Liu Huafei

"Uh...Hello, deputy commander." Nianhua didn't dare to sit down immediately, standing up straight and shouted.He didn't realize that he didn't know the family's last name until the words came to his lips.

"Young Master Nian, don't be nervous, sit down." The deputy commander smiled, walked around and poured a cup of tea for Nianhua himself.

Nianhua received it in his hands flattered.

The deputy commander sat down beside him, with no expression on his face, but his peach-shaped eyes and the corners of his slightly raised mouth always seemed to be smiling.He said to Nianhua: "Young Master Nian, the emperor has already ordered you to do everything, so you don't have to worry..."

"The emperor has ordered? What did he order?" Nian Hua frowned slightly.

"You don't know?!" The deputy commander glanced at him, tapped his slender fingers on the table, and said, "The emperor wants you to stay under my command and let me teach you."

"Oh." Nian Hua was confused.What about following him?

The deputy commander saw that he really didn't understand, and said again: "The selection of the bodyguard battalion is selected every three years from among the twelve or thirteen-year-old boys. They have to go through twelve tests, big and small, and finally pass. They can only enter the school martial arts field in the camp, and they will be trained by Ling Ling, and those who are unqualified will be eliminated until they are 16 years old before they can officially enter the camp. Because the guard camp is the emperor's personal army, everyone in the camp The family background has been carefully investigated, and even the grievances and grievances of the three generations of his ancestors can be found out. Mr. Nian, the timing is obviously wrong for you to come in now. Therefore, I am afraid that you cannot be incorporated into the official guard team."

Nianhua was a little embarrassed, he did come in through the back door.Although he had the grace to save the emperor's life, but according to Yuan Mutian's character, he would definitely not tell others about that embarrassing experience.So in the eyes of others, he still relies on his relationship with the emperor to...

The deputy commander looked at Nianhua for a moment, twitched the corners of his lips, and said, "Although the guard camp can be said to be a place to accompany the military officer, the paperwork is also very complicated. I happen to be short of manpower here, so Young Master Nian will stay Help me. At least the grown-ups here have official positions, no better than the guards who can’t reach the rank?! The emperor arranged this way for the sake of Young Master Nian. It also saves Young Master Nian and those rough hands The warriors are mixed together, causing the emperor to worry."

The hands under Nianhua's sleeves were clenched tightly.It turned out that even after arriving here, he still couldn't get rid of the shame brought by his previous identity.The vice-commander spoke nicely, but what he said was full of disdain.It's not that Nianhua can't do odd jobs, but if he continues to do it here, when will he get rid of that reputation.

"Vice Commander, you said so much just now, in the final analysis, there are only two criteria for you to select bodyguards." Nianhua pursed his lips and said, "One must be outstanding in martial arts, and the other must be loyal to the emperor."

The deputy commander raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "You can say that."

"My loyalty to the emperor, there is nothing to doubt." Nianhua said, with a self-deprecating smile, "He dared to put me next to his pillow, dared to be 'honest' with me. If you want to talk about trust, maybe this In the entire guard camp, there is no second person he dares to trust so much."

Nianhua said it so bluntly, but the expression on the commander's face froze, a little unnatural.

Nianhua continued: "When it comes to martial arts, I dare not say that I am better than the entire guard battalion, but I am definitely at the passing level. Deputy Commander, I am not an embroidered pillow, and I will not follow the emperor's arrangement to stay behind." Be a clerk. I want to enter the official establishment with my own ability. You can arrange the assessment as you like!"

After listening to Nian Hua's words, the deputy commander suddenly smiled and said, "According to Mr. Nian, the adults in my palace are all embroidered pillows."

"I... I didn't mean that." Nianhua hurriedly explained, but was interrupted by the deputy commander's hand.

"It doesn't matter. I also obeyed orders. If Mr. Nian insists on relying on his own ability to be admitted to the guard camp, even if he reports to the emperor, he will have nothing to say. It's just that he will be furious." The deputy commander smiled and said, "Since that's the case, please wait a little longer, Mr. Nian. When Commander Ling comes back, let him arrange the assessment for you." After speaking, he got up and walked back to his desk, burying his head in reading the documents.

Nianhua was left there all of a sudden.Only then did he feel that this deputy commander was much more difficult to deal with than that Ling Qing.With a half-smile on his face, you can't see what he's thinking.It seems to be very polite, and it seems to look down on people at all. This feeling is really painful.

Nianhua didn't bother to ask him any more, so he went out from the small house, looked around in the hall, found the fat middle-aged man who was talking to him at the beginning, and ran over to ask Commander Ling when he would be back.

The man shivered slightly, squinted at Nianhua, thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Commander Ling will probably be back at night, and whether he will go to work after that depends on whether the emperor calls. "

Nianhua nodded, looked back at the closed door, and asked, "My lord, what is the name of the deputy commander?"

The chubby adult stroked his beard again, shook his head and thought for a moment: "My surname is Jun, taboo elegant, and the name is Mingfang."

"Oh, thank you, my lord." Nian Hua bowed his hands to the fat lord, and walked away.The fat man stood there shaking again, and it took a long time for Nianhua to hear a sentence from behind: "There is no need to be polite." He almost knocked on the door frame.

After Nianhua left the guard camp, he felt a little depressed, and when he saw the small bag he had packed, he couldn't lift his spirits even more.I thought it would be an easy task for the emperor to speak up, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Nianhua doesn't want to go back to the place where she lives now, and if she goes back, she will definitely be asked by Xiao Lizi and Yunzhi.He looked up and looked around. This was already the outer edge of the palace. The guards usually had to go out to do business, so there were special entrances and exits for people in the camp to use.

Nianhua's heart skipped a beat, and he carried the small package to the base of the wall, and jumped over while no one else was paying attention.Anyway, before Ling Qing came back, he was free to move around, and he hadn't seen Zihan for a long time, so he just took advantage of this time to visit him.

Nianhua inquired along the way, and it didn't take long to find Yuan Qi's mansion, Prince Rui's Mansion.When he arrived outside the main gate, he saw a few soldiers standing outside the gate, so he stepped forward and said: "I'm here to find His Royal Highness Ji Wang who is a guest at your residence, please let me know."

Xiaobing, who was asked by Nianhua, looked at the front without blinking, completely unreasonable.

Nianhua took another two steps forward and waved his hand: "Hey, I'm calling you. I'm a friend of His Royal Highness Ji Wang. Please help me, brother." He took out a peg of silver and put it in his hand. She weighed it and stuffed it into the soldier's hand.

Xiaobing raised his eyelids and raised his hand, and the silver flew in an arc in the air, and he didn't know where it was going.

Nianhua stared so hard that his eyes almost popped out, he was stunned for a while, and after he realized it, he went up and wanted to beat him up: "What are you pretending to be like a janitor, if you don't want it, just give it back to me, that's ten taels of silver ah!"

A few small soldiers on the side came up with weapons, and pushed them into the street, all of them pursing their lips silently, without saying a word.

Nianhua was making a noise here, and a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Where is this trouble coming from?! This is outside the main entrance of Prince Rui's Mansion, how can it be so noisy!"

Nianhua looked back and saw Cheng Zihan standing next to a small sedan chair, looking at him with displeasure.

"Zihan!" Nianhua exclaimed in surprise.

"Nianhua, why is it you?!" Cheng Zihan was also taken aback, and walked forward quickly, waved back a group of soldiers, and looked Nianhua up and down, "What are you doing? Why, you were kicked out by Yuan Mutian gone?"

Nianhua took Cheng Zihan's hand and smiled, "How is that possible? I came here to find you, but these people stopped me so tightly that I didn't even notify you."

Seeing the small package in Nianhua's hand, Cheng Zihan smiled and said, "Looking for me? Do you want to elope with me? Okay, I'll let someone clean up, let's go!"
