Chapter 31: The Return of the Northern Army
In recent days, Chang'an City has been filled with a joyful atmosphere. As truckloads of gold and jewelry were sent into the imperial city, tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses gathered outside the city, and everyone knew that the Yanbei Army and the soldiers of the Jingnan Army who had galloped north to help were about to arrive in Chang'an.
At the end of the day, Tang Yu, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, led the Manchu civil and military forces to the outside of the city. There were many people in Chang'an City who flocked outside the city behind the Jinwu Guard formation, and they also wanted to see these soldiers who had returned triumphantly.
Tang Xiao and the Yang family stood together, and not far away were Emperor Tang Yu and the three princes. The perimeter is heavily guarded, with three steps and one post, seven steps and one guard, and ordinary people can't get close at all.
Tang Xiao was wearing a purple and gold court dress today, and he felt a little uncomfortable standing here. Not far behind him were the families of the various princes and princes. Looking back, I saw a few familiar faces.
Yu Chi Baoqi was standing next to a young man with his head drooping, and he should be the big treasure of Yu Chi's family. He Ruoying stood beside his mother like a baby, as well as Yang Wei and others who had an enmity with him. These guys, who usually shout five and six times, seem to be much more honest today.
Looking at the old monk of the Yang family, Tang Xiao couldn't help but slander for a while. His daughter led tens of thousands of troops to return triumphantly in the midst of all the attention, and she couldn't see the slightest excitement and pride, and this determination made people have to be convinced.
"Aunt Yang, the martial sister's sister is back today, does the little nephew need to prepare some gifts?"
Yang glanced back and said quietly: "It's my sister, not my sister." ”
"Huh?" Hearing this inexplicable sentence, Tang Xiao was a little dazed.
"Mei'er was born three days earlier than you, you have to call her sister."
Hearing this, Tang Xiao was speechless for a while, and muttered in his mouth: "Three days is also called big?" It's really drunk. ”
Originally, Tang Xiao was still looking forward to seeing the first female general of Great Xia, but when the Yang family said this, he suddenly lost his mood at all.
The sky was high and the clouds were light, and the earth was dark.
A loud eagle chirp echoed between heaven and earth. Looking up, a white eagle soared in the air, from far to near, constantly hovering overhead.
"Look, Eagle!" Pothos excitedly pointed to the sky.
"It was raised by the third lady of my family, called Little Bone."
"Sister Hongying, can I go and see it in the future?"
"That's not good, the little bone is recognized, be careful that it pecks you!"
Seeing the envious expression of the pothos, Tang Xiao comforted: "What's so rare about a broken carving, I'll take you to the sky for a spin another day, and I don't know who envy whom!" ”
Hearing Tang Xiao say that he wanted to go to the sky, the two maids, the rainbow kite and the red warbler, cast contemptuous glances one after another. Although they didn't say it, they had already listed Tang Xiao as the number one talking king in Daxia in their hearts, and this cowhide was about to fly to the sky.
The road in the distance was dusty, and a young general, with a white horse and a silver gun, walked in the front. This person is Pei Xingjian's eldest brother, Pei Xingyan. He looked at the majestic Chang'an City in front of him and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Since three years ago, he led the army with his father to aid Yanbei, and three years have passed. Now, they have returned, but more robes have been left in the grasslands of Mobei forever. People only see the result of victory, but they never care about its tragic process.
This was his first time fighting with the army, and it was also the first time he felt the cruelty of death.
The white horse was spinning in place, Pei Xingyan looked back at the rear army, and in the formation of the Yanbei army with black armor and red flags, a touch of jujube red could be vaguely seen. His gaze stayed there, and he didn't look away for a long time.
The martial sister who always wore a bronze mask, although she could only see a pair of eyes, it was enough to haunt him.
What kind of soul is in those eyes that are as fierce as a wolf in the face of the enemy and as cold as ice in the face of death?
Because I was curious, I gradually liked it. And because I like it, I am secretly infatuated.
Now, she and her Yanbei army have also come to Chang'an together, and they don't have to go back to the Yanbei that made her heartbroken. Thinking of these, Pei Xingyan felt a little warmth in his heart.
"General Pei Xiao, Your Majesty is here outside the city!"
"Tell the three armies, stop and rest."
The soldier received the order and hurriedly ran back to make a loud announcement. Pei Xingyan patted the white horse under him and asked the horse to stop. It didn't take long for a gray-haired veteran to gallop on a black horse.
"Daddy!"
The veteran nodded and asked, "Your Majesty is ahead?" ”
"Yes, it is said that Your Majesty has been waiting for an hour."
This veteran is Pei Renji, Marquis of Jingnan, at this moment, his eyes show a little sadness: a general will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and winning this war is not as easy as in the war report.
"Dad, what do you say Your Majesty will do for us in the future?"
"The credit of our Jingnan Army to seize this time is too great!" Pei Renji sighed faintly: "Yuanqing, you have been obsessed with martial arts since you were a child, although your martial arts are high, you don't understand the affairs of the court, let alone the emperor's heart. In all dynasties and dynasties, those who have achieved high merit have not ended well. ”
"However, the Yanbei Army has a greater credit than ours......"
Bae Renji sneered, interrupted his son's words, and said, "What do you know! Even if the martial arts girl is brave and brave and uses soldiers like a god, she is still a woman after all, and she will still marry in the future. Although the Yanbei Army is still called the Yanbei Army, except for her, the main general, has not been changed in the past three years, and those deputy generals and generals have all been replaced by His Majesty's people. During these three years, haven't you seen it clearly? ”
Pei Xingyan lowered his head and looked lost. Of course, he saw it clearly, but in his heart he was unhappy for the Wu family.
The Wu family is full of men who guard Yanbei and let a girl who has not yet reached the end of the battle be put into battle, what a loyal martyr and what an irony!
"Yuanqing, dad can see that you like that martial arts girl, you'd better break your thoughts as soon as possible, so as not to increase your sorrow."
Pei Xingyan nodded a little unwillingly and said, "The child understands." ”
The trumpets sounded, and the army set off again.
At this time, a samurai girl wearing a bronze mask, a red cloak, and a black armor came on horseback. It was a maroon horse with a sword on its back and a longbow and quiver on its side.
Hunting in the cold wind, the galloping jujube red horse neighed, its front hooves stood high, and stopped in front of Pei's father and son. Wu Jue petted the jujube red horse's head dotingly, letting it calm down.
"Uncle Pei, Brother Yuanqing." Under the cover of the mask, Wu Jue's voice was slightly metallic.
Pei Renji bowed slightly, and said: "Sanniang, we are about to face the saint, if you are still wearing a mask, I am afraid that something is wrong." ”
"Uncle Pei is too worried, and my niece thinks that His Majesty will not care about these details."
Hearing Wu Jue's cold tone, Pei Renji no longer persuaded her.
When they were in Mobei, the two often had contradictions. In particular, half a year ago, when the Turkic royal court was broken, Wu Jue did not listen to the dissuasion and insisted on going his own way, and ordered thousands of Turkic princes and nobles to be killed, which was brutal and ferocious, which made people shudder.
Seeing that Wu Jue was so stubborn again, Pei Xingyan kindly persuaded: "Sanniang, after all, this is Chang'an City, and there are many eyes. Maybe Your Majesty won't care about these details, but this Manchu Dynasty is ...... civil and military."
Wu Jue arched his hand, interrupted Pei Xingyan's words, and said: "Brother Pei doesn't need to say it anymore, my Yanbei Army is loyal to His Majesty and Daxia, and my little sister wants to see who dares to chew her tongue!" ”
The voice is like a sword, murderous and awe-inspiring.
There is also a bit of resentment......
