197. The Little Miscellaneous Soldier(1/2)
As the morning light descended on the earth, Jiang Xiaofan slowly opened his starry eyes and scanned his surroundings. Today was already the sixth day after receiving the royal gold order, but he still failed to go to the imperial capital.
At this time, Long Xi also let out a cry, and then sat up. She stretched, rubbed her eyes, then raised her head slightly and looked at Jiang Xiaofan: "Good morning, master!"
"Haha, morning!"
Long Xi took out the gem from his arms, stared at it, and said with a smile: "Master, master, let's go in that direction!"
As he said that, Long Xi pointed firmly in one direction. Jiang Xiaofan glanced at the gem in his hand. This thing is called the Lingxi Stone. If you divide a Lingxi Stone into two, the two can sense each other. Since there is
Sensibility, indicating that someone has entered the Dragon Bone Forest and is looking for her.
So the two of them tidied up a bit, and Jiang Xiaofan and Long Xi set off in the direction of leaving the Dragon Bone Forest.
I have to say that this thing works quite well. Around noon, Jiang Xiaofan sensed a large number of people, and then dozens of people came out of the jungle!
After seeing Long Xi, the leading armored forest guard immediately shouted: "Protect the princess!"
Then everyone quickly stepped forward and surrounded Jiang Xiaofan. It seemed that if Jiang Xiaofan dared to move even slightly, he would be stabbed into a hedgehog by a spear!
Long Xi's eyes turned cold at this moment and he shouted sweetly: "This is my princess's master. If any of you dare to be rude to him, I will chop off his head!"
The armored forest guard stopped, dismounted quickly, raised his hand, and the armored forest guards put away their weapons one after another, and then knelt down together with the armored forest guard!
The armored forest guard said in a deep voice: "General Lin Zihua pays homage to the princess."
Long Xi waved his hand: "Forget it, you guys came really slowly, let's go back."
Lin Zihua quickly gave up his horse to Long Xi, and then gave up a horse for Jiang Xiaofan. After all, Jiang Xiaofan was made the master by Long Xi. If nothing else, he should be treated as a guest with this status!
Then a rocket shot straight into the sky, and sharp wind whistles resounded endlessly. Throughout the Dragon Bone Forest, countless teams of Royal Guards gathered here, totaling more than 30,000 people. Jiang Xiaofan was also amazed.
Endless.
The Royal Forest Guards are all very powerful, at least at the peak of Xuanwu Realm, but most of them are still in the early and middle stages of Earth Martial Arts. Don't look at it like this, these are the fifth-grade official positions in the imperial capital, and they can be obtained in one year.
A salary of more than ten silver coins!
Lin Zihua was an iron-armored guard, a fourth-rank official. However, there were hundreds of iron-armored guards, which was not unusual, but there were only a dozen or so silver-armored guards. This reminded Jiang Xiaofan of Ye Hao.
That time when he was exploring the Bigu Forest and hunting the Lieyin Fox, Ye Hao led a team to protect Bai Yichen. He was the Silver-armored Forest Guard. King Pingwei specially invited him from the imperial capital to protect Bai Yichen. It seems that this Silver-armored Forest Guard
It was so rare that Jiang Xiaofan couldn't help but envy it.
After about an hour, everyone walked out of the Dragon Bone Forest and walked more than twenty miles south to reach the so-called imperial capital. Jiang Xiaofan said to Long Xi: "Let's say goodbye here."
"No, Master, I want to go with you!" Long Xi quickly followed.
At this time, Lin Zihua knelt down towards Long Xi: "Princess, Your Majesty asked us to bring you to the palace to meet the saint, otherwise we will all lose our heads!"
Then all the royal guards knelt down. Even though she was a unruly princess, she had to listen to her father. How could she refuse when her father asked her to go back?
In order to reassure Long Xi, Jiang Xiaofan said with a smile: "It's the palace, right? Don't worry, I'll go find you after I finish what I'm doing."
"Really? Then you can't break your promise!" Long Xi's stern face finally showed a smile.
"That has to be true!"
Jiang Xiaofan agreed wholeheartedly, but in his heart he was thinking: Please forgive me now.
So Jiang Xiaofan finally left this sister-in-law, and then he changed his route and headed towards the imperial capital!
…
Jiang Xiaofan arrived at the imperial capital in the evening and stood outside the city gate. He was immediately stunned by the majestic city!
There are rows of soldiers standing on the towering city wall. The city wall is countless miles long. Compared with the area of the imperial capital, Xiantian City is like a toilet in a suite. There is almost no comparison!
At this time, there were dozens of guards standing on both sides outside the city, but they were all miscellaneous soldiers guarding the city. They seemed to be in the Xuanwu realm. Jiang Xiaofan was walking towards the inside, when a guard stopped him.
He looked Jiang Xiaofan up and down, and then said: "Boy, are you from outside? If outsiders want to enter the imperial capital, they need approval from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Do you have it?"
Jiang Xiaofan took out the golden token from his arms and grinned: "I am from the Jiang family in Xiantian City, and I am here to report."
After hearing this, the guard raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Xiaofan again. Then he took out a roster from his arms, flipped through a few pages, glanced at it, then stepped back and said to Jiang Xiaofan: "Go in, this way
Go to the end and turn left to reach the Department of Civil Affairs."
"Thank you."
After saying this, Jiang Xiaofan happily walked into the imperial capital that everyone yearned for!
In the evening, you can still feel the bustle in the imperial capital. There are countless pedestrians at noon, including women going home to buy groceries, schoolchildren having fun after class, and strong men after a tiring day...
All kinds of people and objects all caught Jiang Xiaofan's eyes.
The imperial capital is too big. When Jiang Xiaofan reached the end of the road, he discovered that there was actually another city in the city. The walls of this city were even higher, and the gates were tightly closed. All the people on the wall were regular guards.
The Royal Forest Army is simply not on the same level as the outside!
This should be the real imperial city. The people inside are all dignitaries, because it is not difficult to see that the people living outside are all ordinary people.
However, this outer city is really not small. When Jiang Xiaofan walked over, it was almost dark. After turning left and walking a few steps, he found a lobby. The plaque at the door clearly read the three characters "Libu Division"!
The guards at the door still stopped Jiang Xiaofan, but the royal golden order was really easy to use. Jiang Xiaofan entered the Department of Personnel easily. Then a servant led Jiang Xiaofan to the front hall. There were two guards standing in the front hall.
Sitting in the center was a bloated and obese man.
The man saw Jiang Xiaofan with a smile on his face and said: "I heard, you are the son of the Jiang family who won the competition, Jiang Xiaofan. It's true that people are not judged by their appearance. It is not easy to have such strength at such a young age."
Jiang Xiaofan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, that's a ridiculous compliment. Where should I go now?"
The man laughed, took the golden order from Jiang Xiaofan and said: "The Department of Civil Affairs is in charge of the chores and distribution of all soldiers in the outer city. There is not only one clan competition for each clan, so there are also many border disciples coming here. Your cultivation will be
Starting from the most basic miscellaneous soldiers, the position you can reach after that depends on your ability."
"Um, aren't you going to the Immortal Mansion to practice?" Jiang Xiaofan frowned slightly and asked.
The man smiled and said, "It's true that I'm going to the Immortal Mansion. I don't know you when I go to the Immortal Mansion. You have to stay in the army for half a year. After half a year, the nobles of the imperial capital will go to the Immortal Mansion to practice. You can go together and practice by the way. Of course, yes
Go as a noble attendant, whether you can become an attendant depends on how interested you are."
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows at Jiang Xiaofan, then stretched out his right hand and moved his thumb on his index and middle fingers!
Only then did Jiang Xiaofan understand that the Department of Civil Affairs was in charge of the distribution of soldiers in the outer city. Jiang Xiaofan wanted to go to the Immortal Mansion to practice in half a year, so he needed to spend money to get this person to find a better position for him, so that he could get there faster.
After being promoted to become an attendant, you will be eligible to go with the nobles after half a year!
I didn’t expect that there is such an unspoken rule!
Bullying him from the countryside?
I bother!
Jiang Xiaofan rolled his eyes at the fat man and said, "No money."
His tone was firm. He despised such corrupt officials the most. It was not easy to make some money outside the imperial capital, especially in border cities. Do you want this hard-earned money?
No matter how rich Jiang Xiaofan is, he will never give it to these scum!
The man's expression became condensed at this moment, and he immediately lost his good expression. Then he took out an official document, stamped it, and put it on the table: "I will report to the Xicheng Military Headquarters tomorrow morning at Yinshi!"
After saying that, the man flicked his sleeves and walked into the back hall.
Jiang Xiaofan opened the official document and wrote a line of large characters——
Jiang Xiaofan is divided into miscellaneous soldiers of the Xicheng Military Department, take this as evidence!
…
Jiang Xiaofan cursed in his heart: Damn!
In the evening, you can still feel the bustle in the imperial capital. There are countless pedestrians at noon, including women going home to buy groceries, schoolchildren having fun after class, and strong men after a tiring day...
