Chapter 285

Xiao Jingtian put down the big wine bowl in his hand, stepped down the high platform slowly, and stood at the foot of the steps with his back straight, looking at the beauty who was slowly approaching with burning eyes.

Yan Mo followed behind Xiao Jingtian, and stood firmly half a step behind him. Taking advantage of the opportunity that everyone was looking at, he also stared at the beautiful figure for a while. When she passed by, he finally lowered his head slightly.

Ning Yuezhao didn't look sideways, stepped onto the high platform in a dignified manner, and stopped behind the Wumu case.

Xiao Jingtian took the lead and knelt down, and the soldiers in the army came to their senses at this moment and also knelt down.

"See my emperor, long live long live long live!"

Ning Yuezhao slightly looked down at the group of people kneeling below. These people guarded this frontier for her Ning family. The invisible Great Wall built of flesh and blood prevented the Beiqi people from stepping into the pass.

In the northwest, the sky is high, the land is vast, and the weather is open. The things she was entangled in the past are so ridiculous.

After sneering, she raised her hand and said, "Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The army is simple and crude, the so-called imperial seat is just a simple table made of ebony, with a layer of brocade cushions on top of the low stool.Even the wine glasses on the ebony case are the same porcelain bowls as the soldiers.

Ning Yuezhao raised the wine bowl in front of her, "This first bowl of wine is to commemorate the soldiers who have contributed to my great prosperity and spilled blood on the battlefield for many years!"

She spilled all the wine in the bowl on the ground. The soldiers on the field were stunned for a moment, and then they also poured wine as a sacrifice.

For a moment, the smell of wine in the camp was several times stronger than before.

The people around her immediately filled it up for her, and Ning Yuezhaofu raised the wine bowl to everyone again, "This second bowl of wine is to all of you present, in order to protect the country, stay away from the homeland, and sacrifice your life, Daxing Jiangshan can have Today, everyone’s contributions are indispensable! On behalf of the common people in the world, I respect you all!"

After finishing speaking, she drank the wine in the bowl in one breath, and placed the wine bowl heavily on the table.

The insipid clang hit the hearts of everyone present, and they also raised their wine bowls one after another.

"Defending the family and the country is the duty of a hot-blooded man. I dare not take credit for it! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

The voices of thanks came one after another, rushing straight into the sky, shaking the mountains and rivers.

After drinking this glass of wine, many people turned their backs and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes.

A cup of turbid wine is thousands of miles away, but Yan Ranwei has nothing to do.

Generals die in a hundred battles, and strong men return in ten years.

How many colleagues are still talking about each other today, but tomorrow they will turn into a wisp of heroic soul, which can only be cherished in this life.

I thought that these high-ranking relatives of the emperor only cared about their own enjoyment, but who knew that the young empress first came to the army, and first paid homage to these heroic souls, and then thanked them, these insignificant soldiers.

They wept, half for their dead brother and half for themselves.Some people think that even if one day they die in battle, they will die well!

Ning Yuezhao looked at the excited soldiers under the firelight. She drank a lot of the spicy wine in the Northwest just now, and now her chest was burning hot, and even some emotions were stirred up.

Xiao Jingtian, who was sitting under the emperor's seat, looked at her sideways, with fire in his eyes.

He knew that from this moment on, instead of relying on his orders, she could also rely on her own ability to make these soldiers surrender sincerely.

Sensing Xiao Jingtian's gaze, Ning Yuezhao shifted her gaze to him as well, raised her wine bowl to him, and made a silent toast.

Xiao Jingtian picked up the wine bowl in front of him, raised his head and drank it all, then he walked down the high platform and walked to a bonfire in the camp, where the blue sheep he hunted during the day were roasting.

Someone immediately took down the blue sheep and put it on a large iron plate on a wooden table beside it. Xiao Jingtian evenly sprinkled the powder in a porcelain pot on the table on the sheep, then put the blue sheep back on the fire, and turned it over. with.

After a while, those who sat close could smell the enticing aroma of roasted rock sheep.

Guessing that it was almost time, Xiao Jingtian asked someone to take down the rock sheep. He picked up the knife on the table and neatly cut off the ribs of the sheep and a leg of lamb.Then he cut the lamb ribs and lamb legs into small pieces, put them on a white porcelain plate, and sprinkled the green grass powder that he had prepared earlier.

He picked up the two plates of mutton and walked towards the throne.

"Try it." Xiao Jingtian put the things on the table in front of Ning Yuezhao, his eyes filled with anticipation.

At this time, the soldiers of the cooking camp also brought a bowl of soup, which was fragrant, and it was made from the meat of the white-lipped deer that Xiao Jingtian hunted during the day.

Lansha thoughtfully served Ning Yuezhao a small bowl of venison soup, and placed it in front of her.

Looking at the food in front of her, Ning Yuezhao suddenly remembered the quaint wooden building on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

In the past, Jiang Nian had carefully prepared special food for her, just to make her smile.

The wine in her belly was tumbling, as if a fire was burning her heart.

Ning Yuezhao picked up the chopsticks, tasted the mutton, and drank some venison soup.

"Thank you." She said sincerely.

Xiao Jingtian was shocked when he saw her smile.

" Between you and me, why bother to say thank you!"

The familiar words once again touched Ning Yuezhao's heartstrings.

Xu Miaoyun, who was sitting on the civil servant's seat, squinted at the two people interacting on the high platform, and couldn't help but snorted softly, cursing inwardly: "Sexy!"

Li Bai, the maid standing behind her, hastily refilled her bowl of wine, "Miss, this is the army..."

Xu Miaoyun caught Li Bai's arm with her wide sleeves, and pinched her hard.

Li Bai was so painful that tears were about to fall, but she still had to endure it, for fear that if her hands shook, the wine in her hands would spill on Xu Miaoyun's body, in exchange for even greater torture.

Don't look at Xu Miaoyun's talent is famous, she is beautiful and beautiful, but once she is unhappy, she will take people out and vent her anger. Her method of torturing people is hidden. .

At this time, Xiao Jingtian was very excited, and ordered people to roast the prey they hunted today and share it with everyone.

The soldiers at the border saw a lot of yellow sand and iron armor, and the female officers who came with Ning Yuezhao stood out in this camp full of men.Xiao Jingtian's order undoubtedly gave those soldiers a chance, and every single one of them ignored their own food and showed courteousness to the ladies' seats frequently.

Seeing a school lieutenant walking towards him with a plate of mutton, Xu Miaoyun's calm face became even more gloomy.Li Bai, who was standing beside her, hurriedly greeted the captain when he approached the desk, and took the plate, "Thank you, General."

After all, they were officials on board, and the soldiers didn't dare to be too abrupt. Seeing that they didn't want to talk to them, they walked away.

Li Bai put the things on the table, "Miss..."

"I've given you a reward." Xu Miaoyun said disgustedly.The smell of the mutton gave her a headache, and the noise around her made her headache even worse.

The atmosphere in the army was still warm, and the soldiers were in high spirits. Some people took out the matouqin and Jiegu, and sang frontier ditties around the campfire.

Although Ning Yuezhao couldn't understand the local dialect, she could hear the helplessness of military career and homesickness from the melody.

Wu Feisheng, who had been overwhelmed by Ning Yuezhao during the day, walked down the stage carrying a wine bowl, and said to the empress on the emperor's throne, "Your Majesty, I would like to offer you a toast at the end!"

"Bold!" Someone from the accompanying civil servants immediately said, "Your Majesty has a body of gold, you are really rude!"

"It's okay." The babbling song was still being sung, and Ning Yuezhao waved her hand to calm the agitated people at the civil servants' table.

Wu Feisheng snorted softly and drank the wine in the bowl with his head up.

Ning Yuezhao also drank a bowl of wine unambiguously, and poured the bowl back after drinking.

"Your Majesty is really huge, a hero among women!" Seeing the other soldiers, they also took wine bowls and wanted to toast.

Ning Yuezhao was in the mood to drink today, and she would not refuse anyone who came, and the jar of wine on her case soon ran out.

Lan Sha, who was in charge of serving the wine, could only look at Xiao Jingtian for help, and sure enough, Xiao Jingtian also frowned.

He directly picked up a jar of wine and blocked the people who came to toast, "Okay, each of you has a big bowl, do you want to make His Majesty drunk? If you want to drink, come to me!"

Those soldiers who still want to come again can only secretly regret that they came a step late, and they can only admit defeat when they meet the general with a dark face.

Seeing that everyone lacked interest, Xiao Jingtian walked among the soldiers and drank with everyone.After pushing the cups and changing the cups several times, the atmosphere was heated up again.

The army hadn't been so lively for a long time, Xiao Jingtian looked up at the throne, and saw Ning Yuezhao resting his chin with one hand, already feeling a little drunk.

In the middle of the moon, the soldiers in the camp were almost drunk, and they helped them back to the tent in twos and threes.

"Your Majesty, this servant will help you go back and rest." Lan Sha looked at Ning Yuezhao distressedly, she hardly ate anything tonight, even though Xiao Jingtian fended off the toasting soldiers, Ning Yuezhao still drank a lot by herself liquor.

Ning Yuezhao nodded drowsily, Lan Sha was about to help her, but she saw Xiao Jingtian flashing in front of the Wumu case at some point.

"General!" Lan Sha exclaimed.

Xiao Jingtian had already hugged Ning Yuezhao, who had some unknown personnel, "I will send His Majesty back to the tent!"

His whole body exudes a strong aroma of wine, but his eyes are clear.

Ning Yuezhao felt that she was hugged by a pair of strong arms. She struggled to open her eyes, but she couldn't see the face of the person in front of her. She could only vaguely see the moon hanging high in the sky under the sky. The wheel exudes a cool brilliance.

"If the moon is finally bright and clean, I will not give up the ice and snow for you..."

Xiao Jingtian hugged her arm tightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "I always read some poems that I would not understand!"

The big tent for the emperor to rest had been prepared long ago, and the imperial guards guarding outside the tent were a little surprised that it was Xiao Jingtian who sent the empress back, but still opened the curtain respectfully.

It was cold in the early autumn night, and the stove was lit early in the tent, and the fragrance from the mixed auspicious animal incense burner made people almost drunk.

Xiao Jingtian put Ning Yuezhao on the couch and was about to leave when her jade arm that was originally around his neck tightened suddenly——

"Jiang Nian..."

Xiao Jingtian froze, looking at her beautiful face under the dim light, he knew that she was very drunk.

They all say the truth after drinking, even though Jiang Nian may have something to do with the death of the first emperor, can she still not forget him?
At this time, very light footsteps came from the outer tent, and it was Lan Sha and Zhu Yun who followed.

Xiao Jingtian took her hand off his neck and turned around without saying a word.

"Jiang Nian, don't go...I know I was wrong!"

Xiao Jingtian had only seen her stubborn and stubborn, and it was the first time he heard her speak in such a begging tone.

He turned his head and took a deep look at the person on the couch. Ning Yuezhao was already so drunk that he was unconscious, and kept whispering.

Xiao Jingtian turned around and strode away from the big tent.

 There is one more tonight.
