Chapter XVII
Huang Xu saw Hong Xiuquan and Hong Zhengyan coming together, he didn't know what was wrong, so he hurriedly greeted him, and after seeing the ceremony, before Huang Xu could speak, Hong Xiuquan took the first step and asked: "Listen to Yan'er, you and her sister are competing here, why, is the competition over so quickly?" What's the situation? ”
"Yes, Bixia, it's over, nothing happens, I'm fine with the eldest princess, everything is normal." After listening to Hong Xiuquan's words, Huang Xu suddenly realized that this was the case, and he thought that something big had happened, so these two came together. Now it's basically clear, it should be Hong Zhengyan who was worried that something would happen, so she went to find Hong Xiuquan, no wonder she didn't come with her at the school before, this Nizi is really well-intentioned, Huang Xu thought while replying to Hong Xiuquan's words.
"Really? But what I heard Yan'er say was different, when I saw Yan'er, she was in a hurry, are you really okay? Hong Xiuquan knew that Hong Zhengyan would not lie to him.
"It's fine." At this time, Hong Ruoyan also came over and interjected.
Hong Xiuquan looked at Huang Xu a little suspiciously, as if he wanted to see something from his face, but Huang Xu looked like he was old, and he couldn't see anything at all. Hong Xiuquan and Hong Zhengyan exchanged a somewhat suspicious look with each other. And Hong Zhengyan was even more puzzled, she obviously saw that the two of them were still tense and unrelenting just now, but now in a blink of an eye, the two of them acted as if nothing had happened, abnormal, absolutely abnormal
"Sister, didn't you say that you wanted to teach Brother Huang a lesson, what, how to ......." Hong Zhengyan asked Hong Ruoyan again.
"Yes, the lesson is over, how Yan'er, is there anything you are not satisfied with?" Hong Ruoyan replied seriously.
"So, what was the result??"
"Yan'er, actually you want to know this, right? Why didn't you say it earlier? I also beat around the bush and slurred, but in fact, the result was very simple, I lost. Hong Ruoyan said generously.
"What, you lost, it can't be, right?" Hong Zhengyan and Hong Xiuquan shouted at the same time, and then stared at Hong Ruoyan in disbelief.
"Yes, I, Hong Ruoyan, officially announced here that in the competition just now, I was inferior to others, and I lost to General Huang Xu, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Palace, I am convinced, now you believe it." Hong Ruoyan raised her hands and said as if she had taken an oath.
Hong Zhengyan still can't accept such a result immediately, but Hong Ruoyan is also known as the first master of the Forbidden Palace, if Huang Xu defeats him, then wouldn't it be said that he is more powerful than Hong Ruoyan, it turned out that he just listened to him boast that he was a martial arts master, thinking that he only knew so many moves and a half, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful, and even his sister was defeated. It's just hard to accept for a while. From this point of view, Brother Huang is really not simple, and it is becoming more and more incomprehensible, he is like a magician, always surprising people.
Although Hong Xiuquan said that he was hindered by the emperor's face, he did not directly show the same disbelief as Hong Zhengyan, but he was really shocked in his heart, he originally named Huang Xu as the deputy commander of the forbidden palace just to obey Hong Zhengyan's description and made a judgment, Hong Xiuquan really cared about the official position of the political affairs minister who was given to him, that was the real purpose in his heart, but he didn't expect that the deputy commander of the forbidden palace was also worthy of the name. Thinking of this, Hong Xiuquan wanted to laugh, but he didn't expect that it had only been a few days, this Huang Xu really brought him a lot of surprises, which made him even more convinced of Huang Xu's potential, and also made him think that Haode's successor Jihua had the opportunity to implement it in advance.
"Brother Huang, is it true?" Hong Zhengyan is still asking Huang Xu.
It wasn't until Huang Xu nodded again that she could be regarded as in love with this reality.
"Alas, alas, I say what's wrong with you; It's as if they're expecting me to lose. Hong Ruoyan looked at their expressions and said deliberately.
"Sister, sister, why does Yan'er want you to lose, you are Yan'er's dearest sister, of course I don't want you to lose!" Hong Zhengyan's move can be regarded as invincible in the world, as soon as this move comes out, no one dares to attack him, only the life of the minister, you see that Hong Ruoyan has already disarmed and surrendered.
"Okay, Yan'er, I really can't help you." Hong Ruoyan said dotingly on Hong Zhengyan's shoulder.
"By the way, Huang Xu, when can you officially take office, I will have someone take you to announce the decree and introduce you to the relevant personnel of the Forbidden Palace of the Heavenly King Palace." Hong Xiuquan looked at the intimate scene of the sisters over there with comfort, and felt ambiguous in his heart, there is a woman like this, what more can the husband ask for, but on the other hand, he turned his head and asked Huang Xudao.
"Bixia, the last general is ready to take office at any time, forgive the last general for asking one more thing, do you have any specific tasks after I arrive?" Huang Xu has begun to enter the role.
"Well, you'll know when you go, and I promise you'll have a colorful life from now on." Hong Xiuquan said with a smile. In fact, what he thought in his heart was that you have begun to be inspected, and you have entered the successor Jihua, and your idle days have come to an end, I hope you can pass the test and don't let me down.
"Xie Bixia, I will definitely do my best to serve the Celestial Empire." Anyway, since he has accepted the official position of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, no matter what he thought before, he must do his part for this Heavenly Empire, and it can be regarded as for Yan'er. From the bottom of his heart, Yan'er is the key to his choice of service.
"Okay, that's all for today, Huang Xu, I'll send someone to take you to office tomorrow." Hong Xiuquan said, "It's not early, you all go back early to rest, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." With that, he turned and left.
"Congratulations to Bixia, father." Hong Zhengyan and Huang Xu bowed down together and said.
Hong Xiuquan left, and the remaining three looked at each other, although they had a lot to say, but thinking that Huang Xu was going to take office tomorrow, they were tired enough today, so the three of them just chatted for a while, and then they each went back to their own residences to rest, and made an appointment to find time to get together again.
The next morning, just after having breakfast with Hong Zhengyan, the guards of the Tianwang Palace came, he came to take Huang Xu to take office, in fact, this guard knew both of them, and he was the one who passed the word on behalf of him at the door of the south study for the first time. So, Huang Xu explained to Hong Zhengyan again, and Hong Zhengyan also told a lot of things that should be paid attention to, and then Huang Xu reluctantly followed the eldest brother of the guard to the forbidden army camp of the Tianwang Palace.
Let me explain here, the forbidden army camp is behind the school field where Hong Ruoyan and Huang Xu competed just now.
"Brother Guard, I haven't asked you for your name." Of course, Huang Xu knows the truth that he has to rely on friends when he goes out, not to mention, this person who is still the king of heaven, it is right to make friends.
"Deputy Commander Lao hangs on the account, the villain's surname is Liu, double name, Liqing." The guard said respectfully.
"Then, I will call you Brother Liu directly in the future."
"The Lord Commander is too polite, the villain is just a guard in the Heavenly King Palace, but you are a big celebrity in the Heavenly King Palace, let you call you the eldest brother, but you don't dare to be it." I've been with the king for a long time, and of course I can't be familiar with these things anymore.
Huang Xu knew that this matter could not be rushed, since the trick of pulling the relationship did not work, then take your time, Huang Xu didn't believe that he couldn't handle him.
Then, the two of them were humble again, talking all the way to Silas as they walked, and after a while, the two arrived at the gate of the forbidden army camp in the Heavenly King's Palace. After some inquiry, the sergeant of the camp knew the purpose of the two of them coming here, and hurriedly went in to pass the message, and after a while, a team of people and horses walked out of the Chinese army tent of the forbidden army, and walked straight towards the camp gate, Huang Xu looked from afar, there were three people in the lead, and the one who walked in front was a general who was draped all over his body, and he was walking behind two other young generals, because they were far away, they couldn't see their faces clearly. But come to think of it, these three should be the heads of the forbidden army of the Heavenly Palace. After a while, this group of people had already walked to the gate of the camp, and after stopping, the general who walked in front walked in front of Liu Liqing, saluted, and then said: "I don't know what wind blew Brother Liu here, it really made our forbidden army camp shine." "Obviously we're all old acquaintances.
"Where, where, Commander Lu is so polite, I am here today to deliver the decree." After Liu Liqing finished speaking, he raised the holy decree in his hand and said.
"In that case, Brother Liu, please." After the general finished speaking, he didn't say more, and ordered the soldiers who came with him to make a way out of the middle and let Liu Liqing go ahead, because he was representing the Heavenly King at the moment.
Liu Liqing was also not modest, and took the lead in going to the Chinese military tent. Huang Xu followed him, and then the three generals of the forbidden army.
When they arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, everyone lined up their positions, Liu Liqing stood in the center, facing the generals, glanced at the few people in front, and then nodded to Huang Xu, then opened the holy decree, and sang: "The holy decree of the king of heaven, please accept the decree of the generals." ”
"The last will take the order." The leading general took the lead and said.
"On the order of the Heavenly King, Huang Xu was specially sent to serve as the deputy commander of the Forbidden Palace of the Heavenly King's Palace. Liu Liqing opened the holy decree and announced.
"The last will be ordered." General Hu respectfully took the holy decree from Liu Liqing and said.
After this fixed process was completed, Liu Liqing pointed to Huang Xu on the side and said: "This is the newly appointed deputy commander of the Heavenly King Bixia, Huang Xu, General Huang, General Huang also has another identity, he is the political adviser of the Heavenly King Palace, I hope everyone will coexist peacefully in the future and work together to guard the safety of the Forbidden Palace." ”
"Deputy Commander Huang, let me introduce myself first, my name, Lu Bo, temporarily reside as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, I won't say more, let's eat and drink in a pot in the future, I hope I can do things for the king with one heart." After speaking, he also hahadaxiao a few times, and this Commander Lu looked like a bold person.
"The Commander is polite, I will be your subordinate in the future, and I will ask the Commander for more advice in the future." Huang Xu is not the first time he has gone out, and he knows what to say. Huang Xu said as he began to look at the commander,
He was tall, square-faced, with small eyes, but large eyeballs, and a stubble of beard under his mouth that was as energetic as a steel needle, and he spoke loudly, and the whole tent seemed to tremble when he laughed. is a good Zhang Fei, this is Huang Xu's overall impression of him.
"Brother Huang, let me introduce to you, this is Guan Tang, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, mainly responsible for the daily training of the forbidden army." Lubo said, pointing to a general standing to his right.
"General Guan, please advise." Huang Xu smiled and hugged his fists and said, Then let's talk about this Guan Tang, according to Lu Bo, this Guan Tang is the descendant of Guan Wusheng, and he also makes a big knife, known as Guan Dadao. Is it? This made Huang Xu a little curious, Guan Yu, what a distant and familiar name. He looked at Guan Tang carefully, well, it was a bit of a shadow of a martial saint, but there was no Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes and lying silkworm eyebrows, on the whole, the length was still very even, but the long beard under the chin was still similar to that of Lord Guan.
Guan Tang hugged his fist at Huang Xu, which was an answer, but it didn't seem to be a master of many words.
"This is .......," Lubau pointed to the other general, who was about to make an introduction.
"General Yu, I really didn't expect to meet you here" Huang Xu didn't wait for Lu Bo to introduce him, and he had already said first. It turned out that this deputy commander was General Yu who escorted Hong Zhengyan back to the palace last time.
"Why, you know." Lubo asked, surprised.
"Commander Qiyu, the last general was ordered to escort Princess Ruorou back to the palace last time, and Deputy Commander Huang returned in the same car, so I know." General Yu explained.
"By the way, I didn't ask the general for my name last time." Huang Xu said.
"Don't dare, my name is Yu Zhendong."
"Then I will ask General Yu for more advice." Huang Xu didn't forget to be humble to Yu Zhendong.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, your brother doesn't have to be polite." Yu Zhendong also said modestly.
"Brother Huang, Zhendong is mainly responsible for grain, grass and logistics support." Lubau had unconsciously changed his title.
Speaking of this Yu Zhendong, I also want to introduce that his father was originally the personal guard of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, and he died in battle when he entered Tianjing, and the Heavenly King was deeply saddened, so he made Yu Zhendong the deputy commander, which can be regarded as the son inheriting his father's business. Look at this aftershock east. About twenty, although the figure is thin, the whole person looks full of vitality, giving people a sense of vitality.
"Brother Huang, we will be brothers in the future, don't be too restrained, later, I will ask Zhendong to take you around the battalions, so that you can familiarize yourself with the situation of each battalion and get to know the brothers." Lubo Road.
"Guan Tang, you also go and arrange it, we will meet with Brother Huang tonight, and everyone will not return home if they are not drunk." Lu Bo casually instructed Guan Tang.
Guan Tang hugged his fists again, and then went out to arrange.
"Brother Liu, don't leave today, how about staying and having a drink with us?" Lu Bo also warmly invited Liu Liqingdao.
"Thank you, I have to go back to the palace to pay the decree, I won't accompany you today, since everyone already knows, then I will leave first." After speaking, Xiang Huang Xu and the others hugged their fists, then turned around and left.
"Zhendong, send Brother Liu on my behalf." Lubo commanded again.
So, Yu Zhendong sent Liu Liqing out of the account. Huang Xu can be regarded as officially reporting to the forbidden army.
