Within a few days, Meng Qian took office.The new army commander seems to be kind and close to the soldiers. The new officer did not set fire to the fire, but slaughtered cattle and sheep, and invited the whole army of Ningwu to eat and drink, so that it was very lively.

It so happened that when the commander of the army was toasting, Chang Ming refused because he was not suitable for drinking, but Meng Qianlei was furious when he didn't think about it, and he was dragged down and whipped.

In a hurry, Helian Qingxian was about to step forward, but she didn't expect to suddenly feel a pain in the back of her neck, and she was unconscious again.

When he was awake, his elder sister He Lianxian was watching over him.

"What's going on?" Helian Qingxian sat up from the bed, rubbed her head, "You hit me?"

He Lianxian shook his head lightly, turned around and pointed at the other person, Helian Qingxian was even more helpless.

"What are you doing?" Helian Qingxian frowned.

"The army commander wanted to beat someone, but the battalion commander didn't dare to speak. Are you going up to be beaten together?" Xing Cheng blinked innocently.

"Then you just watch him being beaten?" Helian raised her eyebrows lightly.

"I'm just a small military officer. It's not easy for me to eat and clothe myself. I don't have the energy to meddle in other things." Xing Sheng pretended to be sad and said: "The battalion commander himself has to bow his head. Who made us lose our luck?"

After saying that, he got up and left with the excuse that it was getting late, leaving Helian and his brother speechless.

"I always feel that this guy has something to say." He Lianxian said softly.

"However, if this is the case, then follow the good advice, and then you will see for yourself."

A few days after Meng Qian took office, he searched for all the newly promoted military officers of the Seventh Battalion this year, and had a long talk, with the exception of two people, one named He Lian Qingxian and the other He Lian Xianqing.

Because they are twin siblings, that afternoon was spent in Meng Qian's misidentification of two people and their constant correction. When the sun was setting, Helian siblings came out of Xuanwu Pavilion, and Helian Qingxian asked suspiciously. Asked his sister: "Are you Helian Qingxian or Helian Qingxian?"

He Lianxian lightly raised his hand and knocked on him.

Dinner is still killing chickens and goats, eating meat and drinking. The commander of the army ordered Chang Ming to carry all the empty wine jars by himself on the grounds that the commander of the Seventh Battalion did not like to drink alcohol. taste.

Asking the Seventh Battalion Commander to carry the wine jars caused everyone to panic at first, and it was difficult to sleep or eat. After seven or eight days, they became accustomed to calling the Seventh Battalion Commander to pour wine.

Chang Ming put the horizontal knife on his back again, and stacked the crooked empty wine jars on the cart, with the rope wrapped around his arms, and walked step by step between the banquets where the music was over, and headed towards Taniguchi.

Since the commander of the army took office, he has been unable to participate in the training of the Seventh Battalion because of such trivial matters. He has less than two hours of rest every day.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the nights are as cool as water, maybe because of the thin clothes, or maybe because of the profuse sweat, when the breeze blows by, I suddenly feel chills all over my body.

He was still clear-headed. Even though Meng Qian made things difficult on purpose, the commander of the Seventh Battalion still had enough energy. When he was thinking about it, he finally landed on the ancient battlefield of Lingcheng in the early summer of last year. It seemed that everything was quiet and the stars were silent. There is only clarity in his heart, and he knows that it's not because the Jianhe Valley is too quiet, but because his heart is ashamed, and he has reached the mouth of the Jianhe Valley before he knows it.

The soldier who took his cart looked him up and down, his eyes were full of contempt, he turned and walked away, as if he didn't suppress his voice on purpose, Chang Ming said the sentence "Isn't it Jiang Yuan? The wine will have the antidote, why can't I smell his breath?" , Could it be that the Xingzhu gave him enough sleep and discarded it?" He understood clearly, but walked back calmly.

"Battalion Commander?" With a weak call, Chang Ming followed the prestige and saw Gu Liang Yiqing's immature face.

"Why are you here?! Go back quickly, don't be seen." Chang Ming said hurriedly.

"It's okay, they're all drunk, no one will notice." Gu Liang Yiqing looked at his thinning face with sympathy, "Young officer, give the battalion commander a shoulder rub. I'm afraid I'm tired after these days. Too much."

Chang Ming smiled casually, and comforted him: "It's okay, I'm in good health, this trivial matter is not too difficult, I just have to pretend to be dying."

Gu Liang smacked his tongue with sunshine.

"How is the Seventh Battalion these days?"

"The battalion commander has no time to take care of the seventh battalion, and Meng Qian didn't allow Chu Guangliang to take over. Instead, he found his favorite new military officer, Pan Zhu, to act as an agent for the battalion affairs." assistance."

"Pan Zhu? It's only been a few months since I arrived in the Seventh Battalion..." Chang Ming rolled his eyes and asked again, "How is Chu Guangliang?"

"Chu Guangliang used to help as usual, but Pan Zhu always likes to do some messy things, either practicing martial arts for days and nights without rest, or finding troubles for the other five battalion commanders everywhere, but later Meng Qian sent him Shout out and reprimand him, he is finally honest."

"That's all right." Chang Ming smiled lightly.

"The battalion commander is not as good as a small sergeant right now. He has no prestige at all. Are you really not going to take action?" Chu Guangliang asked anxiously.

"As long as there is nothing wrong with the Seventh Battalion, then there is no need. We are already under the roof. If the Battalion Commander does not know the general situation and refuses to bow to his knees, we will stand up for him. I am afraid that we will be involved, and then the foundation of the Seventh Battalion will completely change hands. "Xing Sheng raised his eyes and said slowly.

"However, when everyone saw the battalion commander like this, another young boy came to power, and the crowd was so excited that they were barely suppressed..."

"Take care of them, especially the Helian sisters and brothers, don't make any mistakes." As if remembering something, Xing Cheng smiled softly, "Don't say that you are still young, the former commander of the army and the commander of the seventh battalion should have used this word back then."

"What's the difference?" Chu Guangliang frowned and stared at him, "They know how to advance and retreat, this Pan Zhu..."

Unexpectedly, Xingcheng snorted coldly, and said: "If you really know how to advance and retreat, why are you so down today!"

Chu Guangliang stared at him in a daze.

"Okay, don't think too much about it. Whether it's Gan Yi, Meng Qian, or Chang Ming, let them do what they want. Besides, it's okay for Li Changming to suffer a lot. The time has not come yet, so I can only wait for the court's actions." , Send a letter to the army commander as soon as possible, too impatient, I am afraid that we will cut ourselves for no reason."

Half a month later, the days of drinking and having fun for the entire Ningwu army were not over yet, and Chang Ming didn't even have the two hours to rest.

"Seventh Battalion Commander, this is for the banquet tomorrow, you have to divide it up properly!" Pan Zhu looked down at his battalion commander with a smile full of treachery and cunning.

The Seventh Battalion Commander sitting across from him was sitting cross-legged. There were three large buckets between them. The black beans and red beans in the middle bucket were messy, while the two sides were half buckets of red beans and half buckets of black beans. The Seventh Battalion Commander was honestly mixing the mixed The black beans and red beans separated one by one, and did not look up to answer Pan Zhu, but Pan Zhu turned his eyes left and right, and finally landed on the three barrels.

"Ah!" Right now, when the night is dark and the wind is high and everything is quiet, his exclamation seems to be loud and abrupt, startling countless birds.

Chang Ming put away the horizontal knife with a wave of his hand, and continued to divide the beans, while Pan Zhu was frightened by the blow just now and stood up, relying entirely on his right leg for support, while his left leg was half resting on the ground, trembling non-stop , his tibia was in pain, he didn't see how Chang Ming made a move, he could only feel the whiteness in front of his eyes, and he managed to avoid kneeling on the ground in embarrassment.

"Be careful, this bucket is not light, and if you try to move your foot, you will kick yourself, go see a military doctor." Chang Ming lowered his head and said as usual.

Pan Zhu was so frightened that he rolled and crawled out of the hut.

Chang Ming put down the beans in his hand and let out a long breath.In the middle of the night, there was a lamp like a bean. The light was dim and the color of the bean was close. After tossing and tossing like this for a long time, he felt that his eyes were dry, dizzy and dizzy.

He seemed to hear something, like a person coming on the wind, or like a ghost walking slowly, his ears could only catch one or two faint sounds, and he immediately understood, when he raised his head, The door in front of him was pushed open.

Xing Cheng glanced at him, walked in with his sword in hand, closed the door smoothly, walked to the opposite of Chang Ming, sat cross-legged, put the long sword aside, and reached out to scoop up beans from the big bucket in the middle.Can't help but have a headache and said: "You go to sleep for a while, I'll help you share."

"Why are you here?" Chang Ming asked in surprise, although the candlelight was not clear, he felt that Xing Cheng was more haggard than in the daytime at this moment, his face was sallow, his eyes were dark blue, and his brows were tired.

"Only I can come." Xing Cheng raised his eyebrows vigorously, "The Seventh Battalion must preserve its strength and cannot challenge Meng Qian, but as long as the son of the Marquis of the Army sends some money, no one will dare to make trouble with me , Meng Qian didn’t know that there were people who helped you to be lazy.”

"But I see why you suddenly haggard so much compared to the day, it doesn't look like you were tired all night."

"That's it", Xing Cheng smiled miserably, "I have to mobilize the Commander's Mansion to deal with some matters, and I have to appease Ah Liang's concern for you, prevent the Helian sister and brother from helping you secretly, and report to Yijing by watching the court's movements , I have to watch out for my brother. I haven’t slept for a few days, let alone you are tired. Every day, Chen Ying uses some rouge and gouache to make me look normal... Chen Ying herself Don't use these things..."

Chang Ming responded silently, but reached out and knocked down all the black beans and red beans in Xing Cheng's palm, and said in a low voice, "Go and rest."

Xing Sheng casually picked up a handful of beans again, continued to classify for him, and did not forget to comfort him: "It's okay, I've already taken care of it, I'll take my leave tomorrow and have a good rest, fortunately I don't need to train recently, I won't be easily exposed. "

"You..." Chang Ming hesitated and worried, and finally asked with only two voices: "I've thought about it for a long time, Yijing must die at that time, and Mr. Gu may not be able to recover... Is it Fu Yuanping?"

"I have my own considerations - the letter was handwritten and then cut word by word, and the framer master repackaged it and sent it. It was all sorted, and a lot of money was given to Gan Biao's person, so that he would know nothing about it. Then arrange someone else to tell Gan Biao that it was just a framed letter, and he will soon know that Wang Shuzhong was wronged."

"Sorry……"

Xing Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then stared blankly at his younger brother.

"It's all because of me...I caused these things and hurt you..."

Xing Cheng smiled softly, and said softly: "Chang Ming, as the commander of the Seventh Battalion, it is wrong to relax vigilance easily. As the commander of the army, it is wrong to abandon an army to save another person because of emotions. Wrong...but there is nothing wrong with liking someone and admiring someone."

Hearing this, Chang Ming felt again the pain of heart convulsions in the prison of Dali Temple.

"After you let me come back, I will be in charge of the Qiying as usual, but I still... can only do superficial work. I was in prison, and Gan Biao came to see me and said that I didn't even know why Jiang Yuan couldn't be in politics, and I was delusional." What Jiangyuan entered the dynasty!' Xingzhu is the most powerful person in the world, and once Jiangyuan is marked, he can't help obeying Xingzhu... The brothers of the Gan family oppose Jiangyuan's ruling because Jiangyuan is easy to be influenced by emotions .”

"Humans are not plants, so how can they be ruthless?" Xing Cheng sighed, "There is a Xingzhu who did something stupid for the sake of Jiang Yuan, whom he admires. So far, he has not been able to explain to Ning Wu and Mr. Gu. What's more, Gan Yi did something for the sake of Jiang Yuan, whom he admired. Get rid of Gu Xiaowu, the Xingzhu who has searched for her many times has returned in vain, and it is nothing but weakness to use Xingzhu to control Jiang Yuan."

"Master Gu's Xingzhu?" Chang Ming never heard Gu Xiaowu mention it, but only knew that she had an adopted daughter, but he abandoned her.

"Yes, at the beginning Su Sheng thought that Gu Xiaowu was extremely talented and wanted to push her into the imperial court. In the end, as a condition for handing over, he wanted to kill someone for Gu Xiaowu, so as to eliminate future troubles forever."

Chang Ming stared at Xing Sheng blankly and in horror, the beans in his hand fell back into the bucket with a crackle, and he realized that his hands were shaking.

"You...you mean..."
