Looking at Wang Fu and his group, Zhang Chao felt a little puzzled. Where did these cavalry come from? Why did they come to the Marquis' Mansion without saying a word? Now the court has lost the northern area. Although there are still many cavalry in the army, most of them are in the hands of the four towns in Jiangbei and Zuo Liangyu. The cavalry in the Beijing camp is rare, let alone all of them are tall and big horses like this.

Zhang Chao was the captain of Zhang Gongri, the prince of Longping. His family has been tenants in the Longping Marquis' mansion for generations. Most of the people behind him are like this. Their military pay is five to ten times that of ordinary soldiers. To become the chief soldiers, the first is of course loyalty, and the second is also required to be capable. These people eat well and have good military pay, so they work hard to train, which is different from most of the soldiers in the camp.

"The emperor is here, let the Marquis of Longping come out to welcome him." Tian Cheng said with a sharp voice.

"What?" Zhang Chao and his personal soldiers were also stunned. At this time, Wang Fu had lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at everyone with majestic eyes. Zhang Chao felt his throat dry. He looked at the guards riding horses and then looked at Wang Fu. He remembered the rumors since the emperor ascended the throne. Even though it was so incredible, Zhang Chao still believed it 80% of that. No one would foolishly pretend to be the emperor in the military camp, unless he was impatient.

However, Zhang Chao still did not let the door open. He said boldly: "The emperor said that the emperor was here, and he was ignorant. He had never received any news that the emperor was going to the military camp. I don't know what proof the emperor had." While speaking, he quietly gestured to signal someone to come inside and report to Zhang Gongri, the Marquis of Longping.

To prove that Tian Cheng did not expect that a small officer in front of him had such courage, so he had to pull off the waist card on his body and hand it over: "I see clearly, this is the waist card in the palace."

Zhang Chao took the waist card and looked at it. The remaining 20% ​​of the suspicion also disappeared. A look of struggle flashed across his face. Of course, he knew what Zhang Gongri was doing now. This kind of thing must not be seen by the emperor. However, after all, the imperial power has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years. If he wants him to stop the emperor, he will not dare to do so.

Putting the waist card respectfully into Tian Cheng's hand, Zhang Chao tried hard to squeeze out his smile and said, "This is indeed the waist card in the palace. It's just that the Holy Lord is of great importance. The villain is low and the official position is small, so he really can't make the decision. Please wait a moment and the marquis will come out immediately afterwards."

Tian Cheng looked at the little officer with his eyes slanted, and admired his courage. Tian Cheng was also a wise man. How could he not guess Zhang Chao’s thoughts? He was about to force Zhang Chao to get out of the way, but Wang Fu’s voice had already come: "Since that's the case, then I'll wait for Grand Marquis Zhang here."

Although he was extremely disappointed with the observation of the army, Wang Fu did not mean to break up with these meritorious children who controlled the Beijing camp, because it was very simple. He had no one at hand to take over the official positions of these people. If it was too stiff, dismissing these people would only shake the foundation of his rule. However, it would be inevitable to hit him.

Tian Cheng let out a heavy "hum." The sun was scorching, but he was blocked by a small officer outside the house. However, he did not dare to disobey the emperor's instructions, so he had to stare at Zhang Chao with hatred.

Zhang Chao lowered his head, and his sweat beads flowed down his face like beans. He kept praying in his heart that Longping Hou could come out quickly.

Fortunately, I didn't wait long. A middle-aged man in his forties and in disheveled clothes had already come out of the house. When he saw Wang Fu, he was shocked and knelt on the ground: "I didn't know that the sage's priest was here, and I was wronged and killed! Death crime!"

As soon as Zhang Gongri knelt down, Zhang Chao and other personal soldiers knelt down on the ground with a loud bang. It was almost noon, and the ground was shining hot on the sun. As soon as these people knelt down, a heat came from their knees. Many people even seemed to smell the burnt smell on their knees. The soldiers were fine. They usually trained under the scorching sun, but it was a pain for Zhang Gongri. He had always been pampering. When he knelt down, the expression on his face became brilliant.

It seemed as if the emperor had forgotten it. Zhang Gongri did not hear the emperor's will that he could calm his body for a long time, so he had to continue gritting his teeth and kneeling down.

When the emperor's order came, Zhang Gongri seemed to feel that several hours had passed. He almost staggered as soon as he got up. Fortunately, Zhang Chao quickly helped him, so Zhang Gongri did not fall.

"Zhang Aiqing, it seems that she is also a Fengliu person. But this is a military camp. Aiqing is a little ridiculous? Wipe off the rouge on your face."

As soon as Zhang Gongri shone, his face turned red. As soon as Wang Fu finished speaking, Zhang Gongri's face turned red a little more, and he said in a daze: "Wei Chen, Wei Chen..." He wiped his face with his sleeves a few times. Sure enough, there was a lot of rouge on his sleeves, and I don't know which brothel woman left on his face.

"Your Majesty, the weather is too hot, please go in and rest for the time being." Zhang Gongri said carefully, and he shouted in his heart. If he had known this, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed if he was not in the military camp today.

"No need, I'm not here to rest when I go to the military camp, but to review the three armies, pass on my orders, and gather the army with a drum."

"Check the three armies, now?" Zhang Gongri was stunned. Now it was just the time when the sun was rising. He was so weak that he would faint after the sun was sunning for a while. He saw the emperor's gloomy face and just caught him and summoned a prostitute in his camp. Zhang Gongri dared not refuse, so he had to send an order: "Hurry, the emperor wants to inspect the three armies, and beat the drum quickly."

"Yes." Several messengers hurried down.

Seeing the commander going down, Zhang Gongri wanted to invite the emperor to come in and rest again. Wang Fu made a move and issued a direct order: "Go to the schoolyard."

Just now, everyone passed by the schoolyard. The coachman could be said to be familiar with the road. With a sound of driving, he turned the carriage and headed towards the schoolyard. The other guards also turned the horse's head and quickly raised the dust all the way. Zhang Gongri had to grit his teeth and ordered: "Hurry up, lift my sedan chair out."

Back then, their ancestors were born and died and drove the Mongols to the desert. Unfortunately, their descendants enjoyed wealth and honor for hundreds of years, and many people fell to the point where they could not even ride horses.

"Dong, dong, dong." More than a dozen giant drums were beaten, and the majestic drum sounds spread throughout the military camp.

"What's up?"

"Who is beating the drum?"

"No matter who is beating the drum, betting, betting, buying will be leaving, and it will be opened soon."

"Cai Laosan, this is a gathering army with drums. The drum sounds stopped. Before the people arrived, they were going to be beheaded. Do you still have to place bets? Are you looking for death?"

"What, this is a gathering army, fast, fast, my weapon."

The entire military camp suddenly became boiling, and people who heard the drums walked out of the camp in panic. Many people couldn't help but curse, "What army should be gathered at this time?" However, in the face of military rules that may be beheaded, most people still dare not violate it and rushed towards the school ground under the scorching sun.
