The sun was scorching, the heat wave was rolling, and the cicadas on the trees were silenced.

On the corridor on the second floor of the main building of Chang'an Beiyi on the outskirts of Beijing, two sergeants in brocade clothes and gold armor avoided the dazzling sunlight, each leaning on the side of the middle column, one holding a pergola and squinting at the official road in the north, and the other kept looking at the direction of the capital.

The beads of sweat on his sideburns were dripping, Xue Yi reached out and wanted to take out a sweat towel to wipe it, but as soon as his hand stopped at his waist, he shook his head and stopped.

This inexplicable errand, I don't know how long I have to wait, this sweat is wiped in vain! In the dog days, he and Feng Chao were dressed so neatly, and they looked majestic from a distance, but in fact, there were words of suffering.

"Brother Xue, why hasn't our family arrived yet?" Feng Chao, who was facing away from him, said with a bitter face.

They had arrived at the inn last night, and had waited another morning, but they still didn't see the adults come to meet them.

"My lord, ——, which flower shop are you going to drink wine in?"

Than Feng Chaoduo has been in the palace for two years, Xue Yi has already seen his own adults thoroughly, if he can arrive on time on an errand, it will be the sun coming out in the west.

He and Feng Chao belong to the East Palace's Right Inner Mansion, although it is quite inconspicuous in the Ten Rates Mansion, the top boss Right Inner Deputy Leader Su is the number one person in the East Palace. Merely...... This is not a glorious moment, indiscriminately filling, fishing in troubled waters, and a vegetarian meal in the corpse position...... These words are all exclusive to their own adults.

Thanks to the shadow of his ancestors, Su Xiaozhou, who was born in the Jin Wuwei family, was elected to the palace since he was a child, and for more than ten years, he has been without merit and fault, from the prince's companion all the way to the deputy rate of one of the ten rate mansions, "Right Inner Rate Mansion", and also acted as the vacant right inner rate chief.

Master Su was confused on weekdays, and he didn't even know much about his responsibilities in leading the house, and when asked about the affairs of the mansion by the officials, he often didn't know anything. He is also not interested in the art of war and drills that other leading governments are keen on, and it is good to be able to lead the troops to exercise two or three times a month, but Xiu Mu is very punctual every time, and from time to time he has to take leave to go home to visit relatives or go to Fang City to spend time drinking.

Originally, with a boss who was messing around, even if he had no future, at least people could be safe and relaxed. But on the contrary, his own adults are ordinary, harmless to people and animals, but they have not been able to manage interpersonal relationships, so they are often "cared for" by the officials, and the errands on weekdays are no less than those of other rates, but they are all trivial and insignificant errands.

Three years of recruits, three years of government soldiers, seeing that the brothers who enlisted in the army at the same time have been mixed up elsewhere, and many of them have even been transferred north to make contributions, Xue Yi is anxious and helpless, and he has no blood, but he can only waste his time under the incompetent Shangguan.

No, recently, the adults took on another chore--to pick up a General Li who had returned to Beijing from Anbei at the post station.

Since it is returning to Beijing from the frontier, if it is a civil and military official above the fifth grade, it is natural that the Ministry of Officials will send someone to pick it up; That General Li has a national surname, and if he is a member of the clan or a member of the family, there is no need for the East Palace to send someone to pick him up. Since it is not either of the two, the most likely thing is that he has a low official position, an ordinary background, and does not know which official in the East Palace has a personal relationship or a relation, relying on his own adult's good talk, this errand is assigned to him.

Although you can send a message back to Beijing every time you arrive at the post station, you can calculate an approximate arrival time, but it is far less accurate. Coming out on an errand on a hot day, waiting left and right is the most tiring, and no one wants to take this job when I hear it!

Three days ago, Master Su came to the mansion to order troops, and he and Feng Chao were on duty late...... Unfortunately selected.

Fortunately for the misfortune, according to the latest letter, General Lee should have arrived on these two days.

Fortunately, Lord Su may have been idle in the palace, and he decided to personally lead them to pick them up. However, when he also went out of the city on an errand, everyone else rode horses, but he wanted to take a car, and he also said in a high-sounding manner that he might have to stay out, and every personal belongings were essential.

Riding in a car, he also has a quirk - he can't ride with people! So they let them go out of the city first, and agreed to meet at the post station early this morning.

At this time, it was as if it was past noon, but he did not show up for a long time, it was really ...... It's exactly what they expected.

"Eh——, why are my eldest brother and I so unlucky? Adult, he ...... It's too unscored. Feng Chao couldn't help but sigh.

Although there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and he should not complain about the chief and any of his decisions behind his back, Brother Xue is loyal and benevolent, and it doesn't matter if he expresses his heart in front of him.

"You can't say that......"

Feng Chao is still a newcomer, Xue Yi didn't want to see him depressed, so he hurriedly made up for it and said, "Although our family is a master of civil governance and martial arts...... are not good, but he has been in the East Palace for more than ten years, and he has won the ...... of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Trust. You have done all the errands arranged by the adults, maybe one day he will be happy and say a few good words in front of His Royal Highness...... There is still a chance for a great future......"

When he said this, even he didn't believe it.

In addition to Su Xiaozhou's lack of talent, one of the biggest problems is that he does not fight or grab, he grew up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since he was a child, he is the elder of the East Palace, but he is still the deputy leader, which shows that he does not want to forge ahead.

He doesn't care about personal gains and losses, all because he was born in a meritorious family, the honor of the first family, his father is the governor of Jingzhou, and his brother is the general of Yulin Zhonglang, a gentleman who doesn't have to worry about breaking his legs, how can he care about the future of the people below.

"Hey——, big brother, isn't that person?"

Feng Chao exclaimed, as if a hard labor was about to end.

Xue Yi looked back, the direction of his finger, on the official road that could be seen in the distance, a tall horse with pale gold coat, carrying a young man with dark skin and wearing border armor, was striding in the direction of the post station.

At this time of year, at this hour, there were few pedestrians on the wide official road, and the man's mount and dress were too eye-catching. Sweat and blood BMW, silver light armor, black iron knife...... It's all in the border army system.

Isn't it the General Li they are waiting for!

That's great...... That's great!

The two tried their best to restrain the joy in their hearts, maintained the majestic posture of the Inner House Army, trotted all the way downstairs, and quickly and unhurriedly greeted the gate of the post station.

"General Lee—"

"General Lee! All the way, hard work! ”

The enthusiasm and openness of Chang'an people are fully displayed in their bright smiles.

"Huh?"

The young man straightened his chest and his gaze swept over them.

"You-"

Before he could say anything, he heard a sound of "bang-" and a stream of black water poured down from the attic on the side, pouring it on him impartially.

"Hmm-ahem——, you guys...... Who? This is...... What is it? ”

The young man wiped his face in a panic, this pungent smell of black water falling from the sky, and the two military masters who greeted each other with inexplicable smiles, he wanted to know what it was?

"It's ......"

Touching a drop of water splashed on his face, swiping it on his fingertips, and sniffing, Xue Yi's face immediately changed greatly.

"Ah——, it's fire oil! General be careful! He shouted, dragged Feng Chao back a few feet, took advantage of the situation to pull out his saber, looked around, and became vigilant.
