Chapter 6: The Sting (Part 9)

Back in the barracks, Wang Xun immediately devoted himself to the training of his brothers. As a righteous little guy, he didn't dare to let the second team of the Seventh Brigade perform too badly in the upcoming school review. Because in his opinion, if the brothers in this team are not angry, it is not only about the face of Fourth Uncle Feng, but also worthy of Zhou Laohu, Zhao Huaixu and others who have taken care of him for a long time.

Similarly, because Wang Xun was righteous and generous, the brothers of the Second Brigade of the Seventh Brigade of the New Barracks also gave him a positive impression of the team. The daily training was completed with quality and quantity, and even reached the highest level in the whole camp in terms of individual subjects. Zhou Xiaofeng, the captain of the new barracks, grinned, blew whenever he met people, he knew people well, and cultivated a team of elites for the Flying Dragon Praetorian Guard. Secretly, in terms of material supply and allocation, it is also more and more inclined to the second team of the new Seventh Brigade. Envious of the other teams of the same brigade, everyone was blue-eyed, and secretly scolded Zhou Laohu every day.

After a few days, the review began as scheduled. His Majesty the Emperor was unable to come in person because of temporary matters, but he sent the crown prince Li Heng to lead a group of civil and military officers to inspect the results of the training of the Flying Dragon Guard. The uncle of the Qin brothers, as well as Ma Fang's father, were also among them. Although these two people don't have a good impression of Wang Xun, at the critical moment, they still take care of a little bit of incense on the faces of their juniors. Quietly commented on a few words on the side, which immediately made the crown prince Li Heng's eyes focus on the team where Ma Fang and Wang Xun were.

There were elders watching from the platform, and Wang Xun and Ma Fang also did their best, and the training results of the past few months were extraordinarily played to twelve points. After the proofreading, Wang Xun's No. 2 Team of the New Seventh Brigade and Ma Fang's No. 4 Team of the New No. 5 Brigade stood out and entered the top five of the battalion. Wang Xun was promoted again because of his meritorious service in assisting his boss in training the soldiers of his team, and his title became the captain of Zhengqipin Shangzhiguo. After the completion of the recruits' training, they will be alternated according to the specific situation of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army. Ma Fang was recognized as the son of a member of the dynasty, so he gave up his clothes and food at a young age, and took the initiative to serve the country in the army, and was praised by His Royal Highness the Prince. On the spot, he was given a waist card, and Mingguang armor was collared, and after the whole training was over, he could go to the East Palace to take up a job. (Note 1)

Other officers and non-commissioned officers who performed well in the whole training also received various rewards such as promotions, armor awards, and bounties. The order was announced, and the audience thundered. I completely forgot that half a year ago, everyone privately scolded Feng Changqing and Gao Lishi, the two old guys, 'looking for nothing to do, and changing their ways to toss people'.

At the end of the review, almost every trainee was elated. The recruits immediately looked forward to the rest of the camp so that they could share the joy in their hearts with their families. The veterans transferred from the Flying Dragon Guards and Anxi Town are looking forward to the early disbandment of the team, so that everyone can return to the army with their newly acquired positions to seek real shortages. It's just that the two coaches who have always acted neatly suddenly dragged on again at this time. He only ordered the captains of each regiment to lead his subordinates to continue training and consolidate the previous achievements, but he was slow to announce the whereabouts of the group.

Once it is consolidated, it is a month and a half, and even a person with a calm temperament is a little impatient to wait. Everyone knew that Wang Xun and Ma Fang could keep up with them, so they went around the bush to find them and begged the two of them to go to Zhou Laohu to inquire about the situation. Wang Xun and Ma Fang were also so anxious that they scratched their hearts, and after thinking for a while, they found an excuse and walked towards the position of the Chinese army.

Who expected that Zhou Laohu, who had always been very talkative, suddenly straightened his face this time. First, the king and the horse were severely beaten, so that they should not be pampered and arrogant, and forget the rules of the barracks. Then, looking at the helpless appearance of the two, he couldn't help but soften his heart, sighed, and said in a low voice: "You two have inquired more." Even I, I only know a rough idea. Go back and wait for Xin'er, this kind of thing is not something that our martial artists should be involved in, so the farther away the better! ”

"The farther away the better?" Wang Xun and Ma Fang looked at each other, and they both saw strong doubts in each other's eyes. Not like everyone else is ignorant of the current situation. The reason why the two of them first entered the barracks was to avoid the unpredictable situation in the Beijing Division. With a stomach full of doubts, the two left the Chinese army sullenly. Walking on the road, he couldn't hold back any longer, and talked in a low voice.

"Didn't Li Xiang and Yang Guozhong shake hands and make peace?" Thinking that Ma Fang's news was better than his own, Wang Xun frowned and asked.

"How do I know?" Pony Fang's face was full of innocence, "I haven't been home in almost two months. Even if I can go back, with my grandfather's temperament, will I tell me what he knows? ”

"That's just as well!" Wang Xun nodded, then shook his head slightly, "It's not over yet." It's bad luck for everyone! ”

Zhang Xun said that the constant infighting among the powerful ministers in the court is really not the blessing of the society and the people. Wang Xun and Ma Fang are both sons of nobles, and their concern for the community and the people is far less than their own vital interests. The resurgence of the storm in the court means that the shops that the two of them have opened together in the city will be affected. The situation is restless, which means that the two of them will not be able to leave White Horse Fort for a day, and they will not be able to fulfill their most urgent wishes.

"Second brother, do you think Zida knows a little more than we do?! Why don't we go to him? The task was not completed, and he was unwilling to go back like this and be complained by everyone, so the Ma side hesitated for a moment and proposed again.

"Well, it's been a long time since I've seen him!" Wang Xun thought about it and nodded in agreement. Yuwen Zhi is now Feng Changqing's personal soldier, and as the henchman of the main general, he will definitely be able to hear a lot of unknown inside information.

After thinking about this section, the two immediately turned their heads to find Yu Wenzhi. It took a lot of effort to find the other party at the quartermaster's place. Before he could explain his intentions, he was poured a scoop of cold water on his head. "You two, what's going on with this bone's eye? Don't think you're eye-catching enough? Hurry back to their respective barracks, and go to the Chinese army without anything! ”

"Hey! What do you mean kid? Ma Fang immediately turned cold, opened his throat, and asked loudly. just climbed the high branches, so I think our brothers are embarrassed, right?! Who is looking for you rarely, we are just here to see, have some people been arrested and put in prison? ”

"Be quiet!" Yuwen was so angry that his eyes smoked, "Don't take kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs!" If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to remind him! Don't look at what time it is? Everyone else can hide as far as they want, you take the initiative to get to the fire! ”

"Okay, okay, you're amazing, okay! Second brother, let's go! The more Ma Fang spoke, the more angry he became, and he pulled Wang Xun and prepared to leave.

"I'm really ......." Yuwen Zhi saw that Wang Xun's face also began to turn gloomy, stepped forward and grabbed Ma Fang's arm, "Do you really think that Your Majesty's training of the Flying Dragon Guards is to reshape the Jingshi's armament?" Let's be honest, we people have become children on someone else's chessboard since we entered the White Horse Fort camp! ”

"What did you say?" As Wang Xun and Ma Fang, who have always regarded White Horse Fort as a refuge, Yu Wenzhi's words are tantamount to a bolt from the blue. Both of them widened their eyes, and they couldn't believe that the other party was stating a fact!

"I thought you would be more or less aware of it?!" Yuwen Zhi sneered in a low voice, looked around, and continued to add: "This is not the place to talk, come with me!" You two, when will you be able to change this kind of temperament that lives today and doesn't care about tomorrow! ”

Wang Xun and Ma Fang were so pouted by Yuwen Zhishu that they couldn't help but follow each other, turned around and came to a room where the baggage was stacked. Yuwenzhi opened the door, walked in first and examined it, then poked his head out and waved lightly at the two friends, "Come in, there's no one here." I'll make it clear to you once again, so that you don't have to be a villain in vain! ”

"You're not a gentleman in the first place!" Seeing Yuwenzhi's solemn appearance, Ma Fang had already believed it in his heart, pursed his lips, and scolded in a low voice.

Before the change, Yuwen Zhi would definitely have to ridicule each other. This time, there was a rare lack of revenge. Led the two into the room, carefully covered the door, and then said in a very low voice, "Have you two thought about it?" Why did Colliers rescue me last year, and Li Linfu's side immediately died down?! Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong have been fighting for a year or two, why does the one in the Taiji Palace always pretend to be deaf and dumb? As soon as he ascended the throne, he was so easy to be fooled by his subordinates, except for Princess Taiping? ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......." When it comes to the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xun and Ma Fang are not as casual as Yuwenzhi, and unconsciously, they have already used honorifics. Your Majesty is too lazy to ask about the government because he loves the concubine! This is the unanimous opinion of the people, but now that it is said that it is obviously a bit unreliable.

"Does it mean, Your Majesty, that Your Majesty lacks the power to be deployed?" Suddenly thinking of an answer, Wang Xun himself was startled, and as soon as the words came out, he immediately covered his mouth with his hand.

"Humph!" Yu Wenzhi continued to sneer, but his face showed a bit of appreciation, "At least, Your Majesty, he is not completely sure to control the situation. Li Linfu has been in power for more than ten years, and has forced the prince to be unable to protect himself several times. Jingzhao Yin Wang Ji was also the ambassador of Gyeonggi and Guannai to cover the deposed She, and held all the forces in the Gyeonggi area except for the forbidden army in his hands, but he was at odds with Li Linfu. And the Praetorian Guard is just rotten again, and whoever is the one in the Taiji Palace will probably be ........"

Got it all. Got it all. In an instant, Wang Xun was as if he had been struck by lightning, and his eyes were white and bright.

In fact, Yuwen didn't say any inside story today, but he was more attentive than everyone else, and slowly dressed up what had happened in the past six months or so.

In the autumn, Gao Xianzhi sent Feng Changqing into the court to offer prisoners. Knowing that the Anxi army had just experienced a fiasco on the banks of the Gangros River, the one in the Taiji Palace still made a mistake and left Feng Shuai and the veterans of the hundred battles who had been killed in the pile of dozens of dead people under his command in the capital!

Immediately afterwards, Li Linfu challenged Yang Guozhong through Wang Jie, but he couldn't do it because of Gao Lishi's sudden intervention.

Gao Lishi and Feng Changqing were ordered to reorganize the Flying Dragon Guard, in fact, it was equivalent to re-arresting this almost abandoned force into the hands of His Majesty the Emperor himself.

Immediately, the Wyvern Praetorian Guards were strengthened through open recruitment and rigorous training.

Some people began to speculate on the position of His Majesty the Emperor. Someone began to waver, someone began to quietly change their choice. Only Wang Zhun is a stupid man, at this juncture, he still uses the power of his father to fake the tiger.

No, that stupid guy is not a fox and a fake tiger at all, but a dog jumping off the wall. The few gentlemen who went to Bai Jingzhi to drink and have fun must have heard some shocking secrets, so several of them died one after another. Just in case, Wang Zhun must control Bai Jingzhi.

But he never expected that at the critical moment, he inserted a pole out of thin air, killed two of the three assassins sent by Wang Zhun and captured one alive.

The surviving Assassin vanished after entering the White Horse Castle.

A clash outside the south gate of Chang'an undoubtedly exposed the true situation of the power in the hands of King Ji of Jingzhao Yin. Corresponding to the strength in Wang Jie's hands, the Flying Dragon Praetorian Guard was reborn under Feng Changqing's training.

Now, the Flying Dragon Guard's school review has ended, and the real situation must have been sent into the depths of the palace through the mouth of the prince. The Saint Son in the Taiji Palace was already completely in control of the situation at this time!

Therefore, the sword of the Wyvern Guard hangs but does not fall. As soon as it falls, it will bleed and drift!

The things he had experienced for more than half a year shook one after another in front of his eyes, making Wang Xun's face pale and cold sweat on his forehead. He found that it was really too simple, and it was indeed like Yu Wenzhi's reprimand, after today, regardless of tomorrow! I have long been in the whirlpool, and I have experienced almost every detail of it, but I have always been ignorant and ignorant of the danger.

Standing beside Wang Xun, Ma Fang was also dumbfounded at the moment. On the day of the review, he got a waist card from His Royal Highness the Prince, and he was also cheering for it. Unexpectedly, from the moment he took over the waist card, he had dragged his family directly into this power struggle!

The dragon and tiger in the capital division, the loser, must die without a place to be buried.

He and Wang Xun were both involved in a daze, and their footsteps fell deeper and deeper, and they fell deeper and deeper, but they were as ignorant as sleepwalking.

He and Wang Xun are like two chess pieces. Standing between black and white, he didn't know that with a slight wave of his hand, the ruler could sweep them all to the ground and fall to pieces.

In fact, at this moment, they are all little children, innocent and kind little children!

Note 1: Beishen, the personal attendant military attache of the emperor and the crown prince. The rank is a thousand cattle guard generals, thousands of cattle are prepared, left and right, prepared, and the main battle, respectively, from the third general to the seventh rank with a sword guard. The actual power is not much, but because of being by the side of the emperor and the prince, there are many opportunities for promotion.
