RBCT Chapter 293
Chapter 293
“Driving !!”
Xiao Wuji flicked the horsewhip, slapped it heavily on the horse’s butt, and galloped wildly.
Horses’ hooves trampled, dust flew up, rolling up billowing yellow sand.
Xiao Wouji and his group of five quickly disappeared on the official road.
Yuezhou is already extremely close to the southern border, but the city closest to the border is not Yuezhou City, but Black Hawk City.
Because Black Hawk City was built on the borderline, the place where Black Eagle City is located is the southernmost part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In fact, when the Shangguan clan was in power, Yuezhou was the southernmost part of the country.
Later, the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, and a mutual market was established with Southern Liang, and the two countries communicated with each other, and a fang city was established at the junction of the two countries.
Over time, the market grew larger and larger, gradually becoming a small town, and then from a small town to a small city.
Later, the Great Zhou and Southern Liang went to war, and the Great Zhou won, directly incorporating the small cities established by the mutual market into the territory, and the territorial border was pushed to the south.
Later, this small city was expanded many times and finally became today’s Black Hawk City.
The king of Huainan led troops to guard the southern border, and the royal palace was built in Black Eagle City.
This also shows the belief that the king of Huainan will not retreat.
As long as Black Eagle City is not broken, the Southern Liang army will stop wanting to step into the territory of the Great Zhou.
And if Southern Liang wants to invade the territory of the Great Zhou, he must first kill the Huainan Royal Mansion!
It is precisely because the king of Huainan has been guarding the southern border for ten years that the people of the southern border can live a peaceful and happy life.
Therefore, the prestige of the king of Huainan in the hearts of the people of the southern realm is very high.
The army and people of the southern realm now only know the king of Huainan, but not the emperor.
Xiao Wuji heard that from time to time the Qingliu officials in the court would stand up and impeach the king of Huainan for supporting his own dignity and asking the emperor to cut the domain and seize power, but Emperor Jingtai refused every time.
Emperor Jingtai said that King Huainan was his brother and that he believed in King Huainan.
But thinking about the real situation, Emperor Jingtai was not as relieved about King Huainan in his heart as he said 920, and he was still very jealous of King Huainan.
A clan king with 200,000 troops, no matter which dynasty, generation, or emperor, will not be at ease.
Xiao Wuji and his party entered Black Eagle City, asked passers-by about the location of the Huainan Royal Mansion, and headed directly towards the Royal Mansion.
Xiao Wuji’s trip was not to be an enemy of the King of Huainan, plus the daughter of the King of Huainan was also there, so there was no need to hide her head and show her tail.
Xiao Wouji came to the gate of the palace and saw a magnificent palace standing in the downtown area.
There are two stone lions in front of the palace, with open teeth and dancing claws, extremely majestic and hideous.
There were also two groups of soldiers standing guard in front of the gate.
The soldier’s waist was straight, his left hand rested on the hilt of the knife, his right hand held a spear, his eyes looked straight ahead, and he did not move, like a towering pine tree.
The soldiers all looked resolute, not angry and self-threatening, and at first glance they were veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles.
As the saying goes, get a glimpse and know the whole picture.
Just from the temperament of the soldiers standing guard in front of the palace, it can be seen that the army of the King of Huainan must be well-trained tiger pawns.
And it can be seen from the awe of the passing people to the soldiers that the army of the king of Huainan must be disciplined.
Only an army that truly protects the people can win the support of the people.
Xiao Wuji and the others rolled over and dismounted and walked towards the palace.
The two soldiers at the outermost part of the queue immediately crossed the spears in their hands and stopped Xiao Wuji and his group.
“Stop, this is the Huainan Royal Mansion, and idle people are not allowed to approach.”
A soldier shouted coldly: “Quickly retreat, otherwise we have the right to kill you here.” ”
Xiao Wuji stepped forward and said, “As soon as Lao Ji said that Xiao Wuji, the thirteenth imperial protector of Jinyiwei, asked for a meeting.” ”
As he spoke, Xiao Wouji handed over the Thirteen Taibao token.
“Jinyiwei Thirteenth Taibao?”
The (CHBJ) soldier took the token and checked it, and after confirming that it was correct, he respectfully replied: “Please Lord Qianhu later, and his subordinates will immediately go to report to Wang Ye.” ”
Xiao Wuji said: “Remember to say a word to the King of Huainan, this official also brought the only daughter of His Royal Highness the King of Huainan, the Lord of Xinran County.” ”
“What? Happy County Lord! ”
The soldier’s face changed when he heard this, and the other soldiers in the queue also looked in the direction of Xiao Wouji.
Xia Xinran also stepped forward at this time and took out her carry-on jade pendant.
The royal family Yupei, there is also Xia Xinran’s name on it, the identity is undoubted!
The two groups of soldiers immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted, shouting in unison: “Subordinates see the lord of Xinran County, and the lord of the county is Wanfu Jin’an.” ”
Xia Xinran bowed his head slightly, and said lightly: “Let’s all get up.” ”
“Lord Xie.”
The soldiers stood up, and one of them quickly ran into the palace to report, while the other led Xiao Wuji and the others into the palace.
Xia Xinran raised his chin and glanced at Xiao Wuji, as if to say, “See, without the county lord, you can’t even enter the royal mansion.” ”
Indeed it is.
If Xia Xinran hadn’t been for Xia, Xiao Wuji and his party would have to wait outside, waiting for the king of Huainan to summon them.
It is impossible to go directly in like now.
After entering the palace, Xia Xinran looked left and right, look here, look there, and be curious about everything.
Xiao Wuji smiled and said, “How?” Your royal house? You haven’t been here. ”
Xia Xinran lowered his head and said a little sadly: “I really haven’t been here.” ”
Xia Xinran was born in Jinling City and has not left Jinling City since birth.
Although this royal palace is her home, she has never been to it once.
Everything here is extremely strange to her.
The palace was very large, and Xiao Wuji and the others led through the front yard, corridor, and moon gate under the leadership of the soldiers.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the lobby of the main hall of the palace, Xiao Wouji heard a woman’s voice.
“Gladly, gladly, where is gladness?!!”
Xiao Wuji followed the voice and saw a beautiful woman wearing a gorgeous robe and a golden coat on her head, with a graceful and luxurious face running over in a hurry, her eyes red.
Xia Xinran saw the beautiful woman, her eyes were red, and she immediately called “mother”, and then pounced, and the two hugged each other tightly.
Obviously, this beautiful woman is Princess Huainan.
Princess Huainan covered Xia Xinran’s little face, tears streaming out of her eyes, and said, “My daughter, my mother really wants to kill you.” ”
“I haven’t seen you in so many years, are you okay?”
Immediately looked at Xia Xinran with red eyes, afraid that something was wrong with Xia Xinran.
Xia Xinran only cried and said: “Don’t worry, my daughter is fine.” ”
The mother and daughter hugged each other, and Xiao Wuji looked behind Princess Huainan, where a burly man was walking slowly.
The big man looks only about forty years old, wearing a four-clawed python robe, and he is also following the trend, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, and a four-square national character face, quite a wind and frost color.
When Gu Pan was looking, his eyes were sharp and extremely powerful, and the breath of a superior person rushed to his face.
Xiao Wuji knew that this person was Xia Yuanxiang, the king of Huainan.
Although Xia Yuanxiang looks only about forty years old on the outside, he is actually more than fifty years old. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
Only because Xia Yuanxiang has profound internal strength in his body, his appearance is maintained very well.
In fact, Emperor Jingtai is only seven years older than Xia Yuanxiang, but Emperor Jingtai’s appearance is much older than Xia Yuanxiang.
“Well, what kind of system is it to cry in front of outsiders?”
Xia Yuanxiang walked to the princess and Xia Xinran, coughed twice and said.
“It’s all your fault.”
Princess Huainan slapped King Huainan and scolded, “If it weren’t for your ruthlessness and gladly staying in Jinling City, I wouldn’t have seen my daughter for many years.” ”
“You see that she has lost weight, she doesn’t grow meat on her body, and I don’t know how many grievances she has suffered over the years?”
As she spoke, Princess Huainan’s eyes turned red again, and tears were about to fall again.
Xia Xinran hurriedly comforted, “Rest assured, my daughter is okay and has not been wronged.” ”
King Huainan said helplessly: “King Ben will gladly stay in Jinling City, that is for her good and protect her.” ”
“Could it be that you want Xinran to go to war like her eldest brother and second brother?”
“You dare!”
Hearing that she went to the battlefield, the princess exploded like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and cursed: “If you dare to let my daughter go to battle, I will never spare you.” ”
After speaking, he pulled Xia Xinran away, “Go, gladly, go back to the house with my mother, and let my mother take a good look at you.” ”
Watching the two leave, King Huainan covered his forehead with a helpless expression.
The majesty just now instantly dissipated.
Even Xiao Wouji did not expect that this Huainan King was actually a Wang Ye who was afraid of his wife.
At this time, King Huainan finally noticed Xiao Wuji and the others standing on the side, pretending to cough a few times, straightening his waist, and said lightly: “You are the thirteenth taibao of Jinyiwei, Xiao Wuji?” ”
Xiao Wuji hugged his fist and saluted, not humble or arrogant: “Weichen Jinyiwei thirteenth taibao Xiao Wuji, has seen the king of Huainan.” ”
Xue Hua and Song Limin behind him also saluted respectfully.
King Huainan glanced at Xiao Wuji and said lightly: “Let’s all get up, no need to be polite.” ”
As he spoke, King Huainan walked to the main hall hall, followed by Xiao Wuji and the three.
King Huainan sat down on the main throne and said, “Sit down, don’t be so restrained.” ”
“Wang Ye Xie.”
Xiao Wou-ki said and sat down in the guest chair.
Xue Hua and Song Limin stood behind Xiao Wuji.
Xiao Wuji can sit, but they don’t dare to sit.
King Huainan looked at Xiao Wuji and said, “Your name has long been heard by King Ben, and I heard that you are the first day of the Great Zhou conferred by the imperial brother?” ”
Xiao Wuji’s face did not change color, and said lightly: “The name of the first genius of the Great Zhou, the lower official is ashamed to be a disgrace, it is the emperor’s majesty’s false praise.” ”
King Huainan said with a smile: “Yes, yes, no, what is not false?” ”
“Just tell King Ben, are you the Xiao Wuji you said in the rumors?”
Xiao Wouji nodded and said, “Yes!” ”
King Huainan nodded in satisfaction, “Yes, since it’s you, what’s so humble?” ”
“In the view of King Ben, pretending to be modest is hypocrisy, you are a military general, don’t be like those civil officials in the court, full of benevolence and morality, in fact, one is more hypocritical than the other.”
There was a sense of resentment in these words, and it was obvious that the king of Huainan had long been dissatisfied with the impeachment of him by the civil officials in the court.
This also proves that the king of Huainan also has eyeliner in Jinling, otherwise how to know the situation in Jinling City?
Xiao Wuji was stunned in his heart, he didn’t know that King Huainan was testing him? Still shocking him, he smiled and said: “Wang Ye said yes, Xiaguan remembered.” ”
“Hmm.”
King Huainan nodded, took the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said, “Okay, the gossip is over, it’s time to get down to business.” ”
“You rushed from Jinling to the southern frontier not far away, you should have a mission, right?”
“Tell me, if there is anything you need from King Ben, just bring it up.”
“For your sake, Xinran will be delivered safely to the royal palace, and King Ben can promise you anything.”
Xiao Wuji said, “Wang Ye Haihan, then the subordinate will be straight to the point.” ”
“Jinyiwei found out that there is a bandit entrenchment in Yuezhou, and Xiaguan’s trip is to suppress the bandits.”
“But the subordinate official is short of manpower, so I want to borrow troops from Wang Ye to suppress the bandits, and I hope that Wang Ye can agree.”
