Chapter 600 Your Majesty, Bandit Zhao Calls Over

"The ones outside the city are probably the troops of Bandit Zhao. Our capital is not far from Xuanzhen, so I'm afraid they are the soldiers of Bandit Zhao.

I heard before that Zhao bandits sent 20 troops into Shanxi. If Zhao bandits deducted some of the 20 troops to attack the capital, our capital would not be able to stand it. Maybe these soldiers outside the city are really Zhao bandits' soldiers. . "The former defender looked at the night outside the city, his face full of panic.

"It's not right. If this is Zhao's soldiers and horses, it's impossible for only such a small number of people to do it. Although I didn't see the soldiers and horses outside the city, but judging from the sound of these horses' hoofs, there are not too many people. Zhao thief is There is an army of 20, even if it is not closed at night, there can’t be only such a little sound of horseshoes, this thing is weird." Another defender looked in the direction outside the city solemnly and murmured.

"I think we'd better report this matter, in case something happens, it's not something we can handle."

"Okay, then you are watching here now, and I will report this matter. Remember, once a large number of troops appear outside the city, you should immediately ring the alarm bell. Although there are not many horseshoes now, you can't take it lightly. .”

Saying that, a defender ran down the city.

When he ran down, the defenders on the city wall looked out of the city with a look of caution, holding the weapons in their hands tightly.

It didn't take long for the news to reach the palace.

At this time, Chongzhen had returned to the imperial study room and was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study room.

After he finished reviewing the last memorial of the day, he stood up from his chair.

Chongzhen stood behind the chair, stretched his waist, then looked at Gao Qiqian standing behind him, "Go back to the bedroom!"

Gao Qiqian hurriedly followed Chongzhen and walked outside.

When Chongzhen just walked out of the imperial study, a big Han general ran towards this side quickly.

This big Han general is the guard on duty at the palace gate.

His steps were cramped, and his face was full of panic.

Chongzhen looked at the big Han general running towards him, and suddenly an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"Could it be that Henan came eight hundred miles to rush?" Chongzhen looked at the big Han general running towards him, his face full of doubts.

After a few breaths, the big Han general stood in front of Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, it's not good, the thief Zhao is coming!"

The big Han general looked at Chongzhen and shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, Chongzhen's face changed drastically, from white to red. .

Chongzhen pointed at the big Han general with disbelief, and asked tremblingly, "What's going on? Isn't Bandit Zhao in Shanxi? Isn't he attacking Henan? Why did he come to the capital? Didn't hear this kind of news before? Where did you hear this news? Zhao thief really attacked? How did you know this news? What's going on here?"

Chongzhen's face was full of disbelief, and Chongzhen really didn't want to believe that at this moment, the thief Zhao attacked.

Before that, I never heard the slightest news that Zhao bandits were going to attack the capital. Didn't it say that Zhao bandits sent 20 troops to attack Henan.Why did this suddenly come to the capital?No matter how fast thief Zhao was, it was impossible for him to reach the capital in such a short period of time. This is really abnormal.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't Bandit Zhao attacking Henan now? Why did they suddenly approach the city?" Gao Qiqian pointed at the big Han general who was kneeling on the ground, screaming in panic.

Compared with Chongzhen, Gao Qiqian is more afraid of Zhao Wen.Chongzhen had never been to Xuanzhen, so he didn't know the true strength of Xuanzhen.But Gao Qiqian has been to Xuanzhen, although he didn't stay in Xuanzhen for a long time, but he also saw the extraordinary of Xuanzhen.

If Zhao Wen really came to the city at this time, the capital would be taken by Zhao Wen within three days.

"Are you talking nonsense? How could thief Zhao come to the city at this time? If you are talking nonsense, do you know what crime it is? You are guilty of disturbing His Majesty?" Gao Qiqian pointed at this The big Han general yelled and cursed loudly at the big Han general with an angry expression on his face.

"Return to Your Majesty, I really didn't deceive Your Majesty. Just now, the defenders on the city wall suddenly reported that there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside the city. At this time, in this environment, except for the soldiers and horses of Zhao Bandit , I really can’t figure out who would run outside the capital at this time.” The big Han general knelt on the ground and hurriedly explained.

Chongzhen kept breathing heavily, calming down the panic in his heart.

He looked at the big Han general kneeling on the ground, and asked in a deep voice, "Can the defenders on the city wall see the soldiers and horses outside the city clearly? How many soldiers and horses are there outside the city?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the defenders on the city wall did not see the soldiers and horses outside the city. As for the number of soldiers and horses outside the city, they did not see clearly. As for the number of soldiers and horses outside the city, according to the defenders on the city wall, the number should be not many.

And according to what the defenders on the city wall said, the soldiers and horses outside the city should still be far away from the capital.The defenders on the city wall only heard the sound of horseshoes outside the city, but did not see the soldiers and horses outside the city.

But the soldiers and horses that can appear outside the city at this time, except for the soldiers and horses of the thief Zhao, I really can't think of anyone else. "General Dahan didn't dare to hide anything, and told the matter in detail.

When Chongzhen heard this, he began to think unsteadily.

According to Chongzhen, at this time, the soldiers and horses appearing outside the city should not be the soldiers and horses of Zhao thief.

According to the big Han general, the defenders on the city wall did not see the soldiers and horses outside the city.That is to say, the defenders on the city wall didn't know whether the soldiers and horses outside the city were Zhao thief's soldiers and horses, or how many soldiers and horses there were outside the city.

Maybe the soldiers and horses on the city wall misread or heard it wrong.

Chongzhen didn't want to believe the news that Zhao Wen called, so he forced himself to think in another direction.

"Where is the person who reported the news now? I want to see him!" Chongzhen looked at the big Han general and asked.

General Dahan said: "Return to Your Majesty, the soldier who conveyed the news is now outside the palace gate."

"Hurry up and let him come in, I want to see him!" Chongzhen hurriedly urged.

General Dahan saluted Chongzhen, and then ran outside quickly.

Not long after, the soldier who conveyed the news was brought to Chongzhen by several big Han generals,

Although idlers were not allowed to enter the palace at night, Chongzhen didn't care about anything at this time.

Chongzhen looked at the soldier who was kneeling in front of him to convey the news, and asked, "Tell me what happened just now in detail, without any omissions."

The soldier knelt in front of Chongzhen and hastily explained in detail what happened just now.

The soldier had originally reported the news to his superior, and logically, the soldier was not qualified to report such news.

However, his superior is very shrewd. After all, the defenders on the city wall did not see the soldiers and horses outside the city clearly. Not good.

After thinking about it, the soldier's superior asked the soldier to report the news.

Hearing the soldier's voice, Chongzhen frowned tightly.

After the soldier finished speaking, Chongzhen squinted his eyes and looked at the soldier, "What do you mean, you didn't see the soldiers and horses outside the city? And the sound of horseshoes is not too much?"

Hearing this, although Chongzhen let go a lot, he didn't let go completely.

"Return to Your Majesty, it's like this, the little one didn't see the soldiers and horses outside the city, the little one just heard the sound of horseshoes outside the city!" The soldier replied respectfully.

"Confused!" Before Chongzhen could speak, Gao Qiqian shouted and cursed, "I didn't see the appearance of soldiers and horses outside the city, but just relied on some sporadic hoofbeats to say that the Zhao thief was attacking. If the soldiers outside the city Isn't the sound of horseshoes Zhao thief's soldiers and horses?

Do you know what you are doing?You are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor and disturbing His Majesty. Do you know what your crime is? "

"The little one just wanted to report the news quickly, and didn't think too much?" The soldier's expression was horrified when he heard Gao Qiqian's words. He just followed his superior's order to pass on the news, and didn't think so much. many.

"Get out, report the enemy's situation without the detectives understanding it, how can you be so bad?" Chongzhen snorted coldly, and said: "Get out now, and report the news to me after the investigation is clear."

The soldiers hurriedly kowtowed to Chongzhen a few times, and then ran outside in a hurry under the leadership of the big Han general.

Looking at the backs of the soldiers leaving, Chongzhen murmured to himself: "I hope it's not Zhao's soldiers. If they are really Zhao's soldiers, then the capital..."

"Your Majesty, I don't think it should be Zhao Bandit's army. Zhao Bandit is currently in Shanxi, and he is leading an army of 20 troops.

Although thief Zhao is very powerful, he cannot take Henan down in just a few days.

Zhao thief's 20 army is probably his family property, and the soldiers and horses that appeared outside the city should not be Zhao thief's soldiers and horses. "Gao Qiqian stood behind Chongzhen and said with disbelief.

Chongzhen nodded, and said: "Don't go back to the bedroom for now, let's talk about it after the final news comes."

After Chongzhen finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the imperial study.

Not long after, the soldier came to the city wall of the capital.

On the wall where he was stationed, his superior stood on the wall.

"My lord, Your Majesty asked us to find out where the soldiers and horses outside the city are!" The soldier hurried up to the Shangguan and said respectfully.

Shangguan let out a long breath, and looked outside the extremely dark city.His face was full of solemnity, "It's late at night now, how do we investigate? Do we have to go out of the city to investigate?"

"Boom!"

The sound of horseshoes is getting closer and closer. At this time, there is not much distance from the capital.

The defenders on the top of the city heard the louder and louder hoofbeats, and hurriedly became vigilant.

Holding all kinds of weapons tightly, they lay on the top of the city and looked out.

The soldier's superior also closed his mouth and looked out of the city.

No one on the top of the city spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

At this time, Chen Xinjia was less than ten miles away from the capital ahead.

Chen Xinjia was sitting in the carriage, constantly wiping the cold sweat from his brow.

"My lord, the pursuers are not far away from us!" The coachman driving the carriage suddenly shouted towards the carriage.

When Chen Xinjia heard this, the hairs on his body immediately exploded, and he was panicked like a sheep meeting a wild wolf.

"Catch up? Why are they so fast?" Chen Xinjia shouted tremblingly. "How far are we from the capital now?"

"Master, we're less than ten miles away from the capital. But it's night, and we can't get into the capital!" the coachman replied.

"Yeah, it's night now, and the city gate will definitely not open. What should we do now? What should we do?" Chen Xinjia muttered to himself twice.

Chen Xinjia sat in the carriage of the carriage, his face full of panic.

At this moment, it was as if he had just been fished out of the water, and his whole body was drenched with sweat.

"What should I do?" Chen Xinjia kept thinking of a solution, but after much deliberation, he couldn't think of a good solution.

"Master, why don't you get out of the carriage and find a place to hide, so you can distract the pursuers away?" the coachman said suddenly.

Chen Xinjia's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay, this is a good way, master, I don't love you for nothing!"

Those who can follow Chen Xinjia to Xuan Town to seek peace must be Chen Xinjia's absolute confidants, otherwise Chen Xinjia would not take him there.

"Master, you are seated, the little one is going to stop!" The coachman shouted, and then began to slow down, and shouted to the guards who were following the carriage: "Leave a few of you to protect the master, and the rest will follow me." Get those pursuers away!"

"Okay, Zhong Er, Luo Hai..., you guys protect your lord with your chins, and the rest follow me to lead the people behind you away." The guard commander shouted at the big men who were following him.

"understand!"

As soon as the voice fell, the big guys started to slow down.

After a while, the driver suddenly pulled the reins of the horse in his hand and stopped the carriage.

Chen Xinjia got out of the carriage with his identity certificate and some necessary things.

The guards also hurriedly jumped off their horses and led Chen Xinjia to the moat.

After Chen Xinjia left, the coachman flicked the whip in his hand and walked forward.

The guard commander led the rest of the troops to follow behind the carriage, and then ran forward.

These guards were selected by Chongzhen from the Beijing camp to protect Chen Xinjia.

Because the matter of seeking peace cannot be known by outsiders, these people are the confidantes Chongzhen asked Gao Qiqian to choose.

Gao Qiqian was supported by several big men, and ran towards the capital with his waist bent.

The coachman and the remaining guards began to circle along the moat, attracting the pursuers to the distance.

Because of the darkness and the distance, the pursuers behind did not know that Chen Xinjia had got off the carriage.

　Thank you for your reward, thank you for your support! ! !
