After exiting the imperial study, Ji Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, and then he realized that his clothes behind his back had been soaked with sweat. When he was talking to Emperor Yan in the imperial study just now, he seemed to be talking eloquently, but in fact, only he knew that he occasionally showed domineering in the face of Emperor Yan, and he didn't exude that kind of momentum that looked down on the world put a lot of pressure on him. Moreover, he also said that the Yulin Ride, which Emperor Yan was proud of, was very unbearable, and even almost rebelled against Emperor Yan's dragon scales.

The Yulin Cavalry is the elite cavalry selected by Emperor Yan in the 300,000 elites of Dayan, the purpose is to emulate the tiger and leopard cavalry who left the country, and want to form a cavalry that can turn the tide when the war reaches a critical moment. Indeed, the Yulin cavalry has also done this, and they have become the most elite cavalry of Dayan since the first day of formation, whether it is a group charge or a single battle, they have become the king of Dayan's cavalry. But even so, as long as the people who have fought with the Tiger and Leopard Rider from the country know very well in their hearts, no matter how strong Yulin Riding is in Dayan, if they want to compare with the Tiger and Leopard Riding from the Country, they are always a big step behind, and they always feel that they are missing something, including Emperor Yan himself!

So if it weren't for the fact that he was the son of Emperor Yan and a disciple of Li Qingyi, the god of the army who left the country, and was qualified to make irresponsible remarks about Yulin Qi, it is estimated that Emperor Yan would have been furious a long time ago!

However, his gains today are not small, at least he has obtained a battalion of soldiers and horses, with this battalion of soldiers and horses, he can prepare for the school field competition in March next year from tomorrow, which makes him very happy. As for the military order he made with his father and said that he would train a team of about 3,000 people that would not lose to the tiger and leopard riders who had left the country, he didn't think so at all, because as long as he was given enough power, financial resources and military resources, he would definitely be able to fulfill his promise, because he was a disciple of the military god Li Qingyi, and he believed that he had this ability, because he had trained tiger and leopard riders for his teacher three years ago.

Taking a deep breath, Ji Qingchen restrained the joy on his face, and then sorted out his thoughts, and found that Wei Zhongxian was talking to Zhang Rang in a low voice under the steps outside the door of the imperial study, just looking at Wei Zhongxian with a gloomy face and Zhang Rang who was submissive, he guessed that Wei Zhongxian must be reprimanding his godson Zhang Rang, as for what would reprimand Zhang Rang, he could probably guess eight or nine points, probably because Zhang Rang was too brave at the entrance of King's Landing City yesterday.

Just as Ji Qingchen moved his gaze to the two of them, Wei Zhongxian and Zhang Rang found out that he was silent and silent. As soon as he walked down the steps, Wei Zhongxian and Zhang Rang immediately saluted him, it was the second time he had seen Wei Zhongxian, but he found that the chief eunuch in the Great Yan Palace still kept a certain distance from him as he had when he first met him, but his attitude was very respectful.

"You go on, I'll go to the Qianqiu Palace to say hello to the concubine!" Ji Qingchen said very casually, and then walked towards Concubine De's Qianqiu Palace. It's just that Ji Qingchen just walked out a short distance when he found that Zhang Rang was panting and trotting to catch up with him.

"Why don't you talk to your godfather more?" He said to Zhang Rang.

"Godfather said to let the slave follow His Highness, and the slave immediately rushed over." Zhang Rang replied honestly.

"What? Did he just reprimand you? Ji Qingchen asked with a smile.

"Yes! The godfather scolded the slave for being unproductive and not serving His Highness well, saying that the slave almost put His Highness in crisis yesterday. Zhang Rang said in a low voice.

"It's not your fault, don't blame yourself too much, besides, you did a good job yesterday, I like it." Ji Qingchen comforted Zhang Rang.

"Thank you, Your Highness! Minions understand! Zhang Rang was moved.

In this way, the two of them arrived at the Qianqiu Hall between questions and answers.

Concubine De has stepped out of the Qianqiu Hall since Ji Qingchen left the country as a hostage, and she also built a Buddhist hall in the Qianqiu Palace, chanting scriptures and praying for her son every day, which has become her habit. When Ji Qingchen and Zhang Rang arrived at the Qianqiu Palace, Concubine De just came out of the Buddhist hall, Concubine De was overjoyed to see her son, and when Ji Qingchen finished saluting her, she pulled him to sit on the couch and asked questions, mainly to ask Ji Qingchen how he lived outside, and Ji Qingchen answered them one by one. Then Concubine De began to reprimand Ji Qingchen, saying that he shouldn't run around, and went to the streets of Chang'an to fight with Yulin Rider. Ji Qingchen could only ask Concubine De for his guilt, saying that he would not do this in the future. Concubine De was relieved at this time.

The two chatted for a while, and then talked about Zhang Rang.

"Does the concubine think Zhang Rang is a usable person?" Ji Qingchen asked vaguely.

Concubine De has lived in the harem, a place where the right does not belong to the temple for more than ten years, so she naturally understood the meaning of her son's words, so she said, "Zhang Rang has been following Wei Zhongxian since he entered the palace at the age of six, and at the age of sixteen, he was roded by the court because he made a mistake, and the mother concubine happened to be present at the time to intercede with your father and the emperor for him, so that he was saved from death, and he was asked to come to his side, and then he stayed in the Qianqiu Palace for eight years, needless to say that he was loyal to you." ”

"Then will the relationship between him and Wei Zhongxian be affected-" Ji Qingchen asked with a deep groan.

"Wei Zhongxian was your personal eunuch when your father was still the crown prince, and he has not left your father for more than thirty years, and he has been loyal to your father, it is impossible to say that he has any connection with your brothers, and it is even more impossible to say that he has any connection with several people in the harem, you can rest assured!" Concubine De said affirmatively.

Concubine De's words were also very vague, but Ji Qingchen could understand it, and he knew that Wei Zhongxian was Zhang Rang's godfather, but it didn't affect him to use Zhang Rang with confidence, so he said with a smile, "Mother concubine said this, so the ministers are relieved!" ”

Concubine De knew that her son asked Zhang Rang the question to compete for the position of the East Palace, but she did not dissuade her, because she knew that this was also what Emperor Yan meant, and there was a secret in her heart, and it was really because of this secret that she did not compete for the position of prince for her son.

After saying Zhang Rang's question, Ji Qingchen chatted with Concubine De for a while, and then said goodbye and left the Qianqiu Palace.

Out of the palace, sitting in the carriage back to the house, Ji Qingchen began to think about how to use Zhang Rang. After a few days of getting along, he already had a general understanding of Zhang Rang, and he found that Zhang Rang could read poetry, was quite talented, decisive, and martial arts, and treated him as a general servant like this It is indeed a waste of talent, but no matter how capable Zhang Rang is, he is still an internal servant after all, which makes Ji Qingchen difficult, and I don't know how to make full use of Zhang Rang's ability.

After struggling for a long time and still not thinking of a good way, Ji Qingchen no longer thought about the problem, but put his mind on how to train the soldiers and horses of this battalion to participate in the school field competition in March next year. He leaned lightly into the carriage and changed into a comfortable position, preparing to consider the candidate for the commander of this battalion.

At that moment, a familiar figure flashed through the gap in the curtain of the carriage.

Suddenly seeing this familiar figure on the street of King's Landing City, Ji Qingchen was surprised, and when he immediately opened the curtain and looked in the direction where the figure was gone, he found that the figure had disappeared into the bustling crowd.

"What's wrong with Your Highness?" Zhang Rang noticed Ji Qingchen's strange behavior and asked.

"Did you see a woman in green just now?" Ji Qingchen asked Zhang Rang.

"The woman in green?" Zhang Rang recalled, "It seems to have passed by our carriage just now, I don't know what His Highness Lu Dao commanded?" ”

"Yes! Sure enough, it's her! Ji Qingchen groaned and said to Zhang Rang, "It's okay, keep going!" ”

Sure that he was not wrong, Ji Qingchen, who put down the curtain, fell into deep thought, because the familiar figure he saw just now was none other than Jiang Rou, the secret guard who assassinated him in the Ningzhou City Pavilion and was let go without success. When he let Jiang Rou leave, he told Jiang Rou that if he met her next time, he would no longer be polite to her, and he would never show mercy to her subordinates again. He thought that Jiang Rou would stay in the country in a down-to-earth manner after that experience of wandering on the edge of life and death, but he never thought that she would return to Yan Country without a long memory, and deliberately ran to King's Landing City.

Jiang Rou is the secret guard who left the country, and she is also the person who left the country Empress Dowager Xiao, and this time she suddenly appeared in King's Landing City, which could not help but make Ji Qingchen vigilant.

"It's time to check Jiang Rou's whereabouts and see what she wants to do." Ji Qingchen thought to himself, but when he thought that he didn't have such a secret guard by his side for him to spy on intelligence, track the enemy, carry out assassination activities, etc., he frowned.

At this time, he thought of Zhang Rang, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he had an idea in his heart. When he returned to the mansion, he immediately summoned Guo Quan and Zhang Rang to the study, and asked Guo Quan when he opened the door, "Brother Guo, what do you think of the Eastern Wilderness Iron Sword?" ”

Guo persuaded that he didn't know why Dao Ji Qingchen would have such a question, so he thought for a while and replied seriously, "Your Highness, the Eastern Wilderness Iron Sword is an elite force that has been trained for decades in the Eastern Wilderness, and its combat effectiveness can be compared to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who left the country and the Feather Forest Cavalry of our Dayan, but their duties are different from those of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Yulin Cavalry, compared to the role of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Yulin Cavalry on the battlefield, in addition to protecting the monarch, they are more responsible for intelligence spying and collection, assassination and other tasks. ”

"If Brother Guo is asked to train an elite warrior like the Iron Sword of the Eastern Wilderness, I don't know how much time it will take to do it?" Ji Qingchen suddenly asked Guo Lun, his eyes staring at Guo Quan.

"What does Brother Jiu mean......" Guo Quan's words came to this, and he understood what Ji Qingchen meant, his expression changed several times, he forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, thought for a while and said, "I don't know how many people Brother Jiu Dao needs?" ”

"You don't need too many people to start the formation, two hundred people are enough!" Ji Qingchen thought for a while and replied.

"Brother Jiu wants to form an elite warrior of two hundred people, as long as there is enough financial resources to support it, it will only take one year for Guo Quan, but if you want them to reach the level of the Eastern Wilderness Iron Sword, I am afraid it will take at least three years." Guo persuaded the words and said carefully.

"Good! As long as there is Brother Guo's words, it is enough, as for money, Brother Guo doesn't have to worry, the money in the house is now at the expense of Brother Guo's phone bill. "Asking Guo Quan" to train a secret guard is what Ji Qingchen thought of in the carriage just now, he feels that Guo Quan's martial arts are strong, thoughtful, and there will be no problem in terms of loyalty, and he is indeed the best candidate to form and lead the secret guard, "Then I will give this matter to Brother Guo!" ”

"Brother Jiu, please rest assured, it only takes one year, Guo Quanjiang will let you see a sharp warrior like the Iron Sword of the Eastern Wilderness, and within three years, Guo Quanzhi will let this sharp warrior dominate the world." Guo persuaded without thinking about it, and replied confidently.

After knowing that he had gained such unconditional trust from His Royal Highness the Ninth in less than three days, and handed over the power to form and lead a secret guard to him, Guo Quan felt that there was no better way than to express his feelings with practical actions.

And he is still very confident in this regard, because his father used to be an excellent catcher, and his father taught him a lot of things when he was a child, in addition to his martial arts, such as reconnaissance, tracking, makeup, and espionage. Now let him form such a secret guard, he is naturally full of confidence, and feels that he has a place to use, and he can repay His Royal Highness Nine for his kindness to him!

"Zhang Rang, in the future, you will be the chief manager of the mansion, and all the affairs in the mansion will be managed by you, especially in terms of money. Also, since you want to be in charge of the money, let's help Brother Guo handle this matter together! Ji Qingchen said to Zhang Rang on the side.

"Your Royal Highness, this-" Zhang Rang was calm enough, his voice was still a little trembling, he was too excited, not to mention the position of the head of the house, let him participate in the formation of a secret guard, he knew that His Royal Highness Dao Jiu did not treat himself as an outsider, but as his own confidant, he also listened to his godfather Wei Zhongxian said, at the beginning, His Majesty regarded his godfather as a confidant, and after His Majesty ascended the throne, his godfather had today's status and power, and now His Royal Highness the Ninth also regarded himself as his confidant, As long as His Royal Highness the Ninth can sit on Dayan's dragon chair, won't he be as powerful as his godfather?

Thinking of his godfather's power, Zhang Rang was both envious and afraid, he had ever seen a godfather when he arrived in Yizhou, and Yizhou Thorn Shi nodded to his godfather. Yizhou Thorn History, this is a dignified three-grade master!

"What? Do you not want to? Are you still scared? Ji Qingchen asked with a smile.

Zhang Rang immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "I, please rest assured Your Highness, the slave will not disappoint Your Highness!" ”

"Yes!" Ji Qingchen nodded slightly, and said to Guo Persuad, "Brother Guo has thought about choosing a name for this Ruishi?" ”

Guo Quan is not stupid, "Guo Quan didn't think of any good names, this name is still Brother Jiu, you think of one!" ”

"I like a poem, called Shuo Qi Chuan Jin Ji, cold light iron clothes. Then call it ironcloak! Ji Qingchen pondered for a moment and said.

"Iron Clothes—" Guo Quan, said in a low voice.

"Iron cloak—" Zhang Rang said secretly.

In this way, this secret guard "Iron Suit", which was famous all over the world a few years later, was born!
