Chapter 104 Ten Princes’ Palace 2
Tiqi, the elegant name of Jinyiwei.It wouldn't be too scary if it was an ordinary Jinyiwei patrol camp. They patrol the streets on weekdays, see each other without looking up, and have business dealings with each other.

But not all Jinyiwei can be called Tiqi. This term is usually used to refer to the Jinyiwei in special departments. They do not wear ordinary blue cloth clothes, but all wear red cloth armor and round helmets. The goose feathers on the top of the helmets are also bright red.

This kind of royal guards do not need to hunt bandits on the streets, nor do they arrest imperial prisoners. They have only one job, to protect the emperor or empress when they travel.At this moment, there is almost no possibility of the Queen leaving the palace, so only the Emperor is left.

"You still want to run away? You are confused, kneel down quickly to greet the driver... Mistress, you are stupid, you don't want to take your knees anymore, back up and find a soft place on the roadside to kneel down, don't look up, be careful of the guy eating!"

As the ancients say, old people are always treacherous. Although Lao Liang had never been so close to the emperor, after all, he had eaten salt for 20 more years. He quickly thought about the pros and cons and made the right decision.The patrolmen with a sentry all knelt down on the roadside, and what was even more cunning was that they deliberately took half a step back to avoid the hard stones.

This time Lao Liang guessed correctly again. The people coming were indeed Tiqi, and they came from more than one direction. There were large teams in the south and west.If he had tried to run just now, he would have bumped head-on into the team to the west. It would be difficult to make up lies again.

"Have you ever seen the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department?" Despite the grand ostentation, Tiqi was not too harsh on the soldiers of the patrol camp. He actually got off his horse when he spoke, and his voice was relatively calm.

"...The younger ones have been waiting here after dark. Except for the distinguished guests from the palace, they have never seen anyone else." Before the whistle could answer, Lao Liang interrupted again, with a very sincere expression. Just believable.

"Damn you idiot, you can't handle this! Don't move around, let alone make noises. You still have a moment to burn incense. Let's go find something soft to cushion ourselves. When the honor guard arrives, we all line up and kneel by the roadside. Be steady, listen less, watch less, and just endure it for a while."

The two Jinyi guards walked around the area holding their waist knives, but found nothing unusual. However, they saw where everyone in the patrol camp was kneeling, and a hint of sneer appeared on their lips.

This little trick has not been hidden, but everyone is a soldier, so as long as it does not violate the rules and does not cause trouble for oneself, it is still okay to mention a few words.

Where to find something soft and cushiony? The soldiers really figured it out. They took out the blankets from under the saddles and folded them into thin strips, one for three people, and covered them with cloth armor. As long as they didn't walk too close, they couldn't see it.

"Master Liang, come here, you are old enough to support me." The whistle's little heart was about to jump out. He was very grateful to Lao Liang for his advice and unfolded the blanket that he alone was holding on to make it thicker. It won't hurt your knees too much even if you kneel for a long time.

"Don't kneel down in a hurry. The Tiqi are just here to serve as outposts. There will definitely be others behind them. It won't be too late to kneel down when you see the Han general with a golden helmet." Lao Liang did not refuse and moved to the side. Side by side with the whistle.

But he did not kneel, but sat on the blanket. He also waved to the soldiers on the right, indicating that everyone should get up and sit first. He was very knowledgeable about when to kneel and when to be lazy.

"Master Liang, the emperor is really coming!" With Lao Liang's calmness, the nervousness of the soldiers was somewhat relieved, and then they couldn't control the gossip in their hearts and began to inquire in a low voice.

"Can this still be fake?" Lao Liang was very disdainful of this kind of question that lowered his IQ, and pouted at the straight-standing Jin Yiwei across the street.

"Have you seen the emperor?" Even though it was a patrol camp that wandered around the capital all day long, no one among the soldiers present had seen the emperor, not even from a distance.The reason is very simple. The emperor has nothing to do and doesn't go out for a walk. Even if he wants to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, he has to arrange a route in advance. Everyone has to avoid the roads along the way and there is no chance to see it.

"When the late emperor passed away, I had the good fortune to see him once when I followed Mr. Liu to clear the place in the north of the city." Not to mention that he had no chance, this young Liang had seen the emperor escort the coffin to the imperial mausoleum.

"What does our Majesty look like?" Well, when he said he had seen him before, someone immediately asked him again.

"Go away, you motherfucker! If I could see His Majesty's true appearance, I would have to patrol with you guys all day long. At least I would have a thousand households!" This question is a good deal for Lao Liang. He didn't see the emperor either, but he only saw the emperor's support, which was still a hundred meters away.

"Master Liang, it's a little strange. Why didn't any of the powerful men and women I see on the street show up today?"

Different from the gossip of ordinary soldiers, what Jianshao cared about was not what the emperor looked like, but more about the faces of batches of royal guards. He hoped to meet an acquaintance, but unfortunately he couldn't see any of them after searching for a long time.

"Master Shao, from now on, you should go out less to eat and drink, and pay more attention to your own errands. This is one of the five most elite positions in Jinyiwei. Guard inside.

The warriors and fans we saw were all from the six thousand-household offices of Shangzhong, Shangqian, Shangrear, Shangleft, Shangright, and Middle and back. I'm afraid they couldn't even touch the edge of the imperial city. "

Although Jian Shao was his immediate superior, Lao Liang did not save any face and taught him a lesson in front of all the soldiers.He is old and has little chance of climbing up, but these juniors can still work hard, but they cannot hang around all day and must strengthen their business capabilities.

Having seen it is better than never seeing it, just like what Lao Liang said. Waves of Jin Yiwei followed, almost searching all the nearby streets. They were sent wherever there were doors and intersections. Guarded by people.

For a time, the streets around the Tenth Prince's Mansion were surrounded by guards wearing red cloth armor. Under the reflection of the red lanterns, the whole person seemed to be red, and there was a sense of majesty against the dark night and the red wall background. And weird.

I don’t know if it was agreed upon, but just as the Jin Yiwei here completed their investigation, another group of people came from the south.Different from the previous Jin Yiwei, the lanterns they carried were golden, the armor they wore was also golden, and the various long weapons they held in their hands were also golden.

The contingent of General Jinyiwei arrived. They were almost exactly the same height, short, fat, and thin. The horses were also of the same breed and color. They walked smoothly and uniformly.

There are more than a dozen rows in front and a dozen rows in the back. There is a pony chariot drawn by four black horses in the middle. Dozens of eunuchs wearing flat caps are walking left and right, carrying or carrying boxes of various sizes. Paint box.

What is puzzling is that there are three of the same teams, all of which are small chariots guarded by Han generals, and are also followed by dozens of eunuchs holding utensils. It is not clear which chariot the emperor is in.
