Chapter 9 A drink and a peck are not predetermined

The old eunuch walked out of the imperial study, did not dare to delay for a moment, and walked in the direction of the Suzaku camp.

The Shenji Army is the guard guarding the palace, and it is divided into four battalions with Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu, each performing its own duties, and what he is looking for is the Vermilion Bird Battalion that is specifically responsible for the research and development of equipment and punishment.

Hitting a board is a very professional punishment, and an experienced executioner can make you unwound, but you will die in seven days, or you can open your skin and flesh, but you can get out of bed in two days.

Whether this is life or death depends on the meaning above.

If the emperor wants to let the old eunuch supervise the execution, if he wants to let the six princes suffer without hurting, and if he wants him to bow his head and admit his mistakes, then he must choose the most powerful master of cane punishment.

The old eunuch knew everything inside and outside the palace, and he didn't need others to guide him, so he arrived at the place in a short time.

The little soldier guarding the gate saw it from afar, and hurriedly greeted him, and said respectfully: "I have seen Lord Palm Print." ”

The palm seal eunuch Wang Mo is the well-known name of this old eunuch, this is the most trusted person around the emperor, and no one will treat him as an ordinary slave with the eunuch as the official position of a second-rank official.

How dare the guards of the Suzaku Battalion slack off, bending over and smiling as if they were serving their ancestors.

The old eunuch didn't show any official authority to these little soldiers, and said straight to the point: "Is Commander Xu here?" ”

The little soldier hurriedly said: "Back to the adult's words, today is not a coincidence, the commander is on duty, not in the camp, please wait a while, I will go to pass the word." ”

The old eunuch waved his hand and said, "Don't work so hard, I'll borrow a few people, and if you know them, bring them to me." Time is tight, so I won't go in. ”

"Oh? My lord, who do you want? The soldier asked.

"The board is the best."

"Yes, please wait."

The creep bent over and stepped back quickly, waiting until he was back into the barracks before turning and running inside.

After a while, the guard came out with a few soldiers of the Suzaku Battalion wearing scarlet thin armor.

The old eunuch took a look at it and asked, "You people, who has the best board?" ”

As soon as the words ended, everyone looked at the youngest person in the crowd.

This pawn of the Suzaku Battalion looks less than twenty, and he looks immature, but he didn't expect it to be the most powerful one.

The old eunuch lived most of his life, and he saw a lot of strange people and strange things, and he didn't judge people by his appearance, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The boy replied, "Back to the words of the lord, the captain of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, Wang Shishi." ”

The old eunuch smiled: "This name is hard enough, and I am still from my family." I heard that the board in the Suzaku camp has to be beaten through the wooden plank, and the tofu is not broken before the wooden board is broken, how many layers of tofu can you beat? ”

Wang Shishi said: "If you go back to the adult, you can hit the ninth layer." ”

Nine-layer tofu, this is the highest level in the Suzaku camp, I didn't expect this kid to be young and already have this kind of ability.

The old eunuch never suspected him of lying, and few people in this palace dared to lie to him.

"I will take you on a mission with you, take your fellows, and we will set off now, and it is estimated that it will take five or six days to go back and forth. Captain Wang, can you leave now? ”

As the old eunuch spoke, he looked at the small black belt on Wang Shishi's arm. This position is tied with a black cloth, probably because the family reported the funeral, and an elder passed away. It's just that this strap is thin and small, and I really can't notice it if I don't look at it carefully.

Wang Shishi didn't expect this adult to even pay attention to this, and hurriedly said, "If you can go, you can now." ”

"Well, that's without further ado. After three quarters of an hour, the noon gate was assembled. ”

The old eunuch walked away without any delay.

It's just that after the old eunuch left, those soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Battalion looked at Wang Shishi, and their eyes were not too friendly.

Someone patted him on the shoulder and said, "Stone, we know you have a grudge in your heart, but don't bother us." ”

Wang Shishi didn't speak, but grabbed the long stick in his hand.

When everyone saw him like this, they didn't dare to say much, and they each sighed and went back to pack their things.

After a while, several carriages left the palace and headed towards Xuanxuanguan.

At this time, in the back mountain of Xuanxuan Guan, Zhong Yangming and Qingxuan's master and servant were nibbling on steamed buns with white porridge.

Zhong Yangming ate half of it, and sighed with some emotion: "It turns out that the exterminator didn't lie, although it was said that you girl can eat white food without working, but the quality is much worse than that of the Taoist priest of Xuanxuanguan." ”

The rice and grain were all sent from the mountain, and the amount was quite large, enough for the master and servant to eat for a month. But there is only rice and noodles, and nothing else, compared with the dozens of breakfasts in the Xuanxuguan canteen, it is really quite simple.

Zhong Yangming has a big appetite now, and eating these is definitely not enough, he needs to find a way to supplement himself with some nutrition.

Of course, he could go down the mountain and continue to eat, but every time he walked thousands of steps up and down the mountain, it was too tiring, and the mana he had cultivated was too wasteful to use in this kind of thing.

Zhong Yangming looked at his personal maid and asked, "Qingxuan, do you know how to hunt?" ”

Qing Xuan thought seriously for a while, and then said, "No, but the slave can try." It's a big mountain, so it shouldn't be difficult to catch a few rabbits. ”

"Forget it, I'll go."

Since they are all novices, Zhong Yangming has mana, and the success rate is definitely higher. Moreover, this mountain is high and dense, Zhong Yangming is afraid that Qingxuan will encounter fierce beasts such as tigers, leopards and black bears, and the little girl has a firewood knife in her hand, which is easy to have accidents.

Hearing that Zhong Yangming was going to hunt, Qing Xuan hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Qing Xuan wants to eat bear paws today!" ”

Zhong Yangming gently pushed the little girl's head and scolded: "What about you putting this food aside?" Treat me as a cook? ”

Qing Xuan said strangely: "But, Your Highness, you are an immortal, can't an immortal do anything?" ”

This little girl, when it comes to eating, her brain turns quite fast.

Zhong Yangming didn't bother to explain to her, strode out of his "garden villa" and walked straight into the dense forest.

The back mountain of this Xuanxuguan is indeed not small, mainly because the Xuanxuguan has a special status, and a radius of 100 miles is regarded as all the Xuanxuguan, which is like a fiefdom, so there are few people, and this forest is a little wild.

The wilder the forest, the more you can harvest from hunting.

Zhong Yangming didn't know how to smell the smell and check the feces, and he didn't know how to put bait and set traps, but he was quick with his eyes and hands, and after running in the forest for a while, he had a fat head in his hand...... I don't know what it is.

"Is this a deer, or is it a roe deer?"

As a feudal royal moth who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, it is normal not to know animals.

Anyway, Zhong Yangming ran to this thing, reached out and pinched it, and broke its neck. Weighing it with his hands, it weighed fifty or sixty pounds. Remove the fur, viscera, bones and whatever, it is estimated that there will be twenty catties of meat, which can be roasted and eaten.

A fawn is not enough for Zhong Yangming to eat, Qingxuan also named to eat bear paws, for the sake of this girl's busy work, Zhong Yangming decided to look for two more laps in the forest.

Zhong Yangming carried the deer on his shoulders and continued to walk into the forest, not far away, the sound of rushing water came, there was a waterfall on this mountain?

Zhong Yangming walked along the sound of the water, but saw a familiar figure dancing a sword by the waterfall.

Zhong Yangming greeted loudly: "Senior Sister Miaoyun, why are you here?" ”

The sword-wielding man stopped, and said to Zhong Yangming with a sullen face, "It's Senior Brother." ”

"Okay, senior brother, why did you come to this back mountain to practice swords?"

Miaoyun glanced at Zhong Yangming, and then said, "It seems that junior brother, you really don't listen to things outside the window, you don't know how much trouble you caused by defeating Zhou Miaohua with one punch." Now the Xuanxuan Guan people are impetuous, and the Miao Zi generation is clamoring to find a way back, so I don't bother to pay attention to it, so I can only find a quiet place to practice swords. ”

Zhong Yangming really didn't pay attention to these, he was separated from Xuanxuguan by five thousand stairs, as if he was separated by a city.

Zhong Yangming sighed: "That was really unexpected, I thought they would stop, but I didn't expect that the popularity of Miaohua was not bad that week." ”

Miaoyun didn't answer Zhong Yangming's words, and suddenly asked a little abruptly: "The punch you made last time only had the power of one blow, am I right?" ”

Zhong Yangming didn't expect her to be so observant, at that time, his mana was meager, and he really only had the power of one blow.

Seeing the change in Zhong Yangming's expression, Miao Yun knew that she had guessed correctly, so she continued: "Then you have to be careful, I can guess, and so can they." ”

"Aren't you also a wonderful character, why are you helping me?" Zhong Yangming asked.

Miaoyun was silent for a moment, and said to Zhong Yangming: "I heard that you were punished for scolding the emperor and hundreds of officials for the disaster relief in Jiangnan, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhong Yangming nodded and said, "That's right." ”

"Do you regret it?" Miaoyun asked again.

Zhong Yangming shook his head and said: "Ask for your life for the people, what is there to regret, I can only say that it is a pity that I am soft-spoken and failed to make my father change his mind." ”

Miaoyun smiled lightly, like a cold plum blooming, melting the winter snow.

"Senior Brother Yuji, I'm from Jiangnan."

Miao Yun said.
