Chapter 16 Guards

Cai Ling'er turned her head to look at Chen Mingye's contemplative appearance, reached out and took a piece of snowflake ice yuan and handed it to him.

Chen Mingye smiled at her, took it and opened his mouth to taste it.

"How's it going?" said Cai Ling'er expectantly.

"It's pretty sweet," Chen Mingye replied, reaching out and touching her head, "It's not early, let's go back." ”

Cai Ling'er didn't dodge this time, and said softly with big eyes: "Okay." ”

Following.

Jiang Ying had already finished practicing a set of swordsmanship in front of the court, and when she looked back, she saw Chen Mingye quietly watching him under the corridor.

"Good swordsmanship!" Chen Mingye saw that she had finished practicing, so he said hello.

The woman in the hall is still dressed in plain clothes, but today it is not a long skirt, but a clean and concise military uniform, but it does not affect the beauty of her appearance at all, but it is more heroic.

"You're up. Jiang Ying glanced at him and said, "I'll go to the patrol camp later, if you want to come along, let's go together after breakfast." ”

"Okay, my brother won't go before he gets up, I'll go with you later. "I came back a little late yesterday, Cai Ling'er was sleepy, Chen Mingye went to knock on the door just now, and there has been no response so far.

"Whatever you want, let's dine together. Jiang Ying put away her sword, glanced at Chen Mingye, who was still standing there, turned around and walked across the corridor to the dining room.

Chen Ming followed the stroll at night, casually looking at the ornaments of the Jiang Mansion.

The layout of the house is not large, but it is decorated with exotic flowers everywhere, but it is quite chic and exquisite.

"You like flowers very much?" he asked, looking at Jiang Ying, who was walking in front.

"I don't like it, it's all the old man's own doing. Jiang Ying didn't reply.

“...... Uncle Jiang's hobby is quite chic. ”

"Flowers, birds, fish and insects, each with its own interest. Jiang Ying said this, and her footsteps paused.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mingye was stunned.

"It's here. Jiang Ying didn't enter the hall after speaking, but turned around and stared at him, "Your sword is very interesting, who did you learn it from?"

"It's a lot, the head of the martial arts sect in Kyoto, my father, and a few captains in Beizhou, but I can't tell you clearly, so I can be regarded as learning from others. Chen Mingye smiled.

Jiang Ying took a deep look at him and entered the hall.

Chen Mingye raised his hand and touched his nose, grinned, and followed.

The food in the dining room had already been properly arranged, Chen Mingye sat down opposite Jiang Ying, looked at the various snacks on the table, and buried himself in eating.

Jiang Ying was not in a hurry to eat, the two sat face to face and did not speak, while being like a wolf and a tiger, while underwriting and picking up slowly, the picture was very weird, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After the meal, someone came over to take away the dishes and chopsticks, and Jiang Ying didn't stay long, got up and went straight out.

Chen Mingye hesitated, beckoned a subordinate to come over and ordered: "Later, if the little boy who came with me wakes up, you tell him not to move around, and I will come back later." ”

"Okay. The subordinate answered.

Chen Mingye turned around and followed Jiang Ying.

Jiang's Mansion is located in the city of Anshun, not far from the patrol camp in the north of the city. Jiang Ran also prepared horses for Chen Mingye, so it was only half a stick of incense, and the two arrived near the city.

"Hello Deputy Commander!"

Seeing Jiang Ying dismounting, the sergeants standing guard all saluted one after another.

Chen Mingye couldn't help but be a little surprised, Jiang Ying seemed to be quite respected by these sergeants, and not because of her status as the daughter of the city lord, but because of her personal respect.

"Where is Commander Gu now?" Jiang Ying asked.

"Commander Gu is patrolling the city wall. The sergeant replied.

"Okay, you guys keep this place, I'll go and see. ”

"Yes!"

Chen Mingye followed behind without saying a word, and along the way, many sergeants greeted Jiang Ying one after another, and their words were cordial, and it could be seen that Jiang Ying's prestige in the army was really high.

At the same time, many people were also a little surprised by Chen Mingye, who was following Jiang Ying, and they were discussing his identity in a muttering manner.

The two walked to the castle tower one after the other, and at a glance they saw a general in black armor talking to several soldiers standing guard.

It seemed that the soldiers said something, and the general, who was originally facing away from this side, turned around, glanced at this side, and then locked his gaze tightly on Jiang Ying's body.

"Ying'er, you're here!" the general walked briskly towards this side.

Jiang Ying frowned, and said in a crisp and capable voice: "Commander Gu, I have said many times, patrols are like battlefields, there can be no child's play, why do you still call me Ying'er." ”

"Okay, well, Deputy Commander Jiang, it's not good if I'm wrong. The black-armored general immediately changed his words with a smile, and with a sweep of his eyes, he noticed Chen Mingye who was following Jiang Ying, "Deputy Commander Jiang, don't you introduce me to the person behind you?"

Jiang Ying hesitated and said, "He is a distant cousin of mine. ”

Chen Mingye took the initiative to step forward and said, "My name is Chen Ye, I don't know the general's name?"

"Gu Jian, commander of the Anshun City Patrol Battalion. The black-armored general replied stiffly, turning his head to look at Jiang Ying, but his tone was extremely soft, "Deputy Commander Jiang, how did I not know that you had such a distant cousin?"

"He wasn't from the southern Xinjiang clan before, but this time his family was hit by a disaster and came to defect, it's normal that you don't know. Jiang Ying said lightly, "Commander Gu should tell me about today's patrol." ”

"It's fine. Gu Jian nodded.

Chen Mingye was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Jiang Ying to deliberately cover it up for himself, this was the first time he had seen Jiang Ying say so many things.

Next, Gu Jian and Jiang Ying chatted while walking all the way, Jiang Ying said that there was no need to avoid Chen Mingye, and there were no military secrets, so Chen Mingye was able to follow the two and look around at random.

After patrolling the city, Jiang Ying saw that he was bored, so she turned to him and said, "If you are bored, you can leave by yourself, you don't have to follow me all the time." ”

"It's okay. Chen Mingye waved his hand, "I don't have anything to do anyway, it's good to follow behind and learn more." ”

Gu Jian frowned and glanced at him: "Isn't it child's play to be a major matter of military defense, if you weren't Deputy Commander Jiang's cousin, I would have knocked you down a long time ago." ”

"Commander Gu thinks I'm not qualified to stand here?" Chen Mingye narrowed his eyes, smiling rather than smiling.

Jiang Ying frowned and did not speak.

Gu Jian was overjoyed when he saw this, and said righteously: "Of course, you are not a member of the army, and the defense of the city is very important, so it is better for you to leave early." ”

"I see," Chen Mingye nodded clearly, and then asked rhetorically, "Then if I am already a member of the army, I can establish myself here, right?"

Gu Jian said disdainfully: "You can't even stand steadily, and you don't have the slightest murderous aura of a military person on your body, and you dare to call yourself a person in the army?"

"Of course it's not up to you to decide," Chen Mingye smiled, turned his head to look at Jiang Ying and said, "Ying'er, what do you say?"

"......" Jiang Ying glanced back at him lightly, and only after a moment did she speak slowly, "He is now my personal guard." ”

Gu Jian's face darkened suddenly, and he glared at Chen Mingye fiercely, and he smiled at Jiang Ying a little stiffly: "It seems that I misunderstood, Deputy Commander Jiang, it's almost noon, how about I invite you to dinner later?"

"Thank you Commander Gu for your kindness, lunch has been prepared at home, so I won't bother. Jiang Ying said calmly.

"It's okay, it's okay," Gu Jian smiled, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, "But I'm not worried about whether Deputy Commander Jiang's cousin can be qualified for the position of a personal guard." ”

"Isn't Commander Gu worried about my strength?" Jiang Ying said coldly.

Gu Jian hesitated, but still said, "Deputy Commander Jiang misunderstood, I just want to see the ability of this personal guard." ”

"It's fine. Chen Mingye shrugged his shoulders, "What does Commander Gu want to think?"

Gu Jian glanced at him and said mockingly: "You took my three moves, and I recognized the identity of this personal guard." ”

Chen Mingye smiled, is he afraid that he won't be able to see such an obvious agitation?

"Okay, I'm done. Chen Mingye cooperated with the appearance of indignation.

Jiang Ying glanced at him speechlessly, stood by the city wall and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the city.
