Get up, clean your face, dress up, tie your hair, put on your hat, wear a sword, line up, and enter the palace!

It was still dark, we entered through the Donghua Gate, divided into two teams, one team went to the noon gate, one team went to the Huangji Gate, and then assigned to each hall. There were a lot of people who came with them, but everyone moved forward in an orderly manner and performed their duties. Standing properly, the sky is slightly bright, and you can see that the ministers of the early dynasty are coming from the noon gate one after another, and the figures are rushing to the imperial hall and so on. And we watched carefully, not daring to move easily. An hour later, another group of people will come to take over, and we will eat in the small courtyard behind the side hall. Then rest for an hour, and then go to work and make rounds.

If the emperor goes out on patrol, we have to be on guard layer by layer, and the older the brocade guards, the more they can enter inside, that is, they can get closer to the emperor. But we couldn't see it, and even decent court ministers, we could only watch from afar.

In this way, we began our duty career in Yiluan. The courtyard of the deep palace, with red walls and yellow tiles, and such a big blue sky overhead, made our smiles cramped. Soon, many people felt bored and gradually complained. Because you are not allowed to leave the Imperial City without permission, including me, of course.

I am a lively person, once confined here, at the beginning it was quite a novelty, after all, the inner courtyard of the palace is a great novelty for us, but later it became more and more boring, every day and again outside the three major halls, the sunrise and the day, sometimes can not leave the small courtyard of the residence without permission.

Half a month later, I became familiar with the original people here, they have been here for a long time, and I especially like Yiluan Division to join the newcomers, first, I can replace some of them to go elsewhere, and second, those who stay can find fault with us.

Although I am the chief banner, there are a total of 20 general banners and 5 hundred households in the Yiluan Division, which are under the jurisdiction of Luo Zhong, and Gu Dashou is responsible for taking me. He turned out to be handsome and chic in my eyes, with sharp eyebrows, but the frolic with Luo Zhong that day made me completely overturn the original impression, it turned out that this person was so lively, and he didn't even have a shelf, but it made me like this kind of person more in my heart, Liao Jianzhong always looked majestic, although he also smiled, but I still photographed him very much. Luo Zhong smiled all day long, and he didn't deliberately ask for a relationship with our superiors, but we still respected him to some extent.

And Gu Dashou, in my opinion, must be a person who likes to be lively, and his later behavior made me trust my judgment even more. He often organized us newcomers on hot days, standing in small yards, squatting and walking, and even fighting. We're tired to death, and we can't gossip. But he moved a wicker chair, sat in the shade of the tree and drank tea, watched us train, and often muttered, "...... I don't care how you all came here, but under my door, you have to obey my arrangement, don't think you are a young master, this is Jinyi Wei, and to be exact, it is to directly protect the emperor, give me spiritual points, don't be ashamed, don't act, get out of here......"

We gritted our teeth and insisted, I am good, I have the skills to practice martial arts, but Ning Boyang and Hardy have attracted a lot of abuse and punishment, this is completely different from Liao Jianzhong's, many people began to secretly scold Gu Dashou, and even scolded his brother Gu Dayong and younger brother Gu Dachun, saying that he was eccentric and did not let his brother come to this place. I strictly forbid the complaints of my brothers. After all, this kind of place is not something that our little people can talk about casually. But the brothers were obedient and said no more like things.

Having said that, but after a period of time, our physique is much stronger, Gu Dashou also personally taught us to practice knives, his kung fu is very practical, self-defense and attack can be used, and he is happy, will play a set of knife techniques to show us, sharp moves, fast attacks. The embroidered spring knife was in his hand, like a dragon.

Sometimes, Gu Dashou asked us to show our skills, and I danced the short sword, but the swordsmanship was still taught to me by my uncle, I didn't dare to show the swordsmanship taught to me by the scattered people, I have been here for a long time, and I also understand that some things should not be revealed at will. He looked at it for a long time, nodded, and said, "Your skills are indeed very good, the only thing you lack is strength." Your master is a woman! ”

Gu Dashou said very seriously, but my face was flushed, and he quickly explained: "The three-legged cat kung fu under his subordinates is all family self-defense skills, and they are not on the table, but they are all taught by my uncle." Gu Dashou laughed back and forth, and everyone laughed even more, and I realized that these people were clearly ridiculing me, and they wanted to dig a hole and get into the ground.

In the days that followed, we became more and more familiar, and Gu Dashou gradually became less tormented to us, so I held my breath and insisted on practicing every day, exercising myself like a new brother. Gu Dashou gradually faded his ridiculous attitude towards me, replaced it with a positive color, and sometimes pointed out my skills, unconsciously, my body was much stronger, and before I knew it, summer was coming!

Summer in Kyoshi is muggy, hot and dry to be exact. The woods around the imperial city are dense and impermeable, and the flocks of cicadas "know, know" are non-stop, in the past, I either went to Hangzhou, or took refuge in the small river of my hometown, and now I have changed my identity, I have to do an official errand, and I always have to dress neatly to go on an errand every day, every time I come back from a business trip, I am sweaty, and taking a bath is a troublesome thing, we can't go out easily, and the men in groups are stinky sweat, and we want to find a way, and slowly get used to it. I am the chief banner, and I have my own hut, but I see that Ning Boyang and Hardy are huddled together and suffered, and I often call them to me.

The sweltering summer night made me unable to sleep steadily, thinking about my parents, thinking about my grandfather, thinking about my hometown, and I don't know, my letter, Brother Ping didn't bring it over. Before I knew it, I had been here for almost three months, and I wondered if they were okay!

On this day, I returned to my house from duty at noon, sweaty, quickly took off my robe, naked, scrubbed with cold water, and cooled to cool the heat, Ning Boyang and Hardy were also in and out, busy for a while, muttering that Beijing is so hot, just stopped for a while, and before putting on the short shirt, Luo Zhong shouted in the courtyard: "Zhang Ying, Zhang Ying!" I didn't know what was going on, so I hurriedly put on my clothes and came out, he looked at my embarrassed appearance, smiled, and said, "No wonder Lao Gu said that you look like a woman, and your body is so white!" Compare the kiln sisters in Catch Ming and Goldfish Hutong to see which one is whiter! There are many brothers in the courtyard, hearing this, everyone laughed loudly, I have long been accustomed to their ridicule, and even dared to make some jokes with Luo Zhong, and hurriedly said: "Lord Qianhu, some people are white, some people are black, some people are tall, some people are short, there are many people with big eyes, and there are many people with small eyes, no way, my parents gave it, I can't complain, what is the matter with my subordinates?" Luo Zhong smiled and said, "Isn't your mouth poor!" Someone has come to see you, come here! ”

Who can come to see me? There are few acquaintances in this capital, let alone relatives, I was confused, but I was also anxious to enter the hall, and I saw Liao Jianzhong sitting there drinking tea at a glance, I was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Liao Qianhu, you are here!" Liao Jianzhong looked up at me, a slight smile appeared on his face, nodded, motioned for me to get dressed, and then said to Luo Zhong, who followed up: "People are good boys, as an adult of a thousand households, don't get some useless things, oily and smooth, without physique, it's not good to teach badly!" ”

"Oh, my brother Liao, don't blame me, here, in and out are all big men, this day is full of stinky sweat, you are dizzy, who stays for a long time is uncomfortable. Looking at us outside full of glamour, thinking of the scenery we are next to the emperor's grandfather, who knew that we were just watching through the window, and we didn't dare to let go of the fart! I'm so aggrieved like a little girl, I can't go anywhere, I've been wondering, what does Commander Mu think, I have been born and died with him for many years, how can he bear to place me here! Luo Zhong opened his mouth to complain.

Liao Jianzhong laughed, got up and stepped forward, patted Luo Zhong on the back, and said, "Your brother is not angry with me, right?" Master Mu knows in his chest, I am going to mention the pacification envoy, of course you have to go out! Don't dance with guns and sticks in front of the little ones! ”

Luo Zhong was overjoyed and said, "Really? I'm not jealous of your promotion, you did a better job than us, but if I can go out and leave here, it's Amitabha. Brother Liao, I've really stayed enough. At night, I can always see Bao Song's shadow, which makes me upset. As he spoke, he had tears in his eyes.
