Early morning the next day. To be honest, Gu Renjian was very, very angry today. The boy's words yesterday had spread throughout the imperial army. Many ministers in the court also knew about those words. When they found out, he was so angry that he almost bit his teeth. , so today no matter what, I have to take a look at that boy for insulting the imperial official. But he was surprised that it was already time to go to court and he had not been seen yet. "Could it be that he didn't dare to come because he was afraid that he would attend the imperial court?" This was Gu Renjian's thought. "Even if I don't come, I still want to join him!" These were Gu Renjian's second thoughts. After kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, Gu Renjian was just about to step out when a hurried message came from outside the hall. King Jing and the ministers were shocked. Such urgent news had not appeared for a long time, and when such news appeared, it was always an emergency. King Jing hurriedly said: "Xuan!" After Qi Eunuch's high-pitched voice, a man dressed as a messenger appeared at the door of the main hall, then hurriedly entered the main hall, then knelt down on one knee and said: "Report to the Emperor , reports came from outside the palace that two thousand soldiers and horses belonging to General Deng Long have begun to mobilize out of the military camp, and each of them has a weapon!" "Weapon?" King Jing's face suddenly changed: This boy just swore yesterday Guarantee, why did you mobilize the troops so early in the morning? Got a weapon? Thinking of the composition of those two thousand people, I broke out in a cold sweat! Seeing the opportunity, Gu Renjian quickly took a step forward and said: "Report to your Majesty, Deng Long's private deployment of troops without the permission of the Ministry of War is a serious crime!" King Jing was a little angry. There are still people making trouble here at this juncture. So I glanced at him lightly and said angrily: "I have agreed that Deng Long's two thousand soldiers and horses will be separated from the control of the Ministry of War and will be under my control like the Royal Forest Army. Apart from me, the highest one is Deng Long. So even if there is no With the permission of the Ministry of War, he can mobilize troops and horses. This has nothing to do with your Ministry of War!" As soon as King Jing said this, the ministers in the hall were shocked. They were separated from the control of the Ministry of War and were under the control of the emperor like the Royal Forest Army. Doesn't that mean that this The army will now have the same status as the Imperial Guard. As the second-in-command of this army, doesn't Deng Long have the same status as the Yulin Army man? Although Deng Long only holds a third-grade title, no one dares to underestimate this third-grade title now. Now this army only has 2,000 troops, but who can guarantee that it will not be 20,000 in the future? Two hundred thousand? Taishi Han was also slightly surprised and turned to look at Yang Linguang. Yang Linguang looked calm, as if he knew. Yang Linguang also noticed Taishi Han, but ignored him and asked: "What weapons are they holding in their hands?" "For the Prime Minister. It's a sickle! And they also put up a big flag with the words "People's The disciple soldiers!" Sickle? ? ? King Jing was also puzzled, what would a soldier do with a sickle instead of swords, guns and clubs? And what is the people's soldiers? King Jing was confused, then he shook his head vigorously and said: "Pass my decree to Uncle Ten and ask him to send four thousand imperial guards to follow to see what happened!" Then he ignored the comments of some ministers. Wanting to remonstrate, he waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything, retreat from the court!" The Imperial Forest Army now felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Last night, the neighbors were fussing over it until midnight. They were drinking and eating meat, and some people were yelling at the top of their lungs, which caused a lot of discussion among the imperial guards. Others plan to go over and give a warning, but there is an order from above: Anyone who dares to step out of the camp will be dealt with according to military law! So although the soldiers were very dissatisfied, they could only hold on hard. I thought they had made enough trouble and stopped making trouble. But the matter is not over yet. It was still dark this morning. There was a commotion nearby. The soldiers on the watchtower even saw that these people were holding things in their hands, even though it was not very bright. You can still see the cold light above. So the sentry immediately notified the supreme commander of the Royal Forest Army, the old man that day. When the old man climbed up the watchtower, the two thousand people next to him had already set off! The queue was quite neat. At the same time, he also saw clearly what those people were holding, which turned out to be sickles. The old man couldn't help but wonder, what were these people doing with sickles so early in the morning? Although I knew there must be a purpose behind this, I was still somewhat uneasy about the two thousand people, so I quickly arranged for a few scouts to follow them from a distance to see what they were going to do. The matter was far from over. An hour after the two thousand men set off, the emperor's imperial edict also came into the hands of the old man. The request was very simple, that is, send four thousand men to follow the two thousand men. If anything goes wrong, kill them. No mercy! The old man sighed slightly, then called the messengers, ignited the four thousand troops, and at the same time he personally hung up his shirt, and led the four thousand troops to chase after the two thousand troops. The scout came back to deliver the news and tell the group where they were going. In the small village, Jing'er and I got up from where we lay last night and walked slowly along the river. The morning air seemed particularly fresh. I breathed the air greedily while holding Jing'er in one hand, feeling this rare peace. The water in the river was very clear, and I could clearly see the swimming fish in it. A group of ducks were flapping their wings in the river, scaring the small fishes from scurrying around. When she walked to a relatively open place on the river, Jing'er suddenly bent down and picked up a piece of cake from the ground.Then throw the pebbles lightly, the pebbles draw a perfect parabola, fall into the water with a thud, splashing a small water splash, and then ripples spread out in circles, and some small ones on the river The duckweed floats up and down with the ripples. Jing'er stared at the water with her two big eyes, raised a smile on her lips, turned her head and said: "When we get old, I will live here and be an ordinary farmer. Just like uncle and aunt, we will grow old together!" "An ordinary farmer? I smiled slightly, put my arms around her waist, and said: "Whenever I get tired of being an official and tired of this life of fighting, I will definitely accompany you and Feixue, Yingying, can you find someone else?" Living in seclusion in a place where people live, I will no longer be the head of the Deng family, a third-grade general, but your bad old man!" Jing'er said quickly: "Do you mean what you say?" I held her hand with both hands, Said: "Even if I, Deng Long, lie to heaven and earth, I will never lie to my wife Jing'er!" Two red clouds suddenly flew up on Jing'er's face. Just as we were immersed in the sweetness, a slight cough interrupted this rare peace. We looked in the direction where the sound came from and saw the old village chief standing not far from us, looking a little embarrassed. Jing'er quickly retracted her hand. I didn't notice for a moment, but her hand was retracted. When he saw us looking at him and knowing that we seemed embarrassed to have disturbed us, he said:. I laughed and said: "It's nothing, uncle, you haven't been young yet, what's the matter! Haha!" The old village chief also showed a smile on his face and said: "The young man is right, I think about when I was young " So, the old village chief told us how he met his current aunt when he was young, and what happened after that. Without paying attention, more than half an hour passed. The weather today is not very good, a bit gloomy, and at that time I usually check the time outside or look at the sun. If there was no sun, according to my level, it would be almost impossible to tell the difference between morning and afternoon. However, the gloomy day also made me a little more worried. The current weather in Beijing, in this season, if it rains, it will probably last for several days, and it will also be accompanied by strong winds. In that case, the rice in the rice fields will It is likely to be knocked down by the wind, and then soaked in water. It may become moldy or sprout! And I looked at the rice in the rice fields. According to the standards of the time, it was a rare bumper harvest. If it rained, it would be all over. There is still no news from the people who ran away last night, and I don¡¯t know if the two thousand people have arrived. According to my estimation, if they come out at dawn, they will be here soon! My worries were also expressed in the conversation, and the old village chief seemed helpless when he mentioned these. It would be difficult to maintain a basic life in a village without adult men. Just when the old village chief was worried about the harvest in the rice fields, the aunt ran over from where he had just come. After arriving, she said hurriedly: "Old old man it's not good, there are a lot of people coming from the entrance of the village. People!" The old village chief was shocked when he heard this, and I was overjoyed: It's finally here. So I comforted him: "Don't worry, we'll find out when we go and take a look!" After walking a few steps, I saw the brother I ran away from yesterday walking over quickly. When he arrived, he clasped his fists and said, "Brother, everyone is here." We're here!" The old village chief's face changed drastically after hearing this. He thought I was a bad guy, pointed at me and said, "You, who are you?" I smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, are you worried that no one will help you? Are you harvesting crops? Those people at the entrance of the village are the people I sent to help you harvest crops!" Then, not allowing him to say anything else, she took his hand and walked towards the entrance of the village. The whole village seemed very quiet. Everyone probably knew that there was a group of unwanted guests at the entrance of the village, and they were all hiding in their houses. Only some guard dogs were still faithfully performing their duties and barking at the door. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw two thousand people and horses lined up neatly at the entrance of the village. At the front of the team, stood Yang Kaiwu, Lao San and others. Behind the team, stood twenty big men. Behind them, there were There was a long queue, and it seemed that leaders for every hundred people had been selected yesterday. Fortunately, there was a wide open space at the entrance of the village for drying grain, but with these two thousand people standing up, it seemed very crowded. As soon as I took the old village chief's hand and appeared in front of everyone, including Yang Kaiwu and others, they all knelt on the ground and said in unison: "I see the general!" General? ? The old village chief and the old lady who came with me all looked at me. The young man with a gentle face in front of me was actually a general? ?
