Chapter Thirty-Six: This Will Be a Vital Place

"General Li, General Qibi, General Liu, the last general is here to report today!"

On the right side of Daming Palace, outside the Nine Immortals Gate, the right Yulin army camp, in the main tent of the camp, Liu Yi, who had just come in, saluted Li Duozuo, the general of the right Yulin army, and Qi Ming, and Liu Renjing, the generals of the right Yulin army.

Liu Yi's vacation has ended, and he also returned to the palace on duty, he returned to the Zuo Qianniu Guard, handled the affairs of his subordinates, and listened to the Qianniu Guard General Zhang Renyuan arranged the next duty task, and then reported to the Right Yulin Army.

Liu Yi returned from the expedition, was transferred to the actual position of the Qianniu Wei Zhonglang general, and also concurrently led the inspection of the right Yulin Junlang general, according to the regulations, he must go to the Yulin Army to be on duty for a few days every month, so after returning to the Qianniu Guard, he immediately went to the Yulin Army to report, and these main generals of the Yulin Army met with each other, listened to their instructions, and then contacted the feelings.

"General Liu, I would like to welcome such an excellent general as you to serve in the Yulin Army, I hope you can change your position in the future and stay in the Yulin Army!" Li Duozuo, the general of the Right Yulin Army, did not hide his good impression of Liu Yi at all, and after Liu Yi saluted, he stepped down from the tent, came to Liu Yi, and patted Liu Yi's shoulder very affectionately.

"Thank you for the care of the general, the last general is not familiar with the affairs of the Yulin Army at all, everything depends on the general, as well as General Qibi and General Liu's care, if there is anything wrong on duty, please ask a few generals to correct it!" Liu Yi straightened up and said. Liu Yi didn't know if it was Wu Zetian's special care to let him serve in the Right Yulin Army, and knew that Li Duozuo and Qi Ming had a good impression of him. Relative to the Zuo Yu Lin Army, who has never dealt with each other, Liu Yi of course likes the Right Yu Lin Army with Li Duozuo and Qi Biming, these two generals have fought with him in the martial arts competition, and there is a taste of sympathy between several people, these two generals also left him with a good impression, although the other general Liu Renjing seems to be a little dissatisfied with him.

"General Liu is polite, the general's literary and martial arts are extraordinary, and he has won the appreciation of His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven, and it is our honor to serve in my right Yulin Army!" Qi Biming on the side had a smile on his face and said haha.

Liu Renjing, who was slightly embarrassed on his face, heard that Li Duozuo and Qi Biming were so affectionate to Liu Yi, and he had to come over to express his attitude, "General Liu bravely won the three armies, and his reputation is resounding inside and outside Chang'an, it is really an honor for the last general to be able to work with General Liu..."

Li Duozuo smiled and pointed at Liu Renjing and said, "General Liu, when you come to the Right Yulin Army, you will be assigned to General Liu Renjing's subordinates, and listen to General Liu's orders..."

Liu Yi felt that when Li Duozuo was saying this, the corners of his eyes were obviously picked, as if he had something special to say, and he was a little puzzled, and it was not easy to ask, so he hurriedly saluted Liu Renjing: "The last general has just arrived, and some things still need General Liu's advice..."

"General Liu is polite, you won't be on duty in the Yulin Army too much, when you are on duty, I will tell you in detail about some things, General Li should order you, presumably a smart person like General Liu will soon be familiar with the affairs of the Yulin Army!" Liu Renjing returned the salute, and then saluted Li Duozuo and Qi Biming, "General Li, General Qibi, the last general went first..."

"General Liu, let's go, don't delay you on duty!" Li Duozuo waved his hand and gestured.

Today, it is Liu Renjing who is in charge of the guard duty in the Xuanwu Gate area, and he was just called back by Li Duozuo, so that he and Liu Yi can meet for a while, and after seeing it, he naturally wants to go back to perform his duties.

"The last will retire!" Liu Renjing saluted, didn't look at Liu Yi again, and withdrew.

Seeing Liu Renjing retreating, Li Duozuo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his formal expression just now eased up, patted Liu Yi on the shoulder and said, "General Liu!" In a while, you will go with the general to inspect the place where our right Yulin army is fortified, and I will tell you about some things that need to be paid attention to!"

"Thank you, General!" Liu Yi hurriedly saluted and thanked him, he wanted to know why he had to be assigned to Liu Renjing's subordinates, not Qi Ming's subordinates, Liu Yi did not know for the time being whether this arrangement was decided by Li Duozuo or if it was someone else's intention.

Li Duozuo motioned for Liu Yi to step aside, and he pointed to a map of Daming Palace hanging on the wall and explained to Liu Yi: "General Liu, this is the map of Daming Palace, and our right Yulin Army is guarding this place..."

Li Duozuo pointed to the city gates and palaces marked on the map and said: "The camp of our right Yulin army is outside the Nine Immortals Gate, and the town guards are from the right Yintai Gate to the Xuanwu Gate and the Chongxuanmen area, and the Xuanwu Gate is the most heavily guarded place for us..."

Hearing Li Duozuo talk about Xuanwu Gate, Liu Yi's heart jumped suddenly, this name was too sensitive for him. Liu Yi knew that Li Shimin in history staged a mutiny in Xuanwumen, killed his brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and seized the throne. Although it is said that it is the Xuanwu Gate of Taiji Palace, but the Xuanwu Gate that is counted as the north gate of the imperial city, whether it is in Taiji Palace or Daming Palace, its important surname is not ordinary, Liu Yi also knows that Li Longji, the historical Tang Xuanzong, also launched a mutiny in Xuanwu Gate and finally seized the throne, and Li Longji launched a mutiny, it was the Xuanwu Gate of Daming Palace.

"The sergeants on duty every day are changed to three shifts, every three hours during the day, and six hours at night, and the shift time is..."Li Duozuo explained the content and rules of the Yulin Army on duty to Liu Yi in detail, "The generals on duty each time have a Zhonglang general, a Lang general under him, and a Lang general who serves in other military guard inspection schools, just like General Liu..."

Today's Yulin Army has not yet fully read the strength, perhaps in order to strengthen the control of the Beiya Forbidden Army, to prevent the Yulin Army generals from abusing their powers, there are many other middle and senior officers of the military guard to serve in the Yulin Army Inspection School, of course, these inspection school generals are the emperor's or now powerful Empress Wu Zetian trusted generals, this may be a means to divide the leadership of the Yulin Army generals. The generals of the Yulin Army who came from other military guards to inspect the school also had to participate in the guard, including the night duty duty, once every ten days, and the duty task was six hours at night, almost from dark to dawn the next day.

The guards in these places must not make mistakes, and if something goes wrong, it may be a matter of losing their heads.

Li Duozuo roughly told Liu Yi about the situation in the Yulin Army, and told Liu Yi that he would be on duty in a few days, but the first time he was on duty, he would be on duty with another Yulin Army lieutenant general to familiarize himself with the affairs in case of mistakes, and after he was familiar with the situation, he would be in charge of a place alone, that is, a city gate.

After Li Duozuo finished speaking, Qi Biming on the side also added some information, and then said with some jokes: "General Liu, you can't make a mistake when you go to the Yulin Army to inspect the school, otherwise General Liu Renjing will not spare you..."

After Qi Biming finished speaking, he laughed, and Li Duozuo also laughed, and the laughter of these two generals made Liu Yi even more puzzled, is there any holiday between Liu Renjing and this Li Duozuo and Qi Ming, the two senior generals of the Yulin Army? He immediately asked, "The last general doesn't understand what the two generals mean..."

"You'll know in the future, but with General Liu's intelligence, if General Liu Renjing wants to stumble on you, it's not so easy to achieve!" Li Duozuo said meaningfully, then put away his expression, picked up the horsewhip from the table, and beckoned Liu Yi to say: "General Liu, let's go and inspect our defense area together!"

"Yes, General!" Liu Yi replied loudly.

The soldiers of the Yulin Army can ride horses in their own defense area, Liu Yi rode a horse, followed behind Li Duozuo and Qi Mingming, and some subordinate entourages, out of the Yulin Army camp, and first went to the vicinity of the Youyintai Gate that he was more familiar with.

"General Liu, to the south of the right Yintai Gate, that is, the place where the Right Jinwu Guard guards, we can't go over!" Li Duozuo pointed to the right silver gate with the horsewhip in his hand.

A group of several people went to the right Yintai Gate near, did not go up to the city tower, only turned around under the city gate tower, and under the salute of the guard sergeant, turned back and went to the direction of the Nine Immortals Gate, preparing to inspect the Xuanwu Gate.

Li Duozuo introduced the situation of the important places in the palace to Liu Yi beside him as he walked, although Liu Yi had already found out these situations, but when Li Duozuo talked about it, he still listened attentively.

Several people walked to the end of the Daming Palace, entered the city between the Xuanwu Gate and the Heavy Xuanmen, and walked in the direction of the Xuanwu Gate from the wide North Street.

Although Li Duozuo is the general of the right Yulin Army, and Qi Ming is also the general of the Yulin Army second only to Li Duozuo, but when they arrived in front of the Xuanwu Gate in the military attire of the group, the guards were still in full array, and the bows and arrows were aimed at them.

Liu Yi followed Li Duozuo and Qi Ming to ascend the tall Xuanwu Gate Tower, in the Xuanwu Gate Tower, the situation of the Forbidden Garden of Daming Palace can probably be seen clearly, and the nearby Xuanwu Palace, Sanqing Palace, Chengxiang Palace, Zilan Palace, etc. are all under his eyes, and he further understands that the sergeants guarding the Xuanwu Gate, under certain circumstances, can directly enter the North Garden of the palace where the royal members live.

Li Duozuo pointed to another city tower in the east and said: "General Liu, that is the Yinhan Gate, from the Yinhan Gate to the Zuoyintai Gate, and then to the Longshou Palace, it is the defense of the Zuo Yulin Army, we can't go over, otherwise..."

Although Li Duozuo didn't continue, Liu Yi knew that if he violated the rules and ran around in private, he might be shot by the guards as an assassin.

"General, the last general understands," Liu Yi stood on the city tower with the battlements, looking at the slightly wide square south of the Xuanwu Gate, he was also searching for the Xuanwu Gate mutiny that he knew in his memory that Li Longji commanded, and Liu Yi didn't know the details, but what he knew was that Shangguan Wan'er, who had become his woman just two days ago, was killed by Li Longji in this mutiny, ending his legendary life.

Liu Yi also knows that although such history is impossible to repeat, a similar situation may happen in the same way, and the city tower he is standing on will be a crucial place at a certain time...
