The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1242 The Horn of War

"What's going on?" Gu Chengyu looked at the people who scattered in front of the city gate. They didn't even have time to take the things they were carrying, and they just fled around.

Bamboo baskets, burdens, burdens and other things were scattered all over the ground at the gate of the city, which shows how anxious these people are running.

"It seems that I heard these people say that an army is coming, and I don't know whose army it is. Could it be that the thieves in Daxing are so rampant that they even came to Wujun Mansion?"

Ming Yan was also a little surprised, after all, there is still a Fengqing mansion away from the border!There is also Zifeng Mansion to the south of Fengqing Mansion, how could it be possible to call here?
Gu Chengyu thought for a moment, "Maybe it's not Daxing's army!"

Ming Mo used his lightness skills and squeezed into the city gate the moment it closed.Holding the post high, he yelled at the soldiers who closed the city gate: "Do you dare to open the city gate, do you know who my lord is?"

The soldiers defending the city wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads, secretly thanking them for their cleverness, and finally closed the city gate before the rebels arrived.

Who would have thought that before he had time to take a deep breath, he heard someone swearing at him.He turned around and looked over, and saw that the other party was holding a name card in his hand.

The customs of the people at the border are tough, and these soldiers are all tall and big, and they are used to being domineering on weekdays.Suddenly a thin young man came and yelled at them, so he was naturally unhappy.

However, they are used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and they also know how to pick the soft persimmons.Before confirming the identity of the other party, he didn't dare to be too rampant.

"Haven't you heard that the army is coming? If the city gate is not closed and the army invades the city, this Wujun Mansion will be captured by the opponent. You just said your lord, who is your lord?"

They have seen most of the big shots here, and they are naturally no strangers to the entourage around the big shots.This place is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the imperial court, and the sky is far away from the emperor. Who will take care of these barren lands?
They seldom heard of those senior members above the second and third ranks.For them, the general guarding the border is already the most important person in the highest official position.

"My lord is the supervisory censor sent by the imperial court. Do you dare to lock the censor sent by the imperial court outside the city gate?" Ming Mo squinted, and the cold and stern gaze made the soldiers guarding the city tremble.

Ming Mo was very impatient with these ignorant people, "Aren't you going to open the city gate?"

Supervise the censor?Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, they were just the lowest guard soldiers, how could they understand these temporary official positions?

"Slap!" A young general behind him slapped the soldier in front, knocking his head off.

"You don't wink, this is the supervisory censor sent by the imperial court. How dare you lock people out of the city gate? Why don't you open the gate soon?"

This young general had heard the magistrate mention it before, saying that the imperial court sent a supervisory censor down. Although he was going to Yuhe Pass, he would also pass through their Wujun Mansion.

It's just that the censor was a few days later than they expected, and he forgot because of the many things these few days.

The authority of the supervisory censor is very great. If this lord feels that the Wujun Mansion is disrespectful to him, it is disrespect to the court and the emperor.

The emperor had just ascended the throne, and it was time to establish his prestige.At that time, this adult will take a copy of the magistrate's lord, and the magistrate will definitely make him unable to eat and walk around.

"This? Doesn't it mean that the army is coming soon?" The soldier hesitated. If he opened the city gate and let those rebels in, he would be a sinner through the ages.

"Are you stupid? Just drive for a while, how can the army be so fast? Besides, who knows whether what the man said just now is true or not? Our scouts and secret whistle didn't respond. If it really came, would they not send a signal? Besides, we are not unprepared, the rows of archers on the city wall are vegetarians? If they come, let them go and never return!"

The young general scolded the soldier angrily, with a bit of arrogance on his face.

Judging from his age, Ming Mo should be as old as him, presumably because of his family background.I didn't take a closer look just now, but after a closer look now, I found that this person should be a hundred.

Baihu is in charge of Baihusuo, and it is subordinate to Qianhusuo. It is a hereditary military position, and it is a six-rank official position.However, the status of military generals in the Dayan Dynasty has always been lower than that of civilian officials, and this sixth-rank military general can only bow his head and salute when he meets the sixth-rank civil servants.

But the other party is so young, he can become a military officer of the sixth rank, and the power here in the family is not low.

The Baihu handed over his hand, and Ming Mo put the name card into the other party's hand.

"So it's Mr. Gu!" The person nodded after reading it, as if he had confirmed the authenticity.Just looking at the official position behind him again, he discovered a novelty.

"Eh? Mr. Gu is an official of Dali Temple?" The hundred households were a little surprised. Generally, the inspectors sent down are officials from the Inspectorate. It is really rare to send someone directly from Dali Temple. Could it be that they want to investigate the case?

Ming Mo is not in the mood to chat with the other party at the moment, "My lord, my lord is still outside the city gate, and I don't know if there is any danger. Please open the city gate wide and let our carriage in!"

"Open the city gate!" Baihu also knew that this was not the time for clichés, so he ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.

"My lord, the city gate is open, we have to enter the city quickly! It is estimated that the army is coming, and there are quite a few of them!"

Ming Yan already felt the shaking of the earth, and even the carriage trembled slightly.

"Come in!" Gu Chengyu opened the curtain and glanced around, the city gate had a wide view, but it was probably too late to leave this place of right and wrong.

It's just that the Wujun Mansion doesn't know if it can hold it. The war has really begun.

The carriage quickly entered the city, and the hundred households hurried up to greet them, "Wang Shouyi of the humble hundred households pays homage to Mr. Gu!"

"Wang Baihu doesn't need to be too polite! The enemy is about to attack, so please Wang Baihu prepare to defend the city as soon as possible, and arrange people to report to the border and ask for reinforcements!"

Gu Chengyu also didn't care about the small talk, his eyebrows were already on fire, so why pay attention to those vain etiquette?
Wang Baihu was originally surprised by Gu Chengyu's appearance, but seeing that this person was very young, who seemed to be about the same age as himself, he felt a little strange.

But when he came back to his senses, he heard Gu Chengyu say that the enemy army was attacking.

"Impossible, there is no news from the scouts or the secret whistle!" But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a low horn sound, and he looked to the north in surprise. This direction was the observation tower.

"Quick! Prepare your defenses! Archers are ready, an enemy army is coming!"

Wang Shouyi groaned secretly in his heart, why didn't those scouts and secret whistles send any news?Although he got the news in the past two days and made some rough preparations, he is only a hundred households and has limited authority.

He has too few soldiers in his hand, it seems that he has to ask Shangfeng for instructions and go to the border to ask for reinforcements.
