There seemed to be faint discussions outside the camp, which made Vice President Xue very puzzled, staring at Ximen Lei Zang and asked: "Captain Ximen, what's going on outside the tent, why are you making so much noise?"

Ximen Lei Zang hesitated for a while, and finally stepped forward two steps: "My lord, outside the tent are soldiers talking about the winter armor."

"What about the winter armor?" Xue Poye frowned, thinking of the dozens of carts he saw in the arsenal when he came earlier, wasn't it just unloading the winter armor.What could be wrong?So he asked, "What happened? The number of winter armors is wrong?"

Ximen Leizang's eyes flickered, as if there was something hard to hide. Seeing Xue Poye staring at him, it seemed that he couldn't hide it, and said truthfully: "My lord, this is the case. The total number of winter armors awarded by the household department this time is [-] yuan." Vice, the number is correct, but there is something wrong with the winter armor itself."

"question?"

"Yes." Ximen Leizang pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "According to the Ministry of Household Affairs, more than half of the cowhide from the national treasury was made into the armor of the Beizhen Army and shipped to the border, so there is a shortage of cowhide, but we still use it for our Habayashi Camp. First, seven thousand pairs of winter armors were produced in a hurry, but... hey, among them, two thousand pairs lacked a layer of armor cowhide, and only had a single layer of armor. The Chief Guard distributed all these two thousand pairs of winter armors to In our Fenghuo camp, the officers and soldiers were a little dissatisfied and complained outside."

Xue Poye leaned on the big leopard-skin chair, frowned and said, "Single-layer armor? Two thousand pairs? You mean all two thousand pairs of single-layer armor will be distributed to my Fenghuo Camp?"

Ximen Leizang nodded.

"The Xiulin camp and the Taiji camp both have double armor?" Xue Poye asked while rubbing his nose, his eyes were already full of anger.

Ximen Leizang replied: "My lord, the other two battalions are equipped with double-layer armor. Only our Fenghuo battalion has been assigned single-layer armor. It is precisely because of this that the subordinates will not be reconciled."

Zhao Tianda couldn't help saying loudly: "This... this is really bullying."

Gong Yangyue squinted her eyes and said nothing, and the other school captains also whispered, looking very dissatisfied.

Xue Poye touched his nose and said indifferently: "Why did Mr. General Wei give all these winter armors to Fenghuoying? Can't they be divided equally?"

Ximen Leizang hesitated to speak, and Gongyangyue kept his mouth shut even more. The other generals saw that the captains were silent, so naturally they didn't dare to be the first birds, so the account fell silent for a while.

Xue Poye smiled faintly, and asked Zhao Tianda: "Captain Zhao, you seem to be hiding something from this general, we are already in the same boat, is there anything else to hide?"

Zhao Tianda glanced at the generals, gritted his teeth, and finally said: "Boss, to put it bluntly, they look down on me, Fenghuoying. In the past, they... they would not dare to do this."

When Xue Poye heard something in this guy's words, he was very puzzled and wanted to ask, but suddenly realized that Fenghuoying was Ding Yi's subordinate before.

When Ding Yi was alive, he was naturally majestic and majestic. The Eldest Princess went out and chose him as the commander of the guards, which had already shown his own ability and prestige. With the rain, life is very nourishing.

Xue Poye came here just now, and he has noticed that the Fenghuo camp is solemn and orderly everywhere, and the officers and soldiers are also very energetic, well-trained, and extremely powerful in combat. the next grade.

At that time, Xue Poye secretly sighed in his heart: "Although Ding Yi has gone astray, his methods of commanding troops are still good."

However, the prestige and glory of all this must have been before Ding Yi's death. Ding Yi unexpectedly became the real murderer of Liu Jin's assassination in Liuheyuan. Incorporated into the rebellious party, even after the eldest princess returned to Beijing, all Ding Yi's family servants were sent to prison immediately. After a few days, the palace issued a decree, Ding Yi punished the three clans, and more than 70 people went to France It can be regarded as a small confession to the dry prince.

This is something that just happened recently, and it can be regarded as a major event that has shaken the government and the public recently. The Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Kyoto Prefecture, and the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice seem to have intervened in this matter. They have been chasing down the real culprit behind Ding Yi's scenes. After investigation, they found nothing. .

Xue Poye acted like a mirror in his heart about this matter, using the two major spy agencies of Dachu and the criminal law department of Dachu to jointly investigate a matter, not to mention a living person, even ghosts and gods may be able to find it A little bit of clues, since everyone has no results, the reason is very simple. Of course, the instigator behind Ding Yi is naturally unwilling to investigate, or even dare not to investigate. In this matter, Ding Yi can only be used as a scapegoat.

Ding Yi was convicted and his reputation plummeted, which naturally had a huge impact on the Fenghuo camp. Although it was impossible to get connected to the Fenghuo camp, it would cause great damage to the reputation of the Fenghuo camp.

The leader of the Fenghuo camp had a different heart, which greatly violated the loyalty and tenet of Yu Linwei. This did not only embarrass Ding Yi alone, but affected the entire Fenghuo camp. In the hearts of the other two camps, Fenghuo camp Naturally, he lost all his face, and his status was invisibly lower than that of the other camp.

Gong Yangyue has been silent for a long time, and finally said at this time: "Endure it!"

The people of Fenghuoying know the current situation. Ding Yi's assassination has brought huge trauma to Fenghuoying, making the brothers unable to hold their heads up. Now the situation is stronger than others, not to mention that this is personally assigned by the chief guard. Can't stand it.

Several generals were filled with righteous indignation and helplessness.

Xue Poye pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Where is Lord Zongwei now?"

All the generals looked at each other, wondering why Xue Poye asked such a question?Could it be that the new deputy chief guard dared to caress the tiger's beard, and went to the chief guard to argue for the sake of the brothers' winter armor?

It must be known that the Yulin Camp has a strict hierarchy, and this matter of asking Mr. Zongwei to argue, even Ding Yi never happened when he was alive.

"Don't worry." Xue Poye laughed and said, "I'm just going to pay my respects to General Wei."

Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief. Thinking about it, the young Vice President Wei just took office, so how could he have the guts to argue with him?Everyone knows the majesty of the General Guard, and that is the same thing. What's more, if the position of the Chief Guard is not the absolute confidant of the Emperor, it is impossible to sit on it. Who dares to challenge the majesty of the Chief Guard? There is no good fruit to eat.

Ximen Leizang reported: "Master Zong Wei is usually in the Tai Chi Camp."

The Tai Chi camp was outside the west wall of the imperial palace, Xue Poye stood up, and ordered: "Prepare the horse, go to the Tai Chi camp." He picked up the deputy general guard amulet on the table, stuffed it into his bosom, and immediately left the tent.

Of course Fenghuo Camp has no shortage of horses. There are hundreds of horses in a racecourse, with fat waists and long legs. Although they are not as dazzling and powerful as Xue Poye's golden lion, they are all elite horses from the Great Chu Kingdom.

The Habayashi guard at the racecourse chose a tall horse for Xue Poye. Xue Poye got on the horse and found the feeling he hadn't seen for a long time. He felt a sense of relief all over his body. He ordered a Habayashi guard to ride another horse to lead the way. With a wave of his horsewhip, under the gaze of everyone, he left the Fenghuo camp in a chic and easy manner, and headed for the Taiji camp.

The horse galloped around the foot of the imperial wall and stepped on the smooth marble. The horse's hooves made a "clack" sound when they came into contact with the marble. Slowed down.

The camp of the Tai Chi Camp was larger than that of the Fenghuo Camp, and it seemed that the flags and banners were unfurled, and the patrolling soldiers came and went, ready for battle, always maintaining a high level of alert.

Anyone who has seen the Tai Chi Camp will definitely be sure without hesitation that if there is a change in the palace, a Habayashi guard who feels the palace must come from the Tai Chi Camp.

On the bright side, this is certainly due to the good management of the deputy general guard of the Tai Chi camp, but in private, anyone who understands knows that the real credit is the general guard of the Yubayashi camp.

Teng Xifeng, the Chief Guard of the Yulin Camp, was one of His Majesty's most trusted confidantes. He once even had a night of drinking with the Emperor. Everyone knew that Teng Xifeng was His Majesty's eyes, hands and feet in the Yulin Camp.

Teng Xifeng is not only loyal, but also a very talented person. Under his command, all the Yulin Ying are first-class elite guards.

Teng Xifeng came from the Taiji camp. Even after becoming the general guard, he has been working in the Taiji camp. In this way, the power of the deputy general guard of the Taiji camp will naturally be much smaller, and he has to consult the general guard for everything. The deputy general guard of the Xiulin camp, the deputy general guard of the Taiji camp is really a bit useless.

Standing in front of the barracks, Teng Xifeng looked majestic at the winter armors just brought in by the Habayashi guards, and couldn't help but twitched his beard and praised: "That's right, those guys from the Ministry of Finance, although they didn't do things right this year. , but the things are excellent, showing the domineering and bravery of my Habayashi camp."

The generals around him all nodded their heads and commented on Dongjia, and of course they all followed the words of the general guard.

Teng Xifeng was over fifty years old, and his beard was mostly white, with some black and black beards interspersed. He was dressed in exquisite and domineering golden battle armor, and there were two tiger heads on the armor plates on his shoulders.

His figure was not tall, and even very uneven. His upper body looked a little thick, but his lower body was actually two thinner thighs. Even with the leg armor protecting him, he still looked a little thin.

His right hand is always habitually resting on his waist, it looks like a general who is pointing the country, but also a busy farmer who is resting, which is really contradictory.

Teng Xifeng was a very contradictory person.

Many people say that he is amiable and sincere, others say that he is cruel and cunning like a fox, and some people say that his smiling face from time to time is just a mask to cover up his viciousness. That creepy and vicious true face.

But everyone admits that Teng Xifeng is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and has no second thoughts.

"This is Lord Zongwei who treats soldiers like sons, and those guys in the household department dare not make troubles." Li Wu, the deputy general guard of the Tai Chi Camp who looks like a thin monkey, said with a smile: "As long as the lord Zongwei is in charge, the people in the household department will Even if the gang guys offend the Beizhen army, they dare not offend the Yulin camp."

Teng Xifeng smiled faintly, stepped forward to pick up a pair of winter armor, groped for a while, and said: "Double-layer cowhide, the armor is hard, enough for the brothers to use for a while." Suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Li Wu, Has the single layer of winter armor been divided?"

Li Wu approached obsequiously, bowed his body and said: "Master Zongwei, the single-layer winter armor has been divided into low positions, please rest assured, my lord."

"It's getting cold. Although single armor is not as good as double armor, it's made of cowhide after all, so it's hardy to the cold." Teng Xifeng said thoughtfully: "This year, I owe the brothers of the other two battalions, and I will make a report on this matter , Those guys in the accountancy department who eat and don't do anything."

Li Wu blinked his eyes, and said closer: "My lord, all the two thousand single-layer winter armors were allocated to Fenghuo Camp, and Xiulin Camp was not allocated."

Teng Xifeng's expression turned cold, he glanced at Li Wu, and said indifferently: "Why do you give all of them to Fenghuoying?"

"My lord." Li Wu hurriedly said: "This year the Fenghuo camp has made the least meritorious service, and Ding Yi's crime of rebellion is even more unforgivable. They dare not say anything after the single layer of winter armor has passed."

"What does Ding Yi have to do with the officers and soldiers of the Fenghuo Camp when he commits a rebellion?" Teng Xifeng said coldly, "They are all soldiers from the Yulin Camp. Our Taiji Camp method is double-layered winter armor. That's because the Taiji Camp will leave Beijing for business in a while. How can you favor one over another? Are you easy to bully those guys from the Fenghuo camp? If there is trouble, how will you explain it?"

Li Wu shivered for a moment and dared not speak. His captains immediately went up and said: "Master Zongwei, the Fenghuo camp still needs to be reorganized, and they won't be able to do anything for a while. Give them this single layer of winter armor." , that is also excusable, and I hope Mr. Zong Wei will not blame Mr. Li!"

All the generals pleaded together, but Teng Xifeng kept a dark face and did not answer.

Just at this time, a Habayashi guard flew over, knelt down and said: "Master General Wei, Xue Shitou, the deputy general guard of the Fenghuo Battalion, begs to see you!"

Teng Xifeng snorted coldly, and said calmly: "The troublemaker is here." With a wave of his hand, he said, "Bring him here."

Habayashi immediately retreated.

"My lord, do you think that kid is here to cause trouble?" Li Wu said in disbelief, "How dare he come to cause trouble?"

With his right hand on his waist, Teng Xifeng said calmly: "In this world, there are many courageous people." He walked slowly to the side and sat down on a military chair.

Xue Poye saw a group of people waiting for him from a distance, and the attires of those people were all at the level of captain and lieutenant, and there was a little old man sitting on the big military chair in the middle, with a shining golden armor, he could tell it was him at first glance. Chief Guard of the Habayashi Camp.

Seeing these guys waiting for him like interrogators, Xue Poye felt a little unhappy in his heart, so he quickened his pace and walked over. He saw the general guard Teng Xifeng with a calm expression, twirling his beard, with a calm look, like a man taking a rest. The old man who nourishes the gods.

On the contrary, the generals behind them all raised their necks and held their heads high, not paying attention to Xue Poye at all. This group of people all knew that Xue Poye was the lucky one in the political competition, and it was definitely not that there was anything special about this person. Chu only took this position, and the only thing he could do was to slaughter three mastiffs with his bare hands in the Ten Thousand Birds Garden. Compared with the officials who have gone through countless fights to get to this position, they are really childish, so they all look down on Xue Po from the bottom of their hearts. Ye Ye, this kind of contempt is not concealed, it is shown on the face.

Xue Poye sneered in his heart, walked forward, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Xue Shishitou, deputy general guard of the humble Fenghuo camp, sees the general guard!"

Teng Xifeng stared at Xue Poye, and asked indifferently: "Are you Xue Shitou?"

"It's a humble job!"

"Okay, very good." Teng Xifeng showed a faint smile: "Deputy Chief Wei Xue is young and promising, with a bright future. Seeing you, this old man reminds me of when I was young, hehe, please get up!"

Xue Poye stood up, and seeing the captains and captains behind Teng Xifeng looking at him sideways, with contempt in their bones, he felt even more disgusted, and cupped his hands and said: "Master General Wei, I have something to ask for my humble post. Feel free to teach me."

Teng Xifeng said indifferently: "Vice President Xue and the old man met for the first time, so I asked for advice. As expected, I am very motivated. If you have something to say, it's okay to say it."

Xue Poye immediately said: "My lord, I would like to ask, are Fenghuo Camp, Xiulin Camp and Taiji Camp all Habayashi Camp, are they a whole?"

When everyone heard this, they all said in their hearts: "It turns out that this kid really came here to ask for trouble. It seems that he is really for the sake of the winter armor. He is really courageous. Let's see how Master Zongwei trains this brat who knows nothing about the sky and the earth."

Teng Xifeng said coldly: "Vice President Xue, are you teasing this old man? Everyone knows that the three camps of Yulin, the Fenghuo camp, Xiulin camp and Taiji camp all belong to Yulin camp. unanimous."

"Okay!" Xue Poye said seriously: "Since this is the case, does our Yulin Camp also follow the system under the above system?"

Teng Xifeng didn't know what Xue Poye was going to do, so he couldn't help but nodded and said, "That's true."

Xue Poye chuckled, glanced at the crowd behind Teng Xifeng, and said calmly: "If that's the case, why do all the school captains and captains treat lowly positions as nothing, and no one pays homage to them? In other words, the Taiji camp is different from the other two battalions?"

As soon as Xue Poye said these words, all the generals were furious, and some even opened their mouths to curse. Fortunately, they came to their senses. Although this kid has no credit or prestige, he is the deputy of the Yubayashi Battalion appointed by His Majesty the Emperor after all. Chief Wei, if he scolds, it is still a light charge for a "follower offender".

Everyone was full of anger, but they dared not scold.

Li Wu couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Lord Xue is so powerful? Could it be that you came to my Tai Chi camp just to let the generals pay homage to you?"

As soon as Xue Poye saw Li Wu's clothes, he knew that he was the deputy general guard who was on the same level as him. He laughed and said, "So it's Mr. Li, he was rude and rude. Xue Mou is not an official, it's just that the court's laws are there. Keep it up, there's no room for sloppyness."

Before he took office, he naturally inquired about the basic situation of Yulinying. Although he didn't know that the gift was a flattering guy, he remembered the name "Li Wu" in his heart.

Li Wu wanted to say something, but Teng Xifeng said in a deep voice: "Haven't you heard Vice President Xue's words? You're not being polite yet, do you want me to teach you?"

Who else would dare to say more about the general guard? Except for Li Wu, who is an ordinary officer, a group of captains and school lieutenants behind Teng Xifeng all came out, knelt down in front of Xue Poye, and said in unison: "My subordinates see the vice president. Master Wei!"

Xue Poye laughed, looking very kind: "Everyone, please, please, this is the court's law, Xue really dare not neglect, and I will rely on your help in the future, and I will help you." But he thought in his heart: " Now that I have entered the Yulin camp, not only must the Fenghuo camp be shaken, but the entire Yulin camp must also be shaken, and I cannot become a puppet to be bullied." At this time, he didn't want to offend others, anyway, these things People don't take themselves seriously, and the prestige that should be displayed is indispensable.

Everyone gritted their teeth, they never expected that the newly appointed oil noodle boy would embarrass everyone in one day.

Although Teng Xifeng was sitting, he still had his right hand on his waist, stared at Xue Poye, and asked directly: "Vice Chief Xue, is the winter armor ready for acceptance? Winter is coming, and the weather is getting cold, so brothers should pay attention to the cold. "

Xue Poye took a step forward, and said seriously: "Master General Wei, I am here today, one is to pay my respects to Lord General Wei, and the other is for Dongjia." After a pause, he said abruptly: "I think that I am here , Your Excellency is unfair in dealing with things, and refuses to accept his humble position!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked at first, shit, this kid is so fucking brave, he dared to argue with Lord Zongwei about this matter, this was unprecedented, but soon they all took pleasure in others' misfortune, so strong , Xue Poye will definitely not be able to get along today.

Sure enough, Teng Xifeng's face darkened, he slapped the chair, and shouted: "Xue Shitou, you are so brave!"
