Qing Ran and Ye Yuanpei are really different.

He was born recklessly, and later followed Wen Qing, and then Zhuang Siyan, in general, he was not a regular army, he just ran the rivers and lakes.

But Ye Yuanpei, who was a general, was a regular army with a military background.

Therefore, he was in awe of these Ouchi guards, the Praetorian Guards, including the soldiers of various military camps, even if it was a new recruit, and rarely said that he looked down on them.

As he himself said, these people may not look good in normal times, but when the country is really in trouble, they will be more courageous than ordinary people when they are about to shed their blood.

Their lives are very precious, but they are very light, and after a battle, they often don't know how many are left there, never to return home.

Whether it is Zhuang Changyuan or King Rongchang, when they broke into the palace, these people who ran around were fine, and the most dead were the Ouchi guards and the Praetorian Guards, they were really fighting for their lives.

Ye Yuanpei sat there and thought about it and said: "I'm nothing now, it's not appropriate to always run in front of those people to speak, you still have a position, go and tell them the strength of this person, it's best to figure out what the other party is doing without doing anything." ”

Qing Ran was touched by his serious look, didn't say anything more, and went out of the city to the camp of the Praetorian Guard.

The main camp of the Praetorian Guard was in the north of the city, and there were several small battalions, which were guarded at different city gates.

It's okay for outsiders to enter the city individually, but if they lead troops, more than a certain number, the Praetorian Guards will directly come forward to stop them.

The right to transfer the Praetorian Guards used to be Ye Yuanpei and the emperor himself.

Now that Ye Yuanpei's military power has been withdrawn, the leader of the Praetorian Guard has directly relied on the talismans to deploy, and the talismans are all in Ling Tiancheng's hands.

So it's not appropriate to go in the past.

There's no better way to do it, and they're in a state of trouble now.

Although General Ye is super capable, he always doesn't like to show his face, and even leaves things like entering the palace to Miss Li to do, let alone them.

Like Jia Mingyuan of Dali Temple, although his official position is more decent, he has no friendship with the Praetorian Guard, and it is not suitable to go.

Qingran Qingshi is to lead an idle position in the court, in the eyes of the common people, it is also quite good, but in the capital where officials are like cows, especially in the eyes of the Praetorian Guards, they are no different from mountain bandits.

Qing Ran went out of the city to the Praetorian Guard camp, but was stopped from a distance.

The soldiers below had never seen him, and there was no military urgency, so they opened their mouths to see their commander, but the man directly refused.

Qing Ran knew that this was already polite, and it was possible to drag him out and beat him in the hands of a slightly dry soldier.

He has also been out of the house, has seen the world, and while he is saying good things about people, he carefully describes the people at the gate of the palace.

After finishing it, he reported his home, saying that he used to be a personal nurse with the imperial concubine.

Although these big men have also heard that the imperial concubine has a different personality, who would believe that she is often not in the palace and runs out with such a male guard?

It's okay not to say it, but I don't believe him when I say it.

Qing Ran was in a hurry, and finally sacrificed his idle job, and took out the corresponding seal tokens, and was invited into the camp by the two small soldiers.

But the commander of the Praetorian Guard did not come to see him, only a lieutenant general, and after listening to his words, he promised to say "I know" and asked someone to send him out.

Qing Ran hurriedly said: "You have to pay attention to this matter, that person's martial arts are very high, if you enter the palace at night and are unprepared, it may cause a big disaster." ”

The adjutant general didn't say anything in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart: "Entering the palace is the business of the Ouchi guards, you don't tell them, but come to the Praetorian Guards, you treat us as monkeys?" Not to mention that one person enters the palace, it is a group of people who break into the palace, and we cannot enter the city without the instructions of the soldiers, otherwise it will be a rebellion. There are really a lot of things in this ridiculous capital, and there is not much of it, and it will be messed up here. ”

After sending Qing Ran away, the deputy general was quite competent, and he didn't leave this matter behind, but went to the commander Wei Xinzheng.

Wei Xinzheng used to be Ye Yuanpei's subordinate, and the two of them also joined forces on the battlefield many times.

Now that Ye Yuanpei has stepped down, he has also been transferred back to the capital and taken over the post of commander of the Praetorian Guard.

It is not as heroic as indulging in killing on the battlefield, but it also has less risk and lives in peace.

At first, I didn't get used to it, but slowly I got used to it.

However, the judgment of the enemy situation is still sensitive, and there is not so much luck.

As soon as the adjutant general told him this, his eyes immediately widened: "Confused, why don't you bring someone to see me?" ”

The lieutenant general was a little unexpected: "The last general is worried that he is talking nonsense." ”

Wei Xinzheng glanced at him: "You think he is full of food, and come to the Praetorian Guard camp to talk nonsense?" He thinks his head is too strong, come and try your knife fast? ”

The vice general choked on him a little aggrieved, and opened his mouth to say, "It shouldn't have gone far, and the last general will go and call him back?" ”

Wei Xinzheng waved his hand and said, "No need, you can go into the city, find the chief manager of the inner guard, and tell him about it." ”

The lieutenant general took the order and went into the city.

Let's say that Qing Ran came out of the Praetorian Guards and entered the city from the north gate, and was still hesitating whether to go to the palace gate first to see if there was any news from Xiaoling, or to reply to Ye Yuanpei, when he saw a team of people rushing from outside the city to this side.

Judging from the clothes, it should be the person of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, who is in a hurry to catch up all the way.

Qing Ran grabbed one from behind and asked, "But who are you chasing?" ”

The soldier shook his hand angrily: "Of course it's chasing people, do we look like we're practicing running?" ”

Qingran: "......"

He must not have looked at the yellow calendar when he went out today, and he ran into a wall everywhere.

Anyway, he used to be majestic, whether it was following Wen Qing or Zhuang Siyan, where to do things, no one dared to do this to him, although he didn't have the psychology of bullying others, but what happened to him today was too unpleasant.

He wanted to slap the soldier up, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw that they had run away without a trace.

Qing Ran was a little angry and went straight to Jingzhao Mansion Yin.

Fortunately, the parents and officials in this capital are quite familiar with him, so they are naturally very polite, and they are Qingran adults.

Seeing his flattering appearance, Qing Ran was also uncomfortable, didn't say much, went straight to the point, and asked what the team at the city gate was chasing?

This poked the sore spot of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, and he gritted his teeth and said: "A fugitive, I was just caught two days ago, but I ran away today." That guy is a murderer, this time out, you can't kill again? ”

He walked around the house as he spoke, he was really anxious, and when he turned around, he saw Qing Ran's gaze at him, and said as if asking for help: "Lord Qing Ran, the lower officials heard that you are strong in martial arts, and this murderer is also a bit martial, even if my men chase him, I am afraid it will be difficult to take him down, can you please ......?"

Qing Ran looked at him coldly: "People have been running away for so long, even if I chase them out, I can't find them, you better think of another way." ”

When he came out of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, he didn't dare to stop his feet, and immediately went to find Ye Yuanpei.

"The person who ran must be Ning Wen." Qing Ran said.

Ye Yuanpei tapped lightly on the table with his hand, looked at the green trees outside the window, and said after a while: "Jingzhao Mansion Yin's gang is really enough straw bales, and they can't even bear this little thing." ”

Qing Ran didn't understand the meaning of his words, and shouted, "General, general...... I'm telling you about Nyingbon......"

"I know, Ning Wen will not run without complaint, now that everyone is gone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to catch it again for a while, you go and say hello to the patrol battalion, and tell them to pay close attention to the movements in the city, in case anyone dies."

When he said this, he looked out again: "It's going to get dark soon, and I don't know if he's going to kill tonight?" ”

This matter could not be delayed, and Qing Ran immediately went to the patrol camp again.

From the palace to General Ye's house, and from the house to the Praetorian Guards outside the city, to the Jingzhao Mansion Yin, and then to the patrol battalion, it sounds like a few place names, but it can really break your legs when you run.

Because these places are not concentrated at all, the running in the south and north of the city, even if he has two long legs, such a back and forth is enough to choke.

By the time I came out of the patrol camp, it was completely dark.

Qing Ran, who was tired and his legs were about to break, finally returned to his rented cabin, and as soon as he pushed the door in, he felt that the atmosphere in the house was a little different.

He was busy turning on the lights and unexpectedly saw Xiaoling sitting there.

Because he was afraid that Xiao Ling would come, he might not be there sometimes, so Qing Ran gave her a pair of keys here, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.

But seeing her at this time, Qing Ran was not only happy, but also had some hidden worries, and hurriedly asked, "But what's the matter?" How long have you been waiting here? ”

Xiaoling said softly: "I just arrived, and when I saw that you weren't there, I cleaned up the house and waited for you by the way." ”

Qing Ran's face smiled uncomfortably: "Thank you, I'm usually lazy." ”

Xiao Ling looked at him: "I'm busy running outside, so naturally I can't care about it here, it's okay, I'll come to help you clean up when I have time in the future." ”

Qing Ran let out a "hmm", and suddenly felt that this was not good.

A girl, so far, is still not related to herself, why should she take the responsibility of cleaning the house for herself?

Thinking about it like this, he hurriedly said, "No, I'll find an old mother to take care of it when I go back." ”

Xiao Ling looked up at him: "Could it be that the adults think I don't clean well?" ”

Qing Ran hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, I'm afraid of getting tired of the girl." ”

Xiaoling said: "What's so tiring about this, I used to be in the palace and the internal affairs office, no matter winter or summer, from morning to night, my hands were soaked in water, and it was not good." ”

When she said her hand, Qing Ran's gaze moved to hers.

Inexplicably in front of him, he seemed to see the picture of her braving the cold and washing clothes in ice water, and his hand unconsciously picked up Xiaoling's hand, buckled it to his palm, and held it tightly.

After a long time, he said: "I'll tell my mother, let you out, and follow me from now on, although I am also poor, I will never let you suffer like that again." ”

Xiao Ling's eyes were as bright as stars under the night light.

She raised her head slightly, looking at the man in front of her seriously, her face was calm, but her heart was like a sea of waves.
