"Yes, there is such a fierce warrior among the Jinyi Guards. From today on, he will be promoted to Qianhu, and his salary will be increased by eight stones!"
In ancient times, hunting was not only an entertainment activity, but also a time to compete in martial arts. Seeing a brave man like Li Xiao among the imperial guards, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty couldn't help stroking his beard. He was delighted and awarded a title.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Xiao's heart moved and he quickly handed over his hand to thank him.
At the same time, the Jin Yiwei on the court were all refreshed and rejoiced.
This hunting show of power is not only because Li Xiao won, but also represents the honor of Jinyiwei!
The Dongchang team was furious, especially Cao Shaoqin, who was even more depressed. This was originally the moment to show Dongchang's strength, but unexpectedly, they were suppressed by the Jin Yiwei, and they felt itchy with hatred.
At the same time, there was a strange look in Li Xiao's eyes!
After this incident, Zhu Ji couldn't help but look at Li Xiao with admiration.
The entire hunting process lasted for eight days. At noon on the ninth day, amidst the sounds of banquets and music, the returning Qiuwei team returned home with a full load and returned to the capital.
...
"Hoo ho ho."
On the training ground of the Longdong Supervisory Office School, hundreds of uniformed guards lined up neatly, holding embroidered spring knives in their hands, practicing the chopping movements of the blade. Every move was precise and vigorous.
Next to the school training ground, there was still a figure wrapped in black clothes. He stood there silently without saying a word, but a strong pressure also spread to the surroundings, giving people a faint feeling.
pressure.
This scene made the guards in uniform dare not slack off in the slightest while training.
At this moment, there was a brisk sound of horse hooves outside the gate.
Li Xiao, who had just returned from Zhenfusi, strode into the gate of Longdong Prison. He carried a black wild boar on his shoulder and pheasants, rabbits and other game in his left hand.
Although he was holding so many things, his steps were not slow at all.
When Li Xiao saw the Jinyi captains and warriors on the school training ground practicing rigorously, Li Xiao nodded secretly, looking quite satisfied.
Even during his absence, these subordinates did not slack off, which shows that the measures he took before have achieved good results!
...
There was a heavy "bang" sound, and several prey items were thrown to the ground by him, piled up into a small mountain of meat.
The Jin Yiwei who were practicing followed the sound and saw that adults from hundreds of families were coming back in Qiu Wei, and they all rushed up.
"Master Li, you are back."
"Could these be the harvest of this autumn round?"
"In previous years, we, the Imperial Guards, all came back empty-handed in the autumn."
The captains looked at the prey on the ground and couldn't help but whisper in surprise.
"This time Mr. Li performed well in the Qiu Wei and defeated the Dongchang. He was also praised by the emperor and promoted to Qianhu!" An accompanying school captain explained from the side.
...
After hearing this, all the Jinyi guards suddenly realized, and their faces showed joy.
"This time the castration party will be very angry."
"Haha, no matter how arrogant these eunuchs are, it's like a mountain is as high as a mountain. I think the four stalls in Dongchang are just in name only in front of Mr. Li!"
"Congratulations, sir, on your good luck!" Xiaoqi Kong Yun congratulated heartily.
"Your Excellency, you are really wise and powerful! I am good at this round of hammering, but when it comes to archery, Your Excellency is really a hundred times better than me." Lu Chong touched the back of his head and said naively.
Hearing the news, the guards in royal robes were all delighted and cheered! Li Xiao felt angry for everyone.
And if Li Xiao can be promoted step by step and have good official career, then they will naturally benefit from it!
"Okay, you can take down these game meats and share them." Li Xiao waved his hand and rewarded all the catches to his subordinates without feeling any distress.
"Thank you, sir!"
"We'll roast this meat together later, sir, will you join us?" Lu Chong stared at the game, and wiped the corners of his mouth with his palm as big as a cattail leaf fan.
"No, you can eat." Li Xiao chuckled and returned to his room!
Of course, the taste of these game foods is good, but in the modern world, Li Xiaoshan has also eaten some delicacies, so it doesn't matter if you look at these.
But in this scene, in everyone's eyes, Li Xiao is a model of caring for his subordinates, and everyone bursts into tears with gratitude!
...
The next day, after the appointment, Li Xiao was also officially promoted to Qianhu, which meant that he could command thousands of brocade guards, his salary was raised to sixteen stones, and he had ten hundred households under his banner. At the same time, the salary he could allocate was also
What's more, the salary of the captain under his command has also been increased from six dan to ten dan, and one person is powerful and can lead a house!
As a result, Li Xiao has already reached the upper-middle level among the entire Jinyiwei's power!
Now, in addition to the Longdong Supervisory Office, he is also in charge of the Supervisory Offices in Xigou and Yongning.
At the same time, using the information he had, Li Xiao learned that Cao Shaoqin had ordered the government officials to escort a pair of Yang Yuxuan's children to the frontier, and at the same time laid a dragnet to capture Zhou Huai'an in one fell swoop.
The time has come, and Li Xiao is ready.
On this day, Li Xiao called his right-hand men Kong Yun and Lu Chong.
The two stood respectfully in front of the hall, waiting for Li Xiao to speak.
"Would you two go with me to Longmen Pass to carry out a mission? This mission will affect the future fate of Jinyiwei." Li Xiao stood up, walked out of the desk, paced back and forth in front of them, and looked at them.
On the body, it is meaningful and authentic.
"I will obey your orders, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Kong Yun and Lu Chong swore allegiance, their eyes extremely firm.
The two of them were the most ordinary school lieutenants. If Li Xiao hadn't promoted people from among them, they wouldn't be where they are today.
At the same time, the strength and leadership demonstrated by Li Xiao also convinced them. The most fortunate thing for a guard is to follow a general who is both brave and resourceful. And Li Xiao has both of these, so they are determined to follow them all their lives.
Li Xiao's pace.
"Okay, you each select six elite men from under your command, select a few horses with wide feet, suitable for running in the desert, and follow me to Longmen Pass tomorrow night!"
"As you command!"
...
Night time.
A cavalry group of sixteen people marched out from the north gate of the imperial city.
Passing through Chicheng, Zhuozhen and Xigu.
Ten days later, a long stretch of yellow sand came into view in the distance, and even further away were rolling hills. The continuous yellow sand connected with the sky. It was impossible to imagine where the sand ended!
The heat wave and the strong wind are blowing in the face, rolling up the sand and dust, and the turbid fine sand is swirling in the air, making it almost difficult to open your eyes!
It is easy for ordinary people to get lost in the desert, but before coming to the desert, Li Xiao also paid for a merchant who often traveled through the desert. Someone would lead the way, which naturally saved a lot of trouble.
After another three days and three nights of driving in the desert, at noon that day, a house made of yellow rocks and earth finally appeared in front of everyone.
It is like a small hill coiled there, no matter how violent the wind and sand are, it still stands erect.
And on a dilapidated flag erected next to the inn, four big characters were vaguely visible: Longmen Inn!
