Chapter 5: Qingxiao Cloud City

The next day, he officially stepped into the border of Qingxiao Country and entered the military fortress on the border of Qingxiao Country, where 200,000 troops were stationed to resist the Purple Lion Country, which looked like a giant beast from a distance.

Wangguan City, looking at the pass, stationed at the pass and guarding, attacking and retreating, the terrain is dangerous, the garrison is tight, Li Tang and they just entered the scope of Wangguan City, and they were discovered by the local defenders.

"Stop, who's who?"

In the blink of an eye, Li Tang and the others were besieged by one hundred and ten people, wearing armor, half of them were armed with spears, twenty with bows and arrows, and the rest were armed with sabers, forming a battle formation, looking at the convoy with vigilant faces.

"The Purple Lion Prince's team, don't hurry up and give way. Wang Peng said loudly, taking out the customs clearance documents of the Purple Lion Country.

After the general on the opposite side got the paperwork, he hurriedly flipped through it, with a hint of mockery on his face, and finally threw the paperwork over and said, "Horse, please!"

The troops blocking the road in front immediately got out of the way, revealing a passage about seven meters wide, and after Wang Peng received the paperwork, he continued to move forward with the convoy.

As Li Tang expected, they did not pass through Wangguan City, and went directly around the side, in order to avoid exposing the secrets of Wangguan City.

Even so, Li Tang could also get a glimpse of the leopard from the side, and discover the prosperity of Wangguan City from the bits and pieces revealed.

The city wall is as high as 30 meters, and there are patrolling Qingxiao soldiers everywhere above, and there is a watchtower every 100 steps, which is 50 meters high, and can observe the situation for dozens of miles around, and there are people looking around all the time.

A ten-meter-wide moat, bottomless, with bamboo rafts carrying soldiers on patrol and heavily guarded.

"The strength of the Qingxiao Kingdom is very strong! No wonder the Purple Lion Congress let me get married. ”

On the carriage, Li Tang and Zhao Yun sat cross-legged, fragrant tea was placed in front of them, and a few wisps of smoke rose up, and the aroma filled the carriage, calming people's moods and washing the desolation in their hearts.

"Lord, things are not so simple, the Purple Lion Country sent you to marry, not only to let the Qingxiao Country send troops to resist the Baiyun Kingdom, but also to weaken the strength of the Qingxiao Kingdom, and secondly, to maintain the relationship between the two. Zhao Yun pondered.

"Yes, as long as you get involved in the war, whether the result is victorious or not, it will be beneficial to the Purple Lion Country, but I don't understand why the Qingxiao Kingdom would agree to this marriage. ”

Li Tang didn't know why, if he won, the Purple Lion Country and the Qingxiao Country would be able to divide the territory of the White Cloud Country, and the Purple Lion Country could use the opportunity to develop rapidly, which was definitely not the result that the Qingxiao Country wanted, if it failed, the Purple Lion Country might fall, and the Qingxiao Country would also be affected, and its strength would be greatly reduced.

Zhao Yun took a sip of fragrant tea and said, "Lord, Yun has a bold guess, but he is a little reckless!"

"It's okay, you just say it. ”

Li Tang doesn't care about whether he is reckless or not, good medicine is good for illness, and loyalty is good for action, he is not strong in anything else, but he can still tell whether the words are right or wrong.

"Qingxiao Kingdom wants to annex the White Cloud Kingdom and the Purple Lion Kingdom, and finally become the Hou Kingdom. ”

This was a bit surprising, Li Tang was also very surprised in his heart, and the first reaction in his heart was impossible, and after thinking about it, he found that it was not impossible, so he said solemnly:

"It's going to be dangerous, and it seems we need to be careful. ”

Zhao Yun nodded, holding the fragrant tea and tasting it slowly, he didn't bother to look at the scene outside the window, and the atmosphere of the carriage immediately cooled down.

............

In the next few days, the army of Qingxiao Kingdom was protected, and the team brought by Li Tang has now turned the original thirty people into a team of 2,000 people, including a team of twenty maids.

The yellow flag is fierce, the nine dragon cloud flags are located around the carriage, and there are bands on both sides, drums, flutes, and trumpets are deafening, and they are very lively.

"Zilong, how long will it take to get to Xiaoyun City?"

Li Tang on the carriage asked, after entering the hinterland of Qingxiao Kingdom, Zhao Yun got out of the carriage and rode his own Yezhao jade lion, dressed in white robe and armor, which attracted the attention of many people.

"Back to the lord, there is still half an hour, according to the officials of Qingxiao Country, there is a team outside the city to greet us. Zhao Yun said outside.

Xiaoyun City, located in the middle of the Qingxiao Kingdom, is located in the Qianli Plain, and has reclaimed countless fertile fields, which provide a steady stream of power support for the development of the Qingxiao Kingdom, especially the 10,000 acres of spiritual fields, so that the number of warriors in the Qingxiao Kingdom is more than that of the Baiyun Kingdom.

Finally, the speed of the carriage slowed down, the sound of firecrackers rang out all around, and a loud voice rang out outside:

"See the colt!"

Li Tang stepped out of the carriage, he saw a majestic city, the city walls on both sides are endless, spread boundlessly, in front of him, there are a total of three city gates, with the highest in the middle as the main gate, there are thirty-nine meters, it is the place where the emperor's ministers' troops enter and exit, and the two sides are the places where merchants and people enter, only twenty meters.

Thirty officials stood at the main entrance, greeting Li Tang under the leadership of a second-class officer, with gorgeous clothes and strong strength, reaching the peak of the martial arts.

"Thank you!" Li Tang bowed to them, to put it bluntly, he was just a proton, and if others gave him face, he couldn't kick his nose in the face.

"No problem, tonight, the king will feast on the horses in the imperial garden, and I will take you to the palace now. ”

The second rank said with a smile and led Li Tang to the palace.

Walking into Xiaoyun City, a 50-meter street, the street is lined with shops, and the afterglow of the twilight sunset is faintly sprinkled on the red bricks and green tiles or the brightly colored pavilion cornices, adding a bit of hazy and poetic to the prosperous evening scene of Xiaoyun City.

The buildings in the center of the city are similar to those of Tianhuo City, and even less prosperous than Tianhuo City, although there are gold bricks and green tiles, and there are many palaces, but the equipment inside is a little outdated.

This made Li Tang more vigilant, the center of the city is the palace of a country, under the ordinary, it is not the royal land, everything in the world belongs to the palace, and the palace that plays the role of the best treasure in the world looks a little old, what does this mean?

There is only one answer, the royal family of Qingxiao Country does not pay attention to enjoyment, comfort and extravagance make people degenerate, diligence and thrift make people progress, the royal family members are high-spirited, and the ministers are full of cooperation, in the long run, Qingxiaoyun's strength will definitely become stronger and stronger.

Entering the palace, Li Tang only brought Lao Fu alone, and the rest of the people could not enter.

Entering it, there are no imaginary groups of maids, piles of eunuchs, the front hall is full of guards with knives, and entering the apse, there are not many maids and eunuchs, walking eagerly, full of vitality.

"See the colt!"

"See the colt!"

After seeing Li Tang, he made a woman's salute and left in a hurry, and the direction he went was one place, and he was busy where he wanted to come.

Following the second grade master, Li Tang walked through many palaces, and he was about to get lost! Finally came to the Imperial Garden, the fragrant fragrance overflowed, the garden was full of purple and red, the river ran through, adding a touch of coolness, the breeze blew Buddha, and the petals fell to the ground, which was very beautiful.
