Chapter 307: King Xingshi Qin
In less than a cup of tea, Zhao Zongquan was in front, Wei Chen was slightly half a step behind, and the two of them, under the guidance of the British soldiers, strode into the Chinese army tent in the western suburbs.
Dozens of paces away, the British justice stood behind a few short sides, staring at Zhao Zongquan and Wei Chen who had entered the camp, and there were dozens of heavily armored soldiers in the middle.
When he saw the position of Zhao Zongquan and Wei Chen, the British Duke couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his eyes showed surprise.
Although the British Duke and Wei Chen are different from each other in civil and military affairs, the two are both officials in Bianjing, and they still meet often when they are in the last dynasty, and Wei Chen's image and temperament are so outstanding among civil officials, and the British Duke naturally has a deep impression of Wei Chen.
Therefore, even though Wei Chen's face was covered with blood and mud at this time, and he looked very embarrassed, it didn't take much effort for the British Duke to recognize the young man in front of him, who was the little Wei Bachelor who was loved by His Majesty.
As for Zhao Zongquan, except for the time when he will return to Beijing to worship the heavens and ancestors, most of the time he has been staying in Yuzhou, which belongs to the small transparency of the court.
The British Duke stared at Zhao Zongquan's face for a long time, and then reluctantly matched the person in front of him with the Yuzhou regimental training envoy in his memory.
But then, the British Duke frowned deeply, and the doubt in his eyes became more and more intense.
It stands to reason that with Wei Chen's status in the court, plus the identity of the edict angel, how can he be in front of a small Yuzhou regiment training envoy, why did Wei Chen enter the account with a respectful look of Zhao Zongquan?
Could it be ......
Just when the British Duke looked at the two people in the tent and was in doubt, Wei Chen had already walked out with the blood edict and the tiger talisman, and said loudly: "Xiaguan Wei Chen, entrusted by His Majesty to be in danger, went out of the palace to transfer troops to the king, and now there is a blood edict and a tiger talisman here, please also ask the British Duke to take a look!" ”
The British duke's face suddenly became solemn, and he motioned to the soldiers beside him and said, "Submit it!" ”
The soldiers crossed the wall lined up by the heavily armored sergeants, took the blood edict and the tiger talisman from Wei Chen's hand, and respectfully placed them on the low table in front of the British duke.
Unfolding the blood edict, the eyes of the British Duke suddenly became sharp, his eyes stared at the content of the edict, looked at it carefully for a long time, and suddenly lost his voice and said: "Sure enough, it was written by His Majesty!" ”
The British Duke took a deep breath, took out the other half of the tiger talisman from his arms, and verified the authenticity of the tiger talisman brought by Wei Chen, and the two were also tightly matched, and it was really a tiger talisman that could no longer be real!
At this point, the British public no longer had any doubts in his heart, Huo Ran got up, dispersed the armor in the tent, walked quickly to Zhao Zongquan, pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, and bowed his head.
"Old minister Zhang Lie, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Zhao Zongquan took half a step forward, wanting to support the gray-haired British Duke with both hands: "Old Guogong, you are an elder, you don't have to be so polite, please get up quickly!" ”
"Don't waste your courtesy!"
However, the temper of the British Duke was very stubborn, and he bowed to Zhao Zongquan before slowly getting up with Zhao Zongquan's support.
Under the vicissitudes of the old man's white hair, there are traces left by the years, and the burly and majestic body of his youth has gradually become a little thin with the passage of time.
But as long as he stood there, his back was always straight, like a majestic mountain, which made everyone around him respect him from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhao Zongquan couldn't help but feel broken, looked at the British duke, and praised sincerely: "Old and strong, it is really the pillar of the country!" ”
Wei Chen urged on the side: "The rebels have entered the palace city, Your Majesty is in danger, and I ask the Duke of the Kingdom to send troops to quell the rebellion quickly!" ”
When the British Duke heard Wei Chen's words, he nodded heavily, and immediately ordered people to summon all the generals in the battalion, and began to transfer troops with the Tiger Talisman.
It's just that there are tens of thousands of troops in the battalion, and just gathering everyone together is not a small project, and it is not a moment's work to get ready and pull.
The British Duke immediately made a decision and ordered his fierce generals to command the Divine Guard Army to lead 3,000 elite soldiers in the Song Dynasty and rush to Bianjing to rescue the driver.
When the school field ordered troops, Zhao Zongquan incorporated Gu Tingye, Shen Congxing and others and his own cadres into the vanguard team.
The British prince didn't say much about this, although Zhao Zongquan is now the crown prince, his foundation is very shallow, and it is the right thing to find a way to promote his cronies.
However, when he saw Gu Tingye, the British Duke was still a little surprised.
I didn't expect that this sister-in-law of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion had such a close relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, and even became a brother-in-law.
Gu Yankai's old boy is really shit lucky, with the relationship between Gu Tingye and His Royal Highness the Prince, even if Gu Yankai is not there in the future, the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion can still be prominent.
On the stage, looking at Gu Tingye's heroic appearance in the distance, the British Duke couldn't help but feel infinite emotion in his heart.
At this time, the 3,000 light cavalry, which was the vanguard of the counterinsurgency, had been assembled, and under the leadership of Song Chaozhong, the commander of the Shenwei Army, they successively marched outside the camp.
In the marching procession, Wei Chen, who was wearing heavy armor, was walking side by side with Gu Tingye.
On the front side of Wei Chen's saddle, there are two four-edged iron slips, which are still shining with oil after maintenance, which belongs to the standard weapons in the army.
On the back of the saddle, there is also a bow bag, and the horn bow contained in it is Wei Chen's handy.
The size of this horn bow is not large, but the strength is enough to kill one stone and five buckets, far exceeding the nine-bucket war bow commonly used by the Zhou forbidden army, and it is well-made, which is a treasure given to Wei Chen by the British Duke before leaving.
Even Gu Tingye was quite envious of Wei Chen's treasure bow, he lifted the longbow from Wei Chen's bow bag, flicked the bow string, listened to the beautiful string sound, and asked casually: "Xingyun, before you pulled out, what did you and Song Du Commander Di Di say there?" ”
Wei Chen said: "It's nothing, it's just that I suggest that Song Du command the envoy to take a detour to the Xuanhua Gate in the south of the city to enter the city." ”
"South of the city, Xuanhua Gate?"
Gu Tingye's heart moved, and he looked up at Wei Chen: "Xiao Duan mentioned to me before, he met you in the south of the city. Could it be that there are still loyal ministers who have not rebelled in Xuanhuamen? ”
"King Yan has no king and no father, rebellious and reckless, except for a few stubborn people, how many people are really thieves?"
Wei Chen laughed and said: "Although the rebels are in control of all the city gates in Bianjing at the moment, as far as I know, the west city gate where Wu Mu personally sits is more difficult to bite. The rest of the city gates were just barely suppressed by Wu Mu's cronies.
At Xuanhua Gate, my eldest brother-in-law Yuan Wenshao was stationed. Although he is also monitored by Wu Mou's cronies, he has always been lenient in governing the army, and he is quite loved by the soldiers, and he was able to manage to secretly send me out of the city before. ”
"Great! Before, I was worried that Bianjing City was impregnable, and I was easily afraid that I would not be able to enter the city, but now that Brother Yuan is in charge, this high wall and deep fortress are no longer to be feared! ”
Gu Tingye's spirits were greatly lifted, and he said excitedly: "Without the city wall, the rebels are like chickens and dogs, and they will make contributions today!" ”
After speaking, he let out a long whistle, whipped his horse, and ran towards the front of the team, and by the way, he also took the treasure bow that Wei Chen had just arrived.
Seeing this, Wei Chen couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and immediately clamped the horse's belly with his legs and whipped to follow.
