As night approached, the entire capital was still bustling with noise. The lively lights were brightly lit, especially near the capital camp, where countless commoners gathered.
The long dragon-like infantry troops were stationed in the capital camp in an orderly manner, completely livening up the usually deserted capital camp.
Countless people who liked to watch the show and were unwilling to leave stood outside the military camp and cheered.
"Great General is mighty!"
Some people even took out firecrackers from their homes and set them off on the street.
"Crackle."
The fire was burning, and the little ones around them were shouting excitedly.
The grand occasion of Wang Cheng's 100,000-strong army entering the city ignited the hearts of the people in the capital who loved to watch the show.
"Ta."
The long line of people walked in unison from dusk until nightfall.
There was no other sound except the clashing of weapons and armors. Everyone seemed to be carved out of the same mold, solemn and spirited.
Flags were like the sea, and killing intent soared into the sky!
The air seemed to have solidified wherever they passed. The strict line made everyone feel a chill in their hearts, and they did not even dare to make any noise.
When the Qi Family's Army and the cavalry marched into the encampment of the capital camp in an orderly manner, all the ordinary people in the capital were in an uproar.
They seemed to have returned to the Yongle era, when the elite soldiers of the world gathered in the capital and fought in the south and north.
What Jian Krupp, what rebel, in front of such a powerful army, they could not even withstand a single blow.
An unprecedented sense of security enveloped the hearts of all the people in Beijing.
However, some people were happy while others were sad.
Chong Zhen looked at the reports that were being sent by the banners of the East Chamber, and his expression became more solemn.
"Is the military discipline as strict as the Qi Family's Army?"
"The method of training soldiers is suspected to be the new book?”
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"Cao Cao or Huo Guang?"
Chong Zhen paced back and forth in Taihe Palace anxiously, muttering to himself non-stop. Sweat covered his forehead, and the wrinkles on his face deepened.
In the silent Taihe Palace, only Chongzhen's heavy footsteps could be heard.
Chong Zhen could hear the faint noise from the outside, which made him absent-minded sometimes. It seemed that such a festive day had only appeared when he moved to Wei Zhongxian.
But now, Wang Cheng had actually appeared again. This made Chong Zhen extremely upset.
However, Chong Zhen reacted in an instant.
The reason why he felt that the Great General was a threat was because no one was as strong as the Great General. If he found someone who was as strong as the Great General, wouldn't he be at ease?
Thinking of this, Chongzhen's heart was instantly excited. He said to Wang Chengen on the side,""Go and invite Marquis Nan Ning over.”
Wang Chengen, who was on the side, immediately turned around to arrange for the imperial edict to be delivered, but he pondered in his heart. Marquis Zuo Liangyu of Ning Ning was not a simple person, but the general was a man-eating tiger.
Could he defeat the Great General?
……
As dusk fell, darkness enveloped the capital. Because of Chongzhen's suggestion to be thrifty, only a few lights were lit in the Forbidden City, making it look like a giant beast crouching in the shadows.
Ta Ta.
The light under the eaves of the palace was orange, soft and turbid. It cast a long and narrow shadow on the people who were gradually approaching from afar.
The night breeze of early summer carried a hint of coolness as it blew from the end of the corridor within the palace walls.
In the weak wind, the leaves on Wang Cheng's black gold armor swayed, carrying a hint of blood. The small yellow door leading the way could not help but tremble. The lantern swayed, and his heart was nervous.
"The people in the palace have changed into many unfamiliar faces.”
Ever since the last coup, the Emperor had been using the people he had recruited the earliest as part of the guards to protect the safety of the Imperial City. He remembered that the last time he had left the capital, they had still been serving as Imperial Guards.
However, they were no longer visible, replaced by a group of Imperial Army soldiers that he had never seen before, and who had a hint of a bandit's aura about them. Wasn't this a little too obvious?
In the end, it was because his power was too great that it caused some people to be wary.
"Yes…This servant has only entered the palace for half a month. At that time, the Great General was still outside fighting against that traitor Li Zicheng.”
This was the first time that the man from the Little Yellow Sect had seen Wang Cheng. Moreover, Wang Cheng's body was exuding a faint aura that made the man from the Little Yellow Sect panic, and his palms were sweating.
Following the lead, they went up the stone steps of the Palace of Heavenly Purity. The Brocade Guards on both sides opened the door. Wang Cheng walked in. More than ten bronze lamps as tall as a person danced with flames, and the lights were bright.
It was still early, and Chong Zhen was reading an imperial edict, seemingly waiting for him to come.
"Your subject, Wang Cheng, greets Your Majesty."
Wang Cheng walked over and bowed with cupped hands. His eyes were slightly lowered and his tone was calm. This time, he was too lazy to even bend his waist.
Chongzhen, who was writing the imperial edict in front of the dragon table, was focused. It was as if he did not hear Wang Cheng's greeting. He continued to bury his head and write vigorously.
The lights on both sides reflected Chongzhen's thin face, making him look much more solemn.
After a long time, Wang Cheng closed his eyes and raised his voice."This humble subject greets Your Majesty…"
The cold voice echoed in the hall like a cold wind blowing. The atmosphere in the hall instantly changed…
