"Boom—"

The thunder sounded, and the heavy rain suddenly poured down, Zhang Xiaowu secretly screamed in his heart that he was unlucky, but he didn't expect it to rain suddenly at this time. Some time ago, there was a great drought in the north, but now the rain makes the people happy, and it can also cool off. He hurriedly walked into the doorway, and the other royal guards looked at him and didn't dare to speak, Zhang Xiaowu saw this, smiled and spoke first, and asked, "Do you still have your face towel?" ”

A commander of the Imperial Forest Army hurriedly said: "General Hui, there is nothing here." ”

Zhang Xiaowu praised: "I didn't expect you to do such a good job in epidemic prevention." ”

Several royal forest soldiers looked at each other, Zhang Xiaowu pointed to their face towels, and the chief of the country cried and laughed: "We are wearing face towels, we can't be opposite the palace maids and concubines, not epidemic prevention." ”

Zhang Xiaowu was suddenly surprised, but with a face towel, what if an assassin mixed in. But it's impossible to think about it, the defense of the palace is stricter than that of the imperial city, not to mention ordinary people, even martial arts masters can't enter the palace. The palace did everything possible to prevent the palace maids from having personal affairs with the Imperial Forest Army, and it was also for this reason that they wore face scarves.

At this time, the chief attendant and others rushed over with umbrellas, although the Imperial Forest Army and the eunuch were not a system, but the chief hurriedly introduced this person with a respectful attitude.

Zhang Xiaowu thought that they were looking for the emperor, but the chief chamberlain came to find him, and the chief manager also knew that the emperor was resting in the emperor's bed at this time, so he lowered his voice and stepped forward to congratulate him: "Our family is here to congratulate General Li He Xi General Li, looking at the many courtiers of the Holy Han Dynasty, you are the first person to receive such a grace, and General Li will not be able to take care of our family in the future." General Li, we have sent your imperial guard waist badge and clothing, but you can bring your own weapons. In addition, this is a year's salary, a total of eight hundred taels, General Li, please smile. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "A year's salary, this is interesting, is it paid in advance?" ”

The chief manager turned around and said, "Come to Xi, you can help General Li lead it." ”

"Yes." Lai Xi hurriedly said, took the clothes and silver, and the manager personally handed over the jade plate to Zhang Xiaowu.

Zhang Xiaowu took the jade plaque and looked carefully at it turned out to be a Pisces jade pendant, but it was written in the middle "Imperial Guard with a Knife", and the back was engraved with the words "Yongzhou Zhang Xiaowu", it seems that this jade pendant was just engraved, and the chief eunuch personally sent it. People took the initiative to show their goodwill, Zhang Xiaowu naturally agreed, and said busily: "Please ask my father-in-law's name, I still need to trouble my father-in-law in the future." ”

The manager smiled: "Our family is called Gou Delu." ”

Zhang Xiaowu was stunned, this surname Gou is not very easy to call, you can't call someone Gou's father-in-law, it sounds like a curse......

Manager Gou knew what he was thinking, so he said with a smile: "The general can call me Father-in-law Lu, and when our family was a little eunuch, some people called me Little Luzi." ”

Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Lu forgives me." ”

Manager Gou squinted his eyes and said: "Our family's surname is not taken by ourselves, after all, it is passed down from our ancestors, not to mention the surname Gou, it is the surname death, the surname fart, our family also has to inherit it, right?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu laughed, this manager has a set of skills in speaking and treating people, no wonder he will become the head of the internal service.

Manager Gou didn't say much, and after presenting the objects, he took people away, but left Laixi to stand aside. Zhang Xiaowu saw that he was shivering from the cold, so he gave him his cloak next. Lai Xi hurriedly excused himself and said that he didn't dare, Zhang Xiaowu ordered: "This is an order from the Captain of the Divine Marksman to the soldiers of Tucheng, do you dare to disobey?" Laixi was moved, so he took the cloak and put it on his body.

Shi Chang said in a low voice: "General, Gonggong Lu is not so good to everyone, it seems that you are destined." ”

Zhang Xiaowu knew that he was patting himself on the back, but he had a relationship with a eunuch, so it didn't sound good.

After a while, another wave of Imperial Forest Army came to change the guard, and the new Royal Forest Army naturally knew the name of the ghost general Zhang Xiaowu, and they peeped with their eyes, but they didn't dare to look blatantly, and they didn't dare to talk to him.

The new commander of the Imperial Forest Army is not a talkative person, and Zhang Xiaowu is also lacking in interest, but the Royal Forest Army can change the guard and rest, but he can't, so he has to lean on the doorway and listen to the sound of the rain.

After another hour, the rain stopped, and it should be midnight at this time, a little eunuch suddenly opened the palace door of the dormitory, and said respectfully: "General Zhang, Your Majesty has called you over for questioning." ”

"Your Majesty woke up?"

"Just woke up."

Zhang Xiaowu took Laixi and followed the little eunuch into the dormitory, bypassing the two rockeries, and then came to the emperor's bed where the emperor slept.

There was no one around the emperor's bed, it was very quiet, and there was a eunuch standing at the door, and he opened the door directly after seeing Zhang Xiaowu. Zhang Xiaowu walked in and saw the interior of the imperial bedroom for the first time, but the imperial bedroom was not so magnificent, the interior was only pale yellow, and the floor on the ground had a modern feeling, which was the first time he saw the floor in this era, and there was a sense of intimacy.

Zhang Xiaowu saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has arrived." ”

Emperor Dade sat on the bed, draped the quilt on his body, and said with a smile: "You should have been standing for a long time, let's sit, I slept too well this night, and when I woke up, I suddenly thought that you were still standing outside." ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty only slept for two hours, which is not a long time. ”

Emperor Dade said: "Is it only two hours? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Yes, Your Majesty is not sleeping well, and it needs to be improved slowly." ”

Emperor Dade smiled bitterly: "The imperial doctors have seen it many times, but I still can't cure the disease of lack of sleep, I have slept a lot today, and I only slept for an hour in the past and I was not sleepy." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "How much sleep determines how much energy you have the next day, if Your Majesty can't sleep, you can also close your eyes and listen to the wind and rain." ”

Emperor Dade smiled: "What is it to listen to the wind and distinguish the rain? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "The so-called listening to the wind and distinguishing the rain refers to the level of the wind and the level of the rain, the wind has twelve levels, and the first-level wind is the frivolous smoke, which is the weakest wind; The secondary wind is the light movement of the leaves; The three-level wind is the swaying of the leaves and the unfurling of the flag; Four-level winds are sand grains flying and dusty; The fifth-level wind is the small trees swinging, and the water is rippling; The sixth-level wind is that the branches of the trees are shaking, and it is difficult to lift an umbrella; Category 7 winds are difficult to walk and the trees are shaking; The eighth-level wind breaks the branches of the trees, and the people who carry umbrellas fly; The ninth-level wind tiles blew away, and the wooden house collapsed; Category 10 winds uproot trees and earthen houses blow down; The eleventh level wind is the collapse of masonry houses, and the sky and the earth are dark; Twelve winds can destroy everything, and everything will not exist. ”

Emperor Dade was surprised and said, "The level of these twelve winds is set by your master?" ”

"It's true that it's taught by the family teacher, but it's not set by the master, and the minister doesn't know." Zhang Xiaowu said, "Maybe the ancients have already recorded it, and the family teacher is only well-informed, so he casually taught me. ”

"Interesting, interesting."
