Although Gu Qiancheng was worried when he learned that Qin Jiyan was in trouble, he did not lose his composure. After hurriedly running out of the teahouse, Gu Qiancheng did not go to Taiyuan alone, but went back to the Gu family.
"Where is Tang Wanjin?" Gu Qiancheng asked as he walked.
The servant serving in the courtyard did not dare to say anything when he saw this, and replied: "Master Tang is at the martial arts training ground, I will go look for him right now." Then he hurried down to look for him.
Gu Qiancheng responded, walked quickly to the room, and asked her servants to change her clothes. She also brought the small concealed weapon she had made earlier in case of emergencies.
Tang Wanjin arrived before anyone else arrived, "Qiancheng, Qiancheng, are you looking for me?" Tang Wanjin had no idea that this was Gu Qiancheng's boudoir and he couldn't come in, so he opened the door with a bang.
The maid who was following him was running out of breath. When she saw the scene inside the door, her face turned pale and she immediately knelt down and said, "You have neglected your duty, please punish me."
Inside the house, Gu Qiancheng was only wearing his middle coat and was about to put on his coat when he was interrupted by Tang Wanzhen.
"Stay back." Gu Qiancheng already knew Tang Wanjin's character and had no demands on him.
"What happened?" Tang Wanzhen looked confused. He looked at this and that. He had no idea why the people in the room and the people around him looked frightened.
Gu Qiancheng ignored him and hurriedly put on his coat, "Tang Wanjin, something happened to the Emperor. Please come with me out of the city."
"Oh... okay." Tang Wanzhen nodded quickly. As for what happened? Tang Wajin didn't care at all. Gu Qiancheng was there anyway.
"Let's leave now." After Gu Qiancheng put on his coat, he tied a dagger to his calf and arm, and then walked out like a whirlwind, with Tang Wanjin following closely.
Outside the Gu family's house, Wu Yi had already ordered and prepared three horses. When he saw Gu Qiancheng coming out, he immediately led the horses forward. "Master Feng has gone to Shuntian Mansion and will bring reinforcements there as soon as possible."
"Okay." Gu Qiancheng got on his horse, Tang Wanjin and Wu Yi also got on their horses, and the three of them rode towards the outside of the city.
At this time, on the only way to Taiyuan, 10,000 soldiers and horses from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing were blocked by a huge boulder. The boulder was a hundred meters high and dozens of meters wide, blocking the roads on both sides.
, not even a gap.
Cheng Sanshao visually inspected the stone, which weighed at least ten thousand kilograms. He didn't know how the people from Xihu and Northern Qi transported it. It was stuck in the middle and hundreds of soldiers couldn't move it when they came forward.
"You, you, you guys, come here again and use your strength again. We must remove this stone no matter what." Cheng Sanshao, who led the troops out, was extremely anxious.
"The Emperor is still waiting for us in Taiyuan. Let's use our strength to push it away." On a cold day, Mr. Cheng broke out in a cold sweat.
He was ordered to go to Taiyuan to protect the emperor. This was a good opportunity to make a meritorious service, but... something like this happened on the way. If he couldn't arrive in time, let alone meritorious service, it would be good if he could not lose his life.
"Quick, quick... you guys come to the side and try your best to break the stones." In addition to arranging for people to move the stones, Cheng Sanshao also asked people to try their best to break the stones.
The stone is too big for them to move, but if it breaks, they can always move it away, right?
However, this big rock was not so easy to smash. They spent a long time smashing it, but only one corner was missing. They wanted to smash this rock into pieces, but they didn't know how long it would take just by relying on human power.
However, we can't give up just because it's difficult. The emperor is still waiting for them to rescue us.
Cheng Sanshao was so anxious that he kept urging his soldiers to go faster and faster. The soldiers who were circling around the boulder were also extremely anxious. They were all sweating profusely, and they even bumped into each other with their bodies in a hurry. As a result,
It is conceivable that no matter how strong you are, it is impossible to knock the stone away.
When Gu Qiancheng and Tang Wajin arrived, they saw a group of soldiers circling around the boulder, and they could hear the "dong dong" beating sound from a distance.
"Tang Wanjin, hurry up." Gu Qiancheng slapped the horse hard on his crotch, "Drive, drive..."
The horse was in pain and ran very fast, throwing up a cloud of dust and choking Tang Wanjin behind him half to death, and his face almost turned red.
Cheng Sanshao heard the sound and turned to look over...
Gu Qiancheng and the others ran so fast that Cheng Sanshao could see three shadows. Who was coming? Is it an enemy or a friend? It was impossible to tell.
"Stop..." Before Mr. Cheng could finish his words, he heard Tang Wanjin shouting: "We are on an errand under the emperor's order, why don't you get out of the way quickly?"
These words were reminded by Gu Qiancheng to Tang Wanjin. Everything involving the emperor is a big deal, and no matter who is leading the troops, they will cooperate obediently.
"Who are you?" Cheng Sanshao signaled the soldiers to disperse and stepped forward.
There was a huge boulder blocking the road in front of him, so he didn't worry at all that these three people could get through.
"Champion candidate Tang Wanjin." The title of champion candidate was given to him by Qin Jiyan when Tang Wanjin came back from Yaowang Valley.
In Qin Jiyan's view, Tang Wanjin is not suitable for leading an army at all, and he does not know how to lead an army. He only knows how to fight. When there is a war, just ask him to go to the battlefield. Make him a general and give him military power.
A complete waste.
Tang Wanjin was also very happy about his title, especially after learning from Gu Qiancheng that the champion meant number one, he was even more proud and had to show off to others.
"Champion Marquis?" Cheng Sanshao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he believed that Tang Wanjin came here on orders. Because...
In the whole capital, if anyone could solve this huge boulder in an instant, it would be Tang Wanjin.
"Quick, get out of the way. Don't block the champion's way." Cheng Sanshao waved everyone away eagerly, fearing that he would be delayed for even a second.
Tang Wanjin, Gu Qiancheng and Wu Yi slowed down about a hundred meters away from the garrison. Only then did Cheng Sanshao see clearly who was coming.
"Miss Gu? Why is she here too?" Cheng Sanshao has very complicated feelings for Gu Qiancheng. He admires Gu Qiancheng's ability, but hates Gu Qiancheng's ruthlessness.
If it weren't for Gu Qiancheng, he wouldn't be leading the troops here. He would have passed the exam to appoint people to the court as officials. If it hadn't been for Gu Qiancheng, his sister's matter would not have been exposed, and the Cheng family's reputation would not be so good.
Smelly.
However, grandpa said...it was the Cheng family who made the mistake first, and they couldn't blame Gu Qiancheng. Of course, they didn't dare to blame. Everyone in the court knew that Gu Qiancheng was the most important person in the emperor's heart. If Gu Qiancheng was allowed to
If it doesn't happen soon, the Cheng family will probably cease to exist.
Gu Qiancheng rode forward and saw that the person leading the troops was actually someone he knew. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "It turns out to be Master Cheng. I'm sorry." In just one year, he could climb from civil service to martial arts.
Being able to lead troops independently shows that Cheng Sanshao is a capable man.
Of course, the Cheng family must have worked hard!
"Miss Gu is so polite. I feel relieved when I see Miss Gu and the champion are here." Mr. Cheng said respectfully.
Regardless of whether he dislikes Gu Qiancheng or not, he can't show it when he sees her. The current Cheng family doesn't dare to offend Gu Qiancheng.
Gu Qiancheng nodded without saying anything, and had no intention of dismounting. He turned to look at Tang Wanzhen and said, "Tang Wangjin, blast the rock in front of you."
