Chapter 17 The Lord of Fengyang
In the Ming Pass of the Gorge, Cheng Tiesheng was worried all the way from the city gate tower to the Ming Palace, he is a congenital master, but this road is also churning in blood and blood, can't help but be a little breathless, just now, he went to the city gate with a head and listened to the "Xu Horse" outside, although this Xu Horse did not say anything big in his mouth, but the dignified tone and familiarity with the Guannei are by no means monsters can be disguised, not to mention anything else, the dignified Daxia Horse is outside the gate, this is a big deal!
But he can't open the city gate yet, he, the city guard, can't take that risk, and he doesn't have that power. So I just promised to come here to worship the king of Ming, and the king of Ming decided.
Seventy-two kings of Great Xia, most of the kings are far away from the border city, the mansion of the king of Ming was not in the city of Xiaming, but after this generation of king Ming succeeded to the throne, he guarded the border pass and set up the palace in the city of Xiaming.
"If you can't see King Ming, you have to see Commander Meng, and tell Commander Meng about Qizhou in the past, but you can still remember." Cheng Tiesheng muttered Xu Chuan's words in his heart.
Bang la blah.
The sky was falling sparsely, and the raindrops were cold, splashing one after another.
He rushed to the front of the Ming Palace, as if rushing out of the rain curtain, and rushed up the steps, and the innate guard in front of the mansion immediately stopped him and shouted: "Stop, who is breaking into the palace?" ”
Cheng Tiesheng was wearing an official robe, took out his identity token, and arched his hand: "This brother, don't you recognize me?" I am Cheng Tiesheng, the yamen guard of the city gate guard department, asking to see the king of Ming, and I have an urgent matter to report. ”
The official name is quite long, but to put it bluntly, he is the one who guards the city gate.
Cheng Tiesheng didn't mix in Xiaming City on the first day, he only guarded the city gate in the past two years, and he was still maintaining law and order in the streets and alleys in the first two years. When the guards in front of the gate of Nafu heard this, they took a closer look at him, and they had indeed seen it from afar, they were all mixed in this circle, and they were all congenital monks, and their attitudes immediately became kind, and they laughed, and asked: "It turned out to be Lord Cheng, I don't know if Lord Cheng has any urgent matter to see King Ming, you can tell my brother, and I will relay it for you when King Ming comes back." ”
Cheng Tiesheng was stunned: "What? King Ming is not there? ”
"Oh, King Ming went to the "Mingyue Tower" for a banquet, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to come back for a while. ”
Cheng Tiesheng suddenly jumped to his feet in a hurry: "How is this good... I can't see the king of Ming, that Xu don't have a horse... That's right, Commander Meng! Brother, let me see the Commander, this is a very important matter, and I must tell it myself! ”
The guard shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Commander Meng also went to Mingyue Tower, Lord Cheng, your matter is important, why don't you go to Mingyue Tower to have a look?" ”
Cheng Tiesheng could only grit his teeth, today he was out of the way, the sky was falling, and there was Xu Juma outside, what were you afraid of?
"Okay, I'll go!"
"Stop!"
Suddenly, a shout came, and the shout was crisp but contained an invisible majesty. Cheng Tiesheng turned his head to look. I saw a woman who spoke, this woman was long, wearing a light yellow jacket, a half-body leather armor, a sword under her ribs, and an ink-colored cloak on her shoulders.
Cheng Tiesheng guarded the city gate every day, and if he didn't know any of the big people in Xiamingguan, he immediately recognized him, and he didn't dare to leave, so he could only salute patiently: "The villain has seen the county lord." ”
"Well, I just heard you say in the courtyard that you have an urgent matter to see His Royal Highness King Ming, let's say, what's the matter?" The woman asked in a deep voice.
Cheng Tiesheng's eyes lit up, although the county lord in front of him was the daughter of King Yun, he could cultivate extraordinary, and his status was extremely high, so he could take charge of things.
He immediately stepped forward and told the story.
Several palace guards around him looked at him as if they were fools, this was obviously a trick of the monsters. Cheng Tiesheng's old face didn't blush.
When the Fengyang County Lord heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly disappeared, and muttered, "What kind of guards did he say they were?" ”
"God... Tian Cewei! Cheng Tiesheng said the name of the military guard he had never heard of.
A few people next to him were even more smiling.
Only the Fengyang County Lord's eyes suddenly burst into a flash of light, but then he turned his head and ordered: "Three dogs, pass on my life, and transfer the dragon and the three guards to meet at the city gate. ”
Cheng Tiesheng's face turned pale.
The guard who had received the order turned and swept away, while the other guard said:
"Dragon Teng Sanwei? County Lord, that's six thousand guards... The county lord thinks this is a monster trick? ”
The county lord of Fengyang smiled and shook his head: "Just in case, Lord Cheng, lead the way." ”
"Yes."
Cheng Tiesheng didn't dare to say more, turned around and walked into the rain.
……
Xu Chuan stood in front of the city gate, and a layer of invisible artistic conception naturally radiated around his body, blocking the rain, and the same was true of the three hundred Tiance guards around him. Xu Chuan's face was very solemn, he originally planned to create chaos to attract attention if he couldn't open the city gate, but he didn't know if it was too lucky, the city guard actually believed him and promised to pass the word for him.
This time, Xu Chuan was apprehensive.
Could this city guard be Xia Kun's man? Will he report to Xia Kun instead? After all, Xia Kun is also the king of Ming, and he is a big man in Xiaming City. Although there is no official position in the imperial court, there are still seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister, not to mention the princes and nobles. Since Xia Kun has the heart to be the next Ming King, of course he also has his own power in secret. But thinking about it, Xia Kun didn't know that he had been exposed.
But Xu Chuan still didn't say much, only said that he should be taught to the king of Ming and led by Meng......
"Commander, originally according to the commander's deployment, we also left a military guard in the city to respond, but it was only because we found out that the True Fire Sect was found that the military guards were transferred to the outside of the customs on their own initiative, but I didn't expect... If you don't think about it, please take the lead and punish it. Fang Wuning looked guilty and arched his hand towards Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan shook his head and only said, "I don't blame you." ”
Even if there are guards to answer, can the city gate be opened? Show the identity of Tian Cewei to see King Yan and King Ming? It's the same as it is now, just an extra pair of eyes and ears.
But who would have thought that King Ming would have a spy.
"At this time, you didn't even give me an option?" Xu Chuan secretly stroked his forehead. In times like these, there's always a hint.
But not this time, which made Xu Chuan even more uneasy, could it be that everything he did was useless, and Xiamingguan really couldn't be saved? So none of the options come up?
No!
He lived in this life, and now that he has reached his current status, he must not watch the Xiaming Pass fall!
"Half a pillar of incense, just wait for half a pillar of incense, and once the half pillar of incense passes, it will create chaos." Xu Chuan's face was solemn.
Zhang Tong and other military guards have relatives in their hearts, all of them have solemn faces, and the military order they get is to assist the imperial court guards, kill demons and demons, and defend the Xiaming Pass, if the Xiaming Pass is broken... Then they can only fight to the death!
The military guard, not a cultivator outside the gate, can pat his ass and turn around and leave if he can't beat it, the military guard is favored by the Xia Emperor and cultivated by the imperial court, and there is absolutely no reason to turn around and escape.
They are not afraid to fight to the death, but ...
"Old Chu, old Fang, don't forget the secret order given to me by the Great Commander of Beiyang. Once the Gorge Pass is broken, when it is time for critical survival, it is not a pity for me to die, but I must escort the commander back! Zhang Tong said silently.
Chu Guangxiong and Fang Wuning glanced at each other, they all nodded slightly, their eyes were resolute, this military order, Xu Chuan didn't know at all, there was only one secret order of the Beiyang Grand Commander, no matter what happened, Xu Chuan's safety must be guaranteed! Not because Xu Chuan is a concubine and the son-in-law of Emperor Xia, but because ...... Xu Chuan's talent in formation!
Time passed little by little, and Xu Chuan's expression changed from nervousness and anticipation at the beginning to calm and solemn... There's also a hint of madness. When something had to be done, he calmed down.
"It seems that we have to make a decision..."
At the moment when the half-pillar incense had just arrived, Xu Chuan took a deep breath.
suddenly
Bang.
A thunderous sound sounded, and many military guards instantly surrounded Xu Chuan, Xu Chuan's eyes flashed, and he looked at the city gate with surprise and joy, majestic and heavy, magic weapon refining, and extremely strong city gate... It's on!
The moment the city gate opened, there was a bang.
A group of bronze armor-clad dragon guards rushed out, all of them menacing. Xu Chuan looked at this battle, and his heart couldn't help sinking, couldn't it be that Xia Kun had already succeeded and controlled Long Tengwei? But the thought dispelled this thought, how could the imperial court guards easily listen to others' calls.
Nearly 6,000 guards spread out like wild geese, instantly surrounding Xu Chuan's 300 guards.
Then a pretty figure walked out of the city gate, and his eyes flickered and looked at Xu Chuan, who was surrounded by the Tiance guards in the center, just to take a look.
Xu Chuan and the figure were stunned.
"You?" The county lord of Fengyang looked at Xu Chuan in surprise.
Xu Chuan's heart was turbulent, just because the woman in front of him looked too much like Su Qing! However, his eyesight now is no longer comparable to the past, and he found a difference in an instant, this woman is at most similar to Su Qing's appearance, but her temperament and aura are 108,000 miles apart.
It's just that... It looks too similar! Xu Chuan couldn't help but think of the picture that appeared when he used the Viewing the Future Scroll to look at Su Qing...
"Are you Xu Concubine? Okay, when the horses enter the customs, the county lord personally greets them, and it should be, but this military guard has to be verified first, come, escort them into the customs! The county lord of Fengyang is also extraordinary, and he instantly suppressed the stunned in his heart, and already shouted in a deep voice.
Obviously, he believed in Xu Chuan's identity as a colt.
And the military guard said that it was an escort, which was actually equivalent to an escort.
This is a routine operation, you are Xu Luma, what about the military guard behind it? Xiamingguan is such a heavy place, of course, it is impossible not to treat it carefully.
Those Tiance guards understood this, and they didn't resist, as long as they entered the customs!
"County Lord?" Xu Chuan's heart moved slightly, remembering the information he got when he came, he immediately knew his identity, and immediately said: "Fengyang County Lord, King Ming, King Yan is in danger!" ”
"What?" The county lord of Fengyang was stunned.
……
Mingyue Tower, is the largest restaurant in the Ming Pass of the Gorge, the whole restaurant is covered tonight, it is very lively, not for anything else, just because tonight the Yuanying monk, the sixth master of Xia Kun Xia of the Ming King's lineage marries a wife here and sets up a wedding banquet.
This Xia Liuye is very low-key on weekdays, polite, and even more supportive of today's Ming Wang, every time the border is in an emergency, the monster invades, Xia Liuye is the first to charge ahead, the prestige is not small, his wife died as early as thirty years ago, and now it is rare to marry a wife, of course, it is a happy event, and the Xiamingguan has been plagued by monsters recently, and everyone is nervous, this is a happy event, and it is also a good thing.
The wine banquet in the Mingyue Building has been opened, all kinds of spiritual fruit candied fruits, delicacies, and special meat and vegetables outside the gate are served in turn, Xia Kun is wearing a red robe, drinking happily, and his face is much ruddy. He walked to the front of the case, and behind the case was a young man in white, with a handsome face and a kind look in his eyes. Xia Kun raised his glass and said loudly: "This glass of wine, His Royal Highness King Ming, His Royal Highness can come, this is my honor, haha..."
The young man also raised his glass and said with a smile: "Sixth Uncle has drunk too much, what is the word, what His Highness." ”
"Ambiguous, this is the rule, His Royal Highness is His Highness, in front of outsiders, the rules cannot be broken." Xia Kun shook his head and said.
The young man shook his head with a wry smile, and said sincerely: "What a rule, the sixth uncle is the sixth uncle, Ning'er will not forget, Ning'er was naughty, didn't know the height of the sky, and wanted to follow the example of the prince of Dongyuan to go out, but almost died outside the pass, if it wasn't for the sixth uncle rushing into the demon den to save his life, Ning'er would have become a snack in the monster's mouth, the sixth uncle is the sixth uncle, the sixth uncle forever." ”
When he said this, his voice was not disguised at all, and the Yan King, Yun Wang, and others in the vicinity all listened and smiled slightly. Although King Ming is young, he can see his heart and is very extraordinary.
A touch of emotion floated in Xia Kun's eyes, at the beginning... Yes, he didn't want to come to this point in the first place, and his eyes seemed to be slightly red.
"Ning'er..."
"Sixth uncle, today is your big day, there is no need to say more, by the way, why haven't my sixth aunt come out yet? I want to see what my sixth aunt looks like, and how she fascinates the sixth uncle, haha. King Ming smiled.
"Soon, she's coming out." Xia Kun also smiled. yes, it's coming out.
The plan he had been preparing for many years was finally coming to fruition, and his hands trembled with faint excitement.
King Ming, King Yan, and King Yun looked at him excitedly, and couldn't help laughing, they are all people who have lived for more than a hundred years, and this marriage can be so excited?
"Come, His Royal Highness King Yun, I will toast you." Xia Kun entertained, and at the same time asked, "Why didn't you see the arrival of the Fengyang County Lord?" ”
"The little girl doesn't like to be lively, so don't worry about her." King Yun was dressed in white, his face was slightly vicissitudes, and he had a trace of melancholy temperament.
It is rumored that King Yun has not remarried after the death of his beloved wife, and in this situation, it is inevitable that he will think of himself.
Xia Kun also hurriedly responded, but his brows wrinkled imperceptibly...
……
At this time, on the street outside the Mingyue Tower, a magnificent car was speeding up. In the middle of the car, two figures sat opposite each other.
"The communication is isolated, and there are ghosts." Fengyang County Lord Yu held a messenger in her hand, her pretty face was cold, if she had just heard what Xu Chuan said, she only believed three points, then now she believed nine points.
Xu Chuan sat opposite her, and when he heard that Xia Kun was holding a wedding banquet, he immediately understood the latter's plan, but when he heard the news, he felt a lot more relaxed.
Xu Chuan looked at the Fengyang County Lord in front of him, and wanted to ask if you have any sisters or something. However, this time is inappropriate, and he secretly admires in his heart that the county lord of Fengyang can still remain calm at the moment and ride with him, this heart is really good.
In the words of the county lord of Fengyang, even if King Ming and others have an accident, she is also sure to control the military guard and guard the Ming Pass! This spirit...
The county lord of Fengyang looked at Xu Chuan, and suddenly said: "Xu concubine, I heard that you were selected by Princess Miaoyin to be a concubine and were allowed to marry a folk girl?" It's really a blessing for all people. ”
"......" Xu Chuan nodded awkwardly, not wanting to talk about this topic.
But the county lord of Fengyang said again: "Princess Miaoyin is so generous, beautiful, and honorable, she is much better than that folk girl." ”
Xu Chuan said with a smile: "She is a woman she loves deeply in her heart, why compare with others, Princess Miaoyin, it's just a coincidence..."
But it has been said very clearly, he likes that folk girl, not any princess, marrying a princess, just by chance...
What she said was a bit false, but Princess Fengyang smiled rarely: "By chance? To be favored by the princess, this is something that many men can't dream of, and it's not enough for your stinky fart? ”
"Heh..."Xu Chuan also discovered that this Fengyang County Lord may be a habit she developed in the military guard, which is very hearty, but Xu Chuan listened to it very kindly, and even had a feeling like a spring breeze, and Su Qing were completely different personalities.
Xu Chuan was about to speak, and the county lord of Fengyang turned pale.
"Here we are."
Xu Chuan's consciousness swept away, and the car had stopped in front of Mingyue Tower, and the two immediately got out of the carriage.
……
"Here, the bride is out."
"This is the bride."
In the bright moon building, a woman in red walked into the hall, and all the eyes in the hall converged on her in an instant, and at a glance, she only felt that her appearance was charming, as if she had seen the most beautiful woman, but if they were to describe it, everyone seemed to be unable to describe the woman's appearance.
"My sixth aunt is really charming." King Ming smiled.
The King of Wild Goose and the King of Clouds narrowed their eyes slightly at the same time.
"Come, Nier, come with me to toast King Ming." Xia Kun enthusiastically took the bride's palm and walked towards King Ming.
Seeing that he was about to get closer, suddenly there was a singing voice outside the building:
"The county lord of Fengyang has arrived!"
