Chapter 41 The team just opened

Two days later, Eunuch Huang came to the door. His Majesty Li Er asked him to inform Wei Chi to see the person he chose, saying that he wanted to fulfill his promise to Wei Chi. Wei Chi followed Eunuch Huang into the palace. His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun were already waiting for him, and there was also a neat team. At a glance, he knew it was a well-trained team, with 500 people, all of which were the best soldiers, the best horses, the best armor and weapons, and it could be said to be one of the most elite troops in the Tang Dynasty.

His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "These five hundred people are all good at practical combat. They are skilled in bowing, horses, riding and shooting. They are the ever-winning troops of our Tang Dynasty. It is no problem to fight ten. They are the elite troops I have drawn from the Yulin Army and my personal soldiers! Ye Yecheng, come here."

A dressed as an officer, about twenty-six or seven years old, looks very ordinary, with eyes like an eagle, sharp and calm, with a face as dark as charcoal, and a waist straight coming over to salute.

His Majesty Li Er said: "Ye Yecheng is the commander of these 500 people. He has been in the army for seven years and has rich experience in commanding troops. I have asked him to obey your orders during your trip to Yongzhou. You will never disobey your orders."

Wei Chi looked at Ding Jianyang. Although Ye Yecheng was still standing straight, he glanced at Wei Chi several times from the corner of his eyes. Wei Chi looked at him for a while and said, "General Ye, right?"

Ye Yecheng said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Mr. Huiwei, the title of the last general is the commander, and he dare not be called the general."

Wei Chi waved his hand indifferently and said, "Okay, Ye Duwei, do you already know the purpose of this trip to Yongzhou?"

Ye Yecheng glanced at His Majesty Li Er and said, "I know a little bit."

Wei Chi said: "I heard from Your Majesty that Ye Duwei has participated in actual combat. He is just an ordinary person with no power to tie a chicken. He is not comparable to any of you. It can be said that after leaving Beijing, my life is in your hands. In order to save his life, I have to ask a few questions. I hope Ye Duwei will answer me honestly."

Ye Yecheng looked at His Majesty Li Er again, and His Majesty Li Er said, "Ye Yecheng, answer Wei Ziyue honestly."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Lord Wei, may I ask!"

Wei Chi asked, "No matter who I asked you to beat up the people in Yongzhou, do you dare to attack?"

Ye Yecheng was stunned by the question, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Does His Highness the King of Wei include?"

Wei Chi's face did not change and nodded calmly: "Including!"

Ye Yecheng hesitated and looked at His Majesty Li Er again, unable to speak. Wei Chi shook his head secretly and said, "Your Majesty, I request a replacement! Ye Duwei is extremely brave, but it is not suitable to follow me to Yongzhou."

His Majesty Li Er looked at Ye Yecheng and nodded with a slightly disappointed expression. Ye Yecheng was anxious when he saw it and quickly asked Wei Chi: "Master Wei, what is wrong with Mo General? His Highness, the King of Wei, is he a sky-high nobleman, and he will lose his head! Master Wei asked Mo General to go to such a traitor, isn't this intentional embarrassment?"

Wei Chi said lazily: "Emperor Ye, this is not to make things difficult for you, but to simulate the orders that may be given after arriving in Yongzhou. In front of Your Majesty and the Empress, I will tell you directly. When you go to Yongzhou, you can only listen to me. If I ask you to go east, you can't go west. If you let you crawl, you can't roll! Everything must be followed by my orders, yours, understand?"

His Majesty Li Er said: "Ziyue is right. After arriving in Yongzhou, all the accompanying personnel must obey Ziyue's instructions. This is related to your lives."

His Majesty Li Er's expression was unpredictable and profound. Ye Yecheng was not a stupid person. Thinking of the things he knew and the famous he saw now, Ye Yecheng had a glimmer of enlightenment in his heart and said resolutely: "Your Majesty's will is the decision of the last general. If Your Majesty asks you to listen to, you will never be discounted! Please give me orders to the last general. However, Your Majesty, will you really not lose your head if you beat the prince?"

Wei Chi looked at Ye Yecheng a few more times with a face, and said quietly: "You don't have to bother with this question, Your Majesty, I can answer you now. If you hit me, you may lose your head, but that's after you go back to Beijing. If you don't hit me, you will have to lose your head on the spot. Then, I will be with you, waiting for my family to collect the bones and return to Beijing."

Ye Yecheng was stunned, a wry smiled in his eyes, and said, "Master Wei, I understand what to do."

"Do you really understand?"

"certainly!"

"Okay, have you seen the building over there? Go over and jump from the second floor to prove it to me. Wei Du Ye, this is my first order to you."

Ye Yecheng looked at Wei Chi silently, responded, and without hesitation, he walked towards the small building that Wei Chi said, climbed up to the second floor, walked to the side, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and was about to jump down, but Wei Chi did not make any sound, and seemed to have made up his mind to force Ye Yecheng to die.

Just as Ye Yecheng was about to jump off, the guard next to him quickly grabbed him. Wei Chi laughed and said, "This is right, you have to have this spirit, otherwise the lives of more than 500 of us will be really ruined!"

Ye Yecheng looked at Wei Chi's smile and knew that this time it had passed. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After arriving in Yongzhou, as long as it is Lord Wei's order, the last general will follow it!"

Wei Chi was only satisfied, and His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun also had a satisfied smile. His Majesty Li Er said: "Zi Yue has many strange ideas. Ye Yecheng is my personal guard. No one can command them except the trumpets authorized by me."

Wei Chi said: "Thank you for your kindness."

His Majesty Li Er shook his head with a smile, meaning it was nothing. Empress Changsun said: "Everything is for Tai'er, Ziyue, please let it go."

"I understand, please rest assured."

After choosing the guard, the next one was the follower. The doctor who was assigned to Wei Chi by His Majesty Li Er was the apprentice of an old doctor. He was still very young, twenty-one or two years old, named Jin Ming. He looked older than Wei Chi. It is said that he had a solid foundation and was particularly good at acupuncture and diagnosis. He was very suitable as an assistant to assist Wei Chi.

The conversation between Wei Chi and Ye Cheng just now was already in sight. Wei Chi asked him with a smile: "Doctor Jin, you saw my request just now? What about your thoughts?"

Jin Ming smiled and said politely: "Please rest assured Lord Wei, so the lower officials will avoid it. He will act according to Lord Wei's will. The lower officials are just assistants to assist Lord Wei."

Wei Chi smiled cunningly, looked at him meaningfully, saluted His Majesty Li Er, and said, "Doctor Jin's words, Your Majesty must testify to me!"

Everyone present was stunned when this sentence came out. Jin Ming smiled bitterly. His Majesty Li Er gave Wei Chi a blank look and said to Jin Ming: "Jin Ming, if Wei Ziyue asked me to testify, you must listen to it and remember it in your heart. If you have any questions, I will punish you seriously."

Jin Ming said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I remember it."

Select the team candidates and let you go back to clean up and set off the road the next day. Wei Chi also has to go back and prepare, but when he was about to say goodbye to leave the palace, he was stopped by His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Er winked at Eunuch Huang. Eunuch Huang went down immediately. After a while, he came up with a tray. The things on the tray made Wei Chi drool in secret.

There were three knives on the tray, one big and two small. The big one was the Damascus knife that Wei Chi had been coveting for a long time but could not get it. The small one was two daggers with simple appearance and carved with complex and mysterious patterns. The two knives had very similar appearances. On the hilt, there was a strange beast carved, but the patterns on the scabbard were a little different.

Seeing the knife, Wei Chi remembered the long sword that his family had borrowed to be the prison by His Majesty Li Er to be the prisoner, and wondered how to get it back. Before he could come up with a suitable statement, His Majesty Li Er said, "I know you have wanted it for a long time. However, I guess you won't give it to you, that is, the master who will take it home to hang it on the wall. These two daggers will be given to you by your husband and wife."

The man gave out three good knives in one breath, and Wei Chi was embarrassed to ask about his long knives. He had to look happy and thanked him quickly. He couldn't let go of his hands and played with them, as if he wanted to kiss him. His Majesty Li Er looked disgusted and scolded him "Nothing".

Thank you, Wei Chi went home with a knife in his arms. Erhu loved the knife. Although he already had a stubborn iron knife given by His Majesty Li Er, it did not prevent him from enjoying the good knife.

Along the way, he asked Wei Chi for a reward, but Wei Chi refused on the grounds that it was inconvenient on the road. When he got home, he kept pestering Wei Chi to see it. Wei Chi didn't make things difficult for him, so he asked him to see it at one time.

Erhu played with it very skillfully, and the expression on his face was like looking at a beautiful woman who was stripped naked. Wei Chi thought very badly. He probably wouldn't even look at him if he was stripped naked in front of Erhu.

"What a knife! Master, this is a real good knife."

"You can't give a good knife to you. This is what Your Majesty gave me and my wife. Go and play with your hand, don't touch mine."

After kicking Erhu out, Wei Chi quickly made careful treatment and hung up the iron knife, and then gave Xie Jiu a dagger, and kept it in close proximity.

Xie Jiu had already helped Wei Chi pack his luggage, and he could not hold the travel bag, clothes, money, toiletries, etc., so he could not hold another bag and a first aid medical box. Seeing Xie Jiu's appearance, he wanted to put all his home in a travel bag for him and carry it with him.

Xie Jiu pondered and said, "Big Hu, the two Hus will follow you to protect you closely. I want to take care of the children, I can't go out, and I don't need them to be at home."

"Okay, listen to Madam."

Wei Chi nodded in agreement, and Xie Jiu's expression made him unable to refuse anything. Since he couldn't refuse, he would light up his head and accept it.

Xie Jiu said again: "You are not familiar with Chinese medicine, so I'm really worried about it for outsiders."

"Okay, Madam."

Wei Chi still followed the policy of obedience. Xie Jiu glanced at him, bit his lip, and looked at Wei Chi with watery eyes, looking at him with a look of grievance.

Wei Chi sighed silently, hugged her in her arms, patted her gently, but did not say anything. Xie Jiu whispered: "Actually, the most suitable thing is that I will go with you. If there is no child, Your Majesty will definitely let me go with you, if..."

Wei Chi interrupted her with a smile: "Silly girl, there is no if. Tomorrow I will bring the big tiger, the second tiger, the Qingfeng, and a Xia Sheng. You should take care of the children at home and rest, and wait for me to come back. The road is not far, and I can only get back in a long time after riding a horse. You don't have to worry about the little fat man, you can't get out of my palm. I have prepared a lot of "good dishes" waiting for him to eat."

Xie Jiu smiled faintly, but didn't say anything, and was still a little unhappy. Wei Chi could understand and tried every means to coax her. The two of them talked lingeringly all night. The next day, with their spectacular luggage, Dahu, Erhu, Qingfeng, and Xia Sheng, they went to mix with the army and set off for Yongzhou.

Riding on the horse, Wei Chi smiled and waved to Xie Jiu who was seeing him off, clasped his fists, and said aloud: "My wife, please take care of the children at home. When the husband returns successfully, don't forget to set up a table for him to celebrate the family banquet for him to go!"

After saying that, he turned his horse's head and left with a high spirit, allowing Xie Jiu to brew a night of sorrow of separation. He had no place to send it out. He could only stare at Wei Chi's figure in amazement, and he could vaguely hear his humming tunes-

"I remember... my team had just opened, and only those dozen soldiers had seven or eight guns..."

There was also a curious question from Erhu: "Master, what kind of song are you singing?"

Wei Chi's serious voice came out from afar: "This is an interesting lyrics of a story. The content is about a touching story about a great woman named A Qingsao, who is undercover among a group of bandits and dealing with each other. The content is melodious..."

The voice went further and further away, and it became impossible to hear it. Xie Jiu was stunned for a long time. He heard the muffled laughter that everyone beside him could not hold back. He sighed, and couldn't help laughing. He waved his hand: "Go back, the master will be back soon."
