Chapter 960 Please Make Way, Thank You!

Looking at Yun Ye's anxious departure, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but smile lightly.

Indeed, in this era, it was a beheading matter to obtain the imperial seal before the current emperor.

Unless the person who gets the imperial seal is a domestic slave like Hong Cheng who is deeply trusted by the emperor, or someone like Yun Ye who has no possibility of rebellion.

However, Lin Zhongtian is not a mortal after all. He is the Lord of the Void Gap and the Great Emperor Zhongtian Ziwei.

His high status is beyond imagination.

Only when the jade seal of the state passes through his hands can it truly be said to have been ordered by heaven and live a long and prosperous life.

Lin Zhongtian's acquisition of the Imperial Seal was not only a whim, but also a test for Li Er.

If Li Er can survive, then everything is easy to say. At least during his tenure, the fortune of the Tang Dynasty will only flourish.

But if Li Er is holding a grudge and wants to get rid of him quickly, it means that he is not worthy of taking over the imperial seal from Lin Zhongtian, and the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty will decline as a result.

At that time, Lin Zhongtian will add fuel to the fire and let the Yun family take over, or simply light a spark and raise the red flag.

Anyway, the Alliance has done things like this countless times in all the worlds, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are familiar with it.

Not long after, Hong Cheng rushed over with hundreds of soldiers with murderous intent.

He ordered many soldiers armed to the teeth to surround the tent, and then he and Yun Ye entered the tent together.

As soon as he walked into the tent, Hong Cheng's eyes were completely attracted by the open wooden box on the table.

He swallowed, stretched his right hand tremblingly into his arms, and took out an old piece of paper.

Lin Zhongtian glanced at it and found that there was a mark on the paper, which should be the pattern of the imperial seal preserved in the palace.

Hong Cheng stepped forward, spread the paper on the table, respectfully held up the jade seal with both hands, pointed it at the mark, and pressed it slowly.

Perfect fit!

Only then did Hong Cheng finally breathe a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off his forehead, put the jade seal back into the wooden box, turned around, looked at Yun Ye and Lin Zhongtian in the tent, and said in a solemn tone: "Forget it ”

Yun Ye smiled and said: "Old Hong, why can't I understand what you are saying?"

A smile appeared on Hong Cheng's face, then he took out a piece of silk, wrapped the wooden box in layers, and tied it to his body. It seemed that he did not intend to let the Jade Seal of the Kingdom leave him for a moment.

After doing this, Hong Cheng turned around without hesitation and walked out of the tent.

Yun Ye looked at his back and said quickly: "My senior brother's matter..."

Hong Cheng said without looking back: "Even if Marquis Yun doesn't say anything, Brother Lin will follow me back to Chang'an."

"For the sake of the meritorious service of the two positions in Baiqisi, I can say a few good words for Brother Lin in front of His Majesty, but I will never hide the truth in front of His Majesty. I hope Marquis Yun will forgive me."

Before Yun Ye could speak, Lin Zhongtian nodded and said with a smile: "That's enough."

When Hong Cheng led hundreds of soldiers to leave in a hurry, Yun Ye patted his head and said angrily: "It's so sloppy. It's all my fault. If I had known better, I would have put the Imperial Seal back first and let Hong Cheng get away from Kang Sumi." Get it.”

"This way, we brothers won't have to suffer from the bad luck of this jade seal..."

Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier if you had such an idea?"

Yun Ye said angrily: "It's not you. You suddenly took out such a thing. It scared me so much that I panicked. How could I remember to think about it in the long term?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just that he was remembered by Li Er. With his magnanimity, he won't care about anything. If he really cares about it, the worst I can do is go into the palace at night and talk to him!"

Yun Ye was shocked and said quickly: "No, please don't!"

Lin Zhongtian laughed loudly: "It's just a joke, don't be nervous."

As he said that, he turned to look outside the tent, thinking that Li Er had passed this test, and the remaining tests depended on Li Er's own good fortune.

…

…

Another day, snow fell in the middle of the night, and the auxiliary soldiers in the camp were clearing away the snow everywhere.

Suddenly, at the end of the snow outside the camp, red feathers appeared in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, a Hong Ling messenger in full armor stumbled back on horseback.

Before he reached the gate of the camp, he opened his hoarse throat and shouted excitedly: "Great victory, great victory!"

"Our army beheaded 30,000 people and captured 100,000 people. Jieli is on the run!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire military camp exploded like an ant nest poured with boiling water.

The camp officials quickly welcomed the courier in, took off the cowhide mailbox from the exhausted soldier, and after checking that the lacquer seal was intact, handed the cowhide mailbox to the courier who had been ready to go.

Six messengers and twelve horses rushed non-stop towards Chang'an in a cloud of dust.

At the same time, Hongcheng and Baiqisi's thousand elite cavalry were already ready and ready to go.

Lin Zhongtian took the family letter and the jade pendant for identity verification from Yun Ye, gave Yun Ye a reassuring look, and then rushed towards Chang'an with a thousand fine cavalry led by Hong Cheng.

Before leaving, Lin Zhongtian gave Yun Ye two more boxes of bullets for self-protection.

On the way home, Lin Zhongtian wandered away from Baiqisi. Although the war horse under his crotch belonged to Baiqisi, but by his side, it was as if he had taken some Shiquan Dabu pill. Both his leg strength and physical strength had greatly increased. .

If the style of painting on the side of the messenger and Baiqisi is to rush and whip, it is extremely urgent.

So on Lin Zhongtian's side, there is a highlight for sightseeing and leisurely strolling.

Regarding this situation, Hong Cheng and the cavalry of Baiqisi saw it in their eyes, but no one dared to say no.

All of them were soldiers on horseback, and they were impressed by Lin Zhongtian's horsemanship skills.

If the situation was not urgent, even Hong Cheng would have wanted to ask Lin Zhongtian for advice on horsemanship.

In this way, the group galloped to Chang'an at the fastest speed of this era, almost without touching the ground.

…

The noise caused by a thousand cavalrymen galloping on horses was naturally extremely shocking.

Therefore, before the cavalrymen approached Chang'an, the city was already alarmed.

The guard level in the palace was immediately raised by two levels, and the guards of Chang'an City also received a warning, and the number of soldiers on the city wall doubled.

However, even though the city wall was full of densely packed soldiers, the former cavalry still did not slow down, and the dust raised on the horizon could already be clearly seen on the top of Chang'an City.

This was unbearable for Chang'an City.

So, a horn sounded over Chang'an, and the soldiers in the camp poured out in an orderly manner like ants leaving their nests.

Yuchi Gong came to the top of the city with a full armor and a lance in hand, looking forward with murderous intent, wondering who was so bold as to gallop outside the city of Chang'an.

At this moment, he saw the bright red helmet feathers in front of the cavalry, which was the leading Hongling envoy.

Yuchi Gong was slightly startled, and immediately reacted, ordered the city gate to be opened, and stood in front of the city gate with thousands of cavalrymen who rushed to wait for the arrival of Hongling envoy.

It was just a thousand cavalrymen, even if there was a trick, he was confident that he could strangle them all with the city gate wide open.

Fortunately, the worst situation did not happen. Before the Hongling envoy approached, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Great victory, great victory, great victory in Yinshan, our army won a great victory, killed 20,000 Turks in battle, and captured countless people!"

After that, the Hongling envoy ignored Yuchi Gong and rode past him.

Hearing the news of the great victory in Yinshan, Yuchi Gong smiled, not caring about the rudeness of the Hongling envoy at all.

However, the more than a thousand cavalrymen who followed him made him a little unhappy.

It was okay for Hongling to be the urgent envoy. These guys didn't need to give face to anyone unless the emperor came in person.

But the cavalrymen behind were obviously the people of the Hundred Cavalry Division. When the Hongling urgent envoy had already arrived in Chang'an City, they dared to ride their horses straight to the city gate, which made Yuchi Gong very unhappy.

Just when Yuchi Gong was thinking about whether to stop the more than a thousand cavalrymen, he suddenly saw Hongcheng in the front.

As Li Er's horse boy, Hongcheng could be regarded as the emperor's own slave, and his loyalty to the emperor was naturally beyond doubt.

Even he did not stop the pace of attacking the city gate, which meant that this team of the Hundred Cavalry Division had other urgent matters besides the news of the victory in Yinshan.

Thinking of this, Yuchi Gong waved his hand, and the cavalrymen behind him immediately retreated along the city wall like a tide, making way.

However, Yuchi Gong himself stayed at the door, standing proudly on the horse, without taking a step back.

Countless cavalrymen ran past him, but Yuchi Gong remained calm. This was his duty as the gatekeeper. No matter what the situation was, he had to live and die with the gate.

"Make way, thank you!"

Perhaps seeing Yuchi Gong standing in the center, someone was worried that he would be crushed into a pulp by the cavalry. A polite voice suddenly came from the side, followed by a slender and powerful arm.

Yuchi Gong was stunned for a moment, and saw that hand grabbed the saddle under his crotch and swung it lightly to the side.

"Xi Lu Lu -"

The black horse neighed in panic.

Yuchi Gong widened his eyes, and before he could react, he found with a confused face that he and his horse flew high up, jumped over the heads of many cavalrymen, and landed on the ground ten steps away.

"Tata -"

After landing, the black horse staggered a few steps and stabilized its body.

Yuchi Gong held the spear in one hand, calmed the black horse, and then widened his eyes. Amid the thunderous cheers from Chang'an City, he looked at the cavalry rushing past in front of him with doubt.

"...Who is it?!"
