The devil is coming

Chapter 469 Military Parade!
To be on the safe side, Uncle Zheng finally chose to stab Pi Xiu's mouth with the knife and scabbard.
Pixiu seems to be in pain and resisting. As a Pixiu, it seems not to know that it has the ability to "swallow things".
However, Uncle Zheng always wanted to have a cool scene of using a sword on the battlefield like Jingnan Hou, so he could only force it to open.
initially narrow,
No matter how hard I poke, I can't get it in.
Pixiu burst into tears,
But slowly, a blue halo began to appear on Pixiu's belly, and then the blue halo began to move upwards, and finally, it moved to the knife in Uncle Zheng's hand.
"Buzz!"
Knife,
was sent in.
Pixiu was lying on the ground, breathing heavily. At this time, it didn't have the slightest bit of the might of a ferocious beast, as if its body had been completely hollowed out.
Uncle Zheng was a little surprised at first. He looked at his empty hands, and then a smile appeared on his face.
It seems,
The effect is good.
In this world, most of the monsters are just weird looking. If they are higher, they are psychic, which means they are spiritual.
The princess’s green python belongs to this category;
After that, the black cat that Uncle Zheng often played with and the fox that followed Xue San actually had their own special abilities.
Of course, this does not mean that the princess's green python is inferior to the black cat and fox. This thing cannot be compared simply by ranking, just like when Xue San directly assassinated the "sixth-grade warrior" King Fu.
If you really want to throw the black cat and the fox in front of the green python, the green python will definitely be able to devour them both, because the abilities of those two monsters are not in combat.
And "swallowing things" is Pixiu's ability.
It's impossible to swallow a warehouse, but there's no problem swallowing a knife.
Moreover, knives, like swords, need to be sacrificed and maintained. The aura on the sword can help Pixiu stabilize his body. At the same time, Pixiu can also help warm and nourish the treasure.
He knelt down and patted Pi Xiu on the head. Then, Uncle Zheng placed all the dried meats that Siniang had brought in front of Pi Xiu.
Road:
"You're tired. Take a good rest. Eat more after you've rested."
then,
Uncle Zheng stood up, straightened his clothes, reached out to hold Siniang's hand, and left slowly under Pixiu's gaze.
He is simply a blameless and courageous scumbag who follows his original wife after she lifts up his pants.
In the evening, as usual, Uncle Zheng took a bath and was about to go to bed when he saw Siniang sitting behind the table beside the bed writing a gift list.
No matter what, the relationship cannot be broken. It is not just to kneel down and lick someone intentionally. The relationship gained by kneeling and licking is useless at the critical moment, but there is no need to get into a relationship with Bai in order to highlight one's own aloofness. Like a lotus flower.
When entering Beijing this time, what gifts should be brought, which kind should be given to whom, and which gift should be given with the best effect. These are all things that Si Niang needs to consider.
Uncle Zheng is lying on the bed,
Turn sideways,
Looking at Siniang’s graceful and plump body from the side and her slightly frowning eyebrows,
It feels quite like a husband lying in bed with his wife beside him, counting the favors this month.
perhaps,
This is the atmosphere of home.
Uncle Zheng yawned,
fell asleep.
After the imperial edict came, Uncle Zheng still did not leave immediately. First of all, it was because Feng Guan and Zhang Yuanshan arrived in time, so they left enough time for Uncle Zheng to return to Beijing. At the same time, they were traveling all the way and needed to Take a break and take a breath; secondly, Uncle Zheng also needs to deal with some matters.
Of course, the second reason is just one reason. After all, the specific affairs of Snow Customs are actually handled by demon kings. Uncle Zheng is more of a mascot.
But mascots also need to be pulled out from time to time to show off.
Therefore,
The military parade was scheduled for three days later.
held as scheduled.
The venue for the military parade was not south of Xueguan, but to the north of Xueguan. It was even a little far north, on the snowy plains. At the same time, some elders of the savage tribes were invited to come and see it.
This morning,
Uncle Zheng put on the armor under the service of Siniang. It was the golden armor given by the emperor.
While wearing Si Niang, she smiled and said:
"My lord, you can wear this armor when attending events, but please don't wear it outside."
"I'm not stupid. If you wear this, it will attract too much hatred."
"Well, let's wait until A Ming wakes up and then put it on for A Ming."
"A Cheng said the same thing."
"Haha." Siniang herself also laughed, but as if she thought of something, she said: "My lord, the mountain chief over the school came to see me last night and said something."
"What's the matter?"
"It is said that this rural examination was set up by the imperial court in Yingdu. Originally, according to the decree of the imperial court, we had quotas here. After all, Jin land is now in chaos due to war, and everything is waiting to be done. The difficulty of this rural examination is actually not that big. Even scholars can be recognized directly by the signs issued by various places.
Therefore, many teachers in our school are interested. They are originally from Jin Dynasty and want to try their luck in Yingdu. If they pass the provincial examination, they will have the opportunity to become an official.
The blind man knew this and agreed with them to go. "
"and then?"
"Those teachers went there after the spring, but they brought back a letter from the trustee a while ago, saying that they were not eligible to take the admission test at Yingdu Academic Affairs with the documents and directions issued by our Uncle Pingye Mansion."
"I remember. Anyway, I have to pass through Yingdu this time when I enter Beijing, so I can ask questions."
"What the blind man means is that the imperial court wants to select Jin officials in the Jin region through the imperial examination system, and in order to appease the local area, many Jin officials were placed in their place of origin after being selected.
If our Xueguan teachers can pass the exam and arrange to return to their places of origin, we will save trouble and have an explanation to the court. After all, like the previous structure where one general is in charge of both the military and the local area, we can temporarily appease the local area and stabilize it. It's okay to deal with the war, but now that the situation in Jin has stabilized, the court doesn't want to do this anymore. "
"Well, I see."
After putting on his armor, Uncle Zheng walked out of the hall.
Outside, Zhang Yuanshan and Feng Guan were already waiting there. Naturally, they needed to participate in this military parade.
In fact, Feng Guan was lucky. He was very observant at Xue Customs, served delicious food and drinks every day, and accepted the gift list. Anyway, he had made up his mind and came all the way to announce the decree just to gain seniority and gain some benefits. This kind of person is at ease and practical.
On the other hand, it was Zhang Yuanshan. According to Xiao Yibo's feedback, he was basically outside, either watching the lives of the soldiers and civilians, or wandering around the city walls. It could be said that he had no time to spare.
You can say that he is curious, but it is unknown whether there is something deeper in this curiosity.
In addition, as the imperial court continued to promote local governance by officials and take back the power of local governance from the hands of generals, Zhang Yuanshan's move became even more interesting.
"See uncle."
"See uncle."
After these two announced the decree, they had to lower their posture in front of Uncle Zheng.
"You two please."
"Uncle please."
The three of them left the Earl's Mansion, and there was an exquisite carriage parked at the door. Sitting in the carriage was Xiong Liqing.
military parade military parade,
Naturally, he had to bring the latest "trophies" with him to consolidate his influence in the hearts of the sergeants.
What Uncle Zheng wants is the feeling that when you land on shore, wave your hand, and the army will turn against you;
This is the creation of a kind of personality cult in the military;
Moreover, this is indispensable. If the soldiers don't worship you, then they have to worship others, such as... the imperial edict, such as... Emperor Yan.
And this is a situation that Uncle Zheng will never allow to happen. How can the soldiers and horses he has worked so hard to pull out follow others?
In fact, even the princess herself knows that in the past two years, she will definitely become Uncle Zheng's brag capital, but this is her value. Since she chooses to follow him to the Yan Kingdom, this process is inevitable.
She didn't feel sorry for herself, she thought broadly.
Siniang once talked to Uncle Zheng about the difference between Xiong Liqing and the blind daughter-in-law Er Yuexin.
Both women are actually very smart.
But Yuexin was born in the Wen family, inherited Wen Sutong's "housekeeping" style, and knew how to settle down and take care of everything;
Xiong Liqing was born in the royal family. Although her personal experience is not rich, she naturally knows how to look at things from a superior perspective, and naturally she will not try to make mistakes.
On the contrary, Liu Ruqing is a woman who doesn't have many opinions of her own, and is more like duckweed floating on the river surface. However, this is also where her charm lies.
Sometimes, simply being a vase is a skill that cannot be learned, and you can only blame your parents if you don't accept it.
In the carriage, Xiong Liqing was dressed in gorgeous clothes. The clothes were embroidered by Siniang herself. They were modeled on the phoenix robes that Siniang had in her mind. Of course, there were naturally many illegal and illegal things on the clothes, such as the use of gold-edged materials, such as Phoenix embroidery, but Xiong Liqing is a princess herself, and Da Chu is also a great country recognized by Da Yan as an equal. No one will say anything if she wears this.
On the contrary, even if Emperor Yan himself is here and sees this dress with his own eyes, he will not feel unhappy, because only a princess dressed like this is a real princess, and can the Yan people's pride reach the level of peak.
When she was putting on this phoenix robe the day before yesterday, Xiong Liqing asked Siniang with a smile:
Sister, have you already made these clothes?
Siniang replied:
"Well, I've made three sets of dragon robes."
"Your Highness, drink some water. The sun is shining brightly outside."
Zhao Cheng came over with water.
Xiong Liqing shook her head and said, "I won't drink anymore. By the way, my uncle hasn't come out yet?"
"It should be soon, princess."
"Ugh."
Xiong Liqing sighed, she had already packed up and waited, but Uncle Zheng was still dilly-dallying, and instead wanted to make herself wait for him here.
Fortunately,
Xiong Liqing was used to this kind of thing. She had been exposed to it a lot these days, and she gradually discovered that her husband was more particular about some living habits than she was.
at last,
Uncle Zheng and others came out. Uncle Zheng rode Pixiu and walked at the front of the team.
Feng Guan and Zhang Yuanshan followed behind on horseback. The team marched directly out of the north gate and into the snowy field.
The parade platform was made of wooden frames and tamped with mud, and it was filled with Dayan Black Dragon Flags and Zheng Zi Flags.
When Uncle Zheng's team came over, a group of savage elders who had been waiting for a long time immediately knelt down and shouted:
"Uncle Fukang."
"Uncle Fukang."
Under the gaze of everyone, Uncle Zheng reached out and patted Pixiu's head under his crotch.
Pixiu understands,
open mouth,
Lift the front hooves,
next moment,
A barbaric knife spit out directly from his mouth.
Uncle Zheng was a sixth-grade warrior after all. He held the scabbard with his left hand, drew the sword with his right hand, and raised it forward.
Pixiu also immediately kicked off his hind legs, raising his body as high as possible to make Uncle Zheng on his back more powerful, and at the same time let out a long hiss.
The surrounding Xuehai cavalry drew their swords at the same time and tapped their armor neatly, creating a chilling sound.
Uncle Zheng shouted:
"Great Yan is mighty!"
A group of snow customs knights shouted:
"My uncle is mighty!"
"My uncle is mighty!"
Uncle Zheng shouted again:
"Big swallow wins!"
"My uncle is victorious!"
"My uncle is victorious!"
For a moment, the roar soared into the sky, and the surrounding savage nobles felt sweat on their foreheads.
Although the number of Xuehuan's cavalry is not large, their armor is excellent and their riding and shooting skills are top-notch. They are not inferior to the elite cavalry of the Jingnan Army.
This kind of iron cavalry can often be used as one against five in the snowfield.
In the past, the Marquis of Jingnan led [-] troops into the snowy plains, killing tribes and villages along the way. It was unstoppable. Now, without the leadership of the king, the savage tribes in the snowy fields are already in disarray. In fact, they are even worse than before.
And then,
A swordsman dressed in white and wearing a bamboo hat slowly walked out from the back of the team.
For a time, it attracted everyone's attention.
Even the two imperial envoys Feng Guan and Zhang Yuanshan who followed Uncle Zheng to observe did not know that when they left the city, there was this person in the team.
The princess opened the car curtain slightly and watched the swordsman in white walk past her car.
Zhao Cheng, who was waiting on the side, said curiously:
"Who is this?"
immediately,
Zhao Cheng suddenly realized,
Covered his mouth.
When the swordsman in white came over, many people had already guessed his identity.
There are four great swordsmen in Jianghu.
nowadays,
Very few people say this anymore.
The four swordsmen have become a thing of the past, because one person has surpassed the three who originally stood side by side.
That is,
The Sword Master of Jin.
In front of the snow customs,
Kill the savage general,
One sword can defeat a thousand knights.
Li Liangshen lived in the army, and the sword maker never fired a sword. Baili Sword once faced the Yan cavalry at the foot of Shangjing City and retreated without a fight.
Just ask the vast number of swordsmen between heaven and earth,
Who can compete with it?
Rumor has it that
After the battle at Xuehaiguan, the Sword Master of Jin was no longer heard from.
Some people say that he died in that battle. After all, no matter how you think about it, one person's record of killing thousands of knights is really too scary. How can it be done with human power?
Doing it forcefully is going against nature and is destined to end badly.
Some people say that he left Xuehaiguan after the war and wandered freely in the world. Maybe he was sitting in the corner of a teahouse with a sword and a pot of wine, listening to the storyteller telling stories about him;
Some people also say that the Sword Master may still be with Mr. Hirano!
This statement has been criticized by many people.
First of all, Uncle Ping Ye is from Yan, and Sword Master is from Jin.
The Yan people had a hatred for the Jin people to destroy the country. For the sake of expelling the barbarians, the Sword Master helped Ping Yebo, which was an extremely noble act. After the war, how could he become the Yan country's eagle dog just to get a high position after the war?
Secondly, a figure like the Sword Master has his own pattern beyond the four great swordsmen. If he holds the sword for others, wouldn't it shatter the dreams of all the young heroes and heroines in the art of swordsmanship?
however,
Today's scene,
It is tantamount to proving to the world,
Sword Saint of Jin,
Still at Snow Customs!
When the Sword Master appeared, all the savage nobles present felt a chill in their necks. The Sword Master was most famous for his battle, but he was forged with the blood of savages.
The sword master walked to Uncle Zheng's side,
reach out,
Lift the reins around Pixiu's neck.
Amid everyone’s astonishment,
Sword Saint of Jin,
Leading horses for Uncle Hirano.
The man was invited by Uncle Zheng, saying that he was asking for a favor to keep things going.
The sword master asked why?
Uncle Zheng said that he was going to the capital soon, and his original plan to send troops to the Xueyuan was shelved. Before going to the capital, he must first frighten the tribes in the Xueyuan so that they would not dare to make mistakes.
It's natural to use savages as an excuse.
Uncle Zheng is very good at deceiving honest people with his righteousness.
The sword master agreed,
But the Sword Master has a condition,
I can hold the horse for you, but you have to carry three days' worth of water for my water tank.
Therefore, in the past few days, every time after Uncle Zheng finished practicing his sword, he did not go directly to take a shower as before, but went to fetch water from the next door house.
He is distinguished in front of others, but suffers behind others;
The ancients should be sincere and do not deceive me.
But in the eyes of the people around him, everything is completely different.
Why is Marquis Jingnan so scary? It's because he has the Jingnan Army's cavalry following him, and Marquis Jingnan himself is a tyrannical presence at the peak of the third rank of martial arts.
Uncle Zheng has more than 2 snow sea cavalry under his command, and with the sword master at his side, people have to think, given time, wouldn't it be another Tian Wujing?
The team marched to the foot of the military parade,
Uncle Zheng turned over and came down.
Go to the carriage,
The carriage curtain was opened,
The princess came out.
Dressed in gorgeous clothes, she is really dazzling. This kind of royal temperament cannot be faked at all.
Uncle Zheng held the princess's hand and helped her get out of the car. Then, the uncle walked in front and the princess followed. Together, they walked slowly onto the parade platform.
The savage nobles around were all from the tribes near Xueguan, and those further away were not invited by Xueguan.
Based on the layout of the snowfield, it is naturally impossible to commit genocide. Just like the desert, the snowfield is also extremely vast. Only by pulling some parts and dividing them can the benefits be maximized.
Uncle Zheng today is wearing golden armor. Although this armor is a bit unwise in the battle formation, at this time, it is very good at creating momentum.
Liang Cheng stood behind Zheng Fan,
Uncle Zheng stood at the front alone.
Princess Dachu took the mallet from a strong man behind her and struck the drum.
The drums sound,
Not very powerful,
Not really sonorous,
Even a little bored.
But because the parade platform is so high, everyone from the savages to the Xuehaiguan soldiers can clearly see who is beating the drum.
Uncle Zheng turned around,
Looking at Xiong Liqing dripping with sweat,
This was not planned in the rehearsal, but Xiong Liqing was inspired to do it.
Uncle Zheng looked around again, and he saw a kind of fire in the eyes of the soldiers.
Beauty plays the drum,
In the eyes of literati who are more serious about etiquette, it may be a truly dissolute and immoral act. How can drumming in the army be trivial?
King You of Zhou Fenghuo played the princes with a smile in order to praise Si. It was considered absurd because he finally got away with it.
History judges heroes by success or failure;
And these soldiers in the army,
Looking at the noble figure in fine clothes beating the drum above,
It shows a kind of eagerness that is ready to burst out.
Tian Wujing was able to gain the collective allegiance of the Jingnan Army by virtue of his victorious battles and the skeleton of the Jingnan Army he created with his own hands;
This Snow Customs cavalry was also pulled out by Uncle Zheng himself. Although Uncle Zheng is not as good as Tian Wujing in the general direction, no matter what, Uncle Zheng has never lost since his debut in the army. .
The salary and silver are sufficient,
The treatment is adequate,
Give enough respect,
This is the basis for building an army.
In addition, the charisma of military commanders is also an important factor in maintaining the cohesion of an army.
Grassroots rise, with military achievements and knighthood in Guizhou;
The sword master leads the horse and lets the princess beat the drum for you!
From the beginning, the blind man and the others have been building Uncle Zheng as an "idol" in the military. Over the past few years, step by step, bit by bit, layer by layer, after constantly increasing the number, it has been consolidated.
Uncle Zheng raised his hand,
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
Below, tens of thousands of knights raised their swords together.
At this moment,
Uncle Zheng, who raised his hand, felt,
in the dark,
It seemed that he and the army below that he had personally created had a sense of connection.
Myself,
It is their role model, their idol, their worship, their... totem.
He believes,
From now on snow customs,
J,
It is impossible for him to rebel against Zheng Fan.
Even if a certain general deceives an army into fighting,
As long as he, Zheng Fan, stood on the city wall and waved to the army,
Rebellion will be quickly eliminated.
Anyway,
This feeling, this confidence,
It's really fascinating.
At this time, Feng Guan, who came up with Uncle Zheng, took the imperial edict and asked in a low voice:
"Uncle, can you declare the decree?"
There are two imperial edicts.
One is for Uncle Zheng, which is also the main purpose of this announcement.
The other one was to appease the entire Xue Customs Army, express the concerns from His Majesty the Emperor to the Xue Customs soldiers, and then reward them with some drinks, money and food.
The second edict was originally a tack, and it was a process. Generally, when the imperial court announced an edict to a general who was outside, it would include such an edict.
The reason why he waited until now to announce the decree was, firstly, because Feng Guan knew that there would be a military parade in three days, and it was more convenient to announce the decree at this time. Secondly, they were in a hurry and had to hurry, and the money, wine and meat to reward the soldiers would be time-consuming even if they were escorted from Yingdu. It took a long time, so when they were in the Earl's Mansion, they asked Uncle Zheng to borrow it first, and waited for this part to be added to the Ministry of Household's salary in the next quarter, which was considered a cheap thing to do.
After all, the first priority is to come over as soon as possible to announce to Uncle Zheng that he should enter the capital.
"can."
Uncle Zheng nodded, indicating that Feng Guan could announce the decree.
Feng Guan opened the imperial edict,
step forward,
The young eunuch's voice was very penetrating:
"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict:..."
Feng Guan stopped,
Because all the knights below are holding swords,
According to the Dayan tradition, when an order is announced in the army, the soldiers do not have to dismount and kneel to receive it, but can salute on horseback.
However, if you don’t dismount and kneel down, what’s the point of everyone raising their weapons?
Holding the sword against the imperial edict,
What does it mean?
Feng Guan was a little panicked.
He endured these emotions and shouted again:
"The emperor's edict is to carry out the destiny..."
Below, there are tens of thousands of soldiers, but no one has sheathed his sword.
On the military parade stage, the scene suddenly became awkward.
Feng Guan looked at Uncle Hirano next to him with a somewhat embarrassed expression, as if asking for help.
Uncle Zheng smiled slightly,
Put down my hand,
In an instant,
"Tiger!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers, put away your sword immediately!
----
Don’t wait any longer in the evening, you can watch Chapter 2 in the morning.
Then, ask for a monthly ticket again.
