In the secret room of the palace, King Wu's face was heavy, and he said to the soldiers who were separated from him: "This time, Ziwen Aicheng missed and his soul fell into a foreign land, and the widow was heartbroken every day!" Yesterday, the widow didn't sleep all night, and he thought of a plan to discuss with the two. ”

The soldier and the quilt looked at the close, waiting for the following. During this time, the soldiers have also spent time in regret and sadness, and they are also responsible for Ziwen's accident.

"The widow plans to set up a secret elite army, and it doesn't want to be too many, a full strength of 300 people is enough. The name of the widow was thought of, and it was called the 'Dragon Guard' battalion. Warriors with strong martial arts can be selected from the forbidden army, and those with unique skills can also be recruited among the people. Mainly responsible for assassination operations and responding to emergencies, the main task at present is to assassinate Qingji. ”

Wu Yuan nodded, it seems that King Wu is determined to win this time. Qingji has become a lingering nightmare for King Wu, making Lu unpleasant to eat and uncomfortable.

"Ask Mr. Wu to lead this dragon guard and be directly responsible to the widow. If you need anything, just ask the widow, and the widow will try to meet the gentleman's request. King Wu took out a jade talisman split in half from his long sleeve and gave one of them to the soldiers.

"This is the talisman to mobilize the dragon guard, and the widow will keep a piece with him just in case. Long Wei is trained by Mr. on weekdays. When there is a secret mission, the widow can only mobilize the dragon guard with the military talisman as a contract. But for the assassination of the royal bureaucracy, Mr. does not have to report it, he can arrange it himself. The divorced doctor is now in charge of the treasury, and whatever the gentleman needs will be solved by the departure. In short, the Dragon Guard must be formed as soon as possible and immediately deploy the operation to assassinate Qingji. ”

The two received the king's order, said goodbye and left the palace, and went to the palace to discuss some details, and the soldiers began to form this dragon guard battalion.

was separated from the army and said: "Ziwen is my personal person, who has been with me for ten years, and later made immortal contributions to the king." Isn't it providential to die this time? The king built a new dragon guard this time, and he was very anxious to celebrate the jealousy. But in my opinion, if you want to get rid of Qingji, you have to think of another way. ”

The soldier was puzzled and asked: "Although the king's jihua is a little fussy, it is also a strategy that can be used at the moment, why is the father-in-law suspicious?" ”

"Wei Guo is thousands of miles away, if there is no well-thought-out Jihua, even if there are more assassins dispatched, what is the use?" It is necessary to rely on strategy to do this, but there are not many people. ”

Wu Yuan thought to himself for a while, shook his head and said: "Although Uncle Yue is right, according to my speculation, the king's intentions: first, there is no more Haode method available at the moment; Moreover, the king's formation of the Dragon Guard Camp is not just to cut off Qingji, but the current goal of the Dragon Guard Camp is to celebrate the taboo. In the future, the Dragon Guard Battalion will have other missions. ”

The soldiers did not take the words of separation, so they personally selected 150 warriors from the forbidden army, and selected 130 martial arts people from the new army formed by the general Zhuanyi, leaving 20 places to be selected from the people.

He was given money from the treasury and built a secret military camp in a remote place 10 miles southeast of the palace, calling the dragon guard camp. Outside, it was like a dwelling, and there were no flags, and it was heavily guarded, and the people who lived inside rarely went out. Except for a few important ministers of the Wu State, no one knew about the existence of the Dragon Guard Battalion.

The soldiers divided the Longwei battalion into three sub-teams, and selected three of the highest martial arts leaders to serve as the leaders of the detachment, called the Wei Chief, named Yue Peng, Ali Sell and Tian Fang.

On the outskirts, the chamber of the Longwei camp.

The light here is dim, and there is a dark red carved table in the center, and four low tables are placed on each side. The pine wood floor gives off a strong pine smell, and there are bamboo mats under each seat. This is the brain center of the Dragon Guard Camp. Ten times a month, the soldiers should be assigned tasks and training jihua.

The soldier sat cross-legged in the hall and said to the three of his subordinates: "I am ordered by the king to form this dragon guard battalion. Our goal now is to cut off the waste prince Qingji. Qingji is now fleeing to defend the country, and is gathering the dead, colluding with the princes, and has the heart of the country. This celebration has the courage of ten thousand people, and it is difficult for ordinary people to approach, so the king has handed over the heavy responsibility to you and me, please do your best, and you must not shirk! ”

The three of them stood up and agreed.

The soldier continued: "From now on, we have to do two things: one is to send the soldiers of the Longwei Battalion to visit the heroes of the world in the territory of Wu to replenish the reserve liliang. This matter is the responsibility of Yue Peng; The second is to send secret agents to sneak to Weiguo, visit Qingji's foothold, find out the situation of his troops, the more detailed the better, this matter is in charge of Alimail. Tian Fang stayed in the barracks and was responsible for the daily training of the Longwei camp and dealing with unforeseen needs. ”

After the soldier finished assigning the task, he pulled out the Long Yuan sword on his waist, and where he waved his hand, he saw a flash of cold light, and the corners of several cases in front of the soldier had already fallen. The soldier said in a deep voice: "If we don't complete the task of attacking and killing Qingji, we will wait for this case, and we will never see the king again!" ”

The three of them looked grim and knelt down to receive the order.

Gusu, the home of Dr. Yi Kuang of Wu Guo.

Yi Kuang's mother is mourning today. The soldiers and Yi Kuang have always had a very close relationship, and they drove to Yi Kuang's house to pay their respects.

That night, after the funeral, all the guests sat down and returned to their seats, and each lived in the funeral banquet.

At this time, Yikuang Mansion was crowded. Torches made of linen cloth wrapped in wooden sticks, wrapped in butter, sizzle and sizzle. The torches were all over the courtyard, illuminating the courtyard and casting faint or thick shadows on the ground. There are dozens of seats on both sides of the compound, and the guests are not relatives. A group of attendants carry the dishes in exquisite lacquered plates, constantly shuttling back and forth. In front of the flag, there is a sorcerer who dances ancient meanings, has a mysterious conversation with the gods, and has a long spell on his lips to wish the dead rest in peace.

Occasionally, according to the hour, the long, dry bamboo pole was set on fire, and there was a crackling and dull sound.

The soldier sat opposite the person who was detached. The soldier inadvertently glanced at the seat and saw a tall and a short two people sitting opposite each other. The tall man is strong and majestic, with dark skin, a glance that has been squinted, and a proud complexion; The dwarf was only slightly more than five feet long, but his waist was ten girths, and this person had an ugly face and was calm and did not say much.

From time to time, a scholar who knew the high man came to greet him, but the high man was very domineering, not inferior in words, and arrogant to others. The dwarf man who sat on him was a little dismayed when he saw this, and when he saw that the taller man was so rude, he became indignant.

I saw the dwarf sitting on the opposite side and said to the tall man, "May I ask who is the strong man?" Why are you so proud of the doctors? If you can't leave it, dare to ask more. ”

The tall man had an angry face, and when he saw that the dwarf man was meddling in his business, and sat down opposite him, he replied proudly, "I am Pepper Hill?" Yes also! I have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for many years, traveling all over the world, and I am famous. Some time ago, I fought against the god of water, and I stopped in one day. ”

The dwarf said to be leaving: "I see! I've heard of Pepper Hill? Daimyo. No wonder he dared to despise Dr. Yu. Strong men have always regarded themselves as warriors, but there is a word to ask, I don't know? ”

Pepper Hill? They looked at each other angrily, and pressed their right hand on the hilt of their swords, signaling that they were going to leave.

To deviate: "The so-called warriors should dare to fight with heaven and earth, and can shoot the sun and chase the moon; Fight with ghosts and gods without blinking, without fear, and never with weak legs; When fighting people, you don't bluff or play some sideways, you should win by strength. The eldest husband would rather die than be humiliated, and would rather be broken than broken, so that he can be called a warrior. ”

After a long pause, his sharp eyes stared directly at Jiaoqiu? He continued: "And you fought with the god of water at the lake, and the horses were eaten by the god of water, but they could not be recovered; fought with a sword but couldn't kill him, and was injured by the water god; Suffering such a great humiliation but not being able to fight with the water god to the death, leaving this crippled body in the world, such a person who is reluctant to steal his life, is it not ashamed to be ashamed but brave? ! ”

Pepper Hill? Speechless, speechless.

To leave zuihou added: "Since you have been insulted by the god of water, even if you are born in a stealing life, you can pay it back, and why do you despise others?" ”

Pepper Hill? was humiliated by wanting to leave, and there was no way to argue, so he left the table angrily.

Seeing this, the soldier called Yue Peng, who was dressed in civilian clothes behind him, and whispered a few words to him.

After the banquet dispersed, outside Yi Kuang's mansion, I saw a long black shadow flying up and down under the cover of the night, and the floating black shadow quietly followed a short man who was hurrying in front. The dwarf walked by alone, unaware. But after them, two men in black followed, and the night covered too many secrets.
