Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Because Mu Ci had already moved into the Chu Palace, Mou Yufei quickly improved the defense system, and also selected and settled the servants.

An Yuan also participated in the selection, because he answered the question: "As a gate guard, the King of Chu forgot to bring the pass token, do you want to let him in?" An Yuan replied: "Seeing the token to enter is a rule, and His Highness must abide by it. "

To be honest, he originally thought he was out of action, but he was unwilling to tell him to lie against his principles.

Unexpectedly, An Qing brought a letter of appointment to inform An Yuan: "Brother, Your Highness hired you as the guard officer and commander, and has a guard team of 300 people under his command. Here is your letter of appointment, as well as your outfit. .”

An Yuan looked at the armor uniform of the guards of the King of Chu. It was slightly different from other clothes. It was tight-fitting and very crisp. The white brocade uniform with tiger embroidered pictures was not gorgeous. protective ability.

Put on the underwear and tie the belt, straight and stylish, heroic and mighty.

There are also shoulder pads on the shoulders, inlaid with three silver moons.An Qing explained, three silver moons, this is the rank mark of the commander.

Before, there was only a waist badge difference, and there was no obvious shoulder badge logo. It can be seen that it was a new creation by the King of Chu, but An Yuan didn't ask.

An Qing took out another pair of boots and smiled mysteriously: "The boots are specially made by the princess."

When An Yuan put it on, he realized that the inside of the boot on his left foot was a little higher, making it almost impossible to see a limp when he walked.An Yuan was not good at words, so he just nodded to An Qing and showed a satisfied smile.

An Qing knew what he meant and would bring his thanks to the princess.

……

An Yuan took office on the same day. As a military officer with a certain position, An Yuan had to meet the King of Chu to thank him and listen to his orders.As soon as he approached the Chu Palace, An Yuan was startled by the towering walls and arrow towers.

An Qing pointed at the city wall, and said carelessly to An Yuan: "This wall is powerful, ask me to lead someone to attack, there are no twenty thousand elites who are not afraid of death, and they will definitely not be able to take it down."

An Yuan glanced at him sideways.Although it was a compliment, it was the first time he heard a subordinate who dared to lead [-] elite soldiers to attack his master's wall in his master's place.

An Qing smiled, didn't take it seriously, let An Yuan in, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, after seeing His Highness, I just tell the truth, and he doesn't blame me if I say something bad. I won't go in, it's rare to have a day off, I won't waste it on you rough old man. See you later!"

An Yuan: "..."

An Qing was still the same, with an open mouth... But from the side view, King Chu is a lenient master, otherwise how could that guy be so comfortable?

An Yuan shook his head, took out the letter of appointment, and someone led him to see the King of Chu.

……

Mou Yu will find out the details of everyone around Mu Ci, and if necessary, will put all the information found on Mu Ci's desk for him to look up.

So Mu Ci knew An Yuan better.

Anyuan is one of Chaoyang's original "Four Ans", each of which has its own characteristics.

An Hua is the leader of the four. He is a "simple-faced and unruly person". He looks honest and honest, but he has a ghost in his stomach. He is purely black-bellied and has a perfect understanding with Chaoyang.

Anqing is a "big-mouthed cannon". He runs the train with a mouth full of dirty words, and will kill people if he speaks.Now that he is older, he has changed a little bit, at least he dare not utter dirty words in front of Mu Ci.Of course, An Qing has two good points, one is not to talk about people behind his back, and the other is not to talk about secrets, otherwise he would not be able to get his current status.

An Yuan is a "straight person", he can say what he wants, and he is very stubborn, with a rather straight personality than crooked.

Mu Ci just likes Anyuan's uprightness, but he doesn't know if years of training have bent his back?

That's why Mu Ci wanted to meet in person.

……

It was said before that Daxing is not popular to kneel down, but it is more equal in status.And An Yuan is a commoner, or a humble military background.See King Chu must kneel, and it must be the most formal three kneeling and nine kowtows among the three worships.

But Mu Ci doesn't care about etiquette and doesn't like people kneeling.

However, Daxing's class distinction is very strict, which always gives Mou Yu a headache... The king of Chu doesn't pay attention to etiquette, and he has been nagged many times by the censor, which is very annoying.

An Yuan's disability is not serious, and it is not difficult to kneel down, but as soon as he bent his knees, he heard a human voice: "With the armor on, there is no need for a full salute."

The voice was as clear and moist as a stream, although young but not immature, it was calm and melodious, revealing a kind of calmness that had gone through vicissitudes.An Yuan knew that this must be the King of Chu.He is a soldier, and he regards obedience as his bounden duty, so he straightened his knees, tapped his right fist on his chest, and bowed his head in a military salute to show his loyalty.

Mu Ci said: "That's right, you are a soldier, you can bow down, you don't need to kneel down. Sit down!"

An Yuan is a very "real" person. He lives at the bottom of the society. Seeing the cruelty of the world, he immediately discerns that the king of Chu did not act like a corporal of courteous corporals just to subdue people's hearts.

An Yuan didn't refuse, and sat down as told, still with his head down, he could only see the white cotton boots on his two little feet, maybe he thought it was too simple, so he added a circle of white fur to make it look cute and delicate.

"Look up and watch me speak." Mu Ci said.

An Yuan didn't dare to raise his head no matter what.

A man next to the King of Chu spoke in a thick, deep, magnetic and pleasant male voice, and said a little helplessly, "Brother, don't be hard on others, there is no rule for ordinary people to look directly at the king and the king!"

In order to maintain the majesty of the royal family, the common people are not allowed to look directly at the king, and those who violate it will be beheaded and exiled.

An Yuan has never dared to raise his head, but he knows that there is only one person in this world who calls the King of Chu Adi, the former commander of the Imperial Forest Army, the legendary commander of the Night Walking Guard, the world's number one master, the omnipotent general, the only adopted son of the late emperor , the current first-class protector of the country, Mou Yu.

The most loyal subordinate of the King of Chu, although he has been proclaimed as the Duke of the State, he is willing to give up the opportunity for a man to travel all over the world and make contributions, and is at ease by the King of Chu's side, following and assisting him.

His loyalty has been praised by all parties. Although some people are not worth it for him, An Yuan admires this loyal man.

"He is his own person. I see my own people. I am not the one to set the rules. Instead, other rules are in charge of me? Are there any such rules?" King Chu asked willfully.

"Brother..." Mou Yu was really helpless.

Mu Ci's tone was still flat, and she couldn't hear a trace of complaints, but she complained: "When talking to people, why do you have to look at the top of their heads to be considered honorable? Or am I shameful?"

Mou Yu: "..."

Mu Ci wasn't just messing around: "Besides, without looking at the eyes, how can I tell whether the other party is telling the truth or lying?"

Speaking of this, An Yuan could only raise his head and chest, and looked straight at the King of Chu.

Just looking at King Chu, An Yuan was completely stunned.

The king of Chu was young, he looked less than sixteen, with a small face that was delicate and elegant, with elegant eyebrows, and the corners of his eyes slanted, his eyes were like ink, and there were stars in them.

Even if he doesn't smile, those gorgeous eyebrows seem to be born with a three-point charm, which should be lovable, but his eyes are calm at will, full of wisdom and profound, calm and elegant, not angry but powerful, making people unable to understand contemptuous, profane him.

He is thin and slender, with a pale complexion, and looks more beautiful and fragile than crystal, but in fact, he has the most powerful and hardest soul in the world.He is a diamond, radiating gorgeous luster from his bones.

An Yuan no longer doubts at this moment—the king of Chu is the descendant of the stars.Such a person should be found in the sky, but it is rare in the world.

He added an inexplicable awe to the King of Chu, but forced himself not to bow his head, and looked directly at the King of Chu.No matter how the king of Chu could tell the truth of what he said, he didn't have to feel guilty.

Mu Ci said: "I'm also not used to calling myself a 'little person', just call myself 'I'." Then he was calm and gentle, chatting and asking An Yuan many questions, such as when will he retire?What do you do for a living after you retire?How is your day?Do you have any plans to get married and have children?

An Yuan answered one by one, succinct but true - he had no plans to marry a wife and have children.Why?I'm poor and lame, and I don't want to be a drag.

Mu Ci said: "I hired you to be the commander of the gate guard and guard the main gate because you are upright, tough and principled, and because Chaoyang and Anqing recommended you. If I trust them, I trust you too. I won't hide it from you. , Actually, I know everything about your resume."

An Yuan knew more about the inside story than the general imperial guards, and knew the night guard's ability.He is not angry at this kind of investigation. If he is a superior, he must first find out the details of his subordinates. In particular, the gate guard controls the entire palace gate and is responsible for all visitors and screening out suspicious people. He must be the first trustworthy person.

Mu Ci's confession surprised Anyuan a little.

Mu Ci continued: "I saw in your resume that you were in the forward battalion of the Dragoon Army. You disobeyed orders, contradicted the superior, fled before the battle, abandoned your comrades, and delayed the military plane... These crimes can make you punished by military law several times. You Is there an explanation?"

An Yuan's eyelids twitched, but he remained silent.

"The Dragon Cavalry Army is now under my control. Before the palace change, most of the rebels came from the Dragon Cavalry Army. Now it is being reorganized, so I am asking this question."

An Yuan remained silent.

"If you don't feel wronged, it's fine if you don't say it. Since I said to use you, I won't break my promise. It's just that if you feel wronged, if you still keep silent and protect others, it's not worth it for you."

Anyuan's lips moved, but he didn't speak.

Mu Ci sighed, and waved his hand: "I also said that you are an upright person, and it seems that you have been smoothed by life, so go down." The tone was obviously a little casual.

An Yuan knew that if he left like this today, he would not be able to get into the eyes of King Chu.

——This is his only chance to change his destiny.

Deep down in Anyuan's heart, he had never surrendered to fate, so he didn't leave, his back straightened like a steel plate, and his lips moved a few times before he said with difficulty: "I just think it's useless to say it, instead... call Your Highness... worry……"

More precisely, he was afraid that the king of Chu would make a hole in the sky.

"Oh, if you don't talk about it and listen, you will know it's useless?"

"Because... this is... the long-standing shortcomings of the entire Forbidden Army system, I..." An Yuan felt uneasy, looked around, didn't see any acquaintances, and didn't know what to say next.

In the past, he was too straightforward, and the other three "An"s would give him some advice.

Mu Ci said calmly: "Don't look, Chaoyang and Anqing both want to listen in, even Anhua is worried, and boldly said that they want to come and take a look, but I didn't let me, I just want to listen to you, a 'straight' People tell the truth."

An Yuan is straight-tempered, he refuses to speak and do things against his conscience, and he is not out of his mind. Looking at this situation, you can tell that the King of Chu came prepared.

It seems that Ye Xingwei probably figured out what happened to him earlier.The king of Chu summoned him alone today because he wanted to use him as a breakthrough and make a big move.

Could it be... the king of Chu really intends to get rid of the evils and clean up the military style?

No, it's not possible.

There are many evils in the army, withholding of military pay, false reporting of numbers, reselling military rations and even weapons... many unspoken rules constitute the entire chain of interests of the officer system.The emperors of all dynasties are not ignorant, but no one has ever shaken it, even the prosperous and peaceful Emperor Yonghe did not succeed.Emperor Tianshou was tough, but he relied on the army to consolidate the imperial power, and he didn't dare to do serious rectification - he was afraid that the generals who supported him would oppose him.

Unspoken rules are too difficult and too dangerous.

Smart people don't touch so casually, so An Yuan doesn't think this is the goal of King Chu.

An Yuan's biggest conjecture is that he thinks that King Chu's new position as the commander of the six armies is false, and he wants to use his mouth to find out a few people, take some heads, and kill chickens to make an example to monkeys.

An Yuan thought he had guessed right, and felt that it was okay to be used. Anyway, he had nothing to lose with his appearance.Besides, he heard that the King of Chu was protecting his weaknesses, so he probably wouldn't harm him.

Anyuan also had a lot of things in his heart, thinking that one day he would tell the truth, so that he would have a good time... He suddenly realized that the King of Chu had a deep understanding of people's hearts, and he knew he would tell the truth.

There is a legend that the king of Chu played tricks out of the blue and was upright. He swung his chariots and horses with a straight hook, which was better than Jiang Taigong's fishing, and people had to bite the hook.

An Yuan poured beans out of a bamboo tube, and said everything.
