Chapter 10: A Day in Seleuc
No matter how corrupt the empire is, there will be laws, and since there are laws, there will be people who enforce them. The Imperial Capital Guards are such an existence, and they are responsible for maintaining daily order, arresting thieves, and protecting the safety of the lives and property of the people of the Imperial Capital...... Hawkers, it's just casual talk before, don't take it seriously!
In fact, the Imperial Capital Guard is nothing more than a group of licensed villains, such as their boss Ou Jia, who accepts bribes, not only colludes with officials and businessmen to engage in smuggling activities, but also uses innocent people as scapegoats.
Although his swordsmanship is also first-class among ordinary people, he is just an "ordinary master" without the emperor, he can't get on the stage, and the night attack does not dispatch the veteran members, just let the newcomer Tazmi do it, and he can easily solve him.
The Imperial Capital Guard has lost its boss and its morale has plummeted, but at such a critical moment, a heavy task has fallen on their shoulders: to ensure that the transaction between the royal family and the Goddess Chamber of Commerce goes smoothly!
Of course, the Emperor's escort is in charge of the guards under the command of General Bude, and it is not their turn yet, the main task of the Imperial Capital Guard is to ensure the security of the perimeter, and there will be no assassins or dead soldiers who will come out to stir up the situation on the trading day, which is not too difficult to some extent.
But the surge in workload still makes everyone in the guard complain, in the past, they only need to drink tea in the comfort of the office, but now they have to patrol the streets under the scorching sun, which is undoubtedly a change from heaven to hell, these guys can still persist in completing the first two days, but then they completely rely on the office and do not come out, throwing the heavy task to a yellow-haired little girl.
"Now, Seleuc, my foot is twisted, can I ask you for today's patrol?"
A little girl with orange hair and a ponytail said energetically: "No problem, your patrol area is handed over to me, you can recuperate with peace of mind!"
"Oh, it's worthy of Captain Oja's beloved apprentice, it's really reliable!"
The little girl known as Seleuc showed a hint of gloom on her face, but she was soon filled with sunlight again, she clenched her fists, and said to a bunch of "sick numbers" in the room: "Everyone, please rest assured, I will successfully complete the patrol mission." Please get better quickly, after all, there are only two days left in the trading day, and everyone needs to work together at that time, but we can't fall into the name of our Imperial Capital Guard!"
"Don't worry, we'll be fine that day!"
Sai Leu smiled and nodded: "Okay, you continue to recuperate, I'm going out on patrol!"
"Be careful all the way!"
Seleuc ran out with a strange white puppy, and the sick couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey, you people are so bad that you deceive a little girl like this. ”
"You don't have the same thing, what twisted your waist when chopping vegetables, can't you think of a more reliable idea?"
"It's also a shame that that idiot would believe it!"
"Don't say that, we have to thank that idiot, otherwise how can we sit in the office and drink tea leisurely?"
"Speaking of this...... I brought wine, do you want to drink it?"
"It's going to smell big, Seleuc came back and asked what to do?"
"Let's just say that it's good medicine and wine, fooling that little girl, I have 10,000 ways!"
"Then what are you waiting for, come on, full!"
There was a sound of pushing cups and changing lamps in the house, and Seleu outside the house was leading the white puppy, patrolling seriously under the scorching sun, because one person took on the task of the entire guard, and might patrol until late at night, but she was still proud and happy to be able to help everyone.
Only in this way will you not live up to Captain Oja's expectations, right?
It's a pity that the kind and reliable master has left her forever.
It's all the killer organization called Night Raid, who wantonly took the lives of others and committed unpardonable sins!
After the mission of the trading day is over, just like the team above applied for transfer to the team chasing the night attack, the blood debt must be repaid with blood!
Seleuc's face turned hideous, but an old woman struck her on the head with a cane, and said impatiently: "Hey, little girl, I have called you a lot, are you deliberately ignoring the old body?"
"It hurts!" Seliu covered his head and bowed repeatedly: "Yes, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now, may I ask you to tell me something?"
The old woman snorted: "Today's young people are really real, and even let me repeat it...... I said, I have a geriatric disease, I forgot the way home, hurry up and send me back, my little begonia is still waiting to eat!"
"Is Little Begonia your granddaughter? Children can't go hungry, they won't grow tall!" Salud saluted and said energetically, "Please rest assured, I will send you home immediately...... Do you remember where your home was?"
"Nonsense!" the old woman slammed her crutches on the ground: "How could I forget my own home, do you think I'm an old fool with geriatric disease? My home is at 13 Maple Street!"
A big bead of sweat slid down Seleuc's head, obviously you said that you were suffering from geriatric diseases, but you forgot it in a second? It seems that the illness is not light!
"Hey, what are you waiting for?" the old woman struck Seleuc on the head with a cane, "Take me home quickly!"
Seleuc is about to cry, this old woman is super painful to beat. She hurriedly took the other party's hand and walked in the direction of Maple Street: "Yes, I'm sorry!
"Go too fast! You have to be considerate of me, an old woman!"
"I'm sorry!"
"It's too slow, my little begonia is hungry, are you going to go to the evening?"
"I'm sorry!"
"Really, young people nowadays are really unreliable!"
"It's ...... I'm sorry!"
Seleuc finally sent the old woman home with great difficulty, and she let out a sigh of relief and looked at the small room: "Old woman, where is the little begonia?"
"Isn't it coming out?" said the old woman, and a lazy black cat came out of the corner, meowed at the two of them, and then saw the white puppy led by Seleu, and the fur on its body stood on end, and Ula Ullah let out a threatening roar.
The white puppy did not dare to show weakness, showing its big canine teeth and letting out a low whimper.
"Is Little Begonia a cat?" Seleu couldn't laugh or cry, and then the old woman's crutches hit her head again, and she almost cried out in pain.
"Your dog scared my little begonia, you guys get out of my house quickly!" The old woman was so angry that she was about to jump up, and Seleuc was afraid that she would have an accident, so she quickly ran out of the door with the white puppy in her arms.
The outside world is still shining, but Sai Leu, who has been busy for most of the day, didn't even drink saliva, she swallowed a mouthful of spit, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said to the white puppy with self-deprecation: "Xiaobi, justice is really not easy." ”
"Woo!" The puppy called Xiaobi stuck out his tongue and licked his master's cheek, as if to stabilize Seliu, and Seliu also chuckled and kissed Xiaobi on the face, and then the energetic yellow-haired girl came back again, she clenched her hands into fists, and said loudly: "Okay, you have to continue to work hard!"
"Hey, stop!" the old woman's voice appeared behind Seleuc, she almost subconsciously covered her head, took a few steps back and asked carefully, "Still, is there anything else?"
"This is for you!" the old woman threw over a small bag, and Seleu hurriedly caught it.
"My biscuits are famous on this street!" the old woman smiled at Seleuc for the first time after she finished stinking off: "Anyway, thank you for sending me back!"
Sai Leu trembled, the original grievances disappeared, she carefully tied the small bag around her waist, saluted seriously and said: "Imperial Capital Guard Sai Liu, I am very happy to serve you!"
The old woman smiled and nodded, her expression suddenly changed, and she returned to her fierce face, and shouted loudly: "Who are you, why are you standing at the door of my house, do you want to rob me of the family wealth of this lonely old woman? Don't look at my age, I can beat ten yellow-haired girls like you in one breath!"
Seeing that the cane was striking at her head again, Seleuca ran and said, "Old woman, you must hurry up and cure your old age!"
There was an angry roar from behind: "The old body has no geriatric diseases!"
"Hahaha!" Sai Leu picked up his pet Xiaobi and ran briskly: "But as long as you persevere, justice will always be realized, you are right, Xiaobi!"
"Wow!"
