Chapter 243

Meanwhile.

Outside Changan.

On a wide official road, it leads straight to Changan, an ancient city that has stood on the Central Plains for hundreds of years.

On both sides of the official road, in the jungle, there is a group of bandits. The leader, a scarred face, holds a large saber, eyeing the official road.

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

"Big Brother, someone is coming from not far away, riding a horse, running wildly!"

The scarred face's eyes lit up, gripping the large saber in his hand, becoming excited, "Brothers, follow me down."

"Since this person can come on horseback, they must not be simple. Rob them. Even if they don't have much silver on them, just a horse is worth a lot of money!"

The bandits were excited and went onto the official road from both sides.

The scarred face revealed a ferocious face and shouted forward, "This tree was planted by me, this road was opened by me. If you want to pass from here, leave your road money."

"Stop for your grandfather immediately."

But the next second, when the horseman in sight got closer and closer, the scarred face's pupils suddenly shrank.

A soldier wearing battle armor, stained with blood, was charging. The blood on his body was stuck to the armor, his body swaying, and he shouted with all his might, "Eight-hundred-mile urgent military intelligence, those who block me die!"

The scarred face instantly felt like he was facing a great enemy, and even his anus suddenly tightened, directly blocking the brothers behind him.

"Damn it!"

"Move aside quickly!"

"Everyone move aside!"

They instantly gave way to a wide road, and the soldier charged all the way, heading straight for Changancheng.

A strong man holding a large saber asked in confusion, "Big Brother, this person is only one person, we have more than a dozen brothers, wouldn't it be easy to kill him?"

"As long as it's done cleanly, there will be no evidence afterward. Even if the government wants to investigate, they will be powerless."

The scarred face looked at the strong man and the other equally confused bandits, his face carrying a hint of disdain, "Evidence?"

"You are called 'Big Smart,' and you really live up to that nickname."

"Only investigations need evidence; suppressing rebellions only needs to define the scope!"

"Eight-hundred-mile urgent military intelligence, rob him, and you won't have enough heads to be cut off! I fear our Black Wind Stronghold will be shaken to pieces, and the earthworms will be cut in half!"

"Hiss!"

Upon hearing this, the bandits instantly felt their scalps tingle, a wave of lingering fear.

The scarred face looked at the soldier running wildly toward Changan, his face dark and uncertain, "Eight-hundred-mile urgent, this must be urgent military intelligence. Quickly change into other clothes and enter Changancheng to see what the situation is."

The scarred face made a decision almost instantly.

Meanwhile.

Accompanied by the fastest running, the majestic Changancheng finally appeared in the soldier's sight.

At the city gate, there was also a group of commoners entering Changancheng.

A wave of excitement filled the soldier's eyes, then he held up a token and roared.

"By the Empress's imperial decree!"

"Eight-hundred-mile urgent!"

"Move aside quickly!"

"Urgent military intelligence!"

Almost the moment the voice sounded, the city guards were horrified. They hurriedly moved aside, dispersed the commoners, and gave way to a road.

The soldier held the token high, entered Changan straight from the city gate, entered Zhu Que Street, and then followed Zhu Que Street all the way to the Imperial Palace.

The highest watchtower in Changan, after noticing this scene, quickly waved flags to transmit the message to the Imperial Palace with flags.

Immediately, a eunuch walked quickly toward the Imperial Study.

"Move aside quickly!"

"Eight-hundred-mile urgent!"

Accompanied by the soldier's roar, the commoners of Changan avoided him one after another, and this soldier was unimpeded all the way.

"Open the palace gate!"

As the soldier galloped all the way, the palace guards were also facing a great enemy and quickly opened the palace gate.

The nine gates of the Imperial Palace were opened one after another, and as the soldier entered, they were closed again.

The soldier rushed toward the Imperial Study like this.

When approaching the Imperial Study, because there were steps, the soldier reined in his horse and stepped forward, pushing open the door of the Imperial Study with his already exhausted body.

Inside the Imperial Study.

Wu Zhao and a group of ministers were originally discussing the details of the layout to trap and kill Jianghu people and make them kill each other.

As a result, they received the news.

Wu Zhao's face suddenly darkened, and a bad premonition flashed in her heart.

Shangguan Wan'er, Qin Zhenguo, Lu Zhen, and others all looked at Gao Yang, their hearts terrified.

Gao Yang also frowned.

This day came a bit too fast.

For a time, the entire Imperial Study was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Soon, the soldier pushed open the door of the Imperial Study and knelt directly before Wu Zhao.

"Your Majesty, urgent military intelligence!"

"In our Great Qian's Yangzhuang area, a small group of Chu Kingdom vanguard troops has appeared, and I fear a large army will attack later!"

Once these words were spoken.

Boom!

The large Imperial Study was suddenly plunged into endless shock.

Lu Zhen's expression changed, his eyes filled with endless horror, and he immediately said loudly, "Absolutely impossible!"

"Yangzhuang is only two hundred miles away from Changan. For the Chu army to reach Yangzhuang, unless Longguan has fallen!"

"But Longguan has high walls and thick gates, and Xue Yi is guarding it with ten thousand Heavenly Art troops. Even if an army of one hundred thousand attacks, it is difficult to break through."

"Do you know the consequences of transmitting false military intelligence?"

Lu Zhen looked majestic, his face filled with endless killing intent.

The soldier was anxious, his face covered in blood, "Grand General, this subordinate is also puzzled, but this military intelligence is absolutely true!"

"If it weren't for this subordinate running fast, I would have already become a ghost under the Chu army's saber!"

"This subordinate can die however, but military intelligence is like fire. I beg the Grand General and Your Majesty to make a decision quickly."

For a time, the entire Imperial Study was silent.

The ministers' faces were ugly. They originally thought the eight-hundred-mile urgent military intelligence was about war at the border.

But this was not enough to make them lose their composure. After all, border wars have existed since ancient times, and the two countries fight using their own means.

But the appearance of Chu troops in the Yangzhuang area was terrifying.

Two hundred miles away, if the Chu army is fast enough, in a few days, the Chu army will point their swords at Changan and be at the city gates!

Wu Zhao clenched her fists.
