"Your Excellency, Captain. There is someone who claims to be an old friend of your Excellency and is seeking to see you outside."

A soldier hurried over, bent down and said to Long Qie, cupping his fists.

"Old friend?" Long Qie frowned. He had quite a few old friends. Then he asked, "Didn't you say who it was?"

"No." The soldier shook his head and replied.

"It's a bit weird to hide your head and show your tail." Long Qie's eyebrows furrowed deeply, but since the other party claimed to be an old friend, it wouldn't be a good idea not to see him.

"Please go to the big tent."

"yes."

The soldier responded, turned around and walked down quickly.

"Keep training, don't slack off." Long Qie raised the horse in his hand, shouted again, and then rode back to the big tent.

The soldiers came forward and helped Long Qie take away the horses and horses.

"Someone will come over later, you don't need to stop him." Long Qie said, entered the tent, and sat on the Grand Master's chair.

Shortly after.

The footsteps came as promised. Then a tall and handsome young man walked in from outside. He was wearing a black gown and a black hat. He looked elegant.

student!

"What kind of madman dares to pretend to be an old friend of mine?" Long Qie was not surprised at all, his face darkened and he scolded.

"Da da da!!" A group of soldiers heard the wind and pulled out the steel knives from their waists, filed in and surrounded the young man.

The young man showed no fear on his face and calmly raised his hand to Long Qie and said with a smile: "Captain Long, you are my friend. New friends gradually become old friends, right?"

Wu Nian's brothers.

Li Yong is the oldest and calmer.

Tie Niu and his gang are all idiots.

Only Long Qie has experienced a lot and the city is relatively deep. He took a deep look at the young man, smiled and waved his hand, and said: "That's right. Everyone, go down. Wait for me to call you, then come in and chop him into pieces."

Sauce."

"Yes." The soldiers responded, sheathed their swords one after another, glared at the young man, and left aggressively.

The young man was very brave, but when he heard the words "chop into meat sauce", his face trembled.

This is absolutely no joke.

In front of me was a brave general who stepped out from a sea of ​​swords and blood, and had a serious fight with the Meng Yuan people. He could kill without blinking an eye.

But for this reason, if this person can be used... it will be of great benefit to the court.

"Let's be honest. Who are you? Why are you pretending to be an old friend of mine?" Long Qie held the Taishi chair with both hands, leaned back, sat with his hips slightly stretched, and went straight to the road.

However, the young man did not answer immediately. Instead, he came to the Grand Master's chair on the right side of Long Qie and sat down. Then he raised his hands and whispered: "I am a staff member of General Xiong, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Pass. My surname is Xu Minggai."

After finishing speaking, Xu Gai shut up and stared at Long Qie's expression with his eyes.

This is the first step.

A smart person should understand.

Needless to say.

If the first step fails, there is no need to go further.

Long Qie's complexion changed slightly, his eyes flickered, and a huge wave of terror arose in his heart.

Someone from the imperial court sent someone to contact me?

To alienate? To instigate rebellion?

Yes.

Yes.

I heard that an angel from the imperial court arrived at Beishan Castle, but the deputy disappeared for no reason.

Although I don't know what the situation is, the only one who can do such a thing is a general.

The general and the court did not deal with each other.

Although his heart was filled with turmoil, Long Qie quickly calmed down and said in a low voice: "I have never met General Xiong. Why did he send you here?"

"With Captain Long's talent, wouldn't it be a pity to be ranked below Wu Nian?"

What Xu Gai feared most was that Long Qie would kill him with a knife, or tie him up and send him to Wu Nian. Seeing Long Qie's reaction, he felt relieved. He smiled and said, "Please forgive me for being rude."

"

Immediately, he stretched out his left hand and dug into his right sleeve, and took out a gold book and a piece of paper. He then reached into his arms and took out a square object wrapped in red cloth, which seemed to be a seal.

After taking out all the things, Xu Gai stepped forward respectfully, raised it and handed it to Long Qie. He said, "I heard that Captain Long is poor. This is a gift from General Xiong to Captain Long's family."

"And this seal, the gold book, is the title granted by the imperial court to the rank of third-rank guerrilla general."

After finishing speaking, Xu Gai stood up straight with a smile, returned to the Grand Master's chair and sat down, looking up at Long Qi.

Long Qie's eyes flickered for a moment, and then his breathing became rapid. He couldn't wait to open the gift list and look at it. There were Dongzhu, agate, jade, etc., all of which were priceless and easy to hide.

There is also a beautiful woman and three beautiful maids.

I opened the gold book again and saw that it was said to be a gold book, but it was actually a yellow book with clearly written words on it.

The imperial edict conferred the title of Long Qi as a guerrilla general, and the Minister of War and the left and right ministers signed the signature.

There are two military systems in Chu State.

The highest officer in the guard system is the third-grade commander.

The guard station is responsible for local defense, and its sources of troops come from military households.

Another set is the recruitment system. The sources of soldiers can be of various types. Their role is to suppress rebellions and go wherever there is war.

This is probably the difference between field soldiers and defense soldiers.

Xiong Wuwo, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, belongs to the second military system.

The same goes for guerrilla generals from the third level.

In other words, the current Long Qie has theoretically become Xiong Wuwo's ​​general.

Long Qie's breathing became faster and faster, and his face turned red.

Seeing his performance, Xu Gai was immediately reassured and his face became relaxed.

As expected, he was a reckless man who had never seen the world. A third-grade guerrilla general, plus expensive gifts and beauties, were enough to make people like Long Qie sway.

As long as the imperial court holds this knife, it can insert it into Wu Nian's heart at the critical moment and turn the foundation of Beishan Fort into its own.

Recover Liaodong in one fell swoop and drive away the Mongolians.

Long Qie's breathing gradually calmed down. Xu Gai smiled slightly, raised his hands and asked: "The court's sincerity and the general's sincerity are all obvious. What do Captain Long think?"

Long Qie put down the gold book, the seal, and the gift list, then raised his left hand first, and then his right hand, with his palm upward, and said: "Official position, generous gifts. It's really hot to the touch."

Xu Gai looked happy and was about to speak.

Long Qie then said: "I probably understand what you mean. But Wu Nian and I are brothers. We have been friends for eight times and have been together through life and death. We need to pay more!"

Xu Gai was caught off guard and his face was full of shock. But he quickly stood up and said readily: "Okay. I understand what Colonel Long means. I will convey it to the general immediately."

Not long after.

Xu Gai was sent away by Long Qie's soldiers.

Of course I left the gifts, the beauty, and the maid.

From the seal of the third-grade guerrilla general, the gold book was also left behind.

Long Qie opened the red cloth, revealing a golden square seal. He placed it in the palm of his hand, held it up in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.

"The imperial court, the imperial court, really treats me well."

Immediately, Long Qie threw the seal into the furnace in front. The gold plating quickly melted, revealing the brass inside.

Long Qie sneered and shouted: "Here comes someone. Prepare to escort me. I'm going to Beishan Fort."

Wealth, silk, and official position are attractive to people.

But can friendship be measured by money or official position?

No.

Some people may think that friendship can be bought.

But I, Long Qie, am definitely not that kind of person.

brother.
