The day of the expedition came unexpectedly.
Before the expedition, it will be hosted by Princess Longxue herself, and will be carried out by two groups of people on the school field outside the imperial city.
The Northern War Army led by Zhan Beiao and Xiao Jinnuo and the Southern Expedition Army led by Long Jiuzun are all ready to go.
Early in the morning, because Lierou was not suitable to enter the school grounds, she had no choice but to send the two of them outside the imperial city.
After Yue Minzhi became the Double Dragon Knight, the status of the Duke's Mansion in the imperial capital also rose.
Ever since they found out that the Duke's Mansion and the General Protector's Mansion had canceled their engagements, there have been some well-to-do and innocent families in the imperial capital who sent marriage letters to the Duke's Mansion, wanting to get married to the Duke's Mansion.
But they were all rejected by Yue Minzhi, who only said that he was too young, and he would think about it after he had achieved some fame in the dragon riding regiment.
However, Yue Jinghua knew that the matter of Long Rui was always a thorn in Yue Min's heart, so she secretly made up her mind that if she had a chance during the southern journey this time, she would definitely solve the misunderstanding between the two of them.
Since the injured Weasel Dragon is still recovering from his injuries, Yue Minzhi's dragon ride to the Vatican this time is a five-color dragon sacrifice to Xuechen.
With colorful dragons, a gold and silver unicorn pulling a carriage, and Yue Jinghua's golden unicorn following along, the guard of honor at the Duke's Mansion has become a unique street scene in the empire.
When the carriages and horses drove outside the imperial city, they saw a crowd of carriages in front of them. Yue Jinghua took a closer look and saw that the emblems of many families in the imperial capital were hung on the carriages and horses.
Among them were princes and generals, viscounts and barons from all walks of life, and some large and small chambers of commerce. Almost all the chariots and horses of some prestigious families in the imperial capital were present.
What's going on here
After Yue Jinghua inquired about it, he realized that these were all relatives of the Southern Expedition Army, and they all came to see him off
A sense of foreboding has already arisen in Yue Jinghua's heart.
Unlike the brothers and sisters of the Yue family who were forced to participate in the Southern Expedition when they were forcibly selected as young men, half of the people here had signed up for the Southern Expedition voluntarily, and the other half were Cheng Ying's admirers.
The Dragon War Empire has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and the dandies in the imperial capital don't even recognize the word war, let alone a battlefield.
According to the stipulations of the Imperial Merit Ceremony, military merit is the primary way to gain rank. Especially those who want to seek fame for their children, they are sure that this time the Southern Expedition can accumulate military merit.
This time the Southern Expedition was said to be to conquer the rebel party, but with Long Jiuzun leading the team and accompanied by Miss Cheng Ying, the best alchemist in the empire, the safety factor is high, the possibility of promotion is high, and there are opportunities to be with the beauty Ms. Cheng Ying went to Vatican Harbor to enjoy the sea breeze. Such a beautiful thing is simply rare.
Therefore, when the news of the Southern Expedition was first announced, in the imperial capital, all the rich second-generation officials and second-generation second-generations of various backgrounds had to step on the threshold of the General Protector's Mansion.
The Nanzheng Army, which originally planned to recruit only 50 people, suddenly expanded its recruitment to 80 people. With the addition of the new dragon knights, it happened to be 110 people.
Among these people, 80% of them have the cultivation base of Earth Profound, and most of their profound beasts are fifth or sixth-order profound beasts, the remaining 20% are Tian Xuan, and the remaining 10% are... Qingzi Zhu and his ilk.
"Why does even a crappy guy like Qing Zizhu get in here, not to mention that he is also here to make military achievements or to pursue Cheng Ying?" Yue Jinghua had the urge to support his forehead, and he really didn't know how Long Jiuzun did it. If it is said that profound practitioners with a cultivation base of Dixuan can barely adapt to long-distance trekking, then even Yuxuan has difficulties, and Qing Zizhu, who is accompanied by three or four guards from time to time, should never appear in the team of the Southern Expedition Army .
"Yanyue Chamber of Commerce is the supplier of grain and grass for the Southern Expedition Army this time. Qing Zizhu is responsible for escorting grain and grass. The Qing family owns several air grain ships with the largest capacity and the fastest flying speed in the empire," Yue Minzhi pointed to the ship parked in the imperial city. Outside, there were several large grain ships that were covered with profound formations, like iron-clad ships.
Although the Yanyue Chamber of Commerce was severely injured under the attack of Yue Jinghua, but with hundreds of years of foundation, the status of the Yanyue Chamber of Commerce as an imperial merchant cannot be easily shaken.
In this way, together with Long Rui and Ji Yun, who were originally dragon knights, and Cheng Ying, the alchemy teacher who accompanied them, all the "official and evil generations" of the imperial capital were assembled.
"Yue Jinghua, you're here," only a delicate voice came from behind her ears.
The dandies in the imperial capital around gave out a burst of praise, Yue Jinghua didn't need to look back, she knew it was Cheng Ying.
Sure enough, there was a slim figure in front of Yue Jinghua.
I saw Cheng Ying wearing the alchemy robe, her long black hair tied into a bun, decorated with only a purple jade hairpin.
Under the bright sunshine, his skin seemed transparent, flawless, and a pair of black jade-like pupils stared at Yue Jinghua without blinking. The people around only felt that he was delicate, gorgeous and not vulgar.
A dead demon man, came to deceive again.
Yue Jinghua couldn't help rubbing the center of her brows.
Cheng Ying, with that kind of appearance and figure, is definitely a Thai ladyboy queen in modern times, but he is a real man in his bones.
While laughing, Yue Jinghua also noticed that Cheng Ying did not come alone, she also brought a mysterious beast with her today.
Cheng Ying's mysterious beast is a cloud piercing ape and cat.
Like Qing Zizhu, Cheng Ying is not good at profound arts. Yue Jinghua had never seen her with profound beasts before, and thought that she was going to Vatican Port by taking an empty ship. Riding a mysterious beast.
The cloud piercing ape cat is also a very rare eight mysterious beast. It looks like a cat, but it has the physique of an ape, Tarzan. This kind of mysterious beast can fly freely in the sky and rely on the clouds. beast.
On the mainland, it has been many years, and no one has captured the Gongpier Yunmao. Unexpectedly, there is one in Cheng Ying's hands.
"This big guy is my partner and guard. When I first learned alchemy, I was weak. When collecting medicine, it was the one who led me to climb the cliffs everywhere," Cheng Ying smiled, very happy. It was introducing Cloud Piercer ape and cat beside him affectionately.
Sensing that Cheng Ying's attitude towards Yue Jinghua was very different, those suitors of Cheng Ying's eyes turned red with anger, staring at Yue Jinghua covetously.
However, with Yue Minzhi always by Yue Jinghua's side, and with Lie Rou's gold and silver unicorns, those dandies dare not act rashly.
After admonishing earnestly, Lie Rou broke up with the two siblings.
"Hua'er, I'll report to the Dragon Riders first, and I'll meet you later," Yue Minzhi got the signal from ahead, and after a few words of advice, he also walked away.
Not long after Yue Minzhi left, several dandies surrounded him and led Cheng Ying aside. Yue Jinghua was bored and wanted to look around to see if he could find Xiao Jinnuo.
Unexpectedly, a eagle-eyed tiger suddenly jumped in front of her, staring at her and the unicorn.
"Let me just say, why did I smell a shabby smell from so far away? It turned out to be the young Lord Yue from the Bankrupt Duke's Mansion." After a burst of laughter, several luxuriously dressed officials who were not much stronger than toads Brothers, come here.
One of them took out a cold shining dagger in his hand, and sneered at Yue Jinghua.
