Volume 1 The Origin of the Wind and Cloud Chapter 174 Late Night Rush
Practicing in the cave without seeing the light of day, unaware of the passage of time, Xiang Yun has no idea what is happening in the outside world!
In the southern part of Fengyun Kingdom, the prosperous and magnificent Dragon City, the Dragon City Imperial Capital, stands like a pearl. The atmosphere today is extremely lively!
The entire Dragon City, with its hundreds of thousands of people, was almost empty at this moment. Everyone gathered at the "Suzaku Gate", the south gate of Dragon City.
Needless to say, there were huge crowds of people on both sides of the city. They were as dense as locusts and like a surging wave.
On the official road outside the Zhuque Gate, on both sides of the road, hundreds of civil and military officials of the Fengyun Kingdom lined up, ranging from the grand master and prime minister of the current dynasty, to the officials and minor officials of the ninth rank in the capital, with official ranks from high to low, in order
Arranged out like a long dragon!
All the officials were wearing official uniforms at this moment, with straight bodies, solemn expressions, and faint excitement on their faces.
From time to time, their eyes glanced to the south, where there was a vast plain a few miles away from the Suzaku Gate!
Everywhere I look, my heart trembles, and an uncontrollable chill spreads throughout my body!
At this moment, on the plain, a bloody aura rose into the sky! The place was crowded with people, as dense as a tide, and a hundred thousand soldiers in uniform lined up in uniform!
Looking around, from the soldiers' armor to the war horses, there was not even a trace of disorder. Everyone's "horses bound their hooves and people held plum blossoms" did not make the slightest sound.
The atmosphere was terrifyingly quiet, but the evil aura that was still frightening even though it was miles away was undoubtedly telling everyone that this was a well-trained army of hundreds of warriors, a tiger and wolf army that killed people like wheat.
!
They are the 100,000 Northwest Iron Cavalry under the Northwest Throne!
It turned out that half a month ago, King Xiang Lingtian, King Xiang Lingtian, asked Emperor Xiang Lingfeng in advance to lead an army to the southern border of Fengyun Kingdom to suppress the South Island Kingdom, Rizhen Kingdom, which was disrupting the southern border of Fengyun Kingdom.
When the night memorial was delivered to the palace, it was already early in the morning. The eunuch on duty at the time, the eunuch chief at the time, and the celebrity in front of the emperor, "Wei Hongying", saw the few people in front of him, a man from the northwest who was dressed in black and dressed in black.
He first stretched out his white palms, covered his nose, and frowned slightly.
Previously, he was taking a nap outside the Chunlai Palace where the emperor was staying. The golden-armored guards in the palace suddenly woke him up and informed him of some urgent report from the northwest, requesting that it be reported to His Majesty as soon as possible.
He didn't hear very clearly at that time. Now that he was a little more awake, he could already see these northwest men who smelled pungently like sweat.
At first glance, Wei Hongying saw that these people were all tall and thick, as strong as calves. At first glance, they looked like big men from the barbarian land in the northwest. How could they compare to the civilized and polite people of Longcheng? He felt that he was already inferior.
Watched for a few minutes.
Immediately he became a little annoyed again and thought to himself: What time is this? In the early hours of the morning, His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine had already fallen asleep peacefully, and at this time you unexpectedly came to play quickly.
And today, I happened to volunteer myself to be on duty as the general manager. I originally wanted to please His Majesty the Emperor and give him sweet dreams.
But at this moment, there is a sudden and urgent memorial. Doesn't it mean that I have to take the memorial, rush in rashly, wake up His Majesty, and disturb the sweet dreams of His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine? Isn't this boring?
He, Wei Hongying, was helpless in the palace and had grown up from a young eunuch to the current chief eunuch. Naturally, he had a delicate mind and was cautious in everything. Naturally, he would not do such stupid things.
Wei Hongying felt a little angry. He rolled his eyes slightly and had already made up his mind. He pinched his thin voice and said to the men.
"Everyone, since the night is deep and His Majesty has fallen asleep, how about you keep this information for now and wait until early tomorrow morning to submit it to me?"
Wei Hongying had already made a plan in his mind. He would definitely not be able to hand over the book tonight. He would have to wait until tomorrow, when His Majesty the Emperor would wake up comfortably, take a bath and change clothes, and go to the morning court before presenting it.
However, I can't accept this discount. If this really turns out to be an urgent matter, if I put it in my hands, wouldn't it be a hot potato and get me into trouble?
If national affairs are delayed and a decision is made by then, I will really have no place to cry.
It would be better to let these people hold it for themselves, and wait until tomorrow when they present it themselves. He can pretend that he does not know about it. In this way, he will neither offend His Majesty nor bear responsibility!
"Wonderful plan...wonderful plan!" Wei Hongying was already secretly praising his own ingenious approach.
However, the next moment a discordant sound came!
"Eunuch Wei, this is an urgent announcement and cannot be delayed. I believe the golden-armored guard has already told you."
Standing in front of a group of tall men, was a middle-aged man wearing a black robe, with a stern face, and a resolute outline like a knife. His voice was deep, giving everyone an irrefutable sense of oppression!
When Wei Hongying heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and his brows furrowed even more tightly. When squeezed, the white powder smeared on his face to cover up the wrinkles immediately fell to the ground like snowflakes.
He thought to himself: "What an ignorant and reckless man, how dare you talk to me like Wei Hongying? Do you think you are the prime minister's concierge or a guest of the grand master? They have to hunch down when talking to me!"
Wei Hongying said with a sneer on his face: "Guys, you guys have come all the way from a bitter and cold place like the northwest. You must be very tired after the hard work of traveling and riding. Why don't you go to the inn to have a good rest, take a shower, and have a good meal?
Come on, it won’t be too late to present your urgent report.”
"Otherwise, if you meet the Emperor like this, not to mention the way of silence, what would you do if you accidentally stun the Emperor? This etiquette... you don't understand, right?"
As Wei Hongying spoke, he stretched out his hand to cover his nose again. When the few eunuchs and guards on duty heard this, they all lowered their heads and snickered, and also covered their noses in the same way.
Wei Hongying's teasing could not have been more intense. A normal person would be able to hear it, and those guys from the northwest could obviously understand it too. If they were ordinary people, they would probably blush and retreat in shame at this moment.
But the men in front of them were extraordinary. Faced with the teasing of Wei Hongying, the eunuch chief, the expressions of the three of them did not change at all, just like a few pieces of indifferent ice.
"Eunuch Wei, this is an urgent secret message and cannot be delayed. I advise you to report it as soon as possible, otherwise it will delay a big event. I'm afraid you can't bear it, father-in-law." The leading man's voice was still low, but his tone was obviously heavier.
a bit.
The reaction of several people was completely beyond Wei Hongying's expectation. The latter did not expect that the other party not only did not retreat despite the difficulties, but his voice was low and somewhat threatening.
This instantly made the popular man in front of the emperor, the eunuch in charge of the dynasty, a little angry.
Normally, the dignitaries in Longcheng, even the Prime Minister and the Grand Master, would speak softly to me, but these few reckless men in front of me, who didn't know the heights of the world, dared to contradict me like this.
Wei Hongying's pink and white face suddenly turned red, which was a sign of his embarrassment and anger.
"Bastard! Your Majesty, your Majesty, are you waiting? In the barbarian land of the northwest, a random letter can disturb you. Don't just stick a green onion in my dog's nose and pretend to be an elephant over some trivial matter. What can you say about a country that is in dire need?
event."
"Your Majesty has a lot of things to do every day. There are so many big and important things to deal with. If you want to report it, just wait until tomorrow! Your Majesty is not free tonight, and neither am I!"
As soon as Wei Hongying got angry, the surrounding young eunuchs and guards immediately stopped laughing, lowered their heads and remained silent.
However, the group of men in black were like wooden and clay statues, and their expressions did not change. It seemed that they did not care about Wei Hongying's anger at all.
As expected, the leading man became a little impatient. He actually held the folder sealed with sealing paint in his hands and handed it to Wei Hongying.
"Eunuch Wei, please submit it immediately!"
Wei Hongying was in a daze, his anger stagnant.
"Father, if your legs and feet are not in good condition, please find someone else to report." The man added!
"you……!"
Wei Hongying's whole body trembled with anger. The word 'you' was said in an extremely sharp manner, which could fully show how angry he was at this moment!
"quick!"
Seeing that Wei Hongying was still dawdling, the man finally frowned, his expression became fierce, and he shouted lowly!
The man shouted, and instantly, an awe-inspiring aura and a bloody murderous aura were released from his body!
Wei Hongying had never seen such momentum before. He was so frightened that he trembled and subconsciously took the memorial. He didn't react until he held it in his hand!
The latter suddenly became furious, his face turned red, he pointed at the man in black, his throat clucked... like a rooster crowing, but he was so excited that he couldn't say a word!
Finally, Wei Hongying simply gritted his teeth and threw the memorial in his hand to the ground!
"I'll pass it on... I'll pass it on to you...!"
The word 'Master' did not come out, and Wei Hongying's words had stopped abruptly, because with his peripheral vision, through the lights on both sides of the stone fence, he accidentally caught a glimpse of three words appearing on the lacquer-sealed secret memorial.
"Side by... the king!"
"Plop...!"
The furious steward Wei Hongying, who had just bared his teeth and claws, was now like a loach with his bones removed, and fell to his knees in an instant. The latter's body was trembling, his hands stretched out, and he tremblingly picked up the memorial on the ground!
"This...this...is...whose memorial is it?"
The man in black had a fierce sneer on his face and a cold voice, "Eunuch Wei, can't you read? Apart from my prince, no one in Fengyun Kingdom dares to call himself the King of Side by Side!"
"Plop..."
This time, Eunuch Wei's whole body was lying on the ground, his heels seemed to be cramped, and he couldn't get up due to the spasms.
Everyone suddenly smelled a fishy smell and saw a puddle of water spilling out from under Wei Hongying.
The latter was so frightened that he peed!
"Quickly...quickly...present it to His Majesty!"
Even though Wei Hongying's legs were cramping and he was incontinent, he didn't dare to delay at this moment. He raised the memorial with both hands and handed it to a young eunuch. He put his hands on the wet ground and struggled desperately to get up!
Finally, His Majesty the Emperor reviewed the memorial that night, immediately approved it, stamped it with a jade seal, and ordered it to be sent back to Northwest Silver City as quickly as possible!
That's how it happened. A few days ago, Xiang Lingtian, the king of the Northwest, led an army of 100,000 and rushed to the capital to take orders to march!
On this day, Emperor Xiang Lingfeng and all the officials lined up to see Xiang Lingtian off in person. The people heard that Xiang Lingtian was the King of Side by Side. The God of War was going to go on an expedition. No need to call for a call. The entire Longcheng was empty and everyone had already arrived outside the south city.
,Send farewell to the King of Side by Side!
When the tall man wearing a nine-clawed golden dragon robe and a golden crown with twelve crowns on his head walked out of the Suzaku Gate side by side with the man next to him who was also tall and tall, wearing a platinum battle armor and a snow-white cloak.
