Chapter 266

On the side of the Dianjiang stage facing the square, two rows of golden melon warriors stand closest to the Dianjiang stage. They are all tall and burly people selected from the self prohibition army. In fact, they are guards of honor. However, these people have good martial arts because they want to guard the emperor close.

Outside the golden melon warrior, there are a row of experts in the big internal guard office wearing flying fish robes.

The elite of the 500 imperial guards who accompanied the emperor stood on both sides of the commanding platform. While Fang Xie and his disciples were able to walk freely because they were wearing the clothes of imperial guards, but of course they could not run to the emperor and courtiers. They can patrol back and forth, but they must not be too far away from the commanding post.

The eight masters who stood on the four corners of the emperor's chariot were also on the point general stage at this time. Fang Xie specially looked at the eight people. Although they were wearing flying fish robes, they all covered their mouths and noses with brocade handkerchiefs, revealing only a pair of eyes. The distance is not very close, so Fang Xie can't even see their age.

When Fang Fang hated water, Fang Xie remembered Meng Wudi's words very clearly. He said that the internal guard office has now reached a difficult stage, and the garrison duties of the grand ceremony have been excluded. At that time, Meng Wudi's tone was full of desolation, and the sad solution could be understood. Today, Meng Wudi's words are true... The flying fish robe at the inner guard is at the outermost edge of the garrison emperor. It is even used as an honor guard when traveling.

The eight masters on the stage are obviously not from the Imperial Guard.

The once beautiful Imperial Guard Office has been reduced to this point. Think about it, it's only a matter in recent months, and Hou Wenji's rebellion is the fuse for the imperial abandonment of the Imperial Guard Office. Fang Xie can guess that the once frightening love yamen is now broken.

Today, on such an important occasion, Fang Xie didn't see Luo Weiran's shadow, which fully shows that the status of the internal guard office has plummeted.

Flowers never bloom... The world is hot and cold.

Fang Xie took back his thoughts and turned his eyes to the mighty zuowuwei army in the distance. It was one of the most elite troops in the Sui Dynasty and one of the six armies of the emperor guarding Chang'an city. This army will soon go to the northwest. But with this force, even if it is elite, how can it turn the tide?

He looked at many things in his eyes and thought about many things in his mind. Since the emperor sent General Yu manlou of zuowuwei to fight, he must have trusted this man. Yu manlou led the troops to accept the emperor's review today. There are tens of thousands of elites. How can Prince Yi succeed if he wants to rebel?

So now it seems that Prince Yi's means should be mainly on the overhaul walkers. A group of people who are strong in cultivation find a chance to sneak into the point general's platform and kill the emperor before zuowuwei's men and horses have time to encircle. But look around the emperor. The guard is so tight that even the overhaul walker can't kill the emperor in an instant. Up to now, there seems to be no sign of Prince Yi's plan, which makes Fang Xie feel more or less uneasy.

While patrolling back and forth, Fang Xie turned his attention to the red tea move. He was looking for the boss's figure, but he couldn't find it after looking carefully for a long time. Not only did not see the landlady, but also the figure of the old cripple. Fang Xie suddenly frowned and sighed.

How could I miss this!

He said something in his heart, which reminded him that the old lame also respected Prince Yi. He advised the proprietress to follow the red tea move before. He had already found the old lame to let him watch the proprietress and don't take risks impulsively. But he forgot that if the old cripple was impulsive, he didn't have to be the boss's wife at all.

At this point, Fang Xie's heart was in a mess.

The boss's wife is very kind to him. If something happens to the boss's wife, she can't feel at ease.

When he was thinking about these things, he suddenly saw a thin man close to the red tea move. The man is wearing the clothes of the red tea recruit, but he is definitely not the red tea recruit. That's a big dog. Fang Xie recognized it at a glance. Before, he asked the big dog to hide in Chang'an city. Today, the big dog can smell murderous gas. This ability is unique. It allows him to hide in other places and find the crisis earlier than following Fang Xie.

And Fang Xie makes an appointment with big dog. As long as he finds anything wrong, he will contact the person of tea recruitment. The little master of red tea moves will let the dancers use their dancing posture on the stage as a code word to remind Fang Xie's attention.

At this time, Zuo Wuwei's men and horses have not fully entered the site, and the big dog is close to the red tea move

Fang Xie's mind is cold!

In the crowd, the white haired old man who was proud of being a colonel of zuowuwei suddenly changed his face. His wife who got along with him day and night immediately noticed his change: "what's the matter?"

The old man frowned and murmured something wrong.

What's wrong with my wife?

After a moment of silence, the old man said, "according to the truth, soldiers who accept your Majesty's review can wear a knife, hold a sign, or carry a bow... But they must not carry feather arrows. Look, whether cavalry or infantry, their arrow pots are full... How can there be such a big negligence? If they are scolded by the emperor, even the top general will be punished!"

The old lady thought about it and said with a smile, "you're too sensitive. Isn't the army going to fight immediately? What's the matter with the feather arrow..."

The old man shook his head: "I hope so."

……

……

Three thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry of zuowuwei circled the square in half a circle, then entered the square according to the rules, and stood in a square behind the stage of the song and dance shop where red tea invited them. The army is more than 300 meters away from the emperor's commanding platform, separated by the stage and a channel reserved for the emperor to review the army.

A commander of the army passed around the army on a war horse and shouted at the soldiers to stand up. Soon, more than 10000 soldiers lined up in the square. If you look at it from above, it's neat squares, which will be amazing, just like cut tofu.

After Zuo Wuwei's men stood up, the etiquette officials responsible for planning and arranging today's ceremony began to get busy again. They are going to supervise those song and dance shops and must not make any mistakes. Which one will perform first and what program will be performed first must be verified, and the order must not be wrong.

Huai Qiugong, the Minister of rites, stood on the commanding officer's stage and supervised the actions of the officials of the rites with a thousand miles' eyes.

After the scene calmed down, Huai Qiugong turned back to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, it's ready. Can you let the people in the song and dance industry start?"

The Emperor gave a command and said, "go and tell the girls in the song and dance industry to work harder. My zuowuwei army is going to fight. This performance is not for me, but for them. I will give them a lot of rewards for their good performance."

Huai Qiugong answered, then turned around and ordered his men.

Not long ago, a total of 72 big drums placed in front of each stage beat at the same time. The drums like war thunder rang through the clouds, and the people who watched immediately quieted down. With the sound of the drum, the soldiers of zuowuwei beat the shields in their hands neatly with their horizontal knives, making peace with the sound of the drum. The atmosphere was immediately stirred up, and everyone's heart was boiling with pride.

Tens of thousands of elite, either beating shields or beating their own breastplates, cooperate with the sound of war drums in this way. Although this melody is very monotonous, it is definitely the most exciting song.

After nine war drums, a loud and distant horn sounded.

With the sound of the horn, the officials of the ritual Department began to urge the people of the song and dance company to perform on the stage. According to the regulations, more than a dozen song and dance companies performed programs in turn. Finally, all song and dance companies performed dances at the same time, breaking the west wind to strengthen the army. It is said that this piece of west wind breaking music was written by General Li Xiao during the reign of Emperor Taizong. He was a Confucian general and was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In his later years, he guarded the northwest frontier for the great Sui Dynasty and made this song in his spare time. The moral is to tell others his ambition. Although Li Xiao is old, he still has the heart to fight for his country, and breaking the west wind... The target naturally refers to the northwest Mongolian Yuan.

But it's funny and sad that Li Xiao's descendants colluded with the Mongolian Yuan people to seize the three roads in the northwest of the great Sui Dynasty. That was the place where Li Xiao guarded. The legendary man spent the rest of his life there.

This song is so popular that children in the Sui Dynasty can hum it.

Such an arrangement is obviously thoughtful. Think about it. The delicate women of more than a dozen song and dance companies perform a sonorous west wind before the army, which must be very effective in encouraging the soldiers.

The horn fell, and the first song and dance company on the stage performed a very classic song. The spring breeze was on the South Bank of the green river. The author of this song is no one else, but huaiqiu Gong, the Minister of rites. Huaiqiugong was born in the south of the Yangtze River. He was poor since childhood, but now he is recognized as a teacher by the students in the south of the Yangtze River. When he mentions it, he must be called Mr. Therefore, huaiqiugong's poems and songs are widely spread in Jiangnan.

Huaiqiugong couldn't help laughing as soon as the familiar song was played.

When he made this song, he was named the No. 1 scholar by the emperor at that time. He returned home in red and colorful clothes. When he returned to the south of the Yangtze River, it was early spring. On a whim, he made this song, the spring breeze and the South Bank of the green river. In a twinkling of an eye, decades have passed.

On the stage, several beautiful women danced like willows in the wind, which made people admire. Huaiqiu's work seemed to return to the past all at once.

He looked back at the emperor and found that the emperor was looking at him, too.

Two people looked at each other and smiled.

The performance of tea moves is at the end, so it will take some time. Because of this solution, he was anxious to know what the big dog found. Fortunately, he and xiaodingdian also agreed on the second set of code words. When another song and dance company performed the spring breeze and the South Bank of the green river, Xiaoding suddenly stepped onto the stage and seemed to inadvertently tidy up the flags on the stage.

That's the flag that Fang Xie taught her, not the flag of this era, but the flag used by Fang Xie's navy in previous generations. Fang Xie was fascinated by the Navy flag language in his previous life. When he was young, he tied the red scarf to a stick and waved it back and forth foolishly. He felt powerful and domineering.

Unexpectedly, it's used now.

When he saw the flag waving by Xiaoding, his heart immediately tightened!

Martial Arts Academy

In front of the library

Next to the stone table

President Zhou dropped his head gently and his face was calm. Sitting in front of him was a tall but thin old man with a beard down to his chest. Wearing a black Taoist robe, solemn and solemn.

"Duke Zhou is good at calculation"

This old man in black Taoist robe can only be immortal Xiao of Leshan Yiqi view in the Qing Dynasty!

He held a white boy in his hand and hesitated for a long time. He couldn't fall down: "this hand is wonderful. It pushed me to death..."

He sighed a little disappointed, and then put the chess pieces back in the box: "no, I lost. No matter how I count, I lost."

"Since you know how to lose, why should you be paranoid?"

President Zhou asked.

Immortal Xiao smiled and said, "the outcome on the chessboard is not a victory or defeat. The chessboard has 19 directions. It seems unfathomable, but it's just a fun thing."

President Zhou asked, "give me a reason?"

While picking up the pieces on the chessboard, immortal Xiao said in a flat tone: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to my Taoist sect. I am grateful. I was lonely in the street to gossip, which is actually no different from begging. Your majesty pity me and made me a Taoist sect leader. It is reasonable that I should be satisfied, so even I think it is too much. Why should I betray your Majesty's love? I sat down late at night and thought carefully before I realized that it was just a greedy word after all."

"A person sitting at the foot of the mountain can't see the top of the mountain. But when a person sits only one step away from the top of the mountain, he always thinks that it should be wonderful to sit at the top."

He asked, "do you know how the Great Khan of Meng Yuan succeeded to the throne?"

President Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, sighed and said, "I see. It turns out... You want to be the big wheel Ming king of the Sui Dynasty."
