Out of the courtyard where his mother lived, Jiang Qi remembered that he couldn't find the southeast and northwest at all, this was perhaps the most embarrassing day in Jiang Qi's life, and he actually got lost in his own courtyard.

But fortunately, there were more than a dozen servants behind him, and after half an hour, Jiang Qi finally walked to the gate with the help of the team.

At this moment, the middle door of Jiang's mansion was wide open, ready to welcome the master out, the rows of torches outside the door illuminated the night sky, and a Shuangyuan Xuan car was safely parked at the main entrance, and the four tall white horses with bright coats in front of the car had already put on their bridle and were ready to go.

At this moment, the carriage was full of soldiers wearing the gorgeous armor of the Praetorian Guard, no more, no less, a total of thirty-six people.

Just seeing this line, Jiang Qi couldn't help but be startled, not to mention the specifications, that is, the walnut wood used up and down the carriage, as well as the exquisite Shu brocade used for shelter on both sides of the carriage, are enough to make people smash their tongues, so luxurious and worthy. Naturally, Jiang Qi is also the first time to see such a specification.

Since ancient times, horse-drawn carriages have been a status symbol for travel, especially since the Qin and Han dynasties, there have been strict regulations, whether it is car decorations, flags, pulling carts, mules and horses. If the official overdues the system, the lighter one will be dismissed, and the heavier one will be retained.

Today's Han Dynasty generally uses a chariot without flags, and middle and high-ranking officials use a banner car. 600 to 1,000 officials hung a red flag on the left side, and only officials with more than 2,000 stone could hang a red flag on the left and right. And the Xuan car in front of Jiang Qi was only qualified to take by the three dukes and the liehous.

Jiang Qi had just stepped down the steps and before he could ask how there was such a big pomp, the soldiers who were still motionless in the cold wind turned sideways neatly and saluted Jiang Qi with armor: "I've seen the lord!" ”

"Why is Uncle Jiang Ren so pompous!" Seeing this, Jiang Qi couldn't help frowning, although he was very flamboyant on the battlefield, he had always been very low-key in life, not to mention that Luoyang didn't know how many eyes were looking at him at this time. Therefore, seeing such a big scene today, Jiang Qi was certainly a little unhappy.

Uncle Jiang Ren looked at his lord a little unhappy, and hurriedly explained: "Qi Yu lord, the carriage has already been built in the mansion, and the specifications are completed according to the etiquette with reference to the lord's official position, as for the guards, they are young and strong drawn from the Qilin guard, and now the lord is traveling with thirty-six soldiers." As for the armor, all of them were sent by the craftsman's battalion, and the horses that pulled the cart were four war horses of the same coat color selected by the army. ”

After saying this, Jiang Qi reacted, he had forgotten his current identity, and he did have these treatments according to the configuration of officials. Looking at the thirty-six tall and mighty guards, they were indeed somewhat familiar, and many of the various war horses they were leading had some scars. After looking at these Jiang Qi, he completely believed it.

However, when he saw these scarred war horses, Jiang Qi couldn't help but feel a little angry, he had already heard that the Son of Heaven had ordered that the last thousand good war horses left in Xiyuan be sent to the army.

But after a long time, he didn't even see a horse's hair, and then the scout inquired about the report, it turned out that those war horses did not leave the capital at all, and were first taken away by those princes and ministers for various reasons, and the rest was also divided between Yulin and Huben.

Of course, think about it, when the war was urgent, those princes and ministers did have some blood, but now that the war has basically subsided, how can they be idle. They don't care what your war horses are used for, supplementing their strength is the first place.

"Let's go." Thinking of the current bureaucrat Jiang Qi shook his head, tried not to think about those troubles, and waved his hand to get into the carriage.

When he got into the carriage, Jiang Qi realized that the surprise just now was too early, and as soon as he entered the carriage, the most attractive thing for Jiang Qi was naturally the body that was wider than the bed. In addition, the cushion under the body is made of two black bear skins, silk brocade quilt, nanmu dwarf, brass charcoal stove, antique yaoqin, curling incense burner, there are countless of them.

After looking at it, Jiang Qi found that the carriage was not much different from his room, but it was a little smaller, such a luxurious carriage, it didn't matter if the journey time was long, there were pastries when you were hungry, wine when you were thirsty, and you could find someone to play chess and make tea when you were bored.

At this moment, Jiang Qi understood why so many people cut off their heads to sell their official positions, and if they have power, they have everything.

The time of the journey passed in a hurry, and before Jiang Qi could study all the items in the car, the convoy had been running on the official road for more than an hour, and stopped at a hundred steps away from the barracks.

As soon as the carriage approached the garrison of the army, behind the antlers blocking the road outside the gate, a big man in iron armor and holding a sword in his hand immediately shouted: "Password!! ”

After shouting, the big man looked at the convoy coming towards the camp gate vigilantly, and the soldiers behind him were all bent bows and arrows, and their swords were unsheathed, just waiting for his order to take them down.

"Expedition to the North!" "Order!"

Hearing the shout, Uncle Jiang Ren, the leader of the convoy, pushed away the mask on his pocket and replied loudly.

"Triumph!" Dahan heard that it was indeed his own military camp and hurriedly replied.

However, after the dark password was confirmed, the big man did not let the soldiers lift the fence, but jumped out with a torch to determine who was coming.

Seeing the performance of the visitor, Uncle Jiang Ren smiled bitterly and said, "I said, Vice General Zhou, you are really verbose, you don't know me anymore!" ”

When Zhou Cang was still a personal soldier, after he attacked Guangzong City with the Jiang family's disciples, Uncle Jiang Ren was originally going to receive him to the sword battalion, but who knew that this Zhou Cang didn't give any face, just to go back and follow Guan Yu, even if it was to be a personal guard with a knife.

Hearing Zhou Cang's decision, many people said that he was a fool at that time, and everyone in the Jiang family army knew that the sword battalion was Jiang Qi's henchman, and he only obeyed the orders of the Chinese army, as long as he stayed for a while, he was not a general, but he Zhou Cang was willing to give up.

However, Uncle Jiang Ren was not satisfied with Zhou Cang's decision, but Jiang Qi and Guan Yu appreciated it, and asked how many people in the world were not moved by wealth and wealth.

Therefore, Guan Yu promoted Zhou Cang to deputy general a month later, although he had no actual military power, he could be regarded as the fastest rising army.

Seeing the person coming clearly, Zhou Cang was a little embarrassed and hurriedly asked: "It turned out to be Commander Jiang, who was rude and disrespectful, and dared to ask why the Commander was dressed like this?" ”

Zhou Cang himself also knew that he had offended the lord a lot, but fortunately, there was no intersection these days, and everyone was fine, of course, Zhou Cang would not forget that incident because of this.

"This is the armor of the forbidden army, the armor that only the two armies of Huben and Yulin have, this armor is the most valuable soldier armor of my Han Dynasty. This is sent by the imperial court to the lord's guard of honor and the soldiers, go and open the gate! The lord was in the car behind and was about to enter the camp. Saying that, Uncle Jiang Ren proudly patted the armor on his body, as if he was showing off, and as if he was saying who told you not to join the sword, otherwise he would also make a set for you. After speaking, Uncle Jiang Ren turned his head and pointed to the canopy behind him.

Hearing Uncle Jiang Ren's words, Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment, and said in his belly: "The lord is in good health!" Didn't you hear General Guan say that this lord would only appear when the dynasty was going on? ”

However, regret is doubtful, Zhou Cang did not stop at his feet, and hurriedly waved his hand to let the soldiers get out of the way, and he also stood aside respectfully, taking the rest of the soldiers to salute in armor.

As the antlers and other things blocking the road moved away, the convoy that had stopped for a moment continued to move, and Jiang Qi, who had already seen what was happening in Yuanmen, shouted "stop" to the soldiers driving when the carriage arrived at the position where Zhou Cang was standing.

After the carriage stopped, Jiang Qi didn't get out of the car, but just picked up a movable towel on the side, and asked Zhou Cang, who was guarding in the cold wind, "Why are you on duty today?" ”

As the main general, Jiang Qi knew very well that generally speaking, this guarding Yuanmen was done by the infantry army, and the battalion where Zhou Cang was located should be a scout.

Hearing the majestic voice of his own lord in the carriage, Zhou Cang didn't dare to raise his head, and quickly bent his bowed body a little, and explained in the original way: "Lord Qi, General Guan ordered to reward the three armies today, and the matter of the guards was handed over to our battalion, and Cang was ordered to take a tun to guard the gate." ”

Listening to the answer, Jiang Qi casually looked at a few energetic soldiers, nodded with satisfaction, and then shouted outside the car: "Well, that hard brother, slave 、、、、"

"Master." As soon as Jiang Qi's voice fell, the voice of the carving slave who had been with him for more than two months came in, and he still shouted the unique title of 'master' in the army.

Hearing the voice of the carved slave, Jiang Qi was stunned for a moment, this person came quite quickly, and he didn't hear the sound of dismounting This person came to the door, but then he reacted, just now the carved slave replied before the carriage shook a little, feeling that this carved slave is this coachman today.

Recall that just now I didn't pay attention to who was driving, and just now I wondered if the old coachman arranged by the family to frame the carriage so well, and now it seems that this carving slave is not only good at carving training, but also good at driving.

Think about this carving slave staying by his side for a few days, you can also properly release it to take a look, Jiang Ju, who just put it down a few days ago, is not doing a good job.

After thinking about it, Jiang Qi immediately said: "After returning to the camp, go to the Huotou camp, let me leave some good wine and food for the brothers of the guards, and when these brothers change the guard, they will have hot wine and food." ”

"There is also a camp that allows the fire head camp to send a pound of hot wine to each team of the brothers who are camping, and it is easy to get sick on a cold day, and let each brother drink two sips of this wine to keep warm, and the same will be true every day in the future. There are also two horsemen sent out, and some are also sent to the guerrilla scouts outside, but not more, no more than two taels per person. ”

"No, the minions will do it as soon as they enter the camp."

After the order was given, Jiang Qi nodded with a smile at Zhou Cang, lowered the curtain, and said in a slightly raised voice: "When you enter the camp, all the guards will dismount, and you are not allowed to ride horses in the camp." ”

As the carriage continued to move, the voice of a soldier who was touched by Jiang Qi's care came from behind him: "Send the lord 、、、、、"

However, there was no Zhou Cang among these people, because he was a little shocked when he peeked at Jiang Qi, the lord he saw in the past was a formidable battlefield general, how to take off his armor today, and as soon as he shaved his beard, he became a beautiful son.

Of course, in the past, everyone knew that his lord had a good face, but he never thought of changing his clothes, and he couldn't feel the murderous aura on his body, as long as he didn't speak, it was completely like two people.
