Volume 10 Chapter 642

Chapter 642

The date of Tang Yin and Yin Rou's marriage was carefully calculated by many ministers of the Feng Kingdom. Not only was it a good day, but according to the calculation of time, the Feng Army's war in Huandi was enough to end, and the wedding celebration that day would be held at The whole country was held in peace. "" () This point is very important. If a war is still going on when the monarch is getting married, it would be very unlucky and not a good sign. Because of this, Tang Yin and Yin Rou's marriage was scheduled for one month later.

Just as the Feng Kingdom ministers calculated, the war in Huandi ended quickly. After advancing to the border of Huandi, the Feng armies stationed themselves one after another and began to rest and reorganize intensively. At the same time, the deputy commanders of each army took over one after another. The commander-in-chief of each army seized the time and rushed back to Zhenjiang day and night to attend the wedding celebration.

In order to show his sincerity in the truce, Xiao Xuan also recalled the Sichuan troops who invaded Anguo to his homeland at this time, and unexpectedly prepared a generous gift and sent an envoy to Zhenjiang to express his congratulations on the wedding of Princess Tang Yinhe.

At this point, the war involving the five kingdoms of Feng, Sichuan, Yu, An, and Huan was completely over. However, after the war, the Huan Kingdom that started the war collapsed and was wiped out. The Huan Kingdom who fled to Zhendi existed in name only. .

Tang Yin was very happy to learn that the military commanders and Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji who were in Daxing were all on their way back to the capital. To be honest, he still hoped that these brothers who had been with him through life and death could come back to attend his wedding.

In the evening of that day, Zongyuan brought the steward and tailor of Jinxiufang to see Tang Yin to tailor him a wedding dress. Tang Yin thought this was unnecessary, but couldn't resist Zong Yuan's nagging, so he finally let him go.

While the tailor was taking Tang Yin's measurements, Ah San walked in from the outside, looked at Tang Yin, then at Zong Yuan and the tailors present, but hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Tang Yin shook his figure and asked the tailors on his left and right: "How long do you want to measure?"

"Report to the king and he will be fine soon."

"Okay, okay, it's just a piece of clothing, it doesn't need to be made so finely." Tang Yin waved his hand impatiently and said to Zongyuan: "Take them out of the palace!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Zong Yuan bowed his hands and saluted, then waved to the tailors and led them out of the hall.

When he stepped out of the palace door, he looked to the side and saw another person standing behind Ah Si. Although the person was standing in the dark and his appearance was not clear, Zong Yuan was able to identify him.

He frowned secretly and murmured in his heart: Isn't this Gu Chen? Hadn't he been demoted to the imperial court by the king? Why did he suddenly appear in the palace?

His heart was full of confusion, but Zong Yuan didn't even pause in his steps. As if he didn't see Gu Chen at all, he walked away with a group of tailors and stewards.

As soon as Zong Yuan and everyone left, Gu Chen entered the hall and stepped in to salute Tang Yin. Seeing him, Tang Yin's face showed joy, and he asked with a smile: "How did you do what I told you?"

"Your Majesty, this is the preliminary list. Please take a look at it." As he spoke, Gu Chen took out a thick notebook from his sleeve and handed it to Tang Yin respectfully.

Tang Yin quickly took it and opened it to take a closer look. The book is densely packed with names of people. There must be about a hundred or so people written on each page. It is so thick, it is estimated that there are more than ten thousand people in total.

He looked at it carefully and raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously. From the names of the people he recognized, he could tell that Gu Chen had chosen the people carefully.

"Peng Liao, this brother has been my bodyguard for a long time. He has followed me in many battles, and has experienced countless battles. He is an elite man who climbed out of the dead! The same goes for Gao Yuan, as well as Zhang Zhao and Liang Hua. Well, not bad, not bad, really good. I have selected all the smart and capable guards around me... Wei Qing, this brother should be from the Pingyuan Army. During the battle in Ningdi, he once defeated the enemy's soldiers in a row. Hundred-head level, I have some impressions..."

Tang Yin muttered while watching, while Gu Chen stood silently aside.

The king himself said it at the beginning, allowing him to choose soldiers at the level of regiment commander or below at will. The guards around the king are all the best among the best, and their loyalty is unquestionable. Of course, they must be his first choice. As for the selection of soldiers in other legions, He was not polite when it came to people. He selected over fifty numbers for the chief and deputy commanders alone.

After flipping through several pages in a row, Tang Yin closed the list and smiled at Gu Chen: "Let's talk about it in general!"

Gu Chen said seriously: "Reporting to the king, there are a total of 12,107 candidates to be registered, including 4,000 of the king's bodyguards, and the other 8,000 people were selected from each army, including the commander of the corps. There are thirty-two people, twenty-five deputy commanders, a total of fifty-seven people, three hundred and eighty-eight thousand captains, and a total of two thousand nine hundred people for brigade and squad captains..."

Tang Yin waved his hand, interrupted Gu Chen, and said in a dumbfounded voice: "Gu Chen, you are really a pick for me! The candidates on this list are not good, at least there are too many corps commanders and thousand captains, and they must be screened Lost most of it.”

Gu Chen asked in shock: "Didn't the King say that officers and soldiers below the rank of regimental commander should be selected by his subordinates?"

"But I didn't ask you to take so many!" Tang Yin said, "Do you think it won't arouse suspicion if you transfer so many corps commanders and centurions all at once? You can just pick a few with outstanding abilities who can help you. Do you really want to make the armies suffer?! Ten people! The candidates for the chief and deputy corps commanders shall not exceed ten, and the centurions shall not exceed fifty. As for the captains, too many cannot be transferred, at most five hundred."

Seeing that Gu Chen opened his mouth and wanted to speak, Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "It's settled, no room for negotiation. Oh, by the way, if you think there are not enough spiritual practitioners, you can go to the Spiritual Martial Academy to select people. Moreover, I will issue the third military conscription order in the near future, and you can select suitable talents from them. If you want to act secretly, it is necessary to use and train new people on a large scale. You have brought so many corps commanders, centurions and veterans in the army. Are you going to let them monitor people, or let them chat with people and reminisce about the past?"

Gu Chen's cheek twitched, and he almost laughed on the spot. He really hadn't thought about this. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, your teaching is very correct. I have learned my lesson. I will modify this list and set the target of selecting people in the recruit camp."

"Yes! That's right! But don't just select Feng people, Ning people, Mo people and even Huan people should be selected. After all, the scope of Shadow is the counties and prefectures across the country."

"Yes, I have made a note. I will send a new list to Your Majesty in two days."

"Two days? So short..." Tang Yin patted Gu Chen's shoulder and said, "You don't have to work too hard."

"Your Majesty, I will never neglect what you have asked me to do."

Tang Yin smiled, returned the list in his hand to Gu Chen, and said, "You have done a good job this time. Even in my opinion, the people you selected are all elites, but they are not suitable for the nature of Shadow.

Just do as you say and go to the recruit camp to select people. Although it will be harder during training, their backgrounds are cleaner and it is less likely for people to notice when they do things."

"Your Majesty understands! I'll take my leave!" Gu Chen bowed again.

"Go!"

After Gu Chen left, Tang Yin couldn't help laughing, shaking his head and muttering, "This guy, he's not selecting people, he's just sucking my blood!"

Late at night, Tang Yin had fallen asleep in his bedroom, and suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door. Soon, the maid in the bedroom opened the door, and Ah San and Ah Si walked in from outside.

"Generals, what's the matter?" The maid asked timidly.

Ah San and Ah Si walked past her and went straight to the inner room where Tang Yin was.

Tang Yin sat up and looked at Ah San and Ah Si who were walking towards him with big strides. He asked helplessly, "What happened?"

"Your Majesty!" Ah San and Ah Si came to Tang Yin's bed and whispered, "We just received a report from the secret arrows. Madam Wan'an's ceremonial procession was attacked by an assassin while camping at the foot of Shaoxian Mountain..."

"What?" In an instant, Tang Yin lost all his sleepiness, his eyes widened, and he grabbed Ah San's wrist and asked anxiously, "Is Xiao Min okay? How is she now?"

"According to the secret arrows, Madam is fine, just a little frightened, but...but the owner of Wan Manor who was traveling with Madam was seriously injured, and I'm afraid his life is in danger!" Ah San replied in a low voice.

"Damn it!" Tang Yin stood up and said while getting dressed, gritting his teeth: "Who are the assassins? They dare to assassinate near the capital! Are all the accompanying guards dead?"

"It is said that the assassins' spiritual martial arts are very strong. In the battle with them, we have lost more than 200 brothers."

Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and asked: "Have you caught them?"

"It's not clear yet."

"Humph!" Tang Yin put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom quickly. As soon as he got outside, he saw Cheng Jin and several dark arrow leaders waiting at the door. Everyone joined hands and saluted, saying: "Subordinates pay homage to the king!"

"No need to say anything, you follow me out of the city and go to Shaoxian Mountain! Also, bring a few more medical officers!"

Tang Yin took Asan, Asi and the dark arrows and others and hurried out of the palace and headed straight for Shaoxian Mountain.

Shaoxian Mountain is located in the south of Zhenjiang, more than 20 miles away. There are ruins of a holy temple on the mountain, which is also the most attractive place of Shaoxian Mountain. This holy temple is not the Shao ancestral temple of the Mo Kingdom. It is said to be a relic from ancient times and is very old. However, since the holy temple is built of stone, it is well preserved and attracts many tourists to worship every year.

When Tang Yin and his party left the city, the soldiers of the Lieutenant's Mansion also caught up. They had not walked far out of the city when they ran into Qi Heng and his more than 100 personal guards who came to interrogate them.

Qi Heng is now a guilty person and has a rare opportunity to show his ability. He seems to be very active. Seeing Tang Yin, Qi Heng immediately intervened and saluted, and said in a hurry: "My king, I heard that the lady's ceremonial guard encountered an assassin in Shaoxian Mountain. I am rushing over to help!"

Tang Yin nodded and said, "You are just in time, follow me!"
