All the entourages were stunned, unable to figure out what the holy intention was, and they all secretly hung their heads and held their breath, saying that the power of heaven is unpredictable, and the strange thing that came today may have been heard by some rumors.

Xiao Ce didn't think about it, and calmly replied, "Weichen's long-cherished wish is to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and where the emperor's order is, is where Weichen's is located." ”

The Ninety-Five Supreme, who was accustomed to hearing all kinds of flattery and flattery, didn't make any expression when he heard this, but continued: "But, don't you miss your brothers in the army?

"The brothers in the army know that I am on an errand for His Majesty, and they can understand it. What's more, it's not that the brothers don't have a relationship when they're not together."

"You just said that where the emperor's order is, it is where you are, but I don't believe it, do I want you to go to the palace gate to be a ruling Jinwu now, and you have no complaints?"

"Yes" Xiao Ce replied without hesitation, without even a trace of hesitation on his face.

"Okay, from tomorrow, you will report in front of the palace gate."

"Obey"

According to the records of the historians, in the fifteenth year of Jiande, the Son of Heaven took advantage of the Xingxing Flying Cavalry Camp after drinking, and was very satisfied with the military appearance under the auxiliary rule of Xiao Ce, the acting deputy commander of the Flying Cavalry Battalion, and moved to the ruling Jinwu with his order, and ordered him to guard the palace gate, saying, "Where the Qing is, I can sleep in peace."

The next day, Xiao Ce was on duty, the Son of Heaven saw it, thought about the drunken words the day before yesterday, and felt that the drunken trip was inappropriate, and he could not bury the talent, so he promoted Xiao Ce to the rank of general of the second grade, and led the deputy commander of the flying cavalry battalion, and continued to be loyal to the country and guard the safety of the important land in Kyoto.

Xiao Ce was promoted two levels in a row, and he was afraid of thanks, and said that he would do his best in the future. When the Son of Heaven heard this, he said, "Monarchs and ministers are of one heart and one mind, why worry about the prosperity of the family and the country?"

This story was told to me by Mo Junxian on the way to Xiaofu.

"Do you believe this last paragraph?" I asked bluntly, anyway, there were only the two of us in the car.

"Is it important to believe it or not? What matters is the wisdom that Xiao Ce has shown in this matter, as well as the calmness of his character, and the opportunities it has brought him."

"Opportunity ......" Mo Junxian's expression was unpredictable, and I muttered and repeated these two words.

"Yes, as far as Xiao Ce encounters these things, no one may be able to complain at all, but Xiao Ce has never said anything inappropriate over the years, which shows that this person is quite self-disciplined. The saint didn't ask the reason for deposing him as Jin Wuwei, and replaced him with an ordinary general, and he had long been reluctant to resist, but I heard that he was not arrogant or impatient at that time, and he took it calmly, and went to guard the palace gate with peace of mind.

The most important thing is his sentence, where the king's order is, where the peace is, and he is not bound by the old feelings"

Yes, these monarchs in the world have such suspicions, even if they are like brothers, they are still afraid of high merit and overpower, and their subordinates only listen to the general's orders, not the king's orders.

"So, we came to visit Xiao Ce this time because General Gai was kind to him and wanted to ask him to help with the activities?"

"No, I just want to find out his attitude, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, so many years have passed, and that little bit of knowing the grace is still not in my heart, it's hard to say"

"The heart is separated from the belly, and the outside does not know the inside" This is a sentence I learned a long time ago, I said in a low voice, Mo Junxian sighed lightly, and did not speak again.

The southerners emphasize the etiquette system, and Mo Junxian is now only the body of Bai Ding, and he can't go to the main gate according to the etiquette system, so after handing over the prayer post at the front door, we waited at the west gate. After waiting for about a cup of tea, the side door opened from the inside, and a young man in Tsing Yi led us in.

Similarly, according to the etiquette system, I can't go to the front hall with Mo Junxian to pay homage to General Xiao, and because I am not Mo Junxian's family, I don't need the level of the hostess of the inner house, so I am in an awkward situation.

After Mo Junxian entered, the little guy lowered his head and said euphemistically to take me to the backyard and ask the sisters in the backyard to entertain me. I thought about it, this journey, the things I have experienced are not very normal, since I promised to ensure that Mo Junxian is thorough, I don't want to be too far away from him, so I rejected the little guy's proposal.

There is a row of side rooms next to the gate, which is usually the gatekeeper to rest and put some sundries, and sometimes the guests come to rest here, so the little room found a remote side room in the most corner with me, a pot of coarse tea and a coarse porcelain tea bowl, which is also considered to be entertained.

The southerners are the most important etiquette, I am a woman here, and the other people are not close here, but they are quite clean. The little guy promised me that when Mo Junxian came out, he would come and call me, I was relieved, I was bored, so I closed my eyes and continued to seize the time to recover my strength.

Originally, in order to find the tilt, most of my strength has been dispersed, and I believe that my cultivation is refined, even if there is half left, it is enough to protect myself. But since he came out with Mo Junxian this time, he was injured and poisoned, and his cultivation for tens of millions of years has almost been dissipated. The last remaining bit of essence was also used by me to suppress the poisonous sores on my face, and now I, if I lose my cultivation, I am just like an ordinary human being, not to mention that I will encounter demon beasts again, even if I am a stronger human warrior, I am not an opponent.

The loss of cultivation makes me very anxious, and recently there have always been powerful demon beasts around Mo Junxian inexplicably, so I have to seize all the time to recover my strength now, even if it can only recover a little, I can help Mo Junxian a little more later, this is a more dangerous and complicated place.

After meditating in the small room all morning, the stagnant breath in my chest was much soothed, and the footsteps that woke me up outside the door stopped, and the knock came at the right time.

"Girl, your son-in-law is out"

I answered, the little guy standing outside the door was still the same guy just now, not far away, the carriage outside the west gate where we came in had been packed, and Mo Junxian tilted his head slightly, as if he was avoiding something.

When I walked out, I saw that someone was getting out of the car outside the door. It's a female dependent, no wonder Mo Junxian wants to avoid taboos. He said that Kyoto is no better than other places, and you should be careful to avoid taboos everywhere when you act here, and if you make a wrong step, you may fall into a catastrophe.

The lady is only about two years old, gorgeously dressed and pregnant, it looks like she is about to give birth, and I don't know if it is this General Xiao's family, why does she have to go out with such a bulky body.

When I came out, I saw a girl leading the woman out of the carriage by the side of the carriage, and the small lotus step stepped on the horse stool, but the other foot was hooked by the skirt, but it was not stepped on, and the whole person pounced down, frightening a group of girls.

The girl who was holding her didn't have that much strength to support her, but was taken and thrown backwards together. If she pounced straight down like this, her stomach must have hit the ground first, and the child in her womb was likely to suffer, it was a fragile and clean creature, how could she leave without seeing this world?

Subconsciously, I moved my footsteps, and all the little cultivation I had just condensed was carried in my palms, turning into a soft force, and gently supporting the master and servant.

The woman reacted so frightened that her face was discolored, the dignity just now no longer existed, her face was pale and she screamed, she almost collapsed to the ground, and I grabbed her, so she sat on the ground without being rude.
