Chapter 545: Receive the imperial edict on the way
Liancheng hurried all the way back to Lianyun Kingdom. Before he reached the Lianyun border, he saw a dark area in front of the border city gate from a distance. A large number of well-trained troops rushed out of the city! The powerful formation made him very uneasy!
In front of the leader of the hundreds of thousands of troops are three middle-aged men wearing armor and riding war horses. The man in the middle riding a war horse is wearing a dark armor, holding a spear, and is riding a war horse towards Liancheng.
"I have not yet seen His Highness the Crown Prince." The man in armor dismounted from his horse, ran to Liancheng's horse, knelt on one knee and clasped his fists with his hands and said respectfully: "I have been waiting for you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for many days!"
Liancheng tightened the reins in his hands, and the horse under him looked up to the sky and neighed, its front hooves galloped in the air, jumped on the ground several times, and finally stopped in front of the armor-clad general, "General Ouyang, what is going on? Is there any way for the army to leave the country?
A war breaks out?"
General Ouyang raised his head and looked at Liancheng who was riding on his horse. He immediately stood up and took out a bright yellow imperial edict, "The emperor issued an edict to send out troops. Please accept the edict from His Highness the Prince!"
Liancheng frowned and looked at the dark army in front, full of doubts. Didn't his father's letter say he was seriously ill and lying on the bed? How could he suddenly issue an order to send troops!
Did he send troops to attack Beiteng? Why didn't his father discuss this matter before he went to the imperial court?
He immediately got off his horse, walked to Ouyang Kun, and received the imperial edict, "How is your father's health? Can the doctors give you a good treatment?"
Ouyang Kun bowed his head and said respectfully: "The emperor is seriously ill on the bed. He has ordered the general to wait here for His Highness the Crown Prince. He will only wait for His Highness the Crown Prince to lead the troops to fight and return home in triumph soon. The Emperor's illness will naturally be cured without medicine!"
Cure all diseases!"
Liancheng frowned and opened the imperial edict. When he saw the contents of the edict, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. "General Ouyang, what is going on with this edict?"
He couldn't believe that his father's imperial edict actually asked him to lead the army and conquer the imperial dynasty!
Before leaving Lianyun to go to the dynasty, he thought that this trip to the dynasty might bring war to the two countries!
When he saw that Lianyue's marriage to the dynasty was successful, he did not think too much about it, thinking that his father was very satisfied with the marriage and would not go to war with the dynasty.
Unexpectedly, the thing he least wanted to happen happened!
Ouyang Kun glanced at the imperial edict in Liancheng's hand, then looked at Liancheng and said respectfully: "Your Majesty has issued an imperial edict. We will lead the troops out of the country to await His Highness the Crown Prince. Please lead His Majesty the Crown Prince to lead the troops to attack the dynasty's territory and open up the Lianyun Kingdom."
The country rules the world!"
Liancheng put away the imperial edict, looked up at the advancing army, frowned a little, looked up at the sky, and said: "Immediately give the order, the army should stop advancing and camp on the spot!"
Ouyang Kun frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but in the end he just cupped his fists and said, "The general has not accepted the order."
Immediately, he jumped on his horse and galloped towards the army running behind him. He raised his long arms and said in a deep and loud voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given an order for everyone to stop advancing and camp where they are!"
After the order was given, the well-trained troops immediately stopped, and a majestic and resonant voice resounded through the sky, "See His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Liancheng rode on horseback and rushed into the army. Hundreds of thousands of troops were kneeling on the ground in an orderly manner. The formation was overwhelming and the darkness was endless as far as the eye could see!
He was walking in the army on horseback, looking down at the hundreds of thousands of troops, "Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while. You are the best and most elite army of our country, Lianyun. This attack on the dynasty will not let me, Lianyun, down."
When you triumph, the three armies will be rewarded and their military pay will be doubled!"
A pair of sharp and majestic words, using ten levels of skill, conveyed the intimidating voice to the ears of every soldier, hitting the heart.
"The Yun Kingdom will win. If the dynasty is not broken, it will never return. If it is not broken, the dynasty will never return."
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were soaring with momentum, waving flags and shouting, their momentum reaching into the sky.
Liancheng looked down at hundreds of thousands of soldiers and ordered Ouyang Kun behind him: "General Ouyang will direct the military affairs. I, the Prince, will return to the city!"
After finishing speaking, Liancheng galloped away on horseback, raising clouds of dust and wind and sand!
In the blink of an eye, in the flying dust, his silhouette was seen and disappeared among the army.
Lianyunguo Palace
When they entered the imperial city, it was already dusk. Liancheng hurriedly dismounted his horse and hurried into the palace to meet the Holy Emperor. Before he reached the Qianhe Hall, a eunuch greeted him and said, "I am here to see His Highness the Crown Prince."
Liancheng ran toward the Qianhe Hall and frowned: "Eunuch Hong, my father is at the Qianhe Hall!"
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, should be leading troops at the border at this time. Why did he rush back to the palace?" Eunuch Hong hurriedly followed, "Your Highness, please stay. The Emperor has a message passed down to His Highness."
"What verbal metaphor?" Liancheng not only did not stop, but also accelerated his pace. "This prince is going to see his father first. There is no need for any verbal metaphor!"
"Your Highness, please stay." Seeing Liancheng quicken his pace, Eunuch Hong rushed forward to block Liancheng, "Your Highness, please stay. The Emperor is seriously ill and needs to rest. He has given orders not to see anyone.
The specially ordered servant will convey the oral message to His Highness the Crown Prince, hoping that His Highness the Crown Prince will live up to his high expectations and lead the troops to break through the borders of the Imperial Dynasty, station at Yanmen Pass, and capture the Imperial Dynasty in one fell swoop. The Emperor is waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's triumphant return!"
Liancheng's eyebrows knitted, "Did your father mention the princess? This trip to the princess and her dynasty is to bind the two countries. Why did you lead the troops to attack regardless of the princess's life?"
Eunuch Hong said hurriedly: "The emperor has told His Highness the Crown Prince not to worry. The princess's trip to get married is arranged by the Emperor. Attack the dynasty, and when the troops approach the city, Her Highness the Princess will escape safely. The eight guards of Xuantian will protect Her Highness the Princess. I won’t let Her Royal Highness get hurt at all!”
Liancheng snorted coldly, pushed Eunuch Hong away in front of him, and ran straight to Qianhe Hall. Since his father wanted to attack the imperial court, why did he send Lianyue to the imperial court?
This was not to let Lian Yue go to the Imperial Dynasty and die. He knew Long Chenyi's methods. If he led troops to attack Yanmen Pass of the Imperial Dynasty, how could Long Chenyi let Lian Yue go?
"Your Highness, you can't go in!" The guards outside the Qianhe Palace stopped Liancheng who was about to break into the palace. "The Emperor has decreed not to see anyone. If it is His Highness, the Emperor ordered His Highness to rush to the border immediately to lead troops to recover the great mountains and rivers! "
Liancheng's face was solemn. The emperor's father said that his illness was a pretense, and calling him back to lead the army was the real thing!
My father secretly recruited troops five years ago, trained his troops to strengthen his elite army, and wanted to dominate the world!
He already knew in his heart that the war between Lianyun and the Imperial Dynasty was inevitable, but he didn't expect that this battle would come so suddenly and so fast!
Now, his father claimed to be ill and did not see him, not wanting him to dissuade him, but also to give him a chance to conquer the world and establish himself as a king!
As the prince of Lianyun Kingdom and the future heir apparent, he will definitely fight hard even if he doesn't want to.
It's just that Lianyue was in the imperial palace, how could he let his sister become a victim of this war!
He knelt outside the Qianhe Hall and begged: "Father, I, my son, please see me!"
There was silence in Qianhe Hall, no sound.
"Your Highness, the Emperor is resting and can't see anyone. You'd better rush to Lian Guan and live up to the Emperor's high expectations!"
Eunuch Hong quickly followed up and persuaded Liancheng.
Liancheng was indifferent and just knelt down!
After a long time, a muddy but domineering voice came from the Qianhe Hall, "Cheng'er, we are close to regaining the world's rivers and mountains. Our company has strong soldiers, strong horses, and elite soldiers. With you leading the troops to defeat the dynasty, my father will not be defeated." I’m disappointed, go ahead!”
