National Day is the day of celebration of the State of Zhao, and it is also the most grand festival in the empire!
As an imperial princess, Zhao Feiyan has the right to enter and leave the palace freely. Imperial law grants this privilege to the royal family, which is difficult to change in any special period. Therefore, even when Zhao's regime changes, Zhao Feiyan can enter the palace.
After two days of rest in the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Feiyan had already made a decision to go to the palace to understand the current situation. Only if he knew Zhao She's motives, maybe he would be prepared in the future. Therefore, Zhao Feiyan was well prepared from the mansion, and Li Yue and
Xiang Tianci and others rushed to the imperial capital.
After coming out of the mansion, Zhao Feiyan only brought Xiang Tianci and Li Yue. After all, ordinary soldiers were not allowed to enter the imperial palace, but his personal entourage was not subject to this restriction. Any royal family has their own personal belongings.
There are three attendants, and now Zhao Feiyan only has two people, so there should be no problem.
Zhao Feiyan's residence was not far from the imperial capital, and the three of them walked toward the imperial city.
A group of three people walked on the streets of the imperial capital, and from time to time they would see many guard teams going back and forth in the city. These well-trained guard teams made the three of them feel wary.
Looking at the guards in the city, Xiang Tianci still felt a bad feeling in his heart.
He knew the current situation in the Zhao Kingdom, and he had met Zhao She once. He was a ruthless man and a traitor in troubled times. Moreover, Zhao She was the eldest prince of the Zhao Kingdom, and his influence was naturally considerable in the imperial capital.
These guards are well-organized and well-trained. Just looking at the marching pace, it can be seen that these guards are definitely wartime troops and are first-class elite soldiers.
The guards are all top-notch elite soldiers. What does this mean?
Along the way, the three of them also saw a lot of undisciplined troops. The pace of these soldiers patrolling the city looked very scattered. Their faces were full of exhaustion, giving people a look of hard work. Their backs and legs ached, and they felt tired from time to time.
The ground screamed in pain, which made the three people frown slightly.
There is a huge contrast between this army and the guard army!
Zhao is considered a powerful empire in the east. The armies in the empire are all well-trained, and a large amount of military expenditures are invested in training every year. Therefore, even the worst army definitely has a very powerful fighting capacity, but right now these
The old, weak and disabled soldiers are simply...
Looking at these old and weak soldiers, Zhao Feiyan shook his head with a trace of bitterness on his face.
Li Yue was often responsible for the training of the guards in the Zhao Mansion. Looking at these remnants, he couldn't help but said to Zhao Feiyan and Xiang Tianci, "These guards seem rarely tired, but they are not the old and weak remnants! Although the soldiers of these guards
They look exhausted, but you can still see a bit of strength in their steps. I feel that this army should be the empire's top-notch army!"
Xiang Tianci smiled, but did not agree with Li Yue's statement, "Zhao is also one of the great empires in the East, and its strength is naturally very powerful. However, the empire has a huge territory, and it is one of the three great empires alongside Yan and Chu in the East.
As a result, no major war broke out for a while. In this case... it is not impossible that there are some remnant soldiers in the empire. Moreover, these guards are in the imperial capital, and the imperial capital is a peaceful place. The army has not practiced for a long time.
It’s normal to have these remnants!”
Having said this, Xiang Tianci confirmed his inner thoughts as he looked at the increasingly chaotic steps of those soldiers.
As for the condition of these soldiers and their combat effectiveness, it doesn't matter much to me. After all, this is the Kingdom of Zhao, and these soldiers are also from the Kingdom of Zhao. There is no need for me to pay attention to these soldiers of the empire.
Li Yue next to him had a sly smile on his face. As the general manager of the Zhao Mansion, he was naturally often involved in the training of his family soldiers. He also had a very clear view of what an army was like.
Besides, Li Yue was still a strong martial artist, so when he saw these soldiers, he felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
When the two people were talking about these remnants, they suddenly saw these old and weak remnants forming an army and retreating!
Xiang Tianci's expression suddenly changed...
These old and weak remnant soldiers gathered together, and the infantry under the horses gathered very quickly. The cavalry on the horses also stood in a regular line, and the queue was busy but not chaotic. After the cavalry stood in a line, there was no horse neighing, and after the infantry lined up, they also
Looking forward, his face showed an awe-inspiring fighting spirit.
"What's going on? The current style of the army is definitely that of an imperial first-class soldier!" Xiang Tianci sighed inwardly when he saw this scene!
These assembled soldiers no longer had the messy feeling they had before. Each man's armor exuded silver light, and under his hand was a sharp long sword. The cloak behind the armor made a rustling sound.
Then, a deep voice was heard, "Everyone, I have been waiting for the inspection for thirteen days, and the superiors finally let us rest. Everyone, please seize the opportunity and have a good rest. We can't say tomorrow, we will continue the inspection."
It’s another half month for the city!”
After giving the instructions, the man jumped off his horse and immediately walked towards an inn.
The soldiers behind him also dispersed, muttering incessantly.
"Hey! We are soldiers of the Empire's main battle legion, and they actually let us do things like patrolling the city, and we did it for more than ten days in a row, damn it!"
"Yes! The regular army of the empire was laid off from patrolling the city, and the guards of the royal family actually served as the main battle legion. What kind of world is this!"
"Okay, stop talking! Let's hurry up, hey, those beautiful prostitutes are still waiting for us!"
After a while, the soldiers dispersed and swarmed towards where they wanted to go.
At this time, Zhao Feiyan walked towards the general, smiled and said, "Hello, you must be an officer of the guard army, right?"
The officer heard Zhao Feiyan's voice and said politely, "I am Liu Dehai, an officer of the Third Guard Army. I wonder who you are...?"
"Haha, I am Zhao Feiyan!"
When General Liu Dehai heard this, he quickly bowed respectfully and said, "This is Your Excellency the Princess. Liu Dehai, an officer of the Third Guard Army, is here to meet Your Excellency the Princess!"
Zhao Feiyan walked over, thought for a moment, and asked, "General Liu Dehai, I heard your soldiers say that you were once soldiers of the main battle legion, but why are you now the guards of the imperial city?"
Liu Dehai's face became solemn, he sighed and said, "Your Excellency, to tell you the truth, I used to be the leader of the Empire's main battle legion, but I was ordered by the eldest prince to return to the Imperial Capital for inspection a few days ago. This time I was
Under the orders of the military, he was responsible for the inspection of the North Gate and became the commander of the Third Guard Army!
