The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 390
The weather in the capital at the end of April no longer had the chill of early spring, but rather the heat of early summer.

There is a stone pavilion ten miles away from the Chaoyang Gate in the capital, just like the pavilions outside the big cities, it is a place for dignitaries, literati, poets to see off and welcome them.

But at this time, the pavilion and the outside of the pavilion were full of dark crowds, among them were a group of people wearing bright red official robes, who were only officials of the third rank and above in the capital.

There are even more people wearing green official robes, and these are all Beijing officials below the third rank.

In addition to these people, there were also rows of soldiers with brand new armor standing in line on both sides of the truth. The folds on the clothes were still obvious, obviously they had just been dug out of the warehouse.

On a small hill not far from these officials, there is a group of musicians holding various musical instruments.

The official road next to the pavilion has been cleaned, and it has been re-tamped with loess, and then poured with water, so that there will not be too much dust when the large group of people come over, and it will look more decent.

Now, these people are all doing the same thing, that is, they are all pulling their necks and looking hard at the official road to the east, as if they are waiting for someone to appear.

It's just that these people waited from the first sunrise to the third pole of the sun, and they didn't see the expected figure appearing in their vision.

Some people became impatient and began to complain: "Is there a shadow or not? It's a hot day, and I've waited for a long time. Isn't this a waste of people?"

Someone echoed: "That's right, it hasn't entered the capital yet, and the score is so big. If it enters the capital, it will not be as big as the emperor."

This remark aroused the whispered persuasion of the people next to him: "Brother, keep quiet, misfortune comes out of your mouth."

The person who spoke was not happy: "I don't want people to talk anymore. I'm tossing people up before dawn. I waited all morning and I didn't even see anyone. What's wrong with me complaining? Is this still the world of Daming?" ? My family’s ancestors followed the great grandfather to fight the world and made a lot of contributions, what can a nouveau riche do?”

The persuading person looked at it, sighed, and moved away.

Seeing that the other party was silent, the complainer let out a cold snort and spoke more vigorously, attracting many echoes.But there were also many people who looked at him and shook their heads, standing a little further away.

Standing at the front of the crowd, dressed in a red robe, with a straight back and gray hair and beard, was Xia Junze, the chief minister of the cabinet. The complaints fell on deaf ears.

Behind him was a younger red-robed official with a straight nose and square mouth, bushy eyebrows and big eyes. He was the new minister of the Ministry of War. The former minister of the Ministry of War, Li Zhuyuan, was Xia Junze's old partner and old subordinate for many years.

Hearing the growing complaints over there, he turned his head to look at those people in disgust, and cursed something in a low voice.

Xia Junze in front of him suddenly said, "Do you know the guy who picked the head?"

"Who else can there be except that idiot from Duke Wei's family?" Li Zhuyuan replied, his tone obviously full of disdain for Liu Yao.

"Since he is an idiot, he will bring his own disaster one day. Just ignore him." Xia Junze still didn't turn his head, and only looked at the official road to the east.

After a while, the sun had risen to the mid-heaven, and finally there was movement on the east side of the official road. A group of cavalry in black and black armor emerged from the horizon and rushed towards the waiting crowd.

Seeing this cavalry, the waiting crowd made a commotion from a distance, and as the black-armored cavalry approached, the crowd fell silent, even Liu Yao, the son of the Duke of Wei who had complained the most, was tight Shut up.

From appearing in people's sight to standing in front of them, the pair of cavalry almost took the blink of an eye.

These black-armored knights were all covered in iron armor, even their faces were protected by visors, only a pair of cold eyes were exposed.They rode tall and strong horses, galloping like flying. Although there were not many of them, it seemed that there were only about a hundred of them.But the momentum of 100 people galloping is like a thousand troops, this scene alone makes these officials secretly startled.

The leading iron cavalry wore a fiery red cloak on the back, and a cluster of fiery red and bright helmet tassels rolled up and stretched in the gallop on the helmet. Compared with other iron cavalry, it was obviously the most eye-catching.

When the leading knight galloped ten steps away from the crowd, his horse was still very fast.But he pulled the rein lightly, and the healthy horse under his crotch neighed. He stood up, kicked his two front legs twice in the air, and stopped abruptly when he landed again.

The black-armored knights behind him also moved almost in the same way, in unison, like one person, a hundred knights galloped to a standstill in an instant, without a trace of panic.

Just relying on this extremely sophisticated equestrian skill, these officials were even more frightened.

Xia Junze, the chief assistant of the cabinet, has been in charge of the army for many years, and he understands how elite the cavalry is, so he is even more amazed.

The leading knight did not dismount after stopping his horse, but glanced coldly at the officials present. Everyone who was swept by his eyes felt cold, and had an uncontrollable thought. Feeling about to retreat, many people couldn't help but think of four words: "Teacher of tiger and wolf!"

After scanning around, the leader of the knights locked his eyes on Xia Junze who was standing in the front, and after looking at him twice, he asked aloud, "May I ask, but is it Mr. Xia, the chief assistant?"

Xia Junze clasped his fists and nodded, "It's the old man. I don't know what the general's name is. What's the matter?"

The leader jumped off his horse with a lot of lightness on his legs, walked up to Xia Junze and clasped his fists and said in a loud voice: "This general Zhao Feng, the former commander of the cavalry of the King of Qin, sent a message to Mr. Shoufu in the name of His Highness King Qin. Please borrow a step from Mr. Shoufu." say."

Xia Junze was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and led Zhao Feng to take a few steps to the side where there was no one else.After the two whispered a few words, Zhao Feng clasped his fists together and mounted his horse again. In an instant, a hundred cavalry roared back.

Xia Junze walked back to the center of the crowd, walked in front of the stone pavilion, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang has something to delay and cannot enter the city today, everyone go back."

Everyone was disappointed when they heard the words, but they also suddenly felt relieved.

Even if someone was dissatisfied and wanted to complain a few words, they quickly shut their mouths when they thought of the prestige of the hundred riders just now.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Liu Yao, the unscrupulous Duke of Wei, was one of them. Hearing that he had waited all morning for nothing, he pulled the official hat on his head and said cursingly: "I really treat myself like a master, what are you talking about?" Things are bigger than the emperor's shelf..."

While swearing, the guy flung his official hat to fan himself, and walked towards the carriage of Wei Guogong's mansion parked not far away.

　There is one more.Thank you for the thousand rewards from the head of "Muzhiqibaa" and all the brothers who voted.
