The commander of the county army thought it made sense. He nodded and hesitated for a long time. He didn't know how to address Liu Xiu, so he could only say: "This... please come this way!"
Liu Xiu asked casually: "Where is the camp of the Capital Army?" He flew to Zhongling Mountain with Luo You, Xu Ying, Xu Ting, and Xu Fei. The Capital Army did not follow him, and there was no one in the Zhongling Mountain area.
The garrison of the Capital Army.
However, if he disappeared in Zhongling Mountain, the Capital Army would definitely come to search for him, so Liu Xiu did not need to inquire, and he knew that there must be a Capital Army stationed in Zhongling Mountain now.
The commander of the county army said: "The nearest capital camp is not far from here, only an hour's journey away."
Liu Xiu nodded and stopped talking. The commander of the county army walked in front, looking back at Liu Xiu from time to time.
Although he was not yet sure of Liu Xiu's identity, he was already seven or eighty percent convinced. The main reason was that Liu Xiu's demeanor was too calm and graceful, and he was too graceful and noble. These were not things that could be faked casually.
If this young man is really the emperor, then he and his brothers will have made great achievements!
So many people, after so many days and nights of searching, have not been able to find the whereabouts of the emperor. Today, people like you have found him. How much credit must this have?
Thinking of this, the commander of the county army became radiant, and he was breathing like a breeze when he walked.
Xin Lingling walked to Liu Xiu's side, gently pulled his sleeves, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Liu, why are we going to the military camp? Are you... are you an official in the capital army?"
Liu Xiu blinked and said with a smile: "So be it."
"How big an official do you want to be?" Xin Lingling asked curiously.
Seeing that she was looking at him with a pair of big bright eyes, looking at him without blinking. She was very cute. Liu Xiu said casually: "Guess."
"General?" Xin Lingling thought for a while and asked.
Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "It's too small."
"General?" "You're too young."
Bigger than a general, that is... "Da Sima?"
Liu Xiu said happily: "It's still small."
Xin Linglu was stunned for a moment, pouted, and said, "I don't want to guess anymore. Brother Liu must be teasing me!"
Liu Xiu leaned close to her ear and said, "If I said that I was the emperor, would you believe it?"
"Emperor?"
"Why don't you believe it?"
"Brother Liu is so young, how can he be the emperor?!" In Xin Linglu's view, the emperor is an old man in his sixties or seventies, and he is unsmiling, aloof, and surrounded by people. These are incompatible with Liu Xiu's image.
Totally inconsistent.
Liu Xiu smiled and said nothing more. They walked very fast, and within an hour, they saw little lights appearing in the night ahead.
Walking closer, Liu Xiu took a closer look. This was a small camp, which could probably house about five hundred people. It was a song arrangement.
There were soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the camp. When they saw a group of them approaching, the soldiers raised their spears and shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you? You dare to break into the important place of the military camp?!"
The commander of the county army looked back at Liu Xiu, then quickly ran forward, bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "I am Feng Rui, commander of the Hongnong County Army!" As he spoke, he handed over his military badge.
The captain is in charge of fifty people and is a low-level officer. Up to now, he is almost the same as a platoon leader.
A chief of the capital army stepped forward, took the military card, came close to the torch, looked at it carefully, and confirmed that it was correct. He returned the general card to the commander of the county army and said: "It turns out to be Captain Feng, disrespectful, disrespectful!"
He said he was disrespectful, but his attitude was still cold. If the captain is equivalent to the platoon leader, then the captain is equivalent to the squad leader. In terms of military rank, he is naturally one level lower than Feng Rui, but he is in the capital army.
And Feng Rui is a county soldier, so there is still a big difference.
"Captain Feng came here late at night, but something happened?"
"Uh...we..." Feng Rui hesitated.
If Liu Xiu is really the emperor, then their team will undoubtedly have great achievements. If Liu Xiu is a fake, not only will they have no merit, but they will also be guilty of lying. If they don't do it well, they will lose their heads.
While he was hesitating, Liu Xiu stepped forward and said straight to the point: "I am Liu Xiu, ask your music director to come out and see me!"
When the capital troops present heard this, their expressions changed as well, and their eyes all fell on Liu Xiu. They looked at him carefully from one glance to the next. Liu Xiu wore a dusty brown shorts on his upper body and dusty trousers on his lower body.
Wearing straw sandals on feet.
This outfit is a standard farmer's dress. However, Liu Xiu's image is very outstanding. His face is like a crown jade, his eyes are as bright as stars, dragon eyebrows and tiger eyes, and his appearance is handsome. In addition, his temperament is also very different from that of ordinary people.
different.
The commander had never met Liu Xiu, and naturally he didn't know him. Just when he was about to speak, Liu Xiu handed the jade pendant out and said, "Give it to your music commander, and he will come out to see me."
Taking the jade pendant from Liu Xiu, Shi Chang looked carefully and his expression changed again. The texture of this jade pendant was so good, crystal clear, like glass. When held in his hand, it did not feel cold, but warm.
After all, the capital army is well-informed and will not make judgments based solely on their outfits. After looking at the jade pendant, the commander bowed to Liu Xiu and said, "Please wait a moment, I will report to Master Qu immediately!"
He quickly ran towards the camp. After half an hour, an officer hurried out of the camp with several followers. The music commander had never seen Liu Xiu, but he heard from his colleagues around him
I talked about Liu Xiu’s appearance.
After leaving the camp, he looked at Liu Xiu who was standing outside the camp gate. Qu Chang looked at him for a moment, but did not dare to make a hasty judgment. He quickly stepped forward, bowed his hands and saluted, and said, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"Liu Xiu!" Liu Xiu reported his name again.
"This jade pendant..."
"This was made in the fourth year of Jianwu. There are two pieces in total. One is a Qipei and the other is a Linpei. I carry the Qipei with me all the year round, and the Linpei is on the body of Yin Guiren. It uses the spirit of precious jade to protect mother and child.
Safety."
Qilin, like the Phoenix, is also divided into male and female. The male is Qilin and the female is Lin. When the jade pendants were being made, Yin Lihua was pregnant. Qilin is an auspicious beast that can bring peace and security, so Liu Xiu had this pair of Qilin jade pendants made.
.
Hearing that Liu Xiu was very familiar with the origin of this jade pendant, the song went on without saying a word. He knelt down on one knee, dragged the jade pendant forward with both hands, and said, "I don't know that your majesty is coming here, but I am not here to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me."
crime!"
Qu Chang knelt down, and everyone else present was stunned for a moment, then they all knelt down and kowtowed.
Liu Xiu had long been accustomed to this, so he reached out to take back the jade pendant and put it into his arms.
Xin Linglu was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Brother Liu didn't lie to her. He was actually the emperor! She stared blankly at Liu Xiu beside her, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Everyone, get up!" Liu Xiu waved his hand, and the commander and other officers and soldiers stood up one after another.
Qu Chang looked excited. In the past few days, they had searched every corner of Zhongling Mountain. Their legs were almost broken, but they could not find His Majesty. They thought that His Majesty might be in danger, but unexpectedly, His Majesty was fine today.
The ground is back. "Your Majesty, please come to the camp! Please come to the camp!" As he spoke, Commander Qu summoned a few more men and asked them to quickly go to other camps to report the news.
Now the Capital Army does not only have this one camp in Zhongling Mountain, with only 500 people there, but there are more than a dozen camps of different sizes, with a total of tens of thousands of troops.
As soon as he entered the camp, Liu Xiu stopped, nodded to Xin Linglu, who was still in shock, and said, "Linglu, we can make Dahua, Ermao, and Heimao come out."
"Ah? Oh!" Xin Linglu suddenly came back to her senses. It took her a moment to react. She picked up the small whistle tied around her neck, held it in her mouth, and started blowing.
After blowing just twice, I heard a rustling sound coming from the grass on the roadside, and then, two spotted tigers and a black panther jumped out together.
Even though the two tigers and the leopard were outside the camp and they were inside the camp, far apart, Commander Qu was still frightened and screamed: "Protect Your Majesty——"
As he spoke, he immediately drew out his sword and blocked Liu Xiu behind him with one arm.
"Don't be nervous, they are all raised with zero exposure." Liu Xiu patted Qu Chang's shoulder slowly, then passed him and walked towards the camp gate. When he came to the door and stood still, he said to Dahua, Ermao and Heimao
Waved.
Two spotted tigers and a black panther ran toward Liu Xiu.
Qu Changji, who was so close to Liu Xiu, shivered, and the hand holding the sword was trembling. He was not afraid of these three beasts, but worried that Liu Xiu would be in danger.
If the emperor has something wrong in his own camp, his head will be in danger, and his whole family will suffer.
The soldiers all around also thought the same thing. In an instant, there was a continuous crashing sound, and the officers and soldiers either picked up their crossbows or twisted their bows to set arrows.
Liu Xiu didn't care. When Dahua, Ermao and Heimao came closer, he squatted down and touched the tops of their heads. Ermao liked Liu Xiu very much. When he touched his head, he became more and more excited and jumped up and down.
of.
Heimao was touched twice, turned his head, turned around and walked away. Dahua, who had the deepest grudge with Liu Xiu, suddenly became honest at this time. Not only did he let Liu Xiu touch his head, he also raised his head and stuck out his tongue, licking Liu Xiu.
Show your palms to show friendship.
Seeing that Da Hua, who was usually so kind to him, suddenly changed his normal attitude and began to please himself, Liu Xiu couldn't help laughing. This piebald beast was almost turned into a sperm by being raised by Ling Lu, and he also knew how to watch others' orders.
Woolen cloth!
Liu Xiu personally demonstrated that two tigers and one leopard were harmless. Qu Chang and the officers and soldiers raised their voices and their hearts dropped. Qu Chang put back his sword, and the officers and soldiers also put down their crossbows and bows. They were amazed. This is
Tigers and leopards are beasts that eat people without blinking an eye, but in front of His Majesty, they are as obedient as kittens and puppies.
Qu Chang's mind turned around, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately raised his hands and said: "My emperor is the son of God, and all souls surrender!" As he spoke, he lifted up his skirt, knelt down again, and kowtowed forward.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding officers and soldiers knelt down and kowtowed, shouting in unison: "My emperor is the son of God, and all souls surrender -"
This tall hat made Liu Xiu feel his face getting hot. He waved his hand again and said, "Okay, okay, everyone, get up!"
Qu Chang stood up first and took a peek at Liu Xiu. Seeing that he was not annoyed, but instead raised the corners of his mouth with a smile on his face, Qu Chang felt relieved and knew that his horse had hit the right spot.
"Only when all spirits surrender will he become the destined emperor! How can Gongsun Shu, Wei Xiao and other young men compete with His Majesty?!" Qu Chang said seriously.
Liu Xiu smiled and said: "If you praise me once, people will like you. If you praise me again, you will be over it."
"Yes, yes, yes! It's the humble minister who made a mistake!"
Liu Xiu pulled Xin Linglu next to her and said, "This lady's name is Xin Linglu. She is the queen of Wenzi and is also my savior. Don't neglect me!"
"It turns out to be Miss Xin, I'm so disrespectful!" Everyone had noticed Xin Lingling for a long time, but they didn't dare to ask more questions.
Now that he heard that she was the emperor's savior, the way he looked at Xin Linglu changed, and his attitude toward her became more respectful.
Liu Xiu and others entered the camp, and Commander Qu ordered people to prepare food and wine. He also ordered his officers and soldiers to prepare a lot of fresh meat for Dahua, Ermao and Heimao to eat.
In the camp, Liu Xiu sat in the middle and Xin Linglu sat on the side. The two of them ate their meals slowly, while the two tigers and the leopard devoured the fresh meat beside them.
Not long after, Geng Yan, Gai Yan, Yao Qi, Luo You, Xu Ying, Xu Ting, Xu Fei and others rushed to the camp. When they all rushed into the camp and saw Liu Xiu sitting upright inside, their eyes were filled with circles.
