Chang'an City

Tai Chi Palace

The courtyard of the Ouchi Guards occupies a large area, occupying almost one-sixth of the Taiji Palace. It is a large separate courtyard, next to the Prince's East Palace. The current emperor has not yet set up a crown prince in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, so the East Palace is still idle. The courtyard of the Ouchi Guards is divided into two parts, with the front being where the guards live and the yamen of the Guards. Behind is the place where the government is, there is no plaque, and those who don't know can't see the difference between this place and the front yard at all.

is not a person with a background, and he can't see the subtle difference in the flying fish robe between the love guard and the Ouchi guard.

There is a small garden in the backyard, and the most eye-catching thing is the rockery engraved with the four big red characters of Tiangong and all things. It is said that this stone was transported from the south of the Yangtze River, and the manpower and material resources consumed are estimated to be able to arm 2,000 people to the teeth. Originally, this large stone was supposed to be placed in the Imperial Garden, but the first emperor did not like the shape of this stone, so he moved it to the backyard of the Ouchi guards.

One of the reasons why this stone is eye-catching is that it is so large and strange that it looks like a statue of a reclining cow from a distance.

The second is that there is often a huge snow-white Haidongqing on the top of the head of this lying cow to rest.

There are three hundred and six feather insects in the world, and the most handsome person is Hai Dongqing.

This is a meeting gift given to the Great Sui Emperor by the Emperor Meng Ge of the Mengyuan Empire and the Great Sui Emperor Yang Yi when they met in the northwest. After that meeting with Meng Ge, His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor once said that he had two gains from this trip. The first is to open trade in the border city of Fangu, so that the herdsmen of Mengyuan and the people of the Great Sui can trade. The second is to get this Hai Dongqing, who is known as the most handsome feather insect.

This white Haidong green foot is half a human height, and when its wingspan is opened, it is even more amazing, and it can easily carry a calf into the air, and it is so fierce that people are afraid of it.

It's just a pity that although the Great Sui Emperor likes this Haidongqing, he doesn't often come to see it. If this bird of prey was not given to him by the Great Khan of the Mengyuan Empire, but was presented by the people of the Great Sui, I am afraid that the treatment would be very different.

This Hai Dongqing has been raised by Hou Wenji.

The difficulty of boiling eagle dog training is more difficult than that of the latter. Although it is difficult to get a mastiff that is fierce enough to give birth to a wolf, it is not too rare after all.

Hou Wenji trained this Hai Dongqing, and it really took a lot of effort.

The division of labor is fine, and Hou Wenji doesn't need to worry about everything. So as soon as he was free, he took this Haidongqing out to hunt, and he went for three or five days.

When he has nothing to do, Hou Wenji also likes to put some goats and hares in the backyard of the Qingya for the emperor to hunt and kill Hai Dongqing, who was named a loyal dog. A Hai Dongqing was given the name of a maid dog, the meaning of which is self-evident.

It's just that this Hai Dongqing's temper is also arrogant, and it can't look down on ordinary prey at all.

Therefore, when Zhuo Buyi walked into the backyard of the Qingya with Zhu Xiaohua, this Hai Dongqing immediately cheered up, if it wasn't for Hou Wenji to stop it, he would really dare to come down and have a vicious fight with Zhu Xiaohua. Zhu Xiaohua, who had been looking a little lost on the way back to the imperial capital, also came to her senses the moment she saw the maid dog. These two guys who belong to the strong in nature are not pleasing to anyone who looks at them.

But obviously, if you really want to fight, Zhu Xiaohua will inevitably suffer.

"This pig is good."

When Hou Wenji saw Zhu Xiaohua, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled and said: "Such a big wild boar, it is estimated that it must be the king of the mountains and forests, but you just brought it to the imperial capital, so you are not afraid that it will lose its due sharpness and wildness?" ”

Zhuo Buyi walked to Hou Wenji's side and stopped, pointed to the small forest not far away and said to Zhu Xiaohua: "The mountain rock is the territory of the birds, and the forest is your territory, although it is not big, it is barely enough for you to settle down." When I went back, I asked Your Majesty to let you live in the Imperial Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts, and you will still be the overlord when you get there. ”

He said it seriously, as if Zhu Xiaohua could really understand.

In fact, Zhu Xiaohua did hum a few times aggrievedly, and then walked into the garden with a radius of only 100 meters and lay down, and fell asleep.

"A trip to Beijing, can I gain something?"

Hou Wenji asked.

Zhuo Buyi snorted at the pig flower.

Hou Wenji laughed heartily.

"That boy is at the station?"

He asked again.

Zhuo Buyi shook his head and said, "No, he still has to wait for a few of his friends to enter the city together, so he will stay in the town outside the city, and it is estimated that he will come in three or five days." I left him a sign with a love sign, so that there would be no difficulty when entering the city. ”

He paused, looked at Hou Wenji and asked, "Gao Tianbao is dead, and there is a vacant seat for a thousand households, and I want to fill one person." ”

"Good"

Hou Wenji nodded, and didn't even ask who this person was.

"My stepsister, it's rare to see...... And I'm a type. ”

Zhuo Buyi said seriously.

"A woman, a pig."

Hou Wenji smiled and said, "You have gained a lot in this business. ”

"More than ......"

Zhuo Buyi looked at the Hai Dongqing on the rockery and said, "That little scout of the Fan Gu border army is a manufacturable material. So I bet on him, and if nothing else, he will be able to rise to prominence within a year, and barely get into the house within three years. You can enter the court within five years...... What we seem to lack is allies in the court. ”

"The courtiers have never needed to be friends with courtiers."

Hou Wenji turned his head to look at Zhuo Buyi and said solemnly: "Because Your Majesty does not allow it." ”

"I know."

Zhuo Buyi's eyes were a little fluttering and said, "But this guy does have some meaning." Ten years later...... Maybe he is the second Luo Yao. ”

Hou Wenji's face changed slightly, then nodded and said, "Then I will remember to remind Your Majesty that the border soldier has arrived in the imperial capital." You tell the boy to keep him ready...... As long as you can face the saint, it is no longer a real waste, and you will have a good future after all. Let's push him up now, whether he climbs higher or falls to his death in the future, it will be beneficial. ”

Zhuo Buyi nodded and remained silent.

Military Department

I don't know why, since Yu Donglai, the secretary of the military department, was demoted to a squire. This big man, who seems to be punished but still has a very important position in the imperial court, likes to lock himself in the study of the yamen of the military department. Day or night, the heavy black curtains in the study were closed.

So no matter who you are, walking into this study will give birth to a sense of depression.

Yu Donglai, who personally gave away seven heads a while ago, has become more and more silent these days, and his face is gloomy on weekdays. The officials of the Ministry of War, whether they were old people or newly recruited, didn't even dare to laugh in front of Yu Donglai. Everyone felt that Lord Yu was really unhappy this time, but they didn't know that he was really acting like him.

After all, giving away seven heads will offend a lot of people. Although Yu Donglai is not afraid, he also doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. You must know that who is an official in the imperial capital, which one has no background behind him?

Looking at the thin sheets of paper on the table, Yu Donglai's brows furrowed slightly.

On these pieces of paper, it is clearly written what Fang Xie has done in Fan Gu in the past three years. Although it is not comprehensive, it is not easy to be so careful from thousands of miles away.

"Eagle Vulture"

Yu Donglai called softly.

The black-robed man who had been standing respectfully not far in front of him immediately responded, "What do you command?" ”

This is a man who looks to be about thirty years old, very tall, and his biggest feature is that he is thin, although he is covered with a wide black robe, but it does not make him look plump at all. Because the robe was too fat and he was too thin, it looked a little funny. It's like a bamboo pole with a cloth banner on it, or a gloomy soul flag.

The person has a thinner body and a thinner face.

Because the cheekbones spit out and the cheeks sink, the eyes look a little bulging outward, like the eyes of a fish, and they are also the eyes of a dead fish.

He is not a dead fish, he is a good knife under Yu Donglai.

Yu Donglai picked up the paper on the table and handed it to the eagle vulture and said, "This young man, you keep an eye on it personally, and you will never allow him to have any accidents in the imperial capital." ”

"But...... This guy seems to be inseparable from the death of Fan Gu from our military department. ”

The eagle vulture said with a slight displeasure in his tone.

"Regardless of those...... His Majesty wrote the name of this young man on Chu Cailu. Although a child from a humble family like him was written into the Chu Cai Lu by His Majesty, nine out of ten people ended up silent like a stone immersed in the water of a lake. But now we can't move, and no one knows when His Majesty will be interested in meeting this inconspicuous little person. ”

"Wait"

Yu Donglai was silent for a while and said, "If he can't let His Majesty think of him again within a year, then he can only blame himself for not having the ability." The imperial capital is too big...... What kind of storm can a dead little person turn over? ”

"Humble duty understood."

The eagle vulture sneered in response, "I'll try my best to endure it." ”

"Zhuo Buyi is back, and he brought back a woman. He has never been a person who is moved by women, so there must be something outstanding about this woman. You also send someone to keep an eye on it, if in a few days this woman has an extra flying fish robe on her body...... Then you can't move that border soldier and the group of wild dogs...... I don't care about it at all. Even if you just move a bone in their mouth, they will pounce on you and bite you. ”

"Whoa"

The eagle vulture nodded and asked, "But this is so cheap, isn't that kid a little too exalted?" If he can't die, it's okay to suffer a little, right? ”

Yu Donglai's expression was slightly suffocated, then he shook his head and said, "Don't think about those meaningless things, your brother died in Fan Gu, I know you have hatred in your heart." But as long as that Fang Xie can be admitted to the Martial Arts Academy, no one can move him. Don't talk about you, even I can't move. As long as Zhou Banchuan was still in the Martial Arts Academy for a day, no one could put his hand into the gate of the Martial Arts Academy. ”

Eagle Eagle smiled hehehe: "What if he can't be admitted to the Martial Arts Academy?" ”

"At least ......"

Yu Donglai pondered for a while and said, "You have to let Your Majesty forget about him, or...... Dead heart to him. At this time, any slight matter may make His Majesty Long Yan furious. So you better bear with it, even if he is admitted to the Martial Arts Academy? It's a big deal that after three years, he will be sent out to serve in the army in a border city, and if you want to kill him, you can endure it for three years at most. ”

The eagle vulture didn't speak, but it didn't care about Yu Donglai's words in his heart.

The revenge of killing my brother, three years...... It's been too long.

……

……

Fang Xie squatted on the side of the road on the side of the road and looked at the direction of the imperial capital, the outline of the big city in the distance was too spectacular, so that it completely subverted the concept of the ancient city in Fang Jie's heart. Originally, he always thought that no matter how big Chang'an City was, it would not be as big as the imperial capital in his previous life.

Now he realizes how wrong he was.

There are still at least a dozen miles away from Chang'an City, but looking at it from such a distance, you still can't see the end of the city wall of Chang'an City, which shows the size of Chang'an City. If nothing else, how much does it cost to build a ring of walls that is so long and so tall? I'm afraid that only the Great Sui in this world has such a strong national strength.

"Big Dog"

Fang Jie, who was squatting on the branch of the tree, held a cigarette pouch in his mouth that he had bought for twenty-five copper coins in the hands of a merchant, but he was smoking high-quality tobacco worth one tael of silver and one catty. Although it was the first time he smoked in this world, he was still very skilled at spitting out a string of smoke rings.

He asked the big dog: "You say, will the little waist sister enter the imperial capital and turn the entire love department upside down?" Will there be some noble and handsome young man who has no skin and no face to stick on when he sees her? Will Sister Xiaowaist ...... Found someone you like? ”

"Won't"

The big dog crouching under the tree also had a cigarette pouch in his mouth, but he didn't stuff it with tobacco. He may just feel that Fang Xie looked a little handsome with a cigarette pouch in his mouth.

"If there is really that kind of person, Xiao Waist will only beat him all over the ground looking for teeth."

The big dog replied seriously.

Fang Xie hummed and muttered in a low voice: "Then I'll rest assured......"

Extremely small.
