Section 33: Punishment
What a reckless man.
Looking at the emperor's peerless figure, Lao Tiantou silently gave the emperor a definition in his heart, and then began to subconsciously calculate how many people he arranged to completely solve the emperor.
Zhou Bofu on the side reminded him, and Tian Hongzheng came back to his senses and found that the emperor had gone away.
Without more hesitation, Tian Hongzheng shook his head and refused Zhou Bofu's eyes to follow the guards, and followed quickly with a light grip on the horse's belly.
Although Tian Hongzheng was suspected of patting the horse's ass before, the white horse under his crotch was indeed extraordinary, with slender limbs and a plump body.
Such a good horse will never appear in Bai Yujing's West Market, and Li Deyu's so-called seeing in the market is mostly a pretext used to give gifts.
Thinking of this, Tian Hongzheng couldn't help but shake his head. The emperor's nepotistic attitude was quite disdainful even for him, the native emperor of Wei Bo.
Where is there such a reason for employing people?
The emperor's camp tent is planned to stop or go, and the advance of the loyal army is about five miles away from the emperor's camp, and there are various troops belonging to the imperial court such as the dark cloud iron guard in the middle, and they are distributed like a net, and the emperor's camp is in the center of the net.
The emperor rode his horse and galloped all the way, and the guards behind him naturally followed, and the flag fluttered in the wind.
The surrounding Dayu officers and soldiers watched the emperor and his entourage move forward with curious eyes, and a few cheers came of thought of in the team from time to time.
For these direct forces of the imperial court, the last few battles have been very smooth, whether it is against the Tibetan army or against the rebels of the Shangyu auxiliary state, the court can easily win, which has built up their confidence.
This time the troops going north were not much, and the whole team was not long, Li Xu soon saw the banner of the dark cloud iron guard in front, the red flag was painted with three black cloud patterns, and one of the owl birds was fluttering its wings and soaring.
At this time, there was a hint of panic in this army, and the commander of the Loyal Army had just arrived with a small group of cavalry, chatting enthusiastically with the commanders of the Dark Cloud Iron Guard.
Su Che and Ma Qiang have been arguing for a long time, and Ma Qiang hopes that Su Che can take the dark cloud iron guard to take down the "petitioning people" who attacked the loyal army.
However, Su Che resolutely refused, he thought that since it was a contradiction between the Loyal and Righteous Army and that side, in the end, it was the Loyal and Righteous Army that would end it up by themselves, and it made no sense for the Loyal and Righteous Army to cause trouble and let the Emperor's Janissaries solve it, and use the Praetorian Guards to deal with the mob, which was really ridiculous.
"General Su, Su Shuai, please help, if our loyal army can understand this matter, then I won't trouble you to get old. "Ma Qiang is still grinding his dough there,
This wave of "petitioners" who demanded to face the saint were not mortals at all, let alone ordinary people.
They are the strongest, the bosses of the gangs, the leaders of the dart game, and the representatives of the families with local power and prestige.
The loyal army is not afraid of getting into trouble, but the chain reaction that caused the emperor is that they can't afford it, and they have to come out and stand on the street to endorse it.
"Your Majesty is here. ”
The clever officer who had already heard the news came, and Ma Qiang, who was still arguing on the side, quickly stopped the defense with Su Che, Ma Qiang gave Su Che a pitiful look, and the two went to greet the emperor together.
The dark cloud guards were all on the march, so Li Xu did not dismount, he rode on his horse and looked at the two generals below.
Needless to say, Su Che was wearing armor, but Ma Qiang, a thief, was wearing a brocade robe and a black veil on his head, which added to Li Xu's unhappiness.
It is no wonder that those "petitioners" were beaten up.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Tian Hongzheng, who was not far behind, also rushed over, Ma Qiang and Su Che were not fools, so they naturally guessed that this was Tian Hongzheng, the envoy of Wei Bojiedu, who was intercepted by the emperor.
"It's all here, let's talk about it, what's going on?"
The emperor opened his mouth to ask, and Ma Qiang immediately rushed to answer, he was not familiar with Su Che, he didn't know Su Che's character, for fear that Su Che would bring out something else.
"It's nothing, it's just that some Diao people shouted with guns and sticks, and their words were not inferior, and they clashed with our loyal and righteous army. ”
When it comes to the Loyal and Righteous Army, Ma Qiang is still a little unhappy, the more emphasis is placed on what is, the less there is, and the name of the Loyal and Righteous Army is actually confirmed that everyone is disloyal and unjust. However, it is true that he has been messing with Yufuguo, which has also become a scar in the heart of the big guy.
Because of this, the Diao people who demanded the face of the saint would not take the loyal army to heart, and they were even more unscrupulous, which finally caused the current situation.
It's just that none of this can be told to the emperor.
"Then what are you doing when you don't sit in the army and come to the dark cloud guard?"
Li Xu frowned, the emperor's anger made Ma Qiang a little frightened, the customization of the Yu army, even if it needed the help of the emperor's guards, only needed to send a subordinate officer such as Zhonglang to do the liaison in the future, and there was no reason for the lord of the army to leave his post easily.
Otherwise, if Ma Qiang came to the dark cloud iron guard for help, and Wei Chicheng went to face the saint to complain again, who should manage the huge loyal army?
Ma Qiang couldn't say anything during the period, but he secretly hated Su Che in his heart, if the copper-faced ghost was good at talking, he wouldn't have to block the emperor here.
"Your Majesty is angry, thinking that Ma Shuai is also in a hurry, and he made a mistake in his hurry. ”
Tian Hongzheng naturally has a heroic genealogy in his heart, and he has an account in his heart for these generals in the imperial court.
Li Xu didn't say much when he heard it, but just looked at Ma Qiang's eyes that glanced at Tian Hongzheng with a lot of gratitude.
"It's not something to be angry about. ”
The emperor let out a long sigh, it was expected that the loyal and righteous army would be so timid, if these people were really good candidates for the moment, how could they jump back and forth in such a daze, and easily belong to their own door.
It's just that the thought of having to take such a group of pig teammates to deal with so many enemies inside and outside is really disgusting to think about.
"Ma Qiang?"
"The end will be. ”
Hearing the emperor's summons, Ma Qiang's originally kneeling figure lowered a lot.
"What is the loss?"
"There were also dozens of people injured, and several military schools were ...... by mobs"
In any case, it is impossible for those heroes and powerhouses to have the ability to make the loyal and righteous army really suffer, but this loss of face is inevitable.
"What do you think is appropriate?"
"The last general thinks that these thieves are unruly, and it is better to kill one by one. ”
