Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Chen heard the news from the palace, eight hundred miles were urgent, and Qinghai was in danger.

In the afternoon, he was summoned to the palace, took the overseer token given by the emperor, drained the Zhuangxing wine in the cup, and ran out of the city and ran to the pass.

Maybe someone noticed, maybe no one noticed, and one more person appeared in the team.

One evening, the crowd ran through the city and had to stay in the forest to save time. Lu Chen and a few people have been running outside all year round, and they are familiar with this, some people hunt and some people burn fires.

Lu Tong whispered to Lu Chen, who was resting his eyes next to him, while burning the fire: "Childe, this Lord Lu is very determined. ”

Lu Chen opened his eyes and glanced at Lu Yiyuan, who was sitting cross-legged next to him, and replied, "If you can't even endure this little hardship, I won't take him out this time." ”

The faces of the people in the firelight were bright or dark, but Lu Tong could still see that Lu Yiyuan was holding on, and answered in a low voice: "He is a scholar, it may be an exaggeration to say that he is powerless, but it is definitely not comparable to us." I've been a little tired from the road for the past two days, and I feel like I haven't been running like this for a long time. ”

Lu Chen closed his eyes and hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Feng Shui in the Forbidden City cultivates people, I think you have been lazy in the capital recently." ”

Lu Tong looked at Lu Chen's handsome face under the flickering firelight and muttered: Who can compare with Gongzi, it is also a long-distance travel, and Gongzi can still wake up at sunrise every day to practice martial arts. Could it be that Childe's body is beaten with iron?

Lu Chen shook his head slightly, ignoring his seemingly complaining self-talk.

Isn't it Lu Yiyuan, the former governor of Jingjiang Embankment, who was sitting cross-legged next to him, it turned out that Lu Chen came out this time not only with the people around him, but also asked the emperor to come out.

Lu Yiyuan is indeed not like Lu Chen, he has never practiced martial arts, and he has been pampered by officials all the year round, and he has been riding fast for three days in a row, he is now sore, and he can barely maintain his sitting posture, all supported by the big tree behind him, but even so, he didn't say a word to stop and rest.

When he was on the way, he had already heard Lu Tong talk about the situation this time. He knew that Lu Chenken was willing to take him out and take him to the front line of the war, which was not only a challenge, but also an opportunity. It was his chance to make a difference.

Even if he didn't have experience in fighting, presumably Lu Chen, plus Guanzhong Tieqi and General Zhao Huan, would not need to quell the chaos by himself. Having such an opportunity to learn about a war throughout the whole process is even more beneficial to him. The governance and reconstruction after quelling the chaos should be a good time for oneself to display one's ambitions and make contributions.

Lu Yiyuan is grateful, even if Lu Chen let him suffer in prison for a few months and let his twenty-year officialdom career fail, he is still grateful.

Seeing that Lu Chen, as a son of a family, was young and did not complain at all along the way, this alone was enough to admire himself.

The night breeze blows, taking away the scorching heat of the day, and also makes it rare for hard-working passers-by to rest comfortably for the night.

Sigh...... Everyone grabbed the reins of the horse, and the war horse under the crotch did not stop the speed of rushing forward for a while, and kept stepping on the yellow sand on the ground anxiously on the spot, and it took a long time to stand up panting.

Looking at the gray city wall in front of him, even Lu Chen's face showed a brief smile. After five days and five nights, they finally arrived at the Guanzhong Iron Cavalry Barracks.

Lu Tongce immediately stepped forward to shout, and the chief on duty at the head of the wall leaked his head from the middle of the city wall, and only after asking for identity and checking the token did he order someone to open the city gate and let everyone enter the city.

The prefect on duty was enthusiastic and simple, tall, with a rough face and blush on his cheeks, and introduced to everyone while walking with a northwest accent, "Lord Lu came from afar to work hard, I am Deng Qi, the guard of the city gate, our Guanzhong Iron Cavalry is named after the name of the place where it is stationed, this place is called Guanzhong City, but the people in the city are less than other states and counties, one is that this place is located in the northwest and the environment is harsh, and those who can go out to beg for a life have moved south or east, and the rest are not wanting to go or can't go, and the second is that this is a garrison and a front line, and the north is against Wara, The Western Imperial Turks are a battleground for soldiers, and it is really dangerous, so those who can stay in the city have some strength, and they are begging for a living on the tip of a knife. When there is a real war, the girl can pick up a firewood knife and cut people. ”

Lu Chen has a very good impression of this gatekeeper, this northwest man is simple and optimistic, he seems to be able to see the wind and sand he has blown from his face, but he is confident and self-reliant, his official words are lame, but when he sees the official messenger from the capital, he still enthusiastically introduces him, even if he is just a gatekeeper, he is also serious and responsible, and he is not sloppy at all. "General Deng is a local, I think the people in the city are comfortable and peaceful, but they have their own rules, is the iron cavalry stationed in the city?"

Deng Qi smiled and leaked a mouthful of white teeth and said: "Yes, my father and mother are from Guanzhong, and so is my daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law opened an early shop in the city, which is harder, but with my money, my life is enough, and the family is in the city, so it is more convenient to take care of my parents." ”

Lu Tong looked at Deng Qi's smiling face, and was also infected by him, and answered, "Brother Deng, don't look at the difficult conditions, you are quite happy in this little life." ”

"What is happy or unhappy, anyway, there is food to eat, clothes to wear, and a daughter-in-law who takes care of the family." After speaking, he seemed to feel that he had said too much, and Deng Qi felt a little embarrassed, hehe Yile.

Lu Chen remembered the days when he used to study and argue with His Majesty the Emperor of Yu at that time and the current Emperor of Yu. Yes, the people don't ask for much, but they are fed and clothed. In the Book of Rites, it is said that the journey of the avenue is also, the world is for the public, the selection of talents and abilities, the belief and harmony, so that people do not only kiss their relatives, do not only have sons and sons, so that the old have the end, the strong have use, the young have growth, the widows, the lonely and the sick are all supported; Men have a share, women have a home, the goods are evil and they don't have to hide in themselves, and the evil ones don't have to come out of the body and don't have to be for themselves.

After a few words, a government office appeared in everyone's sight. The five words of the General's Mansion on the door plate are domineering and majestic, and the two stone lions stand left and right, which is even more solemn and majestic.

Deng Qi said to Lu Chen: "This is General Zhao Chong's mansion, Lord Lu wait, I'll report." ”

After a while, several sturdy men came out of the door, the leader of whom was covered with a thin black armor, holding a sword in his right hand and half a tiger talisman in his left hand, and stood still in front of Lu Chen and a few others.

The man at the head saluted Lu Chen with his fists in his fists, "Presumably this is Lord Lu Chen, Zhao Chong, the lower official, I don't know that Lord Lu has come from afar, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Lu Chen looked at the man in front of him, about thirty years old, with a rough complexion like Deng Qi, eight feet tall, his eyes were bright, his movements and stillness were his own rules, his breathing was short and powerful, and he was obviously a master of a generation.

"General Zhao, Jiu Yang, please check the tiger talisman first."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhao Chongcai's face was slightly softened, and he took Lu Chen's half of the tiger talisman and the one in his hand, and only after making sure that there was no problem did he show a slightly stiff smile and said: "Lord Lu, forgive me, leading troops outside is different from you high-ranking officials in the capital, it is possible to lose your head if you are not careful, it is always right to be cautious." Ladies and gentlemen, please"

Lu Chen instantly felt the hostility in Zhao Chong's words, but he didn't say anything, only nodded and saluted: "General Zhao acted rigorously, Lu Chen admired." ”

The General's Mansion Meeting Room.

Lu Chen stood at the top of the list, took the Ming Huang Holy Decree from Lu Tong's hand and said to Zhao Chong: "Hussar General Zhao Chong listens to the order. ”。

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Qinghai is in an emergency, the hussar general Zhao Chong is the general of the hussars to aid the Qing hussars, and the 50,000 Guanzhong iron cavalry will go to Qinghai to quell the chaos on the same day.

Zhao Chong took the holy decree with both hands and said, "Minister, receive the decree." ”
