Chapter 477: 2 Cavalry in Position
"Your Highness will surely conquer the Northern Imperial City and return victorious. Liang Fang is your Highness's secret guard. Once you are one, you will be one for life."
If His Highness were to die in Huangdu, Liang Fang would definitely protect the Queen and avenge His Highness until his death.
The last part of the sentence was unlucky, so Liang Fang did not say it out loud. He hoped that His Highness would return victorious soon. His selfish desire was not as important as the people of Da Xia.
Liang Chongyue didn't think she would lose, but some things still needed to be prepared early. She kept them in mind, and they would definitely do their best to repay her.
Liang Chongyue waved her hand to let Liang Fang leave. The huge puppy kept trying to shrink its body behind the screen to peek at her. Liang Chongyue bought a bunch of snacks that the system liked to eat in the mall, most of which could not be reproduced in this era.
Seeing that the host saw it, the system rushed out from behind the screen, and its huge body landed on the white jade ground with a loud noise. Liang Chongyue used to like quietness and did not allow it to run and jump on the second floor of Changshengtian like this, but he did not say anything to it today.
Rubbing the system's huge dog head, Liang Chongyue looked straight ahead, his mind full of thoughts, thinking over all the details again.
"Host, you must be extremely careful on this expedition. I bought you a warm inner layer. You must put it on tomorrow morning, okay? And oh..."
The system rested its head in Liang Chongyue's arms and chattered for a long time, until Liang Chongyue's legs were numb, and then it pushed it away and stood up:
"Come with me to the kitchen. I'll have them prepare a feast for dozens of tables for the whole family to celebrate with. This will be my farewell."
Liang Chongyue stood up, still in his official uniform, and walked downstairs. The system hurriedly stood up and chased after him, continuing to mutter to the host what it had not finished saying just now.
The chef worked very quickly. When it was time for dinner, Liang Chongyue just walked out of the gate of Changshengtian and saw red lanterns hanging everywhere in the mansion. It was so festive that if you didn't know her, you would think she was getting married today.
Ping An and Yun Ling, who were waiting outside the door, saw her come out and immediately went to greet her:
"Your Highness, the banquet is ready. Our mansion is vast, with many secret guards and servants, and the kitchen staff is overwhelmed. Half of the banquet was ordered from Wangjiang Tower and sent here."
Wangjiang Tower is his uncle's business, so Liang Chongyue felt relieved. Ping'an and Yunling tied red silk around their waists, which looked even more festive than the red lanterns.
"This servant wishes Her Highness the Princess a great victory over the northern border and a speedy return."
The two knelt in front of Liang Chongyue and shouted loudly. Then several loud voices came from behind them:
"This subordinate/slave/servant wishes Her Highness the Princess to conquer the northern border and return triumphantly soon."
The voices were in unison, loud and powerful. Liang Chongyue had amazing eyesight and had already spotted the people standing everywhere. Their eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky tonight, and they were all looking at her at the same time. Liang Chongyue was wearing a white fox cloak today. Standing under the moonlight, every tip of her hair was glowing, three times brighter than the bright moon in the sky.
"Thanks to your kind words, I hope you will all receive rewards when this princess returns triumphantly."
The rewards Liang Chongyue mentioned were all real money. She even used her internal energy to transmit her voice far away, ensuring that people could hear it no matter how far away they were.
The atmosphere in the princess's mansion was high and joyful. Amidst the cheers, Liang Chongyue took Ping'an and Yunling to the dining room.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for others. The sounds coming from the princess's mansion are overwhelming. Not all the royal relatives living on the official road of Qu'an can hear them, but the households closest to the princess's mansion can definitely hear them clearly.
When the news of what happened at the morning court this morning spread, the capital was in chaos. Although the people were grateful for the princess's dedication over the years, war was no joke, and victory or defeat directly affected the people's future lives.
There are people saying all kinds of things in the capital now, but it is obvious that what these insignificant people say cannot change His Majesty's decision, nor can it change the fact that Her Royal Highness the Princess will lead the troops to war tomorrow.
Everyone tossed and turned that night, but Liang Chongyue slept soundly. She firmly believed that she would never lose. She had confidence in the soldiers of Da Xia and in herself.
The next morning, a biting cold wind swept across the earth like a knife. It was still dark, but a hint of pale sky appeared in the east, dyeing the whole world a cold hue.
Liang Chongyue was wearing a thick red armor, like the red sun about to rise in the east. The patterns on the armor still emitted a majestic luster in the weak light, and the black wolf hair at the collar was slightly wet by the hot air he exhaled.
Liang Chongyue rode on a tall black warhorse, his posture upright, like a pine tree standing proudly in the snow.
Behind her was an army of 100,000 soldiers who had already been organized in an orderly manner. These 100,000 soldiers accompanied her all the way north. The rest of the troops had already set out from various states and were on their way to the north.
"Your Highness, we can set off now."
Grandfather only needed to send her out of the city today, but he still put on the armor that had accompanied him for many years. The traces of the years were obvious on the armor, and a thin layer of frost had condensed on it.
Listening to the flags fluttering in the cold wind, the totems on the flags seemed to be whistling and galloping in the wind.
Liang Chongyue raised his whip, and the crisp sound cut through the quiet morning:
"set off!"
The sound was driven by internal force, firm and powerful, like a huge bell, echoing in the cold air. The army moved at the sound, the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps intertwined together, and they marched towards the city gate in a mighty manner.
Someone in the crowd standing on both sides of the road suddenly raised his arms and shouted:
"The princess will win!"
The sound coming from the crowd was like a thunderclap that suddenly exploded, instantly igniting the originally quiet and almost oppressive atmosphere. In an instant, the shouts of "Princess will win!" became louder and louder, one after another, like a surging wave, rolling in.
When Liang Chongyue heard the first voice, she felt it sounded familiar. She looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Li Yu'an.
I haven't seen him for a long time. He looks pretty good. It seems he is doing well in Yaowang Valley.
Meeting his fiery and determined gaze, Liang Chongyue saw that his lips moved slightly, saying: "The princess will win."
It was the first time that Liang Chongyue saw Li Yu'an like this. The cold wind blew his clothes and hairband, but he seemed not to notice and just stared at her closely. Liang Chongyue couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart. After nodding slightly at Li Yu'an, she turned her head resolutely and walked towards the city gate with a firm gaze.
When Liang Chongyue arrived at the city gate, the heavy gate opened with a dull sound, like the awakening of a sleeping giant beast.
Outside the city gate, two hundred thousand cavalrymen were lined up in an orderly formation like a steel torrent. The morning light shone down, reflecting the cold light on their armor. Liang Chongyue sat on a tall warhorse, unable to see the end of this cold galaxy.
The warhorses neighed and breathed mist. An Yi, who was at the front, slowly rode forward to Liang Chongyue and handed the token to His Highness.
"Your Majesty has decreed that these 200,000 cavalrymen be incorporated into the Northern Expedition Army and will accompany the Grand Marshal out of the Desolate Capital."
