At the end of the lunar month, the end of the year is approaching. In addition to big cities such as Luoyang Mansion in the eastern capital and Chang'an Mansion in the west, which need to be garrisoned and maintain contact, other Xuanyi who went out on business have basically returned home.

The twenty-eighth day of the lunar month

The Yellow Calendar says:

Appropriate: return home, break ground, sacrifice, and be buried

Don't: Traveling far away

It's good luck

In the wee hours of the morning, before dawn, it was the darkest hour of the night.

Li Le woke up early, called his subordinates to serve his face, and immediately dispelled the thick sleepiness.

Changed into a freshly made Xuanyi uniform, and wore a black colored coat made of canvas hard fabric. There are two small pockets with brass buttons on the chest, and there are two slightly larger pockets on the left and right sides of the jacket.

A white leather belt is tied around the waist with brass rings. Wear cotton bloomers and high-waisted cowhide boots with hard soles. He wears a black gauze folded scarf and a large windbreaker. The whole person is like a dark iron spear piercing the sky, looking straight and tough, and bursting out with vigor.

Standing in front of the dim bronze mirror by the light, Li Le smiled and nodded with a very satisfied look at his dress. The heart said, if you dress up like this, you won't blind the eyes of outsiders? This kind of clothes similar to an officer's uniform in the previous life are worn on the body, and it is a sharp weapon for pretending to be forced. It has been with a sense of majesty since then.

Just then, the door was pushed open. saw Mei Xiangzhu walking in wearing a Xuanyi uniform that was almost exactly the same as him.

Although she is dressed in a neutral dress, she can't hide her mature charm at all, but adds a unique charm.

Looking at Li Le, he smiled like a flower and said, "How did you grow up with this brain, and you could actually come up with such a set of clothes?"

Li Le smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Mei Xiangzhu pursed her lips lightly and said, "Make do, it's okay." It's just that since I put it on last night, I'm a little reluctant to take it off again. ”

Li Le walked up to her, sniffed lightly with his nose, sighed with some satisfaction, and said, "Is this Sister Mei praising me?" ”

Mei Xiangzhu patted his forehead lightly angrily, and said, "It's not in shape, on such a big day today, I can't change your mouth." ”

Li Le said: "I'm afraid this problem can't be changed in a lifetime, by the way, let's get down to business." Is the prince up?"

Mei Xiangzhujiao smiled: "If you get up early, I'm afraid I haven't slept all night." Anyway, our prince is really interesting, I heard the people waiting outside the door say that the prince got this new outfit yesterday, and he didn't take it off after putting it on, jumping up and down in the house, and tossing around like a monkey for a night. ”

Li Le said: "He is such a fun-loving character, he can't change it at any time." By the way, where is the prince now?"

Mei Xiangzhu said: "Now I am in the hall, discussing with Mo Dashao and Mr. Bai." Seeing that the time was not early, he sent the slave family to find the third son. ”

Li Le squinted and smiled, leaned his face close to Mei Xiangzhu's Rulan face, and smiled kindly: "I'm afraid that you missed me, so you took the initiative to invite Ying over, right?"

Mei Xiangzhu smiled coquettishly: "Be less self-inflicted." ”

As soon as she said this, she was caught off guard, and was kissed on her cheek by Li Le like a dragonfly, and her slender and dry right hand was also restlessly buckled on her buttocks.

Mei Xiangzhu pushed him away in shame, and said angrily: "Why are you always so unserious!"

Li Le rubbed his palms regretfully, and sighed: "The appearance of this dress is good, but the quality is not very good, after wearing it on Sister Mei, it has no feel." ”

Mei Xiangzhu glanced at him, and snorted lightly: "Then I will wear it every day in the future, and the province will always let your little wolf dog get cheap in vain." ”

The two laughed and played with each other for a while, and Mei Xiangzhu waited to tie the dog-legged scimitar with a black fishskin sheath to his belt, and straightened his collar. He walked towards the front court hall.

All the way to the conference hall, the young men in Xuanyi who passed by the guard were almost all dressed up with Li Le. They were all dressed in canvas hard fabric officer uniforms, with eight shiny copper buttons tied in two rows on their chests, and compared with the black cotton cloth power suit they wore before, they were indeed several grades more energetic.

Everyone's face is faintly glowing with excitement. The only difference is that they are missing the big trench coat of the black Ni material.

Inside the chamber.

The crown prince sat on the left main seat, and was talking to Mo Xichao and Bai Xiangru, who were sitting on both sides. When he saw Li Le coming in, he grinned and wanted to laugh, but he quickly froze. In front of others, he still has to maintain the majesty of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Mei Xiangzhu, who was following behind Li Le, naturally saw his expression, felt funny, and almost laughed out loud, but quickly lowered his head to hide his smile.

The prince nodded slightly and said, "Zhi'an is here, please take a seat." Mr. Bai was talking about you just now. ”

Li Le was also not polite, sat on the main seat on the right, picked up the teacup, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about me?"

The prince said: "Naturally good words. ”

Bai Xiangru is still wearing the white scholar's robe, and he is the only one in the council hall who is dressed differently from others, brushing his beard and saying: "Just talking about the third prince changing his clothes this time, the old man originally thought that the left and right were just a set of clothes, how useful could they be?"

"What is the difference between the original Xuanyi and the current uniform that the third prince said? I always think that the third prince is wasting money. When I saw it today, the difference was still very big, and the momentum was obviously different. Although the original Xuanyi were also murderous, they lacked the current purge and silence. ”

"If you talk about the specific difference, the old man thinks that the Xuanyi before changing clothes are like unsheathed blades, with the light exposed, although they can still kill the enemy, but there is a little less deterrence. ”

"And now the Xuanyi are like unsheathed swords, and before they are unsheathed, you never know what kind of horror he will be. ”

Li Le smiled a little proudly: "Mr. Xiangru's words are too exaggerated, and I am embarrassed to say it." But there is a good saying, people rely on clothes, and Buddha depends on gold. At that time, when I said that I wanted to change my clothes, not only Mr. Xiangru objected, but even Xichao did not approve of it. Now it seems that the effect is still good. ”

The prince immediately said, "I'...... Lone is in favor. ”

Li Le originally wanted to taunt him according to his previous habits, but he felt that someone else was still leaving him some dignity as a prince, so he smiled a little and said: "Yes, if it weren't for the full support of His Royal Highness the Prince, where would the matter of changing clothes be so smooth, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the pass just by cherishing the dynasty and Mr. Xiangru." What's more, there is also Brother Jing Ran, the miser who wants to break a big dollar in half and spend it. ”

The prince smiled and nodded, it was obvious that Li Le's slight sycophant was very useful to him. It's not easy, and only on such an occasion with a lot of people can you hear his two good words, when the two were together in private in the past, the poor prince suffered all the ridicule and white eyes.

Mo Xichao was also dressed in a Xuanyi uniform, nodded slightly, and said: "Gu Jingran, Brother Gu is also helpless, some time ago, Xuanyi's finances were tight, and he needed money everywhere. Brother Gu is in charge of the money and food in Qianli Village, so he can't hold back. ”

Bai Xiangru said with a smile: "Yes, all expenses must be allocated, not only the nearly 20,000 people in Qianli Village eat horses and feed, but also the 'Autumn Famous Mountain' used by the third prince to collect money, and also let the village pull out a lot of money." Jing Ran's hair turned gray during that time. ”

When he heard that the third prince was going to change the clothes of the five thousand Xuanyi who had entered the village first, his whole body was furious. Fortunately, he swallowed the Blue and White Society, destroyed some other Jianghu sects, and the million taels of silver that were transported back in advance pressed him down. Otherwise, I don't know how to jump. ”

Mo Xichao looked at the sky outside, felt that it was still early, and said: "Mr. Xiangru said this, it just so happened that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived today, and about the results of the Xuanyi Guard's action to disperse all parties, I will briefly talk about it at this moment, so I will briefly talk about it." ”

The prince nodded and said, "It's just right, Lone also wants to hear it, it was too late last night, and when you arrived, your deliberations were already over, and I don't know the specific things." Please say it, brother. ”

Mo Xichao was not polite, and then said: "Regarding the matter of devouring the Blue and White Society, as early as a few years ago, not long after the establishment of the Beijing Xuanyi Society, I had a plan with Zhi'an. But at that time, because my strength was too weak, I had to put it on hold for the time being. Presumably, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mr. Xiangru are also clear. ”

The prince nodded at the same time as Shiro.

Mo Xichao continued: "Until this year, after the five thousand Xuanyi teenagers who entered Qianli Village for training in the early stage passed the training, Zhi'an felt that the time was ripe, so he began to follow Mr. Xiangru to make a detailed plan. ”

"At the beginning of November this year, luring Yun Nuoyi, the leader of the Blue and White Society, into Beijing, Zhi'an borrowed the two banners of the divine sword and ten thousand horses to suppress other big gangs that had something to do with the blue and white clubs. Then began to annex those small gangs and small factions, and by now, at the end of December, it has taken nearly two months to be basically completed. ”

"In this battle, 5,000 trained Xuanyi poured out of the nest and wiped out the Jianghu sect and the Green Forest Gangsters, forty-eight families. According to Zhi'an's meaning, in order to deter the rest of the Jianghu sects, these forty-eight families did not leave any living mouth at all. The number of our casualties is one hundred and sixty-eight. ”

When Mo Xichao said this, the prince sighed and said: "It's still dead, these one hundred and forty-eight young people in Xuanyi are all our seeds, and they lost more than a hundred people at once, and they are not happy in their hearts." ”

Li Le said: "The blade of the sword has been sharpened, and after this battle, these young men in Xuanyi have also entered the room. Besides, how can such a large-scale operation not kill people. But we've got a lot more to gain. Mr. Ruru, you can tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about the following situation. ”
