Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 482 Fermentation
Huajing.

Today there is a day off and all officials do not have to go to court.

Wu Rulong is practicing in the Royal Garden. Since he reached the lower level of the second rank, he has not made any further progress for more than ten years.

In a previous match with Ning Wang Xiao Feiyu, he failed to find an opportunity to break through. This feeling of being stuck in a bottleneck period is a bit unpleasant after all.

Therefore, whenever he has free time, Wu Rulong will seize the time to practice Qi.

As long as he can break through the shackles of the lower class and reach the middle class of the second class before the age of 50, Wu Rulong dares to think about the upper class of the second class, a state that can be said to be invincible in the world!
Outside the imperial garden, Liu Jin, the chief eunuch of Jingguo, was waiting.

Your Majesty cannot be allowed to be disturbed by others when he is practicing.

With a slight movement of eyebrows, Liu Jin looked forward and saw Prime Minister Chen Kai, Lord Protector Xu Ning and Secretary of the Criminal Department Zheng Lingfeng rushing over.

Liu Jin was stunned: "Masters, what are you doing?"

"Mr. Liu! Quickly report to Your Majesty that something big has happened in Guzhou!"

Liu Jin was surprised for a while, looking at Chen Kai and others' extremely anxious expressions that didn't seem to be fake, "Well, your Majesty is practicing..."

Xu Ning said coldly: "The enemy has invaded, and we need to report to Your Majesty as soon as possible!"

A strong wind swept around, and a strange scene happened.

Countless blades of grass in the Royal Garden were shattered, as if they had been chopped into pieces by some invisible sword.

A low voice sounded from the imperial garden.

"Come in."

When Chen Kai and others heard the summons, they hurried into the imperial garden.

In the garden.

Wu Rulong, who was dressed in a yellow robe, gently wiped away the bloodshot eyes around his mouth. Although he was practicing just now, he was always paying attention to his surroundings.

Xu Ning's previous words about enemy invasion completely disrupted his mind. The strange movements in his mind disrupted the true energy in his body, causing some internal injuries.

"His Majesty!"

Chen Kai and others walked into the garden and called out quickly.

Wu Rulong looked as usual and suppressed the injuries in his body very well. His cold eyes flashed and he asked directly: "When something happened in Guzhou, which country sent troops?"

Guzhou is in the northernmost part of Jingguo, next to Xuzhou, with endless desert behind it.

Which country will attack Jingguo from here if it eats too much?

Wu Rulong was very confused.

Xu Ning said quickly: "Your Majesty, judging from the urgent report sent from Guzhou, it is not from Qi or Zhou, it seems to be a foreign race!"

"Alien!"

The slightly narrowed pupils suddenly expanded: "The barbarian recorded in ancient books?"

Chen Kai frowned: "We don't know the situation yet, but according to the description in the emergency report, the enemy soldiers who attacked Guzhou were strong and powerful, and their weapons were mostly scimitars. They were very similar to the barbarian aliens recorded in ancient books. "

Wu Rulong's eyes darkened. Before the Wu family had revolted to overthrow the previous dynasty and establish Jingguo.

According to rumors, the desert behind Guzhou long ago was actually not the yellow sand desert we see now.

But it is an endless grassland.

According to records, there lived a group of tall and burly aliens on this prairie.

They make a living by herding and raising horses.

Ancient books from previous dynasties recorded them as barbarians.

It is said that this group of barbarians are majestic, good at riding and shooting, and have extremely strong fighting power!

And every time it is the autumn harvest time, they will go south to check the pass, killing and robbing women of money and food when they see anyone.

They are bloodthirsty and cruel, as if there is no humanity at all. They will never let go of anyone they encounter during the invasion, whether they are old people or children.And because of their extremely high combat power, especially the cavalry, they would escape from the grassland after every robbery. It could be said that they came and went without a trace.

It is rumored that the current ace cavalry of the Zhou Kingdom, Tiefutu, was built based on these barbarian cavalry.

The existence of this group of barbarians can be said to have made the previous dynasty miserable.

But later, the prairie gradually turned into desert, and these barbarians had to move deeper into the grassland.

The barbarians have also disappeared for hundreds of years.

After the Wu family destroyed the previous dynasty and established the Jing Kingdom, they learned about the existence of barbarian aliens from the ancient books stored in the previous dynasty's court.

But since the founding of Jingguo, no barbarians have been found.

Could it be that this time the enemy is the barbarians who have disappeared for hundreds of years!

Realizing that the matter was serious, Wu Rulong immediately spoke: "Gather all officials to discuss countermeasures!"

The group hurriedly left the harem and came to the main hall, while the remaining officials were also summoned back.

"You already know what happened, right?"

Wu Rulong looked at the many officials below with stern eyes. Ye Hongxue immediately stepped forward and said: "My Emperor, according to the urgent report sent by the Guzhou Prefecture, the enemy troops invading this time are very likely to be the barbarians who have disappeared for hundreds of years as rumored. Alien."

It was the first time for many officials with low official ranks to hear these four words, and they all looked at Ye Hongxue curiously.

Wu Rulong nodded: "You are right. According to ancient records, this group of barbarians are ferocious, cruel, iron-blooded and ruthless. If they are really the people of Guzhou, they will be worried!"

The Minister of War said coldly: "Whether it is them or not, since they dare to invade our Jingguo territory and kill our Dajing people, then we must not let any of them go!"

"I request your Majesty to immediately order the deployment of troops to support Guzhou. Guzhou Prefect Mu Nalancai has personally led the Jingfu army into battle. In addition, he has also notified General Xuzhou to lead the Xuzhou army."

The Minister of War had a serious look on his face: "But the combined troops of the two states are only 6 or [-]. If we don't get timely support, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop the enemy invaders!"

"indeed."

A minister from the household department nodded, "But according to records, these barbarian and foreign cavalry are very powerful, but they don't seem to be good at attacking cities."

"Relying on the city, Guzhou may be able to support one or two, why not send the elite cavalry to go around the rear, attack from the front and back, and completely eliminate this group of barbarians who do not know life or death, once and for all?"

Many people nodded: "This method is acceptable. It is said that these barbarians come and go without a trace. If we cannot eliminate them in one go."

"I'm afraid our Dajing Border Gate will never have peace."

Ye Hongxue, Chen Kai and Xu Ning really frowned.

Xu Ning was the first to say: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

Chen Kai also nodded and said: "The truth is the same. Where is Lord Ye? Nalan Cai was once a brave general under Lord Ye. She once had the feat of defeating thousands of Qi soldiers with a thousand people. She already has [-] soldiers from the capital in her hands." , shouldn’t be so urgent to ask for help.”

There was a hint of worry in Ye Hongxue's beautiful eyes: "What Xiang Chen said is true. There is only one possibility for Nalan Cai to be so urgent. The enemy is very powerful!"

Ye Hongxue said and looked at Wu Rulong: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to send a large army to Guzhou immediately. In addition, I ordered the troops garrisoned in Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Bingzhou to rush to Guzhou."

"We have only read about these barbarian aliens in ancient books and have never faced the enemy in battle. If we are not careful, we may miss the opportunity and cause more casualties!"

Wu Rulong shouted softly: "Okay! Mr. Yu Cheng!"

A general came out from behind Xu Ning: "The general is here!"

"I order you to be the cavalry vanguard and lead [-] troops to rush to Guzhou to support Nalancai!"

"The last will obey!"

"Gao Yuan!"

Gao Yuan walked out quickly: "Your Majesty."

Wu Rulong: "I order you to be the vanguard of the right army and lead the Longwu Army to rescue Guzhou!"
