As soon as the morning dawned, Wu Jin came to Meihuawei, he came to go through the formalities, it is also interesting to think about, he served as the captain of Meihuawei for only a few days, and he did not bring a soldier, so he was reappointed as the deputy governor of the Chuzhou Navy, and it was a bit funny to think about.

At the beginning, the Captain of the Plum Blossom Guard brought him some scenery, but now when he looks back, a small title of Captain looks shabby and lowly.

Wu Jin is still wearing a plum blossom guard uniform, before he left office, he was still a lieutenant of the plum blossom guard, he walked into the gate quickly, and met Li Yan, the general of the plum blossom guard.

Wu Jin stepped forward and knelt down and saluted, "Humble to participate in General Li!" ”

Li Yan hurriedly helped him up, "No need to be polite, please get up quickly!" ”

Li Yan already knew that Wu Jin was named the Duke of Liangguo and the Deputy Governor of the Chuzhou Navy, although the Deputy Governor of the Chuzhou Navy, he was at the same level, but the Duke of Liangguo was beyond his reach, and Wujin's status was far above him, and Li Yan could not afford the military salute of Wujin.

He patted Wu Jin on the shoulder and smiled bitterly, "I wanted to keep you in Meihuawei and become my right-hand man, but I didn't expect ..... Ay! It's a pity, but I'm happy for you. ”

"It's also my regret that I didn't stay in Meihuawei, but there is no way, I will go to Chuzhou next month to take up my post, so I can only resign from Meihuawei's position, during this time, thank you General Li for your care."

Li Yan nodded, "Let's go!" I'll accompany you to your resignation. ”

Wu Jin followed Li Yan to a small red building, which was the office of the civilian officials of Meihuawei, and the civilian official in charge of the appointment and dismissal of Meihuawei's officers was a record of joining the army, and his position was equivalent to that of a lieutenant, surnamed Zhao, and everyone called him Zhao to join the army, and he was very polite.

"Zhao joins the army, this is my military card."

Wu Jin took out his No. 9 military card, a little reluctant, this is also a mystery in his heart, why did Meihuawei give him such a high military card? But now the mystery is meaningless, and the card no longer belongs to him.

He put the bronze military badge on the table and pushed it to Zhao Senjun, who was filling out a form, and he smiled and said, "Wait a while!" After the resignation procedure is completed, I will be returned with the military uniform. ”

Wu Jin picked up the military badge again, and at this moment, there was a rapid running sound outside, and I saw General Li Yan appear at the door, and he shouted urgently, "Stop!" ”

Zhao Senjun and Wujin both looked at him strangely, Li Yan walked into the room quickly, and asked Zhao Senjun urgently, "Have Wujin's formalities been completed?" ”

Zhao Senjun pointed to the form, "Filling out the form." ”

"Fill out the form on hold!"

Li Yan turned back to Wu Jin and said, "You come with me, I have something to look for you." ”

Wu Jin was puzzled in his heart, and followed him out, "General Li, what's wrong?" ”

Li Yan saw that there was no one left and right, and whispered to him: "Elder Ge wants to see you." ”

Wujin was stunned, the elder of Meihuawei wanted to see himself, why?

Whether it is Meihuawei or Xiuyiwei, their supreme power is not the general, the general is only to mobilize the army, arrange some urgent matters, but the general does not have the right to appoint and dismiss officers, the general and above are appointed by the emperor, and the appointment and dismissal power below the general is in the hands of the Meihuawei supervising army, including the transfer of more than 1,000 people, must be agreed by the supervising army.

The supervisor is only a written position, and most people call it the elder, and the plum blossom guard and the embroidered guard have a cabinet elder, who is directly appointed by the emperor and has served as the supervisor of the army in these two internal guard armies for a long time.

After Huangfu Xuande ascended the throne, the old man surnamed Jiang was a guard officer by his side for 20 years, and was deeply trusted by Huangfu Xuande, due to his age, he was sent by Huangfu Xuande ten years ago to do embroidered clothes and guard and Meihua Wei to supervise the army, and was called Jiang Ge Lao by the army.

Jiang Ge Lao is also one of the few national warriors in the Daning Dynasty, the national warrior is also a kind of warrior title, not because of how strong his martial arts are, but to get the emperor's imperial seal, since 20 years ago Huangfu Xuande decreed that he will no longer be a national scholar, the number of national warriors is getting smaller and smaller, there are less than 20 people left, and most of them are old, the youngest is more than forty years old.

Jiang Ge Lao generally rarely shows up, his whereabouts are secret, most of the Meihua Guard soldiers have not seen his true face, everyone only knows that he lives in a small courtyard behind the Meihua Wei Yamen.

Wu Jin followed Li Yan to the front of the small courtyard, Li Yan knocked on the door, the door opened, and a seven or eight-year-old boy appeared, he smiled at Li Yan and said, "Did anyone bring it?" ”

Li Yan pointed at Wu Jin, "Bring it." ”

Xiao Tong glanced at Wu Jin, and then smiled: "Wu Jin Gongzi, please come with me." ”

Li Yan didn't dare to walk into the courtyard, he watched Wujin walk into the courtyard, the courtyard door slammed shut, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, in front of Jiang Ge Lao, he couldn't even compare to Wujin, no wonder, he was the Duke of Liangguo, what was he and he didn't even have a title.

Li Yan had no choice but to turn around and leave.

The small yard is not big, a few plum trees are planted, and the house is also a low bungalow, Wu Jin walked into the house with Xiao Tong, the room was very dim, the surroundings were bare, there was no piece of furniture, Xiao Tong lit an oil lamp, turned back to Wu Jin and said: "Don't ask Childe anything, just follow me." ”

He took Wu Jin to the inside, walked into three doors in a row, and before he arrived, Wu Jin only felt as if he was going down, he suddenly woke up, he must have entered the underground, it turned out that this Jiang Ge old man actually lived in the basement.

That's right, he already smelled the strong smell of earth, and felt that although the air was very fresh, it was a little damp, this must be underground, and it was pitch black all around, only a large oil lamp with beans in the hand of the little boy in front of him emitted a faint halo, so that Wu Jin could faintly see that he was walking along a wide road, he reached out and touched it, and there were cold stone walls all around.

The little boy pushed open a stone door, and there was a large piece of light shooting out of the door, it should have arrived, and Wu Jin couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Walking into the stone gate, there is a brightly lit stone house in front of you, like a study, tables, chairs and bookshelves, all available, and there are two rooms inside and outside.

Xiao Tong smiled, "Childe wait a while, the master will be there soon." ”

He turned around and left, the stone door slammed shut again, Wu Jin was suddenly shocked, didn't this lock him in the ground? People don't know, ghosts don't know.

An inexplicable sense of fear came over him, and he turned around and went to pull the stone gate, but the stone gate did not move.

At this time, an old voice came from behind him, "No need to pull, the stone door is locked, and it can only be opened by the mechanism." ”

As soon as Wu Jin turned around, he saw an old man with gray hair walking out of the room, with a medium build, a little hunched back, a pale face, and a faint hint of gloom in his eyes, looking about sixty years old.

He glanced Wu Jin up and down, and smiled slightly, "My official name is Jiang Kui, but my real name is Jiang Yan, and I am also one of the six warriors of Jin'an. ”

Wu Jin only felt a bang in his brain, a blank, at a moment that he never expected, another Jin'an Six Warriors appeared, and it was actually the elder of the Plum Blossom Guard.

Jiang Yan glanced at Wu Jin very interestingly, he seemed to know that Wu Jin would have such a stunned expression, "Why, can't you think of it?" ”

A bitter smile appeared on Wu Jin's face, he remembered what Huangfu Jiang said, you can't imagine the identity of the six warriors of Jin'an, he really can't imagine that Emperor Daning's personal guards are actually the six warriors of Jin'an, who would have thought of it?

"Sit down!" Jiang Yan waved his hand and smiled.

Wu Jin didn't sit down, but he knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan nodded secretly and praised, this kid knows Entu Bao, and it is indeed much better than his eldest brother.

"Kid, don't kneel, get up and sit down."

Wu Jin sat down slowly, his heart was very confused, and he felt that there were a thousand questions, but there was one question he understood, that is, why his plum blossom guard card was number nine, which was arranged by this Jiang Pavilion elder.

Jiang Yan poured him a cup of hot tea, "Do you know where this is?" ”

Wu Jin shook his head, and Jiang Yan smiled again: "This is actually next door to the Meihuawei dungeon, and across the wall is the death row, where twenty death row prisoners are held, but the stone wall is five feet thick, and they can't hear any sound." ”

Wu Jin nodded silently, in fact, he should have thought that he had visited before, as if the dungeon was nearby, so he asked, "What should I call my senior?" ”

"I am ranked fifth among the six warriors of Jin'an, you should call me Jiang Wuye, but now that you are our young master, you can call me Jiang Weng!"

"I still call you Fifth Master Jiang, how can Fifth Master become the elder of the Plum Blossom Pavilion?"

Jiang Yan sat down opposite him, and sighed slightly: "Actually, it's also normal, when our six brothers had a two-day meeting to discuss how to revive the old master, everyone decided to work in one direction, Chen Zhiduo went overseas to establish a foundation, and there was the Phoenix Society, Zhang Mao went to the northwest to develop, his son Zhang Chongjun became the envoy of the Helong Festival, Yu Xuan was injured internally, he was responsible for protecting Tianfeng, and later taught you martial arts, that is, the wine Taoist, and I went back to the emperor, to win the emperor's trust, I stayed in Liangwangfu, Two years later, King Liang recommended me to enter the East Palace to guard the prince, and since then I have stayed with the prince, and have followed him to the throne, gaining his trust, ten years ago, I served as the embroidered guard guard, and five years ago I also served as the plum blossom guard guard. ”

"Wait a minute!"

Wu Jin was suddenly a little confused, "Didn't you say that the embroidered clothes guard also has a Dragon Pavilion elder?" ”

Jiang Yan laughed, "Everyone says that the embroidered clothes guard and the plum blossom guard each have a pavilion elder, but in fact, there are no two of them, that is, I am the one who is the concurrent, and the dragon pavilion elder is also me, and my name as a shadow warrior is Dragon Shadow, which is the name given to me by the emperor, which means that I am his shadow." ”

Wu Jin then understood why his grandfather, Huangfu Bailing, asked him to work in the embroidery guard when he was in Donghai County, and the original reason was here.

"Wujin, yesterday the emperor called me and discussed with me for a long time, the emperor has decided to expand the establishment of embroidered clothes and plum blossoms, I hope you don't resign, still stay in plum blossom guards part-time."
