The imperial city was in danger, and the marquis in the west retreated again and again, finally reaching the junction of Wanzhou and Danchang.
Huo Tianxiu was swayed by Yue Feng, and he chased them all the way to the village pier in the suburbs. He heard that a group of people had boarded a boat with a coffin, and he planned to buy a boat to catch up.
However, Qi Liu not only spent money to buy the largest fishing boat, but also spent money to buy all the slightly larger boats.
Huo Tianxiu could only lead a group of subordinates, each of whom boarded a small boat, drifting along the way and narrowly escaped death, and then they arrived at the junction of Wanzhou and Danchang.
He was sulking in his heart and just when he had no place to relax, he happened to encounter the security at the dock and stopped him, scolding him to leave and not allowing him to enter the city.
When Huo Tianxiu revealed the identity of the nine admirals, the soldiers became more and more disbelieving. Originally, they just scolded him to leave. Good guy, after hearing this, they directly drew their swords at him.
After all, the Admiral of the Nine Gates is the commander of the fifth infantry patrol battalion and is mainly responsible for the nine gates of the imperial city. How could he appear here in a wet and embarrassing state!
Huo Tianxiu and his men were riding in the fatal boat, which was shaken to the point of vomiting and diarrhea. However, the boat could not withstand the wind and waves at all, and it capsized completely in the end.
If he hadn't been familiar with the water, he probably wouldn't have been able to get ashore.
Huo Tianxiu resisted the urge to slap the soldier to death, stretched out his hand to stop the subordinate who was drawing a sword from behind, pulled off his waistband and handed it to the soldier for inspection.
"This product looks quite expensive at first glance." After finishing speaking, the soldier raised his teeth and prepared to bite.
"How dare you bite me even though we know each other?" Shi E, the guard at Yanzheng Gate, rushed out from behind and snatched back his belt, pointing the tip of his knife directly at the soldier.
Not to mention knowing Bingzu, I have never met him...
This matter later became a big deal, alarming the commander Mai Zhenjin who was setting up defenses. Although Mai Zhenjin had never seen this waistband, he at least knew the specifications of the palace order.
The belt card looks like it does.
In addition, he was brought to the Marquis through Yin Guangbo's recommendation.
At present, almost all the troops in Wanzhou have gathered here, and the marquises have appeared here. It seems that it is not uncommon for an admiral to come.
Mai Zhenjin can be regarded as a person who has seen the world. Last year, Xiao Zimu was besieged in the mountains, and it was he who sent the troops.
Now that Lord Marquis is stationing troops here, he doesn't need to think too hard to know that something big must have happened again.
As soon as he thought about this, he respectfully took Huo Tianxiu and his party to meet the Marquis.
Huo Tianxiu was really shocked when he heard that Mr. Hou was here.
But the Marquis was not surprised when he saw him. He just teased him about how he ended up in such a depressed state. After Huo Tianxiu changed his clothes again and the two exchanged information about each other, they finally thought that they had been fooled by the other party. A big jump.
At first, the Marquis could not receive a reply from Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai, and thought they had forgotten about their reunion after a long separation.
However, the letters sent in the past few days were all about serious matters, but they still failed to come to light, which meant that the Marquis had to worry about whether something had happened in the capital.
Now I happened to see Huo Tianxiu, so I went straight to the point and asked him first. After asking, I realized that Yuefeng had blown up Xishan and took away a coffin. The emperor ordered Huo Tianxiu to pursue Zhengfa and bring back the coffin.
Huo Tianxiu also learned from Lord Hou that the person who bombed the Western Mountains was actually the regent of the Western Regions.
What was even more shocking than this news was that the Gu family army had surrendered to the Western Region. The two of them had discussed it. Now that Yue Feng was unable to catch up, the main business was to recover the Gu family army. The Marquis had originally planned to invite you to the urn tonight. Now Huo Tianxiu's unexpected arrival has invisibly added icing on the cake to this plan.
The Marquis has been giving in continuously in the past few days, and also ordered various cities along the way not to resist, just so that the Gu family army can relax their vigilance and move into the mansion after entering the boundaries of Wanzhou.
Sure enough, Gu Duanfei was very tired from traveling for days. He didn't enjoy the happiness of the day after taking over the Gu family army, so he hurriedly led the army on the road.
At first, he could still feel lucky that he had transformed from a commoner to the general of the Gu family army, and he was extremely grateful to Concubine Li.
As time went by, even though I didn’t feel resentful about running around in the past few days, there was still a hint of complaint.
Especially a few days ago, he had just been given bossy orders by Yue Feng, and he felt aggrieved.
Thinking that he led the Gu family army of 200,000 people, but was ordered and reprimanded by the regent army of less than 100 people, and they knelt down and bowed to him, no one would feel too happy.
Today I arrived at Wanzhou from Danchang. The magistrate of Yigang welcomed him into the city politely and treated him well. During the banquet, he was cordially invited to stay in his mansion.
Miao Heng felt that this move was very inappropriate. It was taboo to live in separate places from the army, so he kept nagging in his ears for a long time.
Gu Duanfei was already hugging him and drinking. The beautiful girl in his arms twisted her waist and clung to him. She said in a charming and gentle voice, "General, the servants don't want to go to that tent." Come on, there are so many people here, how can I wait for you at night?"
Another beauty also wrapped her arms around his neck, and breathed into his ear angrily: "General, there are many new things in the prefect's room, and there is nothing better than a tent..."
When Gu Duanfei heard this, his eyes lit up.
"I didn't expect that you looked so well-dressed, but you turned out to be so good at playing..." Gu Duanfei raised his eyebrows and looked at the prefect, with a lewd smile on his lips.
Magistrate Yigang looked very embarrassed. He could neither say no nor wanted to say yes, so he could only lower his eyes slightly and nodded.
Gu Duanfei immediately waved his hand and asked Wei Feng to drive Miao Heng out for the first time.
He had been in despair for a year, hiding here and there, and now he was the general of the Gu family. He hadn't eaten meat in a long time, and he was already salivating. If Miao Heng came to stop him at this time, there was no way he could stop him.
Gu Duanfei was drunk and well-fed and was surrounded by warblers and swallows as he headed to the mansion. Seeing this, Miao Heng could only send some accompanying military attendants to protect his safety, but deliberately left Wei Feng behind to prevent him from following him.
Wei Feng had no intention of following him, so he smiled at Miao Heng and agreed readily.
Miao Heng was struck by his sudden smile, which made his hair stand on end. He immediately rushed to catch up with Gu Duanfei and his group, as far away from Wei Feng as possible.
Unexpectedly, Wei Feng stopped him in a flash and bowed to him: "It is a taboo to live in two places separated from the main army. Military Master Miao, let's go back to the tent together."
Miao Heng's breath was stagnated due to his teasing, but Wei Feng honestly said that there was nothing wrong with him.
Plus, it’s okay if he doesn’t listen to the corner where Gu Duanfei is going to be tonight.
Therefore, although his expression was not very good, he rolled his eyes at Wei Feng and snorted coldly, and then returned to the army's tent with him.
