The military system of the government is gradually twilight, the soldiers of the southern government are not accepted, the military salary should become more and more cramped, the inside and outside are not enough, and the general has become a beggar, and the generals and officials are transferred from the south to the north of the government, in the eyes of the world, they are all regarded as high promotions, and ten thousand horsemen and thousands of cattle are all known as a strong army with a prestige, and it can be regarded as a happy event.

Quan Xiancheng and Xie Yaohuan made a handover, and then returned to the house to make tea, and the relatives and friends who came to congratulate came one after another, Quan Xiancheng hid difficult things in his heart, but it was also inconvenient to disobey the kindness of everyone, and ordered people to gather singing, dancing, wine and food, and force them to accompany each other.

The wine was half-drunk, but new guests came, Xue Chongyin and Liu Youqiu came to congratulate.

The banquet was slightly quiet, although all the officials present were eunuchs in the court, most of them were sunk into the subordinates, and there was no way to heaven, Quan Xiancheng's Sanpin General was already regarded as one of the leading figures, who was Xue Chongyin, the eldest son of Princess Taiping and Xue Shao, who Liu Youqiu was, as a courtier and a servant, to protect his benefactor.

The two came together, the meaning could not be more obvious, Quan Xiancheng's joy of promotion came from the hands of Princess Taiping, although it was not necessary to let him report it, but it was necessary to know grace.

"Sit down, I'll go to greet you" Quan Xiancheng was exhausted, Wu Chenghei persecuted, Princess Taiping came to show grace inexplicably, sandwiched between these heavenly nobles, the road ahead is confusing, one careless, that is a catastrophe, stretched out his hand to the eldest son Quan Yu to signal, father and son got up and left the table.

"I'll wait with the general" Everyone didn't dare to hold up, so they got up one after another and greeted them together.

While speaking, the two figures turned around the shadow wall, walked along the path to the moon gate of the back garden, Quan Xiancheng took a few steps, bowed to the ground, "The last general Quan Xiancheng, with the dog Quan Zhu, meet Wei Guogong, meet Liu Shilang"

Xue Chongyin's official position is low, but the title is high, he and Xue Chongjian, a Duke of Weiguo, a Duke of Yingguo, are all dukes of the country, although they are not as good as the direct descendants of the Wu family, Wu Sansi's sons of the county king, but they are also higher than the third generation of the Wu family, Wu Chongmin, Wu Chongxing and others, are all county dukes.

Xue Chongyin took this trip, it was arranged by his mother, and he couldn't shirk it, but his mother moved out of his cousin again, saying that it was a matter of the overall situation, which made him lose his temper, and looked down at the father and son in front of him, and helped him out, "General Quan, please get up, Chongyin has always admired the general, and I heard that Liu Shilang was going to come to congratulate him, so he followed, if the general is polite, it is equivalent to chasing guests, Chongyin is afraid that it will not be easy to enter the door."

Liu Youqiu smiled when he said this, and Quan Xiancheng also breathed a sigh of relief, "Guogong's words are serious, thank you for the kindness of the waiter, the cold house is simple, and please wait for Guogong to wait, and the officials will do some measures."

Quan Xiancheng is a little busy, the banquet is half crippled, it is not suitable to be used to entertain guests, not to mention the royal guests, it is always necessary to re-organize.

"The general is polite, his mind is here, as long as the general is not disgusted, he can be disturbed at any time, not for a while" Xue Chongyin stopped him, standing still steadily, "I heard that the general has a general, and when I see it today, it is worthy of the name"

Quan Xiancheng's heart suddenly hung in the air, Quan Yu was on an errand in Yulinwei, his martial arts were mediocre, and it was not noticeable, Xue Chongyin deliberately mentioned it, I was afraid that there was another deep meaning, and he said carefully, "The national prince has won the award, the dog is stubborn and mediocre, and he is useless, and the last general has intended to send him to Beijing to experience it."

"Oh? If the general has this intention, but it is just right, the fireworks army soldiers strive for excellence, and the officers are even more one in a million, I look at Linglang, the heart is calm and sharp, and I can make up for it, the general should not dislike the fireworks army temple small" Xue Chongyin followed the words and was straightforward.

Quan Xiancheng's heart moved slightly, joy came to his heart, and then he muttered for a moment, "Guogong is good, I shouldn't worry too much, it's just that Li Duwei's side ......"

"Lieutenant Li has not yet arrived, and I will take care of the military affairs of the Fireworks Army" Xue Chongyin said proudly, categorically, the Fireworks Army became a cousin, grew up in his cousin, and retrained himself, no one can change it, just Li Zhan, even if he arrives, what can he do?

"So, thank you Guogong" Quan Xiancheng beloved his son, there is an option to save his life without going to the side, that is the best, and he pulled Quan Yu to salute and thank you.

"Don't be polite, Chongyin still has to thank the general for cutting his love" Xue Chongyin said a few beautiful words on the scene, completed the task, did not stay long, arranged for Quan Yu to enter the camp, and left, leaving Liu Youqiu to deal with the scene of congratulations.

Three days later, in the early morning, the sky was just bright, and Quan Xiancheng sent Quan Yu out of Luoyang Changxia Gate.

"The fireworks military law is strict, the training is hard, my son must not be lazy" After looking at the eldest son for a long time, Quan Xiancheng only squeezed out such a sentence.

"Son, I will never dare to insult my father's prestige" Quan Yu was full of ambition.

Father and son were opposed, speechless for a long time, Quan Yu dismounted, bowed to his father, and rode away.

Quan Xiancheng sat on a horse, motionless for a long time, the winter wind blew the hair on his sideburns, he was less than forty years old, his hair was gray, looking at the official road in the distance, the grass on both sides was green, meandering to the point of not seeing, escaping Wu Chenghe's calculations, but falling into the palm of Princess Taiping, always felt a chill in his heart.

"Master, it's time to go back......" The guard next to him reminded softly.

Quan Xiancheng turned the horse's head before entering the Changxia Gate Cave, but saw thick smoke billowing not far away, and scarlet flames rising into the sky.

"Walking in the water, walking in the water"

"Bang ......"

The messengers who patrol the night beat gongs and drums in all directions, hissing and screaming, and the residents were awakened, and they swarmed out of the courtyard, disheveled, women cried, children made trouble, and the originally empty and quiet streets were instantly crowded, like a boil, and many officials rushed to report everywhere.

"Where is that?" The guards protected Quan Xiancheng in his heart, squeezed out of the street against the wall, turned into the alley, everyone was sweating, Quan Xiancheng stretched his neck, and he could see pieces of smoke and dust.

"Master, it's like Luoyang Mansion" The guard estimated it, and was a little uncertain.

Luoyang Mansion? Quan Xiancheng was shocked.

If it's an accident, it's okay, but if it's intentional, who is so bold to rush to find trouble in Luoyang Mansion?

The question is, could it be an accident?

"Catch him, shoot him, arsonist"

"Fathers, and calm, the state has national laws, and it is to use him as an official, abuse lynching, and carefully commit official wrongdoings"

……

In Xin'an County, in the barracks tent of the Fireworks Army, Li Zhan sat on the main seat, glanced at Xue Chongyin, the lieutenant on the left side of the lower head, and then looked at the heroic but unruly officers in the tent.

Li Zhan's heart was blocked, not to blame Wu Yanji for not being able to sit firmly in the position of captain, nor to blame Hou Sizhi for not being willing to enter this big camp, seeing him coming, he slowly withdrew all the soldiers and horses of the right jade bowl, and did not stay for a moment.

"Lieutenant generals and colonels, are they all here?" Li Zhan asked in a deep voice.

"It's all here, the vacancy of a Zhiguo lieutenant has been filled, and it is expected to arrive in the afternoon" Xue Chongyin's reply showed that he was capable and concise in the fireworks army, and there was no nonsense at all.

Li Zhan choked for a moment, he wanted to ask who made it up and who made it up, but he didn't grasp the situation by asking this question, and secondly, it was easy to make taboos, so he skipped it and didn't mention it, according to his experience in leading the army guard, he said a drill and the like, grooming, weapons, the more he talked, the more he saw the banter in the eyes of his subordinates, so he stopped and ordered them to immediately drill in the school.

In an uproar, many officers got up at the same time, saluted in unison, and turned back neatly, striding out of the door, with extraordinary momentum.

Li Zhan was startled and stabilized, he is also young and vigorous, he is used to smooth sailing, and he is not convinced by anyone, the world's soldiers and horses are only a few tricks and styles, but you have to see what is so amazing about this fireworks army.

It didn't take long for Li Zhan to open his eyes, but it was really different, queue, strength, speed, coordination, he had never trained everything, especially strength and coordination, off-road, getting up on the ground, throwing, crawling, all of them had to be uniform, if anyone was faster and grabbed the rhythm, what he was waiting for was not praise, but punishment.

Li Zhan watched several soldiers being punished with his hands behind his back, and the punishment was also fresh, not physical punishment, but locked up in a small black house, for one hour, three hours, one day, three days and several levels, and one came out after three days of confinement, his face was pale, his legs were trembling, and when he heard the officer's order, he ran faster than a rabbit.

This fireworks army is a bit interesting, Li Zhan touched the short beard on his chin and became interested.
