Chapter 195: Light Cold as Snow
The Zhu Gate of the high-rise mansion courtyard is closed, and the red lanterns are swaying in the wind, as if they are nostalgic for the glory of yesterday, and occasionally people come and go, all in a hurry. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"The prosperity is still there, but people don't come. Shumei opera remnant snow, who knows the taste. ”
In the high wall, the snow covers the verdant, the wind blows, turns into a garden full of Qionghua, blooms in a moment, the fragrance does not lose the cold plum, the three-foot Qingfeng rotates around the body, a tree of red flowers flutters a little bit, to throw the sword and raise the wine jug, the plum blossom snowflakes are intertwined into a misty illusion, and the young man who drinks goes to the small pavilion to pick up the book.
The old military minister lost power, the Wen Mansion in Kyoto suddenly fell into the cold, the Wen family returned to the fiefdom early, leaving only a few side branches to guard the ancestral home, the king's will spread, the founding princes left Beijing one after another, and no one in the Wen Mansion wanted to stay in Kyoto.
"Young master, there is a visitor. The old butler put away the wine jug as he spoke, and smiled lightly: "Wen Bo, didn't I say that unless my sister sends a message, no one will see it?" The old butler sighed while handing over the name post: "The young master has been away from Beijing for several years, how do you know when you will return, and when the weather is warmer, you will go to Lingbo City to pick up the young lady." ”
"Wearing a green robe and half a pot of wine, the garden is full of red flowers and sword dance. In spring, the swallows are looking for the old nest, and they are happy and happy. ”
"Sister, Wember, let people clean up the hall, and I'll go to greet you. ”
Wen Qinghan threw away the book and ran out, and when he passed by the long sword in the snow, he picked up his toes, and a cyan arc lit up in the snowflakes, and it was inserted into the scabbard hanging three zhang away.
"Dark clouds, locked up in Meiying's mansion for more than half a year, are suffocated. ”
Outside the gate of Wenfu, there is a foot of snow, a man and a horse frolicking in the snow, the war horse raises its hooves from time to time, kicks the snow ball to the master, Gao Yuan finishes it while fighting back, and the black military uniform is like embroidered with white flowers.
"Take you out, I don't want to go back to the city when I run, how many times have I been camping in the wilderness, and let my senior sister beat Mei Ying and scold. ”
The bowl's big white hooves lifted and fell, but did not kick the snow away, the dark clouds came over and rubbed off the snow behind Gao Yuan with his head, he was proudly arching his head, Gao Yuan flew out lightly, and the leather boots fell into the snow less than half an inch when he landed, and the dark clouds were still noisy, he even shook his hands and shook his body, and there was no half of the snow marks on his clothes, so he led the dark clouds to the stone pile and tied them, and Wen Qinghan had come out.
"The captain is so interested, good martial arts, please-"
"Brother Wen is late, it will be a pity that there is a good snow scene in front of the house. ”
There is neither an official position nor a name on the name post, but it makes people see the identity at a glance, Gao Yuan's secret path makes Hu Qing really right, Wen Qinghan is definitely not a thing in the pool. deliberately did not let people clean the snow in front of the door, but unexpectedly, Gao Yuan broke his intentions, and Wen Qinghan added a little interest.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Wen is so patient, I really don't want to know the current situation of the instructor?" Wen Qinghan also smiled: "The captain is about to tell me." ”
"I'd rather go to the battlefield and charge than fight with the literati, you won. Gao Yuan put down the teacup and briefly informed Wen Qingrou of the current situation, Wen Qinghan smiled: "Why didn't the captain mention the grassland war?"
"Everyone has their own troubles, and you can go to the bookstore to drink tea and listen to the details, which are far more exciting than what I said. ”
"In this case, the lieutenant can be interested, and go to the bookstore to listen to the comments of others. ”
Gao Yuan could only admit defeat: "Brother Wen, since you guessed the meaning, why bother me?"
"Lieutenant embarrassed? Hehe, that's the other way around. Wen Qinghan beckoned when he said and instructed the handymen who came in: "Your guests are coming to the door, go and let people prepare a banquet." The handyman stood still, his eyes looking at Takagaki, and it was time to take his leave according to etiquette.
"Go today, come tomorrow, it's a big deal to accompany you to the bookstore. ”
Gao Yuan got up to say goodbye, and Wen Qinghan sent off the guests with a smile: "If you don't want to go, why go back and forth in vain, the criminals and evil slaves are a battalion of their own, and if the captain is free, Qinghan is waiting for him at any time." ”
Seeing Gao Yuan lead the horse away, Wen Qinghan raised a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the old housekeeper asked beside him: "Young master, is he still coming?" ”
"Wimber, if he comes alone, he doesn't need to pass it on anymore, he goes directly into the hall, and if he has a guard, he only says that I am not at home. ”
After leaving the Wen Mansion, Gao Yuan turned over and quickly melted into the flow of people to welcome the festival, the prince left Kyoto, the streets were more lively, the common people were busy buying New Year's goods, the news of the coming war had not spread to the people, and the court and government were busy again.
"Take it, Li Changgong ordered, get out of here. ”
The Department of Military and Political Affairs, the former chief instructor of the Lingbo Standard Battalion, and now the chief officer of the Department of Examination, has several piles of files on Watson's huge desk nearly a foot high.
"Chief Instructor, you say hello to the Deployment Division, and ask me not to send me a group of officers who have never seen blood. ”
"The deployment division is in the fifth courtyard, Lang Zhong's surname is Nan, and his nickname is difficult to speak, so if you are brave enough, go and find it. ”
Lai was still entangled in the official room, several school officials walked in, their arms were full of thick files, Gao Yuan was worried about Watsen, crawling in the pile of official documents every day, whether it was a military general or a civil official, he took care of himself and left.
Lieutenant, holding a battalion of military power, sounds quite majestic, only to know that people are soft-spoken when they walk into the military headquarters, they can hardly see the military lieutenant, the captain's uniform is seen everywhere, and a general will be shaken out in front of his eyes, and when Gao Yuan salutes, he feels that his arms are sore, and his mind is far faster than physical exertion.
"Brother, please go and report again. ”
No one accepted the silver ticket, the old trick failed, and Takagaki could only say good things with a smiling face, although most of the guards in front of Nanlangzhong had the rank of samurai.
"Lieutenant, I will reprimand me three times, and then report it, and I will be expelled from the military headquarters. ”
The captain of the guard excused himself in embarrassment, and said in his heart that if it weren't for the captain of the military academy, if the adult was gone, the report would make you hurry up and make room, and there would be many people waiting to be summoned.
"Don't wait, brother, come and drink in my camp when you have time. ”
"Which battalion dares to drink in the barracks!"
The house leak happened to be rainy, after the kind words were finished, someone shouted not far behind him, Gao Yuan looked back and stood up and saluted, it was too bad to go out today, and the Minister of Military Affairs was standing in front of him with a calm face.
"Captain Break, I heard you right, you're going to invite someone to drink in the barracks. ”
"Returning to my lordship, I don't know where the broken army camp is, so I ask my lord to punish him for a moment. ”
The Minister of Military Affairs' face softened slightly: "The camp is not demarcated, what are you doing in the deployment department, where do you let the officers report to duty, and go to the military command department." ”
Gao Yuan was about to slip away after saluting, and the Minister of Military Affairs shouted again: "Stop, take people away by the way, Mei Ruoxue, the captain of your personal guard." ”
"Captain, guard captain Mei Ruoxue reports. ”
Takagaki returned the salute with his arm stiffened in front of his chest, half-open his mouth and couldn't speak, staring blankly at the female officer who came from behind the Minister of Military Affairs, her face was three points similar to Hua Yue, her height was probably a few inches taller than Hua Yue, she couldn't tell her age, she should be about the same as Hua Yue.
"My lord, can you change someone, I-"
The Minister of Military Affairs sank his face: "You have been the captain of the personal guard, you know its duties, and you have the right to make this request?"
"Obey military orders!"
The Minister of Military Affairs sneered and entered the Deployment Division, and Gao Yuan replied weakly: "Let's go, Captain of the Guard, go to the Military Command Department." ”
Walking out of the gate of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Mei Ruoxue ran quickly to the side, Gao Yuan couldn't take back his gaze at a glance, more than 100 people stood in the snow with horses, helmets and armor were covered with snowflakes, in front of each team, the officers pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife, and seemed to be ready to draw their knives and fight.
"The personal guard should be one hundred and thirty people, but it is one hundred and thirty people, please check it out with the captain. ”
The Ministry of Military Affairs sent a female guard captain, the guards have seen blood on the battlefield, Gao Yuan loves and hates in his heart, how good it is to replace the captain of the guard with Li Longbow, but he also understands that it is impossible, loyalty to the royal family is undoubtedly a shield to protect safety, and betraying the royal family is a knife to cut off the head.
"How can there be two women's teams?"
"Report to the captain, the guards of the various prefectures seized by the military department, there are men and women!" Mei Ruoxue's temper is obviously not very good, she was rude in front of the Minister of Military Affairs, and she can be forgiven when something suddenly happens, and it is unbearable to look down on female soldiers in front of her subordinates: "If the captain can convince the Military Command Department not to accept female guards from all provinces into the camp, he will immediately report to the Ministry of Military Affairs and take the personal guards to leave the broken barracks." ”
Mei Ruoxue didn't say much, but she deliberately revealed a lot of information, there would be no shortage of female soldiers in the broken barracks, and the pro-guard team would go and stay as an overall action, and they would only obey her orders at critical moments.
"Brothers, oh, sisters, although I don't like to have a female guard captain, I'm really glad that you have joined the broken military camp, and my head will belong to the personal guard in the future, and I was just in the Ministry of Military Affairs, and suddenly saw the Minister of Military Affairs and the female guard captain, I was frightened for a while, Captain Mei Ruoxue, I salute and apologize to you. ”
"I accept your apology. ”
Apologize with a standard military salute and forgive with a standard military salute in return, Gao Yuan secretly gritted his teeth and held back his anger, Mei Ruoxue smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth, and the look on the face of the guards remained unchanged and they were snickering in their hearts, the captain won the beautiful captain in the first confrontation and lost badly.
"There are ready-made camps outside the city, can you easily settle in? Come here, the location is here, go and see for yourself, and I will notify you when the renovation is completed." ”
After waiting for a long time in the military command department, I had to say a few words, Gao Yuan got on the horse and went out of the city when he went out, Mei Ruoxue followed closely with her personal guards, there were a few points of sludge on her clothes, so she went to tease the dark clouds, and she didn't watch out for a small loss, and secretly scolded the master for not being cute and the war horse was more naughty.
As soon as he got out of the city, the dark clouds spread his hooves and accelerated, Gao Yuan deliberately did not stop him, and he was in a good mood for a while, and on one side he saw Mei Ruoxue leading the sentry pouting beside him, and on the other side was a sentry guard on the guard, and the dark clouds on the official road could not let go of the speed, and he could not shake off the following guards.
"You're good at riding, try it another day. Gao Yuan looked down the steps, Mei Ruoxue urged the horse to be parallel to him, her eyes looked at the dark clouds from time to time, she liked and hated, but she didn't forget her duty: "Where will the captain go in the future, you must inform the next mark first, and the captain of the guard heard that you have been." ”
"The military department sent people to renovate the temporary camp, let's go and see, it's almost there. ”
"Transformation? Hmph, the Military Command Department is too underestimating people, probably deploying troops outside the camp. ”
Gao Yuan couldn't help but look over, and said worriedly: "The broken military camp is full of crooked melons and cracked dates, and the two groups of people still have blood feuds, so the military department naturally wants to take precautions." Mei Ruoxue was so angry that her apricot eyes widened, and she said in her heart that you were the crooked melon and cracked jujube, and seeing that Gao Yuan didn't turn his head sideways, she had to catch up and get angry: "Captain, the Founding Prince's Mansion is very strict in selecting guards, not only must you have superb martial arts, but you also have requirements for appearance and conversation, which crooked melon and cracked jujube can be mixed in as a guard." Gao Yuan's face was red and he didn't answer, Mei Ruoxue looked like Hua Yue, and her temper was even better, she only took advantage of it and didn't suffer losses, so she didn't know what the martial arts were, but it was not bad to think about it, or it was difficult to convince the guards who came down from the battlefield.
It was still far from the location of the camp, so the group asked the patrolling sergeant to stop them, and checked them several times along the way, and when they entered the camp, Takagaki felt like a prison, and estimated that there were no less than two battalions of guards on the periphery, which should be all cavalry, probably ready to outflank and pursue at any time.
"Captain Mei, what do you think?" Walking around the camp, the barracks, stables, and training ground should be fully equipped, much stronger than when they were in the prairie, and as for the troops to be monitored outside, Takagaki Quan was used as a guard force sent out.
Gao Yuan mostly thought about how to train the troops, but Mei Ruoxue valued how to control the mutiny, put away the picture board and replied: "If the battalion is bombed, it will be difficult to protect the captain to break through, so you can only passively defend and wait for peripheral rescue. ”
"Are you observing the barracks or the prison?"
"There is a captain in the formation of training troops and marching and fighting, and the first duty is to protect and monitor you, the Imperial Broken Military Captain. ”
Gao Yuan was completely speechless, how could he not be so bold as the captain of the personal guard, thinking that he would have to accompany her every day in the future, and he was no longer interested in watching, so he thanked the accompanying officer and got on the horse and left.
When he was about to enter the city, Gao Yuan reined in his horse, looked at the entire patrol team of guards behind him, and said tentatively with a red face: "The military camp has not been approved yet, where does the guard team live?" Mei Ruoxue's answer was crisp and neat: "According to the military system, where does the captain live?" Seeing that Gao Yuan was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak, Mei Ruoxue chuckled and said: "I have peeked at the small courtyard mark, the place is too small, and the captain should not be publicized in Kyoto, just go out and bring a sentry guard, and let the others still live in the military post for the time being." ”
"Forget it, I won't ask, it's your duty again. ”
"After entering the city, the herald post and the internal affairs post followed me, and the first team leader led people back to the military post, and allowed two teams of people to go to the street every day to see the excitement, don't make trouble and don't suffer losses. ”
Gao Yuan completely let the female guard captain defeat, knowing that it was useless to stop it, so he let her arrange, and after returning to the small courtyard, he called the housekeeper, briefly introduced the identities of the two, and ordered the empty room to be handed over to the guard, and turned around and went to the backyard. I walked out of the hut at dusk and took a turn in the courtyard, I had to admire Mei Ruoxue's alertness, the guard post was staggered with light and dark, and the patrol post cooperated with each other, and the small courtyard did not leave any defensive corners.
"Captain, what will you do tomorrow?"
Then he played a scoundrel and invited a man into the camp as a soldier. ”
