Chapter 346 Far from Beijing

Tang Zheng's plane landed at Yuanjing Palace Airport.

 This is the first time he has come here since the end of the world.

Yuanjing is the capital of Han Dynasty. It governs dozens of districts and counties, covers an area of ​​700,000 square kilometers, and has a population of 400 million.

However, the palace is 800 kilometers away from Yuanjing, and the two are not next to each other.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a quiet environment. The base city is almost the largest in the country, covering an area of ​​more than 3,000 square kilometers, which is larger than Didicui Island.

 When Tang Zheng's plane arrived, it was already evening.

The palace airport was heavily guarded. When Tang Zheng's plane landed, he saw a group of people waiting in the distance.

That slender figure standing among the crowd is even more noticeable at a glance.

Li Wuyou's appearance has not changed much, except that he is a little thinner than before. His fair and pretty face looks a little tired. He is wearing a long black windbreaker that wraps up his slim figure.

There was a white scarf around her neck, with a few vague writings on it. The night wind blew by, and the scarf and her long hair flew together, and her slender body seemed to be able to ride on the wind.

The former national fairy is still full of fairy spirit, but her pale face and a hint of fatigue still betray her current situation, and the heavy pressure makes her a little overwhelmed.

Seeing Tang Zheng, who was dressed in military uniform, getting off the plane, a bright smile bloomed on Li Wuyou's face, and he silently greeted him.

This is the first time she has come to the airport to pick up someone. After the end of the world, she has the highest status in the entire Han month, and there is no one worthy of her coming to the airport to greet her in person.

But when Tang Zheng came, she didn't say anything and took the initiative to come to the airport to greet him. This made Xie Huaiman, Liu Yibang and others who were following him feel that Tang Zheng was too lucky.

 Tang Zheng got off the plane, and there were some cameras shooting around him. After all, when Tang Zheng came to Yuanjing, he represented not only himself, but also the entire Light Chasing Army.

His meeting with Li Wuyou was not just a personal meeting, but a meeting between two strategic allies.

Li Wuyou walked up to Tang Zheng and took the initiative to extend his white jade hand: "Welcome General Tang to Yuanjing."

Tang Zheng also had a programmed smile on his face. He stretched out his hand to shake Li Wuyou's hand and said, "After several months of separation, Her Royal Highness remains as charming as ever. The common people are very pleased."

Li Wuyou lowered his head and smiled gently, and fiddled with the scarf around his neck with his other hand, making Tang Zheng's eyelids twitch.

It seems that some things did not get over in fact.

The two of them exchanged some polite words, and the people around Tang Zheng also met with the people around Li Wuyou.

After greetings, a motorcade drove over, and Li Wuyou invited Tang Zheng and his entourage to get on the bus.

 The motorcade started and left the airport, heading to the banquet hall where Li Wuyou welcomed Tang Zheng.

 The banquet hall is located in the Royal Yingbin Pavilion, which was also the Yingbin Pavilion of the former palace.

 Walking into the grand banquet hall, everyone sat down one after another.

 It can be seen that Li Wuyou has made full preparations to welcome Tang Zheng's arrival, entertaining Tang Zheng and his men according to the standards of a Han Yue state banquet.

 A beautiful waiter came over and poured wine for everyone present.

 The wine is Baijiu, the national drink of Han Yue, the goddess of the sky.

Li Wuyou, who rarely drank alcohol before, even poured a glass in front of him.

 It was obvious that she was very happy, and as the host, she took the initiative to bring a glass of wine.

"Welcome to General Tang and his entourage for coming from afar, and congratulations to General Tang for his recent successes. He captured Didicui Island, bombed the Inner Bay naval port, and won the battle of Yunling with fewer wins and more. At the critical moment, the auspicious stars and the gods also had the help of the corpses. These military achievements His deeds are legendary, and today we all pay a toast to General Tang."

Liu Yibang and others were all very familiar with Tang Zheng, especially after he was rescued by Tang Zheng in Hezhou. They kept silent with each other, cheered loudly, and then took the initiative to serve him a glass.

Li Wuyou drank more than half of the wine in one gulp, and his face turned red immediately after finishing the drink.

As the master of the empire, and as a young girl, she drank so much. Naturally, other people couldn't watch, and they all raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

 With alcohol as the base, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became more lively.

Tang Zheng did not come alone. He was accompanied by some officers from the Light Chasing Army.

Under the influence of alcohol, these people quickly became brothers with Liu Yibang and others.

 Because most of the people attending the banquet were military officers, the topic of discussion quickly turned to the recent situation.

 From the situation in Blackwater Province, to the situation in Pearl Islands, from the situation in Yuanjing, to the situation in Zhuguang City in the Northern Territory.

Any location can become a topic of discussion.

Tang Zheng was of course sitting next to Li Wuyou, and the two of them were chatting lightly.

Li Wuyou's fair face was pink due to the effect of alcohol, but his expression was still dignified, and he smiled slightly when he said he was happy.

Tang Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Life is indeed the most challenging experience. The carefree girl of the past is gone. She has grown up a lot.

As the banquet progressed, the photographers also left, and everyone relaxed even more. After all, they no longer had to face the problem of broadcasting, and the conversation became casual.

The officers who followed Tang Zheng also started to toast.

There are rules for such occasions. No matter who is toasting, the first drink must be given to Li Wuyou. After all, as the only member of the royal family, no one can ignore her.

Li Wuyou was in a good mood today, especially the people on Zhuguangjun's side. She was also able to hold a glass for a toast, and she would not drink too little to appear perfunctory.

For example, Director Ji Yuntian of the Military Intelligence Bureau picked up the wine glass and said: "This wine is first of all dedicated to our Princess. I wish Her Royal Highness the youth to stay young and complete the restoration of the country as soon as possible."

Li Wuyou also smiled while holding the cup. After taking a sip, Ji Yuntian's mouth became a little twitchy. "Your Highness, your Royal Guards have cooperated with our Light Chasing Army during this period, but they have shown great power. The Four Nations Alliance has almost disintegrated. In the future, you and our generals must join forces. After all, who in the world doesn't know that you two The relationship between positions is extraordinary."

Li Wuyou also smiled and looked at Ji Yuntian: "Director Ji, tell me, why is my relationship with your general so unusual?"

Ji Yuntian is not a very ink-minded person. It is okay to let him fight or catch spies, but it is not good to let him talk about it.

I thought for a long time and said, "I can't describe this well. It's like wearing a pair of trousers between brothers."

Li Wuyou was stunned for a moment, his face flushed. He didn't answer the question, but his beautiful eyes turned as white as Tang Zheng's.

Tang Zheng coughed immediately: "Director Ji, be careful with your words. Your Highness the Princess is a girl."

Ji Yuntian also realized something was wrong and hurriedly corrected: "Yes, yes, it should be like wearing a skirt."

Li Wuyou, who was a little unhappy next to him, suddenly laughed, and he didn’t know what he thought of.

 “General Tang is really good at handling his subordinates.”

Tang Zheng glared at Ji Yuntian, secretly thinking about his luck.

The overall cultural quality of the officers of the Zhuguang Army needs to be improved. Individuals should study in depth before considering the issue of appointment.

 After three rounds of drinking, the banquet was dispersed.

Li Wuyou was a little drunk, but his eyes were exceptionally clear.

 “Let’s go for a walk.”

 She extended an invitation to Tang Zheng, who nodded and followed Li Wuyou out.

 At night, the lanterns in the palace are starting to come on. This is the core area of ​​Yuanjing Base City, where no common people live, and it still maintains the style of the royal gardens in the past.

 Two people were walking side by side on the windy corridor of the palace.

 The palace lantern beside them swayed, casting the shadows of the two people into the distance.

 Even in the last days, royal dignity has not been completely lost.

Li Wuyou was a little drunk and followed Tang Zheng, his body swaying slightly. Tang Zheng stretched out a hand, and Li Wuyou took advantage of the situation and grabbed one of Tang Zheng's sleeves to keep his body stable.

 Going forward along the wind and rain corridor, there is a hill in front of you.

 The hill is the highest point of the palace, and it seems to be more than a hundred meters high.

“Let’s go hiking.” Li Wuyou seemed to be in a good mood and enthusiastically invited Tang Zheng to climb the mountain.

"good."

Tang Zheng nodded, and the two of them walked up the stone steps on the mountain.

As she walked, Li Wuyou felt a little unable to walk. After all, she drank a lot of wine, and for an eighteen-year-old girl, she was already a little drunk.

Tang Zheng took advantage of the situation and grabbed her Rouyi, pulling her forward as much as he could.

Li Wuyou's body stiffened slightly, and then he took Tang Zheng's hand and let him pull him forward.

 After walking for about twenty minutes, we finally reached the top of the mountain.

At the top of the mountain is a small park, covering an area of ​​several hundred square meters.

There is also a viewing platform of the palace, with a double mahogany armchair. Sitting there, you will have the best view.

The two of them arrived and sat down. Li Wuyou also withdrew his hand and tightened his windbreaker to resist the cool mountain breeze at night.

Tang Zheng was also looking into the distance here. The lights below were bright, and the night view of the base city in the distance was very beautiful.

 There used to be many better night views than here, but now in the end of the world, this kind of night view is particularly precious.

“Her Royal Highness the Princess has managed the Yuanjing base city very well.”

 Tang Zheng praised him sincerely, but received no reply from Li Wuyou.

He looked back and saw Li Wuyou's eyes fixed on him, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with the princess?"

Li Wuyou said slowly: "At the banquet, I heard from your people that you are going to the Tiger Empire?"

Tang Zheng nodded slightly. This matter was also one of the reasons why he came to Beijing. He wanted to ask Li Wuyou his opinion on this matter.

After all, there are not many people who can communicate with Tang Zheng on an equal footing now. Even if some people ask, they may not be able to give him a satisfactory answer. After all, although Li Wuyou is young, her status determines her He has a longer-term perspective than the average person of his age.

 Seeing Tang Zheng nod, Li Wuyou's eyes became even more worried: "Is this necessary?"

Tang Zheng pondered for a moment: "If you don't go, you may suffer a lot of losses. If you go and succeed, many things will be much easier to handle."

 “But you are not alone.”

Li Wuyou said, suddenly holding Tang Zheng's hand again.

"You still have a father and sister, and thousands of people who follow you. When considering a problem, you can't just see the benefits and ignore the risks behind the benefits. I don't want to stop you, I just want you to consider Be clear about how to protect yourself to the greatest extent. If something happens to you, what will happen to your family? What will happen to your subordinates? What will happen to me and our agreement?"
