The official gentry of Dingzhou, under the leadership of Shang Haibo and Lu Yiming, went out of the city for ten miles to welcome Li Qing's return, guarding the border, and Lu Dalin, who did not dare to leave lightly, also specially sent back his younger brother Lu Dabing, not to mention the county orders of each county, gathered here, at this moment, the master of Dingzhou officially belonged to Li Qing either in name or in fact.

Li Qing smiled and accepted everyone's congratulations, and the group began to set off towards Dingzhou City, where a more solemn ceremony was waiting for Li Qing.

Across Dingzhou City, there are still far away, you have heard the gongs and drums celebrating in the direction of Dingzhou City, and the high brass trumpets, someone has already gone to report the news first, and when they got closer, Li Qing couldn't help but be dumbfounded, nearly 100 meters from the city gate, a good red carpet was actually laid, and the entire section of the city wall in front of it was covered with red silk, and the people who were not qualified to follow Shang Haibo and others to greet him had already stood densely along both sides of the red carpet.

"Is this necessary, how much does it cost?" Li Qing, who had just sprinkled a lot of money in Fuzhou, was quite heartbroken, with this money, it was better to add some armor to the soldiers and build some better weapons!

"It's money to spend!" Shang Haibo emphasized, "Dashuai, this is to announce the belonging of Dingzhou to Dingzhou and the people of the world, even if Dingzhou is poor, this money must be taken out." ”

Li Qing shook his head indifferently, he was a practical person, although he did not agree with Shang Haibo's statement, he could not refute his face, but this time he fought with Qu Yongjie in the capital and won a large sum of silver, these expenses can be recorded in his own name, and he does not need to spend the money in the official treasury.

"Congratulations yet!" Shang Haibo said with a smile.

"Huh?" Li Qing looked at him puzzled.

"Dashuai's trip is worthwhile, not only has he become a legitimate handsome man in Dingzhou, but also a concubine of Dachu, and she is also the princess of Allure who moves the world, which is greatly beneficial to our Dingzhou!" Shang Haibo's eyebrows fluttered, this time, his previous worries were finally put in his stomach, Princess Allure, haha, he really didn't think of a better ending than this before!

"Are you happy?" Li Qing asked with a little sarcasm, Shang Haibo smiled halfway, looked at Li Qing's face, choked back, and secretly said in his heart, Da Shuai seems to be unhappy, it's better not to go to this sign. A few dry coughs stopped the conversation.

"Princess Allure? You don't know? Li Qing sighed, suddenly stopped his mouth again, and said in his heart that this Allure must be going to marry into the door, really marry into the door, this tigress type of wife is definitely ugly, and it must not be publicized.

Shang Haibo glanced at Li Qing in surprise, why is the handsome in his heart like this, could it be that this princess of Allure is not beautiful? That's not right, the princess of Allure is famous all over the world, no matter how you say it, she should not look bad, and the breeze around the handsome is already a beautiful child, it doesn't hurt if Allure is ugly, it doesn't hurt to have an ugly wife at home, even if Allure looks like no salt, so what does it matter? Where is the identity of the person? It is better to have fewer beauties around Dashuai, and the gentle township is a hero's mound! Shang Haibo said to himself, but he definitely wouldn't say this, Dashuai is a man, and he is a young man with strong blood, I'm afraid I can't wait to be surrounded by beautiful women! He was in his heart.

"Marshal, please!" Walking to the head of the red carpet, Shang Haibo grabbed the horse's head and stretched out his hand to invite him.

Li Qing grabbed the reins, and when he saw the crimson carpet, he felt a little sad in his heart, and turned back to Yang Yidao and said, "Please go first to those sacrificed warriors!" ”

Yang was stunned, "Handsome? ”

"Go!" Li Qing made a blank face and said sharply.

Shang Haibo looked at Li Qing puzzled, because Li Qing's assassination was related to the Li family's family affairs, not many people outside knew about it, and the Statistical Survey Department did not send the news back to Dingzhou, and Shang Haibo and the others did not know about it.

Yang Yidao jumped off the horse, walked to a carriage, stretched out his hand to pull the curtain, Shang Haibo's eyes immediately narrowed, and inside, there were twelve small wooden boxes with white yarn tied on them.

"General, what's wrong?" He asked, shocked.

Li Qing shook his head, "Let's talk about it later!" He jumped off his horse and stood on his side. Seeing this, the rest of the people, although they didn't know why, also dismounted.

Yang Yidao, Tang Hu and ten guards stepped forward, one of them picked up a wooden box, and walked towards the red carpet with heavy steps.

Li Qing clasped his fists in both hands, shook deeply at the twelve wooden boxes that were entering the city, and shouted loudly: "The soul returns, the soul returns!" ”

With Li Qing's shout, Yang Yidao and the other twelve people held the twelve wooden boxes high above their heads and walked step by step. The bronze horn sounded in the city, but it turned into a mournful and exciting sound, followed by the beating of the big drum, and the fierce sound of killing rose sharply, "The soul returns!" Shang Haibo shook to the ground, the road sounded to the ground, outside the city, inside the city, above and below the city, everyone shouted in unison, and the voice of the warrior resounded throughout Dingzhou City.

Li Qing strode into the city, followed the steps and walked up to the high city tower, on his left and right sides, Yang Yidao and others held twelve spirit boxes, standing solemnly. Shang Haibo and the others were still standing under the city, looking up at Li Qing standing tall above the city.

"Over the past hundred years, I have fought against the barbarians in Dingzhou, going forward and successively, and the father has never succumbed to the iron hooves of the barbarians." Li Qing raised his hands and shouted loudly.

There was silence above and below the city, only the sound of the wind raising the banner of the city, and the hula-la sound seemed to be annotating Li Qing's words.

"Countless heroes have died in battle, their blood has soaked every cent of land in Dingzhou, their heroic spirits have never left us, they are still in Dingzhou, in front of every fortress against the barbarians in Dingzhou, watching us inherit their legacy, watching us still struggle."

"Under our feet, it is our land, our homeland, the wealth we have worked so hard to create, and our parents and relatives, but the barbarians on the grassland want to rob our land, take away our wealth, and rob our relatives, do we agree?"

"Don't agree, don't agree, kill the barbarians, kill them all!" Above and below the city, there was a tsunami-like echo of the mountains.

Li Qing nodded with satisfaction, "Our Dachu, although it is a country of etiquette, but we have never been afraid of barbarism, we hope for peace, but we are not afraid of war, for the sake of future generations, we have to fight, there is battle, there is death, tell me, are you afraid of death?" ”

"Don't be afraid!"

"Yes, we are not afraid of death, for we are fighting for our children and grandchildren, for our eternal peace, and for this purpose we must step on the battlefield again and again until we defeat the barbarians and conquer them." Li Qing said sonorously, "For this purpose, we will still have many people die, and for this purpose, we will also have many people who will lose their husbands, fathers, and sons, but it is worth it, let our generation finish the war!" ”

"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng!"

"I will build a monument to commemorate those predecessors who sacrificed for Dingzhou, he will be located in the center of our Dingzhou, for everyone to see, he will be taller than any building in the city." Li Qingdao: "Dingzhou will also build a martyr's hall, all the soldiers who died in the future war can place his spiritual seat in it, for our children and grandchildren to pay respects, so that they will always remember that their happiness is the life and blood of these heroic souls." ”

Shang Haibo raised his head, looking at the impassioned Li Qing on the city tower, his eyes suddenly fogged, how many years, he finally met a Ming Lord, a person who really has the atmosphere of a king, it is difficult for him to imagine that Li Qing at this moment, will actually use such an opportunity to gather the entire Dingzhou, the same enemy, today was Li Qing's most brilliant day, but he gave this opportunity to those warriors who died, but because of this concession, his prestige climbed to the peak at this moment, Shang Haibo can think, When the monument and the memorial hall promised by Li Qing stand in the center of Dingzhou City, it will definitely become the glue of the entire Dingzhou, the soldiers will not hesitate to die for him, and the people will send the men in their families to the battlefield for him!

He arranged this welcome venue, but Li Qing used it to make a perfect mobilization of the whole state, and the conquest of the grassland began at this moment.

And that's just the beginning! Shang Haibo clenched his fists tightly.
