Chapter 501 Guards
The autumn wind blows, and the sun hangs high on the dome. Although it is almost noon, the temperature in the frontier is not warm at all.

Li Xian's face turned red, and he looked coldly at the two "guards" in front of him.

At this moment, he was in the border town of Daming, outside the gate of Datong City.

In all directions around him, there are nearly ten thousand Ming Dynasty officers and troops who have already lined up to prevent accidents.

Standing behind him with his sword is Dingxiang Hou Guo Deng, who once cut Yexian's arm, and Yu Qian, Minister of the Shaobao Army who once sat in the rear and commanded the Battle of Bauhinia Pass and defeated Wala.

In front of him was the embassy of the Ming Dynasty who had gone out for peace talks on behalf of the imperial court and returned triumphantly, and His Majesty the Supreme Emperor.

Li Xian never thought that in such a situation, there would be two Mongolians who would dare to hold a knife and tell him to back off?

After a short moment of astonishment, endless anger surged up, and in just a split second, he almost yelled and cursed.

What are you guys!
But he didn't speak. Instead, he suppressed his anger and took two steps back.

Although he was sent by the imperial court to be in charge of the reception in Datong, there were people present who were higher in rank than him and more capable of making decisions.

Li Xian retreated, but the two Mongolian guards did not sheath their knives either.

Because, at the same time they were threatening Li Xian with their knives, the Ming army who had been scattered in front of the city gate quickly surrounded the entire mission team.

Guo Deng stood by the sword, his steps did not move, but his expression was already icy cold.

At this moment, he looked at the eyes of the two guards with knives, as if he was looking at a dead person.

Relatively speaking, Yu Qian's expression was the calmest. After seeing the two people, he immediately set his sights on Zhu Jian and the other three.

Facing Yu Qian's stare, Zhu Jian lowered his head in shame, while Li Shi clenched his fists, his face ashen. As for Luo Qi, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything.

But fortunately, Yu Qian's gaze didn't linger on them for too long, he took it back after a while, looked at the two guards with knives, and spoke calmly.

"I will serve His Majesty on my behalf, and thank the Grand Master for sending his guards to see him off. Now that the Supreme Emperor has safely returned to Datong, you can return to your orders with peace of mind."

The words were calm, but there was an undeniable meaning in them.

Although the two guards didn't know who Yu Qian was, Guo Deng and the others always knew each other.

On this occasion, the status is even higher than Guo Deng, and there is no doubt that he is a big shot in the Ming court.

But even so, they still did not retreat, but clenched the scimitar in their hands, said.

"The Grand Master ordered us to wait and escort the Supreme Emperor to the capital. Before arriving in the palace of the capital, we are not allowed to leave the Supreme Emperor."

Yu Qian didn't speak, took a step back, stood side by side with Guo Deng, and at the same time cast his eyes on Guo Deng, with a hint of consultation.

It is a big event to welcome back the Supreme Emperor, so they naturally anticipated all kinds of emergencies in advance.

Among them is the situation where the Supreme Emperor was coerced by captives and needed to use force.

At this moment, the entire team of the mission has long been surrounded, and each of them is the most elite soldier selected by Guo Deng from the army.

The carriage in front of him was specially brought to Oala by the mission to welcome the Supreme Emperor. Apart from being gorgeous, it was covered with iron sheets inside and outside, and then covered with silk.

It looks like an ordinary carriage, but it is actually extremely strong.

Among the carriages, there was only the Supreme Emperor alone, and the driver was Ha Ming, a close entourage of the Supreme Emperor.

The twenty or so Mongolian guards were scattered around the carriage, with their backs leaning against the carriage and their bodies facing outward.

Yu Qian looked at Guo Deng, and the meaning of consultation in his eyes was very clear.

Can these so-called guards be controlled under the premise of ensuring the safety of the Supreme Emperor.

Guo Deng didn't speak, just nodded lightly, and turned his sword with his right hand.

If the sword is out of its sheath, it is a military order!
At this time, the Oala envoy who came back with Zhu Jian and others seemed to realize something.

Standing in front of the carriage one step ahead, he first shouted at the two guards.

"You are guarding the Supreme Emperor, why bother to prevent the Minister of Ming Dynasty from going to court, and still not retreat."

The two guards did not speak, thought for a while, put away the scimitar, but did not retreat.

This time, the person sent by Wala was still Nahachu who had been to Daming several times.

Seeing this situation, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face, but he quickly calmed down, because this was expected, and the command of these guards was not in his hands.

Turning around, Naha had already turned into a smiling face, saluted respectfully, and said the same politely.

"I have heard the name of Yu Shaobao for a long time. I will see you again today. My lord Yu, Mr. Guo, today is a happy event to welcome the Supreme Emperor back. The Supreme Emperor has been exhausted all the way. Why don't you go to the city to rest first?"

Yu Qian had dealt with Nahachu before, but at this moment, he was not in the mood to succumb to this Oala envoy.

Glancing at those arrogant Mongolian guards, Yu Qian said flatly.

"It's natural, but Datong is an important town on our border, and I dare not let foreigners enter the city without the order of the holy order."

"Everyone, hand over the Supreme Emperor to this official, and the accompanying people, etc. Those who are not citizens of the Ming Dynasty need to camp outside the city to rest."

This is of course nonsense.

In the past, Wala sent envoys to pay tribute, accompanied by two to three thousand people, and they were not rejected outside the city. Now these people are much less than before.

The real reason was that these so-called guards dared to prevent the courtiers of Ming Dynasty from visiting the Supreme Emperor of Ming Dynasty in the territory of Ming Dynasty.

This kind of behavior is no different from coercion!

But now, the elite soldiers are by our side, and the Supreme Emperor has returned, so there is no need to get used to the stink of the Wala people here.

Yu Qian stepped back and stood behind Guo Deng, which was equivalent to handing over the dominance here to Guo Deng, who was in the main battle.

The murderous air spread, and the conflict was on the verge of breaking out.

"Guo Deng, stop!"

A voice sounded, causing Guo Deng to close the sword that had been slightly unsheathed.

In this place, there are only two people who can order Guo Deng, one is Yu Qian, the governor of both sides who represents the imperial court and has the right to control the borders.

The other one is naturally the Supreme Emperor who is still in the carriage!
Guo Deng stopped his figure, bowed slightly, but his hand was still on the sword, and said.

"Don't worry, the Supreme Emperor, there are 1 members of my Ming Dynasty army here. Since you have arrived in Datong City, I will guarantee that you can return to Beijing safely no matter what."

Out of respect for the Supreme Emperor, he had to open his mouth to explain, but he did not forget that Yu Qian was the one who had the authority to command the scene!

Therefore, he stood by his sword, but did not let the surrounding officers and soldiers retreat, but turned sideways and continued to ask for Yu Qian's opinion.

Zhu Qizhen obviously understood what this meant, his face darkened immediately, and he shouted sharply.

"Guo Deng, I will let you back down!"

"These people are all personal bodyguards bestowed upon me by the Grand Master. They have surrendered to me and obeyed my orders. What do you want to do?"

Guo Deng didn't speak, just looked at Yu Qian.

Yu Qian's face was a little complicated, he sighed indistinctly, and then cupped his hands.

"Emperor Taishang, this is Datong, and there are countless officers and soldiers fighting to the death. Once you return to the court, you will naturally be escorted by the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers, and you don't need to rely on others."

In the carriage, Zhu Qizhen fell silent.

At this time, Naha on the side gritted his teeth and said.

"Yu Shaobao, when we arrived, the grand master said something, the journey is going to be difficult and dangerous, there may be accidents, I hope the emperor will take good care of it."

"These guards were given to the Supreme Emperor to dispatch. From the time they left the camp, they were no longer Wala people, but the ministers of the Supreme Emperor. Please take care of yourself."

At the same time, in the carriage, Zhu Qizhen's voice sounded again, saying.

"Yu Qian, as I said, these people are my bodyguards. In the Beijing camp and even the Jingwei, there are also foreigners who serve Daming. They are my servants just like those people."

"So, I order you, get out of the way!"

 I'm moving today and tomorrow, so I can only update one chapter first, sorry everyone
