"How presumptuous! You can see clearly with your wide eyes, the person behind me is the prince!"
But facing the angry Qin Wei, the soldiers were a little embarrassed.
"General, I am also following orders. The general said that without the emperor's warrant, no one will be allowed to enter this pass."
Let Qin Wei really say it, this Gan Yuzhou is really very peaceful.
But Liu Qi was not angry at all. It was definitely a good thing for Daqing to have such a general guarding the pass.
But it just brought some trouble to myself.
At this time, Liu Qi dismounted and walked slowly towards the soldier.
"Go and tell Gan Yuzhou that I asked the troops to retreat three miles and only take ten people into the pass, okay?"
The soldier thought for a moment.
"As you command!"
Sure enough, after Bai Qi led his troops and retreated a long distance away, the gate of the pass opened again. This time, a man wearing a general's armor, riding a tall horse, came out with his troops.
After seeing the prince's badge, Gan Yuzhou dismounted without hesitation and knelt on the ground. The soldiers behind him followed suit.
"The last general, Gan Yuzhou, is here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! I have military orders, so I have to obey them. Please forgive me for your sins."
"General Gan, can you let me enter the gate now?"
"Of course... of course, Your Highness please!"
Gan Yuzhou was different from other generals Liu Qi had seen.
She is fair and clean, and looks more like a scholar. In addition, due to her short stature, her appearance gives people a very weak feeling.
But he had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, which added a bit of heroism to his face.
Although his personality was a bit off, his attitude was extremely humble. He was always polite in front of Liu Qi all the way to Guan Nei.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry for your rudeness. I don't know that you brought a large army to this pass, but what is the emperor's purpose?"
Liu Qi nodded.
"Your Majesty indeed has a decree. He ordered me to lead the army to attack the Xiongnu, to demonstrate the majesty of our Daqing army, and to avenge Pingzhuang's invasion."
Gan Yuzhou was stunned for a moment. I can't help but think in my heart.
It is said that the Prince of Daqing is a mediocre and incompetent person who indulges in fancy toys all day long and does not know the political affairs of the country.
What now? The prince actually said that he wanted to lead troops to attack the Huns, which made him not only surprised but also a little suspicious.
Then he stood up and bowed.
"His Royal Highness personally led the army to conquer the Xiongnu. I am truly impressed by this."
"However, I am here and have not received the emperor's edict. I wonder if your highness the prince has a handwritten document from the emperor? As soon as I see it, I will release the prince's army immediately."
However, the prince's answer shocked Gan Yuzhou.
"I have no documents from the Emperor."
"Then...your highness, does he have an edict from the emperor?"
Liu Qi shook his head.
"No."
Gan Yuzhou looked at Liu Qi doubtfully, and his suspicions became even greater.
If any army wants to pass the border, it must have a document or an order from the emperor.
Especially for this place, Jiapingguan, for many years, even if there was a war, it was impossible to get out. It can even be said that this is a deadlock, only set up to defend against the Huns from attacking from the side.
Even if Wood wants to pass through here, he must have an edict from the emperor.
From this moment on, Gan Yuzhou's expression changed slightly.
"Your Highness, the general is strange. Since you said you were leading the army to attack the Xiongnu, why didn't you leave from Beiping Pass and instead come to the Jiaping Pass where the general is?"
"Don't His Highness know that Jiapingguan is absolutely not allowed to be released at will?"
Listening to Gan Yuzhou's somewhat unkind tone, Liu Qi chuckled.
"To tell you the truth, I escaped from Beiping with a large army!"
Who can believe this? Gan Yuzhou is still smiling.
"Your Highness, please stop making fun of your official position."
Liu Qi's face suddenly became serious, and he spoke calmly while drinking tea.
"I have no intention of coming here to make a joke. If you don't believe me, you can go back to Pingcheng and find out where I came from."
Seeing the serious look on the prince's face, Gan Yuzhou was so shocked that his hair stood up in an instant.
But what he didn't understand was that, not to mention whether the prince escaped or not, he was certain that he did not come to this place openly.
As a member of the royal family, it is impossible for him not to understand what kind of place Jiapingguan is.
"Your Highness, why don't you come to me?"
Listening to Gan Yuzhou's tone, it sounded like a test. And the movement of his hind legs is more like a warning.
In fact, let alone Gan Yuzhou, even Qin Wei and the others trembled when they heard what the prince said.
Who would have thought that the prince would show his cards directly to Gan Yuzhou without any concealment.
He is an upright man.
If it is confirmed that the prince came here in defiance of the order, it is very possible that he would be detained here, not to mention passing through Jiaping.
At this time, Qin Wei was even anxious and had already begun to think about how to protect the prince and leave this Jiaping Pass.
But the prince looked around, and after seeing everyone's expressions, he suddenly smiled and put down the teacup in his hand.
"Gan Yuzhou, if I want to tell you that I want to lead an army out of your place, are you willing to make it easier?"
Without even thinking about it.
"Your Highness, I don't know whether what you said is true or false."
"But again, without the emperor's edict and documents, no one is allowed to pass through Jiaping Pass!!"
But when Liu Qi heard Gan Yuzhou's words, not only was he not angry, there was no change in his expression at all.
"good very good!!"
"Master Gan is indeed a straight minister. Daqing is lucky to have a general like you guarding the border."
"However, if I insist on showing you this secret, what will you do?"
Gan Yuzhou first bowed and saluted the prince politely.
Then he looked grim and spoke in a low tone.
"Your Highness, then don't blame the general for being presumptuous!"
"With me here, unless His Highness steps over Gan's body, it is impossible for him to step out of this pass."
At this point, the atmosphere became a little tense. There was silence in the lobby.
suddenly.
The prince stood up, took out the sword in his hand, and without hesitation, put it directly on Gan Yuzhou's neck.
"Okay, then I will kill you first!"
Everyone was stunned for a while.
No matter what, Gan Yuzhou was just doing his job, no matter what he did, he would not be punished to death!
Swish, swish, swish!
When Gan Yuzhou's soldiers saw this, they drew out their swords one after another. Qin Wei and others also drew their swords from their waists. The atmosphere reached a freezing point for a while!
But Gan Yuzhou waved his hands towards the soldiers behind him, and laughed loudly in front of the prince's sword.
"Hahaha, Your Highness, do you think you can leave Jiaping Pass as long as you kill the last general?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you, even if Gan dies, as long as there is one person left in Jiaping Pass, he will definitely guard it to the end!!"
