Chapter 40: The Expedition

"Lord Dong? has always been rare, and Han is polite. Han Li has met Dong Zhang a few times, but this is the first time they have talked.

"I have long admired the great swordsman Gao Yi of Han, and my sister has entrusted her to your mansion, and I hope to bring one or two. ”

Perhaps he couldn't listen to Dong Zhang's tone anymore, Dong Yao frowned and interrupted: "Big brother, I'm not in the mansion of Han Da Swordsman. ”

"Yes, Master Dong should have said this to me. Gan Fei interjected, "But after entering our door, I believe that the little junior sister is capable enough to take care of herself, because sooner or later she will have to face those things that the world fears." ”

Dong Yao was obviously very interested in Gan Fei's words, and held her head high proudly.

Dong Zhang didn't understand the meaning of Gan Fei's words, but just looked at Mo Yumei and Gan Fei's intimate demeanor, and said in a loud voice: "It's all the same, it's all the same, Gan Zhuangshi bothered." ”

Han Li looked at the sky: "It's not early, we should go back too." Tomorrow at noon, the army will depart. ”

"Ah, exactly. Ask Han Da Swordsman to greet Huan Da Sima on his behalf, and say that Dong Zhang, the Chinese scholar, wishes Huan Da Sima Wang Shi the Northern Expedition, settles on the Central Plains, and returns to the old capital, invincible. ”

"Tomorrow at noon, the Son of Heaven will swear in the Zhangde Gate, won't Lord Dong go?" before leaving, Han Li asked sideways.

"The army is about to go on the march, and all the officials above the fourth rank on the right are here to see each other off, and they are despised...... There are not enough officials, so they can only look and worship along the way in the imperial city. Dong Zhang showed a hint of shame.

Han Li smiled very understandingly: "Thank you, Lord Dong, Han will definitely bring the congratulatory words." ”

On the first day of February in the year of Ding Si, it is advisable to travel to open the market, and avoid burying the wall.

In front of the Zhangde Gate of Jiankang City, a high platform is built, and the steps are laid out with red silk, and the flags are fluttering. On the stage, the prison offerings are arranged, incense is burned and prayed, and green smoke is swirling.

The Son of Heaven's Luan drove on the high platform, and the childish young Son of Heaven was dressed in a soapy middle coat, smeared with a cloth, wrapped in a silk robe, and the crown of heaven was crowned with twelve crowns, which was the most solemn costume, sitting in the Luan car, and on both sides of the high platform were all ministers with a solemn face.

Looking at it from the high platform, as far as the eye can see, there are flags waving and waving, and the soldiers are like a forest. The elite soldiers of the southern country with helmets and armor stood up densely, and the armor was reflected by the sun, emitting a silver luster, which was both magnificent and magnificent.

Huan Da Sima was dressed in a military uniform, wearing a dark robe, climbed the steps, and bowed down in front of Tianzi Luan.

This is the oath meeting for the Great Sima Northern Expedition before the army, and the inner servants in front of the Son of Heaven unfolded the edict and read it aloud:

"The chaos of the husband opens the world, the saint of the three emperors and the five emperors is in China, it is nothing more than the scenery of Shenzhou, the virtue of the sky, the first emperor's martial arts, the power of the four seas. ...... Donghu Xianbei took advantage of the chaos, the ambition of the wolf, harmed the Middle Earth, stole the country and burned the rituals, and rebelled against the heavens...... My Emperor's Holy Religion is the order of the Great Sima Wen, to hang the people and fight crimes, to punish the Hu Lu of China, to destroy the tyrannical Yidi, to restore the desolate northland, and to return the old capital of the emperor, then my emperor is very fortunate, Li Min is very fortunate, and the common people are very fortunate......"

This is the text of the Northern Expedition, and the inner servants read it with emotion, which greatly increased the morale of the army.

"Shenzhou Lu Shen, a hundred years of mound ruins, Chen Huan Wen dared not to do his best and die, in order to repay His Majesty's grace. Huan Da Sima had tears in his eyes and bowed down again.

The endless armor soldiers under the high platform each held their swords and raised them three times to the sky, and their mouths made a shouting sound at the same time, which resounded in the sky.

The waiter took the tray, and on the plate were three bronze wine lords, which were filled with fine wine.

Da Sima took the first title and held it high above his head: "This bottle is to respect the sky, and the destiny of heaven will protect it, and it will be invincible." "The wine poured like a jade bead.

Da Sima took the second duke, and sprinkled it on the ground after another salute: "This bottle is a rich land, the king of the world, and it will eventually return to the right place." ”...,

Da Sima picked up the third lord, put his hands in front of him, and gave a salute to the Son of Heaven: "This bottle is Your Majesty's majesty, the emperor's grace is vast, and I will be blessed with the success of the king." As he spoke, he covered his mouth with his sleeves and drank it all.

The sergeants in the audience shouted more and more, and their voices were deafening.

The Son of Heaven raised his sleeves and said: "The envoy of the Great Sima and the army of the Son of Heaven are all in charge." I wish the North to set the Central Plains and drive Hu Di away. ”

The inner attendant sent the Son of Heaven and the axe, which was a symbol of the military power of the Great Sima, and the Great Sima stood up and turned around, drew his sword out of the sheath, and loudly declared: "The army is on its way!"

"Roar, roar, roar" There was a crowd of people under the high platform, and all the samurai who were ready to go suddenly made a sound with their blades in their hands, and the shouts in their mouths condensed into a loud noise.

In the midst of such monstrous military might, a group of generals standing in the front row gave the order together: "No!"

"The fifth team of the front army, open up!" "Left army column, open up!" "Elite cavalry battalion, open out!" ......

The generals of the various armies gave orders in an orderly manner, and the boundless army marched in line and at a neat pace to embark on the journey of the Northern Expedition.

Starting from Jiankang City, it is the 50,000 elite divisions of the headquarters of the Great Sima Dynasty, all of which were brought by the Great Sima subordinate Gu, who set out from the oath of Jiankang City, and met with the 80,000 troops there in the Lujiang River, and the other road was led by Yuan Zhen, the general of the Southern Dynasty, through the two counties of Qiaoliang, opening up the Shimen waterway, and ensuring the transportation of grain and grass from the south to the Yellow River. Da Sima's established strategy was to go up the waterway and eventually join Yuan Zhen's army on the western route at the Yellow River.

When the majestic army set off, those ministers who paid homage with them couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"I have never seen the prosperity of the Huan Gong Army since the southern migration, and I may really be able to achieve a great cause. ”

"The Donghu people are fierce and vicious, I'm afraid they won't win so easily. ”

If this battle is won, the power of Duke Huan is even more unsurpassed, and we need to beware of the story of Cao Mengde in the previous dynasty. ”

"Gong Xie, why are you smiling and silent?"

is called Xie Gong, but he is a middle-aged scribe wearing a high crown and a robe, handsome and elegant, and the wind god is beautiful, and he still smiles when he hears the words: "I watch the Huan Gong soldiers send two ways, misunderstand people, and it will be useless to learn from the old and make it difficult to achieve a big plan." ”

Gan Fei stood at the head of the city, looking at the billowing dust and smoke raised by the army in the distance, and suddenly felt empty in his heart. Mo Yumei had already followed Da Sima and marched in the ranks of the army. This farewell, I don't know when we will be able to meet again, Gan Fei began to feel the pain of parting and lovesickness that the world often says.

His expression made Dong Yao beside him feel very interesting: "I always thought that the second senior brother was a profligate and chic man who would not suffer from love, where did I know that as soon as Sister Mo left, she looked lonely and melancholy, hehe." ”

"Little girl, what do you know......" Gan Fei wanted to make a few strong arguments, but at the end, he found that the bold words blurted out in the past were all turned into thoughts, and he couldn't say anything.

"Last night, it was a bit loud in your room. The foodless dog never spits out ivory from its mouth and mutters quietly.

Gan Fei muttered, "How can you understand the pain and reluctance in the hearts of two lovers who are about to separate...... Huh?" Gan Fei suddenly reacted, this dog was making bad water.

So, as expected, Wushi was shocked by Gan Fei's head, sticking out his tongue and mouthing, several guys from your mother's Qianjia have learned this trick from Xue Yang.

After a period of sadness and loneliness, Gan Fei quickly adjusted her mood, she can always meet again, and then she will be her bride, which is something to look forward to and feel very happy, and she is now depressed because of the temporary parting?...,

It's time to get back on track, anyway, the experience of going to Da Sima's Mansion is quite successful, not only makes Da Sima completely believe in the existence of demons and monsters in the world, and has begun to prepare measures to deal with demons, and even accidentally discovered that the thunder eagle in the Five Directions Qianjun turned into a person, as for removing a water shark monster who is planning to do harm, it is the icing on the cake.

Of course, maybe Lei Ying turned into a swordsman Han Da Swordsman didn't think so, he was now somewhat immersed in the remembrance of the past and seemed a little depressed, or not, when he experienced the Northern Expedition, he would always be good. At that time, I will invite him to go to the Qianjia Courtyard and make him feel the spiritual life of the Western Si Lei Eagle, and in this way, the five divine beasts have already gathered two of them.

There are still a lot of things to do, and the senior brother specially explained that he would go to the Luling Iron Clothes Gate to have a look and see if he had anything to do with the Blood Spring Ghost Clan. Thinking of this, Gan Fei couldn't help but reach out and touch the scar on his chest that had already formed scabies, that female ghost, the master still has an account with you.

Hey? Suddenly I thought about it, and I felt strange, what I met this time was either the female ghost of the Blood Spring Ghost Clan or the banshee of the Shark Clan, could it be that the dark master was destined to commit peach blossoms this year? So he did a good thing with Yu Mei? Wow, haha, it makes sense.

Dong Yao looked at Gan Fei's face for a moment of contemplation, a moment of seriousness, and a smirk for a while, very surprised.

If things go well in Luling Tieyimen, then I will go to the Lingnan Mountains again, where there are also traces of demons, huh, the itinerary is really full. But before I do, I'll have to settle here.

Gan Fei glanced at the direction of the Qinhuai River, this demon hidden in the downtown area.

After making up his mind, Gan Fei immediately walked down from the city tower, and Dong Yao followed behind him, not knowing where the second senior brother was going.

"By the way, junior sister, how have you practiced this technique these days?" asked Gan Fei.

"Hee-hee, look. Dong Yao stopped Gan Fei, stretched out his palm and showed it in front of him under his gaze, and in an instant, the aura of his palm moved, and a blue flame appeared.

"Ah, when will you know this trick?" Gan Fei's jaw was almost closed, he knew that Dong Yao herself did not have spiritual power, that is, Chi Tang's body qi transmission, which made her a psychic person, but it was not the material for practicing the art of subduing demons, the question just now was mainly to ask her how she practiced the foundation of swordsmanship, but I didn't expect to see this result, although this hand blue flame is not a profound technique, but for Dong Yao, who has no spiritual power, it is simply incredible.

Seeing Gan Fei's surprised expression, Dong Yao proudly folded his palms, and Lan Yan'er disappeared: "Hehe, I didn't expect it, right? To tell you the truth, Senior Brother sent me and my junior brother to the old man Lingze in Xiuxuan Valley, and it was Grandpa Lingze who taught me this trick." By the way, Grandpa Lingze also passed on a lot of strange methods to the little junior brother, and the little junior brother is only now called amazing. ”

Gan Fei knew that he was a 10,000-year-old turtle immortal who cultivated Xuangu and meditated on the Tao, specializing in the art of knowing the heavens, and his ability to divinate the hexagram was unparalleled in the world, and he didn't think that the little junior sister and the little junior brother still had this opportunity, thinking that the Lingze Venerable Master had cultivated for 10,000 years, and there were many unknown supernatural powers, no wonder he could make a person without spiritual power use the method of Xuangong. Suddenly, it occurred to me that that night that Nanhai Yun Weeping Zhu had said that the little junior brother had the power of foreknowledge, and he was very strange at the time, but now it seems that it was also the work of the Venerable Master Lingze.

Ji Yao was in the Great Sima Mansion today, and he didn't come here with him, but Gan Fei was still very happy for this little junior brother, his background was very strange, his qualifications were excellent, if he got the guidance of the Venerable Lingze, he would definitely be able to cultivate like Senior Brother Chitangchi, and cultivate for a thousand miles in a day.

Gan Fei Ha Lu Ha smiled: "Very good, very good, I didn't expect you to have this experience, I don't have such a good fortune, Cheng, I see you little sister, in addition to the more beautiful people are, the ability is also getting bigger and bigger." ”...,

Dong Yao pretended to snort: "Hey, second senior brother, since you and Sister Mo, you have become more and more oily." But his heart rejoiced.

After a few words of laughter, Gan Fei continued to get to the point: "I remember that you are going to attend the wedding of the Jinping prince on March 15, right? In this way, let Yan Haozi fly to send you back to this hospital at night. ”

"I'm going back? I don't think I've had enough. Dong Yao pursed her mouth, this is the usual way of the third lady.

"Besides, you didn't tell Senior Brother them when you followed Yan Haozi this time, they must be very anxious, even if you know that you came to me, it's not good if you don't hear from me. When you go home in a while, you have a good rest for a while, and let Yan Haozi send you at night. Yu Mei and Lord Huan are gone, and I can't stay in Da Sima Mansion all the time, it's time to do my own thing. ”

"Yes. Dong Yao knew that what the second senior brother said was reasonable, put away the willfulness of the girl's family, and responded with the etiquette of the dry family.

"Shame on the dog. Gan Fei said to Wushi again, now that he has gone down to the city tower, there are already passers-by around him, Wushi naturally didn't dare to speak, so he could only respond with a vague whining, "You go there with me in a while, if you can, let's finish the matter there today." ”

"What's the matter?" Dong Yao saw Gan Fei's solemn words, and became curious again.

"There is also a demon hidden in this prosperous imperial capital, on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, he was lucky to let him run, he doesn't know how to restrain, these days he also appears frequently, this is a demon who has only eaten people, he can not spare him, so he must go before leaving Jiankang City, except for him!" Gan Fei whispered, and showed a look of pride in giving up on his face.
