Chapter 439: The Marquis of Zhenxi (Part I)

It is very cold in Bianjing City in winter.

On the street, the strongest men were wrapped in padded jackets, and their hands were staggered into their cuffs. On weekdays, the diligent traders think of the weather when they will condense into ice chips when they breathe out a breath of white gas, and they all have sad faces, and only the coal man who pulls a cart of coal will smile.

But on this day, the bright smile on the face of the coal man with a black and gray face seems to be contagious. Families put on their warmest clothes and flocked to the crowded streets. The street was covered with a layer of white snow, and in an instant, it was trampled into black ice chips.

Knowing the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, everyone living in Bianjing City was terrified. They knew that this would be the end of the rebels.

Thirteen years of peace have not forgotten what the turmoil brought them: blood, corpses, disaster, fear......

However, a team returning from the Western Regions allowed them to see a ray of light in the darkness.

Their name is the Avengers. Revenge for the dead comrades-in-arms, revenge for the suffering Li people, and revenge for the scarred Datang.

The emergence of this team has added many variables to the Oriental Journey. The most fatal point of the crimes he listed in the "Book of Rebellion" is that the court is mediocre and treacherous, which has caused the mountains and rivers in the Western Regions to be shattered, and Hu Lu has long driven straight into the court -- how can the people trust the imperial court, which is still not well guarded?

However, a force belonging to the Tang Dynasty called for wind and rain in the Western Regions, which made Mo Lingtu, the first person in Tiele, lose face, and burned Dima City clean with a fire, leaving a hideous scar on the territory of the Xia Kingdom.

Such a brilliant record injected a shot of strength into all the people of Datang, and also slapped Dongfang Yuanxing in the face.

In times of chaos, the reason for traveling far away in the East can still stand; But if the Tang Dynasty is working hard to resist the enemy and has achieved achievements that are enough to go down in history, at this time, you have to start a war when you travel far to the east, ignoring the general interests of the country, then... Who is the traitor?

What's more, the leader of this team is still an old acquaintance of the people in the capital. In half a year, people suddenly discovered that the gold medal boy who was once full of wisdom has become the backbone of Datang.

Xixuanmen is crowded with people.

In the middle of the human wall, 3,000 horses slowly passed through the city gates in four columns. At the front of the team, Tang An, who was replaced by a white horse, raised his head and stood tall, posing as a mighty general, and secretly summed up in his heart: Lao Tzu's dignity should be enough to be sassy, right?

As the horse's hooves stepped out of the door, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.

People, all of them are people!

Forgetting the cold people, the cries erupted like a tsunami.

In any era, what awaits heroes is flowers and applause. More importantly, in the eyes of the people, Tang An walked out of them and was a representative of the common people.

The head of the academy, the king of Lushan poetry, the big shopkeeper of Genting Shopping Center, the gold medal little scholar, the reception envoy of Daxue Mountain... Behind this series of titles, I am afraid that there is another one more now.

General of the West!

Looking at the scene that was magnified hundreds of times by Bi Rongtian, the Avengers soldiers who had deliberately put on a cold appearance felt trembling in their hearts. Chen Buping, who is used to being calm on weekdays, can still say that Li Dazhuang's wide mouth has already reached the root of his ears, and Ji Chen, who lives in the border city all the year round, saw such a big scene for the first time, and he trembled with excitement.

What are they throwing their heads and spilling their blood for? It's not to protect the land and water of one side and keep the peace of a country. And now, they see their own value in the eyes of the people, and see the gratitude in the hearts of the people they protect with their lives.

Everything they do, it's worth it!

Looking at the pride of the people in front of him, the obviously stiff lines on Tang An's face gradually softened. He finally knew why some people were willing to sacrifice their lives, because perhaps when everyone recognized the value of a person, he would understand the meaning of life.

Although Tang An is not a soldier, now, he is also a member of the Avengers and a miracle worker. Everything he has done with all his hard work can be recognized and appreciated by the people, and this feeling makes his heart full of warmth.

With a smile on his face, he waved to the people who forgot to shout the word "Tang An" one by one. The vivid faces were so happy that a voice kept circling in his head: it seemed... Making these lovely people live better is what it really means to be a soldier.

The boiling crowd surrounded the entire street, and the endless road was actively given way by the crowd. At the end of the passage, you can vaguely see the ceremonial team in full costume forming a formation.

When the 3,000 soldiers and horses were close, the festive welcome song suddenly sounded, accompanied by the sound of drums, pushing the hustle and bustle of the street to a climax. Immediately afterwards, a group of old men in official uniforms divided into two columns and greeted each other on foot.

People were surprised to find that the youngest of these old guys was probably in their fifties, and any one of them was enough to make the capital tremble. And today, they seem to have given up their official position, and they didn't even wear outer robes, but shivered in the cold wind in thin official uniforms.

Among them, a young man in a golden dragon robe stood in front of the hundred officials like a moon surrounded by stars. It's just a tall figure, which already makes people feel supreme majesty.

Tang Anxin, who was riding a white horse, was shocked, he never imagined that he would alarm the emperor.

"Dismount!"

There was still a hundred meters away from the honor guard, and Tang An shouted angrily. The movements of the three thousand soldiers were uniform, and they all jumped off the horseback.

This almost pretentious performance immediately won the long-lasting applause of the people. Such a reaction, such a skill, such an execution, is worthy of a hundred battles. Only such a soldier can make the invincible beard frightened.

The steps of the three thousand people are powerful, and between the gestures, people can feel a fierce aura tempered in blood and fire. Many people look at this legendary division and can't help but think: If the army of the Tang Dynasty can be like them, will it be far from unifying the world?

Tang An walked at the front of the team, and when he was about fifty meters away from Qin Tian, he immediately paused. As soon as he stopped, everyone behind him stopped, as if they were no longer a team, but a whole.

Tang An knelt on one knee and arched his hand: "See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

The soldiers of the Avengers all knelt down to pay respects: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

A group of ordinary people who watched the excitement rarely saw the Son of Heaven, and they also learned Tang An's appearance and bowed to the ground: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

From a distance, on the endless West Street, the crowd fell down like wheat in the wind.
