After staring at Ling Xia for a moment, Nangong Xiongba weighed it, and then he announced in a loud voice: "Commander Ling Xia is loyal and resourceful, not afraid of power, in view of his uprightness and courage, he is specially commended for his promotion to the rank of position."

In addition to the position of the commander of the thousand, Ling Xia was ordered to concurrently serve as the commander of the patrol station, inspect military discipline and rectify the military appearance, and this order took effect immediately. ”

After reading out the three orders, Nangong Xiongba looked at everyone, raised his left hand, raised his arms and shouted to ask everyone: "Do you obey these three military orders of this commander?" ”

"Serve, we serve, completely convinced." Ling Xia was the first to take the lead.

"Serve, serve, we serve!"

"Serve, serve, we serve!"

For this result, the soldiers were all very satisfied, seeing that Nangong Xiongba not only relieved Nangong Ran from the post of army commander, drove the four overlords of Nangong out of the army, but also promoted the position of leading eldest brother Ling Xia, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard on the scene all shouted with joy and sincerity.

Different from Ling Xia's joyful expression, Nangong Ran's father and son all had a look of remorse on their faces at this time, Nangong Ran finally understood what it meant to be a "pit father" at this time, looking at the four unscrupulous sons who had pitted themselves to such a point, he stomped his feet angrily, but he was helpless.

What was more regretful than Nangong Ran was the four little overlords, they didn't expect that the four of them just pretended to be a big-tailed wolf, and they ended up like this, they knew that this was the result, they would never dare to provoke Ling Xu, but now it was obviously too late to regret it.

……

In a certain mansion, the black shadow was kneeling on one knee to report information: "Lord Qiyu, his subordinates have found out Ling Xia's traces, he suddenly appeared in the Imperial Capital Forbidden City today, and first went to the military department alone, for some reason?" In the past half an hour or so, Ling Xia was promoted to the rank of Seven-Rank General Commander by the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and after leaving the Yamen of the Ministry of War, he went to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Praetorian Guard......"

On the opposite side of the black shadow, the man known as the "Lord of Order" stood with his hands in his hands, listening to the report of the black shadow without saying a word, and when he heard the news that Ling Xia punished the four overlords of Nangong, called Nangong Ran, and caused a mutiny in the Praetorian Guards, his face showed a trace of emotion.

After the black shadow finished reporting the information, the middle-aged man was silent for a moment and asked the question he was most concerned about: "What about Peng Lie?" Ling Xia and his team of 100 people have already appeared in the imperial capital, so it is time for him to hand over Peng Lie, where is Peng Lie now? ”

"Peng Lie's whereabouts are still unknown." The black shadow reported truthfully: "Although Ling Xia went to the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, he did not hand over Peng Lie, and Ling Xia neither handed over Peng Lie to the Three Law Divisions, nor handed over the Ministry of War to the Yamen. ”

"Didn't get Peng Lie? So how did Ling Xia deal with it? Could it be that Ling Xia let Peng Lie go halfway? Muttering to himself, the middle-aged man shook his head: "It's impossible----- Ling Xia won't let go of Peng Lie, he must have hidden Peng Lie somewhere."

Immediately sent someone to search Peng Lie's traces, and informed the Nangong Banner Master to pay attention to the inside of the Praetorian Guard, especially the team that Ling Xia was in at this time, now that Ling Xia and his men were absorbed by the Praetorian Guard, I wonder if he would hide Peng Lie among those soldiers.

So many people are looking for Ling Xia, but they didn't expect him to enter the imperial capital unknowingly, and the three forces along the way can't intercept him. ”

After a pause, the middle-aged man asked the black shadow with a little puzzlement: "Ling Xia neither handed over Peng Lie to Xia Yuanxiao, nor did he hand over Peng Lie to Nangong Xiongba, if this is the case, then why did the two of them promote Ling Xia's military position?" There's something strange about this. ”

"I don't know about this ------- lowly position, and I don't dare to speak arbitrarily." The dark shadow replied honestly.

"Do you find it strange? Why did Xia Yuanxiao and Nangong Xiongba ignore Peng Lie's matter after Ling Xia entered the imperial capital? The infighting between the two of them was so fierce before, but now it is instantly peaceful, why is this happening? The man whispered.

"This?" After a moment's thought, the black shadow replied in an uncertain tone, "Will someone be able to match it?" helped the two resolve the conflict? For example, the emperor, the prince of the prison state, the prince of Zhenguo, and the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, after all, these people do not want to see the infighting between the military department and the Praetorian Guard. ”

"The emperor has been in poor health recently, the crown prince is busy with the marriage of the office, the prince of Zhenguo is ignoring the government and politics, and the generalissimo of soldiers and horses is monitoring the infinite ocean island country from the border at the moment, and they don't have the time and energy to act as peacemakers."

After being silent for a moment, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he analyzed with a deep gaze: "Maybe we underestimated that Ling Xia's ability, only he had seen Xia Yuanxiao and Nangong Xiongba alone, and when he left, the two of them remained silent about Peng Lie's affairs, which should have something to do with him."

You go check what place Ling Xia has been to since he entered the imperial capital? Who have you seen? In addition, I will send someone to investigate the recent movements of the Yamen of the Ministry of War and the Governor of the Praetorian Guard, I really don't believe it, the two people who were still tense before will shake hands and make peace because of a little Ling Xia. ”

"Yes, let's arrange it." When the words fell, the black shadow hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "What about the mutiny of the Praetorian Guards?" Shall we make a fuss about this? This is a perfect time to take over the Praetorian Guard. ”

The middle-aged man shook his head: "Nangong Xiongba is deeply trusted by the emperor, as long as the emperor is alive for one day, we can't move Nangong Xiongba, don't say that the two divisions have mutinied, even if the entire Praetorian Guard corps mutinies, the emperor will not condemn Nangong Xiongba." ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man showed a disdainful smile: "It seems that Nangong Xiongba has learned from his father "Nangong Hongru" in the past few years, and he actually knows how to win people's hearts.

Nangong Xiongba's hand abandoned the car to protect the commander is good, not only quelled the mutiny, but also won the hearts of the army, and also created a fair and selfless image in front of the soldiers, this kind of road is Nangong Hongru's usual method, I didn't expect him to use it. ”

……

Ling Xia didn't know that there were still people staring at him at this time, at this moment he was holding the token of the inspector to familiarize himself with military affairs from the patrol platform, and after taking over the experience, Ling Xia immediately saw through the essence of this errand, the so-called patrol chief envoy, to put it bluntly, is the chief inspector of later generations.

There are more than 50 inspectors in total, and these inspectors are responsible for inspecting the military discipline and appearance of 10,000 troops.

When the four overlords of Nangong were there before, because of the relationship between the commander of the legion, Nangong Ran, the inspector and the chief inspector did not dare to offend the four overlords of Nangong, which led to the existence of this department in name only, and now that Ling Xia has taken over this department, he decided to make a big move.
