Chang Ming locked Mozhi Pavilion and went out. When he had reached the middle of the moon, he breathed a sigh of relief, watching the white mist curl up in front of him, wrapping his cloak tightly around his body, and headed for the residence.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound, which was especially clear in the quiet snowy night - he was sure it wasn't his own footsteps.

He couldn't help but feel his heart move, he gripped the horizontal knife tightly, thought for a while, and continued to move forward.

Sure enough, someone flew out of the snowdrift behind him, armed with knives, guns and sticks, and greeted him directly on his head and back.

Chang Ming didn't turn his head back, he moved his feet, and immediately lowered his body and slashed backwards. When he lowered his head for a while, he felt the sound of the wind from the stick whizzing past his head, and then his hands flew up, and the two knives hit the knees of the two people around him continuously. Seeing that the blade was approaching, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and did somersaults in a row. At the same time, his right hand drew an arc in the air. Before the person holding the blade could react, he was thrown out The horizontal knife with its sheath hit the face, and almost passed out from the pain.

Chang Ming stood still at a distance, stretched out his hand to take back the horizontal knife, and shrugged helplessly at the three of them, who were immediately frightened and unable to move.

Ambush and assassination are also Ning Wu's forte, and they are indispensable in normal training. However, although these people have resentment in their hearts, they are also timid to attack. After several hesitation, they are easily knocked down by Chang Ming.

Chang Ming didn't stay for long, but just brushed off the frost and snow from his body without saying a word, turned his head and left.

The next day, acting battalion commander Li Changming led the Seventh Battalion to practice ambush and assassination in the snow, and asked everyone to wear masks. Before the training began, he specially made everyone drink a large bowl of ginger soup.

On the other hand, all the officials impeached Prime Minister Su Shengyi for colluding with the border generals and plotting wrongdoings, causing another storm in the court.

When Yijing heard the news, he lightly turned over the battle damage form presented by the long inscription in his hand, and said, "Barely enough."

When Qin Zuoxi heard this, he just shrugged, "Do we really not care?"

"ignore him."

Qin Zuoxi had no choice but to resign.

The flower tree sitting in the hall looked at the thin body in the snow from a distance, and said: "It seems that it really doesn't grow too tall."

Yijing: "It's like this in the military camp...he probably reached my chin."

"The acting battalion commander you set up yourself, don't you want to take action? As long as you say a word, he won't have these troubles." Yijing can indeed do it.

"If he wants to sit in the position of battalion commander, he can only settle all these things by himself. He will come to me for trivial matters. Why should I be a battalion commander?"

Huacishu smiled wryly: "But I heard that the rumors are rampant, very bad, even yours is involved?"

"You said that because he was born well, I cheated on public affairs for personal gain?" Yijing picked up the teacup and blew on the hot air.

"It's also said that you have already made a private decision for life."

“………………………………………” Yijing put down the teacup silently.

Huacishu chuckled lightly.

"Stop laughing, about Su Xiang..."

Huacishu forced his smile back, turned his face away slightly, and did not look at Yijing: "There is nothing to complain about. The so-called fate is probably like this. He will die, and we will be silent in the court. I recently received news , Gu Xiaowu was promoted to Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Officials, and will soon return to Wangcheng."

Yi Jing nodded and stopped talking.

Looking out of the window, one can vaguely see that Chang Ming is starting to retrain the members of the Seventh Battalion. Under the window, the Ming River is frozen for thousands of miles, making it even colder.

Changming went to Xuanwu Pavilion because he was summoned by Yijing.

"Acting Battalion Commander!" Guo Xiu hurried forward behind him, panting, "Acting Battalion Commander, my mother is seriously ill, can I take leave and go home tomorrow?"

Chang Ming looked him up and down, and then said: "Have you brought enough money to buy medicine?"

Guo Xiu was stunned for a moment, Chang Ming reluctantly gave him his purse, and asked him to return home as soon as possible, Guo Xiu left with a thousand thanks in surprise.

When he arrived at Xuanwu Pavilion, Yijing was printing his official seal on a document, and called Chang Ming to come forward and hand him the document and the envelope at hand.

"Since you have acted as battalion commander, you should also go to the Ministry of Officials to register and explain. Logically speaking, you should go to the Ministry of Officials, Wailang. If everything goes well, give this letter to her. If there is any change, don't force it."

Chang Ming held the envelope in his hand, looked at it, and said to Yi Jing, "Commander, you didn't seal the envelope properly."

The envelope was simply folded, not sealed with wax or glue, and there was no ink stain on the envelope.

Yijing smiled and said, "Why should I seal the letter I entrusted to you?"

Chang Ming suddenly didn't know how to answer, so Yijing returned to the main seat and sat down on his own, and continued to exhort: "Maybe this trip is not going well, but you don't need to rush there. Just play it by ear on the way." Alright, I know you don't like drinking, so don't force it."

"Yes, I will go to the Ministry of Officials two days after my dismissal." After saying this, he bowed and retreated.

When Chang Ming dismissed everyone and returned the next day, he found that Guo Xiu, who had been on leave for a day, had never returned.

"Where is Guo Xiu?"

Everyone looked around and shook their heads. Lin Jiu said, "It seems that something happened at home, and he asked for leave."

"The official received the news that he was on leave, saying that he was returning today, why did he disappear?"

Lin Jiu also shook his head.

Fang Xingaiyan said: "He asked for leave to go home, but he only returned to the bookstore. Jianhegu Bookstore is not far away. If he is tall and big, can something happen?"

"The acting battalion commander might as well wait for him until tomorrow, maybe something happened suddenly at home, and I really can't leave."

Chang Ming nodded in agreement without saying a word.

Sitting in the Mozhi Pavilion, Chang Ming seemed to recall something from the past. He entered the room regardless of the cold, but opened the window and looked up at the snow falling on the pine trees outside the window.

These few days he was alone in Mozhi Pavilion, he could hear the hoarse brush strokes on the paper, the passionate dance of the brazier, and the silence of the eaves melting snow and dripping water. Iron cavalry, wolf smoke mountains and rivers.

Chu Guangliang suddenly reported that Guo Xiu had returned.

"Let him come in." Chang Ming turned around and closed the window, seeing Guo Xiu coming slowly, see you in worship.

"There is an urgent matter at the Xiaguan's house, and I really can't leave, so I am late, please forgive me on behalf of the battalion commander."

Chang Ming moved his nose, frowned, and asked, "What's the hurry?"

"My mother is seriously ill..."

Chang Ming didn't allow him to defend himself, and said coldly: "I didn't return after the leave, and I used an excuse to lie to the superior! Procrastinate! Fifty times!"

The soldiers outside the door were about to step forward and drag Guo Xiu out, but they didn't expect Guo Xiu to break away from the soldiers angrily, and said angrily, "What's your reasoning! I do have an urgent matter at home, just to strengthen your military prestige, so I must send you away." People beat me up indiscriminately?!"

Chang Ming ignored it, but said lightly: "After you are punished, I will tell you where the flaws are."

"I don't accept it! You occupy the magpie's nest, you don't want to live in the world, you dare to be arrogant in Mozhi Pavilion, can you be worthy of the former battalion commander who is still dead?!"

Even though Guo Xiu yelled, Chang Ning still seemed to have never heard of it. Instead, he was waved and forced to drag him away. Who would have thought that Guo Xiu would not follow, and the noise broke out. Everyone in the Seventh Battalion didn't understand why, and finally this matter came to Yijing. .

Yijing looked at the expressionless Chang Ming, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"General Commander, Li Changming is too much. It's not right for a subordinate to ask for leave and return home late, but there is a reason for it. He not only abused his power, but also slandered the subordinate for lying!" Guo Xiu spoke before anyone could speak.

Yijing raised his eyes and saw that there were seven or eight people joining in the fun.

Chang Ming didn't look at Yijing, but said in a calm and clear voice: "If you don't come back after the deadline, you dare to chatter here?"

"The lower officials have already explained that it is really the mother who is seriously ill." Guo Xiu said viciously, Qin Zuoxi frowned and remained silent.

"Muqing is seriously ill?" Chang Ming sneered indifferently, "Since it is Muqing who is seriously ill, why do you smell like powder all over your body?"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar, and even those who had good intentions ignored the impoliteness, so they got close to Guo Xiu and sniffed it carefully.Yijing was unmoved, Li Changming had a very keen sense of smell, he knew about it.

"Indeed there is!"

"You boy, where did you go to spend time and drink!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Guo Xiu's face turned pale in an instant, he hesitated and didn't know how to explain, his eyes flicked from side to side, but he didn't dare to look at Yijing and Changming.

"Take it seriously, what's the matter!" Yijing scolded, and the surroundings were silent.

Guo Xiu was so anxious that he didn't know what to say. He broke out in a cold sweat even though the ice and snow hadn't completely melted.

"Commander", Li Changming saluted Yijing respectfully, "Since he has something to hide, please report it privately."

"Since this is the case, at this time, the battalion commander is given full power to deal with it, and this officer will not intervene."

Fang Xingai clicked his tongue in the crowd, Ou Wenqing and Qin Zuoxi glanced at each other, their faces couldn't help laughing, Yijing turned around, and went to Xuanwu Pavilion, not forgetting to call Chang Ming together.

"Why did Guo Xiu overstay?"

Chang Ming said instead: "Guo Xiu is also a master, isn't he? Such a strong smell of powder..."

Yijing understood it, and said with a smile: "This is true, he is the master of Xing, so he has a strong personality and is more impulsive, and he is very dissatisfied with you. If you had explained to him early on why you knew he was lying to you, you would still be the same today. It's calm, isn't it?"

"I don't dare, the commander of the army has experienced small storms. As long as the commander of the army is willing to take action, the subordinate officials will have less messy things. But when will you appoint Chu Guangliang?"

Yijing asked back: "When is Chu Guangliang willing to stop submitting his resignation letter to me?"

Chang Ming was speechless.

Yijing seemed to have noticed something, turned around and asked: "The clothes are thin, aren't you cold? I seem to feel that your body temperature is a little high, is it a fever?"

Chang Ming shook his head: "The lower official has a high body temperature, so it's fine."

Changming went all the way to the former court, and had imagined all kinds of difficulties, but he never expected that there would be another level - he didn't know the Wanggong Road, let alone how to get to the official department, he got lost.

Chang Ming sighed helplessly.

"Who's there?" Suddenly someone shouted, and when he turned around, he saw a handsome man approaching him, and it was easy to know that he was a Xingzhu.

"Your Majesty has never met Your Excellency, so why did you sneak around in the previous court?"

"........." Chang Ming didn't know how to answer for a while, and finally saluted: "The next official is the fifth-rank school lieutenant of the Ningwu Army, the acting battalion commander of the seventh battalion, and was ordered to go to the Ministry of Officials to register , just get lost here."

The man obviously looked at him incredulously, and asked again: "What proof?"

Chang Ming took out the document Yijing had given him and the battalion commander's seal from his pocket and handed it to him.

"It's the lower official's rudeness. The lower official is Luo Jianghong, the head of the Ministry of Officials. If you don't give up, the lower official is willing to lead the way for you to the member of the Ministry of Officials, Wai Lang."

"Then it's time to work."

After going around, Li Changming had to admit that he was dizzy, so he asked, "How should I get out of the palace after registering?"

"Uh..." Luo Jianghong raised his head and thought for a while, then said helplessly after a while: "This really makes Xiaguan hard to say."

“……………………”

"How about this, the next official will go to the staff member Wailang in two quarters of an hour to show you the way to the palace gate, how about it?"

Changming didn't like to have too much contact with Xingzhu, but he had to agree.
