I really wanted to slap him awake, but I was afraid of hurting his face and making him do something drastic, so I had to start admonishing him with serious words.
"Kid, don't be stupid.
The movement of more than 200,000 cavalrymen could be felt from our side a few miles away as the earth trembled.
But look now, except for the sound of war drums and horns on the city wall, is there any movement of soldiers and horses arriving?
This is all just a fantasy you have.
Find out when you have gone astray, and don’t continue to make the same mistakes again and again!
This has really touched your Majesty’s bottom line. No one will be able to save your life by then.”
Young Master Liu's future daughter-in-law, the already slim princess Li Jingyao, also walked up to Li Ye and stopped, looking at Li Tao worriedly with her clear eyes.
"Brother, listen to my mother and concubine and stop.
Cousin...if cousin had come to help you, he would have come long ago, why did he wait until today?"
Seeing that her brother had pinned his hopes on the future husband with whom she was engaged, Li Jingyao really didn't know what to say, so she could only follow the words of her mother and concubine He Shu to admonish her brother Li Tao.
When Li Tao saw that his mother-in-law and his younger sister were still trying to persuade him, he let go of He Shu's hand and shook his head firmly.
"Concubine, little sister, you have never led a soldier, so you don't know what early warning drums and emergency horns mean.
If there is no enemy situation, using early warning drums to warn people without authorization is subject to military law.
It may be that the imperial scouts discovered the traces of the army, and then the early warning drums sounded.
In other words, even if the soldiers and horses have not arrived now, they will soon come to the city.
Listen carefully to the sound of war drums and trumpets on the city wall
Nine Drums and No. 1, this means that the army is approaching and there is an urgent need.
Nowadays, the situation is complicated and difficult to understand. The two countries of Jin and Turkmenistan have too much time to take care of themselves outside the customs. In addition, Marshal Yun is guarding the border with heavy troops. They dare not cross Shanhaiguan at all, let alone talk about approaching our city of Dalong Capital.
And if Marshal Yun sent troops now, facing the reinforcements from King Qin, why would the imperial army beat drums to warn them.
This also means that only the more than 200,000 elite cavalry left by uncle Liu Mingzhi rushed back to the capital under the command of cousin Liu Chengzhi, which could make the imperial army in the city so nervous.
My cousin never wrote me a reply, presumably because he was worried that the court would intercept him.
However, although he did not reply to the letter, he secretly led his troops to Beijing.
It must be like this, it must be like this.”
Hearing his son's firm explanation, even He Shufeng's eyes flashed with doubt.
Could it be that the son of the man who had repeatedly slighted him had sent troops to Beijing to avenge his father?
At the same time, the four soldiers left behind by Nangong Ye became even more nervous.
Because Li Tao's explanation is completely based on military rules!
Are my brothers and I really going to fight with Paoze, who we fought side by side with in the past, outside the capital?
Li Tao didn't care what the four soldiers thought, straightened his clothes and looked outside the tent.
"Someone is coming!"
"The humble position is here!"
"Instruct the three armies to prepare for war."
"Got the order!"
"Four of you, without an order, you don't dare to do anything to me. Imprisoning me is even more wishful thinking. Don't forget that this is my king's military tent.
Seeing that you are close confidants of my uncle, I will not embarrass you.
Go back immediately to assist your uncle.
It won’t be long before you all understand what our king’s situation is like today!”
The four soldiers looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and ran towards the outside of Li Tao's military camp, stroking their swords.
"Mother, concubine, little sister, in case big brother takes you as hostages, you can rest in my big tent these days."
"Tao'er, you..."
"Come here, please take the concubine down and make her well settled. Her living expenses will be the same as mine."
"Got the order!"
Several soldiers walked up to He Shu's mother and daughter with complicated expressions: "Toffee, Your Highness, please, don't put the little ones in trouble."
"Tao'er!"
"Mother, I will personally take you back after the child enters the palace.
Um!"
Chen Jie was just a delicate woman with no strength, and she couldn't resist the soldiers who received the signal. She could only walk out of the tent with her eyebrows furrowed.
Nangong Ye climbed the city wall in a hanging basket and found Jingyuan Hou Chen Jin, one of the generals who defended the city.
"Jingyuan Hou, what happened, why did the war drums warn?"
"King him side by side...him...sigh...Gong Yong'an, the general doesn't know what to say, or...
Please go to the Rongxing Gate in the north and see it yourself."
The side-by-side king in Chen's mouth made Nangong Ye tremble, and he hurried towards the north gate.
I was thinking in my mind, could this guy Liu Chengzhi lead troops into Beijing?
It takes about as long as a cup of tea.
Nangong Ye and the others finally arrived at the north gate of the capital, having made leaps with Qinggong.
"Master, look!"
Nangong Ye followed the situation of Jingyuan waiting for Chen Jin and looked at it.
A few dozen steps away from the city gate, a man wearing a light blue scholar's scholar's shirt and a turban on his head stood next to a divine war horse.
Holding a folding fan in one hand and a bamboo hat in the other, he was stopping at the foot of the city and looking towards the city wall with a smile.
Nangong Ye looked at the young man's appearance in stunned silence: "Ming...Mingzhi! You...you...you are still alive?"
Seeing Nangong Ye climbing up the city wall, Liu Mingzhi hung the bamboo hat in his hand on the back of the horse beside him, and looked at Nangong Ye on the city wall with a stunned look on his face with a faint smile.
"Uncle, long time no see.
The child had already gone to heaven.
But my father told the Lord of Hell that I have not yet completed my merits and deeds, and it is not yet time for me to return to heaven.
Just let Yin Cha send me back and bring me back to life.
It’s great to be able to see my uncle alive.”
Nangong Ye came back to his senses, looked at Liu Mingzhi with complex eyes, and simply ignored his theory of gods and ghosts.
Mr. Yun was right. There was something really fishy about the assassination of this kid. He was indeed still alive.
It was really his handiwork that the soldiers of the Sixth Guards of the New Army suddenly disbanded and returned to their fields.
Nangong Ye hurriedly looked around and saw no sign of the Six Guards of the New Army, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, remembering the words that the old commander had speculated at that time, my mind suddenly became tense again.
"Ming... Your Majesty, when you come to Beijing this time, you are not planning to rebel, are you?"
Liu Mingzhi closed the Wanli Jiangshan jade fan in his hand with a snap and inserted it into his waist. He took off the Heavenly Sword from his waist and placed it on the ground with both hands. He calmly looked at the many old acquaintances on the city wall.
"Uncle is joking. How can I, the king, plan to rebel?"
Before Nangong Ye could breathe a sigh of relief, Liu Mingzhi's calm eyes suddenly became sharp.
"By entering the capital this time, I am rebelling!"
