The Regent's Koi Princess

next day

Imperial South Gate

When the common people in the Imperial Capital heard that Young Master Lin from the Prime Minister's Mansion was going to lead an expedition to the south to quell the rebellion, they waited at the city gate early to see these brave warriors off.

At dawn, the crowd was surging outside the South City Gate, but the scene was solemn.

After a while, Lin Qingyue took the lead and rode out of the South City Gate slowly on horseback.

He was seen in a black military uniform, with a sword named Chengying hanging from his waist. He was riding a black Arabian horse, looking so majestic.

The handsome young man of the past is now wearing a general's armor, which makes him even more eye-catching.

Following closely behind him were the Right Censor Tang Baokun and his beloved daughter, Tang Huiru, who was disguised as a man.

On weekdays, Tang Huiru either dressed as a girl or in a servant's coarse blue shirt, but now she was wearing a white military uniform, sitting astride a tall red horse, looking so heroic.

The same was true for Luo Yao beside her. She took off her eunuch attire and put on a light blue military uniform. There was always a faint smile on her delicate little face, which was the size of a palm.

She talked with her parents for most of the night last night. Lord and Mrs. Luo already understood her feelings, but they just told her to be careful and not to lose anyone for the sake of her resolve.

The couple had only one request, that Luo Yao must return safely. Luo Yao understood her parents' painstaking efforts. But she also knew that this trip to Nanjing was her best chance to get close to Brother Xiaotian, so she couldn't let it go.

Walking in front, her heart was beating fast. When she thought of her brother Xiaotian following behind her, the corners of Luo Yao's mouth kept rising.

At this moment, her heart was warm, and she seemed more energetic and looked even more charming.

Following closely behind were Long Xiaotian, Ba Daoyun, Kuang Shafei and the brothers from Longhu Mountain.

Different from the past, today they have completely gotten rid of their banditry and are now full of righteousness.

They all have handsome young faces, and in the eyes of the people, they are so friendly and yet majestic.

Seeing these men who were about to go to the battlefield with their lives uncertain, some people began to wipe their tears and sob.

In order to defend the country, the Western Zhou Dynasty sent soldiers out countless times, but each time almost no one survived.

I don’t know how much blood of Western Zhou soldiers was shed on the hands of the Nanjing barbarians.

Whenever the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty thought of it, they wished they could pick up shovels and sticks and rush to Nanping.

Today, these young faces, knowing that the road ahead is dangerous yet still choosing to move forward, how can we not be moved.

At this moment, a white-haired old man trembled as he raised his cane and pointed at the team that was about to leave. Tears and respect flashed in his eyes: "Master Lin, on weekdays, he was just a scholar writing with a pen. Who would have thought that today he could stand up and take up arms? This kind of responsibility is really a role model for our generation!"

After the old man finished speaking, he raised his hand to wipe his tears, but eventually he couldn't help but burst into tears. He couldn't bear to see these children die on the battlefield!

Next to him, a young woman was holding a child in her arms, her eyes red as she said softly to the child, "Child, take a good look, that is the hero you will learn from in the future.

He told us that no matter who we are, those who care about their country are the bravest people. "

At the front of the team, Lin Qingyue was wearing black velvet armor, looking very heroic, which was very different from his usual gentle and elegant image.

He looked back at the land and people who raised him, his eyes firm and gentle, as if to say: "My fellow villagers, elders, brothers and sisters, for your peace, we will go through fire and water without hesitation."

All the people shouted in unison: "Let us send Master Lin off respectfully. May Master Lin defeat the barbarians and gain fame, and return triumphantly soon."

This scene is frozen in everyone's heart and is about to become an immortal legend.

Just as Lin Qingyue and his group were preparing to wave goodbye to the people at the city gate.

A strangled shout was heard in the distance.

"The Emperor has arrived"

As Jia Deshui's sharp and urgent voice cut through the sky, the four words "The Emperor has arrived" were like thunder, instantly making the originally noisy and solemn South City Gate so quiet that only the sound of horse hooves and the rustling of clothes could be heard.

Lin Qingyue and the people behind him, including those heroic soldiers and expectant civilians, all knelt on the ground at the same time. The dust rose lightly, but it could not hide the awe and expectation in everyone's eyes.

In the morning light, a bright yellow light slowly came from afar. On the dragon chariot, the figure of the little emperor was majestic and solemn, surrounded by civil and military officials in gorgeous court robes, which was magnificent.

Lin Qingyue and his people, along with the common people at the city gate, shouted in unison: "Your Highness, we respectfully welcome His Majesty. Long live the Emperor."

"I pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the emperor."

The little emperor's gaze swept across the kneeling crowd and finally stopped on Lin Qingyue. There was both trust and expectation in his eyes.

He raised his hand slightly, his voice steady and powerful: "Stand up, my dear Lord Lin, this journey is a long and arduous one. I and my people are looking forward to your triumphant return, to enhance our country's prestige, to pacify the southern border, and you must come back unscathed."

Lin Qingyue bowed his head and said respectfully: "I obey your order. I swear I will not stop until all the barbarians are wiped out."

……

The Regent, who was following closely behind the little emperor, walked hand in hand with Lin Xi and approached Lin Qingyue.

Lin Qingyue bowed to Jiang Che and called respectfully: "Your Majesty."

Jiang Che raised his hand and patted Lin Qingyue's shoulder and whispered: "Have a safe journey and come back soon. Don't worry about the affairs in the mansion. This king and Xi'er are watching over it."

"Qingyue thanks His Majesty for your concern. I'll ask Your Majesty to take good care of Xier."

Jiang Che turned his head and glanced at Lin Xi, then he smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I promise that she will be waiting for your return unharmed."

Lin Xi took a step forward, walked in front of her brother, looked at Lin Qingyue and whispered: "Brother, have you brought all the weapons that Xier prepared for you? Yesterday, Xier told Brother Long the method. Brother, you must take good care of those treasures and pay attention to fire and moisture prevention.

If the road is too bumpy, don't rush, and make sure to transport those things safely to Nanjing."

Lin Qingyue lowered her eyes and looked at her sister who was nagging at her. She reached out and took Lin Xi into her arms and patted her on the back: "Brother, I remember what Xi'er said. Xi'er, you must promise me that you must stay in the mansion. I'm not in the capital and can't be with you. Don't run around all day, okay?"

Jiang Che...

Looking at the hands holding Lin Xi, he had the urge to chop them off.

Others may not know, but he knows clearly that his Xier has nothing to do with anyone in the Lin Mansion.

Although to outsiders it was just a farewell between brother and sister, it looked awkward in his eyes.

He recited silently in his heart: Men and women should not touch each other, men and women should not touch each other.

Fortunately, Lin Qingyue just hugged her for a while and then let her go.

Jiang Che:……

This is what it looks like.
