The army in the imperial capital was called the Jing Army, and it was divided into two parts: the south and the north. The predecessor of the Yulin Army, the "Jianzhang Battalion Cavalry", was subordinate to the Southern Army, and it was only named because this army was established to defend the Jianzhang Palace.

The meaning of Yulin is "for the country's wings, such as the prosperity of the forest", the earliest Yulin army is all some children and grandchildren who died in the army, adopted by the emperor, taught five soldiers, and then joined some noble descendants.

The number of the Yulin Army in its heyday did not exceed 2,000 people, and in this army, every Yulin sergeant was a full-time professional soldier, so it can be said that if you only refer to the average quality of the soldiers, the Joyama Army is not the opponent of the Yulin Army, and the situation of the Tiger Benwei is about the same.

Because Peng Yuan was born in the Yulin Army in his early years, there was still a bit of incense between the Dingshan Army and the Yulin Army, so the attitude of Captain Fu Cheng, who came to take Cheng Kun to the new military camp, was very friendly, and he took the initiative to introduce the situation of this army to Cheng Kun along the way.

Although Cheng Kun was set by the emperor as the leader of the Yulin army, he did not really have fifty subordinates under his command during his time in the imperial capital. As an "outsider", it is not his turn to do the work that is really crucial, in a sense, it is an easy "gilded journey".

The two forbidden armies of Yulin and Huben enjoy the treatment of the land enough to make the people of the other armies dripping blood, the blades and horses are always the best, and the change of clothes also starts from these two armies, and the salary of the sergeants is more than twice that of the local army, and the Joyama army must also bow down in this regard.

But what Cheng Kun values most is another benefit, after joining the Yulin Army, the martial arts cheats in the royal vault will be open to him. Although he can only see part of it, and it comes at a certain cost, it is still very attractive to him.

The Iron Cloak Technique has been cultivated to Cheng Kun's current level, and the rest of the kung fu is just a matter of course, and there is no need to spend more extra effort. As the saying goes, when the merit is natural, when the realm is reached, the iron-clad trick will be naturally complete.

The next thing he has to do is to learn from others, see more martial arts, and expand his horizons, especially those martial arts that involve the practice of the knots, as long as he finds a martial art that involves the practice of the tricks that are not recorded on the Iron Cloak Technique, it will be a big profit for him.

These are all rare accumulations, and the reason why Cheng Kun's cultivation speed is so fast is largely due to the accumulation of his previous life. But this accumulation is almost exhausted by now, so he needs a deeper foundation to support his future breakthroughs.

Tiange Hou Peng Yuan still needs to painstakingly create Tiange Jue after the consummation of the Iron Cloth Recipe in order to break through the entrance, Cheng Kun will not be arrogant to think that he can successfully break through with just this one exercise.

His master, Tang Zhong, was also trapped in the Tongmai realm for many years, and in the end, it was because of the heat and a little luck that he would succeed, which was actually just an example, and it was not enough to be his reference.

Therefore, browsing the Royal Vault is a rather tempting perk for him. Of course, if he can successfully worship under the Xuanyi Guan, he can also have the opportunity to see the mastery created by his predecessors, but for now, this is only a backup option.

After Cheng Kun successfully settled in the Yulin military camp, the eldest prince Xiang An and the second prince Xiang Hong's henchmen also returned to the sovereign.

When Xiang An asked Chang Xiong if he could gain anything from this trip, Lao Chang laughed: "Please rest assured, the eldest prince, I went to Xuemen Pass this time completely according to your orders, and I didn't say anything after I arrived at the place, but on the day I first arrived, I had a good hand with a captain in the Dingshan Army, and then I stayed in the accommodation they arranged and rarely went out." ”

An An showed an interesting smile on his majestic face, and he asked curiously, "Oh, what is the result of the exchange?"

The old man turned red: "I have embarrassed the eldest prince, and I lost this battle in the hands of the captain named Qiao Feng." ”

Xiang An smiled heartily, waved his hand, and didn't mind at all: "I'm not surprised at all, Tiangehou was able to block the Huns outside the border for more than ten years with the strength of an army, how can he be an idle person? ”

Lao Chang smiled, didn't argue, just touched the back of his head.

Immediately, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Xiang An again: "Speaking of which, this time, those people under His Royal Highness suffered a loss in the Blood Gate Pass, and their faces were almost swollen. ”

Hearing his younger brother's name, the smile that Xiang An had been hanging on his face just now dissipated, he adjusted his sitting posture, and the whole person became a lot more serious, looking at Chang Xiong with a pair of tiger eyes: "Let's listen carefully." ”

Lao Chang replied:

"I only found out about this matter after the fact, the second highness just recruited the scattered master Dai Feizhang recently took the Tiger Benwei and those people to the Blood Gate Pass, and for some reason there was a conflict with a young tun chief. Xiahou Yu and a guy surnamed Tang in the Tiger Benwei went up one after another to compete with the tun chief, and all of them were defeated by the other party without exception. Xia Houyu was knocked away with a palm, and he vomited out of his meal overnight, and the guy surnamed Tang was even worse, and he was directly scared by the opponent's shot!"

Xiang An's two thick black eyebrows twitched, and the expression on his face was a little surprised.

He wasn't surprised by the defeat of Hu Benwei, what was really surprising was that their opponent didn't have any scruples when he made a move, and he was so "absolute", judging from his understanding of his younger brother who had been arrogant since he was a child, he would definitely not give up after knowing this matter.

Lao Chang then said: "I was very surprised after I knew this, so I specially inquired, the young tun chief's surname is Cheng Mingkun, he just joined the Dingshan army this year, won the championship in one fell swoop in the new recruit competition, and was awarded the post of tun chief, and then participated in a battle with the Huns in September, killing dozens of enemies. Immediately afterwards, he participated in a confidential mission, and his meritorious service was not small, and he has now been promoted to military commander by order of His Majesty. ”

"This time I returned to Beijing, Cheng Kun also came, I should stay in the Yulin Army for a period of time in the future, are you interested in meeting him, the eldest prince?"

His last sentence revealed his intentions, and after the battle on the way back, Chang Xiong could be said to be very impressed by Cheng Kun. He was far from having such a profound cultivation at Cheng Kun's age, let alone the concise and simple but extremely fierce marksmanship, all he saw at that time was a burst of shock, and he didn't know which marksmanship master taught such a little star.

is so handsome, of course he has the obligation to introduce the eldest prince.

Since Cheng Kun has already had a grudge with the people of the Second Highness, the chances of the eldest prince winning him over again are much greater.
