Although it was summoned by His Majesty Emperor Shenwu by name, Ling Ye and his party did not receive any special welcome. The Imperial Army guarding the South Gate is quite numerous, and passers-by are being strictly checked. Although there were 200 people blocked outside the south gate, the soldiers guarding the gate still looked like they were doing business, searching and checking passers-by. Forget it, the old man, after a few so-so touches, if it is a young and beautiful girl and a young woman, it will inevitably suffer once.

The centurion of the Xiao Cavalry Army urged his horse forward and shouted: "I am Wang Fuchun of the third battalion of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and I am ordered to escort this group of guests to receive His Majesty's summons. Hurry up and let us pass!"

The soldiers guarding the gate obviously didn't buy his account, and their eyes widened: "Stand back! Everyone is queuing, no one can be an exception!"

Ling Ye listened to it in his ears, and he already understood a little bit in his heart. The three major battalions in the imperial capital, the soldiers guarding the city gate obviously do not belong to the Xiaocai battalion, as for which battalion, Ling Ye didn't know for a while, what he could guess was that this group of soldiers and the Xiaocai battalion did not deal with each other.

That Wang Fuchun didn't let in the slightest, and his eyes were also glaring: "Lao Tzu is on order! This is the person Your Majesty wants to summon, if you make a mistake, I see how many heads you have!"

The soldier guarding the gate smiled: "I'm sorry, we are also on orders! If we let any suspicious people enter the city, we will not be able to protect our heads! Listen, go back!"

Wang Fuchun's face was swollen with purple and he shouted: "I haven't seen you so diligent in the past!

A group of soldiers from the cavalry battalion shouted: "Rush in directly! Grandma's bear, we were originally the army defending the imperial capital, but now we don't even let in the door! Then how can we protect Your Majesty?!"

Among the soldiers defending the city, a man who also looked like a centurion blew the whistle a few times, and a large group of soldiers immediately rushed over and lined up in formation to block the city gate. The centurion shouted: "You have the ability to rush! openly attack the gate of the imperial capital, do you want to rebel!"

Wang Fuchun pulled out his waist knife, slashed a few times in the air, and shouted: "If you stop His Majesty's pro-army from entering the city, you are rebelling!"

The ordinary people who were waiting to enter and exit at the gate of the city immediately scattered and fled when they saw this posture. Looking at this posture, the soldiers of the three major battalions of the imperial capital are afraid that they fight a lot on weekdays, and they don't hurt the people. Therefore, when the people saw that this situation was not right, they hurriedly ran away, for fear of being affected again.

Ling Ye sat on the horse and looked at all this coldly in front of him, as if it was none of his business. Lin Yuannan whispered in the back: "The three major battalions of the imperial capital have always been submissive to anyone, and there are indeed many fights on weekdays. However, looking at today's situation, I am afraid that something has happened in the imperial capital, so it is particularly martial law. ”

Ling Ye said lightly: "Let's fight! Anyway, we just stand by and watch." It's none of our business. ”

Lin Yuannan smiled and said, "It's all the emperor's pro-army, guess why they are fighting?"

Ling Ye said lightly: "I don't know, I can only guess, either I think that the other party is more favored by the emperor and is more generously treated, or there are different factions, so I don't like the other party in any way." ”

Lin Yuannan was surprised: "Brother Ling, have you ever been to the imperial capital before?" 118

Ling Ye shook his head and said lightly: "Although I don't know the specific situation, what I said belongs to the universal guidelines. ”

He paused, and then said, "Have you ever seen a group of dogs? They may be together in the sun, they may be in peace with each other, and they may even bite each other's lice." But as soon as someone drops a fleshy bone between them, then they immediately jump up and scramble for it. This is the nature of dogs, and it can't be changed. ”

Lin Yuannan nodded again and again: "Yes." The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change!"

When a group of cavalry battalions and soldiers guarding the gate were fighting each other angrily, the horses' hooves in the city were ringing, and a group of several people hurriedly urged the horses to gallop, and the leader shouted: "Everyone calm down! Don't be rude, if you have something to say!"

Look, there was a middle-aged man dressed as a civilian official, followed by two soldiers from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion who had gone in to report the news before, as well as a few people from the entourage and the like. The civil official panted and shouted, "Everyone is the one who defends the imperial capital for His Majesty, what can't be discussed!"

Wang Fuchun saw that there were steps to go down, so he snorted, first put away the waist knife, and said: "For the sake of Lord Zhao of the Ministry of Rites, this time I don't have the same knowledge as you!

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion behind him all folded their stances. Obviously, they really wanted to show their prestige in front of this group of soldiers who were not on good terms with them, and even the movements of putting away their posture were quite neat, clean and beautiful, and did not drag the mud and water at all.

Not to be outdone, the soldiers defending the city on the other side were not to be outdone. The centurion blew his whistle and gave the order, and the soldiers also folded their stances in unison, turned to the left and right in a neat manner, and trotted neatly into the gate hole.

The fight can't be fought, but the stance can't be lost!

In front of the city gate, there were two centurions standing opposite each other, staring at each other. Lord Zhao of the Ministry of Rites urged the horse to come over and clasped his fists to the two centurions as a salute: "Everyone is angry!" It's only spring, and the weather is still a little cold, so it's not so angry. This chief king has returned from thousands of miles, and he is in the dust, and he does not know it. As for Chief Liu, it is indeed the duty of guarding the door, and he cannot be negligent. Just be considerate of each other, haha. ”

The two centurions were still staring at each other, neither of them willing to budge first. That Lord Zhao continued to play a round game: "Chief Wang has returned thousands of miles, and I don't know what happened in the imperial capital today, which is understandable. Sir Liu, they are indeed the people His Majesty wants to summon, please raise your noble hand and let them enter the city!"

The centurion surnamed Liu snorted and took two steps to the side: "For Lord Zhao's sake, let's go in!"

Wang Fuchun snorted, and took the lead. The crowd followed through the door.

Ling Ye rode on his horse and slowly entered the door. Of course, this horse is not his, it is a post horse, after all, it will take several months to come to the imperial capital on foot. The good horses in this post must be used by the messengers who deliver official documents, and what can be given to them are some bad horses, thin and weak, without authority.

When he passed by the centurion surnamed Liu, the man glared at Ling Ye and spat on the ground: "Who am I, it turned out to be a group of hillbillies!"

Ling Ye immediately reined in his horse and looked at him sideways: "I'm sorry, what did you just say?"
