back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 37 Assassination
Di Qing looked it over carefully and said, "Your Majesty, the methods mentioned in this infantry drill code have never been heard by the veteran. However, the veteran deeply agrees with the army beliefs, military honors, and emphasis on discipline mentioned in it. It's just that the training methods are the same. I have not practiced it before, so I dare not jump to conclusions. Your Majesty, please give the old minister some more time, and the old minister will think carefully before deciding whether to practice according to this drill."

Lu Chengqi smiled and said: "Di Qing is indeed cautious, I am very pleased. This infantry drill was originally a whim of mine, and it may have been divorced from reality. A great man said it well, practice brings true knowledge, and a theory that has not been tested in practice will always be true. It's just a theory. Di Qing can be so cautious in training troops, so I can rest assured. The Royal Military Academy will be carried forward if it is entrusted to you!"

Di Qing said with a smile: "Your Majesty's reputation is too high, the old minister just did his duty."

At this time, a passionate and majestic song sounded in the barracks of the military academy. Lu Chengqi pricked up his ears and listened carefully. It was the "Chinese Army Soul" that he taught the officers: "If the motherland is violated, the bloody man Be self-reliant. Drink up this bowl of home wine, and the strong man will never return. The rolling Yellow River and the surging Yangtze River give me life and strength. Let the blood be stained red, and the most beautiful flowers sprinkle on my chest! The dragon flag flutters Gone with the wind, the drums are sounding, the sword is out of its sheath, thunder is flashing. It is always the brave who meets on a narrow road. Go forward, go forward, go forward, the soul of the Chinese army!..."

It turned out that a few people started to sing, and gradually, the entire military camp was filled with loud and clear military songs.Di Qing said with emotion: "Your Majesty is indeed a great talent, and he can also write music scores and songs. This military song, even at the age of a veteran, can make your blood boil with enthusiasm. You can't wait to pick up the Zhangba spear and ride your horse on the battlefield!"

Lu Chengqi said in his heart: "This Chinese military soul is originally extremely passionate. Although a few words have been changed, the meaning is more appropriate. I watched "Bright Sword" before, and whenever this song sounded, I had to sing along to it. At that time , the image of Li Yunlong, I am afraid that I am consciously imitating it, and I almost became a soldier later. If I hadn't been admitted to university, I am afraid that I have already gone to the military camp, and I would not come to this time and space..."

Lu Chengqi fell into the memory, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and said: "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. If our army does not have this kind of courage, it will not be able to defeat those barbarians. Our war horses are scarce, and we can only rely on iron discipline." Only by uniting together and resisting the barbarian cavalry attack can we fight back."

Di Qing nodded and said: "The barbarian army, only the horses attack sharply. Our army is often defeated when it comes into contact. The old minister has no good strategy, so what can we do? Listening to your Majesty's words today, it really hits the point, and the old minister Pan Ran wakes up. When two armies fight, the brave one wins. No matter how sharp the sword is or how swift the horse is, it is still the soldiers who resolve the battle. Only iron discipline can form an iron military spirit."

Lu Chengqi said: "That's right, my initial transfer to Ma Zheng has not yet achieved results. However, I am confident that within ten years, I will wipe out the barbarians."

Di Qing was taken aback, and said: "Your Majesty, the land of the Liao Kingdom does not belong to us, and if we attack rashly, it may backfire!"

Lu Chengqi smiled and said: "I know that Di Qing's concern is nothing more than field battles. It is true that my army in the field is not as good as the Liao Kingdom, but as long as there is one artifact, the Liao Kingdom's iron cavalry is no more than the ears of chickens and dogs."

Di Qing didn't believe it, and Lu Chengqi made a bet with him. Lu Chengqi joked: "Di Qing has to take care of himself, otherwise I'm worried, even if I win, you will lie in the coffin and refuse to admit it. Who can I ask for reasoning?" ?”

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other and laughed, not fearing life and death, and talked loudly.The two chatted very happily, and it wasn't until nightfall that Lu Chengqi was still unsatisfied. Under Wang Yanchen's urging, he left the Royal Military Academy.

When rushing to Chang'an City, Lu Chengqi carefully observed the night life of the people, and saw that almost every house in the suburbs kept their doors behind closed doors, while Chang'an City was brightly lit.

Lu Chengqi knew that this was the city effect.The Dashun Dynasty originally had an extremely rich nightlife, if there was no curfew, it would be even more so all night long, with endless hawkers.

When Kankan approached the gate of the city, there was a soft shout: "Mr. Hun, die!"

In the dark night, I saw a long sword like a clear spring stabbing out from the darkness quickly. Although Lu Chengqi was not disturbed, he didn't care about the emperor's majesty, so he just rolled on the spot, barely avoiding the attack that sword.

The moment Lu Chengqi avoided the danger, Wang Yanchen's nerves, which had been tempered by life and death on the battlefield, finally reacted, drew out his waist knife, blocked the petite assassin, and shouted: "There are assassins, escort!".

Although Lu Chengqi knew that being an emperor was the most dangerous profession in the world, but under the admiration of everyone these past few days, he was a little smug and even forgot about the danger.Fortunately, he had practiced on weekdays to avoid the sharp sword of the assassin.

Lu Chengqi brought out not many guards, only eight.The three of them drew out their waist knives and fought with the assassin.The remaining five surrounded Lu Chengqi and slowly protected him to retreat into the city.One of the guards took out a bamboo whistle and breathed so much that Lu Chengqi's eardrums were almost pierced.This is the whistle of the imperial guards asking for help, and the troops nearby who heard the whistle must gather to rescue.

Not long after, a bang sounded from the gate of the city two miles away, and Lu Chengqi knew that it was the sound of the gathering of the guards.And that assassin seemed to know it too. He glanced at the direction Lu Chengqi was going away with hatred, and forced Wang Yanchen and the others back with a few tricks of exquisite swordsmanship. without a trace.

Seeing that the assassin had retreated, Wang Yanchen heaved a sigh of relief, almost lost his strength and fell to the ground, and said, "Mother, this little girl is too skinny, I would rather beat ten Liao dogs than face one of her! "

Lu Chengqi could also tell that the assassin was a woman.But I didn't expect that woman to be so powerful, and Wang Yanchen could be regarded as a person with high martial arts skills. I didn't expect to gather three guards to besiege one, but they couldn't keep her. Instead, everyone suffered a lot of injuries.

Especially the woman's last look, which seemed to want to kill Lu Chengqi, made Lu Chengqi tremble with fear.In a daze, I felt that I had seen that look somewhere, but I couldn't remember it.

After hearing the news, the city guards who rushed over were also in a cold sweat.Fortunately, Lu Chengqi was fine, otherwise they would all lose their heads.The city guard wanted to put a curfew on it, but it was Lu Chengqi's decree that no rumors were allowed, so it was not implemented.

Lu Chengqi didn't dare to stay any longer, fearing that the assassin would not go far, he hurried into Chang'an City and returned to the palace.Ask the imperial doctor to help the wounded bodyguard wrap up the wound, and give some gold and silver property.When Wang Yanchen was bandaging the wound on his arm, he was startled and said: "Your Majesty, that little girl is really too fierce. In my opinion, even Brother Xu may not be able to beat her. As the saying goes, a clear gun is easy to beat." Hide, it's hard to guard against a stab in the back, Your Majesty, you'd better not go out, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you, and I'll be a sinner forever!"

Lu Chengqi pondered for a while, then said strangely: "I can't remember when I had any grudges with others?"

At this moment, a young eunuch's voice came: "The queen is here..."

Before the words finished, a delicate body with a strong fragrance threw itself into Lu Chengqi's arms, and said with concern: "Your Majesty, I heard that you were assassinated, are you not hurt?"
