Chapter Thirty-Six: Urgency is on the line
Pei looked at the rows of soldiers with bright armor and bright weapons outside the arrow under the city wall, and a handsome face was gloomy, as if he could drip water.
"Rebellion, this is a fucking rebellion!" Pei Chuan thought in his heart, but until the last moment, he didn't want to say anything to stimulate the leader of the Great Jin Dynasty with tens of thousands of troops.
Pei Cheng is the captain of the Shangluo City Gate, and is in charge of the 12 city gates of Shangluo City. He is a member of the Pei family in Hedong, one of the eight wealthy families in the world, and he is a dignified four-grade monk.
The Pei family and Empress Jia Zhi are relatives. Empress Jia's aunt married an adult of the Pei family, Empress Jia has either lived in the Jia family since she was a child, or lived in the Pei family, and even the years she spent in the Pei family when she was a child exceeded the years in the Jia family, and the relationship between the two families is very close.
But although the Pei family and Empress Jia have such a close relationship, the Pei family has already publicly stated that the Pei family will never participate in the battle for the throne of the Huangfu family, and no child of the Pei family is allowed to help Empress Jia. For this, Jia Hou was always angry. She couldn't figure out why those cousins, cousins, cousins, cousins, and cousins who had played so well together since they were children didn't help her as a relative?
can be angry to be angry, and Empress Jia was completely blinded before she was angry. She still trusts the Pei family, these cousins and cousins who have played since childhood.
Pei Quan has been playing with Empress Jia since he was a child.
The Jia family and the Pei family are both from Hedong County, and the two hometowns are less than 200 miles apart. According to the two families, the two families have been intermarried since thousands of years ago, and they have long been connected by blood.
Although the head of the Pei family strictly ordered the children of the Pei family not to participate in the battle for the throne of the Huangfu family, Pei Quan's acceptance of the order of the captain of the city gate was an order of the imperial court, and it was a tolerance, and it was not at all a matter of participating in the battle for the throne of the Huangfu family.
Pei Cheng actually absolutely disagreed with Empress Jia's series of behaviors in his heart, and once hoped that the crown prince Fu Yu could ascend to the throne one day earlier. But this is the way things happen in this world, and those who are unsatisfactory in life are nine times out of ten. The talented crown prince Fu Yu died quietly before he had time to display his unparalleled talent.
After Pei Cheng learned the news yesterday evening, his brain was also blank in shock. Many people in their Pei family were extremely shocked, and after being shocked by Na Jia, how could a cute little girl who had grown up since she was a child be so ruthless.
No matter what, Jia Zhi is the queen and the mother of the world, so the emperor Fuyu has to call you a queen mother, and he has to greet you every day.
How do you get it?
can be shocked to shock, how to live your life.
The adult of the Pei family who had the closest relationship with Empress Jia entered the palace overnight last night, and when he came back, he was angry, and lamented repeatedly: "How did Jia Chong give birth to such a daughter who doesn't know the height of the sky, this time I am afraid that it will affect our Pei family." The children of the family, who can go back to Hedong, do not make any stops, and rush back to Hedong overnight. Shangluo is going to be in chaos, and our Pei family is going to suffer a big disaster. Remember, no matter what happens in Shangluo, the children who stay in Hedong must guard the door, don't come out, don't make a sound. Contact them more with the Jinyang royal family, and everything is based on the Jinyang royal family. ”
Although Pei Quan was shocked by the murder of the crown prince, he disagreed with the words of the high-ranking purple-robed monk in his family.
This is Sangaluo, which is the center of the empire.
Last time, they all talked about the rebellion of Yang Jun, and they all said that the rebellion of the king of Runan and the king of Chu, but so what?
Shangluo should be anyway, except for those few people who died unlucky, nothing has changed in this life.
The relaxation of the politics of the Great Jin Dynasty has been unparalleled since the Great Yin. Everyone is in the same palace, everyone is a high-ranking family, and no one will make that kind of brain-dead move regardless of the big killing.
When he heard the sound of trumpets in the office of the captain of the city gate, which only appeared in the training on weekdays, his heart seemed to sink to the bottom in an instant.
When he hurried to Wanchun Gate, standing on the city wall, he saw the leader of the Great Jin Dynasty who was approaching the city wall step by step in a neat queue, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged up from the bottom of his heart.
"Could it be that what Fifth Uncle predicted last night is going to come true?"
He shook his head, wanting to shake off this ominous thought, and cheered himself up in his heart: "The majesty of the Shangluo City Wall, even if there are more soldiers and horses, it is useless. ”
"Guo Mo!" he shouted.
"Here, my lord!" Guo Mo, who had been standing on the side, immediately stood with his feet together and responded in a loud voice.
"Immediately check whether the bows and arrows, bed crossbows, falling rocks, rolling logs, spirit stones and other items are in good condition. ”
"Order, my lord!" Guo Mo replied loudly, and immediately called a few people to trot away together.
The city wall of Shangluo is carved with countless talismans, as long as it is triggered, it is infinitely useful. This is the center of the world, this is the center of the empire, this is the most majestic city in the world, this is a city that is said to never be captured!
Seeing Guo Mo in the distance in an orderly and meticulous manner directing everyone to check all kinds of equipment one by one, Pei Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
He has always been very satisfied with Guo Mo and satisfied with this person's ability. He values Guo Mo very much, and he once privately told his family that Guo Mo will definitely become a famous general in the Great Jin Dynasty in the future.
On that day, after Yang Jun was captured, as Yang Jun's personal guard, except for a few people such as Guo Mo who were put down, everyone else also put down their weapons and surrendered. It has been suggested that all these guards should be stripped of their titles and deported to their homes. Pei Quan had always heard of Guo Mo's name, so he asked Guo Mo and others from the king of Runan. Since then, Guo Mo has followed Pei Quan. It's just that people have become more reticent.
"Hmph, there are more than 2,000 soldiers under the captain of my city gate. Relying on a tall city wall like Shangluo, as long as the supplies are sufficient, it is useless to attack with more people. Pei Quan secretly thought, "No matter what, you can't let the army into the city." As long as the army does not enter the city, the situation in Upper Los Angeles can still be controlled. It was this time that Empress Jia suffered, at most, it was like Yang Jun last time, like King Chu of Runan last time, and there was not much trouble. ”
He had made up his mind, and the eyes under his helmet stared coldly at the army that had already stood still, at the first two people who were riding on two tall horses.
He knew the two of them, and he and one of them had drunk together in Shizhong's Zize Garden a few days ago, and watched the wonderful show performed by the geisha of the Shi family.
This person is the prince of King Zhao, Huangfu Fufu.
And the person around Huangfufu is Zhang Lin, the right-hand man of Huangfulun, King Zhao.
"Shizi," Pei Cheng said loudly to Huangfu Fu in the distance, although the distance is far away, but for Pei Quan, a fourth-grade monk with deep cultivation, this distance is nothing, "Do you have an edict from the Son of Heaven to recruit you into the city?"
"Brother Pei," that Huangfu Fu is in his fifties this year, but his cultivation has already caught up with his talented father, who is also a dignified fourth-grade monk, "You and I have been friends for many years, but I don't want to meet under such circumstances one day." Yesterday, the prince was killed, and everyone in Shangluo was terrified. My father, Wang is the son of Emperor Xuan, the younger brother of Emperor Jing and Emperor Wen, and he is actually a close relative of the clan. The emperor's family suffered such misfortune, how could my father stand idly by. Najia Hou brutalized the crown prince and imprisoned the Son of Heaven, which was cruel and tyrannical, and everyone knew it. Let me ask, how can my father obtain the edict of the Son of Heaven? Isn't that all controlled by Empress Jia? Today's matter, I hope that Brother Pei will raise his noble hand and let me and others enter the city. After this is over, I will have a good time with Brother Pei. ”
"Shizi, Pei has a duty in his body, and he only recognizes the edict of the Son of Heaven, and does not recognize old friends. Thinking of having been friends for many years, I also hope that the prince will listen to Pei's good words and persuade him. Pei Quan's face was stern and said, "Without the edict of the Son of Heaven, the leading army in the private investigation is complicit in rebellion." I also hope that the prince will rein in the precipice, and immediately lead the leading army to return to the station, and ask for the guilt to wait for the responsibility of God. It's not too late to make amends. Pei should do his best to protect Shizi and others. This is the Luocheng Gate, as long as Pei still has a breath, he will definitely not open the door. Everyone says that good medicine is bitter, and loyalty is against the ear, Pei Mou's ugly words are in front, and I hope that the prince will think twice, and I hope that the soldiers who will lead the army will think twice!"
"Brother Pei, Na Jia has gone against the grain, and everyone in Shangluo wants to get it, avenge the prince, and return justice to the prince. Huangfu Fu sat on the tall horse and looked at Pei Cheng standing on the Wanchun Gate from afar, and continued to persuade, "I hope that Brother Pei will not go his own way and do the thing of blocking the car with his mantis arm." Brother Pei, you have to recognize the situation, and don't do anything for Na Jia anymore. ”
"Pei Moufei is doing things for Empress Jia. Pei Quang shouted categorically, "Pei Mou is a dignified city gate captain appointed by the imperial court, and his responsibilities lie, and he really doesn't dare to abandon the imperial court system for his own selfish interests." This Shangluo City Gate, without the edict of the Son of Heaven, the foreign army is not allowed to enter even a soldier, this is a clear regulation of the Great Jin Dynasty, everyone knows. The son of the world is Su Zhang's resurrection today, his tongue is like a clever spring, and he can't say that he moved Pei at all. Pei's words have come to this point, if the son of the world continues to be obsessed, Pei will recognize the son, and the various weapons on the city wall will not recognize the son. ”
After Pei Cheng said this, he let out a clear sound, and saw him pull out the sword at his waist and shout loudly: "Bow and crossbow car crossbow!"
"Yes!" The soldiers who were guarding next to those huge bow carts heard Pei Quan's order, and immediately picked up a huge bed crossbow that was full of one person high from the ground and installed it on the bow cart more than a foot long. Then two more soldiers, who were standing on either side of the cart with large shoulders and round waists, immediately twisted the turntables on both sides of the crossbow cart at the same time, and heard a creaking sound, and the ballista bowstring, the thickness of a child's arm, was tightly pulled into the shape of a full moon. The iron arrowhead at the tip of the huge bed crossbow reflected a cold, murderous aura that made people palpitate.
This bed crossbow is a sharp weapon for defending the city, even a five-inch thick shield, which can also be instantly penetrated by such a huge bed crossbow. There is no one in this world who can stop the shot of this heavy bed crossbow, and it is useless to be shot by this kind of bow and crossbow, no matter how high the cultivation is.
"Shizi, Pei Mounian has been intersecting for many years, and then give Shizi a stick of incense to think about it. If the prince does not retreat by then, it is no wonder that Pei has no long eyes on his bow and arrows. ”
