Chapter 226: Ceremony of Entering the City
Outside the city of Malu, military camp.
Tomorrow is the grand event for the cathars to enter the city, and many soldiers have been packed up. The armor, harnesses, weapons, etc., have been polished to a clear surface. And in order to reflect a better military appearance and military discipline, the apologetics army also carried out training.
Many people who were empty also rushed outside the barracks to watch the neat and uniform scene of the apologetic army's training.
In the city, the streets have been cleaned. The concrete pavement was sprinkled with water. In front of every house, colorful flags were hung to welcome the Apologists. Under the blowing of the wind, it merges into a sea of flags.
Extending so to the mosque, the Imam, who converted to Puritanism, is praying the Qur'an. Many believers gathered around them to prepare for the arrival of the Guardian Army in the city tomorrow.
The nearby Governor's Palace, where people came in and out, was very busy. Zhu Qing, who looks like a housekeeper, is directing the people. The Governor's Palace was finely arranged. Rose, Ayina and others are also helping.
The Governor's Mansion is too big for them not to worry about.
Guards in armor constantly patrol the Doge's palace to prevent any accidents.
But the most striking thing is the high platform on the west side of the minaret.
That's for tomorrow's review! After the cathars enter the city, they will assemble here.
It's just that there are too many cathars, so there will only be some cathars who can stand here. The others were stationed in the barracks in the city.
In order to welcome the cathars into the city with a better attitude! The ordinary people in the city are also doing their best. Everyone takes out new clothes that they rarely wear and puts them on. It's like celebrating Eid al-Fitr, that kind of joy.
The merchants also discussed and sold the commercial goods sold on weekdays at a reduced price. Like the rouge gouache used by daughters at home, and the sword protectors used by men. There are also new commercial goods such as soap, perfume, matches, and pendulums in the Governor's Palace, all of which have been reduced in price to varying degrees.
Especially Lee's business is the most!
The shopkeeper of Ma Lu's trading house also said that the whole world celebrates together.
I always thought that the curfew was imposed. Also on this day, the ban was rarely lifted. attracted a lot of people, and it was late in the evening, still wandering in the streets and alleys.
This is a bitter Red Turban Army! Because as long as there is no curfew, they will also come out to patrol at night. And in order to prepare for an accident at the entrance ceremony tomorrow, you have to be very cautious.
So much so that wherever there is a fire, where an animal goes berserk, it can make them nervous for a while.
It's just different from the people's anticipation. Li Chengji stayed in his tent, a little distracted.
So much so that Ruyu came in with a bowl of white fungus soup, but Li Chengji didn't even notice it.
"Are you still worried about the affairs of the county king?" Seeing Li Chengji's expression, Ruyu asked with some distress.
At this time, Li Chengji came back to his senses and said loudly: "Why are you here?" ”。
"These days, it's getting hotter. I'll make you a bowl of white fungus soup to cool off the heat. Ruyu said, and scooped a spoonful for Li Chengji.
This action warmed Li Chengji's heart. opened his mouth and cheekily let the jade send it to his mouth. Since Grandma's untie the knot that time, Ruyu's attitude towards him has completely changed.
Although it is not as tender as water, it is no longer as cold as before. Making white fungus soup for yourself like this is a rare warmth vein.
Such a jade, Li Chengji is very enjoyable.
However, in front of others, Xiangyu is still relatively arrogant. Because of this, when they were about to stay in the Governor's Mansion for Li Chengji, they were nervous about arranging Luo. She specially came to the barracks and accompanied Li Chengji.
Especially these days, Li Chengji is worried about the affairs of Daliao. It is accompanied day and night, with a relaxed heart.
After eating a bowl of white fungus soup like this, the two talked funny things for a while before falling asleep together. But it didn't take long for Li Chengji to open his eyes again and wake up.
But in his heart, he was still worried about the affairs of Da Liao.
After all, Li Shichang and they were in trouble, but he couldn't save them personally, so he felt guilty. Even Zhang Timing and the others think that he is the most correct choice to focus on major matters. He also felt that he was too selfish.
It's been some time since the last time Balasagon wrote from him. In his heart, he was even more speculating.
So I tossed and turned, and I was a little sleepless. As if noticing, Jade wrapped her arms around his neck and pushed closer to his body. I want to do my best to let Lee Seungji get some relief.
So the next day, Li Chengji began to dress up with some heavy dark circles under his eyes. Her long jet-black hair was tied in a bun and pinned to the top of her head. Then put on a well-sized, shiny helmet. makes the whole person look a lot more heroic.
At the same time, he also wore protective gear and armor on his body in turn. Let the figure invisibly make a circle.
Outside the tent, the soldiers of the cathar army also put on new armor. They all rode tall horses and quickly lined up.
Li Chengji came to Li Dali, took the reins he handed over, and stepped onto the horse.
After walking a few steps slowly, I came to a slightly higher dirt slope where the soldiers had piled up. Looking at the soldiers below, they were all neatly dressed and solemnly standing in a square formation. And he ordered the trumpets to be blown, and began to march out to the city of Maru.
At the forefront was the life-killing battalion that made great achievements in the Battle of Khorasan. They captured the two cities of Guchang and Sylvan in succession, and laid the foundation for the victory of Nishapurshire. The achievements are impressive, and there is no head.
The Governor's Mansion doubled their entire army for this! Needless to say, the side rewards are not too much.
As their battalion commander, Ge Riwuqi, the head of a thousand households, walked in front of the entire camp. When entering the city, it undoubtedly became the focus of attention.
"What kind of camp is this? Hang such a chilling military flag? A man in sackcloth looked at the fluttering skull flag and said in surprise.
"It seems to be a death battalion! I've seen this banner in the city of Sylvan! A merchant who had migrated from Sylvan said solemnly.
"Death battalion? It's a lethal battalion?! When some people heard this name, they unconsciously murmured.
Because of this, the life-killing battalion was in the limelight, and the soldiers who were rewarded were several times that of other camps. Therefore, in the city of Malu, there have been rumors that the Death Battalion is the first battalion of the Protector Army. This made the generals of the Guards Division, who were Li Chengji's personal guards, very impatiently hold their breath.
But the reputation is outside, even if they are not convinced, they can't block the mouths of the people. So they can only hold back, delusional that one day, they will win a big victory on the battlefield. So that the people of Khorasan can see how powerful the Guards Division is.
These thoughts were irrelevant to Gregory and the soldiers of the Death Battalion.
At this time, they were enjoying the envy, admiration, admiration, and fear of the people, and they rode their horses and strode forward.
