In the morning, Lu Chen had breakfast and strolled to the camp of the Beiwei soldiers with his dog Liu Jing as usual. At this time, these soldiers were completing one of the training tasks in the "training manual" created by Lu Chen—— Five kilometers run.
Looking at the team running and shouting slogans, Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction. Apparently after a period of training, the steps of carrying Wei soldiers were basically consistent. The slogan was also very loud: "If you don't practice martial arts well, it doesn't count as carrying." Wei Bing!"
This slogan was naturally made up by Lu Chen, and he shouted it loudly.
Seeing the mental outlook of these soldiers, Lu Chen was very satisfied and led Liu Jing into the barracks.
Sitting on the troops station in the military camp, looking at the soldiers who were still running in circles, Lu Chen saw a group of people entering the Detachment of Women's Army camp with banners waving.
"Huh?" The location of the Beiwei Army camp is on the hillside halfway away from the military camp. Standing at the camp, you can overlook the Detachment of Women's Army camp. It is precisely because of this that the slogans shouted by the Beiwei Army can float into the Detachment of Women Army, so this The troops waving their flags easily caught Lu Chen's attention.
"Meng Ji!" Lu Chen called out to Meng Ji loudly. Meng Ji, who was training with the team, heard the military advisor calling him and hurriedly replied "here", then ran over and gave Lu Chen a military salute, and this Naturally, Lu Chen ordered the military ceremony according to the military standards of later generations.
"Lao Meng, do you know what that team is doing?" Lu Chen asked, pointing to the team entering the Detachment of Women's Army camp down the mountain.
"Which team?" Meng Ji has been leading the team to train, so he couldn't pay attention to these things. However, when he looked in the direction Lu Chen pointed, he noticed the team. After carefully identifying it, he said, "Look at Lu Chen." Said: "Looking at the style of the flag, it should be someone from the palace! I'm afraid they are here to read out the imperial edict!"
Meng Ji had seen this kind of team before, and it was not the first time that a team came to announce a decree, so Meng Ji recognized the team's origin at a glance.
"Oh?" When he heard that it was a team coming from the palace to announce the decree, Lu Chen immediately became interested. "Are all those who announced the decree eunuchs?" Lu Chen asked Meng Ji excitedly. In the past, only in TV or movies Having met eunuchs, this time he could see them alive, and how he actually proclaimed the imperial edict, Lu Chen couldn't help but be a little excited.
"They should be all of them! Anyway, all the people I have seen come to announce the decree are eunuchs!" Meng Ji didn't know why his military advisor was so excited when he heard the word "eunuch", but when he thought of the "Eunuch" in the "Silkworm House" a few days ago, "Eunuch Incident", Meng Ji suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. Could it be that his military advisor had some complex feelings for the "eunuch"?
"Then I have to go take a look! Let's go! Dog! I'll take you to see something new!" After hearing Meng Ji's words, Lu Chen didn't care about Meng Ji anymore, waved directly to Liu Jing, and walked quickly outside the military camp. As he walked away, Liu Jing hurriedly followed.
Seeing Lu Chen's excited departure, Meng Ji suddenly felt a chill under his crotch and couldn't help but shudder. He quickly shook his head as if to get rid of his terrible thoughts.
By the time Lu Chen brought Liu Jing to the military camp, the process of receiving the imperial edict had already begun. Naturally, the incense case was placed first. Li Xiuning and the eunuch who announced the edict stood opposite each other across the incense case. Except for Li Xiuning, the others followed Li Xiuning. All the people were kneeling on the ground.
The reason why Li Xiuning could stand to receive the order was because of the power given to Li Xiuning by Li Yuan: "If you go up to the palace, you will not bow, and when you go down, you will not say goodbye. If you beat the horse in the palace, kill it first and then report it!"
Lu Chen appeared right behind the eunuch who announced the decree. Lu Chen waved his folding fan and looked curiously at the eunuch who was holding the yellow scroll of the imperial edict. He glanced at the imperial edict in the eunuch's hand, only to find that he couldn't understand the classical Chinese written on it!
Li Xiuning almost laughed when she saw Lu Chen's curious look, but she could only hold it in because she had never seen anyone behave like this like Lu Chen.
At this time, the eunuch was in the middle of announcing the decree, and suddenly a man appeared next to him, waving a folding fan in his hand. It was strange enough that he was still waving a folding fan in such a cold weather, but this man was still peeping around him and shrinking his head. , immediately stopped, and the imperial edict could not be read smoothly, but he could not stop. If he stopped at this time, it would be a great disrespect to the emperor, and Li Xiuning could kill him on the spot.
The other people kneeling behind Li Xiuning were all amused by the curious baby-like behavior of their own military advisor and tried hard to hold back their laughter. From the eunuch's perspective, you could see that the group of people kneeling behind Li Xiuning, at this time They all shrugged their shoulders.
After a long time, the eunuch who announced the edict finally finished reading the edict, and with Li Xiuning saying: "My lord, Li Xiuning, I accept the edict and thank you!" Then he took the edict with both hands, and the edict was deemed to have been read out.
At this time, the eunuch who announced the decree turned to look at Lu Chen who was standing aside. After seeing Lu Chen clearly, especially Lu Chen's unique hairstyle, his eyes flashed and he shouted angrily in a high-pitched voice: "Who are you? Why don't you kneel when ordered to do so? Are you doing such an arrogant thing? Could it be that you want to rebel? Come on! Capture this person who disrespects the saint and is plotting rebellion!"
As the eunuch's voice fell, the guards who followed the eunuch drew their swords and surrounded Lu Chen. Several people came directly towards Lu Chen, preparing to capture Lu Chen on the spot.
"Stop!" Just when a group of guards surrounded Lu Chen, Li Xiuning directly stopped him.
"Your Highness Princess Pingyang, this person has no saints in his eyes. He is a culprit and a troublemaker. He should be taken down and punished as a warning to others!" the eunuch who announced the decree said in a high-pitched voice towards Li Xiuning and cupped his hands. He looked quite arrogant.
"This is my military advisor. I want to see which of you dares to take action!" Li Xiuning saw the eunuch's arrogant look and immediately became angry. "The military advisor is an outsider. He doesn't know the red tape. It's normal. The so-called ignorant people No wonder, my father-in-law is shouting to be beaten and killed without asking the reason. Could it be that he doesn't take me seriously?" Li Xiuning raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the eunuch who announced the decree with displeasure.
Hearing Li Xiuning's displeased expression and words, the people behind Li Xiuning directly surrounded the eunuch and the guards. The scene now is that the ones in the middle are Lu Chen and Liu Jing, whose legs were shaking with fear, and then Lu Lu Chen and Liu Jing formed a circle around the guards and eunuchs who announced the decree. The outermost circle was Li Xiuning and a group of generals, and everyone was facing each other like this.
"This..." When the eunuch who announced the decree saw this situation, he knew that if he insisted on capturing Lu Chen, he might not be able to get out of the Detachment of Women's Army camp alive. You must know that if Li Xiuning didn't die, she would be the most powerful princess in the world. Your Highness, and Li Yuan is extremely doting on the third princess of the Tang Dynasty. After all, in the world of Li Tang, this third princess has the most outstanding achievements in the dynasty. If the third princess directly cuts herself off, Li Yuan probably won’t even ask. ask.
He was just a eunuch, how could he be as important as his own accomplished princess, and this princess had the power to "kill first and report later". If the time came for him to just find an excuse, his death would be in vain.
Although when he came here, someone from the aristocratic family gave him a lot of money and asked him to find a way to kill this military advisor, but that was only on the premise of ensuring his own life. Now if he insists on killing Lu Chen, he is afraid that those of his Money means life is earned but life is spent.
The eyes of the eunuch who announced the decree rolled around twice in his eye sockets, and then he raised his hand and smiled apologetically at Li Xiuning: "My servant does not know that this person is your highness's military advisor. Since he is the military advisor, he who does not know is not guilty!" Don’t put your weapons away!”
After hearing the eunuch's words, all the guards obediently sheathed their swords.
At this moment, a rough voice sounded outside the military camp door: "Ouch! What's going on? How can you declare a decree and declare a full martial arts practice? Let us, Lao Cheng, see what's going on?" With the sound of horse hooves, A maroon war horse ran in from the camp gate.
As the war horse approached, a "whisper" was heard. The horse stood still and rolled down a general. This man was tall, half a head taller than Lu Chen. He was wearing a military uniform, without a helmet, and had a dark and honest face. , the beard on his face makes this man very brave, and on the side of the maroon horse's bird-wing ring is a horse spear with a cold light hanging on it.
This person quickly came to Li Xiuning, cupped his fists and saluted: "The last general Cheng Zhijie has met Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang!"
"You don't need to be polite to Mr. Su Guo!" Li Xiuning obviously knew Cheng Yaojin. He directly extended his hands to support him and looked at Cheng Yaojin with a warm smile on his face. "After seeing each other for so many years, Mr. Su Guo came to see you well!"
"Old Cheng, you ate well and slept well, so you're fine!" Cheng Yaojin smiled boldly, and even patted his chest, "This gang of people killed to offend His Highness?" Follow Cheng Yaojin turned his head to look at the eunuch who announced the decree and the guards. He glared. At the same time, he touched the sword hanging on his waist with his right hand. A murderous aura emerged spontaneously, which frightened the eunuch who announced the decree and took two steps back. Cheng Yaojin's intention was obvious. As long as Li Xiuning gave the order, Cheng Yaojin would just draw his sword and chop him.
At this time, Lu Lu, who was at the center of the crowd, was curiously looking up and down at this "lucky general" who had been passed down through the ages. Cheng Yaojin's face was obviously different from what the storytellers of later generations said.
As for the eunuch who announced the decree, there was a conflict between two people at this time. He regretted taking the treasure of that family. At the same time, he did not expect that his trip to announce the decree would actually offend Princess Pingyang and Duke Su Guo at the same time.
After all, he was just a eunuch who announced the decree. The reason why he took the job of getting rid of Lu Chen was just because the treasure attracted people's attention. He thought that he was also an eunuch who announced the decree and a mere military advisor. Even though he was a military advisor, he didn't even have a real official title. No, he could just say a few words in front of the third princess and it would be settled. But now the situation is obvious, and he thinks simply.
