Chapter five hundred and sixty seventh inexplicable confrontation
Outside Chang'an City, accompanied by a group of civil servants and generals, Hu Hai stood in the pavilion, taking a few steps back and forth from time to time, looking at the east, and asked to the left and right a little impatiently: "How long until we arrive?"
Huang Banban fanned Hu Hai while comforting him: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Since the Champion has sent a message saying that noon is approaching, he will definitely arrive on time. There are currently two hours before noon. Why don't you go to the city first?"
Take a rest?"
Hu Hai glanced at Huang Banban, his impatience calmed down a little, and he said with deep meaning: "How can I show my sincerity if I don't wait a little longer? If people think that I treat my heroes lightly, won't I chill the hearts of the loyal ministers and righteous people in the world?
"
A wry smile appeared on Huang Banban's face and he said: "The Champion and His Majesty have known each other since childhood..."
Before Huang Banban could finish what he said, Hu Hai immediately looked over with cold eyes and blocked his next words.
After almost two hours in an extremely subtle and strange atmosphere, a cavalry finally came and shouted loudly: "Report, the champion has led an army of 200,000 to be thirty miles away and is about to arrive.
"
Hu Hai stood up abruptly, his face immediately filled with excitement, even a hint of flushing, and shouted: "All officials are listening to the order and prepare to welcome the return of the champion."
Hu Hai called him here early in the morning. The officials who were hungry and thirsty after being here for a long time stood up reluctantly and lined up behind Hu Hai.
It's just that the resentment in his eyes and heart cannot be dispelled no matter what.
Those who have a bad temper will directly put on a bad face and show their dissatisfaction without concealing it.
What's more, he directly muttered in a low voice: "It's just a fool, what's the point?"
He did not dare to express dissatisfaction with Hu Hai, but pointed his resentment at Lin Ze.
When Hu Hai heard the civil servant complaining, he just turned his head and glanced at it without saying anything more.
The civil servant felt a little frightened at first, then he was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and suddenly there was a hint of joy in his heart. He felt that he might have found a shortcut to please His Majesty.
The crisp sound of horse's hoofbeats suddenly sounded out of thin air, and then, like dominoes being opened, countless "dah-dah-dah" horses' hoofbeats mixed together and resounded throughout the suburbs of Chang'an.
Echoing this was the shaking of the earth.
This phenomenon lasted for dozens of breaths, and finally a familiar figure appeared in Hu Hai's sight, riding a tall horse, leading the way, galloping towards him.
Behind that horse were countless Qin troops in black armor, holding standard weapons, arranged in twenty neat square formations, and moved quickly.
The soldiers of the Qin army, who were divided into twenty square formations, were not all of the same type. There were cavalry, chariots, infantry and crossbowmen.
However, the pace and rhythm of these phalanxes of different arms were surprisingly consistent, and a strong military momentum rushed towards them.
With the strength of the Grandmaster Realm, Lin Ze saw Hu Hai and a group of civil servants and generals under the pergola from a distance.
However, Lin Ze's face did not have the slightest hint of joy, instead it looked a little gloomy.
If Lin Ze remembered correctly, Hu Hai once sent a eunuch to convey a message, saying that he would bring all the civil and military officials out to greet him, but he flatly refused.
But Hu Hai still did this.
Excessive praise is often called praise.
Lin Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, all kinds of thoughts passed through his mind, and he made a decision.
Lin Ze rubbed his fingers, and a trace of the master's power appeared between his fingers. Then he patted it gently and sent it into the body of the horse under his crotch.
The galloping horse suddenly became "radiant", its galloping speed suddenly doubled, and it rushed forward.
The 200,000-strong army behind Lin Ze saw his general speeding up and followed him subconsciously.
As a result, the army that originally showed only a menacing appearance immediately became murderous.
Speeding up, speeding up, and speeding up again, until the army was only a mile away from the pergola, there was still no sign of slowing down.
Hu Hai, who originally looked at the returning army with a smile on his face, suddenly showed a look of reluctance.
The civil and military officials behind Hu Hai were even more unbearable. Having lived in Chang'an for a long time, had they ever seen such murderous intent on the battlefield?
Some officials with weak martial arts training even fought with each other until they almost collapsed.
Four hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters...
Lin Ze still hadn't slowed down when he was a hundred meters away from the pavilion, and the same was true for the army behind him. The palace guard responsible for guarding Hu Hai unconsciously touched the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand.
They are extremely sensitive to danger and have already sensed something abnormal.
Lin Ze looked calmly at Hu Hai, who was less than a hundred meters away from him. Hu Hai squinted slightly and looked back calmly.
Lin Ze was expressing his dissatisfaction after being plotted, and Hu Hai was also expressing his dissatisfaction with Lin Ze's actions.
Huang Banban, who sensed the subtle atmosphere between the two, took a step forward and stood in front of Hu Hai. With a hint of pleading on his face, he looked at Lin Ze.
Hu Hai's expression suddenly changed, he kicked him away, and scolded: "You don't know how to live or die, get out of here."
At this time, Lin Ze, who was less than ten meters away from Hu Hai, suddenly reined in his horse, stopped the wildly galloping horse, then turned over and dismounted, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Lin Ze, pays homage to you."
Seeing their leader reining in their horses and stopping, the 200,000-strong army also slowed down crazily. Finally, fifty meters away from the pergola, they stopped in unison and stopped completely.
A strong wind then emerged, making the pergola roar and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Hu Hai replied word for word: "If you love me, you don't need to be polite."
Lin Ze straightened up immediately and said in a loud voice: "I have been ordered by Your Majesty to quell the rebellion, to defeat the puppet Zhao in the north, the puppet Chu in the south, and the puppet Qi in the east. Because the time was short, I was not able to take full credit, but the rebels also attacked
I was frightened when I heard this, and I thought that I could live up to the king's expectations, so I came here to take orders."
The meaning of Lin Ze's words is very obvious. You asked me to do the counter-insurgency thing, and I did it, and I did it well. It has nothing to do with me if I didn't finish it. You asked me to come back, so the responsibility lies with you.
Hu Hai's originally tense face suddenly relaxed, showing a bright smile and said: "I see Aiqing's contribution and hard work, I remember them in my heart, and I am deeply gratified. If everyone could be like Aiqing,
With outstanding loyalty and ability, what should we fear from some traitors?"
Hu Hai deliberately emphasized the word "loyalty" in his tone.
"Your Majesty praises you highly, but the ministers are frightened." Lin Ze's face showed a trace of panic at the right time. I can't bear this kind of praise from you.
Hu Hai boldly took a few steps forward, grabbed Lin Ze's arm with both hands, and said with a sincere face: "I love you, you are too humble. You are my most important minister, I still need to rely on you more."
Lin Zeyi looked moved and said: "Your Majesty values me so much, how dare I not die in service?"
In terms of acting skills, Hu Hai's performance in front of Emperor Qin was all taught by Lin Ze. How could anyone be any worse?
Hu Hai laughed loudly and said: "I love you, follow me into the city. I have prepared a banquet in the palace. You and I will not return until we are drunk."
After saying that, he tried to pull Lin Ze into the city, but after several pulls, Lin Ze didn't move at all.
Hu Hai couldn't help but look astonished: "Why don't you leave? Maybe you think I'm not sincere enough?"
Lin Ze grinned and said: "No, Your Majesty seems to have forgotten that the two hundred thousand soldiers under Wei Chen have sacrificed their lives and shed blood for the Qin Dynasty."
"I also ask for your Majesty's order to reward the army and reward the meritorious soldiers."
A look of surprise appeared on Hu Hai's face: "It turns out that Aiqing is worried about this matter. As usual, the matter of awarding rewards is handled by the Taiwei Mansion. Since Aiqing also serves as Taiwei, this matter is also Aiqing's responsibility."
Lin Ze nodded: "In that case, your Majesty, please don't think that a humble minister is acting on your behalf."
Immediately without waiting for Hu Hai to respond, Lin Ze shouted after Hu Hai: "Where is the history of Zhi Su? Go quickly and make arrangements to reward the army. If there is any neglect, I will definitely impeach you in front of His Majesty."
"Officials of the Taiwei Mansion will supervise this matter. Anyone who neglects his duties will be severely punished."
Then Lin Ze smiled brightly and said to Hu Hai: "Your Majesty, the affairs of the minor ministers have been arranged properly, and you can enter the city with your Majesty."
"Haha" Hu Hai laughed dryly and pulled Lin Ze towards the city gate.
