The dark tide stopped in the wilderness in the distance. Even the Qianli Mile Mile Mile mirror specially made by the Tang family, it was difficult to see clearly what these cavalry originated.

Not long after, more than a hundred cavalry left the team and rushed towards Wenshui City, completely ignoring the divine crossbows on the city. Looking at this scene, even though they had practiced countless times in daily life, the soldiers guarding the city and the Tang guards were still nervous. After all, they had never had real experience.

The city lord hurried to the city head with his subordinates, and his clothes were not neatly worn, let alone wearing armor.

Looking at the tide of cavalry in the distance and more than a hundred cavalry getting closer and closer, the city lord's face became paler.

Seeing that more than a hundred cavalry had entered the attack range of the divine crossbow, he did not dare to order an attack, and sweat poured out like slurry. He looked at the Tang guards and shouted in panic: "Where is the master's family? Why didn't there anyone come from the master's family?"

The lord of Wenshui City was appointed by the court himself, but he knew very well that he could never be the master of this city.

The owner of this city has only one surname since countless years ago, that is, the Tang family.

It has been a while since the alarm sounded and now. Even if the reaction is slow, the people from the Tang family should have arrived.

Why until now, there are only those guards on the city wall, but there is no big figure of the Tang family?

An aide stared at the more than a hundred cavalry that were getting closer and closer, thought of a possibility, and whispered: "There is no movement from the master's house, which means there must be nothing wrong."

The city lord heard this and felt it made sense. He wiped off the cold sweat from his face and asked in a trembling voice: "Who... is the person who came?"

...

...

Time flies, and more than a hundred cavalrymen arrive in front of Wenshui City.

No battle happened because the people on the city wall soon knew the other party's identity.

The one who came to Wenshui City was not the demon expeditionary army, but the two thousand escort cavalrymen.

Their mission is to escort the three archbishops of the Holy Church into Wenshui City.

The reason why the three Archbishops of the Holy Church came to Wenshui City was even simpler - to follow the Pope.

No matter how unhappy the military and civilians in Wenshui City were about the sudden movement this morning, they had no reason to stop the other party outside the city.

——The vast majority of the two thousand apologists remained in the wilderness without any hostility.

The heavy city gate, which had just been closed for not long, slowly opened.

Two large chariots, escorted by hundreds of cavalrymen, walked into Wenshui City under the gaze of countless pairs of emotionally complicated eyes.

Archbishop Anlin and the city lord said a few words across the curtain, but there was no intention of leaving the chariot.

Some of the people on the street looked at the figure in the chariot curiously, while others knelt down and kept praying, very pious.

The King of Linghai and Taoist Baishi were still sitting in the same chariot.

"The Tang family's reaction is very fast, it's not easy to attack."

The King of Linghai's eyes passed through the curtain and fell on the Tang guards who were obviously not the imperial army on the city wall a little further away, and said expressionlessly.

There are many deep meanings hidden in this sentence. Taoist Baishi smiled slightly and said nothing.

The King of Linghai glanced at him and said, "Wenshui City has never encountered war. Why is the Tang family so vigilant and careful, even seriously exceeding the rules to set up divine crossbow formations, and has raised so many private soldiers? Could it be that... they want to rebel?"

The meaning of this sentence is even clearer. Taoist Shiraishi smiled and said nothing, because he didn't know how to answer the conversation.

...

...

Two thousand escort cavalry escorted three national genocide giants to Wenshui City.

Their reasons are very good, because they must ensure the safety of His Majesty the Pope.

No one can say anything.

But no one will forget the key point in this matter, that is, Li Gong did not notify Wenshui City in advance.

Taking without asking is to steal, and coming without asking is to attack.

Two thousand escort cavalry suddenly appeared outside Wenshui City, and the sound of thunderous hooves tore through the morning light.

Although nothing happened, the entire Wenshui City felt nervous and uneasy that morning.

Thousands of years ago, the demon army invaded the south and surrounded Luoyang City for a long time. The vanguard was only more than 300 miles away from Kyoto, but he had never reached Wenshui City.

Looking further into the history, in the chaotic era of heroes competing for hegemony, the mainland was full of war, people were displaced, and thousands of miles of scorched earth, but Wenshui City had not been attacked at all, and just stared at the turmoil in the world quietly.

This is the first time in Wenshui City has seen the army with its own eyes.

What does the State Church mean to do this? Demonstrate to the Tang family and the court? Worry about the safety of the pope? Or do you want to intimidate some people in Wenshui City?

As an imperial envoy, the King of Zhongshan did not return to the capital immediately after leaving Songshan Military Mansion. Instead, he toured the Northern Military Mansions on behalf of His Majesty. When he received this news, he was holding Lan Pass. The first question he thought of was not these, but the fact that the people in the state religion did not go to Congzhou?

That day, the three state genocide giants, including the King of Linghai, led two thousand escort cavalry to the Songshan Military Mansion with thunder. With the assassination of the Pope, they took away the position of the generals of the Songshan Military Mansion with extreme toughness, largely because they came too suddenly.

The more than 2,000 cavalry and national cavalry were stationed around Xunyang City. Most of the road to Songshan Military Mansion was wasteland. It is understandable that it could be concealed from the court's sight. The question is that when the three national cavalry giants left the palace, no one in Kyoto knew about it.

Naturally, the court would not allow such a thing to happen again. After the three state religion giants left Songshan Military Mansion with two thousand state religion cavalry, their whereabouts were under the control of the Great Zhou army. Everyone knew that they were advancing towards the Congzhou Military Mansion.

This is something many people in the court have expected.

The state religion has set up such a large formation, so it is naturally impossible for the position of Songshan Military Mansion.

The Congzhou Military Prefecture is westward, with harsh conditions and extremely important. The most important thing is that this is where Xue Xingchuan rose back then. Even though he had been dead for three years and the court carried out many purges, it was still impossible to completely eliminate his influence.

No matter from any perspective, the Congzhou Military Prefecture should be the next target of the National Education.

Who would have thought that three national genocide giants and two thousand guild cavalrymen would cross the lifeless stone mountain Gobi overnight and suddenly appear outside Wenshui City!

What exactly does the state religion want to do? Could it be that the young pope is really crazy and ready to slaughter Wenshui?

The King of Zhongshan finally began to think about these things, his expression getting colder and colder.

He would not believe such absurd inference at all, because he was very convinced that the young Pope could not do such a thing.

And two thousand cavalrymen want to slaughter Wenshui? This is too underestimating the IQ of His Majesty the Pope and the unfathomable strength of the Tang family.

At this moment, a burst of cheers suddenly sounded on the streets outside the military mansion.

The King of Zhongshan frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

After a while, the voice outside the mansion did not stop, but became louder and louder, as if the whole Yonglan Pass was celebrating something.

The general Jianxi walked into the military hall and said in a slight voice: "I just received the news that a new batch of cinnabar pills will start to be distributed tomorrow."

The eyes of the King of Zhongshan were getting deeper and deeper, thinking that His Majesty the Pope did not know his IQ, but his demeanor was indeed extraordinary.

...

...

Wenshui is an ancient city in the world. It is the deep winter season, with the remaining snow and yellow leaves colliding, making the scenery even more profound.

Looking at the mottled and ancient city walls and the unchanging challenges that have gone through hundreds of years of storms, anyone can feel the heavy history in it.

Thinking of the aristocratic family in the city, this profound historical meaning will add a few vicissitudes and power.

Even the King of Linghai was not as irritable as usual after entering the city, and became a little taciturn.

He lifted up the curtains and first saw the people standing or kneeling by the street, and then saw a light of water.

Wenshui City is northerly than Kyoto. The famous river that passes through the city still does not freeze in the cold winter, and it has an endless stream of meaning.

Only the frosted grasses on the riverside, and two or three small yellow flowers that have obviously frozen to death, prove that the weather is difficult to reverse.

When they arrived outside the Taoist hall, the carriage stopped. The King of Linghai walked in along the stone steps in the forest. Taoist Baishi and Archbishop Yan Lin followed him.

At the end of the quiet stone steps is the divine gate of the back hall.

There was a pear tree planted in the door, and a young man stood under the tree.

The King of Linghai doesn't like this young man.

Never liked it.

Even though he later learned about the identity of the other party's orthodox descendant of the National Church, he still could not understand why the Pope, whom he respected extremely, appointed this person as his heir.

In his opinion, although this young man is not cowardly, he still lacks sharpness, is lifeless and boring.

Without fun, it means no love or hate. Without strong love or hate, it means no responsibility.

It was not until this moment that he saw the figure under the pear tree that he vaguely understood something.

It turns out that it's not lifeless.

It's calm and unpredictable.

This young man is like a stream.

The stream may be a little shallow, but it is very clear, and you can see the swimming fish at the bottom of the water and everyone themselves.

The stream looks very weak, but it is the toughest, and even the sharpest sword cannot be cut off.

The stream looks very calm, but in fact it contains unimaginable surging power, which can open mountains and open up land and flow west to the sea.

Just like Wenshui City, everyone knows that he shouldn't come, or it's inconvenient to come, but he still comes.

The King of Linghai finally understood the choice of His Majesty the Pope.

He calmly bowed down.
