Just as he was thinking, a horse had already walked out of the queue and slowly walked down the city tower. When he saw that it was Chabixing.
He bowed to the city tower and said, "Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, walk in front of the emperor, and pay homage to General Cao."
I couldn't help but pursed my lips.
After all, there is another one here who is considered an official and can barely talk to the people in the court.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the other guardians standing on the city tower immediately picked up the bows and arrows in their hands and pointed the bright arrows at him. Chabixing was shocked and immediately said, "General Cao, what do you mean?"
Cao Ji looked at him coldly and said, "You said you are the Minister of Revenue and walk in front of the emperor, but why don't you listen to the emperor, but instead follow Liu Qinghan to act together. Are you going to commit rebellion?"
Chabixing laughed twice and said, "General Cao, you are serious. Although my senior brother is no longer an official of the court, he is loyal to his duties during his tenure. Even if he is not an official in the court, he has never slacked off and has done his best to share the worries of the emperor. This time, the whole world knows that he is relieved of the danger in Linfen. Why did you become a crime and cause trouble in your mouth?"
After hearing his words, Cao Ji frowned immediately. Just as he was about to say something, Zhabixi rushed to say again: "If a person rescues Linfen's crisis and shares his worries for the emperor, is there anyone in this world who will not commit the rebellion?"
“…”
"Then General Cao, you defend Tongguan. You have not sent out a single army or a soldier in Linfen, nor have you been worried about the emperor at all. Isn't this a traitor?"
Cao Ji is a martial artist. Of course, his kung fu is not as good as a student from Xishan Academy. After a few words, he said the face turned red and he said angrily: "You, you--"
Chabixing is still laughing.
At this time, Qinghan rode his horse slowly and walked forward and said to him: "Chabixing, we are here to pass the test, not to have a quarrel with General Cao."
Chabixing immediately lowered his head and said, "Oh."
Qinghan then raised his head and said to the person on the city tower: "General Cao, you are polite."
Cao Ji glanced at him, his eyes were filled with cold light and he didn't say anything.
I took advantage of the skylight to see clearly the general of Tongguan. He was about fifty or sixty years old and was not too tall. However, because of his armor and a curly beard, he looked down at us from a high place, and he looked very heroic. He was like his son, with the breath of a warrior, which made people unable to look at him.
Cao Ji probably realized from Chabixing's words just now that he could not talk to these civil servants, so he waved his hand and said frankly: "Liu Qinghan, you don't have to please me in front of me. The emperor has an order that you can't let you pass the test, so you can stay here."
I immediately frowned.
Qinghan also frowned and said, "General Cao is really unwilling to be at all?"
Cao Ji sneered: "Liu Qinghan, let's talk about what you want to do after passing the test, and then let's talk about whether this general should be compatible!"
Qinghan looked at him seriously and said, "If I say that I am leading my troops through the prefecture is to protect the king, will General Cao believe it?"
As soon as Cao Ji finished speaking, he immediately sneered.
Even the soldiers guarding the city holding bows and arrows on both sides couldn't help but sneer with contempt. Perhaps everyone felt that his joke was too insincere.
After sneering, Cao Ji said, "Liu Qinghan, you don't have to say anything anymore. In Shaanxi, it's not your turn to serve the king and protect the emperor. When the emperor arrives at Xi'an Prefecture, there will naturally be Gao Da Ren to serve the king and protect the emperor."
Qinghan frowned: "Master Gao? I'm afraid that Master Gao will be unable to protect himself now."
"What did you say?"
"I said, Lord Gao may not be able to protect himself now. His Majesty the Emperor thought he would be safe when he arrived at Xi'an Prefecture, but in fact, Xi'an Prefecture is the most unsafe place. If the emperor really went, he was afraid-"
"Liu Qinghan!"
Cao Ji was furious and pointed at him and said, "No matter how dangerous you dare to exaggerate, even if the emperor told me not to hurt your lives, I would rather resist the order and commit suicide than kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the archers all pointed the arrows that were shining with cold light at Qinghan, and even the other defenders around drew their swords. Suddenly, the atmosphere in Tongguan became tense.
Qinghan's eyebrows were twisted into a lump.
At this moment, he felt a sank on his cuff, lowered his head, and faced my eyes, and I whispered: "Let me say a few words."
He thought about it and nodded gently.
So he helped me get off the horse and slowly walked forward a few steps. When he saw me walking over, Cao Ji immediately waved his hand to the people around him, and the people immediately put away the arrows on the bowstrings.
I said to him, "General Cao, you are polite."
Cao Ji looked at me with a complicated expression, but still bowed to me: "Miss Yan."
I smiled and said, "I didn't expect that General Cao knew me."
Cao Ji said, "Zun Jia is Princess Miaoyan's mother. This is well known. Besides——" He thought about it and said, "If Miss Yan had not pleaded for the general in front of Lord Gao, it would have been difficult to overcome the difficulties of Tongguan."
What he said was that when he was guarding Tongguan, he was easily captured by Shanxi people because of his carelessness. When Gao Tianzhang learned the news, he angrily called him "misleading the country and the people", and immediately reported to the court to kill him. It happened that I was in Xi'an Prefecture, so I asked him for a few words of affection, allowing him to take back Tongguan first and then convict him. Obviously, he should have lost his merits and still guarded Tongguan later. My words were indeed a life-saving grace to him.
I smiled and said, "It's hard for General Cao to remember."
He said, "I have always been clear about grudges."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I smiled and said, "It is clearly a good thing to distinguish between grudges, but I hope General Cao can also be aware of some major events, so that he will not cause harm to the world and the people."
When he heard this, his face immediately became darker: "What does Miss Yan mean?"
I said clearly, "I mean, Your Majesty the Emperor is in trouble now. If General Cao doesn't let us pass, then His Majesty the Emperor's safety will be in danger, and General Cao - you will be the sinner who will ruin the world."
“…”
Maybe my words were a bit too serious, Cao Ji frowned. After a while, he said, "Miss Yan, don't exaggerate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qinghan immediately stepped forward and said, "General Cao, she is not at all."
Cao Ji's expression was obviously a little confused at this time. After all, it was related to the emperor's safety and he could not completely ignore it, so he said, "What do you mean by saying that the emperor was in trouble?"
Qinghan said, "What I mean is that the whereabouts of His Majesty the Emperor are completely within the control of people."
When Cao Ji heard him say this, he immediately said, "Liu Qinghan, you are afraid that you are calling for robbers to catch them?"
Qinghan's eyes narrowed slightly, and Cao Ji had already sneered and said, "The facts are already very clear. The emperor has also told me that you have always been dispatching your own troops. If you want to control the emperor, you have even had evidence. The letters you wrote to you clearly. Why, now that the emperor is not under your control, you are going to bite you?"
The cold breath was a little deeper, but he said patiently: "General Cao, I admit that I wrote the letter, but the purpose of my doing that is to prevent the emperor from being controlled by others."
"Is it better to not let the emperor be controlled by others?"
Seeing that Cao Ji had already led this matter into a dead end, I pulled Qinghan's sleeve and signaled him not to speak. Then I stepped forward and said, "General Cao, let go of this question and let go. I will only ask you, if Qinghan really wants to harm the emperor, why should we lead our troops to Linfen to rescue the emperor from afar?"
Cao Ji was stunned by my question.
I said, "As long as he sits in the mountains and watches the tiger fight, he will naturally gain the benefits of a fisherman. But now, his men and horses fought a war with Lin Sheng's rebels in Shanxi, which has been seriously damaged. When he left Linfen and rushed here, he encountered the cavalry of Shengjing. It was his men who attacked so that His Majesty could safely cross the Yellow River. Have you ever seen such a rebel who was dedicated to his heart and strength?"
Chabixing also said, "General Cao, the situation is urgent now. If you really insist on your own, then the emperor's safety will be really hard to protect!"
Cao Ji was obviously a little shaken.
The facts are right in front of you. Sometimes, no matter how much you say, it is better to prove right or wrong than a person doing something.
He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Then you just said that Gao Daren is unable to protect himself, what does it mean?"
Qinghan immediately said: "In order to understand the danger of Linfen, His Majesty the Emperor once sent someone to take his hand to pass Tongguan and dispatch troops to Xi'an Prefecture. Do you remember?"
Cao Ji immediately said, "Of course."
Xiao Yusheng slowly stepped forward, and he immediately recognized it and pointed at him and said, "It's his troops!"
Qinghan said: "That's right, but in fact, this time he was hit by someone's plan."
Xiao Yusheng was also stunned for a moment, turned to look at him, Cao Ji frowned even more, and said Qinghan: "The danger of Linfen was originally the capital... and Xuchang. The rebels in Shanxi designed to capture the emperor, but some people took advantage of this battle of Linfen. They knew that the Linfen defenders were insufficient and they would definitely go to Shaanxi to transfer troops. After this team of troops was transferred, Xi'an Prefecture was empty."
Cao Ji didn't say anything, but the expression on his face immediately became solemn.
For a general who has been fighting for many years and guarding the pass, he is of course very familiar with this kind of thing.
He said: "You mean-"
Qinghan said: "As soon as these reinforcements left, Xi'an Prefecture had actually fallen into the control of others."
Cao Ji's face changed again and again, and he was obviously a little panicked, but he still tried to calm himself down and said, "What evidence do you have? This general is in Tongguan and has no news at all. Why do you say that?!"
Qinghan said calmly: "I only ask you, when did the troops sent by Gao Da to welcome the emperor pass by Tongguan?"
When Cao Ji heard him say this, a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.
And when I thought about it calmly, I immediately understood.
Xiao Yusheng and his men had only passed Tongguan for only one day, and they were going to Linfen to rescue the car. However, because the danger in Linfen had been rescued by Qinghan, they met the Shengjia halfway and then turned around and walked back.
However, after only one day of walking, I met someone sent by Gao Tianzhang to welcome the saint.
In other words, these two teams are simply one in front and one behind.
If you really want to welcome the Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Divine Div
Not only was Cao Ji stunned, but the deputy generals behind him were also stunned. A man who looked like a military advisor immediately stepped forward and attached himself to his ear and said a few words. After Cao Ji stopped, his brows frowned and turned to look at him, lowered his voice and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
The military advisor said a few words with a bitter face, which was a general meaning, which was that he could not help but was obviously firing a firearm.
At this moment, Cao Ji was really anxious.
Although this person seems a bit stubborn and may not be very smart in his actions, it is true that he is devoted to the country. If it were not the case, when Tongguan was broken, ordinary generals either died of anger or immediately evaded responsibility. However, he could deal with it again and recover Tongguan. It is really rare for such a person to be able to do something.
He hesitated for a while, looked down at us again: "Is what you said true?"
I took the lead and said, "General Cao, you can't believe other people. Do you also believe me? My daughter, Princess Miaoyan, is following the emperor. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have come here to beg you in such a shameful way."
“…”
"Now the emperor's itinerary is under control. If you don't enter Xi'an Prefecture, you can still have room for recovery; if you delay, things will be irreversible!"
“…”
"General Cao, think about it. Even if we are telling lies, if you let us pass the imperial examination, the emperor will at least have tall people and soldiers led by the son to protect him. Even if we chase after them and fight with those people, we may not be able to win. You can still send someone to follow us. If we have a little bit of a rebellion, you should take action immediately; but if what we say is true and you don't let us pass the imperial examination, the emperor will be led to Xi'an Prefecture by someone. At that time, it will be useless if you send someone over there!"
I put the pros and cons of the matter and the results of the two choices in front of him. At this time, I was sweating coldly.
If he doesn't agree, then this time, Pei Yuanhao is afraid that something big will really happen!
