CHAPTER XIII
After five days, the black purple spirit Xuanxi men's clothes are wearing armor, sit on a ride with a whole body of oil black, called "Jueying", there is a horse on the left and right to follow, the left is the deputy general of Xiyue, about forty years old, and the right is Jiang Qianhan, in his twenties, tall and slender sitting on a horse, with a cold face, it is the queen Xuanyuan assigned to the Mo Ziling guard. Behind a few people followed Xiyue's 30,000 guards. When Dayue was founded, there was a Ming system, each vassal state had its own 100,000 guards, the king sent 100,000, the king sent a lord to govern the 100,000 soldiers sent by the king, and the lord would live under the princes and kings;
Stroking the reins, an inexplicable smile rose at the corner of Mo Ziling's mouth, and at this time, Brother Ah didn't know what he was in a hurry. Three days ago, the king came to proclaim the edict, and the king of Xiyue summoned his ministers to discuss in the main hall, and sure enough, the east side hall had more than half of the power among the ministers, headed by Wu Shilang, who was in charge of the Xiyue guard; How can the ancestor of Dayue establish a grandson but not a long-term son, and Moziyan is neither a son-in-law nor an eldest son. In such a matter of the king of diligence, if the princes and kings cannot go in person, they will be the sons of the world. When the dispute was over, Mr. Han sent a palace guard to deliver a letter to recommend his only disciple Mo Ziling, who led the army to King Qin, and said that this person was also the son of the world. The ministers in the hall were in an uproar, and there was no objection, so it was decided that the prince Mo Zilan would lead the troops to the king and set off two days later. At night, the queen suddenly fell ill and fainted in the main hall, Mo Zilan served his mother to filial piety, and went to the main hall to serve soup and feed medicine day and night. The specific reason for the conscription of troops was handed over to the chief general Mo Ziling to complete, and the ministers also appreciated it after two days of observation.
The night before departure, Mo Ziling sneaked into the main hall, stunned Mo Zilan, got the seal letter and was about to leave, but was stopped by Queen Xuanyuan and summoned out a person, it was Jiang Qianhan; My mother, your maternal grandmother, is the actual ruler of the Jiang clan, the Jiang clan is a descendant of the Shennong clan, and the Jiang clan's secret guard is known to the whole world. When I got married, my mother was not at ease, and I picked out the best team of Jiang's secret guards and gave it to me; Qianhan is the most top-notch person in this team of secret guards, and it is also my own nephew, who followed me to Xiyue since I was a child, and I... I haven't done much over the years, but it's a pity that this kid ····· You take him with you this time, at the end of this trip, he is willing to continue to follow you is your cronie, and I have nothing to do with it, if he wants to return to the Jiang family, you must not stop him. After speaking, he took out a sheepskin roll from his sleeve and handed it to Mo Ziling, but Mo Ziling did not answer.
The queen sighed and said, "This is the Shennong Hundred Herbs Sutra. Everyone in the world thinks that this book is in the possession of the royal family, but in fact it is only a few of the volumes, and it has always been in the hands of the Jiang family, but your grandmother passed it on to me, but I ······ You take it, this trip is dangerous, it will be beneficial for you to be silent, and you can give it to Lan'er when you come back. You only think about me for Lan'er's sake, if something happens to you, Lan'er will be sad. Seeing Mo Ziling put away the parchment scroll, he turned to Jiang Qianhan, who was standing aside, and said, "Qianhan, you are good at medicinal herbs, good at assassination, espionage, and strategy. As a woman, Ah Ling has a lot of inconveniences in the army, so you have to protect her like a guard! Seeing that Mo Ziling didn't say no, Jiang Qianhan didn't refuse, so he said tiredly: "Go." ”
Seeing that it was getting late, Mo Ziling said to Wu Meng, the deputy general on the left: "This is already the boundary of Jiayuguan, less than a hundred miles away from the main army of the royal capital, and the order is to go down to rest and cook on the spot, and send scouts to report to the main army tent of the royal capital, when will I join the army." ”
Wu Meng hesitated for a moment, seeing that Mo Ziling's expression became more and more cold, remembering that his clan brother was about to explain, he whispered and left.
When Jiang Qianhan saw Mo Ziling dismounting, he jumped down, walked to her side and stood still, and looked at Cangliao in the distance together. Jiang Qianhan has received the strict secret guard training of the Jiang family since he was a child, which is the growth that the children of the main branch of the Jiang family must experience. When he was depressed, his aunt sent him to travel with his cousin, and to be honest, he didn't have much hope at first, but after a few days of marching, he couldn't help but be impressed by this cousin who was not recognized by his family.
Suddenly, Mo Ziling retracted his gaze, saw Jiang Qianhan following by his side, frowned slightly, and walked towards the camp.
Jiang Qianhan frowned when he saw Mo Ziling, and asked, "Ah Ling is worried about this battle?"
Mo Ziling looked at him coldly and said, "I'm Mo Ziling, please don't make a mistake next time." What am I worried about? Isn't that what the main army of the royal capital should be worried about?" After speaking, he walked to the middle of the military guards and ate the meal.
Jiang Qianhan also ate the meal, and cheered for her cousin's answer in her heart, it was indeed not something she should be worried about, so she rushed to this sentence, grandmother will be satisfied when she hears it, it is worthy of the Jiang bloodline, cold enough!
After eating, Mo Ziling jumped on the top of a tree on the edge of the camp and leaned on a horizontal branch to look at the night sky. After a while, Wu Meng walked under the tree and reported that the commander wanted the Xiyue Wangjun to go to the army immediately, Mo Ziling whistled, and the shadow ran to the bottom of the tree, jumped directly from the top of the tree to the horse, and ordered: "Queue up." After speaking, he took the lead in lifting the reins.
An hour later, the Xiyue Wangjun came to the city of Jiayuguan, and Mo Ziling looked up at the thick city wall and motioned to Jiang Qianhan to report the favor. After a while, the city gate was opened, and a group of cavalry walked out, holding the red-edged Vermilion Bird banner on the ink background; the first person, in the year of the weak crown, with white robe and silver armor, was like a cultivated bamboo, and sat down on a white horse; the jade face smiled and said to Mo Ziling: "But Brother Zilan, the prince of Xiyue, has arrived? Nanchen Su Cangming came to greet him on the order of the commander. ”
Mo Ziling also clenched his fists and replied: "The prince of Xiyue is filial piety, serving the queen's decoction, and in Xia Mo Ziling, he is the staff of the prince and the disciple of Mr. Han, and he came to King Qin on the order of my king." ”
Su Cangming waited for her to approach, and saw that he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he was even thinner when he was wrapped in a black robe and armor, and couldn't help frowning and said: "My brother Guanxian is so young, he is actually a senior disciple of Mr. Han? I have heard that Mr. Han is a hermit master, and I have never heard that Mr. Han accepts apprentices. Virtuous Brother ······"
Mo Ziling said coldly: "Mr. often says: ambition is not in old age. Although I am young, how can I avoid serving my family and country? Besides, whether my master accepts apprentices or not, what does it matter to the world? Please ask Brother Su to lead the way, and I will present it to the commander. ”
Su Cangming was choked up, but he didn't look angry, and rode first after chuckling. Mo Ziling told Wu Meng to take the Xiyue Wang Jun to go to the camp with the military guards ordered by the royal capital, and he took Jiang Qianhan to the Shuai Mansion.
Su Cangming observed the two masters and servants of Mo Ziling, and couldn't help but ask again: "Brother Xian, your guard is different from ordinary people, and you are also from Mr. Han's family?"
Mo Ziling looked ahead and replied, "My master is only one disciple of mine. This person is Jiang's sister-in-law. ”
Su Cangming gasped, and was about to say something more, but he had already arrived at the coach's departure, so he dismounted and waited for the two to enter the house. Mo Ziling looked at the past, the green bricks and tiles, simple and old, like a family of poetry and books, and then think about the style of this Jiayu guard, it is also suitable.
Walking all the way, I saw two rows of military guards lined up on the side of the road, standing upright, and Mo Ziling silently praised the commander in his heart. The banner was unfurled, and it was impossible for the Beiqiang Xuanwu Banner to appear here, but the Dongyan Qinglong Banner was not seen, and Mo Ziling frowned and returned to coldness.
Walking into the conference hall, there were already a few people sitting or standing in the hall, and when they saw Mo Ziling and a few people walking in, they all stopped talking and looked at them suspiciously. When he looked up, he was about to pay respects, but he saw that a person on the main seat also got up and said strangely: "Ah Ling, why are you here?" Ji Yuchen said as he walked down the main seat, his clothes and gold armor, and his momentum was faintly coming.
Mo Ziling knelt down on one knee and said to the main seat: "The last general is Mo Ziling, the staff of the prince of Xiyue. Before leaving, the queen fell ill, and the prince served his mother to filial piety, and personally went to the bed to serve the decoction, and was afraid that he would not be able to be loyal to Dayue, so he was uneasy, so he sent his main general Xiyue Wang's army to Qinwang. In the future, I will follow the instructions of the prince: I will smear the liver and brain of my Dayue Dynasty! I also ask the commander to understand the heart of my son. Behind him, Jiang Qianhan also knelt on one knee.
Ji Yuchen hurriedly picked up Mo Ziling and said to a few people in the hall: "Don't underestimate General Mo's young age, he has been studying with Mr. Han for six years. This marshal had the privilege of listening to Mr. Han's teachings for several months and benefited a lot, and General Mo has done his best to pass on Mr. Han's true teachings, and he will definitely help our army. When the words fell, she saw that there was another person beside her, so she asked again: "Ah Ling, who is this person?"
Jiang Qianhan stepped forward and clenched his fists and said, "Jiang Qianhan of the Jiang clan is the personal guard of General Naimo." ”
An old man next to him exclaimed: "But the eldest son of the head of the Jiang family in Wangji, the legendary dragon does not see Jiang Qianhan?"
Jiang Qianhan bowed respectfully and replied: "It's exactly below." ”
Su Cangming looked at the reaction of everyone in the hall and smiled secretly in his heart: Who knows where this kid named Mo Ziling came from, and he actually had the eldest son of the Jiang family as his personal guard, isn't it frightening? It seems that his reaction is not ashamed······
After dealing with a few words, Mo Ziling asked to retreat, and Ji Yuchen said to Su Cangming: "Please ask Su Shizi to take Ah Ling down to arrange a place to live, and discuss the war tomorrow." ”
Su Cangming Yingnuo took Mo Ziling and the others out of the conference hall and walked towards the guest house, looking at Mo Ziling's thin figure and couldn't help but say: "Brother Ah Lingxian, the guest house here is tense, it is better for you to live in the same courtyard with me, and it is convenient for your brother to take care of you." ”
Mo Ziling said lightly: "No need, how can I bother Su Shizi's courtyard." Just find a clean room for the next and the guard. ”
Su Cangming chuckled lightly and didn't speak again, leaning slightly and leading the two to a small courtyard next to the courtyard where he lived, and watched the two of them pack up and turn around and walk back to their guest house. In Su Cangming's opinion, these two people are really interesting and worth befriending, and as for the distinction between the ranks of the world that his father often mentioned, he has already thrown out of the clouds at this moment······
Mo Ziling and the others packed up, went to the barracks to see that the Xiyue Wangjun had been settled, and then returned to the Shuaifu guest house to rest, waiting for the next day.
