Chapter 6: The Sting (Part 10)
Chapter 6: The Sting (Ten Ups)
When the hand in the darkness reaches out, as a pawn, there is nowhere to escape.
Just when Wang Xun and Ma Fang were shocked by the vaguely guessed truth, a "immature" voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Captain Yuwen, is Captain Yuwen here?" The general is looking for you! ”
"It's here, it's here, it's coming soon!" Yu Wenzhi's face immediately turned pale, and while agreeing, he stuffed Wang Xun and Ma Fang behind the heavy stacks. Before the latter two could understand his intentions, the door was kicked open from the outside, and a very good-looking man strode in.
"Captain Yuwen, it turns out that you are here, let our family find it easily!" The person who came was clearly a man, but his voice was softer than that of a woman. A complaint was full of anger and anger, which made Wang Xun and Ma Fang's stomachs roll for a while.
"No, the two of them complained that the weapons were not in hand, and begged me to help them change them! You go first, and I'll come later! For the same tiresome voice, Yuwen Zhi has long been surprised. He smiled, stretched out his arm and walked out with the other party.
"It's Captain Wang and Deputy Lieutenant Ma. So you two are here, too. The person who came unceremoniously patted Yu Wenzhi's arm away and said with a smile. It's just right, so that our family has to run around. Let's go to the Chinese army with Captain Yuwen and stand by, the high hussars are waiting there! ”
Hearing this, Yuwen was in a hurry, blocked the door with his body, and asked in a deep voice: "Cheng, Cheng Menling, the general didn't personally order the general!" (Note 1)
"What, Captain Yuwen questioned our family's use of chicken feathers as arrows?" The eunuch surnamed Cheng's face immediately turned cold, and his eyebrows rose straight to the depths of his scalp, "The hussar general has an order, anyone who knows the inside story will either join the Chinese army and stand by, and they must be temporarily locked up in a criminal prison camp to prevent leakage." Just now our family called you, and these two brothers heard it. If you don't ask them to go to the Chinese army together, do you want our family to send them to the prison camp to suffer? ”
"You!" Yuwen gritted his teeth with hatred, but he couldn't find fault with the other party's words. Seeing that his good friend did not hesitate to offend the eunuchs beside Gao Lishi for himself, Wang Xun was very moved, and all kinds of dissatisfaction with Yu Wenzhi were thrown out of the clouds, took half a step forward, and said with a smile: "Since Gao Hussar has an order, Wang will naturally not embarrass Lord Cheng." However, this Ma brother is a person favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, and once he makes a mistake in the execution of the task, he is not beautiful. I also asked Master Cheng to help me think of a way to save him from this errand, how about it?! ”
After that, he continued to step forward and stood side by side with Yuwenzhi.
After months of tempering, his body was as solid as a stone. Standing in front of the eunuch surnamed Cheng, he blocked the other party's way tightly. The eunuch surnamed Cheng originally wanted to embarrass the three of them, looking at Yuwen Zhi's cold eyes, and then at Wang Xunpu's big fan-like hands, he suddenly felt a little afraid in his heart. He raised his orchid finger and said softly: "Oh, if it weren't for Captain Wang's reminder, our family would have almost forgotten that Deputy Lieutenant Ma had already received the East Palace Reserve Waist Card." If you don't go, don't go, anyway, this camp is very empty, just hide in it for a few days, don't walk around and talk nonsense! ”
"I'm with you two!" Ma Fang refused to cherish the opportunity that Wang Xun and Yu Wenzhi fought for him to get out, and strode forward and stood close to Wang Xun's shoulder. "Second brother, I'll go with you. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, we brothers deserve it together! ”
"Look, look, Brother Ma is really righteous. Our family has always been envious, we haven't made such a good friend! Seeing that Ma Fang didn't know what to do, the eunuch surnamed Cheng immediately fanned the flames.
"Ma boy, you stay in the camp well, don't mix blindly!" Yuwen was furious, and reached out to grab Ma Fang's arm.
"Let go!" Ma Fang unceremoniously crossed his arm, "You are not my Lao Tzu, why arrange it for me." I'm going to do this errand. If anyone dares to stop me, I will go to the hussars myself and ask for help. ”
"You stupid ......." Yu Wenzhi was angry and moved. Knowing that he couldn't persuade Ma Fang, he had to signal to Wang Xun with his eyes.
"Let him go with him. I'll just protect him! Wang Xun glanced at Ma Fang and made a decision with a smile. He found that Ma Boy had also grown up, and he no longer needed to be everyone's followers. How to choose, this person naturally knows in his heart.
Since Wang Xun also supported Ma Fang to go with him, Yuwen Zhi had no choice but to dodge and get out of the way. The eunuch surnamed Cheng was in front, and the three brothers followed closely, trotting, and entered the main hall of the Chinese army in a blink of an eye.
In the hall of the Chinese army, Gao Lishi and Feng Changqing sat on the left and right sides of the handsome position. On the left and right sides, according to the rank of the official, there are fifty or sixty flying dragon guards and officers of Anxi Town. Seeing Wang Xun, Ma Fang, and Yuwen Zhi rushing in, Feng Changqing's eyebrows jumped at an extremely slight amplitude, and then he said with a smile: "Since you are all here, just stand on both sides and wait." Other brothers will be coming soon! ”
"No!" The three teenagers arched their hands, and each went to their proper position, standing in solemnity.
The veterans of the Anxi Army are almost all here, including Zhou Laohu, who was in a hurry to drive everyone away just now! On the day of the review, almost all of the brothers in the recruit camp who performed well were also named and entered one after another to wait. Not long after standing in the main hall of the Chinese army, Wang Xun felt the basic situation. Sure enough, as Yuwen Zhi said before, the Flying Dragon Guard is a strange soldier laid out by His Majesty the Emperor in advance. It took the old eunuch half a year to completely master this elite. Now that the knife has been sharpened, it's almost the target to be slashed at.
Just as he was thinking nonsense, more soldiers were passed in. Everyone didn't know what was going on, and they were ordered to stand in two columns on the left and right, their eyes constantly wandering around. Seeing this situation, Feng Changqing couldn't help coughing, frowned and scolded: "What do you see, after more than half a year of training, the order prohibits the four words, haven't you learned it yet?" ”
When everyone heard this, their faces turned pale. Hurriedly put away the doubts in their eyes, straightened their chests and backs, and stood as neatly as two rows of wooden stakes.
"Huh! General Feng is too strict with them! At the critical moment, Gao Lishi suddenly became kind again, "It's because our family didn't make it clear, so it's no wonder that they are confused." ”
"Hmmm! Then ask General Gao to give the order. Feng Changqing arched his hand and took the initiative to ask the other party to take a seat.
Gao Lishi did not refuse, stood up, strode behind the handsome case, cleared his throat, and asked with a smile: "Do you brothers, can you remember, what is the military training of our Flying Dragon Guard?" ”
"Wyvern Guard, Son of Heaven!" The cronies who had already arranged in advance tore their throats and shouted out the military training that the Flying Dragon Guards had to recite every day, "The Flying Dragon Guards, the minions of the Son of Heaven!" Although he had to shout several times a day, suddenly speaking in unison with so many familiar or unfamiliar people, Wang Xun suddenly felt a wave of pride in his heart.
"Daoshan dares to move forward, and the sea of fire does not retreat. Dead in name, loyal through the ages! More than 100 officers and soldiers who had entered the Chinese army on standby shouted in unison, shaking the ceiling.
"Since everyone hasn't forgotten, then our family won't be too long-winded!" Gao Lishi pressed his hand down and stopped everyone's slogan, "It doesn't matter who recommended you in our family, who you have followed before." As long as you enter the gate of White Horse Fort, you are a personal soldier today. Once you hear Your Majesty's order, you must not care about life and death. Even if your biological brother and parents are in the way, you have to lift your feet and step over them! ”
In the last two sentences, his voice suddenly turned cold, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant. At this time, most of the soldiers felt that something was wrong with today's atmosphere, and they couldn't help but secretly complain in their hearts. I want to get out, but I'm completely old.
"What should the king do if someone refuses to obey the order?" Seeing the hesitant expressions on everyone's faces, Gao Lishi suddenly asked loudly.
"Behead it, show it to the public!" Wang Teng, who joined the army in Mingfa, immediately took half a step and responded loudly.
"Good!" Gao Lishi waved his hand and motioned for the other party to join the ranks, "Since the military law is clearly written, don't blame our family for being polite." Come, please give the sword of Shang Fang from the Son of Heaven. ”
"No!" Another eunuch of the inner palace agreed loudly, and raised a sword with a yellow scabbard in front of Gao Lishi with Qi Mei.
Gao Lishi smiled slightly, and raised Shang Fang's sword above his head with his right hand, "By the mouth of the Son of Heaven, the generals of the Flying Dragon Praetorian Guard will come forward to listen to the order!" ”
"The subordinates are here!" Feng Changqing was the first to stand up, walked in front of Gao Lishi, and stood solemnly with his fists clenched.
"The subordinates are here!" Immediately after, Zhou Xiaofeng, Li Yuanqin, Zhao Huaixu and other generals all stood behind Feng Changqing and solemnly listened to the order.
"The subordinates are here!" Several former Flying Dragon Praetorian Guard officers with obvious hesitation on their faces also stepped forward quickly, clasping their fists at Shang Fang's sword and saluting.
By now, it's too late for anyone to regret quitting, so they have to form a team in the hall of the Chinese army, but they pray silently one by one, hoping that Gao Lishi, the dead eunuch, still has a trace of conscience in his heart, and will not lead everyone to do the act of raiding the family and exterminating the clan!
As if he had guessed what everyone was afraid of, Gao Lishi smiled slightly, "The Son of Heaven dictated, the Hubu Langzhong Wang Xuan, the Longwu Junlang general Xing Wei, privately raised the dead, and plotted against him." With the hussar general Gao Lishi, the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu Feng Changqing, and the commander of the flying dragon guards. Chin this! ”
After that, he shook his wrist slightly, and the sword was unsheathed, "Gentlemen, Gao has been with His Majesty for nearly forty years, and he has never missed the slightest. Today, I am ordered to beg for thieves, please follow me forward, and work together to make contributions to Your Majesty and eliminate harm for the country! ”
"No!" Feng Changqing led the generals to agree in unison and bow down to receive the order!
Note 1: Wang Xun is the captain of the seventh-grade Zhiguo, and Yuwenzhi is the captain of the eighth-grade imperial martial arts. can all be called captains, with a difference of five levels in the middle. The official position of the eunuch surnamed Cheng is the door order, that is, the gatekeeper of the inner palace. The level is about six pins, which is much higher than the first two.
