Mu San was laughing all the time, with his head down and up, he was laughing while standing, sitting and walking. From time to time, he would sort out his brand new clothes, smiling from ear to ear. This is a fourth-rank military officer's robe, and every stripe on it makes Mu San feel overwhelmed with joy. After wearing this dress, Mu San felt that he could no longer walk.
I'm afraid that since historical records, there has never been a eunuch wearing the robes of a fourth-rank military officer, let alone an eunuch with ordinary martial arts skills.
According to the current military system of the Black Banner Army, Qianhu of the Xiaoqi School is a fifth-rank military officer, but the salary they receive is higher than that of a lieutenant general. Yi Chong, who had changed into the five-rank Qianhu gown, was also laughing, so it seemed a little funny when the two of them walked together.
Yi Chong was a hundred households when he was in the Ouchi Guards Office, but he was a secret guard, so he was not considered a formal establishment in the Ouchi Guards Office. The status of these dark guards is actually very embarrassing. Although each of them was given a flying fish robe from the day they entered the Ouchi guard's office, they might never have the chance to wear it in their entire lives.
Once they perform some mission that cannot be shown to others, even if they die after some mistakes, the Ouchi Guards Department will not admit that they are members of the Ouchi Guards Department.
His official position in a hundred households is far worse than that of a hundred households in the Ming Dynasty.
Now, he is a veritable thousand households.
Qianhu from the Xiaoqi School is not an outrageously high official position, but he has a lot of authority. You must know that Fang Jie gave Xiaoqi School the responsibility and authority, not only to assist the army in combat, but also to inspect crimes within the administration, and also have the right to openly and secretly investigate whether officials violated laws and disciplines. In terms of authority, it is more than that of the Ouchi Guards Office. After all, the people in the Ouchi Guards Office have never been able to intervene in the affairs of the military. Back then, Luo Weiran and Hou Wenji had made many plans for this matter, and it failed in the end. .
Fang Jie glanced at the two people, and smiled infectedly.
"The two of you are most familiar with the affairs in Chang'an City, so you have to work harder."
Fang Jie turned his head and said to Chen Xiaoru: "All the brothers brought by Yi Chong will be included in the file, and they will be arranged according to the rules. In addition, they have not received money for doing things in Chang'an City in the past few years, and they have to support their families. It is difficult for them .In recent years, the pay has been tripled and must be made up."
"Here."
Chen Xiaoru nodded in response.
"Yi Chong's people are still following him, and you will make up for the lack of manpower. In the future, there will be thirteen thousand households in the Xiaoqi School. Zuo Mingchan will not be able to return from the Eastern Border. Yi Tianze will follow Nalan Dingdong in the army. Among them, Sun Zhuofang also had a lot of things to do in Yunnan Province, Zhou Xiaoer was in Jiangnan, Li Baiyi was in Zhuqueshan camp, Ren Xing, Ren Dao two brothers, one in Chen Dingnan's army and the other in Cui Zhongzhen's army, the seven of them will not be able to return for the time being. "
Fang Jiedao: "After entering Chang'an City, thousands of households in the Xiaoqi School of the Sui Army will assign responsibilities. The Xiaoqi School has a lot to do within a hundred miles of Chang'an City. Chen Xiaoru, call them together and have a good discussion later. one time."
Fang Jie pointed to the one standing on the left: "His name is Heize."
Kurosawa immediately cupped his fists at Yi Chong, and Yi Chong quickly returned the salute.
"And Liao Sheng, you have met."
Fang Jiedao: "Besides you, there are twelve thousand households in Xiaoqi School, each with their own duties. Except for you and Heize, the other few thousand households are now in the army. I will ask Chen Xiaoru to introduce you later. You When I first came here, I didn’t know the importance of the Xiaoqi School, and I didn’t know why the Xiaoqi School was established, you need someone to tell you these things and you have to keep them in mind.”
"Here!"
Yi Chong stood up straight and answered.
While talking, someone from outside asked to come in, Fang Jie let the people in from outside, it was several other thousands of households. The one who walked in the front immediately made Yi Chong's eyes widen. He knew this person, but it was because of his acquaintance that he never thought that he would meet him again here, and he was already a Qianhu of Xiaoqi School.
It was Marilyn who came in first.
She was dressed in a well-tailored Xiaoqi school brocade jacket and a bright red cape, making her look heroic.
As a dark bodyguard, Yi Chong naturally knew something about those favored ones in the Martial Arts Academy back then. This Ma Lilian's father was General Yunhui of the garrison of Chang'an City. He was well-known in the army and was a vanguard. She died in battle during the rebellion of Yi Wang Yang Yin. Later, she went to the northwest with Yang Yi, Emperor Tianyou of the Sui Dynasty, and then returned to Chang'an City, where she was accepted as a righteous daughter by the university scholar Niu Huilun. When Niu Huilun and the others left the city, Yi Chong knew about it, and he arranged it, so he was surprised.
What he didn't know was that Ma Lilian joined the Xiaoqi School after she arrived at Zhuqueshan camp, and was promoted to a thousand households due to her accumulated merits. She was not taken care of at all. This is an extremely strong woman. When leading troops in the Northwest, she would rather die than retreat. You can see her temperament.
There are two people behind Ma Lilian, one of them is about fifty years old, and the wrinkles on his face are already deep, as if carved with an ax chisel. It can be seen that this person must have experienced many unusual things. He has two names, representing his two identities. One is Bai Xi, whose identity is Xiaoqi School Qianhu. The other is Daoist Bai Niao, because he used to be a Taoist in Qingle Mountain, and after he followed Xiang Qingniu to Fang Jiejun, he felt that he liked this kind of military life more, so he begged Xiang Qingniu, took off his Taoist robe, Put on military uniform.
The last one to walk in was a young man with very delicate features. Yi Chong took a closer look, but found that he couldn't tell his age at all. You can say that he is twenty or forty years old. This is a very contradictory thing, but it is so natural on his face. Whether you say he is twenty or forty years old, he will not Someone countered.
He has a nickname called Thousand Hand Demon, and his real name is Lan Qianshou.
In fact, his full name is the Demon with Thousand Faces and Thousand Hands.

…
Chen Xiaoru said to Yi Chong while walking: "Our Xiaoqi School is a very special place. You and I both came from the Ouchi Guard Office, so it is easier for you to understand. Why was the Ouchi Guard Office established? Because the emperor of the Sui Dynasty needed it. The people in the internal guards office are only responsible to the emperor, and no yamen has the right to intervene. There is no difference between the Xiaoqi School and the Ouchi Guards Office. The Xiaoqi School was established for the lord, and we will do whatever the lord asks us to do."
"We must do what the lord can clearly order. We must do what the lord clearly cannot order but must do. No matter what the people of the Xiao Riding School do, there is only one premise... for the lord. And Ouchi guards The difference is that our most important task now is to assist the army in doing things."
"The subordinate understands."
Yi Chong nodded.
Chen Xiaoru smiled and said: "At the beginning, there were three people who came out from the bodyguard with me to follow the lord. Now I am in charge of the Xiao Riding School, and there is one named Nie Xiaoju who leads the Jingbuying. The other is Yan Kuang, also work in the military."
"There is one more thing you have to remember."
Chen Xiaoru pointed to his own nose: "I am the commander of the Xiaoqi School, but there are two people who can tear me away from my position at any time, needless to say, my lord... the other is a very remarkable woman, if she returns to the Xiaoqi School, I will She must get out of the way immediately. Remember, her name is Mu Xiaoyao, and she is also our mistress."
Yi Chong remembered the name in his heart.
"Dutong, I heard that there are many capable people in Xiaoqi School, not all of them are practitioners."
"Um."
Chen Xiaoru looked at Heisawa in the distance: "I can't tell you what he is capable of, but you have to remember that as long as he wants to, killing you is not difficult. In the same room, even if he tells you that he wants to Killing you, you still can't dodge. His cultivation base is not very high, but if you underestimate him, you are an idiot."
"His name is White Bird."
Chen Xiaoru looked at Qianhu Bainiao, who was born in Yiqi Temple again: "He may not even rank in the top 20 in Yiqi Temple, but he is hated so much that his teeth are itchy in Yiqi Temple, but no one can put him down. How is he? You will see him next to the lord in the future, he is the only one among the 13,000 households of the Xiaoqi school who is by the lord's side almost all the time. As for what he can do, I still can't tell you."
"A Demon with Thousand Faces and Thousand Hands."
Chen Xiaoru said: "I can tell you what skills he has, because he relies on cultivation rather than talent. If he is called Lan Qianshou, you may not have heard of him, but if you have never heard of me I plan to ask you to clean the stables first."
"I heard."
Yi Chong nodded: "There is a legend in Jianghu that the Demon with Thousand Faces and Thousand Hands walks in front of you and slaps you in the face. You chase after him, turn around an alley and he walks past you again. You will never recognize him again." Him. His Yi Chong is fast and powerful, so he is called Qianmian. As for Qianshou, it means that his method of receiving and sending hidden weapons is like giving birth to a thousand hands."
"Do you know his origin?"
Chen Xiaoru asked.
"have no idea."
Yi Chong shook his head.
"Before you came, only two of the thousands of households in the Xiaoqi School were from Chang'an. One was Ma Lilian, whom you knew very well. The other was Lan Qianshou... He was from the Academy of Martial Arts, Professor Yanqing's most proud disciple. There are two students of the Yanwu Academy in the master's period, and now there are two people who work with the master. One is Xie Fuyao, who has become a professor of the Yanwu Academy. A student living here, that’s because he can show up with a new face every day.”
Yi Chong was taken aback, only to realize that he was the most common one among thousands of households in Xiaoqi School.
"Xiao Riding School is a very magical place."
Chen Xiaoru took a deep breath, and when he said this, his eyes were full of pride: "When I was at the guards' office, I was extremely proud, because wearing a flying fish robe in Chang'an City is indeed worthy of pride. But that It's a kind of fake power...a kind of deformed power. But Xiaoqi School is not. In the future, the pen and ink left by Xiaoqi School in the history books will definitely be much heavier than that of Ouchi Guards. Moreover, its reputation is much better than that of Ouchi Guards. a lot of."
"Your wife is also a member of Ouchi's bodyguard office, come in and be a hundred households first."
Chen Xiaoru said.
Yi Chong was silent for a while, then shook his head: "Let's forget it, let her be a woman who stays at home and waits for the man to come back, it's good."
Chen Xiaoru was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "That's right, that's pretty good."

Chang'an City Government Office
Liao Sheng glanced at the crowds of people standing in the yard, these people were all the government officials from Chang'an Mansion, people from the Ministry of Punishment, and people from Dali Temple. These people have different yamen affiliations, but some responsibilities are the same. Everyone's face was a little disturbed, because they didn't know what would happen when they were found.
That Lord Qianhu in brocade clothes doesn't seem to be a good person.
"You may not know what Xiaoqi school is."
Liao Sheng cleared his throat and said: "Before I came, the Duke of the State told me what the Xiaoqi School should do after entering Chang'an City. The Lord said that the Xiaoqi School must do nothing, know nothing, and care about nothing. Do you know these eight What does the word mean? If you know, you can go back now and tell your disciples who are helping you, and start to release the news from tomorrow. If the Lord of the Kingdom of Houtian enters the city, if I see anyone who does not understand the rules, I will first Let's start with you people. The Duke doesn't care about replacing you people, and I don't mind holding a few more lives in my hands. Anyway, I have already held enough. If I go to hell, I can't escape the same punishment. , so... you all remember, whether it is Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, or Chang'an Mansion, I don't care how you know about any troubles in the city, but if you know that my Xiaoqi School doesn't know... think about the consequences for yourself .”
"It's too overbearing!"
A Ti Xing from the Ministry of Punishment stood up and said: "Even when the Ouchi guards were here, they were not so overbearing! Each yamen performs its own duties. Is it possible that you are the only one doing things in the city in the future?!"
"No."
Liao Sheng sneered and shook his head: "In the future, the yamen in the city will definitely perform their duties, but not now. Now you just need to remember one thing... The Duke of the Kingdom promised me the right to the Xiao Riding School, which is so big that you can't even think about it." I can’t think of it. Say it again, everyone is a falconer, so don’t play with those tricks of letting rabbits. Tomorrow, I will see the rogues on the underworld in Chang’an City. I will kill one and poke the other. I can only bear with it. ! During the days when the Duke entered the city, you all had to listen to a yamen called Xiaoqi School!"
