In the parade field, the Feiyan battle flag was waving in the wind, half a foot higher than the twenty-two battle flags on both sides, but everyone felt that it was right, the imperial county lord's guard was eligible to enjoy this honor, and the students of the Lingbo standard team puffed up their chests, and their faces were full of pride and pride.

The next agenda is to select the guards, which is no longer limited to the Limbo standard team, so that the already enthusiastic atmosphere of the review field will be raised again.

Each of the twenty-three standard battalions elects five people, and the county lord confers the title of guard, which is a false name but also a great honor, and it will bring benefits for a long time, and their names will be recorded in the royal family's archives, and they have served as the county lord's guard, which makes the road to promotion in the future bound to be smooth.

The Ling Bo standard team made an exception to get ten places, but the procedure for selecting the guards was very simple, the threshold of the imperial warrior eliminated the vast majority of people, and dozens of people who were qualified to compete knew each other's strength and identity, so when the gentle standard chief announced that Qin Rufeng, Hua Yue, Zhuo Zhuo, Yan Ning, Lei Ming, Meng Yichuan, Li Changgong, Li Zihui, Yan Zifeng and Yu Wenjie were selected, some people may not be convinced, but they still expressed their support with warm applause.

After the enthusiasm, the student felt even more strange, the captain of the guard, Gao Yuan, was not selected, whether it was strength or qualifications, he should occupy a place, but the result was that Yan Ning, Yan Zifeng and Yu Wenjie were selected, the three outsiders, the standard camp student soldier secretly held grievances for Gao Yuan, and was even more worried about his situation, even the guard was not elected, how could he be the captain of the guard again.

Failed to be selected as a guard, Gao Yuan was even more surprised, he didn't care about honor and benefits, but the number of guards was a task of the division, how could he explain to his senior sister if he couldn't complete it?

The review hall is not a suitable place to debate right and wrong, Hua Yue forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart, walked into the escort team with a cold face, swore allegiance to the imperial county lord, and took over the guard armor that symbolized honor from her, and never looked at Dugu Ying directly - after the review, the soldiers and the soldiers and civilians of Jicui all knew the imperial county lord, and Mei Ying's title would definitely become a thing of the past.

After all the agenda of the entry ceremony was completed, the old Marquis Yan invited the county lord and the leaders of the twenty-three standard battalions to go to the deputy general's mansion to discuss the defense and combat plans of each battalion, and the entry ceremony opened the curtain of the war.

"Takagaki and arrange for the standard team to return to the camp. As usual, the commander of the standard team handed over the military affairs of the standard team to Gao Yuan before leaving, but what he didn't expect was to refuse on the spot: "The captain of the personal guard has no right to command the standard team, so I don't want to obey my orders." ”

"Inspector on duty, take the standard team back to the camp!"

Gently changing the order and accompanying Dugu Ying, no one noticed that a smug smile flashed in the corner of her eyes. Meng Yichuan, the inspector on duty, smiled bitterly at Gao Yuan, issued the command to return to the camp, and marked the team to return to the camp the same way.

"The herald post, the women's team, and the third squad stayed behind to protect the captain, and the rest of the squad returned to camp. ”

Gao Yuan gave the order, turned the head of the dark cloud horse, and took the star guard to act as the forward of the standard team, leaving his back to the hundreds of students who were full of doubts behind him.

Protect the standard commander, there is no flaw in the order, the first duty of the pro-guard team is to protect the standard leader, but this order is not suitable in the Lingbo standard team, and even the imperial county lord does not mention it, who will protect her safety, only leaving two squads, how to deal with the assassins?

Gao Yuan is venting his dissatisfaction in disguise, and people with sharp minds such as Zhuo Zhuo and Li Zihui guessed the mystery, the five duties of the pro-guard team, there is no explicit provision for protecting the county lord, and the standard commander Wen Qingrou has never given a protection order, Gao Yuan is in line with the identity of the captain of the pro-guard, and no one can criticize it on the surface.

Along the way, he acted as the chief of the standard, lest he lose his trust and exhausted his mind. There is no danger in entering the city, how much thought is spent on the preparation in advance, and every small link is determined after many scrutiny. Doing all this, Gao Yuan has resentment, but it is more of an emotional entanglement with Mei Ying, he does not resist military affairs, and he never dares to slack off.

A selection spot completely disturbed Takagaki's heart. Walking in front of the standard team, surrounded by unfamiliar buildings, the smiling faces of the soldiers and civilians were mocking and sarcastic to Takagaki in his eyes, his face was even more gloomy, and there was a blue glow in his paleness.

At the critical moment when the crowd crossed the cordon and made the scene chaotic, he did not get the gentle order of the commander Wen for a long time, and overstepped his authority to order the cavalry to patrol and prepare for the battle, but no one spoke out against it, and the actual action was to refuse to carry it out, which was not the case when marching before, why has it become abnormal today?

Gao Yuan thought all the way and slowly found the answer, it was because of his senior brother Qin Rufeng, with him, the cavalry patrol obeyed the command of the captain of the guard, because the patrol commander always took the lead in acting, and today the senior brother stayed in the camp, and the cavalry patrol no longer carried out the military orders issued by the overstepping authority, even if he used military law to deter. If they refuse to carry out the military orders issued beyond their authority, how can they be punished by military law, the cadets of the cavalry patrol have already seen through the trick, and they will not be temporary.

I ordered the women's team to guard and protect around the flag guard, but I disobeyed the order and rushed up to shoot the assassin, who gave the order, Mei Ying, Senior Sister, or Yan Ning? No matter who it was, the captain of the guard gave the order first, and she was openly disobedient. If Yan Ning issued a verbal order, it would be understandable for the women's team to execute, because she was the captain. But if Mei Ying and her senior sister overstepped their authority to give an order, the women's team would still obey, and this thing would be unusual!

Takagaki recalls a secret conversation with the Chief Instructor, who rarely appears in front of people, the Chief Instructor in charge of reviewing the loyalty of the cadets to the Empire.

"The appointment of you as the captain of the guard is my proposal, and there are no personal factors. The chief instructor went straight to the point to dispel his doubts: "There are three reasons. First of all, you are an orphan, and you are an orphan who came out of the poor countryside, with the least entanglement with the interests of the outside world, almost none. Hehe, I'm afraid I haven't even been out of Changqingzhai before. Sit down and listen, don't be restrained, these days I have always secretly observed, taught thunder, endured embarrassment, recruited troops, and took charge of military affairs, you have done a good job. ”

"Second, the Remnants Academy, others don't know the identities of the five people, but I know it clearly, don't be surprised, because I have archives here in every Remnants Academy in Lingbo Mansion. Five veteran officers who have made great contributions to the empire, and one of them is the captain of the Leopard Jie Xiao Cavalry Battalion. Let me tell you, the rank of the captain of the cavalry does not seem to be high, but his status is more prominent than that of the generals of the Imperial Legion. The general of the legion is just a military general of the third grade, and the captain of the cavalry, each of them has the right to open a government, and the ministers of various ministries have the treatment. The five veteran officers of the Remnants Academy jointly signed a guarantee, and I am reassured by your loyalty to the Empire. Although there are many bad words spoken of imperial officials, hehe, don't be afraid, who doesn't secretly scold a few words behind his back, a chief who has no one to curse, it must be a mediocre waste. ”

"I didn't scold, I just whined a few times. Takagaki interjected to defend himself, this is a matter of principle, and he must not fall into the notoriety of cursing the chief, and even if he has been scolded, he will resolutely refuse to admit it.

"Hehe, whether you have scolded or not, it's not that you have the final say, but I make the conclusion. Third, you are the same as Hua Yue and Qin Rufeng, they are the inspectors, and you naturally believe what you say, which means that you can directly command the two patrols and the personal guards, which is beneficial to the fifth duty, otherwise, when the standard commander is suspected of betraying the empire, what strength do you have to capture, I am afraid that you will become a ghost under the knife first. Inspect military discipline, that is the practice on the surface, in fact, the most important thing is to inspect the loyalty of officers to the empire, without the signature of you, the captain of the guard, officers below the inspector cannot be promoted. In the military, loyalty is more important than talent, and a talented officer is even more harmful if he rebels. ”

"How could Captain Gentle betray the Empire? If she wanted to hurt the county lord, she would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now!"

"Prevention is better than prevention. The commander is in charge of military orders, you perform military and political duties, she is an instructor, she knows the system of mutual restraint between the military and the government of the imperial military orders, and if you feel necessary, her orders have the right to refuse to carry out at any time. Of course, don't use chicken feathers as an arrow, there are also people who are secretly watching you, and abuse of power will be punished heavily, I don't think you will do it. ”

"Whether I can not be the captain of this guard, I am not very suitable. "Takagaki pleaded with the chief instructor, the more the captain of the guard pondered, the more he looked like a spy villain, no matter how great his power was, he had been nurtured by the old man since he was a child, there was no such good thing in this world, the greater the power, the more dangerous the task.

The chief instructor directly ignored his request and began to arrange tasks: "In addition to the duties on the surface, your mission: to protect the county lord, monitor the officers, and cooperate with the people from Kyoto to track down the crossbow leak case. For now, find a way to control the pro-guards, remember, it is control not command, you must make them obey, even if you order me to be assassinated, they will not hesitate to carry it out. ”

Along the way, he was in charge of the military orders, and the orders and prohibitions of the standard team were in order, Gao Yuan felt that the task arranged by the chief instructor was quite simple, and now that he thinks about it, he understands that the life of the captain of the personal guard is purely up to heaven and not by man, and the commander really wants to launch a rebellion, and nine times out of ten it is difficult to escape the fate of the sacrifice flag, one to five, or the following offense, who will believe that you have a secret mission, and will listen to it as a joke.

Mei Ying can't have an accident no matter what, and she must do her best to protect her in public and private, whether it is the same whether she is the imperial lord or not, but how can she fulfill her other missions?

Control the pro-guards, and then influence and slowly master the other patrol soldiers, only let them obey their orders, whether it is to protect Mei Ying, or other missions, in order to implement according to their intentions, in case of special circumstances, their own lives will be multi-layered, Gao Yuan took the initiative to consider controlling the standard team for the first time, no longer to pass the standard commander's military order, but to resolutely implement the order by himself.

Lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, how to deal with Coach Qiu, he will definitely stand with the standard commander Wen and gently, and exclude the pro-guard team from the coverage of the standard commander's military order in disguise, and the tactical team will become the first and most difficult obstacle to overcome. In the past four years, the prestige established by the instructor in the cadet will play a big role at critical moments, and Takagaki has no doubt that now he and Coach Qiu have issued different orders to the pro-guards, and the pro-guards will definitely obey the coach, not him, the captain of the pro-guards.

Gao Yuan was thinking about how to absolutely control the pro-guards, but he didn't know that many people in the standard team had his idea and aimed at the position of the captain of the guards, especially the noble children of the pro-guards, who had integrated into the standard team in a few months, and also understood Takagaki's initial embarrassment, and the kindness he received became lighter and thinner, and finally dissipated like a passing cloud.

Today, Gao Yuan failed to become the county lord's guard, then he is not qualified to be the captain of the guard, this is a rare opportunity, a blockbuster opportunity is just around the corner, Ronghua and wealth are beckoning not far away, some people are itching when they walk on the road, and the gaze of looking at the back in front of them has become complicated.
