The General Is As Urgent As Law

The message brought by Min Qiu made Xue Ziqin lead 5000 people back to the capital, but Xue Ziqin brought far more than 5000 people.

He took two-thirds of the people with him, and there were only [-] people left in the camp.

Just stationed at the border, this number of people is completely enough.

In other words, the emperor didn't know how many troops the Northern Army had.

Many soldiers were recruited by Xue Changfeng later, and the number reported was very inaccurate.

For example, the soldiers of the Xue family are a group of people who do not exist in the court.

"Min Qiu, why don't you sing a song?" Xue Ziqin sat on the horse bored, and suddenly said to Min Qiu beside him.

Min Qiuben was still staring at the scenery in a daze, and suddenly heard Xue Ziqin making such unreasonable demands.He turned his head, trying to find a little joke on Xue Ziqin's face, but Xue Ziqin really looked at him expectantly.

Min Qiu turned his face away again, pretending he didn't hear it.

"Hey, do you hear that?" Xue Ziqin was not easy to fool.He casually took the horsewhip and poked Min Qiu twice.Xue Changfeng asked them to go back to the capital with "massive momentum", but they can't take so many people to the city, no matter what, they can only march in the suburbs, so Xue Ziqin slowed down his schedule, especially on the official road, deliberately Walk slowly so that more people know about the return of the Northern Army to the capital.

Therefore, more and more time was spent on the road, and Xue Ziqin became more and more bored.Min Qiu was originally a talker, and he didn't know how to chat, and Xue Ziqin didn't know what to talk about, so he came up with the idea in front of him, asking Min Qiu to sing a song to listen to.

Several soldiers who were nearby also heard this, and hurriedly booed: "That's right, Vice General Min sings a song to listen to."

Min Qiu squinted and stared at him, but the soldier relied on Xue Ziqin's pick on the words, so he was not afraid, and started laughing at him.

There is no way to hide, Min Qiu turned back and said to Xue Ziqin: "General...I can't sing."

"You can't even sing?" Xue Ziqin raised his eyebrows, his expression a little displeased.They had been on their way for more than ten days. If they followed the past and walked in a down-to-earth manner, they might all have arrived in Xiangcheng by now.This really depressed Xue Ziqin.

Min Qiu thought for a while, then he could only shake his head and say, "I really don't."

"... Tsk." Xue Ziqin smacked his lips in displeasure, Min Qiu looked at his disgusted expression, and also became unhappy: "Why don't you sing one?"

"Alright, the general sings one!"

"agree!"

Anyway, the soldiers at the back seemed not afraid of death, picked up Min Qiu's words, and immediately changed their positions.Xue Ziqin turned his head slightly, Danfeng's eyes were half-closed, his eyes swept over them, and the scene turned cold.The soldiers coughed a few times and started chatting about other things, as if what happened just now hadn't happened.

Xue Ziqin looked at Min Qiu again, and Min Qiu didn't know which bird in the sky was fascinated.

"How far is it?" Xue Ziqin said, "I feel like I can reach Yanhan Valley."

"Every time I go on the official road, I slow down. It must be slower. I guess there are still two days left." Seeing that Xue Ziqin took the initiative to change the subject, Min Qiu was naturally willing to answer.

But the answer made Xue Ziqin even more unhappy now.He has always been quick to do things, and he hates his mother-in-law the most. Now, because of Xue Changfeng's "great momentum", he is rushing like a walk, which really upsets Xue Ziqin.

After finally waiting until he could go back to the capital, he still had to spend more than ten days on the road.

Looking at his expression, Min Qiu secretly thought about it.Xue Ziqin didn't feel bored. In the past, when he was ambushing his opponent in a war, he never felt irritable even if he didn't move for three or four days.He tentatively asked, "Who is the general rushing to see?"

"Who are you seeing?" Xue Ziqin asked back.

"...meet the general." Seeing Xue Ziqin's uneasy expression, Min Qiu abruptly swallowed the name that was almost on his lips, and replaced it with Xue Changfeng.

Speaking of this, Xue Ziqin added: "The old man is no longer a general, so don't call him wrong in front of outsiders."

"The end will know."

Xue Ziqin was filled with resentment.

When Min Qiu mentioned this, he couldn't help but think of Guo Linchong who died tragically, and how Xue Changfeng borrowed Guo Linchong's body and brought it back to his life.If it is for the sake of the overall situation, Xue Ziqin certainly understands Xue Changfeng's actions; but because of his feelings, he cannot accept it.

The two were silent for a while, and Xue Ziqin spoke again after a long time: "Guo Linchong's corpse..."

The worry on Xue Ziqin's brows was undisguised, Min Qiu said cautiously: "After the palace dealt with it, the general quietly sent someone to bury it."

"Oh, so." Xue Ziqin said indifferently.Instead, he raised his hand and shouted loudly, "Stop, take a rest for half an hour."

Min Qiu immediately turned around on the horse and conveyed the news later. The team of 7000 people was too long, Xue Ziqin got off the horse, and the soldiers behind immediately took Bai Liu to the roadside to graze, and Min Qiu came back after a long time, seeing Xue Ziqin sitting against a tree, he also went over and sat beside him.

The general and lieutenant general rested here, and the soldiers naturally moved back so as not to disturb them.

Min Qiu picked up the water bottle he was carrying and took a sip, then handed it to Xue Ziqin.Xue Ziqin took it out of habit and took a sip.Min Qiu said: "If the general gets annoyed, it doesn't matter if you hurry back from now on."

"Ok?"

"The momentum along the way is big enough, I guess the king has already received the news." Min Qiu said bluntly, "Since the general wants to go back early, then go back early."

"Do you know that you are more timid if you are close to your hometown?" Xue Ziqin asked suddenly.

Min Qiu is a big boss in the military camp by himself every day, even if he is so delicate that he is called Mother Min, he never expected Xue Ziqin to say such a word suddenly.He asked sincerely, "The general still feels homesick?"

"No," Xue Ziqin handed him the water bottle back, "I'm afraid Guo Lin will hate me."

Min Qiu understood instantly, Xue Ziqin didn't dare to visit Guo Linchong.

That day, Jiang also told Xue Ziqin that it was

"He" killed Guo Linchong.If this is the case, then Guo Linchong must have hated him very much before he died.

"General, he won't blame you." Min Qiu said.

Xue Ziqin looked up at him, not understanding what it meant.

Min Qiu continued on his own: "If I die at the hands of the general, at least I have no complaints."

"why?"

"Anyway, that's what it means." Min Qiu said vaguely.

Xue Ziqin didn't ask any more questions, but the guilt in his heart didn't subside a bit.Guo Linchong's death is still vivid in his memory, for a long time Xue Ziqin dreamed of him, probably because of shame.

"Is the general ready?"

"what?"

"The general is always on the side of the third prince."

"I know." Xue Ziqin said, "As long as the third prince dies, he will have to support Xuan'er."

"What does the general mean?"

"If there is no better way, then we have to get rid of it." Xue Ziqin said indifferently, he had no blood relationship with Xue's family, let alone the third prince who had only met a few times during the feast.As far as he is concerned, it is no different from a stranger.

"Why bother." Min Qiu sighed, somewhat helplessly.

"what do you mean?"

"Why does the general do this for him? After all, he is just using the general's power." Min Qiu said.

These words have been held back in Min Qiu's heart for a long time, but now he suddenly speaks out, he feels calm and happy in his heart.If Xue Ziqin wants to be emperor, Min Qiu is of course obliged to follow him to the death.

But thinking of Xue Ziqin doing all these things, even going against Xue Changfeng for the sake of such a person, even though Min Qiu never mentioned it on the face, he still felt that it was not worth it.

Of course Xue Ziqin knew who he was talking about.He has been with Min Qiu day and night for many years, there is no need to hide some things, if Min Qiu insists on asking a reason - "I like him, and he wants to be the emperor, so I will let him be the emperor." Xue Ziqin said frankly.

Hearing this, Min Qiu gave him a meaningful look, but didn't say anything else.He got up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, and turned to feed the horse.

In fact, there is no need for the lieutenant to do such things as feeding the horses himself, just like Xue Ziqin's white willows, there will always be soldiers who will take the initiative to feed them.

Half an hour passed quickly, Xue Ziqin got on the horse first, and said to Min Qiu: "Go and explain to the back, and drive at full speed."

"Yes."

The team of 7000 people, after Xue Ziqin made such a decision, could have traveled for two days, but arrived within one day.In the middle of the night, all 7000 people had arrived at the outskirts of the royal capital. It was really as powerful as Xue Changfeng had said.

Xue Ziqin made arrangements for the people, more than [-] people were stationed in the south and north pavilions, and he brought Min Qiu and more than a hundred people into the city.

In the middle of the night, the gates of the city had been closed long ago, and there was no fighting outside, so the capital of the king was naturally safer. The patrolling soldiers on the city tower were all dozing off, and suddenly they heard the sound of horseshoes running, and they all woke up in fright.

Xue Ziqin stood under the tower and shouted, "Open the door!"

The patrol leader was a little apprehensive when he saw this posture, and it took him a long time to shout from the tower: "The city gate is closed, who is making the noise?"

"I'm Xue Ziqin, open the door for the soldiers of the Northern Army now!"

The captain was so frightened that his legs went weak.But he has no right to open the city gate in the middle of the night.The prestige of the Xue family is naturally known to everyone, so he can only send someone to call the prefect of Xiangcheng to come over.

"General Xue, be safe and don't be impatient!"

Xue Ziqin lost his temper immediately, and said to Min Qiu, "Or just knock the door open."

Min Qiu was confused by his words: "General, this is the capital of the kingdom."

"What happened to the capital? Isn't that what the old man meant? It's so loud."

"...Besides, we didn't intend to attack the city. There is no luggage available now."

"Okay." Xue Ziqin shouted to the tower again: "I'll give you time for a stick of incense, if you don't open, don't blame me for rushing."

The position of the prefect of Xiangcheng may sound like a high status, but in fact, under the foot of the emperor, all the important officials of the court live here, and anyone who comes here may be a few ranks higher than him.

In the middle of the night, someone came to report that the northern army wanted to open the gate of the city. The prefect of Xiangcheng was so frightened that he didn't even put on his clothes, and hurried to the north gate of the city.

Xue Ziqin waited impatiently and kept staring at the gate tower. As soon as the Xiangcheng prefect arrived upstairs, he saw it.

"Give me the torch." Xue Ziqin said suddenly.

Min Qiu didn't know what he was going to do, so he handed it to him subconsciously.I saw Xue Ziqin rubbing the arrow on the torch with his arrow, and the arrow was burned. Xue Ziqin shot the arrow towards the tower.

The Xiangcheng prefect was asking what was going on next, when he heard an arrow whistle, and the official hat on his head was hit by the arrow, nailed to the wall, and burned.

"Hurry up and open the door for me."

"General Xue, open the city gate in the middle of the night...does General Xue have an imperial edict?" He boldly stretched out his head, looked down, and shouted with a mournful face.

Xue Ziqin didn't bother to talk nonsense, and did the same thing, put another arrow on the bow, pointed it at the head of the Xiangcheng prefect, and said: "Can you open it?"

"Come on, open the city gate!" the prefect of Xiangcheng shouted fearfully and anxiously.

Only then did Xue Ziqin put away his bow, and waited for the heavy city gate to be opened, and more than a hundred people rode their horses straight to Xue's mansion.
