Chapter 196 Sixth Grade Imperial Guards with Swords
When there was only the last light left in the world, another group of people came outside Lijiazhuang. This group of people was very mixed, and there were even mules riding even donkeys riding, and some were walking.
Some of them wore swords, some held bows, some carried wooden guns, big sticks, and all kinds of clothes. In short, this is not an army.
But it is not ordinary people.
Fortunately, the person leading this team was Li Yuanfang, who carried a letter from his cousin Di Renjie.
After carefully reading the letter, Li Xiao chatted with Li Yuanfang for a while, and had a conversation without revealing traces. After finding that there was no problem, Li Xiao invited Li Yuanfang into the village.
After all, others came from Chang'an for eighty miles, especially Di Renjie still stated in the letter that Li Yuanfang had been recommended by Yan Liben to the Ministry of Personnel as deputy director of the Corn Supervision. He had long had a good impression of Li Yuanfang and heard that he was very skilled in martial arts and was generous and generous.
Now that they have gathered more than a hundred rangers in Chang'an to help, why are Li Xiao unhappy?
After Li Yuanfang entered the village, he was also a little surprised to see that the village was full of soldiers and the people were strong. He originally thought that his troops were strong, but looking at this place, it didn’t matter whether he came or not.
"Those soldiers in the palace were brothers from the Lanxi Zhechong Mansion of Zuowei. Liu Zhanjun there was my friend. After I met the thief, I immediately sent someone to ask him for help, and he asked the Qin Duwei to lead his troops to help. In addition, those were the village group members of my hometown, and the county-level people brought by the magistrate Liu."
"If the thief is strong, if the thief is still brave enough, he will fall into the trap." Li Yuanfang said with a smile.
"I will add Brother Yuanfang's new force, and Lijiazhuang will be safe."
Li Xiao was quite curious about the team brought by Li Yuanfang. These people were full of chivalrous spirit, and even to be straightforward, they were gangsters.
In ancient times, the so-called ranger, the better ones were knights and assassins. The less good ones were, the less well they were gangsters.
All dynasties have actually been very annoying about these raids. Heroes violated the ban with martial arts and were the targets of attack by the government. For example, several famous heroes in the Western Han Dynasty, Guo Jie, etc., although they were famous in the world, were wanted by the government and finally could only hide in the homes of the powerful and wealthy. Many so-called heroes were actually the disciples of the powerful and wealthy, and even the assassin killers they raised.
Of course, there is a difference between a ranger assassins or assassins. Long before, assassins were often just. They assassins did not seek rewards for their assassination, but for justice. For example, Zhang Liang and Jing Ke, they assassinated Qin Shihuang because Qin Huang was a tyrant.
There is another kind of ranger who later became a killer, and the biggest difference between a killer and an assassin is that they kill people for profit.
Others give them money, or beauty, or other benefits, and then they help others kill.
So, there is a difference between an assassin and a killer.
The same is true for Rangers. Rangers at the bottom are actually just gangsters all over the place, and they are not even considered gangsters. At most, they are a group of young people from wealthy families or good backgrounds who are experiencing life.
These people actually want to be stimulating, and they still have a sense of justice in their hearts. They are not the kind of scumbags who are at the bottom of the world to do everything they want.
What Li Yuanfang brought today was the golfer in Chang'an City, and the group of young people with good reputations and even good backgrounds, a group of young men who experienced life.
It is said that when Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng brothers were young, they also had sex in Chang'an City and were also considered a member of Rangers. At that time, they followed Chai Shao and other aristocratic children to play.
Later, Li Yuan planned to raise an army in Chang'an, and the brothers Jiancheng and Shimin went to Luoyang, Chang'an to recruit their friends from that year for his father.
Later, Li Yuan rushed to Guanzhong, and Li Yuan's daughter Princess Pingyang recruited heroes in Guanzhong. At that time, a man named Shi Wanbao was called Chang'an Hero. He led many rangers to Pingyang to serve as the vanguard for Li Yuan and conquered a large area of Guanzhong.
This Chang'an hero, Shi Wanbao, is the leader among Chang'an Rangers, but he is not from a rude family, he is also a noble family and a noble family.
Shi Wanbao's elder brother is Shi Wansui, and he is one of the four famous generals of the Sui Dynasty.
Basically, the noble children of Chang'an were hang out on the streets when they were young and were rogues. Although they were rogues and did not collect protection fees on the streets, they liked the feeling of calling friends and drinking wine as songs.
This is actually a way for the children of nobles to expand their personal connections, and their social circle.
For example, today Li Yuanfang was able to bring more than 100 rangers with one call today, but the key is that one of his friends is.
"Sanlang, this is my friend Wang Fangyi, known as the hero of Chang'an." Li Yuanfang said with a smile.
"Just call me Zhongxiang." Wang Fangyi's face is as tall as a jade, and he looks very fond of it. Especially this man has a scent of the same scent as Cheng Boxian Xue Chuyu, and has a noble temperament, but he doesn't have that kind of air. Looking at him makes people feel a kind of warm and gentle feeling.
The heroes of Chang'an are actually nicknames given to Wang Fangyi by Chang'an Rangers. He is actually not from Chang'an, but from Bingzhou. Li Yuanfang's mother is from Bingzhou, so they are actually half a fellow villager. In addition, they are of the same age and both of them are generous in character, so they hit it off and quickly became good friends.
Wang Fangyi has not been in Chang'an for a long time, but he is very famous in the Chang'an Rangers circle. It is not only because he is generous, but also because he has a good identity.
Li Yuanfang briefly introduced Wang Fangyi’s background to Li Xiao.
Queen Wang is Wang Fangyi's cousin. Wang Fangyi is the son of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Li Yuan's sister, Princess Tong'an, married Wang Fangyi's grandfather. Although Wang Fangyi's father was not born by the princess, the name of the Wang family in Taiyuan is indeed very famous. Among the five surnames and seven sects, the Wang family in Taiyuan is very famous.
Emperor Taizong not only married the daughter of Wang as the crown prince Li Zhi, but also married one of his own princesses into the Wang family.
It is precisely because of his cousin of the queen that Wang Fangyi easily entered the Chang'an Rangers circle, especially the circle dominated by noble children.
"Don't listen to what Brother Li said. Although I am indeed a child of the Wang family, I was actually not as casual as Brother Li when I was a child."
It turned out that Wang Fangyi's father died when he was very young. Because his mother, Li, had a bad relationship with her mother-in-law, and Princess An, the eldest princess drove them to Fengquan Villa in the countryside as soon as his father passed away.
He lived a wealthy life before, and Li didn't know how to manage the industry. Although Wang Fangyi was young at that time, he was very filial. In order to reduce the burden on his mother, he took the initiative to work with his servants. They reclaimed wasteland, planted trees, repaired houses, and refined pine balls and ink for sale.
The young young owner was so easy to treat people and quickly gained the support of servants. With Wang Fangyi's years of hard work, Fengquan Villa was getting better and better, with more and more industries, and had dozens of hectares of good land, with trees growing in front of and behind the house.
Not only did he let his mother live a good life, he also practiced riding and archery and calligraphy frequently.
Later, after the eldest princess passed away, he and his mother returned to Chang'an. Once on a night trip, Wang Fangyi saw a monster more than meter tall. He calmly pulled out the bow and arrow and shot the monster. When he got closer, he found that it was just a matchmaker. After Li Shimin heard about this, he specially promoted him to Youqianniu, the guard.
Therefore, although Wang Fangyi is known as the hero of Chang'an, he is not just a gangster. He has an official position, and his official position is Qianniu's official position in the right and right palace.
What is Qianniu's preparation?
This is a senior imperial guard position, to put it bluntly, the imperial guard with swords.
The Qianniu on the left and right had a palm and a sword on the guards. They all used the young and beautiful children to repair them. They had flowers and embroidered clothes and green clothes, holding elephants, which were good choices for nobles to start a family.
The Qianniu is prepared from the Qianniu sword he is wearing, and the Qianniu sword means that it can kill Qianniu. These sword-bearing guards in front of the imperial court were placed on their sides, leaving no restraints when they entered and left the ban.
Especially the selection standards are extremely strict, they must be the children of nobles and high-ranking officials, and they must be young and handsome. They wear Qianniu swords and beautiful green embroidered clothes, which are young and proud.
The emperor had three guards and five palaces around him, and the Queen's Mansion was called the inner palace. The children of high-ranking officials and Xunqiu were also selected from the children here.
Moreover, Qianniu has a higher grade, higher than the personal guards, and is directly the sixth rank. This is a senior military officer among the imperial guards.
A sixth-grade imperial guard with swordsman came to Lanxi with Li Yuanfang. This was not because of anything else, but just a chivalrous spirit. Today, Wang Fangyi was relieved. When he heard that Li Lifang was looking for You Xiaer to come to Lanxi for help, he took the initiative to help summon a hundred people to come over.
In fact, among the hundred people he brought, there were actually about thirty people from the Inner Guard Mansion. Although they were not like him, they were all from the Neiguard Mansion, and they were all from the seventh and eighth grades. They looked young and even a little naughty, but if they brought out their family backgrounds, they would definitely be scary.
They are either children of a priest, children of a scholar, children of a high-ranking official, or even grandson of a eldest princess, son of a princess, etc.
For them, it was actually a bit boring to stay in Chang'an. Wang Fangyi said that when he came to Lanxi countryside, he didn't feel any danger, he just wanted to be fresh and fun.
"Brother Zhongxiang, didn't you say that there are some stupid fools who are not open to the eyes and lead their soldiers to rob the corn seeds? Why didn't you see anyone?" A seventh-grade guard looked left and right with a horizontal knife in his hand. Looking at the soldiers in the village, Min Zhuang was eating, drinking, talking and laughing, and his eyes were a little disappointed.
