The two horsemen galloped and dismounted at a distance of two hundred zhang in front of the city gate, and immediately two men, one dressed in coarse linen clothes, without any ornaments, in a simple style, and the other dressed in black black robes, covered with four-clawed golden dragons. The middle-aged man in cloth had a leisurely expression and walked towards the city gate, while the young man in the dragon robe was slightly nervous.

When the two of them came to the thirty zhang below the city, the guards at the city gate shouted: "Who is coming? The city gate has been under martial law, and the city will open tomorrow morning, please leave immediately." ”

The middle-aged man in cloth said with a smile: "I am a big man, when did I fall to the point where I am so loud and loud, and the grass and trees are all soldiers?"

The soldiers defending the city blushed when they heard this, as the guard of Shouchun City, there has been no martial law at the city gate for twenty years, so he naturally has his own pride. But where the duty lies, he still shouted: "Please leave quickly." ”

The middle-aged man said in a majestic voice: "General Wu Qi, call your general out to see me!"

When the soldier heard that Wu Qi had reported to his home, his demeanor changed, and he hurried downstairs, and a general in military uniform came after a while, and when he saw Wu Qi, he immediately stood still, and gave a military salute to Wu Qi: "Young general Wu An, I have seen the general." ”

Wu Qi said loudly: "Wu Chang Wu An, the first king followed the general to conquer Nanzhao in the eighth year, and took the initiative to ask to join the ranks of the seventy-two warriors who were trapped, and seventy-two people attacked the 5,000 elite phalanx of the Nanban, fought to the death and did not retreat, and finally chiseled through the enemy formation, making the enemy fearful. In that battle, you were stabbed twenty-one times, and the swords were all in the chest, and you were promoted to captain by the general, but I didn't expect you to be promoted to a general. ”

Wu An trembled all over, and said excitedly: "The general still remembers the little general, and the little general is really worth dying!"

Wu Qi said: "Everyone who is a soldier under Wu, whether dead or alive, Wu can remember his name and tell his parents and brothers. Wu An, Baili Qingshan rebelled and rebelled, hindering the first king from entering the earth for peace, he has committed a heinous crime, he will come to Shouchun alone, and he wants to give the first king a justice, do you dare to die with the general?"

Wu An laughed and said: "As long as you can follow the general, the young general in the water and fire will not frown and open the city gate." The soldiers behind him hesitated: "General, Lord Baili and the city guard strictly order that the city should not be opened." ”

Wu An scolded: "These two villains are birds, open the city gate quickly, and the general will have the final say." ”

After a while, the closed city gate slowly opened, and Wu An took the lead with hundreds of people to welcome Wu Qi into the city.

Wu Qi asked, "How many people are available under you?"

Wu An said proudly: "His subordinates are in charge of the military affairs of the East Gate, and there are 10,000 brothers in each of the battalions on both sides, and they are all willing to be driven by the general." ”

Wu Qi said calmly: "Gather people and horses, go straight to the royal city, and send people to the other four gates to shout, willing to follow me Wu Qi to crusade against the rebels, or my Wu Qi's brother." ”

Wu An said excitedly: "Yes, I have long seen that Qu Fu's birdman is not pleasing to the eye, and he has no credit for being in the position of the city guard, God is really blind." ”

The young man in the dragon robe standing next to Wu Qi was the prince of Chu State, he looked at all this with a smile, but a cold light flashed in his eyes from time to time. Shouchun has always rumored that Wu Qi is the pillar of the country, he has not believed it, until today Wu Qi rescued him from the royal tomb, to take him into Shouchun to set things right, he saw that Wu Qi was only one person, he was a little frightened in his heart, and he didn't think he could succeed.

The moment Wu Qi called to open the city gate, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a murderous intent in his heart, although the throne had not yet been passed to him, but he must not allow such a person who could subvert the imperial power at any time to live in the world, and at the same time, he had boundless fear of Wu Qi rising in his heart. More than ten years have passed since Wu Qi's conquest of Nanzhao, and the commander of Wu Qi has climbed to the position of a guard, but after seeing Wu Qi, he is still willing to work for him, even ignoring his own status and net worth.

Wu An arranged for people to go to the other three city gates to spread the news, and he himself gathered people and horses, and under the leadership of Wu Qi, they marched towards the royal city. From beginning to end, he ignored the man in the dragon robe, and since the general didn't introduce him, he naturally thought that there was no need to know him, regardless of whether he was the prince or not.

A group of 20,000 people was like a winding dragon, heading straight for the palace, and after half an hour, soldiers took the initiative to join the team one after another along the way, and there were more than 100 generals and captains leading a formed team to ask Wu Qi for orders to join the team. Wu Qi casually ordered these people to be incorporated into the ranks, which did not affect the speed of the march in the slightest.

In less than half an hour, the procession had reached the gate of the palace, and the soldiers of the royal city were shocked to see so many people coming to the city, and hurriedly reported to the guards.

When the guards heard that so many troops were coming to the city, their first reaction was that someone rebelled and hurried to the city tower, and at this time Wu Qi's team was less than a hundred feet away from the city gate.

When the guard saw that behind the attacking procession were torches that stretched endlessly, his heart sank to the bottom, and he mustered up his courage and shouted: "Who is under the city, this is the forbidden place of the palace, and no one is allowed to trespass." ”

The team under the city stopped a hundred zhang in front of the city tower, and Wu Qi said quietly: "Sun Daoquan, do you still recognize the general?"

Sun Daoquan looked at it intently, and said in shock: "General!" Immediately, like Wu An, he straightened up and gave a military salute to Wu Qi.

Wu Qi looked at Sun Daoquan and said: "Baili Qingshan united with the nobles of the family to make a rebellion, hindering the first king from entering the land for peace, Wu Qi was ordered by the first king to enter Beijing to fight for thieves, and the four soldiers felt the benevolence of the first king, and they have all joined the rebel army, where will General Sun go?"

Although Sun Daoquan was not Wu Qi's soldiers, he had fought with Wu Qi and knew Wu Qi's ability to command the army, not to mention that Wu Qi had won the support of the Simen City Defense Army, he believed that as long as Wu Qi was given 10,000 troops, Wu Qi would be able to sweep Shouchun City.

Seeing that there were more and more soldiers downstairs in the city, and there was a continuous trickle of water flowing into the team, Sun Daoquan knew that the general trend had gone.

The Baili Invincible who stood behind Sun Dao's body was a nephew of Baili Qingshan, this person had just been promoted to Sun Daoquan's deputy today, and seeing Sun Daoquan's hesitation, he said sharply: "General Sun, what are you hesitating about? Quickly shoot the traitors under the city, otherwise I will play Uncle Ming and remove you from the position of general." ”

Sun Daoquan sneered, pulled out his sword, cut off the head of the invincible man for a hundred miles with a sword, kicked his body off the city wall with one kick, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Kill all the soldiers and officers who were transferred to the army today!"

After receiving the order, Sun Daoquan hurriedly left, and Sun Daoquan then ordered: "Open the palace gate and welcome the general into the city." (To be continued.) )
