Chapter 72 Eight Hundred Miles Expedited

"Eight hundred miles urgent."

Early in the morning, outside the gate of Luoyang City, a Shenwu guard rode a fast horse from the official road in the distance.

This Shenwuwei was covered in blood, his face was stained and his hair was shaggy, and his armor and stomach were in disrepair. At first glance, he looked like he had experienced a bloody battle before.

The Shenwu Guards were running toward Luoyang, waving their whips and shouting "Eight Hundred Miles Hurry".

When the guards on the top of the city heard the words "Eight Hundred Miles Urgent" and saw the Shenwu Guards rushing towards them from a distance, their expressions changed.

Shenwuwei?

"No, something happened."

"Quickly, open the side door and let the brothers of Shenwuwei go straight into the four gates and nine cities."

"Immediately send a team of troops to lead the way for the brothers of Shenwuwei."

The guards on the top of the city recognized the identity of the divine guard on horseback at a glance. Seeing the divine guard's appearance, they knew that something serious had happened.

Eight hundred miles expedited service can be enabled.

Obviously things are unusual.

A captain among the guards on the top of the city did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered the side door to be opened.

The side door is an emergency access passage and is generally not easily opened. It is only opened in emergencies like this "800-mile emergency".

In this way, we can avoid the situation where ordinary people block emergency messengers.

Moreover, the city gate captain also sent a team of troops to clear the way for the divine guard.

drive……

The side door is wide open.

The Shenwu Guards galloped in without slowing down at all, passing through the four gates and nine cities.

"Eight hundred miles urgent."

"Everyone get out of the way."

On the road leading to the palace, a group of soldiers on horseback shouted loudly.

When the people on the road heard this, they all quickly moved out of the way and stood aside.

Within a minute, the people saw a soldier covered in blood riding a horse and passing quickly in front of them, leaving only a piece of dust behind.

…

"Eight hundred miles urgent, what's the big deal?"

"Looking at the blood all over the messenger's body, it's definitely not an ordinary thing."

"Yes! Can it be an ordinary matter that can be expedited for eight hundred miles?"

"Alas, the general's rebellion happened recently in the court. Just now, Prince Xiaoyao's palace was raided again. This is another eight hundred miles emergency. It's really a troubled time!"

Seeing the Shenwu Guard who was covered in blood going away, the people were talking in low voices.

…

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo had just finished his morning court and returned to his mansion. Before he could take a sip of tea, he saw the butler walking in with a solemn look on his face.

"Sir, just now on the street, the city gate guards opened the way. There are eight hundred miles of urgent messengers entering the city and heading towards the palace." The housekeeper reported.

Eight hundred miles urgent?

When Prime Minister Yuan Bo heard this, his hand that had just picked up the tea cup couldn't help shaking, and his whole body froze.

After dozens of seconds, Prime Minister Yuan Bo put down the teacup in his hand and said with a twinkling eye, "It seems that news from the four northwest prefectures has reached Beijing."

"Immediately order everyone in the house to be more honest recently and not to cause any trouble."

"Immediately send someone to the residences of the Minister of Household Affairs, the Minister of Works, and the Minister of Punishment, and tell them that the truth has something to do with them."

Prime Minister Yuan Bo looked at the housekeeper and said cautiously.

If Prime Minister Yuan Bo guessed correctly, then the "Eight Hundred Miles Expedited" should be news from the four northwest prefectures.

There must be results in the four northwest prefectures.

Regardless of whether this result is good or bad, Prime Minister Yuan Bo knows that there will probably be another turmoil in the court next.

…

With a group of city gate guards opening the way, the Shenwu Guard arrived outside the palace unimpeded.

"Eight hundred miles urgent."

Following the shout of the Shenwu Guard, the face of the imperial army guarding the palace gate also changed, and he directly let the Shenwu Guard ride into the palace.

Moreover, there were several Imperial Guards who accompanied the Shenwu Guard straight to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.

…

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen was sitting on the dragon chair, feeling very good.

The hidden power of Xiaoyao King Zhou in Luoyang was swept away by Cao Zhengchun.

Although there are a few fish that slipped through the net, they can no longer make any big waves.

Without these secret powers, Xiaoyao Wang Zhou Qian would become a tiger without claws. If he wanted to wait for opportunities to eat people and cause trouble, he would not have such good teeth.

Just then, there was a commotion outside.

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows, raised his head and said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "What's going on?"

Cao Zhengchun, who was waiting next to him, also had a gloomy expression on his face and thought to himself, "I wonder if this is the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart? Who would be so bold as to make a noise outside the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart?"

Cao Zhengchun was about to go out and take a look.

However, before Cao Zhengchun could take a step, a voice of "Eight Hundred Miles Urgent" had already entered the Yangxin Hall.

Then, a Shenwu guard covered in blood ran into the Nourishing Heart Hall without any hindrance.

"emperor."

"Eight hundred miles urgent."

"The four northwest prefectures were all captured by the rebels."

"The 30,000 divine military guards led by the Grand Master were completely wiped out."

"The grand master died in battle in Xi'an Mansion."

"This is the letter."

Shenwuwei knelt on the ground, took out a letter from his arms and held it above his head.

What?

The land of the Four Prefectures in the Northwest fell?

The entire army of 30,000 divine warriors was wiped out?

The Grand Master died in battle?

Zhou Chen was stunned by these news, which made the entire Yangxin Hall audible.

"Can you say that again?"

Zhou Chen was stunned for a few seconds, then stood up and stared at the Shenwu Guard kneeling below.

These news were so shocking that Zhou Chen couldn't believe every one of them.

Thirty thousand Shenwuwei were the most elite troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could they quell the civil uprising and annihilate the entire army against a group of people who had just put down their farm tools and picked up weapons?

What kind of international joke is this?

There is also Grand Master Wen Zhong, who is at the peak of his strength as a Grand Master.

Throughout the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, he was already one of the top masters without even being able to step out of the sky.

Moreover, as a veteran of three dynasties and a pillar of respect for heaven in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Taishi led his troops in countless battles throughout his life and rarely suffered defeat.

How could a group of thugs who were quelling chaos in the four northwest prefectures die in battle?

Zhou Chen stared at the kneeling divine guard below, wanting the divine guard to say it again.

It's a pity that Shenwuwei didn't make a sound again, he just held the letter and knelt quietly.

Cao Zhengchun, who was standing next to him, looked at it, his eyes flickered, and his figure disappeared instantly, appearing next to the Shenwu guard who was kneeling on the ground.

Cao Zhengchun stretched out his hand to explore and sighed inwardly.

Cao Zhengchun shook his head at Zhou Chen who stood up; "Your Majesty, the person is dead."

"He has been seriously injured a long time ago and has run out of gas. The fact that he can return to Luoyang to report to the palace is only supported by his will."

Cao Zhengchun said with some regret.

Such a divine warrior is worthy of admiration.

"died?"

Zhou Chen looked at the Shenwu Guard who was kneeling down and covered in blood, still holding the letter high, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Bring the letter."

"Let someone give him a good burial first!"

Zhou Chen said with a slightly changed expression.
