The next day, the west wind was fierce on the battlefield, and tens of thousands of elites of the Qing court lined up according to the battle array. For a while, the swords and guns were cold, the soldiers' helmets were bright, and when the whistling sound, the sound of killing was bursting, and the rivers and mountains were magnificent.

Stands are raised at the north end. Guangxu sat in the center, Chen Hua and Qin Xiaolou, Tang Rumu, Tang Chuchun, and Tang Rufeng changed their appearance and makeup, changed their true appearance, and pretended to be the guards around Guangxu, and they were left and right.

The rest of the civil and military officials sat in a row according to their seats.

Rong Lu is in a high position, and the position he sits in is very close to Guangxu. Seeing that the guards around the emperor seemed to be a few fresh faces, he couldn't help but turn his face and take a few more looks.

Qin Xiaolou said in a low voice: "Second brother, Rong Lu is looking at us again, should he recognize us." ”

Chen Huaji said: "What do you think of me and Rumu now?"

Qin Xiaolou couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "I'm afraid that even my mother won't recognize you." ”

Chen Huaji said: "So put your heart in your stomach." Look calm and don't show your feet. ”

Although the combat strength of the Qing court army at this time could no longer be compared with that when it entered the customs, the children of the Eight Banners were able to fight well after all, and they were supported by Han soldiers, and a set of ten-party arrays had also evolved into a shape.

But on the battlefield, tens of thousands of soldiers began to practice from the long snake formation, and the formations were transformed into each other, and the changes were endless. The flag waved, the snake's head turned upside down, and the long snake suddenly turned into two dragons out of the water. After fighting for a while, the middle lane converged forward, and turned into a large array of heaven and earth. The two ends retreated, forming a four-door bottom formation, interspersed with each other, and turned into a five-tiger flock formation. Then it is arranged according to the six Ding Liujia and turns into the Liuding Liujia array. Kill to the hearty place, the first half is pulled into a line, the second half is twisted and turned, and the seven-star Beidou array is formed. The head of the formation surrounds a circle, leaving the eight exits of the door of life and death, and it evolves according to the eight trigrams, which is the eight gates of the golden lock array. Then, the eight gates became nine palaces, and each grid of soldiers interspersed and reciprocated, becoming a nine-character chain array. All kinds of hidden weapon traps in the formation are released, and the ambush array on all sides is finally completed!

Rong Lu looked at it with joy on the stage, stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay! Okay! My Qing Dynasty army looks neat and strong!"

Guangxu was frightened, and secretly thought: "I have no military power, if these soldiers can be used by me, it will be fine." If you listen to the Queen Mother and Rong Lu, I will be in danger......"

Rong Lu smiled at Guangxu and said, "Your Majesty, are you still reasonable to see the ministers training their troops?"

Guangxu nodded again and again: "Aiqing is like a god with soldiers, and it is a blessing for all the people to have loyal ministers like you in the Qing Dynasty!"

Rong Lu laughed: "It's not relying on the Empress Dowager Lafayette and the emperor's heavenly might! The old minister is just passing on the will for the sky!" After that, with a wave of his hand, the flag at the southern end of the battlefield was held high, and in an instant, smoke and soil were flying, and tens of thousands of troops quickly gathered and retreated, leaving a large open space in front of the stands.

Rong Lu got up and said loudly: "Today, the emperor's grace is vast, the emperor personally came to Jinmen to parade, the generals and soldiers worked hard to drill, strengthen the prestige of our country, pass on the order, good wine and food, and reward the three armies!"

The corners of Guangxu's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything. Chen Huaji secretly thought in his heart: "What a domineering Ronglu." Although the emperor is here in person, he has no sense of existence, and you have sung a one-man show alone. ”

All the ministers clapped their hands and applauded: "Oh, what Lord Ronglu said is extremely ......."

Rong Lu looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "There is another big event today! However, the emperor intends to take this opportunity of the military parade to convene a martial arts contest and openly select five of the emperor's personal guards in the army! The rules for this selection are very simple, four words -- those who are capable live in it! Who can fight the battlefield, and the top five will be the emperor's new personal guards with swords! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, everyone, please!

With a wave of his hand, a hundred soldiers formed a circle under the stands. Rong Lu said: "Anyone who wants to serve by the emperor's side can come and show their skills!"

The soldiers in the military formation exchanged words and discussions, and they seemed to be very interested in this once-in-a-lifetime contest that could turn a pheasant into a phoenix. Gearing up to try, I heard a shout from the crowd: "I'm coming!"

Everyone looked over one after another, only to see a bearded man with a nine-foot height on his back and a bear's waist, took off his military uniform, dragged a broad axe backwards and jumped into the circle, and roared at the soldiers.

Rong Lu said with a smile: "Okay! Sure enough, a good man! Opportunities are difficult for a thousand years, and whoever is willing to compete with him can come to fight!"

Before the words fell, a long-faced man in the army jumped up with a waist knife in his hand, landed beside the big man and said, "I'll fight you!"

When the big man saw that someone was fighting, he didn't speak, but picked up a broad axe and cut it head-on. The long-faced man saw that the axe was strong and heavy, and he didn't dare to carry it hard, so he turned around and narrowly dodged the axe.

The military array applauded again and again, everyone's face was full of excitement, seeing the two come up and fight fiercely, some people were eager to try, and some people were afraid, secretly thinking: "Fighting with life like this, Ge Laozi is better to play with his life less, mix some military salaries in the army, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble in his spare time, it is better than anything else......"

Looking at the battle situation again, although the strong man has a big waist and a round waist and infinite strength, he is far less flexible than the long-faced man.

The corners of Qin Xiaolou's mouth twitched, and he said in a low voice: "Second brother, with the style of these two, you still dare to fight for the position of the former guard?

Tang Rumu said with a smile: "The front is not like a point, but in the back, how can the old ghost of Ronglu put people next to the emperor? ”
