The moonlight in the garden was bright, but there was a coldness hitting the body, which made Ji Qingchen, who was strolling in the garden, feel a little desolate. In fact, when he knew from Wei Zhongxian's mouth that Bai Zhiquan was going to marry Princess Dream to him, he knew that he had no choice, because he was the prince of Dayan, and marriage was just a political transaction for them. But where can you go if you want to escape from Dayan? So he knew that this marriage was already a certainty, even if Emperor Yan had not yet made a will, the two sides had already started negotiations on the issue of the wedding.

But going north may be an opportunity!

At least he can avoid the conspiracy of the people of King's Landing City to frame him and the forced marriage of the Lingnan Yi tribe.

Walking under the moonlit night, Ji Qingchen thought like this in his heart, now he didn't dare to think about Shu'er, as long as he thought of Shu'er, his heart was full of guilt and unforgivable.

He wandered in the garden like a walking corpse, and unconsciously walked to the stone bridge of the artificial lake in the garden, and the moment he stepped on the stone bridge, his body suddenly shook, and tears couldn't stop flowing out of his eyes, because he suddenly thought of what Shu'er once said to him: I would like to be on the fossil bridge, and experience five hundred years of wind, sun and rain, just so that one day my beloved can walk across the bridge.

Sonorous!

At this moment, he suddenly pulled out the wolf's blade, and the snow-white wolf's blade in the moonlight emitted a cold light, much more terrifying than the scythe of the god of death. He jumped out and landed on the other side of the stone bridge in a few steps, and the "Ten Styles of Breaking Blood" were used in one go, the knife light flashed, the knife qi continued, and the side of the stone bridge was filled with a suffocating murderous aura, and the courtyard was full of slaughter.

When he used the "Ten Styles of Breaking Blood" to be sheathed and stood quietly on the stone bridge again, he saw Mingyan standing quietly on the opposite side of the bridge like a fairy who had descended to earth, wearing a lilac light sarla skirt.

"Why haven't you rested yet?" Ji Qingchen asked, with the conversation in the garden last time, the relationship between the two has been much closer, and they don't want to be so separated when they just returned to King's Landing.

"Didn't Your Highness rest either?" Mingyan said with a smile, stepped on the stone bridge and walked to Ji Qingchen's side, standing side by side with him, quietly staring at the water.

Neither was talking.

After a long time, Ji Qingchen asked, "Mingyan, do you have anything you want to do most in your life?" ”

"Yes!" Mingyan replied without thinking.

"Oh——?" Ji Qingchen didn't expect the other party to answer so simply, so he asked, "What is it?" ”

"I just want to go north to Caozhou with His Highness, and I can play the piano for His Highness to relieve his fatigue!" Mingyan said this, with an innocent and innocent expression on his face.

Mingyan's answer silenced Ji Qingchen.

Ming Yan told him about this last time we talked, and he gave Ming Yan time to think about it at that time, but he didn't expect that the singer in front of him would be so stubborn, knowing the danger of going north to Caozhou, he still had to follow him desperately. However, Mingyan's answer still warmed Ji Qingchen's heart, and he said, "Is there nothing else?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, Mingyan's parents died as early as when Mingyan was eight years old, otherwise Mingyan would not have been sold to Cuihualou by his uncle and aunt." Mingyan said in a low voice, as if recalling the days when he was tormented in the Qinglou in the past, "In addition to learning the piano and practicing dance in Cuihualou, Mingyan also has to read and write, learn calligraphy and painting, in addition to doing a lot of sundries, and be whipped and bullied by the mothers in the building. Later, I met His Highness, and I followed His Highness to King's Landing. ”

Mingyan paused when he said this, and continued, "What kind of person is Zhao Taishou, no one in Ningzhou City doesn't know Lu Dao, so when Ming Yan was sent to Taishou Mansion, he knew that his life was over, but he didn't expect to meet His Royal Highness at the banquet again, when Ming Yan knew His Royal Highness's identity, and when he was sent to the pavilion, he thought in his heart, this is fate, Ming Yan can't hide, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness to be different from Zhao Taishou, and different from anyone Ming Yan knew, His Royal Highness not only did not bully Ming Yan like them, thinking about taking advantage of Mingyan, and taking care of Mingyan as a sister. ”

Mingyan took a breath, seemed to have mustered up courage, and said in a low voice, "So Mingyan said to himself that no matter where His Highness is going, Mingyan will follow His Highness, no matter how dangerous it is, he will not leave, Mingyan will not do laundry and cooking, but Mingyan will wait for people, Mingyan will play the piano to His Highness, Mingyan feels content with His Highness in this life." ”

"You-" Ji Qingchen didn't know how to reprimand Mingyan, so he kept the words on his lips again, and paused for a moment before he spoke, "Then prepare a few more clothes!" Winter in Caozhou is not like King's Landing, it is very cold. ”

"Yes!" Mingyan replied, quietly looking at Ji Qingchen's back as she left, crying with joy, and even when Ji Qingchen's figure disappeared from her sight, she couldn't help crying.

Time passed quickly, and in a flash, it was the day before the expedition.

In fact, for Ji Qingchen, he was still very comfortable during this time.

Because of the presence of Cheng Qianfan and Bai Yang, Yu Wen Injury, Guo Lun and Li Duo and others in the Long Xiang Army, the situation in the Beida Battalion has changed a lot, and the training intensity of the cavalry in charge of Bai Yang and Yu Wen has been strengthened, not to mention, it seems that the training of the 40,000 foot soldiers in charge of Cheng Qianfan, Guo Lun and Li Duo has also entered the regular stage, although the training has only lasted less than ten days, the combat effectiveness of the 40,000 Long Xiang Army foot soldiers has obviously improved a lot. As for the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, not to mention, as far as Bai Xiangcheng and Li Changzheng, Wang Yin and others, the training of the Xiao Cavalry Camp has never been left behind.

And at noon on this day, Ji Qingchen was practicing calligraphy in the study, and Zhang Rang suddenly walked into the study and replied to him, "Your Highness, just now I sent the prisoner a good war knife." ”

"Is it eight hundred and ten?" Ji Qingchen asked, he was afraid that in just a few days, he would not be able to complete the task of eight hundred is one handle.

"No, it's nine hundred." Zhang Rang replied.

"Oh-what's going on?" Ji Qingchen frowned and said, he remembered that if the refined iron he sent was counted as defective and defective, he could only barely cast eight hundred and ten handles, which was enough for the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to have one handle!

"That's right, Lord Dai said, the quality of the refined iron obtained from the batch of war knives we sent after the furnace is very good, if only the refined iron obtained from the furnace is used to cast the war knives, the cast war knives are too hard, the sharpness is reached, but the toughness is not enough, so he added a part of the good iron in the prison storehouse, and this time 900 handles were cast."

"Leave ninety handles and send them to the treasury of the palace, and the rest will be pulled to the Xiaoqi camp with the king!" Ji Qingchen said, without much joy, he continued to write, he was very calm.

"No!" Zhang Rang was ordered to leave.

After carefully writing a word, Ji Qingchen put away his pen, put on the wolf blade and walked out of the study, left the palace and came to the Xiaocai camp in Kuoshan with Zhang Rang and a group of guards.

Because today is the last day that the cavalry camp has stayed in King's Landing, and tomorrow it will go north to Caozhou. Therefore, Bai Xiangcheng was talking to the Eight Hundred Horsemen Battalion, and saw Ji Qingchen and his party walk into the school field. Bai Xiangcheng stopped his lecture and immediately greeted Ji Qingchen to the point of command.

Facing the 800 people in the audience, who were ready to go to the front line of Caozhou, Ji Qingchen's heart was surging!

Because the 800 people in front of him are the most complete and complete one in his hands, from recruits to veterans, they have slowly trained and grown to the current cavalry.

"I'm going north to Caozhou tomorrow, are you afraid?" Ji Qingchen asked.

"Don't be afraid—" shouted the eight hundred soldiers in unison.

"When this king left the country as a hostage, he followed the tiger and leopard cavalry to fight against the Western Desert people, do you know what the people of Lu Dao worship the most?" Ji Qingchen asked in a loud voice.

The Eight Hundred Xiao Cavalry Battalion was silent, how could they know the Dao?

"It's a wolf!" Ji Qingchen said sharply, "Because wolves are the most ferocious animals on the grassland, they have stamina and patience, and they can lurk around their prey for days for food, just to let the prey relax their vigilance and capture it in one fell swoop!" This king said this, there is nothing else to die, just to tell you that you are still just a group of sheep, and the Beirong Iron Cavalry to face in Caozhou in the north is a pack of wolves, what should we do if we fight with them? ”

"Kill—" shouted the Eight Hundred Cavalry Battalion.

"That's right! Kill—kill them all—" Ji Qingchen shouted loudly, "Whoever is ruthless enough in this world is hegemonic." If it's not ruthless enough, it's very simple, and it will be eradicated. In the future, when you face the Beirong cavalry, you must be fiercer and more ruthless than them, otherwise you can only be killed by them. ”

"Zhang Rang, bring the things up!" Ji Qingchen didn't say a long speech, so he said to Zhang Rang.

"Yes." Zhang Rang received the order, and with the assistance of the three guards, he brought the ten sword that was newly forged by the general to Ji Qingchen. Bai Xiangcheng, Li Changzheng, Wang Yin and other generals on the stage couldn't help but light up when they saw the ten new war knives in the hands of the three guards. Because the appearance of these ten war knives is very imaginary with the wolf blade on Ji Qingchen's waist, there is almost no difference in size and size, and it is well-made, it looks simple and atmospheric, which makes people a little in love at first sight.

"Brother Xiang Cheng, how is this war knife? It's a lot better than your last time, right? Ji Qingchen said with a smile, took a war knife and handed it to Bai Xiangcheng's hand. Bai Xiangcheng took the sword and pulled out the knife violently, the sound was crisp, and the blade was bright under the scorching sun, emitting a dazzling light. Bai Xiangcheng held the battle knife in his hand, and he felt a vigorous battle intent from the battle knife into his body, causing the blood in his body to begin to surge.

"Good knives! What a knife! Bai Xiangcheng said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”

Li Changzheng and others on the stage already liked the new war knife at a glance, and after the praise of Bai Xiangcheng, a martial idiot, they were even more anxious to feel itchy, and wanted to step forward to take the war knife to see what it was, but Ji Qingchen was in front of them, they didn't dare to make a mistake, and there was Zhang Rang, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, for Zhang Rang, a dead eunuch, he had the first time he killed Zhou Ning, the captain of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, in the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and the impact on them was too deep, and they had no confidence in front of Zhang Rang.

"Li Changzheng——!" Ji Qingchen shouted. Li Changzheng immediately walked in front of Ji Qingchen, and Ji Qingchen handed him a war knife, "Go north this time, use him to kill the enemy well." ”

"No!" Li Changzheng happily took the new sword.

"Wang Yin—" Ji Qingchen continued to shout, as he prepared to deliver the new swords to them one by one, showing that he valued them. Wang Yin stepped forward and respectfully took the sword.

"Liu Qingqing—"

…… Personally presented a saber to the ten people on the platform, Ji Qingchen ordered all the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to dismount, he strode off the platform, and one by one sent the newly cast war knife to the hands of each Xiao Cavalry Battalion soldier, and did not forget to say a few words of encouragement to the other party, so that the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion were very moved. After doing all this, Ji Qingchen returned to Dianjiangtai again, and announced in public that everyone would be given an afternoon off, so that they could go home and reunite with their relatives for one night, and then gather in the barracks the next morning.

The 800 cavalry battalion shouted loudly!

I'm very excited about Ji Qingchen's this!
