Zhuque Street was cleared, and every house was closed. Imperial City Guards armed with guns were lined up on both sides of the street, and there were soldiers holding strong bows and crossbows at high places.
Today is the day when Emperor Ming's imperial chariot parades through the streets. Firstly, it is to welcome Yang Longting, the imperial god of war. Secondly, the martial arts exam starts today, and Emperor Ming needs to show his face in front of the emperor.
The Imperial Expulsion set off from the Imperial City, along the clean water-splashed streets and loess-paved roads. For today, Chang'an City started preparing from yesterday.
The Imperial Guards were in front, the Ming Emperor's imperial guards were behind, followed by the royal family and nobles, followed by civil and military officials, Cheng Dalei was in the team of examiners, and behind him were the outstanding figures in the examination.
Cheng Dalei did not hold a sword or carry an ax today, but wore a sword, a common sword. From Li Wan'er's mouth, he already knew the origin of this sword, so he quietly erased the word "Lu" on the hilt and placed it on the sword.
In a place like Chang'an City, if someone recognized the origin of this sword, it would be in trouble.
As he walked in the team, he was reminded of the fear of being dominated by various conferences in his previous life. The weather was too hot today, and the front of his clothes was already wet with sweat.
And this is just the beginning. Emperor Ming will go out of the city to greet Yang Longting. Later, he will also offer sacrifices to his ancestors and heaven, and tell the world: I am dedicated to the people, and I hope God will send down a few talents to protect the empire.
Cheng Dalei had obtained today's troops for defense a day ago. Even he was shocked by today's defense. The total number of troops dispatched was 5,000, and these 5,000 were the Imperial Guards who gave priority to military pay and equipment.
Can he really assassinate Yang Longting under the protection of heavy troops with his one-year business operation?
Outside the city gate, it was time for Cheng Dalei to take action. After getting the troop deployment plan, Cheng Dalei had already made arrangements. At that time, Xu Shenji on the outside would use fireworks as a signal, and the ambushing men would create chaos, and the killing sword would be struck by Cheng Dalei himself.
out.
But Cheng Dalei felt a little anxious at the moment.
"Captain Niu..."
Just as he was thinking about today's action plan, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear. Cheng Dalei was alerted and his hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword.
Baili Sheng was startled: "Captain Niu, the look in your eyes... is so scary."
It turned out to be him. Cheng Dalei thought he had been discovered. He gently released his sword, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Nervous, nervous."
"Yes, I am nervous too." Baili Sheng said: "We are about to meet the Lord God of War, how can we not be nervous?"
Cheng Dalei felt sick when he heard the word "God of War". Indeed, Yang Longting was a qualified soldier, but God of War... I fought that battle, okay?
"But the Lord God of War is from the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Baili Sheng said something, and the implication was: The God of War is a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion. As a soldier, it is normal for you to have some respect for him, but don't stand in the wrong camp.
Cheng Dalei was currently thinking about how to kill people. He was full of murderous intentions and had no time to listen to Baili Sheng's chatter. At this moment, a sudden thought occurred in his mind. Maybe he could take advantage of the conflict between the General's Palace and the Prime Minister's Palace to bring down Yang Longting.
"I specially made a new set of armor. I can meet the God of War today, and I must leave a good impression on him."
Bailisheng said excitedly that although the two camps are different, as a soldier, he naturally worships heroes. Cheng Dalei also found that everyone participating in today's event was dressed up.
"Captain Niu must have heard of the reputation of Lord God of War in the northwest. I see that you are also wearing new clothes today. You must have specially prepared them for this day."
I didn’t prepare it specially. The prepared scene is so big that I’m afraid it will scare you.
After exiting the city gate, the land became much wider. The Imperial Guards stood on both sides of the official road with weapons in hand, and many onlookers crowded around them.
Yang Longting was waiting outside the city gate. At this time, Yang Longting came quickly with several generals and bowed down.
"I have met your Majesty Yang Longting. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
"Why do we, the God of War of the Empire, have to be so formal? Get up and talk." Emperor Ming did not walk out of Yuhu, but spoke to Yang Longzheng through the curtain.
"I am nothing more than a warrior. I only know how to serve the country with loyalty and share your Majesty's worries. I am truly worthy of the title of the Imperial God of War."
Cheng Dalei's hand has already clenched the hilt of the sword. After a year of absence, Yang Long was inactive very well, and of course Cheng Dalei was also alive well. But when Yang Long was inactive well, Cheng Dalei felt that life was not so good.
Across the crowd, Xu Shenji pointed at him with his eyes, and Cheng Dalei shook his head gently.
Be patient, the time has not come yet, and today's action will be more difficult than expected.
"We will definitely not negotiate peace with the Rong people!"
"If you don't make peace with each other, don't accept your vassal status, we will fight to the bitter end with the Rong clan!"
At this time, a group of people dressed as scholars stood outside the group and shouted loudly. There were about a hundred of them, and everyone was impassioned and excited.
The peace talks between the empire and the Rong tribe have already begun. Recently, the Rong tribe's negotiating envoys will come to Chang'an City to discuss the specific details of the contract. Regarding this, the people have long complained. How can we, a huge country, negotiate peace with the Rong tribe barbarians?
And these Confucian scholars today were instigated by Cheng Dalei.
He held the sword in his hand, waiting for the right opportunity.
However, what Cheng Dalei didn't expect was that Emperor Ming didn't even say a word, Yang Longting also bent down with a smile on his face, and other civil and military officials seemed to be deaf at this moment, automatically blocking the voices of the scholars.
Some of the Imperial Guards had already begun arresting people. On the one hand, they were having fun, on the other hand, they were violent and bloody. Two completely different scenes happened at the same time across a human wall.
What the hell!
Cheng Dalei shook his head at Xu Shenji. It was better to cancel today's action plan. He underestimated the thickness of the imperial court's face.
Da da da!
At this moment, two fast horses rushed towards us. The man on the horse had his face covered with black cloth and held a long gun in his hand. He rushed towards Yuhu with murderous intent.
Whoever moves the hand, whoever moves the hand!
Cheng Dalei lost his composure. Things were out of his control. Without his own orders, who could do it? In today's scene, if you do something, you are looking for death.
The imperial guards immediately guarded Yu Chu, but some soldiers intercepted the two assassins. However, the two assassins had amazing riding skills and sharp marksmanship, and they rushed into the center of the team.
"Hunjun, suffer death!"
Cheng Dalei was shocked. The person these two wanted to kill was not Yang Longting, but the Emperor of the Empire.
The crowd was in panic, the team was in chaos, and they all fled away. Cheng Dalei went upstream and walked forward with his sword in hand.
"Niu Xiaowei, Niu Xiaowei!" Baili Sheng said: "Don't go forward, be careful of the danger."
Cheng Dalei shook his head, a sharp smile hanging on his lips.
Chaos is opportunity.
Immediately, the two assassins moved very quickly and were already in front of Yu Chu. Two spears were thrust out at the same time.
Suddenly, a whisk swept over and entangled one gun, and the other was slapped away by his palm.
Liu Aji.
Cheng Dalei was excited: There are indeed masters among the eunuchs.
