The Praetorian Guards escorted hundreds of young women into the city, forming a peculiar scenery on the streets of Kyoto, with bright military armor, unkempt women, pedestrians pointing and talking, and the once proud guards of the Prince's Mansion hanging their heads one by one and hurried away.

Gao Lin led a team of Praetorian Guards to open the way in front, riding on a horse and shouting non-stop, like a victorious general returning to the dynasty, and Gao Yuan slipped into the personal guards before entering the city, Mei Ruoxue saw this and took off his cloak, he was not polite, he took it and wrapped it on his body, mixed in the team without looking carefully, it was easy to recognize.

Walked all the way to the camp of the guards, ordered the guards to take care of the guards, and Gao Yuan and Gao Lin went to the palace to give orders. Mei Ruoxue carried the cloak and arranged the guard, took advantage of the lack of attention, threw the cloak far away, bent down after a while and picked it up, repeated it a few times and then kneaded it into a ball and stuffed it into the horse bag, called a captain, asked him to take someone to buy medicine for the wound to ask for a doctor, and stopped before leaving, and told him to find as many female doctors as possible, and it didn't matter if he spent more money.

After respectfully returning the sword, and briefly reporting the situation of the female eunuch, the old king looked at Gao Lin, and the little eunuch hurriedly added: "What the senior lieutenant reported is generally true, but the punishment is too cruel for the slave to lie, and he has skinned several people alive." ”

The old king clutched the sword for a long time and did not speak, and then asked, "You dare to use the lone sword to skin people, you are so bold." Gao Yuan knelt down and replied: "The minister didn't dare to let the sword be disgraced, and he was executed with a short knife in the army." ”

"Count you respectfully and prudently, get up, don't kneel down at every turn, are you comfortable!"

"The minister also reported that the camp had not been well for a long time, and he did not know where to place the female soldiers. ”

Wu Sheng stared at him when he heard that he was skinned alive, and his expression eased at this time, Gao Yuan inadvertently escaped, and the old king laughed angrily: "Your soldiers don't have barracks, do you want to come into the palace alone, or go and set up a tent and fence for you." Seeing that he knelt and did not kowtow to admit his mistake or explain out loud, the old king drew the sheathed long sword in his hand and picked it out, and Gao Yuan stood up and gritted his teeth to endure the pain.

"If you dare to bother with such things in the future, you will knock out your teeth. Temporarily staying in Moyun Temple, Gao Lin went to the Military Command Department to ask: Monitor a group of rabble, whether you want to build a city with money alone!"

Gao Yuan got the order to thank him, and when he left Merlin, he looked for Gao Lin, but he didn't even see a figure, so he had no choice but to go out of the palace to place the female soldiers.

Moyun Temple, the inner hall of the high wall is majestic, the incense in the Buddha hall is not extinguished, the accompanying eunuch has passed the will, the presiding officer ordered the female soldiers to be placed in the guest room, the Buddha horn turned around and left, the eunuch left and quietly told Gao Yuan, do not let the soldiers scatter wild in the Moyun Temple.

"Buddha, kill one person to save a hundred people, the means are cruel and the disciples do not repent, the sin falls on me, I only hope that the unjustly killed female soldiers will be reincarnated as soon as possible, and those who die tragically under the knife will not be evil in the next life. ”

There is no one in the main hall, the high wall is lit with three incense sticks, after kneeling and worshipping, it seems to repent and pray in front of the Buddha, and the mind is focused for a while and forgets where it is. Behind the main hall, the presiding officer stopped and whispered a Sanskrit sound, which clearly entered Gao Yuan's ears, awakening his thoughts from his sinking. Mei Ruoxue at the entrance of the hall was frightened, a moment ago she seemed to see with her own eyes that there was a phantom around Gao Yuan, she wanted to warn and couldn't make a sound, and she wanted to intercept her feet and couldn't move.

"You and the female guards stay in the temple, and the others are stationed at the back of the temple to stand guard. Those who deliberately damage the property of the temple will have their hands cut off, disturb the monks and practitioners, and cut off their heads. The empire has military law, and there are camp rules for breaking the army, Mei Ruoxue, one is indispensable, and three is someone who dies, either you or me. ”

Gao Yuan went out of the palace to inspect the defense, and made some adjustments to Mei Ruoxue's arrangement, so that each outpost was mainly on guard against foreign enemies, Mei Ruoxue followed behind, wanting to tell what she had just seen, but she was worried that it was an illusion, and she was even more dissatisfied with his threatening words, and soon forgot about it after talking about military affairs.

"Captain, Moyun Temple is enshrined by the royal family, the scale is grand, the scenery is quiet, if you refine qi and cultivate the truth here, you will definitely achieve something, mark it-"

"Refining qi and cultivating the truth, there are countless famous mountains and rivers, temples are dedicated to the Buddha to transform the world, practice is not cultivation, and the difference between one word is thousands of miles. The two donors both have Buddha fate, and in the future, they will use the Buddha's heart to dissolve their grievances, and they will refine the Buddha's heart with their grievances, knowing that the Buddha can turn into demons, and the devils can become Buddhas, and the Buddhas are demons, and the demons are also Buddhas. ”

The host came and passed away, Gao Yuan and Mei Ruoxue stopped and turned around, and when the host figure turned around the hall, the two of them bent down and saluted: "The disciple is taught." When he got up, he looked at each other, Gao Yuan shook his head with a wry smile, Mei Ruoxue shook his head and said nothing, neither of them understood what the host said, but there was no trace of the embarrassment of you being angry with me and me annoying you for a long time.

"I'll bring two people who can pass the word, and you can lead the others to stay. Also, the camp will be good before the festival, and the officers will also arrive, don't let me go to the small courtyard to bother me, pick up the male soldiers and go directly to the camp, and disrupt and reorganize the guards of the various provinces, hehe, I am notorious, and no one dares to make trouble in the short term. Also, buy more meat and less wine during the festival, advance the military salary for three months, and start training after the festival. You'd better be prepared, I won't care about anything but training and fighting. ”

After Gao Yuan finished speaking, he walked to the temple gate, and when Mei Ruoxue realized that she had not responded to the military regulations, there was only the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the daily affairs of the broken military camp were all overwhelmed on her shoulders.

When Gao Yuan returned to the small courtyard, Li Changgong, Li Zihui and Wen Qinghan were already half drunk, and the housekeeper wanted to prepare the wine and food again.

Throwing down the chopsticks and picking up the wine glass, Gao Yuan took out a token from his arms: "Brother Wen, tomorrow you will go to the Lingbo Biao Camp and tell Captain Qiu two sentences, the first sentence: Instructor Qiu, Gao Yuan wants to lead the cavalry infantry to fight, and wants to borrow a team of cavalry." The second sentence: Scarface, Gao Yuan is about to have a child, should you be called a master or an uncle. ”

Holding the token of the military department, I went to pass two sentences, one sentence was not related to official business, Wen Qinghan took the token and said with a smile: "I should go to the Inspectorate to report you for fake public and private affairs, or thank you for giving you the opportunity to visit relatives, hehe." Gao Yuan poured himself a drink, with a smile on his face and no joke in his words: "If you have official duties and no selfish feelings, if you don't say a second sentence, Scarface will never lend me the cavalry, for fear that Li Longbow and Li Zihui will be damaged." ”

"You are a big official, just say it, the master doesn't care, Zihui, drink. ”

"Gao Yuan, I will be the captain of the cavalry scout team, if you don't agree, go back to the prison of the Criminal Department. ”

Gao Yuan's wine glass stopped in mid-air: "It's easy to wake up from a good dream, I borrowed the cavalry of the standard battalion, and I want to use it to train the guards." Go to the cavalry scouts, overkill, and be a cavalry commander. ”

"Senior brother, what Qinghan has learned has never involved military affairs, although the martial arts are acceptable, leading the troops is really not what he is good at, wait for the Chinese army to copy the documents. ”

"Just copying documents, why should the three of us invite you. I once said that fiefdoms are like cages of tigers, so I ask you to participate in the planning of military planes and find ways to divide and disintegrate the morale of the enemy army. You can't be called chaotic in the barracks, so I will call you Staff Officer Wen in the future, the rank of inspector, don't be too small. ”

Li Longbow's wine glass paused on the table, and said with a smile: "Qinghan just came to the rank of patrol, I should be promoted to chief." Gao Yuan nodded and agreed: "Temporary cavalry commander, can you remove the word temporary generation, hehe." ”

"According to the military system, there is only one cavalry standard for each battalion, and if you set up one more, where will the war horses come from?"

"The broken barracks are full of cavalry, and the war horses have long been ready, all grassland horses. ”

The four of them chatted while drinking, all they talked about was military affairs, and the three of them were sent away in the dark, Gao Yuan was practicing knives, and the housekeeper reported that there was a captain in the city guards, Gao Yuan put down his knife to welcome guests, pondering while walking, and couldn't tell what it meant.

"Captain Gao, if you come to visit rashly, you shouldn't turn it away. ”

"How dare you, please—"

Sitting down in the living room, Gao Yuan didn't know where to speak, and the captain of the city guard got straight to the point: "The people in my camp you killed today, but I didn't come to seek revenge, but I want to thank you for saving the face of the city guards." Gao Yuan's face was a little red, and people didn't blame him, but he was embarrassed: "There is a lot of offense, Gao Yuan has to be a last resort, please don't be surprised." ”

"I didn't know that I would pardon death row prisoners before, let alone set up a broken barracks, my subordinates and I were at fault first, although we were strictly ordered not to make it again after the order was issued, but the mistake was too late to repent, and I hope that the high lieutenant will not be guilty of the past. ”

Gao Yuan finally heard some eyebrows, the captain of the city guard had been stained with fish, but the people were open and honest, and the words were clear enough, at that time, the death row prisoners were not soldiers who broke the barracks, and they did not commit any crimes after the holy decree, Gao Yuan was angry but could only endure it.

"My lord, you can explain it in person, it shows that you are not a villain, Gao Yuan will also say it bluntly, the past can be blamed, but I don't want the news of the humiliation of the guards to spread, it doesn't matter if the reputation of the military camp is broken, I can't let the female soldiers live in the eyes of others!"

"That's why today you killed the main culprit without tracking down the sergeant, and you didn't submit your confession to the military department, which is why I came, and in the future, if someone in the city guard dares to spread the news, I will still skin him alive. ”

"My lord, please wait a moment, I will go and get a confession, destroy it in person, don't mention this matter again. ”

Takagaki took the transcript from the hut and calmly handed it to the captain of the castle guard, and he flipped a few pages casually, his old face turned red and was torn to pieces, and he threw it into the brazier and saw it turn into ashes.

"If the senior lieutenant can do this, I will pass on the words of the regiment commander to you, be careful of the Li family's revenge, Li Haofan has been in the guard for many years, and his henchmen have to be guarded. ”

"Please tell the shogun, Takagaki thanks for the trust. Today, if the chief caretaker hadn't been from the Li family, I might not have skinned people alive. ”

The words of both parties were honest enough, and the two went out as if they had become friends, and when they returned to the hut after seeing off the guests, Gao Yuan sighed helplessly. It is very simple to kill a few more people who have insulted the guards, that is, the captain of the city guard, who presents his confession to the king, and he cannot escape military law, so that the news is difficult to block, and hundreds of female soldiers will live in gossip for decades to come. A small school captain, who can't kill and can't kill the people who spread rumors, can have today's ending, Takagaki has done his best to nominally avenge the five female soldiers who died, why not leave as much dignity as possible for the living.

Please come out of the warm and cold, settle down the guards, Gao Yuan once again lived in a simple place, practiced swords and practiced qi meditation and pranayama, the news of the murder of the officers for revenge spread, the humiliation of the guards was covered, the military and civilians in Kyoto had different opinions about the military academy captain, and the person concerned lived in the downtown like a deep mountain, and the door of the small courtyard could not be opened several times a day.

"The county lord scolded Gao Yuan for being cruel, but secretly resolved the disaster, Qing'er, guess how to convince Your Majesty. ”

The news spread into Cuihua Palace, Hua Yue changed his clothes and quietly went out, walking half a street alone, few people on the street cursed Gao Yuan, and the bookstore promoted him as a hero, and he returned and kept his mouth shut. Duguying kicked over the table on the spot, and under the persuasion of Mei Lian, Yu Wenjie and Ling Huqing, he did not lead the imperial history in the court to impeach Gao Yuan, walked into Meilin at dusk, and told his grandfather in detail what Li Jie did in the grassland.

Li Mansion, Li Haofan kicked over the coffee table again and again, the two younger brothers died in the hands of Gao Yuan, this revenge does not repay the Li family's face to gain a foothold in Kyoto, when hatred blinded the eyes, someone sent care in time, and the conspiracy was brewing under the pretext of grandiose, but it is a pity that there are two old people in Meilin who can see more clearly and farther.

"Holy decree: Li Haofan, the deputy envoy of the former battalion of the Praetorian Guard, has many meritorious deeds in abiding by his duties, awarded the rank of guerrilla general, and transferred to the chief general of Hongyi City. ”

Hongyi City is located in the northern frontier of the empire, adjacent to the Li family fiefdom, nominally under the direct management of the imperial county government, in fact, it has long become the Li family's forces, and after being promoted, it seems to take care of it, but there is no benefit, a holy decree broke the splendid future, and the conspiracy was resolved without a trace, Li Haofan only hid his hatred and left Beijing to take up his post in the order of the military department to arrive within a time limit.

"The reins are made of soft gold wire, which can restrain the fierce horse at any time, and will neither tear the reins nor hurt the fierce horse. Alas, the county lord is too soft-hearted, and he started early, and when they are all exposed, it is the best policy to catch them all, but he doesn't listen to my advice, and chooses the next strategy of returning to the mountain, wanting to protect the Li family, which will make Gao Yuan suffer in the future. ”

"I'm willing to bow down to the conspiracy, you don't understand the art of war. Yu Wenjie turned out the map of the county where Hongyi City was located, and brought in Linghu Qing to point: "The cavalry is running for a long time, and it is very likely that it will take advantage of its unpreparedness to seize the city and hold Hongyi City. ”

"Why do soldiers always want to fight, don't they know that they will spend money to die?"

"Nonsense, what are you doing if you don't fight a war and raise soldiers, half of it is enough to defend the territory!"
