Li Siye thought that his original worries were simply hesitant. Even if something happened to the East Palace, could the emperor kill all these thousands of people? When an avalanche occurs in the snowy mountains, no snowflake is innocent, but every snowflake cannot be eradicated.
.
He stopped thinking wildly and walked up the steps into the palace. The interior was similar to a military attache's meeting hall. There were desks directly above the desks and a snow leopard screen behind the desks.
There was no one in the hall at the moment, but two people came out of the side room. They were Prince Cao Jue and Chang Shi Changchun. As soon as Cao Jue saw Li Siye, a strange look appeared on his face and he stared at him and asked
: "You are Li Siye, do you recognize me?"
Of course, Li Siye had an impression. He remembered that before he defeated Zha Qile in the martial arts building, Cao Jue was the last person to take the stage. In the end, he still lost to Zha Qile and was almost thrown off the stage.
He rubbed his eyes in confusion, looked at Cao Jue carefully, shook his head and said, "No, I have never seen you at all."
Cao Jue breathed a sigh of relief and thought that would be fine.
He strode to the stage, knelt down in front of the screen, behind the desk, raised his hand and said loudly: "Everyone on duty today, come out!"
Nei Lü gave an order, and all the Qianniu, bodyguards and main soldiers of the mansion came out. They were all wearing blue and black cloth back armor, with copper plates inlaid on the chest and other major parts. They looked beautiful, relaxed, and majestic.
"Let's all meet the new guy, this Li Siye, who was appointed by the emperor as the crown prince."
As soon as Cao Jue said this, everyone raised their fists and congratulated in vain. Then more than a dozen soldiers and dozens of main soldiers left, leaving only three Qianniu in the hall.
"Where are the military officers who recorded the events, where are the military officers, and where are the military officers?"
Three officials in green robes came forward, folded their hands and reported: "My subordinates are here."
"Record the affairs and register Li Siye's rank. He is on the seventh rank. Salaries will be distributed in the future according to the seventh rank official system. The daily supply and rewards of the Prince's Mansion are not included."
"Bing Cao, Zhou Cao, give Li Siye his hair, armour, and weapons."
The Bing Cao and the Zhou Cao bowed their hands to Li Siye in courtesy and said, "Please Li Qianniu come with us."
…
He stood in the armored warehouse where Zhou Cao's office was located. There were five or six minor officials busy around him. Zhou Cao himself sat in front of the desk and made a list. Someone took it and read to the list: "A pair of rhinoceros leather Liuhe boots."
Then a clerk took the shoes off the shelf and put them on for Li Siye. If they didn't fit his feet, he could choose from the biggest to the smallest.
"The bamboo green tiger and leopard are missing two pieces of crotch robe."
He was currently in the guard period and could not wear the robe, so the clerk folded it and placed it on his hands.
"Mo Qing chest protector and belly protector cloth back armor."
The two clerks began to dress him, starting from the legs, with shin guards on the calves, short leg skirts on the thighs, belly protectors on the waist, and leather on the chest. In addition, the cloth back armor did not have any other parts.
What's the serving size.
Li Siye stood blankly, letting these people decorate his body, like a boring vase.
He suddenly asked: "Don't we wear iron armor?"
A Qianniu standing behind him sneered: "Why are you wearing that thing? It's so heavy. If you want to wear iron armor in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities. You need to wear iron armor when you go hunting in the palace and patrol with ceremonial guards. I can wear it on you."
Just wear it until you don't want to wear it."
"Yak leather trouser belt, matched with nine silver knives and black gauze futou."
A clerk squatted in front of him and tied the belt around his waist. Another clerk wrapped a turban on his head and tied four corners on the back of his head.
"Okay, let's go to the military warehouse."
Various weapons were displayed on the shelves in the military warehouse. After registering to join the army, a clerk led him to the weapons rack to receive the weapons, saying: "One is long and the other is short. The long sword is a horizontal sword, which is used for guarding in the palace.
The short sword is a barrier sword, used for carrying in plain clothes."
Li Siye raised his head and looked at another weapon lying on the sword rest. The scabbard was as white as ivory and was slightly longer than the horizontal sword by half a foot. It was so beautiful that it made his heart flutter for a cold weapon lover like him.
Li Siye pointed at it and asked: "This knife is good, can I..."
Joining the Army, who was sitting in front of the desk, glanced in his direction with a dissatisfied look on his face, probably because he had never seen such a talkative new official.
The clerk opened his mouth and said: "This is a ceremonial sword with a dragon and phoenix head. It is used by the prince as a guard of honor when he travels. I will naturally give it to you when you need it."
He took a knife from another shelf. It had no tassel, the handle was slightly long and could be wielded with both hands, and the ebony scabbard had gold-chiselled patterns. Then he knelt down and hung it on Li Siye's belt.
Li Siye's entire set of belongings was thus ready. He was about to leave under the leadership of two thousand cattle, when he suddenly saw a long knife covered in dust in the corner of the armory.
He turned back to the warehouse and looked up at the knife. Below it was a waxy handle, and above it was a glistening blade. The knife had a double edge, slightly narrower near the handle and wider at the top. The blade was sharp and could stab.
It can also be chopped. It stands in the corner and blooms with a cold feeling.
Joining the army and the clerks all followed his gaze and turned around, looking at the long weapon in the corner with confusion. They didn't know why the new Qian Niu was interested in this Mo Dao.
Li Siye wanted to create this sense of fate and ritual for himself, as if he saw this kind of knife for the first time in his life and became interested in it. This is very similar to the plot in some stories, but life must
There must be a sense of ritual, even if this sense of ritual is made.
The man behind him chuckled and said: "Are you interested in this kind of knife? This knife is not for ordinary people. It can only be used by cruel and murderous people who lick blood from the blade. This kind of knife can be used on the battlefield."
, with just one swing of the knife, it can cut off a person from the waist, and a war horse, and a war horse can also be cut off at the waist, and then all the intestines, heart, liver and five internal organs will flow out in a rush, and they will be spread into a pile of slime, and you can't tell them apart at all.
Which pile of intestines belonged to humans and which piles of intestines belonged to horses were all chopped into mud by the knife."
Li Siye felt nauseous after hearing this. Originally, he had fantasized about the majestic feeling of riding on a horse with this knife, but at this moment, he was filled with what he called horse intestines and human intestines, as well as pools of blood and mud. The atmosphere was completely changed.
He destroyed it.
The soldiers and the petty officials frowned and went about their own business, ignoring these bullshit.
The three of them walked out of the armory and began to introduce each other. The name of this Qianniu who spoke quite interestingly was Liu Ziwu. The other one spoke in a different way and liked to roll his tongue. He didn't seem to speak authentic Central Plains Mandarin, but he didn't look like him either.
Hu people.
"My name is Fujimaki."
"Li Siye." Li Siye looked back at him and asked, "There seems to be something wrong with your tone when you speak."
The fair and young Qianniu smiled: "I am a Japanese. My real name is Fujiwara Akisuke. I have been following the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty for several years, but I have not yet fully mastered the authentic Chinese Mandarin."
"Japanese?" Li Siye was surprised, thinking that the Li family and his son were so cruel that they allowed Japanese to serve as palace guards.
Liu Ziwu, who was standing aside, smiled: "This is a good nickname."
Fujimaki suddenly frowned, raised his hands and asked politely: "Brother Li, I have never met Brother Li. I have not offended you, right?"
"Oh, no. In fact, when I call you Guizi, it means a close relationship. It can be called that between friends."
"But as far as I know, that's not what the ancient books say." Fujimaki said with his fingers as he walked: ""Shuowen Jiezi" says that people are classified as ghosts, and those who follow people are like ghost heads, and ghosts are thieves.
Harm, from Si. In "Zuo Zhuan", Zichan said: Ghosts have a place to return, but they are not serious. "Liyun" also said: (Soul) Qi returns to heaven, and body and soul return to earth. Qian Bao of the Jin Dynasty
In the book "Sou Shen Ji", there is also a scene where Song Dingbo catches ghosts. Brother Siye, you can't fool me. Ghosts are a bad thing in our Tang Dynasty."
Li Siye was even more surprised and asked: "You are so knowledgeable, why do you want to be a palace guard?"
