"If you don't want to leave, you don't have to force it." The Emperor said with a sigh.

"Yes, most of those people have lived there for generations, and if they are allowed to leave, I am afraid that their livelihood will be a problem in the future, so they will not take the initiative to leave. The King followed suit.

"Your Majesty, don't those people know that these cities will soon change owners and are no longer under the control of the imperial court?" Chi Zhongtian asked incomprehensibly.

"What do you know? Southern Xinjiang is originally a barbarian land, there are often wars there, even if there are no major wars, some small-scale armed fights are common, and most of the people there have no pursuits, as long as they can be fed and drunk, as for who is their master, they don't care. When the emperor said this, although he said it with a smile, anyone could see that this smile was very bitter.

"Look, I'm wrong again, I shouldn't say this at this time, come, Uncle Huang, Chi Aiqing, I salute you!"

As he spoke, the Emperor immediately raised his glass.

Chi Zhongtian and King Zun also hurriedly stood up with their wine glasses, and after thanking them, they drank them all.

"Your Majesty, the minister remembers that in Lijiang City, there seem to be some imperial army there. Chi Zhongtian suddenly remembered this incident and immediately said it.

"Well, I know, but I've ordered them to withdraw, and I guess it's a long way from there now. The emperor replied.

"Uncle Huang, after the matter is done, come back immediately, don't delay for half a moment!" the emperor said suddenly after a pause.

The King nodded heavily and replied, "Your Majesty, don't worry!"

This feast, after eating for more than an hour, the emperor kept persuading Chi Zhongtian to eat, and as a result, Chi Zhongtian was supported, and after coming out of the palace, Chi Zhongtian almost felt that he couldn't walk.

"Zhongtian, this time, you have to be careful on the road. The Venerable King, who came out with Chi Zhongtian, suddenly whispered this.

"Lord Wang, what, what is your rumor?" asked Chi Zhongtian.

"There are some things that I can't say too much, anyway, you just have to be careful. The king said.

Since the king said that he couldn't say too much, then Chi Zhongtian naturally couldn't ask.

"Don't worry, with me, no one dares to make up my mind. "At this time, Chi Zhongtian must not be modest, the more arrogant he is, the more confident he is in his heart.

"Okay, with your words, I'll rest assured, I'll go back and pack up first, and meet at the city gate when the time comes. After the king finished speaking, he left first.

Before the time arrived, Chi Zhongtian came to the city gate, at this time, the city gate has been under martial law, dozens of officers and soldiers placed a long row of wooden thorn fences on the street, idle people are not allowed to approach, Chi Zhongtian saw a fire in front of the city gate from a long distance, Chi Zhongtian had already changed his official uniform, so just when an officer and soldier saw him, he immediately let him pass.

After approaching, Chi Zhongtian found that these fires were caused by the torches held in the hands of some sergeants, although these sergeants had changed into uniform armor, but Chi Zhongtian had already recognized them, these people were the soldiers of Shenwu Dragon Yangwei, because there were several people from the Cold Leaf Valley, Chi Zhongtian saw them.

After many days, these original martial arts people seem to be less lazy and more steady, I have to say that Huang Wuan and Zuo Zhe still have a lot of experience in the way of military training.

"General Chi!" Suddenly, a voice came out from behind Chi Zhongtian.

Chi Zhongtian turned his head and saw that it was King Zun who had come over.

"The emperor has already come, just on the city tower, it's just inconvenient to show up, let's just go out of the city in a while. The king said.

After hearing this, Chi Zhongtian raised his head and glanced at the city tower, and sure enough, he could vaguely see that there were many people on the city tower, presumably the emperor was also looking at him at this time.

"Say a few words. ”

The King lowered his voice and said.

Chi Zhongtian nodded knowingly, and then shouted with all his heart: "Everyone, today, it is our first time to serve the country, there is no other word, only one sentence, three hundred people go, three hundred people come back!"

"Yes!"

Although there was only a short sentence, Chi Zhongtian said the most important sentence, even the emperor who was far away on the city tower, after listening to Chi Zhongtian's words, was quite emotional, and couldn't help but say to Long Yun, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and Xu Huoyang, the commander of the imperial guards, next to him: "This son is extremely talented, a rare talent. ”

Long Yun hurriedly replied: "The emperor is wise, General Chi does have the demeanor of a general!"

At this moment, another roar came: "Shenwu Dragon Yang Guards all the soldiers obey the order!

"Boom" As the two heavy city gates were opened, Chi Zhongtian wore the general armor that had just been replaced, rode on a horse specially prepared for him, walked in the front, and in a four-horse carriage next to him, it was the king, and there were some double-riding carriages behind, which were a few accompanying officials, zuihou face, it was three hundred soldiers of Shenwu Long Yangwei, this time, there was only one general of the unified army, Chi Zhongtian, and no other generals were arranged, in addition, there were seven or eight small officers and guides accompanying the army, these small officers were all soldiers of Shenwu Dragon Yangwei, so arranged, I think that I am afraid that Chi Zhongtian will be too careful, and secondly, it is also because this is not really going to war after all, so you don't have to be so nervous.

For soldiers who have been trained for many years, it is normal to walk at night, and similarly, for these martial arts people, walking at night is not a difficult thing, and everyone has torches, and they can see clearly on the road.

The route arranged this time is to pass through Chang'an City, all the way to the south, through the territory of Sichuan, and then rush directly to Lijiang City, such a route, but shorten the distance, but the safety on the road, Chi Zhongtian is a little worried, because if you want to pass through the land of Sichuan, it is difficult to guarantee that Gu Aoyun will not get the news, and this Gu Ao Yun and the Fuyu Holy Sect have always been hooked up, embarrassed, if the Fuyu Holy Sect also learned the route, and blocked it halfway, I am afraid it will be another trouble.

Fortunately, the arrangement of the route is all top secret, except for Chi Zhongtian and King Zun who know about the accident, no one else knows.

After walking all night, as soon as the sky was dark, the guide of the army rode to Chi Zhongtian's side and said to him: "General, we have arrived at Baoding Mansion, should we go into the city to rest for the time being, or will we take a detour to continue the march?"

Chi Zhongtian looked up at the sky for a while, then looked back at the people behind him, thought about it and replied: "There is no need to enter the city, so as not to panic the people, just rest here." ”
