Heavenly Dao Formula

That is Jinxia City.

　　 Gong Sheng stopped the horse with a "call" and squinted at the gray city not far away. Judging from the guard at the head of the city and the flow of people in and out of the west gate, it is indeed somewhat unreasonable. At least he noticed that the lookout posts were watching his movements. In less than a quarter of an hour, there were obviously more heads shaking on the walls. According to his previous visits to Jinxia, ​​the guards of the government would not have such a keen response, especially since his subordinates had already displayed the Shenzhou military flag, and the other party would not be wary of it.

　　 As the capital of Shenzhou, the number of people entering and leaving Jinxia City is too scarce. This is not a major business center, but it will not fade to this extent.

　　 Sure enough, something happened in the city.

　　 "Master Lieutenant, all the horses that strayed out are back." Adjutant Lu Honghua drove the horse close to him.

　　 "Well, did they find anything?"

　　 "Everything around is safe and there is no sign of enemy activity, but—" the adjutant said in a low voice, "There are large signs of camping on the outskirts of the Western Wall. Estimated from the scope, it is an army of tens of thousands of people."

"Army? Stationed outside Jinxia City?" Gong Sheng glanced at the other person. "There is no army in Shenzhou besides us. Even if it is an enemy, it will only choose to stay in the city, and it may go outside the Western Wall. "

"what do you mean……"

　　 "It should be a camp used to temporarily accommodate refugees who have escaped from the city. The news from the messenger is correct. It seems that Jinxia City has indeed been attacked by pirates."

　　 When this news reached the Shenzhou Army garrison, General Qing was skeptical at first.

　　 After all, the smoke has not yet risen, and the whole southeast is calm; the informant is also in a panic. There is only one oral message, not even the official seal, which is really counterintuitive.

　　 When the army moves, it consumes money. If he rushes to Jinxia City and finds it but a false alarm, wouldn't his name as a general become a joke?

　　 However, the attack on the capital is extraordinary, and it cannot be treated as a trifle.

　　 Therefore, this task was handed over to the head of the Wei Yang Wei Gong Sheng.

General 　　 Qing ordered him to lead a light cavalry unit to Jinxia City as soon as possible to provide support, while the forward moved slowly in. If this matter is verified to be true, it will not be too late to dispatch the Chinese army to Pingkou.

　　 Therefore, this thousand and five hundred Qingqi became the first troops to reach the capital of Shenzhou.

"But depending on the condition of the city, it doesn't look like it has been attacked." The adjutant thought, "Even if the messenger is slow for a day and a half, it will only take less than three days. When will the local government be so capable? In response to the pirates, I can also take care of the refugees who fled, and did not forget to clean up the traces of the camp afterwards... I remember that the local prefect was a pure civilian background, right?"

　　 "If you ask him this question, he will know it?" Gong Sheng said excitedly. He didn't want to take care of refugees. At present, there are at least two points that can be determined-one is that the Xicheng Gate is still under the control of the government; the other is that pirates really exist. What do you want most to be an officer in the military? Of course it was a military exploit, and the suppression of bandits and the peace bandits is a great feat. For an army stationed in the hinterland of Daqi? 　 Such opportunities are not common.

　　He waved to the rear? 　"Go, let's enter the city!"

　　 "Here!" All the soldiers responded in unison.

　　……

　　 But what Gong Sheng never expected? 　His team was stopped by the guard at the door.

　　 This is outrageous!

　　The government sent people to ask for the support of the Shenzhou Army? 　Now that reinforcements are coming, they will not let themselves into the city?

　　 Who gave them this courage! ?

"Get out of the way!" Gong Sheng yelled? 　 Let the soldiers who opened the road retreat to both sides, and walked towards the city gate personally? 　 "I am Lieutenant Yang Wei of the Shenzhou Army? 　 Entrusted by the prefect, came to rescue Jinxia City, you wait Don't evade quickly so that the army can pass!"

　　 "Have you heard the words of Master Lieutenant? If you are acquainted, get out of here!" Lu Honghua followed to cheer for her boss.

　　 But the five guards were unmoved.

　　They stood in a row with long guns? 　 blocked the road into the city.

"Your Royal Highness has an order? 　 Teams with more than 30 people need to be notified before they can enter the city after getting permission." One of them said clearly, "This lord, do you see the tent on your right? Please cooperate with us. Register."

　　 "Your Royal Highness?" Gong Sheng was irritated. When did Jinxia City have the princess to speak? Could it be that the officials of the government are dead? He raised his long knife? 　 Raised his hand and put the knife edge in front of the opponent, "I repeat: I am ordered to help here? 　 The military order cannot be violated. If you insist on not, then don't blame me for sending you on the road."

　　 "This is the order of the princess? 　 I am also obliged to wait." The lead guard did not change his expression.

　　 Even when facing the blade hanging over the head? Gong Sheng secretly called himself a surprise, but such soldiers are rare.

　　 But he is the face of the forefront of the Shenzhou Army? 　 There is absolutely no reason to be stopped by a few guards.

　　Killing is for him? 　 is nothing more than simple.

　　 Gong Sheng used his arms to force? 　 slashed at the opponent's head suddenly!

　　 "Look at the arrow!"

　　 With a soft chick, a flying arrow shot out from the city and hit Gong Sheng’s chest straight—

　　 This arrow is extremely fast and its momentum is extremely heavy. Even if he is wearing armor, he may be injured if he is shot.

　　 "Hmm, so courageous!" Gong Sheng had to retract his long knife and put it in his chest. Only heard the right sound, the arrow suddenly broke when it hit the blade, and there was a tingling numbness in his palm.

　　 A lot of strength!

　　 "How dare you count on the dignified Captain, everyone, draw your sword!" The adjutant shouted and was about to lead the team through the city gate, but the archer's next reprimand made her hesitate--

　　 "His Royal Highness Princess Quang Binh is here, who dares to make a mistake!?"

　　 "His Royal Highness...coming?" Not only Lu Honghua, but the cavalry under her hand also had a commotion.

　　 At this time, the guards guarding the gate of the city slowly retreated into the gate and cleared the main road.

　　 I saw only a young woman riding a tall horse, wearing a red robe and white silk, walking unhurriedly in front of Gong Sheng under the guard of a group of black alchemists.

After learning that the Shenzhou army was approaching, Ning Wanjun immediately made countermeasures. On the one hand, she asked Xia Fan to negotiate with Wang Yian, on the other hand, she changed into military uniform, crossed the inland river, and entered the city from the north gate first, trying to catch up. The Shenzhou Army blocked it at the city gate before passing through the Western Wall.

　　 Is this the Princess of Quang Binh who has been entrusted so far?

Gong Sheng looked at her for a long time, then hesitated to put down the long knife and arched his hand at the woman, "The official has seen your highness. If there is a collision and offense, I hope your highness will forgive me. But why does the princess stop me? With military orders, you must immediately—"

"Meet with the government immediately to discuss strategies to suppress the bandits?" Ning Wanjun said calmly, "You are too late. Most of the invading pirates were wiped out two days ago, and a small number of pirates are still being pursued and suppressed. This is also true. Why should I set up a card at the gate of the city? As for the prefect and others you want to meet, unfortunately, they have died in this disaster."

　　 "What are you...saying?" Gong Sheng was so surprised that he couldn't believe his ears, the prefect... died? "What about other officials?"

　　 "There are few survivors above Grade 6~www.ltnovel.com~."

　　 Gong Sheng's head boomed. Doesn't this mean that the government of Jinxia City has been completely eliminated?

　　 He felt a chill from his back. If this news reaches Gyeonggi, I am afraid that the court will be shaken!

　　No, that's not right... If such a big mess really happened, how could Jinxiacheng still be safe now? The calamity that can kill all the chief officials of a city should be a disaster at the riot level, but the situation in the city does not seem to be the case.

　　 "His Royal Highness, it's important, I must confirm it!"

　　 "Of course, we can go to Jinxia Mansion to discuss in detail." Ning Wanjun nodded, "But you can only bring a few people into the city."

　　 "What does this mean?" Gong Sheng protested immediately, "They followed me all the way to support Jinxia, ​​and they are in need of rest and support. You can't let them stay outside the city empty?"

"Resting and replenishing?" Ning Wanjun's voice lowered, "Do you really don't know what will happen to a long-stayed army in the suburbs when it enters the city? Don't forget that the Qiguo imperial family has experienced it in the border army. The people in the city have just gone through a turmoil, and I don’t want them to be subjected to another round of harassment. You—you know what I mean?"

　　 The two were deadlocked for a long time, and Gong Shengcai had to choose to give in. Although this move would cause some dissatisfaction with his subordinates, for him, figuring out everything that happened in Jinxia City as soon as possible was the most important matter at this moment.

　　 After he confessed to a guard in a low voice, he led his adjutant and ten subordinates into Jinxia City with the princess alone.
