The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 287 Leading five thousand troops!

Within Bianjing City, the news that the divine bird suddenly appeared in the palace instantly spread outside the palace, and the people in Bianjing City heard the news immediately.

Although they were looking forward to seeing the divine bird, the palace was not accessible to ordinary people.

But in Bianjing City, the common people were all talking about what the divine bird said to the nobles in the palace after entering the palace.

However, their doubts did not last long, and soon new news came from the imperial city.

"Have you noticed that some of the dignitaries who once dominated the city of Bianjing have no longer seen them?"

"It really is!"

"When I passed by a nobleman's mansion just now, I saw a white silk hanging on the nobleman's mansion. It seemed that someone had died!"

"Who died? It can't be those noble people, right?"

"This……"

As soon as they heard about the promotion of military merit into the nobility system, the people in the city immediately thought of the Qin State a thousand years ago. After all, the Qin State at that time implemented the system of promotion into nobility due to military merit.

Li Qingzhao did not go directly to the residence of General Zhenguo of the Song Dynasty according to the guidance of the divine bird. Instead, he came to Zhuque Street and then walked into an alley.

"The divine bird came to the palace and killed many traitors in the court on the spot. The blood stained the ground of the palace red, and the corpses were scattered everywhere. It was extremely bloody!"

Heroes from all over the world gathered in Bianjing City, especially since the divine bird had appeared and followed the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to Chang'an City, which also attracted more people to come here.

"Stir-fried vegetables, hot stir-fried vegetables..."

But still said:

However, when more and more people told the news, some people had to believe it.

"..."

Immediately afterwards, more news came from the palace:
Shenniao appointed the hussar general Li Gang as the general of the country to control the world's troops and prepare for war to deal with the danger of the enemy country in the north!
At the same time, the Divine Bird ordered General Li Gang to implement the system of military merit in the army, learn from the previous Qin system, strengthen the army and the country, and prepare for the Northern Expedition to unify the sixteen states of Youyun!

The woman looked at Li Qingzhao carefully, saw his face clearly under the bamboo hat, and then asked.

"...Girl, who are you looking for?"

"..."

After hearing the news, the people in the city suddenly looked blank, and some did not believe that the news was true.

Li Qingzhao walked in Bianjing City, looking at the familiar houses and streets, but she felt particularly calm.

More than twenty years have passed since then. The buildings in the city have not changed, but the people in the city have.

"So, it must be the memory of that woman's childhood..."

"This place has been rented by my family members ten years ago, and it has been ten years now."

After a moment of silence, just when Li Qingzhao was about to turn around and leave, a woman suddenly walked out of the courtyard and saw Li Qingzhao standing outside the door, with a look of confusion on her face.

Looking at Li Qingzhao's leaving back, he saw a middle-aged man walking out of the courtyard again. Apparently, he also heard the conversation just now, so he couldn't help looking at Li Qingzhao's back curiously and said:

In the past, when the dignitaries were still there, how could they dare to speak so loudly and tell the injustices of the nobles in the city!
And now, they can finally do whatever they want!

……

……

After recalling it for a moment, Li Qingzhao showed a faint smile on his face. This smile was so pure and unadulterated, it was just the woman's pleasure.

On the bustling streets, there are endless cries, merchants gather, traffic is busy, and pedestrians rub shoulders. Li Qingzhao walked among them, as if she had returned to the scene when she was a girl and played in the city for the first time twenty years ago.

But for the people in the city, although Li Qingzhao's dress is different, there are also many people who are similar to Li Qingzhao.

The divine bird killed the traitors in the court and restored peace to the Song Dynasty. Why not make them happy!
They celebrate together!

Li Qingzhao shook his head slightly, and then explained: "This courtyard is my former residence. I came back today and recalled the past, and I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions, so I came to take a look to relieve the pain of recalling the past."

"That woman just now..."

The woman explained.

The place where he once lived was now occupied by another family, and even the gatehouse of the mansion had been changed. This made Li Qingzhao look disappointed.

Some old friends can no longer be found. Things and people have changed, and the world has changed, but that's all.

After saying that, Li Qingzhao turned and left.

"Not looking for anyone..."

It is precisely because of this that Qin was able to defeat the six eastern countries, unify the world, and establish a unified country.

"Candied haws on a stick~sweet and sour candied haws on a stick..."

Just as the people in the city were talking about it, a piece of news suddenly came from the palace:

Then, happy smiles finally appeared on their faces.

"Baozi, delicious meat buns..."

"It is said that the courtyard here is their former residence."

After hearing Li Qingzhao's explanation, the woman who came out immediately showed a look of realization on her face. However, when she saw Li Qingzhao, who was dusty, wearing a bamboo hat and holding a long sword, her face became even more wary.

Li Qingzhao heard the vigilance in the other party's words, and immediately smiled, then bowed slightly and said, "In this case, I'm sorry to bother you."

The two couldn't help but sigh.

……

Li Qingzhao didn't know what the two people behind her were talking about. At this time, she returned to the bustling Zhuque Street again, and then walked towards the residence of General Li Gang.

The news that Shenniao appointed Hussar General Li Gang as the general of the country has spread throughout the city. The general of the country, Li Gang, controlled the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty and became very busy after leaving the palace.

Perhaps because of the warning given by the divine bird before, no one in the court dared to embarrass him, allowing him to do things without any hindrance.

At this time, there were crowds of people in front of the residence of General Zhenguo. This was a visit from capable people from other worlds. They wanted to join the army through General Zhenguo and fight for the country.

However, the people who came to visit were mixed, and because of this, Li Gang turned away these people. After all, he is very busy, how can he have time to waste time on people like them. After leaving the palace, Li Gang immediately rushed to the camp outside the city and began to transform the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty.

As time goes by and the lanterns first come on, Bianjing City once again regains its splendid splendor, with flowing fireflies and dazzling lights, bustling and lively, and even more prosperous in the daytime.

Outside the residence of General Zhenguo, the figure of the people who had crowded the place for hundreds of days has disappeared. The streets are empty, but under the bright moonlight, there is still a figure standing for a long time, and Didn't follow the crowd.

Li Qingzhao waited quietly. She was persistent but not pedantic. She came here again after dinner. She learned through the divine bird that she had already guessed that Li Gang should not be in the house during the day.

At night, General Li Gang would return to his mansion to rest.

The prosperity of Bianjing City did not affect this place. On the empty streets, the crisp sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the empty streets. The horses' hoofs landed on the bluestone slabs, clicking, clicking, crisp and sweet.

Li Qingzhao, who was waiting, raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound of horse hoofbeats. He saw a group of people riding horses, and the leader was obviously the person he wanted to wait for.

When the horses came closer, they saw a middle-aged man wearing armor with a majestic face and a long sword hanging on his waist. He was calm and powerful.

He looked at Li Qingzhao standing in front of the mansion with a look of confusion on his face.

In the pre-Qin period, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries liked to support their retainers, and by this time, many high-ranking officials and nobles also did the same.

And since he was appointed as the general of the country by the Divine Bird, there would be an endless stream of people visiting him in the future, which made him very annoyed.

It just so happened that he was busy with military matters every day, so he didn't have much time to stay in the mansion, which also allowed him to avoid many troubles.

The people who came to visit all left after nightfall, and he also returned every night.

What he didn't expect at this time was that there were people who didn't leave even after nightfall and were still standing there.

Under the illumination of the candlelight in front of the mansion, Li Gang carefully looked at the person standing in front of the mansion, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face, "It's actually a woman!?"

He frowned, looked at the woman in front of him, and asked patiently: "Who is the girl and why are you standing here?"

"My name is Li Qingzhao, and I am waiting here especially for the general!"

"Waiting for me?"

General Li Gang showed doubts on his face, but then he was relieved. Then he put on a relaxed smile and said: "Girl, please leave. How can you let a woman fight for a reason? In this case, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed." Where is the man?"

Hearing the rejection in Li Gang's words, Li Qingzhao shook his head slightly, and then said: "In the pre-Qin period, there were princesses who fought for the country, and in the pre-Tang Dynasty, there was Princess Yong'an who went out with the army to build the Women's Palace and the Junzi Tower. , cultivating countless talents for future generations, how can a general despise women so much?"

Hearing Li Qingzhao's rebuttal, Li Gang was speechless, but still shook his head and said: "Girl, you'd better leave!"

After saying that, Li Gang was about to return to the mansion.

At this time, the door of the Zhenguo General's residence had also been opened, welcoming Li Gang's entry.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhao knew that he had to move the sacred bird out, so before Li Gang was about to enter the mansion, Li Qingzhao hurriedly said:
"I came here specially under the guidance of the divine bird."

After Li Qingzhao said these words, Li Gang, who was about to enter the mansion, stopped immediately, then turned to look at Li Qingzhao outside, his face full of seriousness.

"Is what the girl said true?"

"Absolutely true!"

Hearing Li Qingzhao's words, Li Gang frowned. After all, Li Qingzhao was talking nonsense. He didn't know if he was really guided by the divine bird, but he had to believe it.

It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist!
"In that case...girl, please come in!"

…………

A month passed by in a blink of an eye. Regarding the changes in the Song Dynasty, the North could also see it. The Xixia, Liao and Jin Kingdoms were informed of the news immediately when the divine bird appeared. It was not until the divine bird appeared in Bianjing that they finally believed that the divine bird had really appeared.

But this also made them fearful, fearing that the divine bird would directly come to their capital and use their supreme magical power to directly destroy their country.

But after waiting for a month, the divine bird never showed up, and they knew that the divine bird would not do it himself.

At the same time, I also learned about the many orders of the Divine Bird to the Song Dynasty, and also noticed the changes in the Song Dynasty.

But they were helpless. If the divine bird had not appeared in the past, they could have used other means to prevent the Song Dynasty from becoming powerful. However, at this time, the divine bird had arrived in the Song Dynasty. How could these methods of theirs not be known to the divine bird?
Therefore, the Song Dynasty was very safe to a certain extent at this time, and there were no wars even in the border areas.

……

In the city of Bianjing, Li Gang, the general who governs the country at this time, has become a man of great concern in the city. He is valued by the divine bird and controls the soldiers and horses of the world. The talented people in the world come to seek refuge with you.

But what surprised everyone in the city was that Li Gang, the general of Zhenguo, did not see anyone coming to visit him. However, there was one exception, and that was the General Zhenguo who brought a woman into his mansion.

This forced them to talk a lot and make various speculations.

"Is it possible that the general who governs the country is a lustful person?!"

"If not, why did the general of the country ignore so many virtuous people in the world, but chose a woman?"

"That woman can come in and out of the General's Mansion at will every day. Although she is dressed in coarse linen clothes, she has a graceful figure and beautiful appearance..."

"I'm afraid the divine bird has mistaken the wrong person..."

"..."

People in Chang'an City were talking a lot again, and Li Qingzhao naturally heard all kinds of discussions while walking on the streets outside, but he didn't care about it.

In the month since she entered the Zhenguo General's Mansion, she has talked with Li Gang many times, and she also knows what Zhenguo General Li Gang has been busy with this month.

During this month, the divine bird appeared once, which made Li Gang, the general of the country, have to believe that Li Qingzhao was guided by the divine bird.

At the same time, Li Gang was naturally very supportive of Li Qingzhao's idea.

Li Gang promised to give Li Qingzhao five thousand troops and horses by then. Except for the logistics and equipment, Li Qingzhao would be responsible for everything else.

Before the sacrifice of the sacred bird, the Song Dynasty seemed prosperous and stable, but in fact, rebels appeared in various places, but they were not necessarily rebels in the strict sense. There were also local officials who forced the people to rebel.

So Li Qingzhao already had an idea in his mind. He decided to take the soldiers and horses assigned to him by Li Gang and go to various places in the Song Dynasty to put down the rebellion first, which could be regarded as training troops.

During this month, Li Qingzhao often walked out of the Zhenguo General's mansion and went to the Women's Palace and Junzi Tower in Bianjing City, reading the books in the Women's Palace and Junzi Tower, and perfecting the books he wanted to compile.

Li Qingzhao listened to the talk about herself in her ears, she shook her head slightly, and then walked forward.

But at this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly came from behind. The voice was mixed with doubts, surprises, and memories, "Li Qingzhao?!"
