Tyrant's "stand-in" shadow guard

Although he agreed to the emperor, Ying Qi didn't have any thoughts in his heart, Ying Yi Ying Liu had already analyzed it with him very clearly that day, His Majesty made a wise decision, there must be deep meaning in making this arrangement.

And his job is to keep quiet and cooperate.

Therefore, when the quasi-prompt quasi-wei tried to find out whether the rumors were true or false, Ying Qi would not reply at all.

The new batch of quasi-guards in the Zhunti Palace are not almost all from poor families like them, but a considerable part of them come from various aristocratic families in the capital. This is the result of the struggle between the imperial power and the aristocratic families. It has to be said that it is a kind of irony to mix in the children of the world who are doing their own thing.

As a result, there were two factions in Zhunti Palace, one from the humble family and one from the aristocratic family.

The two factions are hostile to each other and have been at odds for a long time.

It stands to reason that poor families should not be so ostentatious when dealing with powerful families, but firstly, since the establishment of the imperial examination system, the noble families have begun to decline; The children of the aristocratic family who were sent by the family in every possible way to win glory for the family have actually become pawns in the struggle for power.

Yingqi is smart, and he has already figured out the key points without being asked. As he stands on the imperial power, he naturally has to draw a line with the quasi-guards who are descendants of these aristocratic families.

In addition, he doesn't like the stereotypes of strangers, and when someone prys into his privacy, he just leans against the willow tree and doesn't say a word.

The rather handsome and graceful Zhunwei was holding a long sword in his hand. When he saw Ying Qi standing with his arms folded, he didn't even look at him. His expression was quite haughty. He couldn't help holding his breath, and forced a smile and said, "Yes." I was careless, Qiwei's throat is hurt, he should talk less."

He didn't dare to do anything about shadow seven, although shadow guards and quasi-guards didn't have superiors and subordinates, the so-called help training of the inner court six guards was also a name for learning from each other. After all, it was the duty of the commander to elect the post of shadow guard. Neither the court nor the foreign court guards have the right to interfere.However, due to the convenience of the position of the inner court guard, it happened from time to time that I met a quasi-guard who performed well during training, and privately recommended him to the commander of the shadow guard.

Once the recommended guard is noticed by the commander, it is very likely that he will not have to train hard in Zhunti Palace for three years before being promoted to a shadow guard, but can be promoted to a shadow guard after directly passing the commander's assessment.Such a good seedling is also very valued after becoming a shadow guard. Maybe he can reach the sky in one step without having to work hard in the outer hall, serve the third hall, and become one of the hundred and eight shadows. One step closer, there are not no six guards in the inner court possible.

This quasi-guard hit the idea.

His father and brother worked in the Ministry of Punishments, and there were many conflicts in work with the Criminal Division, the power center of the Outer Court Guards. Because the Criminal Division was directly under the imperial power and flourished, the Ministry of Criminal Justice had existed in name only these years.He was ordered by his father and brother to participate in the election of the Zhunwei, so that he could enter the criminal justice department as a matter of course after retiring from the palace, so as to win glory for the family and restore the family's decline in power.

Although his father and brother did not tell him clearly, Zhunwei knew in his heart that since his father and brother were sure that he would be able to enter the Criminal Division after he retired from the palace, he must have paid the price, perhaps he had betrayed the family and secretly stood for the emperor.

Thinking of this, Zhunwei was not very disappointed, and even harbored a trace of indescribable thoughts. He became famous at a young age, but his reputation was not obvious because of Song Qi in the general's mansion. Should the emperor on the throne be able to see others in his eyes?

It's just that the nameless Yingqi in front of him, how can he reach the sky in one step?

Zhunwei was unwilling.

"However, I have come here. I heard that the seven guards are very good at martial arts, and His Majesty appreciates them quite a lot. If the martial arts are mediocre, please ask the seven guards to give me some advice?"

The surrounding guards have been scrutinizing each other since the beginning of seven years. Like this self-proclaimed Zhun Wei, they have gone through various experiences before being selected as the guards. Each of them has their own abilities and pride. Ying Qi, who "sold her status", felt contempt and hatred in her heart.

At this time, when he heard that the Zhunwei named Yang Zhun had something to say, there was a chuckle, and some Zhunwei who came from poor families were no exception.

There is never a shortage of open secrets in the palace. The emperor's own words about seeing Yingqi's appearance have been spread inside and outside the palace. Naturally, Yang Zhun's words about His Majesty's appreciation of Yingqi's martial arts are just a cover, implying that no one can hear it ?

This is the first time for everyone to see Ying Qi. Seeing that his appearance is plain, his face has hidden scars, but his demeanor has a kind of coldness and elegance that does not match his identity. They all know that the emperor is only interested in the body that looks like the third prince of Nanchu. Also, that should have intentionally imitated the other party's temperament, and I'm afraid it has nothing to do with Ying Qi's salt-free appearance.

"Seven Guards, Yang Zhunwei is the best in martial arts among us. His swordsmanship is arrogant and his sword energy is overbearing. I'm afraid even he can't control himself. Please forgive me if I offend you!"

"If Qiwei is worried about the wound on his face, why don't you compete with me. Although I am not talented, I can compete with Qiwei for several hours!"

"Hahaha Zhang Hu, don't brag, the guy who can't even pass the martial arts school exam!

……

Shadow Four glanced at Shadow Seven.

Ying Qi raised his eyes, his black eyes were dark.

If Li Xingjin was present, he would know that the young shadow guard was on fire.

This guy has few inverse scales, and martial arts is one of them. If someone says something bad, he can beat him until his parents don't even know him.

Sure enough, Ying Qi threw away the scabbard, kicked the tree stump, stood up straight with strength, and said, "Come."

Ying Si who had just walked over also felt it, glanced at Ying Qi hidden under the shade of the tree, did not stop the domineering and ignorant actions of the quasi-guards, folded his arms and retreated to the side, his face was paralyzed and his face was expressionless, and said: "If you fight Go to the Southeast Martial Arts Field," seeing a pair of eyes looking at him in unison, he explained, "The place is big."

This explanation was barely a reason, and everyone agreed, so they moved to the southeast training ground.

Only Yang Zhun looked at Ying Qi's back, and felt a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

Soon he shook his head, he didn't believe that Ying Qi was really powerful in martial arts, if that was the case, why couldn't he get any news about the other party these days in Zhun Ti Palace?

As for the opponent's victory over Shadow Eight and Nine Shadows, the Shadow Guards and their quasi-guards were completely different, and they were not eligible to watch the commander's school exam against the Shadow Guards. How could they know that the Shadow Guards did something to please the emperor?

Holding the sword, Yang Chun was full of smiles, he was still somewhat confident in his own strength, and thought that he had never met any opponent except Song Qi, whom he secretly hated.

Ying Qi walked last, pulled out the scabbard and put it on again, not worried about winning or not.

He was able to come here today, it can be said that he was kicked out by the emperor. Today the mighty general visited him. The emperor discussed state affairs with him in the Hall of Taichu. Because of his inexperience, he was not allowed to enter the hall. He could only stay outside the hall, but the emperor did not Yun, sent someone to ask him to leave, only saying that he didn't want to see him standing outside the hall like a log, and he was not allowed to return to Yulin Hall.

Ying Qi stared at the hundreds of steps in the Hall of Absolute Beginning and counted three times. After seeing Ying Yi who was on duty was ordered to drive him away, he looked at him quietly.

Ying Yi paused, then lightly tugged at the back of his neck and walked aside, saying in a low voice: "Your Majesty wants you to leave, and you are obedient." Ying looked at Ying Qi, and saw that his pure and clean black eyes could not hide any emotion. He stopped, couldn't help sighing, and explained, "The mighty general doesn't like the third prince. His Majesty deliberately mentioned you in front of the other party and 'petted' you to play. ?”

Holding the sword in his arms, Ying Qi tilted his head, remembering who the mighty general is.

That person is the main force under the general who strongly opposes the marriage between Southern Chu and the Southern Chu. With regard to returning to the country, he was already dissatisfied with the always loyal emperor.

What His Majesty did today, just as what Ying Yi said, Xu used retreat as an advance to appease the mighty general.

"I figured it out, hurry up and go, go wherever you want, but don't leave the palace." Ying waved him away and said seriously.

If Ying Liu was here, he would probably be screaming with jealousy. With the identity of the major general's substitute, as long as Ying Qi doesn't make any big mistakes, he doesn't need to worry about his future in the future.

But is it that easy to be a stand-in?

Ying Yi stared at the high palace wall, silent.

Ying Qimu left the Hall of Absolute Beginning with a grimace, and subconsciously walked to Zhunti Palace because he didn't know where to go.

I didn't expect to encounter the training of Zhunwei, and Yingsi was also there.

He was also challenged with a sword.

Ying Si, who was walking side by side with him, sensed the cold aura of the people around him, and walked away silently holding his sword.

He had seen Ying Qi compete with Ying Yi and Ying Six when their injuries were still not healed, even Ying Yi, the most martial artist among them, could barely reach a tie.

Now this guy's injuries are recovering from his injuries, I'm afraid he would be even more desperate if he got into a fight.

On the southeast martial arts training ground, Ying Qi's scabbard opened the sword Yang Chun pointed at, looked around the audience, and said coldly: "Let's go together."

Although the emperor told him to come out to "play", he is still on duty after all. After the mighty general leaves, he still wants to go back. Ying Qi glanced at the sundial again, seeing that the shadow of a needle was about to point to the center, he became a little impatient with the person who provoked him .

"you--!"

Yang Chun couldn't help but let out a low cry, the smile finally disappeared on his face, and he shouted: "Arrogance!"

After all, take the lead.

Ying Qi felt a little regretful in his heart, but it was not a serious problem. After solving this problem, there would always be a chance for the following ones.

Hall of Absolute Beginning.

Li Xingjin sat at the head, pointed his finger on the notebook, thought for a moment and said: "Let's put aside the border salt shipment, you have a look at this." After saying that, he threw another memorial.

The tall and bearded mighty general with sharp eyes glanced at the memorial quickly, cupped his hands, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "The king of Xiling has made great contributions in resisting the bandits, and the Southwest has been pacified for several years. His contribution is not inferior to that of the general. Please return to the court to settle the elderly mother." With weak wives and daughters, His Majesty would not agree with you, just wait and see what happens."

Hundred Zhou ruled the world with filial piety, and the king of Xiling found a good reason that Li Xingjin could not refuse.

"But he is the empress dowager's concubine." Li Xingjin looked down at the mighty general with deep eyes, "What does Gu Qing think? Do you really think that the empress dowager and the king of Xiling, plus you, the mighty general, can threaten me?!"

"I dare not!"

"Why don't you dare? Aiqing's grievances are known all over the country!"

The mighty general quickly knelt down and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, he is the third prince of Nanchu. Without him, the general would not die!"

"I have a hundred thousand cavalry, and I have always been your Majesty's personal army. If the general dies in battle, I will have no reason to complain!"

In other words, if Li Xingjin insisted on marrying Nanchu, once the emperor's personal army said it, it would be discounted.

This is the naked threat.

"Crack!" With a sound, the sound of the cup falling made Eunuch Li, who was waiting in the outer hall, tremble violently. He hurriedly called a servant to come over, and said in his ear, "Go, find some smart people to clean up the broken things in the hall." , Don’t tell His Majesty to hurt his foot.”

The servant's face was full of fear, knowing that Eunuch Li didn't want to go in and hurt His Majesty and the mighty general, he didn't dare to resist, so he responded in a low voice, and led the people into the hall through the side door quietly.

After a while, Eunuch Li heard angry curses coming from inside, and the waiters who had just entered rolled out with bloody hands holding the broken pieces of porcelain.

Eunuch Li listened intently to the movement in the hall, and he heard no more angry shouts. He breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the pained servant, and said softly: "Hmph, it's still useful, go down and clean the claws, and go to the manager to receive the reward later." Bar."

The servant didn't expect that there was such a good thing waiting for him in the future, and suddenly turned from sadness to joy, and left with a thousand thanks to Eunuch Li.

Li Xingjin's anger was dissipated by a few short-sighted servants, and he calmed down, but he disdained the mighty general's previous fallacies, and said coldly: "No one else knows, your mighty general was on the battlefield at that time, can't you see clearly?" He lowered his voice Voice, "What is the death of the general, you know better than anyone else!"

Everyone said that when the general learned that his adopted son was the orphan of the enemy's royal family, he decisively ordered his subordinates to capture the enemy's son on the spot, put him in prison, and put his cronies in charge, in order to contain the enemy.

But only those who are familiar with the general's personality know that it is just the best protection for Song Qi in the chaos of war.

As for later, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, the general personally wounded the enemy, but was wounded by the enemy general and died of serious injuries accidentally. Everyone thought that he was tired by Song Qi's incident and had to fight the enemy with wounds, so he died in battle .

Only insiders know that this is nonsense.

Because the general died in the hands of his own people!

At that time, Song Qi escaped from the custody of his cronies and vowed to kill the general of Southern Chu, but was plotted against by Bai Zhou's soldiers. The general was protecting his son, so he was mistakenly killed by his loyal subordinates!

"Thousands of arrows pierce the heart," Li Xingjin said every word, piercing straight into the cold and hard heart of the mighty general, and it hurt him unbearably. It is tens of thousands of iron arrows!"

"Your general, you killed yourself."

At the same time, in the training ground of Zhunti Palace, Ying Qi's eyes suddenly hurt when he slashed Zhunwei's face with a sword!

Blood, blood mist all over the sky, the fresh blood that still remained warm on the face.

A pair of bloody faces with blood and tears in the eyes appeared in my mind, that was——!
