Everyone originally thought that what was delivered this time was something like self-heating hot pot instant noodles.
But what they didn't expect was that after opening the box, there was steaming hot food inside.
There is porridge, meat, eggs, various vegetables, and several kinds of pancakes.
Not to mention when they are away from home, even on ordinary days, they rarely eat so well.
Everyone was very happy, but no one stuffed the food into their mouths directly. Instead, they waited obediently for Li Junyan to give orders.
Looking at the variety of dishes, Li Junyan knew that Sang Jueqian must be very busy this afternoon.
I feel a little sorry for her busy life, but I can't bear to let her down.
Li Junyan stood up and looked at the guards, "The goddess sent the food to reward you, and you must not let the goddess down.
Eat well and rest, we will set off in half an hour, and we will reach Xizhou tonight."
The guards responded in unison, their voices incredibly loud.
"We must reach Xizhou tonight!"
"We must reach Xizhou tonight!"
"We must reach Xizhou tonight!"
Although there were only 500 men and horses, at this moment, they shouted with a mighty momentum that could break the sky.
Sang Jueqian, who was outside the screen, felt that their shouting was a bit deafening.
While marveling at their momentum, Sang Jueqian was also a little curious.
Li Junyan said to Zhu Wuyou, give him five days, why should he rush to reach Xizhou before Zhu Wuyou?
If time and conditions permit, Sang Jueqian would definitely ask directly.
But now neither is allowed, so Sang Jueqian can only wait and see.
However, this feeling is somewhat like immersive TV series watching, which feels pretty good.
In order to avoid missing out on important plots, Sang Jueqian quickly went upstairs to take a shower after dinner, changed into comfortable pajamas, hugged the summer quilt, lay back on the recliner, and began to immersively watch the drama.
-
Near midnight, we arrived at Xizhou.
From a distance, you can see flames on the city walls of Xizhou.
In the light of the fire, you can vaguely see the guards standing guard above.
Xu San glanced towards the city wall and asked, "Your Majesty, should we wait until tomorrow to open the city gates?"
Li Junyan's eyes were gloomy, with a chilling light flashing in them. "Even at dawn, the city gates will not open."
Xu San was a little stunned, "Why?"
"Zhu Wuyou doesn't want people to enter the city at will, so why would he open the city gates?
If he was willing to open the city gates, how could those disaster victims walk to Tingzhou on foot?"
Xu San was a little embarrassed. "Your Highness is the one who sees things clearly. I am the one who is dull. But the city gates are closed. How can we get in?"
We can't wait for Zhu Wuyou to come back and go in with him, right?
If that were the case, then there would be no point in them running over here early.
Li Junyan raised his lips in a sarcastic arc, "I want to enter the city, can they stop me at the gate?"
Without waiting for Xu San to say anything else, Li Junyan waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, follow me into the city!"
Everyone responded in unison, riding their horses and following Li Junyan towards the city gate.
In the silence of the night, the sound of five hundred horses galloping together was no less than the sound of the earth cracking and the sky collapsing.
The soldiers guarding the city wall, who were originally a little drowsy, all woke up instantly after hearing the sound.
Song He, the city gate official who was drinking in the house, heard the noise and almost knocked over the wine jar on the table. He asked anxiously, "What's going on? What happened outside?"
A soldier rushed in and said, "City Gate Officer, a large number of people are coming outside, several hundred of them, and they look very aggressive. City Gate Officer, go and take a look!"
Song He slammed his hand on the table. "Let's go! I want to see who dares to come to Xizhou City in the middle of the night. Is he really that bold?"
Song He hurried to the city wall and looked down. He could only see a lot of people and horses below. The person in the front looked very imposing and it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
Not only him, but also the people behind him were well-equipped.
"Who is coming?" Song He asked loudly.
Xu San looked up at Song He and said, "The Prince has arrived. Please open the city gates immediately."
When Song He heard the word "Prince Chen", he sobered up instantly.
Prince Chen is here?
Why did Prince Chen come?
Shouldn’t Prince Chen be in Tingzhou?
Although Xizhou and Tingzhou are adjacent to each other, the princes cannot leave their fiefdoms at will. It is also wrong for Prince Chen to come to Xizhou late at night!
For a moment, thoughts flashed through Song He's mind one after another.
But when he met Li Junyan's extremely cold eyes, all his thoughts were thrown out of his mind in an instant.
"Your Highness..." Song He swallowed hard, "Why would Your Highness come here so late at night? Our governor went to Tingzhou two days ago. He might have arrived today. We just missed him!"
Xu San's face turned cold. "Do you dare to ask the prince to go back to him? Quickly open the city gates and welcome the prince into the city. Wait for your governor to return to the governor's mansion."
Hearing Xu San's words, Song He subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his head.
Who does he think he is?
How dare I arrange things for Prince Chen?
Even though the Prince of Chen was banished from the capital and sent to the remote Tingzhou, he was still not someone a mere city gate guard like him could provoke.
Song He looked at Xu San and said dryly, "But...but the governor said before he left that the door should not be opened unless he comes back..."
Before he could finish his words, Song He's voice weakened.
It is no longer possible now. Although he gave the order before leaving, the Prince of Chen has already arrived outside the city gate. Is it still possible to stop him outside?
