In the afternoon of that day, there was a small Tang Army camp in a gap between small mountains to the east of Lingwu City. It seemed that the Tang Army was well-trained and abiding by military discipline.
Four horses came from the direction of Lingwu City. Because they were surrounded by grasslands, they were spotted by the sentry post of this military camp very early. When they saw that the leader was Lieutenant Li Zheng of Jiedu Mansion, they I felt relieved. Although he has not been in the Shuofang Army for a long time, it can be said that Li Zheng is also well-known in their Shuofang. Not only is he very skilled, he is also a good person, and he also pays close attention to military discipline, which makes many people admire him.
However, Wang Zhongsi has not yet decided which army he will be assigned to, so he has been active in Jiedu Mansion and has not gone to the military camp.
"Brother Ye, although Wang Shuai has made you the leader of the team, the brothers in the scout camp are all elites selected from various armies. They are very capable and arrogant. To be their leader, you have to obey the crowd. . If I guess correctly, after your appointment is announced later, there will definitely be people in the team you belong to who will challenge you. You can’t get angry and accidentally beat them to death. Others don’t know. I But you know, although these guys are all elites, they are really noobs compared to you. You have to be gentler later. It was not easy for me to be officially appointed as the captain of the scout camp. If you are out of I can't bear the responsibility for Wang Shuai or you." Seeing that the camp was approaching, Li Zheng said worriedly to Ye Qingcheng beside him.
If it were normal, how could Ye Qingcheng care about a mere school captain? But now Li Zheng is his boss. Even though their skills are very different, the difference in status cannot be changed now. These brothers in the scout camp may obey him Li Zheng, but they may not necessarily obey him. Ye Qingcheng. In addition, Ye Qingcheng was still a mere outsider and suddenly started working in the team, while Li Zheng had been guarding the border for so many years and only then climbed to the position of captain. This in itself was not very fair.
Huan Chenyu followed them with a gloomy face. Bai Quan looked at his face and was a little frightened. He thought that if Huan Chenyu got angry later, he would have to stop him and not let him do anything bad. Ye Qingcheng's reputation and future. Although they will return to the world of cultivation sooner or later, it will not be now. As spiritual beasts, the two of them have the responsibility to elevate Ye Qingcheng to a high position.
"Brother Chenyu, don't lose your temper for a while and affect the envoy's important affairs." He said in a low voice.
Now, after all, they are not cultivators. No matter how low their voices are, people with good ears can still hear them. For example, Li Zheng, this is not the first time that he heard them secretly calling Ye Qingcheng the envoy. In today's Tang Dynasty, This title is not uncommon, but when applied to a wanderer like Ye Qingcheng, it is really a bit nondescript.
Even though he vaguely guessed that Ye Qingcheng was Ye Sanlang, and it was confirmed by Wang Zhongsi himself, Ye Sanlang had only been to Yushi Zhongcheng at the highest level, and he only had supervisory powers in name only, and held the real power in Chaozhong Yushitaili. The censor Zhongcheng is incomparable. In fact, if you think about it, you can clearly understand that Ye Qingcheng was able to arouse such a big response among the people before. It is undoubtedly a hidden threat to the royal family. Coupled with the actions of the people, isn't it just saying that the current imperial court is corrupt? Corrupt officials are rampant, and the emperor has neglected his employment?
Emperor Xuanzong's action against Ye Sanlang was inevitable. Anyone who was smart could see it, and no one would pity him. Ye Sanlang didn't have any friends in the court. Even Li Linfu only tried to win over him symbolically and had no other intentions. Most of the other officials came from well-established families. In today's society where the family concept is deeply rooted, although the same He was from a noble family, but as a descendant of the Ye family branch of Chang'an, Ye Qingcheng was basically looked down upon by those high-ranking officials, so his suicide did not cause any turmoil. Although the people were very angry at the time, as time passed, Ye Sanlang's name was gradually forgotten.
But now, these two people still call him envoy? What is this...
Just when he was full of questions, the horses of the four of them had already arrived in front of the camp gate. A pair of sentries holding long poles immediately stepped forward and blocked their way with long poles.
"Colonel Li, according to regulations, horses are not allowed in the camp. Captain Li has always maintained strict military discipline. Please understand the difficulties of the brothers." One of them said.
"Brother Ye, look..." Li Zheng gestured to Ye Qingcheng.
"It's okay, Chen Yu, Bai Quan, dismount. Since we are all from the scout camp from now on, we must abide by the regulations in the army." Ye Qingcheng nodded, turned over and dismounted, and Li Zheng and others also dismounted with him. .
This made the two sentries guarding the camp gate suddenly curious. Even the sentries on the sentry tower craned their necks to look. Early in the morning, they received a message from Fei Ge, saying that Li Zheng was coming to serve as their scout. The captain of the battalion didn't know whether to be happy or worried. Fortunately, the previous captain was finally transferred. Although he served as the leader of the most elite unit of the Shuofang Army, he was a guy who relied on connections to get to the top. He had no ability at all. Fortunately, he spent a lot of time in the past few days. Qian found his backer in Chang'an, moved up a level, and disappeared, taking several close associates with him, which made the brothers in the scout camp happy. In recent days, they have been discussing every day who will replace that guy to lead them. Today, Wang Shuai has already chosen Li Zheng. They are quite convinced of Li Zheng. They are also worried that he is too strict. First, if you accidentally break any military regulations, then you still have to have all your money deducted?
But today they saw that Li Zheng was very respectful to the three people who came with him. Not to mention Li Zheng was wearing a Tang Army uniform. Although the other three were not wearing coarse linen clothes, they were wearing clothes made of ordinary cloth. The clothes don't look like they belong to a wealthy person.
Today's report also said that in addition to Li Zheng, a new captain would be appointed to replace the captain of the sixth team who had been transferred along with the previous captain. He looked very ordinary. Why did Li Zheng treat him like this? Respectfully.
However, these were temporarily forgotten by them. They saw the two sentries stepping forward to greet Li Zheng, looking like old friends they hadn't seen for a long time.
"Li Xiaowei, to tell you the truth, a few days ago we brothers were still guessing. This Shuofang army is so big, who is qualified to lead the brothers? I said at that time: 'Except Li Zheng and Xiao Li Lieutenant, who can submit?' No, I received a notice today that you will come to lead the brothers in the scout camp. Everyone is looking forward to your arrival."
"Humph, I'm afraid I'm even more scared." Li Zheng said with a smile.
