At this moment, the man walked towards the imperial city with the woman in his arms.

"You let me down. I can go!" the woman said suddenly.

Two days ago, the woman woke up and is now recovering well.

It's just that at this moment, for some reason, the words are a little cold.

There is a feeling of changing face in an instant.

"I'll carry you into the city, and when you're in the city, I'll let you down. Liu Xu said.

"Thank you for saving me, I've thought about it for a long time, but I can't. The woman said.

Liu Xu didn't speak anymore and silently put the person down.

Never mention the tears she shed for her when she passed out, for the things she had done, for the heart that hurt for her.

A man loves a woman, and he is not captured by emotion.

Because all things that move you should not be said.

He followed her and escorted her into the royal court. Seeing that she entered the palace safely, she was relieved.

Yes, both of them have died, but fortunately, they have both come back to life.

So Liu Xu looked at her back, and suddenly for a moment, he decided not to return to Qingyang.

He couldn't get out of here, out of this man.

So I turned around and went to the military department.

If you can see it, why not be a petty official in this Ming Imperial Court?

The military department is very large, divided into three divisions, the military examination department, the defense department, and the ordnance department.

At this time, Song Xuanzhi, the squire of the military department, was in a state of anxiety.

Emperor Ming's assassination is already inescapable, and now Princess Lanyue is missing and unknown.

He was anxious.

Therefore, when I saw Liu Xu, my complexion was not very good.

Liu Xu asked why.

Song Xuanzhi did not hide it, and told the truth of the matter.

Hearing this, Liu Xu smiled.

"I don't know what Mei Shaoxia is smiling about?" Song Xuanzhi asked.

"That's a coincidence. After you left, I met the princess on the road and was assassinated, so I saved the person. Liu Xu said.

"You said the princess was saved by you?" Song Xuanzhi was stunned.

"I think I've met Emperor Ming at this moment. Liu Xu nodded.

"Good! good!" said two good words in a row, and Song Xuanzhi's decadence in recent days was swept away.

He immediately smiled and said, "You will stay in my Weiguo Division for one night first, and tomorrow morning I will take you to meet the Ming Emperor." ”

Liu Xu clenched his fists.

After a few more conversations, he followed his men to their lodgings to rest.

In recent days, Liu Xu has consumed a lot and is tired. Therefore, after entering the room, he sat cross-legged and adjusted.

Day 2.

In front of the Jinluan Palace, Liu Xu entered the Xuan.

Declare!

Declare!

Declare!

Xuanmei Qinghan to see you!

Liu Xu held the Mo Feng Sword in his hand, step by step, and settled in the main hall.

The Jinluan Hall is vast, and the fourteen coiling dragon pillars are in a relative shape, and they are erected mightily.

Hundreds of civil and military officials on both sides of the station, wearing gorgeous robes, jade belts around their waists, and holding long wat in their hands, can be described as extraordinary.

Liu Xu entered the Xuan, and the civil and military attaches moved slightly to the side of the Panlong Pillar.

An empty passage was made in the middle.

Liu Xu was not arrogant, his robe was unfurled, and he came with steps.

Today he was dressed in a white robe with a red tasseled waist. Actions come, step by step, calm and calm.

In addition, the height and shoulders are broad, and the appearance is good, so that people can see each other at a glance, and they will know that they are extraordinary.

"In Xia Mei Qinghan, the people of the rivers and lakes sent Mo Feng Sword to meet Emperor Ming. Liu Xu knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Are you Mei Qinghan, a young man who slays dragons? Raise your head and let me see. "Ming Huang Road.

"It's down there!" Liu Xu raised his head with his fists clenched, and his voice was upright.

"Mei Qing, please get up! This body of courage is not a mortal. Yang Xu said.

Liu Xu stood up and stood up.

Emperor Ming looked at Liu Xu, really satisfied, and said: "Mei Qing slays the evil dragon alone, bless me with the safety of the Ming side, I don't know what reward I want?"

What reward do you want?

Liu Xu smiled in his heart.

Surely there will be a reward for rewarding and rewarding. If it is possible, it is not a reward.

Therefore, he immediately hugged his fists, "I never thought about it." The evil dragon is the party to the disaster, eating thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, as the children of the Ming Dynasty, he wants to use the sword to cut the fangs and remove the disaster for the people. ”

After saying the away words, Liu Xu did not dare, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Good!" the Emperor was overjoyed.

Immediately, he said, "My imperial court is lacking a forbidden army envoy, I wonder if Mei Qing is willing to take up the post?"

Would you like to?

If Emperor Ming asks, can you say no?

Therefore, Liu Xu made a happy and excited expression, knelt on the ground, and said: "I can be loyal to the Ming Emperor and die willingly." ”

This sentence is really exquisite.

He does not express his ambitions, does not say that he is the Ming Dynasty, but emphasizes that he is the Ming Emperor.

The deep meaning of this can be understood by the Ming Emperor, and the civil and military officials can also understand it.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have something to play. "Seal Liu Xu, the military department is still in the ranks, holding the long wat road.

"Oh, what is Zong Aiqing's doing?" asked Emperor Ming.

"Your Majesty, the dragon body of the dragon will reach the imperial city soon, and the minister prays for some reward. "Escorting the dragon body is the follow-up of the military department, and the military department still knows its situation.

"I don't know where Zong Aiqing wants the dragon body?" asked Emperor Ming with a smile.

"The military department is poor, and the minister wants to ask for dragon scales, dragon tendons, and dragon skins, and make up for the three divisions under his jurisdiction. "Zongzheng Dao.

Dragon scales can be used to make armor, dragon tendons can be made into crossbows, and dragon skins can be made into soft clothing.

Although the Manchu Dynasty knew that the six military departments were the poorest.

But if he is poor, he wants to ask for these three things, and some people are unwilling.

A slightly fat man came out of the ranks, "The minister also wants some dragon tendons, dragon scales, and dragon skin." ”

Everyone saw that it was not the director of the Fifth Department, Yu Shi Dacheng, who was speaking.

The Ministry of War has an ordnance department, and the five departments have generals as supervisors, and the Ming Emperor was embarrassed for a while.

Therefore, he looked at Liu Xu with a smile and said, "You cut the dragon, according to your opinion, how should it be divided?"

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials suddenly burst into discussions.

Yushi Dacheng and the squire of the military department all looked at Liu Xu.

This hope is to exert pressure.

He can't afford to offend any of these two people.

At the same time, Emperor Ming's sentence seems to be sparse, but it is actually a big examination school.

He was testing Liu Xu.

Liu Xu clenched his fists, "Your Majesty, this is not difficult. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Ming was slightly surprised.

Liu Xu said respectfully: "On that day, the ghost dragon tragedy caused the wrath of the heavens, and under the blessing of the heavens, one sword slashed the dragon in two sections. The two paragraphs have their strengths and weaknesses, so now I would like to ask the two adults to decide, whether to have the first paragraph or the last paragraph?"

As soon as these words came out, the Ming Emperor was even more happy.

The most important thing for those in power is to control the people, and the greater the power, the more likely it is to take care of one or the other.

Therefore, the choice of the first paragraph and the last paragraph of this sentence makes no one biased.

Now that you can understand this, you can pass the school entrance examination.

So Emperor Ming immediately said, "Zong Aiqing, Yin Aiqing, what do you two think?"

Yang Xu is a smart person, he didn't say yes, but he came to say what do you think.

The two people below looked at each other, slightly embarrassed.

How?

Pick!

It's all about this, and you can only rely on luck.

"The minister feels very good. ”

"The minister also feels very good. ”

"Okay, since that's the case, the two Aiqing will choose for themselves. ”

Then the minister chose the first paragraph. "Zongzheng Dao.

"The last paragraph of the minister's election. "Yushi Dacheng said.

The two chose to quit and retreated.

"Emperor Qi Ming, the minister wants to get some dragon blood, dragon whiskers, dragon meat, etc., for pharmacological research. At this time, a man came out of the ranks, and said.

When Emperor Ming saw that it was the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, he did not hesitate, and said, "Yes." ”

Not only that, but dragon horns, keels and other things are also sought.

Yang Xu was not stingy, only kept part of it, and the rest were evenly rewarded.

After the dragon body is divided, the court is over.

Hundreds of officials out of the Jinluan Palace.

"Congratulations!" Many people admired the word dragon slaying, so they came to congratulate.

Liu Xu nodded and smiled in response.

All the way out of the imperial court, Liu Xu sighed slightly.

Now that he entered the Xuan, he became an envoy of the forbidden army.

Without the slightest preparation, he didn't even know if it was worth it.

This role changed too quickly, thinking that more than half a year ago, he was still the son of Qingyang in the imperial court.

Now that I think about it, it's really funny.

But the only thing that pleased him was that this official position was earned by his own ability.

In any case, he is also a teacher on the seven grades.

After leaving the imperial court, Liu Xu found a place to live in the nearby city.

On that day, with a letter in my arms, I went to the Rifan Temple.

found the reception envoy of the King of Qingyang, and said a secret word, Liu Xu handed over the letter to a person.

Can't go back to Anyang, this process, King Qingyang must know.

But there should be an explanation for how much he is.

Three days later, Liu Xu went to the palace and took office.

Shun followed the leader, he first went to the treasury to receive two sets of winter clothes and armor, a forbidden army envoy sword, and a forbidden army jade talisman.

Log in, take the jade talisman and go to the Qianqing room, the head of the door is a chief eunuch, the position of the sixth grade.

But he personally received Liu Xu with a warm smile.

Liu Xu took out the jade talisman and completed the handover.

The young eunuch handed over a bunch of keys, an edict, and a few miscellaneous items.

There were a lot of miscellaneous books, and the chief eunuch gave a look, and the two young eunuchs stepped forward to help.

"Thank you, father-in-law. Liu Xu clenched his fists.

"It's what our family should do, Sect Envoy Mei, please go slowly!" said the chief eunuch.

Liu Xu took the key, followed by the two young eunuchs, and went all the way to the Religious Envoy Palace.

The Religious Envoy Hall is the residence of the Forbidden Army's Religious Envoy.

The Ming Imperial Court forbade 100,000 troops, under the jurisdiction of the commander, there were three major envoys.

Each envoy is in charge of 30,000 soldiers, and conducts military drills, training, city protection, guards, and night battles.

The matter is complicated and laborious, so under each envoy, three new deputy envoys are appointed, each in charge of 10,000 soldiers.

In addition, under the deputy teaching envoy, the positions of commander, commander, and captain were added.

This level makes it extremely easy to manage.

The forbidden army has strict orders, all levels and ranks, do their own duties, carry out their own orders, and listen to their own orders, as long as the commander and commander are present, the envoy is basically free from the matter.

Liu Xu came, there were guards in front of the palace, and he knew that he was a new envoy.

The two of them immediately came over and took the items behind Liu Xu.

The two young eunuchs retired, and Liu Xu turned around and entered the hall.

The embassy hall is quite large, but it is cold, and there are few indoor items.

"Let's put the case on the line. Liu Xu said.

"Yes!" commanded the two armor guards.

Liu Xu hung the envoy sword and Mo Feng in the Sword Pavilion and entered the inner room with a set of armor.

After a few moments, Fang came out.

glanced at Tong Jian, and he liked it.

Since then, he has been wearing this armor for a long time.

His role changed quickly, no longer studying under the grass, but defending the imperial city.

Liu Xu turned around to take instructions and made the sword fall on his waist, pressed the sword in his hand, stretched out his robe, and walked around.

But it is also suitable, and there are not many unpleasant places.

When he gradually got used to this outfit, he took the book on the case and studied it.

There are six or seven volumes, including court etiquette, the duties of the envoys, the order of the forbidden army, and court drawings.

Liu Xu has an excellent memory and reads quickly, and in less than an afternoon, he has to memorize by heart.

Therefore, he sent people to take out the letters of the three deputy envoys and the commanders and commanders at all levels.

It was not until evening that he left the temple.

He is most familiar with the Ming court, and when he was four years old, he was able to recite "The Site of the Ming Court" backwards.

Along the Xiyuan Gate, all the way to the south, he came to the Metropolitan Palace, the residence of Zhuo Qing, the commander of the forbidden army.

The guards in front of the door saw Liu Xu wearing the envoy's uniform and holding the envoy's sword, and immediately went to report.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a square appearance went out to greet him.

It was Zhuo Qing, the commander of the 100,000 forbidden army.

"Qing Han has seen the Great Commander!" Liu Xu didn't expect him to go out in person, so he immediately clenched his fists.

"It's cold outside, come in quickly. "Zhuo Qing is gentle, not like treating his subordinates.

"Commander Xie. Liu Xu clenched his fists again.

"When you are off duty, you don't have to be courteous. You haven't eaten yet, so come in and have a drink or two with me. "Zhuo Qing treats Liu Xu very well.

Liu Xu followed the entry.

Sure enough, I saw that the table was full of wine and food, and I thought that the meal had not yet begun.

"Come in and sit. ”

"Yes. Liu Xu saluted.

"You don't have to be polite. Once you slay the dragon, your fame moved the world, and the most important thing about me is that I cherish talents. I'm a few years older than you, if you don't dislike it, you can call your eldest brother. ”

"Yes, Brother Zhuo!" Liu Xu clenched his fists.

He is not stupid, since his boss intends to befriend, he naturally agrees.

"Okay, that's right. Come, have a drink with me. ”

Liu Xu did not shirk and raised his glass to touch.

"Are you still used to this imperial court?" asked Zhuo Qing after a drink.

"Although it is different from the rivers and lakes, it is still adaptable. Liu Xu replied.

"In my place, you don't have to be restrained, if you encounter any problems in the future, you can ask yourself. ”

"Brother Xie Zhuo. Liu Xu clenched his fists.

“......”

“......”

Pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the two drank very late, and in the middle of the night, Liu Xu Fang shook the Muslim embassy.
