Thinking of this, he couldn't wait any longer. He said impatiently, "We can't rest anymore. We have to go to Sheng Zhou immediately and save them."
With that, he prepared to whip his horse and gallop in the direction of Sheng Zhou. Unexpectedly, Yuchi Gong pulled him back.
"Big Old Black, what the hell are you doing? Lao Tzu is going to save Tie Niu. "
Cheng Yaojin turned to look at Yuchi Gong, the veins on his forehead bulging.
"This matter must be reported to His Majesty. After all, His Majesty has given a decree before."
Yuchi Gong didn't get angry. Instead, he spoke unhurriedly because he knew how Old Cheng felt. His son was missing. Now that he had finally received some news, how could he not be anxious? However, he couldn't be impulsive at this time.
Cheng Yaojin panted heavily, trying to suppress the anger in his heart. However, on second thought, Big Old Black was right. This was His Majesty's decree. Now that he had received the news, he had to report it. After a pause, he said, "Alright then. Quickly send someone back to the palace to report to His Majesty. Don't waste Lao Tzu's time."
Yuchi Gong nodded. He glanced at the guard leading the horse and said, "Le Tian, give me the reins. Then, pick a horse from behind. Take my token and enter the palace to meet His Majesty. Tell His Majesty everything that has happened here without leaving out a single word."
After he finished speaking, he took out a military order from his waist and tossed it to Le Tian. This military order was a symbol of status. As long as one had this military order, they could enter the palace at will and would not be stopped. It was the most suitable thing for a messenger.
"Yes, General."
Le Tian cupped his hands and handed the reins to Yuchi Gong. Then, he turned and walked away.
Seeing that everything had been settled, Cheng Yaojin hurriedly said, "Can we go now?"
He was already very anxious. He knew that if he went a moment later, his son would be in more danger. He didn't dare to take such a risk.
"Let's go."
Yuchi Gong nodded. He waved the horsewhip in his hand and galloped forward.
Cheng Yaojin also hurriedly followed, galloping in the mountain road.
At the side, Le Tian also obtained a horse. He immediately turned it around and galloped in the direction of Chang 'an. He was only a guard, so he did not know much about these matters. However, he could tell the severity of the situation from the general's expression. Therefore, he did not dare to be negligent. With a wave of his whip, he left in a cloud of dust.
In less than a moment, he arrived at Chang 'an City. As soon as he entered the city, waves of wailing could be heard incessantly. It was as ear-piercing as the screams of vengeful spirits in hell.
Soon, the tragic scenes of Chang 'an City appeared in front of his eyes. People covered in blood were sitting everywhere on the streets. There were women, children, and even old people. They sat on the steps and kept murmuring something. When he got closer to listen, he found that they were all about vengeful spirits, evil spirits, and so on.
There were also many soldiers patrolling the streets. They carried stretchers and carried the injured to the side. The doctors saw this and immediately went forward to treat them.
Although Le Tian sympathized with all this, he knew that he had a more important mission. He chose to turn a blind eye to it and ran toward the city gate.
The gate of Chang 'an City was not very far away. Le Tian arrived in a few breaths. However, at this time, the gate of Chang' an City was closed. The gate was full of guards, each of them holding a spear and looking serious.
"Guards of Chang 'an, open the gate immediately. I have important military information to report to the Emperor."
Le Tian took out the token at his waist and shouted with his head held high. With his status, he would definitely not be able to persuade these guards. The most effective way was to take out the token. This was the direct reason why the general gave him the token.
When the guards saw the token in Le Tian's hand, their expressions changed drastically. They thought that some great general had come. They bowed together and said, "General, please."
After that, the leader of the guards gave the crowd at the gate a look. The latter immediately understood and opened the gate. Seeing this, Le Tian spurred his horse and left.
After galloping all the way, Le Tian finally arrived at the gate of the palace. With the experience at the gate of Chang 'an City, he took the initiative to take out the token. The guard hesitated for a moment but still chose to let him in. This was because people who could hold such a token usually had important information. They did not dare to stop him privately.
There were no obstructions at the gate. Le Tian was led to the imperial study by the guard.
At this time, two strong men were standing at the gate of the imperial study. They were Li Shimin's personal eunuchs. Little Guizi was serving Li Shimin inside, so they needed to serve him outside.
"Strong men, I have urgent military information to report to His Majesty. Can you let me in?"
Le Tian bowed and smiled at the two strong men. In the palace, he had to be careful. Who knew what kind of people were in front of him? They might be able to kill him with a slap, so it was better to be careful.
When the two heard the sound, they turned their heads and glanced at him with a trace of disdain. They seemed to be sizing him up. After a while, one of them slowly said, "Do you have proof?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Le Tian quickly replied. Then, he took out the token at his waist and handed it over. "This is General Yuchi's token. He ordered me to see His Majesty."
