Normal order was maintained in the palace. People thought that the king was recuperating and the princess was by his side. Only Liu Zhong, Liu Cheng and a few others knew the truth.
After experiencing a life and death separation, Zhang Yi and Xiao Liu cherished the time together even more.
The two were too excited to sleep, cuddling together and looking up at the bright moon outside the window.
There are endless things to say.
It was almost dawn before the two of them went to sleep.
…
"Brother, have you slept well? Get up and eat quickly!" Niu Ben shouted.
In a daze, Zhang Yi felt that he had returned to his days in Mopan City. At that time, Niu Ben came to wake him up almost every day, and then his brothers would rush into the house.
He looked down and saw Xiao Liu lying in his arms, looking at him with a smile, so beautiful that words cannot describe it.
If it's broken, don't let the reckless bull rush in.
"Don't shout, Daniel, wait outside, your sister-in-law hasn't gotten up yet!" Zhang Yi shouted hurriedly.
There was a burst of laughter outside the door, from Zhang Yi's brother and Xiao Liu's sister.
"Brother Yi, you have to adapt. From now on, everyone will surround you, and you will be like the sun in the sky." Xiao Liu put her arms around his neck and said sweetly.
Zhang Yi was almost drunk, but he knew that now he was the de facto monarch of the kingdom, many people were waiting for him to make a decision, and many people wanted to kill him.
For example, Tsar Andrei.
He woke up from a dream. Last night he was like sleepwalking. He only saw Xiaoliu and forgot everything.
Now he has to face harsh reality.
Protect Chang'an, protect Xiaoliu, and protect everyone in the kingdom.
Zhang Yi quickly got dressed, and so did Xiao Liu.
…
Zhang Yi invited the brothers to have breakfast together, and all the Six Tigers of China arrived.
"Brother Yi, the Tsar's army is still stationed in Sanyuan. They sent a reconnaissance force of several hundred people, but we annihilated it." Xiao Hanhui reported.
"I think they will arrive at Chang'an City in the afternoon." Xiaolong judged. As he spoke, he took out the letters to Greater China and Little China and asked Zhang Yi to read them.
Zhang Yi read it over and was very satisfied, so he asked Kuai Ma to send it to the two countries quickly. In case of emergency, Kuai Ma can travel 800 miles a day and can deliver it in two days.
"Brother Yi, troops and horses from all over the kingdom are marching to Tongguan and Qishan. It is expected that they will be assembled in three to five days, and they will be able to attack the enemy from both sides." Wang Zhenghui reported.
"Okay, these are two strange troops. Let the soldiers wait for orders." Zhang Yi nodded.
There are not many garrison troops in various cities in the kingdom, but hundreds and thousands of troops can be gathered together to form an army of tens of thousands to besiege the enemy at critical moments.
"Yi Ge, should we go out of the city to fight again?" Shi Gandang asked.
"Now we have to wait for work and protect Chang'an," Zhang Yi said, "but, Xiaoshi, you have to make sure that the road to the south gate is clear and that it echoes the Guanyin Tower. In this area, you can take the initiative."
"Follow your orders, sworn brother." Shi Gandang accepted the order.
Shi Gandang guards the south gate, Niu Ben guards the east gate, Wang Zheng guards the west gate, and Zhang Yi, Xiaolong and Xiao Han guard the north gate.
Zhang Yi predicted that the North Gate would be the enemy's main attack direction. According to the development of the war, Shi Gandang, Niu Ben and Wang Zheng would be at their disposal at any time.
In just one breakfast, Zhang Yi completed the deployment of city defense.
"Then, I will participate in the defense of the North Gate." Xiaoliu said proactively, with a tone that left no doubt that she would go regardless of whether her brother-in-law agreed.
Everyone agreed that the appearance of Zhang Yi and Xiao Liu as husband and wife would definitely greatly stimulate the fighting spirit of the military and civilians.
"Of course, this requires the approval of the Chief Assistant." Xiao Liu added with a smile.
Zhang Yi laughed and nodded, and everyone was happy too.
…
There was originally a panic in Chang'an City. Hundreds of thousands of troops from the terrible Tsarist Empire came to attack. Zhang Yi's victory in the war outside was unknown. The king did not show up and his life and death were not known. Even Princess Xiaoliu seemed to have disappeared. People fell into a pessimistic and despairing mood.
among.
Everyone was uneasy and rumors were flying privately.
Until the news of victory came one after another, nearly 20,000 enemies were killed in Zhenbeitai, 50,000 enemies were killed in Ziwuling, and 30,000 enemies were killed in Sanyuan. In just one week, more than 100,000 enemies were wiped out, and the traitor Wu Rui was killed, which shocked people's hearts.
, the whole city carnival.
Today, at noon on July 19, 2103, Zhang Yi rode Jueying and Xiaoliu rode Feihuang. Two BMWs were galloping in Chang'an City. Both of them were dressed in armor and looked heroic. The imperial guards following behind were holding the sun and moon.
The star flag and the dragon flag are in high spirits.
Chang'an City suddenly turned into a sea of joy.
People ran into the streets and cheered heartily.
"Long live my sworn brother, charge with blood!"
As the soldiers spread this slogan, it penetrated into everyone's heart. The legendary battles and wonderful battle scenes are now known to every household. Yi Ge has created unprecedented miracles. He is the successor of King Liu Kai. This is
Undoubtedly.
People already know that the king delivered the imperial seal to his sworn brother, who was ordered to take on the important task of protecting the family and the country. Zhang Yi is the new generation of king, and Princess Xiaoliu is the queen. This is a perfect couple.
When the people saw the couple approaching on horseback, they knelt on both sides of the road and gave out thunderous cheers.
Zhang Yi felt that his life had reached a peak. Despite the joy, he still remained awake. There were higher mountains waiting for him to climb, one higher than the other, until he finally reached the highest peak in the world.
He wants people's support, trust and support, but he doesn't want people to kneel down and worship him, but he can't stop people from doing so.
Especially at this moment, people's hearts need to be united. They are looking forward to miracles and longing for the heroic Lord to lead them out of the darkness!
"Brother Yi, when you came to Chang'an alone, did you ever think of this day?" Xiao Liu approached Zhang Yi and asked softly.
"No, Liu'er, I felt desolate and a little sad at that time. How did I know that there was someone I loved most in Chang'an!" Zhang Yi smiled slightly and was filled with emotion.
"Yes, my father is waiting for you, and I am waiting for you. We all believe that you can do something earth-shattering." Xiaoliu sighed, her eyes moistening again.
Zhang Yi took her hand and looked back at Guanyin Tower.
The father, queen and mother guard this city. They want to see their children defeat all invaders, see Chang'an become a paradise, and see China unify all the guests.
All this will come true, Zhang Yi firmly believes.
He took Xiaoliu to the north gate tower, stood on the strong and tall city wall, and looked to the north.
A large army appeared in the distance, and the entire wilderness was filled with black cavalry, coming like a tide.
"They look strange and mighty, but they are actually nothing but wine and rice bags." Xiao Liu said with disdain.
Zhang Yi's heart was filled with joy and pride. His beloved wife was so calm and calm in front of thousands of troops. She was truly a heroine.
"Just think of it as a dream, Liu'er," Zhang Yi said softly, "When you wake up from your dream, everything will disperse with the wind, and these people and horses will be buried in the loess under our feet!"
