After understanding the Duqi Army, Xiang Shaolong, Teng Yi and Jing Jun began to understand its structure and operation, so they began to rectify and reform it.

The cavalry army numbered between 10,000 and divided into five armies, with 2,000 men in each army. They were all elites selected by the Qin army who were good at riding and shooting. They were second only to the imperial guards who protected the Qin King's Forbidden Palace. Most of them came from the royal family.

The descendants of the courtiers have clean wealth and generous salaries, so everyone is proud to be a cavalryman.

Normally, the Ducai Army is stationed in four satellite castles in dangerous situations outside Xianyang City, responsible for patrol and reconnaissance outside the royal city and other general defense.

The affairs within the city are handled by the Imperial Guards, with clear responsibilities and powers.

But if something happens, the commander of the Duqi will be deployed by the commander of the Duqi. Therefore, in the two systems, the Duqi is the leader and the Duwei is the deputy. Every three months, the soldiers and horses of the two systems must jointly train.

Able to cooperate seamlessly.

The commander of the capital guards must report to the commander of the capital cavalry once a month, and the latter will report directly to the king of Qin.

It can be seen from this that the position of commander of the cavalry, if the city is guarded, must be appointed by Qin Jun personally, and the most trustworthy person in charge must be selected.

For Zhu Ji and Xiao Pan, no one is more ideal than Xiang Shaolong. It is rare that it was proposed by an important military minister headed by Lu Gong. Even with Lu Buwei's tyranny, his objections were ineffective, so they had to settle for the second best.

Guan Zhongxie was placed in an important position as the commander of the capital guards.

The three major systems of imperial guards, capital cavalry, and capital guards constitute the backbone of the royal city's defense.

This morning, the investiture ceremony was held in the square of the main hall of the palace.

Angu was promoted to general and was responsible for the defense of Dongfang Hangu Pass, Hulao Pass and Yaosai Pass. Both his power and status increased unabated, so Angu did not feel frustrated.

His duties were changed to the young royal brothers Changping Jun Yinghou and Changwen Jun Yingyue. They were in charge of the cavalry, chariot troops and infantry of the imperial guard. The commanding position was divided into two, becoming the imperial cavalry general and the imperial guard.

Will.

It is a tradition of the Qin Dynasty to appoint royal nobles as commanders of the imperial army, and it is difficult for Lu Buwei to interfere in this matter.

Guan Zhongxie was promoted to the position of commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, with Lu Buwei's other confidant Lu Xiong as his deputy.

Although the Du Wei Army is inferior to the Du Cavalry Army, it is indeed responsible for the defense and public security of the royal city. It is a mixture of modern army and police. Due to the strong folk customs of the Qin State, this position is not easy to obtain.

This was the first time Xiang Shaolong saw Guan Zhongxie.

As mentioned in the picture, he is a little taller than Xiang Shaolong, and his appearance is far less handsome than his junior brother Lian Jin, but he has a rough face, broad shoulders, thick arms, thin waist and long legs, but he has a masculine body shape.

, which makes people feel that he has an indescribable and wild attraction, and he is about thirty years old.

It is rare that he has thick eyebrows like swords, a high nose and deep eyes, and a pair of eyes that are as bright as lightning. When he steps on the stage to receive the military talisman, he behaves calmly and walks like a tiger. Even the Qin Emperor Fang was dissatisfied with him for appointing him to this position.

, and was also impressed by his general's style and momentum. No wonder he can stand out among the diners of the prime minister's house who are full of masters, and become one of the people Lu Buwei respects the most.

Jing Jun taught Xiang and Teng to pay attention to the people next to Lu Buwei who was watching the ceremony, and said: "The one in yellow is the scheming Mo Ao. The two warriors behind him are Lu Can and the most powerful people in Guan Zhongxie.

Zhou Zihuan."

When Xiang Teng heard this, he quickly looked at it with his eyes.

This Mo Ao is tall and tall, with a horse face and unhealthy bluish-white color. He is about thirty-five or six years old. He has a thick goat beard, is quite elegant and delicate, and has a pair of half-open eyes.

When closed, the eyes are shining, very gloomy and unpredictable.

Xiang Shaolong leaned close to Teng Yi's ear and said, "If we don't kill this man, sooner or later we will suffer another big loss at his hands."

Teng Yi nodded affirmatively, expressing absolute agreement.

Na Lu Can and Zhou Zihuan are one tall and one short. They are both warrior-type figures with calm demeanor. Just by looking at their appearance, you can tell that they are formidable swordsmen.

Tian Dan and other foreign envoys did not show up. Since this is the Qin people's own business and it is about the defense of the royal city, outsiders will naturally not be invited to participate.

Xiaopan himself was an aristocrat of Zhao State and had been raised in the palace. During the two years after coming to Qin, he was trained to be a prince every day. In addition, his actual age was more than two years older than others knew, so even though he was in Qin, he was a nobleman.

This atmosphere was solemn, and even in an occasion where thousands of people were looking up at him, he was still swaying freely, calmly and appropriately, and all the ministers and generals nodded in approval.

Lu Buwei felt even more relieved when he saw this "loved son", feeling that his efforts were not in vain.

After the ceremony was completed, the officials dispersed, but An Gu, Changping, Changwen, Guan Zhongxie, Xiang Shaolong and others had to stay to accompany the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince at the luncheon.

Lu Buwei and Xu Xian, the prime ministers on the left and right, the important military ministers Lu Gong, Wang, Du Bi, Meng Ao, minister Cai Ze, the left prisoner Wang Wan, and the right prisoner Hou Jia Gong Chengdu were invited to accompany them.

This can be said to be a welcome banquet after the personnel transfer.

Lunch was held in the inner court.

While the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince returned to the harem to change their clothes, everyone gathered under the steps of the inner court to congratulate and chat with each other.

An Gu took the brothers Chang Wenjun and Changping Jun and introduced them to Xiang Shaolong.

The two brothers are both quite handsome in appearance and figure. They are only in their twenties, have big faces, tall and mighty figures, and are very shrewd without giving off the impression of cunning.

Perhaps because An Gu and others had worked hard, both of them behaved quite friendly towards Xiang Shaolong.

After some polite words, Lord Yinghou of Changping said: "Master Xiang's martial arts is indeed amazing. Even Wang Jian can't beat you. Afterwards, he highly praised your character and swordsmanship. I will definitely invite you to do it when I have time."

Come to the humble house and get close to me, and teach our unruly girl a lesson. She bet you that you would lose to Wang Jian that day, so she didn't even bother to look at you."

Chang Wenjun smiled and said: "Remember to bring Ji Cainnv to open our eyes, but keep the highest confidentiality, otherwise all the men in Xianyang will flock to our house and be so crowded that it would be difficult to insert a pin."

An Gu stuck out his tongue and said: "Master Xiang, please be careful with Miss Ying Ying and don't underestimate the enemy. I almost suffered a big loss under her sword. Hey, this girl is almost eighteen years old and she still refuses to marry.

, I am so tired that the young master in Xianyang is so anxious after a long wait."

Xuan lowered his voice and said, "Apart from Widow Qing, she is the most beautiful in Xianyang."

Xiang Shaolong was frightened when he heard this, and secretly thought that if this was the case, he would never go to Lord Changping's residence, lest he arouse his love interest.

In this frightening moment, and having gone through many vicissitudes of life, do you still have the desire to flirt with women?

While they were perfunctory, Lu Buwei led Guan Zhongxie towards them. He chuckled from a distance and said, "Zhongxie, let me introduce you to your colleagues and brothers."

An Gu and the other three people showed disdain before saluting each other.

Lu Buwei formally introduced Guan Zhongxie to everyone. The latter responded with a friendly smile on his face, but when he looked at Xiang Shaolong, his eyes flashed, revealing murderous intent.

Xiang Shaolong was stunned by his surprisingly powerful eyes and felt ridiculous.

The two of them had actually fought each other secretly, but at this moment they were pretending to be happy to meet each other for the first time.

Lu Buwei looked at Xiang Shaolong with the same expression as before, and said: "May I ask you all to come down here and have a good drink and chat. Recently, the Yan people sent a group of singers. They are all rare fine products and are still among the best."

If you are interested in virgins, you can pick two of them back and listen to them play the piano, sing and dance, it will be a pleasure."

How can there be too many beauties? The two brothers Chang Pingjun were immediately impressed and quickly thanked them.

On the contrary, An Gu stood firm and declined: "Prime Minister Lu's good intentions are appreciated, and the general will be leaving for Eastern Xinjiang the day after tomorrow."

Guan Zhongxie interjected: "Then let's have a happy gathering tonight while General An is still in Xianyang. We can also pay farewell to General An by the way."

Just hearing what he said in this situation shows his status before Lu Buwei.

Angu had no choice but to agree.

Lu Buwei looked at Xiang Shaolong and said: "Shaolong, you must participate, just treat it as punishment for leaving without saying goodbye that night."

Xiang Shaolong had no choice but to nod and agree.

While Guan Zhongxie was having a good relationship with Lord Changping, Lu Buwei pulled Xiang Shaolong aside and whispered: "Recently there are rumors that there is a secret discord between you and me. Do you know about such a thing?"

Xiang Shaolong cursed secretly in his heart, but pretended to be surprised on the outside and said: "I didn't hear that this happened."

Lu Buwei frowned and said, "You don't have to hide anything from me, Shaolong. Since I came back from my mission, I feel that Shaolong's attitude toward me has changed. Afterwards, I interrogated Brother Mengwu in detail and found out that you had misunderstood that Lu Xiong had secretly communicated with Yangquan Jun, which caused harm to him."

Princess Deqian died tragically, but the truth is completely different. The person who betrayed you was Lu Xiong's deputy general Qu Douqi, so he fled in fear of crime and did not dare to come back to Xianyang."

Xiang Shaolong was amazed in his heart. He originally thought that Wu Tingwei would not be able to convey the false news that Ji Yanran came up with to Lu Buwei, but unexpectedly, this boy was eager to take the credit and completed the task in the blink of an eye.

But he knew that expressing his belief so easily would make Lu Buwei suspicious, so he still said with a stern face: "Mr. Lu, please forgive me. On the night when the late king died, someone bribed my generals and lured me out of the city to ambush me. Fortunately,

I thought it was too early to be fooled, but I wonder if Mr. Lu knows about this?"

Lu Buwei said seriously: "Have you captured the traitor?"

Wu Tingwei's death was a secret of the Wu family. They only claimed to the outside world that he was sent to work in other places, so Xiang Shaolong said nonsense: "He said he was ordered by someone from the prime minister's office, so we executed him on the spot.

After a lot of hard work, I managed to sneak back to the ranch."

Lu Buwei said "sincerely": "No wonder Shaolong misunderstood me. You are my close confidant, how could I do something so harmful to others and myself? Let me investigate this matter. I think it must be related to Du Bi. He

If you wholeheartedly support Cheng Chong Qiao, you must use this matter to destroy the relationship between the Queen Mother, the Prince, and you and me."

Xiang Shaolong immediately knew that the next people he had to deal with were Du Bi and Cheng Chong Qiao. It seemed that he could get along with them for the time being, but it was hard to say. He pretended to be surprised and said: "I didn't think about the matter that far.

.”

The clock rang and it was time to sit down.

Lu Buwei said hurriedly: "Now that the rain has passed and the sky has cleared, the misunderstanding has been resolved. Shaolong, please deal with Zhongxie and manage the defense of the royal city, and don't let me live up to my expectations of you."

On the surface, Xiang Shaolong is submissive, but in his heart, he has scolded all eighteen generations of his ancestors.

The atmosphere at the luncheon was generally harmonious.

Guan Zhongxie not only speaks appropriately and appropriately, but the most powerful thing is that he does not show any trace when he lifts people up. He is the kind of person who you can scold behind his back, but when talking face to face, you will never be bored.

.

Lu Gong and others also thought that this person was good, but they made the mistake of following Lu Buwei.

Zhu Ji showed her sophisticated coping skills and caring for the ministers, which made people feel like a spring breeze. She sang harmoniously with Lu Buwei and Cai Ze, which made the banquet more colorful.
