Outside Chang'an City, accompanied by a group of civil and military generals, Hu Hai stood in the pergola, walked back and forth a few steps from time to time, looked at the east, and asked left and right with a little impatience: "How long will it take?"

Huang Banban fanned Hu Hai while comforting: "Your Majesty, don't worry, since the champion Hou sent a message saying that noon is coming, he will definitely arrive on time, and now there are two hours before noon, why don't you go to the city to rest for a while?"

Hu Hai glanced at Huang Banban, his impatient heart eased a little, and he said with deep meaning: "If you don't wait a little longer, how can you show my sincerity? If people think that I treat heroes slowly, won't it make the loyal ministers and righteous people in the world chill?"

A wry smile appeared on Huang Banban's face: "Champion Hou and His Majesty have known each other since childhood......

Without waiting for Huang Banban to finish speaking, Hu Hai's cold eyes immediately looked over, and he forcibly blocked back the words he was going to say next.

After almost two hours in an extremely delicate and strange atmosphere, a horse finally came and shouted: "Report, the champion Hou has led an army of 200,000 miles to a distance of thirty miles, and is about to arrive." ”

Hu Hai stood up violently, his face immediately showed excitement, and even a hint of flushing, and shouted: "Hundreds of officials listen to the order and prepare to welcome the return of the champion Hou." ”

He was called by Hu Hai early in the morning, and the wind blew here for a long time, and the hungry and thirsty officials reluctantly stood up and lined up behind Hu Hai.

It's just that the resentment in his eyes and heart can't be dissolved.

There are people with bad tempers, who directly put on a stinky face and show their dissatisfaction without concealment.

What's more, he muttered directly: "It's just a shaft, what kind of score do you put on?"

did not dare to express his dissatisfaction with Hu Hai, but pointed the object of resentment at Lin Ze.

When Hu Hai heard the civil official complaining, he just turned his head and glanced at it, but didn't say anything.

The civil official felt a little frightened at first, but then he was stunned, thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and his heart suddenly had a hint of joy, he felt that he had probably found a shortcut to please His Majesty.

A crisp sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded out of thin air, and then as if a domino had been opened, countless "da-da" horses' hooves mixed together and resounded throughout the suburbs of Chang'an.

This is echoed by the shaking of the earth.

This phenomenon lasted for dozens of breaths, and in Hu Hai's sight, a familiar figure finally appeared, riding a high-headed horse, taking the lead, galloping.

Behind that horseman, there were countless Qin troops in black armor, holding standard weapons, arranged into twenty neat phalanxes, moving quickly.

The soldiers of the Qin army, which were divided into twenty phalanxes, were not exactly the same, including cavalry, chariots, infantry and crossbowmen.

However, the phalanx of these different arms, the pace and rhythm, are surprisingly consistent, and a strong army momentum is rushing towards them.

With the strength of the Grandmaster Realm, Lin Ze saw Hu Hai and a group of Wenchen generals under the pergola from afar.

It's just that Lin Ze's face didn't have the slightest joy, but was slightly gloomy.

If Lin Ze remembered correctly, Hu Hai had sent a eunuch over to spread the word, saying that he would bring hundreds of civil and military officials out to meet him, but he flatly refused.

But Hu Hai still did it.

Excessive praise often has another term, which is called killing.

Lin Ze's eyes narrowed slightly, all kinds of thoughts came to his mind, and he made a decision.

I saw Lin Ze rub his fingers, and a trace of grandmaster's power appeared between his fingers, and with a slight pat, he sent it into the body of the horse under his crotch.

The horse, which was originally galloping, suddenly "radiant", suddenly doubled its galloping speed, and rushed forward.

The 200,000 troops behind Lin Ze watched his master general speed up and subconsciously followed.

As a result, the army, which originally only showed a menacing atmosphere, immediately became murderous.

Accelerated, accelerated, accelerated, and accelerated, and when the army was no more than a mile from the pergola, there was still no sign of slowing down.

Hu Hai, who was originally looking at the return of the army with a smile on his face, suddenly showed a reluctant look.

The civil and military officials behind Hu Hai are even more unbearable, they who have lived in Chang'an for a long time, how have they ever seen this kind of murderous aura brought down from the battlefield?

There are officials whose martial arts cultivation is not solid, and even the two forces are trembling, and they want to collapse.

400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters......

Lin Ze did not slow down when he was a hundred meters away from the pergola, and the army behind him was the same, and the palace guard who was responsible for guarding Hu Hai unconsciously touched the hilt of the sword on his waist with his right hand.

Extremely sensitive to danger, they already feel a little abnormal.

Lin Ze looked at Hu Hai, who was less than 100 meters away from him, with a calm face, Hu Hai squinted slightly, and forcibly looked back calmly.

Lin Ze was expressing his dissatisfaction after being calculated, and Hu Hai was also expressing his dissatisfaction with Lin Ze's actions.

Huang Companion, who felt the delicate atmosphere between the two, took a step forward and blocked in front of Hu Hai, with a hint of pleading on his face, and looked at Lin Ze.

Hu Hai's face changed suddenly, kicked it away, and scolded: "I don't know whether it's dead or alive, get out." ”

At this time, Lin Ze, who was less than ten meters away from Hu Hai, suddenly reined in his horse, forcibly stopped the crazy galloping horse, and then turned over and dismounted, bowed and saluted: "Minister Lin Ze greets Your Majesty." ”

Seeing that his main general stopped his horse, the 200,000 army also slowed down wildly, and finally at a distance of fifty meters from the pergola, the pace was fixed in unison, and he stopped completely still.

A gust of wind then emerged, blowing the pergola with a hunting sound and a puff of dust.

Hu Hai replied word by word: "Aiqing doesn't have to be polite. ”

Lin Ze immediately straightened up, and said in a loud voice: "The ministers are ordered by His Majesty to quell the rebellion, break the pseudo-Zhao in the north, break the pseudo-Chu in the south, and break the pseudo-Qi in the east." Because the time is still short, they cannot compete for full success, but the rebels are also frightened by the ministers, and the ministers ask themselves to live up to the king's expectations, and they come to obey the order. ”

The meaning of Lin Ze's words is obvious, you asked me to do the counterinsurgency, I did it, and I did it very well, and it has nothing to do with me if I didn't finish it, you asked me to come back, so the responsibility lies with you.

Hu Hai's originally tense face instantly unfolded, revealing a bright smile and said: "Aiqing's merits and hard work, I see it in my eyes, remember it in my heart, and I am deeply grateful, if everyone is as loyal and capable as Aiqing, why are some traitors afraid?"

The word "loyalty", Hu Hai deliberately accentuated his tone.

"Your Majesty praises, Weichen is terrified," Lin Ze's face showed a hint of panic at the right time, I can't afford this kind of praise from you.

Hu Hai boldly took a few steps forward, grabbed Lin Ze's arm with both hands, and said sincerely: "Aiqing is too humble, Qing is the minister of my humerus, and I have to rely on it a lot." ”

Lin Ze also said with a touched face: "Your Majesty values Weichen so much, how dare Weichen not serve his life?"

In terms of acting skills, Hu Hai's performance in front of Emperor Qin was taught by Lin Ze, who can be worse?

Hu Hai laughed and said: "Aiqing entered the city with me, I have prepared a banquet in the palace, Qing and I, if you are not drunk, you will not return." ”

After speaking, he wanted to pull Lin Ze into the city, but after pulling a few times, Lin Ze did not move.

Hu Hai couldn't help but be stunned: "Why didn't Qing leave, don't you think my sincerity is not enough?"

Lin Ze grinned and said, "No, Your Majesty seems to have forgotten that the 200,000 soldiers under Weichen who shed their blood for Great Qin." ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty to give an order, reward the army, and reward the meritorious soldiers. ”

Hu Hai's face showed a hint of abruptness: "It turns out that Aiqing is worried about this matter, and the matter of the reward is presided over by the Taiwei Mansion as a rule, and Aiqing is also the Taiwei Lieutenant, and this matter is also Aiqing's business." ”

Lin Ze nodded: "Since this is the case, please don't think that your majesty is acting on behalf of Wei Chen." ”

Immediately, without waiting for Hu Hai to respond, Lin Ze shouted behind Hu Hai: "What is the history of Su Nei? Hurry up and arrange the matter of rewarding the army, if there is the slightest negligence, this Hou will definitely impeach you in front of Your Majesty." ”

"The subordinate officials of the Taiwei Mansion supervise this matter, and if there is any dereliction of duty, they will be severely punished. ”

Then Lin Ze said to Hu Hai with a smile: "Your Majesty, the affairs of Weichen have been arranged, and you can enter the city with Your Majesty." ”

"Hehe" Hu Hai laughed dryly, pulled Lin Ze, and walked towards the city gate.

In the first meeting, there was no winner.
