Chapter Ninety-Nine: Emperor Ming's Personal Expedition
On this day, Huang Menlang, who Ziqing placed beside Jin Yan, came to report that Jin Yan had left the palace, and Ziqing was puzzled and didn't know what this Jin Yan was going to do, so he hurried to the palace.
Unexpectedly, before he approached the palace gate, he saw a person by chance, and Ziqing was puzzled again:
"Duan Gan Ji Shu, he appeared again? How did he end up in the palace? In a blink of an eye, Duan Gan had already flown out of the palace, and Ziqing chased out with Gongsun Yi Gongsun Amazing. ”
chased to the street, and disappeared, Ziqing and the other three patrolled the street, and after chasing for a long time, they were nowhere to be seen.
But when he saw a person rushing to the front, this person seemed to be very anxious, and the horse's body was bloodied by him, and this person was also sweating profusely.
The man whipped the pedestrians on the side of the road while driving the horses and urged them to give way, and the pedestrians were miserable, and Gongsun was amazed and couldn't look at it, and said angrily:
"Brother Jin, this person is too unreasonable, he is so arrogant in broad daylight, wait for me to teach him a lesson!"
said that he was about to step forward to stop the horse, but Ziqing had already used a good horse-
"Stand down!"
I saw that the sword lit up in front of the horse's eyes, and the horse was frightened by the sudden light, and raised the horse's head and neighed, and the man hurriedly grabbed the reins and said angrily: "Who dares to stand in the way?" ”
When he saw Ziqing, he hurriedly reined in and exclaimed:
"Ah, General Kim!"
Ziqing said angrily: "Who gave you the right to hurt innocent people? ”
The man hurriedly replied, "This, General Jin's subordinates have urgent matters and must not be delayed. ”
Ziqing glanced at the military in his hand and couldn't stop it anymore, and asked:
"What's going on, why are you in such a hurry?"
"This, the villain doesn't know, and the villain will report it non-stop when he receives the order."
Ziqing saw the red wax oil mark on the seal of the military Jane, and it was really urgent, so he turned sideways and gave way, and the man drove the horse to continue to hurry.
Ziqing thought to herself: Could it be that those weirdos have already taken action?
Not long after, another horse galloped over and stopped Ziqing.
The Gongsun brothers and sisters were busy vigilant, the man quickly dismounted, it turned out to be the Ouchi guard, and when he saw Ziqing, he hurriedly dismounted and gave a salute, and said:
"General Jin, long live an urgent summons, please General Jin quickly return to the palace to face the saint."
Ziqing couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this, something must have happened.
glanced at Gongsun Yi beside him, and hurriedly rode the horse back to the palace.
Seeing the soldiers and horses inside and outside the Han Palace, there were many halberds, and generals of all sizes came to the palace one after another, Ziqing was puzzled: "Is this - going on an expedition?" Haven't heard of Gentile infestation lately? ”
After entering the palace, the generals were busy with their deacons, and Ziqing hurriedly stopped one and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The general said: "Recently, a force has suddenly risen in the southwest, and this force is very strong, so I issued a war letter to fight to the death with my Nine Domains, and I heard that Banzai will go out in person."
"Hooray, this is a pro-conscription? Is there such a thing? Ziqing said.
After walking a few steps, I happened to meet Emperor Ming in military uniform, Ziqing visited Emperor Ming, and Emperor Ming saw Ziqing and said:
"Jin Yu listens to the order, now the demons and evil spirits are everywhere in the south, and they want to plot against my Han Dynasty, today I order you to be the general of the southern expedition, and follow me to encircle and suppress the demons!"
Ziqing raised his head and looked at Emperor Ming, who was in silver armor and iron armor immediately, and remembered that Master Ming and the others had just come out of the ice, didn't the most worrying thing still happen, and he still didn't give up in his heart, and asked again:
"Long live what the so-called demon is?"
"I recently received a thousand miles of Jiaozhou Taishou, saying that the rise of the Shui Dynasty in the southwest overnight may threaten the livelihood of my people in the Nine Domains, I didn't care, so I didn't mention it to you, how did I expect to receive a war letter from a group of demons in the south today. These people rose overnight and issued a war letter to provoke, isn't it evil or what? ”
As he spoke, he threw down a war book.
Ziqing's heart was suddenly cold when he took the battle book, at that time he and Mingyue desperately stopped Xiaozhong, what he was afraid of was that there would be such a day, how could he expect this day to come so suddenly.
Thinking about the power of the water tribe and not knowing how, he said:
"But, long live, knowing yourself and knowing that you are winning a hundred battles, the power of the southern demons has not yet been ascertained, you can't rashly attack them, in case we are hitting the stone with an egg......"
Emperor Ming pointed to the war book and said: "You have also seen the war book of Fang Cai, every word is aimed at me, although I am young, but I am also the king of a country, how can I tolerate the contempt of this demon."
Ziqing thought to herself: No wonder this expedition came so suddenly, it turned out to be the person who used the method of agitation and was so dangerous.
"Long live, dare to ask if Da Changqiu can be in the palace?"
What does this have to do with him? He was just taking a leave of absence, and his hometown was flooded and he went back to visit his family. ”
"I see, it seems that this Jinyan must have been lurking in the Han Palace for many years, and he knows the temperament of Emperor Ming, it seems that this war book also has his share of credit, and one day he will definitely slash this demon." Ziqing thought so.
But he still persuaded: "Long live you have always been far-sighted, this matter must not be simple, the minister still thinks that you must not act rashly, you should be fully prepared, the minister implores Your Majesty to think twice!" ”
But Emperor Ming was anxious and said: "Jin Yu! Now that my army of 300,000 in the Nine Domains is ready to go, those demons are just occupying one place, but they are snakes, insects, rats and ants, what is there to fear, the soldiers have not yet set out to fight, what you say is not to destroy your own prestige first! ”
Ziqing calmed down and thought about it: Since Xiaozhong can release the water tribe out of the ice, with his current strength, he may be able to match it, and said:
"Long live, calm your anger, the minister is willing to ask Long Live to take back his fate, and it will not be too late to find the general in the future and fight again!"
Emperor Ming lowered his body and looked at Ziqing for a while, and then said, "Ziqing, haven't you been looking for filial piety all these years?" Is there a result? ”
"Hooray, give me some more time."
"Some more time? That water tribe demon is ready to move, and has declared war on my Nine Domains, such humiliation, do we have to pin our hopes on someone who doesn't know when they will return? ”
"This ......"
"Jin Yu, I order you, take command immediately, and go out with me!"
Ziqing saw that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, so she had to respond: "Wow! ”
In this way, Emperor Ming and Ziqingshuai's 300,000 troops set off in Luoyang, Kyoto, and went straight to Jiuzhen County, Jiaozhou.
Along the way, Ziqing was always nervous, and approached Jiangnan, coinciding with the rainy season, and it was always misty and rainy for days.
The mountain road for a few days is fine, but it will still be on its own land, and it will be peaceful.
But Ziqing never left Emperor Ming by half an inch, and the personal guard Li Zhun held the hilt of the sword in his hand and tried his best.
However, the land south of the Yangtze River was not familiar, so Ziqing proposed that Emperor Ming and his guards take the waterway and dispatch the sailors to escort them, and the team of men and horses walked along the mountain roads.
Emperor Ming's chariot still remained in the brigade, so that even if the enemy came to assassinate, it also played a role in concealing people's eyes, who would have thought that Emperor Ming would separate and take the waterway.
Emperor Ming only thought that these two people were too nervous, and he didn't care, but felt that it was not bad to travel all the way to observe the people's feelings, and from time to time asked the two to relax, so they didn't have to be so nervous.
Ziqing and Li Zhun are all people who have experienced the battlefield, and they still dare not relax at all. In order to avoid people's eyes, Emperor Ming rode on a painting boat, and other guards also rode on a painting boat, which was different in size.
The team was led by Cao Gou and Cao Rong, and the Gongsun brothers and sisters insisted on following Ziqing, but Ziqing was afraid of changes, and the Gongsun brothers and sisters should report in time here.
It was a rainy day, Emperor Ming stood on the bow of the painting boat, thinking about the war, thinking about the strategic deployment planned by Gongsun Yi, although it was close and changeable, but after all, he could not come to the battlefield in person, what if there was a change.
While I was thinking about it, I saw an egret flying by, interrupting my thoughts.
The egret stood at the bow of the boat, walking with Emperor Ming for a while, Emperor Ming saw that the egret had snow-white feathers and a vigorous body, it should be a male, and he praised unconsciously:
"You heron, Fang Lan is actually physical, if you are born in a flock of egrets, you must be a leader's choice."
And although this egret is not afraid of life, but also dare not approach, so misty and rainy and when the egret comes, it is really picturesque, it is a painting boat, so I really don't know whether this way is a march or a play.
After a while, the egret flew away, and Emperor Ming felt sorry again, and was about to walk inside, when he turned around, he saw a fishing boat coming in the same direction as the painting boat.
A man on the fishing boat wears a hat that covers his face, and his long hair flutters, and the white silk on his bun sways in the wind.
Looking at the figure, he is a young man.
There was only one rod on the fishing boat, and the line hung on the river, and the sailors on Emperor Ming's boat also saw this man and tried to shake him off, but this man always followed not far away.
