Chapter 696 It’s Interesting To Make Things Bigger
Yun Chu had just poured water, Xu Jingzong drove the carriage quickly like a frightened donkey, and hurriedly arrived at the military camp where Yun Chu was located under the escort of a large group of generals.

At this moment, Yun Chu had just changed his clothes and a pair of baggy trousers, and sat naked under a tree drinking tea.

Seeing Xu Jingzong coming in a hurry, he frowned.

He didn't like to see Xu Jingzong, but after Xu Jingzong saw him and the miserable soldiers who were drilled all over the ground, he felt a burst of joy for no reason.

Before entering the barracks, he asked the people in Zuo Wuwei, and learned that Yunchu was running around with this group of government soldiers during this period of time. in one breath.

At any rate, he was the prime minister, Yun Chu stood up to greet Xu Jingzong, waving a cattail fan. As soon as he met Xu Jingzong, he said, "Luozhou governor Sun Chengqian, Sima Jiang Yucheng, don't let Pei Yong be beheaded at the Luozhou governor's office."

Yun Chu sneered when he heard the words, "Didn't you say that this is not a serious matter?"

Xu Jingzong shook his head and said: "This matter is extremely strange, Sun Chengqian and the three should be executed according to the law, but His Majesty spared them from death in order to calm things down.

As a result, under the bright daylight, twelve soldiers broke into the governor's office, beheaded in the hall, and their heads were nailed to the lintel of the governor's office. This is a demonstration to His Majesty. "

Yunchu laughed loudly when he heard the words: "I never thought there would be such a hero in Luoyang, I'm eager to see him."

Seeing Yun Chu's triumphant smile, Xu Jingzong said coldly: "Since it wasn't Marquis Yun who made the move, I can rest assured."

Yun Chu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and immediately said angrily: "I thought you were here to drink tea, but I didn't expect you to come here to investigate the case?"

Xu Jingzong said: "I will investigate, you still have room to evade, your Majesty will investigate, you will die without a place to bury you."

Yun Chu said angrily: "What have I done, you want me to die without a burial place?"

Xu Jingzong pointed to a young man who had just entered the barracks and said, "Your Majesty's men are here."

Yunchu saw from a distance that the person was Zhang Donghai from Baiqisi, so he said loudly: "Come on, the murderer is the prime minister Xu Jingzong!"

Xu Jingzong reprimanded: "Be more serious, His Majesty is so angry that he fell ill again."

Hearing what Xu Jingzong said, Yun Chu put away his cynical attitude and said worriedly: "A good person, how can he stand such a stimulus."

Zhang Donghai came in front of Yunchu, held up a gold medal and said, "Hou Yunchu of Lantian listens to the order."

Yun Chu got up and clasped his fists and said, "My minister Yun Chu listens to the order."

Zhang Donghai said loudly: "Your Majesty asked Yunchu, where was he three quarters ago?"

Yun Chu said in a deep voice: "Three quarters ago, Yun Chu was training in the military training ground."

Zhang Donghai said: "Your Majesty asked, is there any witness?"

Yun Chu frowned and said: "The five thousand soldiers of the government can prove it. If it is not enough, the Zuowuwei Military Academy can prove it. If it is not enough, the Prime Minister Xu Jingzong can prove it."

Hearing what Yunchu said, Xu Jingzong looked at Yunchu, originally wanting to distinguish, but he didn't know what he was thinking, so he shut up.

Zhang Donghai said: "Your Majesty's questioning is over."

After speaking, he jumped off his horse and hurriedly came to Yunchu and said, "Three quarters ago, Luozhou governor, Sima, don't be assassinated by twelve heavy armored knights at the governor's office."

After walking around Zhang Donghai, Yun Chu said: "Are you sure that twelve soldiers killed the governor on the spot in Luoyang city, in the governor's office three quarters of an hour ago, Sima, don't drive?"

Zhang Donghai followed Yunchu in a circle and said, "It's true."

Yun Chu looked at Zhang Donghai suspiciously and said, "Where's the soldier?"

Zhang Donghai frowned and said, "Escape without a trace!"

Yun Chu said: "You mean, the twelve heavy armored knights disappeared without a trace after killing three officials in the city?"

Zhang Donghai nodded again and again, "That's true."

Yun Chu turned his head and said to his generals: "Twelve people put on their armor and mounted their horses."

In a short time, twelve heavy cavalry of the Tang Dynasty in heavy armor came to the crowd fully armed.

Yun Chu pointed to the twelve armored soldiers and asked Xu Jingzong and Zhang Donghai: "Are you sure they are the twelve heavy armored cavalry?"

Zhang Donghai nodded and said, "Indeed."

After Yunchu and Xu Jingzong walked around the group of cavalry, the two looked at each other, and Yunchu then asked, "You didn't find such a big target?"

Zhang Donghai said with some shame: "It's true that I didn't find it. I also asked the guards at the city gate, but I didn't see the twelve cavalrymen leaving the city. According to the officials of the governor's office, those people seemed to have gone to the inner city. However, the Jinwu Guards in the inner city did not." I have not seen twelve soldiers entering the inner city."

Yun Chu seemed to have lost all thought of asking the truth, and said to Zhang Donghai: "Xu Gong said that His Majesty is uneasy, please ask General Zhang to greet His Majesty on my behalf, and also, help me to report to the Queen, whether Yun Chu is allowed to wear armor to sleep with His Majesty?" guard."

Zhang Donghai promised, and hurriedly led the people back to return to his orders.

Yun Chu looked at Xu Jingzong worriedly and said, "I want to enter the palace to serve as His Majesty's guard, Xu Gong can ask His Majesty for orders on my behalf."

Xu Jingzong said: "What are you doubting?"

Yun Chu looked into Xu Jingzong's eyes and said, "It's exactly what Xu Gong had in mind."

Xu Jingzong said: "Anyone knows what I think, but the old man is planning to spend the night in this barracks, so I ask Marquis Yun for permission."

Yun Chu said: "At this moment, it's not the time for me to back down. If a certain family wants to enter the palace to defend His Majesty, Mr. Xu is willing to go with me?"

Xu Jingzong shook his head and said: "If you are 50 years younger, the old man will naturally be responsible. At this moment, the old man is already very old and no longer the courage of the past."

Yun Chu looked at Xu Jingzong and said: "Although a three-foot boy, when disaster strikes, he still has the responsibility to defend His Majesty."

Xu Jingzong smiled with his mouth showing a few missing teeth: "Marquis Yun is the Marquis of Guannei at such a young age, it seems that he is not only outstanding in meritorious service, but also knows how to be an official.

If the old man had the ability of Marquis Yun back then, he would have been crowned king long ago. "

Yun Chu said angrily, "Go or not."

Xu Jingzong shook his head resolutely and said: "I won't go, the old man feels cold occasionally, and I plan to borrow a quiet room in the military camp of Marquis Yun to adjust my breath for a day."

Yun Chu was about to speak, when suddenly there was a violent roar from the Mang Mountain not far away, and immediately, a puff of black smoke rose into the sky.

"Gunpowder?" Yun Chu screamed, and before Xu Jingzong could react, he threw the old thief into the carriage, and shouted at the generals: "Put me in armor and bring me a weapon."

Under Xu Jingzong's puzzled eyes, with the help of his generals, Yunchu finished dressing up in the shortest time, and said to Xu Jingzong holding up his horse: "The most important thing is to protect His Majesty now, do you want to go?" go?"

Xu Jingzong sighed and said, "Go, go, go."

What happened in Beiman Mountain? Yunchu didn't care about the management. He not only brought his family generals, but also Xu Jingzong and his family generals. More than half of it.

On the way, I also met several soldiers and horses who went to Beimang Mountain to investigate the cause of the explosion, and they were also carried by Yunchu to the city of Luoyang.

Thousands of heavily armed soldiers and horses rushed towards Luoyang City with smoke and dust, and a low-pitched horn sounded from the top of the city, and then the suspension bridge on the moat was erected high, all the gates were closed, and the top of the city was closed. A dense army of soldiers appeared, with bows and arrows aimed at the soldiers and horses coming.

Yunchu's family came to the city on horseback, held up Yunchu's token and shouted towards the top of the city: "Marquis of Lantian, Wannian county magistrate Yunchu, Gaoyang county magistrate, Zhongshu ordered Xu Jingzong to come to defend our emperor. "

After a while, Jin Wuwei General Cheng Chumo appeared at the top of the city, looked at Yunchu indifferently and said, "Your Majesty is here to defend His Majesty? There is no need, leave immediately."

Yun Chu urged his horse forward slowly, looked at Cheng Chu at the top of the wall and said silently: "Let General Qi Bi He Li come out and speak."

Cheng Chumo still said coldly: "The general doesn't see you."

Yun Chu was furious, and he pointed his bow and arrow at Cheng Chumo and said: "Twelve fully armed soldiers killed officials in the daytime and disappeared in the garrison of the sixteen guards. A certain family is going to enter the city to defend His Majesty. You are embarrassing me like this, you Want to rebel?"

Cheng Chumo was not afraid of Yunchu's bow and arrow, and said with a sneer, "You use force to break the ban, who is rebelling?"

Yunchu slowly loosened the drawn bowstring, and said silently to Cheng Chu at the head of the city: "Don't treat me as an enemy, if you are still a subject of my Tang Dynasty, you should quickly lead the troops to defend the imperial city, find the culprits and fight them immediately. Kill me instead of trying to talk to me here."

As he spoke, he backed away slowly, to the outside of the stone's throw, and waited for Cheng Chumo to report the situation here to the emperor.

Xu Jingzong saw the anxious expression on Yunchu's face, and the bay red horse under his crotch was also pawing the dirt with its hooves irritably. Whether it was the man or the war horse under his crotch, it seemed that they were worried about the emperor's safety at this moment.

"Do you really care about His Majesty's safety?" Xu Jingzong couldn't help asking.

Yun Chu nodded and said: "The good life of the people of the Tang Dynasty has only just begun, and your Majesty's safety cannot be compromised."

Xu Jingzong said: "There are sixteen soldiers and horses here."

Yun Chu sneered and said, "What I'm most worried about right now is the sixteen guards and horses who command the soldiers in the world."

Xu Jingzong grinned and said: "If you act like this, you will offend the sixteen guards."

Yun Chu said anxiously: "Your Majesty shouldn't have abandoned Chang'an and come to Luoyang. These farts will happen in Chang'an."

Xu Jingzong scratched his chin and said, "Your Majesty, don't involve yourself in the tricks. We are all people who watch the tricks, not the ones who will perform the tricks later."

Just when Yunchu was chattering with Xu Jingzong, Zhang Donghai suddenly appeared on the city gate and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, order Xu Jingzong to meet with Yunchu."

As he spoke, the suspension bridge on the moat was lowered, and at the same time, the side door of the city gate was opened, allowing only a carriage to pass through.

It seems that the emperor only allowed the two of them to enter the city, and did not intend to let these more than 1000 people enter the city with them.

Yun Chu estimated that Di Renjie and the others should have already run away, so he mobilized his horses and entered the city together with Xu Jingzong's carriage.

Cheng Chumo was at the gate of the city, and when he saw Yunchu was fully armed, he yelled at him, "Remove the armor!"

Yunchu's horse lance made a full circle and then stabbed viciously towards Cheng Chumo's throat. Cheng Chumo swung the horse lance away, but Yunchu's horse lance bounced twice on his horse lance, and each hit was heavier than the previous one. The horse lance in Cheng Chumo's hand jumped up, and when his horse lance turned into a bow, Yunchu's horse lance brushed against Cheng Chumo's horse lance and stabbed forward stubbornly.

Cheng Chumo reluctantly turned sideways, and Yunchu's horse spear pierced his armor, sticking to his flesh and piercing the armor on his shoulder.

With a loud shout, Yun Chu lifted Cheng Chumo from the horse, then threw it heavily on the ground, spat and said, "With your ability, you are worthy of letting me take off your armor."

Xu Jingzong looked at the arrogant Yun Chu and sighed, "You are completely giving Sixteen Guards no face at all."

Yun Chu looked at Cheng Chu who was ashamed and angry, and said silently: "If it was Lu Gong back then, I wouldn't dare to say such a thing, just him? It's not as far away as Lu Gong was back then."

After finishing speaking, the bay red horse stepped over Cheng Chumo's body, and walked slowly towards the imperial city together with Xu Jingzong's carriage.

At this time, on the wide Luoyang Avenue, there was not a single local person to be seen, only Yun Chu and Xu Jingzong's two-wheeled carriage stubbornly walked towards the inner city at the end of the long street.
