An Feng Bamboo Horse

? The Ministry of War really had a vacancy. On the day Xia An reported for duty, the officer on duty took his name card and directly registered him as a new guard.

Smiling and leading him into the warehouse, he generously handed out a set of royal guard uniforms and sabers, and complimented him: "Second son Xia is a dragon and a phoenix. Young master, prepare well, I believe you will be able to stand out."

Xia Anfeng was holding the uniform and saber, and was stuffed with a heavy waist badge. He couldn't laugh or cry at the moment: "So soon..." He was just following his father's orders, and came to the Ministry of War for a while, just for a cutscene. Had to make up the recording on the spot?Is it too late for him to say no more?

The official who was in charge of entering the new personnel into the roster winked his eyes and smiled at him knowingly and knowingly: "Only the son of Dingguo Hou has this blessing, and there may not be vacancies for other people to come. "

So Xia Anfeng understood, Ding Guohou sent someone to arrange everything very early, just waiting for him to jump into the pit.

"Hunting in Dongshan Grassland, the second son is holding the waist card, and reporting to the Imperial Guard early in the morning, don't be late." The other party told him.

The day after tomorrow is also the day when the exam will start, and Xiaobai will have to take the exam for three days; Luo Xiaotang ran away without seeing anyone as soon as he returned to Beijing, and he didn't know what he was doing.It's good to loosen your muscles and bones when you go to participate in field hunting.

Xia Anfeng nodded, as a tacit consent to this new job. Anyway, he only needs to be responsible for the work and hunt a few rabbits if he wants to.

After sending the things back to the inn where he stayed, Xia Anfeng walked to the guild hall across the street.

In the past few days, he has been familiar with the situation of the guild hall, and he knows that if he puts in some money, the guards will let him in.The people living there are all scholars, some are over fifty years old with a lot of gray beard and hair, some are in their prime of life, and some like Bu Zhangbai passed the provincial examination at a young age and live in the guild hall as a juren of.Xia Anfeng didn't like reading very much since he was a child, and he was worried when he saw a book. If it wasn't for looking for Bu Zhangbai, he would feel uncomfortable when he entered a place like the guild hall.

As soon as he walked to the door, the guards were already familiar with him and were about to let him go.Just one person stepped out of the guild hall, with his head down, his steps were extremely fast, and he just touched Xia Anfeng's shoulder.

The other party looked up at him, his face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, and walked past him on the street as if nothing had happened.

The moment they passed by, Xia Anfeng felt familiar, and couldn't help but look back a few times.But that person walked too fast, he didn't see the other person's appearance clearly.

Bu Zhangbai was sitting in his room, arranging the scrolls at hand.

Xia Anfeng knocked on the door, and the moment he opened the door and saw him, he suddenly remembered: the weather-beaten eyes, the sharp murderous aura hidden inside, the person he met at the door, was he the one who kidnapped Bu Zhangbai in the Liuyunguan mountain range? The black-clothed assassin? ?

He actually came to the capital with his ghost lingering?

Bu Zhangbai put down the scroll and said with a smile, "It's so early today, didn't you report to the Ministry of War?"

On the small table in front of him were two ceramic cups, one of which was half filled with tea and still warm.

Noticing that Xia Anfeng's eyes swept over the two cups, Bu Zhangbai picked up the kettle beside him, poured hot tea into the empty cup, and smiled: "Fortunately, Fang made hot tea. Come, warm up." He Push the cup through.

Xia Anfeng frowned and said, "I ran into someone at the door."

Bu Zhangbai picked up the half cup of tea, hummed: "Know?"

"Like the man in black who held you hostage that day."

Bu Zhang smiled and said: "The entrance to this guild hall is very strict. Not everyone can come in and out casually. You are also able to come in because I am inside and you are the son of Lord Hou's mansion. You have discussed with the guard. , how could you enter the room in broad daylight, did you miss it?"

Xia Anfeng said: "You have been here for a few days, did you notice anything wrong?"

"Is it wrong that you always come to disturb me?"

Seeing him talking and laughing at Yan Yan, looking relaxed and at ease, not taking his own words seriously, Xia Anfeng was a little impatient, "I'm serious with you, although Luo Xiaotang escorted those assassins to the local government, it is inevitable that one or two of them will be killed." A fish that slipped through the net. If you come at me, I am not afraid, but I am only worried that he will use you as a means to hurt you. You are here alone, so it is always right to pay more attention to everything."

He looked into Bu Zhang's white eyes with undisguised concern. Bu Zhang pursed his lips, lowered his voice, and smiled: "Don't worry, I promise, no one will hurt me here."

Outside the guild hall, Xia Anfeng is not the only one who hides his identity and hides his whereabouts, waiting for him to call at any time.

Xia Anfeng had always trusted him a lot. Seeing how sure he was, he thought about it, and finally compromised, saying: "I will go to the hunt in the future, and when I come back, I will take you out of the hall."

Bu Zhang said in vain: "The examination is over, so naturally I can't stay in the guild any longer. Have you filled the vacancy?"

"..." The young master showed a toothache expression, "The new imperial guard, this is the only one, there is no other semicolon." Looking through the list, Xia Anfeng is the only child of the noble family added this year.Dad's pre-emptive move is really ruthless.

He said: "I haven't been incorporated into the team yet, and the official appointment can be postponed to a month later. Right now, I'm just familiar with the environment. Waiting for you—"

Before he finished speaking, he heard loud laughter at the door, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Luo Tang walking in the door gracefully, shaking his folding fan.

The third son of Luo had peachy eyes and a smile, and put Xia Anfeng on his shoulder casually: "The royal guard in the palace, you succeeded in filling the vacancy so quickly, my friend, your father has high expectations for you."

"Are you finished with your important work?"

Luo Tang's smile remained unchanged, and he answered indifferently: "It's half done." He said to Bu Zhang, "Mr. Bu will take the exam in the future, so he should be confident? When Mr. Bu's exam is over, there is someone Luo Tang wants to introduce Let me know Mr. Bu, I don't know if Mr. Bu is willing to show you face."

Xia Anfeng immediately said, "I'll go too."

"Are you interested in submitting papers to apprentice?" Luo Tang said, "That's the way civil servants go, and you are caught in the middle. I heard that there will be a royal field hunt the day after tomorrow, and the emperor and princes will all attend. The field hunt is There are only two spring hunts and autumn hunts in a year for royal affairs, my friend, you should seize the opportunity and stop shooting two rabbits."

His negative and sabotage thoughts were seen through at a glance, Xia Anfeng said: "Okay, okay, I'll hunt some foxes and come back, and I'll make you a fox jacket."

Luo Tang laughed and said: "I don't care about fox fur at all. If you hunt white tiger skin, you can make a scarf for Mr. Bu. I think he is not as comfortable in the north as he is in the south."

He only mentioned one sentence to introduce someone to Bu Zhangbai, and he didn't explain the second sentence. Bu Zhangbai knew that this was the meaning of talking about it in front of Xia Anfeng.But I don't know, Luo Tang and him have a general friendship, what needs to go over Xia Anfeng to find him?

Grandfather Bu Qingtian was an official in the court back then, and he had no personal relationship with Luo Biqiu, the Duke of Wei, so he couldn't talk about taking care of his descendants.Among the clues provided by the survivors of the Chinese army, Luo Biqiu's name was not on the list of officials who colluded with Marquis Dingguo.There is no human relationship, no enmity, Bu Zhang is naturally curious about Luo Tang's sudden suggestion.

But he didn't pursue it either, listening to Luo Tang and Xia Anfeng diverting the topic away from the field hunting in the future, he only interjected a few words occasionally.

After the chat was over, Luo Tang invited them to a nearby restaurant for dinner, as a belated welcome.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the test.

Bu Zhangbai went to the Gongyuan with a small package on his back. After careful body search and inspection of the package, he entered the inner courtyard with others.After half an hour, all the examinees had entered the arena, and the gate of the Tribute Academy closed heavily.

Xia Anfeng waited until the gate of the Gongyuan was closed, and then hurried to the Eastern Grassland, just in time to step on the spot and meet the captain of the Imperial Guard queuing up to roll call.

The captain of the imperial guard glanced at him and recognized him as the newly added imperial guard, the second son of Dingguo Marquis Xia Zun.Considering Ding Guohou's military achievements and status, he held back and said nothing, and ordered him to stand at the end of the military ranks.

Xia Anfeng was included in the novice team, and a row of ten people seemed to be newcomers, eager to try.

The flags are flying and the military drums are loud.The sun shines through the clouds and sprinkles golden yellow on the vast hunting grounds in the outer suburbs.

Although the royal hunting ground is located in the outskirts, because it has a variety of creatures, people often venture through the fence and enter it to poach.Even if they are not caught and sentenced, their lives are often injured by ferocious birds and beasts. Therefore, in recent years, the precautionary measures around them have become more stringent, especially today.

At the front of the field hunting team of hundreds of people, a bright yellow car can be faintly seen, and the magnificent canopy clearly shows the status of the king of the car.

On the left and right sides of the car, several heroic figures sat on tall horses, talking with each other with smiles, and the identity of the prince could be determined from the elegant and rigorous attire.

Sure enough, as Luo Xiaotang said, field hunting in this dynasty is no different from a military exercise, and it has always been valued by the royal family.

Xia Anfeng stood at the end, looking at the royal children one by one, guessing their appearance and character.Suddenly, he saw one of them turning his head back, talking to someone behind him with a smile, a sly smile flashed across his starry eyes.That smile seemed to be full of interest in everything, but it seemed that he didn't care about anything in particular.The appearance is actually Zhou Zhengmei.

"..." Something vaguely came to his mind, but he couldn't figure it out.

The war drums sounded again, like thunder.Hundreds of people raised their arms in unison, and the sound entered the sky and resounded through the sky and the earth. ?
