Standing on the city wall of the Gate of Heaven, Xiao Ruxun looked at the clean and tidy capital in front of him and sighed with emotion.
He was the master of this place. The city wall under his feet and the land it was built on, everything belonged to the Daqin Empire, belonged to him.
Houses, small buildings, and the Daqin Black Dragon Flag that could be seen all over the capital.
All of these were heralding the beginning of a new era.
And as the most solid support of all of this, the Daqin army was about to shine.
Xiao Ruxun looked at the retired emperor who was lost in thought in the distance. After a while, he stretched out his left hand to hold Cai Yun's hand and his right hand to hold Zhen Bang's hand.
The important officials of the Daqin Empire and the monarchs of the vassal states stood on both sides of Xiao Ruxun. Leaning against the city wall, they looked at the magnificent scene below and admired the rare beauty of the capital of the Daqin Empire. They all exclaimed in admiration from the bottom of their hearts.
Such a magnificent city and such an amazing scene could only be achieved by the most powerful empire in the world. Only the most powerful emperor could have it.
But who wouldn't want to have such a scene?
Buyan Khan stood on the city wall and pressed his hands on the bricks of the city wall. The more he looked at the magnificent scene, the harder he pressed his hands. The harder he pressed, the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
He remembered that hundreds of years ago, this scene also belonged to his ancestors. But with the passage of time, everything was different. The Great Khan of the Mongolian Empire, who once had an incomparably vast land, now had to admit defeat to the emperor of his former enemy and ask for his help.
Standing with a group of people whose status was lower than his, and showing respect to the emperor of the Daqin Empire, he had a smile on his face, but in his heart, he felt extremely humiliated.
This feeling of humiliation was really, really annoying. He really didn't want to continue feeling it.
If he was the master of this world, if this place belonged to him, to him, how good would that be?
Who would dare to bare their teeth at him?
The veins on the back of his hand were bulging, and he did not look good at all.
Weng Guodai, who was not far from him, did not have such thoughts. He just looked at the magnificent mountains and rivers of Daqin and felt very yearning. He hoped that one day, he could also enjoy such beautiful scenery.
As for how to do it, he hadn't thought about it yet, because before he could think about it, he had to defeat Bu Yan. Before that, everything else was in vain.
Li Zhi was simply shocked. Just like the rulers of many small vassal states, they thought that their capital was the most beautiful city. But now, they finally understood what was called affluence and civilization.
Compared to the capital of Daqin, the city he lived in couldn't be considered a city at all. It was just a small dirt town.
They called themselves monarchs, and the bolder ones even called themselves emperors in private. But compared to the most authentic emperor in the world, who was the real emperor?
Wasn't there no doubt about it?
Zheng Zhu and Ruan Zhu of Annan, who were hostile to each other, looked at this magnificent scene and were lost in thought for a moment. They suddenly felt that the place where they lived was too far away from here, too far away from the layout of Daqin.
When would they be able to live in such a city and enjoy such beautiful things like the emperor of Daqin?
Compared to Daqin, they were too far behind.
They experienced the greatness of Daqin and the wealth of Daqin. Of course, there were some things they did not experience.
If they experienced it, they would probably understand what was called fear.
And this was also Xiao Ruxun's biggest goal.
He looked in that direction, where his most loyal fans were about to appear.
Everyone had heard that they climbed the city wall to watch a ceremony called a military parade. The literal meaning was easy to understand. It was to watch the army, let the most elite and good at fighting troops line up, and then the emperor would review the troops. This was not a strange thing.
But everyone was standing on the city wall. In other words, the army would come directly?
They did not understand.
But very soon, they understood.
They understood why they were standing here, and why the emperor would bring them here.
So the street in front of the Gate of Heaven was used like this?
Han Degong climbed the city wall from below, knelt on one knee in front of Xiao Ruxun, and cupped his fists.
"Your Majesty, the military parade is ready! Your Majesty, please instruct us on the next step! "
Xiao Ruxun looked serious.
"Let's begin!"
"Yes!"
Han Degong stood up, walked to the side, and pulled out the sword at his waist, raising it high.
"Your Majesty has ordered! The military parade! Begin! "
The war drums on both sides of the city wall rumbled, and a desolate and distant horn sounded. The atmosphere became solemn.
The people on top of the gate tower quietened down. There were no more people whispering to each other. Everyone followed Xiao Ruxun's gaze and looked towards the bottom left corner of their seats.
It was the place where a large number of black flags could be vaguely seen.
When the team of black horses wearing black armor, black robes, and holding a black flag appeared, many people did not know what was going on. The horses marched in a neat formation, lined up, and stepped onto Chang 'an Street from the left side of the street in an orderly manner.
Black horses, black flags, black armor, black robes.
The horn stopped, and the sound of the drums suddenly changed, becoming hurried and impassioned. The soldiers below the city wall shouted in unison, accompanying the advance of the black armoured cavalry.
1,500 cavalrymen, lined up in five columns, slowly walked from the east side of the Chang 'an Street under the lead of General Jiang Yue.
Their expressions were solemn, and they did not look like they were on a parade. Instead, they looked like soldiers about to set off for the battlefield.
The killing intent coming from the battlefield, the meticulously trained organization, and the orderly formation all caused the inexperienced people on the city wall to be dumbfounded. They did not even know what to say, nor did they know what to do.
They had never seen such an orderly formation, such orderly attire, and such orderly gait. Were they really cavalrymen? How much training did they need to achieve this?
No one knew.
They only knew that this was an elite troop, an unshakable elite troop.
Weng Guodai could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Bu Yan grabbed the bricks on the city wall even harder than before, and the veins on the back of his hands were popping out.
When the black armoured cavalrymen reached the Gate of Sky Bearing, Xiao Ruxun raised his hand to signal to them. Under Jiang Yue's lead, the cavalrymen all turned to look at Xiao Ruxun, who was waving his hand on the city wall, and raised the weapons in their hands.
"Long live the Emperor!"
1,500 soldiers shouted in unison, and there was not the slightest bit of noise. There was not the slightest bit of chaos, and it seemed so orderly and majestic.
They slowly walked past the Gate of Sky Bearing in an orderly formation. They did not stop, speed up, or slow down, until they could no longer be seen.
