Chapter 9: The Wolf Comes

Horseback riding is not allowed in Chang'an City and the Nine Cities, only the forbidden army has the permission to ride horses, and other than that, horseback riding is allowed in emergency military situations. If you ride a horse in the city at will, you will be imprisoned for a month, or tortured to have your hands and feet removed.

Therefore, October took Liu Chu to walk horses outside the city.

"Why?"

The little fat man Tong Botao was not idle, he strongly asked to come out, and he insisted on asking for a horse, otherwise October and Liu Chu both had horses to ride, but he didn't, obviously too boring.

But this horse, no matter how you look at it, does not look like a horse, but, a donkey.

"Are you embarrassed? You ride a horse, I ride a donkey?" Tong Botao folded his arms in front of his chest, glanced at the short guy beside him, and expressed strong protest.

"Donkey, who said yours is a donkey?" said October.

"Don't tell me it's a horse, I can still tell the difference between a donkey and a horse!" Tong Botao said angrily.

"It's a mule!" October shook his head, it's terrible to be uneducated.

Tong Botao opened his mouth wide and was completely petrified.

Liu Chu almost laughed.

"Good horse, let's go!" Liu Chu turned over and got on the horse, and as soon as he raised the reins, the red-blooded dragon horse suddenly rushed forward, almost throwing Liu Chu off the horse.

"I'll go, it's a bit fast!" Liu Chu was surprised, the speed of the red-blooded dragon foal was ridiculously fast, and it really couldn't be regarded as a horse, but a class of alien beasts.

At this speed, it is really not a problem to travel thousands of miles a day!

You must know that the average daily travel efficiency of a good horse is between two or three hundred kilometers, and it is really powerful to travel thousands of miles a day.

Among the nine countries, the horses of Yan are the best, which is located in the grassland area, rich in good horses, and the average daily distance of horses in Yan can reach more than 400 kilometers.

Great Wei's horses are slightly second, ranking second among the nine kingdoms, and they are the only ones who can compete with Yan State.

As soon as Liu Chu turned around, October had already been left far behind, and as for the little fat man Tong Botao, he couldn't see his shadow at all.

This horse, with energy!

Before the Great Wei Dynasty was still Chen Guo, post stations were set up every fifty miles, and now it has become a post station every thirty miles, and there is one outside Xing'an City thirty miles to the east.

The person in the red sunset couldn't open his eyes, and a man and a rider appeared on the horizon with a long tail shadow, and when they reached the gate of the military post, the man flew down directly from the horse, the kind that was not stable because the horse suddenly slowed down, and fell directly on the ground and ate.

The officers and soldiers at the gate of the post did not smile when they saw this, but ran over with a serious face, because this person was obviously physically exhausted, and the officers and soldiers of the post had just squatted down to check the man's physical condition, and the horse on the side suddenly fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth.

How long has it been going around the clock?

"From Bingzhou?" The officer and soldier of the post recognized the mark on the iron hooves of the horse, and understood in an instant, this soldier should have rushed over from Bingzhou, in order to convey the emergency military information, he did not care about changing horses at various post stations, but took a shortcut at the shortest distance, otherwise with the setting of a post in the thirty miles of Dawei, it would be impossible to run the horse like this.

The military posts are all set up on the flat official road, which is destined not to be a straight line, there will be many twists and turns, and the line between the two points is the shortest.

How urgent is this?

"Brother, you have a good rest, leave it to me. The officers and soldiers of the post received the information from the soldiers of Bingzhou, gave a military salute, and immediately prepared their horses and rushed to the imperial city of Chang'an.

The soldiers seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, their slightly stiff bodies softened, and they were carried to bed to rest, and the horses were well cared for.

Liu Chu, who was riding back on horseback and was about to turn back to find October and the little fat man Tong Botao, suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

"Urgent military situation, please avoid! Urgent military situation, please avoid!"

A man shouted behind him, and Liu Chu immediately pulled the reins, causing the red-blooded dragon horse to run aside and get out of the way.

"Urgent military intelligence?"

Liu Chu frowned slightly, since the incident sixteen years ago, the nine countries have developed peacefully for sixteen years, of course, there can be no war at all in these sixteen years, but it is also a small-scale friction, at most, the two sides pull out the army, and then the two main generals will learn from each other, and then withdraw the troops, to put it bluntly, it is "training and learning".

This time, there was an emergency military situation, which seemed to send some kind of signal.

Emperor Wei is in the Nine Poles Hall to approve the folds, the Nine Poles Hall is 16 years ago newly added, nine is the number of extremes, "Emperor" is the extreme, enough to see the ambition and courage of Emperor Wei.

The Nine Poles Hall is Emperor Wei's private small study, and few people can come in here, except for some close ministers, that is, Wei Infinity, the general manager who is responsible for taking care of Emperor Wei, can always be here, but most of the time he is waiting outside the door.

Some people say that Emperor Wei's illness is actually faked, but Emperor Wei vomited blood in front of the courtiers several times, so most people still believe that our majesty is seriously ill.

Emperor Wei Chen Fengxian looked at the fold in his hand, very helpless, it is estimated that no one would have thought that one-third of the fold was talking some.

For example, Ye Liang, the head of the Rongzhi Mansion in Qingzhou, wrote a small essay on his performance, which described how beautiful the autumn scenery in the south was, how hard the peasants worked during the busy autumn harvest season, and asked His Majesty the Emperor if he wanted to eat the rice he had planted with his own hands.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the recitals must be some major events, such as natural disasters on one side, plagues on one side, or something like that.

Another example is Xu Huaichen, the pastor of Yangzhou Prefecture, there is only one sentence on the fold, which is a greeting, "How is my emperor doing recently?"

This Xu Huaichen is a genius, otherwise Emperor Wei would not have put him in such an important position as the state pastor, the state pastor is equivalent to the great history of the feudal territory, the emperor is far away, and he is the boss there.

In addition to being very outstanding in ability, this Xu Huaichen also has one point, that is, he is very good at patting sycophants, and the key is that people feel that they are not pretentious at all.

Almost everyone in the world knows that Emperor Wei is sick, and his health has not been very good, and he has not recovered, at least in the eyes of outsiders, but Xu Huaichen still wants to ask if his health is good, isn't this a sore spot?

But Emperor Wei was not angry at all, because Xu Huaichen was a clear-eyed person, and with such a smart person to help him protect a state, Emperor Wei was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Is Emperor Wei really seriously ill?

The answer is yes, but it's not as serious as the outside world thinks, it's just a stubborn disease that can't be eliminated, Emperor Wei doesn't bother to explain, the outside world misunderstands it, he can also take advantage of this to get rid of some unstable factors, and see if anyone will hit him, the "sick emperor", with their ideas.

Emperor Wei's most serious illness is still heart disease, in the past 16 years, the Great Wei is really a withered talent, and if it goes on like this for no more than ten years, the talent strength of the other eight countries will catch up with the Great Wei.

The future of a country is definitely in the young people with ideals, ambitions and abilities, and such young talents are a strong foundation for the future of a country.

It is just that there are no outstanding young generals among the generals, and even on the Wenchen side, there are few decent young people who can be promoted, which is really a sad phenomenon.

The dean of the Linglu Academy is a native of Wei, but every time he presents awards to the top ten outstanding young people at the graduation ceremony, they are all presented to people from other countries, and there is no one from Wei, how aggrieved is this? Emperor Wei also felt aggrieved, this is simply a joke, but he really has no choice but to hope that he can find good talents among the grasslands.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wei wrote a reply, "Everything is fine, but the heart disease is difficult to heal." ”

After writing the reply, Emperor Wei frowned again, thought for a moment, picked up a blank piece of paper, pondered for a while, and wrote down two words, which were a person's name.

Mu Qing.

In addition to the heart disease of withering talents, Emperor Wei also has another heart disease, that is, Mu Qing, Emperor Wei believes that Mu Qing will not do anything sorry for Wei, but he also believes that Mu Qing will one day do something sorry for the royal family!

"Wei Unlimited. Emperor Wei shouted.

At this time, it was close to evening, Wei Wuli at the door stood all day, his body was a little tired, he unconsciously squinted his eyes and dozed off, he hadn't had a good rest for nearly six years, and he stayed at the door of the Nine Poles Hall almost every day.

Since Emperor Wei was ill, he should have had a good rest, but he hid in the Jiuji Hall every day, as if his time was running out, hoping to govern the country completely as soon as possible, and I heard that Emperor Wei intended to let the eldest prince assist the government, I don't know if it is true or not.

Hearing Emperor Wei's shout, Wei Wuxing suddenly returned to his senses, and immediately gently pushed the door and walked in.

"The minions are here. ”

"Send this to Lu Zhengxuan. ”

"The minions obeyed. ”

Wei Wuyin lowered his head and stepped forward to take the paper that was only the thickness of his fingers when rolled up, and gently withdrew from the Nine Extremes Hall.

He did not do so, but ran to the prison himself.

After following Emperor Wei for so many years, if Wei Infinity was not smart enough, he would have been unable to sit in the position of the chief manager for a long time.

Emperor Wei said, "Send this" to Lu Zhengxuan, instead of "ordering someone" to send it to Lu Zhengxuan, but the difference between the two words reveals too much.

If it is a "person", it means that Wei Infinity can just find one of his subordinates to send it, but Emperor Wei said that it is "take this", which means that this thing is very important, and Wei Infinity has to send it himself.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the emperor's mind is not so easy to speculate, and people who have no brains really can't sit firmly in this position.

The prison is one of the six departments, in charge of judicial trials, and has the function of supervising hundreds of officials, so the prison is the most undesirable part of all court officials, and the people in the prison are always lonely, and they have no friends.

After Lu Zhengxuan received the paper passed by Wei Infinity, he looked at the content on the paper and was stunned for a long time, is this going to be a big move?

After seeing Wei Infinite leave, Lu Zhengxuan began to speculate in his heart about what our majesty was going to do, although there was only one name on the paper, but he who knew Emperor Wei understood the complexity of the matter, Emperor Wei should not mean to thoroughly investigate Mu Qing, but to keep an eye on him and the people around him.

"Your Majesty, it's delivered. "Wei Infinity is back to his life.

Emperor Wei nodded, waved his hand to signal Wei Infinity to retreat, Wei Infinity bowed and retreated, carefully closing the door.

"Huh?" Emperor Wei frowned slightly, because Wei Wuxing had just withdrawn, and then he shouted again.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation. ”

"Bring someone in. Emperor Wei commanded outside the door.

Wei Infinity walked in with the officers and soldiers of the military post, and when the officers and soldiers saw Emperor Wei, they first kowtowed, and then took out the letterhead on their bodies and handed it to Wei Infinity, who trotted forward and handed it to Emperor Wei.

Emperor Wei unfolded the letterhead, which was densely filled with words, Emperor Wei read the content of the letter expressionlessly, and sat there expressionlessly holding the letter for a moment.

A moment later, Emperor Wei first sighed, and then laughed again, sly like a victorious old fox.

Emperor Wei put down the letter paper and whispered, "The wolf is coming." ”

In Eastern Xinjiang, 100,000 werewolf cavalry Koubian, the first-line border pass of Eastern Xinjiang and the state is in an emergency!
