There is a charcoal fire in the hall, which burns the house very hot.
Chen Yang had been kneeling for half an hour, Xiao Chiye sat on the main seat and read the military book. Outside the curtain, there were generals of the Imperial Army kneeling, and it was quiet inside and out.
The so-called "general power has not been carried out, then first vibrate it with power[1]". Five years ago, when Xiao Chiye took over the banned army, he gave him a slap in the face, and what he wanted was the absolute power to command the heroes. In the past five years, he has been clearly rewarded and punished, and the amount of money that he should have given to the Imperial Army is not small, and not only is not small, but also makes up a lot. He is generous to the people below, but his own cloak was given by his sister-in-law three years ago.
Autumn hunting made the imperial guard proud, and the limelight overshadowed the eight camps, and the scenery was infinite for a while. These soldiers who have been in the camp for a long time, used to pretend to be grandsons in front of the Eighth Camp, but now they dare to go out and shout at the Eighth Camp.
This is not a good sign, you will get carried away if you are complacent.
Xiao Chiye needed an opportunity to beat the Imperial Army, and today's Tantai Tiger was the opportunity.
Chen Yang didn't dare to look up, Xiao Chiye knocked on the table, he immediately got up, and added tea to Xiao Chiye. As soon as the tea was full, the man knelt down again.
Xiao Chiye didn't speak all night, and Chen Yang knelt on the ground all night.
Not saying a lot of words, on the contrary, makes people feel more guilty than saying it.
The next day, Xiao Chiye had to go to the morning. After getting dressed, he said to Chen Yang, "You don't have to follow today, just rest."
Chen Yang knelt down with his legs numb, kowtowed on the ground, and said in a harsh voice, "Master..."
He has always called Xiao Chiye the governor, and this is really emotional.
Xiao Chiye really stopped, but did not look back.
Chen Yang kowtowed again and said, "I beg the Lord to punish me."
Xiao Chiye raised his hand and motioned for the servants to go out. When there was no one else in the hall, he turned to his side and looked at Chen Yang: "If people have no faults, how can they be punished."
"This subordinate knows it's wrong." Chen Yang said with sweat dripping from his forehead.
Xiao Chiye was silent for a while, and said, "In recent years, Zhaohui has been fighting on the frontiers with eldest brother. Seeing that his military rank is getting higher and higher, within five years, it should be sealed by the government. You are all good sons selected by the father. , how come he Zhaohui has such an honor, but you Chenyang still have to wait to die with a bastard."
Chen Yang's lips turned white, and he said: "How dare you think like this? The prince is good, but the master is my top pillar! Zhaohui and I are brothers of the family, everyone is prosperous, and we all suffer. damage."
"It's best for you to understand the truth." Xiao Chiye said, "Brothers fight against each other in the same room, it's all rotten to the root, you don't need outsiders to touch, you'll die first. You stay with me in Qidu, and Zhaohui is all around the house. Look after him. His sister is married to a foreigner, a member of the Ministry of Rites, who is also your maiden's waist during the festivals. If you want to make achievements, you must be morally competitive, but morally, you have to admit that you are a good man with blood and courage. You are afraid to compare with him. What, what are you worried about? Zhaohui couldn't do what happened yesterday, because he wanted to take care of the big brother's face. You have become the leader of the imperial guards, and you still have to rely on that little thing to convince people. For that joy, even your master's His face can also be stepped on under his feet. Tantai Hu was born in Zhongbo, you know, you still changed him to yesterday's job just to make him feel bad. Do you have to play like this to win people's hearts? In order to make this moment happy, you will not hesitate to defeat the majesty of your master."
Chen Yang was filled with remorse, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Master—"
"You're sorry for yourself." Xiao Chiye said suddenly in a nonchalant voice, "I want to understand and come on duty again, and let Gujin follow me these few days."
Chen Yang knelt down in a daze, looking up at Xiao Chiye, picking up the curtain and exiting the door.

Shen Zechuan finally slept last night, now standing beside the carriage, breathing the heat, watching Haidongqing hovering in the snowy sky.
Xiao Chiye went out and got on the carriage, Gu Jin took the whip and looked at Shen Zechuan.
Shen Zechuan didn't look at him. Seeing that the curtain was half open, Xiao Chiye winked at him.
Shen Zechuan was on his back immediately, and the forbidden army who had been frozen all night in the courtyard looked at him. He smiled at Xiao Chiye and really went up.
Gujin drove, and the carriage shook.
Xiao Chiye handed Mrs. Tang to Shen Zechuan, and when Shen Zechuan accepted it, he put the back of his hand on Shen Zechuan's.
"It's so cold." Xiao Chiye said.
Shen Zechuan raised his fingers and pushed away Xiao Chiye's hand, leaned against the wall, and hugged Mrs. Tang.
Xiao Chiye said, "I don't look very happy."
Shen Zechuan warmed his hands and said, "I'm happy." He looked at Xiao Chiye, and said with a smile, "Second Young Master has made a stand for me, I'm happy."
Xiao Chiye said, "Second Young Master did nothing to anyone."
"That's what I said," Shen Zechuan said. "Now that the power has been established, when will I extend my favor? My days as a guard are few and far between. If you want to use it, you must hurry up."
Xiao Chiye looked at him and said nothing.
Shen Zechuan raised his chin slightly, which was like a relaxed posture. He let out a sigh of relief, paused for a while, and said, "The way of defending people, I'm not as good as you. Shen Lanzhou is a good target. It can be used for self-defense and shock when placed in front of him. Hu, maybe you can still warm the bed. It’s really hard to do something like this with three birds with one stone, Xiao Er, you are amazing.”
There was a lot of people outside the car, and the atmosphere inside the car gradually became dignified. The two were only a few inches apart, but they seemed to be separated by a moat. When the car arrived at the place, Gu Jin did not make a sound to disturb him.
Shen Zechuan warmed his hands, put Mrs Tang squarely back on the small table, and said, "It's a pity."
Xiao Chiye said, "What?"
"Everyone thinks that you are happy every night," Shen Zechuan licked the tip of his teeth and said to him slowly, "Who knew that you Xiao Er was still a dedicated Liuxia Hui, let alone fuck you, you have never even touched your saliva. "
After saying that, he was about to lift the curtain and get out of the car, but Xiao Chiye suddenly hooked his belt.
"Yes." Xiao Chiye smiled playfully, "I'm looking forward to the fight on the bed so much, I'll let you go."
Shen Zechuan said, "I don't want someone with such fierce eyes."
The curtain swayed, and people had already gone down.
Xiao Chiye's fingertips were empty, and he shook it indefinitely.

After the Tantai Tiger incident, the Imperial Guards were less ostentatious, and they all tucked their tails into life, returning to the way they were before the autumn hunting. Chen Yang is even more cautious in everything, and no longer dares to act like a deaf ear and let others make trouble. He had injured his foot in Libei before. After a few days, it was extremely cold, and he felt faint pain every day on duty.
After dinner one day, Xiao Chiye threw a few bottles of plasters to Chen Yang. Chen Yang went back and opened it, and it turned out to be the precious plaster that Xiao Jiming got from Master Guiyi in the early years. He couldn't help but blame himself again and acted more attentively.
Tantaihu over there returned home and was in trouble within a few days. His family died, but Zhongbo adopted three children, all of whom depended on his salary for food. He was not married again, there was no wife to take care of at home, and Yueyue had spent all her money, and now the rice and noodles were in short supply, and it was time for the New Year. He is a veteran of Dengzhou, and he has brothers in Qi, but he has always taken care of others. Now it is his turn, he can't afford to borrow money, and tighten his belt to feed the children, but it is not a long-term solution.
Tantai Hu was thinking about going to make money for tiger skins, and followed people to collect debts, and Chen Yang came to visit over there.
"New Year's Eve soon," Chen Yang put down the money and said, "The Governor still remembers that you have three children in your family."
Tantai Hu turned his face away and sat on the chair, saying, "Since I'm no longer on duty in the Imperial Army, there is no reason for me to collect money from the Imperial Army."
"I think you are a real tiger." Chen Yang said in a serious tone, "Why are you still angry with the Governor, when so many people watched that day, you made a move, where did you put the Governor in your eyes? Lack of military discipline is a taboo. , you have also known each other for so long, don't you understand?"
Tantai Hu said, "What can I do? When I saw Shen Ba, I remembered my parents!"
Chen Yang sighed and said, "Then you shouldn't open your mouth to humiliate others, and even scolded the Governor. What kind of temperament is the Governor? You have been with him for a few years, why are you still open-mouthed."
Tantaihu rubbed his hair.
Chen Yang said, "I'm also at fault. I knew you were reckless, but I didn't stop you. If you're wrong, you'll admit it, if you're punished, you'll admit it. A man who can bend and stretch out is a real hero if he has to quit?"
"Then what can I do? I've already paid my waist card!" Tantai Hu said here, feeling aggrieved and sad, "I've been with the Governor for five years, and I sold my life in Qiuhunli. Hu Meizi goes in and out all day, I am also afraid! He looks like that, I am really afraid that the governor will be mistaken! I am worried, I hate him! What Ding Tao said he is right, yes, this is the truth Who doesn't understand? But who can stand it? My parents and brothers died, not a dog on the side of the road!"
Chen Yang was also silent.
Tantaihu stomped his feet heavily, wiped his face indiscriminately, the man with the scarred face still shed tears when he recalled it, he choked and said: "I hate a person, seeing him next to him makes people feel unhappy, What's more, this kind of hatred? In the year when Zhongbo was defeated, Chen Yang, all the people who survived were ruined and survived! Who has pity on us? Look at my three children, if you don't even recognize a few words, you will become Orphans, digging mud from under the hooves of the Biansha cavalry and surviving, we are all scumbags.”
Chen Yang patted him and waited for him to calm down before saying, "But now that you are in the forbidden army, the governor is heaven. Huzi, five years ago, the governor purged the forbidden army and wanted to accept you foreign military households, but the Ministry of War did not agree. Do you remember what the Governor said?"
Tantaihu's shoulders trembled slightly.
Chen Yang said: "You still want to be a soldier to this day, isn't it because the governor said that 'the family revenge has not yet been avenged, and the national humiliation has not yet snowed'. One day the banned army will have to go out on horseback and kill the enemy at that time. It's even more enjoyable to blame others today? How can you forget it after a while!"
Tantaihu said: "How dare I forget, I haven't forgotten it for a day, I gave this life to the governor, so that there will be such a day."
"Then it will be done." Chen Yang got up and pushed the silver towards Tantai Hu, "brothers have no overnight feud, the Governor treats us as brothers, and the Governor himself paid the money. After the New Year, return to the original one. Team, hang up the small flag and be your bad boy."
Tantai Tiger had mixed feelings and sent Chen Yang out.
When Chen Yang came back, he saw Shen Zechuan, and the two saluted each other under the corridor. He lifted the curtain and went in, and Shen Zechuan knew it was over.
Shen Zechuan looked at Luo Xue boredly.
Such a wolf and tiger can really pretend to be fake, and fake can also be made real. People can't tell whether he is happy or angry, or whether he is genuine or fake.
Chen Yang came out again after a while. He lifted the curtain and nodded to Shen Zechuan, and said, "The Governor is waiting for you to have a meal inside."
Shen Zechuan turned around and saw Xiao Chiye looking at him.
