Chapter 2169 Granting Officers and Ranks

Damn, you are so stubborn.

The deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army was furious, pointed at Lu Bai and cursed: "You are seeking death!"

After saying this, he drew his bow and arrow again and aimed at Lu Bai's head.

Whoosh!

The sharp arrow flew past Lu Bai's head and cut a long gash in his scalp. Blood flowed out and dyed his face red. It looked very scary.

To be honest, Lu Bai was also scared to stop... He is a human being, and everyone is afraid of death.

But after a pause, he continued to move forward, shouting: "Lu Bai, a scholar from Yujiang County, Jianghuai River Anfu, sued the Wucheng Army and Horse Department for abusing his power. Please make the decision for me from the Sixth Department of the Imperial City!"

After shouting, he moved a few steps forward.

Behind him, Yao Youqian and the others also took a few steps forward, always keeping the initial distance from him, neither getting too close nor too far away from him.

"Lu Xiucai, you are a man, we admire you!" These words suddenly rang out in the crowd at the back. It was Chen Xiaoba who came with a group of brothers to support Lu Bai.

He was also imprisoned by the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division for several days and was tortured. On the same day that Lu Bai was released, he was also released home.

I originally thought that Lu Bai would suffer a hidden loss and return to his hometown silently, but he didn't expect that Lu Bai, a man like him, would not accept his fate and continue to come to the imperial city to complain.

After Chen Xiaoba heard the news that Lu Bai had once again knocked on the imperial city gate to avenge him, he couldn't help it anymore and immediately called for his close friends to come over to help Lu Bai.

They said they were helping, but in fact they couldn't help much. They could only shout a few words of support for Lu Bai to let him know that he was not going to die alone.

Lu Bai was very grateful, and saluted towards them, and continued to move forward, shouting: "Lu Bai, a scholar from Yujiang County, Anfu, Jianghuai River, sued the Wucheng Military and Horse Department for abusing his power, and asked the Sixth Department of the Imperial City to The adults will make the decision for me!"

Damn it, it’s this sentence again, you can’t change it, the imperial guards are tired of hearing it.

"Deputy Commander, what should we do?" the imperial guard next to him asked.

After hearing this, Deputy Commander Shen frowned, looked at Lu Bai for a moment, made a gesture, and the two forest guards beside him galloped towards the imperial city.

Master Zhong said that as long as Lu Bai has suffered three arrows of life and death and does not give up, he will be qualified to face the saint. Now that he has received three arrows, he can be sent back to report.

Then he said: "Array up!"

There was a roar, and the imperial guards used iron shields to build an iron shield wall to stop Lu Bai.

Lu Bai moved to the iron shield wall, unable to move forward or back. He knelt on the spot, holding up the paper and waiting... He was not a fool. He knew that the people from the Royal Forest Army were returning to the imperial city to ask what should be done to him?

Should he kill to scare the people, or should he accept the petition and let him get his wish?

And since someone went back to ask, he would wait honestly.

The people in the capital who came to watch the excitement were also waiting. For a moment, there was a strange silence in front of the imperial city gate.

It took half a day to wait, from morning to afternoon, until Lu Bai's blood had solidified.

His face was already pale, and there was a streak of black and blue on his face because of the cold. When he saw that he could no longer hold on any longer, there was a sound of horse hooves, and the imperial guard on the horse shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, Xuan Lu Baijin." Palace Face Saint!”

The imperial guard who shouted was so angry that his voice spread all around. After hearing it, the people present were stunned for a moment and shouted: "We win, Lu Xiucai wins, your majesty will personally avenge him!"

Everyone was very happy, and many people cried... It was not easy. Lu Xiucai finally knocked open the imperial city gate with his own life.

The deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army was also very happy. He had always looked down on the literati, thinking that they were all bastards who stood up and talked without hurting their backs. But Lu Bai was admirable, because he would give free storytellers to everyone, and what he said was still about the soldiers. The fight against the enemy in the northwest can be regarded as a help to their warriors.

Next comes the matter of knocking on the Imperial City Gate twice. It is rare for a young scholar to have such courage.

However, the people present shouted too loudly, and he had to shout: "No noise is allowed. Violators will be executed!"

The people who were watching the excitement quickly shut up after hearing this.

More than a quarter of an hour later, Ming Cong came out with a group of adults and said to Lu Bai: "His Majesty has spoken and announced that you will enter the palace to meet the saint."

Lu Bai could hold on until this moment and reached his limit. When he saw the adults in the imperial city coming out and heard the oral instructions with his own ears, he could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.

Ming Cong frowned and sneered in his heart... Zhong Huan worked hard to train this person out. If this person dies from his injuries like this, I wonder if Zhong Huan will collapse?

For a moment, Ming Cong wanted Lu Bai to die.

However, he still said behind him: "Doctor, save him. The person your Majesty wants to see cannot be allowed to die."

He came over again and said to Yao Youqian and the others: "His Majesty decreed that you should enter the palace."

After saying that, he continued walking and came to the people watching the excitement. He raised a smile and said: "Everyone, Your Majesty has received the petition and wants to avenge Lu Xiucai. There will be a conclusion on this matter. It's getting late. Go back quickly." Well, don’t stay here any longer, otherwise you will be punished.”

Ming Cong was handsome and noble, and he spoke so kindly. The people present were surprised and delighted, and they hurriedly said: "This lord is right, let's leave now."

After hearing this, Ming Cong smiled and nodded: "Yes."

When the guys saw this, they thought he was even better. They praised him one after another and asked him his name.

The junior official next to him replied: "This is Master Ming Congming."

"It turns out to be Lord Ming!"

There have been rumors in the capital that the Lord is vicious and is the reincarnation of the King of Hell. It is simply a rumor!

Look at Mr. Ming, how friendly he is. Such a high-ranking official, who is good-looking when he grows up, actually comes to talk to these homeless people in the market.

I have to say that Ming Cong is very good at winning people's hearts. He just came over and said something with a smile and a "hmm", and everyone thought he was better.

After a while, Ming Cong turned around and left, taking Yao Youqian and others with him to the imperial city.

The imperial city is very large, with six parts, including the outer palace, the inner palace, and a cold palace.

It was the first time for Qu Xiucai's uncle and nephew, Xu Zhaoming, Liang Jiang and others to enter the imperial city. They were shocked by the majestic majesty of the imperial city and their legs became weak.

Seeing that they were nervous, the officials from the Ministry of Rites said, "There is no need to be nervous. Please wait here with the Ministry of Rites. When word comes from the palace, officials and palace officials from the Ministry of Rites will take you into the palace to meet His Majesty."

"Eh, eh, eh." Qu Xiucai had a lot to say, but his tongue seemed to be tied up at the moment, and he could only respond, but could not say any other unnecessary words.

The imperial doctor was still treating Lu Bai.

He was already injured, and today he was shot with three arrows and had to kneel for most of the day. His condition was not good.

However, the imperial doctor was very good. After struggling for an hour, he finally revived Lu Bai.

"I'm finally awake." The chief eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and told the palace people: "Come on, take Lu Xiucai to see your majesty. Don't keep your majesty waiting."

"Yes." The palace officials responded, lifted up Lu Bai, and walked towards the main hall where Emperor Jingyuan reviewed the memorials.

Lu Bai just woke up and was still a little groggy. The imperial doctor was afraid that he would faint again, so he quickly took out a bottle of smelly medicine and gave it to him to smell.

After just a few mouthfuls, Lu Bai was completely awakened by the stench, and a few quarters of an hour later, he was finally carried outside the hall.

And Gu Jinan was already waiting for him outside the hall.
