Outside the Suzaku Gate, it is heavily guarded.

The two hundred guards were bright and bright, and they didn't say a word, which made people breathless.

At the base of the palace wall, there are several white circles drawn by lime, which shine a little fluorescent under the moonlight, which is particularly eye-catching.

"Come~Lift your feet~"

An old soldier carrying an ash pot skillfully drew another dough circle, and two sergeants behind him drove several people into the circle without saying a word, and then turned and left.

"This ...... When I'm waiting for a pig! You guys...... The deception is too great, and the adults of my family are ......"

A middle-aged man wearing armor, helmet, and weapons who had been taken away jumped to his feet and wanted to scold, but was swept away by the cold eyes of the two sergeants, and immediately shut up and did not dare to say more.

Seeing a few people walking away, a guy in the circle next to him who seemed to be very talkative came over, and his face was full of pride in seeing people in trouble.

"Hey, bro! Which house? ”

"Whoever is a brother with you, my lord is the Dazai Cheng of the Dynasty......"

The embarrassed general obviously hadn't figured out the situation yet, and was about to go back with a gloomy face, but the person who came to talk to him laughed.

"Dazai-sei? The petty official of 400 stones is also so domineering, my family is still a doctor, isn't he staying honest in this circle? ”

As soon as he heard that the master behind the other party was his own superior, the general suddenly felt that his face was gloomy, and he lost his arrogance, and he was about to step out of the white circle in front of him and go to find those soldiers to theorize.

"Well, you can figure it out. Those who are out of the circle will be killed, you won't have heard it, right? ”

Since that day of the battle in Miyagi, He Jin was bounded by blood, and the rule of drawing lines spread in the Beijing camp. For those big-headed soldiers who don't read much, the boundaries are like military orders, and they are surprisingly effective in the whole training.

It's just that this time it's been used back here, and it can be regarded as a return to the origin.

Others kindly reminded them that they naturally had to listen to it first, but the general refused to admit defeat and said hatefully: "I am an official of the imperial court, so I don't believe that they dare to kill court officials outside this palace gate!" ”

It's okay not to say this, but after saying it, the guy with the bad head of the words sneered even more disdainfully, pointing to the distance.

"Commander? I'm tired of tiptoeing to see what's piled up over there! ”

When the general heard this, he looked in the direction pointed by the tip of his nose, and saw a small bag stacked under the moonlight, which was too far away to see what it was.

"See? The last batch of people who tried to run out of the circle theory are now piling up over there. ”

The words were an understatement, but the general gasped when he heard this, smelled the faint smell of blood in the air, and quietly retracted one of his raised legs.

"Are these people really so domineering? No, my lord is still waiting for news, I have to ...... Find a way to slip back, Lao Tzu was also trained in the army, and he has not slackened over the years, and if he really runs, they may not be able to catch up. ”

"Slip back? There's a moat ahead, where do you want to go? A man leaning against the city wall and closing his eyes sneered, "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, tonight's excitement is ...... Alas...... I'll rest in peace, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Yes, yes......"

At first, the man was just about to train the newcomer, when the sound of horses' hooves broke through the night from far and near, interrupting him.

"Huh? There are a lot of people this time, it looks like what your house is, now it's fun to see! ”

They are all small-headed and small-faced characters, and they come in groups of three or five to inquire about the news, and there are only a dozen of them, so naturally they can't set off a big storm.

But it seems that the posture of people is not an ordinary family, and when the time comes, they may have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

……

"My lord, someone is here again."

"Pull aside."

"It's not...... My lord, this time it's not a small matter. ”

"Oh?"

The adult dressed as a civil official hurriedly climbed up to the battlement of the city tower and looked into the distance, and saw a team with a watermill of people and horses galloping forward, and the flag held at the head was written with the word "Huangfu" written on it.

The person who is responsible for cooperating with the Suzaku Gate will also be very famous in the future, but at this time, he can't compare with the person who came, and as soon as he saw the flag, he immediately changed his face and ran back to the city gate tower quickly.

Pushing open the door, he looked at the subordinate officials, and pointed to the shelves full of documents on the side.

"Quick, find out General Huangfu! Sharper hands and feet. ”

"Where, which Imperial General?" The subordinate officer was caught off guard and a little confused.

"Bastard! Which one do you say!? ”

The city gate official didn't care, he did it himself, turned out a silk scroll in the most conspicuous place on the shelf, confirmed the name on it, and then ran down the city gate tower without stopping.

Thanks to his faster running, he was encountering a tense scene when he first arrived at the bridge.

"Bold! Whose will did your general do to lock Miyagi without permission, and dare to act so recklessly! ”

The general guarding the bridge knew the identity of the person who came, but he couldn't get out of the way, so he had to bow his head and keep silent, but he only stood firmly in front of the horse.

Seeing that it was about to happen, the civil official hurriedly ran over a few steps and grabbed the reins of Huangfu Song's horse.

"Old general, old general, calm your anger, listen to me."

"Xun You! When the general conquered you, I still said that you were loyal and diligent, but I didn't want to be the same......"

That civil official is Xun You, Xun Gongda, and now a mediocre little person in the Yingchuan Xun clan.

At this time, he was not valued by the family, and he had not experienced political experience, but he was just a small Huangmen squire promoted by He Jin.

However, the Yellow Gate Squire has his own duties, and although Huangfu Song was angry, he immediately calmed down and leaned over to listen to what he had to say.

"Your Majesty has a will for the old general, and the subordinate does not dare to say much, you will know it clearly after you have seen it."

Just now, when Liu Wei explained that he came to guard the city gate, he had already given instructions, and those who sneakily inquired about the news were all left, and those who brought reinforcements to fight the fire had the intention of preparing in advance.

If he sees the will and thinks otherwise, he will take advantage of the fire to rob him......

Liu Wei still has a good impression of Huangfu Song, and the fact that he does not participate in the court dispute is a big plus for him.

However, good feelings are good feelings, but there is no special treatment.

Huangfu Song took the holy decree, shook it open, and was stunned for a moment.

There is not much text on it, which basically means that the fire in the palace is not an accident, let go back to the house to rest, and today's events are kept secret, but the seal behind is really more.

On the side, it was not the first time that Xun You had seen someone read the holy decree, and secretly said that this temporary dispatch was not easy to do, and hurriedly explained:

"Your Majesty was afraid that the old general would not believe it, so he deliberately asked the general to use the general's seal, and also used the queen mother's seal. As for His Majesty's own ......"

Speaking of this, Xun You was also a little nervous, so he simply didn't say anything.

Huangfu Song was on horseback, looking at the messy six emperor's seals on the holy decree, and his temples jumped.

"Ridiculous! The imperial seals have their own functions, how can they be so messy! ”

Although it is ridiculous on the lips, I already believe it in my heart.

This is what His Majesty the Emperor can do, if there is only one seal at this time, and it is used correctly, it is not normal!

Seeing that the old general's expression was slightly softened, Xun You hurriedly bowed his hand.

"The old general, go back to ...... house"

"No, I'm right here. Wait until tomorrow to go to court, and ask Your Majesty about this indiscriminate use of seals! ”

Now that he is definitely not at ease when he returns home, Huangfu Song decided to wait outside this city gate in case there is a change.

The old general simply took people to the root of the city wall, sat cross-legged, and put the big knife on his knees, and then beckoned Xun You to come over:

"Come, ask your people to draw a circle for this official too!"

Xun You: "......"
