Chapter 57: Take the initiative to ask for help
Wang Xuan and his entourage went down the mountain, without hesitation for a moment, they rushed directly to the East Protector Imperial City, Qin Tian After this year's cultivation, he was no longer the powerless scholar back then, so he didn't need to rest, the three of them were very fast, and they could already see the East Protector Imperial City from a distance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info They have also slowed down, in this capital city dominated by the people, it is better not to do light work.
They marched towards the East Protector Imperial City, while a large number of ordinary people left the East Protector Imperial City with their luggage, which looked a bit like fleeing. Qin Tian was a little puzzled, and he said to Wang Xuan and the others: "How can these people seem to be fleeing? The Eastern Imperial City is the most prosperous place among the four cities. How could they leave?"
"Let's find someone to ask. Zhao Xue suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement, and Wang Xuan felt that something big was about to happen.
At this time, an old man happened to pass by with his granddaughter, and Zhao Xue stepped forward and asked, "Hello, uncle, I want to ask, why did you leave the East Protector Imperial City?
"It's going to change, now the Nanxi Imperial City has taken control of the main city, the emperor is being held hostage, I'm afraid it won't take long for the North Imperial City to surrender, the city lord of the East Imperial City is a loyal person, he will never surrender, I am afraid that it will attract the joint slaughter of the three cities, the city lord has posted an announcement, let the people leave first, if after the war, the East Imperial City is still there, welcome everyone back." It's a pity, old man, that I can't fight the rebels with the lord of the city. The old man briefly introduced the situation of the imperial court to Wang Xuan and them, Wang Xuan and the others were shocked when they heard it, Qin Tian was the most touched, the place where he lived since he was a child was about to face the danger of being slaughtered.
Wang Xuan said to the old man: "Old man, you leave first, we will not let their conspiracy succeed, and the city lord will definitely take you back then." Wang Xuan was already planning to meddle in this matter, although he didn't like court battles, but he decided to do his part for the sake of these people.
The old man looked at Wang Xuan and the others, a little skeptical, but also grateful, he didn't believe that Wang Xuan and the three of them could change the current one-sided situation, but he still admired the courage of these hot-blooded young men.
Wang Xuan said goodbye to the old man and said to Qin Tian: "Let's hurry to the East Imperial City, learn more about the situation, and take measures as soon as possible." Qin Tian nodded and followed Wang Xuan towards the city.
Soon they arrived at the gate of the city, which was heavily guarded on both sides, and a notice was posted at the gate: "Only allowed to go out, not to enter." Looking at this announcement, Wang Xuan couldn't help but say, "It seems that the situation is quite serious, how should we get in?"
"Come with me" Qin Tian took out a token from his arms, walked to the soldiers guarding the city gate, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, please." β
Qin Tian took Wang Xuan and others into the East Protector Imperial City, and rushed directly to the Qin Mansion, now the avenue has lost its former prosperity, Wang Xuan came to the East Protector Imperial City twice, once prosperous, this time the depression declined, and the people still need to leave their hometowns, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, which strengthened his determination to help the emperor quell the chaos.
Soon arrived at the Qin Mansion, the guards at the door saw Qin Tian clasping his fists and saluting, Qin Tian entered the mansion, and when he arrived in the hall, he saw a middle-aged woman, who was his mother, he quickened his pace and said, "Mother, the child is back." β
When Qin's mother saw Qin Tian, her eyes filled with tears and she said, "Xiaotian, you're finally back." Qin Tian stepped forward and grabbed Qin's mother tightly, looked at her mother's temples, which already had a little gray hair, and then introduced to Qin's mother: "Mother, Xiao Xuan and my friend Xiao Xue from the academy. Why didn't you see my father?"
Qin Mu wiped her tears, smiled and said, "Let you see and laugh." Wang Xuan and Zhao Xue also returned the salute. Mother Qin continued: "Your father went to the City Lord's Mansion, and after you come back, go directly." Now the situation is a bit of a crisis, you should hurry over, it is important to quell the rebellion. β
Qin Tian knew that now was a special period, he had to focus on the overall situation, bid farewell to Qin's mother, and rushed to the City Lord's Mansion of the East Imperial City with Wang Xuan, obviously the City Lord's Mansion had already been arranged, Qin Tian and the others were not hindered in any way, and were directly taken to the hall. There are dozens of people in the hall, among them is Qin Tian's father, the helmsman of the Zhongyi League, and in the middle is a middle-aged man, this man, with dark skin and strong body, exudes a general demeanor, and there are several people on both sides, which should be the core figures of the East Protector Imperial City. At this time, Father Qin and the others also saw Qin Tian and the three of them, his tightly knit brows finally stretched a little, he got up and motioned to Qin Tian and the others to come in, as soon as they entered the hall, Father Qin introduced: "Everyone, this is the dog below, and the other two are friends of the dog." β
Qin Tian, Wang Xuan and Zhao Xue saluted to everyone, after all, all the elders here, Wang Xuan also specially said hello to Zhao Duo, the helm of the Loyal and Righteous Alliance, because of Xiao Yu's relationship, Zhao Duo was also very enthusiastic about Wang Xuan.
The East City Lord said: "The hero is a young man, I heard that Xiao Tian has entered the Indisputable Academy, are these two also your fellow brothers?"
Qin Tian said: "Yes, this is Wang Xuan" Qin Tian pointed at Wang Xuan and said, then pointed at Zhao Xue and said: "This is Zhao Xue girl, their strength is very strong, far surpassing me." β
The East City Lord said with a smile: "Haha, it seems that we are all old, and this young generation has also grown up, you can also listen to the current situation with us, and see if there are any good plans." Wang Xuan and the others nodded.
At this time, a man who looked like a military advisor continued to tell about the current situation, but the general situation was the same as what the old man they met on the road said, but this military advisor spoke in more detail, and he also analyzed the battle situation by the way, pointing out that it is the top priority to strive for a union with the Northern Protector Imperial City, otherwise they will face the attack of the three major forces at the same time, and the masters in the Southern Protector Imperial City are like clouds, they may not be able to resist, although the Loyalty Alliance has a lot of strength, but they have been guarding against the sneak attack of the other two major forces, and they have no time to separate.
After the military advisor had explained everything, the city lord said, "Do you have any good plans? β
Zhao Duo Master of the Loyal and Righteous League said: "We will no longer send people to Beicheng to persuade the city lord, although the first few times have no effect, if we don't hurry up, I'm afraid that Beicheng will unite with the two cities of Nanxi sooner or later, and then our situation may be even more difficult." β
"But we have sent out several batches, and they have either killed them or taken them captive, and I am afraid that it will be useless to send them out again. The city lord said helplessly.
Father Qin got up and said, "They are too arrogant, if I go tomorrow, I don't believe they dare to kill me." β
"Wanjin, don't be impulsive, you can't have any surprises. An old man with white hair said.
At this time, Wang Xuan stood up and said, "The junior has something to say, but I don't knowγγγγγγ Before Wang Xuan could finish speaking, the city lord said, "It's okay, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it." Wang Xuan continued: "The junior just heard from you about the current situation, and the junior wants to ask about the situation of the city lord of the Northern Imperial City, is there any person or thing that he attaches great importance to. The junior is willing to go to the Northern Imperial City and try to convince the city lord. β
The city lord said: "Haha, you are worthy of being a disciple of the Indisputable Academy, you have courage, Han Shu, you tell the little brother." β
At this time, a man dressed as a scholar stood up and said: " The city lord of the Northern Imperial City used to be obsessed with martial arts, and as a result, his wife was seriously injured, he looked for medical treatment everywhere, but it had no effect, and now he can only rely on some medicinal materials to maintain his life, he turned his apologies to his wife into a spoiling of his daughter, if the people he values should be these two people, but these two people are not easy to start, his wife never goes out of the city lord's mansion, her daughter is arrogant, there are often masters around to protect her, and it is difficult to approach, even if you are close, I am afraid that no one can stand his daughter's princess anger. β
Wang Xuan listened to Han Shu's introduction, he already had a seven-layer grasp in his heart, and he arched his hand to the city lord and said, "City lord, the junior is willing to go and persuade the city lord of the Northern Imperial City." β
These people all looked at Wang Xuan with a little suspicion, and the city lord was also a little incredulous, and said: "Little brother, are you sure? This is not a child's play, if you are not careful, I am afraid that your life will be in danger." β
Wang Xuan looked at everyone and said, "Seniors, juniors are sixty percent sure that they can succeed," Wang Xuan deliberately said a little lower, but in the eyes of everyone, this is impossible, Wang Xuan's sixty percent certainty has already surprised them.
At this time, Qin Tian and Zhao Xue stood up and said, "Let's go with Xiao Xuan." Although Wang Xuan was somewhat sure that he had persuaded the city lord of the Northern Protector Imperial City, he was afraid that there would be danger on the way there, and he didn't want Qin Tian and them to take risks with him, so he said: "Brother Qin, Xiaoxue, you two are in the East Protector Imperial City to help the city lord prevent the people from the southern and western cities from coming to sneak attack, and at the same time waiting for Brother Zhu and them, you don't have to worry about me, I am sure." By the way, you have a more important mission, to find out what is going on in the palace. I will be back soon. β
The city lord looked at the three young teenagers and smiled: "Haha, it seems that we are really old, now it is related to the survival of the country, little brother hopes that you will succeed, I will give you my token, you take it, just show it to the city lord of the Northern Imperial City when the time comes, this road is full of dangers, I will send you some more people to go with you." β
"No, it's not good if there are too many people, and it's not easy for me to attract attention when I go by myself. Then I will leave tomorrow, and I will be back in three days. Wang Xuan said.
Everyone had a discussion for a while, and finally everyone went back, the city lord originally wanted to leave Wang Xuan to rest in the city lord's mansion, but Wang Xuan still returned to the Qin Mansion with Qin Tian, and when he arrived at the Qin Mansion, Qin's mother listened to Wang Xuan's acceptance of the task of persuading the Northern Imperial City, inquired about the situation, and then agreed that this task was probably completed by Wang Xuan, just when everyone was puzzled, Qin's mother pointed out that Wang Xuan would be able to heal, and everyone suddenly realized, but Qin's mother still kept telling Wang Xuan to pay attention to safety, and if it didn't work, he would withdraw quickly, which couldn't help but make Wang Xuan have an illusion, as if Qin's mother was his mother, Qin's mother looked at Wang Xuan in a daze, and said"What's wrong with Xiao Xuan?"
Wang Xuan realized that he had lost his temper and said, "Haha, I remembered my mother. In the past, as soon as I went out, she also gave me a thousand instructions. β
Qin's mother asked, "Then where is your mother now?"
Wang Xuan said a little lost: "My mother is no longer there." Qin's mother knew that she had asked the wrong thing and said, "Xiao Xuan, I'm sorry." Wang Xuan hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's just that I thought of my mother for a while, and I was a little distracted." β
Father Qin stood up and said, "Xiao Xuan, the Qin Mansion will be your home in the future." At this time, Qin's mother said: "To Xiao Xuan, my aunt still has a presumptuous idea, can I recognize you as my adopted son?"
Wang Xuan was a little flattered, and hurriedly said, "Auntie, Xiao Xuan is very willing. β
"Would you like to call your aunt?" Father Qin pretended to be serious, and then laughed, and Qin Tian on the side said, "Hurry up and call your father-in-law, mother-in-law." β
Wang Xuan said hesitantly: "Righteousnessγγγγγγ Father, stepmother is good. β
"Haha, Xiao Xuan, we are veritable brothers this time, father and mother, you are really blessed, you accepted Xiao Xuan as a righteous son, don't be partial in the future. Qin Tian said mischievously.
Qin Mu said angrily: "Then it depends on your performance." Sit down, I'll tell the kitchen to cook more delicious food, and we'll celebrate, it's a good day." β
Everyone finished their meal happily and went back to their houses to rest.
