Chapter 111

After entering the inner city, Xue Chang did not go straight to the gate when he came to the street where Xun Wusi was. Instead, he found a street food stall that had opened, and asked for a bowl of chaoshou, a bowl of soy milk, two glutinous rice cakes, two A steamed bun, fill your stomach first, and wait for a while, so as not to go too early, and the Xun Wusi has not yet opened the door.

After Xue Chang had finished his breakfast, the sky became brighter, and the patrolling red-clothed guards could already be seen on the street. He straightened his clothes and strode towards the Patrol Division.

Before reaching the door, he was stopped by the guards, but then the captain of the guards who had met once beckoned and said: "It's you, go in quickly, Mr. Zhou is still waiting for you!"

Xue Chang thanked him, and walked quickly into the patrol division.

Stepping through the gate, what greeted my eyes was no longer the lonely and empty space I saw that day. Three or five martial artists with swords on their backs were scattered in the courtyard, and the noise gradually rose.

Xue Chang glanced roughly, then hurried towards the house he had registered before.

As soon as he entered the room, he heard Zhou Chengyu's anxious voice: "Oh, you are finally here! It's not good, your disaster is coming!"

Hearing this, Xue Chang's heart tightened inexplicably: "What disaster?"

"Yesterday, Inspector Guo came over and said, 'I want to show the roster of martial arts practitioners who have been registered and reported to several chief inspectors'. After he sent it back, I found that the records about you have been modified, and your martial arts level has been evaluated. For Ding Zhong, he was assigned to the infantry."

"Ah?" Due to lack of understanding of this aspect, Xue Chang didn't understand what it meant for a moment.

Zhou Chengyu explained quickly: "Escorts like yours are generally rated as C or even B, and are usually assigned to the swordsman team for surprise attacks and counterattacks. Ding's force is the worst, often It was the ordinary members of the Danshan Gang and the Feiyu Gang. They served as infantry, and as the main force to resist the enemy's attack, they often suffered the most casualties but made the least military exploits.

Now Xue Chang was in a hurry: "I haven't done a force assessment yet, why should they modify my records without authorization?!"

"I don't have time to worry about that now, how is your martial arts?" Zhou Chengyu asked anxiously.

"Very good!" Xue Chang said without humility at this time.

"Okay, now I say you write, let's quickly write an application for force assessment and submit it to the commander, there should be room for redemption!"

After a while, Zhou Chengyu took Xue Chang straight to the lobby.

Jiang Shijia rode back from Rongzhou yesterday on a fast horse. After a brief understanding of the military mobilization situation of the Patrol Division, he took the information and rushed to the Governor's Mansion to report. In the early morning, I rushed to the Military Patrol Division and sat in the lobby early to solve all the problems that occurred before the army assembled as soon as possible, so as to ensure the smooth departure of the army.

Not only Jiang Shijia showed such dedication, but even the heads of the various sects in Bashu arrived in advance one after another, making final preparations for the gathering of martial arts people.

Why do these major leaders who are usually late even for important meetings behave so actively this time?That's because ten days ago, Emperor Taixiang issued a decree to the heads of the various sects in Bashu. order, to protect the safety of the people, but the condemned thief Miao Wuhen has been operating secretly in the Bashu martial arts for decades, they are not aware of it, and some even provide help to the strength of the traitor, so that it caused the current catastrophe, making him Very disappointed.Now that the war is imminent, he hopes that Bashu Wulin can do its best to assist the court to quell the war and wipe out the rebels as soon as possible.

It can be said that the wording of this imperial decree is unprecedentedly severe. It can be seen that the young emperor's anger towards the Bashu martial arts, how can it not shock and panic the various sects in Bashu.

Therefore, even the head of the Qingcheng faction, who has never attended the meeting and asked his wife to replace him, is now sitting side by side with his wife Dugu Changhui in the lobby, and seriously reported to Jiang Shijia: "Master Jiang, the leader of the Qingcheng faction Twelve disciples have arrived at the Martial Inspection Division, and this is their list."

In fact, Jiang Shijia already knew who the Qingcheng faction was going to fight this time, but he was satisfied with the attitude of the Qingcheng faction, so he roughly scanned the list and praised: "Your faction's Daoist Fang (Fang Youyi) ), Daoist Gai (Gai Youren) was poisoned a month ago, and he probably hasn’t fully recovered, but he still insists on participating in the war, which is really admirable!"

"Serving the country is a matter of course." Zhao Changsheng Jishou said.

Master Jingxin stepped forward and handed over the list: "All 24 disciples of the Emei Sect have arrived."

When Zhao Changsheng heard this number, which happened to be twice the number of Qingcheng sect disciples, he was taken aback and looked at Master Jingxin.

Master Jingxin faced Jiang Shijia calmly, without even glancing aside.

But Dugu Changhui became unhappy, coughed heavily, and immediately attracted the attention of some people.

Zhao Changsheng looked at his wife dissatisfied, and thought: I don't care what the occasion is, just eat this kind of dry vinegar!

Not to be outdone, Dugu Changhui stared at her and thought: Zhao Changsheng, you who killed a thousand swords, you dare to flirt with that nun on this occasion!

Seeing this scene, the others forcibly suppressed their laughter.

Most of these leaders know about the secret love history between the two sects of Bashu: Zhao Changsheng and Master Jingxin had a marriage contract since they were young, and they were childhood sweethearts.Unexpectedly, the northern barbarians invaded and the former dynasty perished, while the founding emperor Chen Xuting of the current dynasty raised troops to unify Bashu. The fathers of both were former ministers of the former dynasty. Mount Qingcheng became a Taoist priest, and Master Jingxin was taken in by the Emei Sect, and the good marriage was broken up.

Later, the former head teacher of the Qingcheng School wanted his eldest disciple Zhao Changsheng to marry his third disciple Dugu Changhui so that they could join hands to revive the school. He refused, but he finally agreed when the master was dying.

However, Dugu Changhui has always been worried about this matter, so that he made a lot of jokes in the patrol division from time to time, so Zhao Changsheng didn't come to the patrol division at all.

Of course, at this critical moment, the leaders of each faction were not in the mood to watch the Qingcheng faction's husband and wife farce, and one by one immediately reported to Jiang Shijia the military mobilization situation of their sect.

Jiang Shijia was very satisfied with their attitude. It could be said that it was the first time for him to experience the prestige of being the commander of the Patrol Division, and he couldn't help but think of the secret letter sent to him by the commander Xu Zhaoyan not long ago.

At this moment, the guards outside the hall came in and reported: "My lord, the chief of the Golden Chamber Pavilion, Zhou Chengyu, has urgent matters to see."

The guard's report immediately attracted Jiang Shijia's attention.Zhou Chengyu does not know martial arts, nor was he born as a Jinshi, but he became the head of the Golden Chamber Pavilion at a young age, not because of his background, but because of his excellent memory. After only a few months in the Golden Chamber Pavilion, He was able to memorize the physical features, martial arts characteristics, and life stories of thousands of martial arts people who were recorded in the record. Moreover, after the military mobilization order was issued, Jiang Shijia specially arranged for him to be temporarily in charge of the martial arts people who registered to report, just to give full play to his ability to know Bashu martial arts so as not to offend others.

But he asked to see him before the army was about to leave. What went wrong? ! ...Jiang Shijia suddenly felt a little nervous. Seeing Zhou Chengyu walking into the lobby, he immediately asked, "Master Zhou, what's the hurry?!"

"My lord, this is an application for force evaluation from Xue Chang, the head of the former Jincheng Bodyguard Bureau." Zhou Chengyu said loudly, but did not submit the application immediately: "Although Xue Chang is not yet 20 years old, He has never participated in military training, but he is very sincere in serving the country. On the morning when the military mobilization order was issued, he was the first to come to the Yamen to sign up.

Since he had never participated in military training, his subordinates told him to come to the Military Patrol Division for a preliminary assessment of military strength after his lord came back.But last night, when his subordinates reviewed the reporting list, they found that his information had been tampered with. Not only was the level of force assessment written on it, but even the troops he belonged to had been assigned... The subordinates thought this was a very serious violation of discipline. Therefore, I am here to report to the adults! "

"There is such a thing! Show it to me!" Jiang Shijia's face immediately darkened.

Zhou Chengyu hurriedly submitted the documents about Xue Chang, the register and the application letter.

Perhaps realizing something, the lobby suddenly fell silent, and the heads of the factions sitting on both sides focused their eyes on Jiang Shijia.

"Xue Chang? I remember it seems to be the young man who escaped from the hot spring station bloody case." Meishan Zhai Jiang Shenghuo said disapprovingly: "Today is such an important day, we shouldn't do it for a Jincheng Bodyguard Bureau that has been removed. Your bodyguard is wasting time."

"This is not a small problem." Jiang Shijia looked through the materials submitted by Zhou Chengyu, and said quietly: "We will evaluate martial arts and military training for martial arts practitioners, organize them into appropriate troops, and finally enter them into the file... ...Who is responsible for all these? And who will sign and seal in the end? Master Jiangzhai, you have also worked in the patrol division, so you should be clear about it?"

"This..." Jiang Shenghuo heard the suppressed anger in Jiang Shijia's story, laughed dryly, and quickly said, "Of course this is your duty, Commander!"

"That's right, this is the right granted by the imperial court to be the leader of the Martial Arts Patroller! This right is not easy. It requires me to accurately understand the abilities of each martial artist and put them in the most suitable position to be able to When the war comes, let the army formed by these martial arts figures exert their greatest power, just like the current war...but-"

Jiang Shijia slapped the table next to him heavily, and shouted angrily: "But someone dares to tamper with documents and disrupt order at a critical moment when the army is about to move out and go to quell the chaos. What's the intention?!"

The lobby was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.

Guo Youxin, who was standing behind Dugu Changhui and carrying the water bag, suddenly felt his legs go weak.

Dugu Changhui seemed to sense something, looked back at him, then coughed, frowned and said: "Master Jiang seems to be serious."

If Jiang Shijia followed his past style and saw Dugu Changhui's displeasure, he might follow the other party's wishes and let this matter pass with such thunder and rain, but the imperial decree issued by Emperor Taixiang and the great commander Xu Zhaoyan's secret letter gave him confidence, and he decided to use this matter to suppress the arrogance of these Bashu martial arts leaders before the army set off, so as to establish his prestige.

So he said in a deep voice: "No, this is not serious at all! Even in normal times, if such a case is sent to Dali Temple, you will be sentenced to the felony of contempt of the court and sabotage of military aircraft, let alone in wartime! Master, tell me, who is so bold to tamper with the roster without authorization?!"

Facing the complex gazes of the leaders of the sects, Zhou Chengyu said in a loud voice: "I don't know who it is, but I know that inspector Guo Youxin asked his subordinates to borrow the registration list yesterday, saying that he wanted to show it to the chief inspectors. Look, let me know about the situation of military mobilization. But when the roster was returned, it didn’t take long for me to find that the roster had been tampered with. Besides, the roster has been kept by my subordinates and has never been touched by others. When I have a roster that was borrowed Inspector Guo's signature."

Jiang Shijia turned his head to look at Guo Youxin, and asked in a deep voice, "Guo Inspector, is there such a thing?!"

"Yes... I have... I have borrowed the roster..." At this moment, Guo Youxin lost his usual unruly self-confidence, his expression was tense, and he stuttered.

Jiang Shijia's gaze became sharper, and his tone became more serious: "Then do you know who tampered with the roster?!"

Guo Youxin's face turned pale in an instant, his lips squirmed, but he couldn't speak.

Jiang Shijia immediately shouted: "Guards, go and invite some chief inspectors to the hall. Also, call Zheng Zhengzheng to check the handwriting."

As soon as the guard answered "yes", Guo Youxin finally gritted his teeth, walked out from behind Dugu Changhui, half-kneeled under the hall, clasped his fists and said in a trembling voice, "Master Jiang, tampering with the roster is... I did it! When the chief inspector looked through the roster... I saw Xue Chang's name, he has no martial arts rating, and he has never participated in military training..."

As Guo Youxin spoke, his words became fluent: "And my subordinate once met him on the way back to Chengdu from Hanzhong with Senior Brother Song and Junior Sister Yang more than four months ago, and there was a little conflict. I will defeat him, so I am quite clear about his force, considering that the army will be assembled today, in order not to delay time, so I-"

"So I have to thank you, you are so considerate for me!" Jiang Shijia sneered, then slapped the table heavily, and shouted sharply: "Guo Youxin, you have been an inspector several times, and you should also understand the regulations of the inspector, but you know that you broke the law , tampering with important documents and disrupting military order without permission, what should you do?!"
