Borrowing a boat was blocked
Fortunately, the shore is not far from Shunqing Mansion, and after walking for a long time, Chi Zhongtian came to the city gate.
At this time, the city gate is usually closed, but if someone is in a hurry to enter the city, after checking that it is correct, there are soldiers who will open the city gate for you.
After Chi Zhongtian came to the city gate, several soldiers in front of the city gate immediately came over and interrogated.
"I am Chi Zhongtian, the general of Shenwu Dragon Yangwei, I have an urgent matter to see the prefect of Shunqing Mansion, you will open the city gate immediately!" Chi Zhongtian did not delay at all, and directly took out his general seal and handed it over.
When the soldiers heard this, they quickly took a closer look at it by the light, and then immediately opened the gates.
"I don't know the road here, you take me there!" Chi Zhongtian said.
"Yes, General, please come with me!" said hello to one of the soldiers, and then led the way.
At this time, the prefect had already fallen asleep, but because Chi Zhongtian revealed his identity, the soldiers guarding the city brought Chi Zhongtian to the front of the government and called the door directly.
It didn't take long for the prefect to hurriedly walk out of it, and after seeing Chi Zhongtian, he immediately said respectfully: "This is General Chi?"
"Well, this is my official seal!" Chi Zhongtian handed over the official seal again.
After the prefect took it, he looked at it carefully several times, and after confirming that it was correct, he knelt down and saluted: "Jiang Xianda, the prefect of Xiaguan Shunqing Mansion, see General Chi." ”
"Lord Jiang, please get up, I have an urgent matter to go to the Jiangbei Navy Camp, and I bother you to show me the way. Chi Zhongtian said as he helped him up.
"Well, General Chi later, I'll go and prepare a carriage for you. Jiang Xianda said.
"You don't have to, you can just ride a horse. Chi Zhongtian said.
"Okay, come on, go and lead some horses!"
"Yes!"
It didn't take long for Chi Zhongtian and Jiang Xianda to walk to the Jiangbei Navy camp under the escort of more than a dozen people.
The Jiangbei Navy Battalion was located on the Jialing River, and a lot of wooden piles were used to surround the water city on the river, and several large war ships and dozens of small boats were parked in it.
Of course, for these sailors, even if it is a small boat, it is no problem to sit thirty or fifty people.
The people in the Jiangbei Navy Battalion, in fact, usually the most they can do is to escort some merchant ships back and forth, or to deter some water thieves, if they really want to fight, they still can't do it.
After coming to the gate of the Jiangbei Navy camp, the soldiers in charge of guarding saw Jiang Xianda, so they immediately came over and asked, "Lord Jiang, what are you doing here late at night?" Without waiting for Jiang Xianda to speak, Chi Zhongtian jumped off the horse first and said directly: "General Chi Zhongtian of Shenwu Dragon Yangwei has something important to ask to see General Guo, please pass it immediately!"
When Chi Zhongtian reported himself to his home like this, the soldiers who listened to it were stunned, and they were still wondering what kind of official position this Shenwu Long Yangwei General was.
"Don't hurry up yet!"
Seeing that those people were in a daze, Jiang Xianda hurriedly shouted.
Hearing Jiang Xianda talking, those people hurriedly ran back to report.
It didn't take long for a man in armor to stride from inside, it was none other than the general of the Jiangbei Navy Battalion, Guo Ming.
He first said hello to Jiang Xianda, and then said suspiciously: "General Shenwu Long Yangwei?"
"Chi Zhongtian!" Chi Zhongtian said.
"General Chi is here late at night, I don't know what is urgent?"
"Please General Guo lend me a big war boat, I have hundreds of people to cross the river. Chi Zhongtian said.
"Oh, borrow a boat?"
Just when Guo Ming was a little confused, Jiang Xianda said: "Two generals, it is inconvenient for me to participate in the affairs of the army, so I will leave first!"
"Okay, Master Jiang go slowly!"
Chi Zhongtian knows his thoughts, so he doesn't keep it.
After Jiang Xianda left, Chi Zhongtian continued: "General Guo, this is Chi's big seal, please take a look." ”
Although Guo Ming didn't know what the Shenwu Dragon Yangwei General was, let alone Chi Zhongtian, he knew the big seal handed over by Chi Zhongtian, which was the same material as the big seal of his own naval general, and it was much bigger than his own, and the grade was obviously much bigger than himself.
"The last general has seen General Chi!"
Since the official position is not enough, Guo Ming can only salute.
"You're welcome, please send the ship. Chi Zhongtian said.
"I don't know what General Chi borrowed the ship for?" Guo Ming asked cautiously.
Chi Zhongtian thought for a moment, and then said: "This matter was once said by the Holy Lord, and it is a top secret, so I can't tell the general." ”
As soon as he heard that it was the emperor who said it, although Guo Ming didn't dare to ask again, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
You don't know where you jumped out, as soon as you open your mouth, you are a general, and then you borrow a boat, looking arrogant, what are you angry?
Although Guo Ming was thinking so in his heart, Chi Zhongtian didn't see it, he was in a hurry now, how could he be in the mood to think about these nonsense things.
"General Chi, I'm afraid I can't do anything about this, the rules of the barracks, General Chi should understand that without a military order, I can't transfer the warship out without authorization. Guo Ming said.
"General Guo, I know that this is not in accordance with the rules, but I do have an urgent matter, and I was sent out by the Holy Lord to do something, so I hope that General Guo will give me a convenience. ”
In fact, if Chi Zhongtian talked about it well, Guo Ming would not lose this face, but just Chi Zhongtian's sentence that the saint sent out to do things made Guo Ming angry.
Which of the generals who are taking troops out of the country is good-tempered? That's almost all a little bit of a thing.
"General Chi! The Holy Lord sent you out to do something, and he didn't send a decree to inform the last general! So, I can't help this matter, General Chi, please go back!"
After speaking, Guo Ming turned around and left, leaving Chi Zhongtian stunned in place, and he didn't react for a long time.
Did you say the wrong thing?
But after pondering it repeatedly, Chi Zhongtian didn't feel that what he said was wrong.
There was no way, Chi Zhongtian could only take a few steps forward, and then shouted loudly: "General Guo stays!"
When Guo Ming heard Chi Zhongtian's voice, he hesitated and stood in place, then turned around and asked, "What else does General Chi command?"
"General Guo, if Chi has any offense, I hope the general will forgive me, but there is indeed an urgent matter, there are three hundred soldiers on the other side of the river in Baoning Mansion, and the ordinary ferries on the Jialing River are too small, and if you cross the river in batches again and again, it will be too cumbersome, so I want to ask the general to seconded a big boat. Chi Zhongtian said with a smile.
"General Chi, if there is a holy decree, or if there is a military order from the North Road Battalion, I can agree, but now with just a few words from you, General, if I lend the boat out, once something happens, I am afraid I will not be able to bear this responsibility. Guo Ming continued.
