Two rows of tall guard soldiers guarded both sides of the road. They were all over two meters tall, with a strong face, strong body, armor and helmets. The black and shiny helmets had blood-colored red tassels on them, and the spears in their hands were shiny, emitting a slight cold light.

This is the imperial royal guard force, and its loyalty to the emperor is as eye-catching as the blue sky and white clouds. Even if they see princes and nobles walking by, they will not be polite, and stand as straight as nails, without moving.[]

Except for the Imperial Commander and the Emperor himself, no one of the soldiers of the Imperial Guards will sell their accounts.

High above the hillside covered by green trees is a row of shafts, snow-white walls and red glazed tiles, appearing in the green.

In front of a magnificent palace in the middle, the soldiers of the black-clad guards were in a row here and there, and the black murderous intent added a hint of chill to this picturesque environment.

Even when the empire's No. 1 general, Marshal Dejing, walked here, was blocked by two sergeants with expressionless faces. Two sharp spears suddenly crossed and blocked his way. The guards holding the spear looked at him without saying a word.

"Hehe!" Looking at the face of the young but awe-inspiring soldier, Marshal Dejing was not angry. He also knew that this was their duty, and that the army should be strict and strict.

"Haha, check it out quickly. I don't want to stand outside and bask in the sun all the time." Marshal Dejing raised his hand very well and said to the two serious soldiers with a smile.

The two soldiers of the Imperial Guards still had no expression on their faces as if they had not heard the old general's joke. Their inspection movements were very sophisticated, neither more physical contact, so as not to violate the dignity of these nobles and nobles, and they were meticulous and careful, so that they would not let any dangerous items escape their search.

After the inspection, they raised their spears to salute the old general, made way, signaled the old general to move forward, and then turned their eyes to the next minister who came.

Marshal Dejing walked slowly along the straight stone road. This time it was the emperor who invited him to see him. Someone had been waiting at the door, and when he saw the old general passing by the guard post, he quickly greeted him with a smile: "I have seen Marshal, your health is getting stronger and stronger."

The person who came was a young man in his thirties, with a tall figure, a gentle smile like a spring breeze, and a polite manner that looked like a literati, but his thick knuckles showed a murderous aura of iron blood. This person was Qin Yunxue, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard. He is currently the popular man in front of His Majesty.

"General Qin, I really feel sorry for you!" Marshal Dejing said with a smile, stepping a little faster.

Seeing that Marshal Dejing was getting faster, Vice Commander Qin Yunxue rushed forward and came to the old general and said modestly: "It is the honor of the subordinates to be able to welcome the old general. Which soldier in the army is not proud of seeing you!" Qin Yunxue became more and more respectful. In recent years, Marshal Dejing followed the Medicine King to study medicine, and his personality changed drastically, and seemed to be very confused. But Qin Yunxue knew that although the old general smiled more and more, even nonsense and clichés would be spoken, it was just a tiger that put away his claws. A tiger is still a tiger and will not become a sick cat.

"Haha, Commander Qin was joking. I'm already setting sun, and since ancient times, heroes have been born in teenagers..."

The old and the young, haha, said clichés and walked towards the hall where the emperor was.

On the scarlet carpet, there are mahogany utensils that can shine with human shadows. The hall is magnificent, with all kinds of extraordinary decorations, and the rising sandalwood, which makes people feel awe-inspiring.

An old man with extraordinary temperament was sitting in front of a wide room and flipping through thick copywriting. He was tall and upright, but he felt a little weak. Although his face was covered with deep and shallow wrinkles, he looked relatively elegant. What was strange was that the old man's eyes were as bright as a young man, as bright as a blue sky, as clear as a stream, and his eyes revealed a profound wit. There was always a smile on the corner of his mouth, a sarcastic smile, like a philosopher who had insight into the world and human feelings, and a sarcastic look at the busy all living beings in the world, and like a poet who had no talent to meet, looking down at the wine glass in his hand.

This person is Ying Shimin, the emperor of the Qin Empire today.

"Your Majesty..." Marshal Dejing's voice trembled a little, a little excited! He then calmed down as before: "See Your Majesty!"

"Old guy!" The emperor looked up and saw Marshal Dejing, and a hint of affection flashed in his eyes. He laughed and scolded: "If you don't call you, I won't come to see me!"

"How dare! It's really a bad thing for the old ministers to act recently, and it's hard to act. If we can always bathe in the holy grace, it's really a blessing for us!" Marshal Dejing said with a smile. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger. Marshal Dejing is still clear about this principle. If people like them still hold on to power all the time, force themselves to the court every day, and go to see the emperor every day, the emperor would be unhappy.

"Old guy, you can also get the soup. The older you get, the less taste it is." Ying Shimin was obviously very relaxed in front of these old ministers.

It is no wonder that Ying Shimin and Dejing fought side by side for more than ten years and formed a deep friendship with comrades. Now that people are old, their comrades are getting fewer and fewer than once. If these old ministers can be good, the emperor will naturally be happy to see them.

The two of them laughed a few times to commemorate their past experiences. Marshal Dejing's eyes turned and suddenly remembered something, and was about to continue to play. At this time, someone came to report: "General Zhao, the Northeast Army, met with him."

The emperor nodded, and the eunuch hurriedly went out to greet General Zhao. Dejing swallowed and swallowed what he had just wanted to say.

After a while, the mighty old General Zhao entered with a heroic spirit, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, straight waist, and a pair of eyes, which was Zhao Na's father, General Zhao Yunshan. He came to the emperor and knelt down and kowtowed and shouted long live: "I have seen Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, I'll give me a seat." A little eunuch next to him immediately brought a round stool.

"Thank you, Lord!" Old General Zhao sat down carefully, then nodded to Marshal Dejing and Commander Qin Yunxue, and both of them nodded and returned the salute.

Emperor Ying Shimin waved his hand, and the maids in the hall immediately retreated quietly. Only the emperor and three close ministers were left in the lobby. Marshal Dejing sat lazily, General Zhao sat down straight, while Commander Qin Yunxue stood up as proud as a green pine.

Emperor Ying Shimin's face turned upright. The three close ministers knew that His Majesty must talk about state affairs, so they couldn't help but thrust their backs and stared at His Majesty with breath.

Ying Shimin slowly raised his eyes and glanced at the three close ministers. His eyes were quiet, like the vast sky and the deep sea, far and unpredictable, and no expression of emotions could be seen.

"Three beloved ministers," Ying Shimin said in a low voice, his voice floating in the silent hall.

"I'm here!" the three of them bowed together.

"The annual hunting in the eastern suburbs is about to begin. I use this to hone my disciples and select talents, which is a grand event for the country. This year, the hunting entrusted three dear ministers to be fully responsible, and they will not be allowed to proceed smoothly, and select useful talents from it for use in the army!"

"The emperor is very proud, I will receive the order." Dejing, Qin Yunxue and the other three bowed and said loudly.

"This matter is mainly based on virtue and respect, with Yunshan and Yunxue assisting!"

"Abide by the order." Dejing, Qin Yunxue and the other three bowed and said loudly again.

Emperor Ying Shimin glanced over the three beloved ministers, and then glanced at the wall of the other end of the hall, which was hanging on the large empire map. His eyes stayed at the border of the empire on the map for a long time, and his brows frowned slightly.

The three soldiers followed His Majesty's gaze and also turned to the map at the same time, and felt heavy for a moment, especially the two generals Dejing and Zhao Yunshan, who had experienced many battles and fought with neighboring countries on the border many times, and knew the hardships of the war and the strength of the enemy team. Young generals like Qin Yunxue were less worried and had more heroic spirit to serve the empire and serve the emperor - to fulfill the emperor's worries and win the heroic spirit of being famous in life.

Emperor Ying Shimin murmured: "Since those little guys have collected so many talents, let's use it for the country."

The three people in the hall were all skilled in martial arts. Although the emperor's voice was light, they could hear it clearly. Marshal Dejing and Zhao Yunshan looked at each other and smiled knowingly. It was a pity that the princes and grandchildren were trying hard to collect warriors from various gangs, preparing to make their debut in the hunting competition. They did not expect that their father had already prepared to catch all the people in their hands. However, this should be the case. The army and warriors could only serve one person, that is, the Emperor of the Empire.

"You guys retreat!" His Majesty was already old and his face showed fatigue.

"Abide by the order!" Zhao Yunshan and Qin Yunxue stood up and saluted respectfully, saying loudly. Marshal Dejing hesitated for a moment and did not speak.

"What, there is something else?" The emperor glanced at the old general and said lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Hehe, Your Majesty..." Marshal Dejing looked at the emperor with a charming smile, but did not continue. He thought: It is not easy to see the emperor now. The doubts caused by meeting He Qihuan last time were getting bigger and bigger in his heart. Today he was also bold and prepared to discuss with the emperor.

Seeing this, Emperor Ying Shimin waved to Zhao Yunshan and Qin Yunxue, and the two bowed again and then retreated respectfully. However, before leaving, Zhao Yunshan glanced at Dejing suspiciously and said to himself: What the hell is this old man going to do?

After the person left, the emperor looked at Dejing and said, "Okay, old friend, let's talk about anything now." Emperor Ying Shimin looked at Dejing with a strange look. He hadn't seen the old friend's expression for a long time. At this moment, Marshal Dejing's face was very rich, both sneaky and cheerful, his eyes were both wandering and excited, and his uneasy and eager to try...

"What treasure has you dug?" Ying Shimin had been with Dejing for decades, knowing this subordinate very well, and quipping.

"Hehe, hehe, Your Majesty has indeed looked like a torch!" De Jing smiled and walked towards the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has discovered a talent for Your Majesty." Dejing continued to smile charmingly.

Emperor Ying Shimin looked at Dejing's unusual charming smile but secretly raised his vigilance. He hadn't seen Dejing smile like this for many years. Dejing's charming smile often wanted to cheat things from him. In the war years they spent together, Ying Shimin often encountered Dejing's charming smile on him like this. The result of the charming smile was often that his jar of fine wine was "lost" and his sword "flyed"... Emperor Ying Shimin recalled the days when he was free and wanton to the world in the past, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little warm, and smiled and said, "Dejing still cared about national affairs, okay, okay, okay! So who is this person!"
