Tang's dining table

Yun Chu had just poured water, and like a frightened donkey, Xu Jingzong drove the carriage very fast, and hurried to the military camp where Yun Chu was escorted by a large group of generals.

At this time, Yunchu had just changed his clothes and put on a pair of baggy pants, and was sitting naked under a tree drinking tea.

Seeing Xu Jingzong arriving in a hurry, he frowned.

He didn't like to see Xu Jingzong, but when Xu Jingzong saw him and the miserable government soldiers who were being drilled all over the ground, he felt a burst of joy for no reason.

Before entering the military camp, he asked the Zuowuwei people and learned that Yun Chu was running around with this group of soldiers during this period. At this time, seeing Yun Chu wearing the usual dress in the military camp, he couldn't help but grow out. One breath.

After all, he was the prime minister. Yun Chu stood up to greet Xu Jingzong while waving his cattail fan. As soon as he saw Xu Jingzong, he said: "Sun Chengqian, the governor of Luozhou, and Jiang Yucheng, don't drive Pei Yong to be beheaded in the Luozhou governor's office."

When Yun Chu heard this, he sneered and said, "Didn't you say that this is not a big deal?"

Xu Jingzong shook his head and said: "This matter is extremely strange. Sun Chengqian and three others should be killed according to the law, but His Majesty spared their lives in order to calm the matter.

As a result, in broad daylight, twelve soldiers broke into the governor's office and beheaded him in public. Their heads were nailed to the lintel of the governor's office. This was a demonstration to His Majesty. "

Yun Chu laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "I didn't expect there are such heroes in Luoyang. I'm eager to see them."

Seeing Yun Chu's proud smile, Xu Jingzong said coldly: "Since it was not Marquis Yun who took action, I can rest assured."

Yun Chu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and immediately said angrily: "I thought you were here to drink tea, but I didn't expect you were here to investigate a case?"

Xu Jingzong said: "I'll check, you still have room for evasion. Your Majesty comes to check, you will die without a burial place."

Yun Chu said angrily: "What have I done? You want me to die without a burial place?"

Xu Jingzong pointed to a group of troops who had just entered the military camp and said, "His Majesty's people are here."

Yunchu saw from a distance that the person coming was Zhang Donghai from Baiqisi, and he shouted: "Come quickly, the murderer is Xu Jingzong, the prime minister of the dynasty!"

Xu Jingzong scolded: "Be more serious. Your Majesty is so angry and heartbroken that he fell ill again."

When Yunchu heard what Xu Jingzong said, he immediately put away his cynical attitude and said worriedly: "How can a good person withstand such stimulation?"

Zhang Donghai came to Yunchu, raised a gold medal and said: "Lantian Hou Yunchu listens to the order."

Yun Chu stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Weak minister Yun Chu listens to the order."

Zhang Donghai said loudly: "Your Majesty asked Yun Chu, where were you three moments ago?"

Yun Chu said in a deep voice: "Three moments ago, Yun Chu was training at the military training ground."

Zhang Donghai said: "Your Majesty asked, is there any witness?"

Yun Chu frowned and said: "Five thousand soldiers can prove it. If it is not enough, Zuowuwei Military Academy can prove it. If it is not enough, Prime Minister Xu Jingzong can prove it."

Hearing what Yunchu said, Xu Jingzong looked at Yunchu, originally wanting to tell the difference, but he didn't know what he was thinking, but he kept silent.

Zhang Donghai said: "Your Majesty's questioning is over."

After finishing speaking, he jumped off his horse and hurriedly came to Yun Chu and said: "Three moments ago, the governor of Luozhou, Sima, Biejia was assassinated by twelve heavy-armored knights at the governor's office."

Yun Chu walked around Zhang Donghai and said, "Are you sure that twelve soldiers killed the governor on the spot in the governor's office in Luoyang City three-quarters of an hour ago, Sima, please leave?"

Zhang Donghai followed Yun Chu in circles and said, "That's true."

Yun Chu looked at Zhang Donghai suspiciously and said, "Where are the soldiers?"

Zhang Donghai frowned and said: "Escape without a trace!"

Yun Chu said: "You mean, twelve heavy armored knights disappeared without a trace after killing three officials in the city?"

Zhang Donghai nodded repeatedly and said, "That's true."

Yun Chu turned around and said to his generals: "Twelve men put on armor and mounted their horses."

In a short time, twelve Tang Dynasty heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor arrived in front of everyone.

Yun Chu pointed at the twelve armored soldiers and asked Xu Jingzong and Zhang Donghai: "Are you sure these are twelve heavy armored cavalry?"

Zhang Donghai nodded and said, "That's true."

After Yun Chu and Xu Jingzong walked around the group of cavalry, they looked at each other. Yun Chu then asked: "You didn't find such a big target?"

Zhang Donghai said with some embarrassment: "I really didn't find it. I also asked the city gate guards, but I didn't see the twelve cavalrymen leaving the city. According to the officials of the Governor's Office, those people seemed to have gone to the inner city, but the Jinwu Guards in the inner city were not there." I didn’t see any twelve soldiers entering the inner city.”

Yun Chu seemed to have lost all intention of getting to the bottom of the matter and said to Zhang Donghai: "Xu Gong said that His Majesty is unwell. Please ask General Zhang to say hello to Your Majesty on my behalf. In addition, please help me report to the Queen whether Yun Chu is allowed to wear armor and sleep with Your Majesty." guard."

Zhang Donghai agreed and hurriedly took the people back to recover.

Yun Chu looked at Xu Jingzong worriedly and said, "I want to enter the palace and serve as your majesty's guard. Mr. Xu can ask your majesty for orders on my behalf."

Xu Jingzong asked: "What are you doubting?"

Yun Chu looked into Xu Jingzong's eyes and said, "It's exactly what Mr. Xu thought."

Xu Jingzong said: "You know what I'm thinking, but I plan to stay in this military camp, and I would like to ask Marquis Yun for permission."

Yun Chu said: "At this moment, it is not the time for us to retreat. A certain family wants to enter the palace to protect His Majesty. Will Mr. Xu be willing to go with me?"

Xu Jingzong shook his head and said: "If you are fifty years younger, I will naturally bear the responsibility. At this moment, I am already old and no longer as brave as I used to be."

Yun Chu looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "Even though I am a three-foot-tall boy, I still have the responsibility to protect His Majesty when disaster strikes."

Xu Jingzong showed a smile that was indeed missing a few teeth: "Marquis Yun is young, so he is the Marquis of Guannei. It seems that he not only has outstanding merits, but also knows how to be an official.

If I had had the ability of Marquis Yun back then, I would have cracked the earth and made him king long ago. "

Yun Chu said angrily: "You can go or not."

Xu Jingzong shook his head resolutely and said, "I won't go. I feel the cold occasionally, so I plan to borrow a quiet room in Marquis Yun's military camp to adjust my breathing for a day."

Yun Chu was about to speak when suddenly there was a violent roar from the Mang Mountain not far away, and then, a column of black smoke rose into the sky.

"Gunpowder?" Yun Chu screamed in surprise, and before Xu Jingzong could react, he threw the old thief into the carriage and shouted at the generals: "Put on my armor and bring my weapons over here."

Under Xu Jingzong's puzzled gaze, Yun Chu, with the help of his family generals, finished dressing up in almost the shortest time. He held up his horse and said to Xu Jingzong: "The first priority is to protect His Majesty now. Are you going?" go?"

Xu Jingzong sighed and said: "Go, go, go."

What happened in Beimang Mountain? Yun Chu didn't care about management. He not only took his family generals with him, but also took Xu Jingzong and his family generals with him. He even took away the Zuowu guards and horses who guarded these useless soldiers. More than half of it.

On the way, they also encountered several troops who were heading to Beimang Mountain to investigate the cause of the explosion, and were also led by Yun Chu to the gates of Luoyang City.

A group of thousands of heavily armed soldiers and horses came towards Luoyang City in billowing smoke. They heard a low trumpet sound from the top of the city. Then the suspension bridge on the moat was raised high, and all the city gates were closed. A dense crowd of soldiers appeared, with bows and arrows pointed at the approaching soldiers and horses.

Yunchu's family generals came to the city on horseback, held up Yunchu's token and shouted towards the city: "Lantian Marquis, Wannian County Magistrate Yunchu, Gaoyang County Duke, Zhongshu Ling Xu Jingzong come to defend our emperor. "

After a moment, Cheng Chumo, the general of the Jinwu Guard, appeared at the top of the city. He looked at Yun Chu indifferently and said, "Your Majesty, are you coming to defend your Majesty? It's not necessary. Leave immediately."

Yun Chu slowly urged his horse forward, looked at Cheng Chu at the top of the city and said silently: "Let General Qibi Heli come out and speak."

Cheng Chumo still said coldly: "The general doesn't see you."

Yunchu was furious, he drew his bow and arrow and pointed it at Cheng Chu, silently saying: "Twelve fully armed soldiers killed officers in the day and disappeared in the Sixteenth Guards Station. A certain family is preparing to enter the city to defend His Majesty. You are making things difficult for me. You Want to rebel?"

Cheng Chumo was not afraid of Yun Chu's bow and arrow, and sneered: "You are using force to break the law, who is rebelling?"

Yun Chu slowly loosened the bow string and said silently to Cheng Chu at the top of the city: "Don't treat me as an enemy. If you are still my minister of the Tang Dynasty, you should quickly lead your troops to defend the imperial city and find the thieves on the spot. Kill, instead of using your words to me here."

As he spoke, he slowly retreated to a stone's throw away, waiting for Cheng Chumo to report the situation here to the emperor.

Xu Jingzong saw the anxious look on Yun Chu's face, and the bay-red horse under his crotch was also pawing the dirt with its hooves impatiently. Both the people and the war horse under his crotch seemed to be worried about the emperor's safety at this time.

"Do you really care about His Majesty's safety?" Xu Jingzong couldn't help but ask.

Yun Chu nodded and said: "The good times for the people of the Tang Dynasty have just begun, and your Majesty's safety cannot be compromised."

Xu Jingzong said: "There are soldiers and horses from the Sixteenth Guards."

Yun Chu sneered and said, "What I'm most worried about now is the sixteen guards and horses who command the world's soldiers."

Xu Jingzong grinned and said, "You will offend all the Sixteen Guards with your behavior."

Yun Chu said anxiously: "Your Majesty should not have abandoned Chang'an and come to Luoyang. Such nonsense would happen in Chang'an."

Xu Jingzong scratched his chin and said: "Junhou, don't involve yourself just to do tricks. We are all people watching the tricks, not people performing the tricks."

While Yun Chu was chatting with Xu Jingzong, Zhang Donghai suddenly appeared at the city gate and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, and he orders Xu Jingzong to pay an audience to Yun Chu."

As he spoke, the suspension bridge on the moat was lowered, and the side door of the city gate opened, allowing only one carriage to pass.

It seemed that the emperor only allowed the two of them to enter the city, and had no intention of allowing more than a thousand people to follow them.

Yun Chu estimated that Di Renjie and the others should have run away, so he urged his war horses to enter the city together with Xu Jingzong's carriage.

Cheng Chumo was at the gate of the city. When he saw Yun Chu fully armed, he roared at him: "Remove your armor!"

Yun Chu's horse pole spun around in a circle and then stabbed Cheng Chumo's throat fiercely. Cheng Chumo waved the horse pole away, but Yun Chu's horse pole bounced twice on his horse pole, each time heavier than the other. It actually made the horse bow in Cheng Chumo's hand bounce up. Just when his horse bow turned into a bow, Yun Chu's horse bow brushed against Cheng Chumo's horse bow and thrust forward tenaciously.

Cheng Chumo reluctantly turned sideways, and Yun Chu's horse spear stabbed his armor, piercing the armor on his shoulder hard against the flesh.

Yun Chu shouted and exerted his strength, picked Cheng Chumo up from his horse, then slammed him to the ground, spat and said: "With your ability, you are worthy of having me remove my armor."

Xu Jingzong looked at the arrogant Yun Chu and sighed: "You are completely giving the Sixteenth Guard no face at all."

Yun Chu looked at Cheng Chumo, who was dying of shame and anger, and said, "If it was Mr. Lu back then, I wouldn't have dared to say such a thing. How about him? It's not as good as Mr. Lu back then."

After that, the bay-red horse stepped over Cheng Chumo's body, and slowly walked toward the imperial city with Xu Jingzong's carriage.

At this time, not a single local could be seen on the wide Luoyang Street. Only Yun Chu and Xu Jingzong's two-wheeled carriage headed towards the inner city at the end of the long street.

See you tomorrow
