A government officer didn't seem to hear this sound, and the sword he held high fell on a security guard of the Zhongguo Mansion who had closed his eyes and gave up resistance.
Seeing the knife falling, it would hit the neck, and then blood would splash. Many of the people watching could not bear to close their eyes.
Among the crowd, Feng Wanli and Sun Fuhu also made gestures to their men to prepare for action. Maybe they would jump out with sharp blades in the next breath.
Ding!
A sharp and crisp voice sounded, and the sound of breaking through the air passed above everyone's heads. Under the raised sword in the middle, the powerful force caused the Yamen servant to fall with the sword. Not only did it deviate from the direction, but his whole body was also shaken.
His body tilted and he almost fell to the ground like a dog chewing shit.
"Who is it?" Seeing a bow and arrow being released, King Xiang was also startled. When he saw a group of guards gathering around him, he did not forget to shout loudly, wanting to find out who had released the bow and arrow.
Preventing one's own good deeds.
"Everyone, get out of the way, a certain loyal lord is coming!"
Just as King Xiang's voice fell, as if to retaliate against him, a loud roar sounded from the crowd, hitting people's hearts. While many people were shocked, many people could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Long breath.
Shen Ao finally returned to Daliang City at the most critical moment and came to his mansion.
Seeing so many people blocking his street from a distance, Shen Ao felt that something was not right. Xue Fei knew what he meant, and jumped off the horse and came to a roof next to the street.
Seeing that someone was going to harm the guards of the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion, he took off the bow and arrow he was carrying and shot down an arrow. He saved the guard and at the same time prevented the situation from getting worse.
With the loud shouting, many people quickly looked back. When they saw a huge cavalry approaching from far away, out of instinct, they hurriedly moved to both sides of the street to avoid it, causing Shen Ao to take three hundred people with him.
The mountain guard was able to ride his horse smoothly to the front of his mansion.
Covered in dust and smoke, the Shanshan Guards who had not had time to change into clean clothes along the way were still stained with blood. But when such an image appeared in front of everyone, it made them feel a little more tired.
Extremely murderous.
This made King Xiang's face turn pale. Although he was protected by guards, he still couldn't help but take two steps back. It seemed that only in this way could he feel safer.
"What's going on?" Without even getting off his horse, Shen Ao glanced at everyone one by one.
It is said that there are two princes at the scene, the servants on the left and the inner minister. It is very impolite to talk to people like this, but no one has pointed it out now. Maybe they are all frightened by Shen Ao's appearance, especially when he is wearing
There were still blood stains on his chainmail that had recently dried, adding a murderous aura to it.
"Why are they all blocked in front of so-and-so's door? Who can explain?" After asking in one sentence, but no one answered, Shen Ao asked the second question again.
Everyone finally came to their senses, but still no one answered, but everyone's eyes turned to King Xiang who was protected by a group of guards.
Feeling that everyone was looking at him, King Xiang wanted to blurt out "mmp".
Everything you do depends on yourself, making you look like a bad person.
Evil people usually do not say that they are evil people, just like few bad people will admit that they are bad people.
Prince Xiang wanted to glare back angrily, but at this moment Shen Ao also looked at him and said, "So His Royal Highness Prince Xiang is here, but I'm sorry that he is wearing armor and cannot salute. By the way, you guys are gathered in front of Mr.'s house." What to do?”
"Do...what?" For some reason, after not seeing each other for a few days, Prince Xiang was afraid to look at Shen Ao, but he was the third prince after all, and he thought that Shen Ao, a prince, could not do anything to him, so this When he raised his head, his voice amplified several times. It seemed that only in this way could he feel confident. "Don't you know what you are doing, Duke Zhongguo? You are harboring barbarian spies in your palace. It is said that you are guilty of liaising with foreign countries. I am the prince. Is it wrong to catch you personally in order to save you?"
"Spy? Barbarian spy?" Shen Ao seemed to have heard a big joke, and laughed involuntarily while riding on the horse.
"Why are you laughing?" Being flustered by such laughter, King Xiang felt the pressure and asked back.
Hahaha! After laughing a few more times, Shen Ao stopped talking. When he looked at King Xiang, there was a strong questioning tone in his voice, "King Xiang said that barbarians are spies, which means that barbarians are Have I become an enemy?"
"Of course, isn't it?" Prince Xiang replied as if there was no need to ask.
"Of course not." Shen Ao said in a decisive tone: "Da Qian and Da Man are not at war. On the contrary, they are still in a trade and friendship agreement. Prince Xiang, you must not know this, right?"
"Of course... I know this. But the situation is different now. The barbarians have gathered a large army on the edge of Xinzhou, and they look like they are ready to enter at any time. Doesn't this explain the problem?" King Xiang held the Emperor's hand. Wei's report told the story.
"Of course not." Who would have thought that these words would fall into Shen Ao's ears, so he rejected them directly. On the contrary, he asked loudly, "Are the barbarians gathering their troops just to fight against me? Where can there be such a thing in the world? The truth? Let me tell you, as long as the barbarians have not mobilized troops for a day, they can still be regarded as friends of Daqian. This is not only said by my prince, but also by your majesty. There is your majesty's imperial edict here, and Prince Xiang can take it. One view.”
With a raised hand, a golden imperial edict quickly fell from Shen Ao's hand towards King Xiang.
The sharp-eyed guard picked it up and handed it to King Xiang respectfully. With a trace of suspicion, King Xiang took it, but his expression soon began to change, until finally, he lowered his head and looked like he had lost the battle. appearance.
From the look shown by King Xiang, it can be seen that what Shen Ao said is probably true. Even if there is a holy purpose, the barbarians have not launched a war against Daqian, so the barbarian princess is naturally not an enemy, let alone He was considered a barbarian spy, but on the contrary, he was considered a friendly country. In this way, everything King Xiang did became a joke.
Not only that, the concubine of Emperor Yuan who gave her the imperial edict was equivalent to doing something wrong. I am afraid that she will be punished on the day when the emperor returns to the imperial city.
This time, the barbarians marched to the border with only one intention, which was to make Da Gan give Oyadan an explanation. It would be best if Emperor Qian Wen could force Tang Ao to marry the barbarian princess. This matter, the emperor Wei had already found out and reported it to Emperor Qianwen.
Knowing that the barbarians had no intention of being enemies with him, this decree existed. As for the matter of Oyadan, Emperor Qianwen left it to Tang Ao to handle, so it was not known to outsiders.
King Xiang lowered his head, and Shen Ao ignored him. Instead, he looked at the hundreds of government servants standing in front of his mansion with knives and said: "According to what King Xiang just said, gathering troops in front of someone's door is considered an enemy. , in that case, these government officials are all enemies of our country?"
Shen Ao suddenly pointed the finger at the Yamen servants. The faces of all the Yamen servants changed drastically, and then as expected, they all turned their attention to King Xiang who looked defeated. They had come under King Xiang's order. Something happened here, which proved that they had done something wrong, and King Xiang could not ignore it.
Turning his eyes on himself again, King Xiang first raised his head if he felt something, and then quickly lowered his head, and then said to the guard captain Zhang Gui beside him: "Quickly, go back to the house."
"Prince Xiang is back." After Zhang heard this, he shouted loudly. This was also an instinctive move. It seemed that only by doing this could he demonstrate the power of Prince Xiang. But at this time, he shouted out, Immediately, the hundreds of government officials came rushing in.
What they did was all ordered by King Xiang. Seeing that the situation was not good, they wanted to leave. What should they do?
Duke Zhongguo is not an ordinary minister. He is known as a madman, and he is very bold in what he does. He is even more ferocious when dealing with his opponents. How can he be faced by ordinary government servants like them?
The only hope, the only one who could speak for them, King Xiang, was about to leave. Anyone who was willing to follow them gathered around, hoping that King Xiang would speak for them.
"What are you doing? Do you want to attack Wang Jia? Kill whoever comes near?" Zhang Gai finally showed off his guard captain style, shouting loudly and waving the sword in his hand.
After shouting like this, the government officials finally calmed down, but their faces also showed very angry expressions, which meant that they were about to be abandoned. Who is Mr. Zhongguo? He is known as a madman. He didn't see it. Now even King Xiang has to retreat? With them, what can they use to resist?
really.
King Xiang had just become a coward, and Shen Ao, who was riding a horse over there, had already spoken, "I didn't expect that these people are quite energetic. They go around shouting and killing. Even so, this time my Lord is serving The purpose is to participate in the mobilization of new soldiers, and these people will become the first batch of soldiers sent to the front line in Dingzhou."
"Ah! No." Hundreds of government officials were dumbfounded when they heard that they were about to be sent to the front line. They had not received any real military training, and all they usually did was rely on their skin to get out. The people will be afraid of themselves, will buy into it, and can easily achieve their goals.
This piece of skin can scare ordinary people, but how can it scare the Jin army, which is as fierce as a tiger? This is simply a death move.
With a thud, the government officials knelt down at Shen Ao's feet one by one in order to survive. If possible, they would definitely not listen to King Xiang's order and get involved in this matter. They would rather disobey the order, or at worst, get slapped with a few slaps. Even losing this job is better than losing your life next.
