Chapter 101 Cancellation of Jincheng Bodyguard Agency
From time to time, bodyguards (including Yin Bin and Wang Xuan) who had recovered from poisoning in Iron Sword Villa came to visit to express their gratitude. At the beginning, he even came forward to receive and exchange greetings, but later he felt very annoying and delayed his cultivation too much. Simply tell the concierge: "Unless it is an important visit, I will not accept it. Just say that he is practicing in retreat."

However, Xue Chang still had no choice but to come forward to receive people from the Military Patrol Division.

Xue Chang didn't know the leader of the Martial Inspection Division. He was a man under 30 years old, with a burly figure, an unruly expression, and a cold tone: "Are you Xue Chang, the young guard of the Jincheng Security Bureau?"

"I'm here." Xue Chang cupped his hands and said, "What is the name of this inspector?"

"Meishan Zhaijiang Yifeng." The man said coldly.

Originally, Xue Chang was very polite to receive the visitors from the Martial Inspection Division, but seeing the other party's face, no matter how self-cultivated, he would feel displeased at this moment, not to mention that Xue Chang was young and energetic, so he immediately put away his smile, and said in a deep voice : "I don't know why Inspector Jiang came to the door this time?"

Jiang Yifeng didn't answer, but waved behind him, and then went straight to the wooden chair next to him and sat down.

An officer of the Military Patrol Division stepped forward, but his tone was much more relaxed: "Young Security Officer Xue, the Wenquan Station bloody incident caused all the bodyguards of the Jincheng Security Bureau to be injured and injured, and they are completely unable to carry out the task of dispatching escorts and bodyguards. According to the regulations of the Military Patrol Division , should have revoked the qualifications of the Jincheng Bodyguard Bureau, but Lord Jiang Shijia was generous and wanted to track down the murderer first and give an explanation to the dead bodyguards, so this order was suspended for a few months. Difficult, back to Chengdu, Lord Jiang once again leniently postponed it for a few months—”

Jiang Yifeng interrupted the officials impatiently: "Let me just say it straight. It has been more than eight months since the massacre at Wenquanyi, and the Jincheng Bodyguard Bureau has not recruited a bodyguard, nor sent another bodyguard. After discussion, the Military Patrol Division has decided to cancel the Jincheng Bodyguard Bureau, and I am here to take charge of the implementation!"

Hearing this, Xue Chang didn't feel anything, but Xue Fu, who was waiting on the sidelines, hurriedly begged: "My lords, can you give us a little more time?! We will go to recruit bodyguards tomorrow, and in a few days No, at most one month, the Jincheng Bodyguard Bureau can—”

"Uncle Xue." Xue Chang stopped the old housekeeper from continuing: "Let them withdraw from the Jincheng Bodyguard Agency. Anyway, I don't plan to engage in the bodyguard agency business anymore."

"Then we—" Xue Fu wanted to say: Without the bodyguard agency, what will we do in the future?
But he immediately thought of the thriving Malatang food stall outside the courtyard, and his voice stopped abruptly. He just remembered that the bodyguard agency he had assisted the master for decades was gone, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

"We are here not only to inform you that the Escort Bureau has been cancelled, but also to count and take back some military supplies that the Jincheng Escort Bureau has purchased from the Patrol Division over the years." This was what Jiang Yifeng said to Xue Chang, but he But he didn't look at Xue Chang at all, but nodded to the official.

The petty official immediately said: "According to the files of the Martial Soldiers, the Jincheng Security Bureau has purchased through the Martial Soldiers over the years..."

Xue Chang listened carefully, and he found that the Jincheng Bodyguard Bureau mainly purchased weapons, leather armor and pack horses from the Patrol Division.

The original owner had never learned about these things, so Xue Chang would naturally be puzzled: For these things, you can just go to a blacksmith or buy them in the market, why do you have to go to the inspector to buy them?

However, he didn't understand that most of the skilled blacksmiths in Dazhou were concentrated in the imperial court's crafting office and weapons supervisor. A few blacksmiths in the private sector could make one or two weapons in private. Such a large number of manufacturing is generally not dared, for fear Being accused and sent to jail, of course, most of the big sects have their own blacksmiths, which are approved by the court.

Therefore, the weapons produced by the imperial court are of high quality and low price (because they are mass-produced and the raw materials are easy to obtain). In addition, under normal circumstances, the military patrols will take care of the bodyguards under their jurisdiction, so the bodyguards can often get the price. Cheap and high-quality military supplies to enrich one's own strength.But once the Escort is disqualified, naturally these military supplies will be taken back.

After Xue Fu listened carefully, he couldn't help but want to speak again. The little official said immediately: "When we cleaned up the scene of the hot spring station massacre, we have recovered 8 long swords, 23 knives, 27 long spears, 15 Zhang Gong...is still a little lacking, I don't know if it has been placed in the mansion, but it will be taken back today."

"Yes, they are all stored in the warehouse, adults can go and check." Xue Fu said quickly.

"Then why stay here? Take us to have a look." Jiang Yifeng said impatiently.

Xue Fu led several officials from the Military Patrol Division into the armory next to the work room in the front yard for inspection.

Jiang Yifeng didn't go in, but stood in the corridor, looked at the martial arts training ground in front of him, and said: "Your family's martial arts training ground is very large, but it's a pity that it's a bit wasteful."

"Who knows? Maybe it will feel smaller in the future." Xue Chang replied.

"I heard that you have taken in a lot of apprentices?" Jiang Yifeng looked at him and asked seriously.

"There are not many, that is, three." Xue Chang replied.

"It's more than three. Some people reported that the voices coming out of your martial arts training ground every morning and night are very lively." Jiang Yifeng said with a sneer.

Xue Chang was well prepared in this regard, and he said calmly: "It is true that the apprentice only accepts three, but I also teach the newly recruited servants some simple fists and kicks. After all, there are few people in my family now, but the mansion is too big. , if there are thieves visiting, at least help me resist for a while."

Jiang Yifeng stared at him sharply for a while, and then said coldly: "You should be clear about the regulations of the Martial Inspection Division. If you find out that things are not what you said, you will not be able to escape punishment."

"I understand." Xue Chang replied calmly.

At this moment, the officials came out of the armory, and Jiang Yifeng asked, "Is everything there?"

"There should be a few more over there." The official pointed to the large weapon rack next to the martial arts training ground.

Jiang Yifeng waved his hand: "Quickly check and take everything away."

"Wait a minute." Xue Chang could no longer keep calm: "Can you leave some for us?"

"Boss Xue Shao, this is a rule, and there is nothing we can do about it." The official politely declined.

"Young Master Xue...oh, I can't call you any more now." Jiang Yifeng said sarcastically, "Xue...Young Man, if you want to get these military weapons again, you must either rebuild a bodyguard agency or create a sect."

Xue Chang lowered his face and stopped talking.

Fortunately, more than half of the weapons on the martial arts training ground were made by the original owner's father. It may be because the usual training does not need to wear out military weapons, but those high-quality weapons were all taken away by the attendants brought by Jiang Yifeng. All of them, including Xue Chang's favorite thick-backed broadsword.

Seeing the soldiers from the Military Patrol Division move these weapons and leather armors to the carriage outside the courtyard, Xue Chang couldn't help but asked again: "You moved these away, shouldn't you return the money to us?"

Jiang Yifeng sneered: "Warrior inspector sells you the excellent weapons of the Weapons Supervisor at such a low price. It is already taking care of the Jincheng Security Bureau. He also wants money. Have you made a mistake!"

Xue Chang was so angry that he was about to refute, Xue Fu whispered in his ear and reminded him: "Young master, every time I went to patrol the military division with the master to buy weapons, I did sign that 'Once the Escort Bureau is disbanded in the future, it must be returned free of charge. All the military supplies' agreements, in fact, no Escort has been disbanded for so many years, only our Jincheng Escort is unlucky... oh..."

Xue Chang took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and comforted Xue Fu: "It's okay, just take it away, anyway, you won't need it for a while, so it's a waste to put it here."

"You are young, but you have a good temper." Jiang Yifeng looked at Xue Chang with disdain, and pointed to the top of his head: "Are you asking us to pick this plaque? Or do you pick it yourself?"

Xue Chang said in a deep voice, "We will do it ourselves."

"Master, the old plaque of 'Xue's Mansion' was placed in the master's bedroom in the backyard. Two months ago, I took it to Hanshu Pavilion to re-polish and paint it. I'm going to get it now." Fu said that since the accident, he had already expected this day, sorting out military supplies, finding old plaques...he had already been prepared.

Having such a capable butler really saves trouble, Xue Chang said with emotion, "Send a servant to get it."

But Xue Fu was worried, and called a waiter from the nearby food stall, and hurriedly took him to the backyard.

"Can you hurry up, we are still in a hurry!" Jiang Yifeng said impatiently.

Xue Chang didn't speak, and looked up at the plaque on the lintel: Xue's family is indeed a wealthy family, not only the mansion is big, but also the vermilion gate is very grand, the lintel is three meters from the ground, the "Jincheng Security Bureau" The plaque is about two meters long and the wood is thick. It will take some effort to remove it securely.

However, Xue Chang said: "Whatever the reminder, take it now."

As he said that, Xue Chang didn't bend his body or bend his feet, just kicked his right foot lightly, his whole body jumped straight up, raised his hands above his head, grabbed the bottom of the plaque, and poured his true energy into his hands, shouting "ah!" With a sound, he picked up the plaque embedded in the stone wall.

When Xue Chang held up the two-meter-long plaque and slowly fell down, Jiang Yifeng's expression changed: "It's easy to jump up and fall with the plaque, but it's not easy to pull out the plaque in the air, because you can't use your own strength in the air, you have to rely on your own internal strength." Exercising, and he observed that when the young master of the Xue family removed the plaque, his rising speed was not hindered at all, and he could still maintain the same speed, which shows that his internal strength is not weak, and he can use his internal strength relatively freely... ...Didn't they all say that Xue Chang was just a playboy? "

The diners nearby applauded in unison, Xue Chang nodded with a smile, turned his head, and immediately became serious: "The plaque has been taken down, and it will not be hung again, you can go."

Jiang Yifeng's complexion changed a few times, and finally he said in a deep voice: "Xue Chang, you are from our Bashu martial arts, it is best not to associate with people from the Jagged Changhemen in the future, that's all for now, I'm leaving!" After finishing speaking, He got on his horse and walked away.

It was only then that Xue Chang understood the reason why Jiang Yifeng, who had never met him before, kept a straight face: I wanted to get in touch with him, but he looked down on us!
Xue Chang remembered the invitation he had sent out at Iron Sword Villa, but he had not seen a response so far, so he couldn't help but smiled wryly, feeling a little wronged.

At the same time, he was also secretly vigilant: it seems that after the class is over, the apprentices have to remind them again that they must not call themselves master when outsiders are around.

........................................................................

In the Qinzheng Hall of the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Emperor Taixiang leaned back on the couch and sipped tea. The old eunuch Cao Zhong was still standing beside him, and a young eunuch was serving him.

Xu Zhaoyan, who was summoned again a day later, was uneasy in his heart. He couldn't forget the scolding after the emperor summoned him yesterday. Although his complexion improved a lot when he saw him today, he hasn't spoken to him until now. He's more stressed.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao is here!" The eunuch's shrill voice came from outside.

"Hurry up and announce him to come in!" Emperor Taixiang realized something was wrong as soon as he said that, and immediately changed his words: "No need to announce, I will go and pick him up." After speaking, he quickly put down the teacup, stood up, and took a big step Go outside the store.

Mr. Zhao! ...Xu Zhaoyan was shocked: Is this Mr. Zhao? !
He fixed his eyes on the outside of the hall, and saw an old and thin figure holding a cane, following Emperor Taixiang into the hall.

Seeing the white mask on this man's face, Xu Zhaoyan was shocked again: Yes, he is that Mr. Zhao!It is said that he once assisted the late emperor in founding the Dragon Guard and Xunwu Division. Whenever there were problems in the martial arts, the late emperor often discussed with him, but the strange thing was that he wore a mask from the beginning to the end. No one had seen what he looked like, nor could he. No one knew his name, and the title "Mr. Zhao" still came from the mouth of the late emperor.Although he has no official position, but as a commoner, he can enter and leave the palace without restriction, and the dragon guards and military inspectors respect him very much.It's just that two years before the current emperor ascended the throne, I heard that he never appeared in front of people again, and I have never seen him since I became the commander-in-chief. Some people speculated that he might have died of old age, but I didn't expect to meet here today up...

Thinking of this, Xu Zhaoyan turned around and saluted Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao nodded.

"This is Xu Zhaoyan, the current commander-in-chief of the General Patrol Division." Emperor Taixiang introduced.

"I know, he is a very talented young man, and the Patrol Division is well managed by him."

Mr. Zhao's voice was hoarse and weak, but Xu Zhaoyan didn't find it unpleasant, but was a little excited.

The old eunuch Cao Zhong, who usually stood motionless like a wood carving and clay sculpture, took a step forward at this moment and bowed slightly to Mr. Zhao.

"Xiao Cao, you are still the same as before, and it seems that your internal strength has improved." Mr. Zhao nodded and said: "Very good, with you here, the palace is as stable as a rock."

"Mr. Zhao has won the award." The old eunuch replied calmly.
