Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 66 Li Lang is mighty

The sky is blue for thousands of miles, and the winter sun hangs high.

Today is the day of Daqi’s military parade. Da Qi founded the country by force. Over the past three hundred years since the founding of the country, the triennial military parade has been a tradition of Da Qi in the past dynasties.

 To test the military strength and demonstrate the national prestige, this is a major event that attracts the attention of everyone from the princes and generals to the people of Qi Dynasty.

In the vast expanse of territory outside Chang'an City, 300,000 heavily armored elite soldiers were waiting like an endless black tide, reflecting the cold metallic light of the rising sun.

 A huge handsome flag with the character "李" inlaid with black tiger stripes was fiercely facing the wind.

At the front of the team, there is a person in the lead, wearing a gold helmet, silver armor, black cloak, holding a silver spear with twelve peaks, and his body is as straight as a sword. It is Li Ling.

This is the most elite army in Da Qi - the Patrol Division. It is the last barrier to defend the imperial city and the most solid armor for the imperial power.

Li Ling is the commander of this team.

Accompanied by the loud horn sound, thousands of drummers waved their drum hammers at the same time, and the rumble of the drums resounded through the silent sky.

The exciting drum beat sounded, and the silence between heaven and earth suddenly returned.

Li Ling dismounted, knelt on one knee, and gave a military salute to Emperor Ming in the imperial city.

Emperor Ming, who stood on the high platform of the city gate and wore a bright yellow dragon robe, announced the start of the military parade.

Li Ling stood up and faced the beacon tower ahead. He took the iron bow from the deputy general, took the rocket, put on the bow and drew the sword, his movements were smooth and neat.

With the sound of the whistle, the rocket rushed straight towards the beacon tower without any deviation. In an instant, the beacon tower was ignited with raging fire.

"Great Qi is mighty! Great Qi is mighty! Great Qi is mighty!" Hundreds of thousands of soldiers held swords and halberds, and their shouts resounded through the sky.

After the prelude, there is a real weapon drill, including cavalry, infantry, crossbowmen, and death squads.

In an instant, the sky was filled with yellow sand outside Chang'an City. Under the command of Li Ling, this most elite army was strict and disciplined, with orders and prohibitions. These passionate men spent every sweat and blood to show their strength and passion in front of the emperor and the people.

The main platform of the city wall, which is hundreds of meters high, is covered with clouds, and the emperor, queen, concubines, and princes and princesses are sitting there. The princes, generals, ministers and ministers were located on the left and right sides of the main platform in sequence according to the monuments. The northern and southern sides of the city wall that stretched for thousands of miles were crowded with people watching the military parade.

The seat of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is next to the main stage, which has the best view besides the high platform. Jing Shu is sitting on the seat, and every heroic posture of Li Lingli commanding thousands of troops under the city can be completely seen. In her eyes.

Not only Jingshu, but almost all the girls in Chang'an City had their eyes on him today.

This is the youngest commander in Daqi's military parade. He is young, heroic and high-spirited.

Including one of the group of princesses under the gorgeous canopy on the royal high platform, her wet eyes were fixed on the most dazzling figure on the field.

“Second uncle is so mighty!” Brother Kun, who was sandwiched between Xu Wanning and Jing Shu, looked at Li Ling on the court and clapped his hands and cheered.

Xu Wanning smiled and touched her son's head: "When you grow up, will you be as powerful as your second uncle?"

Brother Kun grinned, nodded to his mother and said, "I want to be a general when I grow up, just like my second uncle."

Xu Wanning touched her son's head happily. After listening to her great-grandson's words, the old lady sitting in the first place looked at him lovingly and said with a smile: "When Kun'er grows up, we should be more powerful than your second uncle."

Xu Wanning smiled and said to her son: "In two years, mother will ask Brother Kun to have a martial arts master teach you kung fu so that you can become a general in the future."

Li Xian sat next to Xu Wanning and rolled his eyes at him when he heard this.

Xu Wanning noticed the glare coming from her side and turned her head to look back fiercely.

Li Xian whispered in a voice that only the two of him could hear: "What is good about learning kung fu or wielding a sword? My son will naturally become the chief minister and prime minister in the future, and become a famous minister whose name will go down in history. "

Xu Wanning glanced at him sideways and snorted: "It's a shame to be a civil servant. He's full of frivolous things. He doesn't look like a man at all."

Li Xian stared at her and whispered: "Can you speak more politely?"

Xu Wanning's eyes widened: "That's it, mom. If you don't like hearing it, get out of here immediately and go back to find that foxy Niwai."

Li Xian's face turned livid with anger. He was afraid of quarreling with her in front of everyone, so he shut his mouth angrily. Seeing that he was finally defeated by her, Xu Wanning shook her head slightly, and finally showed a smug smile on her face.

It took Li Xian a while to calm down. He looked at his wife and said patiently: "How long are you going to end your quarrel with me?"

Xu Wanning sneered: "If you strangle that **** to death with your own hands in front of me, I might consider giving you a good face."

Li Xian said angrily: "It's simply unreasonable."

Xu Wanning gave him a hard look, snorted and turned away.

Li Xian said helplessly: "It's not like you don't know that Mei Niang was given by the emperor. I..."

Before Li Xian could finish speaking, Xu Wanning grabbed the opportunity and said, "If you don't want to let go, just say you can't let go. Don't make excuses for me."

The two were bickering here when a female official came down from the high platform and slowly walked towards the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.

Holding a gift box, she walked up to the old lady and gave her a gift. She said, "I have been ordered by the Ninth Princess to send a gift to the prince's wife. I hope the old lady will be accommodating."

The old lady asked with concern: "How is the princess doing lately?"

The female officer replied: "The princess is well now."

 The old lady heard that her granddaughter was well, with a happy smile on her face.

The female officer continued: "The princess said that when the prince got married, she was living in the inner palace and could not come to the palace to watch the ceremony, so she ordered the maid to send a gift to the lady to express her feelings."

The old lady replied: "The princess is interested. In that case, you can send it over." As she said that, the old lady winked at Aunt Xu beside her.

Mother Xu understood and stepped forward to lead the female officer towards Jing Shu.

Jingshu and the old lady were sitting not too far away. She naturally heard what the female officer said to the old lady just now.

The female officer was led by Nanny Xu to Jingshu and repeated what she had just said to the old lady.

Since she is a female official in the palace, her etiquette is naturally thorough. Although she always lowers her head respectfully in front of Jingshu, her eyes are looking at Jingshu carefully from time to time.

Jingshu said a few polite words, ordered someone to take the gift, and replied calmly: "Thank you, Ninth Princess."

After the female official left, Xu Wanning on the side whispered to Jingshu through Brother Kun covering her mouth: "The emperor's cousin has never liked to deal with others. You just married into the house and you have never met her. It's not possible." I think she really cares about you."

As she spoke, she quietly pulled Jingshu's sleeves: "Open it and take a look, what is it?"

Jingshu took the box under the table and opened it, and found a set of words.

She unfolded it and looked at it, and the writing was: Qin Shi Mingyue and Han Shiguan, and the people who marched thousands of miles have not yet returned. But the flying generals of Dragon City are here, and Hu Ma is not taught to cross the Yin Mountain.

It is not an authentic work by a famous artist, the handwriting is soft, but it looks like it was written by her herself.

Xu Wanning stretched her neck, glanced at it and asked, "What kind of poem is this?"

Jingshu put away her words and said calmly: "Writing about war."

Xu Wanning muttered to herself in confusion: "This delicate imperial cousin, why did I give you such a poem?"

yes! She is not a general, and she does not have to protect her family and country, so this is naturally not something she is sincerely given to her.

Jingshu raised her eyes and looked towards the high platform, where there was also a pair of heavy eyes looking towards this place.
