Chapter 149: The Chin Mission
The camp was not in the city, but in the north of the city, close to Changchun Lake, in a manor called Yi Yuan, Liu Han had been here once before, and that was to pay the silver with Gu Heng.
It is still early spring, and the roses in the manor have already bloomed with sparse yellow flowers, and the spring flowers in the yard are in full bloom, and you can smell the faint fragrance from afar.
The gate of the manor is heavily guarded, this is not a traffic artery, and not many people pass by in normal times, but after the camp was stationed, there were even fewer people here.
Two horses guarded a carriage as they approached slowly, and the Tiger Guards guarding the gate kept an eye on them, their hands gripping the hilt tightly.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and the four tiger guards at the gate were staring, Liu Han Shi Ran got down from the car, and the Fang sisters who were pretending to be guards threw off the saddle and dismounted.
After Liu Han got out of the car, he looked up at the gate of the courtyard and the Tiger Ben Guard soldiers standing guard, and the four soldiers also stared at him, unconcealing the vigilance in their eyes.
Liu Han stood at the door and didn't speak, Fang Ting took two steps to the soldier, and commanded with three points of arrogance: "Go in and report, my family wants to see Nan Shengnan." ”
The soldier was slightly stunned, looked up at Liu Han, and then looked at Ting below, Fang Ting raised his head with his chest straight, and tried to make an arrogant appearance, but in the eyes of Hu Benwei, this kid was a chick at all.
"Please wait. ”
The tiger guard soldier did not dwell on it or question him, but immediately turned and walked into the courtyard, and soon he came out.
Fang Ting was slightly puzzled, frowned and asked, "What about your family?"
"Please wait, my lord, I've already gone to report. The Tiger Guard replied calmly.
Fang Ting looked inside, and was about to ask, when Liu Han shouted from behind, "Come back." ”
Fang Ting immediately turned around and returned to Liu Han's side, Liu Han stood at the door for a long time, neither angry nor anxious, not long after, Nan Sheng walked quickly to the door, and saw Liu Han did not step forward immediately, but looked up and down before coming.
"Are you Lord Liu Hanliu?" Nan Sheng asked, looking at Liu Han.
Liu Han was also looking at Nan Sheng, who looked like he was in his thirties, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a tall posture, and a Chinese soldier with a lot of morale.
"This official Liu Han, Lord Nan, have you received the order from the palace?" Liu Han said.
"The order from the palace has been received, but, my lord, please show me the decree of the court. Nan Sheng was not ambiguous at all, and stretched out his hand to ask Liu Han to take the identity certificate.
Liu Han smiled faintly, and took out the jade plate and body casually, the order of the imperial court was not directly transmitted to him, so the letter of appointment was not in his hand.
When Nan Sheng saw the jade plaque, his eyes couldn't help but become solemn, as an officer of the Tiger Benwei, of course he knew what this jade plaque represented, looked at Liu Han and looked at the young man behind him, he didn't dare to take it, he clenched his fists and exhaled: "My lord, please!"
Liu Han walked into the camp, looked around as he walked, and asked casually: "I got the news that there are new tiger guards in the palace, have they arrived?"
"Not yet, according to the news in the palace, half a month ago, two hundred tiger guards commanded by Wu Qiang and Wu Du Wei arrived in Yangzhou, and they had already set off from the imperial capital a month ago, and it is estimated that it will take half a month to arrive. Nan Sheng said and stepped forward half a step, approaching Liu Han and lowering his voice.
Later, Nan Sheng asked again: "My lord, do you want to report the two Qincha?"
"Do they know the purpose of my coming to Yangzhou?" Liu Han asked rhetorically.
Nan Sheng was slightly stunned, he was a little confused, and replied with a little hesitation: "The order from the palace has arrived, and you are responsible for assisting the two Qincha, and at the same time taking over the defense of Yangzhou, and all the military forces in Yangzhou and nearby are dispatched by the adults." ”
Liu Han's appointment has arrived a long time ago, Nan Sheng has always been very strange, such an appointment order should have been brought by himself personally, but this time it was different, but the imperial court ordered it first, but this lord was late, as if he was unwilling.
This is just a question, and another question is whether the power given to Liu Han in the palace is too great, which is equivalent to handing over all the military strength of Yangzhou to Liu Han for dispatch, what is the palace going to do?
Liu Han frowned, obviously Nan Sheng's answer made him dissatisfied, he asked if Gu Wei knew if he came to Yangzhou to investigate whether the Hidden Immortal Gate had entered the world, and Nan Sheng's answer was only his purview.
Nan Sheng was behind him, naturally he couldn't see the change in his expression, Liu Han didn't ask again, seeing that he was about to reach the middle gate, Nan Sheng asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you want to inform the two Qincha adults?"
"Of course, but, find a set of official clothes for me to change into first. Liu Han said.
Nan Sheng was stunned again, and then noticed that Liu Han was wearing civilian clothes, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "The adult didn't bring an official uniform?"
Liu Han nodded and said in a low voice: "I actually arrived in Yangzhou half a year ago. ”
Liu Han showed him the jade card of the internal guard, the tiger Benwei has a close relationship with the internal guard, and he knows the various jade cards of the identity of the internal guard, this jade card is already an enshrinement level, once it is revealed, the tiger Benwei must accept the command.
Nan Sheng immediately understood, he didn't ask any more, and asked, "What official uniform do you need?"
"I don't know the new official position given to me in the palace, so let's get me a set of captain's official uniform, by the way, what kind of official is the Changchun Lake Water Division?"
"Captain. Nan Sheng replied, Liu Han nodded slightly, Nan Sheng saw that Liu Han no longer spoke, so he led Liu Han to the east courtyard, and Hu Benwei was stationed in the east courtyard.
After all, the Tiger Benwei is the most elite blade of the imperial court, Liu Han noticed that the Tiger Benwei is completely different from the forbidden army, the accommodation area is quiet, no one makes noise, and no one moves around at will, the entire east courtyard is light and refreshing, the soldiers who are not on duty are either resting in the room, or talking in a whisper, seeing Nan Sheng bring Liu Han in, the soldiers are not much surprised, what should they do, what are they still doing.
"The soldiers are well led!" Liu Han praised.
Nan Sheng was a little proud, and smiled slightly: "Our Tiger Benwei is the strongest elite soldier in the world, and we carry out the most difficult tasks. ”
Liu Han nodded slightly, as if he agreed with his words, but according to Liu Han's journey, the Tiger Benwei was stronger than the forbidden army, but the other army, the black panther commanded by Qiu Ge was not bad.
Nan Sheng let Liu Han into his room, Liu Han looked at the room, the condition of the room was very simple, except for the necessary living facilities, there was nothing else.
"Do all the officers live here?"
Liu Han received an affirmative reply, and he couldn't help but have a further understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Benwei, the troops where officers and soldiers live together are definitely stronger than those who do not live together, and most of the captain-level officers of the forbidden army do not live in the barracks.
Liu Han quickly changed his clothes, this is a tiger guard uniform, and then he waited for the Fang sisters to change their clothes, Nan Sheng was on the side, the suspicion in his heart became heavier and heavier, and he felt that this adult's behavior was strange, he didn't dare to think that Liu Han was impersonating, that jade medal was not something that anyone could take out, or dare to take out.
Nan Sheng took Liu Han to the atrium again, Ju Yi and Gu Wei both lived in the backyard, there were several small courtyards in the backyard, each of them occupied one, and the rest were empty, and the usual office was in the atrium, and the officials under the Qin Cha lived in the west courtyard.
What surprised Liu Han a little was that there were not many officials in the office, the courtyard was very quiet, the two attendants were at the door of the room, and there were a few officials in the east and west compartments working, looking at their official uniforms, that is, the petty officials of the seventh or eighth grade, and even two of them were not yet graded.
"Nan-sama, who is this?"
Liu Han turned his head to look, and it was an official who came out of the West Chamber who spoke, this official looked like he was about twenty-seven or eighteen, wearing a light crimson official uniform of five grades, the official uniform was neatly kept, carrying a ten-fold gold and jade belt, squinting his eyes and looking at Liu Han, there seemed to be some vigilance in his eyes.
"Lord Shubai," Nan Sheng said with a smile, "Lord Liu has arrived, and I have come to meet Lord Ju and Master Gu." ”
"Oh. When Shubai heard this, he walked over quickly, and he hugged his fists from afar: "It turns out that this is Lord Liu, who was born late and has seen everyone Liu." ”
Shubai bowed deeply to Liu Han, and Liu Han also returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Lord Shubai, the lower official is late, please inform the two Qincha, and the lower official please see Lord Qincha." ”
"It's unfortunate that the adult came, Lord Ju went to the city, and Lord Gu was infected with the wind and cold and was recuperating in the backyard. Shubai replied respectfully.
Liu Han was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Nan Sheng, and hesitated and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll come back another day?"
"No, I'll just report it. Shubai hurriedly replied, and then without waiting for Liu Han to say something, he immediately turned around and walked towards the backyard.
Nan Sheng looked at Shubai's back dumbfounded, he has been in Yangzhou for a year, and he has a basic understanding of the officials of the Qincha camp, this Shubai was originally a small official of Mincao, arrogant, and fierce, even the two Qincha were scolded by him, and the officials below were also reprimanded by him, and he had never seen him pretend to be a little bit of a resign to anyone, but today he is so respectful to this Lord Liu, this.... , who is this Lord Liu?
Since the Fang sisters entered the camp, they have been careful all the way, but they are also curious, seeing Shubai's somewhat panicked appearance at this moment, Fang Ting couldn't help but sneer, Fang Ya hurriedly glared at her, she quickly held back her smile, but she couldn't suppress it, her expression was quite funny.
The officials on both sides also noticed, and they all paid attention, looked at Liu Han curiously, and discussed in a low voice.
"This is the Liu Hanliu family of the three earthquake emperor capitals!"
"Yes, I saw him in the imperial capital, he was with Xiao Zhao Wangye. ”
"He's a tiger guard!"
......
Although these people's words were small, they could hide it from Liu Han and Nan Sheng, and Nan Sheng knew why Shubai's attitude was so respectful, and it was a little strange to look at Liu Han's gaze again.
In this era, the status of the warriors is relatively low compared to the literati, although in the war against Xianbei, the status of the warriors has been greatly improved, but the imperial court has been heavy on literature and light on martial arts for too long, with the advent of peace, the status of the warriors began to decline slowly, and if ordinary people have the opportunity to enter the civilian position, there is a chance that they will not choose the military position.
"Hehe, it's really Brother Liu, I thought it was someone with the same name and surname, but it turned out to be Brother Liu!"
Gu Wei walked out quickly with a smile, he was wearing a civilian dress and a cotton robe on the outside, obviously coming out in a hurry.
"Under the king's order, I don't dare to whip the horse unhurriedly," Liu Hanwen replied with a fist hug: "I heard that the adult is in poor health, and the lower official is presumptuous." ”
"What did you say," Gu Wei smiled and shook his head: "But I occasionally felt a cold, I was greedy for cold that day, and I caught a cold, but I was a minor illness, and I was half better, so it didn't matter." He said and looked left and right, smiled and said, "Brother Liu, talk inside." ”
"Your Excellency, please!"
Nan Sheng hurriedly rushed forward, pushed open the door, Gu Wei led the way into the house, Liu Han followed, Shubai followed, but Nan Sheng stood at the door and did not come in.
