reincarnated as emperor [rebirth]

Chapter 36. Departure

Unconsciously, half a month passed in a flash, everything that should be prepared has been arranged, and the affairs of the court have also been entrusted to the prime minister and several loyal officials.Today is the day of the expedition. On this day, Huangfu Yunzheng and Ling Qiu got up very early, but they were relatively silent. After breakfast, the two returned to the Qiushui Palace to make final preparations.

Opening the wardrobe in the hall, Ling Qiu took out a silver armor from it. Under the sunlight, the armor reflected sharp light, and everything it touched was extremely hard.This piece of armor is a relic left by the late emperor. It is said that he fought with the late emperor in all directions and made great achievements in battle. He blocked many fatal injuries for the late emperor. Therefore, on the eve of the late emperor's death, he left this armor to the prince who was still at that time. The famous Huangfu Yunzheng, he will wear it for this expedition.

Walking in front of him, Ling Qiu first helped Huangfu Yunzheng take off his coat, then spread out the armor carefully and carefully put it on his body, he stretched his arms around his waist, and helped him fasten his belt.

Looking at Ling Qiu, who was seriously moving with drooping eyes in front of him, with the posture of buckling his waist and belt, so that he was in his arms, as if actively snuggling against his chest, Huangfu Yunzheng's heart suddenly softened, and he opened his arms Hold Ling Qiu tighter in his arms.

"What's wrong?" Ling Qiu paused for a moment, raised his head and asked.

"It's nothing." Huangfu Yunzheng shook his head, but pulled his arms tighter, "I just want to hug you." At this time the armor was put on, and the two stood in front of a bronze mirror, and the picture of embracing each other was seen in the mirror exhaustive.

Facing the puzzled gaze of the person in his upper arms, his heart surged again, and he couldn't help lowering his head, kissing those soft lips gently, tasting the taste of Ling Qiu's mouth.

After a while, he slowly let go of his embrace, held Ling Qiu's hand and said: "Let's go, everyone is still waiting for us." The palm tightened a little bit, and he took his hand and walked out together.

Before he took a few steps, he saw a white shadow flashing in front of him. Huangfu Yunzheng took a closer look, and it turned out that the little preserved egg rushed over. I don't know if it knew that the two of them were about to leave, so it didn't bark its teeth and claws at him, but looked pitifully. watch them.

Ling Qiu bent down to pick up the little preserved egg, stroked its smooth fur affectionately, turned his head and looked at Huangfu Yunzheng, and said softly, regardless of whether the little preserved egg could understand, "Little preserved egg, we are not in the palace." In the middle, don't run around, just wait for us to come back, you know?"

As soon as the words fell, the little preserved egg in his arms whimpered softly, clearly understanding what he said, it writhed back and forth in his arms, with its small head resting on his shoulders, looking sullen .

"Okay, it's not like I won't be back. There are so many maids in the palace who can play with you." Huangfu Yunzheng said helplessly, it's time for him to separate from Lingqiu for a while, and when the little preserved egg has a "new love", he said Maybe she will never pester Ling Qiu again.

Although he was reluctant, but his departure was imminent, time could not be delayed, so he handed the little preserved egg to Xi'er, Ling Qiu rubbed its head, and turned to leave with Huangfu Yunzheng.

Soon they arrived outside the city, all the soldiers were ready to go, the handsome flag fluttered in the wind, there was a hunting sound, and the cannons were booming. Everyone watched their lord approaching step by step.

I saw Huangfu Yunzheng wearing silver armor, with a dignified appearance and sharp brows, his eyes glanced sharply at everyone present, then walked to the side of a black horse, took the wine bowl from Shang Liang, After gulping it down, he smashed it hard on the ground, and the porcelain bowl shattered into pieces on the hard ground, making a crisp sound.

"God bless Dongcang, Dongcang will win!" The porcelain bowl smashed to the ground, the handsome flag was held high, and the messenger behind Huangfu Yunzheng roared loudly, and the soldiers of the three armies echoed, the sound shook the whole field, and the mountains and rivers were majestic.

"Let's go!" Raising his hand and swiping down vigorously, Huangfu Yunzheng turned on his horse and lightly pinched the horse's belly. The black horse named Ming Ye raised its hooves and rushed forward, passing the soldiers of the three armies and taking the lead.

Ling Qiu mounted his horse behind him, let out a soft drink and followed his footsteps, the soldiers followed after him, the gates of the city opened slowly, and the people lined up to see each other off.

After leaving the capital, there are vast mountains and plains, approaching the desert, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Everyone is tense, and no one wants to show weakness at this juncture.

Finally arrived at a flat open space, Huangfu Yunzheng raised his hand to stop his progress, and whispered to Chen Xie who was beside him: "Pause to rest, and leave after an hour."

As soon as the words were finished, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and found an open space to rest for a while. Ling Qiu who was at the side also dismounted and walked to Huangfu Yunzheng to sit down.

"Are you thirsty?" Seeing the sweat on Ling Qiu's face, Huangfu Yunzheng reached out and took out a water bottle from his waist and handed it to him, then wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeves without hesitation.

Although the two were sitting far away, sharp-eyed soldiers still saw them, and they laughed as they watched, with envy in their eyes. The emperor and queen are so loving that they don't want to be separated even when marching and fighting. It's great.

As if sensing the gaze not far away, Ling Qiu gently pushed Huangfu Yunzheng's hand away, looked back with some embarrassment, and said, "Okay, everyone is here."

"What are you afraid of? Who would dare to make a mistake?" Huangfu Yunzheng glanced at the soldiers behind him, and immediately no one dared to look in their direction. He put his arms around Ling Qiu and continued to wipe off his sweat.

An hour later, the army continued to move forward. After approaching the desert, it was not as muggy as before. After several days of marching, they finally arrived in the desert. Huangfu Yunzheng chose a place and ordered to set up camp.

The soldiers got busy, some began to prepare dinner, some helped the soldiers beside them to stabilize the tent together, while Huangfu Yunzheng, Chen Xie and Shang Liang went to the tent that was set up first to study the map.

After nearly a month of preliminary preparations, the map of the Hu people has been accurately drawn. There are not only topographic maps, but also warnings about the common weather in the desert, which can be described as extremely comprehensive.

While they were studying, Ling Qiu came to the barracks alone, looked up at the sky, the yellow sky was completely different from the blue of the capital, even the wind was scorching hot, after watching for a while, he turned around and came outside the tent, Lift the curtain and enter.

Seeing that it was the queen who came, Chen Xun and Shang Liang saluted one after another, Ling Qiu waved his hands away, and then said to Huangfu Yunzheng: "Just now I observed the sky outside, according to my inference, there will definitely be a lot of wind and sand in a few days, When the time comes, the sky will be full of yellow sand, so we have to make preparations in advance." At this time, he was very grateful that they had prepared the veil in advance, and it would definitely play a big role in the next battle.

And in the desert, one more thing to pay attention to is to ensure sufficient food and water. Although they have prepared enough food and water before entering the desert, no one knows when this battle will end , so it is essential to find an oasis in the desert.

The three of them nodded after hearing the words. They had considered all these issues, but they couldn't rush to find the oasis. If they couldn't find it, they had to do such a time-consuming and laborious task as ordering people to return to Beijing to transport water.

At night, Huangfu Yunzheng was still negotiating with the two generals, all the tents had been set up, and the soldiers took turns patrolling everywhere, Ling Qiu was alone with nothing to do, so he simply came to a high slope, looked up at the night view.

The night sky in the desert and the great distance in the capital, because there are no high tile walls around, so things look very wide, and the stars and the moon seem to be within reach. Being in the desert, the mentality is completely different from that in the capital. Different, more heroic and passionate.

Soldiers were patrolling, and the rustling sound of shoes was heard not far away, but there was no other sound. Ling Qiu closed his eyes, feeling as if he was flying into the air, and his body was extremely relaxed.

At this moment, with a hand on his shoulder, he turned his head to look, and met Huangfu Yunzheng's smiling eyes. The two sat side by side, and their backs looked harmonious and beautiful.

"The discussion is over?" Ling Qiu was held by him, and his calloused fingers slowly rubbed in his palm. He looked at him sideways, his eyes as bright as the night sky.

Huangfu Yunzheng nodded, withdrew his fingers and changed to holding his palm. After a long silence, he tightened his fingers and said seriously: "Don't worry, we will definitely win."

"I know." Holding his hand back, Ling Qiu's eyes were full of trust and firmness. He slowly rested his head on his broad shoulders, finding a comfortable position, "I have always believed in you."

There was no response, Huangfu Yunzheng hugged his shoulders silently, stroking his smooth long hair with his hand once and for all, as he looked at the boundless desert, the blood called conquering in his heart boiled, as if it was about to break through his body.

No matter what, he is determined to conquer this desert, pacify the barbarians, and rule Dongcang!

Besides, not long after Huangfu Yunzheng ordered the attack on the Hu clan, the news reached Hu Lie. Although he was surprised, he was not afraid, but immediately came to his father's residence and offered himself to meet the enemy.

Obviously, King Hu was very useful for his volunteering, and Dang even ordered him to take the soldiers to meet the enemy, vowing to defend the Hu clan and never let Huangfu Yunzheng succeed.

Hu Lie was ordered to leave, and immediately summoned a military adviser to discuss with the general. When he learned that Shen Lingqiu had also come, he was stunned for a while, and raised his brow unconsciously.

Originally, he was still trying to figure out how to get that person, but he didn't expect that he would come by himself, which just happened to save him a lot of trouble. It seems that this war will definitely be very interesting.

And Huangfu Yunzheng couldn't hold his breath anymore, otherwise how could he take the initiative to raise troops? Although they did have evil intentions, they were not so obvious on the surface. The reason why Huangfu Yunzheng did this was because he wanted to eliminate future troubles forever Bar.

He, Hu Lie, is not a stupid person. Since Huangfu Yunzheng took the initiative to attack, he will not be soft-hearted. If he wants to dominate the country, the beauty will not let go easily!

A flash of light flashed in his eyes, he turned around and walked outside the door, and said loudly: "Order to gather the soldiers and send troops in five days. This time, this prince will have to meet Huangfu Yunzheng for a while!"

"Yes!" The soldiers outside took the order to leave, and Hu Lie stood with his hands behind his back, with a sinister smile on his lips.
