Chapter 126 Welcome to the Holy Maiden (2)
Before Mengzhao could welcome the return of the Saint Maiden, the battle in Taihe City finally came to an end. Meng Luo led his army to successfully break through and fled to Shelongzhao.
The subordinates thought Gu Zongyang would be happy, but they saw Gu Zong's cold face. Meng Luo broke through the defense line that Gu Zongyang took great pains to defend. It would be strange if his face looked good!
In the end, the Han and Tang Dynasties captured Taishe City. Gu Zongyang did not send troops into the city at the first time, but sent a letter to Yu Mengcheng and asked their people to take over Taihe City.
When Meng Cheng received the letter, he immediately sent Mengzhao soldiers to take over Taishe City. In his opinion, Gu Zongyang's approach was for their consideration, and such a great gift was indeed a bit heavy.
Gu Zongyang naturally had his own considerations. The people of Mengzhao, the people of Taihe City, were very hostile to the Han and Tang Imperial Guards. Risky entry into the city would definitely attract the people of Mengzhao to resist, so he needed Mengcheng's assistance. He did not want Mengzhao to destroy Taihe City, which had been built for thousands of years in the imperial guards.
As soon as Li Xuansheng arrived in Beiming City, he was immediately warmly welcomed by Meng Cheng. But Li Xuansheng clearly felt that Meng Cheng was enthusiastic, mostly with a disguised smile. People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and it was not an exaggeration to use it at this moment.
At the night welcome banquet, Li Xuansheng saw Yin Ruoli wearing the Qingluan Saint's uniform. Qin Ming was on the left and right, and Ao Shuang stood behind and accepted the salutes of everyone. However, the respectful appearance of everyone to him made Li Xuansheng feel over the head.
In Mengzhao, the Saint Qingluan, is equivalent to the human emperor's agent, and even the king has to be polite to him. Li Xuansheng grew up in Qinghai and naturally cannot understand this fanatical belief in such a place where he relies on the heavens to make a living.
In the eyes of Meng Cheng and others, Li Xuansheng saw it as hope, the excitement of the light finally coming.
"What a bunch of lunatics!"
After feeling bored, Li Xuansheng stood up and left his seat. Walking alone on the streets of Beiming City, every household in Beiming City hung golden lanterns and fusang branches were inserted at the door.
"The human emperor is above, the green phoenix is bright and the golden cage shines in the sky, and Fusang protects it!"
Hearing the people's prayers, Li Xuansheng smiled and said that Yin Ruoli has become the god of blessings for the people.
"Crown Prince!"
Hearing someone calling him, Li Xuansheng looked back and said, "Brother Tu? Why are you coming out too?"
Tu Yan said casually, "I see if you come out, you are afraid that something will happen, so you will come out!"
"What can happen to me? Since I'm out, let's take a look at this Beiming City together!"
“Okay.”
The two of them walked in a row and came to the outer city of Beiming City Xinghui Tower, which was the venue for the people of Mengzhao to sacrifice every year. Because of the return of the saint, it has now become a lively ocean.
This site is built according to the twenty-four constellations celestial positions, each with a fire platform, and the Xinghui Tower is located at its end.
At this time, twenty-four fire platforms were lit, and the stars were hung with golden lanterns on the roof, and the enthusiastic people were singing and dancing around the fire platforms.
The two climbed up to Xinghui Tower, and Li Xuansheng noticed that the twenty-four fire platforms were connected together, which were a ball of flames. When the Xinghui Tower was projected, it was the wooden stick of the torch.
Seeing the scene downstairs, Li Xuansheng exclaimed, "It's really spectacular!"
As a survivor of South Vietnam, Tu Yan also had such activities when they celebrated the festival. However, Mengzhao's scene of dancing with fire made him a little curious.
Li Xuansheng thought of the words in the classics before, "In ancient times, the Emperor of Humans used fire as the record, so he was the master of fire and was named after the fire. He watched the stars above, observed the five woods below, and taught the people to cultivate.
As the former emperor of the Central Plains, I didn’t expect that the people who are still paying homage to him are the Man Miao people from Nanzhao.”
Tu Yan held the handrail in her left hand and said, "Since ancient times, the king was successful and the enemy was defeated. Emperor Yan was defeated by Emperor Huang and immigrated to the wilderness in the southwest, which created a world."
"Yes! As an emperor, the human emperor Yan Emperor did something beyond the reach of others.
He spent his whole life taking the people of the world as his responsibility and strived for peace for all ages. At least no one among the emperors I know can do it.
Taizong once said that water can carry boats, or overturn the boats. Now it seems that it is correct to arrive."
Tu Yan said in a lost voice, "But now peace is only temporary! When the Saint Qingluan comes back, Shelongzhao will definitely find a way to prove who is the orthodox emperor of the human emperor! A war between the two sides is absolutely inevitable.
These people are afraid that they will never have to expect that they will first face the disaster of war rather than the prosperous times.”
Li Xuansheng nodded and said, "All we can do is wait for the storm to come!
Brother Tu, now the expansion of the Feiyu Army has been completed, and their drill will be given to you in the future."
Tu Yan was overjoyed and said, "I will definitely live up to my mission!"
In the study of Xiao Chenping, the old fifth respectfully reported the news to Xiao Chenping, "Young Master, Hu Yanjue did not come forward at this Turkic royal court meeting, but was replaced by his son."
Xiao Chenping put down the book and looked at Lao Wu, "How is that chess piece now?"
"He has been assigned a suitable identity, and now he is the escort of Yelu Tai, the young master of the Yelu family."
"Well! It's done well. I hope he won't let me down!"
Lao Wu asked for instructions, "Young Master, the Second Master has told me about this matter. I wonder what Young Master said, "Young Master, what do you think of Second Master?"
"Uncle Second has his own master, so he naturally has to consider his master. As long as it is beneficial to my Xiao family, I never care about the opinions of others!
Lao Wu, if you meet your second uncle in the future, you can respect it appropriately. Don’t let anyone think that the Xiao family lives in it.”
"I understand! Young Master!"
"Lao Wu, you know the situation in Nanzhao."
"Well, I have learned from the spy that Shelongzhao did not take any action as expected. The Dali Chiyun Army has begun to deploy troops in recent days, but it has not been mobilized on a large scale."
Xiao Chenping murmured to himself, "Chiyun Army! Zhulong Guard! Shelong Army! These are the three main forces in Nanzhao!
Once a war begins, it will be a life-and-death battle.”
Lao Wu knew very well about the situation in the southwest of the Han and Tang Dynasties. He thought of the guy first, "Young Master, do you think the prince can go further this time?"
Xiao Chenping held his cheek with his left hand and held a book with his right hand, "When two armies fight, there will be one injury. If you become a human, leave it to fate! I think Xuansheng will seize the opportunity that belongs to him.
Besides, there are people he must protect there!"
"It's a pity that Miss Yin has become a saint now, and she will never be able to get along with him in this life!"
Xiao Chenping rolled his eyelids and looked at Lao Wu, "Who said that if you become a saint, you can't get together?
If that's true, how was Yin Ruoli born?"
Lao Wu thought for a moment, "But did Mengzhao rule..."
"It's just that once you get married, you will lose your identity as a saint! That's why Zhulong found a chance to turn things around!"
Xiao Chenping closed the letter and said calmly, "Now our Majesty does not need any human emperor's agent at all. What he wants is to make Nanzhao completely surrender to himself.
To put it bluntly, Yin Ruoli is just the reason why His Majesty started the war!"
Chapter completed!
