Chapter 21: Old Friends of Wagang

Wu Meiniang's matter is temporarily over.

Qin Mubai recalled that from the original disciple hunting for beauty, to today's relationship with the emperor, this file is really twists and turns, thrilling.

It seems that Wu Meiniang's gorgeous rose is indeed not so easy to pick! Now although she has made an unbreakable marriage contract with herself, in fact, the two are only bound together by some "unspoken rules". Moreover, this rule is always dangerous. Not only that, although they are nominal husband and wife, it is not so simple for them to sit with her in this position - at least, they must first eliminate the sharp blade hanging over their heads.

The two really want to go together, or Qin Mubai really wants to get Wu Meiniang, it's not as easy as it seems on the surface.

"It's challenging, I like it."

In the following days, Qin Mubai officially started his new job in Wu Wangfu. After less than a day of drying, he was replaced by a lieutenant, a position that was obviously much more interesting than the sacrificial wine.

At least now he has 200 large soldiers under his command, which is far more than the people in charge of the sacrificial wine in the East Pavilion, and the power is also greater.

There were 800 soldiers in the entire Wu Palace, divided into four regiments, and commanded by four captains. There are two Zhengwupin Dianjun on it, and they are the highest-ranking military commanders in the palace.

Of course, the main thing to do is to protect the prince and be responsible for the security of the palace.

Qin Mubai, who was appointed as a lieutenant on the first day, came to the subordinate official of Wu Wangfu very early. The two brigade commanders had already assembled their men and were waiting for him here.

Qin Mubai was happy when he saw these two brigade commanders. One is naturally Yin Yang, and the other is Yuwen Hongtai.

This Yin Yang's work efficiency is quite high, and Yuwen Hongtai was transferred from Zhaoling in just a day or two!

Yuwen Hongtai put on a majestic and exquisite mountain armor, a helmet and a sword, and his tall body looked even more vigorous, and when he saw Qin Mubai, he greeted him with great joy: "Qin Gongzi...... Ah no Captain Qin, I thank you for your great kindness! The eighteenth generation of my family ancestors thank you for your great kindness! ”

"You idiot......" Qin Mubai couldn't laugh or cry a little, and Yin Yang also laughed.

"Hey, hey!" Yuwen Hongtai smirked innocently, clenched his fists and bent down to bow, "Captain Qin, I'm a rough person, and I can't speak." Anyway, from today onwards, you are my ancestor. Whatever you want, I'll do it! ”

"Alright, alright, shut up!" Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, "It's a rare opportunity, do it well." Just don't embarrass me - Yin Yang, everyone is assembled, right? ”

"Back to the school captain's words, all of them have been assembled, waiting for Captain Qin's lecture!" Yin Yang replied with a fist.

"Okay, wait for me to change my clothes." Qin Mubai walked into his private office, and saw a golden and bright bright battle armor, hanging on the armor shelf.

Yin Yang and Yuwen Hongtai walked in, looking at this battle armor with admiration.

"Mingguang Jia! I am the most precious and best armor in Datang! ”

"Captain, put it on and try it on!"

Qin Mubai carefully admired this battle armor, and he was also quite amazed in his heart. I have heard the name of "Tang Thirteen Jia" for a long time, and the skill of making armor in the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the best in ancient times. This Mingguang armor is the first of the thirteen armors of the Tang Dynasty, and even in the twenty-first century, it may not be able to produce such a handmade best armor.

Beautiful, sturdy, lightweight, and the biggest feature is gorgeous and eye-catching!

In foreign countries, many noble generals and even state fathers are proud to have a set of bright light armor.

With the help of Yin Yang and Yuwen Hongtai, Qin Mubai put the entire set of Mingguang armor on his body. In an instant, the temperament of the whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes. The suave boy and brother before instantly turned into a heroic and majestic young general.

Iron head, scale armor, and golden light can reflect the figure of a person. The snow horizontal sword is cold and cold, and it is obviously a first-class saber.

The outfit is unusual, Qin Mubai thought about the general's uniforms he had seen on TV before, how could that kind of cheap props not be able to play this flavor.

Today coincides with the succession of the Royal Mansion Soldier A Regiment led by Qin Mubai, who is responsible for defending the palace. After Qin Mubai finished putting on his clothes, he took Yin Yang and Yuwen Hongtai, two brigade commanders, to the school to parade the soldiers.

The two hundred royal soldiers had already assembled and stood in a neat phalanx waiting for the lecture.

The royal soldiers have very few opportunities to participate in the war, and they are usually used more as guards and honor guards to show the royal prestige. Therefore, the quality of the sergeants is generally high, at least all of them are tall and mighty, and their armor and ordnance are beautiful and gorgeous. Standing neatly in a group, quite imposing.

Qin Mu took office in the white head, and there was nothing to say. briefly introduced himself, arranged the work of the palace, and handed it over to Yin Yang, who was familiar with the road, to make specific arrangements.

It's still easy.

After doing these things, the sky was already bright, and Yin Yang took his subordinates to the various sentry posts in the palace to hand over the shifts. Qin Mubai should go to Li Ke to listen to orders according to the usual practice, so he took Yuwen Hongtai and a few pawns to the prince's bedroom to hand over the sentry.

When the sun was three poles, Li Ke got up. At a glance, it was Qin Mubai who saw Shugang, his eyes lit up and he laughed: "Not bad, Mubai." Wearing this armor looks like that, and it has the style of the Winged Kingdom...... Well, let's go inside and talk. ”

Qin Mubai naturally knew that Li Ke had a lot to say to him, and the two of them entered the inner hall together and sat down. The people under the ring took the morning tea and then retreated, and there were only two people left in the room.

Li Ke was still a little sleepy-eyed and absent-minded, and after drinking half a cup of tea, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mu Bai, it seems that this time, I did something bad with good intentions?" ”

"Your Highness, where did you start with this?" Qin Mubai naturally knew that he was referring to Wu Meiniang's matter, and said, "It's already over when evil turns into good." Wu Meiniang is still my nominal woman. ”

"That's a good thing to say, on the surface, it does seem to be dangerous, but ......" Li Ke paused, shook his head and said, "Your marriage to Wu Meiniang is probably far away." Unless your father completely forgets about this matter, do you dare to touch that little lady? ”

"Your Majesty understands." Qin Mubai said.

Li Ke pursed his lips: "My father is also a man." It is not easy for a man to completely forget such a thing. ”

"Your Majesty understands." Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"You don't seem to be worried at all, are you?" Li Ke blinked a few times, looked at Qin Mubai suspiciously, and said with a smile, "It seems that you not only have the heart and courage of a thief, but also have a good mind in the face of danger, and you are a good thief who steals flowers." ”

"The sky is mighty, and your subordinates are certainly afraid. But I'm afraid it won't solve the problem, Your Highness, what do you say? Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Well, that's a good point!" Li Ke nodded and smiled, "But from today onwards, I will be more low-key and restrained." Alas, I just wanted to have fun and pass this boring time, but I didn't expect to get into trouble with my father. Moreover, Yi Guogong must also have a grudge against me in his heart...... This time, I'm really not a human being inside and out! ”

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? My father has never complained about anything, on the contrary, my father has always been grateful for His Highness's kindness. Qin Mubai said, but thought in his heart: It seems that Li Ke is stealing chickens and rice this time, and he is very disappointed. Originally, I wanted to be a big favor to my Qin family, but it didn't work out, but it was self-defeating and caused trouble. Whether his father hated Li Ke in his heart is unknown. But after this incident, Li Ke was embarrassed, and he just mentioned his marriage to Shuang'er's sister again.

"Forget it, don't talk about it." Li Ke smiled bitterly twice and said, "Xiao Wang will continue to be drunk and dreamy, and be a gentleman who doesn't care about everything." That way, maybe no one will stare at me anymore and calculate me. ”

Qin Mubai didn't speak, but his heart lit up slightly: What does Li Ke mean by this? Dare to love him every day so chic, is he deliberately doing it for others to see? …… Who is it for, is it possible that someone is always staring at this Wu Wangfu and monitoring his every move?

"Why did Your Highness say this, could it be that someone should be unfavorable to Your Highness?" Qin Mubai asked. As an officer of the Prince's Palace, it is my duty to be on guard against these things.

"The trees want to be quiet, and the wind doesn't stop!" Li Ke smiled, laughing somewhat helplessly. He shook his head and said nothing.

Qin Mubai also didn't ask again, but thought in his heart: Listening to what Li Ke meant, he had no intention of offending others, but someone secretly wanted to embarrass him everywhere? Who would have embarrassed a prince for something? …… I remember that before I came to the palace to take up my post as an official, my father told me not to get involved in the dispute between the prince and the heir. Could it be that this is the kind of thing that Li Ke is referring to now?

Forget it, I still don't want to ask about the royal family. When he wanted me to understand, Li Ke would naturally tell me.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Ke summoned a team of enchanting and sexy dancing girls to enjoy the silk and bamboo dance. Qin Mubai admired him for a while, and then said goodbye and left.

For ten days in a row, Qin Mubai stayed in the prince's mansion to lead the troops on duty, and he didn't go home much. The palace is also safe.

This errand, in addition to being idle, is still idle, and it is somewhat boring. Li Ke himself does not go out of the door, only listens to music, dances, drinks and has fun in the mansion, and it is rare to see one or two visitors in the mansion, which is like an isolated world.

Ten days later, Qin Mubai handed over his shift, and he was finally able to go home to rest for a few days, and walked out of this palace to breathe a sigh.

Back at home, Qin Mubai saw two strange carriages parked in the courtyard of the Qin family, which had always been cold in front of the door, and it was obvious that a visitor had arrived. He asked someone to ask, and the person replied that it was Qin Shubao's old friends Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie and British Duke Li Tao who came to visit.

Cheng Zhijie, isn't that Cheng biting gold? Li Tao, now the hottest military commander in Datang after Li Jing - then you have to get acquainted!

Qin Mubai came to the main hall of the front hall and saw his father Qin Shubao sitting in the main seat in the living room, and the other two men sitting in the guest seat, and the three of them were talking and laughing and drinking and talking. Seeing Qin Mubai come in, Qin Shubao raised his hand and said with a smile: "Look, that's the dog Liang'er!" ”

Qin Mubai obediently stepped forward and bowed first: "Junior Qin Liang, meet the two elders." ”

"Haha! Good! The stinky boy really looks like the shell that Second Brother Qin took off, and he has the style of the past. I'm here to take a look at you today! A man laughed loudly.

This person is Cheng Zhijie, the folk legend and many romance novels, the demon king Cheng who made a big axe. He is now a general of Youwuwei, Lu Guogong, and the governor of Puzhou. Although it is not the legendary demon king shape, it does look rough. The figure is extremely tall and strong, although he is nearly fifty years old and slightly fat, but he does not look old at all and is still powerful, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a big mouth, which looks extremely bold and unrestrained at a glance.

"Liang'er, this is your Uncle Cheng and Uncle Li. They all hugged you when you were younger. Qin Shubao laughed on the side. An old friend came to visit, and he was clearly in a good mood.

"The juniors meet Uncle Cheng and Uncle Li." Qin Mubai saluted again with a smile on his face.

In contrast, Li Tao looked much more elegant, nodded with a smile and returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Second Brother Qin, Ling Lang is really a young man with outstanding character, and he has the style you had back then!" When the foolish brother saw him, it was like seeing the high-spirited appearance of your heroic young man. ”

"Haha, I'm already old!" Qin Shubao laughed heartily, "How many years ago was that, and I almost forgot about it." However, no matter how bad my memory is, you brothers who have known each other in Wagang will never forget. It's rare that you still remember that I came to see me together, I'm so happy today - come on, come on, this Qin Xian wine was given by the emperor, and today I will rest when I get drunk! Liang'er, you also sit down and have a few drinks with the two uncles. ”

"The child obeys."

"Come, stinky boy, just sit next to me Lao Cheng, today is like a family banquet, and I don't care about any rules that break the rules of the order of the elders and children!" Cheng Yanjin shouted in a rough voice and beckoned to Qin Mubai.

Qin Shubao and Li Tao both laughed: "This old ghost is still the same as when he fell into the grass." ”

"Hehe, my reckless virtue really can't be changed. How can you be like you, after the battle and get off the horse, you can become sour and sour. Cheng Zhijie pulled Qin Mubai and sat down beside him, laughing and said, "Especially you, Li Maogong, you old boy has always been full of heart, if you dare to cheat when you drink today, I will not let you go, and I will definitely press you down!" ”

"Haha!" The crowd burst out laughing.

Qin Mubai poured the wine while smiling, and said to Cheng Zhijie: "The building near the water will get the moon first, come, Uncle Cheng, the juniors will give you a glass first!" The younger generation does it first as a respect, and the uncle is free! With that, he drank the whole glass of liquor in one gulp.

"Good, good! There is a kind of stinky boy, this wine is strong enough, but I can't lose to you little cub! After that, he took the wine glass and drank it all, but his face turned red, and he coughed violently with his hands dancing, which caused Qin and Li to laugh again.

"This old ghost is still so loving!"
