Chapter 459
"who?
Zhang Changzong was sleeping in the study himself, awakened by the sound of rapid footsteps, turned over and sat up to touch the clothes on the edge of the couch. When he heard the knock on the door, the person was already roughly dressed.
Since returning to Chang'an, the couple slept in separate rooms. Although Master Wan'er pretended to die, he had to do enough things to avoid revealing his appearance and causing suspicion and causing unnecessary trouble. Zhang Changzong just said that he was pitiful to his wife, but in fact he was very kind.
The hammer reported outside: "Report to the princess of Zhenguo, someone came to ask for a meeting."
"I know, I'll come now."
"Here."
After a while, Zhang Changzong went out and saw Aguo waiting in black. When he saw him coming out, he immediately saluted: "I have met Mr. Lang."
Zhang Changzong waved his hand: "No need to be polite, what's the matter? Tell me directly."
Aguo immediately took out a letter from his arms. Zhang Changzong didn't ask much, and immediately tore off the hot paint and looked at it-
Li Xian was seriously ill, and Princess Taiping recommended him to serve as the General of Jinwu Guard. Li Xianen was allowed to take the lead and regained his love and ordered him to go to Beijing immediately to defend the imperial city.
Li Xian is sick?!
Zhang Changzong's expression became solemn. Since last year, the five kings have deposed and exiled, and the exiled have withdrawn from the court and the country; in the palace, the former crown prince Li Chongjun was rebelled and deposed, and Anle's intention to be the prince's daughter was not achieved, so Li Xian changed King Wen Li Chongmao to the crown prince. King Wen was young and was controlled by Empress Wei and his daughter. Li Xian lived a comfortable life for a year.
According to the etiquette system, Zhang Changzong had been filial to 27 months, but he had no intention of serving in Li Xian's court, so he simply followed the ancient etiquette and planned to stay for three years. Anyway, he would just study behind closed doors, and at most he would reply to people.
After reading his thirteen essays, the well-educated people in the world, whether they agree or object, they often send letters to him to discuss with him. With the intention of communication, Zhang Changzong also thought about replying to others. His life of filial piety seemed deserted, but in fact it was very lively.
Zhang Changzong had no intention of entering the court, but now it seems that the changes in the world are right in front of him, so he couldn't help but not go. He was really worried about Princess Taiping.
Zhang Changzong immediately made a decision: "Hammer, take me, come and send me a command to gather the guards in the mansion, and then order someone to go to his wife's place to get my armor."
"Here."
Hammer took the order and left. Zhang Changzong reorganized his clothes, took off his round neck robe, and replaced it with a short brown, knife, bow, gun and horse that was convenient for armor and helmet.
After a while, not only did the armor and even Xue Chongxiu come, but it seems that he is in a hurry, with long hair tied casually. Although his clothes are neat, there is no ornament on his head and body: "Liu Lang, what's wrong with the armor and armor being sent in the middle of the night?"
"Nothing big, don't worry."
He comforted her first, and then handed her the letter to her. After reading it at a glance, Xue Chongxiu didn't say much nonsense, just said: "Don't worry at home."
That's it!
Zhang Changzong smiled loudly. It would be good if he had a wife who could take care of her at home. No matter what the situation was, he could give her peace of mind. If there was a monster at home, he would not be able to protect her except for her. Not only could he not protect her home, but he could not even protect herself. Then there was no need to say that he could be so angry that he could die again after death.
"Xiu'er, I'll go to Beijing first. You bring people and come here tomorrow."
"I know, don't worry."
Zhang Changzong nodded and ordered in a deep voice: "Asong!"
"arrive!"
"I will take away the troops, and you will be in charge of the guards at home. I will follow the orders of my wife."
"Here."
...
Zhang Changzong gave all the matters and summoned his troops with whistleblower.
The team of one thousand people was assembled in just half a moment, wearing armor and swords, and all the bows and horses. Zhang Changzong nodded with satisfaction and compared a gesture. One thousand people were like one. Apart from the sound of horse hooves, not to mention the sound of human voices, there was not even a trace of horse neighing.
Such a team ran on horseback and rushed to the city gate, scaring the general who was guarding the city to run away with his helmet: "Who is here?"
Zhang Changzong went out to the crowd: "I am Zhang Changzong, the Marquis of Anding, and went to the capital under the order of Your Majesty, and asked the general to verify the order."
The general did not come down and stood on the top of the city: "It will not be too late to let your subordinates retreat and then test."
Zhang Changzong smiled and said nothing, just comparing hands. The team of thousands of people dismounted, and then each led the horses and quietly retreated and took a break.
The general guarding the city was beating his heart. He had heard of the reputation of Zhang Changzong, the Marquis of Anding, and knew that he was a general who had put down the border troubles. He calmed down and got off the city head. He did not open the city gate, but just opened the small gate to verify the order. Seeing that the order was true, he opened the city gate and let him enter the city.
It was not until the general guarding the city dared to let out a breath of vigor when he saw the silent team walking away while he was walking away. As a result, he found that the pawns around him were all so virtuous, and he couldn't help but feel angry: "Look at your unreliable appearance!"
The soldiers were scolded and did not dare to speak back, but muttered in a low voice: "General, he is not a humble and coward, but his troops of Anding Hou are really intimidating. Somehow he was cowardly."
When the general guarding the city heard this, he couldn't help feeling sympathy and said, "I don't blame you, even this general is afraid. The so-called "no vain soldiers" under the reputation. I have only heard of the Marquis Anding made great contributions to pacifying the northern border and being named Marquis for his military merits. I only heard of his name but did not know the person. Now that I have seen the soldiers under his command, I know where his reputation comes from. I really don't deceive me."
Zhang Changzong didn't know the sigh of the general who defended the city. He just took his men and horses directly to Xuanwu Gate with his face. Princess Taiping was waiting for him. He heard the news and sat on the horse's back and looked at the soldiers behind Zhang Changzong, and his mind was in agitation.
"My mother-in-law."
Seeing Zhang Changzong riding a horse in armor, Princess Taiping finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the silent knights behind him with a burning look. Even now as cunning as hers, she couldn't help but take a breath and was shocked. Sure enough, Liulang was just a general.
He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for the hard work of letting you fly like this in the big night."
Zhang Changzong said: "It's not hard, it's just a little road. When the son-in-law led his troops to the capital, he was blocked by the general who was guarding the city. He held the chariot on the horse's hooves on the side, and probably did not alarm the people in the city."
Although Princess Taiping was frightened, she nodded and said, "It's okay, your troops will be stationed at Xuanwu Gate first, and you can follow me into the palace."
"Here."
Zhang Changzong responded and turned around and explained: "Acao, reorganize the army and prepare to set up a camp."
"Here."
After the military order was passed down, the team immediately arranged in an orderly manner. As Xuanwu Gate opened, they entered the imperial city together. Then they chose a place to station. During the operation, the military discipline was strict and silent.
Princess Taiping couldn't help but take a look. If it weren't for the fact that things were in front of her, she would have to take a closer look. The troops of his son-in-law should be among the elite soldiers. The soldiers in the city could see the best and the worst.
