"You … you are the Marquis of Yong 'an?"
In Chang 'an, in front of the Black Armored Barracks, the two guards were shocked when they heard Li Zexuan's identity. Although there were many people in Chang' an who had seen Li Zexuan, these two guards were not among them because they were in the army all year round!
Not only them, but less than ten percent of the soldiers in the barracks had seen Li Zexuan, but more than ninety percent of them had heard of Li Zexuan! Therefore, after knowing Li Zexuan's identity, the two guards were so surprised and excited. After all, Li Zexuan was a Marquis at a young age, a Yamachō from Yanhuang College, and the first person to kill locusts. With so many halos around him, Li Zexuan was now considered a celebrity in the Tang Empire!
"Mm!"
Li Zexuan nodded. Seeing that the two guards were very enthusiastic after knowing his identity, he smiled and said, "Maybe you can call me Adjunct!"
The two guards looked at each other and quickly bowed with cupped fists. "Greetings, Sir Adjunct!"
The news that Li Zexuan had been appointed as Adjunct of the Black Armored Army had long been spread. At first, the soldiers of the Black Armored Army were talking about it for a long time. However, due to various reasons, Li Zexuan had not been appointed to the Black Armored Army. After a long time, the soldiers of the Black Armored Army gradually forgot about this matter. Today, after hearing Li Zexuan's intention, the two guards could not help but recall the news from more than a month ago. They were surprised.
"Your subordinate, Liu Xingwu, is from Jinzhou. Jinzhou was also badly affected by the locusts in Guanzhong. Fortunately, Sir Adjunct's Sky Pheasant Brigade provided timely relief. Most of the fertile land in Jinzhou was saved! Sir Adjunct, please accept my bow! "
At this time, one of the shorter guards bowed solemnly to Li Zexuan, saluting him.
Li Zexuan's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect to meet someone he had helped in this place. He smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite! The one who saved the people of Jin Province was His Majesty, not me. If you want to thank someone, you should thank His Majesty! "
This was a political issue. Li Zexuan did not want to carry too much popularity among the people. He was familiar with ancient history and knew that in this feudal era, keeping a low profile was the way to go!
"Yes! Yes! Yes! It's all thanks to Your Majesty's wisdom! "
Liu Xingwu was very tactful and quickly bowed in the direction of the palace when he heard this.
Time was of the essence. Li Zexuan didn't want to waste too much time outside the gate, so he said, "Liu Xingwu, these carriages are filled with the new weapons and armor that I have created for the soldiers. Quickly lead a group of people and come over to transport the weapons and armor. I still have to enter the camp to pay my respects to General Duan!"
When Liu Xingwu heard Li Zexuan calling his name, he couldn't help but feel energized. He quickly cupped his fists and said loudly, "Your subordinate obeys!"
Li Zexuan nodded and led Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin directly through the gate and into the depths of the camp.
Liu Xingwu and Yuchi Baolin didn't have time to ask about Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin's identities. From their point of view, since Li Zexuan was a member of the Black Armored Army, he definitely knew the rules of the Black Armored Army. He definitely wouldn't bring an unrelated outsider into the Black Armored Army's camp. What the two of them were concerned about now was to get people to transport the weapons and armor!
"These are all the weapons and armor that General Duan made for us? So many? "
The soldier beside Liu Xingwu looked at the endless carriages in front of the gate and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Quickly go in and get some brothers to move them. These are all good stuff! "
When Liu Xingwu heard this, he bumped the soldier's arm and said unhappily.
More than half a month ago, Li Zexuan wore vanadium steel plate armor and wielded a vanadium steel sword to duel with Duan Zhixuan on the drill ground. In the end, he completely crushed Duan Zhixuan with his superior equipment. That duel caused quite a stir in the army. The generals and soldiers of the Twelve Capital Guards all coveted the new weapons and armor that Li Zexuan used that day. The soldiers of the Black Armored Army also raised their heads in anticipation of the new weapons and armor that Li Zexuan had created. At this moment, Liu Xingwu looked at the carriages in front of him and was so excited that his voice trembled slightly.
"Good! Xingwu, you stay here and watch. I'll go get people! "
The other guard responded, then immediately turned and ran through the gate.
…
"General Li Zexuan greets the Great General! Greetings to General Qiu! "
After the announcement, Li Zexuan walked in with Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Bao Lin. Duan Zhixuan and Qiu Xinggong were in the tent, so he cupped his fists and greeted the two.
Although his status outside was not lower than the two in front of him, he was in the army right now and had to look at military rank and experience. Where there were people, there would be jianghu. In the army, one had to follow the rules of the army!
"Greetings to the Great General! Greetings to General Qiu! "
It was rare for Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Bao Lin to not be mischievous at this time. Instead, they followed behind Li Zexuan and imitated him by bowing respectfully to Duan Zhixuan and Qiu Xing.
Duan Zhixuan was the Great General of the Black Armored Army and was in charge of military affairs. Qiu Xinggong was the Deputy General and only had the title of 'General', only below Duan Zhixuan. According to the military system of the Great Tang, under the Great General and General, there would be the Assistant Commander, Assistant Commander, Assistant Commander, Assistant Commander, Assistant Commander, Assistant Commander, Assistant Commander, Assistant Commander, and so on.
"Mm! Since you have entered the Black Armored Army, you are my brothers. No need to be so polite! "
Duan Zhixuan nodded slightly to Li Zexuan and the other two.
Qiu Xinggong's tiger-like eyes swept over Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Bao Lin. He did not speak, and no emotions could be seen on his weathered face.
Duan Zhixuan continued, "Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Bao Lin, the two of you are both descendants of generals. You should know better than anyone else that you should abide by military rules in the army. Go and change into your uniforms. In a while, when the soldiers are called out, you are not allowed to be late!"
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Bao Lin trembled and immediately cupped their fists. "Understood!"
Although the two of them were always joking around outside, their fathers were both generals in the army. Under their influence, they naturally knew that the military rules were strict. As such, they did not dare to hesitate or smile at Duan Zhixuan's orders.
"Colonel Li, I know that you have a special identity and a lot of responsibilities. Yesterday, His Majesty gave you permission to set up personal guards in the Black Armored Army to protect yourself. Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Bao Lin will be under your command as your personal guards!"
After Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Bao Lin left, Duan Zhixuan looked at Li Zexuan and said in a low voice.
Li Zexuan already knew about the personal guards. When he heard this, he cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Great General!"
"Hmph!"
Qiu Xinggong couldn't help but snort. The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense. Qiu Xinggong cupped his fists casually at Duan Zhixuan and said, "General Duan, it's time to call out the soldiers. I will go to the drill ground first!"
With that, he turned and left without waiting for Duan Zhixuan's permission.
