Chapter 21 Wagang's Old Friend
The matter of Wu Mei Niang has come to an end for the time being.
Qin Mubai recalled that from the original apprentice hunting to today's relationship with the emperor, this matter was really tortuous and thrilling.
It seems that Wu Mei Niang's gorgeous rose is really not so easy to pick! Now, although she has made an unbreakable marriage contract with herself, in fact, the two are only bound by some kind of "unspoken rules". Moreover, this rule is always dangerous. Not only that, although they are a nominal couple, it is not so simple for them to have this name with her - at least, they have to eliminate the sharp blade hanging above their heads first.
The two really want to walk together, or Qin Mubai really wants to get Wu Mei Niang, which is not as easy as it seems.
"Challenging, I like it."
In the following days, Qin Mubai officially began his new job in the Wu Palace. The sacrificial wine was changed to a lieutenant less than a day. This position is obviously much more interesting than the sacrificial wine.
At least now he has 200 leading soldiers, which is far more people and more powerful than those in charge of the wine sacrifice in the East Pavilion.
There are 800 soldiers in the whole Wu Palace, divided into four regiments, led by four lieutenants. There are two Zhengwudianjun on it, who are the most senior military commanders of the royal palace.
Of course, what the royal family's soldiers need to do is mainly to protect the prince and be responsible for the safety of the royal family.
Qin Mubai, who became a lieutenant on the first day, came to the official office of Wu Wangfu very early. The two brigade commanders have already gathered together and are waiting for him here.
Qin Mubai was happy to see the two brigade commanders. One is naturally Yin Yang, and the other is Yuwen Hongtai.
This Yin Yang's efficiency is quite high. It's only a day or two to transfer Yuwen Hongtai from Zhaoling!
Yuwen Hongtai put on a majestic and exquisite mountain armor, with a helmet and a knife. His tall body was even more powerful. When he saw Qin Mubai, he greeted him with great joy: "Mr. Qin... Ah, Captain Qin, I thank you for your kindness! My eighteen generations of ancestors thank you for your great kindness!"
"You nerd..." Qin Mubai was a little embarrassed, and Yin Yang also laughed.
"Hey hey!" Yuwen Hongtai giggled and bent down with his fists. "Captain Qin, I'm a rough person and I can't speak. Anyway, from today on, you are my ancestor. Whatever you want me to do, I will do it!"
"Occeed, shut up!" Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, "It's a rare opportunity. Work hard. Just don't humiliate me - Yin Yang, have you all gathered?
"When you go back to the lieutenant's words, they are all assembled and wait for the lieutenant Qin's lecture!" Yin Yang hugged his fist and replied.
"Okay, I'll change my clothes." Qin Mubai walked into his subordinate - that is, his private office, and saw a golden bright armor hanging on the armor rack.
Yin Yang and Yuwen Hongtai came in and looked at the admiration of this pair of armor.
"Mingguangjia! My most expensive and best armor in the Tang Dynasty!"
"Captain, try it on!"
Qin Mubai carefully appreciated this pair of armor and was quite impressed in his heart. I have heard the name of "Tang Shisanjia" for a long time, and the skill of making armor in the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the best today. This bright armor is the first of the thirteen armors of the Tang Dynasty. Even in the twenty-first century, it may not be able to make such pure handmade armor.
Beautiful, strong, lightweight, the biggest feature is gorgeous and eye-catching!
In foreign countries, many noble generals and even national fathers are proud to have a set of bright armor.
With the help of Yin Yang and Yuwen Hongtai, Qin Mubai wore the whole set of bright light armor. In an instant, the temperament of the whole person changed dramatically. The previous romantic young man instantly became a heroic and majestic young general.
Iron head, scales and armor, golden glitter can reflect human figures. The snowy knife is cold and cold, and it is obviously a superior saber.
It's extraordinary. Qin Mubai thought about the generals' uniforms he had seen on TV before. That kind of cheap props couldn't smell like this.
Today coincides with the takeover of the First Regiment of the Royal Palace under the command of Qin Mubai, who is responsible for guarding the Royal Palace. After Qin Mubai finished wearing it, he took two brigade commanders, Yin Yang and Yuwen Hongtai, to the school to parade the martial arts.
Two hundred royal soldiers have been assembled and stand in a neat phalanx waiting for the instruction.
The royal family has very few opportunities to participate in the war. They are usually used as garriers and honor guards to show the royal prestige. Therefore, the quality of sergeants is ordinary and high, at least all of them are tall and powerful, and the armor and weapons are very beautiful and gorgeous. Standing neatly in a class, quite a little momentum.
Qin Mubai is in office, and there is nothing to say. I simply made a self-introduction, made arrangements for the work of the royal palace, and handed it over to Yin Yang, who was familiar with the road, for specific deployment.
This work is still very simple.
After finishing these things, it was already dawn, and Yin Yang took his subordinates to the sentry posts in all parts of the palace. Qin Mubai should go to Li Ke's place as usual, so he took Yuwen Hongtai and several soldiers to the Prince's bedroom to deliver the sentry.
Li Ke just got up when he was three poles a day. At a glance, he saw Qin Mubai guarding the post, and his eyes lit up and smiled: "That's good, Mu Bai. Wearing this armor is quite like that. It has the elegant demeanor of the Duke of Wing... Well, go into the room and talk."
Qin Mubai naturally knew that Li Ke had a lot to say to him, and the two went into the inner hall and sat down together. The maids served early tea and then retreated, and there were only two people left in the room.
Li Ke was still a little sleepy. After drinking half a cup of tea, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mu Bai, it seems that I did a bad thing with good intentions this time?"
"Your Highness, where does this start?" Qin Mubai naturally knew that he was referring to Wu Mei Niang's matter and said, "It's over to turn bad luck into good luck. Wu Mei Niang is still my nominal woman.
"That's right. On the surface, it seems to be thrilling, but..." Li Ke paused for a moment and shook his head. "I'm afraid the wedding date between you and Wu Mei Niang is far away. Unless your father completely forgets this matter, do you dare to touch that little lady?
"I understand." Qin Mubai said.
Li Ke curled his lips and said, "My father is also a man. It's not easy for a man to completely forget such a thing.
"I understand." Qin Mubai said with a smile.
"You don't seem to be worried or afraid at all?" Li Ke blinked a few times and looked at Qin Mubai suspiciously and said with a smile, "It seems that you are not only a thief, but also a good thief who steals flowers in the face of danger."
"Tianwei Longlong, I'm certainly afraid of it. But I'm afraid it won't solve the problem, Your Highness, what do you think? Qin Mubai said with a smile.
"Well, that's good!" Li Ke nodded and laughed, "But from today on, I'm going to keep a lower profile. Well, I just wanted to have fun to pass this boring time, but I didn't expect to get into trouble with my father. Moreover, the Duke of Yi must have complained about me in the bottom of his heart... This time, I'm really not a person inside or outside!"
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? My father has never complained about Your Highness. On the contrary, my father has always been grateful for His Highness's kindness. Qin Mubai said, but thought to himself: It seems that Li Ke is extremely disappointed that he is stealing chickens and rice this time. Originally, I wanted to be the next matchmaker for the Qin family, but I didn't think about it, but it happened to be self-defeating and caused trouble. It is unknown whether his father hates Li Ke in his heart. But after this incident, Li Ke was embarrassed at all. He just opened his mouth and mentioned his marriage with his sister Shuang'er.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Li Ke smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Wang will continue to be drunk and be a dunk prince who doesn't care about everything. In this way, maybe no one will stare at me anymore.
Qin Mubai didn't say anything, but his heart lit up slightly: What does Li Ke mean by this? How dare he deliberately hide his light and bide his time to show others like this every day? ...Who should I show it to? Is it possible that someone is staring at the Wu Palace from time to time and monitor his every move?
"Your Highness, why did you say this? Is it possible for someone to be unfavorable to Your Highness?" Qin Mubai asked. As a princely officer, it is my duty to beware of these things.
"The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop!" Li Ke smiled with a somewhat helpless smile. He shook his head and didn't say anything.
Qin Mubai was also interesting and didn't ask again, but thought to himself: Listening to Li Ke's words, he didn't mean to offend others, but someone secretly wanted to embarrass him everywhere? Who will embarrass a prince because of something? ...I remember that before I came to the palace to become an official, my father told me not to get involved in the battle for the crown prince. Is that what Li Ke is referring to now?
Forget it, I'd better not ask about royal family affairs. When you want me to understand, Li Ke will naturally tell me.
The two chatted for a while, and Li Ke called a team of enchanting and sexy dancers and enjoyed the silk bamboo dance. Qin Mubai admired him for a while and left.
For ten days in a row, Qin Mubai stayed in the prince's mansion to lead the garrison and did not go home much. Everything is safe in the royal palace.
This job is somewhat boring except for being idle. Li Ke doesn't go out of the door. He only listens to music, dances, drinks and makes music in the house. It is rare to see one or two strangers and visitors in the house, which is like an isolated alien world.
Ten days later, Qin Mubai handed over the shift, and finally he could go home to rest for a few days and walk out of the palace to breathe.
Back home, Qin Mubai saw two strange carriages parked in the yard of the Qin family, which had always been deserted in front of the door. Obviously, there were visitors. He asked his servants to ask, and the servants replied that it was Qin Shubao's old friend Cheng Zhijie, Duke Lu, and the British Duke Li Xun.
Cheng Zhijie, isn't that Cheng Yaojin? Li Xun, now the most popular military commander in the Tang Dynasty, second only to Li Jing - then go and get to know him!
Qin Mubai came to the front hall and saw his father Qin Shubao sitting in the main seat in the living room, and the other two men sitting in the guest table. The three of them were drinking and talking happily. Seeing Qin Mubai coming in, Qin Shubao raised his hand and smiled and said, "Look, that's the dog Lianger!"
Qin Mubai cleverly came forward and bowed his hand first: "Xiao Er Qin Liang, see the two elders."
"Haha! OK! The stinky boy is really like the shell taken off by Qin Erge, which is very elegant. I came here to look at you today!" A man said with a loud laugh during the banquet.
This person is Cheng Zhijie, the mixed world demon king Cheng Yaojin, who is popular in folklore and many romance novels. He is now the official of General Right Wuwei, the Duke of Lu, and the Governor of Puzhou. Although it is not the legendary devil's shape, it does look rough. The body is extremely tall and strong. Although he is nearly 50 years old and slightly fat, he is still old and powerful. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes. At a glance, he looks extremely bold and unrestrained.
"Liang'er, this is your Uncle Cheng and Uncle Li. They hugged you when you were young. Qin Shubao smiled beside him. His old friend came to visit, and he was obviously in a good mood.
"The younger generation will pay a visit to Uncle Cheng and Uncle Li." Qin Mubai saluted again with a smile on his face.
In contrast, Li Xun looked much more elegant. He nodded with a smile and said with a smile, "Second Brother Qin, your son is really a young and romantic figure. He has the demeanor of those years! When Yudi saw him, he was like seeing the vigorous appearance of your heroic youth.
"Haha, I'm old!" Qin Shubao laughed cheerfully and said, "That was many years ago, and I almost forgot it myself. However, no matter how I remember, you brothers you know in Wagang can't forget them. It's rare that you still remember that I came to see me together. I'm really happy today - come on, this Qin Xian wine is given by the emperor, and I'm drunk today! Liang'er, you should also sit down and have a few drinks with your uncles.
"The child is obeded."
"Come on, stinky boy, just sit next to my old Cheng. Today is like a family banquet. I don't care about the broken rules of the etiquette of the eldest and the young!" Cheng Yaojin shouted in a loud voice and waved to Qin Mubai.
Qin Shubao and Li Yu both laughed: "This old ghost is still the same virtue as when he fell into the grass."
"Hey hey, I really can't change my reckless morality. Like you, if you get off the horse after the war, you can become a sour Confucian. Cheng Zhijie pulled Qin Mubai and pressed him to sit down beside him. He laughed and said, "especially you, Li Maogong, you have always been full of heart. If you dare to cheat when drinking today, my old Cheng will not let you go, and I will press you down!"
"Haha!" Everyone laughed together.
Qin Mubai smiled and poured wine and said to Cheng Zhijie, "The nearest platform is the first to get the moon. Come on, Uncle Cheng, the younger generation will toast you first! The younger generation will do it first, and my uncle will do whatever he want!" After saying that, he drank the whole glass of liquor in one gulp.
"Okay, good job! The stinky boy has guts. This wine is strong enough, but I can't lose to you!" After saying that, he picked up the glass and drank it all. As a result, his face turned red and he coughed violently, which made Qin and Li laugh again.
"This old ghost is still so good-fashioned!"
