Jicui Guancheng Deputy General's Mansion, the military meeting was coming to an end, Yan Hou once again persuaded the county lord Dugu Ying: "Your Highness, it is true that the Sanhewan camp is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is also a place where soldiers must fight, once the war expands, the sunset iron cavalry is bound to raid, why should the county lord risk his life." ”

"Old Marquis, the Ula Desert is thousands of miles long, the Mangcang Forest is not a little deep, and Sanhe Bay is only two hundred miles away from Jicui City, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Fengyun City in front of the side. Now all the standard battalions are elite horses, and the Lingbo standard team is equipped with Praetorian Guard armor, waiting for Xiangyun's three full battalions to arrive, a student army of nearly 20,000 people, if it is not for fear that there will be a mistake that will lead to excessive sacrifices, Dugu Ying really wants to lead the troops to the sunset border to hunt, so that they can understand that Qinghui has been defending for decades, not because he has no strength to attack, but because he does not want the border people of the two countries to be attacked again. ”

"Stealing my crossbow machine diagram, assassinating my border army generals, insulting my legitimate caravan, and openly assassinating me, the imperial county lord today, if you don't return the color, how can you show the prestige of Qinghui and the country. Old marquis, the ancestor of the Dugu royal family knows that there are only imperial county lords who died in battle, and there are no royal children who retreat. I, Duguying, am also a student soldier, if I don't advance with the battalion, why would the sons and daughters of the eighty-one standard battalions of the empire fight? ”

What else can Ning Zehou say, Imperial County Lord, you shouldn't have come to this important town, and the contradiction between the center and the county king should be on your shoulders, let alone participate in the war as a student soldier, Tianhuang noble, when you get to this front line, you really have no way back, I hope that the Ji people are safe and sound, otherwise not only the sky of Xiangyun County will turn red, but the war between the two countries is inevitable.

"I'm a standard battalion student soldier who swears to follow His Highness to the death!"

"Go to the sunset border to hunt, only His Highness will look forward. ”

"Your Highness, the student soldiers have long put life and death aside when they are in battle, and if anyone wants to hurt His Highness, they must step on our corpses. ”

The leaders of the standard battalions have sworn allegiance, whether they are sincere or not is impossible to investigate, but the atmosphere of the venue is generous with sadness, the sunset patrol, there is no retreat, the student corps of the Cui Guancheng, I don't know how many people can return to the standard camp after the war. Behind this honor is a heavy responsibility, which needs to be fulfilled with life and blood.

Outside the venue, Li Longbow was bored, ignoring Yan Ning's cold face, he was cheeky and blindly entangled, turning around, and the topic was always spying, why Gao Yuan was not selected for the county lord's guard.

"If you have the courage to ask the standard chief, don't pester Yan Ning! Li Changgong, I didn't see it before, your skin is really thick enough, go over there to compare, I'm afraid it's similar to this Jicui wall." ”

Yu Wenjie couldn't stand it, and directly spoke sarcastically, Li Changgong glanced at her a few times, and then turned his gaze to Yan Ning, and the words in his mouth were tingling: "Hehe, pestering Yan Ning, yes, I don't pester the pretty fairy, do you want to take care of the ugly monsters who ran out halfway." ”

"You!" Yuwen Jie blushed angrily, raised his fist and wanted to beat someone, seeing that he did not retreat but approached forward, a stirring spirit in his heart was put down again, and sneered at Li Longbow: "If you want to provoke Miss Ben to beat people and violate military discipline, you ghost eyes are still not hot." ”

"Count you smart, hehe, Captain Yan, your women's team is responsible for protecting the county lord closely, and all of them are unharmed, I wonder why my brother was hit by a crossbow arrow, who should the credit belong to, the standard commander is far away from the back, and you didn't let the crowd block it. ”

Yan Ning completely understood what his purpose was this time, and the nonsense for a long time turned out to be to seek justice for Gao Yuan, and wanted the women's team to come forward to testify, but it was Gao Yuan who blocked the assassin's killer blow at that time, so that there was no Gao Yuan in the county lord's guard, and the candidate recommended by the standard commander became a pure joke.

"Li Longbow, you, the herald commander, won't you really be like what people say?" Yan Ning only said half of his words, just to see how bold Li Changgong really was, and if he wanted me to testify, you have to show your attitude first and be a pawn for Miss Ben.

"Do you want to say that I'm Gao Yuan's ghost leg, hehe, the master thinks it's not a shame, and if you want to follow your boss to get promoted and make a fortune, of course, you must be as loyal as a dog first. Yu Wenjie, don't laugh at you, who is not a dog, noble, hehe, aren't you the eagle dog of the imperial royal. ”

"You are tarnishing the honor of the nobles, Li Longbow!"

"If it weren't for the parade, we'd have to beat you up!"

"You wait, herald sentry, return to camp and make you a cripple sentry!"

Most of the women's team are aristocratic women, Li Changgong overturned a boatload of people with a stick, a few words provoked public anger, the female soldiers came around with unkind faces, scolding people in front of them is doglegs, scolding is still noble, bold enough to be rampant, let you know the power of aristocratic women later.

"Gao Yuan can't be the captain of the guard, I'm a dog-legged person who will definitely get out, don't be happy, the master is a single, there's nothing to be afraid of, it's a big deal to follow him to be a horse bandit, drink wine in a big bowl, eat meat, grab a woman who you like, and get tired of selling Qinglou to count silver. ”

"Shut up, you guys come back too, don't let the other people in the camp see the jokes. ”

Yan Ning shouted to stop the excited female soldiers, Li Changgong's words are not as simple as a joke, it can be said that it is a big rebellion to be strictly investigated, to be a horse bandit, that is, to openly betray the empire, this sentence is enough for him to reflect on the prison for half his life, but from this sentence, Yan Ning also understood Li Changgong's attitude, he was going to follow Gao Yuan to the black and never look back, he felt admiration in his heart, and for the first time he had a good impression of this oily and slippery student, and he didn't want him to be plotted against him.

"Be a joke to a degree, Fang Caiyu Wenjie scolded you first, Li Changgong, this time the women's team is not as knowledgeable as you, next time you dare to talk nonsense, I will be the first to learn your archery. ”

Li Changgong couldn't control his mouth for a while, but fortunately, Yan Ning came forward in time to round the field and characterize the bickering between the two sides as a joke, otherwise Gao Yuan would have to carry the black pot and want to be a horse bandit, one of the tasks of the student soldier to Jicuiguan is to suppress the bandits, and the two brothers have not become public enemies.

Yan Ning came forward to maintain, most of the female soldiers smiled and gave up, everyone was fighting together, there was no need to rise to the level of the whole person, but some people were unwilling to give up, a noble woman did not look at Li Changgong and Yan Ning, but went to watch the lively third squad on the side.

"Li Jian, Li Changgong's words, you also heard it, how can the pro-guard team accommodate thieves who want to be horse bandits, this matter must be reported to the standard commander. ”

This aristocratic woman is very thoughtful, Yan Ning is the beloved daughter of the Hou Ye, she can't afford to offend, but Li Jian is a noble child from Kyoto, and he has come forward to testify, Li Changgong is in danger.

"I heard it, Li Changgong is tracking down the women's team's poor guards, so that the imperial county lord was almost injured, if the county lord is to blame, in addition to being a horse bandit, it is difficult to get rid of the guilt, just talk about the matter, the standard commander is here, you go to report, I will testify to you. ”

Li Jian is still the arrogant and domineering appearance in the past, but the words he said surprised everyone in the field, he not only defended Li Longbow, but also charged the women's team with dereliction of duty, the county lord was almost injured, as a personal guard, you can not escape the responsibility, Li Changgong is loyal to the county lord and takes the initiative to investigate, and then there is no crime and he will have a good reputation of being loyal to the lord.

The people brought by the county lord from Kyoto rushed to this point, Li Jian didn't dare to provoke anyone, the women's team looked at him with a complicated expression, and the fact that he had been avoiding in his heart could not be changed, if it wasn't for Gao Yuan blocking the crossbow arrows, the imperial county lord would have to be injured if he didn't die, if the personal guard was innocent, who would take responsibility, Gao Yuan? The defense plan was not comprehensive, he was responsible, but sacrificing his life to protect the master was enough to offset, what about the people of the women's team, what reason did they have to justify the crime of dereliction of duty.

"I also heard that at that time, the captain ordered that the women's team should be guarded around the county lord, and the other two teams captured the assassins, and as a result, some people in the women's team took the lead in grabbing the battle merits, openly disobeying the captain's order, if the assassins still have a backhand, the consequences are unimaginable. Yu Wenjie, is what I said true?"

Li Jian's words were amazing, this time not only the aristocratic woman was stunned, but even Yan Ning and Yu Wenjie were blushing, there were so many soldiers and civilians at the scene who could testify, once this fact was put on the table, it was two crimes, disobeying military orders, and the protection was not effective, if someone took the opportunity to fall into the ground, it could be completely extended to not being loyal enough to the county lord, and even the family would be implicated at that time.

Li Jian's attitude is even more unexpected by Li Changgong, he has never had a good impression of this Kyoto aristocratic child, when Gao Yuan nominated Li Jian as the team leader, Li Changgong did not say a lot of strange things, stammering with wealthy families, emphasizing sex and ignoring friends, public power and private use, unknown people, in short, all the sewage that can be stained on the side was splashed over, but Gao Yuan's stubborn temper he couldn't pull back, Li Jian became the team leader, along the way Li Changgong secretly made small moves, and most of the hard work and dirty work were sent to the third team.

Yan Ning came back to her senses and stared at the aristocratic woman she recruited, what are you going to provoke Li Jian for, just by virtue of your appearance and family background, being a concubine for others may not be able to do so, this is good, Li Changgong did not suffer, the entire women's team has to bear two major crimes, and the honor of the nobles has become a shame.

"Li Jian, Jie'er was not angry with the arrogance of the assassins, and ran up to help, at that time, the assassins had been surrounded, and the county lord was surrounded by the brothers of the cavalry patrol, and the captain and Li Longbow's team were by their side, even if they had a backhand, it was difficult to do so. Li Changgong's words before no one should talk too much, otherwise it would be a crime for the women's team. I think it's over, what do you think?"

Mei Ying brought another woman from Kyoto also opened her mouth to persuade: "We haven't officially started the competition with the sunset yet, let's not mess with ourselves first, everyone is a comrade-in-arms, why take a few jokes seriously, with my understanding of the county lord, she will only laugh when she hears it, Li Changgong has not joked with the county lord in person, and now he is not standing here well, don't forget that he is also the county lord's guard." ”

Li Changgong almost got into trouble for a while, but now that people admit their mistakes in disguise, he immediately took it by the way to please Yan Ning: "Captain Yan, I blame my broken mouth for not being measured, thank you for not knowing a lot of things like a scoundrel like me, and thank you for the two fairies Jie'er and Qing'er." Li Jian didn't say much, he used to be a brother and a dog, and he was offended by seeing people as low. ”

"Less set almost, I, Li Jian, don't have your rogue brother. The meeting will be dispersed, and the team will not be formed soon. ”

Mei Ying and Wen walked out of the deputy general's mansion gently, and saw their own guards gathered together, and the other people in the standard camp stood neatly, both of them felt that their faces were dull, and after saying goodbye to the old Marquis Yan, they walked to the team with a cold face, without looking at Li Changgong.

"Captain Yan, you go and bid farewell to the old marquis, don't let people say that the people of my personal guard team don't understand the etiquette of respect and humility. Li Changgong ignored the cold faces of the two, first opened the door to Yan Ning, and then conveyed the order of the captain of the guard, in fact, it was his ghost idea, Gao Yuan was ashamed and indignant before leaving, that had arranged to return to the camp.

"The women's team and the three squads escorted the county lord, and Yan Ning commanded. The eldest girl is a hero, just follow me as the herald chief. The two teams go separately, with smaller goals. ”

"Li Changgong, I'll go with the county lord. The standard commander Wen saw through Li Changgong's ghost trick at a glance, and the two teams escorted the county lord, and there were only a few people around her, this didn't show in public that in the eyes of the pro-guards, her standard chief was too light.

"Captain, I'm just conveying the captain's order, responsible for trying my best to protect you, and going separately is for the sake of the county lord's safety, so that the assassins can take care of one thing and lose the other. If you really want to go together, the captain is not there, go and tell the county lord that she wants to agree, and I will carry it out. ”

"Li Longbow, this standard commander orders you to go back to the camp together. ”

"Report to the standard chief, the herald post is directly under the captain of the guard, you have an order to go to Gao Yuan, my official is too small to take on the heavy responsibility. ”

Li Changgong is obviously calling the board, I, the herald commander, only recognize the captain of the guard, that is, I don't obey the orders of you, the standard commander, what can you do with me, military law, if you can turn out a lasso to catch the master, then I think I am unlucky.

Yan Ning went to say goodbye to the old marquis, and gently moved his gaze to Li Jian, but who knew that he looked at Li Longbow, the meaning was very clear, waiting for Li Longbow to give an order on behalf of the captain. The gentle standard commander really wants to turn his face and forcibly give an order, and the vast majority of the two teams of guards will definitely obey, but in that case, Mei Ying next to him will inevitably be distracted, the relationship between Li Longbow and Gao Yuan is well known, Mei Ying loves the house and Wuxia, maybe she will come forward to protect Li Longbow, and it will be even more ugly.

"Commander Biao, let's go together, with the old marquis's personal soldiers, safety should be worry-free, where are the assassins everywhere, I, the imperial county lord, are not so honorable. Li Longbow, gone. ”

As Wen gently expected, Mei Ying turned a blind eye to Li Longbow's disobedience, and only provided a step back for both sides. The guards are all selected elites, no one is too dull in their heads, and they can't see it after seeing this, the captain of the guards, Gao Yuan, is not at all lighter than Wen Rou in the eyes of the imperial county lord.

"Instructor, don't be angry, Gao Yuan didn't become a guard, and Li Changgong will inevitably take the opportunity to be angry. Hehe, it's really interesting, like you said, if he really becomes a guard, won't I get along with him more condescending in the future, and go out for a walk. Mei Ying didn't want to go, and let the instructor bear the notoriety. ”

On the way, Mei Ying whispered to comfort the gentle standard commander with an angry face, and the two gradually talked and laughed, as if they had forgotten the unpleasant scene just now, Yu Wenjie and Ling Huqing, who were following behind, frowned slightly, and the two talked with their eyes all the way, looked at Li Jian from time to time, and then nodded slightly.

I thought that Gao Yuan's failure to enter the guard was because the county lord hated him for his presumptuous offense that day, but who knew that the idea was actually from the standard chief Wen and gentle, so that the two smart girls who were used to power and trickery understood the position they should take in the future, and they admired Li Jian in his heart for his foresight, the imperial military ordered the separation of military and political affairs to make sense, and the pro-guard team must not allow the standard commander to gently intervene, and I really have to thank Li Changgong which bastard and scoundrel, otherwise I can't tell the situation at this moment.

Li Changgong's performance was beyond everyone's expectations, and it taught the guards a lesson invisibly, and in the future, putting the right position with the right person was a good thing for Gao Yuan, but it also brought a bad impact, and the standard commander would inevitably vent his anger on him, the captain of the guard.

Officials and superiors crush people to death, and they have to be low-key people in the future, nobles and commoners, instructors and students, bosses and subordinates, no matter what aspect is measured, he is unwilling to have a gentle relationship with the standard commander, and the captain of the guard cannot bury endless hidden dangers in the future because of the temporary scenery.

Military power, both of them are loyal to the empire, and they will not hurt Mei Ying, as long as the standard is not too much, what does it matter if she has a few points, she does not interfere in the internal affairs of the pro-guard team, and the two sides are safe, this is Gao Yuan's bottom line, and it is also the necessary force to prevent accidents and save her life.
