Chapter 64: Difficulty entering the city

When Yun Ke's carriage arrived at Jiangxia City, it was almost dusk, but the sky was almost completely dark, and the rain seemed to be a little smaller than the previous two days, but it still didn't mean to stop. The majestic Jiangxia City stands under the low clouds, as if standing on the city wall and raising your hand can touch the sky. The sound of thunder came faintly from the clouds. Not very loud, muffled, rolling in general. From time to time, a few lightning bolts will be shot among the clouds that are pressing down, and the light of the lightning flashes across the sky, illuminating Jiangxia City one after another.

"My lord. I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the city." The carriage stopped on a high **** outside the city. Du Xia came back and said, "I don't know where the refugees have already surrounded the periphery of Jiangxia City, and the Jiangxia County Governor has ordered the city gate to be closed."

"En." The person in the carriage responded a little sullenly, the curtain moved slightly, and a token was handed out, "Take this king's token and ask the guards in the city to open the door. Just say this king With His Majesty's decree, these refugees must be let in." After traveling for days, Yun Ke, who was not well injured, actually contracted the cold on the way, and now he has a high fever. I was almost out of energy.

"Yes." Du Xia respectfully took the token and galloped down the slope.

Outside Jiangxia City was already surrounded by refugees. He rode a horse and could only circle around the periphery, shouting loudly, "Make way, I was sent by the imperial court."

The refugees, already numb from the heavy rain, built improvised shacks outside the city with whatever they could find to shelter from the rain, and their hometowns were already flooded. They survived the flood and finally came to Jiangxia City, but were blocked by the county governor in the city, and the resentment in their hearts had already accumulated to the extreme. With such a heavy rain, there is not even a place to rest, and many people are sick. The despair brought by death shrouded the hearts of every refugee outside Jiangxia City.

Du Xia's shout was suppressed by the sound of thunder and rain, and it didn't spread far. It was of no use at all. No one made way for him. He could only wander around the periphery and couldn't get close to the city wall.

"Your hope is in my hands!" Du Xia had no choice but to use his inner strength to send his voice out, "If you let me go, I promise that our prince will persuade the county governor of Jiangxia City to open the city gate and let you go. Go in. Then you won't have to eat outside and sleep outside."

Du Xia's voice came out clearly this time, and when those refugees who had no hope at all suddenly heard such words, their hearts seemed to have a glimmer of hope.

The refugees who were close to Du Xia moved their place suspiciously. As soon as they moved, the people behind followed them. Soon, a narrow passage appeared in front of Du Xia.

Du Xia bowed his hands on the horse and said loudly, "Thank you!" He rode his horse forward, quickly came under the city wall, flashed the token in his hand, and shouted loudly, "The soldiers in the city listen, Below is the guard of Prince An’s mansion, and in his hand is the token of His Royal Highness, Prince An, who has ordered disaster relief, has already arrived at the city gate, you open the city gate and let us in!”

When he shouted like this, the refugees stood up one after another. Is it really Prince An who has come down? Although they don't care who is Prince An's Highness, it is a prince who has come. People in the city can't keep the prince outside the city gate. Maybe they can really enter now. They are already waiting outside the city. It has been a few days, and now there is hope, the crowd suddenly became excited, and rushed to the door like a tide, and Du Xia was even living in the place of the horse. .

Du Xia was afraid that the refugees would really startle the horse and cause more turmoil, so he had to comfort his horse while shouting loudly, "Why don't you open the door quickly?"

The defenders on the city looked at each other, they heard Du Xia's words, but who dared to open the city gate, stand on the city wall and look down, the refugees below were densely packed like locusts, if they were flooded into Jiangxia City, what would happen!

"Brother guard, wait a moment, let us report back to the county guard." A sergeant-like person shouted down, and after he finished shouting, he said to a soldier beside him, "Hurry up and go to the county guard. Mansion, what are you still doing?" The little soldier suddenly woke up, and immediately ran down the tower. Chi Ping died.

"Open the door!" Seeing that the city gate hadn't opened for a long time, some refugees who were rushing in front of them couldn't hold it in any longer. They slapped the heavy city gate and shouted loudly. The sound was higher than the sound, the wave was higher than the wave, and the sound echoed between the heavens and the earth, with a palpitating power.

Du Xia's horse was startled by the sound, and trod even more uneasy, wishing for someone to stand up. Du Xia tried his best to control it and comfort it. He anxiously looked around, and suddenly felt that his own strength was in the air. In front of so many refugees, he seems to have become very insignificant. He is like a boat drifting in this crowd of people, and he may be engulfed by the sea of ​​people at any time.

On the far hillside, Yun Ke also heard the shouts from the city gate. He raised the curtain of the carriage, and immediately a guard came over to open the umbrella to cover his body and helped him out of the carriage.

"My lord, it's very cold outside, you should rest in the carriage." The bodyguard said in a low voice, looking at Yun Ke's pale face with a little worry. There was an abnormal flush on his face, which was a high fever. caused.

"It doesn't matter." Yun Ke shook his head, looking at the crowd in the distance, his brows furrowed deeply. "Is the letter from the given king sure to be delivered?" he asked.

"Yes. Your Majesty, I'm sure it has been delivered." The bodyguard nodded and said. "It was handed over to King Ding by the humble hands."

"En. Then he should be here soon." Yun Ke nodded, and just after he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horse hooves on the official road behind him. He looked back and saw that under the gloomy sky, between the vast sky and the earth, a large flag was first printed into his eyes. Although it was raining, the flag could not be displayed, but the striking red and black colors were like After piercing the darkness in the sky and the earth, a team of cavalrymen gradually emerged from behind the banner, and they were rapidly marching towards this side.

"Here." The guard pointed happily and said to Yun Ke, "It must be the cavalry of His Royal Highness King Ding."

It was indeed King Ding's cavalry team.

A gleam of light flashed in Yun Ke's eyes. He was too familiar with the red and black flag. In his last life, he became emperor. This sixth brother was very dissatisfied. In the eleventh year of his ascension, Gu Yuqi set fire to it. The winter that burned himself finally couldn't hold back his rebellion.

The cavalry team quickly rushed behind Yun Ke's carriage, and a knight in the lead jumped off the horse and walked towards Yun Ke quickly.

"Fourth brother." Yun Ke saw him walk in, and bowed his hands and said, "It's just that the fourth emperor's brother is asked to run up there in person, it's really not a minister's brother."

He first called the fourth brother to show his closeness, and then changed the title of the fourth brother, calling himself a minister, expressing his submission and admiration. He knew his fourth brother too well. If it weren't for his conceit, he was really a rare general. Unfortunately, it was his excessive conceit that killed him.

"What did the seventh brother say?" Yun Qing strode over and supported Yun Ke's arm. He was only wearing armor, not a scorpion, and the rain flowed along his armor and fell on Yun Ke's arms. With a chill, Yun Ke couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Realizing that Yun Ke's body temperature was different from ordinary people, Yun Qing couldn't help but startled slightly, "Is the seventh brother sick?"

"It's just that he was infected with the cold, and my younger brother has lived in the capital for a long time. It's really unbearable to fall ill after coming out." Yun Ke said humbly, he knew the temper of his fourth brother, as long as he showed weakness in front of him, what would he do? It's easy to say, and they will take good care of you.

People are good people, it's a pity... Yun Ke sighed silently in the bottom of his heart, but it's a pity that he still died in his own hands in the end.

He raised his eyes to look at his fourth brother. Yun Qing had a very handsome face. In fact, after a hundred years of precipitation, Yun's royal children were outstanding in both temperament and appearance. He is half a head taller than himself. Because of his long-term experience in the military camp, between his eyebrows, there is a bit of heroism and might that is different from that of the princes in the capital. His skin is also a healthy wheat color, and he has white teeth. The smile looks very kind and hearty.

If he does not rebel in the future, perhaps in addition to the sixth brother, he will have one more person to talk to. Yun Ke can't help but feel a little regretful. Such a king Ding is really a rare general. If he is there, Can keep one side safe.

"You are often in the capital, so you are not very suitable for the climate here, especially this year, it's raining like hell, it's hard for you. I have already sent someone to pick up the food you asked for, so don't worry about the refugees. Looting, it’s just that the food delivery team is slow, and it will take five days to get here.” Yun Qing patted Yun Ke’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Let’s go, I’ll **** you into the city.” Because Yun Ke deliberately His humility and the frailty of his body now made Yun Qing feel a little closer to Yun Ke, and he did not pose as King Ding in front of him, but used the most common name. After all, he hadn't seen his brother from the capital for a long time in Jiangbei Camp. Moreover, this younger brother is the one who has the least interest in seizing the heir among the many brothers. He just needs to guard against him. Yun Ke could get closer.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Yun Ke turned his head to look at the location of the city gate, Yun Qing followed his gaze and couldn't help but stunned, his brows furrowed, "What's going on with this Jiangxia county guard? It's actually closed. city ​​gate."

"Yeah." Yun Ke replied lightly, but his heart felt a little chilly. The defenders in the city were all his Yunqing people. Wouldn't he know that the Jiangxia county guard closed the city gate? I'm afraid that if the city gate is not opened, it can't get rid of Yunqing.

He should have a lot of industries in Jiangxia City. In his last life, he relied on Jiangbei Camp and started a rebellion based on Jiangxia City. He has been operating in Jiangxia for many years. Jiangxia City is all over Yunqing. People and eyeliner.

Yun Ke's heart moved slightly. Without his father's hand, the army in the Jiangbei camp could not be mobilized at will, and Yun Qing could not leave the Jiangbei camp at will. He was on the mission of disaster relief, and he brought his father's hand, and asked Yunqing to help protect the safety of the disaster relief food, so that he had a reason to mobilize the army. In the last life, after entering the city, he was infected with the plague, and the disease was dark and dark. This time, he could have a good look at Yun Qing's foundation in Jiangxia City.

Yun Ke also sighed in the bottom of his heart, so even the fourth brother has a lot of selfishness, and compared to them, he seems a lot cleaner.

Those who want to work hard towards that position, who can say that they are as clean as white paper?

"It's alright, with my brother here, Xiaoqi don't have to worry." Yun Qing saw Yun Ke's pale face and flickering eyes, he just thought he was scared, but he couldn't help but look down on himself, the seventh brother, and he could get himself in a hurry. If you are sick, what can you do? I don't know what the royal father thought, but he actually sent such a soft-footed shrimp for disaster relief. Yun Yi even recommended such a person, I'm afraid there is no one around.

"Yes. Naturally, I have to rely on the fourth brother." Yun Ke knew that he had a bit of contempt for him, and smiled lightly in his heart, and went on with his meaning. "I also ask the fourth brother to send more people to protect my safety."

"That's natural." Yun Qing couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly, as expected, he was greedy for life and fear of death.

That's fine, in the future when he becomes a prince of Anle, he can live a safe and prosperous life, but he is afraid that if he is too close to Yun Yi, he will inevitably hurt himself in the future.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tentatively said, "I heard that you came to rescue the disaster was highly recommended by the fifth emperor in front of the father?"

Yun Ke deliberately sighed and didn't say anything else, he just said softly, "People have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves."

Yun Qing's brows raised slightly, but just this sentence, he also had a care in the bottom of his heart. Yun Ke and Yun Yi got closer, I'm afraid they were forced. That's it!

On the city wall, the soldier who went to the county governor's mansion to report has run back out of breath, "Boss, the county governor said that if the city gate is opened, I am afraid that these refugees will come in and make trouble. I don’t know if the token is true or false, what if it is false? Who will be responsible?”

As soon as the sergeant heard it, it was not a problem to continue like this. He stretched out half of his body and shouted to the people under the tower, "Hey, that eldest guard, our county governor said it. I can't be sure of your identity. This gate can't be opened!"

When Du Xia heard this, his brows furrowed deeply. Now he is trapped in the crowd with people and horses.

The order Yun Ke gave him was to open the city gate. Since he refused to listen well, don't blame him for bowing first and then soldiers. Thinking of this, his body rose into the air.
