On June 14, Prime Minister Li's fleet came to the dock outside the Imperial Capital. The Imperial Capital dock was the largest dock in the entire Daqian Empire. Prime Minister Li was worried about the memory of this place.
The Imperial Capital Wharf is huge and prosperous. The number of permanent troops stationed here reaches 50,000. Plus the security forces and the like, the number reaches more than 100,000. It can be called a huge city.
Most of the ships could no longer enter the imperial capital after reaching this point. Li Xiang and his party slowed down, and the ships following the Xiliang fleet on both sides wisely stayed away from these huge warships.
People on both sides of the pier saw the huge fortune ship. Even the well-informed people in the imperial capital, most of them saw such a huge ship for the first time.
Attracting the attention of countless people on both sides, Li Xiang dropped from the top of the lucky ship to the bottom of the cabin, put on a bright red armor, and held the Fangtian Painted Halberd. The armor on Xing Liao was also carefully processed.
The Xiliang cavalry behind them all showed their best, and Prime Minister Li had the privilege of being able to bring two thousand soldiers into the city.
Three gorgeous carriages were prepared at the back, and the princess's bodyguards numbered 500. The female soldiers responsible for protecting Wu Yating and others took off their armors, put on simple clothes, and held horizontal swords. They were not counted as soldiers, at most they were the ones carrying swords. maid.
As long as you don’t bring anything like bows and crossbows in Daqian, you can bring whatever weapons you like. Of course, if you insist on bringing weapons into places where you are not allowed to bring weapons, that’s your own problem!
In addition to the Xiliang headquarters, there are also a large number of followers drawn from the Seventh Army and the Eighth Army. Their task is to transport the gifts presented to the emperor by Prime Minister Li.
The general guarding the dock immediately received news of the arrival of Liangzhou Governor Li Xiang. He personally led 3,000 people to drive away the people on both sides of the dock to make way for Li Xiang.
Before Prime Minister Li arrived, he received an oral instruction from his superiors that His Majesty valued Prime Minister Li very much!
Onlookers on both sides saw the army dispatched to clear a place for Li Xiangqing, and asked with some amusement: "Whose family does this fleet belong to, and they can actually let the garrison clear a place for them?"
Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming every three years, major families from all over Daqian have sent people to participate in this festival. Both the grassland and the demon clan will send their most elite disciples.
The same is true in Daqian, and the disciples of the top forces will also be dispatched one after another.
This festival will be bigger than the one three years ago.
Many aristocratic families came in advance, but none of those aristocratic families had such treatment.
The people in the tea house were also talking a lot because they didn't recognize the flags on those ships. They all knew the flags of the top worlds.
A bloody wolf head suddenly appeared, such a weird flag, how could they know about it?
The storyteller in the restaurant saw this scene. Others didn't know about the bloody wolf head, but he knew it!
What do their storytellers rely on for a living? It's not just this kind of thing. Li Xiangke, the governor of Liangzhou, is a legend and is the focus of their storytellers.
boom!
The storyteller patted the heavy wood in his hand to attract the attention of those people. The storyteller said: "The bloody wolf-head flag, if my guess is correct, this team comes from the northwest. If I say the governor of Northwest Jiuyuan, you may I don’t know, I’m talking about the governor of Liangzhou, you may not know either.
However, I want to talk about someone that you may all know!"
A strong man threw out a broken piece of silver: "No, what a riddle, hurry up!"
The storyteller smiled and put away the money: "Princess Qingluan!"
"Last year, His Majesty granted Princess Qingluan a marriage to the Liangzhou Governor, and the person who is now at the dock is, if nothing else, Li Xiang, the Liangzhou Governor. The bloody wolf-head flag is the battle flag of Li Xiang!"
"What, he is Princess Qingluan's husband!"
"It turns out it's him!"
"It's really unfair that a butcher can marry a princess!"
"Everyone, can anyone go with me to see what Li Xiang, the governor of Liangzhou, looks like!"
The crowd in the teahouse was excited for a moment. Princess Qingluan was the dream lover of countless people in the imperial capital. The status of Daqian women was not low, and girls could go out at will just like men.
Princess Qingluan is the princess who likes to go out the most, making friends with talents from all over the world. She is the dream lover in the hearts of countless people.
Last year when they heard that Princess Qingluan was getting married, countless people were drunk in the restaurant. Now that the man who stole the princess was here, how could they not go and take a look.
Soon the news came that people were coming on board the ship, and there were more and more people on both sides of the pier.
In a tall restaurant, a young man's gloomy face saw more and more people on both sides, and a sneer appeared on his face: "A family abandoned son, just got some shitty luck, what are you waiting for to find him?" The opportunity behind you depends on how arrogant you are!"
"Sir, everything has been arranged!" A voice came from outside.
"You don't want any swords and arrows, you know?" the young man said.
The voice from outside said: "Don't worry, young master, they are just rotten eggs, enough to make him look embarrassed!"
“Then do it!”
Click, click, click!
The huge ship's warehouse slowly opened, and Xiliang Navy soldiers quickly built the pontoon bridge. Li Xiang, wearing a bright red armor, rode at the front. From here to the inner city at the core of the imperial capital, there is still a long way to go!
Xing Liao could feel the excitement in Li Xiang's heart. Every step he took was extremely smooth. The carriages from other ship cabins also came out. Each carriage was loaded with all kinds of geniuses and treasures, all of which were given to the emperor.
If we use gold and silver to estimate the value, the value of these goods is at least nearly 10 million taels of silver.
Of course, this also needs to be sold. Many of these things are mass-produced in the northwest, and are taken care of by farmers in Xiliang. A large number of goods can be received every once in a while.
Things are rare and expensive. In order to maintain the price, Xiliang does not sell in large quantities and sometimes even reduces the quantity sold. Now looking at the emperor, of course he has to give more precious things.
There are a lot of these things in the northwest, but they seem to be very precious here, and the more precious various primeval stones are packed in Qiankun bags.
When Li Xiang stepped on the stone road in the Capital of God, he looked around and saw that the pier still had not changed at all!
Perhaps it can be said that even after this city changed its owner, there was still no change at all.
The garrison general looked at Li Xiang from a distance. Li Xiang's extremely tall figure put a lot of pressure on him. The Xiliang cavalry followed them. When they got to the shore, they dismounted and lined up in order, waiting for orders.
The wheel is the wheel!
Three carriages came out of the ship. They were driven by three old men. One was wearing a monk's robe, and the other two were wearing yellow coats. Next to them was a man in black clothes and a mask.
Next to the men in black were the princess's personal guards and a large number of Xiliang female soldiers. Zhang Qingyun came from the other side with the Xiliang envoy. Soon, the originally empty space became extremely crowded, especially behind Xiliang.
The carriages transporting goods seem endless.
The garrison garrison general had no choice but to ask people to expand the area, so that Xiliang and his party could all hear the news on land.
After sending people off, the boat slowly moved towards the place where the boat was parked.
"Guardian of the West Pier of the Imperial Capital, Zhou Jianbang has met Li Cishi!" Zhou Jianbang saluted Prime Minister Li. His position was that of a feudal official, which was higher than him, the guard of the Imperial Capital Pier: "Your Majesty has ordered us to escort the Cishi and his entourage.
Inner city!”
Li Xiang looked at the more and more people around him and felt a little better. He had no objection to the emperor's arrangement: "Then I'll bother General Zhou!"
"No!" Zhou Jianbang walked to his horse and said, "I will clear the way for the governor!"
Zhou Jianbang also brought five hundred cavalry. These five hundred cavalry raised flags and led the way. No one dared to block their way.
Li Xiang mounted his horse, and Xiliang soldiers mounted their horses one after another. Li Xiang walked at the front of the Xiliang army, followed by the princess's carriage, Wu Yating's carriage, Qian Duoduo's carriage, and Xiliang iron cavalry guarding both sides.
Dragging a long team, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry looked like a wolf in its mask and kept one hand on its weapon.
As long as there is any problem around them, they will draw their weapons. In their hearts, the lord, mistress, and little master are more important than anyone else, including them.
The four great masters seemed to be very relaxed, but everyone was mentally tense. As long as there was some movement, they didn't mind taking action.
The four great masters join forces, even if they face the Daqian royal family, they are confident enough to leave with the governor and his family.
No, the governor does not need them to carry him. Li Xiang's body is stronger than those of the great masters. At this time, he has developed towards a more powerful body. It is estimated that it will not take long to reach the flesh and blood of the golden body.
.
He was about to reach the realm of a grandmaster. Before he reached the realm of a master, Li Xiang had already defeated none of the masters who could fight back. Even the King of Ferocious Beasts was no match for him.
After he reaches the realm of the master, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the great masters to kill him, because you can restrain the power of heaven and earth, but you cannot restrain Li Xiang and the soldiers of Xiliang.
Xiliang soldiers practice their own way, and their great power belongs to themselves. Their demand for the power of heaven and earth is not very high. If you limit the power of heaven and earth, the impact on them will be very low.
Li Xiang did not wear a mask, and he had an ordinary appearance. Under a bright, exaggerated and very arrogant armor, coupled with his tall figure and Xing Liao's foil, he looked very brave.
Many people didn't dare to look at Mr. Li's eyes for a second time. The feeling made them feel as if they were being stared at by a giant bloody wolf.
"What excellent equipment!" Several young people in the crowd looked at the weapons on the Xiliang cavalry. They saw the long weapons on their backs, the two swords hanging on their waists, the hammers, long bows, and long arrows on the war horses.
, crossbows, all kinds of things, and that mask that looks a little scary.
The war horses under them were also armed to the teeth. When the war horses opened their mouths, they saw a pair of iron teeth. The Xiliang war horses were dominant on the battlefield. Sometimes they killed as many enemies as the knights.
Iron armor, iron hoofs, and various animal skin products that protect the joints but do not affect the running of the war horse.
"I heard that there are more than 30,000 Xiliang cavalrymen!" A young man said coldly.
"Thirty thousand!" Several other young men stared wide-eyed. They all came from the south. The south has very few war horses. Most of them are infantry, and they are all light infantry.
It was rare to see cavalry like this in front of them. If such heavy cavalry charged, they didn't know what kind of troops could block their charge.
"This Governor Li is so rich!" The cost of such a heavy cavalry was not less than several thousand taels of silver, not counting the cost of Xiliang's war horses.
Can the knight's war horse be an ordinary war horse if it can carry such load-bearing armor?
When these young people were chatting, the young man who spoke coldly saw many figures moving around him. He also had something in his hand. They could see that it was a bit sharp.
Li Xiang, who was riding at the front, had a cold look in his eyes, and the murderous intent on the Xiliang cavalry was instantly released.
"total!"
The soldiers approaching the carriage immediately protected the three carriages tightly. People around them didn't know what happened. Those who were not prepared were also stunned when they saw the self-examination troops.
They were still in the preparation stage, and these people discovered them?
No matter, they didn't really want to kill anyone in this attack anyway. As long as they launched the attack, they would achieve their goal!
Zhou Jianbang, who was at the front, felt the cold murderous aura. He had just felt some people moving around him, but before anyone could react, the Xiliang army was already ready to react!
"attack!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Some of the Xiliang cavalry on their war horses picked up their crossbows and fired at the surroundings. People watching on both sides felt the killing intent emanating from the Xiliang cavalry and were so frightened that they stood still.
Before they could react, long cold arrows flew past them. People with their faces covered fell down one by one, and several people dressed as civilians also fell to the ground.
When these people fell, the civilians could see a large number of weapons in the hands of these people, including crossbows, blowguns...
"Damn it!"
In a restaurant, a second-rate expert launched a huge crossbow and aimed it at Li Xiang. Li Xiang picked up his long bow and shot it casually.
Whoosh!
The long arrow passed through the neck of the big man, and the alert state of the Xiliang army was immediately lifted.
"General Zhou, the security situation in the imperial capital is not very good these days!"
Li Xiang said to Zhou Jianbang: "In broad daylight, someone can actually use such illegal weapons to attack high-ranking officials. Isn't this thief too rampant!"
Sweat dripped from Zhou Jianbang's forehead: "Don't worry, Governor Li, I will give you an explanation for this matter!"
"That's good, please ask General Zhou to continue leading the way! I want to go somewhere to rest early!"
The Xiliang cavalry quickly returned to their original formation, and the soldiers who fired the crossbow arrows put the arrow feathers back on to keep them ready to shoot at any time!
The troops stationed at the dock quickly dispatched to preserve the bodies of the thieves who had been killed by Xiliang soldiers.
"So strong!"
Many people who were watching in secret wiped the sweat from their foreheads. The killing intent emanating from the Xiliang cavalry made them feel scared.
