Chapter 337 Smoke bomb
Under the triple eaves of the Bell and Drum Tower, the bell and drum officer looked at the ones beside him, standing next to the table with a red pen in his hand, staring at the more leaky ones.
When the last drop of water fell from the leak, he used a red pen to draw a circle on the "Mao Hour" on the day and night book. Two other bells and drum officers pulled up a huge wooden hammer and knocked the eight thousand pounds of copper bell.
Dong.
The sound of the bronze bell swings out like an iron plow, and the day begins in one day.
Chen Ji walked into the gate, Li Xuan stood on the school ground. When he saw him coming in, he inquired: "What is so important that I forgot to bring, and I have to go back and get it?"
Chen Ji replied: "I forgot to bring the money."
Qi Zhenzhuo was lowering his head and tied his arm armor. He said helplessly: "Master, you said it earlier. I'll just lend you some first. Why do you have to go back and get it?"
Chen Ji smiled and explained: "I don't like to owe favors, so it's okay to get it."
Li Xuan said worriedly: "I haven't encountered any difficult things, right? If there is any difficult things, you can tell me and help me out."
Chen Ji's heart was shocked. Li Xuan was more thoughtful than ordinary military men. I guess he was aware that something was wrong with him when he left.
He shook his head: "It's okay, we have just been promoted, what can we do? I'll go put on my armor."
Chen Ji was worried that there would be any flaws if he said too much, so he walked into the Yulin Army Governor's Office without waiting for a long time to think about it, and signed and sealed his silver armor from the armory.
When they were ready to go out, Li Xuan was looking at the Yulin Army lined up on the school ground, with only 241 people remaining, which was far from the 5,000 troops at its peak.
The Yulin Army who were promoted to the next level were majestic, with silver armor on their bodies being polished a little, and a brand new white pheasant tail was replaced with the top of their heads.
A long white pheasant tail is above the head of a hundred households, a long pheasant tail is worn by a long pheasant tail and a short pheasant tail. The commander wears a long pheasant tail and two short pheasant tails. Li Xuan’s helmet turns into white tassels, which is unique.
On the other hand, the Yulin Army, who were demoted as soldiers, were covered in dust and even the white pheasant tails on their helmets were taken away. In the future, only major festivals can be worn temporarily for the sake of neatness and beauty.
He raised his hand to touch the white pheasant tail above his head, and was happily happy.
Chen Ji was not thinking about it here. He joined the array and stood still, thinking about how to hand over the wooden box to the clerk of the Huitong Library.
The easiest way is to ask the Golden Pig to help you go.
Previously, he robbed the prison in the inner prison, exploded the clouds, sheep, and the other party knew that they were already on the same boat. If something happened to him, the other party's escort's escort was hopeless, so he didn't have to worry about the Golden Pig's rebellion before seeking the Dao Realm.
But this is a test of loyalty by the Si Cao Gui. If the Military Information Department discovers his identity in the Secret Spies Department, it may be difficult to get into trouble.
Must send it yourself.
At this time, Li Xuan slowly spoke to everyone, "From now on, this governor will take charge of the Yulin Army. Everyone will be required to be short of the value for no reason, and they will train every day..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a middle-aged man walking into the gate.
This man has a square face, a clear edge and angular body, a bear robe on his chest, a golden lychee leather belt on his waist, and black soap boots on his feet. He is a fifth-rank military officer.
Seeing that he was given a gold lychee belt in the imperial court, he was still a ruthless character who had made great contributions and received awards from the imperial court.
When the other party walked past the Yulin Army array, his eyes swept sharply over the Yulin Army, like a steel knife, shaving across everyone's face.
He came to Li Xuan and clasped his fists and said, "I am not a good job in Wu Xuange, I have met Lord Li."
Li Xuan said calmly: "Mr. Wu is famous for his long-awaited army. Li has heard of it for a long time, so there is no need to be too polite."
"Don't dare," Wu Xuange handed a document to Li Xuan: "This is the document transferred by the Ministry of War to me as the commander of the Yulin Army. From now on, I will be in charge of the Zuo Xiaowei."
Li Xuan took the document and looked at it, giving him enough respect: "In the future, I will be my colleagues. Brother Xuan Ge, please wait for a moment. Li still has some things to do..."
However, Wu Xuange interrupted Li Xuan and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li, please forgive me. Since Wu has come to the Ministry of War, he will first order all his troops."
Without waiting for Li Xuan to react, he turned around and opened another document in his hand against the Yulin Army: "Those who are famous come out, Zhuang Wen!"
The Yulin soldiers looked at each other, not knowing whether they should leave the list for a moment.
Wu Xuange sneered: "You can't even do the orders and prohibitions? It seems that you lack training in daily life, and you have no energy and spirit of military courage. Others dare not restrain you. I dare. I will shout again. If you don't leave the list, you can go home to find your mother, Zhuang Wen!"
A soldier walked out of the queue, Wu Xuange strode forward and slapped each other on the face: "Can you have a memory?"
Zhuang Wen lowered his head and said, "I have a long memory."
Wu Xuange said angrily: "Raise your head, I, Daning, have no warriors who bow down!"
Zhuang Wen looked up and said, "I have a long memory!"
Wu Xuange took the document and ordered another person: "Yuan Xi!"
Yuan Xi hurriedly stepped out: "Here!"
Li Xuan's face was as deep as water while making a name for himself.
Chen Ji whispered to the common people beside him: "What is the origin of this person?"
"This man is a thousand households in the Long Live Army. In the 21st year, Jianing encountered the vanguard of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry outside Chongli Pass. He was awarded the title of the flag and was awarded the gold lychee leather belt... The key is that this man is Wu Xiu's cousin. It was because of his contribution that Wu Xiu stood out from the inner court and came into the eyes of His Majesty. He first became the governor and eunuch, and then became the chief eunuch of the Sili Supervisor."
Duobao reminded him: "Wu Xiu can be a big eunuch on the pen, not only because of Wu Xuange, but also because of his own ability. In addition, there is another person named Wu Xuanyi, who is now a transshipment officer in Lianghuai Salt Transportation Bureau, and is from the third rank. Wu Xuanyi took office for four years and has increased the salt tax by 20%, which is highly valued by Your Majesty."
Chen Ji was puzzled: "Since Wu Xiu has a family background, why did he come to the palace to work as a servant?"
Qi Jingju explained: "The Wu family was implicated in a case before, and the family was lost."
Chen Ji said curiously: "What case?"
All of them lowered their voices: "It was when the late emperor was there that a concubine gave birth to children and gave the imperial court wine to the imperial court. Xu Shi stuffed silver to criticize the Ziwei star constellation. The matter was found out by the empress dowager. The adult male of the Xu family was asked to be executed. The woman was exiled to Lingnan. All males who were not as tall as the crown were all castrated and sent to the Chaitang Bureau of the Neijing to guard the hunting ground. The Wu family didn't know what they did in it. Wu Xiu's father was sent to Lingnan and died on the road. Wu Xiu was also castrated and sent to the Chaitang Bureau."
Chen Ji continued to lower his head and thought, how to hand over the wooden box to the clerk, and ignore the rest. Whether Wu Xuange is here to decentralize power or rectify military affairs, it is all about Zuo Xiaowei and has nothing to do with the Right Guard where he is.
After a stick of incense, Wu Xuange ordered his troops and turned to Li Xuan and clasped his fists, saying, "Mr. Li, the military discipline of the Yulin Army is abolished, and the humble position is going to rectify the military discipline now. Let's talk about other things a little later."
Li Xuan was silent for a moment: "Okay."
Wu Xuange turned around and looked at the Zuo Xiaogu soldiers and said in a singular manner: "From tomorrow, all my Zuo Xiaogu soldiers will be in the military house of the Governor's Office, and they will be able to leave the camp after resting on the third day of the month. As a soldier, they still want to return home every day, their wives and children will be warm on the kang? The morale of the army is disintegrated! In addition, if I find someone who is gambling and visiting prostitutes, I will immediately remove the Yulin Army. Now, I will replace this shiny armor. For me, everything is pragmatic and I will never be careless."
After saying that, he led more than 200 Yulin soldiers to the other side of the schoolyard.
Qi Zhenzhuo looked at Wu Xuange's back and said angrily: "Governor, he is disgusting you all the time. Why did he make him the governor of the Yulin Army?"
Li Xuan said in a deep voice: "It is normal for the Long Live Army to come out to be more domineering. And what he did is right. The Yulin Army was still too lazy in the past. From today on, we will also have strict requirements."
Qi Jingjing murmured in a low voice: "Why did you become the governor? You can only take care of the number 30 people? I thought the Yulin Army would be up to our Qi family to decide in the future."
Chen Ji suddenly said: "It is precisely because the Qi family cannot be the dominant one in the Yulin Army that Wu Xuange is urgently transferred."
Qi Jingju was stunned: "So that's it!"
Li Xuan kept staring at Wu Xuange. Seeing that the other party had started to train, he immediately took a deep breath: "Removing the armor, we can't stop training, we can't ask people to compete."
...
...
At noon, the training of the Yulin Army stopped. One of the soldiers was exhausted and the other was slumped on the school ground. They gasped for two sticks of incense before struggling to get up.
He walked out with Duobao and others in a close manner, greeting Chen Ji: "Master, go, go to Bianyifang, Qipan Street for dinner."
Chen Ji shook his head: "I won't go, Xiaoman delivers me food."
Qi Jingju turned around and saw Xiaoman standing outside the gate with a food box: "No, Master, the food is cold when I brought it from Chen's mansion. Can the pot be delicious without any steam?"
Chen Ji smiled and said, "Save money."
Qi Zhenju was stunned: "Master, you are short of money? Didn't you just confiscated Wang Huan's home?"
Chen Ji glanced at him: "It's just a desire to eat, just be able to eat enough."
Qi Jingjing scratched his head: "Okay."
When everyone left, Chen Ji came to the gate and Xiaoman placed the food box on the head of the stone lion in front of the gate: "Young master, try it, I made this fried egg with tofu and leeks with fried eggs with fried tofu and leeks by myself."
Chen Ji said curiously: "How do you know I like tofu?"
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Second sister reminded me. She also reminded me that the second house of the Chen family suffered heavy losses this time, so I must choose the ingredients and cook with my own hands to prevent someone from secretly harming you."
Chen Ji leaned against Shi Shizi, holding a bowl of rice in his hand and plucked it into his mouth, waiting to swallow: "I am afraid that the second wife Wang, the wife, would take revenge on me?"
Xiaoman shook his head: "No, Wang has been under house arrest by the second wife this morning."
Chen Ji was stunned: "Why?"
Xiaoman said slowly: "It was originally a marriage between the Chen family and the Shuntian Prefecture Prime Minister. The Shuntian Prefecture Prime Minister was gone and the Wang family was gone, so the Wang family was useless. This deep mansion is the most ruthless, and the useless people naturally have to give up. I believe that in a while, Wang will die of illness."
Chen Ji stopped chopsticks: "She is Chen Wende's biological mother, right?"
Xiaoman said, "My second sister said that Chen Wende is already the Minister of Rites. If she wants to go further, she cannot leave a stain like Wang's. Perhaps he is the person who most hopes that Wang will die."
Chen Ji finished cooking the meal a few mouthfuls: "Xiaoman, go back and prepare some things for me. Shen Shi had sent it to Yuanmen before."
Xiaoman said curiously: "What do you want for the young master?"
Chen Ji closed his eyes and recalled for a moment: "Willow charcoal, sulfur, rosin powder, oil-soaked sesame paper, cinnabar, bamboo tube, saltpeter, arsenic, remember, arsenic and saltpeter should be bought separately at the medicine shop. These things should be crushed and sieved carefully twice with a ponytail sieve to put them in the bamboo tube, and only six minutes full..."
Xiaoman widened his eyes: "Young Master, I can't remember!"
Chen Ji returned to the Governor's Office and wrote a note: "Take it to your second sister and ask her to prepare it. Remember to remind her that this piece of paper must be burned after reading it."
Xiaoman said, "Leave it to her second sister, she will do it properly."
"Go," Chen Ji put the bowls and chopsticks into the food box, whispered to Xiaoman, got up and left.
Huitong Hall is right next to the Sixth Ministry’s Office and is only one mile away from the Yulin Army Governor’s Office.
Pedestrians came and went back and forth, Chen Ji followed a carriage and slowly passed by the Huitong Hall. Yu Guang kept sweeping over the pedestrians on the roadside.
The peddler carried a shoulder pole but did not sell it, and only visited the neighborhood. The groom wiped the carriage at the entrance of the street, but his collar was clean.
There are many secret spies, all of which are the mysterious snakes.
There were more than 20 secret spies ambushing in the Huitong Hall, and there were still countless ambushing in the Huitong Hall.
Can't get in. Unless Chen Ji takes out his Haidong Qingxiao card, he will definitely not get in.
