Chapter 176: You, the emperor, have this day too!

The commander of the city guard army looked at the [-] Wuji cavalry arrayed under the city, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Old Cao, these [-] cavalry look more brave and powerful than the Beiliang cavalry!"

Cao Yu, who had personally witnessed the power of Beiliang's cavalry, nodded in agreement, and then said with emotion: "Damn it, such a well-equipped and powerful cavalry, no wonder they can break through Shanhaiguan!"

Yue Hua said in a deep voice: "Old Cao, if these [-] cavalry attack the city, can we defend it?"

Cao Yu pondered for a moment and then said two words: "It's difficult."

Yue Hua, who had the same idea, took a deep breath, and then said angrily: "Fortunately, these [-] cavalry did not attack the city directly. It seems that there is still room for change."

Cao Yu nodded: "Yes, fortunately these cavalry did not attack the city directly."

Yue Hua seemed to suddenly think of something and said: "I just heard these cavalry shouting in unison to welcome my king out of the city. Who is their king? Is it possible that the person who caused such a big battle is in Kyoto?"

Cao Yu said thoughtfully: "There really is a king in Kyoto now."

Yue Hua asked subconsciously: "Who?"

Cao Yu replied: "King Zhao Wuji of Qi."

The commander of the city defense army twitched his eyelids and said with some disbelief: "Did King Qi call these cavalry?"

Cao Yu frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I think it's really possible."

"You and I both know that King Qi is at odds with His Majesty because of the marriage between Princess Mingzhu and the stupid prince of Ming Dynasty."

"In order to protect Princess Mingzhu, King Qi really has the motive to do this."

Yue Hua said: "I don't think so!"

"King Qi shouldn't be so aggressive about Princess Mingzhu."

"Besides, hasn't it been said all along that King Qi doesn't have any troops? How could he suddenly produce so many powerful cavalry?"

Cao Yu said: "What you said makes sense. This matter cannot be determined now."

Yue Hua suggested: "We are too lazy to think about it. Let's report the situation here to His Majesty truthfully!"

Cao Yu nodded.

Then, the two commanders sent people to the palace to deliver the message.

now.

The Royal Palace, in the Jinluan Hall.

The emperor is sitting on the throne.

All the ministers gathered together.

Everyone looked worried and silent.

There was silence in the hall, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Suddenly, a little eunuch hurried into the hall.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from outside the palace!"

Zhao Chun, who had been waiting anxiously for the news, heard the news and immediately said: "No need to be polite, report as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the young eunuch said directly: "Your Majesty, the [-] cavalrymen who broke into the territory of Kyoto have already arrived at the city. However, they have only surrounded Tai'an City and have not shown any intention to attack the city for the time being."

Zhao Chun asked in confusion: "What do those iron cavalry mean?"

"Also, have you figured out which vassal king those cavalry belong to?"

The little eunuch shook his head and said he didn't know.

When Zhao Chun and other ministers saw this, they all frowned.

A cavalry army came to besiege the city, but I couldn't figure out what the situation was. What should I do?

Just when the emperor and all the courtiers were at a loss.

A young man dressed in white walked into the hall leisurely, and his footsteps were extremely loud in the quiet hall.

When the emperor and all the courtiers heard the news, they subconsciously turned their attention to the man in white.The young man was none other than Zhao Wuji!

When they saw that the person coming was Zhao Wuji, all the courtiers were not surprised, and their expressions did not change.

Only Zhao Chun, who was sitting high on the throne, frowned even more tightly as if he had a premonition that something bad would happen.

With everyone watching silently, Zhao Wuji walked straight to the center of the hall.

Then, he stopped and raised his head to look at Zhao Chun who was sitting on the throne.

Zhao Chun met Zhao Wuji's gaze and was the first to break the silence and said: "Zhao Wuji, what are you doing in the Jinluan Palace?"

Zao Wuji believed that the time had come for the showdown, so he no longer hid it and made it clear: "I came here to tell you something."

"The cavalrymen outside the city are here to pick me up and bring me back to Qidi. Don't be so nervous."

Zhao Wuji's tone was calm and his voice was not loud.

But as soon as he said these words, they exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.

Whether it was Emperor Zhao Chun or all the courtiers present, their eyes widened in disbelief.

There is no doubt that Zhao Wuji's words shocked everyone!

Zhao Wuji did not look at the stunned courtiers, but still looked at the emperor and continued to say calmly: "Your Majesty, I want to take my sister back to Qidi with me. You should be okay with that, right?"

Regarding the [-] cavalry who controlled Shanhaiguan and the [-] cavalry who came to Tai'an City, the emperor and the courtiers thought about various possibilities, but they never thought that those cavalry were Zhao Wuji's subordinates!
It is normal for the emperor and these courtiers to think this way.

Because the world has always had a consensus, that is, among the major vassal kings in Liyang, only the young vassal king Zhao Wuji did not have any troops under his command.

No one could have imagined that Zhao Wuji would have such a large, well-equipped, extremely brave and powerful cavalry army!

If he hadn't personally heard Zhao Wuji say that those cavalry troops were his subordinates, if he hadn't known that Zhao Wuji would not joke about this kind of thing, the emperor and all the courtiers would not have believed that the whole person who controlled Shanhaiguan and forced his way into Kyoto Fifty thousand cavalry are all from Zhao Wuji's command!

This is so shocking and unexpected!
The hearts of the emperor and all the courtiers were in turmoil, and they could not calm down for a long time.

When Zhao Wuji said no more, the entire Jinluan Palace fell into a dead silence, and the needle could drop.

After a while, the emperor and all the courtiers came to their senses.

Then, they stared at Zhao Wuji with complex eyes full of doubts and fears.

How did this young lord build those powerful cavalry without revealing any news?

And how did they mobilize [-] mighty cavalry to Kyoto without anyone noticing?

Now, what is the purpose of letting the cavalry control Shanhaiguan and besiege Tai'an City?
Are you planning to rebel, or are you trying to do something else?
There were many doubts in the hearts of the emperor and all the courtiers.

At the same time, they were a little scared and uneasy because they didn't know what Zhao Wuji's purpose was.

At this moment, facing Zhao Wuji, everyone felt a sense of awe and even fear from the inside out.

None of the courtiers dared to speak, not even to breathe loudly.

Even the emperor sitting on the dragon throne had to take deep breaths to stay calm.

After Zhao Chun stared at Zhao Wuji with flickering eyes for a long time, he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Zhao Wuji, are the [-] cavalry who control Shanhaiguan and the [-] cavalry who besieged Kyoto your subordinates? "

Zhao Wuji, who stood with his hands behind his hands, said in a nonchalant tone: "Your Majesty, you don't believe that those [-] cavalrymen are my subordinates. Then why don't I call them to your Majesty to help me prove it?"

Zhao Chun first twitched the corner of his mouth violently, then waved his hands hurriedly: "I'm just asking, you don't have to prove it to me!"

Zhao Wuji felt very happy when he saw the emperor who was so strong and domineering in front of him so cautious and fearful, and couldn't help but smile happily.

Your emperor also has today!

Seeing Zhao Wuji's proud look, Zhao Chun was very dissatisfied, but he suppressed it and did not show it.

Zhao Chun suppressed his negative emotions and asked tentatively: "Zhao Wuji, what do you want to do by mobilizing troops and mobilizing people like this?"

Although Zhao Wuji had just said that those cavalry were here to take him back to Qidi, Zhao Chun, who was suspicious by nature, did not believe it.

Zhao Chun believed that Zhao Wuji spent so much time and risked the disapproval of the world. In this situation, which was tantamount to conspiracy and rebellion, he definitely had some ulterior motive.
