Jun Huailang and Xue Yan rode their horses all the way, and rushed to Qin Jun when the sky was getting dark.
Qin County is the last state and county outside Chang'an City. After Qin County, it is Chang'an.As the last pass outside Chang'an, Qin County's defenses have always been stricter than other states and counties, and the news has always been much better.
All the way north, when they passed through other states and counties, Xue Yan's identity as King Guangling could pass through unimpeded.
But when he arrived in Qin County, Xue Yan was an imperial envoy who had been arranged by the emperor to go south. Without an edict, he naturally couldn't return to Chang'an at will. They will be sent to Chang'an as soon as possible.
If they guessed correctly, the army at Qinmen Pass must be entrenched outside Chang'an City.When the news is sent to Chang'an, they will definitely pass by them as soon as possible.At that time, they will be prepared. Whether they can attack well or not is another matter. If they rush into Chang'an at the end of the road, the consequences will be disastrous.
This is also what Jun Huailang is worried about.
The closer he was to Qin County, the more worried he became.However, Chang'an had to go back, and Qin County was a must.
Jun Huailang didn't mention it to Xue Yan, but secretly thought of a countermeasure.
After arriving in Qin County, first deal with the county officials to see what kind of person the local official is and what his attitude is towards the sudden change in Beijing.
It would be best if a consensus could be reached and let them go.If not, you can also take the opportunity to see if you can lobby or induce.If the other party is an official of the Xu family lineage, then he can only take the opportunity to kill him. I think Jin Yiwei has such abilities...
Thinking all the way like this, they arrived outside Qin County.
At this time, it was just dawn, and the city gate of Qin County had already opened.Outside the city gate, people and businessmen come and go, and the front of the city gate is heavily guarded by a brigade of officers and soldiers.
A group of people stopped a few feet outside the city gate.
"Seeing that you haven't spoken all the way today, what's the matter, what's on your mind?" Xue Yan reined in his horse and turned to ask him.
Jun Huailang shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm just thinking about how to get through Qin County."
Along the way, he has already thought of various possibilities and coping methods in his mind, and now he is confident enough to deal with it.
But Xue Yan raised his eyebrows suspiciously.
"What's there to think about?" he asked.
As he spoke, he casually raised his horsewhip and signaled the Jin Yiwei on the side to step forward.
Immediately, a Jin Yiwei rode his horse and trotted all the way to the city gate.
He said a few words to one of the guards, and saw the guard nodded quickly and trotted up the tower.After a while, a guard led the soldier all the way to Xue Yan's direction.
Xue Yan sat on the horse, quietly waiting for him to approach.
"My lord!" Walking in front of the horse, the guard clasped his fists at Xue Yan, performing a proper military etiquette. "I haven't seen the prince for a long time, but he is even more handsome than when he was in Yan County!"
Only then did Jun Huailang know why Xue Yan was so calm, without any worries.
This general of Qin County probably belonged to his old department in Yan County.
Xue Yan casually hummed: "I'm going back to Chang'an, you can arrange it."
Emperor Qingping just had an accident last night, and people in other prefectures and counties didn't know about it, but the upper-level officials in Qin County didn't know about it.When the guard heard this, his expression became serious, and he asked, "My lord, do you know what happened in Chang'an last night?"
Jun Huailang was startled when he heard the words, and quickly looked sideways at Xue Yan.
Xue Yan's brows slowly wrinkled.
"What happened to Chang'an?" He paused and asked.
The guard looked around, and Xue Yan approached, and said in a low voice: "The news just arrived. The emperor was poisoned, and now the poison has flared up, turning the emperor into a living dead who can only breathe... just This morning, the ministers pushed the fourth prince to the throne, and he will soon be canonized as the prince."
Speaking of this, the guard also felt a little strange.
It just happened last night, and Qin Jun just got the news.Xue Yan is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, how could he come to Chang'an City a few days earlier?
The guard looked at Xue Yan hesitantly: "Your Majesty, you are not the one who was recalled by His Majesty, are you?"
But Xue Yan didn't answer right away.
He raised his head to look at the horse, and saw Xue Yan sitting on the horse's back, holding the rein in his hand, expressionless.
All I could see was that his lips were tightly pursed, and his mandible was stretched into a sharp blade.
The guard dared not speak any more.
Jun Huailang followed beside him, also looking at Xue Yan.
He could see that Xue Yan was holding back a kind of anger and self-blame.
He and Xue Yan were on the road for the past few days, so they also had some guesses.The Xu family tried every means to get Chen Bing, the army of Qinmenguan, outside Chang'an City. The only thing they could do was force the palace with heavy troops.But it is easy for them to surround Chang'an, and if they want to rush into the imperial city, they also need to make arrangements, and it will not be that easy.
No matter how fast it is, it is impossible to complete the plan within a day or two.
Therefore, they had enough time to arrive, and they could still suppress the rebels when the Xu family made preparations and broke with Emperor Qingping to attack Chang'an on a large scale.
However, they did not expect that the Xu family would be poisoned.
There is no absolute certainty about poisoning, and no one will do it in the palace, let alone the target of poisoning is the emperor.
They didn't expect such a situation at all, and Jun Huailang also knew that Xue Yan blamed himself for this.
He carefully stretched out his hand and tugged at Xue Yan's sleeve.
Xue Yan was half a beat too late before turning around.
Jun Huailang met his eyes, blinked comfortingly, and looked at him quietly.
Xue Yan paused, then nodded slightly at him.
The guard waiting in front of the horse didn't see Jun Huailang's subtle movements, but only saw Xue Yan turn around, as if exchanging glances with the people behind him, and when he turned around again, the aura all over his body seemed to be shaking. Not quite the same.
As a rough military general, the guard naturally couldn't see any difference.However, he felt that the dangerous aura of the Guangling King, who was full of evil aura just now, dissipated a lot at once.
The sense of oppression that had made him breathless disappeared inexplicably.
The guard looked up and saw Xue Yan replying to him.
"The king knows." He said. "I came back to Beijing in anticipation and came here to deal with this matter. You just make arrangements, the king will leave immediately."
The guard immediately understood what Xue Yan was going to do.
The emperor was suddenly poisoned, and the fourth prince who hadn't even entered the court was suddenly embraced on the throne.Even if he is not in Chang'an, he has known for more than a year that besides the prince in front of him, who else is most worthy of that position?
Now, the prince rushed back to Chang'an, naturally he wanted to take back everything that belonged to him.
The guard's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Your subordinate will do it right away, and the prince will just follow you!"
-
At noon, the group of them passed through Qin County all the way and arrived outside Chang'an City.Sure enough, walking all the way from a distance, I saw a large number of troops stationed outside the gates of Chang'an.
If they were just waiting for the departure time, the troops of these armies would definitely gather in one place instead of being scattered like this.
They guard the gates of each city, mighty and mighty.Every city gate was tightly closed, and only one corner gate was opened for people to enter and exit.But everyone who enters and exits through this city gate will be strictly screened, and their clothes and luggage will also be checked back and forth several times.
Even if there is no problem at all, enough gold and silver must be managed before they will be released.
This group of garrisons seemed extremely arrogant.When they were stationed at Qinmen Pass, they were not very rich, and they didn't fight much. They lived on the little food and salary.
Now in Chang'an, their general is the son of Mr. Zuo Xiang, who is famous in Beijing. After all, the fourth prince sitting on the dragon chair is still the nephew of their general.
Now, as long as they are stationed outside the city, checking the people coming and going, keeping the whole Chang'an into an airtight iron bucket, and allowing the fourth prince to ascend to the crown prince smoothly, then they will have the merit of being a dragon.
After that, they were all beckoning to them when they were promoted to ranks and rewarded with rich salary?
It was also because of this that the several camps outside Chang'an City were filled with an atmosphere of pride and complacency.
Xue Yan and Jun Huailang rode their horses calmly, heading north from the periphery of Chang'an, and finally stopped near a hill.
Xue Yan reined in, and the speed of the group slowed down.
"Here?" Jun Huailang asked.
Xue Yan looked forward.
Among the hills in the distance, there was nothing from a distance, but he knew that the Yanyun iron cavalry left over from the battle of Yanyun three years ago was waiting there.
As long as he can remember, he grew up in the barracks of Yanyun Iron Cavalry.
Yan Yuntie rode a black armor and held a black gold banner.In the vast white snow of Yandi in winter, the black gold color of the mountains and plains is the scene engraved in Xue Yan's memory since he was a child.
He looked sideways at Jun Huailang.
He saw Jun Huailang walking beside him, looking forward, looking for the shadow of the army.
Xue Yan knew that the black and gold team that had been silent for three years was quietly dormant in that hill.
A strange throbbing spread in Xue Yan's heart.
He has lived in no fixed place since he was a child, but now, he has a feeling that he brought Jun Huailang back to his home.
This feeling made his heart beat wildly unconsciously.
"Stretch out your hand." He suddenly said to Jun Huailang.
Unknown to Jun Huailang, he went in, let go of the rein with one hand, and passed the other hand over.
Across the distance between two horses, Xue Yan grabbed his hand in his palm.
Jun Huailang was startled and tried to break free.
He struggled a few times, but he didn't break free. Instead, Xue Yan took his hand and rode alongside him for a while before letting him go with a smile.
Jun Huailang hurriedly withdrew his hand, wanting to stare at him, but met a smile on Xue Yan's face.
The ease of finding belonging is not deceiving.
Jun Huailang took back the reproach that came to his lips.
"...don't mess around next time." After a while, he whispered.
Xue Yan responded with a smile.
"I'll show you later what my Yanyun Cavalry looks like," he said.
Jun Huailang nodded in response, and then expressed the worry in his heart: "I just saw that there are only a few city gates we passed by, and there are a lot of people. Calculated, their strength should be no less than one hundred thousand."
Hearing this, Xue Yan turned his head and glanced outside Chang'an City.
From a distance, you can see the camp outside the nearest city gate.It was not yet noon, and the camp had already started cooking.
Xue Yan sneered dismissively.
Even if there are three or five times more soldiers who have been raised and disabled at Qinmenguan, what is there to be afraid of?
He turned around, leaned over on the horse and stretched out his hand, and rubbed Jun Huailang's cheek with his knuckles.
"It's nothing to be afraid of," he said.
Qin County is the last state and county outside Chang'an City. After Qin County, it is Chang'an.As the last pass outside Chang'an, Qin County's defenses have always been stricter than other states and counties, and the news has always been much better.
