"Brother, how long until the change of guard?"
"Two hours."
The two soldiers guarding Chang 'an City whispered to each other with furrowed brows.
They didn't know why their luck was so bad today. Because they obstructed the courier who was holding an urgent letter from 800 miles away, they were pointed at the nose and scolded by the city defense general. Even now, they felt so wronged that they wanted to cry. However, when they thought that there were still two hours before they could change guards, their expressions became much better.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, dust billowed in the distance.
The two city guards stared in shock at the 3,000 Dragon Slaying Guards in the distance, clad in dragon scales and looking determined. Their mouths were agape, unable to speak for a long time.
The Dragon Slaying Guards were famous throughout Chang 'an.
Although they had never been on the battlefield and were just a group of new recruits, no one dared to underestimate them. The lowest cultivation among them was at the peak of the Qi Clan. Among the six Commanders, Xue Rengui was a First Grade Martial Strategy Officer. In the entire Tang Empire, these people were the most monstrous of all monsters!
"Halt!"
The two city guards exchanged a look of shock and hurriedly shouted.
The Dragon Slaying Guards did not carry any weapons when they entered the city last time, and there were thousands of Jinwu Guards monitoring them all the way, so they did not pose a threat. But this time, it was different. Looking at the Tang swords on their waists and the murderous aura emitted from their black armor, they were about to attack Chang 'an!
Boom! Boom!
However, the 3,000 Dragon Slaying Guards continued forward.
The two men shouted again," This is Chang 'an City, the capital. If you dare to take another step, you will be executed on the spot!"!”
Boom! Boom!
The footsteps were not disordered at all.
The eyes of the two city guards were red. If it wasn't for the fact that they were in the wrong place, they would have hugged each other and cried. They were both soldiers. Couldn't they give them face and stop for a moment to explain their origins?
"Stop!"
At this moment, a low voice sounded.
Boom! Boom!
The three thousand Dragon Slaying Guards stopped in their tracks.
The strict military discipline and neat formation seemed to symbolize that they were not newly established guards, but more like strong soldiers and generals who had been through the battlefield.
Dressed in a green robe, Fang Jun walked to the city gate of Chang 'an and looked up at the dilapidated city gate. He muttered to himself," If the people are poor, the country will not be rich. If the country is not rich, it will not be strong. No wonder Li Er had no choice but to kill the white horse and sign the temporary bridge alliance after Jie Li Khan led his troops south. Who can this city defense defend against?"
Wuwuwu--
At this moment, two sobs sounded.
Fang Jun lowered his head in confusion and looked at the two city guards who were sitting on the ground, hugging each other and crying."Why are you crying?"
"General Longxu, you are the future son-in-law of the emperor, how can you be a traitor!”
"You can't rebel and enter the city. If you go in, my entire family will die. Please understand that I have an eighty-year-old mother and a child who is still in swaddling clothes.”
The two city guards wiped their tears and begged.
Fang Jun was speechless.
————
Outside the city gates of Chang 'an, three thousand Dragon Slaying Guards with child-like faces and wearing dragon scales gathered at the city gates with their backs straight like butterflies fluttering in the spring water of the capital.
The city defense general was so scared that he did not dare to come out.
But he was afraid that closing the city gates would anger Prime Minister Fang Xuanling's son, who was also the future son-in-law of the Great Tang, so he quickly reported to his superiors until Cheng Yaojin arrived anxiously.
"Fang Jun!"
"Are you crazy?" Cheng Yaojin shouted. How dare you bring troops into the city!"
Fang Jun was depressed. The two city guards were crying like wronged wives. They sat on the ground and wiped their tears. When they heard Cheng Yaojin's voice, they turned to look at Cheng Yaojin, who had rushed over before he took off his court clothes. They spread out their hands and said,"Uncle Cheng, without His Majesty's orders, how could I possibly bring troops into the city?”
"Then bring her back!"
Cheng Yaojin heaved a sigh of relief. He put his arm around Fang Jun's shoulder and whispered into his ear," The Tang Empire is not at peace now, and Chang 'an City is in a state of panic. What would His Majesty think if you led your troops outside the city at this critical moment? What will the officials think?"
"Didn't His Majesty go to Jingzhou?"
"Could it be that His Majesty hasn't left yet?"”
Cheng Yaojin's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Fang Jun in shock. Several urgent letters had arrived not long ago, and other than the officials of the fifth rank and above who knew about this matter, no one else knew about it. How did he know?
"Uncle Cheng."
Fang Jun said bluntly," I need to make a trip to the palace. During this time, Uncle Cheng, please help me keep an eye on these new recruits. If anyone dares to lead troops to surround the Dragon Slaying Guards, let those generals and soldiers leave."”
"What exactly are you trying to do!"
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but ask," How did you know about what happened in the imperial court? Your father, Fang Xuanling, probably hasn't even returned home. He followed the Emperor to Jingzhou. He couldn't have told you about this. Where did you get the news?"”
"Of course I found out."
Fang Jun's expression was solemn." As for how we found out, it's not convenient to tell you now. Uncle Cheng, I can only tell you that the Tang Empire is in chaos and is about to be lit up. However, the most important thing now is to remove the danger in Chang 'an so that His Majesty, who is rushing to Jingzhou, will not have to worry about anything!”
"Is that true?"
Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened.
"What do you think I'm doing?"
Fang Jun rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice," I'm going to the palace to meet the Empress. The Dragon Slaying Guards must be responsible for the defense of Chang 'an Fortress, so that I can handle the following matters easily!”
"I agree to this!"
"I still have that right," Cheng Yaojin said resolutely."His Majesty has given me an imperial edict to lead the royal guards to guard the capital and the Dragon Slaying Guards to defend the city. You don't need to enter the palace. I can approve it for you!"”
Fang Jun was very touched and rejected him.
