Chapter 173? Country No. 7
The mighty procession slowly marched forward.
At the front, there was a flying car floating in the air with ropes pulled by eight horses. This flying car was brought back by Zhou Nan when he came back from Shanhaiguan. Since Bianjing was in distress, Li Feixing always took a flying car with him wherever he followed Zhou Nan, just in case. This time, Li Shi proposed to use Zhou Nan's flying car as a kind of honor guard in Zhou Nan's legal drive into Beijing, and said that this is a holy relic that only the New Liao Kingdom has.
All the ministers not only did not disagree with this statement, but also agreed with it unanimously. Therefore, he temporarily discussed with Zhou Nan and let the people who gave Wanshengjun drive a flying car to the front of the greeting team, so as to strengthen the momentum and let the people of Yanjing see the majesty of Wanshengjun. Zhou Nan naturally agreed, so he let his personal guard Xiao Jiu drive the flying car on it, and in order to ensure that nothing was lost and not blown away by the wind, there were eight cavalry soldiers on the ground who each held the rope connected to the flying car.
Next up is the guard of honor. The guard of honor is first of all the sweepers, which are served by the cavalry of the Black Iron Army, all armed with bows, crossbows and spears, and are responsible for clearing the field; Behind the Qingdao team is a large flag, embroidered with the sun and the moon, embroidered with flames on both sides, and embroidered with two big characters of "Xinliao" in the middle, which are guided by Yu Zhongwen, the prefect of Yanjing Prefecture, and Zhang Yingmo, the envoy of Bili Academy. Then there are the teams embroidered with various dragon flags, the convoys carrying various utensils, and so on. In the Dragon Banner team, there are Fengbo and Yushi flags, Lei Gong and Electric Mother flags, wood, fire, earth, gold, Mercury flags, and Beidou flags. The special convoy behind the flag has a guide car, a Jili drum car, and some of the things carried on the car, and Zhou Nan can't name it. Each car was pulled by four horses, and there were more than a dozen people driving alone.
Behind is the guard of honor. The guard of honor is different from the guard of honor, which is mainly music and image. At the forefront of the guard of honor is the guard known as the "Twelve Heavy", which is served by the cavalry of the twelve rows of black iron army, all of whom are holding horizontal swords and carrying bows and arrows. Behind the twelve-fold is the band, in the end, it is a horse nation, even the musicians are riding horses, the instruments of the band are drums, Hu Ji, flute, flute, suona, cymbals, there are hundreds of musicians alone.
The band was followed by a neat line of flag-bearers. There are rectangular flags, flags decorated with feathers, colorful, waving in the wind, very spectacular. Most of the accompanying officials were on horseback and followed behind the band. Although these officials only accompanied them, they also walked in a very neat manner with the queue in front.
Behind the official's team, there were two columns of cavalry of the Black Iron Army, with two flags in front, namely the Green Dragon Banner and the White Tiger Banner, and the Black Iron Army Cavalry was holding an iron spear with the tip of the spear pointing to the sky, with a murderous atmosphere. Immediately afterwards, it was Zhou Nan's turn to ride in the white camel car.
Zhou Nan's white camel cart was the core of the welcoming team, so the car was heavily guarded. The white camel cart should have been driven by the Taifu Siqing, but many vacant positions in Yanjing City were not arranged for officials, so they were temporarily driven by the deputy left-behind guard of the Left-behind Mansion, and the two sides of the white camel cart were personally escorted by Han Gui and Ma Daqiu, two pro-army guards, and the white camel cart was followed by the maids in the palace sent by Yu Liyan and a part of the Wansheng army. At the back is a guard of honor composed of peacock fans, small fans, square fans, yellow wings, etc., and cavalry troops with weapons such as halberds, swords, shields, bows and crossbows.
Outside these welcoming teams, there are also cavalry troops transferred from Juyongguan, Zhuozhou and other places, which are also brightly armoured, and follow the team to deal with various situations at any time.
In fact, Li Shi, Yu Zhongwen and others thought too much. In this iron-barrel-like Yanjing Road, the people also know that it is because of the army led by General Horse that they have their current peaceful life, and a few days ago, the government also distributed fields to them, and also distributed seeds and farm tools, so that they would not delay farming. Such a general who cares for the people and loves the people, it's too late to support him, who dares to come forward and make trouble?!
At the east gate of Yanjing City, outside the Yingchun Gate, Yelu Yu Liyan looked to the east from time to time on a color platform erected. Below the color platform, the Black Iron Army cavalry led by Xiao Laoliu was guarding all around, and even the soldiers on duty on the city wall were like a great enemy.
Because there are too many Yanjing people who came here to welcome Zhou Nan into the city, that is, the throne, there are more than 100 steps on both sides of the road, all of them are bustling people, and they have been lined up two miles away.
"Here it is, princess!" The sharp-eyed silver bottle suddenly saw the flying car floating in mid-air, and said excitedly.
"Facing the big event, tens of millions of people are paying attention, why don't you be more steady?!" Yu Liyan scolded in a low voice.
"Hee-hee, princess, you see, this kind of pomp and circumstance is like a wedding between the princess and the concubine." Yinping didn't care, and said with a smile: "Princess, when you get married to the concubine, it will be bigger than this one...... The princess wanted to let the concubine go to Danzhou to welcome her relatives, and the uncle and general didn't know how happy she was at that time! ”
Looking at the scene of flags covering the sun and drums in the distance, Yu Liyan couldn't help but think about it, and only felt that the long queue was Zhou Nan's wedding team that came to greet him with a bride price. After a while, Yu Liyan came back to his senses and scolded with a smile: "You girl, but you want to get married?" It's going to be nonsense all day long. Put these words away quickly, and get ready to meet the colt. ”
As he spoke, the flying car was in front, and it had already reached the sky above the people outside the city gate, and those people had heard of the flying car of the Wansheng Army, but very few people had seen it. At this time, they all looked up and pointed.
With the sound of drums, Zhou Nan's procession finally stopped, separated to the left and right, and made way for a road. Yu Liyan and Xiao Lao Liu walked from Caitai to the white camel cart, Xiao Lao Liu changed his usual smile, solemnly saluted, and said loudly: "Minister, Yanjing Ma Bujun commanded Xiao Lao Liu, meet the new Liao King; The Queen of New Liao is here to welcome the King of New Liao! ”
Yu Liyan just stood, but did not salute. Now she and Zhou Nan are one of the kings and the other are the queens, the general size, and there is no need to salute. If you talk about the etiquette of husband and wife, but there is no big wedding, so you just stand there.
Zhou Nan got down from the white camel cart, walked to the two, and said, "General Xiao is exempt. Invite the queen to ascend the carriage together and enter the court to receive the salute. "These programs are all taught by the ceremonial officials, and Zhou Nan just said according to the established good words.
Zhou Nan walked in front of Yu Liyan, took Yu Liyan's hand, and helped Yu Liyan to board the white camel cart, while Xiao Lao Liu boarded the position of the driver of the white camel cart, and drove with the deputy guard to the palace.
In the sound of drums, the car slowly entered the city, and the onlookers discussed: "Great! We will be the new Liao Kingdom in the future! ”
"That's it! With the ability of the general horse, there is no need to hide in Tibet in the future. ”
"Han Laosi, you have committed the crime of disobedience - there are no horses now, now there is only the King of New Liao, the Queen of New Liao!"
"If it was usual, I would have to argue with you, but now it's different, dozens of acres of land at home are about to be planted, and my mother-in-law is waiting for me to borrow livestock to plow the land! See you another day. ”
"Han Laosi, eighty percent of you planted your mother-in-law's land, right? Hahaha! A group of people laughed and dispersed.
