Chapter 430 - Beyond the Palace
The old man stood motionless in front of the palace gate like a statue, no matter the cold spring breeze blew up the thick winter clothes on his body and got into his arms, the old man did not move half a minute, even the action of tightening the winter coat on his body, but tried his best to straighten his back, neither humble nor arrogant, looking at the towering imperial city.
The three people behind him, their eyes full of worry, looked at the old man in front of him, until a moment later, the reckless man finally couldn't bear it, picked up a big piece from the carriage, and pulled his feet to step forward to put it on for the old man.
"Lao Zhang, don't mess around, this is not Weizhou, let alone Shanhaiguan, etiquette cannot be abolished, you are not doing this for the good of the master, but will give people a handle!"
Although Wu Fen didn't know why Xiang Ye insisted on entering the palace overnight to face the saint, he also knew that since Xiang Ye returned to Beijing, he didn't listen to the emperor's orders, and he had already aroused the dissatisfaction of many civil and military officials.
Without the emperor's order, entering the palace overnight has broken the royal rules, and if you are rude in front of the palace gate this time, I am afraid that you will no longer be able to suppress the anger of the officials.
Zhang Hude carried the big coat, listened to Wu Fen's words of obstruction, and then looked at the immovable old back in front of him, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Old Wu, Xiangye is not as good as us, his body... I see that you have entered Jianglin, your courage has become smaller, and people are also cautious, this is not good, that is not appropriate, I am afraid that he is very birdy, the big deal is Lao Zhang, I will protect Xiangye, kill out of Jianglin City, and return to Weizhou to be free and easy."
Seeing that Zhang Hude had a stubborn temper at this critical time, Wu Fen secretly complained, and even Zhang Hude might be able to listen to his own persuasion on weekdays, if it was really tempered, I am afraid that the remaining six sons of Qi Yun's seven sons would persuade him together, and he would not be able to persuade him.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Lao Zhang, and wanted to persuade him again, but Zhang Hude threw away his arm and carried the big bag, regardless of it, he was about to step forward.
When it was no longer possible to stop it, the crisp voice of the cardamom girl behind him was mixed with a bit of anger.
"Uncle Tiger can't make a mistake!"
Wang Yue'er's words seemed to be an empowerment, which made the impulsive Zhang Hude calm down a little in an instant, Zhang Hude also knew that Wang Yueer was a little woman on weekdays, but if she was really on top of the military array, the 80,000 sons of Weizhou would be more willing to listen to Wang Yue'er's words than herself and Wu Fen, not to mention that she has been smart and clever since she was a child, and even Xiao Xiang praised her for being the boss of 80,000 sons in the future.
At the moment when Wang Yue'er was angry, Zhang Hude stood on the spot with his cloak in his hand, not advancing or retreating, not because he was afraid of Wang Yue'er and Wang Tian behind her, but because he had watched Wang Yue'er grow up since she was a child, and she had already treated her as half a daughter.
"Okay, Lao Zhang, you don't listen to my words, Yue'er's words, you should listen to them!" Wu Fen saw that Wang Yue'er's words finally worked, so he relieved his mind and softened his tone slightly.
Zhang Hude looked at the old man's back and sighed heavily, and was about to turn back, but he felt a light hand, looked sideways, and saw that Wang Yue'er was already in tears, and took the big sword in his hand.
Looking at the cardamom girl's cheeks with tears, Zhang Hude's heart softened, and he wanted to apologize, but when he didn't know how to speak, he only heard Wang Yue'er whisper: "Uncle Hude, Yue'er is in a hurry, she lost her manners, and I hope that Uncle Hude will be worried about it... If Uncle Hude is angry in his heart, when tonight's matter is over and he returns home, Yue'er will be willing to accept the punishment."
"Yue'er, how can Uncle Hude blame you, you are right with Lao Wu, I am too impulsive, doing this will only cause trouble for Xiangye..."
After Zhang Hude calmed down, he was opening his mouth to Wang Yue'er and Wu Fen, but he heard the loud and heavy sound of opening the door, and several people immediately stopped their voices, looked over the old figure, and looked straight towards the city gate. Look at the book
The gate that symbolizes the supreme position, symbolizes the supreme imperial power, and everyone in the world yearns for the city gate slowly opened, and the first to come out were two columns of Qi Yunwei, gold armor and gold halberd, silver armor covering, although it was night, but the fierce meaning revealed in the silver armor armor made Zhang Hude and the three of them who were dozens of zhang away all have a change in complexion.
"Old Wu... I didn't expect that after only eighteen years, he actually had such an elite in his hands..."Zhang Hude's eyes were full of deep jealousy, and he looked at the two columns of golden armor Qi Yunwei and muttered.
Wu Fen also looked at Qi Yunwei and said solemnly, "Back then... He, the strongest non-return army under his command, is just such a military posture... It seems that it is getting harder and harder to find justice..."
Although Wang Yue'er, who was watching quietly, did not speak, she could also see from the solemnity in her clear eyes that she was afraid of Qi Yunwei who was wearing gold armor.
Growing up in the border pass since he was a child, he has long been accustomed to the strong killing intent of the people in the army, but this group of gold-armored guards who came out of the city gate is not like the Qi Yun soldiers I saw before.
The fierce killing intent exuded by these golden-armored Qi Yunwei's bodies was deeply shocked even Wang Yue'er, who was used to seeing him fighting at the border all year round.
However, the old figure standing in the cold wind still did not change, even if the killing intent was offset, even if the cold wind was biting, he still looked at these golden armor guards calmly.
"There is a decree in the saint, Xiao Xiang is old, reciting the merits of the three dynasties, and giving the jade chariot to see you!" Zhongqi's sharp voice, accompanied by the cold wind, went straight into the sky, and the entire Jianglin inner city heard it, and it was the dark clouds in the sky that wanted to cover the moon, and it was also dispersed by him.
Zhang and Wu beside the carriage looked at each other, although they had already known that this old eunuch's martial arts was extremely high in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, they never thought that he would have such a cultivation, they looked at each other and retracted their gaze for a moment, and the two of them took a step together, wanting to protect Xiao Xiang and meet together.
"Two uncles!" The cardamom girl's voice sounded again, calling the two who were about to leave, causing the two to look back together, thinking that Yue'er was going to stop her, but she whispered.
"If the two uncles go, they will be charged with trespassing in the palace, and if they want to kill or kill at that time, it will be up to others to decide!" Wang Yue'er frowned slightly and said.
How could Zhang and Wu not know, but letting them watch Xiao Xiang go to see Qi Shao alone was even more uncomfortable than killing them on the spot.
"Old Wu, are you afraid?" Zhang Hude seemed to have made up his mind, and smiled at Wu Fen beside him.
When Wu Fen heard this, as if he had guessed Zhang Hude's thoughts, his slightly frowning brows suddenly stretched: "As long as Xiao Xiang is okay, life and death are not to be feared."
"Now I can't take care of Xiao Xiang's orders, let's rush over, as long as Xiao Xiang returns to Weizhou, it will be Qi Shao's old boy, and he will be helpless!" Zhang Hude had clenched his fists, and a pair of tiger eyes were already looking at the two columns of Qi Yunwei, secretly thinking about the enemy's method.
Wu Fenying was already looking back at the way he had come, thinking about how to get out after looking for someone to take...
Just as the two were calculating, they saw a shadow come out of the two of them, snatched the big sword from Zhang Hude's hand, and ran towards Xiao Xiang, leaving only the girl's voice into the ears of the two.
"The two uncles should remember Grandpa Xiao's orders, remember my grandfather's orders, I have my own law to protect Grandpa Xiao, just wait for the two uncles, everything is with me, don't be impulsive!"
Seeing this, Zhang Hude hurriedly stepped forward and chased the girl back, but was pulled by Wu Fen beside him, although Wu Fenshi was impulsive in his heart, but under Wang Yueer's words, he finally calmed down quickly.
"Yue'er is right, Lao Zhang, you and I are too impulsive, calm down and think about it carefully, he actually let that old dog spread the decree so loudly, he must be afraid that if Xiangye has a business in the palace, he will be truthful."
Zhang Hude heard Wu Fen's words, and patted his head and said: "Yes, Shicai doesn't think about it carefully, after you mention it, it's true, don't say that King Yun and his old man are commensurate with Xiangye's brothers, even if it is 80,000 elites in Weizhou, he won't be too embarrassed Xiangye, Yue'er... The county lord went with him, and he would throw a rat trap and dare not act rashly... So what do we do next?"
"I don't have much idea at this point..."
Wu Fen muttered in his mouth, but when he swept towards Qi Yunwei again and saw the person leading the troops, his eyes lit up and he said, "There is!"
......
The burning sensation in the old man's chest grew, but he held on with great perseverance not to cough up, and he knew that once he showed his declining state, the man would only become more unscrupulous.
Jiang Lin's road is so familiar, but at this time it is so unfamiliar, the scene when the soldiers came out of Jiang Lin seems to be in front of him, the banner of "protecting Li Min" seems to appear in front of him again, the morale of Qi Yun is strong, and there are many talents...
The old man is like flowing water, and the past cannot be kept.
Just as he was thinking back to the scene of the year, the old man was eared
The sound of hurried steps sounded, and I couldn't help but stop, and the voice of the cardamom girl also came.
"Grandpa Xiao!"
The old man still didn't look back, just looked up at the sky and smiled, as if pleased, more like self-deprecation, and then said softly: "You are in the spirit of heaven, I never thought that I need such a girl to protect my life right now..."
After a moment of sighing, the cardamom girl had already come to her side, grabbed the old man's arm, supported her strong body, raised her hand to put on a big coat for him, and said softly: "Grandpa Xiao, Yue'er will accompany you..."
"Hude, Wu Fen..." Da Yu was draped, Xiao Xiang eased the chill slightly, and the burning feeling in his chest was also relieved a lot, seeing the girl on his side coming alone, he knew that she had persuaded the second general behind her, and he saw that she loved her more and more.
"Grandpa Xiao asked knowingly, although the two uncles were a little impulsive, they also knew how to advance and retreat..." Wang Yue'er saw the calmness in the eyes of the old man beside her, and knew that everything she did could not escape his eyes, so she immediately smiled and spoke.
In the eyes of this former peerless national warrior, he actually ignored the golden armor guard who was a hundred steps away, showing a little cunning light like a young man, and stroked his beard and said, "The old man is indeed knowingly asking, and if he wants to choose a good granddaughter-in-law for the old man's grandson, of course he has to think about it."
"When did Grandpa Xiao become like my grandfather, and he liked to make fun of Yue'er... Besides, I... I've only heard his story a few times from you, and... I haven't seen your grandson yet... As we have said, I want to marry, but I am not the right person, I want to marry, and I will marry the great hero who is for the common people in the world!" Wang Yue'er blushed instantly and replied in a low voice.
When the old man heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, although it was not as loud as Zhongqi's resounding in the sky, it did make the golden armor a hundred steps away retreat slightly.
This dying old strategist, in such an instant, returned to the heroic posture when he helped the old Yun King talk and laugh, destroy the group of marquis, and was passed on by the mouth of the world to be a peerless national warrior, and the bright moon in the sky seemed to be dyed by the laughter of the old man, blooming endless moonlight, sprinkling on the world...
A hundred steps away, behind the golden armor, in the middle of the road, the red light is faintly visible.
Jiuwu withdrew his gaze from the old man, turned his head slightly, and spoke softly to the rickety old dog beside him.
"What do you think of him..."
"The old slave can assert that he has no internal strength to support him... As for this month... The old slave really doesn't know, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." Zhongqi's body was more clumsy, and he responded respectfully.
"Worthy of the name of the unrivaled national warrior, but... Still lose half of my son, hahahaha, Zhongqi, follow me to meet this gentleman."
