Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 444 Inspecting Military Affairs
The morning sunlight shines through the windows.

A jade arm stretched out from the bright yellow brocade quilt. Wu Qingluan stood up and realized that he was naked. He immediately pulled up the quilt to cover the spring light.

Suddenly someone hugged Liu waist. She lowered her head and saw her eyelashes trembling slightly, showing a hint of shyness.

His Royal Highness the Prince opened his eyes, and his eyes, which had become an adult, were full of care: "Are you satisfied, my dear concubine?"

"Don't be ashamed, who is your beloved concubine!" Wu Qingluan blushed.

Xiao Xuance's pupils shrank: "Damn it, you want to pick up your pants and run away again! I agreed to all your requests last night! You can't just ignore me when you're done feeling happy!"

"To shut up!"

Her pretty face was so red that it seemed like it was about to bleed. Wu Qingluan pretended to be strong and said deliberately: "Aren't you lining up all over the world to choose a concubine? Just go ahead and choose!"

"I don't have a choice, I don't have a choice! It's up to you, you will be my princess!"

Xiao Xuance said and pulled Wu Qingluan down, covered him with a quilt and said forcefully: "You don't want to go anywhere today!"

The eunuch outside the dormitory said loudly: "Your Highness, it's time for morning classes!"

"What the hell! Even if your Majesty is here today, don't fucking bother me, get out of here!"

Not to mention that although he has not yet become emperor, his temperament of a faint king has gradually been revealed.

It wasn't until noon that Xiao Xuance dragged Wu Qingluan to the Imperial Garden.

With a plop, he knelt down to Her Majesty the Empress: "Sister!"

"What are you doing?" Xiao Linglong glanced at Wu Qingluan, whose face was red. How could she not know that this girl lived in the East Palace last night.

Xiao Xuance said happily: "I want Wu Xiaoniao to be my imperial concubine!"

"Well, it depends on whether Qingluan agrees with this matter! What do you want it for?" Her Majesty the Empress laughed: "Qingluan girl, what do you say?"

His Royal Highness immediately became nervous, and it took a while before Wu Yatou let out a soft hum.

Xiao Xuance suddenly jumped up excitedly and hugged Wu Qingluan around.

Xiao Linglong coughed twice, which made the two people stop. Little did they know that the happiest person was actually Her Majesty the Empress.

Our pigs can finally grow cabbage!

Xiao Linglong immediately said: "Since you two are in love, then when Zhao Kang comes back, send someone to invite Qingluan's family to the imperial capital."

"First of all, it's you, Xuance!"

"Sister, tell me." Xiao Xuance said with a flattering smile.

Xiao Linglong: "Don't fall behind in your homework and studies."

"No problem! Guaranteed to complete the task."

Xiao Linglong looked at Wu Qingluan again: "Then Qingluan."

"Your Majesty, please tell me." Wu Qingluan whispered.

Xiao Linglong: "Although you have often entered the palace during this period, you were still a private woman before. Therefore, you have to live in the palace for three days out of every seven days. You can live wherever you want."

Wu Qingluan said in a panic: "Do you want to learn palace etiquette?"

She has been accustomed to freedom since she was a child, and is troubled by the red tape.

"That's not true. The main thing is to get familiar with the environment in the palace. OK, that's all. Go down. Xuance will give you a day off to take Qingluan around. As long as you don't leave the imperial capital, you can go wherever you want."

Watching the two of them go away, Her Majesty the Empress's long-cherished wish came to an end, and she felt that even the air was extra sweet today.

Our ancestors wish Qingluan to be pregnant with the prince soon!at this time.

Zhao Kang didn't know that as soon as he left the imperial capital, his apprentice took the form of someone else. Strictly speaking, it was a good brother who took the form of his apprentice.

He was wading across mountains and rivers to the new army station. Accompanying him was Yan Junmao, the left minister of the Ministry of War, and three hundred soldiers.

"National Master, behind the mountain in front is the station of the New Army's Qinglong Army, with fifty thousand people. In addition, the White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu Army are in different places." Yan Junmao said.

Zhao Kang nodded and said with a smile: "Your Ministry of War is more familiar with things like military training than I am, so you can do whatever you want. I don't care about the process, I only care about the results."

After hearing this, Yan Junmao immediately promised: "I will never live up to the expectations of the national master."

After crossing the mountain pass, Zhao Kang could already hear the sound of chants. Looking down, he saw an open field where tens of thousands of horses and horses were practicing together. The momentum was so majestic and shocking.

After arriving at the station to verify their identity, Li Long, the commander of the Qinglong Army, immediately came to see him.

"The last general, Li Long, meets the Imperial Master!"

Looking at this rough middle-aged man, Zhao Kang smiled and said: "I remember you, the former Zuojun captain. After the battle of Jinlinguan, you were promoted and you became a general. Not bad!"

Li Long was so excited that he didn't expect that Zhao Kang would still remember him. He clenched his right fist and hit his chest hard: "Jinlinguan can fight side by side with the national master, which is the greatest honor in this life!"

Zhao Kang said seriously: "Being able to fight side by side with you is also my greatest honor!"

Yan Junmao looked at Li Long with some envy. After the battle, there were not many people who followed Zhao Kang to defend Jinlin Pass and survived, but those who survived were greatly rewarded.

For example, the Li Long in front of me was just a small captain before, but now he has become a general commanding 5 people.

Even his immediate superior, Minister of War Li Yuan, treated him politely when he saw him.

Taking Zhao Kang into the military camp, Li Long introduced: "National Master, the Qinglong Army is now divided into two armies, the left and right armies, all of which are cavalry."

"Daily drills include cavalry shooting, formation charging, encirclement and killing, detours, etc. What is going on in the front is the cavalry collision."

"The two groups of men and horses launched a charge together. After one round, they still continued on horseback until all of them were killed."

Zhao Kang nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "In addition to testing the riding skills, this also requires a lot of soldiers' spear skills."

Li Long smiled and said: "Yes, cavalry mainly rely on high mobility and the lance in their hands to crush infantry, so these two things have always been the top priority of training."

Following Li Long's words, Zhao Kang saw two groups of cavalry in the distance holding wooden sticks of the same length.

The two armies launched a charge at the same time with a distance of 500 meters.

In the first round of handover, countless people were knocked off their horses by their opponents. It was common for cavalry to get injured during training. Only those with the most superb riding skills could persist to the end.

After the second round of charge, the number of people was reduced by more than half in an instant. Zhao Kang had already arrived on the high platform and watched the soldiers drill.

His thoughts went back to the time when he was guarding Jinlin Pass, and the blood he was immersed in instantly began to boil!

"Li Long prepare a war horse for me!"

Li Long did not dare to disobey and immediately asked his deputy to prepare the horses. He came up and said, "National Master, do you also want to participate in the collision training?"

"good."

Zhao Kang laughed and told the whole army: "Whoever can knock me off my horse will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and will be promoted to three levels in a row!"

Hearing this, all the soldiers around him were moved.

Soon, everyone in the Qinglong Army was notified of the news that National Advisor Zhao Kang had come to inspect military affairs, and also the fact that Zhao Kang had also participated in the cavalry collision training and the generous rewards Zhao Kang had promised.

In an instant, the entire Qinglong Army was boiling!
