"Canglong, please submit the invitation to the royal palace quickly!"
In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Gui Yunzheng followed completely formal procedures this time.
Canglong hurriedly took two steps forward and respectfully presented the greeting card.
A slightly more civilized sergeant took it and repeatedly checked the words on the cover. He was obviously a little confused about the sudden arrival of someone from Prince Fu's Mansion in Chang'an, and felt uncertain.
He looked up and down Gui Yunzheng and the others, and saw that although they had traveled a long way, their demeanor was different from ordinary people. He thought to himself: Such people are not common, and it is unknown whether they are really coming from the palace, but the matter is serious. You have to report it to the General's Mansion.
"Everyone, please wait a moment. Let us report back to the General's Mansion and then let him go. How about that?"
There is nothing wrong with responding this way.
Gui Yunzheng had no choice but to nod his head and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble Master Jun!"
So, the group of people waited outside the city gate, waiting for news from the General's Mansion.
"Do you have to be so serious?"
Elder Sun felt that it was making a fuss out of a molehill.
"Elder Sun, this just shows that General Anxi is running the army well! Let's do as the Romans do and wait patiently!"
Gui Yunzheng comforted him softly. Longyou is not like the Central Plains, where various forces are intertwined. Ma Yue has been able to control it for many years without incident. He is by no means an idle person.
Not long after, a group of people hurriedly arrived at the city gate. One person was in the lead. He was dressed in brocade fur and had a sword hanging on his waist. Looking from a distance, he saw an extraordinary momentum.
Everyone quickly stood up, while Gui Yunzheng was neither humble nor arrogant, smiling and standing tall.
"Who is General Gui, the governor of Chang'an!"
When the man in Jinqiu was waiting five feet away from Guiyun Zheng, he suddenly rolled off his saddle and dismounted. His strength and skill in riding were extraordinary.
"That's right!"
Gui Yunzheng praised in his heart, cupped his fists and saluted.
"Haha, the characters in Middle-earth are indeed different!"
Amidst the laughter, the man in Jinqiu actually stepped forward and took Gui Yunzheng's hand, taking a good look at it.
Gui Yunzheng also took this opportunity to see his appearance clearly. I saw that he was about forty years old. Although he was dressed in brocade and fur, his face had a weathered look, and his facial lines were even more angular, with a heroic aura coming to his face.
"May I ask, brother, how do you call me?"
Because the visitor did not give his family name, Gui Yunzheng was not sure whether he was a general from the General's Mansion or a son of General Anxi. I heard that General Anxi had three sons, all of whom were heroes.
"Haha, I was rash! In our humble land, the etiquette is not as good as that of the Central Plains. Please forgive me, the Governor! I am dismounting like a dragon, and on my father's orders, I am here to greet the Governor!"
It turns out that he is Ma Yue's eldest son. After receiving the invitation from the sergeant, Ma Yue repeatedly confirmed it before asking him to bring someone to greet him.
"Yunzheng, I have met the eldest young master!"
Only then did Gui Yunzheng salute solemnly.
If we count him from the time he became king, he is obviously a generation shorter than a horse, like a dragon, but based on his status as the governor of Chang'an, this is not the case. After all, Long Youming still obeyed Wang Hua on the surface and did not stand on his own. As the largest military leader in Chang'an City, Gui Yunzheng's position is completely consistent with General Anxi.
"Hey, don't do these false courtesy! We don't like the young master here. Brother, if you don't mind, just call me big brother!"
Obviously, Ma Rulong has a forthright temperament and doesn't care about these red tapes. Little did he know that by saying this, he actually elevated his own status.
But Gui Yunzheng didn't care at all. Instead, he liked the man in front of him even more.
"Okay, Brother Ma, please lead the way and take me to meet the general!"
Gui Yunzheng just got off the donkey along the slope, and in just one meeting, he had already won Ma Rulong's favor.
So, the group of people saluted Ma Rulong and quickly entered the city in an orderly manner.
