Liushan Station in Zhenxi Pass has now been converted into a military station, where part of the troops of the 10th Guards of the Bingma Division are stationed.
At this moment, the soldiers, led by their officers, marched in neat steps.
Their destination was the canteen. It was already noon and it was time to eat.
"Settled...decided!"
After two snaps, the team stopped outside a house. Through the fence, they could already see the steaming steamed buns inside.
"Long live His Highness King Yong!"
Following the officer's loud roar, all the soldiers shouted: "Long live His Highness King Yong!"
This is a fixed ritual before eating, so that all soldiers can always remember whose meal they are eating.
"Receive the meals one by one, and be smooth with your movements. The other hundreds of households are coming soon!" the leader of the hundred households ordered.
We queued up to receive our meals. Each person could receive three steamed buns, plus a pickle and soup with small pieces of meat in it.
After receiving the food, some soldiers sighed with emotion when encountering the steaming meal: "What a life like a fairy!"
The soldiers of the 10th Guard were adapted from Dahun, the commander-in-chief of the Guan Dynasty. They suffered from hunger in Beidi County before, but now they are definitely living a life of gods.
"What day is today?"
"It seems to be seventeen..."
"Seventeen? Tomorrow is the imperial meeting?"
"It seems like it's tomorrow!"
"Lord Commander, I must have arrived at Yuanyang!"
"I've been there for three days, I'm sure I've arrived!"
Immediately afterwards, someone else said: "Your Majesty stayed at the funeral for seven days, how pure and filial he is!"
"Those bastards in the capital actually dare to murder the emperor..."
"Huh, to use the words of their scholars, these people just fail more than succeed..."
This statement immediately attracted everyone's approval, and someone immediately answered: "That's right... If the prince was allowed to go back and inherit the throne according to the late emperor's wishes, then this troubled world would still exist!"
Zhao Yanxun's succession to the throne can bring peace to the troubled times, of which the soldiers have no doubt.
Almost all the soldiers have put all the responsibility for causing this terrible apocalypse on the "traitors" like Beijing.
Everyone's dissatisfaction was turned into hatred, which merged with Zhao Yanxun's "hate".
In addition to obeying the orders of King Zhao Yanxun, in terms of their subjective wishes, they also had the idea of revenge against the traitors in the capital.
"Hmph... When the prince gives the order, we will rush directly into the pass and make those people pay the price!"
"It's those people from the Guards Department who have already gone to kill the monsters in the pass!"
Someone immediately answered: "What they mean is that they want to sweep away the monsters in the pass first and leave the rest to us!"
Some people couldn't help but complain: "These guys... look down on people too much!"
But these words did not resonate. I only heard someone say: "They have done the hard work, so let's not say such heartless things!"
At this moment, the hundreds of households leading the team also took food and walked among the subordinates.
Hearing the gibbering of his subordinates, these hundred households said, "I told you that you talk so much that you can't even eat anything to stop your mouths?"
"Sir... aren't we eating?"
Baihu then said: "It's just these two days for Ansheng. We will enter the customs in a few days. Let's take advantage of these two days to practice military formations, so as not to lose our lives then!"
A general commander on the side said: "Sir, during the two months we were in Beidi County, we killed many monsters, so don't worry!"
Baihu said: "It's always good to be careful. Don't you want to go back alive to see your mother?"
When it comes to this, no one will argue anymore. Who doesn’t want to go back alive to see his family?
At this time, this Baihu glanced towards the northwest, which was the direction where Yuanyang was.
…………
Tomorrow is the imperial meeting, and officials from all over the country have arrived in Yuanyang.
There are many empty houses in Yuanyang North City, and all the officials are accommodated here.
As night fell, after dinner, the officials were chatting along the streets and walking to eat.
Now that we are at the forefront of the times, these officials are all full of fighting spirit and want to take advantage of this opportunity to make contributions.
And in this case, the people who discussed it the loudest were the military attachés under the command of the palace.
"Now that the royal palace has strong soldiers and strong horses, and the soldiers left behind in the capital are weak, this time the troops are raised... I'm afraid it won't be a difficult battle!"
The person who said this was Li Xun, the commander of the 14th Guards of the Military and Horse Division. This man was originally the commander of the capital of Gyeonggi County and knew the situation in the capital very well.
Several commanders of the Forbidden Army also had a deep understanding of this situation.
The troops that the imperial court could use, apart from the troops left behind by the imperial army, were the troops drawn from several capitals in the south. Their combat effectiveness was not really very strong.
Even if they can defend and even fight back against zombies, seeing that they haven't expanded their results for a long time, you know where their upper limit is.
Of course, the imperial army's combat effectiveness was inferior compared to that of Yong's army.
Objectively speaking, after two years of fighting with zombies, the combat effectiveness of the imperial army has been greatly improved, but it is not as fast as that of Yong's army.
Just listen to Wu Jianqing say: "Yeah... maybe we can go home during the Chinese New Year this year!"
Song Guoquan, the commander of the 12th Guards, said: "Everyone... If we really want to raise troops and march eastward, we'd better change our name. Let the people in the capital know about it, which may be detrimental to our family!"
Everyone nodded, especially those from the Forbidden Army, whose families were all in the capital.
I heard Cai Yongkun, the commander of the 15th Guards, say: "I have to report this to the prince!"
"Um!"
Everyone nodded.
At this moment, a whistling sound came from the eastern sky. The sound was loud and deep, causing everyone to look up.
Looking at this, everyone was stunned in place.
I saw a golden dragon circling and roaring out of the pitch-black sky, with endless divine light exuding around it.
"This is... this is a dragon!" someone exclaimed.
In fact, the entire people in Yuanyang City were attracted by this golden dragon at this moment.
Countless people and soldiers, including those knowledgeable officials, could not help but worship the golden dragon in the sky.
"This is a dragon... a dragon!"
"God has appeared, this is a good sign!"
As the golden dragon approached from the east, everyone could see it more clearly and feel the majesty of the dragon, which led everyone to worship devoutly.
"This dragon...is here for the prince!"
When the golden dragon hovered over the palace, everyone came to this conclusion. This was a very logical thing.
King Yong adheres to the destiny of heaven, and now the golden dragon has come. Isn't this the will of heaven?
"Let's go to the palace to see you!"
The officials suddenly couldn't sit still any longer, so they rushed towards the palace. They were not too far away.
But when they arrived, they found that they were too late. There were already a large number of people kneeling outside the palace, and they were all kowtowing in the direction of the palace.
Fortunately, officials can enter the palace.
When they passed through the palace gates one after another and finally arrived at the square in front of Jinshen Palace, they saw Zhao Yanxun standing on Danbi.
Everyone stopped and looked up at the sky. At this moment, the roar of the dragon became more and more rapid, and the golden dragon circled faster and faster.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the golden dragon rushed straight down from the sky and entered from the top of Zhao Yanxun's head.
Zhao Yanxun opened his arms and welcomed the golden dragon into his body. For a moment, the golden light blazed brightly, and the dragon's roar echoed through the sky.
Seeing this scene, all the officials knelt down one after another and paid homage to Zhao Yanxun who was bathed in golden light from a high place: "Long live your highness, long live long live..."
Today, they finally saw what it means to be a true dragon emperor.
This is the result approved by God. If this person is not an emperor, who in the world is qualified to be an emperor?
