Chapter 81 Sixteen Guards

evening.

Yang Ergou resigned and returned.

Before he even stepped into the house, he was stopped by Xiao Fugui. He lowered his voice and said, "The young master is thinking about something inside. Let's be careful not to disturb him."

"Oh, I see." Yang Ergou nodded.

At this moment, Wu Wen's voice came from the room: "Come in."

Hearing this, the two of them walked in.

"Nothing happened in the East Palace, right?" Wu Wen looked at Yang Ergou and asked.

"No, everything is normal." Yang Ergou replied. Then he asked, "Sir, have you found a new house?"

"I encountered some minor trouble and was delayed. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Wu Wen replied.

He stood up and walked towards the door.

"There's still some time, let's go and get something to eat!"

Yang Ergou and Xiao Fugui hurriedly followed Wu Wen.

The three of them came to a restaurant. As soon as they entered the door, a waiter came up to them with a smile and said, "What would you like to eat, three of you?"

I found an empty seat and sat down first.

Wu Wen said, "Three pots of boiled mutton and ten pancakes."

Then he looked at Yang Ergou and Xiao Fugui and asked, "What are you eating?"

"I also want two pots of mutton and six pancakes." Yang Ergou replied with a smile.

Little Fugui couldn't eat as much as the other two, so he answered quietly, "I...just need a bowl of meat soup and a pancake."

"Three of you, this is so much, can you finish it?"

When the waiter saw that the three of them ordered so much food, he couldn't help but doubt whether they could finish it, so he kindly reminded them.

Yang Ergou took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and slapped it on the table, saying generously: "Don't worry about whether you can eat it or not, just go ahead, it's not worth your money!"

When the waiter saw the two hundred dollars on the table, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "I was too talkative."

Then, as he turned and left, he shouted, "Five basins of mutton, seventeen pancakes, and a bowl of broth!"

The guests at the surrounding tables who were also dining there couldn't help but glance at Wu Wen and the other two.

Not long after, the waiter came with a wooden plate in both hands and served two pots of mutton, a bowl of broth and six pancakes.

"Please enjoy your meal, the three of you. I'll take over right away!" After saying that, he turned and left.

"Eat it!"

Wu Wen picked up the chopsticks, brought a pot of mutton in front of him, picked up a piece of bread, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Yang Ergou was the same as Wu Wen. In comparison, Xiao Fugui was much more gentle. He took the small bowl of broth, tore the pancake into small pieces, soaked it in the soup, and chewed it slowly.

After finishing a pot of mutton, the waiter brought the remaining food.

He stood not far away, watching Wu Wen and Yang Ergou gobbling up so much mutton and pancakes like gluttons, and was so shocked that he couldn't help swallowing.

I looked at the stomachs of the two men suspiciously, thinking to myself: How come their stomachs didn't burst after swallowing so much food?

"Ah ~ comfortable!"

After eating and drinking his fill, Yang Ergou wiped his mouth with his hand, looking as if he was enjoying the meal.

"We're done eating, let's go!"

Wu Wen stood up and walked towards the door, followed closely by Xiao Fugui.

"Bill, please!"

Yang Ergou shouted loudly, and the waiter immediately came forward with a smile to collect the money.

on the way back.

Wu Wen could clearly feel that there were more and more eyes secretly observing him, probably because he had killed two bad guys in a row.

At this moment, a guard troop suddenly appeared in front and patrolled quickly in the direction of Wu Wen.

As this guard team appeared, the eyes that were secretly staring at Wu Wen suddenly retracted their gazes, as if they were avoiding something.

The guards passed by Wu Wen.

Wu Wen looked at their clothes. Yang Ergou whispered beside Wu Wen: "Sir, it's the Sixteenth Guard!"

Wu Wen nodded.

In Chang'an City, there are two teams that maintain order and peace in the city.

They are the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Court and the Six Guards of the Northern Court.

The Sixteen Guards of the Southern Court were stationed in the south of the palace and were known as the "City Protecting Army."

The six armies of the Northern Yamen were stationed in the Forbidden Garden in the north of the palace and were called the "Palace Guarding Army."

From Yu Youqing, Wu Wen learned that the Qin King's bad men were not unscrupulous in Chang'an City.

Among them, their biggest enemy is the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Court.

The reason for this is that most of the bad people have bad records. These people seriously affect the public security of Chang'an City, so they are the targets of the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Court.

"Sixteen Guards of the Southern Court!"

Wu Wen muttered softly, recalling the information about it in his mind.

The sixteen guards of the Southern Yamen are: Left and Right Guards, Left and Right Brave Guards, Left and Right Military Guards, Left and Right Mighty Guards, Left and Right Leading Army Guards, Left and Right Jinwu Guards, Left and Right Gate Guards, and Left and Right Thousand Oxen Guards.

These sixteen armies each had their own division of labor and were responsible for guarding the order and security of the city of Chang'an.

In addition, among these sixteen armies, the first twelve guards not only have to guard the safety of Chang'an City, but also have to remotely command the Zhechoufu of the world.

What is Zhechoufu?
Simply put, it is a local military unit.

These Zhechoufu are distributed all over the country, like the nerve endings of the Tang Empire, ready to deal with various emergencies at any time.

The Twelve Guards are the center of this nervous system, commanding the military operations across the country.

The remaining four guards are not idle either, they have more important responsibilities.

The Left and Right Gate Guards were responsible for guarding the city gates, while the Left and Right Thousand Oxen Guards were the emperor's personal bodyguards.

It can be said that the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Yamen were both the imperial guards guarding the capital and the headquarters commanding the national army.

Wu Wen suddenly thought of a question, turned to Yang Ergou and asked:
"Er Gou, who is the commander of the 16 guards of the Southern Court?"

Yang Ergou smiled and said, "Sir, have you forgotten? The King of Qin is the general of the Twelve Guards, which means that except for the other four guards, the first twelve of the sixteen guards of the Southern Court are under the command of the King of Qin!"

King Qin! No, this is not right!
Since the King of Qin is the general of the Twelve Guards, how could the bad guys who are also under the King of Qin be the targets of the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Yamen?

Wu Wen discovered this contradiction.

For a moment, he couldn't figure out the secret.

"Forget it, if you can't think of it, then don't think about it!"

Then, Wu Wen stopped thinking about this problem. It had nothing to do with him anyway. With his free time, he might as well analyze and deduce the skills.

Return to your residence.

Rest overnight.

the next day.

Wu Wen and Yang Ergou went to the East Palace together.

After showing up at Changlin Army, Wu Wen left for the library.

When he arrived at the attic on the fourth floor, he found that not only his master Li Chunfeng, whom he had not seen yesterday, was there, but also Yuan Tiangang.

"Junior Brother Wu!" Yuan Tiangang greeted him warmly when he saw him.

"Master, uncle!" Wu Wen bowed respectfully and walked forward.

"You came to see me yesterday, didn't you?"

Li Chunfeng asked with a smile, then walked to the desk, picked up the visualization diagram left by Wu Wen yesterday, and handed it to him.

"You left this behind yesterday. Here you go."

However, Wu Wen did not reach out to take the visualization diagram, but said: "Master, I have already succeeded in visualization, so I don't need this visualization diagram anymore."

"what?"

Hearing this, Li Chunfeng was shocked, with surprise and joy flashing in his eyes.
