Chapter 636

Outside the city, the voice was also prosperous, but it was not as solemn as that of the imperial city. It was noisy and noisy, mixed with strange calls and whistles.

Scholars and scholars have stood in front of the soldiers at the forefront.

"You..."

One of them pointed to the soldiers standing on the horse and shouted to get off the horse.

Without saying anything, the soldier looked at it numbly.

Unlike those soldiers who retreated, there was no fear in his eyes.

It's like a wooden man without feelings.

This indifferent look of life and death can only be owned by people who have experienced countless lives and deaths.

No anger, no crossbow, but let the student shiver and give a meal.

Zhao Hanqing also looked at the people who rushed to the front of him without fear, but with a bit of boredom.

What sinner? What credit? She didn't feel it, let alone anger, sadness and panic. She just listened to orders.

There's no order for her to deal with this situation, just wait.

The generals in the military array looked sad and sad. The sudden sound of horses' hooves turned out to be the urging of the Duke of Cheng.

"Let me meet them." He said.

At this time, I was forced and helpless.

But that's the only way. You can't be trapped here. You can't even enter the imperial city. That will become the reputation of the Duke of the country, and the face of the northern army will be completely gone.

From then on, they will become a joke of the Zhou Dynasty.

It takes ten years of war to gain fame, and it disappears in one day, which makes people sad and helpless.

In fact, even if you enter the imperial city and have these two obstacles, the joy and pride of the reward will disappear.

They separated to give way and followed with their horses, but at this time, Duke Cheng suddenly reined in his horse.

"Listen." He said, bending his ears.

Listen? Listen to what?

The generals were stunned and listened subconsciously.

It seems that there is a sound of stepping from afar. To be exact, it is not listening, but feeling.

Feel the vibration from the ground.

The ground is really shaking. Although it is very slight, it can still be judged that many people are coming here.

This kind of vibration is not caused by the trampling of horses' hooves, but by the landing of human feet.

It is possible to cause this kind of vibration by stepping on people's feet, at least tens of thousands of people.

Tens of thousands of people are coming this way?

Spectators?

Is it a little late and too dense?

The generals couldn't help looking back, and the soldiers in the military array noticed it. They all looked back.

When two people turned their heads together, the noisy people around couldn't help stopping.

"What are you doing?"

"What are you looking at?"

They talked and looked back.

Chen Qi, standing on the top of the carriage, shook and fell down.

"What's going on?" He said angrily and scolded the coachman, "keep the carriage steady and don't shake."

The coachman held the carriage uneasily.

"Seventh master, the ground is shaking." He said.

What ground Chen Qigang wanted to ask. Shopkeeper Liu, who was still standing on the roof, suddenly reached out and pestled him.

Because Chen Qi sat down, shopkeeper Liu didn't know, so he put his hand directly on his head.

"Hey, boss." Chen Qi shouted, protecting his head.

Shopkeeper Liu didn't stop or look at him.

"Look, look, there are a lot of people over there." He said.

A lot of people? How many people can there be? Everyone in the capital is here.

Chen Qi sat on the roof and looked around. He couldn't help staring.

My mother, he cried in his heart, there are really a lot of people.

It was like a line coming from the horizon.

Chen Qi and Fang Jinxiu went to watch the tide this year and were shocked by the tide coming from the Qiantang River.

At this moment, looking at the person in sight, he is like seeing the Qiantang River tide again.

How can there be so many people?

Who is this?

Shopkeeper Liu stood high and looked far away, looking stunned.

"It's like... A refugee." He said.

Refugees?

Chen Qi narrowed his eyes. The crowd in his sight was getting closer and closer. He could see the people walking in the front, men, women, young and old.

They are ragged, they are dusty, and their faces are full of vicissitudes.

The woman is holding the child, the old man is leaning on a stick, and the man is holding the woman, leaning on each other and staggering.

It seems to have crossed mountains, waded through water, trekked thousands of miles and trotted here.

Like thousands of miles of lightning, thousands of miles of thunder rolling, covering the clouds and blocking the sun.

………………………

The noise gradually stopped.

The noisy people raised their hands to their mouths and looked at the crowd in amazement.

The scholar pointed to the soldiers in front of him, but he and the soldiers did not look at each other, but also looked at the crowd.

As the crowd gets closer and closer, we can see that these people have different identities, but they are really ordinary people.

Not a scholar or a soldier.

It's to see the lively people.

The fact that Cheng Guogong's parade was summoned by the emperor had long been announced. People from many places rushed to see it. The rich people booked a foothold in the capital early and came in sedan chairs, while more people who couldn't afford to hire cars and horses came on foot.

These people who are coming from far away places now can't arrive until now.

It's good to see the excitement. Whether Duke Cheng is killed in a rage or gets off his horse to plead guilty, it will be seen and publicized by everyone.

And their righteousness and prestige can also be famous all over the world. With the experience of confrontation with senior officials and important officials such as Cheng Guogong, they will have a prominent qualification whether they are officials or enter school in the future.

Come and see. The more you come, the better.

Scholars and students are more inspired.

"But is there too much here?" Suddenly one of the students murmured.

The front crowd has arrived, but the distance is still dense, as if from the horizon

"There must be ten thousand people."

………………………………

The drumming outside the imperial city had stopped. The emperor sat upright, looked gentle and smiling, and there were seven or eight important officials summoned to accompany him.

Without the sound of drums, the cheers of the people outside the imperial street were clearer, which made the emperor feel very happy.

The sight swept under the city gate, and all officials had lined up according to their positions, but there seemed to be some confusion in the standing, probably because many people were talking in a low voice.

The scene is a little ugly.

However, the emperor was always good tempered and did not scold, but turned around and asked him what he was most concerned about.

"Where is Cheng Guogong?"

But when several ministers with smiles heard this question, they looked a little strange and seemed uneasy. For a time, no one took the initiative to answer.

It's a little rude in front of you.

However, the emperor was still not angry, not even a trace of displeasure. If someone looked carefully, he could see a stronger smile in the bottom of his eyes.

"What's the matter?" He asked voluntarily, "is everything all right?"

After all this inquiry, we can't refuse to answer. A minister hesitated and stood up for a moment.

Go ahead, go ahead.

The emperor looked at him gently.

Footsteps interrupted the conversation here.

Regardless of the right monarchs and ministers, and without asking for permission, Lu yunqi went straight over the minister to the emperor and whispered a few words in his ear.

The minister saw that the emperor's face changed suddenly. He seemed surprised and angry.

Well, the mood and speed are good. It's still the second watch today.
