The dawn is still unclear, the imperial capital is full of walls, and the armored garrison stands here.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hoofs, rolling like thunder, and cavalry was crushing from the long street not far away.
There are so many people that they can't see their heads at a glance, but they don't hear the slightest noise.
The all-purple war horses are fat and healthy, and the soldiers on the horses have their backs straight, and the momentum is like a rainbow.
Such an elite army is rare in the imperial capital, only-
The man leading the soldiers was young and handsome, and there was a young girl sitting in front of the horse. She was wrapped in a thick fox fur cloak so that she could not see her face.
The man strategized forward and showed a shining golden order in his hand. The general guarding the city took a closer look and immediately half-kneeled on the ground.
"See Lord Gu Hou!"
Gu Hou Jinling has always refused to go lightly, because something big will happen in the middle of the country.
"I'm the second son of Guhou Mansion. I ordered 500 cavalry to leave the city and open the gate quickly!"
"Quick! Open the city gate!"
The guard yelled, the tall city gate was pushed open from both sides by seven or eight soldiers, and Gu Jiuge galloped out first.
Behind him, five hundred elite soldiers were in order, followed closely behind.
After waiting for everyone to leave, the lieutenant asked: "General, the movement of more than 500 cavalry requires the approval of the Ministry of War. Why didn't you ask the second son for the approval of the Ministry of War?"
The guard squinted his eyes and watched the team of soldiers and horses, "If there is an approval from the Ministry of War that 500 cavalry will go out of the city, how could we not receive notice in advance?"
"You mean... No approval? Then you—"
The guard glanced at him, "What if there is no approval? That is the first-rank general Hou, his Guhou Jin ordered, let alone mobilize five hundred cavalry. Even five thousand, fifty thousand, no one can stop him."
…
At dawn, outside the palace, the carriage of Guhou Mansion had been waiting for a long time.
The gate of the palace opened, and the Yulin Juntong General Mengfei personally went to the side of the carriage and succumbed to the crime, "Guhou Lord, I'm really sorry, the gate of the palace must be opened at this point according to the law. Please wait for a long time."
Gu Huaijiang got off the carriage and said, "It's okay, the palace rules can't be abolished, it's because Benhou came early, and it has nothing to do with Master Meng."
Meng Fei became more respectful, "Your subordinates talk a lot. Is there something important for Master Hou to talk to your Majesty? Your Majesty once said that if Master Gu enters the palace to look for His Majesty, he can not observe the opening and closing time of the palace gate."
"Master Meng has already said this, and Lord Meng has also explained this to Master Meng. His Majesty said this because he was afraid that it would be delayed by an emergency during the war. It is not a war time, and this privilege cannot be used lightly. "
After that, he nodded at him, Meng Fei understood, and bowed respectfully, "Respectfully send Master Gu Hou."
His back was so small on the vast snowy ground, and so stalwart that people dare not look directly at him.
"It snowed all night, and Master Gu Hou was very old, and he still had to wait outside the palace gates like this. After waiting for an hour, his Majesty allowed him to enter the palace in a carriage. He wanted to walk in, alas."
Only such a person who never takes credit for arrogance can take the position of that great general, right
The subordinate on the side said: "Yes, Gu Houye has never taken a carriage into the palace. From his time outside the palace gate, the lord has been persuading him to inform him, and your majesty will open the palace gate to see him. If you refuse, you can't blame the adults. Your Majesty will definitely not blame the adults."
"Nonsense, am I afraid your Majesty will blame me?"
Meng Fei gave him a glance, "Gu Hou's grandeur, you will have to cultivate for at least 20 years to understand!"
When Gu Huaijiang went outside of Emperor Ning's bedroom, he was invited to the side hall to wait for him.
"Master Hou, your majesty just got up and is changing clothes."
He brought the tea up personally, and Gu Huaijiang took it with both hands, "I'm troubled with Father Gao. It's because Benhou came too early and disturbed your majesty's sleep. Your Majesty's sleep is not as good as before, and I was shocked by me."
"Because sleep is not as good as before, your Majesty woke up a long time ago and was not surprised by Lord Hou."
The bead curtain rang behind him, Gu Huaijiang stood up from his seat, Ning Di hurriedly came, "Huaijiang, what happened? I heard that you waited outside the palace gate for an hour, what is the important thing that makes you so eager?"
Gu Huaijiang flicked the corner of his robe, and immediately fell to his knees, and Emperor Ning could not help him.
"The minister ordered five hundred cavalrymen to go to Changzhou. The child Shubai was attacked in Changzhou and his life and death were uncertain, but he escaped back to one of his subordinates. Due to an emergency, he failed to inform the Ministry of War. Out of the city."
Emperor Ning opened his mouth, "When did it happen?"
"It's still early this morning."
Emperor Ning said anxiously: "I didn't ask this. I was talking about when Shubai had an accident? I heard that he and Gu Yi escorted his aunt and Miss Biao back to Jinling. How could he be attacked suddenly? Who would dare to attack him? "
Gu Huaijiang was personally supported by Emperor Ning, and was inevitable, so he could only stand up.
"According to Yan Zheng, a young general who fled back, he returned to the woods north of Changzhou. All forty people led by Shubai were poisoned. He rushed out of the encirclement and came back to ask for help. He fell into a coma soon after arriving at Guhou's mansion. Fortunately, Yufuba He was saved."
"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? The song has gone? I will send someone to escort a few doctors to chase them. What if there is no one if they are poisoned?"
"No need, Your Majesty, Yufu is following the wine song."
