Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan already knew that Li Zongyu and Wei Zhongxian would send people to investigate him, so he made a false impression to paralyze the other party...
Li Zongyu smiled and said: "Master Wei, the agreement between Ma Xiaoquan and I is that if I win, I will pick two of her bullshit players, and then I will give them to Master Wei for enjoyment. What does Master Wei think?"
"Oh?" Wei Zhongxian said happily when he heard that there was a beauty to enjoy, "This relationship is great, then Shilin, you have to work harder, don't let me down."
Li Zongyu cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wei, I will definitely handle this matter beautifully."
...
Two days later, Zhu Youxiao, led by Wei Zhongxian, arrived at the outskirts of Beijing in an eight-carriage sedan.
The day was sunny and windy, neither hot nor cold. Zhu Youxiao came to the outskirts of the city. Looking at the lush green trees and smelling the fresh air, the gloom in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
Wei Zhongxian was very wise. He coaxed the emperor to such a high level that he did not say anything, and brought the song and dance troupe on his own initiative. Before the emperor could sit down, the singers and dancers from the song and dance troupe started dancing gracefully.
Li Zongyu also followed Wei Zhongxian's instructions and prepared a reception venue early. Although the comprehensive facilities were not as good as those in the city, it was still a first-class reception.
Seeing Zhu Youxiao coming in a sedan, Li Zongyu felt as if he was seeing his own grandfather. He knelt on the ground early, waiting for Zhu Youxiao's arrival.
When a group of people arrived at the competition venue, Zhu Youxiao opened the sedan curtain and saw Li Zongyu kneeling respectfully. Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand to stop the sedan. The palace bearers immediately stopped the sedan steadily and gently placed it on the ground.
Zhu Youxiao got down from the sedan chair and saw Li Zongyu still kneeling up, so he asked, "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Li Zongyu said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, Li Zongyu, a humble minister, is responsible for the capital."
"Oh, the one in charge of Gyeonggi Province, um, his name is Li Zongyu, okay, I'll remember it, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wei Zhongxian stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Ma Xiaoquan and his teammate are on the other side. I think you don't want to go and see them?"
Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes at Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian immediately changed his mind: "Actually, it would be a good thing for the emperor to take a look. It can boost the morale of Ma Xiaoquan and the others."
Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes at Wei Zhongxian again, and Wei Zhongxian changed his mind again: "It's okay not to boost morale. In fact, Ma Xiaoquan and all those people are just him, Ma Xiaoquan, and the rest are all women..."
Zhu Youxiao finally stopped rolling his eyes. He said with a sigh: "In that case, let's call Ma Aiqing over. I want to see him and his female team members, okay."
...
Just as he was talking, Ma Xiaoquan led all the team members to report in unison.
Ma Xiao was wearing a white robe, Li Qinghan was wearing a lavender cloak, and the rest of the team members were wearing smart light cyan competition uniforms.
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and said respectfully: "I would like to express my greetings to the emperor. My emperor will sleep forever and sleep forever!"
Wei Zhongxian frowned and interrupted: "Ma Xiaoquan, what are you talking about? When did the emperor fall asleep? Your Majesty, Ma Xiaoquan is disrespectful to you. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes at Wei Zhongxian for the third time and said, "Okay, okay, I'm in a good mood today, so don't make trouble!"
Zhu Youxiao asked Ma Xiaoquan to lie flat. Ma Xiaoquan stood up and gave Wei Zhongxian a provocative look. Wei Zhongxian saw that he could not say anything and did not dare to say anything, so he had to endure it for now.
Zhu Youxiao stood up and looked at the female team members behind Ma Xiao, and praised: "Well, they all look pretty. I wonder if they are all married?"
Ma Xiaoquan replied: "Replying to the emperor, we are all married and have basically given birth..."
"Oh" Zhu Youxiao said, "Okay then, let's start the competition."
Just as Ma Xiaoquan was about to say yes, Wei Zhongxian said again: "Your Majesty, it's rare for you to come to the outskirts of the city. It just so happens that General Li has an opening drill. I kindly ask Your Majesty to watch the opening drill and help the fun."
"Oh? There's also the opening drill, um, okay, then let me have a look at it first!"
"yes!"
Wei Zhongxian raised his eyebrows at Ma Xiaoquan proudly, and then said to Li Zongyu: "General Li, your opening drill is about to start now!"
Li Zongyu had already organized his queue and was just waiting for this sentence.
"According to the order!" Li Zongyu raised his hands and shouted behind him, "Line up!"
As soon as the order was given, the cannons roared and the drums shook the heaven and the earth. The soldiers lined up in front. Li Zongyu gave a loud shout and exerted all his strength to carry a big flag with the word "Ming". The soldiers lined up immediately shouted
He drew out the sword from his waist, straightened the spear in his hand, and waited for Li Zongyu's order.
"Get up!" Li Zongyu gave another order, and a majestic cavalry suddenly jumped out of the horse and announced the "Eight-door Golden Lock Formation" in a loud voice. As soon as he finished speaking, the queue of soldiers moved around and changed in an orderly manner.
, then, the drums suddenly sounded, followed by the sound of gold, the soldiers retreated in unison, and then changed into formation again...the discipline was strict, and the armor was bright.
Zhu Youxiao laughed so happily that he jumped on the chair and stood high to look far away.
Although this move was very indecent, Zhu Youxiao was the emperor and no one dared to speak against him.
At this time, Li Zongyu shouted again and thrust the "Ming" flag in his hand into the ground. Then he blew a whistle and a horse-drawing officer led a white horse in front of him.
Li Zongyu got on his horse and straddled the horse's back.
"Change into a long snake formation!" Li Zongyu waved his big hand and ordered.
After the order was given, the soldiers immediately lined up in a row, hitting their tails to respond, hitting their tails to respond, and responding to their tails. Li Zongyu rode a white horse through the formation, sometimes stopping to give orders, and sometimes moving forward to line up the troops.
In the stands, Zhu Youxiao watched intently. At this moment, Li Zongyu suddenly ordered again: "Plum Blossom Formation!"
Zhu Youxiao laughed, clapped his hands and nodded repeatedly.
Later, Li Zongyu led the soldiers to practice other formations, which made Zhu Youxiao look very happy.
Wei Zhongxian was very happy. He exchanged glances with Li Zongyu, and the latter jumped off his horse, knelt in front of Zhu Youxiao, and said respectfully: "It is my duty as a minister of the Ming Dynasty to share the emperor's worries and solve his problems!
"
Zhu Youxiao was very happy, nodded and said: "Well said, Li Aiqing's words really touched my heart. Well, I can't treat you badly. From now on, Li Aiqing will be promoted to the first rank."
Li Zongyu's jaw almost dropped with joy. He pinched his thigh hard to tell himself that he was not dreaming, and kowtowed quickly to thank him.
