Chapter 19: Entering the Palace
At this time, it was only three miles away from the city gate, and the city gate guards did not react, which showed that it had been controlled.
"Your Highness, there is still half an hour before the city gate is opened, if we wait under the city tower, it will be too dangerous!" Su Mo, who has been on the battlefield all year round, feels that this is too dangerous, and if someone attacks, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.
"The Fuyang Royal Mansion is at the end of the road, they don't have any extra manpower to ambush!" These are all laid out in advance by them.
"Lord Wang, some people are coming!" At this time, the people outside the city have begun to come to the city gate one after another.
"The vegetable farmers are already preparing to enter the city!" Siping explained. Vegetable farmers are generally the first to arrive at the city gates.
"Then we will wait with the people!" Li Jing just stood quietly.
The vegetable farmer, who was the first to reach the gate of the city, saw the people covered in blood in front of him, and he screamed in astonishment, alarming the other people behind him, so that the people behind them began to walk forward quickly, wanting to know what had happened;
The moon was unusually bright this morning, so even though the torches had been burned, the people could clearly see a group of people standing in front of them, full of murderous aura.
"It's a person or a ghost in front, Ah Niu, aren't you bold, go and see!" An old man put down the dishes in the basket and pushed the man who was called Ah Niu.
"Yes, yes, go check it out!" The people next to him also whispered
"Ahead, are you humans or ghosts?" Ah Niu took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to shout and pulled his throat.
Everyone was a distance away and couldn't see their faces clearly, but the early morning wind still blew a pungent smell of blood, and everyone was even more scared!
"I am the fourth son of His Majesty, Li Jing, for various reasons, waiting here for the city gate to open!" Li Jing raised his voice and answered the question just now.
"Fourth Highness, isn't he His Highness, can't he let the soldiers guarding the city open the city gate?" A child asked the elder next to him in a low voice.
"There is a time for the city gate to be opened and closed, except for the military report, the city gate must not be opened at will under any circumstances!" The elder patiently explained.
"It's okay, it's okay, that's Your Highness!" Ah Niu wiped the sweat from his forehead with palpitations.
"But, Your Highness, are they injured?" The child also smelled it, and it was obvious that there was a bloody smell.
The elder hurriedly covered Xiao'er's mouth and shook his head at him:
The affairs of dignitaries and dignitaries, where is their turn to discuss, and the four highnesses are willing to reply to their words It is already a great gift!
The two groups waited quietly for the gate to open, but there was still a long distance between them.
Fuyang Palace
"Why hasn't there been news back at this hour?" Zhang Liu couldn't sit still in the room anymore, and kept walking back and forth.
"It seems that it was a failure!" Yang Guangyou held the handle of the chair tightly, he knew that it might be this kind of ending, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"You'er, send Huai'er away!" The king of Fuyang also knew that he was powerless to return to heaven, so they could only wait for death.
"Yes, Father!" Yang Guangyou took a deep breath, stepped out of the study, and went to arrange the follow-up matters.
The sky is getting brighter, and today it seems to be brighter than ever! It was still a gray sky at this time before!
The people behind them saw more clearly that the reason why the smell of blood was so heavy was not only because they were injured, but also because the car was full of entities afterwards, probably because it had been stopped for too long, and the ground was already dripping with blood, which looked extraordinarily oozing.
"Open the gates!" The moment the city gate opened, the soldiers guarding the city inside shouted, this was to prevent the soldiers in the city from seeing the people outside the city, for fear of opening the door and hurting the people by mistake, so they specially shouted a reminder.
The soldiers who opened the city gate saw dozens of people in bloody clothes standing in front of them, and for a while they didn't know what the situation was, so they could only ask instinctively:
"Who are you, and why are you covered in blood!"
"Presumptuous, this is the Fourth Highness, how can you be presumptuous!" Admiral Su Mo's momentum came out at once, and the soldiers were so shocked that they didn't dare to speak.
"Participate in the Fourth Highness, and please ask the Fourth Highness to enter the city for treatment as soon as possible!" The little soldier behind him saw Li Jing's injuries very insightfully, and quickly got out of the way.
"Your Highness!" Because he stood for too long and the whole person was in a tense state, the blood in Li Jing's shoulder blades never stopped, and it kept oozing blood intermittently.
"It's okay, we need to get to the palace before the next dynasty!" It's still half an hour's drive from the palace, and they're going to hurry!
"I'll get you a carriage!" Siping saw that His Royal Highness now had a bloodless face, and he was really worried that he would fall down at any time.
"No, everyone is injured, they can go, and so can this king!" Li Jing did not agree.
"Your Highness, many of us can't enter the palace, and you'll have to rely on yourself later!" Su Mo pressed His Royal Highness, many people's ranks could not enter the palace, they could only guard at the palace gate.
"Yes, Your Highness, you still need to take care, you can only rely on yourself later!" The crowd behind him all persuaded.
"Everyone, this king is one step ahead!" Li Jing took Su Mo and began to drive towards the palace.
The people behind him were all following not far away, only knowing that something big was going to happen, but they did not dare to approach; Everyone was discussing in a whisper, what are you going to do with such a big battle today?
Because the carriage was running fast, and there were no pedestrians on the street because it was too early, a tea ran to it in half an hour.
"Fourth Highness, what are you going to do?" The guards at the gate of the palace saw Li Jing getting out of the carriage in embarrassment, and they really didn't know what he was going to do?
"Your wounded ......" The guards felt that even if they were no longer favored, they were His Majesty's sons, and they still had to deal with their injuries.
Li Jing ignored him and walked straight to Dengwengu, followed by Su Mo and Siping behind him.
"Your Highness, the end of the future!" Where is the Dengwen drum standing at the gate of the palace, His Royal Highness has already put on the shoulder armor, and it is no longer suitable for hard work.
"The king will come in person!" Li Jing walked towards the Dengwen drum step by step, in the previous life, he did not beat the drum, and finally used the most extreme way to wash away the grievances of his grandfather, the grandfather should prefer to prove himself in this way!
Li Jing picked up the drumstick, beat the drum heavily, and with each beat, the blood from the shoulder blade was constantly seeping, and in the third stroke, the blood had even dripped to the ground; Li Jing just knocked on and on until the propagandists appeared!
"Fourth Highness, Your Majesty has announced that you have entered the palace!" The little eunuch trotted over, and when he saw Li Jing, he was also stunned, he didn't expect to be so embarrassed.
"Fourth Highness, it's cold in the morning, let's find you a cloak!" The little eunuch didn't really want him to go to see His Majesty like this.
Li Jing never gave a color, and took Su Mo and Siping and started to walk inside!
