On the ninth day of November in the sixth year of Huangfeng, the wind and sun are beautiful, and there are no clouds, which is a rare sunny day for early winter.

Before dawn on this day, the palace people in the palace were busy non-stop, starting from the main gate of the palace Yingtianmen, and laying all kinds of pendant canopies all the way to the harem.

All the palaces in the palace and the open spaces outside the palace were cleaned, and festive red cloth lanterns were hung on the doors and four corners of the eaves.

Due to Zhao Yu's edict, this time the concubine was carried out in accordance with the queen's specifications, but the number and scale were halved, so the main road of the harem was not paved with a red carpet embroidered with dragon and phoenix auspicious patterns, but only an ordinary red carpet.

Nuanchun Pavilion, the palace where the imperial concubine is about to stay, is the top priority of this dress-up.

The palace people carefully arranged the emperor's throne, the system, the festival and the roster needed for the emperor's wedding, as well as silk flowers, colorful trees and many other items.

In addition to the palace people, the palace guards started patrolling early, and they opened their eyes wide, carefully staring at every corner of the palace, for fear that there would be a mistake.

As Zhang Xiu, who has always been valued by Zhao Yu, got up early, left his mansion under the instructions of his aunt Zou, and led the forbidden army to patrol non-stop when he entered the palace.

After making a round, there was nothing wrong with him and his men, so he was relieved a little.

"Commander Zhang, a brother in the forbidden army is looking for you, saying that there is something to report."

As he closed his eyes in the shade of a tree, a janissary came up to him briskly and whispered.

"If you want to call a certain commander, next time you do it again, you will not be spared!"

Zhang Xiu opened his tiger eyes and said angrily.

For his current boss, Huang Wenbo, the commander of the front division of the palace, Zhang Xiu does not have a high evaluation of him, he is a guy who has some ability, but is conceited.

Although he has talent, if he doesn't have the brother who has now become the king of Taihe, I am afraid that he will not be able to reach his current status at all.

Therefore, as His Majesty's only descendant in the forbidden army, there are some taboo things that he can try not to do, so as not to attract further hostility from the other party.

Mr. Wang had come to him in private a few days ago to talk about His Majesty's affairs, and his words meant to make him bear more.

Although I don't know why Mr. Wang said this to himself, Mr. is very wise, and he must have a deep meaning when he comes here.

As for the fact that there is someone in this forbidden army that he admires, to be honest, there is also a person, that is, General Fan Zhenfan, who had a brief cooperation.

This person, regardless of martial arts, tactics and ethics, can be called a temporary choice, if it can be used by His Majesty, it will be a big help.

It's a pity that after all, they are enemies and not friends, and there will always be a day when soldiers will meet each other.

The janissary didn't know that his boss was thinking about so many things in his head at this moment, but he knew his knife-mouthed tofu temper, and hurriedly responded with a smile.

Zhang Xiu, who had gathered his mind, patted the guard on the shoulder and said.

"Call that brother here."

Not long after, a young guard with a lofty spirit came to Zhang Xiu.

"The villain Fan Du commanded Wang Xiongdan, and I have seen Zhang Du's commander!"

Fan Du's commander is the general Fan Zhen Fan who Zhang Xiu has in mind.

As soon as he heard the other party's name for him, Zhang Xiu's good impression of him rose a little.

Among the martial artists, they should go straight and play those fancy intestines for what, but where do you seem to have heard the name Wang Xiongdan?

Pressing the doubts in his heart, Zhang Xiu asked quite kindly:

"Ben will hear that Brother Wang has something to look for?"

Seeing Zhang Xiu get straight to the point, Wang Xiongdan did not hide it, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu took it and saw the six big characters of "Brother Youwei personally opened" under the fire paint, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

This handwriting he is familiar with can no longer be familiar, it is the handwriting of Mr. Wang Wenbo, and this Wang Xiong is born......

I remembered that in Taihe Mansion, when His Majesty was still the Marquis of Anguo, Mr. Wang mentioned this Wang Xiong's birthday, saying that he was his distant cousin and skilled in bowing and horses.

By the way, His Majesty also gave a seal at that time as a certificate of recognition in the future!

Raising his head and glancing at Wang Xiongdan, Zhang Xiu tore open the fire paint, took out the letter from it and read it carefully, and most of his heart suddenly let go.

"Brother Wang has a letter from Mr., and Ben Jiang has already believed ninety percent, but for the sake of prudence, Ben Jiang still wants to ask Brother Wang another word."

Zhang Xiu looked at Wang Xiongdan, his eyes blazing.

"General Zhang, please speak."

Wang Xiong is neither humble nor arrogant.

"I wonder if Brother Wang has a certificate to prove it?"

Zhang Xiu stared at each other's eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"When my brother sent a letter to the villain, he sent a seal with the letter, I wonder if it can be used as a certificate?"

Wang Xiongtan said, took out a finger-length vermilion seal from his underwear, and handed it to Zhang Xiu.

"This thing is precious, and the villain doesn't dare to be contemptuous, so he can only hide it closely."

Zhang Xiu took it and looked at the seal engraving, and sure enough, he saw nine white inscriptions engraved on it, "Zhao Yuyin, the eldest son of the Marquis of Chu'an", and then he was completely relieved.

Seal engraving, there are Zhu Wen and Bai Wen, that is, people often say Yang and Yin.

The so-called yang script means that the characters are convex on the stone, while the yin script is just the opposite, which is concave. The text or image on the seal has two shapes, concave and convex, and the four lower ones are called yin, and the opposite is called yang.

"Good, good, good!"

Zhang Xiulian said three "good" words, and after handing the seal back to Wang Xiongdan, Fang lowered his voice and said:

"Your Majesty's wedding today, the guards have already been arranged, and they can't be moved lightly. Brother Wang, you were recommended by your husband, and your kung fu is also very good. Wait a few days, to the beginning of December, the palace in front of the royal competition, you prepare early, strive to win the jackpot, into the eyes of His Majesty. It's a pity that Ben General is just a commander, and he has no right to move the forbidden army at will, otherwise, why is it so troublesome. ”

At the end of the day, there was something sullen in his tone.

Wang Xiongdan is also a decisive person, knowing the current difficulties of the person in front of him, he hugged his fists at the moment:

"General Zhang doesn't want to say that, the general's grace is unforgettable."

There are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to do, and preparing in advance for the nearly one-month situation is equivalent to having a few more chances of winning out of thin air during the martial arts competition.

"If you really remember the kindness of Ben General, then do a good job for Your Majesty."

Zhang Xiu raised his hand and patted Wang Xiongdan's shoulder armor, his tone was quite embarrassed, and he looked up at the most conspicuous palace in the deep palace - Funing Palace.

Mr. Wang said in the letter that he was pressed step by step by the party of Taihe Wang, and had no choice but to make a false deal with him, which was in contact with His Majesty, and the number of times he gave advice to His Majesty was probably further reduced from the date of receipt of the letter, and the heavy responsibility of protecting His Majesty could only be temporarily handed over to Youwei You, and I hope that Youwei You will not lose the emperor's grace and Your Majesty.

But although I Zhang Xiu is struggling in the forbidden army, how can my majesty tremble, like walking on thin ice, and it is difficult to deal with tigers and wolves?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu's heart was like a knife for a while, and a pair of tiger eyes were filled with tears.

"General, in addition to this, the villain has something to ask for."

At this time, Wang Xiongdan's voice sounded again.

Zhang Xiu put away the emotions stirring in her heart, blinked her eyes, and then looked at the other party.

"Don't be so polite, you are the person recommended by the gentleman, why should you be so restrained? As long as Ben can help, and it doesn't violate the word loyalty, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Zhang Xiu said with a smile.

"I don't hide it from the general, when Xiong was born in his hometown, he had a friend from the same village, talking about martial arts and the art of war, not under Xiong Sheng. It's just that he joined the army in his early years, and he doesn't know his whereabouts. Who knew that Xiong was born with a letter from his cousin, and after entering Shenjing to join the Praetorian Guard, Fang reunited with the other party by chance. ”

"Oh?"

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he was immediately excited and hurriedly asked.

"Your friend from the same village is also in this forbidden army? To be so praised by you, Brother Wang, is also extraordinary. I just don't know who your friend's surname is, and he is also under the command of the commander of Nafandu? ”

"Back to General Zhang's words, the villain's friend's surname is Kan Mingling."

Before the other party finished speaking, Zhang Xiu's eyes were already round.

"That Kan stunned son is the friend from the same village in your mouth?!"
