Chapter 4 The Great Army Enters the City

The Chu people worship Zhou Li, respect the phoenix, and call themselves the god of fire after Zhurong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Whenever the soldiers go out to fight and triumph, they will be on the platform to worship heaven and earth, and send each other with fine wine to welcome each other.

Outside the towering Tongque Gate City Tower of Chu Jingyingdu, there is a section stretching out of the platform, that is, the point of the platform. On the stage, with black as the bottom, the flag of the king of Chu painted with gold by the fire phoenix, the flag is displayed, floating above the sky of the city tower.

Due to his physical discomfort, the king of Chu appointed Ling Yinzi, the head of the hundred officials, to lead the civil and military officials to comfort the army on the platform.

On the high point of the general's platform, the maid stood with a cup in hand, and the forbidden army lined up to greet each other.

When the auspicious time comes, the bells and drums sound in unison, the female Lego plays Kaile, the singers sing triumphant songs, and the witch Zhu dances to sacrifice to the gods.

The great priest ascended the altar, burned incense with clean hands, and announced to heaven and earth, Zongmiao, Sheji, Yuedu, mountains and rivers, palaces, and shrines within ten miles of Beijing, and preached loudly, "Offering prisoners." ”

Mi Huang stood under the stage, his hands raised slightly, "Dedication!"

"Dedication!" On the tower of the city, headed by Yang Wei, five thousand cavalry generals opened the big wooden box beside them together, and sacrificed Yu (馘, that is, the left ear of the enemy killed during the battle was cut off, and the prisoner was sacrificed as a voucher for meritorious service. Under the altar, it was handed over to Ling Yin for review.

Under the city tower, the five thousand phoenix feather guards heard about it, and tied up and escorted the 1,000 captives they brought back to the bottom of the city tower for the gift of prisoners.

Then Mi Huang bowed to heaven and earth three times, knelt down and proclaimed in the direction of the altar, "The eldest daughter of the ninth generation of Chu Zhi, Huang, presents my king, fortunately not disgraced, killed 100,000 enemies, captured 1,000, and repelled the 200,000 army of Yongguo!"

Behind him, the five thousand phoenix feather guards then bowed three times, knelt down and proclaimed in the direction of the altar, "The five thousand phoenix feather guards presented to my king on behalf of 100,000 soldiers of the Chu State, fortunately not dishonored, killed 100,000 enemies, captured 1,000, and repelled the 200,000 army of Yongguo!"

Mi Huang ranked first, and together with the five thousand cavalry generals, he unsheathed his sword and knelt on one knee again, leading the five thousand phoenix feather guards under the stage to shout together, "Long live my king!

The people are simple, as long as one person says to them, "The eldest princess is the reincarnation of the phoenix in the fire, and with her blessing, Chu Yong's battle is a great victory, and there is a great harvest in three years of drought." These are facts in themselves, and with a little supernatural legends, the poor people living in the lowest strata will be more convinced, and they will spread it by word of mouth.

At this time, under the tower of Tongque Gate, there was already a sea of people, and almost all the people of Yingdu gathered here, looking forward to it, just to see the eldest princess who was like the reincarnation of a phoenix in the Yongguo War. When the people of Chu State heard such a tsunami-like cry, although they had not yet seen the woman on the head of the city, they were already excited, and shouted together, "Long live my king!

Mixed among the people, two women wearing hoods who couldn't see their faces clearly, looked at each other and smiled, and said, "The task is complete, let's go." ”

"Well, let's go back to the palace quickly, lest anyone find out. ”

The two of them were like two small fish, swimming in the direction of the flow of people towards the Chu Palace.

On the top of the city tower, Ruo Zi led a hundred officials to stand on the platform of the generals, looking at the five thousand soldiers from afar, although there were not many soldiers, but the military horn shook the sky, comparable to tens of thousands of troops, and also had thousands of pride.

He Chu should be so proud of the heroes, conquer the world, unify 800 princes, and ascend to the supreme position in the world.

The old and deep gaze fell on the woman who was dressed in a golden armor on the stage, and returned to the court with a sword, only to see that her bright eyes were slightly downcast, her face was solemn, and she was neatly tied with a black crown and a ponytail, not like an ordinary royal princess, weak and unrestrained, but a solemn and heroic face that did not lose to a man, and had the air of a martial king.

I can't help but feel sorry for my talents, she is really a good daughter of Chu, but when I think of her son Ziyan, I twist my eyebrows and sigh again.

Behind him, a courtesy official preached loudly, "Let Yin Daijun give wine." ”

Hearing this, Zi took the wine glass and preached loudly, "The king ordered Weichen to lead hundreds of officials to use elixir to reward the eldest princess and five thousand cavalry generals and five thousand soldiers. Drink, everybody!"

The hundred officials held their cups and bowed and shouted, "Everyone, please drink!"

The maids stepped forward gracefully and presented a large glass of wine with a pair of jade hands.

Tens of thousands of people downstairs spontaneously shouted, "Princess, please drink! Soldiers, please drink!"

Mi Huang held it with both hands, and did not do that Sven, he drank it in a big gulp, and poured the cup without a drop of wine.

The same is true of the five generals, and the same is true of the five thousand soldiers under the tower.

Seeing 5,000 sergeants, tens of thousands of subjects celebrating with her, Mi Huang was proud and laughed loudly, "Haha! Huang, Father Xie gave this elixir royal wine to strengthen the soul of my Chu army, and it is determined that the king will be crushed to the bones, and there is such a cup." After finishing speaking, he put his cup on the ground with both hands, and the cup shattered to the ground.

"Haha, the eldest princess can be like this as a woman, how can I not be willing to be a rough person!" Huo Dao stroked his beard and laughed with a wine glass.

Si Jian also looked at his master with a proud face, "Si Jian, the female general of the thousand horses, swears allegiance to the princess and the king!

"The frightening wind swears allegiance to the princess, allegiance to the state of Chu, there is such a cup!" The young and firm gaze passed behind Ling Yin and fell on Ziyan, who was wearing a dark young master's official uniform.

"Yang Wei swears allegiance to the state of Chu to the death!"

"Me Ouyang Nai too!"

"Huang Yuwei swears allegiance to the state of Chu to the death!"

I saw that the five generals and 5,000 soldiers swore allegiance together, and they all vigorously slammed the cups on the ground, and the 5,000 cups were smashed on the ground.

When all the officials saw it, they were all solemn.

The people all saw it together, and they were all proud of it.

This is really the heroic teacher of the Chu State, if there are millions, it will definitely be able to raise the prestige of my Chu State.

"Haha! The princess is really the model of my Chu State clan, and the women don't let the eyebrows!" Zi slowly stroked the green beard under his forehead, and glanced at the four generals of the Phoenix Feather cultivated by his sister-in-law with satisfaction, all of whom had reached the rank of general of the Thousand Cavalry.

"Good, good ......"

Ruo Aozi, who said a few times, happily stroked his palms and laughed, happy for a great victory after many years of silence in the Chu State, and for the new talents of the Chu State.

Standing on the high platform, the great priest ordered people to offer hundreds of sacrifices such as captured captives, booty, chariots, horses, cattle, sheep, etc., and then burned incense in the direction of the temple, "The battle of Yongguo, every battle is invincible, and the battle is invincible, and the ancestors are blessed by heaven...... May the heavens bless me forever, and the country and the people will be safe. ”

Up and down the city tower, hundreds of officials, soldiers, and people of the Chu State all prayed sincerely, "May the heavens bless me with great Chu, and the country and the people will be safe......"

**********

After the sacrifice was completed, Zi led hundreds of officials to walk to the edge of the city tower with the phoenix in his arms.

If Ao Ziyan came with a smile in the middle of the hundred officials, the officials who knew him all gave way, smiled and signaled him to go first, until the edge of the city tower, he was already standing on the other side of the city, like his father and son, the three of them climbed on the edge of the city tower together, looking down on the entire Yingdu City at the feet.

Inside and outside the city, along the main city street, the soldiers of Yingdu City guarded along the street.

When the people who were originally watching the noise saw the two people standing side by side on the city tower, the people on the city tower walked towards the people under the city with a smile on their faces, and the people under the city tower saw the changes and squeezed towards the city tower.

I hope to get closer, and then closer, the cheers that shook the sky resounded throughout the entire Yingdu!

Since King Mu was sick and weak, a great victory rarely seen in several years!

The eldest daughter of King Mu is in the Chu Yong War.

Fight to fame!

"Congratulations to the eldest princess on her victory!"

"This time, I will completely beat the Yongguo Qunban back to my hometown, the princess Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

"I heard that the eldest princess fought a lot of victories in the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the city said that the princess was the most noble phoenix in our country, reborn from the fire, reincarnated, and the princess of the god of war. ”

And the people cheered for the other person on the stage!

"Congratulations!"

"The concubine is not only the youngest young master in the Chu Kingdom, but also the first prince of the dynasty!

"It's so handsome!"

"Of course, that's the first noble son of my Chu country!"

"With the princess and the concubine here, our Chu State will definitely win one battle after another!"

"Chu State Zhongxing is hopeful!"

Dressed in a black cloud satin black cloud and black color young master uniform, the man stood on the side of the woman in golden armor, although the woman was not as handsome as the man next to her, but she was uniquely heroic, like a pair of blue people made in heaven, together to accept the cheers and worship of the people of the entire Yingdu City, and then gently smiled and waved together.

This moment seems to be prepared for them.

All the cries seem to be what they are crying out for.

They are the phoenixes in the hearts of Chu people.

Seeing and listening, the undulating cheers of the people, Ruo Ziyan raised his sword eyebrows lightly, turned his head and smiled and congratulated Mi Huang, "Yan hereby congratulates the princess on finally getting what she wanted, winning a big victory, and winning the hearts of the people!"

"It's all thanks to the genius of the son, so that he can have today's work!"

"Yan Meng praised, not very honored. Ziyan praised this without modesty, and stretched out a hand with a satisfied chuckle to invite her to come along, "Princess, let's go into the city!"

"Yes, Childe. A pair of eyebrows slightly clustered Huang Huang helplessly bowed his head, this man who always remembered to invite merit, silently complained under his slightly solemn face, and other virtuous gentlemen should not be humble and polite to reply to the last sentence at this time, "A certain talent, the princess should not be so praised." ”

But why is this man so boastful?

With his hands folded, he looked at the position where the two of them were standing at this time, which was the front of everyone's crowding, so he smiled and ordered, "The eldest princess and the generals have returned victoriously against the Yongguo, open the city gate, and welcome the army!"

A herald passed on the words one after another, "Yongguo has won a great victory! Open the city gate! Welcome the army!"

Tongque Gate, three high and one zhang gate, heard the order at the same time and roared open, the two walked side by side, if you look carefully, Ziyan has to go half a step forward, and Mi Huang is half a step behind, the two behind the five generals closely followed, a group of people walked down the city tower, into the army into the city.

Five thousand phoenix feather guards marched into the city in unison, the team was like a long dragon, the momentum was like a sword, and they went straight into Chujing in the ten miles of the people.

On the city tower, hundreds of officials were crowded, scrambling to be the first, but Zi Pan had been standing quietly on the top of the city tower, quietly observing every word and move between the two, as well as the reactions of the upper and lower subjects, until he sincerely stroked his beard and smiled.

Although Mi Huang is the eldest princess, it seems that between the two, it is still my family's "young phoenix" who is superior and has the overall initiative.

It's good, it's good.

************

Although the people of Chu who have not won a victory for many years praise the triumph of Mihuang, there are also a few people sitting in the restaurant, and when they see that they are far away from the soldiers of Yingdu City, they have a lot less scruples in their words.

A merchant told him about the reliable news he had received, "You see, although the king has recruited a son like a prince as a concubine, it is equivalent to sending a son to the royal family for the first lord, which is a great shame!"

The friend who was at the same table with the merchant didn't believe it, "How can it be? You see the horse and the princess walking side by side on the street, what a talented woman and what a match made in heaven, I guess there is no one who is so suitable for such status, intelligence, and beauty." And you can see that there is not the slightest dissatisfaction on the horse's face, but a happy face!"

The merchant shook his index finger profoundly, "You don't understand this, this marriage was asked for by the colt himself!"

"How could it be, a man would not ask to marry a princess, and I know that the concubine is the first noble son of the Chu Kingdom, and the first person in this year's Dabi, and it is the heir to the future Ling Yin!"

"I didn't believe it when I heard it, but it's true!"

"However, when you say this, it does not look like a colt is forced. ”

"Yes, who told me that there is no son to inherit in the Chu State, and I can only rely on the eldest princess to give birth to a son to continue the royal bloodline in the future. ”

The more my friend listened, the more he felt that the future of the Chu State was worrying, "I don't know if our Chu State will be surnamed Mi or Ruo Ao in the future?"

"Shhhhhhh

"Anyway, I always feel that this marriage, if the Ao family is roasting themselves on the fire!"

"Shhh ”

************

On the ten-mile long street, in the best wing room on the second floor of Yuexiang Building, a bead curtain is half rolled, and there is the most noble princess of Chu State, the daughter of Princess Wu, and the third princess who is favored by the King of Chu, Mi Zhao.

I saw that she was petite and dressed in a red riding suit, with riding boots under her feet, and her body was rich in the places that should be abundant, and thin in the places that should be thin, looking graceful and moving, but the snow-white and delicate face was pale at this time, "Mihuang, it must be you who persecuted Ziyan!"

As Mi Zhao's companion since childhood, the concubine of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Shiyu, who was dragging the ground in a pink dress, also couldn't hide the secret loss in her gentle and charming eyes, and said with a worrying feeling, "Princess, is there no room for redemption in this marriage?"

"Unless Mi Huang dies!" Mi Zhao raised her head and replied, her hideous gaze shot at Wang Shiyu, startling her.

"Ahh

Wang Shiyu caressed her chest, it seems that the elegant and noble third princess in front of people is going to do it behind people again, the women who like Ziyan all these years have not ended up well because of her, and she can only hide her thoughts deep in her heart, and she must not reveal half a point in front of her.

"Li Da! I'll tell you that whoever you find for me, you're going to kill Mi Huang for me. Mi Zhao said in a loud voice.

An order was shouted, and in the corner five steps behind Mi Zhao, a tall and heroic man wearing the iron armor of the forbidden army walked out with a sword, his eyes were heavy, and he gave his hand and said, "Yes, princess." ”
