Daqian deposed the crown prince, and the emperor begged him to stop rebelling

Chapter 83 A good man should not die in the mouth of a poisonous snake

Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Camp.

On the high platform, Murong Liancheng stood with his head held high, his back straight like an unshakable flag.

In the sunlight, although his hair and beard have turned gray, he is still vigorous and his eyes are still sharp.

Looking at the group of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry below, Murong Liancheng had a solemn expression on his face, and he looked intimidating without even getting angry.

boom!
He shook the iron spear in his hand and said loudly:
"Li Mu, captain of the army, get in line!"

Following an order, Li Mu, dressed in black armor, walked to the position of the captain in the front row of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Shen Pingan and Wang Bing then joined the ranks of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

After the three of them went deep into the desert and fought side by side, everyone in Tiangu Pass knew that Wang Bing and Shen Pingan were Li Mu's brothers, so there was no way Li Mu would keep them in the death row camp.

Although Shen Ping'an and Wang Bing's martial arts skills were not up to par, it was not difficult for them to be admitted to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry as an exception due to their great achievements in going deep into the desert and killing the barbarian king Wugutu.

However, he was an ordinary Tiger and Leopard Knight.

Don't even think about what it looks like.

After all, even Xie Lang can only serve as a squad leader beside Li Mu now, and he is a warrior at the seventh level of warrior realm!
Wang Bing and Shen Pingan didn't care.

Compared to being an official, being able to safely join the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and still follow Li Mu was already a great joy.

What kind of bike do you want?

Li Mu, clad in iron armor, stood solemnly at the front of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Most of the soldiers in this Tiger and Leopard Cavalry team of 100 were the ones who participated in the night attack on the barbarian camp that day.

Looking at their new captain, the soldiers had complicated expressions in their eyes.

Xie Lang, who had been demoted to the position of chief, stood behind Li Mu with a calm expression and said nothing.

"Li Mu, the Hundred Leader!"

Murong Liancheng shouted an order.

Li Mu then raised his head and chest, took a step forward, and responded loudly:

"exist!"

Murong Liancheng glanced at him and said:
"I don't care what your past status was or what achievements you made before joining the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but once you join the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, you must remember this!"

At this point, his voice rose several degrees, becoming sonorous and powerful, like the sound of iron and stone:

"Once you join the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, you are all brothers in life and death, regardless of your status or position!"

"We live and die together, and we fight the enemy together!"

"Yes!"

Li Mu responded loudly, neither humble nor arrogant.

Murong Liancheng nodded with satisfaction:
"You are new to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Do you know the military rules?"

Li Mu immediately read aloud:

"I, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, do not support cowards and nameless people, let alone idle and foolish people!"

"Join our Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and leave the camp for training as soon as the fourth watch drum sounds. You must not miss the two drills in the morning and after lunch. You must go to bed after the first watch drum after dinner. Anyone who violates this will be punished with twenty military sticks!"

"Every day's meals are provided by the people through frugality, and no waste is allowed. Anyone who wastes money will be fined one month's salary!"

"The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was founded by Emperor Taizu. It represents the national strength and military style of Daqian. All officers and soldiers must be neat and tidy. If anyone's clothes are not in order or their armor is damaged, they will be punished with thirty military sticks!"

"Weapons and arrows are the sharp tools for killing enemies and saving lives. They must be cherished and maintained diligently. If weapons are damaged or lost due to poor maintenance, the punishment will be 20 military sticks at the least, or beheading at the worst!"

"All our Tiger and Leopard Cavalry officers and soldiers must be brave and move forward when encountering an enemy. Anyone who retreats in fear will be killed!"

"..."

Li Mu's voice was clear and every word was sonorous and powerful. In a short while, he had recited all twenty military regulations of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Shen Pingan and Wang Bing couldn't help but show admiration in their eyes when they heard him reciting the military regulations.

They had just joined the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and had not yet read the twenty military regulations.
And Li Mu could actually recite it backwards!

Who would have thought that General Murong would actually order the students to recite military regulations on the first day of entering the camp? Fortunately, Li Mu memorized them so well!
Only after Li Mu finished reciting did Murong Liancheng nod.

"Captain Li Mu, you have memorized the military regulations well, join the ranks!"

"Yes!"

Li Mu agreed and returned to his position. Beside him, all the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry officers and soldiers looked at him with a hint of kindness.

Just joining the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry does not mean they are comrades in arms.

People like Li Mu, who can recite the twenty military regulations by heart and exude a heroic and brave spirit, are the brothers in their minds who are worthy of the position of captain!

Murong Liancheng stood on the stage and shook his iron spear again:
"Boys, let's practice!"

Following his order, Li Mu, like all the Tiger and Leopard Knights, raised his spear and rushed forward with all his might, following the old general on the platform.

"kill!"

Thousands of people said in unison.

When the shout was uttered, it was filled with murderous intent and shook the sky!

……

After the drill, Murong Liancheng put away his spear, paused it at his feet, raised his arms and shouted:

"Daqian Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"

Thousands of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry shouted in unison:
"Invincible!"

The old general glanced at the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry officers and soldiers below, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

This is a sharp sword of Daqian. It must be sharpened from time to time to maintain its sharpness!

"Disband!"

"Yes!"

All the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry officers and soldiers immediately put away their spears and placed them all in the weapons rack.

Murong Liancheng turned and walked down the platform. He was about to go back to the camp to rest, but he saw Li Mu walking up to him, clasping his fists and bowing deeply, saying:

"Thank you for your help this time, General!"

Li Mu had deep respect for this veteran who had devoted his life to the country, so he was very respectful in his etiquette.

Murong Liancheng smiled faintly:
"A good man should not die in the mouth of a poisonous snake. If he must die, he should die on the way to charge!"

"I'm not helping you, I'm helping Daqian!"

After saying this, he glanced at Li Mu and said:
"Remember, once you join the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, you are no longer the deposed crown prince, but Li Mu, the Hundred Commander!"

"Tomorrow is the biweekly day off, you can have a drink with your comrades!"

Li Mu knew that he was reminding him to forget his identity as the deposed crown prince and to integrate into the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry more quickly, so he nodded and agreed.

Murong Liancheng then smiled faintly, turned and left.

Li Mu watched the other party leave, then turned around and walked back to his own camp.

Xie Lang, with a calm expression, was packing up his guns, seemingly unperturbed by the reduction in his status.

At this time, Li Mu walked up to him, clasped his fists and said:
"Thanks to Brother Xie for helping me last time!"

Xie Lang glanced at Li Mu's waist.

But he saw that the long sword he had given him was gone, and instead he had a short sword less than two feet long tied around his waist.

Li Mu saw his eyes and smiled:
"It's a pity that the long sword was lost when I was killing Wu Gutu in the battle. I feel so ashamed of thanking you for giving it to me!"

Xie Lang said calmly:

"It is worth it to be able to help Brother Li and kill the enemy chieftain!"

Although the two did not talk enthusiastically, their eyes were full of mutual appreciation when they smiled at each other.

"What a pity, Brother Xie has been demoted to a lesser position..."

Xie Lang shook his head and smiled faintly:
"It is enough for me to be able to stay in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry as a squad leader! What will happen if the scoundrels take over the city? I am afraid that Brother Li..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a horseman galloping in the distance, and the knight on the horse shouted from afar:
"Report!"

"Factory Master Cao Guang will arrive at Tiangu Pass in one day with the imperial edict. Order Tiangu Pass Commander Li Si, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Commander Murong Liancheng, and Captain Li Mu to receive the edict!"

Hearing the messenger's shout, Li Mu, Xie Lang and others were stunned.

It came so fast!
