Chapter 160 The Terrifying Guards

Chapter 160 The Terrifying Guards

The next day, it was a moment.

Gulu gulu...

The wheels of the carriage rolled over the bluestone road, making a regular and harsh sound.

Gradually, a pair of white horses pulling an extremely luxurious-looking carriage drove away from the gate of Wutong Academy.

Outside the carriage, there was a sturdy coachman sitting upright, constantly driving the horses through the streets, facing the already warm morning sun, and walking skillfully in Qingcheng.

Ding dong! Ding dong!

The bell hanging on the carriage door curtain swayed in the wind, ringing a string of sweet sounds all the way.

In the car, Chu Tang was sitting on the edge near the door, with Shen Bing Yi Tian in his arms, his hands on his knees, a serious look on his face, and his eyes were fixed.

Waves of fresh fragrance floated into his nose, including the smell of sachets that freshened the air in the car, and a hint of perfume powder used by women.

Or is it a woman's body fragrance?

Chu Tang felt embarrassed because there was another woman in the small space in the car - Tao Ying, the dean of Wutong Academy.

In addition, the reason for the embarrassment was that after a night of contemplation, he decided to go with Tao Ying to see the guard she mentioned.

Although he was obviously a little afraid of Zhen Yiwei, he couldn't help but want to use his power to facilitate himself.

The law of true fragrance is reflected again!

Originally, Chu Tang wanted to stay outside with the coachman before getting into the carriage. Later, Tao Ying asked him to sit in the carriage and said that he had something to discuss with him.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit in.

Upon entering, I found that this carriage should be Tao Ying's exclusive car, and everything was decorated like a woman's boudoir:

The carriage is quite broad, half a foot long from side to side, and nearly a foot long from front to back. There is a purple cushion in the innermost part, and two long brocade cushions on both sides.

In addition, the doors and windows are covered with gauze curtains, and the sunlight from outside the car shines through the curtains, ensuring the brightness inside the car.

There are also various hanging decorations in the car, which makes it look quite cozy.

Tao Ying sat in the back, with an antique coffee table in front of her. There was a pot of hot tea on it, and steam came out from the spout from time to time. It was obvious that he had heated a pot of tea here before getting in the car.

There are also several small purple clay teacups on the coffee table. They are exquisitely crafted and look high-end and luxurious.

The other teacups were all upside down on the coffee table, and only one contained tea, which rippled in the swaying carriage.

Tao Ying seemed to be meditating with her eyes closed. Occasionally, she would pick up the tea cup and take a sip, but she did not greet Chu Tang.

Not to mention inviting him to tea, he didn't even say a word.

Chu Tang smelled the faint fragrance in his nose and felt restless.

No matter how grand and bold Tao Ying is, she is still a woman.

Now that the two of them were sitting in such a small space, it was normal for Chu Tang to feel uncomfortable.

In fact, he wanted to speak and inquire about the Qian Yiwei he was about to meet, but Tao Ying was silent and he couldn't break the silence.

Occasionally, he turned around and glanced at Tao Ying, but hesitated to speak.

Tao Ying today is very different from what she saw yesterday.

When she received him last night, although Tao Ying was dressed in smart clothes, she was still dressed as a woman, only more graceful and luxurious.

Today, she is dressed as a man, with her hair tied up, and she is dressed in white. She has a heroic appearance, like a graceful martial arts master, extremely handsome.

After Chu Tang glanced at her again, Tao Ying slowly opened his eyes and said calmly: "Boss Chu, just say what you want to say without hesitation. How can a grown man be so shy? "

Chu Tang smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't it because, Dean Tao, you are closing your eyes to rest, for fear of disturbing your rest."

Tao Ying looked up at him and said, "You are trying to control my army."

"Ah?" Chu Tang didn't expect to come over.

Tao Ying said: "I told you last night not to get up too early and to get more rest."

Chu Tang said quickly: "No, no! Dean Tao, Chu definitely has no such intention!"

Tao Ying laughed heartily: "You are so boring, I was just joking!"

"Uh..." Chu Tang kept complaining. As a literary dean, you should behave yourself. Are you kidding me?

But then I thought about Tao Ying being a master of the Sixth Realm, unlike Dean Wen Chuan who usually just shook his head while studying, and suddenly he felt enlightened.

Tao Ying looked at him again and asked, "Do you want to ask about the guards?"

"Um!"

"You said you had contact with Zhenyiwei. How much do you know about this organization?" Tao Ying asked again.

Chu Tang shook his head slowly and said: "I don't know much. There is no Zhen Yiwei in Gui County. Most of them are just hearsay. I only know that Zhen Yiwei has a command post in Liangzhou, which is led by a commander. The chief, and below the chief are the members of the Yiyi Guard."

Tao Ying hummed and said: "This is just the most basic general structure. The command post of the Zhenyiwei in Liangzhou is located in Yuncheng, which is the front line against the barbarians. The Zhenyiwei also has to serve in various wars. .

"You also know that our system in Liangzhou is a bit special compared to other state systems. In addition to Yuncheng, we also have Qingcheng, the sub-center of a state. Liangzhou is too big, and the existence of Qingcheng is more to deal with the situation in a state. Political affairs. The highest official in Yuncheng is the military and political governor, who is a second-rank official in Dayao's court. He needs the ability to integrate military and political affairs and is very capable.

"In order to share the pressure of the governor of Yuncheng, the deputy governor's office was set up in Qingcheng to handle the government affairs of Liangzhou. It is a third-grade official title and is usually held by civilian officials. Do you know why you are not appointed as a military attache?"

At the end of the sentence, Tao Ying asked about Chu Tang, which was a test for him.

Chu Tang didn't even raise his eyelids and said: "Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Liangzhou's biggest role is to resist the barbarians and Rong tribes. Military comes first and must not be messed up. And military orders are the most taboo. If Qingcheng If he is also a military attache and deputy governor, it will greatly threaten the power of the governor of Yuncheng. Once the two have conflicts and restrain each other, delaying the military, Liangzhou will be in chaos, and Jiuzhou will be shaken!"

Tao Ying's eyes shone as she stared at Chu Tang and said, "I didn't expect you to have such vision. You call yourself a vulgar warrior. It's so hypocritical! Political power comes from the barrel of a gun... What you say is rough!"

Chu Tang began to make psychological construction again: Dayao had Emperor Gaozu, and in my mind Taizu was also very powerful, okay?

The barrel of a gun...is this a rough statement?

Is the truth good?

Tao Ying was unaware of Chu Tang's plan to slander her, and continued: "Qingcheng can be said to be Yuncheng's deputy. In contrast, the Liangzhou deputy command post of the Zhenyi Guards set up in Qingcheng can also be regarded as Yuncheng Zhenyi's deputy command post." The health branch."

"Deputy command post?" Chu Tang had always thought that the Yiyiwei had only set up one station in Liangzhou, which was the Yuncheng Yiwei command post. Since there were Yiyiwei in Qingcheng, there might be a point station. That’s all.

Unexpectedly, a deputy command post was set up!

The particularity of the Zhen Yiwei determines that the person in charge of the deputy command post is not a simple person. It is not an exaggeration to say that he can influence the situation in Qingcheng.

"The place where Dean Tao is taking Chu today is the Deputy Command Post of Qingyi Wei Qingcheng?" Chu Tang realized this.

Tao Ying said: "Liangzhou's Yiyiwei has a commander and a deputy commander. There are also thirty divisions under it, each with a chief. There are thirty or forty Yiyiwei under the division. "

"Thousands of armored guards?!" Chu Tang was shocked.

"Huh?" Tao Ying was puzzled.

Chu Tang said excitedly: "I remember that the Yiyi Guards need at least four realms of cultivation to join."

"Then what?" Tao Ying was still confused.

Chu Tang's eyes widened: "A thousand warriors from the fourth realm and above! How terrifying!"

Tao Ying said angrily: "Among the nine states, Liangzhou is the largest and the largest, with more than eighty counties and hundreds of thousands of counties! There are only a thousand guards in uniforms, and each county is only a dozen people. What's more? Many of the guards have to be responsible for the investigation of barbarians and Rong tribes. If something happens, there will not be enough people and we will be stretched!"

Chu Tang couldn't laugh or cry. Is this how people calculate averages?

A thousand warriors from the fourth realm and above, what is the concept?

It’s enough to overthrow all the forces in Liangzhou!

Tao Ying added: "But Liangzhou is special. There are not so many guards in other states."

Chu Tang realized a problem and asked: "Dean Tao, at least a warrior from the fourth realm is required to join the Guards. So what realm does a commander need to be competent?"

Tao Ying glanced at him and said calmly: "The person I want to take you to see is the deputy commander of Qingyi Guard Qingcheng. He is the Sixth Realm of Perfection."

"The six realms are perfect!" Chu Tang blurted out, "Then the commander of Yuncheng is higher, isn't it?"

The higher level is the seventh realm, the existence of the upper three realms!

Tao Ying nodded slightly and said: "The commander of Yuncheng was already at the seventh realm ten years ago. Now that ten years have passed, his realm must be much higher."

Chu Tang was shocked.

A commander of the seventh realm, a deputy commander who can break through to the seventh realm at any time, and hundreds of guardsmen from the fourth and fifth realms. This kind of power is so terrifying!

If they all come forward in a rush, with the imperial court's armed configuration of the Yiyi Guards, even if the masters of the Nine Realms come, they will have to stay away.

Apart from anything else, the PoGang crossbow arrows that Chu Tang brought with him on this trip were only equipped with a few of them with the strength of one county.

The Po Gang Crossbow Arrows are almost standard equipment for Zhen Yiwei, and they can be said to be a handful for everyone!

Under the leadership of the masters of the Seventh Realm, thousands of crossbow arrows were fired. Chu Tang could not think of a few martial arts people who dared to face such an edge.

"What, are you scared?" Tao Ying asked with a smile when she saw Chu Tang's expression.

Chu Tang took a deep breath and said with emotion: "As soon as the 缿衣 comes out, the warriors surrender; to destroy gangs and sects, the imperial power authorizes it! No wonder the head of the 缿衣卫 dared to say this."

Tao Ying's face became unhappy, and he snorted and said: "The Yiwei guards have always been domineering in their work. In fact, they are just thanks to our great age of Yao. Without the strength of the imperial court, how could they be as prosperous as they are?! "

Chu Tang nodded in agreement.

Yao founded his country for a hundred years and established the country with martial arts, and martial arts prevailed.

The imperial court was strong and suppressed the world. All forces did not dare to act rashly, but the common people could still live in peace and contentment.

The so-called learning of civil and martial arts, goods and the imperial family, today's Dayao is still in the prosperous age, rich in the world, with all kinds of resources at hand, so that the world's talents are also moving closer to the imperial court.

All the heroes in the world have fallen into the trap!

Zhen Yiwei is one of the typical examples.

Even a master of the Seventh Realm, who was highly skilled in martial arts and relatively transcendent, joined the imperial court and served as the commander of the Yiyi Guards of a state. This shows that the imperial court is quite reliable.

Above one state, there is also the commander-in-chief who is in charge of the world's military guards. What a master he is!

Chu Tang couldn't even imagine it anymore.

But he saw that Tao Ying was not happy when he mentioned the Zhen Yiwei, and he couldn't figure out why the other party wanted to introduce him to the Zhen Yiwei in Qingcheng.

"Why, are you surprised by my attitude towards the guards?" Tao Ying noticed Chu Tang's puzzled look and raised it first.

Without waiting for Chu Tang to speak, she added: "The Yiwei are domineering and often violate laws and regulations. As a scholar, I will definitely oppose it strongly; and their violence and wantonness are a knife hanging over the heads of martial arts people as a means of practicing martial arts." I must be very afraid of this person!"

"But……"

"However, it does not prevent me from making friends with their characters!" Tao Ying interrupted what Chu Tang wanted to say, "The deputy commander Tang Yue I want to take you to see this time is one of the best. He is young. When you are only forty, you have already reached the six realms of perfection. With a soft sword, there are few opponents. I met him when I was traveling in the world, and we have a deep friendship. "

"Tang Yue?" Chu Tang called out, "The surname of Dayao is Tang..."

Tao Ying glanced at him and said, "Boss Chu, has anyone told you that people who are too smart often don't live long?"

Chu Tang touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Chu should just be a fool. I hope I can live longer."

Tao Ying was afraid of scaring him, so she comforted him and said, "You don't have to think too much, I'm just recommending a talent to him."

Chu Tang asked curiously: "Dean Tao really hopes that Chu will join the Guards?"

He knew that Tao Ying took him to see the Yiwei just because he wanted him to join them!

Tao Ying said calmly: "I told you yesterday that you don't have to come today."

Chu Tang smiled bitterly and asked: "Dean Tao, after meeting someone, what will be the consequences if Chu refuses to join?"

"No one will force you." Tao Ying said half a sentence. She felt thirsty and gently picked up the tea cup on the small coffee table in front of her. After taking a sip, she continued, "Do you think it's so easy to be a guard?" Are you joining because you want it? There are a lot of warriors from the four realms who want to join, and they have to pass the test!"

Chu Tang was silent for a while, and finally asked directly: "Dean Tao, can you tell Mr. Chu what you are here for?"

"What for what?"

Chu Tang pointed at himself, looked directly at Tao Ying, his eyes were bright, and said: "Dean Tao treats Chu with good intentions. There is no hatred without reason in the world, and there is no love without reason!"

Tao Ying was silent, looking at Chu Tang without saying anything.

Chu Tang added: "From the hospitality yesterday to taking Chu to meet people today, I guess it wasn't just a whim for Dean Tao to come here, right?"

"You are very smart!" Tao Ying sighed.

Chu Tang shook his head and said, "Chu really wants to live longer."

Tao Ying raised her head slightly, her eyes vague, as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, she came back to her senses, sighed softly, and said, "Actually, I don't want you to know about this, because I don't think you will agree."

Chu Tang was anxious: "Dean Tao, please tell me directly!"

Tao Ying looked at him and said with a wry smile: "You were ordered by Su Hong, the governor of Gui County, to escort Qingyue to Qingcheng, but did you know that he also asked Qingyue to send me a letter, which contains something related to you? s arrangement."

"Prefect Su? My arrangement?" Chu Tang was really surprised.

After thinking about it, he thought Tao Ying had something to do with him, but unexpectedly, it involved Su Hong, who was hundreds of miles away!

Tao Ying's bright eyes glanced back and forth at Chu Tang several times until he felt his heart tremble before he said, "Su Hong told me in the letter that he wanted Qing Yue to betrothed to you and asked me to match you two. "

"What! Betrothed..." Chu Tang almost jumped up, astonished.
