"Your Excellency, Captain. There is someone who claims to be an old friend of your Excellency and is seeking to see you outside."
A soldier came over in a hurry, bent down and said to Long Qie, clasping his fists.
"Old friends?" Long Qie frowned. He had quite a few old friends. Then he asked: "Didn't you say who it was?"
"No." The soldier shook his head and replied.
"It's a bit weird to hide your head and show your tail." Long Qie's eyebrows furrowed deeply, but since the other party claimed to be an old friend, it wouldn't be a good idea not to see him.
"Please go to the big tent."
"yes."
The soldier responded, turned around and walked down quickly.
"Keep training, don't slack off." Long Qie raised the horse in his hand, shouted again, and then rode back to the big tent.
The soldiers came forward and helped Long Qie take away the horses and horses.
"Someone will come over later, you don't have to stop him." Long Qie said, entered the tent and sat on the Grand Master's chair.
Shortly after.
The footsteps came as promised. Then a tall and handsome young man walked in from the outside. He was wearing a black gown and a black hat. He looked elegant.
student!
"What kind of madman dares to pretend to be an old friend of mine?" Long Qie was not surprised at all, his face darkened and he scolded.
"Da da da!!" A group of soldiers heard the wind and pulled out the steel knives at their waists. They filed in and surrounded the young man.
The young man showed no fear on his face and calmly raised his hand to Long Qie and said with a smile: "Captain Long. We are friends. New friends gradually become old friends. Don't they?"
Wu Nian's brothers.
Li Yong is the oldest and calmer.
Tieniu and his gang are all idiots.
Only Long Qie has experienced a lot and the city is relatively deep. He took a deep look at the young man, smiled, waved his hand, and said, "You're right. Everyone, go down. Wait until I call you, then come in and chop him into pieces."
"Yes." The soldiers responded, sheathed their swords one after another, glared at the young man, and left aggressively.
The young man was very brave, but when he heard the words "chop into meat sauce", his face trembled.
This is absolutely no joke.
In front of him was a brave general who stepped out from the sea of swords and blood and had a serious fight with the Meng Yuan people. He killed people without blinking an eye.
But because of this, if this person can be used... it will be of great benefit to the court.
"Let's be honest. Who are you? Why are you pretending to be my old friend?" Long Qie held the Taishi chair with both hands, leaned back, sat with his hips slightly stretched, and went straight to the road.
The young man did not answer immediately, but came to sit on the Taishi chair on the right side of Long Qie. Then he raised his hands and said in a low voice: "I am a staff member of General Xiong, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Pass. My surname is Xu Minggai."
After saying that, Xu Gai shut up and stared at Long Qie's expression with his eyes.
This is the first step.
A smart person should understand.
Needless to say.
If the first step fails, there is no need to go further.
Long Qie's expression changed slightly, his eyes flickered, and he felt a huge wave of terror in his heart.
Someone from the imperial court sent someone to contact me?
Divorce? incite defection?
Yes.
Yes.
I heard that an angel from the court arrived at Beishan Castle, but the deputy disappeared for no reason.
Although I don't know what the situation is, the only one who can do such a thing is the general.
The general and the court did not deal with each other.
Although his heart was filled with panic, Long Qie quickly calmed down on his face. He also whispered: "I have never met General Xiong. What did he send you to do?"
"With Captain Long's talents, wouldn't it be a pity to be ranked below Wu Nian?"
What Xu Gai feared most was that Long Qie would kill him with a knife, or tie him up and send him to Wu Nian. Seeing Long Qie's reaction, he felt relieved. He smiled and said, "Please forgive me for being rude."
Immediately, he stretched out his left hand and dug into his right sleeve. He took out a gold book and a piece of paper. He then reached into his arms and took out a square object wrapped in red cloth that looked like a seal.
After taking out all the things, Xu Gai stepped forward respectfully, lifted them up and handed them to Long Qie. Said: "I heard that Captain Long is poor. This is a gift from General Xiong to Captain Long's family."
"And this seal and gold book are the imperial court's decree to confer the rank of third-grade guerrilla general."
After finishing speaking, Xu Gai stood up straight with a smile, returned to the Taishi chair and sat down, looking up at Long Qie.
Long Qie's eyes flickered for a moment, and then his breathing became rapid. I couldn't wait to open the gift list and look at it. There were Dongzhu, agate, jade, etc., which were all priceless and easy to hide.
There is also a beautiful woman and three beautiful maids.
I opened the gold book again and saw that it was said to be a gold book, but it was actually a yellow book. It's clearly written on it.
The imperial edict conferred the title of Long Qi as a guerrilla general, and the Minister of War and the left and right ministers signed the signature.
There are two military systems in Chu State.
The highest officer in the guard system is the third-grade commander.
The guard station is responsible for local defense, and its sources of troops come from military households.
Another set is the recruitment system. The sources of troops can be of various kinds. Their role is to put down rebellions and go wherever there is war.
This is probably the difference between field soldiers and defense soldiers.
Xiong Wuwo, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, belongs to the second military system.
The same goes for guerrilla generals from the third level.
In other words, the current Long Qie has theoretically become Xiong Wuwo's general.
Long Qie's breathing became more and more rapid, and his face turned red.
Seeing his performance, Xu Gai was immediately reassured and his face became relaxed.
As expected, he is a rough guy who has never seen the world. A third-grade guerrilla general, plus expensive gifts and beauties, is enough to make someone like Long Qie sway.
As long as the court holds this knife, it can be inserted into Wu Nian's heart at a critical moment. Turn the foundation of Beishan Fort into your own.
Recover Liaodong in one fell swoop and drive away the Mongolians.
Long Qie's breathing gradually calmed down. Xu Gai smiled slightly, cupped his hands and asked, "The court's sincerity and the general's sincerity are all obvious. What do Captain Long think?"
Long Qie put down the gold book, seal, and gift list, then raised his left hand first, and then his right hand, with his palm facing up, and said: "Official position, generous gifts. It's really hot to the touch."
Xu Gai looked happy and was about to speak.
Long Qie then said: "I probably understand what you mean. But Wu Nian and I are brothers. We have been friends for eight times and have gone through life and death together. We need more money!"
Xu Gai was caught off guard and his face was full of shock. But he quickly stood up and said cheerfully: "Okay. I understand what Lieutenant Long means. I will convey it to the general immediately."
Not long after.
Xu Gai was sent away by Long Qie's soldiers.
Of course the gifts, beauties, and maidservants were left behind.
The seal and gold book of a third-grade guerrilla general were also left behind.
Long Qie opened the red cloth, revealing a golden square seal. He put it in the palm of his hand, held it up in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.
"The imperial court, the imperial court. You really treat me well."
Immediately, Long Qie threw the seal into the furnace in front. The gilding quickly melted, exposing the brass underneath.
Long Qie sneered and shouted: "Here comes someone. Prepare to guard. I'm going to Beishan Fort."
Wealth, silk and official position are attractive.
But how can friendship be measured by money and official position?
No.
Some people may think that friendship can be bought.
But I, Long Qie, am definitely not that kind of person.
brother.
No matter how much money you add, you can't sell it out.
