Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Palace Changes
Qin Wu was stunned in his heart, what kind of situation could make this battle-hardened Tiger Army general say the word flee? And why? Why are there many guards on the periphery of the palace, but there is not a single guard standing guard in the center of the palace!?
If someone stood guard, Ma Dong would have been discovered a long time ago, and then taken to the doctor, where would it be Qin Wu's turn to look for someone here for help. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"General Ma, don't panic, I will protect you. Qin Wu first comforted him, and then asked, "What happened? Why did you become like this and no one came to save you? What about the guards in the palace? Where is General Xiang Hui now?"
Hearing the word Xiang Hui, Ma Dong's eyes immediately turned red, this iron-blooded man who would not shed tears even if he had a broken head, actually cried out in a hurry......
"General Xiang Hui, General Xiang Hui......" Ma Dong's emotions were extremely excited, and after choking for a long time, he finally cried out, "General Xiang Hui is dead!!"
"What!?" Qin Wu was a little stunned for a moment.
Ma Dong cried: "In order to protect us, in order to keep me out, General Xiang Hui himself died!!
"How could it be?!General Xiang Hui is so strong...... Who is the enemy?Where did the assassin come from!?" Qin Wu didn't have a clue about many things, and wanted to ask Ma Dong a little more clearly.
But just after Qin Wu said this, he realized that he might not have time to continue listening to Ma Dong's story......
Because on the way from Ma Dong, many people had already caught up, and they directly surrounded Qin Wu and Ma Dong, and the posture was obviously not good.
"It's them! It's them who killed General Xiang Hui and our brothers in the Tiger Army!" Ma Dong saw these people, and immediately turned his sadness into anger, and immediately roared.
"People can't be resurrected after death, General Ma mourns. Qin Wu said and protected Ma Dong behind him, and Ma Dong also used his last strength to prepare for a battle.
"Don't worry, I will protect you!" As he spoke, an imperceptible momentum like a mist began to emerge on Qin Wu's body......
"Come, there has been an unexpected shocking change in the palace, even Xiang Hui is ......" Qin Wu said silently as he faced the enemy.
What happened here before Qin Wu came? All of this has to start when Xiang Hui entered the palace this morning......
Time back to early in the morning, Emperor Huan Ling asked people to come to the order early in the morning to summon Xiang Hui and others into the palace, but Xiang Hui did not go immediately in order to wait for Qin Wu, but he waited for an hour and did not wait for Qin Wu, so he had to give up, after all, the eunuchs who came to give the order were in a hurry, this was summoned by the emperor's personal order, and I am afraid that only Xiang Hui dared to put the emperor aside and wait.
After that, Xiang Hui took Ma Dong and the Huben Army and other meritorious people to obey the summons of Emperor Huan Ling and entered the palace together. After they entered the palace, the tables for the banquet in the palace had already been placed on both sides of the palace, but even if the palace hall was large, it was impossible to sit more than a thousand people, and Xiang Hui also wondered why the emperor wanted him to bring everyone into the palace.
However, it didn't matter if the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army who were used as honor guards stood outside and waited, after all, this banquet had nothing to do with them, and Xiang Hui didn't think much about it, anyway, it was enough for himself and the dozens of soldiers who survived with Qin Wu to have a place to sit.
And Emperor Huan Ling didn't seem to blame Xiang Hui for being so late, and he was very tolerant of bringing straw mats and allowing the thousand tiger soldiers to sit on the ground, so that they could also watch the singing and dancing together.
"It seems that Aiqing is very busy, I thought Aiqing would not come. The fat-headed and big-eared Emperor Huan Ling said with a smile.
Emperor Huan Ling is usually pampered, eats and drinks well, and has not exercised much, so that when he laughs, the fat on his body trembles as if it is about to fall.
Xiang Hui arched his hand and said: "Weichen doesn't dare, because with so many people, he has to prepare for a long time, and ask His Majesty to punish him." ”
"Where, where, Aiqing is serious. Emperor Huan Ling shuddered and laughed.
"In the previous battle of Hezhongguan, Aiqing's tiger army fought bravely to kill the enemy, broke the enemy's treacherous plan, and repelled more than 300,000 troops. Emperor Huan Ling's eyes seemed to narrow into a slit, sweeping his gaze from everyone in the main hall.
"However, I heard that Aiqing recently got a new fierce general named Qin Wu, and this person can be said to have contributed a lot to the battle of Hezong Pass, it is he who led people to stick to the pass, with one enemy and ten thousand, I have been wanting to see it for a long time, I don't know which one Qin Wu is, maybe stand up and let me see?"
The tiger soldiers in the main hall glanced at each other, of course they knew who Qin Wu was, but Qin Wu was not here now, which made them extremely embarrassed, and they could only wait for Xiang Hui to answer.
Xiang Hui arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, although Qin Wu returned to Luoyang with Weichen, but there was a sudden emergency in the army, so I had to let Qin Wu rush back immediately to deal with it, so Qin Wu is not here today, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”
"Look at what you've done, can't you send someone else back to deal with it?" said Emperor Huan Ling unhappily. "The greatest hero did not come, what kind of system do you say, and who else will I reward?"
Emperor Huan Ling has heard that this Qin Wu can finish with one enemy, and it is likely that he is also a master of the Condensation Level, as for the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army who survived with Qin Wu, Emperor Huan Ling didn't care at all, they were just ordinary soldiers, and they were just lucky.
In the face of Emperor Huan Ling's reproach, Xiang Hui could only listen silently, if there was really something in the army, he would definitely send Ma Dong back and would not let Qin Wu go back, but the problem was that nothing happened at Hezong Pass, he was just cooperating with Qin Wu to lie, for this kind of bullying of the king, Xiang Hui really couldn't think of any better excuse, he still thought that if Emperor Huan Ling didn't mention it, he would fool the past, and then it would be a big deal to transfer the official seal or treasure to Qin Wu.
"Please also ask your Majesty's forgiveness. Xiang Hui arched his hand and said, and then pointed to the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army sitting in the main hall, "They are also warriors who fought bravely to kill the enemy in the battle of Hezong Pass, and each of them killed at least hundreds of enemies, and they also contributed to it." ”
"As for Qin Wu, Wechen also knows that His Majesty is thirsty for talent, and when the matter over there is completed, Wechen will definitely bring Qin Wu over and let him meet His Majesty, and it will not be too late to reward him in person. ”
Emperor Huan Ling couldn't help but smile in his heart.
But Emperor Huan Ling didn't show it, but said with a little meaning: "Okay, Aiqing wants to bring it to me......." ”
Then Emperor Huan Ling's voice changed and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, in addition to commending you in the battle of Hezong Pass today, there is also a great event to congratulate, so I will hold a banquet together today to celebrate." ”
With that, Emperor Huan Ling moved his fat body and straightened his sitting posture.
"Someone, the messenger of the witch kingdom is here!"
The little eunuch at the door immediately shouted: "The envoy of the Witch Kingdom is coming!"
