Chapter Ninety-Eight: Princess Changming
Enter the city
Two days later, late at night.
Cangzhou capital city.
Due to the approach of the wolf barbarian army, the guards of the palace city were ten times tighter!
The entire city wall is brightly lit, with military flags, spears, and spears, and a series of hard bows and crossbows set up in it, so that even a bird cannot fly into it.
And even so, it was the result of a lot of disagreement between the Yun Kingdom Imperial Court and the direction of the attack of the Blood-Devouring Tribe army.
Some people believe that the main direction of attack of the wolf army is Cangzhou Fucheng.
There is also speculation that the real target is the capital city of Fengzhou.
Some people even made surprising statements, saying that the movement of the enemy's 100,000 horses was all a show, and that they had actually sent cavalry to attack Jingzhou farther away.
......
All kinds of speculations, grounded and blind, and different opinions.
Ten years of peace have made the high-ranking officials in the court more and more proficient in intrigues, but they are a little overstretched in the control of military affairs.
Emperor Yongning was also quite angry about this matter.
A huge cloud country, it is impossible to find a master who can convince everyone!
If people from the military department are used to preside over the war, I am afraid that the people of the main peace faction will obstruct them in every possible way in secret, and do some tricks and tricks in logistics and supply, so as not to affect their status after the people of the military department establish military merits.
But on the other hand, if it is the people who reuse the Lord and the faction, how can these guys, who don't know much about military affairs at all, expect to block the attack of the 100,000 wolf barbarian army?
As a last resort, Emperor Yongning had to make a compromise decision: let the people of the main station department guard their own territory Fengzhou, and the people of the main station department also guard their own Cangzhou.
At this time, on the city wall, suddenly a sentry noticed the anomaly in front of him, and immediately reported loudly:
"Report!"
"Five hundred meters in front of the East City Gate, there is a suspicious figure moving!"
"The number of targets is one person, on horseback, and for the time being, no weapons have been found, please give the general an order!"
At the same time, all the soldiers who heard it around were suddenly awakened, and then immediately took out their weapons and made a vigilant posture.
Cangzhou is the core of a state, and the strength of defense is naturally far from being comparable to the small LY county at the beginning.
"Limit the target to two hundred meters away, continue to observe!"
With the order of the general defending the city, a special marksman immediately bent his bow and arrow, and shot a feathered arrow two hundred meters in front with great accuracy.
This arrow is a warning.
If it is not tolerated, no matter how high the person's status is, he will be shot into a hedgehog in an instant.
And Zhou Qingxue, who was on the horse, naturally knew this rule, and honestly stopped in front of the feather arrow, and then shouted crisply: "I am the princess of Yun Country Changming, there is an urgent military situation here, which needs to be submitted to the generals of Cangzhou immediately, please let me in immediately!"
"Princess Changming?"
There was an uproar on the city wall, how could the princess of the royal family of the Yun Kingdom appear here when the two armies were fighting?
"Does Your Highness have any tokens that can prove your identity? It's late at night, and it's hard to see the movements around you thoroughly, so you must verify your identity, otherwise you won't be able to afford this crime. ”
The general guarding the city frowned, and did not believe the other party's words.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the girl in front of him was under the light of the fire, he could vaguely identify the extremely bright and moving appearance, which was indeed somewhat similar to the rumored Princess Changming, I am afraid that he would not even say this sentence, and directly ordered this person to be driven out.
The case of LY County being completely taken down in an instant because of the loss of the city gate is in front of him, even if he is given another hundred guts, he does not dare to follow in his footsteps and lose the more important Cangzhou Mansion City.
This time, it was Zhou Qingxue's turn to hesitate.
The last time she left, she had already handed over all the things that could prove her identity to Qin Tianya for safekeeping, and at this critical moment, the other party would definitely preside over military affairs in Fengzhou.
However, this kind of trivial matter naturally did not stump Zhou Qingxue, but after a little contemplation, she directly said in an ordered tone: "You are limited to immediately notify Du Ji, the prefect of Cangzhou, within ten minutes, and ask him to rush to the city wall to meet me!
After all, Zhou Qingxue is a person who has been in the top position for a long time, and this loud shout is extremely majestic, and it contains irresistible meaning.
When the general who guarded the city heard this, he immediately believed it in his heart.
Of course, at the moment, the military regulations are strict, although he himself 1 believed, he still didn't have the courage to open the door, but shouted to Zhou Qingxue to wait for a while, and immediately led people straight to Du Ji's mansion.
In less than ten minutes, Du Ji in pajamas hurried under his leadership.
The general guarding the city did not tell him that it was a girl who claimed to be the princess of Yun Guochangming, and asked him to call him over, but said that there was an urgent military situation at the city gate, and he must let him check it in person.
If it weren't for that, Doogie wouldn't have believed what was in front of him.
And when he came to the city wall, Du Ji saw that there was no imaginary army pressure around him, and he was immediately annoyed and angry, and was about to punish him greatly, but he heard a woman below who seemed to be a little familiar!
"Who is she?"
Du Ji looked at Zhou Qingxue with wide eyes, and his brows furrowed into a pimple.
"Back to my lord, this girl claims to be the princess of Yun Kingdom, and she also said that she has an urgent military information in her hand, and she needs you to come and confirm it in person. ”
The general guarding the city replied cautiously on the side.
When Du Ji heard this, he was also stunned at first, but then his expression froze, and while secretly thinking in his heart, he ordered: "Let her come closer and come directly to the city wall!"
So one of the soldiers immediately shouted very politely: "Your Royal Highness, please move directly under the city wall so that we can confirm our identity." ”
With the shouting of the soldiers guarding the city, Zhou Qingxue came to the city gate, glanced at Du Ji, and said coldly: "Du Ji, two years ago, you went to Shangjing City to meet the imperial brother, and by the way, you gave a gift to Lord Ding, we still have a relationship in the Mingxin Palace, can you remember?"
When Du Ji heard this, he suddenly felt a thrill, if it wasn't for the real Princess Changming, he would never know such a secret thing.
So he immediately ordered people to use the giant steel hanging basket at the city gate to pull Zhou Qingxue up with people and horses, and then quickly bowed and saluted.
Seeing this, all the soldiers also bowed down one after another, not daring to look at this Changming princess, who was deeply loved by Emperor Yongning.
In today's Yunguo, everyone knows that Emperor Yongning is extremely fond of this sister, even if Lord Shoufu Ding sees her, he doesn't dare to put on a show a little, but is respectful.
Even Du Ji just followed Zhou Qingxue, bending over and smiling, as if he was just an entourage of others.
"Immediately send an order down, let all the officials above the fifth grade in Cangzhou come to the government and hold a military meeting!"
At this moment, Zhou Qingxue immediately regained her original majesty and demeanor, compared with the image of a little girl who has been following Yang Li and doesn't understand anything during this time, it is simply like two people.
