On February 16 of the twelfth year of Tianbao, it is advisable to travel far away, repair houses, kill livestock, and rush to the west.

The Kaiyuan Gate, one of the three west gates of the outer city of Chang'an, is the same as the Chunming Gate in the distance, which is usually not lightly opened, and will only be opened on major festivals or days such as the Son of Heaven's travel.

On both sides of the Tongqu Avenue outside the Kaiyuan Gate, a majestic military horse lined up in a neat ranks, the knights on the horses were dressed in new battle robes, the whole body was shrouded in bright armor, the long belt leaves were all around the jaw, the fragile neck was firmly protected, the horse lance of nearly two zhang long pointed upwards, and the tips of the layers of spears reflected a bright white gold and iron light, between the gray and white, the tassels on the iron helmets of the soldiers bloomed like blood-red flowers, looking down from the top of the city tower, like a magnificent picture of iron and blood.

"Son of Heaven, salute."

Soon, there was a call from the city tower, and the sergeants in the array, under the leadership of the independent officers, all raised their heads upward, looking at the Son of Heaven Luan who was slowly walking on the city tower, the first thing that appeared in the eyes was a stone blue umbrella cover, and then two emerald feather magpie screens, Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, wore a black and red crown dress, wearing a crown of twelve flat heavens, and two silk ribbons hanging down next to his ears.

"Hooray!"

Listening to the tsunami-like sound of the mountains in his ears, looking at the neat and uniform iron-blooded army formation under his feet, Li Longji couldn't help but feel his blood surge, although there were only two thousand horsemen, but he had unrivaled might, he raised his hands to all the sergeants, and the voice was even higher than a while, everyone raised the lance in their hands, and even the war horse under the crotch seemed to feel the master's fighting spirit, and kept letting out a low roar.

Li Longji's gaze swept over the layers of military formations, stopped at the few people led by him, and when the call gradually stopped, he lowered his arm and gave an order without looking back.

"Pass on Liu Ji."

"The left leader of the guard, the guard of the broken leaf town, Liu Ji, the driver!"

Dismounted, walked upstairs, a young man in fine armor "kicked" up the stairs, the iron leaves on his body with his movements made a "poo" friction sound, just like this through the passage of the hundred officials, came to the Son of Heaven, hugged his fists and saluted.

"Minister Liu Ji is driving, his armor and body can't be fully saluted, please forgive your majesty."

"That's it." Li Longji waved his hand indifferently: "This is more than 3,000 miles to the west of the moraine, and it takes five or six days for fast horses to go day and night, and it is fast to walk for more than a month, but I can only give you 20 days, where is the war in Xizhou, and the distance of more than 150 miles a day can you be sure?" ”

Liu Ji unexpectedly turned to face the outside of the city, raised his hands and shouted loudly.

"His Majesty Shicai asked me, can I be sure that I will arrive in Xizhou on the 20th, what do you think?"

Like him, Yang Yu, Hun Xuan, Chen Jin and other cadres who were standing in front of the formation first raised their hands and responded: "Yes." ”

Then the same voice came from the military formation close to the city wall: "Yes." ”

"Yes!"

The rest of the sergeants shouted in unison, and the sound shook the four fields, Liu Ji turned around and replied loudly.

"Did Your Majesty hear that?"

Li Longji smiled: "Okay." ”

"The government hall has issued an order, and the county pavilions and post offices along the way will give priority to arranging forage and lodging for you, and if there is a prevarication and delay, I will allow you to act cheaply, Li Mao."

"The minister is here."

"The transportation of grain and grass and the recruitment of athletes in Anxi Courtyard should be listed as an urgent task."

"Supreme, rest assured, the minister, Geshu Xiangguo, Wei Xiangguo, and An Shangshu have already come up with the charter together with the ministries, and they will not miss the military aircraft ahead."

"Liu Ji, did you hear that?"

"The minister heard it, and the minister decided to capture this fang for His Majesty and dedicate it to His Majesty."

"Do it well, I will keep the champion county for you."

In the surprised eyes of the officials, Liu Ji hugged his fists and saluted: "Dare not die." ”

Li Longji looked at Gao Lishi, who understood and took a long brocade box from the hand of an attendant and opened it in front of everyone.

"This battle flag was embroidered by my concubine." Li Longji took out a banner folded into a square from it and handed it to him in a precious and heavy way.

"Expedition for thousands of miles, it is my eyes, I will watch you break the enemy and capture the thief, expand the territory, and insert it in the westernmost land of the Tang Dynasty.

Liu Ji's eyes suddenly showed excitement, he turned his back without saying a word, held the two corners of the battle flag with both hands, and unfolded on the city tower with a "hula" sound.

A huge banner appeared in the eyes of the sergeants, the red flag represented the color of the Tang Dynasty, and the cloud dragon ornament embroidered with gold thread was wrapped in a big "Liu" character, which was their general, and countless long lances were raised high again, converging into a jungle where gold and iron intersected.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

In the overwhelming cries, Liu Ji turned around and went downstairs, the battle flag was raised high by his standard-bearer, and it sounded fiercely in the cold wind, and the cavalry followed closely behind, heading west in a dense and neat queue.

In the back compartment of the Jade Zhenguan in the city, Li Tengkong carried a large package to say goodbye to the insect girl, and the latter couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard it at first glance.

"When did you have this thought, I don't know at all."

"Aren't you here to tell you, Chang'an City, but only you know."

The insect girl is funny and worried.

"Am I still deeply honored?"

Li Tengkong grinned: "It's too boring in this city, it's better to go out for a walk, Taoist practice, you can't just meditate and chant sutras." ”

"That's the west of the city, and it's a place of war, how can you go on the road alone with a daughter's family."

"Don't worry, there is an eldest lady with you, who dares to come without opening your eyes, do you think you will live too long."

Li Tengkong tied, nonchalantly, wrapped the package to her body, compared to her slender figure, this package was simply a little too big, and the insect girl was worried about whether she would be pressed down.

"If you have a plan, I won't persuade you, if you leave, I won't even be able to find someone to talk to......"

Li Tengkong saw that she had a sad tendency, and hurriedly explained: "When you enter the Tao, the Supreme Grace may not be like Princess Yuzhen, when the time comes, come to find me outside the moraine, let's go and see the scenery outside the Saiwai, think about it, the desert is lonely, the sun sets over the long river, how beautiful." ”

The insect girl was moved by the scene she described, and her shining starry eyes blinked softly, and the beauty was breathtaking.

On the other side of Chang'an City, the three Yang sisters, Mrs. Yang Yujin of South Korea and Mrs. Yang Yuyao of the Kingdom of Qiu, stood on the top floor of the Xianghui Building on the left and right, and Yang Yuhuan, who was sandwiched between them, looked motionless into the distance with his eyes, muttering something in his mouth.

The faces of the three people are different, Yang Yujin has a gloomy face, Yang Yuyao is radiant, only her eyebrows are slightly wrinkled, her eyes are blurred, and every word she spits out from her red lips makes people's hearts beat.

“...... On the seventh day of the seventh month, when no one whispered in the middle of the night.

In heaven I wish to be a winged bird, and on the earth I wish to be a branch.

The days are long and the days are endless, and this hatred lingers...... No expiration date. ”
