A quarter of an hour ago, near the north gate of Lanzhou City.
"Guo Wei, you said this is an abandoned school ground, why is there a guard station stationed now?" Yun Zhi rode on a horse, looking at the camp with the Ming flag flying in front of her, and asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Your Highness, I definitely did not deceive Your Highness. I definitely did not deceive Your Highness. When I passed by this place yesterday, it was indeed an abandoned school grounds." Guard Guo defended in a panic.
"Then tell me, why is there a guard stationed here?" Yunzhi turned her head and asked.
"Your Highness," Zhang Wuji said suddenly: "Your Highness, please see, the guard flag flying in the camp is the flag of the Jinwu guard, not the local guard. It is probably the Jinwu guard returning from Yiwu to the capital via Lanzhou, and your Majesty happens to be in the city
After receiving the Great Khan of Mongolia, I ordered King Wu's guard to temporarily station here to protect His Majesty."
"Is that the reason? Yes, I remember hearing the emperor's brother mention that a Shangzhiwei who was transferred from the capital happened to be passing through Lanzhou and was stationed temporarily. It turned out that he was arranged to be here." Yun Zhi also remembered something and said.
The question has been resolved, but the problem has not. "The school ground here has become the place where Kingo's guards are temporarily stationed, so where can I go to ride horses?"
"Your Highness, I think it's better to forget it today." Zhang Wuji said carefully: "Except for the school grounds of these military camps, there is no place suitable for riding horses. However, at this time, these military camps have guards stationed there and it is not possible to ride horses. Your Majesty receives you.
The Great Khan of Mongolia may not last long, and he may not be happy if he hears that His Highness is traveling after the interview."
"And didn't His Majesty promise to ride with His Majesty outside the city in a few days? Why rush?"
"This," facing her chosen husband, Yun Zhi treated him differently from ordinary people, even though she didn't show it on the outside. If he were an ordinary person, she would have started scolding him, but facing Zhang Wuji, Yun Zhi decided to think about it and find a suitable one.
reason.
But just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard the sound of "crunch" and "crunch", and then the North City Gate was opened to a gap about two people wide. One person and one rider passed through the gap at an extremely fast speed, trying to attack
Speeding through the city.
But at this time, Yunzhi and his party stood on horseback in the middle of the road, leaving only narrow gaps on both sides for pedestrians to pass. Seeing this, the soldier immediately shouted: "Urgent! Get out of the way! Urgent! Get out of the way!"
"
Yunzhi led the guards to avoid, but they were too close to the city gate and could not dodge. Pu Bing pulled the reins quickly. Although he did not hit him, he himself fell because his horse stopped too quickly and was not sure of his control.
Fall to the ground.
"Go down and take a look!" Yun Zhi ordered with some worry. She was not worried about delaying the military situation, but worried that Yun He would find out and reprimand her.
Zhang Wuji jumped off the horse and reached out to help the soldier up. The soldier was anxious and wanted to stand up, but as soon as he stood upright, he felt a heartbreaking pain in his left leg. He screamed in pain and fell down again.
on the ground.
Zhang Wuji lowered his body, touched it, and said, "Your leg is broken, and it needs to be sent to have the bone set immediately!"
"Then how to deliver this official document!" the soldier immediately shouted.
"How about I deliver it for you?"
"You?" Pu Bing suddenly became alert and looked at Zhang Wuji with suspicion: "Who are you?"
"I am His Majesty's royal guard, look at my badge!" Zhang Wuji immediately took out his badge and showed it to him.
Perhaps because the identity of the imperial guards was trustworthy, or perhaps because this official document was very urgent, Pu Bing immediately said: "Quickly, send this official document to the state government and Lanzhou Guard, saying that there are no less than tens of thousands of people lurking in the city thirty miles north of the city.
In the hills!”
Zhang Wuji immediately asked: "Who are these ten thousand people? Have they been found out?"
"No, they wear all kinds of clothes and have all kinds of tents. Although they look like Mongolians, they don't look like they belong to the same tribe. They look more like bandits gathered together."
He was about to ask something more when a voice suddenly came from his ears. "There are no less than tens of thousands of bandits lurking in the hills in the north of the city?" Yun Zhi immediately cried out in surprise, and then asked: "Could it be that they are going to besiege Lanzhou again?
city?"
The scene during the previous siege of Ganzhou suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and she suddenly trembled all over. It was the first time she went to the battlefield, the first time she saw murder with her own eyes. At that time, because the situation was urgent and she had no time to think, she just came here.
But after the robbers escaped, looking back on those scenes, she felt very frightened and had nightmares for several days. Not only her, but also the palace maids who witnessed those scenes were so scared to death that they did not dare to go to the toilet at night and were often awakened by nightmares.
This situation lasted for several days before it got better. One of the reasons why Yunxi stayed in Lanzhou for the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of September was to wait for Yunzhi to stop having nightmares. But at this moment, he heard that there were Mongols lurking in the north of the city, and he
Awakened the nightmare in her heart.
"Your Highness, the north of Lanzhou City is close to the Yellow River, and the Yellow River is hundreds of feet wide. The Lanzhou Guards also have outposts in Hebei. Regardless of whether they are bandits or not, they cannot attack the city immediately."
"Besides the Lanzhou Guards, there are also Jinwu Guards stationed in the city at this time. With only ten thousand people, it is absolutely impossible to capture Lanzhou City." Zhang Wuji said immediately.
"Yes, you are right. In addition to the Lanzhou Guard, there are also Jinwu Guards in the city. The Jinwu Guards, who belong to the Shangzhi Guards, are very powerful. With them defending the city, a few bandits will never be able to defeat them." Yunzhi heard that Zhang Wuji
In the second half of his words, he said as if he had grasped some life-saving straw.
Just as Zhang Wuji was about to say something else, Pu Bing grabbed his clothes and said, "Hurry up and spread the news to the state government and Lanzhou Guards. Now we have only found out that there are more than 10,000 people lurking thirty miles away in the north of the city. We may not report anyone at this time."
Documents from other lurking people are coming to Lanzhou City from all directions at a rapid pace, so you must be prepared. Your Majesty, who is guarding you, is in the city right now!"
Zhang Wuji took the document and was about to hand it to another person to deliver it, but the soldiers held him tightly and asked him to deliver it in person. He seemed to only trust him. Zhang Wuji asked Yunzhi for instructions, but at this time Yunzhi was still in a state of confusion.
It was an abnormal situation and he did not answer. Zhang Wuji thought for a while and asked others to help Pu Bing find a hospital to set his bones while taking two guards to deliver the official document. Of course, when he saw Pu Bing's eyes, he
He handed the two official documents to the two guards and asked them to deliver them to the Yamen and Lanzhou Guards respectively. He thought that since he was only leaving for such a short time, nothing would happen.
But just after he drove his horse away, Yun Zhi seemed to have recovered from her fear and said loudly: "No, we cannot let the bandits near the city. We must send troops to destroy them immediately!"
