The rising sun reflected the dewdrops on the horse's ears in colorful colors. The originally strong horse had lost a lot of weight after running wildly for several days, and a striped rib was exposed on the horse's belly. If it were at this time,
If he let it exert its force, it would probably fall to the ground, so Liu Qiankun had no choice but to give up and lead the horse forward slowly.
Fengtian County was in sight in the distance, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city as soon as he reached the gate of Fengtian County.
"Waist badge!" A soldier who looked like a soldier said solemnly, and the badge with the word "hundred" on his chest was particularly eye-catching.
Although Liu Qiankun was still confused about the writing of the Tianxing Empire, he was always sensitive to numbers and still remembered the words hundreds, thousands, and ten thousand. It seemed that he was a centurion in front of him.
News of the approaching army of King Xiping has already reached Fengtian County. The Tianxing Empire has domesticated a kind of swan. It is slightly larger than a pigeon, but its flying speed is much faster than other birds. It is used to deliver letters.
The tool was extremely fast and was called "Feihu Chuan Shu". Presumably Fengtian County had already received the news from the imperial capital, and a lot of soldiers were dispatched at the gate of the city to check the people coming and going.
Running around for days has already caused a thick layer of plaster to accumulate on Liu Qiankun's face, and his chin is covered with green and black stubble. At first glance, it does not look flattering.
After being slightly stunned, he took out a round metal sign from his waist and handed it to the centurion's hand, saying: "Tell Zhou Da or Niu Geng to come out and see me quickly!" The voice was not loud, but the words were spoken.
The words are clear to the ear.
When the centurion saw the waist badge made of cold iron, his expression suddenly changed, he bowed and saluted, and said: "I don't know that the Imperial Preceptor has arrived. I will immediately inform Captain Niu Wan, please take a moment with me."
!" After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask the soldiers guarding the city to bring a wicker chair for Liu Qiankun to sit on.
When you hold power firmly in your palm, things around you will often change because of it. Liu Qiankun was slightly surprised when he heard that Niu Geng had become the captain of ten thousand men.
In one month, a small groom leader has now become an officer with more than ten thousand people. This world is really crazy.
When I was stunned, I heard a hearty laughter coming from my ears: "Hahaha! Sir, it seems that you haven't forgotten your brothers from Fengtian County!" Needless to say, it was the bastard.
Geng has arrived.
Liu Qiankun stood up, bowed his hands, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for a long time. Your brother has already made a great career. It seems that Qiankun needs to send you a congratulatory gift!" Who knew that this smile would actually cause a few bits of dust to fall on his face?
.
Niu Geng was a straight-tempered man. He strode forward and slapped Liu Qiankun heavily on the shoulder without hesitation. He said, "Look at how anxious you are. Follow me to the governor's house to wash your face first."
, let’s rest for a while, I’m here today because of the blessing of your great brother, the National Master!”
The two of them walked side by side towards the county governor's mansion. Along the way, the burdock made a random introduction to the situation in Fengtian County. He was not originally from the army, but he didn't expect that he had just served as a captain of ten thousand men for more than ten days.
Caught in an imminent war, the resentment in my heart naturally cannot be vented.
Speaking of which, Zhou Da felt even more aggrieved. He said that in a few days he would leave the barren and hard-working Fengtian County to serve in the imperial capital. He never thought that Prince Xiping would personally lead an army to invade the south, and that Fengtian County would become the first gateway to the empire...
…
At this time, Zhou Da was frowning and drinking alone in the hall. Suddenly, he heard a voice singing outside the door: "The leader of ten thousand men, Niu Geng, has arrived!" followed by another voice singing: "The national preceptor Liu Qiankun has arrived!"
Bang! The wine glass in Zhou Da's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and his originally scattered eyes suddenly became radiant.
"Haha, long time no see, Lord Sheriff!" Liu Qiankun walked in with a smile.
Zhou Da stood up in a hurry, with a forced smile on his face, and said: "I wonder what you are doing here, Brother Liu? You are not here to help me guard Fengtian County, are you?" At this point, the smile on his face was
It's a pain, maybe the smile uglier than the cry refers to his appearance at this time!
Niu Geng has become quite familiar with Zhou Da these days, thanks to the friendship he made that day at Xifeng Tower, and now he naturally talks freely.
"I said, Boss Zhou, hasn't the war started yet? Why are you so anxious? When the armies from various counties arrive in two days, they will be able to gather hundreds of thousands of people. If they can fight, they will fight. If they can't, they will run away. Old
I have already prepared some good horses for you, so I won’t lose you when the time comes..."
Unexpectedly, this burdock had already made up his mind to run away before the war started, which really made Zhou and Liu dumbfounded.
"Shut up, I have 50,000 soldiers in Fengtian County. How can I retreat without a fight? Will people see me, Zhou Da, as a joke?" Zhou Da interrupted the bastard's nonsense, but he didn't mean to blame him at all.
Listening to the words of the two people, Liu Qiankun couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He simply explained the purpose of his visit. Zhou Da naturally agreed and immediately ordered to bring Lu Ping's family to the county governor's house for temporary stay.
Qiankun also promised to stay in Fengtian County and fight against foreign enemies together with everyone.
Just when the messenger from Fengtian County arrived at the imperial city, an unprecedented strange thing was happening in the palace.
Since the plan to deal with King Xiping's invasion from the south was initially made that day in the side hall, Chu Tianxing and Master Dongsheng returned to the palace to have a secret talk. Since then, the two have not come out and ordered people to guard the surroundings of the palace all night.
, and no one is allowed to get even half a step closer.
It took three days and three nights for the two of them to walk out of the palace together. Master Dongsheng also excused himself and left. In the following two days, King Chu Tianxing seemed to be a different person. He was depressed and ignored the government affairs all day long.
On weekdays, Baolin and Chu Tian were closest to each other, but at this time, the emperor of the empire didn't have half the aura of a king. No matter who talked to him, he ignored them, his eyes were distracted, as if he was suddenly stupid.
Fortunately, Bao Lin and Chu Li took the initiative to keep the matter secret for the time being. This was also the last resort. If the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China knew about Chu Tianxing's current situation, it would probably cause even greater panic.
At this time, the internal and external troubles were all concentrated on Princess Chu Li, which made her unable to breathe for a while. However, Chu Tianxing's only son was still young and was not old enough to shoulder the responsibilities of a man! Chu Li now only hopes that he can come back as soon as possible.
Bear all this with yourself...
