Chapter 60: Expedition!

The red sun is rising, the sky has just brightened, but the whole capital has been lively, and the people of the whole city have rushed to the triumphal arch outside the city early.

The Arc de Triomphe, every time the army goes out, it starts from here, and it has the meaning of triumphant return!

Xiao Wuxian got up early and hurried to the Arc de Triomphe. Although Xiao Tianhe had already said that he didn't need to send it, how could he listen to it.

Today is the day of the march, and as soon as they arrive on the outskirts of the city, the exciting sound of trumpets is heard in their ears. A majestic momentum rushed straight into the sky, and it seemed that even the clouds in the sky were scattered by this momentum.

Outside the city gate, there was a sea of people and a lot of voices!

Fathers send their sons, wives to their husbands, and children to their fathers. I don't know if I live or die, and countless people shed tears and looked at their relatives with eager eyes.

And the neatly arranged soldiers, with neat military appearances, looked at their parents, wives and children with burning eyes, and their eyes were slightly red. But no one wept, and no one spoke, because they knew that to defend the country was to defend their loved ones.

The wind was cold, the military flag was unfurled, and the hunt sounded in the wind. A cloud of dust was stirred, and the whistling wind accompanied by a loud horn played a majestic marching song.

200,000 soldiers clenched their spears in their hands, and the bright tips of their spears shone brightly in the sunlight. Every weapon, every set of armor, was bright and dazzling, which their parents, wives and children had personally wiped before the expedition.

The aura of slaughter suddenly arises, so that the entire suburbs are shrouded in slaughter! However, in the midst of this slaughter, people can't help but boil their blood and emotions!

Emperor Daimyo Shenzong stood on the triumphal arch, and at this moment he was not wearing a golden silk dragon robe, but a golden dragon pattern armor, like a mighty general.

Zhu Yujun looked at the soldiers in the audience with solemn eyes, and said loudly, "Soldiers, today you are going out for the Ming Empire, I, Zhu Yujun, thank you, these three glasses of wine are for you!"

After speaking, he took three glasses of wine from the hands of his entourage and drank them all. The 200,000 soldiers in the audience applauded in unison, the sound shook the world and the momentum was majestic.

Xiao Wuxian and Ling Yunxi rode side by side on the dirt slope in the south of the city at this time, looking at the ruler of the Ming Empire from a distance. couldn't help but nod slightly, this kind of bearing is indeed not something that ordinary people can have, and a simple sentence has shortened the distance between him and the soldiers.

Zhu Yujun pressed down with both hands and signaled everyone to be quiet. "You are all warriors of the Ming Empire, heroes of the Ming Empire, and on the day of your triumph, I, Zhu Yujun, are here to set up a celebration wine for you, looking forward to your triumphant return!"

"Return triumphantly, return triumphantly......" The shouts were endless for a while, rushing and surging like a landslide and tsunami.

All the ceremonies, all the precepts were completed last night, and today is just for the expedition. After Zhu Yujun finished speaking, Xiao Tianhe and Ling Jing waved their hands at the same time and shouted, "Go out!"

With the sound of a high horn, the 200,000 troops lined up and saluted their relatives in unison. Follow without hesitation to turn the direction and stride forward.

Under the leadership of Xiao Tianhe and Ling Jing, the two teams of soldiers and horses marched towards the distance in a mighty way, like two divine dragons rushing forward, and the loud horn sounded all the way.

The saddest thing is parting, and the saddest thing in the past and present is to see your relatives go on the expedition. Because this is likely to be the final farewell. Many people tried to hold back their tears, but the tears still fell.

Ling Yunxi was already crying like a tearful person at this time, Xiao Wuxian reached out and held her weak and boneless jade hand and said, "Don't be sad, your father and my grandfather will definitely come back victoriously, we have to believe them!"

Although he said this, Xiao Wuxian did not have a bottom in his heart, the armor on Xiao Tianhe and Ling Jing's bodies could not be broken unless they were peerless divine soldiers. On the battlefield, the sword is difficult to hurt, this is not worrying, he is worried about what role Lou Wailou plays in this war.

If Louwailou made a move against Xiao Tianhe and Ling Jing, even if the two of them were wearing peerless battle armor, it would be useless. In front of the absolute master, all external objects seem so powerless.

In the center of the city tower, Zhu Yujun, who was dressed in armor, stood there quietly like a sculpture. With his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the army that was gradually moving away.

"Please, the future of the Ming Empire is in your hands"

The horses galloped, the dust flew, and the mighty army gradually moved away under the gaze of everyone. The loud sound of the horn came from afar, touching the hearts of countless people.

By the time the sun was rising, hundreds of thousands of troops had already disappeared from everyone's sight. However, hundreds of thousands of people are still looking forward to it, and although they are no longer visible, they are still reluctant to leave.

Ling Yunxi, who had already stopped crying, saw the old man in the distance crying at this time, and the tears couldn't help but flow down again, and hugged Xiao Wuxian and cried.

Xiao Wuxian could only comfort lightly, sometimes Ling Yunxi was very rude. But she is still a little girl in her bones, if Ling Jing really has three strengths and two weaknesses, she may be his only reliance.

As time went on, hundreds of thousands of people began to leave. The relatives have already left, and there is no way to give up even if they are reluctant.

"Hey, let's go too!" Yu Ziqian sighed softly, his eyes full of worry.

Xiao Wuxian turned his head to look at him and said, "What, you seem to have a lot on your mind?"

"Your life will be difficult in the future," Yu Ziqian said meaningfully.

"What do you mean by that?" was asked by Hua Liuliu.

Zhu Youzhu said lightly, "This is not simple, your backer in the military has already left." Those eunuch children who are usually afraid of Generalissimo Xiao and Marshal Ling, how can they make you feel better!"

Xiao Wuxian immediately understood that the military generals of Wenchen had been very bad since ancient times. Originally, they were all loyal ministers of the court, but they were all in the same situation.

In the eyes of the generals, those civil servants are just some literary crepes, who know it all day long, and they are sour and rotten literati who talk at length. In the eyes of Wenchen, the generals are all rude and rude reckless, and it is strange that the two can get along.

Yu Ziqian sighed and said, "You'd better be careful recently, without the protection of the military." Liu Jin's people will definitely make trouble for you! Don't think I'm alarmist, the current situation is really unfavorable to you. ”

"How do you say that?" Hua Liuliu still didn't understand.

"In the past, every time they went on an expedition, Marshal Ling and Marshal Xiao would only send one person at most. The remaining one will stay in the capital, in order to protect the military's family and children. Now that the two of them are on the expedition at the same time, it can be said that the children of the military have no protection, and those children of Wenchen will definitely take the opportunity to find trouble," Yu Ziqian patiently explained.

Xiao Wuxian nodded slightly, what Yu Ziqian said was indeed very reasonable. Both Xiao Tianhe and Ling Jing have god-like status in the imperial military, and they can naturally protect the military's family members from bullying.

If Wenchen and the military generals do not deal with each other, the descendants of the Wenchen and the military generals will naturally not deal with each other. It's just that Yu Ziqian is an exception, this is also related to his grandfather Yu Mian, Yu Mian and the right prime minister do not deal with each other, and even Yu Ziqian and Liu Jin and a group of people are also on the same page, so they can only throw themselves into the camp of Xiao Wuxie, Hua Liuliu and others.

"Look, trouble is coming," Zhu Youzhu shook his head and said.

Everyone followed his eyes, and sure enough, they saw a group of people riding high-headed horses and showing off their might. These people were all gorgeously dressed, and their eyes were full of provocation.

The leader is Liu Jin, the grandson of the current right prime minister, and he is followed by Wang Jie, the grandson of the Ministry of Rites, Yan Shifan, the son of the Hubu Shangshu, Shi Baoyu, the son of Dali Siqing, and Song Gaopan, the grandson of the Taishi of the dynasty.

The corners of Xiao Wuxie's mouth twitched, and a strange look flashed in his eyes!

"I originally wanted to stay a little longer, a few flies came, it's really a disappointment, let's go" Xiao Wuxian said lightly, turning the horse's head and leaving.

He didn't deliberately suppress his voice, and Liu Jin and the others naturally heard it clearly. Hearing this, everyone was angry, only to hear Liu Jin shout, "Xiao Wuxie, who do you say is a fly?"

Xiao Wuxian ignored him at all, turned to Ling Yunxi and the others and said, "I haven't seen anyone think they are flies, it's better for me to have less contact with such a fierce person!"

Yu Ziqian's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, but Hua Liuliu said, "That's it, we can't touch such a fierce person, and those who don't know still think we are pooping!"

Liu Jin and the others showed a fierce light in their eyes, and Yan Shifan's eyes were even more murderous. Last time, he asked Qian Shaoming to find trouble with Xiao Wuxie, but Qian Shaoming died in an unknown manner, and he was beaten by the second prince Zhu Youji, and he didn't get out of bed for half a month.

"Yu Ziqian, this matter today has nothing to do with you, hurry up and leave here, otherwise don't blame us for being unkind to you" Song Gaopan gritted his teeth and said.

Yu Ziqian sneered, "Hmph, you're not welcome to me, why are you just, just because your grandfather is a court master?"

Liu Jin snorted coldly, "Yu Ziqian, don't be ignorant, how can you say that we are also in the civil and official system, you are actually mixed with the children of military generals, it is really embarrassing for us!"

"Hmph, I didn't expect you bunch of wastes to have such a sense of superiority. If there were no soldiers fighting desperately at the border to defend the country. Where did you come from, you are not grateful, and you dare to speak out here, it is simply shameless," Zhu Youzhu said with a look of disdain.

He is neither the military nor the government, but he can't help but scold angrily at this time. This point made Xiao Wuxie, Hua Liuliu and others impressed.

Because they know Zhu Youzhang's situation, although he is a prince, he has no status at all. Even some eunuchs in the palace who were a little full of strength, the palace maids didn't take him seriously. At this time, he was able to stand up and speak, which moved Xiao Wuxian and Hua Liuliu very much.
