Chapter 153: Natural Allies
Before Shen Lang arrived at the gate of the capital, he saw a group of fast horses coming over.
The first one was a man in his thirties, and when he saw the flag on Shen Lang's convoy, he immediately turned over and dismounted to the front of the car, and saluted: "Zhang Hongyu, the captain of the Praetorian Guard, has seen Shen Lang's son, and the last general was ordered to lead the son into the city!" ”
Shen Lang lifted the curtain and got out of the car, hugged his fists and said: "The general is polite, there is General Lao all the way." ”
Bringing Shen Lang into the city is just an ordinary job for Zhang Hongyu, but what he didn't expect was that Shen Lang would get out of the car and salute, which made Zhang Hongyu feel a little good about him.
Zhang Hongyu also smiled: "A few days ago, I received a letter from my son's talent, and I heard that he was going to enter the city today. The last general took people to wait at the gate of the city early in the morning, but he didn't wait for the son to come, and he was a little worried before he took the people out to see. Sure enough, I met Childe on the road. ”
Shen Lang showed a look of surprise on his face and said, "Didn't Senior Li send someone to inform you just now?" ”
"Senior Li?" Zhang Hongyu said curiously, "What Senior Li? ”
Shen Lang took Zhang Hongyu's hand, sighed, and said, "Forget it, it's just a trivial matter, don't mention it." ”
Zhang Hongyu frowned, Shen Lang's words revealed what was unpleasant just now.
He clenched his fists and said: "Shen Gongzi, please also say bluntly, although you have a meritorious reputation, you are not an official of the DPRK and China now, and strictly speaking, you should be a guest invited by Your Majesty." If anyone dares to offend, the last general will tell your majesty the truth! ”
Shen Lang shook his head and said, "It's all over, don't say right and wrong behind people, and ask Brother Zhang to lead the way." ”
Seeing that Shen Lang refused to speak, Zhang Hongyu frowned, but he didn't say anything, turned over and got on the horse and led the way with people in front.
However, he also had some thoughts, and brought the war horse close to the front cart. I saw that the person driving the car was a young man, less than thirty, full of qi and blood, and it seemed that he was also a martial artist who was not weak.
"Brother, what happened along the way? Why did I see Shen Gongzi's face unpleasant. Zhang Hongyu asked with his fists clenched.
Wan Hailiang was dressed in a cloth coat and wore a straw hat on his head.
Hearing Zhang Hongyu's question, Wan Hailiang looked him up and down, and then sighed: "Forget it, General Zhang, you can't afford to mess with him." ”
The more Zhang Hongyu listened, the more curious he became, and the more he listened, the more angry he became, and his face had completely sunk: "I am a forbidden military captain, although I am not a high-ranking official, but I am always directly under His Majesty, and there are indeed characters in the imperial city that I can't provoke, but there are really not many!" Before coming, His Majesty had instructed that Mr. Shen must be well received and that there must be no rudeness. Please also ask this friend to make it clear, otherwise I won't be able to explain it when I go back, brother! ”
Wan Hailiang's eyes were complicated, and he stopped talking for a while, and then sighed: "General Zhang, my young master originally didn't allow me to say it, but since you are like this...... That...... That's why I said......"
So Wan Hailiang told the story as it was.
mentioned that Yang Youqing and her daughters were seen watching the scene, and then Zhang Shao stopped the car, and when Guo Quanwu forcibly invited the female dependents to get out of the car, Zhang Hongyu's face was already murderous.
"A few gentlemen, they have not contributed to my Dongyun Kingdom, and they are arrogant and domineering on weekdays, but today they dare to be rude to Mr. Ziyu!" Zhang Hongyu gritted his teeth and said coldly, "I will tell Your Majesty about this matter and make these fools pay the price!" ”
Shen Lang was half-lying in the car with his eyes slightly closed.
Yang Youqing suddenly turned her head and said softly: "You don't care about Wan Hailiang?" ”
Wan Hailiang's voice over there was actually not big, but Liao Dongxue on the side of the carriage had already made preparations, and used a small Wenbao of low grade to transmit the voice over there.
"What does he do?" Shen Lang pursed the corners of his lips, "If a few gentlemen scold me and provoke me, it's all a trivial matter, but they dare to beat your idea, hum ......"
"Uncle vinegar tastes so good."
The green willow eyebrows smiled, saying that the vinegar taste was big, but the heart was sweet.
Yang Youqing glared at her: "It's getting bigger and smaller!" ”
Midori stuck out her tongue, but she wasn't really scared. It was Shen Lang who secretly pinched her calf, making her face red for a while.
Yang Youqing didn't pay attention to Shen Lang and Lu Liu's small movements, she thought about it and was still a little puzzled, and said, "Why is that Zhang Hongyu so excited?" It is said that you and him are not related to each other, and he is just ordered to pick us up, so there should be no need to offend those people. ”
Fang Fei smiled slightly and said, "Sister, do you know who the commander of the forbidden army is?" ”
Yang Youqing shook her head blankly, she had never cared much about these things, if it weren't for Shen Lang, she wouldn't even bother to think about these officialdom things.
Fang Fei slowly explained: "The commander of the forbidden army is called Fan Guiying, and he is a disciple of Mr. Zhuang Yongjie, the squire of the military department of the DPRK. Mr. Zhuang Yongjie has always been the main battle faction, and when the questions were written in this year's children's examination, the topic was 'Huai Zhan', and the poem written by Gongzi in Anping County was "Southern Expedition". This is also recognized as the poem that best fits Mr. Zhuang Yongjie's heart. ”
"There are also the twelve walled cities of the demon clan not long ago, no matter how criticized by the outside world, it is a real battle achievement, and it is also the most appetite for the main battle faction. To put it mildly, the forbidden army and the prince are naturally natural allies. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a soft noise in the carriage.
"Smack!"
Fang Feiqiao's face was flushed, her hands covered her buttocks, and she looked at Shen Lang with resentment.
"What did the son do to beat the slaves?"
Shen Lang said angrily: "What are you speculating about, we are just ordered to enter Beijing to meet Her Majesty the Empress, as for any other factions or disputes, it has nothing to do with us." ”
Fang Fei immediately realized after just a little thought, and bowed slightly and said softly: "What the son said is that the slave family is thinking nonsense. ”
On the way, Zhang Hongyu did not come to talk to Shen Lang again, and directly led Shen Lang and his party to the post station.
Shen Lang also has no real estate in the imperial city, and there are not a few items in this convoy, so the post station is the best choice.
After saying hello to Shen Lang, Zhang Hongyu immediately said goodbye, and he had to report what he heard to Her Majesty the Empress, as for how His Majesty would deal with it, it was not up to him to decide. However, judging from the empress's importance to Shen Lang, the "Peach Blossom Nunnery" enshrined in the temple, and the exploits of destroying the twelve walled cities this time, I am afraid that those few gentlemen in the capital will not be too happy.
This road is tiring, and he has experienced some things during the day, and Shen Lang is not in a hurry to let people go to Yaxing, anyway, there is more time in the capital after that, so there is no need to rush this night.
Early the next morning, as soon as it was dawn, a eunuch from the palace came.
Shen Lang didn't need to prepare anything, just the green clothes, and went out directly.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw that dozens of officials were already waiting outside.
Shen Lang just glanced at it, and was pleasantly surprised to find an acquaintance...... Liao Guangzheng!
Liao Guangzheng naturally saw Shen Lang a long time ago, and when he saw Shen Lang's gaze, he nodded with a smile, but he didn't come over.
Shen Lang also understood in his heart, and after nodding slightly, he restrained the joy on his face.
Just then, the palace doors opened.
"Go to court!"
The civil and military officials sorted out their clothes and walked into the palace gate one by one.
