Big Song Xiaohou Ye

Chapter 137
Li Ce bid farewell to Zhao Zhen, and hurried out of the palace. When he reached Xuanyou Gate, he heard a commotion from a long distance away. He looked up and saw three or four people standing at the door with their heads bowed. , one of them was pointing at their noses and yelling, looking extremely fierce.

When I got closer, I saw that there were several eunuchs. The three low-level eunuchs were wearing blue and black eunuch uniforms. The one who reprimanded them seemed to be a leader. He was in his 50s, but his face was wrinkled. , especially a pair of eyes, revealing a sinister air.

Li Ce walked by, and couldn't help turning his head to look twice more. The eunuch leader didn't notice Li Ce at the beginning, he put one hand on his hip, and pointed the forehead of one of the little eunuchs with the other hand, poking randomly: "Huh! Xiaode Son, you are getting more and more excited now, thinking that if you climbed up to that old dog Yan Wenying, you can ignore the miscellaneous family, don't you? How dare you refuse to do what the miscellaneous family told you?"

When Li Ce heard Yan Wenying's name, he couldn't help being startled. Eunuch Li had saved him, and the old eunuch in front of him seemed extremely dissatisfied with Yan Wenying.

The little eunuch named Xiao Dezi was so frightened that he was half dead, crying and mourning: "Grandpa Lei, please forgive me. It's not that I, Xiao Dezi, didn't listen to you, Eunuch Yan. It's just that Eunuch Yan insisted that the medicinal materials in the Royal Medicine Garden should be checked by him. What do you say?" The medicine shop of Wang’s family outside the city, his medicinal materials are uneven, Eunuch Yan has already vetoed it, Xiao Dezi will not dare to disobey Eunuch Yan again and buy from his family.”

"Hmph, you don't dare to disobey that old dog, you dare disobey the miscellaneous family?!" The old eunuch known as Lei Gonggong asked sharply.When he finished speaking, he looked up and found Li Ce stopped to listen to himself, so he couldn't help squinting his eyes and looked at Li Ce.

Seeing him looking at him, Li Ce couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, and walked away. It turned out that the eunuchs were fighting for power.

"stop!"

Unexpectedly, the old eunuch called Li Ce to stop.

Li Ce stopped and looked back. The old eunuch looked him up and down, and said, "What do you do? Who let you enter the palace?"

Li Ce was funny for a while, how dare you, a eunuch, control me?Eunuchs are slaves, and those who are slaves dare to act like a master.

"What do you do?" Li Ce asked back.

"Hmph, you don't know Zajia?" The old eunuch stared at him and sneered.

"I don't know." Li Ce answered very simply, he thought, you are an old eunuch, do I need to know you?

"The miscellaneous family is the east head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to worship Lei Yungong." The old eunuch said proudly, he expected that Li Ce would turn pale with shock if this title was handed over.

Sure enough, he guessed right, Li Ce said in shock: "Your name is Lei Yungong?"

Seeing his expression, Lei Yungong couldn't help but nodded triumphantly, looking at Li Ce with disdain.

"Oh, I've never heard of it." Li Ce rolled his eyes and said.

"Huh?" Lei Yungong's face was serious, this kid actually dared to tease himself.

"I know a father-in-law in charge of the hut whose surname is Lei, is that you?" Li Ce said solemnly, thinking hard.

"Bold! How dare you tease the miscellaneous family!" Lei Yungong's face was ashen, no one in the harem dared to be so rude to him, even the court officials were polite when they saw him, this brat actually dared to mock himself!
After he finished speaking, he wanted to come up and slap Li Ce.This move made Li Ce furious. He took a step back and said with a cold face: "Think about it, you are quite old, if you accidentally fall down, and you are paralyzed or something, you will spend the rest of your life But I spent it on the bed." After he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, looking like he was ready to fight at any time.

Lei Yungong froze, secretly saw the three little eunuchs giggling, the old man blushed, pointed at Li Ce and said, "Boy, it doesn't matter if you don't know the Zajia, but do you know the Prime Minister Ding Wei? The Zajia and the Prime Minister have always been on good terms. I have offended the Prime Minister, hmph, your official career has come to an end! The Zajia will give you a chance now, as long as you kneel down and kowtow to the Zajia, the Zajia may consider letting you go."

Okay, it turned out to be Ding Wei's gang, his deadly enemy, seeing the old eunuch's arrogance, he also knew that he was not a good guy, and besides, he and Yan Wenying were at odds, anyway, he accepted Yan Wenying's favor, and Yan Wenying He has a good friendship with Chen Yaozuo, and Lei Yungong is destined to be different from him. He wants to find a way, so there is no need for him to show him any more face.

Li Ce looked at Lei Yungong, and Lei Yungong also looked at him with a sneer. He was waiting for Li Ce to beg for mercy.The corner of Li Ce's mouth raised, and he snorted coldly and said, "It was the Queen Mother and His Majesty who announced me to enter the palace just now. What's your problem, Mr. Lei? Your Majesty sent me out just now. I haven't gone far yet. How about I call you?" Come back, you can ask yourself?"

Lei Yungong didn't expect that he would bring out Ding Wei, but this boy would actually bring out the Queen Mother and His Majesty, his face turned dark for a moment, he didn't dare to be rude to the Queen Mother and His Majesty, so he could only look at Li Ce with hatred.

Li Ce looked at him annoyed, and laughed in his heart: I haven't done anything to you yet?You just made yourself so angry.

A slave who forgets his duty will suffer sooner or later... Li Ce shook his head and strode away.

"Go, find out who this kid is, and report him right away!" Lei Yungong stared at Li Ce's back and said viciously.

As Li Ce walked, he couldn't help sighing in his heart. In this era, if you want not to be bullied by others, you must be in power and powerful. Only when you are truly strong can you not be looked down upon by others, and you can protect yourself and the people around you. ……I want to be stronger!
The imperial army was originally intended to be the emperor's guards, but in the Song Dynasty, the imperial army was the regular army of the Song Dynasty. At this time, there were about 60 imperial troops in the country, half of which were guarding the capital, and the rest were scattered around the country.

The most famous of the Imperial Guards in the Northern Song Dynasty are the four armies, namely Pengri, Longwei, Tianwu and Shenwei, collectively referred to as the Fourth Army.Pengri and Tianwu are mainly stationed in Kaifeng, while the other two armies are stationed in various places.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the right to command troops was separated from the right to dispatch troops. The power to command troops belonged to the three yamen. The three yamen were: Dianqian Division, Guard Horse Army Division, and Guard Infantry Division. , The Sanya is in charge of the national imperial army, and only has the right to command the army, but not the right to send troops.

The Privy Council is responsible for sending troops, just like the Supreme Military Council.The chief of the Privy Council consists of the Privy Council Envoy and the Privy Council Deputy Envoy. There is only one envoy, Zhang Qi. serve.

Zhang Qi was a good old man, he never offended anyone, and he was about to retire, so he turned a blind eye to everything and left it to Cao Wei and Xia Song, two deputy privy envoys, to take care of it.

Cao Wei's loose official position is General Hussars, so colleagues or subordinates sometimes call him General Cao, but this General Hussars is just a false position, that is, it is just an honor, and his real power is the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

When Li Ce came to the Privy Council, he happened to meet Cao Wei going out, and Li Ce hurried forward to explain the situation with great joy.

Cao Wei's impression of Li Ce was quite good. This kid is bold, bloody, and he has a good temper with him.When he heard about Li Ce's intentions, he laughed and said, "My boy, I have you. The old man is going to the Tianwu Army (a branch of the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty), why don't I take you to have a look!"

Li Ce just wanted to find a light errand to do, but he didn't expect to go down to the grassroots again, but Cao Wei had already sent a message, and he had to go, so he had to follow behind resentfully.

The two rode horses, Cao Wei talked all the way, Li Ce listened all the way, and before he knew it, he had already learned about the military system of the Song Dynasty from Cao Wei.

Cao Wei, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, is like the deputy commander-in-chief of the national army. The Tianwu Army he is going to now can be regarded as a certain garrison in the capital, belonging to the Guard Infantry Division in Sanyazhong.The chief of the Tianwu Army is Officer Yuchi Junmai, he can be regarded as the commander of the entire Tianwu Army, and the following are the commanders and commanders.

The two talked all the way, and arrived at the Tianwu Army in a short while. Seeing Cao Wei, the guards of the barracks respectfully invited him to the camp of the Chinese Army, and Yuchi Junmai had already walked out quickly.

"I have seen General Cao in a humble position." Yu Chijun is in his 40s, with a thick back and a beard on his face, exuding a sturdy air. Although he looks rough, his heart is not rough at all. This man Very shrewd, how can someone who can command one of the Fourth Army of the Great Song Dynasty be a reckless man?
"I brought a junior to General Yuchi today. The Queen Mother said that I would find him a position in the army, and I will send him to you." Cao Wei stroked his beard and smiled.Yuchi Junmai was single-handedly picked up by him. Cao Wei admired him very much, so he brought Li Ce here today.

Yuchi Junmai couldn't help looking at Li Ce, the queen mother nodded, and it was General Cao who sent it in person. This white-faced boy has a lot of face, so he must be a son of another family, right?

Li Ce saw that Yuchi Junmai looked at him with suspicion in his eyes, how could he not see the meaning of that, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart: Damn, in this era, literati and warriors look down on each other, and he became a monk half way , Get a nondescript identity, the literati say that they are warriors, and disdain to be with them;
Cao Wei was stroking his beard at the side, with a slight smile on his face. This old guy is actually very ghostly. The reason why he brought Li Ce here today is to try Li Ce's skills with Yuchi Junmai's hand. Everyone said that this kid is a Quick news, but after all, there are many exaggerated elements in the rumors.

Yuchi Junmai looked Li Ce up and down, and said with a curl of his mouth: "Old General Cao, I have always respected you as a person. Since you brought him here, he must not be an ordinary person, but our Tianwu Army is the first class in the Song Dynasty." One of the elite, the officers and soldiers of the army, no matter how high or low they are, all speak by their strength, if the subordinates do not have some real skills, I am afraid that even if we nod, the brothers below will not accept it."

What Yuchi Junmai said is very clear, don't care who arranged the person, if you don't have the ability, don't try to hang out with me, I don't care who you are.

Cao Wei frowned slightly, and said, "Yuchi, you don't know yet, this kid has a lot of background, he has made a surprise attack on Weizhou, and he is Li Ce who has been in the limelight recently."

Yuchi smiled slightly and said, "The rumors may not be true."

Li Ce looked at the two people talking to each other, clearly singing a double reed, secretly cursing the two old foxes.

"Whether it is true or not, you will know once you try it." Li Ce replied lightly.

"Okay, come, come, Xuanjin Gunying!" Yuchi Junmai laughed, as if he was waiting for Li Ce's words.

Cao Wei murmured in his heart, this Yuchi Junmai is too real, and the people from the Xuanjin Gun Battalion came to compete with Li Ce. The Golden Spear Battalion is the elite of the Tianwu Army, and there are only more than 300 people in the whole battalion. All of them are good players with one against ten.

Li Ce didn't know the name of the Golden Spear Battalion, but seeing Yuchi Junmai's complacent expression, he knew that this old boy had no good intentions.

Now Li Ce is quite confident in his archery skills. He is now diligently cultivating the Kunlun Jue passed on to him day and night, and constantly refining the skills passed on to him by Guan Yiqi. Now his internal strength has made a qualitative leap. , and he had tried it in private, if he simply shoots an arrow, he can know whether he can hit it, as long as he glances at it.

Soon, a loud noise came from far and near. Li Ce followed the trend and saw a group of fully armed Song soldiers walking towards this place with neat steps.

Sure enough, the momentum was different. Li Ce could tell the difference in this team of soldiers at a glance. In addition to the uniform armor and weapons, the pervasive murderous aura and solemnity were also extremely compelling.

Damn this old boy must have taken out the treasure at the bottom of the box, Li Ce cursed secretly.

"The last general, Han Shanyi, led three hundred soldiers from the Golden Spear Battalion to report." The leader was eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was wearing bright armor, shining brightly under the sun, and looked extremely brave.

This person's name is Han Shanyi, he is the commander of the Golden Spear Battalion, and the entire Golden Spear Battalion is commanded and trained by him.This man's marksmanship comes from family traditions, and his golden spear is famous all over the world. He was also a master in the martial arts in the past. He is famous, but no one who is a master of guns knows his name.

Cao Wei frowned secretly. This Yuchi Junmai who is not enlightened, his original intention was to test Li Ce. There are many ways to test it. It doesn't necessarily have to be a contest of force. Whether it is Weizhou or the siege of Zhending Mansion, Li Ce is relying on tricks, a strategy of anticipating the enemy first, this Yuchi fool will simply try to fight, and he still doesn't make progress after so many years !

"What are you talking about?" Yuchi Junmai asked Li Ce.

"May I ask General Yuchi, what is the Liao people best at?" Li Ce didn't answer his question, but asked back.

Yuchi Junmai was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "Horse riding and archery."

"That's right. Since we're fighting the Liao people, we need to be familiar with their fighting style, like archery." Li Ce cleverly said what he is best at, but it's still so high-sounding.

"Okay, let's try archery. Here, among the [-] soldiers in the rear, you can choose one to compete." Yuchi Junmai smiled confidently, pointing to the [-] soldiers of the Golden Spear Battalion who were waiting for the battle.

Li Ce shook his head with a smile, but didn't speak.

Seeing this, Cao Wei finally couldn't help but said: "Yuchi, you are too strong. Li Ce was born as a scholar. You compare him with the most powerful elite in the Japanese army. Isn't that a clear bully? Your three hundred gold The soldiers of the gun battalion are all selected out of ten thousand, and even the general soldiers are not their opponents at all."

Yuchi Junmai hadn't spoken yet, but Han Shanyi glanced at Li Ce first, and then sneered, looking extremely disdainful.

Yuchi Junmai said proudly: "This is what you taught me, General Cao. The Liao people don't care what your origin is, are you right?" After he finished speaking, he grinned. Uglier than crying... This Yuchi Junmai looks rough on the outside, but his heart is not rough at all.

Cao Wei glared at him angrily, he really deserved to be brought out by himself, this brat was just as stubborn as he was back then.He had no choice but to pull Li Ce quietly, and said in a low voice, "Guan Yiqi's archery skills, how much have you learned?"

Li Ce was amused in his heart, the old guy was afraid that he would lose too much later and lose him.

"It's okay."

Cao Wei's old face suddenly stretched, and he glared at Li Ce and threatened: "Anyway, don't lose too badly, the old man has never lost face in this army in this life!"

"If you lose, you lose, what's the big deal." Li Ce pursed his lips and deliberately annoyed him. It was you, an old bastard, who deliberately let people test me. Don't think I don't know.After speaking, he took a step forward and said loudly: "Which one of you can shoot the most accurately?"

Han Shanyi snorted coldly, but didn't answer. He felt that Li Ce was really bluffing. He had seen a lot of young masters like him in the world, and they were all embroidered pillows, which were fancy but not useful.

"Hey, your eyes are sick? Why do you keep looking up at the sky? The sun is so big, don't you think it's dazzling?" Li Ce couldn't stand Han Shanyi's superior attitude, so he deliberately sarcastically said.

"You..." Han Shanyi turned cold and stared angrily.

Cao Wei almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He stepped forward and kicked Li Ce, but Li Ce dodged it. When the old guy moved, he felt something was wrong.

Li Ce turned around and smiled at him, then said to Han Shanyi: "Stop being cool, you pick a good player, let's put on airs and make gestures."

"Ma Wu!" Han Shan stared at him angrily, and shouted without looking back.

"Yes!" A big man came out of the queue in response.

On the side, some soldiers had already taken bows and arrows, and set up a target a hundred meters away.

That Song Bing named Ma Wu seemed disdainful to compete with Li Ce. He just glanced at Li Ce and didn't even look him in the eye.

Li Ce cursed in his heart: Damn, who is this?Eyes grow to the sky?Isn't it just a camp of golden guns? Let's see if I can give you one by one. I will show my hand later, when you all cry!
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, I'll come first!" Li Ce took the bow and arrow after speaking, and tried to pull the bowstring.

"Too light, get another pair!" Li Ce smacked his lips.

"Huh?" Ma Wu's expression was a little startled, because this bow is a hard bow commonly equipped in the Song Dynasty army. Although it is not a particularly strong bow, its maximum bow strength is more than one stone. If you want to pull this bow like a full moon, you will not It is also not an easy task, but this white-faced boy is so arrogant that he takes it lightly.

"I'm not afraid that Feng Da will flash his tongue." Han Shanyi sneered.

"Shanyi! Go get a new bow." Yuchi Junmai stopped him, saying that Li Ce was also brought by Cao Wei. He didn't look at the monk's face but at the Buddha's face. General Cao's face still needs to be taken care of, just in case If you annoy this old guy, you will be unable to eat and walk around.
