Chapter 2056 [Shangxie]
Five years later, the emperor once again led an army in person to the southwestern border.
Before dawn that day, the people of Shenjing City, who had known the news for a long time, had already taken to the streets, waiting to see off the emperor and the army.
When the vermilion palace gate opened, the eagerly waiting people standing in the front were immediately attracted by the knight who was slowly marching out in front.
He was wearing a bright red robe, sitting on a horse with long legs and a narrow waist. His black cloak could hardly hide his straight and sharp figure.
Seeing the dense crowds of people on the street, he seemed stunned, and there was still a daze in his amber eyes.
In fact, he was not the only one who was in a trance at the moment. Among the people on the street, there were also people who had experienced the war five years ago. When they looked at the people who were slowly riding out of the palace gate, they felt as if they had returned to five years ago, and saw with their own eyes the young emperor who had just ascended the throne and was appointed to the throne in a crisis. He was wearing a silver battle robe and led a large number of soldiers. He passed through the long street from the palace gate like the wind and headed towards the distant border.
After five years, those memories that had been erased by time have come back to my mind again.
The young emperor had grown up at that time. Now he put on his armor again and was about to go to the battlefield.
Some people couldn't help but raise their arms and shout excitedly,
"God bless Chiwei! May Your Majesty be victorious!"
An almost voice-breaking roar created a huge splash in the crowd, and the shouts of tens of millions of people gradually filled the entire long street, shattering the morning of the capital city like thunder.
"God bless Chiwei! Victory is the first step!"
"God bless Chiwei! Victory is the first step!"
"God bless Chiwei! Victory is the first step!"
Zhang Sun Chi froze for a long while amidst the thunder and tsunamis. Gradually, he pursed his lips and uttered only two words to the deputy general behind him:
"Unfurl the flag."
Upon hearing this, the deputy general gave an order behind him.
With a whoosh, two huge black military flags fluttered in the wind. On one flag was a scarlet and lifelike Chiwei flower, and on the other was the word "Changsun" written in a flamboyant and murderous style.
The people's shouts paused for a moment, and then rose and fell even more frantically.
Chang Sun Chi looked indifferent amidst the shouts, and rode away with the kick of his horse's belly.
His cloak fluttered in the wind, and he carried the five thousand soldiers and two military flags behind him, sweeping through the streets of Shenjing like a black tsunami, and quickly disappeared in the shouts of the crowd.

After the emperor and his five thousand soldiers met up with the 500,000-strong army on the outskirts of the city, they began their journey without stopping.
They rested in Tongzhou on the first night, and in the evening the army found an open space by the river to set up camp.
At nightfall, Changsun Chi returned to the tent after dinner.
Logically speaking, he hadn't left the palace for a long time. He should have walked around outside and taken a look at the scenery on the river, but he inexplicably felt uninterested.
Unlike the Purple Palace, the tent was not decorated with high-quality candles and luminous beads. The oil lamp here was extremely dim. Chang Sun Chi was originally looking at a map under the lamp, but he became a little absent-minded.
The sound of patrolling soldiers' footsteps came from outside the tent, and he woke up suddenly. He looked around reflexively, but all he saw were simple tents - this was not the Purple Palace. He had already been hundreds of miles away from the palace, so of course it was impossible for him to see someone who was still in the Purple Palace.
Chang Sun Chi realized what he was thinking. After a moment of hesitation, he couldn't help but draw a self-deprecating arc at the corner of his mouth.
During the days and nights he was trapped in the Zichen Palace, he never imagined that one day in the future he would miss that cage so much.
