The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 193 The Legend of Princess Yongan in the Army

"Treading snow?"

Li Xinni looked at Ta Xue who suddenly appeared in the palace garden, with a look of amazement on her face. Not only was he amazed at the magical power of the divine bird to create objects out of thin air, but he was also a little confused about the name "Treading Snow", but it was somewhat familiar.

Li Xinni did not respond immediately to Bai Zhi's words, but stood there and thought for a moment. Suddenly, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, as if she had thought of something, and she looked at Bai Zhi aside.

"Is walking in the snow..."

"Yes."

Bai Zhi nodded.

Legends from the Qin Dynasty are still passed down from generation to generation, and the famous horse named Taxue is naturally recorded in the history books. People in later generations will naturally understand it through the history books.

Now, it is not difficult for Li Xinni to guess Ta Xue's true identity.

Taxue: "???"

Seeing the sudden change of world, Ta Xue showed a human look of doubt.

At the same time, he naturally saw Bai Zhi beside him.

However, the feathers on Bai Zhi's body changed color, making his eyes full of doubts.

Naturally, Bai Zhi would not explain this.

He said directly to Taxue: "From now on, you will follow her, do you understand?"

Bai Zhi pointed at Li Xinni and looked at Taxue.

"Herod..."

Texue immediately shouted and then nodded.

Looking at this scene, Li Xinni looked strangely and couldn't help but reach out and stroke Texue's snow-white mane.

There was a sigh on his face, "I never thought that the famous horse recorded in history is still alive..."

Ta Xue has always stayed in Bai Zhi's invisible world. In the invisible world, Bai Zhi can control the flow of time at any time. Even if a hundred years have passed in the outside world, it only lasts for a moment in the invisible world.

At this time, seeing Ta Xue reappearing, Bai Zhi couldn't help but take a closer look at Ta Xue's body.

The reason why Tuxue exists forever is that it was just Bai Zhi's experimental product, the product of experimenting with immortality.

But as time passed, Bai Zhi felt that it was quite good to have an "old friend" by his side.

Therefore, Taxue was not allowed to "pass away".

In Bai Zhi's eyes, everything in Ta Xue was invisible.

But he saw that Ta Xue's body contained infinite vitality, which was where Ta Xue's immortality lay, and that there was infinite essence in his flesh and blood.

If others knew about it, they would definitely regard Ta Xue as the elixir of immortality and use it to refine the elixir of immortality.

Reappearing in the outside world, walking in the snow was undoubtedly very joyful. He walked towards the flowerbed aside, where sweet potatoes had already been planted.

I sniffed the sweet potato leaves and then started eating them.

Seeing this, Li Xinni didn't stop her. After all, it was just a few sweet potato leaves.

At this time, Li Xinni looked at Ta Xue with eyes full of affection. While Ta Xue was eating sweet potato leaves, Li Xin Ni looked at Ta Xue.

After that, Li Xinni turned to look at Bai Zhi aside, and suddenly asked: "Taxue is a horse from the Qin Dynasty, and horses have a short lifespan, but they can live to this day. It seems that the divine bird can not only make itself longer Existing in this world can also make others live forever.”

"Yes."

Bai Zhi nodded and admitted directly.

Hearing this, Li Xinni just smiled and said jokingly: "In that case, if I don't live enough in the future, you have to help me, Divine Bird!"

"it is good!"

Bai Zhi nodded without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Li Xinni was silent for a moment and stopped talking. She asked the palace maid on the side to take off her armor, and then personally pulled Texue to the stables in the mansion.

After all, he is about to go on an expedition with the army. The war horse will be a comrade of a soldier and needs to cultivate feelings and tacit understanding.

…………

In Chang'an City, news of the Turkic and Tubo invasion of the border towns of Tang Dynasty has spread. The people in Chang'an City are agitated, and they are all discussing the Turkic and Tibetan affairs.

They are even more looking forward to the Tang army setting off, defeating them, regaining the lost land of the former Han Dynasty, and regaining control of the huge land and territory in the Western Regions!

But there are also some people who know the difficulties involved and how much hardship the Han Dynasty had to put in to include the entire Western Region in the Han Dynasty territory.

Although the Han Dynasty ruled the Western Regions for nearly eight hundred years, construction is always slower than destruction, and since they are not of my race, their hearts must be different. How could they easily join the Tang Dynasty today?

At the same time, it was reported in the court that the prince was preparing to lead troops to resist the Tubo Turks, which immediately aroused the expectations of the people in the city.

Look forward to the scene of the Tang army beating the Turks to a pulp.

However, this time, the news that Princess Yong'an wanted to join the army did not spread.

Time passed, and ten days passed quickly.

At the same time, Prince Li Shimin had completed preparations in the camp outside the city, and the provisions had been set off five days in advance.

Princess Li Xinni of Yong'an wears armor and rides on a white horse. She has a heroic appearance and is not outdone by women.

In the military camp outside the city, the soldiers standing outside the military camp saw Princess Yongan coming slowly, and they could naturally tell that Princess Yongan was a woman at a glance.

Although she was dressed in armor, behind Princess Yongan were ten women similarly dressed.

They are basically the same as Princess Yong'an Li Xinni, but they all ride maroon horses and hold guns or swords in their hands.

They were all women who came out of the palace, and they also fought in Princess Pingyang's women's army.

Princess Pingyang no longer fights in person, but serves in the Ministry of War. When she heard that her sister Li Xinni was going to fight in person, she did not object. Instead, she sent ten court ladies who had experienced battles to follow.

"Sister Xin Ni, there is a military camp ahead!"

A palace lady wearing armor came forward, and the soldiers guarding the military camp suddenly asked cautiously: "Who are you? Tell your name and show your token!"

The palace lady immediately took out a token. When the soldier saw it, he immediately stepped aside with a respectful look.

At this time, Li Xinni was already looking at everything in the military camp with curiosity.

But in the military camp, inside the high walls, there were a large number of soldiers gathered in the rolling tents, either practicing, patrolling, or forming formations.

Li Xinni was dazzled by what she saw.

Seeing that Li Xinni was so curious, the ten women behind him did not disturb him and stayed with Li Xinni quietly.

"elder sister……"

A moment later, a man's voice was heard from behind, and Li Shimin was seen wearing the same gorgeous and extraordinary armor. He looked surprised when he saw Li Xinni who had arrived.

"Sister is here today, we won't officially leave until tomorrow!"

"It's okay!"

Li Xinni waved her hands and said: "I am not a pampered person. After joining the army, where can I get riches and honors? It is normal to eat and sleep in the open, and I still know it!"

"In that case, let me arrange a camp for my sister!"

"it is good!"

After all, she and the ten people behind her were all women, so they really couldn't live or eat with the soldiers.

After arranging everything, Li Xinni walked around the military camp from time to time. Seeing Li Xinni's beautiful face and heroic posture, the soldiers immediately started talking.

They all secretly discussed who this beautiful woman was. When someone said it was Princess Yongan, everyone immediately looked confused.

Some people couldn't help but sigh: "She is the legendary Princess Yong'an? The princess who founded the Women's Palace?"

"That's right!"

"Princess Yong'an's palace has saved many poor women! Once upon a time, one of my colleagues was separated from his sister because of the chaos in the late Han Dynasty."

"After following His Majesty to Chang'an, he unexpectedly met his separated sister. After questioning, it turned out that his sister had been kidnapped and was going to be sold to a wealthy family as a maid or a place for fireworks."

"But she was bought by Princess Yong'an in advance, and she was raised in the palace as her biological sister. She was taught various skills and also learned how to read and write."

"By the way, the original female palace was still on Mount Li!"

Hearing the words of the soldiers on the side, the faces of the people around showed admiration, and an insider continued to add: "When Princess Yong'an left His Majesty, she was alone. Oh, with only two maids by her side, she established a palace on Lishan Mountain. The palace of women.”

"Although he has the help of a divine bird, he is also an extraordinary person. Thinking about it now, it is really admirable!"

"..."

"I wonder what happened to your sister who was also in the same robe?"

"My colleague's sister..."

"Because his sister was born in a female palace, the threshold of the family was almost broken by the matchmaker. In the end, my colleague chose a kind family and got married!"

"I heard that he is a seventh-grade official in Chang'an City, and his family has a good reputation!!"

"That's good..."

"..."

The soldiers around him were fascinated by what he heard, and even looked forward to having such a sister of their own.

Perhaps, he also thought that he would be able to marry a woman from a female palace in the future, who would be suitable for his family and his family.

But they also know that the hope in their hearts is also a luxury and cannot be realized.

After all, all the women who came out of the palace were well-educated and courteous, and had various talents that were comparable to girls from ordinary official families.

How could you marry ordinary soldiers like them!

"However, it is obvious that Princess Yong'an will also go with the army this time!"

someone suddenly said.

After hearing this, everyone was silent. After a moment, one person said: "I wonder how Princess Yong'an compares with Princess Pingyang?"

"I don't know...but after all, the women who come out of the palace all have extraordinary swordsmanship, so Princess Yong'an should also have excellent swordsmanship, no less than those women!"

"Having said that, there is no competition on the battlefield. It is extremely dangerous. What if Princess Yong'an..."

"Don't talk nonsense. Princess Yong'an is protected by a divine bird. How can she make us worry?"

"..."

Li Xinni naturally didn't know about the discussions among ordinary soldiers in the military camp.

At this time, she was full of curiosity about everything in the military camp and walked around in the military camp.

And because the army is about to leave, Prince Li Shimin, who is the leading general, naturally does not have time to accompany him, and the generals in the army also have their own tasks.

Therefore, there are only ten women with Li Xinni.

The ten women had experienced battles in Princess Pingyang's women's army, so they naturally knew a lot, so they told Li Xinni some things about the battlefield from time to time.

And Princess Yongan Li Xinni naturally listened carefully and kept it in mind.

…………

The next day.

The drums were beating non-stop in the military camp, and the sound of huge and heavy footsteps shook the ground. In the huge military camp, soldiers gathered quickly. They held long swords and spears, standing silently.

The spears are like a forest, the flags are fluttering, and the murderous intent is soaring into the sky.

A group of generals stood on the high platform, quietly watching the soldiers below slowly form formation. After nearly an hour, a hundred thousand troops quickly assembled.

Prince Li Shimin wore armor, held a long sword, and looked around with sharp eyes. Finally, he shouted:

"The army moves out!"

Outside Chang'an City, crowds gathered.

A large number of soldiers passed through the gate of Chang'an City, and the people gathered to watch, taking a look at the power of the Tang Dynasty's army!

On the streets paved with huge bluestones, only the sound of neat footsteps echoed and the sound of metal vibrations as accompaniment.

Seeing how powerful these soldiers were, some young people were immediately filled with enthusiasm. They wished they could take their place immediately, or they planned to join the army immediately and make contributions!

As the army slowly passed by, the people finally saw a few out of place figures in the military formation.

"That's...a woman?!"

Someone saw a woman in the military formation.

After all, the postures of women and men wearing armor are very different.

For a time, a large number of people's eyes focused on those women.

I saw the woman walking in the front, wearing armor, with only her bright and heroic face exposed. She was riding on a white horse with extraordinary steeds, and she was like a woman!

Behind her, followed ten women, who were also riding on maroon horses, faintly headed by the woman on the white horse at the front.

"Why does that person... look so familiar?"

"Of course, I seem to have seen it somewhere before!"

"It's still just women..."

"..."

Suddenly, someone's face changed, as if they had thought of something, and they exclaimed: "That's...Princess Yong'an!!!"

"What?! Princess Yong'an?!"

"Princess Yong'an actually went out with the army!?"

"But Princess Yong'an has never fought with the army..."

While some people were shocked, they couldn't help but worry about Princess Yong'an.

Among the crowd, there were many young men from noble families. They were originally the same age as Princess Yong'an, and Princess Yong'an had a beautiful appearance and a virtuous reputation. She had long been the object of pursuit for all young talents.

However, Princess Yongan had no idea of ​​recruiting a consort.

"No wonder I haven't seen Princess Yong'an in the Women's Palace in the past few days. It turns out that Princess Yong'an is in the military camp..."

"There should be no worries about this expedition. After all, the prince is leading the army. The prince has a close relationship with Princess Yong'an and will definitely take good care of Princess Yong'an!"

"Princess Yong'an is protected by the divine bird..."

"..."

The news that Princess Yong'an went out with the army naturally aroused the sensitive nerves of some people, but there was not much reaction.

It was just an exclamation.

With the divine bird interfering in the crown prince's dethronement, the current situation in Chang'an City has become difficult for many people to understand.

Some people still choose the former prince and now the king of Jin, while some people choose neutrality.

But more people have begun to take refuge in the current prince Li Shimin. After all, in the eyes of more people, Li Shimin's position as prince came because of the divine bird.

Naturally, he will surely succeed in becoming emperor in the future and will be blessed by the divine bird!
