The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 66 Li Lang is mighty

The sky is blue and the winter sun is high.

Today is the day for Da Qi’s military parade. Da Qi founded the country by force. Over the past 300 years since its founding, the triennial military parade has been a tradition of Da Qi in the past dynasties.

Testing military strength and demonstrating national prestige is a major event that attracts the attention of everyone from the princes and generals to the people of Qi Dynasty.

In the vast expanse of territory outside Chang'an City, 300,000 heavily armored elite soldiers were waiting like an endless black tide, reflecting the rising sun's chilling metallic light.

A huge handsome flag with the character "李" inlaid with black tiger stripes was flying fiercely in the wind.

At the front of the team, there is a person in the lead, wearing a gold helmet, silver armor, a black cloak, holding a twelve-peak silver spear, and his body is as straight as a sword, it is Li Ling.

This is the most elite army of Da Qi - the Patrol Division. It is the last barrier to defend the imperial city and the most solid armor for the imperial power.

Li Ling is the commander of this team.

Accompanied by the loud horn sound, thousands of drummers waved their drum hammers at the same time, and the rumble of the drums resounded through the silent sky.

The exciting drum beat sounded, and the silence between heaven and earth suddenly returned.

Li Ling dismounted, knelt on one knee, and gave a military salute to Emperor Ming in the imperial city.

Standing on the high platform of the city gate, Emperor Ming, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, announced the beginning of the military parade.

Li Ling stood up and faced the beacon tower in front. He took the iron bow from the deputy general, took the rocket, put on the bow and drew the sword, his movements were smooth and neat.

Accompanied by the whistle of "whoosh", I saw that the rocket rushed straight towards the beacon tower without any deviation. In an instant, the beacon tower was ignited with raging fire.

"Great Qi is mighty! Great Qi is mighty! Great Qi is mighty!" Hundreds of thousands of soldiers held swords and halberds, and their shouts resounded through the sky.

After the prelude, there is a drill with real weapons, cavalry, infantry, crossbowmen, and death squads.

In an instant, the sky outside Chang'an City was filled with yellow sand. Under the command of Li Ling, this most elite army was strict and disciplined. These passionate men spent every sweat and blood to show their strength and passion in front of the emperor and the people.

On the main stage of the city wall that is hundreds of meters high, there is a cloud-like canopy, and the emperor, queen, concubines, and princes and princesses are sitting there. The princes, generals, ministers, and ministers are located on the left and right sides of the main stage in order according to the monuments. The north and south sides of the city wall stretch for thousands of miles.

Crowded in the darkness were ordinary people watching the military parade.

The seat of the Zhenguo Palace is next to the main stage, which has the best view besides the high platform. Jing Shu is sitting on the seat, and every heroic posture of Li Lingli commanding thousands of troops under the city can be completely seen.

In her eyes.

Not only Jingshu, but almost all the girls in Chang'an City had their eyes on him today.

This is the youngest commander in Daqi's military parade. He is young, heroic and high-spirited.

Including one of the group of princesses under the gorgeous canopy on the royal high platform, her wet eyes were fixed on the most dazzling figure on the field.

"Second uncle is so mighty!" Brother Kun, who was sandwiched between Xu Wanning and Jing Shu, looked at Li Ling on the court and clapped his hands and cheered.

Xu Wanning smiled and touched her son's head: "When you grow up, will you be as powerful as your second uncle?"

Brother Kun grinned, raised his head and nodded to his mother: "I want to be a general when I grow up, just like my second uncle."

Xu Wanning touched her son's head happily. After listening to her great-grandson's words, the old lady sitting in the front seat looked at him lovingly and said with a smile: "When Kun'er grows up, we should be more powerful than your second uncle."

Xu Wanning smiled and said to her son: "In two years, mother will ask Brother Kun to have a martial arts master teach you kung fu so that you can become a general in the future."

Li Xian sat next to Xu Wanning and rolled his eyes at him when he heard this.

Xu Wanning noticed the glare coming from her side and turned around to look back fiercely.

Li Xian whispered in a voice that only the two of him could hear: "No matter how good you are at learning kung fu or wielding a sword, my son will naturally become the chief minister and prime minister in the future, and become a famous minister whose name will go down in history.

"

Xu Wanning glanced at him sideways and snorted coldly: "It's such a waste to be a civil servant. He's full of tricks. He doesn't look like a man at all."

Li Xian stared at her and said in a low voice: "Can you speak more politely?"

Xu Wanning's eyes widened: "That's it, mom. If you don't like hearing it, get out of here immediately and go back to find that foxy Niwai."

Li Xian's face turned livid with anger. He was afraid of quarreling with her in front of everyone, so he shut his mouth angrily.

Seeing that he was finally defeated by her, Xu Wanning shook her head slightly, and finally showed a smug smile on her face.

It took Li Xian a while to calm down. He looked at his wife and said patiently: "How long are you going to end your quarrel with me?"

Xu Wanning sneered and said, "If you strangle that bitch to death with your own hands in front of me, I might consider giving you a good face."

Li Xian said angrily: "It's simply unreasonable."

Xu Wanning gave him a sharp look, snorted coldly, and turned away.

Li Xian said helplessly: "It's not like you don't know that Mei Niang was given by the emperor to me."

Before Li Xian could finish speaking, Xu Wanning grabbed the opportunity and said, "If you don't want to let go, just say you can't let go. Don't make excuses for me."

The two were bickering here when a female official came down from the high platform and slowly walked towards the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.

She held a gift box, walked up to the old lady, gave her a gift, and said, "My maid is ordered by the Ninth Princess to send a gift to the Crown Prince's wife. I hope the old lady will be accommodating."

The old lady asked with concern: "How is the princess doing lately?"

The female officer replied: "The princess is well these days."

When the old lady heard that her granddaughter was well, she showed a happy smile on her face.

The female officer continued: "The princess said that when the prince got married, she was living in the inner palace and could not come to the palace to watch the ceremony, so she ordered the maid to send a gift to the lady to express her feelings."

The old lady replied: "The princess is interested. In that case, you can send it over." As she said that, the old lady winked at Nanny Xu beside her.

Aunt Xu understood and stepped forward to lead the female officer towards Jing Shu.

Jingshu and the old lady were sitting not far away, so she naturally heard what the female officer said to the old lady just now.

The female officer was led by Nanny Xu to Jingshu, and repeated to Jingshu what she had just said to the old lady.

Since she is a female official in the palace, her etiquette is naturally thorough. Although she always lowered her head respectfully in front of Jingshu, her eyes were looking at Jingshu carefully from time to time.

Jing Shu greeted her with a few polite words, ordered someone to take the gift, and replied calmly: "Thank you, Ninth Princess."

After the female official left, Xu Wanning on the side whispered to Jingshu through Brother Kun covering her mouth: "The emperor's cousin never likes to deal with others. You just married into the house and you have never met her. It's not possible."

I think she is interested in you."

As she said that, she quietly pulled Jingshu's sleeves: "Open it and see, what is it?"

Jingshu took the box under the table and opened it, only to find a pair of words.

She unfolded it and looked at it, and what she read was: The Qin Dynasty bright moon and the Han Dynasty passed, and the people of the long march of thousands of miles have not yet returned. But the flying generals of the Dragon City are here, and Hu Ma will not be taught to cross the Yin Mountains.

It's not an authentic work by a famous artist, and the handwriting is soft, but it looks like it was written by her herself.

Xu Wanning stretched her neck, glanced briefly and asked, "What kind of poem is this?"

Jingshu put away her words and said calmly: "Writing about war."

Xu Wanning muttered to herself in confusion: "This delicate imperial cousin, why did I give you such a poem?"

Yes! She is not a general, and she does not have to protect her family and country, so naturally this is not a gift given to her sincerely.

Jingshu raised her eyes and looked towards the high platform, where she also saw a pair of heavy eyes looking towards her.
