Chapter 524 Missed
On the wide official road, a sentry horse came galloping, the whip in his hand shook in the air, making a crisp sound, the knight on the horse shouted loudly for the people on the official road to get up Get off the road and to the sides.
This made people walking on the official road very dissatisfied.
This is Danyang, at the feet of the Emperor. Who are you? You want us to give way just by talking?
At that moment, someone stood in the middle of the road, shouting at the sentry riders. Judging from their attire, it was obvious that they were not ordinary people.
"The road is facing the sky, everyone goes to one side. Which family of you are so arrogant? Are you driving the people away? Do you still have the laws of heaven?"
The knight on the horse looked at the man standing on the road and laughed loudly. : "The Southwest Zhizhi envoy Na Wei Na came to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit. A certain family advises you to give in, otherwise don't regret it!"
"Haha, he is just the leader of a Yi tribe. He is really big. You know, Xiang Hui, the censor of a certain family, wants to see how powerful this southwest official is. What kind of authority does he have? This is transgression, and a certain family wants to join him!"
< br>Officials at Yushitai have always been low-ranking and powerful. They have a pen and a mouth and have no scruples. Those in power can't do anything to them. They are ruthless and mean-spirited. Your reputation is on your head, so don't do anything, these people are so annoying.
So under normal circumstances, no one likes to provoke officials from Yushitai.
The knight saw the young censor blocking the road, but he did not step forward to embarrass him. He just turned the riding crop in his hand and said with a smile: "If you like to block the road, then block it, but don't regret it."
While he was speaking, at the turn of the road behind him, several flags jumped out. Looking at the soldiers holding the flags, their faces and attire were very different from the well-known Chu people.
Everyone just glanced at these people for a moment, and their eyes were involuntarily attracted to the huge creatures behind the knight.
That is something Danyang people have never seen before.
There is a body almost as tall as two people, with a long nose swinging around, and a wooden frame on its broad back, and in the frame, several soldiers are sitting on it.
One such guy has already filled the official road. Looking back, seven or eight of these giant creatures are stepping on the ground and marching proudly.
Perhaps he saw someone in front of the road. The long-nosed animal at the head looked up to the sky and hooted, causing the seven or eight companions behind him to hoot in unison. Many horses, mules, etc. on both sides of the road. The donkeys became restless, and their owners held on to the reins tightly, and some even blindfolded their horses.
The young imperial censor in the middle of the road was not so lucky. He originally wanted to scold in public the southwestern envoy who had just arrived in Beijing and did not understand the rules to boost his reputation. The Zhizhi envoy was actually just the leader of a barbarian tribe. There would be no consequences if he rebuked him. The imperial censor, who had a good idea, never expected that he would be greeted by something like this that he had never seen before. of behemoth.
Before he could react, the donkey under his crotch turned around and ran wildly down the road amidst the braying of those giant beasts. No matter how the censor pulled the reins, the donkey But he just whined and ran away. His embarrassed appearance made the knights on the official road laugh in unison.
Among the crowd of onlookers under the road, the three people who had just been sent off were also among them.
"Mother Rong, how are you? You look so majestic!" Cheng Zhen, who was tall, held his arms and looked at the slowly advancing team on the official road with a smile and said to Shang Rong, who had three long beards next to him. "This great arrogance is bigger than that of our Prime Minister. I think only His Majesty can compare with him."
Shang Rong, who was in his early forties, snorted: "A bunch of people who don't know etiquette." Why do you want to let him be so arrogant for a few more days?"
"It's not easy!" Cheng Zhen spread his hands and said, "See. Are these his soldiers capable of fighting? "
"Can you tell this?" Qian must have asked, "You haven't fought against them? "
Cheng Zhendao: "You can tell at a glance whether you are a good person or not. Why do you need to fight? Just like the honor guards around our Emperor, they are all tall and big, with arms that can run horses. , the fists are bigger than the bowl, but if we really fight, the ordinary-looking gatekeepers around the Queen Mother can kill them and make them cry for father and mother!”
"Shut up!" Shang Rong said: "You have a bad mouth and you don't know how to restrain it. You will suffer from this mouth in this life."
"I suffer from your mouth and your broken pen." How can you be better than me? We are two miserable brothers. If you don’t talk about my scars, I won’t talk about your numbness!”
Looking at the two people bickering, Qian must have a sad face and said: “You two. Everyone deserves it. I didn't do anything, but just because I had a drink with you and listened to your complaints, I was sent to that southwest place. It's really unjust!" "Put it down! Cheng Zhen snorted coldly: "You spend half of the year digging in the woods over there, and you managed to gain some fame in the southwest. You used to spend your own money, but this time it's at public expense." , and I am your bodyguard, are you afraid that you can wake up laughing even if you fall asleep?"
Qian must have heyed, but he couldn't control his pretense, laughing. got up.
Shang Rong sighed: "Although the Queen Mother is very powerful, she has to be convinced when doing things and employing people. I am very contradictory now!"
"What is there to be contradictory about!" Cheng Zhenque He disagreed: "For the good of Da Chu, I, Cheng, will support it, otherwise, I will oppose it!"
Qian Bing hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Brother Cheng, if one day, the Queen Mother wants to Do you support being the emperor?"
Cheng Zhen looked at Qian Ding in shock and said after a while: "I definitely don't support it."
"But if the Queen Mother becomes the emperor, it will be the best for Dachu. Okay?”
The three of them looked at each other and fell silent. After a long while, Shang Rong said: "It's useless to talk about this now. Let's finish the affairs in the Southwest first. When I become the envoy of the Southwest, you, Cheng Zhenneng, will be in charge. Only the military in the southwest is qualified to talk about these things."
"Let's go, let's hurry up and not let down the court's expectations of us."
" Once the Southwest reform is completed, we will leave our name in history.”
On the official road, in a huge carriage pulled by four horses, there is a great heart. Feeling this, I opened the curtain and looked outside. On both sides of the official road, there were densely packed crowds watching the excitement. The chaotic and noisy sounds coming from the ears were all talking about the eight elephants opening the way in front of them. It didn't mean anything to him, the history of the establishment of the capital. People care.
After looking at it for a moment, Na Wei lowered the car curtain.
Na Wei just passed by Shang Rong, Cheng Zhen and Lu Dingding.
In the long pavilion, Jiang Qian and Li Dachui were also looking at Na Wei's team.
"How do you feel?" Jiang Qian asked.
“Those elephants are quite majestic!” Li Dachui replied.
"That's Na Wei's elephant soldiers, which are extremely powerful. It can be said that most of Na Wei's reputation in the southwest is due to his elephant soldiers. This time Na Wei brought a total of Dozens of elephants can give He Zudao a surprise.”
Li Dachui disagreed: "It's useless! This kind of elephant soldier is difficult to train and expensive. It looks majestic. If it really goes to the battlefield, there are a hundred ways to defeat it in an instant. Hehe, it can be done in a jungle like the southwest. It’s not easy to show off your power here.”
“It’s easy to break?”
“Just let it be frightened. This thing is too timid. Very."
"How do you know?" Jiang Qian asked suspiciously.
“I heard what others said!” Li Dachui laughed dryly.
