The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Fifty miles south of Chang'an City.

This place is still within the scope of Chang'an City, but the surrounding area can already be seen as a countryside. It is not as prosperous as Chang'an City, but there are many merchants on the pass, and they are all transporting goods to Chang'an City.

Now, in addition to the inside of Chang'an City, the outside is also becoming prosperous. Along the surrounding city walls, a lot of land has been used, and these places have also become markets outside the city.

Although the items sold are all inexpensive, many people in the city are willing to come out to buy things, mainly because these things are cheaper outside the city. If you are lucky, you can buy the same thing for half the price.

"Are you feeling a little excited?"

Cheng Ying was pretending to be a young man and was following Li Xiang. Even though he looked a little strenuous due to his armor, he couldn't tell that he was a woman.

"I used to go to the army a lot, but I never really went to the battlefield. And it seems that the army at that time was different from the army now."

After entering this army, Cheng Ying's first feeling was that the army had changed, and the changes were very big. Take the guards around Li Xiang, for example, they looked very strong. The most important thing was that there were various kinds of soldiers. Such weapons.

The Tang army can conquer the world and win the surrounding wars. If this army does not change, it is absolutely impossible to achieve so many victories.

"Everything must develop. If we stop moving forward, let alone expand the scope of our control in the Tang Dynasty, it is very likely that our own land will be swallowed up by others. Take the swords they use as an example. , I don’t know how much more advanced than before. Although I don’t agree with them engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, if it comes to that, we can cut off their weapons with just one strike. Then what do you think our chances of winning are? ?”

The journey was very boring. The two of them rode horses and walked forward. According to Li Xiang's plan today, they had to walk at least 80 kilometers before they could rest. This was not fast. If it were Huo Qubing's soldiers, they would have to walk 200 kilometers a day. Kilometers are no problem.

But many people around were soldiers in Chang'an City, and many of their families were relatively wealthy. After receiving the order this time, many people wanted to cheat and cheat. As a result, Li Xiang stunned them with just one sentence. If anyone If you feel sick at this time, you should leave the army immediately and be demoted to a common people.

Although he is just an ordinary auxiliary soldier in the army now, he at least receives a salary from the court. If he just leaves the army, he will be the same as an ordinary citizen. How can this be done?

Although they are unwilling to go to the battlefield, they are even less willing to lose this identity, not to mention diverging their thinking. If they follow His Highness Taisun to the battlefield, they will basically not be in any danger, and they can also get a lot of benefits. The most important thing is What's important is that your merits will not be stolen by others. If you really make a significant contribution on the battlefield in the future, you will be honored when you come back.

So these people decided to follow Li Xiang to the southern battlefield to fight, and maybe they could get back a title, and then at least three generations of descendants would not have to worry.

"What your Highness said makes sense. I wonder where I can follow Your Highness? I want to go to the real battlefield, and you can't leave me in Nanzhao, right?" Cheng Ying said with some worry, what if? If he stayed in Nanzhao, he would still be far away from the battlefield. Originally, Li Xiang did have this intention. Although Li Xiang respected women, he would never want his woman to go to the battlefield. After all, swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Even if it leaves a scar, it will be a lifelong regret.

But after Cheng Ying walked for a while, at least he didn't find anything wrong in these dozens of kilometers, which showed that his physical fitness was very good. If this was the case, then just let Cheng Ying follow him to the battlefield. Anyway, where he was The place is also very safe. If something urgent happens, Cheng Ying can still discuss it with her like this.

"In the first three days, we have to travel one hundred and fifty miles every day. As long as you don't ride in a carriage and ride with me every day, and you can persist, then I can take you wherever we go. No matter where you go, there is something I must say first. When you get to the battlefield, everything must be obeyed by me."

After hearing what Li Xiang said, Cheng Ying also nodded. Is this still a big deal? I often rode on horses when I was a child. Although I haven’t ridden for a long time, there are some skills that I will never forget.

In addition, this girl also has some small thoughts. If she is placed in Nanzhao Royal City, she will not be able to accompany Li Xiang. After returning to the capital, it will be even more impossible for her to have Li Xiang. If there are too many Li elephants together, wouldn’t the belly get bigger quickly?

"This is no problem, but my two maids can only ride in carriages. They are different from me."

Cheng Ying looked back and saw that Li Xiang's large carriage was pulling behind him. Now, the wide cement road from Chang'an City to Nanzhao Royal City has been built. The government along the way where Li Xiang led the army has already opened the road in time. Once it is closed, it will be able to reach 150 miles per day.

"They have not received such training, so naturally they are not included in such an assessment. However, we can only leave them in Nanzhao Royal City. If you follow me, you will have to endure hardships on the way. You will have to do everything by yourself. .”

After leaving Nanzhao Royal City, Li Xiang could still ensure safety with Cheng Ying alone. If there were a lot of maids accompanying him, would he really be going to the front line to fight? At that time, Li Xiang really felt it was inappropriate.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Ying'er has endured hardships in the past, and I'm not a real eldest lady either."

When Cheng Ying said this, her face was inevitably a little disappointed. This is also normal. When Cheng Yaojin's legitimate son and daughter were not born, Cheng Ying's status in the family was pretty good, but when those legitimate sons and daughters were not born, When a girl comes down, the children of a concubine will naturally have to lean back. This is not the case of Cheng Yaojin's family, it is the case of every family.

"Don't worry, except for status, everything else is equal. You have been following me for a long time. You still understand how I behave."

We cannot decide the official positions in the court, but we must treat everyone equally in life. (End of chapter)
