Horse on the World

Chapter 278 The princess arrives
Dingzhou City was redecorated, the entire city wall was hung with red colored silk, and bright red lanterns protruded from each stack, swaying in the wind.Colorful flags fluttered in the wind on the city tower, but even the soldiers standing on the city tower also put on brand-new clothes and stood upright on the city tower with spears in their hands. There is a red silk flower pinned to the helmet.There was already a sea of ​​people outside the city gate, and I don't know how many people from Dingzhou rushed out of the city. Everyone stretched their necks and looked at the large group of people who were slowly approaching not far away.

Dingzhou is going to have a happy event.Such a grand occasion, without him, is just to welcome Dingzhou's future mistress, Mrs. Zhenxi Hou, the world-renowned Princess Qingcheng.

About a hundred steps away from the city gate of Dingzhou, a temporary camp has been built. In the next few days, Princess Qingcheng will live here until the first day of the new year, which is the day when Li Qing marries her .

Lu Yiming and Xu Yunfeng, on behalf of the top civil officials of the two prefectures of Dingfu, greeted them hundreds of miles away. Now, Li Qing is leading the remaining senior officials of the two prefectures of Dingfu, as well as the rich gentry and celebrities of the two prefectures, respectfully at the gate of the city. Waiting outside for the arrival of Princess Luanjia.

Except for Feng Guo, almost all the senior military officers in Dingzhou were fighting outside, so Li Qing was surrounded by almost all civilian officials.Today, Li Qing is wearing a brand-new Zhenxihou official robe. In front of the purple official robe is embroidered a two-legged reckless snake with open teeth and dancing claws, and a golden crown of a waiting master on his head. This makes Li Qing feel extremely uncomfortable. He is used to Either with a helmet on his head, or with his hair loosely tied together.With his hands behind his back and squinting his eyes, Li Qing glanced around, and suddenly saw that Qingfeng was standing not far from her side, whispering something with an official beside her, with a natural expression, There is no difference at all.As if feeling something, Qingfeng raised his head abruptly, met Li Qing's eyes, Qingfeng smiled sweetly, his incomparably brilliant expression made Li Qing stunned and speechless, in surprise, Qingfeng turned his head again, and then said to the official wearing something.

"What are they talking about? Are you so happy?" Li Qing suddenly felt a little jealous. He was not jealous of the official, but Qingfeng's appearance of having nothing to do with him made him very uncomfortable. , Does she really care about nothing in her heart?Li Qing made a choice in his heart.

The horn blew, the golden drums sounded, and the princess's luan frame finally arrived at the Dingzhou city in the eyes of everyone expecting. Shang Haibo and Lu Yiming got off their horses, walked up to Li Qing, and gave orders to Li Qing.Li Qing smiled and waved to the two, and strode towards the convoy.

The majestic guard of honor separated on both sides, and the two horsemen came out more and more. Li Qing clasped his fists and bowed, "Li Qing has met Prince Han and the second uncle!"

The king of Han, whose hair and beard were snow-white, laughed loudly, turned his head to Li Tuizhi and said, "Tuizhi, the Li family has such a beautiful son, it is really gratifying, hahaha, Li Qing, there is no need to be polite." He looked up and looked around, "My boy, what a big battle, I heard that you are fighting in Dingzhou, but you look like Dingzhou, you don't look like you are fighting at all!"

Li Qing smiled slightly, "The barbarians are no more than a clown Liang, and they are no longer a threat."

Prince Han grinned, and said: "Get back, listen, listen to what your nephew said, we old guys have to be ashamed to find a crack in the ground to get in, the barbarians are clowns in his eyes, But for so many years, we old guys have suffered enough from them!"

Li Tuizhi smiled and said: "My lord, don't take your arrogant and unintentional words to heart."

Li Qing's heart moved slightly. Hearing King Han's tone, it seemed that he had fought against barbarians in his early years.

Han Wang laughed and said: "It's okay, he is qualified to say that. I heard that your army has surrounded Huhe in Wuyanbaatar, and victory is expected! After defeating Huhe, the pacification of the grassland is more than half successful. What you said back then The pacification of the grassland in three years is really going to happen, I scolded you for being arrogant in my heart at the beginning, but now I want to pay you for it!"

"From what the old prince said, he was able to defeat the barbarians. It was thanks to the great blessing of the emperor, and the concerted efforts of millions of people in the two prefectures to achieve today's results."

Han Wang laughed, "The boy can talk. Oh, let's go back, you can talk to him about the business. I'm old and my mouth is mixed. I haven't reached the point after talking for a long time. Don't delay the business!"

Li Tuizhi joked in his heart that the old king of Han was thinking of talking about something serious at this moment, and immediately said to Li Qing seriously: "There are still a few days before the wedding, Princess Yiguiji can't meet you now, and you There is no need to go to meet the princess, we will camp outside Dingzhou City, and if we need anything, are you ready?"

Li Qing nodded and said: "All are well equipped, Princess Luanjia can move in directly."

"Well, that's good, the guards in the camp are guarded by the princess's guards, and the outside of the camp is yours!"

"Don't worry, Second Uncle, everything has been arranged properly!"

"Well, after we settle in the camp, King Han and I will come to the city to discuss the details with you. For the wedding, every detail must be considered carefully. Don't make any mistakes. You Dingzhou I'm afraid there are not many people who understand this matter of etiquette, this time we specially brought relevant people from the capital."

Li Qing smiled wryly, "Everything is arranged by the second uncle!"

While the few people were talking, someone had already guided the princess' guard of honor to enter the camp. The first to enter the camp were the palace guards who served as the princess's guard. It is one in a thousand, and it is more than a head taller than the common war horses of Dingzhou people. Today's war horses are not armored, otherwise they may look more enjoyable to Dingzhou people, but even so, the mighty Palace Guards still make people feel better. The onlookers burst into applause.

The professional quality of the palace guards who were in charge of security was indeed excellent. As soon as they entered the camp, manpower was assigned to every key point of the camp in a short while, and they quickly took over the entire camp.

"It looks pretty good!" Li Qing muttered in a low voice.

"Qing'er, what did you say?" Li Tuizhi didn't hear clearly, so he asked.

Li Qing said with a smile: "My nephew said that the Palace Guard Army is very powerful, much stronger than the Imperial Forest Army!" Hearing this, Li Tuizhi and Han Wang had strange expressions. Of course, they remembered Li Qing's general Yulin Army in Luoyang Hit the ground to find the teeth of the past.Today, Li Qing has his eye on the Palace Guard Army, why don't he find an excuse to give the Palace Guard Army a disgrace, right?
King Han's complexion changed several times. He knew better than Li Tuizhi. Ever since Qingcheng suffered from Li Qing's loss in the royal school, Qingcheng had been gnashing his teeth, and swore with King Han in private that he would give Li Qing a good look. Today Hearing Li Qing's words, they coincided with Qingcheng, they are not from the same family, and if they don't enter the same family, these two people are really born to be enemies!King Han sighed in his heart.I have to be more reliable. Before marriage, the two of them must not be allowed to fight. If they fight, it will be a scandal for the royal family. After marriage, in the boudoir, it is called boudoir joy. Same day.

The three of them watched the princess's huge convoy enter the camp, while each was thinking about their own thoughts. While they were relatively speechless, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes in the distance, and their expressions changed slightly. Tang Hu immediately led the guards to greet them. up.Tang Hu rode his horse and ran for a few steps, when there was a loud cheer from above the city tower. The stiff soldiers were brandishing their weapons, screaming and dancing.

"Victory with the red flag, victory with the red flag! We have won the battle again!"

Li Qing, Shang Haibo, Lu Yiming and the others looked at each other with joy on their faces. The good news that came at this time must be that the battle of Uyan Bator was won, but I don't know how big the result is?
After hearing the cheers of the soldiers at the top of the city, countless people in the city cheered in unison. Suddenly, the city of Dingzhou became a sea of ​​joy, and everyone's eyes shifted from the princess's car to the direction of the sound of horseshoes.

A team of more than ten messengers with red flags on their backs ran wildly and shouted in unison, "Wuyan Bator is a big victory, Uyan Bator is a big victory!"

Li Tuizhi and King Han looked at each other, the victory was a coincidence, just in time, but I don't know if Li Qing deliberately arranged to demonstrate to the princess.

The idea of ​​the two people is wrong to blame Li Qing. Li Qing only knows the time when the battle started, and he may not believe it when it will end. Now Li Qing has only given strategic goals to the generals. As for how the generals will fight, he is absolutely sure. Don't interfere, the battle on the front line is changing rapidly, if you use the remote control yourself, you may be defeated in time.He wants the result, not the process.

More than a dozen messengers with red flags on their backs were led by Tang Hu to Li Qing. Their voices were a little confused when they saw such a large-scale welcoming ceremony under the city of Dingzhou, and their orderly voices stopped abruptly. When they rushed to Li Qing, they came to their senses. They got off their horses together, and the leader said loudly, "Report to Commander, Wuyan Bator's great victory, annihilating more than [-] barbarian wolf soldiers, and beating barbarian tigers."

"What did you say? Huhe is dead?" Li Qing was both surprised and delighted. If he could kill Huhe, then Wuyan Bator's battle would be considered a complete victory.

"Yes, Commander, Hu He is dead. Now General Lu is reorganizing his troops and preparing to take advantage of the victory to advance. The Changsheng Battalion and the Whirlwind Battalion have already advanced to chase and wipe out the enemy."

"Hmm!" Li Qing immediately heard the problem from this sentence. The Changsheng Battalion and the Whirlwind Battalion set out to chase the enemy at the same time, which can only explain one problem, that is, Lang Ben and his troops escaped in an organized manner.But this time is obviously not the time to ask about the detailed military situation, so he winked at Shang Haibo, and Shang Haibo nodded knowingly.

"Reward, great reward!" Li Qing said loudly.

Several messengers stood up joyfully, and were about to retreat with Tang Hu, when a male voice called from the other side: "Princess Yizhi." Everyone was stunned, but they saw the eunuch in charge beside the princess, Huang Gongzheng trotted over with a group of young eunuchs.

"The princess said that when she just arrived in Dingzhou today, there was good news. She was very happy. I specially rewarded these warriors who came back from the front line to show the princess' heart!"

More than a dozen messengers stayed there, looking at Li Qing involuntarily, Li Qing smiled slightly and nodded, Tang Hu said: "You rascals, what are you still doing, why don't you hurry up and thank the princess for the reward!"

More than a dozen messengers then pushed the golden mountain, fell down on the jade pillar and bowed to the ground, "Thank you princess for the reward!"
