Episode 10 Chapter 627
Chapter 627
After listening to Tang Yin's words, the big tent became silent. Everyone was excited and couldn't recover for a long time. After a while, Qiu Zhen was the first to stand up, walked around the table, stood in front of Tang Yin, and then flirted. He lifted up his clothes, knelt down respectfully and saluted, and at the same time said loudly: "I am willing to lead a horse and hold a stirrup for the king, and my body will be broken into pieces, no matter what!"
Qiu Zhen's words made everyone wake up. People looked at each other and stood up in unison. They all knelt down and said: "I will follow the king to the death and create great achievements together!"
"Okay! With these words from brothers, I feel relieved!" Tang Yin's eyes sparkled, he looked at everyone with high spirits, then he picked up the wine glass and said: "Do it!"
"Dry!"
Everyone raised their wine glasses, toasted to Tang Yin, and then drank all the wine.
At this time, although Tang Yin was talking big, in fact he did not have that big ambition, but destroying Ning was what he thought from the bottom of his heart. However, he could also see that the generals did not have enough confidence in destroying Ning. What he said was motivating the generals. He even had the confidence to fight for the world, let alone the mere Ning Kingdom?
Yuan Fang, who was at the end of the tent, looked at the excited Tang Yin and then at the enthusiastic generals. He sighed secretly in his heart. With Tang Yin, a war madman, the Feng Kingdom would not only be the enemy of the Ning Kingdom, but one day, it would be the enemy of the Ning Kingdom. They will also become enemies of other princes and kings.
The next day, Tang Yin left the Fengjun camp and went to Qingyuan. There were not many people traveling with him, only Qiu Zhen, Letian, Cheng Jin, Wuying and others. Most of the Fengjun generals stayed in the camp to preside over military affairs. The current Qingyuan City is lively and prosperous, and can even be described as overcrowded.
The Holy Sacrifice Ceremony of the Feng Kingdom will be held in Qingyuan. Not only the people from the Hedong area gathered in the county, but also attracted many people from the Feng Kingdom. Now it is difficult to find a free inn in Qingyuan. In this huge city, the streets are bustling with traffic and people, bustling and extremely lively.
Since he had been notified in advance that there were many people in Qingyuan City, in order to avoid causing a disturbance, Tang Yin did not ride a horse, but followed Qiu Zhen into the carriage. There were more than a thousand guards around, and there were also 10,000 direct troops led by Wuying.
After entering Qingyuan City, the group went directly to the county capital. Now the county capital has almost become Tang Yin's palace. Whenever he comes to Qingyuan, he will definitely stay here. As for the county capital Wang Kai, he still lives in his city lord's palace until now.
On the way to the county capital, Tang Yin in the carriage slightly raised a corner of the curtain and looked out. Just as the newspaper said, there was really a huge crowd in Qingyuan City. Looking at it, there were so many people on both sides of the street that it was hard to tell how many of them they were.
Qiu Zhen, who was sitting opposite him, smiled and said: "The king has just regained Hedong, and the county and city are so lively. It is such a peaceful and prosperous era. It is really gratifying!"
Tang Yin lowered the curtains, shrugged and said: "Shengshi saw it, but Taiping didn't. Among the people outside, I don't know how many people are waiting for me to die suddenly, and I don't know how many people are secretly colluding to kill me. He's dying!"
What he said was hard to hear, but Qiu Zhen couldn't refute it because it was indeed the truth. Qiu Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "A great business is often misunderstood by most people. To achieve a great business, one or more generations of people need to make sacrifices. Your Majesty, you must not be discouraged!"
"Haha!" Tang Yin looked up and chuckled, and said: "Qiu Zhen, although I don't like to be in trouble, I am not afraid of trouble. From the day you and I went to Pingyuan County, there has never been anyone who wants to kill me. Damn it, have you ever seen me scared?"
Qiu was really happy. He liked Tang Yin's character who was not afraid of heaven or earth. After a pause, he changed the topic and asked: "Tomorrow is the Holy Sacrifice Ceremony, how will the king prepare to deal with it?"
Tang Yin leaned back and said with a relaxed expression, "Just do whatever you have to do!"
Qiu Zhen still wanted to speak, but swallowed his words back, but there was a bit of worry in his eyes.
The next day, the Holy Sacrifice Ceremony.
The Holy Sacrifice Ceremony is a major festival second only to the New Year's Day in the Haotian Empire. Every household displays lanterns and slaughters pigs and sheep for worship. The worship services held by the imperial court are naturally much more grand than those held by ordinary people. The Feng Kingdom's imperial court chose to worship outside the North City. The altar had already been set up. The lower level was a mound of earth and the upper level was a wooden frame. It was more than ten meters high. A long red carpet was spread from top to bottom. It looked a bit crude. But after all, the construction time was short. It was very rare to build such a magnificent altar in just over ten days.
At this time, the surroundings of the altar have been blocked by a forest of wind soldiers and wind generals. Looking up, there are three layers of black wind soldiers on the inside and three layers on the outside, protecting the altar tightly and making it impenetrable.
When Tang Yin left the city from the county capital, he did not take a carriage, but chose to travel on horseback to be close to the people. He was wearing a jade crown and a red robe, and he was riding a shadowy horse underneath. Maybe it was because the red robe was made at short notice, but Tang Yin didn't fit well when he wore it. It was fat and big, and it wrapped him tightly.
Since Tang Yin was not riding in the carriage, he was directly exposed to the public. The Fengjun guards protected him extremely tightly. There were four rows of guards on both sides. There were Shangguan brothers and secret arrow personnel nearby to protect him, and the Fengjun in front and behind were even more protective. There were more, in front were the halberdiers clearing the way, followed by the spearmen, and behind them were the Pu Daomen holding a sword and a shield, who were pressing closely together with a crossbow on their waist.
Under such strict protection, people on both sides of the street could see Tang Yin, but it was basically impossible to get close to him.
Hedong had just been recovered, and the situation was complicated. No one could tell how many assassins were mixed in among the people who wanted to harm Tang Yin. All along the way, the soldiers of the Feng Army were also nervous, fearing that something unexpected would happen. After passing the center of the city where the terrain was the most complicated and the crowds were the most dense, no accidents happened, and people's hearts finally settled down a little.
Next was a long straight road that led directly out of the city. There were fewer people on both sides of the street. It was relatively safe to walk here.
However, the place that the Feng Army thought was safe was also the time when they were most relaxed, and this was exactly what the assassins wanted.
Just beside the main road near the north gate, there was a small tavern. At this time, the tavern was full of people, laughing and noisy. Just as the drinkers were waiting for Tang Yin's team to pass by here to see the excitement, a team of Feng Army walked in from outside.
The leader of the Feng Army was wearing a general's armor, with his arm slightly raised, tightly holding the sword at his waist. After entering the tavern, his face was full of coldness, his eyes were like lightning, and he looked around at every drinker present. People were frightened by the sudden approach of the Feng Army, and the noise immediately disappeared. The timid people had quickly drunk the wine in their cups, reached into their arms, took out the copper coins, and prepared to pay the bill and leave.
At this time, the shopkeeper of the tavern hurried out, bowed and smiled at the Feng Army general, and said: "General, this... is another inspection? We have already inspected it just now!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" The general pushed the shopkeeper angrily and pushed him far away, then waved his arm and said: "Search for me! Anyone with a weapon will be arrested!"
"Yes! General!" The Feng Army behind agreed one after another, like bandits entering the city, rushing into the drinkers, regardless of whether they were men or women, old or young, and searching them one by one.
While the soldiers were searching him, the general closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were already emitting strange brilliance. Anyone who has practiced spiritual martial arts knows that it is the art of insight.
Feng Jiang used his insight to check everyone in the tavern, and confirmed that there were no spiritual practitioners. Then he withdrew his insight and waited for the results of the search by the soldiers below. The tavern had two floors, and there were many drinkers, so it was difficult to search. Just as Feng Jiang was getting impatient, he suddenly heard a commotion on the second floor.
Feng Jiang frowned, strode forward, and went straight to the second floor. Going up to the second floor, he looked carefully and saw that several of his soldiers were arguing with two old men in their 50s. He strode forward and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
"Report to the general!" A red-faced soldier turned and bowed to Feng Jiang and said: "We want to search this woman, but these two old guys won't let us search!" As he spoke, the Feng soldier pointed to a woman in white sitting by the window.
Feng Jiang looked up and was stunned for a moment. This woman looked only in her early twenties, with delicate features, beautiful looks, snow-white skin, and beautiful hair like satin. With a white dress, she looked like a fairy descending from the earth, so beautiful that it was beyond description.
Before he could come to his senses, two old men also came forward and said in a hurry: "My young lady comes from a famous family. How can she allow a group of men to search her body and touch her? This is outrageous. I hope the general will be more tolerant!"
Feng Jiang finally reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the woman in white. He looked at the two old men and sneered, saying: "Searching for criminals and ensuring the safety of the king, this is the military order issued by the county lieutenant himself, you all get out of the way!" As he spoke, he waved his arm and directly pushed the two old men away.
The two old men were old, how could they withstand his push? They staggered and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time. Feng Jiang didn't even look at them, and walked directly to the woman in white, saying with a fake smile: "Miss, please get up!"
Seeing this, the faces of the drinkers around them changed at the same time, and at the same time, people's eyes shot out a gleam of light.
The woman in white was originally looking out the window. When she heard Feng Jiang's words, she turned her gaze back and looked at Feng Jiang.
Feng Jiang's body shook and shivered at the same time. The woman in white had beautiful eyes, big and bright, clear and transparent, as if two stars were embedded in a jade face. Gulu! When he met the woman in white's eyes, even Feng Jiang couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly, and exclaimed in his heart that it was so beautiful.
At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up beside Feng Jiang: "General, I am a woman after all. How can I face people in the future after being searched by you in broad daylight?"
