Chapter 92: Westbound Substitution, Cheating Cheng Xinchui

Gods.

finally reached.

Regardless of admiring the towering city walls of the divine capital, Zhang Hua quickly went to the side to line up after seeing Lao Huang's carriage entering the city.

After a little observation, there were not many people leaving the city through the two small gates on the left and right. There were already several long lines of people entering the city. At a glance, there were hundreds of people.

It is not difficult to guess from the way these people dress and carry backpacks and burdens that they should all be villagers from nearby villages. Most of them go to the city to sell some agricultural products and then purchase some daily necessities.

As for going back empty-handed, that's unlikely. After all, you need to pay an entry fee to enter the city, and it's not easy to go there. It's not long since the city gate opened in the morning, and these people probably set off from home before dawn.

Because of the map, Zhang Hua did not attract the attention of others when observing these people. After carefully observing the appearance of several fishermen, he bowed his upper body slightly, as if he was a little hunchbacked. In addition, he The coir raincoat and bamboo hat he was wearing did not look out of place at all among the villagers.

Perhaps because of the good disguise, Zhang Hua was not interrogated by the guards. He simply paid three copper coins as the entry fee and easily slipped into the city.

After entering the city, it was simple. I walked to Li Ying's carriage parked on the roadside, waved his fishing rod, and then followed him all the way to the inn... Finally, I found an opportunity to sneak into the carriage and change into a warrior's short clothes, but his face was dark. A little more.

In a superior guest room, seeing Zhang Hua sneaking in, Xinlan's eyes lit up and she rushed over: "Brother Xiao Hua..."

"Wait, close the door first."

"Oh." Xinlan responded obediently. After Zhang Hua closed the door, she immediately threw herself into his arms and whispered softly: "Xiaohua, why didn't you come to me last night? It's so cold outside. If it's freezing, What should I do if I get caught?”

How could it be frozen!I also took a hot bath, I don't know how comfortable it is.

Zhang Hua, who stayed in the "Personal Home" for a night, did not tell the truth, but just explained: "Aren't you afraid that Lao Huang and the others would find out last night? Besides, I have the cultivation level of a martial artist, so how could I be freezing!"

"That's not comfortable either. Martial arts training isn't meant to withstand the cold."

Xinlan raised her little head and said seriously: "Brother Xiaohua, just sleep in the house tonight, and when we have dinner later, I will also send the waiter to the house. As long as we don't go out, no one will I didn’t know you were hiding inside.”

Hide in the room!
Zhang Hua looked at it and realized that it was indeed a good idea. He was immediately moved. No matter how good his home was, it would not be as comfortable as holding his wife!
"Okay, then I won't leave. You can talk to my sister and the others later, so they won't worry about me being outside alone."

"...Ah, okay, I'll go right away, you wait here..."

After hearing that Zhang Hua agreed to stay, Xinlan hurriedly broke away from his arms happily and ran out after confessing.

Zhang Hua: "..."

We haven’t kissed yet, so it would be nice to hold her for a while!

After a while, Xinlan came back, and Cheng Xinchui came with her. After meeting, there was a lot of blame and greetings, which made Zhang Hua feel a little uncomfortable. He felt like a child who had run away from home, even though he was already married. Yeah, and I haven’t seen him for just one night.

Fortunately, for fear of disturbing the newly married couple, Cheng Xinchui left not long after. She and Li Ying both wanted to go out to inquire about the situation. They also had to go to Yahang to check on the house. After all, the inn was not a long-term stay. You have to settle down sooner than later.

When Zhang Hua and Xin Lan were the only two people left in the room, the atmosphere suddenly changed. They hugged and kissed each other. If it weren't for the fact that it was still daytime and Xin Lan was more resistant, the two of them would have been having fun. Went to bed.

Xinlan also went down for lunch and asked the waiter to bring it. At the same time, she also reserved a table for Lao Huang and the others. Their whole family had left their hometowns to follow them. She must be nice to them and order the meals for them as fast as Xinlan herself. That's almost it.

After eating, he hugged the beauty and took a nap for a while. Not long after getting up, Li Ying and the others came back, and they also brought back a piece of bombshell news.

Duan Zhigang was removed from his position as general!

Although it was expected, it was a bit too fast!How long has passed!No need to investigate?
"In today's court meeting, not only Duan Zhigang was removed from his post, but even Youwuwei was transferred back to rest."

Li Ying took a sip of tea and continued: "Do you know why Youwuwei went to Qingcheng? It turns out that the imperial court had already intended to send troops to the northwest.

Originally, the two guards should have gone there immediately after dealing with the devils in Lin'an City and Qingcheng. Who knew that such an incident in You Wuwei would delay the layout of the court, and those big bosses in the Ministry of War would have the heart to chop Duan Zhigang up. Yes, even if he is dismissed, he will be given a lighter sentence. "

It is not unexpected that the imperial court wants to send troops to the northwest. When the demons appeared in the two cities, everyone knew that the demons wanted to take action against the demon-suppressing army. Now it is expected that the imperial court will send reinforcements.

However, what is surprising is why it is You Wuwei and You Xiaowei!

The twelve guards in Shendu are mainly cavalry. They are good at field battles, but not good at attacking and defending cities!Can't we dispatch county soldiers from various places as before?
Compared with the Twelve Guards, those county soldiers were inferior in terms of high-end force. The ordinary soldiers were not much different. On the contrary, they were more experienced in defending the city.

Also, if the Youwu Guards are transferred back, then only one Youxiao Guard will go to the northwest for support. Is the force sufficient?

With doubts in his mind, Zhang Hua immediately asked: "Brother-in-law, when the Youwu Guards return to Shendu, has the court mentioned which army should be sent to take over? Or should they mobilize county soldiers?"

"It's... not easy to say."

Li Ying glanced at the two sisters who were talking softly next to him, and continued: "I heard that Lu Guogong took the lead in asking for a fight at the court meeting, and later Xu Guogong and Zhao Guogong were not to be outdone, and asked you to ask for help.

In order to grab this spot, several people almost got into a fight in the court, and the court meeting was turned into a mess, so it was abandoned, so it was not decided who would go.

However, the military situation is urgent, and His Majesty and the Ministry of War will not delay it. There should be an answer in the next two days!I heard that as soon as the court came down, the princes immediately returned to camp to prepare. "

The three princes ask for a battle!

Among the Twelve Guards of the Divine Capital, a total of eight generals hold the title of duke, and the other four are also prominent marquises.

It is estimated that only these three princes are in court today. The others are either on duty or have something to do. Otherwise, they will definitely not miss this opportunity to lead troops to fight, especially the four marquis who are in urgent need of military merit. .

Moreover, Duke Lu was the first to ask for a fight!

Zhang Hua couldn't help but look at Xinlan and the others. General Cheng was their father. Logically speaking, the one who first requested the battle was most likely to be selected. If it was really Duke Lu who went to the northwest, they would definitely be worried. Bar!After all, this is a war, and people will die.

As if she sensed Zhang Hua's gaze, Xinlan turned around and said strangely: "What's wrong, Brother Xiao Hua, what can I do for you?"

"What could be wrong with him? I just heard that the old guy might go to the battlefield, so we are worried."

Cheng Xintui went out with Li Ying to find out the news. She already knew about this morning's court meeting, so when Xinlan looked worried, she patted the back of the other person's hand and said:

"Little sister, that old guy is a general. It is his destiny and his duty to go to the battlefield. It is useless for us to worry. Besides, he has four sons, so he is not afraid of having no heirs.

Moreover, he has enjoyed so many blessings as the Duke of the country, even if he hangs out, it is worth it. If you are still worried, then after he leaves, we can just give him a few more sticks of incense to pray for blessings. "

Xinlan: "..."

Li Ying and Zhang Hua: "..."

Looking at Cheng Xintui, who was always uncomfortable, several people had black lines on their faces.

That's your father, dear, does he talk like this?
Even Zhang Hua and Li Ying suspected that General Cheng could survive until now because Cheng Xinchui had been away for ten years, otherwise she would have been mad to death.

Looking at Xinlan who was getting more and more worried, Zhang Hua hurried forward to reassure her: "Don't listen to my sister's nonsense, with General Cheng's ability, how could there be any accidents, Shenwuwei is the strongest army of the Twelve Guards... "

"That's just what the outside world thinks. In fact, Shenwuwei is not the strongest..."

Looking at the "Don't make trouble" looks from several people, Cheng Xinzui said calmly: "What I said is the truth. The Shenwu Guard is ranked third at most. Whether it is the Yulin Guard or the Xuanwu Guard, which one is worse than the Shenwu Guard?"

Why was my sister-in-law not beaten to death by her father-in-law when she was a child?

"Madam, and Xinlan, well... if you are really worried, why don't we do it again..."

Li Ying scratched his head beside him and said with some emotion: "Just like how we dealt with Duan, we also attack the Shenwu Guards?"

brush!
The three of them looked at Li Ying in shock at the same time!
"What's wrong?" Li Ying said with some confusion: "At most, just like Duan, Duke Lu was dismissed from the post of general. It's not more dangerous than going to the battlefield!"

"Haha!" Cheng Xintui said with a half-smile, "Husband, I didn't expect you to actually want to do something to your father-in-law! Tell me, have you had this idea for a long time?"

"No, how dare I!" Li Ying quickly shook his head in denial.

"It turns out that I didn't dare, it's not that I didn't want to!"

Cheng Xintui appeared next to Li Ying in a flash, then "held" Li Ying's arm intimately with one hand, and said with a smile: "Husband, since you want to, let's go back to the room and plan our actions!
This plan must be more detailed. After all, I may not be the opponent of the old guy, and the Shenwuwei will not be as slow to react as the Youwuwei. If one of them fails, my life will be in danger... "

Seeing Li Ying's body stiffly being "held" by Cheng Xinchui as he walked out step by step, Zhang Hua and Xinlan turned around unbearably... Even if they were trying to die, they couldn't save this guy.

Fortunately, after such a commotion, the tense atmosphere just now has been diluted, and after some comfort from Zhang Hua, Xinlan's worries have also eased a lot.

It's right to think about it. As a general, he has experienced so many wars in his life. How can something happen so easily? They are worried, maybe they are still having fun!
...

Shenwuwei Military Camp.

Zhang Hua and the others' guess was good. Looking at the edict in their hands, Cheng Jinshan was indeed very happy.

It’s not easy. He petitioned the northwest so many times before without success. After You Wuwei and You Xiaowei set off, he had been disappointed and gave up. But he didn’t expect that he could actually regain it now. Speaking of which, he still wanted to Thank you to those who attacked Youwuwei!
What a nice guy!
Looking at the cheerful Cheng Jinshan, Shangguan Qingzhu took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to the other party with a smile, and said: "General Cheng, there is another secret letter here. Your Majesty asked me to show it to you."

Is there any secret order?

Cheng Jinshan's eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed in the direction of the palace, then took the secret letter and read it, and then... his smile gradually disappeared.

Ouch...these two unfilial daughters are really cheating their father...
