When the soldiers guarding the city tower heard this, their expressions suddenly changed. Wasn't the battle of the Southern Song Dynasty already victorious? Why was there suddenly another urgent military situation at this time?
However, this was not the time for him to think. The guard soldiers quickly ran to the tower and shouted at the gatekeeper at the gate of the tower, "Open the city gate, open the city gate quickly."
The gatekeeper was taking a nap when he heard the sound of horse hooves in his sleep. He was about to get up to see what was going on, but before he could get up, he heard shouting outside the city gate.
He was clever and ran away like a sleepy man without a trace. He only heard the shouting above his head, and he kicked a few little soldiers who were snoring next to him. "Get up, get up, damn it!"
I'm up, it's a military emergency, open the city gate quickly." After saying that, he grabbed the key and rushed to the gate.
The city gate is not in the form of a sling, because most of them are not in war-torn areas. There are only three door bolts, upper, middle and lower, running across the back of the door. A huge chain runs through it, and above it is a big hammer lock.
"Come here, come here, open the door now, open the door now."
The gatekeeper quickly opened the door lock, and several people took down the door bolt as quickly as possible. Unexpectedly, the city gate just opened a gap, and a horseman rushed in with an angry curse.
The rapid sound of horse hooves rushed straight into the palace. The stunned gatekeepers and soldiers looked directly at the horses and people who had left. They could only vaguely see the bright yellow flag carried by the messenger fluttering in the wind.
The gatekeeper and others closed the city gate again and shrank their necks, "Why isn't it warmer today?"
A few people muttered a few more words and returned to their beds, which were still warm. At this time, those with hot blankets would definitely not get up for no reason. As everyone knows, it didn't take long for several of the most distinguished people in Dadu to leave one after another.
He got out of his hot bed. And the atmosphere in the palace became even more tense.
In the small courtyard where Hu Ge Chi and A Nuo lived in the Yunnan Prince's Palace, the door of the bedroom was opened little by little, and Hu Ge Chi walked out with a piece of clothing on his body.
Wu Enqi had already been waiting by the door, speaking in a very low voice, for fear of waking up the sleeping person inside, "Sir, the palace has reported that there is an urgent military situation, and you should enter the palace immediately."
Hu Gechi said calmly, "I understand, prepare your horses, we will leave now."
"Yes." Wu Enqi said crisply, turned around and went to prepare his horse.
Hu Gechi galloped all the way and rushed to the palace gate without stopping. He got off his horse and threw the whip in his hand to the servant who had been waiting for a long time. "Where is Father Khan?"
The chamberlain bowed and saluted, "The Khan is in the imperial study."
Hu Gechi snorted coldly and strode towards the imperial study room.
The lights in the royal study are bright. When you open the door, you can smell the scent of soothing incense. But when you step into the threshold, you feel that the atmosphere in the room is a bit depressing.
Hu Gechi didn't pay attention to this. It can be said that he had expected such an atmosphere. He was summoned in the middle of the night. If something big had not happened, he would not be so anxious. He walked in step by step and sang a song to the Khan first,
"Father, my son is here."
Khan Kublai Khan raised his hand and said, "Get up!"
Hu Gechi stood up and started to look at the other people in the room. The Sixth Prince Ai Ya, Boyan, and A Shu were all there, and he was probably missing the Prince Zhenjin. Just as he was thinking about it, a message came from outside the door.
