"It's the Crown Prince!"
"The Prince is here!"
"Great, the prince is here, everything will be fine!"
The deafening cheers were louder and louder, and the city gate was so busy that it seemed to be boiling hot water.
After trekking for several days, Xiao Yi finally arrived at Kailian City.
When they were more than ten feet away from the city gate, Xiao Yi, Fu Yunhe and the others who were riding on horseback did not realize that their horses had slowed down and looked at the scene in front of them in surprise.
Outside the north gate of Kailian City, one could see dense crowds of people. Countless people gathered at the city gate, all waving their arms to welcome Xiao Yi's arrival.
Standing in front of these people is Cheng Yu, the current garrison of Kailian City.
After not seeing each other for more than a year, Cheng Yu seems to have lost some of his wealth, but his whole person exudes a spirit of energy, confidence, calmness, and high energy, as if he is a wanderer who has been wandering for many years and has finally found his home.
Cheng Yu took a step forward and bowed respectfully to Xiao Yi: "I have met the prince."
At this time, the people around him all fell silent and followed Cheng Yu's lead in bowing. Although their postures were a bit unfamiliar and awkward, their expressions and eyes were so respectful and sincere.
Xiao Yi jumped off the horse neatly and gave Cheng Yu a hand: "No need to be polite." Then he loudly said to the people behind him, "No need to be polite!"
By supporting each other, Xiao Yi secretly raised his eyebrows at Cheng Yu, as if asking: What kind of scene is this?
Cheng Yu smiled helplessly. Originally, he planned to lead a few cronies from the garrison mansion to greet Xiao Yi at the city gate, but what he didn't expect was that the news leaked out somehow. ...When he calculated the time to come to the city gate to greet him, he found that the place was already crowded.
The people came to the city gate to welcome the prince with sincerity. As the guard of Kailian City, he couldn't pour a bucket of cold water on them and drive them back, right?
In fact, when seeing these people gathering here spontaneously, the happiest person was none other than Cheng Yu. This not only means that the prince is recognized by the people of Kailiancheng, but also means that his efforts over the past year have not been in vain. He guarded the two cities of Fuzhong and Kailian for the prince. Only those who have been following the prince know how difficult this step is!
At this time, a tall man from behind suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop and shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude. On behalf of all the people in Kailian City, I would like to express my condolences to Your Majesty." Please order me! Your Majesty, you cannot open Liancheng to the Nanbarbarians!" After saying that, the big man banged his head heavily on the ground covered with fine sand and gravel. He lay humbly on the ground and refused to get up.
His behavior was like a drop of water dropped into hot oil, crackling and exploding.
Following this, the people at the rear also knelt on the ground one by one, saying in a flurry of words:
"Yes, Your Majesty, Kailian City must not be opened to the public!"
"The Southern Barbarians killed my compatriots and destroyed our homeland. They are so ambitious that we must not trust them!"
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for us in Kai Liancheng!"
"..."
The people were getting more and more excited. It had been a year since the last Baiyue War, and the **** scars had finally begun to scar. However, they did not expect that King Zhennan would forcefully marry them again with an order. The scab tore open again, revealing a **** wound...
Looking back at the relatives, friends, and compatriots who died at the hands of Nanmanzi, these people seemed to have been stabbed again, which was heartbreaking.
It was the King of Zhennan who ordered the opening of Kailian and Fuzhong cities to trade with Baiyue, which led to the wolf entering the house. Now that Southern Xinjiang has suffered heavy losses, it is still recuperating, but the King of Zhennan wants to make it easier for Baiyue again. Door!
What if this time the Nanmanzi secretly sent troops to sneak into southern Xinjiang under the pretext of doing business, and then wielded the butcher's knife?
Thinking of the Baiyue envoys who were in the city now, the people became more and more frightened. They felt like thorns piercing their backs and fell to the ground one by one.
A young man shouted heartbreakingly: "Master, if you don't agree, we won't get up!"
Looking at these angry people, Fu Yunhe beside Xiao Yi couldn't help but be infected by this emotion, and his blood boiled. He really wanted to bring the King of Zhennan here to see and listen to the voices of these people. Hey, I wonder if the eldest brother’s father is out of his mind? He actually believed in Baiyue’s barbarians who had no integrity!
Xiao Yi and Cheng Yu looked at each other helplessly, and then Cheng Yu turned to face the people and said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me!"
The surrounding area gradually became quiet. The people lying on the ground raised their eyes slightly, revealing their bruised foreheads stained with dust.
After Cheng Yu cleared his throat, he continued: "Everyone, please rest assured! Now that the Crown Prince is back to take charge of the overall situation, our Kailian City will never open to the Southern Barbarians again, and we will never make the same mistake again!"
The people were refreshed and looked at Xiao Yi with bright eyes.
Xiao Yi looked at everyone with a smile, and that light but firm smile seemed to have a soothing power.
He slowly highlighted four words——
"I would rather fight than surrender!"
These four words hit the hearts of those people hard. They stared at Xiao Yi blankly, and then bright smiles bloomed on their faces. I don’t know who was the first. The exit shouted: "I would rather fight than surrender."
"I would rather fight than surrender!"
Everyone shouted this slogan in unison, and the shouts were loud enough. Later, even Fu Yunhe waved his fists and shouted with them.
Xiao Yi said loudly again: "Everyone, please get up."
The people stood up from the ground one after another, still whispering excitedly:
"Great, as long as the prince is here, we can definitely drive the Nanman out."
"I have to go home quickly and tell my mother-in-law!"
"Yes, yes! I was originally thinking about whether I should move to Luoyue City to be safer."
"Fortunately, Kailiancheng is now under the control of the Crown Prince, so we can all rest assured!"
"The prince really has the style of an old prince..."
"..."
For thousands of years, the common people have had a hero worship complex, worshiping Nuwa for creating the world, worshiping Shennong for tasting herbs, worshiping Dayu for controlling floods... worshiping those heroes who rose up to protect them in wars.
In southern Xinjiang, their hero more than ten years ago was the old King Zhennan, but now, he has become Xiao Yi, the eldest son of King Zhennan.
Xiao Yi led the southern Xinjiang army to repel the southern barbarian army, recaptured the fallen cities in southern Xinjiang, saved the people of southern Xinjiang from danger, and promoted the power of the wealthy country to the barbarians from all directions!
People throughout Dayu and other places may have heard about Prince Zhennan’s numerous achievements in repelling Baiyue, and may praise him a few times, but they are unlikely to have as deep an understanding as the people in southern Xinjiang. In the eyes of these people, the emperor who is far away in the world is not as reliable as the prince who is close by!
As long as the prince is here, they can have a peaceful sleep!
The relieved people are all radiant, with respect, worship, trust and admiration in their eyes...
Looking at the trusting eyes of these people, Fu Yunhe also felt proud. He straightened his chest and raised his chin with a bright face. He only felt that following his elder brother was the most sensible thing for him! Hehehe, when he returns to Luoyue City, he will quickly write a letter to Abai, Tian Lianhe and the others to show off...
Thinking about it, their expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred seemed to appear in his mind, and he felt more and more satisfied.
As the people lined the streets to greet them, Xiao Yi and his party finally entered Kailian City. Some of the people dispersed, but some still followed Xiao Yi and Cheng Yu until they were sent to the garrison. Then he left reluctantly...
After entering the garrison mansion, Xiao Yi told Fu Yunhe and the others to settle down first, while he and Cheng Yu went to the study to have a secret conversation, leaving only Zhu Zi in the study to guard.
After Cheng Yugong asked Xiao Yi to sit down on the main seat, he also sat down across the desk.
Following that, Cheng Yu talked about the current situation of Kailian City. Two months ago, Baiyue asked the King of Zhennan to open Kailian City. The King of Zhennan agreed, but Cheng Yu did not obey the order and kept the city gate closed. not open. Although King Zhennan was displeased, there was nothing he could do about Cheng Yu for a while. Until half a month ago, Nuhar, the new king of Baiyue, sent envoys to Kailian City...
Xiao Yi tapped his index finger on the desk a few times and asked leisurely: "How many envoys did Baiyue send over? Where are they now?"
"Your Majesty, Baiyue only sent an envoy named Zhu Dan this time, accompanied by twelve guards. Now Zhu Dan is temporarily living in the guest room of the garrison mansion. He is at peace, and he is here. Even after staying in the city, I didn't dare to go out." Cheng Yu replied, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
If this Baiyue man dares to walk around Kailian City blatantly, it is no exaggeration to say that he must be a street rat, and everyone will shout and beat him!
Xiao Yi also raised his lips, "Cheng Yu, let's go meet the envoy."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
With Cheng Yu leading the way, the two of them headed all the way to the east chamber. Cheng Yu specially chose a remote and quiet small courtyard in the east chamber to house the Baiyue envoys.
As soon as Xiao Yi entered the garrison mansion, the envoy named Zhu Dan learned the news from his servants, and he had been eagerly waiting and prepared. Therefore, as soon as Xiao Yi came over, he saw a fair-faced and beardless envoy personally greeting him at the gate of the courtyard.
"I met Prince Xiao."
Zhu Dan bowed to Xiao Yi respectfully.
"The envoy is exempt from courtesy." Xiao Yi said lightly, and the three of them entered the courtyard.
What they were going to talk about next was of great importance and must not be leaked at all, so Cheng Yu immediately ordered a few close followers to guard the entrance of the courtyard.
As soon as the door of the main room was closed, Zhu Dan's face became a little more flattering. He politely asked Xiao Yi to sit down, and then flattered him in fluent Dayu: "This time I came to Dayu, my king specially asked me to sit down. Order me to say hello to the Crown Prince! After the Crown Prince left Ruijiang City, my king was very concerned about him. Now it seems that the Crown Prince’s demeanor is still the same, no, he is even better than before."
The envoy who will be sent to Dayu by Nuhar is naturally his close confidant. From his words, it is obvious that he knows a lot about the master-slave relationship between Xiao Yi and Nuhar !
Xiao Yi looked at Zhu Dan with a half-smile but not a smile. As the old saying goes, people from far away are guests, but to him and the entire southern Xinjiang, Nanmanzi could not be called a "guest", so he did not invite him hypocritically. The other party sat down and said directly: "Zhu Dan, this prince wants you to say a word about Nuhar." He called him by his first name unceremoniously.
Zhu Dan could only apologize, nodded and bowed: "Your Majesty, please give me whatever you want. My king has said that if your Majesty has any instructions, even if you ask me to go up the sword mountain and down the frying pan, I can't refuse..."
Xiao Yi waved his hand impatiently, not wanting to hear these beautiful empty words, and said casually: "I want Nuhar to do something..."
Zhu Dan did not dare to speak out, but bowed his head and listened respectfully.
An hour later, the news that a group of Baiyue envoys left Kailian City in despair spread throughout Kailian City as if they had grown wings.
On the streets at dusk, in restaurants, houses, tea sheds...every corner of Kailian City was discussing this matter enthusiastically.
"The reputation of the Crown Prince is indeed frightening to the people of Baiyue!" A big man patted the table and stood up.
"That's right, Nanmanzi really has rat-like ears!" A scholar wearing a scarf shook his folding fan and said, "As soon as the prince arrived, the envoys were so frightened that they fled!"
"This is so satisfying!" Another young man in civilian clothes also echoed loudly, "The prince is really wise and powerful, and he will do what he says."
"That's right." A middle-aged woman found an opportunity to interject, "I heard that hundreds of people asked for the prince's life at the South City Gate this morning! The prince made a promise on the spot..." She deliberately After a pause, he said word by word, "Ning, fight, no, surrender!"
"I would rather fight than surrender!"
Others also murmured, and the scholar showed reverence, looked in the direction of the garrison, and said again: "I would rather fight than surrender!"
"Southern Xinjiang is really lucky to have such a noble son!"
I don’t know who sighed and said it, this sentence seemed to express everyone’s feelings...
The sun gradually sets in the west, sets and the moon rises. The night passes in the blink of an eye. When the first morning star rises, most of the people are still sleeping, but the military camp has already woken up.
Thousands of soldiers wearing black armor were already standing neatly on the training ground. The dawn sun shone softly on them, giving them a golden halo.
The soldiers were all in high spirits and stood motionless, even if they did not receive any instructions, even if they were the only ones here and there was no general at all...
I don’t know how long it took, but several tall figures dressed as generals strode towards this side. The most eye-catching among them was a handsome young man wearing silver-white armor. He had black hair and a small silver pattern. The crown is tied high, and the black hair is in sharp contrast with the silver-white armor. His appearance is so handsome that even women would be ashamed, but he does not reveal a trace of femininity. His steps are windy, and his whole body exudes a fierceness. The aura is like a sword. Although it has not been unsheathed, it has already revealed its edge, making people dare not underestimate it.
Thousands of eyes were all focused on this young man in an instant, with surprise that could not be concealed in his expression.
Your Majesty!
Unexpectedly, it was the Crown Prince himself who came to watch their military training!
In an instant, an incredible force seemed to surge into the hearts of all the soldiers, and they became more energetic in an instant.
When Xiao Yi stood still on the high platform in front of them, almost at the same moment, thousands of Xuanjia soldiers knelt down on one knee, clasped their fists in salute, and shouted like a thunderous voice: "I have seen the prince!"
Thousands of people knelt down at the same time, the scene was extremely spectacular, and the shouts were so uniform that they seemed to come from the same person, hammering hard into everyone's heart.
Yao Lianghang, who was following Xiao Yi, looked at the high-spirited expressions of the soldiers and couldn't help but be affected, and his heart was agitated.
This past year seems so short, gone in an instant, but also seems so long, so much has happened...
Finally, the prince can finally return to southern Xinjiang in good faith!
Yao Lianghang let out a long breath. It was only at this moment that he felt a real feeling. His heart was full of joy and he looked at Xiao Yi with burning eyes.
The Crown Prince is back, and the day when their Xuanjia Army will come to the fore is just around the corner!
Xiao Yi looked around at the Xuanjia troops, raised his hands with a smile, and said loudly: "Everyone, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Thousands of people's voices echoed again, and then they stood up again.
Following that, Yao Lianghang, holding the command flag, stepped forward and raised his voice: "Soldiers!"
"Yes!" the soldiers responded with clasped fists.
"Today the Crown Prince is here to inspect our Xuanjia Army. Shouldn't everyone let the Crown Prince take a good look at our efforts this year? Look at the blood and sweat we have put in this year?"
"Yes!" the soldiers roared one by one, as if they wanted to convey their thoughts through the shouts.
The next moment, as Yao Lianghang waved his command flag, the soldiers shouted in unison:
Pump your fist, the wind is roaring!
Kick your legs and become powerful!
Draw your sword with murderous intent!
The sound was mighty and powerful, and the shouts resounded through the sky, as continuous as thunder in the sky.
Yao Lianghang's blood was boiling, and his movements of waving the flag were more neat and swaggering. Every time he waved it, it made a whirring sound, and it seemed that even the air was vibrating...
Everyone present, from the soldiers to the generals to the prince Xiao Yi, felt a surge of excitement and ripples in their hearts.
The first sun rises slowly amidst those shouts, so bright, so dazzling, so soul-stirring, as if it indicates that southern Xinjiang is full of new hope like the rising sun...
