Great Tang princess

Chapter 438 New Year's Eve
This was the first time Wang Wuzhi met Li Yuechen.

Since Auntie became Her Royal Highness's guard a few years ago, he often pestered her and asked about the princess.

It is no exaggeration to say that ever since Li Yuechen became famous in the battle against Tubo at the age of fourteen, her legend began to spread in the army, and gradually, she became the target that warriors all over the world looked up to.

Later in the war with the Turks, she defeated the number one warrior on the grassland with her bare hands, which made her legend evolve into many versions.

The most important reason for this is that even the soldiers who have seen her with their own eyes often use some exaggerated descriptions when they mention it to others.

Those soldiers often said that she was more than ten feet tall, her arms were as strong as a cow, and other languages.

It's not that they like to exaggerate, the main reason is that no one will believe otherwise.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be hard to believe that the mighty and powerful Princess Taiping was a tall, ordinary looking woman.

So much so that even though Wang Wuzhi later heard that his sister said that the princess was very good-looking, he always had a skeptical expression on his face.

And he didn't dare to ask his father Wang Xiaojie, after all it was a taboo to talk about the princess's appearance in private.

Before entering the door today, he had been thinking that the princess who came first should at least be a tall and powerful person.

But after seeing it with his own eyes, he was stunned for a moment because of the huge contrast with his impression.

Skin like fat, eyes like stars!
This is the most appropriate way to describe it that Wang Wuzhi can think of right now.

The princess in front of her has fair skin, a pair of big black eyes and bright, straight eyebrows, she looks very heroic.

But the facial features were put together so close to perfection that she could see heroism and a hint of obsequiousness at the same time.

Wang Wuzhi is sure that if she pulls away the red ribbon that tied her hair at this time, letting her black and smooth hair hang down, she will definitely be much more beautiful than any woman he has ever seen in his life!
For a moment, he didn't know how to describe the scene in front of him, but it seemed that everything in his sight had faded away, only this person remained.

……

Seeing his son frozen in place, Wang Xiaojie lowered his head to take a look, just in time to see his obsessively staring at the princess in front of him.

He suddenly raised his hand and slapped his son on the head.

"oops!"

Wang Wuzhi, who was hit on the head, yelled, fell forward unsteadily, and subconsciously fell on Li Yuechen's desk, his chin made a muffled sound when he hit the desk.

"Bastard!" Wang Xiaojie took two quick steps and came to the front, grabbed him by the back of his collar and scolded angrily, "How dare you stare at Your Highness like this!"

While talking, he carried him back, raised his head and said: "Please forgive me, Your Highness! This subordinate will kill this traitor!"

While saying ha, he actually pulled out the ax from the holster on his leg and was about to chop down!

"Hey hey... Old Wang stop!"

Li Yuechen hastily opened his mouth to stop, stretched out his hand to support the table and jumped out from behind, snatching the ax in his hand.

"What's the meaning of this, what's the point of killing my son!"

"How dare this traitor..."

"Okay!" Li Yuechen waved his hand to stop him, "My boss is so good-looking, it's normal to be stunned for a while, no problem!"

While speaking, Li Yuechen couldn't help but feel a little awkward. Although he was telling the truth, he still felt a sense of boasting when he said it.

Wang Xiaojie saluted: "Thank Your Highness for not killing me!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and slapped his son again: "You bastard! Still don't thank you?"

Wang Wuzhi also knew that he had made a mistake, so he covered his head obediently and saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing me!"

"Well, forget it this time, don't stare at the woman like this in the future." Li Yuechen smiled, "Especially in the army, you must pay attention to military appearance and discipline, and don't discredit the army."

"Yes! This subordinate understands!" Wang Wuzhi imitated Qian Niuwei's appearance and raised his arms to salute.

Li Yuechen smiled: "This military salute, go back and study hard, you don't have any energy!"

Wang Wuqiong on the side also heaved a sigh of relief, he never imagined that his younger brother would be so bold as to dare to stare straight at His Highness, it was almost fatal!
In this era, in the face of superiors, staring at someone means intending to assassinate the king, and it is really possible to beheaded, and sometimes it can even be punished together with the crime of treason.

When people around Li Yuechen talk to Li Yuechen, they seldom meet her eyes, and even if they do, they will leave immediately.

Except for Shangguan Wan'er, no one dared to look directly into her eyes for a long time.

Although Li Yuechen himself didn't care much about this, he didn't deliberately say that the royal family is the royal family after all, and some scores should still be put on display.

"Okay, today's New Year's Eve, I plan to let the remaining soldiers touch the grenade today, so let's go to have fun together." Li Yuechen got up and waved his hands.

Wang Xiaojie quickly agreed, and followed her to the training ground.

……

Geng Yunqiang had already brought the remaining soldiers to gather here. It happened to be a large piece of wasteland, and it also looked like there was no grass, which was just right for the explosion training ground.

The soldiers gathered here to discuss in whispers.

It is not only them who gathered here today, but also the female soldiers who are not usually seen, right next to them, also standing in a square formation.

These female soldiers are wearing black military uniforms, which means that they do not belong to the navy, and they should be on Qianniuwei's side in the future.

The soldiers couldn't help but be a little curious. Usually these female soldiers are elusive and rarely see them. I don't know why they all gathered today.

In fact, it was Li Yuechen's decision not to let them meet. These girls will all enter the palace to become the emperor's personal bodyguards in the future. It is really not suitable for them to fall in love with the soldiers here or spread any rumors.

If you get too close and something happens, it will be quite troublesome to deal with.

Li Yuechen came over after a while, and after greeting Geng Yunqiang, he turned to Wang Wuqiong and said, "Want to play?"

Although Wang Wuqiong is a girl, but with an old man like Wang Xiaojie, his bones are full of violent factors, so he nodded vigorously.

"Then you come and demonstrate it to them." Li Yuechen waved his hand, went to the chair next to him and sat down, letting them play by themselves.

Geng Yunqiang came to the soldiers and explained: "After the Chinese New Year, you will come into contact with a brand new weapon. The first emperor named it the palm god Xiaolei. You can also call it a grenade or a grenade. Today, first Let's see how to use this thing. Next, Wang Weiwei will demonstrate it, applaud!"

"Papa papa..." The soldiers applauded in unison, and Wang Wuqiong, who stood at the front, was also quite embarrassed.

But she quickly recovered, took out a grenade from the box next to it, and explained loudly: "This thing will explode after being ignited and thrown out, so as to kill the enemy! When it is actually used, it must be covered with a layer Prefabricated fragments, but today it was just a demonstration, so I removed it... It's good, you must throw it out as soon as possible after it is ignited, otherwise you will be gone!"

After speaking, he took out the torch and lit the fuse on it.

After igniting it, it stayed in his hand for two seconds before Wang Wuqiong shook his hand violently and threw the lit grenade out.

The bamboo tube drew an arc in the air and fell towards the training ground, but before it hit the ground, there was a flash of fire, followed by a loud bang.

The bamboo tube that hadn't landed on the ground immediately exploded after flashing, and the huge explosion sound spread through the air, which shocked many soldiers, and they all shivered.

A few people even failed to control themselves, and sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the fragments of bamboo tubes that fell on the ground on the training ground.

The buzzing in their ears gradually became smaller, and only then did the soldiers react, and they all turned their heads in surprise to look at the neatly stacked bamboo tubes in the box.

Many people's eyes are shining with anticipation, and they can't wait to try it out.

Li Yuechen next to her smiled. The sound of the explosion reminded her of a kind of firecracker in the future, called Er Tijiao. The sound of the explosion was almost the same as the current grenade.

Geng Yunqiang took two steps forward and said in a loud voice: "I have seen it clearly. This thing is extremely dangerous. If you don't handle it properly, you will hurt yourself! You must pay more attention to it when training in the future..."

After talking about the safety rules for a while, let the soldiers line up and everyone come up to try.

The soldiers were waiting for his words, they lined up immediately, received the grenades in batches, ignited them and threw them out, followed by continuous explosions.

This place is very empty, and the sound can travel far. From the first explosion, there has been a commotion in the nearby fishing village.

Some people think that it is the appearance of the god of the mountain or the dragon king, so they knelt down at home to worship, and they still muttered words.

There were also some courageous ones who walked out of the house directly, walked out of the house, and walked in the direction of the explosion, wanting to see what happened.

It's just that before arriving at the place, he was stopped by patrol soldiers arranged by Geng Yunqiang in advance and told them that the front was a military restricted area and they could not go forward.

As for the explosion sound, just get used to it. After the New Year, it will be heard every three to five times, so don't worry.

……

The remaining soldiers each had two grenades. After throwing them, they watched other comrades throw them, and gave pointers on how to throw them farther from time to time.

The female soldiers didn't pull it down either, each of them threw two rounds, watching the ground being blasted with radial scorched marks, smelling the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, and there was a hearty smile on their faces.

In fact, people have a desire to destroy in nature. Such a thing is really exciting to most people, as if nothing can't be solved after throwing one out.

If so, throw a few more!

It took a full half an hour for all the soldiers to finish throwing the two grenades. After the assembly, many people still looked unsatisfied.

Geng Yunqiang stood in front of the team and said loudly: "Maybe you don't know, in the future each of your classes will have a full-time grenadier! According to your performance just now, some people do have this talent. There will be other grenadiers in the future." The test will finally determine who will become the full-time grenadier in the class..."

Listening to his words, many soldiers looked at each other, and then secretly regretted.

If I knew I shouldn't have thrown it too much just now, if I could throw it a little farther, maybe I could become a grenadier, right?

Geng Yunqiang didn't tell them too much, and directly changed the topic: "Okay, today's New Year's Eve, we will rest in the afternoon, have a party in the evening, and disband!"

……

Watching the soldiers leave gradually, Li Yuechen turned his head with a smile: "Okay, the sudden attack is a good way to play now!"

"Your Highness is absurd, this is what I learned from His Highness..." Geng Yunqiang replied with some embarrassment.

"Hahaha...Okay, it's great to be able to apply what you've learned!" Li Yuechen stood up smiling, "At the party tonight, as a senior colonel, you should come and make a head start! You can't refuse!"

After speaking, he walked away with a smile on his face, leaving only Geng Yunqiang with wide-eyed eyes stunned.

"Your Highness, isn't it appropriate for me to perform?" Geng Yunqiang stretched out his hand and asked.

"It's very suitable!" Li Yuechen smiled as he walked back, "Our army is one of the officers and soldiers. Especially you, as the commander, must go deep into the grassroots and understand the soldiers under you from multiple angles. Only then can there be a tacit understanding?"

"This……"

What he said was so reasonable, Geng Yunqiang didn't know how to refute it, so he could only bite the bullet and agree: "This subordinate understands!"

Wang Wuqiong, who was watching the whole process, couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling, not daring to make a sound, and left behind Li Yuechen.

……

As soon as he returned to the office, he saw the sentry on guard leading a panting Marquis Wu into the camp.

Seeing her, Marquis Wu hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Her Royal Highness! A letter from Dongdu..."

As he spoke, he took out a thick stack of letters from his arms, all sent by his family.

Li Yuechen nodded: "It's hard work, tonight on New Year's Eve, I will have dinner in the camp, rest for the night, and celebrate the New Year!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Marquis Wu hurriedly saluted.

"It stands to reason that these letters are difficult to arrive today. You should be able to send them years ago. I should thank you." Li Yuechen smiled, turned his head and said, "Xiaohe, take him to drink some hot water first." Tea, remember to give some rewards when it's over!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this sentence, Marquis Wu thanked again and again, and then left with Xiao He.

Li Yuechen returned to the office with a stack of letters, lay down on the chair and opened them one by one.

The words between the lines are still full of concern from the family members. The third brother is saying that life is very happy recently and wants to last forever; Tell her to save grenades and the like during training, pay attention to controlling expenses, and try to reduce costs...

The older sister and sister-in-law were concerned about her health, asking her if she was not used to eating fish all the time here, and how the fresh sea fish tasted.

These days, people living inland may not be able to eat fresh sea fish for the rest of their lives, and the most they have is smoked or salted fish.

Li Yuechen couldn't help laughing when he read the letters from his sister and sister-in-law.

It's really nice to be away from home and have someone at home who cares about you and looks forward to going back.

No wonder the sage Confucius said that parents should not travel far away.

But Li Yuechen also knew that when he was away from home, with the expectations of his family, he must travel well!
