Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 495: Western Expedition!

Just as Zhao Mu was about to leave, the women in the family came out one by one to say goodbye to Zhao Mu.

Especially Zhao Mu’s mother Zhao Ji. Although she had never conquered the West with her husband, King Dongping, she had heard him talk about his experiences in the West. Although King Dongping was awarded a title for his meritorious service, it could be said that he had a narrow escape from death.

Now that her son has followed his father's old path, how can Zhao Ji not be worried as a mother?

Zhao Ji said: "Son, no matter you win or lose in this battle, you must take care of your life!"

Zhao Mu heard his mother's words and immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, mother. Today's Song Dynasty is no better than before, and Xixia is already in our pocket. This battle will not last long, and the child will come back in a few months." "

At this time, Hu Yanjin also had a big belly, and then walked out with the support of Qiu Shuang Dongxue.

Hu Yanjin looked at Zhao Mu and said: "Husband, although it may be a bit unlucky to say this, the battlefield is dangerous and unpredictable. You must come back safely. I don't want the child in my belly to never see me once he is born. 's father.

Mu Wanqing comforted her at this time: "Okay sister, don't you understand his abilities? He is the only one who can kill others in this world, how can anyone kill him? Even if he can't be beaten, won't he run away? His Qinggong How, you and I both know it."

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "Haha, Wan'er still understands me."

There were quite a few people bidding farewell to Zhao Mu along the way.

When the army marched out of the city neatly, two horses ran towards Zhao Mu.

The wording of the "Declaration of Conquest to the West" drafted by Zhezong this time was even more intense than the last expedition to Liao. After all, the last time it was just a lesson to the Liao Kingdom. But this time it was a real battle to destroy the country.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Zhao Mu, who was wearing a majestic military uniform, led several personal guards to the square outside the Meridian Gate.

The swearing-in scene this time was much larger than the previous expedition to Liao.

Mu Wanqing also smiled at Zhao Mu and said she was not worried, which was a lie. Every wife is worried when her husband goes off to war. It's just that Mu Wanqing is tough on the outside and soft on the inside, and is not good at showing her care.

Both husband and wife drank a glass of wine from a jade cup. After the emperor finished drinking, he threw it towards the tower like last time and smashed it into pieces. In this way, the soldiers are encouraged to live in pieces rather than in ruins.

Except for his mother, Mrs. Chai, and his sister-in-law, Princess Xiao Qian. Princess Shoukang, Princess Chai, Princess Xiaoqian, eldest sister Zhao Lan, and even the second sister Zhao Zi, who had not seen each other for a long time after marrying into Tianbo Mansion, stood on the roadside to see each other off.

And this time when Zhezong stood on the Meridian Gate Tower and swore an oath to worship heaven, it was no longer himself. Instead, he took his queen, Meng, to practice for the soldiers.

After the emperor read the oath, he walked down the tower in person as he did last time, and then exchanged greetings with Zhao Mu. Just like last time, Zhao Mu was given Taizong's golden mace in public and allowed him "the right to do things expediently".

When Zhao Mu arrived at the square outside the Meridian Gate on his horse, hundreds of civil and military officials, princes and nobles were already waiting there.

Just as the guarding soldiers wanted to stop him, Zhao Mu said, "There is no need to stop him. Wang Jin!"

After Zhao Mu took the golden mace to thank him, he mounted his horse again. With a wave of his hand, he hit the golden mace and ordered the army to set off!
Then the drums and music in the city sounded as the army went out to strengthen the country's prestige.

The cards are naturally not comparable to last time.

After Zhao Mu arrived on horseback, Zhe Zong also slowly walked to the tower.

Although this attracted criticism from many ministers, it was a done deal and they could only think about it in their hearts.

When Wang Jin heard Zhao Mu's order, he quickly responded: "The general is here, please give me your instructions!"

Zhao Mu said: "Wang Jin, you can lead the army first. I have something to discuss with these two friends."

Wang Jin replied: "Yes!" After saying that, Zhao Mu and Mei Lan, Zhu Ju and others got out of the marching queue, and the army continued to move forward under the command of Wang Jin.

Zhao Mu looked at Li Qinglu and Xiaolei, who were covered in black gauze. When they came closer, he smiled and said, "Come with me on the expedition. You two don't have to dress like this."

Li Qinglu took off the curtain hat on her head, but her face was still covered by a veil.

Li Qinglu said: "What are you talking about? I am your woman. My beauty can only be appreciated by one person."

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "Haha, that's right. Well, since our supervisor has also arrived, let's get out of the border quickly. If we count the time, the army led by Prince Zhongxiao and General Yang has already arrived at the border."

When Li Qinglu heard this, she rolled her eyes at Zhao Mu and said, "You are really deceitful. You said you were swearing in today, but I didn't expect you had already taken action in advance. I don't know how many soldiers will die because we are late."

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "Haha, don't worry Qinglu. I have already given the order. If I don't arrive, they will not fight the Xixia Army unless they take action first."

Li Qinglu said: "That's good. Let's leave quickly. Alas! I haven't been back to Daxia for a long time. I didn't expect that this majestic princess of Daxia would actually call the enemy!"

Hearing Li Qinglu say this, Zhao Mu couldn't help but think of a certain "foreign student" in later generations, His Majesty. The most foolish king of all time.

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "Haha, how can I be an enemy? Besides, my Qinglu is not only the princess of Xixia Kingdom, but also my king's princess in the future."

Li Qinglu smiled and said: "Haha, I hope you won't call me Jieyu in the future."

While Zhao Mu was talking, another group of people also appeared in the distance and were heading here.

Zhao Mu was overjoyed when he saw the visitor and immediately urged his horse to greet him.

The person here was none other than his eldest brother Qiao Feng, whom he had not seen for a long time. Behind Qiao Feng were the four elders Song Xi, Chen and Wu.

Zhao Mu rode up to meet him, and then shouted: "Brother! I really miss you after not seeing you for a long time!"

Qiao Feng rode up to Zhao Mu and said, "Yes, dear brother, we have not seen each other for a year and a half since I said goodbye to Xiongzhou. This time I heard about your expedition to Xixia, Qiao The four elders have all fought against the masters of the Xixia Kingdom, so Brother Wei led them to fight in front of the battle."

Zhao Mu looked at the five people who were tired of the journey, and then said: "This time, I have thanked my elder brother for his kindness. It's just that in this western expedition, our army focused on attacking the city and attacking the heart. It is not that we are enemies of the Xixia people. I am just going to take over the territory of the Xixia Kingdom, because there will be no difficult battles, so the younger brother has not worked with the older brother."

After hearing Zhao Mu's words, everyone in the Beggar Clan knew that Zhao Mu had issued an order to expel them.

However, everyone was puzzled. They came here to help each other sincerely and not for any reward.

Even if he asked for a reward, Zhao Mu would never be stingy given his temperament. They know this.

Therefore, everyone was curious about Zhao Mu's polite refusal.

Wu Changfeng, who has always been straightforward, asked at this time: "Hey! I'm kindly coming to help, what does His Highness King Qi mean by this? Do you think it's useless to dislike us old bones? I have been dealing with Xixia barbarians for half my life. Those nerds are just barbarians. Why are they here?”

At this time, Li Qinglu came to Zhao Mu on horseback. She replied: "Awe of power but not moral!"

Wu Changfeng smiled at this time and said: "Yes, yes! This little girl is right. That's what she said. I can't say it in such a polite way. It probably means that the only way to deal with the barbarian is to defeat him with your fists." Wu Changfeng raised his hands to Li Qinglu and said, "Thank you for reminding me, little girl!"

Hearing the conversation between the two people, Zhao Mu suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
