Chapter 113 Departure
When Jiang An climbed up the tall building on the side of the martial arts training ground again, 50,000 elite soldiers had already gathered.
The wind blew up dust and also brought a faint smell of blood.
In the martial arts training ground, 50,000 soldiers stood silently, leaving only the sound of armor rubbing against scabbards...
On the high building, Hu Yan, who was still polite, was accompanying Jiang Yizhou. Huo Lang put down the dumpling, clasped his hands together and saluted, "Greetings, Second Prince."
Jiang Yizhou nodded slightly, "General Huo, please don't be polite."
He looked at Tuanzi, surprise flashing in his eyes, "An An is going too?"
Jiang An nodded his head and held his little face, "Dad said An An can follow, there's nothing I can do, An An is so cute~"
Jiang Yizhou's face was warm, and his words were polite and intimate, "It's okay for An An to go with you. The emperor's uncle is busy with the war, and I can also take care of sister An An."
Hu Yan put away his folding fan, and a dark light flashed in his eyes. The Second Prince meant to tell these soldiers that Jiang An, as the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Palace, was ignoring the prince's busy battles and still wanted to follow him?
And who was he pretending to be so generous for? Did their young lady still need him to take care of her?
Don’t even think about whether the prince will neglect the young lady. Among these 50,000 royal guards, any one of them will be able to take good care of this little ancestor!
The emperor's imperial palace, the best teacher in the world, the most luxurious palace, but what it supports is such a villain who only cares about gaining benefits with his mouth!
"Your Highness, don't worry about An An. The prince treats her like a treasure and will not neglect her."
"Besides, there are 50,000 royal troops on the battlefield. Who dares to touch my young lady?"
Although Hu Yan is a scholar, his words are powerful and full of pride and arrogance.
Jiang Yizhou's expression changed slightly, and the servants behind him looked at him with eyes as sharp as knives, wishing to torture this unruly person to death...
Hu Yan was protective of his son, and Jiang An was no less so. She couldn't even see the verbal tug-of-war between the two, but she could see the servant's ill intentions.
Tuanzi put one hand on his waist and glared, "Why are you looking at the old fox like that?"
She took another step forward, baring her white teeth, "I'm talking to you! Lower your head, An An saw it too!"
She was like a little beast, running straight over, "Do you want to fight?!"
The attendant bowed and lowered his posture, "My lady, please understand, I have not..."
Jiang Yizhou leaned to the side to block the attendant. After being humiliated repeatedly, his eyes were cold, "An An is young, maybe you saw it wrong."
Tuanzi puffed up his cheeks, and was picked up by Huo Lang, flapping his hands and feet restlessly.
Listening to Jiang Yizhou turning black into white, she narrowed her eyes, trying to engrave the appearance of this servant in her mind.
She's going to hold a grudge!
Hu Yan smiled and stood beside Huo Lang, coaxing the angry little ancestor gently, "The prince will offer sacrifices to heaven and earth on the high platform in a while, An An, do you want to watch?"
Her father?
Jiang An said softly: "An An wants to see it!"
Huo Lang stood at the edge of the wall of the tall building. Taking advantage of his height, Tuanzi had a panoramic view of the dense black armor on the training ground.
The old fox took up his wide sleeves, reached out and stroked the hairband on An An's hair, and gently advised: "An An, remember, even if you leave Chongzhou, don't easily conflict with the Second Prince."
He knows this vengeful little guy too well...
The Second Prince appears to be as gentle as a gentleman, but he has been suppressed by the Queen Mother and the First Prince for many years in the Imperial City, so he has a sinister temperament. Tuanzi is still young, and he is worried that the Second Prince is up to something sinister.
Tuanzi pouted, "Even His Highness has to be reasonable!"
Wrong is wrong. Even if the king comes, he is still wrong!
He is His Highness, and she still has a father, huh!
She muttered, "How about he call his father as well?"
Hu Yan shook his head helplessly, "You!"
"Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Four drum beats sounded. On the high platform, soldiers carried pigs and sheep as sacrifices to heaven and earth and placed them on both sides. In the middle was a huge four-cornered bronze tripod.
Jiang Jichen, the commander-in-chief, was dressed in armor. He handed the Longyuan sword to Guan Yan and walked forward holding three incense sticks.
Seeing that An An was looking at it seriously, Hu Yan taught her the military ceremony of offering sacrifice to heaven and earth. "The military ceremony of offering sacrifice to heaven and earth is divided into five ceremonies, and each of the five ceremonies is different..."
"The etiquette of the master, the etiquette of the great equal... the etiquette of the great enfeoffment, among which the etiquette of the master is to fight for the country, the king goes out to fight, the army's behavior and movements have their own etiquette..."
(Note: "Zhou Li·Chun Guan·Da Zong Bo" records: "The ceremony of the master is to use the masses; the ceremony of the great equality is to care for the masses; the ceremony of the great land is to select the masses; the ceremony of the great labor is to entrust the masses; the ceremony of the great enfeoffment is to unite the masses.")
"Well, An An knows. Dad went to the battle for Nan Shang, not for his own benefit, so this is a gift from the master!"
This is what dad said!
An An remembers it all!
Huo Lang smacked his lips and smiled innocently, "Miss is smarter than me!"
When Hu Yan first told him the story, he asked the old fox if he could speak human language.
When he mentioned the past events, Hu Yan rolled his eyes at him. How dare he bring it up?
After offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, Jiang Jichen stood facing the 50,000 royal soldiers, unsheathed the Longyuan in his hand, and the wind blew up his robe.
"Shang and Nanzhao have started a war, our Nanshang border has been frequently disturbed, and the people have no peace!"
"Today, I, the king, will wear armor with you all to suppress the two countries, just to protect the peace of our country!"
His eyebrows and eyes were fierce, and there was a murderous aura around him.
Jiang Jichen was a man of few words, but he had the courage to live and die with his soldiers. With just two sentences, the shouts in the martial arts training ground shook the sky...
A gentleman will die for his confidant, let alone mourn for him!
He raised his sword high, "The king's army, in black armor, is invincible!"
The soldiers raised their weapons high and echoed: "The king's army, in black armor, is invincible!"
Even Tuanzi on the high-rise building wanted to join them at this moment and shouted, "Fuck him!"
The trumpet sounded, the flag of the King's Guard Army was hoisted high, and the troops set out!
Xie Yunshan left first with 5,000 cavalrymen.
Hu Yan led An An towards the prince, looking at the young generals' team in the yellow sand, and was a little worried, "Does the prince really trust General Xie to be the vanguard?"
Although Xie Yunshan was a member of the National Protection Army, he never participated in the war...
Jiang Jichen lowered his head to look at the pendant on his leg, his brows softened, "Don't worry, he can do it."
If he can't, he will be a playboy in Kyoto for the rest of his life...
"I'll leave Chongzhou to you and Huo Lang. Huo Lang is reckless, so you should encourage him more."
Hu Yan chuckled and agreed, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there are still 220,000 royal guards in Chongzhou, so nothing will happen."
As long as these people are not crazy, they will not rashly provoke this land.
"Ah."
Jiang Jichen picked up his daughter, and her soft face pressed against his. Her half-curved eyes were shining with admiration for her father...
Jiang An's carriage was placed in the center of the army, because it didn't want to look too ugly, and Jiang Yizhou's carriage was right behind her.
The Akabane Army he brought with him followed at the end of the team, and couldn't even get close to the food and supplies...
Far out in the city, the governor and a group of common people were waiting here early. They all carried large baskets in their hands, which contained shoes sewn by women, dry food, and eggs that they were reluctant to eat...
They looked at these soldiers as if they were their own children, and kept persuading them to eat more... take more... and come back soon...
The governor heard that Shoushi was standing on the ridge of the field.
The old man, with silver hair, bowed from a distance and said, "I hope Your Majesty will return home soon."
Jiang An got out of the carriage, smiling, "Look, crops are growing in this wasteland."
In May, the wheat gradually matured and the suburbs became a sea of green. The black-armored soldiers shuttled through this land of hope.
