Chapter 42 The Wind and Clouds Gather in Yongdu
Bright pearl, prosperous Yongdu. If you don't have an immersive standing on Tongri Street in Yongdu, you don't know that there is such a wide street in the world, from south to north, enough to accommodate ten chariots side by side without being too crowded.
But at this moment, from the city wall to the flame chariot sculpture, to the majestic triumphal arch, and finally to the Yongdu Palace, the fifteen-mile-long street is lined with people from all over the world.
Yu Lie and Wei Yingxue were also among them, but they didn't come to welcome the monarchs of the vassal states, originally, the little girl just wanted to go to the alley opposite Tongri Street to buy a Cai Xun, and by the way, take Yu Lie out for a walk, let him breathe fresh air, so that he wouldn't lie down all day and panic. Now that Xiaobai is dead, she cherishes Yu Lie very much.
Who knows, it will encounter such a scene.
It is reported that the Southern Chu River was immense, not only the 28 countries in the north of the Yangtze River were shaken, and the blood alliance was made in the Jade Pill City of Zheng State, and even the princes of Hebei were also under the attention of King Jingtai, and they all expressed their allegiance to the royal court and chased the barbarians in the south. As a result, Yonggong, the overlord of the world, convened a meeting of the princes, and met the three kingdoms of Qi, Yan, and Song in Yongdu to discuss the matter of defeating Chu.
However, there are other rumors that the State of Qi may not come to participate in the alliance, because for decades, the State of Qi has been fighting with the Yong State to compete for the status of the overlord of the world, perhaps, that Marquis of Qi is also secretly preparing to convene the alliance of princes.
If you want to dominate the world, whether you can convene a princes' alliance is the key to symbolism, so far, only Yongguo has the identity of the princes and uncles, recognized by the world and King Jingtai, but the matter of Southern Chu crossing the river, for Qi State, is a great opportunity, if Qi can lead his subordinate countries to attack Chu alone, then it will undoubtedly be the biggest challenge to Dayong.
Qi Guo, will you come?
All the people waiting on both sides of Tongri Street were speculating like this in their hearts, except for Yu Lie and Wei Yingxue, who were blocked at the entrance of the alley of the Arc de Triomphe, looking at the alley opposite in a daze.
The little girl's face was a little red, and she said softly: "Yu Lie, are you stuffy, does your chest hurt?" ”
Yu Lie said: "It's not stuffy, it doesn't hurt." ”
In fact, it was a little stuffy, but his attention was also outside the Arc de Triomphe, and as soon as he heard that Song Hou would come, his chest ached faintly.
The arch-shaped triumphal arch, thirteen zhang high, is carved with red stone, the top is fluttering the Tongri flag, and the left and right sides below are two flame chariots, and the soldiers on the car wear armor. In front of the chariot, Zhongfu Li, the secretary of Yongguo, stood up on the ceremonial carriage, quietly waiting for the arrival of the princes.
Zhong Fuli is not a native of Yongguo, but a native of Chengguo, fifty years ago, he rode a thin horse, walked out of the deep mountains and forests of Chengguo, came to the world's first capital, studied in Moshan Academy, after learning something, he stayed in Yongguo, and Yonggong and his ministers were compatible, and he was a prime minister for 30 years. Who dares to say that he is not Yongren?
The strength of Southern Chu lies in dominating Jiangdong, the strength of Yongguo lies in the Baichuan Nahai, the strength of Qi State lies in the wealth of the world, the strength of Yan State lies in daring to fight and is good at fighting, and Song State, this is an outlier.
Zhong Fuli felt that the first prince he saw was probably this outlier. Who knows, the result was unexpected, the first to come was not Song Hou, but the great witch of Chaoge City.
Chaoge City, which is the center of the world, is located between Yongqi. Hundreds of years have passed, and the direct territory of the co-lord of the world is far inferior to that of the monarchs of the Ten Thousand Vehicles, but since he is the co-lord of the world, who dares to despise him? Aren't you afraid of a group attack?
As for this time King Jingtai will send a great witch to come, it is not out of Zhong Fuli's expectations, the reason why the Great Zhou is weaker than the princes, the key factor is that in the first battle of Chu, King Xiaocheng led the princes to cross the river to attack Chu, but was swallowed by the river waves, not only the army was gone, King Xiaocheng is even more missing, as his son, King Jingtai does not hold a grudge? It's just that because of the danger of the river and the expedition of thousands of miles, the grain and grass are difficult to continue, so I have to endure it secretly. And this time when Southern Chu crossed the river, it was time for King Jingtai to revive the royal family.
Thinking about it, Zhong Fuli smiled faintly, the royal family, is there still a majestic style?
The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is still green, and it is the wood of the five elements. The slowly approaching ceremonial carriage was pulled by eight snow-white horses, and the old and loud chief sorcerer held his head high with the Bafang Festival, each feather on this festival was different, and the eight hundred princes from the land of Zhongzhou. Behind the ceremonial carriage were ten chariots, extremely richly decorated, and even the armor on the foot sword and shield hand was extremely exquisite, and the sun shone on it, shining with layers of dazzling light.
The royal family, there is only some decency left.
Zhong Fu thought so, but his expression was very respectful, and he bowed to the Great Wizard, who only nodded.
Next, sure enough, it was Song Hou. Song Guo is still yellow, six yellow horses are pulling Song Hou, who is over sixty years old, and behind him are twenty chariots, one hundred heavily armed single horsemen, and one thousand two hundred armored sword and shield bearers.
I'm afraid, this is the biggest scene today, it seems that Song Hou knows it.
Zhong Fuli smiled slightly.
Since the chariot phalanx of the Song Kingdom came into view, Yu Lie looked directly at the old man on the chariot, he was already old, although his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle, and his waist was as straight as loose, but the years were unforgiving, the corners of his eyes had drooped, and the nasolabial folds on the corners of his mouth were as deep as hills and ravines, looking like cucumbers in August, wrinkled. The Song kingdom was strong because of him, and perhaps it will also be weakened by his death.
Yu Lie looked at him, carved the appearance of this old man into his soul, at this moment, the young man's heart was very calm, he tried to look at the old man, so he pushed the car window wider, but the old man only cared about looking ahead, did not look at the crowd blocked by the armor soldier at all, of course, he did not know that someone in the sea of people was looking at him with extremely complex and fiery eyes.
Wei Yingxue said: "Yu Lie, what are you looking at?" ”
A soft voice interrupted Yu Lie's push of the window, and he turned around and smiled at her. When he looked back at Tongri Street again, he could no longer see the old man's car, but could only see the fluttering blood letter banner getting farther and farther away.
"The god of war is here."
At this time, a voice sounded in the crowd, and the onlookers on both sides looked out of the Arc de Triomphe, and one by one they lengthened their necks, like long-necked geese, which was easy to slaughter, Yu Lie suddenly thought in his heart.
God of war, there is only one god of war in the world, that is the general of Yan Guo Yan Qixi, it is reported that Yan Qievil strayed into the bronze mountain at the age of eight, and met an immortal in the mountain, the immortal lived for I don't know how many years, the ability to participate in creation, the immortal put a pine and cypress branch, a book, and a sword in front of Yan Qixi.
The pine and cypress branches represent immortality, the book represents the vast wisdom, and the sword, of course, symbolizes war and protection, but Yan chose the sword, so the immortal taught Yan the evil art of war, so that he has been in the world for 30 years without a defeat.
The legend is just a legend, and it can't be true, but Yan is the first person recommended by the children of the soldiers, and the art of war is a collection of treacherous and bizarre, all of which are all perfect, and they are all refined, which can be described as the pillar of the strong and prosperous Yan country.
"General Yan."
"Zhongqing."
From a distance, Zhong Fu saw Yan Qiyi standing on the chariot at a glance, this great general did not ride in a chariot, he was wearing armor like an ordinary soldier, with a long sword tied to his sword bag, and no crown on his head, only a cloth belt tied into a bun crown.
Yan is only a child of the Hou clan and a general, not the king of a country, but Zhong Fuli's attitude towards him is better than that of the monarch.
Yan Qixie nodded as he pressed the sword on the sword bag.
All eyes are on Yan but evil, Yu Lie is no exception, there are only three chariots from Yan Kingdom, because Yan Guo does not need a huge scene, only needs to put the majestic god of war on the chariot, that is the most serious respect and admonition to the princes of the world.
Yan is about forty years old, with a unique face of a soldier's son, a square face, sword eyebrows, knife lips, and eyes as resolute as iron. He was wearing a large coat, which was originally black, but now he couldn't distinguish his true color, and only saw clusters of black and red patterns mixed in it, as dazzling as a blood lotus blooming in summer. It was not a blood lotus, but real blood, the blood of the enemies of the Yan Kingdom.
Wei Yingxue squeezed beside Yu Lie's arm, fanned her big eyes, and said softly: "Yu Lie, when you grow up, do you want to become a god of war?" ”
Yu Lie nodded and shook his head again.
Wei Yingxue saw him nodding, her eyes darkened, and when she saw him shaking her head, her dark eyes lit up again, and the corners of her mouth curved: "Why?" All the boys in the world want to be Uncle Yan! ”
Yu Lie didn't care about the little girl's title of God of War, his eyes still followed Yan Qixie, and replied casually: "A person's strength will eventually come to an end." ”
Wei Yingxue suppressed her beautiful little face, thought about it, couldn't figure it out, rested her little head on Yu Lie's arm, looked at the black iron stream that was gradually moving away, and muttered: "When we go to Yan Kingdom, we will live in the Great General's Mansion, and I heard the teacher say that it is the safest place." When I was a child, Uncle Yan hugged me, and there was a smell on his body, which didn't smell good, like, just like ......" thought hard, and his eyes darkened: "Just like Xiaobai last night." ”
Yu Lie said: "The smell of death." ”
"Yu Lie!"
Suddenly, the little girl's voice was a little high, Yu Lie suddenly turned around, Wei Yingxue's little face turned red, looked at him fixedly, and said; "Master Qin said, you can come back to life, yes, it's a great miracle, how can you not cherish it? You, you also said that you want to talk to me all the time. ”
Although the little girl is small, she is a healer, how can she not know the horror of death? Yu Lie's heart moved, and he said in an extremely gentle voice: "I won't lose my words." As soon as he spoke, his voice was still like a broken gong.
"That's good."
The little girl was happy again, and she put her soft face next to Yu Lie's arm, and looked out of the car window, her bright eyes flashed with joy: "Yu Lie, look, Qi is here." ”
The country of Qi is here, and the long-awaited country of Qi is finally here. However, Yu Lie looked listlessly at the window of the carriage, not as excited as the crowd under the carriage.
Qi is still white, war horses, chariots, and armor soldiers are all white, and they rush to the triumphal arch with neat steps.
The rich Qi country in the world, the most well-equipped Qi country, they are not famous for their chariots among the princes, the backbone of the shock world is the elite of white feathers, they either ride alone, or carry a longbow, or hang a heavy sword, thousands of people are like one person, advancing and retreating together.
At this time, the welcome of the triumphal arch came to an end, and the princes' alliance in the palace city officially began three days later, in which the various competitions, material distribution, etc. were not known to the idlers, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, like the divergent river waves rushing into the red ocean.
After waiting for a long time, the carriage that Yu Lie and Wei Yingxue were riding finally drove to the opposite bank of Tongri Street.
