now
Modern City is like a pot of boiling water
Noise and shouting one after another
Interwoven into a prosperous and noisy scene.
In this bustling
I saw a horse galloping past like lightning.
The sound of horse hooves echoed throughout the street.
A man on horseback carrying a bag
serious expression
He was riding at full speed through the bustling crowd.
Not long
He finally arrived at the door of a magnificent mansion.
This house is tall and majestic
Above the lintel are three large characters "Dudufu" written in a flamboyant style.
The brushwork is vigorous and powerful
There is an air of majesty.
The man saw
Hastily tighten the reins
Let the horse stop.
Then, he swiftly jumped off his horse.
Walk quickly to the door of the house.
Arrived at the door
He took out a golden token from his pocket.
Hand it to the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper took the token and looked at it carefully.
A look of respect immediately appeared on his face
He quickly bowed and said, "Please come in, sir!"
After saying that, he carefully opened the door
Respectfully welcome this person into the mansion.
at this time
Yuwen Jie was sitting in the study
The desk is piled high with official documents.
He frowned slightly
Concentrate on the official business at hand
Occasionally write notes
Sometimes he was silent and thoughtful.
suddenly
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door
Then a voice rang out: "Report to the Governor, someone is coming from the capital!"
Yuwen Jie heard this
Slowly raise your head
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes
But calm was soon restored.
He put down his pen
He said in a deep voice: "Let him in!"
A moment later
The messenger hurried into the study
After seeing Yuwen Jie, he said nothing
Fell to his knees with a thud
Holding a letter in both hands
He said, "Greetings, Grand Commander. This is a secret letter sent by your Majesty at the swiftest speed. Please review it!"
Yuwen Jie nodded slightly
Reach out and take the envelope.
He tore open the seal
Take out the letter paper
Expand and browse quickly.
As I read deeper
His expression gradually became serious.
His originally relaxed brows were now tightly furrowed.
After reading the letter
Yuwen Jie was silent for a moment
Then he said to the messenger kneeling on the ground, "You must have come such a long way. Go down and rest for a while. I will consider a countermeasure and then arrange for you to return and report."
"Yes, Grand Commander!"
The messenger responded
Then stood up
Bowed again
Then he turned and left the study.
After the messenger leaves
Yuwen Jie stood up and walked to the window
Looking at the scenery outside the window, I fell into deep thought.
After a while
He suddenly turned around
He shouted loudly: "Come here, quickly invite Mr. Huo to the study!"
"Yes, Governor!"
After the guards received the order
Don't dare to delay for a moment
He immediately took the order and left.
Not long after
A steady and powerful sound of footsteps came from far away
Mr. Huo walked into the study with brisk steps and a calm expression.
Yuwen Jie saw the visitor
Slightly raised his hand to signal him to sit down
After Mr. Huo sat down
Yuwen Jie said solemnly, "Mr. Huo, I've recently received news that something earth-shattering is about to happen in the capital. As a subject, I feel obligated to return and assist His Majesty in overcoming this difficult time. Therefore, I will temporarily entrust Modern City to your care. With your talent and prestige, I'm naturally extremely relieved to have you here."
Hearing Yuwen Jie's words of trust
Mr. Huo quickly stood up and bowed.
He responded respectfully and firmly, "Please rest assured, Grand Commander. I will do my utmost to manage Modern City wholeheartedly and will never give you any worries."
Yuwen Jie nodded with satisfaction
He then gave a serious instruction, "Also, I need to trouble Mr. Huo to quickly assemble 5,000 elite soldiers for this governor. The situation will undoubtedly be complex and a fierce battle is inevitable. Therefore, we must ensure that the soldiers we gather are brave, skilled, and well-trained."
"Yes, Grand Commander!"
Mr. Huo is well aware of the urgency of the situation.
I dare not be negligent in the slightest.
After he gave the order
Immediately turned around and walked out of the study quickly
I went there without stopping to arrange the relevant matters.
Yuwen Jie quickly picked up the pen
Between the flying dragons and dancing phoenixes
A reply letter has already appeared on the paper.
He carefully checked the contents of the letter.
After confirmation
Fold it neatly
Loading envelopes
And sealed with wax.
Afterwards, Yuwen Jie walked to the door himself
Hand this important letter to the messenger.
The messenger took the letter
Carefully put it in your arms
Then he bowed to Yuwen Jie and said goodbye.
Then he mounted his horse.
He raised his whip and galloped towards the capital.
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away
It soon disappeared at the end of the road in the distance.
And that very night
When all is quiet
Yuwen Jie had quietly assembled five thousand elite soldiers.
They are heavily armed
They were lined up silently in the open space outside Modern City.
Moonlight like water
Sprinkled on the soldiers' cold faces and sharp weapons
A hint of cold light flashed.
