Chapter 107: Reinforcements from the Imperial Capital
ps: Thank you book friend b, Xiaobai, Tiankong Fengzi for your reward! Thank you! Your encouragement is my greatest motivation!
The incident of three arrows shattering the gate of Istan City spread throughout southern Xinjiang. Originally, Yurien was worried that there would not be enough materials to watch the emperor, but he did not expect that David Mo would give such a huge surprise!
Gerben City ushered in three consecutive days of light rain, and the smell of blood inside and outside the city finally gradually dissipated. After the rain was clear, the whole city was completely renewed, and the clouds of war finally dissipated.
The whole city took advantage of this stable day to increase efforts to repair the fortifications. David Mo no longer had a leisurely day. He accompanied the mud and rubble, and it became a common thing to be covered in dust.
The two young ladies of Baigu Mansion often sent some wine to express their condolences. The soldiers became more and more fond of the Baigu clan and felt even more regretful of Baiguli's sacrifice.
Half a month after the war ended, a large group of people came from outside Gerben City, so the city immediately entered a state of alert, and the city gates were closed and officers at all levels quickly gathered.
However, after carefully observing the numbers of the troops outside the city, everyone suddenly found that they were all troops of the Holy Empire. However, for caution, in order to prevent the city fraud, David Mo still did not order to stop the guard.
A man ran out of the army outside the city, holding a waist sign in his hand and shouted: "I am a second-class Xue from the palace! I will be here to promulgate the rewards under the order of the emperor! Open the city gate quickly!"
Yurien had already arrived at the city wall at this time. When he saw the waist card in the man's hand, he turned to David Mo and said, "Captain Mo, this is indeed the waist card in the palace. Hurry up and open the city gate and let them in."
David Mo shook his head and frowned slightly, "Don't take it lightly. There are at least 200,000 troops outside the city. If all of them enter the city, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Seeing Yulian's face hesitated, he smiled faintly and said, "Do not worry, deputy commander. If you offend this Xuezhe, Mo will take responsibility for it yourself and will not involve you."
Yulian looked a little embarrassed. He was indeed worried about offending the nobles in the palace. Unexpectedly, David Mo could see the worries in his heart at a glance.
David Mo ignored him and turned to Xuezhe below and shouted: "Please forgive me, Lord Xuezhe! I had to do it as a last resort. Please bring all kinds of proof items. I will put down the hanging basket later. Come up and we will confirm it!"
Xuezhe's face turned a little red when he heard David Mo's words. He had never been so rude after leaving the palace. He was about to leave immediately, but thinking that the emperor's destiny was there, he had to endure it at this time.
He glanced coldly at David Mo who was talking on the city wall, and said sharply: "Wait, I'll get the proof items!"
After saying that, he returned to the army and took something from a guard of honor. After a while, he returned to the city wall again.
Tielbi slowly lowered the hanging basket as Mo David ordered. Xuezhe's face was unstable. After a moment, his body trembled slightly, and gritted his teeth and squatted in the hanging basket.
After a while, four soldiers pulled him up. He stood up from the hanging basket with a loud noise. The soldiers around him were startled by him and thought they were cheating, so they drew their swords toward each other.
Xue Zhe was so angry that his whole body shivered. A golden light flashed in his hand and there was an extra wooden box. He raised the wooden box and shouted: "Where is the emperor's imperial edict, are you going to rebel?"
The wooden box was opened by him, and a roll of silk was exposed, and the rich majestic holy aura was released. A silver light specially used for anti-counterfeiting instantly blocked the blank space of the wooden box.
Seeing this scene, Yuri's heart was shocked and felt dilemma for a moment, but the soldiers around him were unmoved. Everyone was waiting for Mo David's orders.
David Mo smiled faintly on his face and bowed, "Please don't blame Xue Zhu. It's because he was frightened by the Romans that he had to act carefully."
He waved to the soldiers around him, "Put away all the weapons. Xuezhe is a noble man in the palace. Don't let others laugh at him!" The soldiers around him then took back their waist knives a few times, took three steps back, and stayed away from Xuezhe.
David Mo remained silent, and suddenly a thin note was added in his hand. He stepped forward and gently handed it to Xuezhe's hand. He smiled and said, "Xuezhe has been working hard all the way. He is not respectful for his little care. I hope he can forgive him."
Xuezhe glanced around, cleared his throat, pretended to be displeased, and said, "It is my duty to serve Your Majesty. How can I talk about fatigue? The leader's words are a bit serious."
After saying that, he glanced at the face value of the bill in Mo David's hand, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, leaving no trace of it, and the bill disappeared into the air in a blink of an eye.
When David Mo saw his series of actions of collecting money, he finally confirmed the real surname of Xue Zhe. Except for Xue Zhe in the palace, it was really difficult for others to do this set of actions.
He then asked, "Biyi is the leader of the Eighth Regiment, David Mo, who is the deputy commander, Lord Yulian. He has not yet asked what Xuezhe calls him?"
Xuezhe took the money and his attitude changed immediately. The unhappiness just now disappeared. When he heard David Mo telling his home, he smiled faintly: "Oh, you are the hero rumored in Yanjing. He is indeed a first-class person. Only by leaving the war in southern Xinjiang can you be safe..."
After saying that, he glanced at Yurien beside David, and his attitude immediately became lukewarm again, and said lightly: "I have heard of Lord Yurien's name, and he is also a good person."
Yurien was secretly angry. This eunuch had a great ability to speak at Qian. Although David Mo had a secret move just now, he could see clearly.
However, he did not dare to show any of his expression on his face, and quickly bowed and said, "I am really lucky to be able to get Xuezhe's concern!"
As the deputy commander of the third rank, he was going to nod and bow to a small palace Xuezhe, which shows the bureaucratic style of the Holy Empire.
When Xuezhe saw Yurien nodding and bowing, he was unmoved. He just nodded, and then smiled at David Mo: "My name is Kalydia, and I am the second-class Xuezhe in the palace. This time, he served as the deputy commander of the First Division of the Royal Imperial Army under the emperor's will..."
Speaking of this, he pointed to the powerful troops below and continued: "This is a total of 200,000 troops. Except for the First Division of the Royal Imperial Army, all the others are local troops."
The First Division of the Royal Imperial Army is an elite division. Although it is an open division, its actual force is as high as 30,000, which is twice the size of the Third Division.
David Mo and Yulian looked at each other and saw a hint of enlightenment from each other's eyes that the court's move would never be aimless.
Yurien couldn't help asking, "She, what arrangements does the emperor have for us? Since the First Division is here, do you want us to change our defense?"
Kalydia looked a little unhappy, glanced at Yurien and said coldly: "The army of the court is waiting below. How can the Holy Will be light? Do you understand the rules?"
Yurien didn't expect that Kalydia's temper was so big. She was sweating continuously and accused him of the crime: "I am a humble and frivolous position, and I hope Lord Xuezhe will forgive me."
When David Mo saw Yurien's face turned red, he felt unbearable. After all, he was the robe who had fought on the battlefield together, and immediately said to Kalydia: "Deputy Commander Yurien is also unintentional. I hope Lord Xuezhe will forgive me..."
When he said this, he glanced at the people under the city, and his face looked a little embarrassed: "There are too many troops and the city is crowded. It is better to set up camp outside the city first, and wait until the major schoolyards are cleaned up before entering the city."
Caredia frowned slightly, but she did not get angry at David Mo, and said hesitantly: "I am just the deputy commander of the reinforcements this time. The major issue of camping and setting up camp needs to be discussed with the Marquis Zolbenya."
When David Mo heard that he was willing to discuss, he immediately thanked him: "Mr. Xuezhe is indeed reasonable, and Mo thanked the people of the whole city."
Kalaidia laughed and was extremely helpful for David Mo's flattery. He glanced at the hanging basket behind him and quipped: "Mr. Mo, I'll go out again this time, there's no need to sit on this thing, right?"
David Mo chuckled twice and praised: "Xue's heart is boundless and vast, I admire him." He glanced at the Iron Bibi, who had been standing aside with expressionless faces, and ordered: "Open the city gate, I will go down with Deputy Commander Yurien to welcome the reinforcements."
After Tierbi took the order and left, he said to Moknash on the other side: "Go to the North Gate to inform Ilia, Nikolas, and Chalekel, cancel the guard and prepare to welcome the empire's army!"
Kalydia glanced at the Iron Ribe, and saw that he was like a loud sound and was burly, and he couldn't help but praise: "A good tiger general, there is indeed a hero under the command of Captain Mo!"
David Mo nodded and smiled lightly: "Xuezhe has good eyesight, but he is more than one of my tiger generals." Then he pointed to the battalion commander-level officers who had been waiting beside him, and sighed: "These are all pillars of our army!"
Yurien, who was standing by, was puzzled in his heart. He couldn't figure out how many gold coins David had paid, and he actually made Xuezhe's attitude look like this.
Seeing that they were about to say something, they found that the city gate had slowly opened. He bowed and smiled at Kaledia, "Mr. Xuezhe, please move. Beizhi will accompany you to welcome the officers outside the city."
Kalydia nodded and stopped saying anything to David Mo. She immediately walked in front and let David Mo and Yurien follow him.
After leaving the city, David Mo and Yulian asked the guard camp to line up and wait. Kalydia went over and discussed it first. After a while, the entire army suddenly scattered and set up camp outside the city. Only thousands of soldiers surrounded several officers and slowly walked towards David Mo.
At this time, Ilia, Nikolas, and Chalekel had led the guard battalion to arrive one after another. After merging with David Mo, they met the First Division that was slowly coming.
At this time, an officer in the crowd of the First Division had a flashing eyes and a deputy commander medal on his chest. He looked at David Mo with a hint of hatred. He was tall and a little handsome on his face, and he was Roberts, who graduated with David Mo at the time!
