So for the next few days, they almost spent them on horseback.
Every day as soon as it was light, they would set off, and they would only set up camp when it was almost dark. As soon as they lay down in the sleeping bag and closed their eyes, they would sleep, mechanically repeating this process.
Perhaps because of the fast pace, there was no news from the Imperial City.
This also fit with the previous life, exactly the same situation.
Yu Beizhou didn’t say much, as if he hadn’t noticed anything. Except for the sudden anger that day, everything was no different from usual.
However, Zong Luo keenly noticed that the ugly goshawk that had been following them was gone. When he asked Yu Beizhou, he was silent for a moment before he quietly said that he had sent the goshawk back to the front line to deliver a message, asking the first batch of Tianji Army that transported the Wei Country spoils to be ready at any time after entering the territory of Great Yuan.
“If the Sixth Prince really gets the military power of the garrison, there will be no shortage of troops.”
Zong Luo was stunned.
After a while, he tightened the crimson clothes on the horse and whispered, “Thank you.”
He was the crown prince, and he had the power of Xuan Cavalry in his hands. Unlike his previous life, when he was unjustified. As long as he explained clearly, there would be no problem with temporarily mobilizing the army.
Yu Beizhou also had military power, but his Tianji Army’s tiger talisman was incomplete, and the power to mobilize the army was limited to the front line against the Wei Country. Even if it was urgent and temporary, it would be based on the situation where the Emperor Yuan did not care. If it was followed up, the most serious was the capital crime of decapitation.
However, Yu Beizhou still silently called the Tianji Army to help out, and arranged the rear properly. He also calculated the worst situation.
“Since when does Senior brother need to thank me?”
The young man in red hugged him, still looking carefree, and the words he said seemed light and weightless, “If you really want to do something, it’s better to offer yourself.”
They were still galloping on the horse, and the sound was blurred by the cold wind. Only the four words “offer yourself” were clearly pronounced, light and steady, and were sent to the ears of the crown prince in white by the wind.
Zong Luo was in a daze, and when he turned his head, he found that this person was holding the reins, staring straight ahead, hugging tightly, obviously a bit nervous in fact.
He couldn’t help but laugh.
Yu Beizhou, who was tense, immediately looked over, his lips tightened, “What are you laughing at?”
The person being hugged had a smile that hadn’t faded, and only said, “After resolving the matter of the Imperial City, it’s not impossible to consider it.”
Just considering?
Yu Beizhou was not very satisfied with this answer, but thinking that they would soon return to the Imperial City, and thinking of the weight of his father’s bloodline in his senior brother’s heart, he snorted unhappily and didn’t say much.
On the other hand, Zong Luo was almost laughing madly in his heart.
However, such relaxation only lasted for a very short moment.
Soon, after rushing day and night for several days, they finally arrived at the foot of the Imperial City. The atmosphere of the army, which had just become a little more lively, became solemn and heavy again.
No other reason, two hundred thousand garrison soldiers from the Imperial City poured out, setting up heavy guards in front of the four city gates.
Not to mention a bird, even a fly couldn’t fly out.
In Zong Luo’s memory, even in his previous life, there was no such battle.
After all, at that time, he had been wandering at the foot of the Imperial City for a while, and he could still receive secret letters from Imperial Censor Xue, the entire city was not under martial law like this.
At the same time, his worries in his heart became more serious.
If it was the same as in his previous life, Emperor Yuan suddenly falling ill, then Father Emperor should still be unconscious now.
And the Sixth Prince’s rebellion, the news must have inadvertently leaked somewhere, thus Imperial Censor Xue knew. The garrison army would only be fully mobilized without the emperor’s order.
However, as long as Emperor Yuan did not wake up for a day, and did not issue an order for a day, the garrison soldiers could only guard the palace and ensure the safety of the emperor, and cannot influence the battle situation or directly suppress the rebellion.
This should also be the only thing that Emperor Yuan’s confidants could do when Emperor Yuan suddenly fell into a coma.
But it was still dangerous.
No one could enter the palace, even the imperial physician found it hard to get close. Not to mention that Pei Qianxue, who usually presided over the overall situation, was not there. If Emperor Yuan’s illness was delayed any longer, it was unbearable to imagine.
When they arrived at the gate of the Imperial City, Zong Luo signaled Mu Yuanlong to stop the Xuan Cavalry.
He and Yu Beizhou, on the other hand, were on guard and approached the main city gate.
“This last general pays respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!”
(t/n: Last general “末将-mo jiang”- which means “the generals who are inferior to the generals and the subordinate generals, or a young general’s humility in front of his superior)
Above the city gate, Duan Junhao, the commander of the garrison army, knelt down to welcome them.
However, he refused the request for the Xuan Cavalry to enter the Imperial City.
shook his head with a strange smile.
“No, it’s nothing.”
