Chapter 1155 The gap between the monarch and his subjects
The march that followed was almost an arduous one.
The road to the north is already narrow and difficult to navigate, and now with the snow falling all over the sky, it is even more difficult to walk.
However, we cannot stop moving forward even if it is difficult.
The Spring Festival is approaching, you can’t bid farewell to the old and welcome the new in this wilderness, right?
Qi Yu thought that instead of camping in the wild, it would be better to hurry up and go to Qi Jing's place to celebrate the New Year. And they could just take this opportunity to meet and talk and reminisce over wine.
After this was settled, the group stepped up their schedule.
As for the investigation carried out by the scouts, the exciting and excellent news did not come as expected. Instead, they were still looking for a needle in a haystack, and there was no news.
well……
Do your best and obey destiny!
Qi Yu didn't worry too much about finding Yin Jun and Hong Tao. Everything depended on God's will.
Although the march in the snow was slow, it was difficult to stay steady. It only took about ten days for the group to arrive near the area where the Mobei Army was stationed.
Qi Jing, who had received the information in advance, immediately led a large honor guard to greet the holy driver twenty miles away.
This is not an exaggeration, but it is indeed impressive.
Not to mention anything else, there are five thousand people in Mobei's "Army Guard of Honor" alone, and there are more than half of the elite heavy cavalry.
This formation is more than enough to fight a local war.
Soon, the news reached Li Hongyu's ears.
"Ah...this..."
"Qi Jing came out with a heavy army. What does this mean?"
After being shocked to learn this, Li Hongyu was on pins and needles and extremely nervous.
He suddenly had a feeling that this was Qi Jing's deliberate move. As for his purpose, there was most likely something wrong with it.
Both Android and Apple are available.]
Could it be that he wanted to 'bring' the emperor to order the princes?
No, absolutely not.
With Qi Aiqing holding the line here, how could he come here randomly?
However, nothing is absolute.
If that guy is so bold, wouldn't he just fall into a trap?
The stimulated emperor was like a frightened bird. He could neither stand nor sit. He even felt he had no appetite for eating.
But his reactions fell into Qi Yu's eyes without any hesitation.
However, he saw it in his eyes but said nothing in his mouth.
He felt that even if there were some discord between the monarch and his ministers, under formal circumstances, each other should still take the overall situation into consideration.
But who would have thought that Brother Qi would stage such a big battle? No need to guess, he must have other intentions.
After ruling out various possibilities, Qi Yu probably thought that he wanted to give Jin Shang a show of strength in order to repay the grievances and resentments he felt when he was targeted before.
Besides, there should be nothing else.
You must know that Qi Jing adheres to the traditional concept of serving the country with loyalty and loyalty. Even if you instigate it to the extreme, it is impossible for him to do anything disobedient.
Qi Dalang is still very aware of his character.
Since it is just a brush on the golden surface, there is nothing to worry about.
After laughing, Qi Yu chose to sit back and watch.
Is this... no matter whether you ask or not?
Roughly the same.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to see what Qi Jing's mentality was like. In addition, what Li Hongyu was thinking.
Only by understanding their respective thoughts can you prescribe the right medicine and make appropriate arrangements.
Therefore, Qi Yu just watched silently.
…
Regardless of whether Li Hongyu wants it or not, whether Gao is happy or not, this matter is already a done deal and cannot be changed.
In order to save face, he had no choice but to adopt the emperor's unique "patrolling" attitude and openly stand from behind the scenes to the stage.
In the solemn atmosphere of a golden horse, Li Hongyu slowly walked out on a black horse.
On the other side facing him, Qi Jing also came on horseback wearing battle armor.
As for Qi Dalang, who had nothing to do with him, he followed Jinshang in a relatively low-key manner.
"See you, Your Majesty! Please forgive me for not being able to salute because I am wearing armor. I hope Your Majesty will not blame you."
"Uh... Qi Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, there's no need to be polite!"
On the horse, Qi Jing just clasped his fists slightly, even if he was formally meeting the driver. He neither dismounted nor knelt down, and there was no sign of respect at all.
Looking at Li Hongyu again, he didn't show much displeasure except for an awkward smile.
The scene in front of me was not like the first meeting between the king and his ministers, but more like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were angry with each other, wanting to be angry but unwilling to break up.
Let's talk about Qi Jing. After saluting, he hugged his fists at Qi Dalang who was watching and said loudly: "Brother Shaocheng, are you okay?"
Meeting old friends again, Qi Yu originally wanted to give a serious answer.
However, seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, he changed to a joking tone.
"Thanks to Brother Qi, everything is going well. At present, my daily diet is one meter per day and my meat is half a catty, which is no less than that of a young man in his twenties. It really cannot be better."
"Haha, I didn't expect that Brother Shaocheng is still so witty after not seeing each other for a long time..."
After such a commotion, everyone had a bit of smile on their faces.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Boxuan and Wu Wanrong also came out to meet the driver and salute him.
After a while, the ceremony was over.
The next step is to welcome the Holy Emperor and escort him back to the camp.
In this section, Qi Jing seemed to intentionally want to get closer to Qi Yu and chat with him about their current situation.
However, Qi Dalang cleverly avoided it.
Um?
Why is this?
Soon, Qi Jing understood his intention.
Judging from his posture, it seems that he wants to resolve the conflict between the monarch and his subjects, and to resolve the conflict, he must adopt a fair and just attitude.
If he gets too close to himself, the emperor will feel unjustifiable.
Alas, forget it.
Since you, Qi Shaocheng, want to be a peacemaker, I will give you a suitable opportunity.
In this way, Qi Jing abandoned Qi Yu and turned to the emperor.
"Ah, the scenery in Mobei is so spectacular!" Li Hongyu seemed to be amazed, but his eyes cautiously glanced at General Qi.
The latter smiled faintly and said casually: "Your Majesty has been lying in the middle palace all year round. He rarely has the opportunity to give me advice on the country of Dafeng. Now that he has given you golden words, it is really an honor for the land of Mobei."
What?
You say this land is the country of Dafeng?
Listen to the words, listen to the sound, the implication of these words is that this place is not the enfeoffed territory of his Qi family, but a part of the country.
In other words, he, Qi Jing, had no intention of becoming king himself and separatist power.
In his heart, Dafeng is still the master of the world.
One can imagine how happy Li Hongyu would be after hearing this.
However, before he could purse his lips, Qi Jing said again: "Your Majesty, this is a territory that I fought for with all my blood. Why haven't you given me a corresponding reward until now?"
