Chapter 106 Twilight Sparkle Agreed to Marry Me
The victory at Tongzhou not only consolidated Li Keyong's power in the north, but also won him more popular support and the support of the army.
A few days later, Emperor Zhaozong of Tang received Li Keyong's memorial.
The memorial detailed the course of the Tongzhou Campaign and the heroic actions of Qiu Ziyue and others.
After receiving the memorial, Emperor Zhaozong of Tang read it carefully and was very pleased.
He said to his close advisors, "Li Keyong has indeed lived up to expectations, and these young generals have performed exceptionally well. Issue my decree to reward them handsomely."
To celebrate the victory at Tongzhou, Li Keyong held a celebratory banquet in his camp.
The banquet was filled with the aroma of wine, and the soldiers sat together in a lively atmosphere.
Li Keyong sat in the main seat, smiling as he looked at the soldiers around him.
He raised his wine glass and announced loudly: "Fellow soldiers, our successful capture of Tongzhou today is inseparable from the valiant fighting of every single soldier. In particular, the wisdom and courage of our young generals are truly admirable."
"By the way, today is a celebration banquet to reward everyone for their hard work. Everyone can drink and sing and dance to their heart's content."
Suddenly, a soldier stood up and said loudly, "Prince Jin, could you please have Miss Qiu perform for us? Seeing is believing. If we could see her play the zither and dance, we would have no regrets in this life!"
The surrounding soldiers echoed their agreement, and thunderous applause erupted.
Li Keyong smiled as he looked at Qiu Ziyue, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
He also greatly admired Qiu Ziyue's talent and believed that her performance would definitely boost morale.
"General Qiu, did you hear the soldiers' request?" Li Keyong asked gently.
Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly and nodded in response: "Since the soldiers have such an interest, I am naturally happy to perform for everyone, but I will have to trouble General Lu and my three senior brothers."
Lu Yuanchangming, his three senior brothers, and Qiu Ziyue exchanged glances and then smiled slightly.
After spending time together, the group has become good friends and has reached a tacit understanding with each other, communicating with just a glance.
Then, she stood up, returned to her tent, temporarily took off her battle robe, and Liu Xu gave her a woman's dress to change into.
Qiu Langyu took out the guzheng, and her fingers gently plucked the strings, producing a series of moving melodies;
Qiu Wentian picked up the jade flute and played a clear and melodious tune.
Qiu Wentian then took up a drumstick and struck the war drum, the stirring drumbeats adding a magnificent momentum to the entire performance.
Lu Yuanchangming then sang "Jiangnan Girl," his voice as gentle as a spring breeze, captivating the listener.
The four guys each showcased their talents, together delivering a spectacular musical feast.
Qiu Ziyue walked towards the center of the tent, and her little golden fox "Xueying" quietly came to her side.
Some time ago, her "Snow Shadow" went missing. It turned out that Snow Shadow was playful and got injured while playing outside, and never came back.
Qiu Ziyue knew that the little golden fox loved to play, so she didn't look for it. Xueying had played enough, so she followed it back.
At this moment, Qiu Ziyue danced gracefully to the music. Her body swayed gently with the melody, and every turn and leap was full of rhythm.
Liu Xu and Liu Qingluo listened and sang quietly to each other, their faces showing expressions of rapture.
After the performance, thunderous applause erupted inside the tent.
The soldiers shouted excitedly, "Miss Qiu, that's amazing!"
Li Keyong stood up and said loudly, "Fellow soldiers, today's wonderful performance is all thanks to General Qiu's versatility. I hope that everyone can be as brave and fearless as General Qiu on the battlefield, and just as outstanding off the battlefield."
The soldiers responded in unison, "We are willing to pledge our loyalty to the Prince of Jin and follow General Qiu!"
Qiu Ziyue smiled and nodded, her heart filled with warmth and emotion. She knew that these soldiers were not only her comrades-in-arms, but also her friends.
On this battlefield, they advanced and retreated together, weathering storms together.
After the celebration banquet ended, everyone gradually dispersed.
Qiu Ziyue and her four buddies gazed at the starry sky.
"It's been so long since we've looked at the stars together like this," Qiu Ziyue said softly, her eyes sparkling with tenderness.
Lu Yuanchangming smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Yes, everyone is busy with their own things, so it's rare to have such a peaceful night."
Qiu Langyu patted Qiu Ziyue on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Junior sister, is there anything interesting you can share with us?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue's face lit up with a mischievous smile. She cleared her throat and began to recount the funny story of how she had tricked Qi Yuxuan and made him drink chili water.
The four guys' eyes lit up when they heard this, clearly showing their great interest in the matter.
Qi Yuxuan didn't think much of it, took the medicine bowl and drank it down.
Qiu Ziyue continued, "As a result, he had just taken a sip when his throat was burning from the spiciness, his face turned bright red, and he was furious."
At this point, Qiu Ziyue couldn't help but laugh.
The four guys were amused and burst into laughter.
Lu Yuanchangming clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he almost fell over: "Haha, Qi Yuxuan's expression must be hilarious!"
Qiu Wenfeng laughed and said, "That's satisfying! That Qi kid always bullies you, and now he's finally suffered a bit."
Qiu Langyu and Qiu Wentian echoed their sentiments, filling the courtyard with laughter and joy.
Qiu Ziyue continued, "At that time, I was worried that he would retaliate. As a result, he sent three guards to check if I had disguised myself, but they couldn't tell. Later, they realized it was me."
Lu Yuanchangming nodded and said with a smile, "It seems your trick really worked. If anyone dares to bully you again, we'll stand up for you!"
As night deepened, the stars in the sky shone even brighter. Qiu Ziyue and her four senior brothers remained immersed in the laughter and warmth.
Suddenly, Lu Yuan said, "Zi Yue, it seems you haven't forgotten Qi Yuxuan. But you've already made it clear to him that your bet is null and void. How about you consider marrying me? I will treat you well and never bully you."
"What? You dare to make a move on our junior sister?" The three senior brothers immediately became displeased.
"Junior sister is ours, don't even think about taking her from us," the three senior brothers continued.
Laughing, joking, and having fun, Qiu Ziyue suddenly started crying again.
Lu Yuanchangming and his three senior brothers quickly comforted her:
"Don't cry, Twilight Sparkle."
"Junior sister, don't be sad. Who upset you?"
……
"It's all that Qi the ice block's fault. He made things like that, making me look like a mistress, and he even argued with me. He's so annoying."
"Oh, what mistress? Okay, don't be angry. By the way, is your arm healed yet? Last time you cut yourself, it scared us to death. We'll definitely beat that Qi family brat to a pulp when we get back. And besides, we're such good friends, why are you so stubborn?"
Despite the words of comfort, Qiu Ziyue cried even harder.
"You guys don't know, I'm from the 21st century. My soul transmigrated into Tao Ling'er's body. Tao Ling'er left a will that I should marry that Qi the Ice Block, which has caused me so much suffering! Why am I so unlucky? I heard that everyone else transmigrates to a good era, but I ended up in this chaotic late Tang Dynasty!"
"Woo, woo, woo"
The four guys couldn't understand, but they kept comforting him.
Seeing her master so sad, the little golden fox Xueying quietly brought Qiu Ziyue a piece of silk handkerchief from the tent so that Qiu Ziyue could wipe her tears and snot.
Lu Yuanchangming quickly picked a flower from outside the tent and handed it to Qiu Ziyue, saying, "To Miss Qiu, I am Lu Yuanchangming. I have long been in love with you at first sight and cannot bear to see you sad. No matter where you come from, I, Lu, am willing to follow you to the death. Will you accept my marriage proposal?"
Qiu Ziyue took the flower and said, "I'll marry you then. The world will keep turning no matter who leaves. That's how it is in TV dramas, isn't it? A girl should find someone who loves her. Lu Yuanchangming, I agree to marry you."
The three senior brothers: "Hmm, what is it? Why?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanchangming laughed happily.
He shouted at the starry sky, "Miss Qiu, you've agreed!"
"Twilight Sparkle has agreed to marry me."
