Chapter 27: I come to celebrate your birthday and ask my father to abdicate

Inside and outside the royal capital, there were lanterns and colorful decorations.

King Xu’s birthday is celebrated by everyone.

"Mother, there are so many red lanterns. Today is His Majesty's birthday. Mother, let's pray for His Majesty." A child said innocently.

But a woman next to him was silent for a while, and then said: "My child, don't pray for him, we have to pray for the soldiers on the front line."

"Why?"

"Because he doesn't deserve our prayers."

The woman said calmly.

An old man walked out of his house and looked at the red lanterns hanging all over the streets. He felt sad and said, "The soldiers on the front line fought for the country. Their bones were not cold yet. King Xu did not want to comfort him. Instead, he arrested the families of the soldiers. Now he is celebrating his death with lanterns and colorful decorations." Birthday, the misfortune of the country, the misfortune of the country!”

"Old guy, what are you talking about?"

A patrolling soldier gave a cold shout and said with fierce eyes.

The old man was not afraid, "Why, did you say something wrong? You soldiers, instead of going to the front line to fight, you arrested the families of the front line soldiers when the country was at stake. Now you still want to do something to me, a little boy?" I can’t do anything violent, are you worthy of being a soldier?”

"You old man, if you keep talking nonsense, be careful I catch you."

The soldier lost his temper and said with a livid face.

But his companion quickly stopped him and said, "Forget it."

"How can I forget it? I have to make this old man look good."

"Forget it, let's go."

The companion pulled him.

The people around them gradually gathered around, and everyone looked at them with resentment in their eyes. Some gritted their teeth and wanted to pounce on them.

The soldier also saw that something was wrong.

Swallowing.

Then he followed his companions and left in despair.

"Now that public dissatisfaction is boiling, it would be better to do less than to do more."

When no one was around, the soldier's companion sighed.

…………

Outside the royal capital.

The sound of horse hooves approached rapidly.

I saw figures approaching quickly in the wind and sand.

"General, this royal capital is decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Could it be that they are welcoming us back in triumph?" Linda said, looking at the royal capital in the distance.

This time, Xu Qianqiu only brought more than a thousand people back to the capital.

Linda is one of them.

"Oh, you are overthinking. The ceremony to welcome the victorious army is not like this. Moreover, look at the city gate, there is not a single minister. This is my father-in-law celebrating his birthday." Xu Qianqiu sneered.

He remembered.

Today is King Naxu’s birthday.

"What?"

Linda's expression changed and he turned extremely pale.

They returned in triumph.

No ministers, no military music, no guards of honor...

On the contrary, it was King Xu who was celebrating his birthday.

Ridiculous!

"Let's go into the city!"

Xu Qianqiu said calmly.

On the wall of the royal city, some soldiers noticed Xu Qianqiu and others coming from a distance, and the expression of the leading general suddenly changed.

"The eldest prince is back! Go and report to His Majesty."

Wait for Xu Qianqiu and others to slowly approach.

The general said quickly: "Eldest Prince, I have sent someone to inform Your Majesty. Please wait for a moment."

Xu Qianqiu ignored him and said, "Go to the city."

"First Prince, Your Majesty is celebrating your birthday. You are wearing armor and carrying a halberd. You entered the city fully armed, with a fierce fighting spirit. This is unreasonable."

The general continued.

"roll!"

Xu Qianqiu did not speak.

However, Linda next to him couldn't help but shouted loudly.

A murderous aura shocked the general and he took a few steps back with a pale face.

The soldiers at the city gate saw this and did not dare to stop him.

Xu Qianqiu and others could only be allowed to enter the city.

"Look, it's the First Prince's army!"

"The eldest prince is back."

"He is really the eldest prince!"

Some people discovered Xu Qianqiu and others and shouted loudly.

Suddenly.

News of Xu Qianqiu's triumph spread, and countless people flocked to the place.

"What a great prince."

"Look, those cavalrymen with scimitars on their waists beside the eldest prince, are they the legendary Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun?"

"Definitely. It is said that the eldest prince and his eighteen men once defeated seven cities in one day. These eighteen men are comparable to a million men."

"It smells so scary. When they look at me, I feel like I'm going to faint. They are worthy of being Yanyun's Eighteenth Cavalry."

Some children were frightened and cried when they saw the Shiba Qi next to Xu Qianqiu.

Xu Qianqiu noticed this scene and said helplessly: "I say, please restrain yourself and stop scaring the people."

"yes."

Yanyun's Eighteen Riders have been fighting outside all year round and have never restrained their murderous intent. After Xu Qianqiu's reminder, they restrained their murderous intent for the first time.

Linda looked on.

I feel that these eighteen demon gods are finally somewhat human-like now.

"The eldest prince has returned triumphantly!"

"It's right at the city gate, everyone, hurry up and go see it."

"What? Why wasn't there any news before?"

"No matter, go and have a look."

There were more and more people, but everyone took the initiative to retreat to both sides of the street, which did not affect Xu Qianqiu and others' entry into the royal capital.

When he left, the people saw him off.

When I returned, there were no emperor and ministers, no military music and honor guards...

Still only the common people lined the streets to greet them.

But this alone is enough to make Linda and others feel happy.

At least.

It’s not like no one remembers their achievements and sacrifices.

at this time.

An old man on crutches shakily walked out of the crowd and stood in front of Xu Qianqiu and others, blocking their way.

The old man threw away his crutches, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said loudly: "Today King Xu is unkind. The soldiers on the front line are fighting against demons. He arrests the families of the soldiers in the capital. The bones of the soldiers on the front line are not cold yet, but he only wants to have fun and celebrate his birthday." Banquet, I’m here to ask the eldest prince to do justice!”

"You are their general!!"

Hear what the old man said.

Linda and others clenched their fists and looked at Xu Qianqiu.

And Xu Qianqiu got off his horse, came to the old man, and slowly helped him up, "Now, a birthday banquet is being held in the palace. Old sir, would you like to represent the people of this city and come with me to ask for an explanation."

The old man's body trembled, then a look of determination appeared in his eyes, and he nodded slowly, "I am willing! I am going to see what kind of king can do such ridiculous and outrageous things."

"Okay, Linda, protect the old man and don't let him get hurt in the slightest, otherwise I'll take it from you." Xu Qianqiu said.

"Yes, General."

Linda said solemnly.

Inside the palace.

The ministers, concubines, and relatives of the emperor all drank and drank with each other, and it was a joyous occasion.

at this time.

A eunuch walked in quickly.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is back."

With one word, the original joyful mood disappeared in an instant, and everyone looked at King Xu with a solemn look in their eyes.

King Xu was startled at first, then smiled and said: "My Qianqiu is finally back. Hurry, go and call him. I will give him a good reward."

"No need, I'll come by myself."

An indifferent voice sounded.

boom!

Several soldiers flew upside down into the hall.

Everyone was shocked.

Then, Xu Qianqiu was seen walking into the hall wearing armor and holding a halberd. Behind him, Lin Da and other soldiers were all wearing military uniforms, and the atmosphere was filled with chilling.

"Brother! Today is my father's birthday, but you lead troops into the palace. What do you mean?! Do you want to rebel?!"

Xu Qianming asked loudly.

Xu Qianqiu ignored him and looked up at King Xu, his eyes as cold as ice, "My father is celebrating his birthday, and I, on behalf of all the soldiers on the front line, are here to celebrate my birthday... Please abdicate your throne!!"
