359.
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaoyao stretched his hand out of the carriage curtain and made a strange gesture. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info quickly, a shadow subordinate followed, Ren Xiaoyao whispered a few words in his ear, and the shadow subordinate responded with his fists and ran towards the shadow camp without looking back.
Leave it to the shadows to do the work of that army, and on weekdays I always hear Vinson brag that there is nothing in the world that cannot be found by shadows, and even if a needle falls into the sea, they have a way to fish it out, this time to see what they are really capable of.

Prince's Mansion.
With a smile in his eyes, the prince watched Qin Chong walk in front of him with the solid steps of a soldier, dressed in military uniform, and saluted him solemnly, and the prince's eyes couldn't help but flash a little appreciation.
Five years ago, Qin Chong was just an unknown lieutenant colonel, a low-level junior officer who could not be more ordinary. Silent and sophisticated, so although he has practiced all his skills, he has been excluded by his superiors, and he has not been promoted for many years, and he is depressed all day long.
The crown prince discovered him on behalf of his father and the emperor while watching a military exercise.
At that time, Qin Chong was very skilled in the military competition, and he still seemed to be at ease when he beat five big men in one person, and the prince praised it. When he asked the general who led the troops to order Qin Chong, he was temporarily included in the prince's mansion as a guard. Later, the prince appreciated him more and more, and sent him to the forbidden army to start as a soldier, and in the next few years, Qin Chong's official position was on the rise. Soared. Until now, he has been the deputy general of the third grade, commanding 50,000 city defense troops.
The prince felt that he cultivated and promoted Qin Chong. It was one of the most correct things he had done in his life, from a pile of dust, to find such a dazzling star, and to watch him gradually reveal his edge until he soared into the sky. For the crown prince, it was a great sense of achievement. Because this general was created by him, every time he looked at Qin Chong, the prince felt as if he was a creator, carefully admiring the masterpiece he had carefully created.
"General Qin, I haven't seen you for many days, and I miss you very much, hehe." The prince smiled heartily. The haze caused by various rumors in Beijing in the past few days on the prince's mansion seems to have been swept away with laughter.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your love, and I will be grateful." In front of the crown prince, Qin Chong still meticulously maintained his courtesy.
The prince smiled and waved his hand, and ordered, "Come on." Give General Qin a seat. ”
Qin hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.
The two sat down, and the prince looked at Qin Zhong for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "General Qin, you are in your thirties this year, right?" Can you become a biological child? ”
Qin Zhong replied respectfully: "Return to Your Highness." The last general was married three years ago, and last year he gave birth to a son for the last general. I've just turned one year now. ”
The prince smiled: "On weekdays, I have never talked to the general, but I don't know about it, and I am really ashamed." The general is married, why don't you know that you will be alone? Isn't it rude to not even express a little bit of heart? ”
Qin hurriedly said: "Your Highness has every opportunity, how dare the last general bother His Highness because of such a trivial matter?" In this way, the sin of the last will also. ”
The prince laughed loudly, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
Knowing respect and humility, knowing advance and retreat, and respecting etiquette, Lone really didn't see the wrong person.
After the two chatted a few words, the prince waved away the attendants in the front hall, and soon only the prince and Qin Zhong were left in the spacious front hall.
The smiling expression of the crown prince Ren Cai was gone, and his expression was solemn and gloomy as never before.
"Qin Chong, Lone wants you to tell the truth today, are you loyal to Lone?"
Qin Chong shook his head, as if he had a premonition that the prince was going to tell him, and his heart sank suddenly.
If the crown prince is still the crown prince who has no second thoughts and waits for his father to pass on the throne to him, Qin Chong is of course willing to be loyal to him wholeheartedly, after all, he is the future monarch, and being loyal to him is not much different from being loyal to the emperor.
However, now that rumors are spreading in Beijing, the prince has vaguely expressed his ambition in front of him several times, and at this time, the prince asked him this question, which made Qin Chong feel very heavy.
It is undeniable that Qin Chong's current future and status are all given by the prince, and the prince has recreated him with kindness, if it weren't for the prince, he Qin Chong might still be just an unknown little lieutenant, squeezed out and suppressed by his superiors everywhere. Maybe when he is too old to hold a knife or gun, his superiors will give him a few taels of silver and a few bags of grain, and kick him out of the barracks. His old age may not be much better than a wild dog wandering around in search of food.
It can be said that the prince's appreciation changed his entire life.
How he hoped that the crown prince would get his wish, and his wife would inherit the throne peacefully and sit on the dragon chair smoothly, avoiding the pain and struggle of his conscience.
However, when the prince asked him this sentence in person today, he clearly said that the prince was already planning to make a move, and his actions were something that Qin Chong did not want to see.
Qin Zhong is a natural general, he is familiar with the art of war, profound martial arts, and more importantly, he understands the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, the monarch, the minister, the father, and the son. The teachings handed down by the sages have long been imprinted in his mind and penetrated deep into his bone marrow. When everything has deviated from his original intention, how can he choose?
"His Royal Highness is kind to the last general, and the last general is willing to serve His Highness!"
Qin Zhong got up and knelt in front of the crown prince, his head bowed, his resolute face twitched a few times, and his eyes showed a deep look of pain.
He didn't have a choice. As early as the day when the prince appreciated him and promoted him, his fate was destined to be tied to the prince, although he was extremely reluctant in his heart.
The prince watched Qin Chong kneel in front of him, willing to serve him, and even made an exception and did not help him, he was very satisfied with Qin Chong's answer, he needed such an answer.
Qin Zhong got up, the prince's face was solemn, and in the front hall, the prince's cold voice was like a low roar before a beast caught its prey. Qin Zhong half-hung his head, listened to every command of the prince word for word, and did not say a word except for holding his fists in response.
After a long time, Qin Zhong said goodbye and left.
The crown prince looked at Qin Chong's back. smiled meaningfully.
Fan Rui quietly walked to the prince's side. He said with a smile: "Congratulations to Your Highness, General Qin is willing to serve His Highness, and you are one step closer to the success of the great cause." ”
The prince laughed coldly a few times, and then spoke. The tone was gloomy and fierce: "Sir, I ordered to go down and send some capable men to guard outside Qin Chong's mansion, so that there is no need to alarm his family for the time being." If the situation is not right, immediately take his wife and son under control, and there must be no mistake! ”
Fan Rui was taken aback and hurriedly responded.
When he turned around and walked out of the front hall, Fan Rui felt that his entire back was soaked in cold sweat, and the spring breeze blew, with a bit of chill that penetrated into his skin, making him shiver uncontrollably.

Three days later. Ren Mansion.
Ren Xiaoyao was dressed in a military uniform, with a purple and gold crown on his head, a hundred flowers in a robe, Tang Yi armor, and a lion treasure belt. Standing in front of the bronze mirror, Gu Ying was complacent, full of spirit.
looked at himself in the bronze mirror stupidly, and for a long time, Ren Xiaoyao touched his face with infinite pity. sighed and muttered, "Lao Tzu is handsome like this." How can other men live......"
"Poof"
Yan Ran behind him covered her small mouth and smiled irrepressibly.
Ren Xiaoyao turned his head, put on a cool pose again, and said heroically: "You look like Lu Buhu in people?" ”
Yanran smiled and asked, "Husband, who is Lu Bu?" ”
He ...... He is a strong and handsome guy, but unfortunately his character is not very good. ”
I almost forgot that the people of this world didn't know the era of heroes in the Three Kingdoms.
"What does the husband want to do when he puts on this uniform?"
When Ren Xiaoyao heard this, his originally high-spirited heroic posture suddenly collapsed, his head drooped weakly, and he said with a sad face: "Go to the barracks to be a general...... Alas! ”
Since the emperor told him the importance of the city defense army a few days ago, Ren Xiaoyao had to temporarily make this set of military armor, and he planned to go to the military camp to be his capital garrison general, and he also had to perform a basically impossible task, which was to take all the officers and soldiers up and down the city defense army into his own hands.
The emperor is getting older and more confused, and the deputy general Qin Zhong has already managed the city defense army to a monolith, why is he willing to serve him as soon as he goes to others? Are you kidding! Even if the king's overlord qi is dispersed, it is impossible for people to crawl under his feet.
Now Ren Xiaoyao can only pray, hoping that Qin Zhong will not embarrass him too much, or pat his ass first when he enters the barracks? Ren Xiaoyao was a little hesitant.
Throughout the ages, such a ridiculous thing as a boss slapping a subordinate on the back hasn't happened yet, right? Isn't the impact of setting this precedent by yourself not very good?
Frowning deeply, Ren Xiaoyao went out in hesitation.
Behind him are hundreds of guards and long-lost ...... Brother Killer.
Just in case, Ren Xiaoyao still thinks that it is better to bring more people around him, firstly, to give himself courage, and secondly, if there is any accident, they can protect themselves.
There are too many despicable people in these years, who knows if Qin Chong will secretly ambush five hundred sword and axe men outside the military tent? As soon as he gave the order, he rushed in and chopped him into a sauce of dog meat, and he couldn't put it together. After reading so many books and listening to so many stories, Ren Xiaoyao knows that many prominent historical figures have been chopped into dumpling stuffing so stupidly.
At the gate of Ren's mansion, Ren Xiaoyao raised his legs to board the carriage, and the moment he got into the carriage, the heroic General Ren suddenly turned his head, crying with a sad face, like a little pitiful, and said to the killer brother: "Boss, remember to protect me later!" Something is going to take me immediately, you know, I'm a fragile man......"
The killer's brother turned his head impatiently, and drove Ren Xiaoyao into the carriage like a fly, and the carriage moved, and hundreds of guards surrounded the carriage, heading towards the north of the city.
The city defense barracks in the north of the city are built against the tall and solid north city wall, far away from the bustling urban area, but still in the capital, the outside of the camp is surrounded by a wooden fence, enclosed into a large camp of more than ten miles, the city defense army has a total of more than 50,000 people, in addition to the necessary rotation to enter the city to patrol every day, most of the soldiers are training and living in this military camp.
Ren Yao's carriage traveled all the way to the gate of the tall and wide barracks, he stretched out his hand and lifted the corner of the curtain, and saw the military tent barracks that stretched for more than ten miles, and the soldiers who were lined up in neat queues. and the earth-shattering shouts of killing from the school field, before entering the barracks, Ren Xiaoyao felt a chilling aura of slaughter coming to his face, which made people tremble.
Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but shudder when he sat in the carriage, and his face was like earth.
Damn it! 50,000 horses. Each person can drown Lao Tzu alive by sprinkling a soak of urine. The emperor actually wants me to take them into his hands, how can I control them? Bribe them? I wonder if if I call the girls from the Qinglou under my name to comfort them, will they think that I am a kind and humane boss?
After hesitating for a moment, Ren Xiaoyao finally decided to give up this plan. 50,000 people are on one by one, and the girls in the Qinglou under Lao Tzu will be killed by them in turn, this business is too loss-making, don't do it!
When the carriage arrived in front of the gate, he saw a lieutenant walking out of the soldiers guarding the gate. Raised his hand and shouted: "Come and stay here!" The barracks are important, no trespassing! ”
The voice was high-pitched, faintly with a bit of murderous aura.
Ren Xiaoyao was frightened in the carriage again, lifted the curtain and said to the killer brother: "Hey, did you hear that?" People won't let them in, or they won't ...... Let's go back and don't upset people...... Look, that guy looks so fierce......"
The killer brother glanced at him with disdain, and said coldly: "You are their general." What are you afraid of? ”
Afraid of what? What a fresh question! Lao Tzu, this broken general, was sealed by the emperor, who knows if Qin Chong can buy the emperor's face? If he doesn't buy it, as soon as I go back to the barracks, he will cut off my head and make a pledge flag, and I will die unjustly!
He hesitated. There is no way, the city defense army must be grasped in their hands, and they can hide from the first day of junior high school, but they can't hide from the fifteenth.
So Ren Xiaoyao lifted the curtain. Standing on the wheel of the carriage, he said condescendingly: "I am the general of the capital garrison." I was ordered by the emperor to come here to take office, this is my waist card and the appointment document of the military department. ”
The captain guarding the gate froze when he heard this, exchanged a few glances with his soldiers, and then stepped forward, holding Ren Yao's waist card and documents with both hands, and then said loudly: "Please wait a moment, mark the entry into the camp and check the waist card documents, and then invite the general to enter the camp." ”
Ren Xiaoyao nodded, and the lieutenant held the waist card and paperwork and ran into the camp quickly.
Ren Xiaoyao deliberately observed the faces of the soldiers guarding the gate, and found that they looked at him expressionlessly, and some doubts flashed in their eyes from time to time, as if questioning why the emperor would send such a weak young man to be their leading general, and the eyes that looked at Ren Xiaoyao were a little contemptuous and guarded.
Ren Xiaoyao observed for a long time, the more he looked at it, the more his heart sank, and he knew that the whole leopard was in his eyes, and the soldiers guarding the gate had no respect for themselves in their expressions, and there was a bit of defensiveness in their eyes, so we could know what attitude the soldiers of the entire barracks would have towards themselves. It seems that it is a chore to take office this time.
After waiting for a pillar of incense for about an hour, there was a sudden loud "bang" in the barracks, Ren Xiaoyao stood on the wheel, and he couldn't help but fall backwards in fright, but the killer brother stretched out his hand behind him and helped him, so he didn't lose face in front of the soldiers.
"In broad daylight, who, who fires artillery?" Ren Yaoyao's eyes looked around, his expression was uncertain, his legs were slightly bent, and he looked like the situation was not right, and he was immediately ready to run away.
The killer brother glared at him with disdain, and said coldly: "This is the sound of gold in the barracks, signaling the soldiers to stop drilling, you don't even know this, how to be a general?" ”
Do you think Lao Tzu is willing to be this broken general? Ren Xiaoyao was a little annoyed and angry.
Immediately afterwards, a dull drum sounded, dull and rapid, as fast as raindrops, like thunder.
Then only the sound of neat footsteps was heard, and the gate of the barracks suddenly opened, and thousands of soldiers lined up in two neat lines, the line was very long, stretching all the way to the wide school field in the camp, stretching for several miles.
The last group of people dressed as generals dressed in armor appeared in Ren Xiaoyao's sight, and they also lined up according to the size of their positions in the army, led by a middle-aged man who looked like a deputy general, with a dark face, starry eyes and sword eyebrows, a solemn expression, and no anger and self-authority.
Ren Xiaoyao took a closer look, this person was Qin Chong, who had a relationship with him.
Judging by their actions, they should have led their troops out of the camp to meet them.
Ren Xiaoyao thought that he would be snubbed when he entered the barracks, but he didn't expect Qin Chong to be quite interesting enough to put on such a grand welcome ceremony, which made Ren Xiaoyao a little flattered.
Seeing the generals walking towards him, Ren Xiaoyao didn't dare to hold it up, so he quickly jumped out of the carriage and stepped forward with a smile on his face.
The generals marched in front of Ren Xiaoyao, clasped their fists and saluted together, and said in unison: "See General Ren!" ”
Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly returned the salute and smiled: "Be polite, the generals are exempt, this official ...... Ahem, General Ben really doesn't dare to be it! ”
Qin Zhong glanced at Ren Xiaoyao, his solemn expression did not change at all, and he said firmly: "The general came to the military camp in person, and the last general should greet him." ”
Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he heard this.
The emperor decreed that he had been appointed as a garrison general for several months, and today was the first time he had come to office.
"General Qin's words are serious, hehe, hehe...... General Ben has been busy with the affairs of the DPRK and China, and he can't be separated for a moment, so that he has only come to the barracks to take up his post now, and General Ben is really ashamed! These days, General Lao Qin is in charge of the affairs of the labor camp, and the general is grateful, General Qin, you have worked hard! Look, you're much thinner and darker than the last time I saw you, and the barracks are miserable, right? Is the food okay? You have to be careful......"
Ren Xiaoyao looked at Qin Zhong distressedly as if he was looking at a long-lost lover, the affection and lingering in his eyes, the eagerness and concern in his words, made the generals standing on the side creepy and shuddered, and the eyes that looked at Ren Xiaoyao were suddenly full of weirdness.
It's not just those generals who are creepy, Ren Xiaoyao himself is so disgusted that he can't help but want to vomit, damn! Others use Huairou's means to be so smooth, in one go, Lao Tzu said a few words of Huairou like the old bustard in the fucking kiln, coquettish!
What a gap!
Ren Xiaoyao felt a little helpless in his heart. Lao Tzu is not born to be a politician!
Hearing Ren Xiaoyao's sensual words of concern, Qin Chongman shook his body uncomfortably, as if shaking off goosebumps all over his body, and then the corners of his mouth pulled, and he laughed, and then hugged his fist at Ren Xiaoyao heavily, and said awe-inspiringly: "The general is polite, this is what the last general should do, general, please enter the camp!" ”
Ren Xiaoyao was just about to continue to set porcelain with him, but he saw the generals and soldiers around him salute him in unison, and after the sound of a neat armor blade, all the generals and soldiers suddenly shouted in unison: "General, please enter the camp!" ”
The sound was like thunder on the ground, resounding through the sky.
Ren Xiaoyao was defenseless, his legs were so frightened that his legs were weak, and he stumbled when he looked up, but fortunately, the killer brother was quick and helped him from behind, and after standing still, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly felt a burst of wetness in his crotch, cold and uncomfortable.
Damn it! Co-authors scare me? Lao Tzu remembered!
After the generals under his command and Ren Xiaoyao greeted each other, everyone separated into two rows, let Ren Xiaoyao and Qin Chong walk in the front, and everyone walked towards the wide school field.
Ren Xiaoyao walked in fright, and kept looking left and right, for fear that a person would suddenly come out of the soldiers who welcomed him to assassinate him, he was next to Qin Chong, and made up his mind in his heart, if someone really assassinated, Lao Tzu had to grab Qin Chong for anything, and let him block the knife for Lao Tzu.
Throughout the ages, the generals who were so weak and scared in office were the number one in Ren Yao.
Qin Chong didn't seem to be aware of Ren Xiaoyao's scared appearance, and walking on the road to the school, Qin Chong said in a deep voice: "Later, please ask General Ren to come to the general's platform, say a few words for the soldiers, and let the soldiers know the general, I don't know what the general thinks?" ”
Ren Xiaoyao was in a mess at this time, and nodded absentmindedly when he heard the words: "Okay, good ......"
Entering this military camp today, although the attitude of the generals towards him was a little distant and defensive, Qin Zhong looked like a businessman, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he behaved like a subordinate who did not speak much but was conscientious, and he did not embarrass his boss at all, which made Ren Xiaoyao's heart even more suspicious.
Qin Chong is the prince's person, that's right, but why is he behaving like this? I made it clear that I was here to receive his men and territory, and why didn't he react with any hostility? Could it be that he still has a trick waiting for me?
Ren Xiaoyao looked at Qin Zhong suspiciously, this guy is unfathomable, and he is about to catch up with me!
Near the school field, next to the point platform that is more than two feet high, there are two cowhide drums as big as waterwheels, seeing Ren Xiaoyao and others approaching, more than a dozen naked strong men around the big drum waved the drumsticks in their hands, and began to beat the drums. The drums beat muffled, not in a hurry.
When the soldiers who were practicing on the school field heard the sound of drums, they immediately stopped the drill, and then a low horn sounded like a whimper, and the soldiers on the school field heard the military order. quickly found their respective teams, lined up in a neat queue in the shortest possible time, and looked at the Dianjiangtai of the predecessor without squinting.
From stopping the drill to assembling and marching, the soldiers behaved silently and quickly. No one said a word more. There was no one making noise, and everything was going on in an orderly manner according to the rules of discipline in the army.
Ren Xiaoyao observed all this attentively, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
This is a crack army, as you can tell from their performance. If they can serve the emperor and fight for the country, after tempering, this will be an iron-blooded army.
Conversely, if they aid in the abuse. For the use of the crown prince, he turned the spearhead at the emperor, and if he committed chaos, this would be a tiger and wolf army that would make the people suffer deeply. They will be like a pack of unchained, unfettered beasts, baring their fangs, relentlessly biting at any obstacle that dares to stand in their way. (To be continued.) )
