Battle of Changping Chapter 238 Rushing to the city gate to block the way
Although he knew that he could no longer do anything, Lin Xiangru still had to do it. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, even if he knows that he will most likely lose face and even be ruthlessly humiliated, Lin Xiangru knows that he must go.
Not for anything else, just for Zhao Guo, who he has been waiting for all his life!
"Let's go!" Lin Xiangru supported his body with one hand, despite the fact that he was still wearing only a white dress, and even his hair was still scattered, and the other hand had already pulled up Zhao Yu beside him.
"Shangqing, what is this?" Zhao Yu asked a little puzzled.
"Go to the party, and they shall go out of the west gate, and go to the west gate to stop them." Lin Xiangru gritted his teeth and gasped for breath and said, obviously weak, even if he got up, it was already quite difficult for him.
"Shangqing, you!" The old servant on the side hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.
It was easy to stand up, Lin Xiangru only felt dizzy for a while, he knew that with his current physical strength, if he wanted to hold on to the city gate, he was afraid that it would not be easy.
"Go find two servants, and carry me forward." Lin Xiangru ignored the old servant's hard advice, but firmly gave the old servant instructions.
"I'll come." Zhao Yu on the side was obviously also moved by Lin Xiangru, and without the slightest hesitation, he turned his back.
Lin Xiangru was not polite, and immediately lay on Zhao Yu's back, and the old servant had no choice but to carefully support his master on the side.
Then the three of them headed for the carriage parked outside the door.
It was easy to get into the carriage, and under Zhao Yu's constant urging, the carriage immediately galloped on the road leading to the west gate of Handan City.
Soon, the galloping carriage had reached the gate of the west gate.
Lin Xiangru, who was about to be torn apart, was relieved with the help of Zhao Yu and the old servant, and got off the carriage with difficulty, as far as he could see: it was a group of soldiers outside the city gate who maintained order, walking towards the city.
A sense of foreboding struck me again.
Lin Xiangru and Zhao Yu glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's worries, and then their clenched hands were slightly released.
Zhao Yu understood, handed Lin Xiangru to the old servant, and then took three steps and two steps to the guard at the city gate.
Grabbing a soldier dressed in fine armor and looking good, Zhao Yu took out his seal from his arms, identified himself and asked, "I am Zhao Yu, the court's doctor, have the envoys such as Pingyang Jun arrived?"
Obviously, the chief guarding the city rarely saw big people, and even if he was a little uncomfortable, he immediately said tremblingly: "Your Excellency, Pingyang Jun and other royal envoys have just left the city, and the little ones have returned from maintaining the order of leaving the city."
Hearing this, Zhao Yu's heart suddenly cooled: hurry up and hurry up or be a step too late.
Lin Xiangru on the side didn't know when he had already arrived at his side, and Lin Xiangru, who was already shocked by the bumpy carriage, was a little ugly, and his face became more and more ugly at this time.
"Shangqing ......" Zhao Yu looked depressed, and just wanted to repeat the words of the guard to Lin Xiangru, but was interrupted by Lin Xiangru.
Obviously, the words of the guard just now, Lin Xiangru has already heard everything. However, seeing and hearing things, Lin Xiangru is obviously still not at ease.
He immediately said, "Let's go out of the city and see."
"Yes!" Zhao Yu had no choice but to support this Lin Xiangru from left to right, just like the old servant, and slowly moved outside the city gate.
Under the warm afternoon sun, a long queue like ants appeared a few hundred meters west of Handan City, and it was obvious that they had been gone for some time.
And with Lin Xiangru's body, it is obvious that he can't chase anymore, not to mention, even if he catches up and leaves Handan City, the deterrent power of Lin Xiangru's three words is extremely limited. At least they couldn't close the gates and block their way.
"Hey! It's just one step away." Zhao Yu beat his chest on the side and paused his feet.
Just one step away, he and others can stop the mission. Not to mention directly persuading everyone to make other plans, at least it can be delayed for a moment or two, and even with the prestige of Lin Shangqing, it is not a big problem to declare a curfew and close the four gates. Later, he argued with him in the court......
It's a pity that the one who is in a hurry is one step behind. I can't help it
Yu is not extremely indignant.
Lin Xiangru looked at the team that was gradually moving away, but his heart was unusually calm, he knew that they were probably not just one step behind, and they were afraid that they had been guarding against their "blocking the road in front of the city" from the beginning.
Obviously, Zhao Yu must have rushed to his house immediately after the end of the court meeting, and the conversation between himself and Zhao Yu did not delay for long, and then the two came to the west gate by carriage.
It stands to reason that although the preparation of the mission can be simple, it will take a lot of time after all, although Zhao Yu took a detour to his mansion, but in the end, he and the others should be able to block the envoy in the city.
However, the envoys who needed to prepare were faster than themselves and the others, and they had already left the city before they arrived!
There is only one possibility, the other party has been prepared.
Originally, on the carriage, listening to Zhao Yu talk about the situation of the court meeting, Lin Xiangru already faintly felt in his heart that this matter was probably "premeditated" that Lou Chang and others had already discussed, but he didn't expect them to think about things so thoroughly and do it so resolutely.
Judging from the distance, Lou Chang and Pingyang Jun and others are afraid that they will have a court meeting, and after getting the national letter and the king's order, they immediately gathered the people and went directly to the west gate. Even the centaurs were already waiting at the west gate, otherwise there would be no explanation why they could move so quickly.
With mental calculation or unintentional, he and others lost unjustly this time.
It's just that Lin Xiangru still refuses to admit defeat in his heart, or Lin Xiangru still has an obsession and a fantasy in his heart: King Zhao may just be blinded for a while, not ......
"Let's go!" Lin Xiangru turned to Zhao Yu beside him and said, "Go to the palace!"
"Yes! The royal palace." Zhao Yu, who was unwilling, suddenly woke up.
Indeed, it is impossible to catch up now, and if it is said that it can prevent the tragedy from happening, it is only the king! As long as Shangqing can persuade the king, as long as he can make up a royal order...... Maybe there's a chance!
While thinking, Zhao Yu walked towards the city with Lin Xiangru in his arms.
The clattering of horses' hooves immediately sounded on the main street of Handan City, still so rapid and powerful, but Lin Xiangru knew in his heart that if he wanted to persuade the king, I am afraid it would not be so easy, and even without the acquiescence of King Zhao, Lou Chang and Pingyang Jun dared to convene the city envoy in advance, and could they prepare in advance?
It's just that these thoughts flashed in Lin Xiangru's mind, but he didn't want to admit it.
In the midst of the ups and downs, Lin Xiangru closed his eyes slightly, saving his physical strength, and at the same time, he was also thinking about how to persuade King Zhao.
It's a pity......
