Comprehensive martial arts: Beiliang Longson, Li Hanyi asks the sword at the beginning

Chapter 174 The Emperor panicked
Just when the emperor came up with this idea.

A young eunuch with a letter in his hand rushed into the Pearl Palace, knelt down in front of Zhao Chun and reported: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report coming from outside the palace!"

When Zhao Chun heard this, he immediately said: "Read it!"

The little eunuch opened the letter and said loudly: "A cavalry army of almost [-] riders has taken control of Shanhaiguan, and surrounded Master Gu, the Minister of War, and the [-] defenders guarding Shanhaiguan!"

Although he had already guessed that Shanhaiguan had fallen, when he actually heard the news, Zhao Chun's heart still stirred up quite a stir.

"Shanhai Pass is under control. Even if the troops stationed near the pass are mobilized, they will not be able to get in for a while and will not be able to provide timely support."

The news from the little eunuch is undoubtedly very bad news for Zhao Chun.

He frowned tightly and his face became very gloomy.

"You go down and investigate again, and report any news to me in a timely manner."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The little eunuch responded, then stood up and left.

"There are [-] cavalry at Shanhaiguan, plus the [-] cavalry that broke into Kyoto, a total of [-] cavalry. With such a large scale, why has there been no news at all before?"

"Who is so capable that he can bring such a large number of cavalry troops to the vicinity of Kyoto without anyone noticing?"

"In addition, how strong are the combat effectiveness of those iron cavalry? Even though they were at a numerical disadvantage, they were able to surround the [-] elite defenders guarding Shanhaiguan. And this was with Gu Jiantang leading the troops. It’s really unbelievable!”

"If those iron cavalry are too brave and powerful, can the Imperial Forest Army and the City Guards resist?"

"If the Royal Forest Army and the City Guards cannot withstand the [-] cavalry, and if the other party deliberately rebels, the entire Kyoto will be in danger."

"The current situation is really very serious!"

After thinking about this, Zhao Chun, who was deep in thought, frowned even more tightly, and the worry on his face became more intense.

Not only the emperor, but also the eunuchs Eunuch Zeng and Zhao Kui realized the seriousness of the matter.

Although the chief eunuch and Zhao Kui were not as worried as Zhao Chun, they both looked solemn and frowned.

The three of them were silent.

The atmosphere in the courtyard became very depressing.

From beginning to end, only Zhao Wuji remained calm and calm.

The reason why Zhao Wuji can do this is because all the things that are happening now are all done by him, and everything is under his control!
"Shanhaiguan and Tai'an City are hundreds of miles apart. Even the Snow Dragon Cavalry, which travels thousands of miles a day, will take some time to reach Tai'an City. This idle time is idle, so why not continue to have fun."

Zhao Wuji, who was in a good mood, comforted Zhao Chun and said: "Your Majesty, the city defense army in Kyoto and the Imperial Forest Army have a total of 6 troops. They are fully capable of defending Tai'an City. You don't need to worry so much."

"Let's continue playing chess!"

"Maybe there will be good news later."

Zhao Wuji was not in a hurry to have a showdown with the emperor.

He had put in so much effort this time, so naturally he wanted to perform well.

Zao Wuji wants to show off his muscles to the world and let everyone know how strong he is!
He wanted to tell the world that no matter who he was in the future, he would have to consider whether he was qualified before provoking Zhao Wuji!

Zhao Chun had doubts about Zhao Wuji before. Now after hearing Zhao Wuji's words, his doubts about Zhao Wuji became even stronger.

The emperor stared at Zhao Wuji and asked tentatively: "Zhao Wuji, are you not worried at all? Are you afraid that someone is deliberately plotting rebellion and will lead those cavalry into the palace?"

Zhao Wuji smiled slightly at Zhao Chun: "Your Majesty, Kyoto's defense is not so bad, right?"

"There are only [-] cavalry, how can they enter the palace?"

Zhao Chun said in a deep voice: "Those cavalry were able to control Shanhaiguan and trap the [-] elite defenders led by Gu Jiantang. This is enough to show that those cavalry are very brave and powerful."

"Although Kyoto is defended by [-] Imperial Guards and [-] City Guards, they may not be able to defend against those [-] cavalry."

It’s better if you can’t prevent it!

Zhao Wuji smiled secretly in his heart, and then said: "Your Majesty, whether you can prevent it or not, you will only know if you try it."

"Besides, it's still unclear whether the cavalry who broke into Kyoto will rebel. It's useless for you to worry now."

Zhao Chun said coldly: "I really don't know whether you are really so unworried or if you are so arrogant." Zhao Wuji smiled slightly and said: "Maybe it's both."

Zhao Chun changed the topic: "Zhao Wuji, do those cavalry have anything to do with you?"

Zao Wou-Ki is very talented in acting, and he gave the emperor some actor-level acting skills.

Zhao Wuji was stunned at first, and then smiled and said: "Your Majesty, do you think I can get so many cavalry? And I still have the courage to do these things?"

Zhao Chun kept staring at Zhao Wuji, but he did not see that Zhao Wuji was fooling him.

In addition, Zhao Chun did not think that Zhao Wuji would have so many powerful cavalry under his command.

As a result, he temporarily dispelled his doubts about Zhao Wuji.

"Just in case, I want to summon the ministers to discuss countermeasures, so I won't play chess with you here."

After leaving these words, Zhao Chun stood up and left.

The great eunuch, Eunuch Zeng, looked deeply at Zhao Wuji and then followed the emperor closely.

After the emperor and the chief eunuch left, Zhao Kui couldn't help but ask Zhao Wuji, "Brother, what's going on?"

Zhao Wuji stood up from the chair, then reached out and rubbed Zhao Kui's little head, and said softly: "Xiao Kui, no matter what happens, you don't have to worry about it, and you don't have to worry."

"Go and clean up now. My brother plans to take you out of Kyoto today."

Zhao Kui was smart. When she heard what Zhao Wuji said, she knew that the [-] cavalry taking control of Shanhaiguan and the [-] cavalry breaking into Kyoto were all related to Zhao Wuji.

Although Zhao Kui was worried, she was too sensible to ask any questions.

She just stared at Zhao Wuji and said in a pleading tone: "Brother, don't forget what you agreed with me. No matter what you do, you must ensure that you are safe and sound."

Zhao Wuji smiled and nodded: "Xiao Kui, don't worry, brother will remember it!"

Zhao Kui nodded and said nothing more.

Zhao Kui also wanted to leave Kyoto and wanted to stay with Zhao Wuji all the time.

So she didn't think much about it, but followed Zhao Wuji's instructions and immediately went to the palace to pack her things.

After Zhao Kui left, Zhao Wuji was the only one left in the yard.

Zao Wuji raised his head and looked at the dazzling scorching sun, and said to himself in a sonorous tone: "I have to sing to the fullest in such a big play today!"

After leaving the Pearl Palace, Zhao Chun took the old eunuch directly to the Jinluan Palace.

"Zeng Zhan, do you think Zhao Wuji's behavior just now is strange?"

Zhao Chun still believed that there was something fishy about Zhao Wuji, so he couldn't help but talk about Zhao Wuji with his most trusted old eunuch.

The old eunuch named Zeng Zhan pondered for a moment and then whispered: "Reporting to Your Majesty, in my opinion, the young prince's behavior just now is indeed a bit strange."

"Logically speaking, the young prince should be worried when he learned that cavalry troops with unknown intentions broke into Kyoto, but he was not worried at all, as if these things had nothing to do with him."

"Of course, this is just my objective view."

"Perhaps the young prince is so courageous and doesn't worry about those things at all."

Zhao Chun said: "You have been talking for a long time and you are still not sure."

The old eunuch smiled bitterly and nodded.

"That's all, I'm too lazy to think about it anymore."

Zhao Chun waved his hand and then ordered: "Zeng Zhan, in order to prevent that traitor from taking advantage of this moment to cause trouble, you will ask Han Diao Si to keep an eye on him secretly later."

The old eunuch responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

When Zhao Chun and the others were going to the Jinluan Palace, the ministers in the court were also rushing to the palace.

In addition, the [-] imperial guardsmen who were originally guarding the palace had quickly left the palace under the leadership of Cao Yu, the commander-in-chief of the imperial guardsmen, and joined the [-] city guard troops.

Cao Yu took the emperor's military talisman and directly mobilized [-] city guards to defend Tai'an City.
