Chapter 631 The Busy Waiting in the City

When the sky was dark, the entire capital city was already extremely noisy, and countless people flocked to the south gate.

Cheng Guogong and others will enter Beijing from here, pass through the city to Yujie, and then accept the emperor's summons in front of the imperial city.

The restaurants and teahouses on this street were fully booked half a month ago, and those who couldn't and couldn't book high places would come to occupy the seats on the street before dawn.

Crowded with people from the inside of the city to the outside of the city, the natural city gate and imperial street with the largest crowds, because there will be a prince to greet him personally, and the emperor will summon him here.

Apart from here, other places were also crowded with people. Looking from the highest point of the city gate, the crowd almost lined up to the barracks in the suburbs of Beijing.

In order to maintain order, the soldiers and horses of the five cities, including the imperial army, dispatched thousands of people, but the crowd was so large, and these soldiers and imperial guards were not Jinyiwei.

"It's really lively like never before." A man in a brocade robe standing in the highest room of the restaurant near the city gate exclaimed, "Duke Cheng is really famous and admirable."

"However, for these people, they are actually even more curious." Someone said with a faint smile, "I can't talk about admiration or anything."

"That's right, this is the capital city, not the Northland." Someone else sneered, "If he thinks he can be like the Northland, he will be disappointed."

The man in the brocade robe smiled.

"Is everything ready?" he asked over his shoulder.

Several men nodded.

"Nothing will go wrong." One of them said, pointing forward, "Everyone is arranged ten miles outside the city."

"When Cheng Guogong is unable to come, the news will come. Everyone knows the reason, so that the princes and relatives here will not be disturbed." Another man said with a smile.

Some people can be messed with and some people can't be messed with. As merchants, they know this truth very well.

The man in the embroidered robe nodded, and looked back to the distance outside the city gate with a satisfied expression.

"I hope Duke Cheng likes this surprise." He laughed.

…………………………………………….

When the phalanx walked out of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, the crowd waiting here immediately made noise.

These soldiers and horses are completely different from the Forbidden Army you see every day. Although their armor is not gorgeous and their stature is not taller than the Forbidden Army, it is the old and thin that adds to the iron-blooded aura and Needless to say, the swords, guns, swords, crossbows, and shields they were equipped with weighed down the horse's pace a bit.

But in the face of the sudden waves of cheers, the soldiers and horses in the army remained motionless, as if they had nothing to see and ears to hear.

The visual impact of me standing still in the wind and waves made the spectators even more excited.

Several imperial guards galloped on horseback.

"Your Majesty has already left the bedroom."

"The princes have already left the palace gate."

When to leave the camp, when to go to which location, and when to meet, those are all auspicious times that Qin Tianjian is optimistic about, and you can't just leave at will.

Hearing the report from here, the officials waiting here immediately signaled Cheng Guogong.

"My lord, you can go." They said.

Cheng Guogong signaled to his subordinates, the horns and drums sounded immediately, and the army moved in unison.

The heavy and passionate drumming of the humming horn, and the vibration of the iron hoofs hitting the ground made the hairs of the people watching on both sides stand on end. After a while of silence, there was even greater cheering.

"Isn't it the same army formation during the war?"

"It was really shocking."

"No wonder the gold people who can be frightened dare not violate it."

"Aren't you stupid? The Jin people also have an army formation, and they fight like this on the battlefield."

Accompanied by the sound of discussion, the army marched forward, and the noise spread like waves.

Hearing the noise from a distance, the crowd waiting here was also in a commotion.

"coming."

"coming."

"Don't squeeze!"

"Stand back!"

The shouts and reprimands were mixed with the cries of the crowded children, and the whole road was extremely noisy. The soldiers, guards, and guards had to beat the crowd with sticks and whips to stabilize the crowd.

There are quite a few people in this area with strange expressions, seeming heavy, excited, nervous and faintly excited.

"coming."

"get ready."

"Don't move yet."

"Awaiting orders."

A low voice was transmitted among the crowd, and many people began to gather in one direction. At this moment, only a clatter was heard.

"De Shengchang offered a reward."

Shouts sounded at the same time.

De Shengchang?

tip?

Reward what?

The people present were stunned for a moment, looking for the sound, they were suddenly stunned.

But I saw a few people suddenly appearing on both sides of the road, carrying a dustpan in their hands. At this time, they were dumping the dustpan aside, and a lot of money was scattered like rain.

This clatter is the sound of money falling to the ground.

The crowd froze for a while, and then there was a bang, and countless people rushed towards the money on the ground.

The group of people who had just gathered together were suddenly thrown into chaos by the shock, and many of them also ran towards the spilled money.

"do not go!"

"Don't go!"

"Come back!"

Anxious shouts rang out, but in the face of money, especially when many people are fighting for it, reason does not exist, and it seems to be instinct to move accordingly.

Looking at the crowd that dispersed chaotically in an instant, the leading few men stared angrily and gritted their teeth.

"These shallow-sighted things." They cursed in a low voice, but they were helpless. After all, if it weren't for the shallow-sighted things, they wouldn't be gathered by their money.

So he looked up at those who threw money, with a look of resentment.

De Shengchang!

Do you really have money and no place to spend it? Follow along to join in the fun, what a mess!

Are you not afraid of causing riots by throwing money at this time? Soldiers, disperse them quickly, arrest them and punish them!

But De Shengchang was very skillful in throwing money, one was to go deeper on both sides of the road, and there were still guys maintaining order to prevent people from being squeezed and trampled.

The crowd was diverted away, and the congestion on the road was reduced, so the soldiers who were so busy and out of breath were relieved, and did not drive away De Shengchang's people.

This made the people here jump even more angrily.

"coming!"

One of them shouted in a panicked voice, pointing forward.

The army of soldiers and horses on the road rolled down like a mountain, and cheers arose wherever they went.

Can't wait! The leading man gritted his teeth.

"Don't worry about those who steal money, how many people count, we can't wait anymore, we won't be able to rush through when this army formation approaches." He whispered.

The people around looked at the approaching army, and they were also shocked. This momentum was simply too scary.

They even felt that if they rushed out to block the way, these soldiers and horses would just turn a blind eye and roll over them.

"No, this is the capital city, this is the foot of the emperor, and we are not gold thieves." The leading man said, "Being under the watchful eyes of all people, Duke Cheng would never dare."

This reason is also true, the people around fade away in panic.

"Quickly, block the way."

"Take out the banner."

Accompanied by a commotion, the gathered crowd rushed towards the middle of the road,

The soldiers who were about to breathe a sigh of relief were caught off guard for a moment, staggered by the impact, and watched helplessly as more than a hundred people ran to the middle of the road.

What happened? The people around also came back to look at it, with surprised expressions.

The soldiers frowned.

Make trouble!

"Quick, beat him away!"

But it was too late, Cheng Guogong's army had already arrived in front of him.

Seeing the people blocking the road suddenly appearing on the main road here, the solemn expressions of the soldiers at the forefront showed surprise and a little bewilderment.

"stop."

The flag waved to convey the order, the horseshoe fell heavily, and the marching army stood still in place for an instant.

This simultaneous movement brought even greater shock, and the surrounding noise stopped.

Even the soldiers on duty who were about to rush out to drive these people away subconsciously stopped and looked at them with a bit of awe.

There's an eerie silence here.

The man standing in the middle of the road sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, it was forced to stop.

Although there were a lot fewer people, the movements were a lot flustered, and the solemnity was not as expected, but at least it was done.

He knelt down with a plop, and as he knelt down, other people in the road also knelt down, and seven or eight banners were lifted up.

"Grandpa, give me and my little people a way to survive."

Qi Qi shouted at the same time.

Looking at this scene, many soldiers in the army could not help but stare wide-eyed, with expressions of surprise and confusion.

Is this what happened on the stage when you met the master Qingtian and called for grievances?

Are they going to ask the Duke for help and redress their grievances?
