Chapter 167: Celebration
Chang'an City.
A month has passed since the end of the Northern Expedition, and the winter that once made everyone frightened has passed, and the street trees next to the road are lush with leaves, and various flowers in the flower beds have begun to bloom, releasing the breath of spring.
Standing next to the road, Wang Mu tried her best to tiptoe to see the scenery in the distance, but there were crowds of people everywhere next to her, and she was small and couldn't see anything, so she had to pull the placket of her father's clothes next to her, and asked with a longing face.
"Daddy, has King Jin entered the city?"
Since she was born, she has been listening to her father tell Xiao Feng's legendary things, and when she went to school, what she learned was also a book specially compiled by Xiao Feng for women to study.
Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Wang Mu has always been quite curious about Xiao Feng.
It's a pity that she is just an ordinary woman, born in an ordinary family, and she can't see Xiao Feng anyway, but because she heard that in order to celebrate the victory of the Northern Expedition, the King of Jin plans to hold a welcome ceremony in the city, so she asked her father to bring her here overnight, just to see Xiao Feng's face.
Wang Chuanzhi touched Wang Mu's head and comforted: "Don't worry, it's still some time before noon, do you want me to buy you something to eat first?"
The shops along the street also sensed the business opportunities here, and prepared a lot of things in advance, from small flags to wave flags to snacks for people's stomachs.
The people on the side of the road were hungry and didn't want to leave, and of course they were happy to buy something to fill their stomachs.
"No!"
Touching her little belly, Wang Mu felt a burst of hunger in her belly, but when she saw the crowd around her, she shook her head and said, "It's not a big deal to be hungry, but if you don't have this position, you won't be able to see King Jin." ”
In order to be able to see the admirer at the nearest distance, Wang Mu had planned for a long time before choosing this position, and occupied it overnight, although there were many people who wanted to buy it with money, she also directly refused.
"Okay!"
Wang Chuanzhi had no choice but to let his daughter follow him.
"Bang!"
It's the sound of a gun salute.
Wang Mu was shocked, immediately jumped to his feet, and shouted: "Daddy, daddy, it's finally started!"
"Yes, it's finally begun. ”
Wang Chuanzhi felt a surge in the crowd around him, and suddenly felt a little stumbling under his feet, and it was easy to stabilize his body, and he also protected Wang Mu by his side, so as not to squeeze her away.
"Then when will King Jin come?"
Wang Mu couldn't tell whether it was because of the crowd or because she was too excited, her little face was flushed, and she looked extremely excited, she took her father's hand, wanting to know the situation.
"We'll have to wait a while!"
At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone shouted.
"It's coming, it's coming, King Jin is finally here. ”
"I didn't expect King Jin to be so young?"
"It's hard to imagine that King Jin is in his forties this year. ”
Hearing these words, Wang Mu became anxious and hurriedly shouted, "Daddy." Is King Jin already here? But why can't I see it?"
She tried her best to squeeze the wall in front of her out, but the wall was too crowded to squeeze through it anyway, and there was nothing in front of her except the thighs of everyone.
"Alas. I'll take you on your back and see. ”
Seeing Wang Mu's anxious face, Wang Chuanzhi bent down and motioned for Wang Mu to climb on his back.
Wang Mu pursed her lips, a little worried: "But Daddy, your body-" She also knew that Wang Chuanzhi was injured in the past, and his legs were not good, and it was already very fortunate to be able to bring himself here, if he wanted to be himself, how much more sin would he have to suffer?
"Hey. No matter how heavy you are, can you be heavier than a sack of rice? And this is a rare opportunity, do you want to give it up?" Wang Chuanzhi encouraged.
Wang Mu closed his head slightly and said, "Then thank you, Daddy!" Then she climbed onto her father's back, and two small hands clasped the solid shoulders that supported her and the whole family.
Wang Chuanzhi felt a little struggling, leaving a few drops of sweat on his forehead, this year's Wang Mu is already more than ten years old, and his body is much heavier than before, and he has also weakened a lot because of his age, and he is no longer the prime of life when he was young.
But in order to meet his daughter's wishes, Wang Chuanzhi gritted his teeth and worked hard to straighten his waist.
Wang Mu also noticed this, and he didn't dare to move, so he could only stay quietly on his back, and then try to raise his head and look into the distance.
"It's King Jin!"
A red figure entered his eyes, and Wang Mu felt that his soul was immediately grasped.
That high spirit, that proud posture, and that indomitable will, even if it is a book in the school, it is difficult to describe one or two.
At this moment, Wang Mu felt an inexplicable impulse welling up in his heart.
"One day, I will be like King Jin!"
The queue was still moving, and in addition to Xiao Feng, who was at the forefront, the soldiers who had fought bloodily were also displayed in front of their eyes.
In addition to the still strict and solemn military formation, there are some more people in it.
These people were bandaged, and their bodies were as disabled as Wang Chuanzhi, all of which were injured during the war, but with the support of their comrades-in-arms, they still held their heads high and did not show the slightest cowardice.
Let everyone know about the sacrifice of the Red Phoenix Army, which is also one of Xiao Feng's purposes.
Seeing these wounded, Wang Chuanzhi's heart darkened inexplicably, and his eyes became wet, but he remembered his past experience.
"Fortunately, the lord has not forgotten us, otherwise I am afraid that I would not be able to stand here. ”
Life is still difficult, and because of the disability, many things have all kinds of inconveniences.
But with the government's relief, he was still able to open a small shop, live a relatively stable life, and let his daughter, who was most important, study at China Women's College.
These, already good!
Wang Mu didn't know this, she just opened her eyes wide, and looked at all this in a daze, with those wounded people in her eyes, and she also remembered her father.
"If there is no King Jin, I am afraid that my father and I will not be able to stand here at all!"
In his heart, he longed for Xiao Feng even more, Wang Mu couldn't help waving his hands, and shouted together with the crowd next to him: "Come on, you must drive away those Tartars and calm the world!"
"Knock knock" sounded, it was the military band playing.
Their music matches the beat of the army, and being stained by the shouts is even more uplifting.
With the sound of gongs and drums, Xiao Feng's figure was getting closer and closer, and Wang Mu was getting more and more nervous, although he knew that he was just an ordinary child, and the other party should not notice him, but he still felt inexplicably nervous.
At this distance, she could already see Xiao Feng's every movement clearly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes were gentle, and every look made those people cheer.
At this time, the other party's eyes rolled, but they fell in his own direction.
Wang Mu felt suffocated for a while, as if his breathing had stopped, and there was only one thought in his mind: "King Jin, King Jin, she noticed me." But then when he saw the other party look away, he felt a little lost, "It seems that I am still too ordinary, and I can't be remembered by King Jin at all." After all, I'm just an ordinary little girl!"
His expression was a little gloomy, and Wang Mu said to his father under him: "Daddy, you better let me down." ”
"What's the matter? Isn't King Jin already here? Don't you want to see it?" Wang Chuanzhi was a little strange, after all, before this, Wang Mu had been entangled with him for a long time.
Wang Mu replied: "But Daddy, you are not in good health and can't last long, so let me come down." As he spoke, he was about to jump off Wang Chuanzhi.
But at this time, I don't know if it was because the crowd was too crowded, the person in front suddenly avoided it, and the person behind also hurriedly followed, and didn't notice that the person in front of him bumped into it directly. Wang Chuanzhi didn't stabilize his body and fell to the ground, and Wang Mu on his back was also thrown out directly and fell on the street.
There's a parade going on here, and if you collide with the formation, it's not a trivial matter.
Wang Chuanzhi was shocked, and as soon as he raised his head, he noticed the daughter who was crossing in front of the convoy.
Wang Mu also felt that the surroundings were empty, it turned out to be empty, she still felt a little dazed at the moment, just stood up and noticed the crowd on both sides, and immediately knew where she was, her whole head was empty, and she didn't know what to do.
"Are you alright?"
Turning his head, Wang Mu immediately noticed that the war horse behind him had stopped, and the woman in red above was looking at him with a concerned face.
She felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her whole body trembled, and she stammered a little.
"I, I'm fine!"
After all, it was the person she admired before, and now she appeared rashly in front of her and treated herself like this, which made her really scared.
Xiao Feng shook his head, turned over and got down from the war horse, hugged Wang Mu, pointed to the other party's knee, and said with a smile: "The knees are all broken, and you still say it's okay?" Just wiped the wound with his hand, and the original wound healed immediately, leaving no scar.
"That's it?"
Wang Mu blinked, looked down at his knees, confused.
Just a light touch, his injury is healed, if it is his father, is it possible to recover the lost leg?
"Of course, it's just that you should be careful not to fall and make your family sad in the future. Got it?" Xiao Feng looked kind, let go of Wang Mu, and let her stand up.
Although the convoy was temporarily blocked, she did not feel the slightest anger, this time the grand ceremony was a celebration of the whole city, there was no need to be covered with dust for this trivial matter.
Wang Mu nodded and replied vigorously: "I know!"
"By the way, what about your father?" Xiao Feng frowned slightly and looked around.
The person in front of him is only a teenager, and if there is no one to accompany him, he is afraid that something big will happen.
Wang Mu walked to the queue next to him, pointed at Wang Chuanzhi, and begged: "He is my father." It's a pity that because of the war, Daddy's leg is gone. If you can, I wonder if King Jin can heal my father's leg just like he healed my injury?"
Xiao Feng stared at it and saw that Wang Chuanzhi's left calf was empty, so he had to shake his head and reply: "I'm sorry, I can't!"
Healing injuries is still within the ability of the Pure Glass Flame, and it is easy to remove the damage of poison toxins, but the regeneration of the severed finger is not the ability of the Pure Glass Flame.
Wang Mu was a little lost, biting his lip, and his bright eyes were also clouded with a layer of fog.
"How so?"
In fact, when she saw those disabled soldiers, she also knew that there was little hope of curing her father's injuries.
But because she intersected with Xiao Feng by chance today, she had personally experienced the magical power of the other party, so she also wanted to seize this only opportunity to see if she could heal her father's injury.
Xiao Feng sensed the other party's low thoughts, stretched out his hand to touch Wang Mu's head, leaned over and replied with a smile: "I think the reason why your father is like this is to prevent you from being hurt in the same way. So, just love your father well, it's enough. ”
"I see!"
Although she knew that her father's injuries would not heal, Wang Mu saw the object of her longing appear in front of her, and she was so gentle with herself, which made her feel like she was immersed in a hot spring.
"That's good. So you've got to put your father at ease, you know?"
Seeing that the other party's mood had recovered, Xiao Feng also stood up straight, looked at Wang Chuanzhi, and said apologetically: "Look at your injury, it should be caused by a gunshot wound." I'm really sorry for the sacrifice you made for the Red Phoenix Army before. ”
With Xiao Feng's eyes, he naturally saw Wang Chuanzhi's injury at a glance, and also guessed the identity of the other party's car.
In respect of the retired soldiers, she did not spare her respect and paid tribute to the former soldier in front of her.
"No, King Jin. Where can I compare my little merit to the ranks? I'm really sorry to accept the salute rashly. ”
Wang Chuanzhi looked restrained, and his right hand was pulling Wang Mu, so as not to separate the two because of crowding, and in the face of Xiao Feng's greeting, he was more worried than happy.
"And King Jin, the dog girl was too tossed before, if there is something offended, I really can't help it. ”
"It's okay! I'm too late to be happy to have you here, where can I blame?"
Smiling, like a spring breeze.
"King Jin is so approachable, he will definitely be blessed. ”
Seeing Xiao Feng so gentle, everyone felt the same way, and there was a burst of cheers in their mouths again.
Xiao Feng pressed his hand again and again, which made everyone stop, but when he saw the people in the place surrounding him, he suddenly felt a little headache, and said in distress.
"It's just that this road is too crowded, so how can I go!"
She only stopped here for a moment, and the crowd blocked the entire street, leaving it to the soldiers next to her to maintain it, and it was impossible to ensure the smooth progress of the march.
Xiao Fengda can leave in the air, but this is the time for the celebration, and it is not good to leave easily.
The group also noticed the situation here, and retreated to the sides with a sneer, and soon the blocked street was restored to its previous unobstructed appearance.
The entire military array also returned to its previous appearance, and the military music played again also made everyone excited to appreciate this rare grand scene.
