"General Hu, because I sell cattle and sheep and other livestock all year round, I have been to Chang'an City several times, so I am very familiar with this road.

There are still five or six miles ahead, and we will arrive at Xingping County.

And along the official road all the way forward, but only a hundred and ten miles away, you can reach Chang'an City. ”

Faced with Hu Biao's inquiry, Liu Yi, a livestock dealer who was regarded as a guide along the way, immediately answered loudly in his mouth.

It's just that after hearing this answer, Hu Biao's brows couldn't help frowning.

The reason for Hu Biao to be like this is actually quite simple to say, because today's time is already the afternoon of February 15 in the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty.

There are only thirty hours left, and the deadline for the first phase of the mission is left.

Regarding such a point, he was not so worried, because as long as they speed up a little, it would not be a problem to arrive in Chang'an tomorrow.

The real problem is that for some reason, the eyelids of his left and right eyes are jumping all the time.

As the old saying goes, what does it mean for the left eye to jump for wealth, the right eye for disaster, and then both eyes to jump together? I didn't say the old saying.

However, Hu Biao always felt that something important was about to happen, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad, which inexplicably made him a little uneasy.

Fortunately, this one happened quickly, allowing Hu Biao to let go of the suspicions in his heart.

Or rather, it's too late to think too much.

When they were still two or three miles away from the county seat of Xingping, they saw dozens of horses galloping towards this side.

After getting closer, Hu Biao raised the telescope to take a look.

You can see that the first person is white-faced and beardless, wearing a yellow shirt.

The knights behind him were also tall, and the armor on their bodies was also extremely shiny, which was much more elite and glamorous than the Tang Army seen in the Great Earthquake Pass and along the way.

After seeing such a scene, Hu Biao's heart couldn't help but move, and he vaguely guessed that this should be the envoy sent by the emperor.

Sure enough, after the messenger was about ten steps away from Hu Biao and the others, and hurriedly grabbed the war horse, he shouted out a sentence in his mouth:

"The person who came is Guo Xin, the king of Wuwei County and the envoy of the Four Towns, and the envoy under Guo Shuai."

"It's just me waiting." After hearing this, Hu Biao immediately replied like this.

After the messenger heard Hu Biao's promise, he still had a foul expression, didn't say much at all, and opened his mouth with a sentence: "Kneel down quickly and accept the order." ”

Although it is a bit for Hu Biao and others to kneel down in the Great Song Dynasty for such eunuchs, the old birds of the team who are in power are very unhappy.

But they also know the importance of things, and they know that now is still the time to develop in a low-key manner.

But in an instant, they dismounted and knelt on the ground; And the same is true of the rangers and ordinary people who are traveling with them, and they kneel down a large area.

When everyone knelt down, the eunuch took a yellow decree in his mouth and recited it aloud: "Under the door, the foundation of the world......"

In the holy decree that was read out in a shrill voice, ignoring the eunuch, there were many words that were like chewing words.

Here's what it looks like:

After knowing the news that the Tang Anxi Army had not yet been destroyed in the Western Regions and was still holding on, the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the entire Chang'an City was very happy

Even everyone wanted to know some of the latest news about the Western Regions and the Anxi Army in the first time.

Therefore, in order to commend the merits of the Anxi Army, His Majesty the Emperor specially asked people to erect a high platform outside the city.

The first is to welcome the envoy of the Anxi Army in such an ultra-standard way.

Second, outside the Kaiyuan Gate, His Majesty the Emperor intends to play against them, and let the people of Chang'an City know how difficult and difficult it has been for our Tang Anxi Army to be in the Western Regions all these years.

Therefore, tomorrow morning, that is, before 9 o'clock in the morning, we must rush to the Kaiyuan Gate of Chang'an City......

******

One point that needs to be explained is that Hu Biao and others have been in the customs since they entered the customs.

No matter what others asked, they just said that they had important military information and that they would report it to His Majesty in person.

But what other Qiuzi City fell, Guo Shuai and the old soldiers died in battle, and the entire Anxi Army was left with the situation of these people, but they didn't say anything about it.

The reason why this is so is that they think that only by talking about it in front of the emperor can they cause the greatest shock.

Under the violent mood fluctuations of the emperor and the court bigwigs, the benefits that can be exchanged for this should also be more.

Therefore, after hearing that they were going to play against the emperor in front of the people of Chang'an tomorrow, Hu Biao and the others were suddenly overjoyed, and they had a wonderful feeling of drowsiness, and someone actually sent a pillow.

In addition, there is a kind of inexplicable great joy in my heart that is about to enter Chang'an City, a city that has haunted them countless times.

Immediately, under the leadership of the eunuch who passed the decree and the elite troops who should be the Tang Dynasty Shence Army, they rushed all the way to Chang'an City.

After letting go of the horses, they arrived at about nine o'clock in the evening and came to the edge of Weishui and began to camp temporarily.

Because this place is only thirty miles away from Chang'an City.

Therefore, if you leave early tomorrow morning, you don't have to worry about not being able to get to the gate within the time specified by the holy decree.

Just before I went to sleep, I saw the Wei River next to the camp, which was full of all kinds of garbage and daily necessities floating on the water, as well as the smelly river water.

and the bare willow trees by the river, the hearts of many netizens were inexplicably 'groan~'.

Because such a scene has appeared in their minds countless times.

In the past, when Guo Shuai, Zhang Teamzheng, Niu Cripple and others set off from Chang'an to the Western Regions.

After crossing the Baqiao, the send-off people broke off a bunch of willow branches and pinned them to their chests one by one on the edge of Weishui, representing a beautiful picture of their good wishes, which is very different.

Fortunately, such a point is just one of their countless beautiful fantasies about Chang'an.

There are more beautiful expectations, waiting for them to witness them one by one; So they suppressed such a disappointment, and after eating some dry food, they went to bed early.

After recuperating their spirits, they plan to show off their Anxi Army's demeanor tomorrow......

Early in the morning of the second day, after everyone got up, they naturally had no intention of changing into new clothes and armor; Just that messy, but iron-blooded appearance continued to set off.

After a short time, I came to the legendary Baqiao.

This is a porous stone bridge, which has a history of more than 200 years since it was built in the Sui Dynasty.

When the horse's hooves hit the bridge deck full of years, an indescribable sense of heaviness immediately came to the face; The only problem was that the stench of the river was really too great.

Hu Biao, who wanted to chant a poem, gave up directly after spitting a big mouthful.

After waiting for the early eight o'clock, a group of netizens finally saw the legendary city wall of Chang'an City in front of their eyes.

Sure enough, it is the same as the depiction that Hu Biao and others have seen in the data; It is about 13.7 kilometers long from north to south and 7.5 kilometers wide from east to west, and the walls are 12 meters high and 4.5 meters thick, with a total circumference of 36 kilometers.

It is truly the most majestic city in the world at present.

It's just that when Hu Biao and the others couldn't help it, they picked up the telescope and looked at the city wall, relying on the strengthening of the telescope, they were able to faintly see some of the broken places on the city wall.

It seems that such an empire does not even have the money and food to repair the capital.

Suddenly, when they first saw Weishui yesterday, such an inexplicable emotion became more and more intense in their hearts.

But soon they didn't care about that; Because they saw that outside the Kaiyuan Gate, they saw a makeshift high platform.

On the high platform, a figure wearing a bright yellow dragon robe stood on it alone.

And under the high platform, there were a large number of important officials of the court wearing purple robes, as well as soldiers of the Shence Army with shining armor.

Farther away, there are dense crowds of people, who want to come to see the lively people of Chang'an City; Boy! That's called a sea of people, I'm afraid there are as many as 120,000 people.

Seeing this, Hu Biao and the others took a deep breath.

Because they know whether they will be punished for killing Wu Duwei, and what kind of reward they can get, whether they will eat meat or drink soup in the future.

Everything depends on their performance in the next time when they play against His Majesty the Emperor Li Chun......
