Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 330 Xuanwu General
Xu Qing stood still and listened to the soldiers yelling "Please General Xu to conquer the Xiongguan Pass" seven or eight times, then he nodded in satisfaction and stepped in.After Xu Qing and Zhao Gong entered, the floodgate and Zhumen were closed again, and the arched corridor became quiet. When Xu Qing passed by, there was still an echo.On both sides of the aisle, there are empty arrows. You can throw stones and arrows and pour hot oil and boiling water. There is a door at the end of the aisle.It is also a gate, but it is only covered with thick wood and iron.

Out of this door is the school grounds.For some reason, in the arched aisle, he felt a little depressed, but as soon as he stepped out of the aisle, he felt relieved.Xu Qing looked at Zhuge Yan behind him and said, "General Zhuge, what kind of official are you? There are still some important positions in Xuanwu Sect."

Zhuge Yan bowed down and said: "The last general is the right gate supervisor of Xuanwu Gate, and He Chang, the left gate supervisor, is stationed at the front gate. The sixth team is the leader, and the forty team is the leader."

Xu Qing thought for a while and said, "Can you take me to the front to see?"

Zhuge Yan nodded, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Strictly guard, anyone who thinks I won't come back, no imperial decree, no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

At this time, Xu Qing nodded. This Zhuge Yan did not despise him because he was young, nor flattered him because he was a superior official. He did what he should do and did not do what he should not do. Here, it must be important to this point.

The school ground was tens of feet away, surrounded by thick and tall city walls, and soldiers were stationed there.In front of Xu Qing, there is an outer door that is more powerful than this inner door.I saw one or two buildings above the outer door.Zhuge Yan, the supervisor of the left gate, said: "The front is where the general works, and the back is where the general rests."

Xu Qing nodded, and after a while, he walked to the Xuanwu Gate, the outer gate.There is also an aisle at the outer gate, which is much longer than the inner gate, but you don't need to go through it. You can climb to the official hall above the inner city wall by free stairs.

Seeing Zhuge Yan coming, those soldiers all showed a trace of fear, Xu Qing saw it and felt a little puzzled.I remembered that when I passed through the inner gate just now, the soldiers there had deep eyes, calm and majestic, that's what soldiers on the battlefield should look like, but these soldiers in front of them looked a little like paper tigers.

It is also a greeting, an introduction, and a goodbye.But all they did were military salutes, and in the blink of an eye, Xu Qing and Zhuge Yan went upstairs.

Upstairs, Xu Qing frowned, why?I saw the sound of drinking and having fun in the hall of the left gate supervisor.And drunken words:
"General, don't drink anymore. The gatekeeper will be here in a few days. This is a violation of the law, General."

"Haha, why am I always afraid? Tell you, there are people in my court!"

"Oh, the general is drunk, you help him to rest"

"Don't you dare, the gatekeeper, it was originally mine. I sent money and materials everywhere. Well, when the time comes, I will become a gatekeeper, a penniless man, and become a general!" He Chang picked up his wine glass and danced wildly. Cursed: "Haha, let him come and see if he dares to touch a hair of my hair!"

Zhuge Yan showed a hint of helplessness, pointed to the door and said: "General, this is the supervisor of the left gate. He is in charge of other people's entry, and I am in charge of exit." After finishing speaking, he said to the soldiers who came with him: "Go, Call Mr. He out and say that the Zhengyin official has arrived."

Xu Qing thought to himself, isn't this He Chang the person he almost bumped into on the road that day.It seems that it was supposed to be his guard of the Xuanwu Gate, but I snatched it away. No wonder I vented my anger in the racing car that day.Then, He Chang should have been an official here for only a few days, which is obviously unpopular. You see, when the superior inspected, no one reported it.They were all watching a play to see how the new Shangguan would deal with the old Shangguan.It turned out that the left-door prisoner was the biggest official, a whole level older than the right-door prisoner.

However, this He Chang is now either still a member of the prince, or has become a member of the king of Qin, Xu Qing has no choice but to beat the dog to see his master.The soldier stepped forward and opened the door, Xu Qing also felt a smell of alcohol blowing towards his face.

"That brat, dare to interrupt me for a drink?"

"General He, General Xu, the gatekeeper, is here!"

"Bah! What goalkeeper, bring him to see me!"

This time, the soldier stopped persuading him, retreated to the side, and began to watch the show.However, the lieutenants who were already in the house rushed out to meet Xu Qing, and when they saw Xu Qing, they knelt down to apologize.Seeing Xu Qing's face sinking like water, he waved his hands and said: "Drinking in the army, what crime should be, you know, this officer is here for the first time today, and if you think it's your first offense, I will deal with it lightly. Go and receive the punishment!"

Xu Qing is also a person with military experience. The rules in this military camp are not as easy to forget as dancing in the early morning. Xu Qingzao has already incorporated those rules into his bones.

"Hahahaha, where is such a young boy?" He Chang wobbled out holding the jug, pointed at Xu Qing and cursed: "What are you, you dare to be the guard of the Xuanwu Gate?"

Zhuge Yan shouted: "Bold, how dare you be rude to Shangguan, do you know the sharpness of the knife on my waist?"

He Chang took a step back, pointed at Zhuge Yan and said mockingly: "Okay, this new official will subdue you in one day?"

Zhuge Yan said generously: "I, Zhuge Yan, only know how to serve the court. Since the Shangguan has come, I should protect the face of the Shangguan. If you dare to speak rudely again, I will draw my sword and kill you!"

Xu Qing was also frightened by Zhuge Yan when he heard the words, so he drew his sword and killed him at every turn. If he really killed him, Xu Qing would not be a gatekeeper.So he stopped him and said: "General Zhuge, please don't be angry."

Then he turned to He Chang and said, "I don't care if you scold me, but you neglected your duty and drank in the army. The imperial court has its own rules, and this official decides to act according to the law! Come here, take off He Chang's official uniform first, and beat him three times." Ten army sticks!"

At this time, when He Chang heard Xu Qing's words, he also froze, and was mostly sober from the wine.Pulling out the knife at his waist, he saw Xu Qing's appearance clearly and said, "Okay, so it was you. Tell me, did you feed my horse that day? Well, I know, the Chou family can't get away. Yes, today the old and new grudges are avenged!"

I saw that He Chang couldn't stand still, and he couldn't hold the knife. It would be fine if he didn't cut himself, and there was no need for revenge.

Xu Qing looked at the surrounding soldiers with a sneer and said, "What are you still looking at, pull him out and add another twenty to the army stick!"

He Chang laughed and said, "Who dares? If you hit me, I'm afraid you won't be able to be an official. Who dares, I think who dares?"

At this time, Xu Qing was about to get angry, but a voice came from behind:
"I dare!"

All the soldiers around were bowing down, shouting: "Long live the emperor!"

At this time, He Chang suddenly woke up from the wine. Why, the alcohol was sent out by a burst of cold sweat on his back.So much cold sweat, so scared.He was drunk and dereliction of duty, no matter how much he did, it was just a loss of his head, and it would not directly implicate his family.But if Li Yuan found out about that matter, it would be a disaster for the Zhu Jiu Clan to implicate more people.At this moment, he couldn't help but regret the sentence "I have someone in the court" just now, so that his intestines turned green.

Xu Qing also saluted and said: "My humble minister Xu Qing, pay homage to my emperor, long live my emperor."
