Chapter 22 The Deputy Marshal of the Flying Horse

"It's all right, it's all gone, all those stinky things are dead, and the plague here will get better with them gone. I smiled in Mo Junxian's direction to soothe his emotions.

"Why, why did you encounter them that didn't give me a signal, such a serious injury, do you really think that you are King Kong immortal......? Don't do it again" Mo Junxian's voice faded away again, but the gentle aura never lingered.

After that time, I fell asleep again for seven days, and during those seven days, we were never in any danger again. This road is treacherous, and I haven't even met a single mountain bandit, which is really rare in this kind of troubled times.

And the atmosphere between us became strange again, and I don't know how to describe it, as if it had suddenly reverted to the time when we first met, and I always felt something more.

Kyoto in the Southern Dynasty was extremely prosperous, with many restaurants and shops, all kinds of food and play, and the streets were full of people, Confucian people, peddlers, pawns, and all kinds of people. However, the most of them are dressed as samurai, and they must all be here for the fame of this martial champion.

Fortunately, the Mo family also has a business in Kyoto, so we don't have to run for a place to live, and looking at those inns that are full, you can imagine how tragic this battle for the house is.

There are still five days to leave the department, but we can't stay in peace, Mo Xiu has already instructed Mo Junxian to visit a few courtiers in advance after coming to Beijing, so we put down our luggage, freshen up, and did not dare to delay for a moment.

The first is a Cangcao under the Tai Lieutenant, although the official position is not large, but he has a special status in the army. The name card and gifts have already been sent in, and Mo Junxian has also received great courtesy, and we were only allowed to go back after dinner in the house.

On the second day, we will visit the deputy commander of the Flying Cavalry Battalion, which has a very special position in the Imperial City, and its direct command has always been held by the prince and the prince, and is directly under the royal jurisdiction, and is not subject to the control of the local and military departments. Of course, it has always been a tradition that the commander of the Flying Cavalry Battalion usually does not ascend to the throne and become the first person to be the supreme.

Since the founding of the Southern Dynasties, only Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ying, the founding monarchs who single-handedly created the Flying Cavalry Battalion, have broken this convention.

Needless to say, Emperor Yuan also had a special reason for breaking this rule back then, so the emperors of later generations did not dare to break this tradition on the grounds of the British Emperor. However, no emperor will ignore the military force at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the commanders who can be recognized by the Son of Heaven are generally the princes who are most favored by the Son of Heaven, but have no hope for the throne for various reasons.

Today's identity as the commander of the flying cavalry battalion is even more noble, the son-in-law of the queen, the most favored son of the Son of Heaven, and the seventeenth son of the emperor, Zhong Liyang.

Today's queen has three sons and one daughter, the eldest son of the emperor, the princess of Qianruo, the fifth son of the emperor and the seventeenth son of the emperor. Among them, the eldest son died early, Princess Qianruo had already married, and her husband was the great Sinong who was the most popular minister in the court, in charge of the financial power of the court. As for the fifth son of the emperor, he is the prince of the East Palace who is now under one person and above ten thousand.

The queen suffered the pain of losing her son back then, and the fifth son of the emperor, the son who will inherit the unification in the future, can't interfere too much, but for her daughter and younger son, she, the queen of the world, can still have the final say, especially for this little son, it is not an ordinary doting. In addition, the eldest sister and the royal brother are all illustrious, speaking of the seventeenth son of the emperor, Zhong Liyang, this Nuoda Kyoto is really known to everyone.

Everyone rumors that Zhong Liyang was born and squirrel, sleeping in flowers and willows, playing horses and teasing dogs, but he has done a lot of things, but it is rare that he has not caused any lawsuits for so many years, of course, there are also some small families who are afraid of power and swallow their anger.

Such a person commands the flying cavalry camp, no matter how much Rao is the son of heaven loves it, he also knows in his heart that his son has a few catties and a few taels, and pointing out this errand to him is more for the ancestral tradition. Therefore, this Zhong Liyang has hardly appeared in the Flying Cavalry Battalion, and the Flying Cavalry Battalion is still managed by the military with a strong appearance and clear military regulations, and it is still the deputy commander who was personally pointed out to Zhong Liyang by the Son of Heaven.

Speaking of Xiao Ce, the deputy commander of the flying cavalry battalion, he can't get around the now trapped General Gai, the original Xiao Ce was just an inconspicuous member of the army under him, and it was Xiao Ce's eyes that made him rise to three levels within a year before he attracted the attention of the Son of Heaven.

Of course, it does not mean that General Gai recommends it, and the Son of Heaven will definitely choose it, this Xiao Ce itself also has a very appreciable advantage, especially the sparkle in the eyes of the monarch.

Xiao Ce joined the army at the age of sixteen, and after dozens of bloody battles in three years, he earned one in the army to join the army, but he did not have real power to join the army in the Southern Dynasties, he was just a false name, and he also envied how many ordinary soldiers.

Later, he received attention, and General Gai valued it, and he rose all the way to the vanguard seal of the Zhengsanpin Left Cavalry General Leading the Front, and General Gai's sword pointed to it was the battlefield where he galloped, and he had accumulated great achievements, and he believed that he would be promoted again soon.

It was at this time that the emperor selected a deputy for the previous commander of the flying cavalry battalion, and Xiao Ce was temporarily seconded, and there was nothing else to do except the drill for the whole day.

This secondment lasted for ten years, and the previous commander of the Flying Cavalry Battalion had died of illness, but he was still the left cavalry general who took the post of the second rank on behalf of the third rank. Leaving the battlefield full of blood and heroic clouds, he buried himself in piles of official documents all day long, and the words spit out between his lips and teeth were no longer the tiger roar when he was fighting for life and death, and the most talked about every day was such trivial things as military appearance and untidy military posture.

For so many years, the high-ranking Son of Heaven seems to have really forgotten to correct the name of this deputy commander who has been 'acting on behalf of the Yue'.

Not to mention Xiao Ce's conscientiousness over the years, just the accumulated military exploits before he was seconded that year, the difference was only that he missed the canonization of the meritorious deeds reward at that time.

Many people believe that the Son of Heaven is really complicated and forget, but some astute people still remember what happened when Zhong Liyang took over the Flying Cavalry Camp three years ago.

On that day, the Son of Heaven suddenly became interested and took the seventeenth son of the emperor who had just taken office to inspect his military camp.

During the walk, the Son of Heaven suddenly remembered a question, so he asked Xiao Ce, "General Gai valued you very much back then, I still remember when I seconded you, he was the boss's reluctance, he has the grace of knowing you, you have worked hard all these years, this flying cavalry battalion has such bravery, but after all, you are seconded, do you want to go back?"
