The honor guard left the city and the flags were flying.
Even though he was as noble as a county prince, Li Qinzai rarely traveled with full ceremonial guard, almost never.
In ancient times, when a prince officially traveled to show off his title, the ceremony was too complicated, from the carriage he rode in to the number of people accompanying him, as well as the attendants on the left and right of the carriage, as well as the various ceremonial supplies held by the attendants, such as pumpkins, jingjie, jade, and gilt. Hammer and so on.
It looks mighty and domineering, but none of these gadgets are useful, they are all just for show.
When traveling, he would shout and crowd, attracting the attention of countless passers-by. Li Qinzai didn't know how the person involved was feeling. He only knew that if he acted like this, he would look like a monkey.
He actually didn't want to use all the guards of honor during this trip. Li Qinzai didn't like to show off at all, but Li Ji strictly demanded that the guards of honor must be used.
Li Ji had his own considerations. After all, Li Qinzai was about to go deep into the tiger's den. The ceremonial guards of the imperial court were put out, which was somewhat of a deterrent to the prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River. If people looked at this ceremonial guard before taking action, the timid ones might secretly murmur, Is this guy easy to mess with? Should I mess with him?
The guard of honor left Yanping Gate and stopped ten miles out of the city.
King Teng and Li Sujie had already been waiting on the roadside outside the city to welcome Li Qinzai. King Teng and Li Sujie immediately integrated their entourage and bodyguards, and the three teams merged into one.
After walking for twenty miles, the three of them saw flags blocking out the sun, dust filling the sky, and densely packed armored men sitting cross-legged on the plain in the distance.
The first member, a middle-aged tiger general, wore bright armor and a double-winged silver helmet, riding majestically on a horse. The guards beside him held up a flag with a huge "Xue" written on it.
Before they even got close, they felt a strong chilling air coming towards their faces. Li Qinzai and others were startled and hurriedly rode forward to meet him.
After approaching, Li Qinzai dismounted his horse and saluted: "Young man, I pay my respects to General Xue."
Xue Rengui also dismounted, held his arm with both hands, and smiled heartily: "Jingchu Mo Duoli, during this trip to Jiangnan, you will be the main one and I will be the assistant. Xue will listen to your orders at any time. It is up to you to kill people and set fires." It’s what you say.”
Li Qinzai dared not say: "How dare you order Uncle Xue to break this young man? I will discuss everything with you during this trip to the south of the Yangtze River. We uncles and nephews will work together to complete the errands assigned by the emperor."
Xue Rengui was very satisfied with Li Qinzai's attitude. Although Li Qinzai's status was actually the same as his, and they were both Dukes and Dukes, their seniority was different after all.
After all, this boy from the Li family was a father-in-law, and his upbringing was really good. He didn't show any airs in front of him, and still adhered to the courtesy of a junior. This made Xue Rengui feel happy physically and mentally, and earned enough face.
After the uncle and nephew chatted for a while, Li Qinzai looked at the 20,000 troops behind Xue Rengui. He saw that the soldiers were neatly dressed, powerful, and equipped with firearms. He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
This army of 20,000 people was selected from the twelve guards of Chang'an. Each guard selected thousands of people, all of whom were elite soldiers.
If you look carefully, you will see that there are more than a thousand cavalry at the front of the team. The armor is different from the others. The armor of this thousand-man cavalry team is black, and the thickness of the armor looks much thicker than others. The horses underneath are also tall and powerful, with muscles. Knot.
Moreover, all the officers and soldiers of this cavalry are covered with iron armor, so their true faces cannot be seen clearly. Everyone wears a ferocious iron mask on their face. They are all gloomy and murderous, which makes people unable to help themselves.
He was so frightened that he seemed unable to even muster the strength to resist in front of them.
This different cavalry immediately caught the attention of Li Qinzai. He was also a man who had led troops on the battlefield, and he could see their peculiarity at a glance.
Xue Rengui followed Li Qinzai's gaze and couldn't help but smile: "My dear nephew, do you know what the route of this cavalry team is?"
Li Qinzai blinked: "The boy is ignorant, so I asked Uncle Xue for advice."
Xue Rengui laughed and said: "This thousand-man cavalry team is the Xuanjia Army that was famous all over the world at that time. It is directly under the command of the late Emperor Taizong."
"When the late Emperor Taizong was conquering the world, this Xuanjia Army followed him to victory in every battle and never gave up. Now that the late emperor has passed away, there are only more than 3,000 Xuanjia Army left. My nephew has gone to the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor pays special attention to your safety.
, I specially allocate one thousand Xuanjia troops to use in front of the tent, and hope that my nephew will treat them well and put them to good use."
Li Qinzai was shocked. The "Xuanjia Army" was like thunder. He did not expect that one day he would be mobilized to command the Xuanjia Army.
This is the most famous heavy armored cavalry in the Tang Dynasty. It is indestructible according to the command flag. To put it bluntly, this is a heavy tank brigade. Any enemy will be ruthlessly crushed in front of them.
"The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation", which is still sung by his subjects, tells the story of Li Shimin leading a lone army to break the enemy's formation when he was young. Which lone army did Li Shimin lead back then?
That's right, it's the Xuanjia Army in front of you. They were Li Shimin's capital that conquered the world back then.
Prince Teng and Li Sujie on the side were also a little moved. Unexpectedly, for Li Qinzai, the emperor actually used the Xuanjia Army. The Dragon of the Holy Family was unprecedented and unprecedented.
Li Qinzai was stunned for a while, his eyes gradually became fanatical, and he looked at Xuan Jiajun like a star-chasing little fan.
Suddenly opening his arms, Li Qinzai flew towards the Xuanjia Army happily, shouting: "Brother Fierce General!"
I’m so excited that I have to be crazy about it. Men like violent people and things. This is the nature of animals and determined by genes. In the past life, I played with guns and knives. Who has played with the Xuanjia Army?
Today, there are only about 3,000 Xuanjia troops left in the Tang Dynasty, and one of them is missing.
His running steps suddenly stopped, and Li Qinzai discovered something that was not very harmonious.
A general who was standing at the front of the Xuanjia Army on horseback spurred his horse forward two steps for some unknown reason.
Li Qinzai discovered that the general's stature... was not short, but compared to the average height of 1.9 meters among the Xuanjia soldiers, the first general looked like a small bird, like an extra dog in the wolf's den.
Dude, no matter how you look at it, it's very inconsistent.
As he walked closer, the armor on the general's face was removed, revealing a familiar face.
"Hehe, brother Jingchu, are you surprised? Are you happy?"
Li Qinzai's eyes widened: "Xue Na? What the hell are you..."
There was a sudden pause mid-sentence, and Li Qinzai turned around to look at Xue Rengui with a guilty conscience.
It seems inappropriate to scold your mother when your biological father is in front of you...
Xue Ne is also wearing a set of black black armor. He looks the same as the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army, but both his figure and the horse he rides are one size smaller than those of the Xuanjia Army. The picture is particularly disharmonious.
Don't ask why there is disharmony. If there is an extra Beijing Mastiff in a group of Tibetan Mastiffs, will the picture look good?
"You, come down and take off your armor, stay away from the Xuanjia Army, don't insult others." Li Qinzai said immediately and bluntly.
