The reason why Xu Boan was confused was because, in his knowledge, he had never seen any precedent of a female being serving as an imperial envoy and delivering imperial edicts.
What's more, at first glance, she is a carefully selected beautiful woman. Compared to the eunuch, she looks much more pleasing to the eye.
Of course, this is also Xu Boan’s solid impression of his own knowledge.
After all, the only relevant situations he had come into contact with before were movies and TV series.
This was the first time he had seen the imperial edict of the Great Jing Dynasty.
In addition to the flying fish suit, the leading woman also wore a purple cloak embroidered with red thread.
Half a body behind her, there were two women on each side following her.
One of them held a red silk tray with a roll of yellow silk on it.
Another man held a yellow engraved sword with a hollow scabbard on his shoulder.
The two women followed the leading woman on the road quickly, but they could not see the ups and downs of the tray or the shaking of the red spikes on the sword. This ability was really amazing.
The three of them walked along with expressionless faces, resolute expressions, and blazing eyes, giving people a heroic feeling.
The woman and her group came to Guo Wenzhong and others. They stood still, but their expressions were as usual, not out of breath at all.
Then, the leading woman's arm shook slightly, and she threw out a roll of handkerchiefs from her long sleeves.
After carefully wiping her slender palms, she picked up the yellow silk on the tray of the woman who came with her.
"Where is Guo Wenzhong!"
Guo Wenzhong clasped his fists and loudly said with great momentum: "Your Majesty, Guo Wenzhong, accept the order!"
After that, Guo Wenzhong Taking the lead, all the people knelt down, with their eyes on the ground and their foreheads close to the ground. No one dared to raise their head.
"By God, the emperor issued an edict: I am grateful to Guo Wenzhong, the deputy commander-in-chief of Qingyundao, for his loyalty and bravery, and his repeated military exploits, especially during the Qingyundao Qianliang remnant disaster and the temporary acting commander-in-chief. I am deeply gratified that you have been dedicated to your duties and have the courage to take the lead in fighting. I am hereby appointing Guo Wenzhong as the commander-in-chief of Qingyun Road. He will be given the title of second-grade general and be given a gold seal and purple ribbon in recognition of his continued loyalty. Fulfill your duty, move forward bravely, and make new contributions to our country. Thank you for this!"
The woman's tone was sonorous and powerful. After reading the words of the imperial edict, she immediately raised her head and looked at Guo Wenzhong.
Guo Wenzhong lowered his head and said loudly: "My lord, Guo Wenzhong, thank you for your kindness! Long live my emperor."
When Xu Bo'an heard the news, he felt slightly regretful.
It would be great if this imperial edict came earlier. In that case, wouldn't I be able to get a few more wisps of incense and will power.
At the same time, Xu Boan was also very curious. If this beautiful imperial envoy gave a stick of incense to his statue of the mountain god, how many wisps of incense would he get.
The beautiful woman at the head clasped her hands together, put away the imperial edict, walked up to Guo Wenzhong, handed the edict over with both hands, and said at the same time: "Get up, Mr. Guo. Congratulations!"
Guo Wenzhong then stood up, respectfully took the imperial edict from the woman's hand with both hands, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy. It is your blessing to be able to continue to serve your Majesty!"
After that, Guo Wenzhong stood up slowly and said again: "Your Majesty, the imperial envoy has been tired all the way, why don't you take a rest before eating!"
The woman suddenly smiled, although it was a very reserved smile without showing her teeth. He smiled, but the expression between his eyebrows could not hide the familiarity.
"Alright brother-in-law, after the business is done, don't be polite to me. Is my sister okay? I'm pressed for time this time and didn't even have time to go to Qingyun City to see her."
As soon as the woman spoke, many people following Guo Wenzhong changed their expressions.
Unexpectedly, Guo Wenzhong and General Guo had such connections that reached heaven and earth.
It is no joke to say that it is up to heaven to listen.
A Purple Guard who can serve as an imperial envoy must at least play the role of the Purple Guard's deputy commander.
The Purple Guards of the Great Jing Dynasty were the emperor's bodyguards. When they saw all the civil and military officials, they were automatically promoted to a higher level!
Leaders at the level of the Purple Guard Commander require the emperor's personal nod to obtain leadership positions for promotion.
In other words, it must be someone close to the emperor!
Guo Wenzhong’s background is so profound that he can be called a genius.
Not only does he have the ability and military exploits, but he also has someone in the court. We are not jealous at all if such a character can be the commander-in-chief.
Guo Wenzhong smiled and said: "Fortunately, most of the Qingyun Army's lieutenant generals settled in Qingyun City, so they did not take any special actions. They just adopted siege tactics. Then reinforcements came from all directions, and the rebels arrived in time. After the war, everything is fine at home."
The woman nodded and waved to Guo Jinglong, who was squeezing in front of the crowd, and said, "Long'er, come here and let me take a good look."
Xu Bo'an was a little surprised when he heard the woman's name for Guo Jinglong.
In his opinion, this woman has a face like a flower, her figure is even more exquisite, and she looks like she is only in her twenties.
This Guo Jinglong looks like he must be in his twenties or almost thirty years old! This woman is actually his aunt?
Did Guo Jinglong’s grandmother give birth to this little aunt because she had a son?
It can’t be Guo Wenzhong’s remarriage or the concubine’s aunt, right? In that case, the two of them should not be that familiar.
Well, nine times out of ten, it’s the old age that brings the son, so it’s understandable.
After all, Xu Boan has also seen seniority situations.
Xu Bo'an even saw elementary school students in his grandmother's village being called cousin by the school's forty-year-old principal.
But seeing such a scene suddenly, I was still a little surprised and surprised.
Seeing that it was not a problem for so many people to be here, Guo Wenzhong immediately said: "Okay, you have been working hard all the way, take a rest first, Long'er, settle down the affairs of my aunt and the two Shangguan. I'll leave it to you. You must do your best and take good care of it. Otherwise, I will take care of you."
Guo Jinglong said happily: "Don't worry, dad. Auntie and two sisters, come with me."
Logically speaking, the reception place for Shanyang Order and other armed troops is in In the camp in the north of the city.
But entertaining people like the imperial envoys is naturally the best place in the city.
That is the county government. In addition to the office space in the front yard and the private residence of the county magistrate in the backyard, the county government office also has two side courtyards, sharing the beautiful scenery of the more than ten acres of landscape manor in the backyard.
Originally, after Guo Jinglong came, he lived here and enjoyed life.
After his father Guo Wenzhong arrived, he naturally lived here.
Now when the imperial envoy with a more distinguished status arrives, he will naturally have to live here.
Guo Jinglong sent people to clean up the courtyard non-stop, and he took his aunt to wander in the courtyard.
The two accompanying women naturally could not follow, so they immediately left and stayed in a side room in the courtyard.
Xu Bo'an was bored, so he followed a few people and paid attention.
Inside the house, two women entered the room one after another.
As soon as the door was closed, a slightly baby-faced woman in purple clothes blinked her eyes and said to another woman: "Sister Qingniao, General Guo is actually the brother-in-law of Commander Su. What a surprise. Have you known about this before? "
The woman called Qingniao has the temperament of a cold lady, she is simply a low-end version of Commander Su.
She shook her head with a somewhat indifferent expression, but replied seriously: "I have never heard of it. But I have heard that Commander Su has a sister. According to her, her appearance is more important than hers. Up there! Come on, Egret, put the sword back into the box first and put it facing east."
The Egret's eyes widened and he carefully put the sword into the sword box he brought with him and said in surprise: "Huh? Commander Su is already so naturally beautiful, and her sister must have such a face that will captivate the whole country. This Commander-in-Chief Guo is so lucky."
Blue Bird helps Egret The two of them carefully put away the sword together and said: "You girl, you are in love with me and want to get married. Then I have to advise Commander Su to make plans early and find another good seedling to train in the Purple Guards."< br>
Egret blushed and said: "Sister Qingniao, you are bullying me again. I will not marry. You are not allowed to talk nonsense with Commander Su, otherwise I will be punished again. By the way, Sister Qingniao , I remember that Commander Su was like this when I first came here about ten years ago. Ten years later, she has not changed at all. How old is Commander Su now?"
Qingniao's face turned cold, and he lowered his voice and said: "You little girl, how can we discuss the commander's personal affairs? Okay, don't ask around anymore."
The egret stuck out its tongue and said, He said with a playful face: "Sister Qingniao, I'm just asking casually. I envy Commander Su so much. I can feel wrinkles at the corners of my eyes now. In a few years... Hey, Sister Qingniao, I remember the past few days." You also had thin folds at the corners of your eyes, but why are they gone now?”
Qingniao sighed helplessly and said: "You little girl, what are you calling the egret when you are chirping? I think you should change your name to little sparrow."
"Sister Qingniao, just tell me. Is there any good way?"
"Forget it, since you have been a member of Ziyiwei for almost ten years, I will tell you that after ten years of joining Ziyiwei, in addition to the monthly bonus, You will also get some decoctions called Zhuyan Powder. As long as you take them on time, you can protect your skin well. As for the deputy commanders and above, I heard that there is a more effective Zhuyan Dan. Just take one pill and it will be fine. "Youth lasts forever."
"What!" Bailu's eyes widened and he continued: "There is also such a magical medicine."
Qingniao nodded slightly and said, "Zhu Yan Powder is natural." It’s true. I’ve only heard about Zhuyan Dan.”
Egret couldn’t help but clicked his tongue and said, “It must be true. Otherwise, how did all the young and beautiful people like us in Ziyiwei come here? ? It’s not like everyone has extraordinary skills and is rejuvenated, right?”
Qingniao rolled his eyes and said, “You girl, go ahead and practice for another half an hour. Gong, on the way here today, I saw several mistakes in your movements and breathing. It must be because of your weak foundation."
"Oh, my good sister, you have noticed all this. Come on. Let's go!" Although the egret was reluctant, he still practiced his stance.
Xu Boan couldn't help but be shocked as he listened to the conversation between the two.
Zhuyan Powder? Zhuyan Dan?
Xu Bo'an had also seen the introduction of medicines with this kind of effect in the Zhang family's ancestral medical books.
But just like the so-called miraculous drugs that can lead to immortality and immortality, they are all rare medicinal materials that are extremely difficult to find.
Listening to the discussion between Qingniao and Bailu, two purple-clad women, Da Jing Dynasty actually had the ingredients for this medicine?
Great, this is absolutely good stuff, you have to find a way to get this medicinal material!
Seeing that the two of them were speechless, one was packing the bed and the other was practicing pile kung fu, Xu Boan stopped paying attention to this place.
But his eyes turned and focused on Guo Jinglong and Commander Su.
Not to mention, listening to Qiang Gen is really enjoyable.
At this moment, Guo Jinglong and his aunt, Commander Su, were walking in a garden.
"Auntie, I haven't received your letter for a long time. Mom, she misses you very much." Guo Jinglong said.
Commander Su sighed and said: "Auntie, I can't help myself. The Purple Guards have strict rules. Letters are really unsafe. When I return in a few days, I will try my best to go to Qingyun City to read them. Look at sister.”
Guo Jinglong said: "Huh? How many more days will it take? You still have a lot of places to go?"
Commander Su said casually: "Go, you kid, what are you talking about? Stop asking about the purple guards. By the way, my aunt has seen that you have not made any progress in your skills over the past year. You are lazy again, right?"
Guo Jinglong smiled awkwardly and said, "Uh... aunt, You also know that I am now a fifth-grade military attache. I am really busy with official duties and busy with mundane affairs. Many times, I can’t help myself.”
Commander Su frowned slightly. He said in an educational tone: "From the fifth rank! It's just a deputy position, what's there to do? You kid, why are you still so naughty? Do you know that naughty people were clever, cute and smart when they were young? When they grow up, they don't act naughty anymore." But he is not stable and practical, and he likes to be clever. This is not a good sign."
After hearing his aunt's critical words, Guo Jinglong looked even more embarrassed.
Commander Su continued: "Now that the world is not peaceful, there is always no harm in learning more skills. Your father has been in the army all year round, and he has profound skills. You have been working abroad all year round, and you are alone. , but it’s impossible if you don’t have the ability to save your life.”
While speaking, Commander Su, who cared about the younger generation, waved his hand and took out a volume of books from his body, facing Guo Jinglong. He said: "I got this exercise from an elder of the Hexiang sect of Lingnan Road in the past. It is a simple and easy-to-learn Qinggong body method. Please accept it."
After that, Commander Su handed the scroll to Guo Jinglong.
Qinggong?
When Xu Boan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The skills in the "Thirty-Six Techniques of Mount Mountain" inherited from the mountain god that I have learned so far include the "Tiger Shape Fighting Technique" in which a tiger pounces on food, which can leap eight or nine meters, and the "Monkey Shape Technique". Flexible climbing ability and dexterity.
But there is no complete Qinggong body method yet.
He was very excited when he saw Commander Su and the Blue Bird and Egret galloping all the way with a calm speed
Now that he heard that there was Qinggong and Shenfa, it was natural that he It’s so thoughtful!
If it weren’t for the fact that these two people were not villains, Xu Boan would have thought of just grabbing them and watching them first. (End of this chapter)
