7. Dragon City is in sight
After walking for three days, Murong Bao and his entourage finally arrived at the southern suburbs of Longcheng, and saw the tall city wall from afar, everyone cheered, and they had been wandering outside for more than a month, not eating and sleeping well, and finally guarding the clouds and fog, and the imperial city was in sight.
Murong Bao couldn't help but burst into tears, and he had a feeling of being a human being again. His father's concubine Duan Yuan once opposed making him the crown prince, saying that he was handsome but indecisive, and could only be the son of peace, but he was not a hero in troubled times, and if he handed over the country to him, he would be cut off sooner or later. Fortunately, the wise father did not listen to this woman, and his position as the crown prince was in danger, and he finally survived until his father died of illness and succeeded to the throne smoothly. After becoming the emperor, the first thing he did was to send someone to force Concubine Duan Yuan to commit suicide, this woman said before she died: "You even want to kill your stepmother, you are so narrow-minded, An can protect the society, I am not afraid of death, I am afraid that the country will soon be destroyed in your hands, see what face you have to go underground to see your father and emperor." ”
Before, he had never taken Duan Yuanfei's words to heart, but during the escape, whenever he thought of Duan Yuanfei's last words, it was like a needle piercing his heart, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably, could he really be an unangry waste as that hateful woman said? Is the Murong family's country really going to be destroyed in his own hands? God is pitiful, this rebellion has finally subsided, Longcheng is in sight, he secretly swears that as long as he survives this catastrophe, he will give advice widely, recruit talents, make great efforts, revitalize the emperor, and restore the prosperity of Dayan, he wants to let the world know that he Murong Bao is definitely not an incompetent emperor!
Ten miles away from the city, Murong Bao saw a group of people waiting for him, hundreds of cavalry, all riding high-headed horses, led by Lan Khan's younger brother Lan Ganan. Murong Bao saw that Lan Khan did not come, nor did he see the emperor's special yellow cover, and an ominous cloud rose in his heart, it stands to reason that Lan Khan should come to greet him in person, and the emperor's honor guard is also indispensable, and now this frame is all in plain sight. He immediately turned the horse's head, and the ministers also saw that something was wrong, and they all wanted to turn around and want to run south, but they were stopped by Su Chao and his seven or eight subordinates, Su Chao shook the spear in his hand, and said in a strange manner: "Lan Shangshu sent someone to take over, how can Your Majesty turn the horse's head?" ”
Yu Chong said loudly: "Su Chao, what are you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom is here, you are rude!" ”
Su Chao did not take back the spear, rode on the horse and smiled, and said: "The minister just took His Majesty back to Luan, and there is no disrespect, and he also asked His Majesty to return to Longcheng." "It's a beautiful word, but it's still in the way.
Murong Bao didn't say a word, drew his sword and rushed towards Su Chao, and his own soldiers and entourage also drew their swords and rushed forward. Su Chao and the others were defeated and retreated one after another, but at this time, hundreds of cavalry quickly surrounded them from both sides, stirring up dust in the sky and surrounding everyone. Seeing this, Yu Chong said anxiously: "Your Majesty, be careful, Lan Khan may have bad intentions." ”
At this moment, the fool also knew that the big thing was not good, Murong Bao glanced at Yu Chong, and secretly scolded in his heart If you hadn't gone to those homeless people, saying that Dang Khan didn't have a backlash, how could I have fallen to such a point! But he completely forgot that he was desperate to return to Dragon City at that time. He threw down the sword in his hand and sighed: "I regret that I shouldn't have listened to the words of Daoyun, at this moment, you and I are still resigned to fate." He turned his horse's head and walked toward the gate. Everyone looked at each other, and they all reluctantly put away their swords and followed behind Murong Bao, falling uneasy.
Seeing Lan Gan, Murong Bao hid the nervousness in his heart, pointed to the iron horses around him, and asked calmly, "Lan Gan, what are you doing here?" ”
Lan Ganan did not answer his question, turned over and dismounted, kowtowed, and said, "On the orders of Lan Shangshu, I am here to greet Your Majesty." ”
Murong Bao saw that he was quite decent in terms of etiquette, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, and he didn't dare to care about the iron horses around him, so he said, "The general has worked hard, no courtesy." Then he walked forward, thronged by the heavy iron riders. At first, Murong Baojun and his ministers tried to get together, but after a while, Langaan's cavalry continued to squeeze between them, and soon separated the crowd, so that everyone was surrounded by three or four cavalrymen. Closer and closer to the city wall, you can clearly see the three big characters of "Jubao Gate" hanging on the city gate tower, the city gate is wide open, you can see that the city is crowded with people to greet him, they let out a warm and excited cheer, "Long live" The sound is endless, resounding in the sky. Murong Bao's confidence has increased greatly, his eyes are a little moist, the Great Yan Kingdom still has the hearts of the people, and he Murong Bao still has the hearts of the people! Riding on the horse, he straightened his waist, as long as he entered the city, he believed that with his Murong Bao's charm and prestige, with a wave of his hand, whether it was the ordinary people with bare hands or the soldiers with weapons in their hands, they would definitely support him, and there would be no need to be afraid of the hundreds of cavalry in Langayan.
Later, when you see your subjects after a long absence, what do you want to say? It must be both cordial and calm, so that the soldiers and soldiers can admire and the people admire.
