Chapter 47 Promotion
The old eunuchs in the Imperial Weaving Bureau have extremely exquisite craftsmanship.
During the lunch time, they had prepared more than a dozen new palace guard robes for Lu Yi.
The inner garment is made of white silk and the outer robe is made of bright red palace brocade. Both the inner garment and the outer robe fit the figure perfectly. They are comfortable and fit well on the body. There is no hindrance in every movement.
He wore a black gauze hat with five beams, thick-soled black official boots, and a jade belt with a double fish pattern around his waist.
The fish head pattern of the jade belt is shaped like a big Kun. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it is a gift from the emperor. Either Jian is favored by the emperor, or a large sum of money has been offered to the emperor. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary court officials to get such a standard jade belt.
On the left and right sides of the jade belt, there is a small cloud-shaped Ruyi hook, on the left hangs a palm-sized round jade pendant with a dragon pattern, and on the right hangs a more than one-foot long gold-inlaid knife with a gold and jade sheath.
The jade pendant with a dragon pattern represents that the person is a close minister of the emperor.
In a sense, the Golden Sword is comparable to the "Imperial Sword". The wearer can come and go freely in the city of Haojing, and rules such as curfew have no binding force on the wearer.
Standing under the Jiuquyuan archway, Lu Yi looked down at the giant gecko with bared fangs and claws on his chest.
The bright red official robe corresponds to the rank of general in the Guard Palace Prison.
The embroidery craftsmanship of this giant gecko is exceptionally delicate and vivid, and every scale is lifelike.
The giant gecko is coiled around its entire upper body, from head to tail, and on the midline of its back, four blood-red stars are particularly eye-catching.
Luo Qingzhou stood aside, looking at Lu Yi's brand new and shiny robe with a sad heart.
Poor Luo Qingzhou, he had to work in the Guardian Prison for so many years before he could finally wear a big red robe?
But what about Lu Yi?
The guard supervisor, who joined early yesterday morning, put on the same robe as Luo Qingzhou at noon today.
Feeling sour in his heart, Luo Qingzhou laughed and held Lu Yi's hands enthusiastically: "Brother Lu, from now on we are truly family. You will naturally understand my character in the future. Let's... visit each other more often when we are free!"
Without giving Lu Yi a chance to speak, Luo Qingzhou patted the back of Lu Yi's hand vigorously and said, "You have been promoted today, and as your brother, I naturally have to give you some gifts. The emperor has appointed you to work in Yushunfang, and coincidentally, I have a three-story house in the northeast of Yushunfang, so I will give it to you as a gift for your promotion."
"We're brothers , so don't refuse. This is a token of my gratitude, old brother. Haha, haha, hahaha!"
"Let's visit each other more often in the future!"
Luo Qingzhou grabbed Lu Yi's hand and shook it vigorously.
Lu Yu's heart was moved. Great! He had just been promoted and the money was rolling in. A three-story house in Yushunfang, tsk…
"Don't worry, brother. I, Lu Yu, know who is good to me and who is bad to me. From now on, we will truly be brothers." Lu Yu also held Luo Qingzhou's hand tightly and shook it up and down violently.
Having fought side by side with Luo Qingzhou last night, Lu Yi had a good impression of Luo Qingzhou, who was a very responsible and capable boss.
Not to mention, a three-story house in Yushunfang.
Even for the sake of this house, Lu Yi must be more enthusiastic towards Luo Qingzhou, otherwise it would be too cruel.
The sound of dense hoofbeats rang out.
A team of Yulin soldiers came over, driving a large group of war horses.
These war horses stood flat on the ground, with their heads more than two feet taller than those of ordinary people. Their fur was pitch black except for their four hooves, which were a burning blood color. One of them was nicknamed "Blood-hoofed Black Horse".
In the Dayin military system, the Blood-hoofed Black Horse is also one of the top-ranked exotic war horses. If the road conditions are good, it can run continuously for six hours and reach a maximum distance of six to seven thousand miles, which is comparable to the speed of a martial arts master who has reached the perfect Tuomai realm.
Luo Qingzhou 's face twitched, and a feeling of sourness welled up in his stomach again.
Hey, hey, why is this emperor so concerned about Lu Yi? He is even closer to him than to his own son.
With Luo Qingzhou's title and status in the Guard Palace, he used all means and favors to get himself a blood-hoofed black horse as a mount. When he rode that precious horse in and out on weekdays, Luo Qingzhou felt so proud!
But look at the group of blood-hoofed black horses that the emperor personally ordered to be distributed to Lu Yi.
Luo Qingzhou pursed his lips tightly. He suddenly didn't want to talk to Lu Yi at all.
Lu Yi looked at the horses, which were full of blood, with iron-like muscles bulging under their dark and shiny fur, standing on all fours on the ground, and were half a head taller than himself. He couldn't help but shout "Good luck" with joy.
Behind Lu Yi, three hundred elite soldiers who had just left the Yulin Army and were temporarily enlisted in the Palace Guards were also staring at these war horses with shining eyes.
When they had just received the order and learned that their three hundred-man teams would be changed from the Yulin Army to the Palace Guards and assigned to serve under Lu Yi, these three hundred elite Yulin Army soldiers were very depressed - the Yulin Army was the emperor's guard corps, it was glamorous and respectable, and the military pay was extremely generous.
As for the palace guards, it is said that they have a lot of gray income, and an ordinary guard is well-off.
But the reputation of the "Eunuch Party" is too bad.
Who would like to be called a 'dead eunuch without balls' for no reason ?
But when they saw these bloody-hoofed black horses, the depression of the 300 soldiers immediately dissipated.
Twenty young eunuchs wearing dark blue one-horned gecko robes, with white faces and no beards and feminine temperaments stood quietly beside Lu Yi. They looked at these majestic war horses and a slight smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.
Lu Yi jumped onto a black horse with a gilded saddle and pure silver stirrups, and bowed to Luo Qingzhou, who had a distorted face. "Brother Luo, I have some things to deal with, so I'll take my leave for now. We need to get closer in the future!"
There was a neighing of the horse, and Lu Yi squeezed his legs lightly, and the black horse under him spread its hooves and rushed out with a "whoosh", bringing up a gust of wind.
Twenty young eunuchs, three hundred Yulin soldiers... Oh, no, three hundred freshly-recruited eunuchs jumped onto their war horses, nodded to Luo Qingzhou, shouted in unison, and rode after Lu Yi.
The blood-hoofed black horses ran very fast. In an instant, they ran across the long bridge over the canal, and soon they disappeared without a trace along the wide road specially reserved at the edge of the market.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the horse team going away and suddenly sighed: "This is fate. Xiaoxing, get closer to Lu Yi in the future. I think he will be very successful and even faster than his uncle."
Lu Tianxing stood behind Luo Qingzhou and looked up at the sky with a complicated expression.
In the afternoon, around the Shen time (15:00-17:00), Lu Yi led a large group of people to the vicinity of the Laiguo Mansion in Min'anfang.
