Chapter 23: Hua Fei Ju Shou Wangbei Mourning (2)
"Boom!"
The thunder in the sky had just sounded, and the downpour began to fall.
Raindrops fell on the armor like stones, clanging.
Su Heng's eyes couldn't be opened, the rain gathered into a curtain of water from in front of him, and he couldn't see what was in front of him at all, he only saw the lightning in the sky tearing the night, and only heard the thunder exploding in his ears, and the whole person was like a leaf in a big river, being pushed and staggering forward.
"Kill!"
The shouting of killing was mixed with thunder, as if it was going to drown Su Heng. Su Heng gasped, but the more he was like this, the more he felt that his throat was dry, and the drier his throat was, the more he wanted to drink a few more sips of rainwater.
But when the rain poured into his mouth, he immediately felt a thick bloody breath burst out of his mouth, as if he was not drinking rain, but hot blood.
I don't know when, the shouting of killing is getting closer and closer!
Su Heng was in a daze, when he heard Chu Zhuang's roar, he finally took out the Xuantie Gun from the bag on his back.
"Ghee, you have to remember that the first thing is the momentum of the military battle, so most of the weapons in the army are spears, and the so-called one inch long and one inch strong is like this. ”
"The use of spears, you must practice straight stabs!"
"Seventy-two basic marksmanship, the heaviest straight stab! The spear is like a dragon, and the straight stab is a python!"
The old iron head's teaching, Su Heng never dared to forget. He rushed out of the cavalry phalanx, and the black iron spear in his hand stabbed straight in an instant, like a bolt of lightning, tearing open the space of seven feet.
"Kill!"
The shouting of killing became heavier, and there was a tragic battle everywhere, even the monk was covered in blood, he did not kill anyone, but his men were seriously injured.
The Wangbei army fell one by one, and the dead and wounded in all directions were even more wounded, and this rainy night was watered with blood and stained with a layer of tragedy.
————————————
Jushou City is brightly lit, even in the deepest part of the inner city, the Imperial City, where the flames are soaring, and the huge lanterns emit fiery red light under the torrential rain. In the middle of the imperial city, in the Haoji Palace, which symbolizes the most noble imperial power of Lichu, a middle-aged man with long hair and long hair, wearing a golden Su Jinyun silk robe, stood at the door of the palace, looking to the southwest.
The middle-aged man has a beard, his eyebrows are resolute, and the whole person is like a god, and the rain is a few feet around this person, and it is pushed away by an invisible force, and he is not allowed to get close.
"Zhao Song, you said that the kid who came out of Beiji can enter this Jushou City?"
"The subordinates don't know, but the subordinates know that no matter whether this person has a long life or not, no one dares to take him in......" A pitch-black figure loomed from the darkness.
"This kid is obviously an orphan left behind by the disarmament camp, and he specially let him enter Jushou, it seems that he is for me to see. The middle-aged man's robe trembled, and he slowly walked back to the hall, "Pass the order, no ghost bird is allowed to participate in this sniping, and there will be no forgiveness for violators!"
"Yes. Before the black shadow could speak, it disappeared again.
Rumbling thunder, raging in the sky.
After a lapse of 20 years, Jushou once again stayed awake all night, and both the inner and outer cities fell into tension.
Taishi's Mansion, the residence of the head of the Three Princes,
Tonight's Taishi Mansion is more lively than before, the door is full of traffic, one carriage after another came to the door of the mansion, and then one by one people in brocade clothes hurriedly got off the car and walked into the mansion. And so on and
"Lord Chen Chang. A middle-aged man dressed in black cloud brocade trotted all the way, finally opened a gap in the side door of the mansion, hurriedly got in, and happened to bump into the person in front of him.
"Lord Liu Mao. ”
The person in front looked back, and it turned out to be his colleagues, both of whom occupied the official positions of the third rank in the court, and they were one step away from becoming the third rank of the court.
"I don't know why Lord Chen came here in the rain?"
Lord Liu laughed, Chen came to the same thing as Lord Liu. ”
The two belonged to the same faction, and they exchanged greetings and got together. Although they are from the rank of third-rank official, among the civil officials under the command of the Taishi, they are only at the middle level, and they cannot be on the big stage, so they can only hold each other together in order to have some right to speak.
"I don't know if Lord Cai Ling Cai came out of Jushou some time ago and came back?" Liu Mao looked around and asked quietly in Chen Chang's ear.
Unexpectedly, when Chen Chang heard this, he immediately jumped up, he looked around cautiously, "Shh, this matter should not be publicized, you and I can just know it, we must not make a noise, otherwise you and I will not be able to save our lives." ”
Liu Mao also knew that he was talking too much, so he nodded quickly, and the two of them walked along the path towards the reception hall of the first courtyard with their own hearts.
The Taishi's Mansion is a six-hall courtyard, and ordinary guests can only wait to be summoned in the first meeting hall, and only slightly more important guests can enter the next one, and the most important guests will be greeted by the steward of the palace and meet with the Taishi in the third meeting hall.
When Chen Chang and Liu Mao entered the reception hall, many people had already gathered here.
"Lord Chen, Lord Liu. ”
When a group of officials saw the two coming, they stepped forward one after another. After all, the rank of the third rank is not low in this outermost outer.
"There are too many adults who will meet the Taishi tonight, and we can only wait here, and I don't know if the Taishi can summon us. "Some of these people have been waiting for a long time, but they don't dare to leave at will, so they can only continue to wait.
Chen Chang and Liu Mao also found a seat, and the two closed their eyes and waited quietly.
I don't know how long it took, Chen Chang suddenly heard a soft call in his ear, "Lord Chen, Lord Chen......"
Chen Chang opened his eyes suddenly, and found that the steward of the Taishi Mansion was standing beside him,
"Taishi invites Master Chen over. ”
Chen Chang's heart moved, and then he looked at Liu Mao next to him, and he was also invited over.
Under the envious gaze of the surrounding officials, the two followed the steward towards the inside.
"The two adults are really lucky, there are many second-rank masters who have not yet been summoned by the Taishi, it seems that the two adults will definitely be on the rise in the future. Chong Chen and Liu, the stewards of the Taishi Mansion, said.
Chen Chang and Liu Mao didn't dare to say anything, although they were just a steward, but in the Taishi Mansion, this steward was comparable to a senior member of the court, and it was rumored that there was a cloth minister in the Taishi Mansion, and he was talking about the steward of the Taishi Mansion.
The steward walked very quickly in front, and Chen and Liu didn't dare to procrastinate, so they followed closely, and entered a study after a while.
There was already someone standing in the study at this time!
"Lord Cai!?"
Chen Chang and Liu Mao exclaimed in unison, and quickly silenced themselves.
"Later, you and I will meet the Master. Cai Ling turned around and looked at the two with a smile, these two people in front of her were her cronies, this time the stakes were very high, and she could completely tie these two people to herself.
"Yes......"
Chen Liu's excited voices were trembling, they had all heard some rumors before, but they had never been sure, and only now did they dare to be sure.
Such a big event is unimaginable!
The steward of the Taishi Mansion knocked on the door after a while, "Three adults, the Taishi is invited." ”
Chen Chang and Liu Mao followed behind Cai Ling and walked into a winding path.
"You should write down this road, if there is something urgent, you can meet the master directly from this road. Cai Ling walked and didn't forget to mention it.
"Yes. "Where do Chen Chang and Liu Mao still look like third-grade officials at this time? Like a fledgling boy, they nodded again and again. They know very well that if they continue along the way, their future career may have just begun.
Taishi is an old man who looks seventy or eighty, ordinary, ordinary, without the slightest majesty, and even has some difficulty standing up. But it was such an old man, but the three court ministers knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to be disrespectful.
"Master Cai, tell me what you have done on this trip. "The Taishi's voice was very soft, as if it came from the ground, and it made people tremble.
Cai Ling didn't know when a cold sweat broke out on his head, he didn't dare to wipe it, so he knelt on the ground and spoke slowly,
"On this trip, I met General Wanyan Lie of Junshang, who can transfer 35,000 men and horses from Xuanming City, which is enough for the 3,000 barbarians of the Jiejia Battalion to cross the border between the two countries......"
The Taishi seemed to be silent when he heard it, but Cai Ling still waited quietly.
After a long time, the Taishi said faintly, "Just one perfect face is not enough to stabilize the ......."
As soon as this sentence came out, Cai Ling shuddered, "It's too ...... Taishi, lowly ......"
Taishi waved his hand, "Master Cai, don't worry, you have done a good job in this matter." After a while, Jiang Xing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, will return to his hometown, and you will replace this son at that time. ”
"Thank you...... Thank you for the grace of Taishi!" Cai Ling's body kept trembling, and then she knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Taishi. The waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the official residence from the second grade, has entered the ranks of important ministers of the imperial court.
"As for the two adults, Chen and Liu, they will assist Lord Cai, and there are still two Langzhong in the Ministry of Rites. Taishi looked at Chen Chang and Liu Mao, who were kneeling behind Cai Ling.
"Humble ...... Thank you for your grace!"
Chen Chang is like a dream, he has worked hard for more than 20 years before he came to the official position of the third grade, and he has been standing still for five years.
The night of the rainstorm washes away the filth between heaven and earth, but there is still darkness quietly breeding.
