Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao, under the leadership of the steward, lived in the guest house, and found that the palace was five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, and the guards were heavy, Zhenlin couldn't help but be glad that he did not act recklessly and visited the palace at night.

----

"I've heard that there are two powerful people who defected to you, wouldn't it be them that you said that day?"

"Well, yes, I'm not sure if they really join the army, but after today's trial, there is a person who is strong, and I don't know if he is clumsy, but with his strength, it shouldn't be Yan Guo's meticulous work, they haven't been so generous. But there are still some doubts that need to be tested again. Zhao Ting said.

"What are you going to do?" asked King Yan then.

"I want to recruit them into my escort so that I can observe. Zhao Ting said what she thought.

"Are you confident that you can deal with them?" asked King Yan repeatedly.

"I have. Zhao Ting said firmly.

"I'm talking about self-confidence, not arrogance. King Yan smiled, reminding his daughter not to be complacent.

Zhao Ting thought for a while and said, "Father, I'm not arrogant, you also know that in terms of body speed, I'm not inferior to anyone." Escaping is not a problem. Besides, I must not let myself be left alone, give them a chance, if they are spies, what they want most is intelligence, not to risk dealing with me, a big living person. The most important thing is that I don't necessarily lose to him. Father, believe me. ”

"Be careful. ”

King Yan dotes on this daughter, and he also has confidence in the daughter he has cultivated.

----

"Miss, the two of them brought it. ”

After a night, when I saw Zhao Ting again, she was still dressed as a man, but she still couldn't hide her handsomeness.

Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao greeted each other.

"You may be seated. Are you two resting well?" Zhao Ting asked with concern.

"Good. ”

"I thought about it for a while, since the two of you are asking me to introduce them to the army, it is better to join my team, that is, the royal guard, but the two of you don't have to worry about no military merits, we have recently received an order to exterminate the bandits, they are a little rampant, and there are some things to investigate. What do you two think?" asked Zhao Ting.

Zu Zhenlin originally planned to sneak into the palace, but now he is a palace guard, but he couldn't ask for it at that time, "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the eldest lady." ”

"Okay, that's it. ”

Zhao Ting turned her head and said to a sergeant next to her, that is, the sergeant who shot that day: "Zhao Lin, you take them to the place where they live, put their things away first, and then go to get weapons and equipment." ”

The burly man replied, "Obey." You two come with me. ”

Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao bowed to Zhao Ting and left.

Out of the hall, the burly man laughed, "Hello, my name is Zhao Lin, we will be a family in the future, I am your captain, if you have something, you can come to me, you are welcome, you have entered the army, everyone is brothers, and when you get to the battlefield, you will understand the true meaning of comrades-in-arms." ”

The burly man looked mighty, but approachable.

"Captain Xie Zhao. Li Cao said.

"You're welcome. Zhao Lin waved his hand.

The three of them entered a mansion where there was no one inside.

"This time, everyone followed the eldest lady out to suppress the bandits, and the eldest lady gave us a bonus and a holiday, so everyone should go out and relax. You're in this room, and it's just the two of you. Once you've put your things away, don't pack them up yet, just follow me first. Zhao Lin said.

Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao put their things in one place first, and then followed Zhao Lin out of the courtyard, turning around and coming to a remote place.

Zhao Lin found an old man, the old man's face was old, his skin was like the folds of old bark, his skin was dry, his hair was sparse and gray, but his eyes were bright.

"Old Caitou, these are two recruits, you can find suitable armor and clothes, and equip them with weapons. This is the seal of the eldest lady. ”

Zhao Lin said, took out the paperwork signed by the eldest lady, and handed it to the old man.

Lao Cai took a look, put it away, and then led Zhenlin and them into the armory. This armory is not large, it is only for the palace guards, in fact, private individuals are not allowed to store military-made weapons and equipment, but King Yan is special.

Lao Cai looked at Zhenlin and Li Cao, and went to get the armor, which fit very well. Then go and get a weapon, a knife and a light crossbow. Zu Zhenlin looked at the saber, couldn't help but think of the tragic situation in Lijia Village, and clenched his fists.

"What's wrong with the two of you? Seeing that your face is not good, is there something wrong?" Lao Cai's eyes were vicious.

"Oh, nothing, I just didn't expect us to be real soldiers. Zu Zhenlin said perfunctorily and calmed down.

Zu Zhenlin observed the armory, all the weapons and armor were brand new, and there was a cold light, but he felt a little awkward in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Alright, that's your stuff, it's all there. Lao Cai Tou said.

"Then thank you, old man. ”

Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao followed Lao Caitou out.

Zhao Lin sat on a chair and drank tea.

"Okay, it's all done, you little, I just got some tea, you can give it to me, get out of here." Lao Cai scolded with a smile.

"Alright, old man, let's go. ”

Zhao Lin left.

"Don't underestimate this old man, he is amazing, he followed the prince around to fight, and it was rumored that he saved the prince's life, but he was too old to fight anymore, and he didn't like to be an official, and he was a person, lonely, so the prince let him guard the armory in the palace. ”

"By the way, because of the holiday these days, you don't have anything to do, you can also go out and shop again, and after three days, I'm afraid there will be no chance, and you will start training. Recently, there has been an increase in banditry, and there may be bandits who have done despicable things in the name of our Yan army, so we must find them and bring them to justice. Zhao Lin gritted his teeth and hated.

"Is General Zhao referring to the recent massacre that happened in a neighboring country? We came from over there, and they rumored that it was our army's doing, didn't the general think so?" Zu Zhenlin asked by the way.

"Of course not, we are under the strict orders of the prince, we are disciplined, and we will never do such a crazy thing to treat the people, this is a life-saving business. ”

"But everyone participates, won't no one say it?"

"Privately transferring troops and horses is a big crime, coupled with indiscriminate killing of innocents, it is possible to kill all the people, who do you say dare to do it?"

Zhao Lin had a resolute attitude, and he didn't believe that it was Yan Jun who did it, and decided that it was either Yanguo's own people who did it, or bandits.

Zu Zhenlin is not good to say more, it is not good to say more to arouse the disgust and suspicion of the other party, but Zhenlin still will not rule out the suspicion of Yan Jun's doing, Zu Zhenlin just wants to find out the mastermind of the murder and avenge Lijiacun.

"It's an access token, but there are some places you can't go, so don't break in. Zhao Lin warned.

"Got it. ”

--------

Liu Miao, a soldier of the military department, sat in a sedan chair, anxious in his heart, and sent his grandson out to fight the front station, but he never returned.

Liu Miao entered the city and went straight to the Yamen of the Assassin Shi, and the Lord of the Assassin and a group of subordinates had already greeted each other in front of the mansion, but they did not see the arrogant King Yan. I was unhappy in my heart, really, I thought that when the emperor was in power, he indulged you and let you do whatever you wanted. He dared not to greet him, the Lord of the Holy Majesty.

Liu Miao walked out of the sedan chair, and Lord Thorn Shi greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Lord Chincha has been traveling all the way, but fortunately. ”

"It's not hard, it's my honor to do things for the emperor, how can I say it's hard?" Liu Miao held the shelf.

"Yes, yes, the lower official said the wrong thing. ”

"Alas, why didn't you see King Yan, what is he doing?" Liu Miao asked directly.

"Ah, the prince should be in the palace, right? If you want to see you, just go to the palace. Thorn Shi replied.

"What? I inspected the border on behalf of the emperor, and he asked me to see him, what a big face. Go, send a message to him, and say that Lord Ben is waiting for him in the Assassin's Mansion, and ask him to receive the order quickly. ”

"My lord, isn't this okay?"

"Needless to say, I have my own opinions. Liu Miao said firmly.

But the assassin did not call people to pass the word.

"What? Doesn't it work for me to talk? Liu Miao said angrily.

Thorn Shi is neither humble nor arrogant, "My lord, King Yan has never left the mansion to receive the order, we don't know how this word should be transmitted." Otherwise, the adults should send someone to pass the word, if the transmission is wrong, the lower officials can't afford it. ”

"You...... Okay, come on, go to King Yan's mansion and ask King Yan to answer the order. ”

"Yes. ”

With the support of everyone, Liu Miao entered the Assassin's Mansion and sat directly on the main seat, not politely, showing the prestige of Shangguan.

"Lord Thorn Shi, I sent someone to inform you a few days ago, but my people haven't returned for a long time, do you know that they are taking it?" asked Liu Miao.

"My lord, you know, they are in prison. Thorn Shi said truthfully.

"What? What did you say? You locked them up, why? What right do you have to do that? They are my attendants. Liu Miao was even more angry.

"Back to my lord, they rode in the city, and almost killed people, but they happened to be bumped into by the princess, and they were punished with whips, and then they were locked in prison. Thorn Shi said calmly.

"Princess, why didn't I know there was a princess here?" Liu Miao wondered.

"My lord doesn't know, before the adult became an official, the emperor had already named the daughter of King Yan as Princess Ling Yan, and I was talking about the eldest lady of the palace, Princess Zhao Ting. Thorn Shi replied.

"Then you can't arrest my people, even if there is anything wrong, Lord Ben will deal with it. Bring people out first. Liu Miao commanded.

"I'm sorry, my lord, I don't have the right to release without King Yan's order, you better talk to King Yan. The lower officials can't be the masters. "Assassin Shi Dao.

"Whoever let you call the shots, I just let you go. ”

Liu Miao has never been treated like this, she has always been respected, and this time she was despised everywhere when she came here, and she was furious in her heart, and decided to join them.

"It just needs King Yan's order to release people. ”

"You ......"

Liu Miao was helpless, he was not granted the will by the emperor to act cheaply, and he could only participate in the aftermath.

Half an hour later, the person sent by Liu Miao came back, his face was red and swollen, and he was beaten very lightly.
