Chapter 365 Entering the Palace
"General!" Mo Qian and I clasped our fists and rushed to the crowd behind us. The general waved his hand, indicating that we don't need to be so polite.
"Brother, don't you want to go with us for the raid on Duanmu tomorrow?" The general also held a jar of wine in his hand, and he didn't forget to pour a sip into his mouth as he spoke. He completely lost his usual strong aura of being calm and self-confident.
.
I waved my hand quickly: "General, that's not what I meant."
This general must be looking for fun with me, I'm afraid the military advisor has already told him my identity.
"Okay, okay, come with me for a moment." The general burped generously, and then smiled. After that, he walked towards a big tent.
That tent belongs to the general and is the largest in the entire camp. Usually there are two soldiers guarding the door. Tonight, because of the celebration, the soldiers guarding the door also went to drink. There was no one in front of the tent at this time.
Before I even got close, I saw the military advisor pacing in front of the tent from a distance.
"Hi, strategist." I said hello to the strategist as I got closer, and handed over the jar of wine I carried. "Seeing as you haven't come over, I brought a jar to you."
Soldiers have been on the battlefield for a long time, and their favorite thing is spirits. This is an eternal inheritance.
But what this demon clan member likes to drink most is not the ordinary rice liquor, but a kind of Hericium wine made from fruit.
This wine is sweet when entering the mouth, slightly spicy when entering the throat, and leaves a long aftertaste in the stomach.
At Mo Qian's instigation, I tried it, but it didn't taste right, so I gave up. Before I came with the general, I thought that the military advisor might be there, so I brought a jar over.
"Haha, little brother, you are interested." The military advisor took the wine jar and held it in his arms.
The three of us walked into the tent together, and the general sat down casually. After he signaled to sit down, the military advisor and I sat down one after another.
"Thank you for that day, little brother." The general put down the wine jar and said this first.
I quickly bowed and clasped my fists: "General, you are still polite."
Immediately, the general laughed and praised: "Gao Changgong's name as the God of War is indeed well-deserved."
"General, I won't accept the reward." Although he didn't praise me outright, I could only accept it obediently.
Who told me now that I can only live in the shadow of Gao Changgong.
If I were not the reincarnation of Gao Changgong, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so many weird things happening.
For a moment, I thought so.
However, everyone has his or her destiny, and I have been destined for this fate since I was born. How can I resist?
The only thing I can do is probably to try my best to reverse the trajectory of my destiny and not deviate from the right track.
"Brother Duanmu, in fact, just last night, the signal soldiers had already returned to the palace to report and returned." The military advisor suddenly said, but his face was a little hesitant.
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the general several times.
The general seemed to know what he was worried about, so he paused, his face changed, and he shouted to me: "Are you really Gao Changgong? You didn't lie to us, did you?"
"..." I looked at the general: "Why did the general say this?"
The general and the military advisor looked at each other, feeling hesitant to speak, but they still said: "Although I don't know what your purpose is, I still advise you to impersonate Gao Changgong..." After that, the general made a move
He made a gesture of wiping his neck: "You are good at martial arts. If you join the camp for some reason, I can give you the position of deputy general."
ha?
I looked surprised. The strategist and the general were so entangled for half a year. Was it because they were worried that I was impersonating Gao Changgong?
Hehe, who has nothing to eat and is full of food, why pretend to be him? Besides, I am the real deal.
But the next second, I was slapped in the face by the general's words.
"In the past, there were many people who entered the palace under false pretense, and their fate was really unpleasant..." the general said. "As far as I know, Gao Changgong was reincarnated as a human being, just like a mortal. But you..."
When he said this, the military advisor also looked at me with a sad expression. "..."
After a long pause, I clasped my fists and replied: "Thank you for your trouble, General. I still can't do such a thing as pretending to be someone else."
The general looked at me and nodded silently. "Well, I hope so."
"Well, then take out that letter." The general waved his hand to the military advisor, who quickly took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to me.
I took it in confusion and saw a few big words on the envelope: Royal Confidential Letter.
"Take a look for yourself." The military advisor pointed at the envelope and said to me.
I opened the envelope without daring to stop, and took out a piece of yellowish letter paper. I briefly browsed the contents, and found that the contents were very simple, just a few sentences.
It was an understatement, and it meant nothing more than that. First, I wanted to welcome Gao Changgong back, and second, I apologized for mistaking me for a soldier.
After reading the letter, the military advisor told me that he had arranged a carriage for me and would take me to the palace.
When I thought about this good thing, I felt a little happy.
But when I saw the so-called carriage in the early morning of the next day, I felt bad all over.
This is not a carriage. Isn't it just a horse pulling a frame for carrying grain?
The military advisor also apologized with an embarrassed smile and said: "There is no better car in this battalion, so please make do with it." I immediately twitched the corner of my mouth and refused the military advisor's kindness.
Before departure, Mo Qian reluctantly said goodbye to me.
After rejecting the carriage, I chose to leave the horse behind, and then rode on the horse alone. Taking the letter that could prove my identity, I followed a signal soldier and ran towards the palace.
The horses were very fast, and we arrived outside Longgou City in just two days.
The signal soldier sent me here as soon as he saw me. After a short pause outside the city, he said hello and left.
Since I had been there once, I rode my horse straight to the palace.
I tied the horse to a tree outside the store and entered along a familiar route.
It was the same two soldiers who stopped me and asked me with strange expressions why I wanted to enter the palace.
I took out the letter that had been folded several times in my pocket. When they saw the stamp on it, they immediately nodded and let me go.
There was one person among them who enthusiastically led me the way to the study room in the side hall of the Dragon King in the palace.
I asked my servant to announce the situation at the door, and the soldier guarding the door asked me to wait for a while, then turned and left.
"Please come in." After a while, the servant came out. He pushed the door panel a little open and made a gesture of invitation, asking me to come in quickly.
I nodded politely to him, then gently opened the door and walked in.
When I entered, the door panel clicked shut behind me.
Chapter completed!
