He knew clearly that Hua Shikui was using the emperor's name to suppress him, but he had no choice but to bow his head under the roof of others.
Hu Jingtian almost chewed the steel teeth in his mouth to pieces before suppressing the anger in his stomach. He forced a smile and said, "General Hua is serious! Even if I, Hu Jingtian, are brave enough, I would not dare to disobey His Majesty the Emperor's order!" After that, he reached out and took the reins of the horse.
"Hahaha... General Tiger is indeed a talented man who understands current affairs!" Hua Shikui looked up to the sky and let out a burst of unbridled laughter. Hu Jingtian, who only hated it, had a livid face and a murderous look in his eyes.
At this time, when the city guards who were waiting inside the city gate saw this scene, they all had fire in their eyes and hatred in their hearts. Among the 800,000 cavalry under Long De, Hu Jingtian is not only the most respected military commander by Long De, but also the god of war second only to Long De in the eyes of the 800,000 cavalry. The hero in their hearts actually led Hua Shikui's horse. How could this not arouse their anger? [
The soldiers became excited at that time, and they all just wanted to rush out and fight for their lives. Fortunately, the deputy general remained calm and suppressed them with all his strength.
"Soldiers, enter the city!" Sitting high on the pommel horse, Hua Shikui, like a victorious general, raised his spear and let out a thundering roar.
The direct descendants of the Hua family, a million-strong army, slowly entered Xifeng City.
Hu Jingtian first followed Leng Qianqiu's instructions and drew an independent area in the city for the Hua family's millions of troops to be stationed. After entering the city, Hu Jingtian was about to lead Hua Shikui's army, but was stopped by Hua Shikui.
"General Hua, what are your orders?" Hu Jingtian asked in a deep voice.
Hua Shikui snorted, with a serious look on his face, and shouted, "His Majesty the Emperor ordered Leng Qianqiu to come out and receive the order!"
Hu Jingtian frowned and said, "In order to welcome General Hua into the city just now, the city was in a panic. The general didn't know where the military advisor was at this time."
Hua Shikui entered the city and did not see Leng Qianqiu. He was already suspicious. After hearing Hu Jingtian's words, his brows furrowed even more. Before leaving, Hua Jiyuan made it clear that Leng Qianqiu's plans were ever-changing and he must not stay.
"Hu Jingtian, you really don't know where Leng Qianqiu went?" Hua Shikui asked gloomily.
Hu Jingtian shook his head.
Hua Shikui immediately shouted angrily, "Listen to your orders!"
The two lieutenants following Hua Shikui jumped out of their horses at the same time and shouted in unison, "My subordinates are here!"
"I order you two to each lead a team of people to search for Leng Qianqiu's whereabouts in and outside the city. You must find him and bring him to me, life or death!"
Hua Shikui's words made Hu Jingtian's heart sink, and he couldn't help but start to worry about Leng Qianqiu.
The two lieutenants received the order, and each led a team of elite cavalry, together with martial arts masters, to pursue them in two directions.
Hua Shikui turned to look at Hu Jingtian and said coldly, "General Hu, since Leng Qianqiu is not here, you will be the one to receive the order."
Hu Jingtian took a long breath and said, "I will obey your orders!"
Hua Shikui stirred up and shouted loudly, "The emperor's decree. First, all the garrison troops in Xifeng City should lay down their weapons, withdraw from Xifeng City, and gather and garrison outside the city. Hua Shikui is fully responsible for all defenses in the city! Second, Xifeng City The entire city is under martial law, and all people in the city must go home and are not allowed to go to the streets without permission, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"
After reading the emperor's oral edict, Hua Shikui asked coldly, "Vice general, did you hear clearly the emperor's oral edict just now?" [
Hu Jingtian frowned and said, "General Hua, let all my troops withdraw from Xifeng City. This is certainly possible. But what the general doesn't understand is why we are asked to put down our weapons?"
Hua Shikui didn't answer and asked, "You really don't understand?"
Hu Jingtian shook his head, "Please give me some instructions from General Hua!"
Hua Shikui laughed heartily and said, "You don't understand, and neither do I. You can figure it out on your own! By the way, how to get to Longde's palace? I'll just live there!"
Hu Jingtian already hated Hua Shikui so much that his teeth were itching with hatred. When he heard that Hua Shikui was still living in the palace, he was like a balloon filled with air, and Hu Jingtian was about to burst. He gritted his teeth and said, "General Hua, I'm afraid this is not good, right? Now that the prince is not here, how can we occupy the palace without his permission?"
Hua Shikui snorted and said, "This general is an imperial envoy, just like the emperor is here in person. Even if Long De is here, he can't stop me from living in the palace. Stop talking nonsense and lead the way!"
Hua Shikui can be said to be arrogant and arrogant to the extreme. If Leng Qianqiu hadn't repeatedly told him to be patient before leaving, Hu Jingtian would have gone crazy.
Arriving at the Northern Xinjiang Prince's Mansion, Hua Shikui looked up and down a few times, and then said with a bit of sarcasm, "Long De is also a prince after all, how could he expect that the mansion is so shabby, it is only slightly bigger than my toilet. "
"Hahaha..." Hua Shikui's words caused bursts of laughter from his generals.
Hu Jingtian bit his lips tightly, his face was ashen, and he said in a neutral tone, "The prince is diligent and loves the people, and he is the most honest. Apart from his own salary, he has no other income, so he can only afford to live like this." House. Logically speaking, General Hua, your salary is at most the same as our prince. It is really enviable that you can live in such a big house."
Who would have thought that Hu Jingtian, a military general, was also very sharp when it came to talking. As soon as these words came out, all the generals under Hua Shikui immediately suppressed their laughter. Hua Shikui was also very embarrassed and his face turned red.
"General, we caught an assassin!" As he was saying this, a shout came from the distance. Five or six city defenders, escorting an assassin, walked over quickly.
The assassin's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was beaten so badly that he could hardly tell the difference between male and female.
Hu Jingtian only glanced at it and said coldly, "Since he is an assassin, just kill him!"
The five or six soldiers guarding the city were waiting for Hu Jingtian's words. After hearing the order, without even looking at Hua Shikui, they pulled out their swords and were about to chop off the assassin's head.
"Wait a minute!" Hua Shikui suddenly waved his palm, and the strong force of his palm hit the chest of the soldier who drew his sword.
Hua Shi Kui Nai has an innate intermediate level of cultivation. This seemingly random palm is definitely not something that an ordinary soldier can bear. A cry of pain came out, and the soldier spurted blood and flew away far away. Go out, not knowing whether you will live or die.
Hu Jingtian's face changed immediately, and he shouted angrily, "General Hua, what are you doing?"
Hua Shikui didn't feel guilty at all, and just said lightly, "I'm sorry, General Tiger. I was just eager to save people, so I hit a little hard. But your soldiers are useless, I just gave him a light slap. Your soldiers are at risk of death. How can they withstand the invasion of Feitian Kingdom and protect the peace of Longyuan Kingdom if they are so weak?"
Hu Jingtian was so angry when he saw Hua Shikui hurting someone and still speaking so plausibly. He asked in a deep voice, "General Hua actually wants to save this assassin?"
Hua Shikui glanced at the assassin and said, "This is not an assassin, this is my soldier. I really don't understand why General Tiger insists on framing him as an assassin?"
Hu Jing was so anxious that he wanted to vomit blood. He turned to look at the soldiers who had captured the assassin and asked in a solemn voice, "What's going on?" [
Several soldiers guarding the city were already angry when they saw their companions being injured by Hua Shikui. When Hu Jingtian asked, one of them couldn't wait to say, "This assassin killed twelve members of Wang Shizhan's family, a rich man in the East City, and was looting their property." , was discovered by us passing by, and caught him..."
Before the city guard could finish speaking, Hu Jingtian interrupted him with a look of shock and resentment, and asked in a loud voice, "What did you say? There are twelve members of the Wang family, including three ungrown children. Two eighty-year-old old men, could it be that they...were all killed?"
Several soldiers were extremely sad and angry, on the verge of tears, and nodded heavily.
What does it mean to have eyes that are about to burst? This is the expression of Hu Jingtian at this moment. When he thought that this assassin would not even spare the old, weak, women and children, he felt a surge of hatred in his heart. He waved his hand and struck the assassin's Tianling Cap fiercely.
Seeing that the assassin was about to die under Hu Jingtian's palm, Hua Shikui reached out his hand like lightning and pulled the assassin behind him, while holding Hu Jingtian in place with a palm.
The cultivation level of the two people was almost the same. When their palms met, they each took a step back. Hua Shikui didn't wait for his body to stand still before roaring, "Tiger Jingtian, are you crazy!?"
Hu Jingtian glared at Hua Shikui hatefully, and asked through gritted teeth, "General Hua, do you still want to protect such a vicious thief?"
Hua Shikui smiled coldly and said quietly, "The soldiers under your command just spoke one side of the story. How can you, General Tiger, listen to one side of the story? Before making a decision, you must always give my soldiers a chance to defend themselves. This is only fair." Bar?"
After saying that, he ignored Hu Jingtian who was about to go crazy with anger. He smiled slightly, turned to the assassin and said, "You are mine, and I will not let anyone wrongly accuse you! Tell me what the truth is."
With Hua Shikui's support, the assassin immediately became energetic and changed the story of the incident. Instead of admitting that he had killed twelve members of the Wang family, he slandered those Hu Jingtian's men. They insisted that they killed someone and then wanted to frame him. As for the identity of the assassin, he refused to admit it. He pushed four, five, and six, and picked off all the assassins.
After listening to the assassin's distorted story, the soldiers guarding the city were so angry that their lungs were about to explode. They roared angrily and rushed towards the assassin.
But before they could rush forward, several generals beside Hua Shikui rushed forward with swords. For a moment, there was a flash of swords, and the few soldiers guarding the city were caught in the shadow of swords and swords, and they were in danger.
When Hu Jingtian saw this, he subconsciously wanted to rescue him, but Hua Shikui blocked him intentionally or unintentionally.
"General Hua, you..." Hu Jingtian shouted angrily, his eyes almost split open. But Hua Shikui didn't seem to notice, staring at him closely with a sneer.
