The short three-day holiday passed almost in the blink of an eye. The Young Army regrouped and started intensive training. Although other armies did not assemble until after the Lantern Festival, no one in the Young Army complained. They knew that they
I can't compare with those veterans. I am far from being a qualified officer and soldier. I still have too many things to learn and practice. I just regret that I don't have enough time...
But the death was like this, and the first month came out in the blink of an eye. On the second day of February, the military dispatch ceremony before the emperor's personal expedition began. Within three days, Emperor Yongle ordered the prince who stayed behind to guard the country to offer sacrifices to the Temple of Heaven, the Ancestral Temple and the Taisui God.
But he himself was locked up alone in the tower of Bao'en Temple, praying silently with tears in front of the Queen Mother's shrine, begging for protection, fasting and bathing as expected. Two days later, he issued an order to reward the soldiers who went on the expedition with money, and told them to work together as one.
Fight bravely to kill the enemy, and those who have meritorious deeds will be generously rewarded by the nobles. Everything is ready, and it is the eighth day of February, the day when the army sets off.
The night before, Wang Xian took the time to go home and say goodbye to his wife. Even though Lin Qing'er was filled with knots in her heart, she still shed tears in her heart and gave him a calm smile in order to allow him to set out with peace of mind. Wang Xian could naturally understand this.
In response to his wife's deep affection, the couple held hands and talked a lot. When it was quiet outside, Lin Qing'er mustered up her courage, her face was burning like a cloud, and her voice was like a mosquito chirping: "Give me..."
Wang Xian was stunned. Although he could understand the meaning of these words, Lin Qing'er was a very conservative woman and had never taken the initiative, so he was not sure whether that was what she meant.
But he understood the next moment, and heard Lin Qing'er murmur: "I want a child..." After saying that, she hugged his neck tightly and offered her hot lips. Wang Xian thought that the separation was imminent,
With so much reluctance in his heart, he undressed and took off his belt, and became entangled with his beloved wife like glue. This night, Lin Qing'er was particularly obsessed with it, and again and again, she climbed to the peak of spirit and body...
At dawn, after kissing his sleeping wife's cheek, Wang Xian quietly got up and tiptoed to the door. He looked back again and stared deeply at her face. Seeing that she was sleeping peacefully, he felt relieved and walked out. Then when the door curtain was lowered,
In an instant, tears rolled down Lin Qing'er's cheeks, like broken beads, which could not be stopped. She had to bury her head in the pillow to stop crying...
In the outer room, while Yu She was dressing Wang Xian, she said with tears in her eyes: "Sir, the opera sings 'The sword has no eyes,' so you have to pay attention, and you must come back with all your tail, otherwise, otherwise, Madam
I have to die of sadness." After that, he added in a low voice: "I will also be very sad..."
Wang Xian felt warm in his heart after hearing this. He reached out to hold Yu She's slender waist in his arms, kissed her delicate forehead, and said with a smile: "Little Jasmine, I know your heart, and you are also pretending to be in my heart."
.”
"Really?" Yu She was so happy that she hugged him tightly and murmured: "Master, you are so kind..."
"Haha, you don't know how good I am, wait until I come back from the battlefield..." Wang Xian smiled and pinched her cheek, letting go of the little beauty for you to pick, and patted her newly developed buttocks and said:
"Come on, let me see you out.
"Yes." Yu She nodded vigorously, wiped away the tears with her backhand, carried Wang Xian's luggage, and followed him out of the main room.
When they came to the hall, they saw Gu Xiaolian waiting there. The beautiful lady came forward with difficulty carrying a food box and said softly: "My family has made some snacks for you that are not afraid of spoiling. They can be stored for a month or two. On the way.
eat slowly."
Wang Xian looked at the bloodshot eyes of the pretty girl and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Have you not slept all night?"
"It's nothing. I'll just go back and catch up on some sleep. It's difficult and dangerous for adults to go to Mobei, but you must take care of yourself." Gu Xiaolian said that the circles under her eyes were red.
"I know." Wang Xian said, stretching out his hand to wipe her tears: "Take care of yourself, too." Gu Xiaolian suddenly stretched out her jade arms, hugged his neck desperately, and kissed his lips.
Leaving a deep kiss, her eyes were as charming as silk, and she said with ecstasy: "Don't worry about me again, I will never be sorry to you even if I die..."
"Yes." Wang Xian nodded heavily, carrying the heavy food box, and left the hall.
When they came to the courtyard, they saw Lingxiao angrily kicking the wooden stakes used for martial arts training. She came back from Wudang Mountain early in order to catch up with the expedition. Unexpectedly, before setting off, Wang Xian asked her to
She stayed in the capital because she had a more important task entrusted to her... The little girl was so angry that she had been having a cold war with him from then until now.
Wang Xian wanted to sneak away quietly, but the little girl had eyes in the back of her head and said coldly: "Stop."
"Ah, master, you're up so early?" Wang Xian stood still with a look of surprise on his face, and said with a smile on his face: "I thought you were still sleeping, so I didn't say hello."
"Humph, who are you lying to? You just want to avoid me." Ling Xiao turned around angrily, looked at him coldly and said, "Have you changed your mind?"
"For now...no." Wang Xian said casually.
"Humph" Lingxiao said with a stern face: "My master orders you to take me with you on the expedition."
"What's the good thing about going to the battlefield?" Wang Xian sighed and said: "Having food in the open air, sleeping in the ice and snow, and not being able to take a bath for several months... That is simply not a human life. Hua Mulan can't help it, you have to join in the fun.
"Aren't people worried about you?" Ling Xiao was so angry that he wanted to kick him, and said with a cry: "If your kung fu is as good as my brother, who cares about you?"
"Silly girl," Wang Xian felt his heart heat up when he heard this, and said softly: "Fighting on the battlefield relies on the army as a group. The strength of individual martial arts is of little use. Besides, isn't your brother going with me? Are you still here?
What are you worried about?"
"I, I" Lingxiao grabbed his collar and said, "If I don't follow, it doesn't mean that I don't feel at ease."
"Okay, be obedient. You have a more important mission when you stay in the capital. The safety of my family depends on you." Wang Xian said warmly: "Protect your sister Lin for me, okay?"
"Yes." Lingxiao nodded reluctantly, handed him the bundle and said, "Sister Xiu'er gave this to you. She was crying in tears in the room."
"Alas..." Wang Xian looked at Xiao Baicai's room. It was the most difficult thing for him to bear the kindness of a beauty. How could he bear the kindness of a beautiful woman in this family?
After getting on the carriage back to the military camp, Wang Xian opened the food box prepared by Gu Xiaolian and saw a large box of snacks packed tightly inside. No wonder it was so heavy. Each snack was carefully wrapped in oil paper.
Keeping it, this can prevent odor transfer and keep it longer... No wonder she said she would only eat it for a month or two.
Wang Xian gently closed the lid of the box and sighed secretly. Hundreds of years later, he would never dare to think of a stunning beauty like Gu Xiaolian. But in this era, when he treated her so coldly, she
But she can treat herself sincerely, which really makes people feel unworthy for her. But whether it is worth it or not is not his decision. It is this era and Gu Xiaolian himself who is qualified to judge.
Unpacking Zheng Xiuer's baggage again, Wang Xian saw several pairs of close-fitting silk underwear and cotton socks... By this time in the Ming Dynasty, people's underwear styles looked little different from those of later generations.
But the feeling of wearing them is quite different. One is that men's underwear is too big and not close to the body, the other is that men generally don't wear underwear, and the other is that socks are like cloth bags, which makes them uncomfortable no matter how they wear them. Wang Xian dare not be unconventional in his outerwear.
, but in the underwear that no one could see, he wanted to make himself more comfortable. When he was in Hangzhou, he asked a tailor to make several pairs of silk underwear according to his own ideas, and also found someone to spin a few pairs of cotton thread.
Socks are much more comfortable to wear.
However, the training in the past six months has been too hard. Even though he didn't have to lead the way, he still wore out all his socks and underwear. He didn't have time to find someone to do it again, so he could only change back to the ordinary style regardless of whether it was comfortable or not. Now in the baggage
Neatly stacked, they were the same style and size of pantyhose that he designed, which surprised him... Where did Xiao Baicai know this style? But after being surprised, he felt a burst of joy.
This polite little widow was able to put aside her shyness and prepare these close-fitting clothes for herself. Her intentions were so clear that even a blind person could see them.
With the concern of the whole family, Wang Xian returned to the military camp. All the generals were neatly dressed, waiting for him and His Highness Taisun. After a while, Zhu Zhanji came back from the palace and talked about today's precautions.
Order the army to assemble, march out of camp, and go to the Meridian Gate for review
When the bells and drums hanging on the Hongwu Gate rose leisurely, the outgoing army was already lined up densely in front of the Meridian Gate. It was so majestic that the prince who stayed in the capital was missing. The rare young master Yao Guangxiao, led by ministers and officials from the six ministries, was not seen.
More than 300 people also sent the emperor off to the expedition in front of the Meridian Gate. Hundreds of thousands of people in the capital had received two orders of amnesty and a large army to attack Mongolia the day before... Although they did not like Zhu Di, the army sent out for the expedition
However, their disciples and soldiers gathered early in the morning outside the newly installed silk curtains on Tianjie Street to bid farewell to each other. Every household on the street also set up an incense case with wine and meat, which was regarded as a farewell to Master Wang...
At noon, I heard the sound of three cannons on the imperial city. Chengtian Gate, Zhengyang Gate, and Meridian Gate opened at the same time. In the Changyin Pavilion, there was a loud sound of sheng and bamboo, and groups of people held up dragon flags and treasure flags.
The Han generals marched out from the Meridian Gate like a flowing stream, followed by Jinyi Guards, Yulin Guards, and Tiger Guards. After the 20,000 emperor's personal troops had left, they saw His Highness the King of Han, who was accompanying him on this expedition, surrounded by dozens of generals.
Next, riding a royal horse and appearing outside the Meridian Gate
Zhu Gaoxu stared at Zhu Gaochi and the group of ministers, raised his head slightly, drew out the Emperor's Sword given by the emperor, held it in his hand, and shouted: "My emperor personally conquered, conquered everything, punished the people, and the world is good."
Immediately, hundreds of trumpets raised their heads to the sky and blasted loudly. Almost at the same time, the Crown Prince led hundreds of officials to raise dust and dance in obeisance, shouting "Long live the mountains". The soldiers of the three armies also knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
