Chapter 020: Enter Canghe City
Canghe City.
The gates were closed, and the walls were covered with many soldiers and archers.
When he arrived here, Yang Xin, who had spoken a lot of yin and yang along the way, couldn't help but close his mouth.
The other residents of Tongxiang Town were full of nervousness, and the entire Canghe City was just watching from a distance, and they could feel the solemn twilight on it, which made people feel that their hearts were suspended.
"They won't open the gates for us. Yang Xin said beside him.
"You haven't heard it all the way, it's more verbose than a long-tongued woman, can you stop for a while?" Ren Rou couldn't hold back her anger.
Yang Xin's face was flushed, and he was described as a long-tongued woman by the girl he liked, which was too much of a blow to his self-esteem.
You must know that he thinks very highly of himself, and in the future, he will enter the imperial capital through layers of screening to gain fame and become a literary champion admired by thousands of people.
"I'll see if I'll let him in. Yang Xin sneered, he had tried it a long time ago, but it was useless.
Swish!
Lu Qiu took out something and threw it directly on the city wall.
The soldiers on the city wall had long noticed a group of people outside the city, in fact, they all knew that they must be refugees affected by the war. However, there was an order from above, no matter whether the person who came was a refugee from the Xia Kingdom or not, no one was allowed to open the city gate.
Lest the Chiyan Kingdom call over at this time or there are spies from the Chiyan Country mixed among the refugees, since it is not easy to find out the details, then none of them are allowed to enter.
The piece fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
A soldier picked it up, and it turned out to be a token with the royal logo on it, and the soldier hurriedly took the token to report.
Soon, the gates opened.
A large number of soldiers poured out of it, each armed with spears, in a long line.
"You see I'm not wrong, I shouldn't have come to Canghe City at all, maybe we will be treated as spies of the Chiyan Country. Yang Xin's face turned pale with fright, where had he seen such a big battle last time.
But the soldiers on the city wall told him to hurry away, otherwise he would be executed according to the spies.
Now this group of soldiers poured out directly with weapons, and it was too late to leave.
"Shut up!" Ren Rou was angry again, why didn't she find Yang Xin so annoying before.
In fact, Ren Rou's heart was also panicked, she hadn't even left Tongxiang Town, and of course she had never seen the soldiers rush out with a murderous aura, forming two teams as if they were surrounding them.
The black-robed Lu Qiu in the corner of his eyes was still riding on a horse, his face calm.
Perhaps the peace in his body can infect others, and the panic in Ren Rou's heart has also calmed down.
Bang ......
In the city, two men strode forward, followed by a group of guards.
The two people who walked in the front, one wore armor and a sword at his waist, and the other was dressed in some luxury.
"This is Qian Chi, the city lord of Canghe City, and Xu Ming, the general of the border army of Canghe Town. Someone recognized the identities of the two people and said in surprise.
Under the terrified gaze of the residents of Tongxiang Town, Qian Chi and Xu Ming walked to Lu Qiu's horse and knelt down at the same time.
"Qian Chi, the city lord of Canghe City, see His Royal Highness the Regent. ”
"Xu Ming, the general of the border army in Canghe Town, see His Royal Highness the Regent. ”
The coup d'état in the imperial capital has long been spread to Canghe City, although it is facing the danger of being destroyed.
Qian Chi and Xu Ming were observing the young man on the horse, but they didn't expect this regent to be so young, and they couldn't help but be suspicious.
But remembering the token, the two dispelled their doubts again.
Before Lu Qiu set off from the imperial capital, Su Chanyi sent an edict as the empress of the royal family, and there would be royal reinforcements rushing to Canghe City to help defend the city together.
If it weren't for this edict, Qian Chidu would have wanted to persuade Xu Ming to abandon the city and flee.
In terms of military strength, Min He City and Luoyan City, which were destroyed and defeated by the Chiyan Kingdom, are both on top of Canghe City.
Even Min Hecheng and Luoyan City couldn't withstand the ferocious forces of the Chiyan Kingdom, and how could Canghe City do it.
His Royal Highness the Regent?
The residents of Tongxiang Town, including Ren Rou and Yang Xin, didn't understand where the regent of the Xia Kingdom came from, but they understood what the prince meant.
"See His Royal Highness the Regent!"
All the Canghe City soldiers who came out of the city knelt down.
Cold sweat surged from Yang Xin's pores in an instant, and he had a good impression of Lu Qiu because of his sour Ren Rou along the way, and he couldn't stop being weird. But I didn't expect that this black-robed young man named Lu Qiu turned out to be the regent!
handles political affairs on behalf of the monarch, so he is called the regent, but he is a proper person with real power, how can he provoke it?
Yang Xin hid in the crowd with a vague movement, but fortunately, no matter how much he said, he never entered Lu Qiu's eyes, otherwise he would have been unlucky.
It turns out that he is the regent!
Ren Roumei's eyes are even more brilliant, no wonder she can have such a demeanor.
"Why do refugees come to Canghe City for refuge, and the city gate is not opened, but they have to be driven away?" Lu Qiu asked condescendingly.
"This ......" Qian Chi, the city lord of Canghe City, glanced at Xu Ming beside him, and said with a sneer: "Your Highness, we are afraid that the Chiyan Kingdom will be too cunning, and use the refugees to let us open the city gate, and then break through it in one fell swoop." We are also thinking about the Xia Kingdom, and we hope that His Highness can understand. ”
"Nonsense. Xu Ming gave his hand to the side, not revealing face at all: "Obviously, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, Canghe City has a wide field of vision, even if it is a disguised refugee from the Chiyan Country, we can close the city gate in time." Several times I tried to open the city gates, but you tried to stop me!"
"Ground Rank Master. Lu Qiu chuckled twice.
His Highness smiled. Qian Chi, who was kneeling on the ground, wiped his forehead, smiling on the surface, but in his heart he was already greeting Xu Ming's eighteenth generation ancestor, who was really a dead donkey, and sold him at such a time.
Bang!
Lu Qiu slapped through the air in the direction of Qian Chi.
Black gas gushed out in the palm of his hand, turning into a slap that was as clear as black jade.
Qian Chi subconsciously urged the Yuan Force in his body to try to block, but the black jade-like slap directly pierced the Yuan Force and landed in his chest.
"Poof—"
Qian Chi, who was kneeling on the ground, slid backwards violently, his knees and calves rubbed the ground, and the flesh cracked, and then flew upside down and hit the city gate.
Qian Chi was shocked, he couldn't even stop the regent's casual palm.
They only knew that there was a coup d'état in the imperial capital, the emperor abdicated, and the empress Su Chanyi and the regent Lu Qiu took the throne.
The regent will come to Canghe City in person for the war of the Xia Kingdom.
Now that Qian Chi and Xu Ming have come to their senses, no wonder Lu Qiu can become the regent of the Xia Kingdom, and his strength is at least in the top three in the Xia Kingdom!
"Please condemn your sin. ”
Qian Chi adjusted his body, knelt on the ground and said with a mouth full of blood.
"When the war is pacified, it is natural to settle accounts. Lu Qiu's expression was like a cooling late autumn, and he took the lead in riding into the city.
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
Qian Chi's head was buried deeper, his heart was like ashes but there was no way, he, the city lord, was probably sitting at the end.
