The weather was excellent on the day when the Eastern Depot set off. Leng Qingtang rode his horse under the tower. The team of Imperial Guards and guards behind him was neat and impressive.
Emperor Jingxiao had wanted to hide in Elixir Chamber but was persuaded to go to the tower by Yu Xuanji. He saw off the guards of the Eastern Depot under the dazzling sunlight personally.
With flying flags, the beatings of gongs and drums, as well as wild lion dance, the armies shouted heroically. Their voice was sonorous and forceful, imbued with a spirit that could conquer mountains and rivers.
When the auspicious time arrived, ten thousand soldiers drank wine and smashed bowls together. Then the brigade went out of the Zhengyang Gate with great strength and vigor. Along the way, there were citizens who sent the army off.
Leng Qingtang, as the supervisor of the army, removed a python robe and jade belt. He was wearing bright gold armor
After putting on his ink-colored brocade robe and boots, Leng Qingtang opened the hatch, walking out onto the deck.On the midsummer night, the sea air was still cold and wet. The darkness around him extended everywhere.With hands tied on his back, Min Rui stood at the bow of the ship. Behind him was a mast, on the top of which the hanging cowhide lanterns fluttered in the wind, stirring up the light and shadow.Leng Qingtang clasped his fist and stepped forward, saying:"It's late now. Why haven’t you get rested, Your Highness?"Min Rui's eyes were calm but a faint silence showed up on his face. He replied:"Our navy can arrive in Qiongyang before sunrise, which is very beneficial to our army. I think we can directly go to war with An Guo Navy. What do you think, Master?"Leng Qingtang waived his hands and answered in a humble way:"Though I'm the supervisor of the army,
On June 20th, An Guo was finally overwhelmed by the navy of Dongqing, and once again was vanquished by Da Yi. Subsequently, the monarch withdrew the 50,000 soldiers stationed in Da Yi Guangxi.The Lang Army of Guangxi lost the support of An Guo. Except for the camp of Donglan, its military strength in Nadi, Guishun, Nandan, and Ensi had been brutally suppressed by the Southwest Army of Da Yi. Therefore, its force was greatly undermined.After several battles with the Lang Army of Donglan, seven troops of the Eastern Depot successfully blew up Lang Army’s arsenal.Min Rui carefully studied the topographic map of Donglan and asked the local people for inquiries. Finally, he adopted Leng Qingtang's suggestion and forced all the remaining 40,000 troops of Lang Army into the Tiandang Mountain in Donglan.Dongqing Fleet and the Imperial Guards of Leng Qingtang encamped at the foot of the mountain.The mountain was nam
Duke Min was shocked by the woman's words and abated his madness of anger.Seeing this, Lang Mucha took a step forward and looked respectful,"Your Highness, please allow me to untie you."While speaking, she walked behind the pillar and quickly untied the hemp rope on Min Rui's arms.Min Rui looked down and stopped speaking. He slowly twisted his two stiff arms and flushed.Ah, it was said that women's wit did not match their hair.The woman in front of him was only in her early thirties, but she was neither humble nor overbearing when leading the army. She was really admirable to have such courage.She showed respect, so he had to be judicious.Anyway, he was a man. If he still took off the gloves to a woman, wouldn't he be too stingy?In the eyes of others, he, as a Duke, would be really narrow-minded.Anyway, the imperial court wanted to recrui
Gu Yunxi closed her eyes tightly when the last layer of bandage was removed, and her heartbeat accelerated.However, she heard voices in surprise coming from her side, and then a soft hand dropped on her shoulder, shaking her body.Gu Yunyao's soft voice was slightly trembling and extremely excited."Yunxi, my dear sister, open your eyes and look at the bronze mirror!"Seeing the girl's timid expression, the medical sage shook his head with an unhappy face."Hey, it seems that you still can't believe me. That's fine. Don't come to me again when you are in trouble next time. Goodbye.""Hey, Master Tantai, please don't be angry!"This old man with a white beard and Jiang Huaian were really worthy of being the teacher and the apprentice. Both of them were talented and prideful, and the temperament of the teacher was a little bit weird.Gu Yunxi got up in a hurry, grabbed the o
Gu Yunxi opened her eyes faintly, hearing constant cries of horror."Sister, sister... Wake up please..."It was Prince Chen!Shocked, Gu Yunxi sat up.Lanxin was lying under the bed with a pale face. Blood had solidified at the corner of her mouth and her whole body was motionless and lifeless.Prince Chen sat aside, covering his face and crying so badly,"Lanxin!"Gu Yunxi was shocked. She jumped barefoot to the ground without embroidered shoes and went prone beside Lanxin."Lanxin, what happened to you? Lanxin!"What her fingers touched was a cold and slightly stiff body.With a "buzz" in her head, Gu Yunxi sat on the ground limply with her tears rolling down from her blank eyes.Lanxin died!Why?Before she lay down to sleep, Lanxin was still alive and kicking, following others to the front hall to have lu
When Leng Qingtang entered the main tent, Lang Mucha was talking to the soldiers in non-standard mandarin.Seeing the Master, the woman immediately knelt on one knee and greeted him with the noblest formality of Tujia.Leng Qingtang helped her stand up, smiling gently."Madam, stand up quickly. Lang Army had a hard journey to Yunnan. Just dispense with the etiquette in the military camp."People of Tujia were pure and simple. As long as someone treated them kindly, they would recognize him as a good person.Leng Qingtang’s respect for her touched the woman so much, her eyes shining brightly,"Master, please forgive me for being late. Before we set off, the marine fleet sent supplies to us and His Highness Min asked us to escort the supplies over when we arrived at Yunnan.""Unexpectedly, we encountered two groups of Bo Ku soldiers besieging us to intercept the supplies on the way, but i
There were no more than a hundred people in the trade caravan outside the camp. The mighty caravan headed west with a few wooden carts in the middle. From a long distance, the fishy smell of four-hoofed animals could still be smelled.The leader of the trade caravan was not tall with dark skin and ordinary facial features.The most distinctive feature was his right eye, which was tightly covered by a black sheepskin eye mask may be because of a permanent eye injury.He had a blue cloth wrapped around his head, and one side of it was inserted with a green feather. He wore a white short jacket with buttons down the front, straight-leg pants with dark fringe on them, and a silk gown with a large collar outside.The dark red belt around his waist was bulging. There should be a self-defense weapon in it.Seeing that the generals gathered around a handsome man coming from afar, the leader of the trade caravan raised h
In the western tribes of Udan."Mother, you are determined to go to Da Yi in person this time. Do you really no longer believe in your son?"In the Huzhu Hall, Lu Qiange knelt at the feet of Princess Anhe, the side imperial concubine of King Solo, holding his mother's knees. His look and tone were anxious.Smiling softly, Princess Anhe covered the back of her son's hand with her hand, and spoke lightly,"Your father finally agreed with me. He understands me better than you. If I don't go there this time, I'm afraid I will leave some regrets in my life.""Mother..."Lu Qiange frowned with anxiety,"Hua'er, you don't need to persuade me anymore. It's summer and the big day is around the corner. We must hurry up. This time, I, dressed in ordinary clothes, take a trip and feel at ease with your protection all the way, but..."The woman paused and looked away,"I ju
Terra Nova's ninth year of the Daedalic Years, early spring.Kamakawa Yusui is shocked and annoyed when he receives news of a coup at the Imperial Palace and the imminent ascension of Prince Fuchi Yasutaka to the throne as the next Emperor.Since the Kunhuang Island and Huananhe lost a battle, Kamachi sailors suffered a heavy blow, Kamakawa was forced to take the remaining troops retreated to the south of Kunhuang Island, Tsuneoshima stationed.Unexpectedly, just when he was trying to avoid the previous shame and had been intensifying the study of the new combat program, the country had a great turnaround.Can't think too much, Kamakawa by water immediately point all 10,000 Ying army, lead five Anzai ship and a number of ships, with enough artillery Furlong machine fire speed back to Ying, swore to fight with and Shigeru cuts a high and low winners and losers.One night, as Kamakawa's fleet secretly approached Mizumura Harbor in Kyoto, a thick fog sudde
In the banquet hall of the palace, the fire and candles were bright, four dancing girls lined up, green silk buns, colorful makeup, silk sleeves fluttering and swaying, dancing in a slow and rhythmic dance.Two or three male musicians are not far from them, playing strings, flute, drums, each person's face is calm and solemn, but in the eyes of God duh, seems to have the essence of the aura of a hidden flash.The dinner was organized to celebrate the fifteenth birthday of Emperor Fuchi Masaharu, but due to the defeat of the Terra Nova army in Weihai, many of the entertainments were temporarily canceled, and only the traditional Yehime songs and dances were retained.Profound Ya Qing was the main character of tonight's banquet, at this time he was wearing brand new scarlet damask silk clothes kneeling above the chief belonging to him, looking quiet and enjoying the songs and dances.On the seats to his left were the former Emperor's side consort, Daiji, with h
Terra Nova, Kyoto.As night falls, in a short house in the civilian area, the blind man is anxiously waiting for his mother-in-law to return home from work.She hadn't been back for a day and a night, and that definitely hadn't happened in the past.Could it be that the Ninth Princess has encountered something on her end?Rustling footsteps stopped unexpectedly at the door.The blind man's sense of hearing is much more sensitive than normal people, his eyebrows slightly gathered, and without moving, he got up and lightly rubbed his steps to the wooden cabinet, and touched a sharp dagger from the top of the cabinet and quietly hid it in the sleeve of his coat.The door of the room opened, and by the sound of the footsteps coming in there should be two of them."You're Suigo Show's man, aren't you?"The one who asked the question in Terra Nova was a young man.The blind man turned his head sideways, carefully recognizing the source
A cold wind cut through the long, narrow corridor, and the lights flickered dimly.The man's ragged gasps continued to spill out of the closed wooden lattice barricade door, accompanied by the occasional few hushed cries of pain from the woman."Haru, come on, I'll accompany you to your room."Looking at Yuan Ya Qing's stagnant and godless clear face, Yun Shi's heart seized more than just pain as she tugged on one of his arms.The commotion in the room was in no way suitable for a teenager to be listening in.The teenager's eyes were lax as he took two steps with her, speaking quietly in Chinese: ."...Master, you have to trust me as well...it wasn't Mother and I's idea to march into Da Yi."Yun Shi suddenly became miserable inside, opened and closed his nose and said."I believed you, never had a doubt, and it was for that reason that I traveled across the river and across the sea to meet you in person in Terra Nova."The two co
"Yue Xilou, you traitor shall not die!"Qi and blood surged, and a strong hatred that had never been felt before invaded Yun Shi's consciousness.She jumped up with her eyes heavy with red and lunged at her enemy with all her might, reaching for his neck.Yue Xilou laughed scornfully and kicked her backwards with a flying leg.Yun Shi fell out onto the hard floor a few feet away, choking on blood and letting out a pained _groan_.Wamochi stretched his neck to look at it, grinning imploringly.Tsukishiro looks at the samurai on either side :)"Don't just stand there, take her down and keep her under good guard, she'll be of great use in the future.""Slow down ......"Yun Shi forced to endure the pain of bones about to break trembling climbed up, far away from looking at the abyss Ya Qing, the expression of desolate:"Your Majesty, I have something to say to you, please send the counselor."Empress Yuanya immediately s
The fact that the mute applicant, Yun, who was originally scrubbed out of the test, has been recognized by the Emperor as the Imperial Chef, shocks the entire Grand Cookhouse early the next morning.The cooks and handymen who had looked down on her earlier were now gathered in front of the stove in the cooking room, watching intently as she operated it herself.Even in the past days always rigid board a big white face of apricot leaf female master, this time all people before and after chasing after Yun Shi everywhere running, flattery, mouth like a river, all do their best to please. At sunrise, Yunshi was wearing a green coat and pants, put on a large apron to the stove to do the work.With white flour rolled out and crabmeat and shrimp mince and red fish roe in the filling, the meat buns are pinched out with absolutely thirty-three folds.Chicken breast, corn and green beans are sauteed in oil, thickened with soy sauce and pan-fried wine, and wrapped in so
He is, after all, the Emperor!Following the direction of Master Apricot Leaf's kneeling, Yun Shi looked at the teenager, his eyes filled with astonishment.The standing tasseled crown and the yellow coat are indeed the symbols of the imperial nobility of Terra Nova.But, this young man, he is actually the Emperor."Mute, why don't you kneel down!"The apricot leaf matron raised her eyes to the unresponsive Gu Yunshi and chided."Eh, forget it, forget it ...... Master Chief, you get up too."Meeting Yun Shi's eyes, the teenager's face flushed red and blushed as he explained: ."Granny, I don't mean to deceive you ...... I, I didn't eat well in the evening meal, and I was really hungry just now."Yun Shi's complexion returned to normal, pursed her lips and waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind.Heh, how could she mind?She was begging for it!The hostess rises obsequiously and comes up to nod at the tee
The night fell slowly, blotting out the last rays of red light in the sky.The entire Western Garden was silent.Cloudseeker stood in the tiny compound under the endless sky, raising his head to look up at the dark inky colors of the night sky.In the field of vision, that heavy darkness seems to carry some kind of adsorption magic, only teaching people to look at a glance, want to look through.She failed the test to become a chef and lost her chance to enter the palace and meet the Emperor.Such a result directly disrupted all her latter plans.After losing her temper for a while, she thought of Hua Nanhe, who is still fighting in the battlefield, Yingyu, who is trapped in the palace of Dayi, and brother Mu Xiu, who is waiting for them to return home.Yun Shi's eyes burned as she quickly regained her fighting spirit.Now is not the time to be discouraged, since one way does not work, then find another way.The hour was already
Terra Nova, outside the Abyssinian Palace, West Court.The large cooking room was busy with players in white shirts and blue pants around wooden cases and stoves.In five days, Emperor Fuchiya's fifteenth birthday will be celebrated, and not only will there be a large-scale celebration dinner at the palace, but an all-day parade and festival will be organized throughout Kyoto."Faster, faster, the hour for the king to pass the meal is almost here, and later on your handmade delicacies will be the basis for whether or not you can stay as a loose cook."The woman in charge, Apricot Leaf, is in her thirties, with a purple shirt and pants, wandering around every corner of the cooking room with a stern look, urging the contestants with her mouth, and repeatedly scrutinizing their cooking techniques with her cold and warm gaze.The twenty casual chef applicants came from Terra Nova folk, both men and women, and most of their referrals were cooks and assistant
