Chapter 41: Guards

King An's study is simple and comfortable, there are four treasures on the table, there are several big characters hanging on the wall, King An looks at a pair of upright four-character Wei tablet "pleasant and made" with his back hand, and Sun Jingwen stands aside.

King An said: "I asked you to look for him before, you said that there was no free faction on Jiang Hushang at all, and I thought I would never find him again, but I didn't expect to meet so soon." ”

"Maybe the prince and this Xu Shaoxia do have a fate, I hope he is the person the prince is looking for. ”

"Well," King An said, "what do you think of him coming to Ningxia to find his mother?"

"If it is really the person that the prince is looking for, he really shouldn't come to Ningxia to find his mother, but these may be clues, maybe the biological mother he is looking for is Zheng Jinlian. Sun Jingwen pondered.

King An said: "But the piece of jade he brought is in the shape of a mosque, which means that his mother is likely to be a Hui, but Zheng Jinlian is a Han Chinese!"

Sun Jingwen was puzzled: "Could it really be that the two of them happen to look exactly the same?"

"I don't know," King An said: "But this matter is very important, if you don't find out, my heart is always not solid, you must pay special attention to this matter!"

Sun Jingwen said: "The subordinates obey the order! The subordinates think that it is better to see if he can find his mother first." ”

"Whether he can find his mother or not, he may not stay in Ningxia forever, if he wants to leave, what should we do?"

Sun Jingwen pondered: "It's better to give him an official position and keep him in the palace." ”

King An nodded and said, "Okay, this matter is decided!"

......

The next day, as soon as Zilong had breakfast, someone came to call Zilong to the prince's study.

Zilong thought to himself: "Is there news of my mother so soon?"

When he arrived at the study, Zilong saw King An sitting behind his desk, and a mighty general standing aside, looking at Zilong with a smile.

Zilong bowed down and saluted: "The junior has seen the prince!"

King An smiled: "In the future, you don't want to call yourself a junior, you will say that you are subordinate in front of me in the future!"

"Huh?"

"This is the commander of the guards of the Anhua Palace, He Jinhe, I want to appoint you to be the deputy commander in my mansion, okay?"

"What?" Zilong never thought that King An would give him the official position of deputy commander, Zilong was born in the countryside, and later became a beggar and fell to the Quartet, often unable to eat a full meal, seeing the people in the yamen, scolding the "dog official" in his heart never thought that he would be an official, and now King An asked him to be the deputy commander of the guard, it was like a dream.

Zilong hurriedly bowed down and said: "Zilong, thank you for your love! ”

King An laughed and said, "Zilong don't worry, follow Commander He to study hard for a while, it won't be a problem!"

Zilong thought that he couldn't refuse the prince's kindness again, anyway, he was just a deputy, and it shouldn't be difficult to be competent, so he immediately hugged his fist at He Jin and said, "Subordinates see Commander He!"

He Jin hurriedly replied: "Deputy Commander Xu doesn't have to be polite, you and I will be called brothers in the future!"

After Zilong and King An said goodbye, he and He Jin came out of the study, and He Jin said, "Brother Xu, go to your room and clean up." You will live in the outer courtyard of the palace today, and our brothers will live there! ”

Zilong returned to his room full of joy and was packing up his things, Wan'er came in from outside with a smile, "Congratulations to Commander Xu, you want to have a treat!"

Zilong smiled: "The guest must be invited, hehe, I was about to tell you, but I didn't expect you to know first." ”

Wan'er said: "I just found out, so I came to congratulate you." ”

"By the way, Wan'er, how old is this deputy commander, how many deputy commanders are there in King An's mansion?"

"What about the deputy commander, also known as the commander," Wan'er's eyes rolled, "It's a small official as big as a mung bean, there are more than 2,000 commanders in our mansion, plus the generals of the garrison outside the mansion, it's tens of thousands!"

"Huh?" Zilong was disappointed, "Why are there so many?"

"Hahahaha," Wan'er looked at Zilong's appearance and bent over with a smile. I didn't explain it to him, but came with him to the outer courtyard.

The two came to the official hall where He Jin was, and He Jin said: "Brother Xu, the palace guard department has five thousand households on the left, right, front, middle, and back, and each thousand households has more than 1,000 people, and they are stationed in the palace according to their positions. He is responsible for the actual combat training tasks of the guards of thousands of households, and I am concurrently in charge of this period of his absence, but I am busy with military affairs, and I am a little wasted in the physical fitness, fighting and other training of the guards, and now the prince has sent you, just to solve my urgent needs. ”

Zilong heard what he meant, as if there was only one deputy commander of the Guard Division, and peeked at Wan'er, who was giggling there, and realized that she was playing tricks on herself, so he pretended to be angry and gritted his teeth.

He Jin saw it and asked, "Brother Xu, is there any problem?"

"Huh?" Zilong hurriedly said, "No, no, no." ”

He Jindao: "I have already sent someone to call all the five thousand households, and today let our brothers from the Guardian Division pick up the wind for you!"

"Brother He is too polite!"

At that moment, Zilong was introduced to five thousand households, each of whom was a person who could fight well, and then everyone drank. He Jin understands that Zilong is King An's favorite general, and this Miss Wan'er is also in love with him, and she treats Zilong differently from others.

Wan'er saw that they were drinking happily, so she went back first.

He Jin is the commander of the Royal Guards Division, responsible for the training and combat missions of the 5,000 guards of the Guards Division. Usually stationed in the palace, not easy to go out.

Outside the palace of King An, the north of Ningxia is one of the important towns on the nine sides, and the people and horses of Ningxia military town are about tens of thousands of people, and they are under the command of the general army appointed by the imperial court. In times of war, King An has the right to rule.

Since then, Zilong and He Jin have been getting along with He Jin day and night, training the soldiers of each thousand households every day, and going to the mosque with Wan'er to look for news of his mother in his spare time.

Zilong trains soldiers to be different from others, the rest of the thousands of households are boxing when training, but Zilong found a lot of stone locks, and asked the soldiers to lift stone locks all day long, squat on horses, practice strength, and take them to run in their spare time, and the training is very simple.

One day, Rilong was training in the middle camp, and He Jin came to check. Zilong ordered his subordinates to practice by themselves and talk to He Jin.

He Jindao: "I heard the prince say that Brother Xu is good at kung fu, I don't know which master he is learning from?"

Zilong was reluctant to tell him about the Wuji Sword Technique and the Poisonous Dragon Palm, so he said: "Learn some kung fu indiscriminately, how can you have any teacher, Commander He smiled." ”

He Jin saw that the prince was very serious to Zilong, but he had not seen Zilong's real kung fu, and he had no bottom in his heart, so he intended to let Zilong show his hand today, so he said: "Haha, Brother Xu is too humble." How about a competition between the two of us today? It will also open the eyes of the soldiers under him!"

When the soldiers heard this, they all shouted: "Good, good!" "Commander He and Deputy Commander Xu are competing!"

Zilong's mind turned quickly, and since He Jin said it, it was better than it anyway, so he said: "Then, please lead He to show mercy!"

"I won't show mercy to my subordinates" He Jin smiled: "Brother Xu, you can also show your real kung fu!" After that, the two opened the field in the training ground, and all the soldiers gathered around.

He Jin smiled: "Brother Xu, please!"

Zilong clenched his fists and said, "Offended!" With that, he threw a punch and hit He Jinmian's door. He Jin held it with one hand, kicked Zilong in the lower abdomen, Zilong calmly avoided it, and the two of them fought back and forth in one place!

Zilong's kung fu is far above He Jin, but Zilong understands in his heart that he can't win this battle by saying anything, how can he not come to the stage in front of many soldiers. It's a newcomer again, not the time to fight. and deliberately humble.

After a while, He Jin suddenly stopped, and said angrily: "Why is Brother Xu unwilling to use his true skills?"

Zilong smiled: "Okay!" A punch was thrown, and He Jin hurriedly blocked. With his arms intersected, He Jin retreated three or four steps, laughed and said, "This is what it looks like!"

Zilong's two-percent skill is already on par with He Jin. He Jin felt that Zilong's pace was steady, his fist was like a knife, it seemed that he would be careless, and he didn't dare to be careless, but after dozens of rounds passed, he didn't win, so he couldn't help but feel anxious!

He Jin was not a person who had nothing in his body and was incompetent, and he thought to himself: "Am I going to use my trick today? If I can't defeat him again after such a round, it will be disgraceful to win!"

Zilong was worried about how to end, only to see He Jin shouting: "Brother Xu, be careful!"

As he spoke, he jumped into the air, kicked and kicked to the top of Zilong's head, and Zilong parried with his arms. He Jin suddenly used the "jack pendant" method, and instantly fell to the ground, and it was a punch in the chest!

He Jin's moves are simple, but they are practical. Zilong's eyes were fast, he could have dodged it, but he didn't avoid it at this time, and he blocked He Jin's fist with both hands, but he was suddenly beaten back seven or eight steps by him, and fell on the soldier next to him!

He Jin hurriedly ran over, helped Zilong and said, "Brother Xu, are you okay?"

Zilong reluctantly smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, Commander He doesn't have to worry!"

He Jin knew that he used ten percent of his strength in his last punch, and he regretted it in his heart, but it seemed that Zilong was fine, he didn't have any obstruction in his breath when he spoke, and said in his heart: "This Xu Shaoxia's kung fu is really good, does he not want me to lose face in front of everyone?" I didn't expect him to be a caring person!"

Zilong saw him looking at him suspiciously, and said, "Commander He doesn't have to worry, I'm fine." ”

He Jin and Zilong smiled heartily and said, "Brother Xu, this is you, if someone else takes this punch from me, three lives will be gone!"

This is the truth, Zilong said: "He is a strong commander in martial arts, and his subordinates admire him!"

He Jin understood in his heart, and smiled at the soldiers: "Hehe, you have to train a lot, and you can also practice superb martial arts when the time comes! Okay, quickly carry your Deputy Commander Xu to the house!"

"No, no" Zilong reluctantly stood up and said, "Commander He, the last trick you used is really exquisite, I don't know how you can still use a thousand catties in the air?"

He Jin saw the key point of this move at a glance at Zilong, and he also admired the prohibition in his heart, and said happily: "Haha, I have a total of three moves of this kind, I call it "Three Moves to Kill Someone", if Brother Xu can see it, I will teach you all another day!"

Zilong exclaimed: "Thank you Commander He!" said goodbye, he really didn't expect He Jin to be so attentive to him, but he was very moved!

He Jin laughed!

As she was talking, Wan'er suddenly walked over, saw everyone gathered together, and said, "What are you doing?"

Zilong smiled: "I'm learning from Commander He!"

Wan'er smiled: "Don't make trouble, my father let you go?"

"What's the matter?" He Jin smiled: "Could it be that the prince is going to recruit a son-in-law?"

Wan'er blushed again, and said angrily: "Commander He is joking again! Ignore you!" After that, he said solemnly to Zilong: "My brother is back, and my father wants you and Commander He to go to see him!"

He Jin frowned.
