Linque

At the beginning of the hour, Xie Chu, the commander of the Emperor's Guards Battalion, arrived in the Hall of Martial Arts on time.

Although he had repeatedly emphasized before that private fights and bullying were not allowed in the hall, just in case, Xie Chu personally visited the Hall of Martial Heroes three times a day.

After half a month, Chu Heng gradually got used to the life in the palace, and had a rough understanding of the rules in the imperial city.

He is in a special situation, so the martial arts class cannot be forced.Moreover, because of his lack of martial arts, it is impossible for him to be elected to the imperial court, and all kinds of tedious etiquette and literature lessons can be saved.

As a result, Chu Heng was the latest to join the Hall of Martial Arts, but became the first to finish the assessment.

Xie Chu thought about it, and finally decided to let Chu Heng take over Xiao Yang, who went back to his hometown to marry a wife, and be responsible for guarding the gate in the front hall of Wuying.

Although it doesn't sound very good, for someone like Chu Heng who doesn't think about making progress, this is really an excellent job, and it is very suitable for him.

The wind does not blow and the rain does not blow. Every day, you just sit in the duty room next to the gate of the temple, read a book and drink tea. When the weather is good, you can go for a walk around to bask in the sun.It is said to be looking at the gate, but in fact it is just sitting around openly.

After hearing Yun Fei's introduction, Chu Heng couldn't help being a little suspicious: "But isn't it afraid that outsiders will break into the palace?"

"Break into the palace?" Lu Ji's eyes lit up when he heard these two words, he stepped on the stool with one foot, rolled up his sleeves and said excitedly: "That would be great! The most welcome thing in the Wuying Palace is the kind of people who come to find people by themselves. Beaten."

Yun Fei stretched out his hand and pressed him on the chair, tilted his head and said in boredom: "It's not a holiday, who would come to our place on weekdays? From the time I entered the temple to now, don't talk about intruders. I have never seen a few—oh, except for the occasional imperial guards who are not on duty will come to shout and provoke, they are the exception."

It is nothing new that the Tianzi Guards Battalion and the Imperial City Imperial Guards do not fight each other. They are both His Majesty's personal guards, so naturally they want to compete.The Royal Guards of the Imperial City felt that there were only a hundred or so people in the Hall of Wuying, and that the title of "Emperor's Guard Battalion" was for nothing, and their virtues were not worthy of it.The Tianzi Guards Battalion also thought that the imperial guards of the imperial city were just a little too many people. In fact, there were not many capable of fighting.Neither of the two sides looked down on the other, and over time, it was just like this.

Although the Wuying and the North and the South Halls secretly compete internally, they are extremely united externally, especially when facing the Imperial Army, they are united like brothers.

Yun Fei rested his chin on the table, and continued listlessly: "Anyway, there must be no one who broke through the door. You just need to pay attention to the imperial guards, and we will accompany you if you fight, but they don't want to step into the gate of the Hall of Martial Arts. .Remember—"

He straightened up and raised a finger, with a serious tone: "If there are forbidden soldiers coming, you must not be polite to them, just say, the rules of the Wuying Palace, forbidden soldiers and dogs are not allowed to enter! If you know your senses, get out, if you don't know your senses——"

Yun Fei snorted, pointed to the bell next to the gate of the hall, and continued: "You just pull the special signal for 'going out to beat dogs'. Regardless of the north or south, as long as there are living people who are not on duty in the hall, they will come out immediately. "

Yun Fei obviously still remembered what happened half a month ago, and said with a ferocious face: "You dare to say that we are ugly, don't let me catch you, or he will screw off the dog's head!"

Lu Ji nodded approvingly at the side, and added: "It's not that we are too much! They also scolded us for being forgetful. The rules passed down from previous generations, if anyone can enter the other party's door, That is to take off your face and put it on the ground, so you can’t let this bottom line step! And last time I asked them what kind of person you like according to Yun Fei’s words, they knew that they couldn’t beat your big brother, so they became angry and said you The little boy is so forgetful!"

"..."

In this way, under the guidance of Yun Fei and Lu Ji, Chu Heng went to the gate of the Hall of Martial Arts and took office smoothly.

What Yun Fei said was true, except for the emperor's guards who came in and out every day wearing a belt badge, no one else entered or left the Hall of Martial Heroes.Chu Heng sat here for three or four days, not even seeing a shadow of outsiders.

The afternoon sun was just right, Chu Heng squinted his eyes and leaned against the big banyan tree next to the entrance of the hall, almost falling asleep.While his consciousness was hazy, a handsome and tall figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

He opened his eyes and looked over. The man was wearing a simple dress with arrow sleeves and a simple long sword pinned to his waist. He was walking towards the Hall of Martial Arts at a steady pace.

Chu Heng's heart was slightly rippling, he remembered this person, more than half a month ago, he went the wrong way from the Tibetan Sword Pavilion back to the Hall of Martial Arts, and he had a relationship with this person once.

At that time, the man was standing at the foot of the stone steps at the end of the corridor. His outline was clear, his eyes were deep, he was dressed in a black brocade robe, his shoulders were wide and his waist was narrow, standing there like a jade mountain.

Although it was only one side, somehow, that dignified expression and posture has been engraved in Chu Heng's mind, clearly and profoundly.

Chu Heng collected his thoughts, stood up with a slight frown, he remembered that this person seemed to be a member of the imperial guards.

Chu Heng looked over carefully, he did not have the badge of the Hall of Martial Heroes on his waist, and the military uniform on his body did not belong to the Guards Battalion.It's not yet time for the military generals to come to Beijing to report on their duties, and none of the princes in the imperial capital have handed over the greeting card recently.

Chu Heng hesitated for a moment, recalling what Yun Fei had emphasized to him three or four times before—that anyone who came to the Hall of Martial Arts with a sword and a sword on his waist, except for the Imperial City Guards who were not on duty, would never There will be a second person.

The man looked stern, and walked straight towards the gate of the palace.He obviously also noticed Chu Heng who was on duty at the side of the hall, his eyes flicked across the latter's face, but he still didn't stop.

The first time Chu Heng saw this person behind the hidden sword pavilion that day, he knew that he was a master. If it was about fighting alone, there were not many people in the Hall of Martial Heroes who could match him.But when Chu Heng thought of mentioning the Imperial City Guards, his colleagues showed fierce and cruel looks, and saw this man coming alone, and there was no helper behind him...

So Chu Heng thought for a moment, raised the scabbard in his hand, blocked it in front of this person, pointed to the plaque with the words "Wuying Temple" written on the gate of the palace, and reminded gently: "You are alone, so don't force yourself." Did you break in?"

Ling Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the scabbard in front of him, and looked at the owner of the long sword, his eyes fell heavily on Chu Heng's face, and he didn't respond.

Seeing that his expression was cold, Chu Heng obviously didn't listen to the good words of persuasion, but instead seemed to be very redundant.

He couldn't help being a little depressed, and remembered that Lu Ji said that the imperial guards of the imperial city often scolded him as "little white face and forgetful", so he lowered his voice and said, "Do you have to say it directly? There are rules in the Wuying Palace. The imperial guards and..."

Chu Heng looked at the man's stern eyebrows, recalled the first meeting at the bottom of the stone steps half a month ago, subconsciously swallowed the word, only turned his head and said vaguely: "Do not enter."

However, Ling Ye had already heard Chu Heng's hidden words, and there was no obvious angry look on his face, he just gave Chu Heng a faint glance, his brows moved slightly, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he still didn't make a sound.

"You really want to go in?" Chu Heng frowned, he didn't want to embarrass the person in front of him, but this person didn't listen to good or bad words, it was really difficult.

Chu Heng hesitated for a moment, thinking about this afternoon, Commander Xie Chu was in the hall all the time, with him watching, even if Yun Fei and the others had a quarrel with the people in front of them, nothing would happen.

Chu Heng glanced at the person in front of him again, seeing that his expression was not moving, he could only sigh and take a step back helplessly, reaching out to touch the bell hanging beside the palace door.

The lingering sound of the bell was faint, spreading throughout the entire Hall of Martial Arts, and the place where the sound touched suddenly boiled.

On the fifteenth day today, Yun Fei was in the middle of rest, and when he heard the ringing of the bell, he took the lead and rushed out with his sword in hand, shouting, "How dare you come!"

He took three steps and made two steps at a time, almost using his lightness kung fu, the long sword in his hand was about to be unsheathed, when he saw the figure beside the palace gate, his feet suddenly stopped, and he froze in place immediately.

A group of people followed Yun Fei, and when they saw him stop suddenly and was about to ask questions, their eyes touched the people in front of the hall, and they immediately swallowed back the words they hadn't finished speaking, and a group of people knelt down on the ground with a clatter.

There was an instant silence in front of the whole Hall of Martial Arts.

Standing in front of Ling Ye alone, Chu Heng realized belatedly that something seemed wrong.

Ling Ye glanced at him faintly, Chu Heng subconsciously lowered his head and staggered his gaze, and then knelt down.

This is what Xie Chu saw when he walked over.He also heard the ringing of the bell in the hall, but he was not in a hurry to come out.I only calculated the time in my heart, and when the group of brats in the temple were almost making a scene, I came out to stop them, and said a few words in a manner.

However, when he was about to reach the gate of the palace, he realized that something was wrong - it was too quiet, let alone the sound of fighting, and there was not even a half-speaking voice.

Xie Chu's heart trembled, and he walked forward quickly. He saw everyone in the Wuying Hall kneeling on the ground. His Majesty lowered his eyes and stood in front of the hall with a stern expression. He looked at Chu Heng who was closest to him, and said nothing. hair.

Today is the fifteenth day, as usual, His Majesty will come to the Hall of Martial Arts to practice swords in the evening, so Xie Chu has been waiting in the hall since the afternoon.But it never occurred to him that His Majesty came almost an hour earlier than the scheduled time today.

Looking at the scene, Xie Chu roughly guessed the ins and outs, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute, before he could make a sound, his Majesty suddenly said: "Who did you just say that the imperial guards are not allowed to enter?"

As soon as the words fell, the faces of all the people present changed.

They and the Imperial City Imperial Guards all knew the words that the Hall of Martial Arts had circulated privately.

It's okay to mistake His Majesty for the imperial guards, and it's even okay to not let him enter the Hall of Martial Heroes because of this, but the most important thing is this sentence that shouldn't be said.

Really disrespectful.

Yun Fei's face was even paler, cold sweat was coming down his back, Chu Heng would easily mistake His Majesty for the imperial army, most of the reasons were on him.Yun Fei's palms were sweating, and he said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, calm down, Chu Heng made an unintentional mistake..."

Xie Chu also hurriedly pleaded: "Your Majesty, Chu Heng has just arrived at the Hall of Martial Heroes, and he hasn't..."

"Commander Xie, when you reported to me some time ago, you said that the second son of Zhong Pinghou's mansion performed mediocrely in the assessment..." Ling Ye interrupted him, his eyes were serious, he focused on Chu Heng, and his tone was uncharacteristic. Extraordinarily cold: "I think he is very patient."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Chu's heart immediately rose to his throat, and as expected——

Ling Ye looked down at Chu Heng expressionlessly, and said coldly, "Twenty sticks."
