Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1268
With the arrival of the general, the atmosphere in Shicheng climbed to a new high.

However, the large-scale battle formation that everyone expected was not staged. After welcoming the general, the officers and men of the military government took a stand and settled in the barracks on the west side of Shicheng to wait for the selection and formation of new troops in the subsequent military exercises.In such a hot weather, sitting still is hard to bear the scorching heat, and it is not a good time for military exercises.

Shen Zhezi stood on the general's platform in the stone city with his sword in hand, watching the sergeants passing in front of him in a neat line, and waited until the last soldier had gone away, then walked down the high platform surrounded by his own soldiers, and turned to a camp.

After entering the camp, he still stood motionless under the shade of a tree in the courtyard, but stared at Jiang Hei with his sweat-soaked eyes.God knows what kind of torture it is to wear such a bright armor in such a hot summer day. He is already sweating profusely at this moment, as if he is in a steamer.

The surface of the silver armor was scorching hot, and Shen Zhezi suspected that it could make pancakes, and he didn't even dare to touch it. In his heart, he cursed Jiang Xi many times for planning such an appearance.Fortunately, in the past few years, he has not blindly pampered himself in Luoyang, and exercised daily to keep his body strong, otherwise this appearance alone would kill him half of his life.

The soldiers brought ice water and splashed it on the silver armor. Immediately after seeing white smoke rising from the general's body, Jiang Xi was still snickering with his head down, but he was taken aback when he peeked at this scene. So far, I have offended the general this time.

He laughed dryly and stepped forward and said: "The army is magnificent, and it is the most capable of dispelling people's distracting thoughts. The general's appearance is so impressive, and all the viewers feel awe-inspiring, which is better than many words..."

"The king of Zhou, Muji, is full of virtue and character, but Jiang Sixuan coincides with the ancient way."

Shen Zhezi smiled coldly after hearing the words, but his face was so red from steam, this so-called sneer looked really hot.

Jiang Xi was stunned with a smile on his face, and then he saw the general walk into the dormitory with his hands behind his back as if he had been salvaged from the water after removing his armor, and ignored him while Shen Yun was holding a big ice bucket in his arms Come on, seeing Jiang Xi still standing there stupidly, he laughed: "Brother-in-law can't understand what the general is saying? He is really in a bad mood right now, so you just shut up obediently, and if you speak again, you will be inferior!" "

Jiang Xi was far more knowledgeable than Shen Yun. After hearing the words, he rolled his eyes at him. Seeing that there was no one around, he approached Shen Yun and whispered, "According to Wulang, where is the most likely place for the general to repay him?"

After Shen Yun heard the words, he looked down at the ice bucket in his arms, then bent down to put it down, and then glanced at Jiang Xi, and also sneered: "The general has a deep heart, I guess he won't be as rough as me..."

Jiang Xi was a smart person anyway, he understood instantly, turned around and hurried out of the corridor in a hurry, making up his mind to avoid approaching this brother in the near future.

After watching the military salute, all the people on the watchtower were led down the watchtower again, and then they lined up the long stairs and walked into the hall in the center of Shicheng.

Li Chong of Jingzhao Mansion, who had been renamed Li Hong, stood in front of the hall to greet Shiliu. Although he smiled kindly, to Guanlong Shiliu, who knew his style well, he always felt that this smile was quite creepy. Panicked, so that the excitement of watching the ceremony just now cooled down a little bit.

There are many insides and outsides of this palace, and the deepest and tallest pavilion is still sealed off. After all, General Shen is patrolling the pass on behalf of the king, and it is still insurmountable in terms of etiquette.

But even the outermost halls are extremely deep, more than enough to accommodate thousands of people.The interior style of the hall is as simple as the exterior, only some plain curtains are hung to cover the walls, and at the same time divide the hall into small areas.

In fact, there is no lack of doubts about the simplicity of the entire stone city inside and outside. Since the stone city has been under construction since last autumn, it is impossible not to reserve enough time for carving the interior according to the strong execution of the platform. Why? Still so, is there a deep meaning in it?
Among the participants, there were many serving officials on the platform, and everyone was suspicious, so they couldn't help asking. Some people even expressed eagerly that if the platform was insufficient, they could also be donated by rural households to complete the interior and exterior decoration of the city.After all, such a grand event will become a customized ceremony, and those who attend the event should also bear such obligations.

"Sit down, everyone. The reason why this city is like this is because the general ordered it specially. Therefore, the purpose of creating this city lies in advocating power and invigorating martial arts, as well as collecting satire and advice. It is not for leisure and pleasure. The carvings are too gorgeous, which will inevitably make people tired of eyes. , impetuous and slack, so sticking to the essence is also to guard against the loss of the common people and the village, so as not to lose their original intentions."

The officials who were questioned laughed and explained that when everyone heard this explanation, regardless of whether they thought it was reasonable or not, on the surface they all acted like they suddenly realized that General Shen was self-restraining and inspirational, and he really deserved the reputation of being heroic and wise.

At present, the general has not yet entered the palace, taking advantage of this leisure time, he discussed the magnificence of the previous military ceremony.At the same time, the news that the Yongzhou governor's office was ordered to select a strong military mansion and form a fine army also spread.

After hearing this news, everyone present couldn't help sighing in their hearts. No wonder Xingtai martial arts is so prosperous, and this high standard of excellence has to be admired.

From their point of view, those military officers and soldiers are all powerful and can be reused, but they did not expect that according to the standard of the platform, these military officers and soldiers are still rough iron embryos, and they have to go through more demanding forging and refining Only then can you become a real brave army!

The touch brought by the military salute before has not faded away, and everyone does not think that this move will further suppress their hometown.They are also happy to see that their Kansai soldiers can officially join the Xingtai Baisheng team.

Everyone sat in separate seats, and although they were a little anxious that General Shen hadn't arrived yet, they didn't appear too eager.While exchanging greetings with each other, someone suddenly discovered that Di Chief Fu Hong, who was originally imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion, was also present.

Fu Hong looked a bit haggard, but he was in a good state of mind. Sitting at the banquet, he was still laughing and chatting with the people around him, as if he was no longer bothered.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help being curious, and many people looked at Li Hong, did this guy change his mind?After being imprisoned by the county government, someone can still go out like this with all their beards and tails!Or maybe Fu Hong hadn't lied before, he was indeed a domestic servant who had a close relationship with the General, because he was under the care of the General?

But if there is such a relationship, why did the general not even see him when the chaos happened that day, and let the county government arrest him, and even the general avoided suspicion and left the new city afterwards?
Sitting in an inconspicuous position in the hall, Fu Hong could feel everyone's curious sizing up on him.In fact, his own mood is extremely complicated, both shameful and remorseful, but also uneasy, and the curiosity of others is also present in his heart. He really doesn't know what kind of attitude General Shen has towards him, and who is going to greet him? What.

"Everyone, I'm really sorry for the long wait."

When everyone was full of doubts, there was a clear voice at the entrance of the hall. Without the notice of the waiter, General Shen had already walked into the hall slowly, and said to everyone with his fists clasped.

Hearing this voice, everyone hurriedly got up, and when they looked at General Shen, their eyes lit up again.

At this moment, the general had already replaced his military armor, and was only wearing a plain white shirt with a broad collar, a rhinoceros belt buckle around his waist, a fat jade crown on his head, a folding fan clasped under his fingers, and soft buckskin boots on his feet. Elegant and elegant, like a bright pearl shining on a person, he is a handsome gentleman.

Seeing the great general's demeanor, everyone couldn't help being slightly stunned for a moment. They felt that the noble young man in front of them couldn't be connected with the military commander who was so powerful and unparalleled in the school ground before.

Of course, there are many people present who walked into Heluo in the early years and were fortunate enough to see the other side of the general besides the army, but they also seem to be a young man with a dignified and serious attitude of a powerful minister. It is rare to see such a friendly and easy-going side.

"Greetings, greetings, General!"

They were so surprised that everyone hesitated even when they saluted. If they hadn't seen Huan Xuan, Jiang Xi and other important officials still respectfully following behind him, they would have even wondered whether the noble young man in front of him was similar to the general's description to play tricks on them.But after thinking about it again, General Shen is handsome and handsome, it is rare in the world, where can I find such a cool person.

However, as the surprise in their hearts gradually calmed down, everyone couldn't help feeling that the general he had seen before was too majestic, but the calm and elegant posture he saw now made people feel easy-going and amiable.

"You don't need to stick to the etiquette. Today's banquet is to drink and have fun with the sages of Guanxi, and to congratulate me on the prosperity of the king."

Shen Zhezi waved his hands with a smile, rolled up his sleeves, and then strode up to the hall. After walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something. The eight-year-old boy said with a smile: "The Taiwei respects the children, and Zhang Lang will come with me?"

Seeing the general like this, everyone noticed this young man.This young man was also tall and straight, with a dignified and handsome appearance, and he was standing only half a body behind Huan Xuan, which was also an extremely conspicuous position.It's just because everyone focused their attention on the general just now, but they didn't see him.

"Who is this young man? How could he be treated so courteously by the General?"

Some people in the crowd couldn't help being puzzled, and after a while, there was a whispered introduction, saying that this young man is Zhang Chonghua, the heir of Zhang Jun from Liangzhou.Knowing his identity, everyone will understand that the Zhang family is the only one in the west of the river, and two years ago it was naturalized, and Zhang Jun sent his heir to pay homage to the general, which is justified.

Zhang Chonghua was trained by Zhang Jun as his heir when he was young, and he was not stage frightened. When he heard the general greet him, he first took a small step back and thanked him, and then followed the general to the hall.

Although his gestures are quite polite, everyone can also see that his limbs are slightly stiff, which shows that the young man's mood is probably not as calm as it appears on the surface.However, the crowd didn't laugh at the immaturity of the young man, and even if he didn't deliberately show his majesty, it still gave people a kind of pressure that was hard to relieve.
