Chapter 18: Waiting for the Vice-Gate

"Kneel. ”

In front of the open space on the right side of the city gate, Qu Neng led a group of guards to kneel down to receive orders in accordance with the rules of the army.

At this moment, the Haifeng Gate has been temporarily closed and no entry or exit is allowed.

The eunuch of the Internal Supervision Department slowly spread out the royal decree in his hand, moistened his throat, and began to read it.

For a while, except for the eunuch's voice, it was extremely quiet. Even the people watching from afar did not dare to speak out.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the cultivation sect is indeed powerful, but it is always a little out of reach. The royal dynasty, on the other hand, is real in the world and has no second authority. Therefore, these ordinary people are respectful of the official furniture, and they dare not make trouble for no reason.

Su Wei knelt behind Qu Neng and listened attentively.

Wang Zhi first commended the merit of the joint efforts of the Haifenmen and the city guards to kill Gong San, and said that the king was very pleased. After that, it was a memorial service for the city guards who died in battle, and at the same time a pension was distributed for second-class military exploits. The same applies to those who take part in the war. When Su Wei heard this, his heart was very comfortable. He originally thought that yesterday's events would be at most fourth-class final merits, but he didn't expect the king to be so gracious.

He didn't care how much reward he received, he just hoped that the families of his colleagues who died in the war would receive more.

Qu Neng also breathed a sigh of relief, obviously he was also very satisfied with this ending.

"Su Wei, the soldier of the city, was not afraid of life and death, personally beheaded the palace three, brave and commendable, and was promoted to the deputy gate of Hai Fengmen, admiring this. ”

When the eunuch of the Internal Supervision Department read the last sentence of insistence, Su Wei was instantly stunned.

It never occurred to him that he would have a separate reward.

"Thank you. ”

When Qu Neng bowed, he lightly touched Su Wei, who immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly thanked him.

"Qu Men Wait, Deputy Su Men Wait, the king is very satisfied with you, and this Hai Fen Gate will have to be guarded in the future. "The eunuch sent the edict to collect the king's decree, and said very seriously.

"Please tell your lord that Qu Neng will die in battle. Qu Neng replied in a deep voice.

Su Wei also said: "Su Wei swears to fight to the death." ”

Grandpa Zhang raised his hand lightly: "Everyone get up." ”

When everyone got up, Gonggong Zhang whispered to Su Wei and Di Yunsheng: "The princess is waiting for the two of you in the ear room, go quickly." ”

The princess is naturally Hongze.

But Su Wei really didn't know that she was also here, it should have been when she just received the order, and the other party quietly went to the ear room.

Di Yunsheng didn't speak, and went to the ear room. Su Wei said thank you to Gong Zhang and went too.

After Qu Neng ordered the guards to return to duty, he respectfully invited Gonggong Zhang to the side to talk. According to the rules, the person who received the decree should give the eunuch some broken silver. Although Qu Neng is upright, he is not stubborn, and naturally knows how to do it.

......

When Di Yunsheng walked outside the ear room, he stopped. Su Wei looked at him and said in a low voice, "What's wrong." The latter was silent for a moment and said, "Go in." ”

Su Wei pushed the door open.

Inside the house, Hongze was holding the small fish in his arms and combing his hair.

This girl didn't look like she was awake, and let Hongze fiddle with it.

"I've seen the princess. Su Wei bowed his hand.

Di Yunsheng stood aside and bent down slightly.

Hongze pointed to the little fish in his arms and said to Su Wei: "Is this your sister, so cute, but I don't like to talk." When she first saw Xiaoyu yesterday, the other party was leaning on Su Wei's arms. Therefore, Hongze thought that this little girl was Su Wei's sister. After all, at Su Wei's age, he couldn't give birth to such a big child.

"She's a mute. After Di Yunsheng finished speaking, Hongze was surprised: "What?"

"That's right. Su Wei said before and after the adoption of the small fish.

"This kid is so pitiful. After hearing this, Hongze gently stroked Xiaoyu's head: "In this way, I will take her back to the palace to raise her well, and I just ask the medical officer to take a look at her throat and see if she can be cured." ”

Di Yunsheng didn't speak, and looked at Su Wei.

Su Wei was naturally unwilling, he was about to refuse, Xiaoyu suddenly broke free from Hongze's arms, and then quickly ran behind Su Wei, hugging the other party's thigh, saying that he was unwilling to go with this princess.

"Well, it looks like this kid likes you a lot. Hongze suddenly said a little embarrassed: "I won't take people's love." ”

"The princess is kind-hearted, and Su Wei admires it. Su Wei took Xiaoyu's hand and let the little girl settle down.

"Originally, the king was going to transfer you to the imperial city to serve as the head of the Imperial Forest Army, but some people in the Imperial History Observatory said that you were on duty to drink, so you were given a position as a deputy gatekeeper. Su Wei, you are not allowed to drink alcohol on duty in the future. Hongze's words were very soft, unlike those royal relatives and nobles who oppressed people with power.

Su Wei immediately replied: "Thank you princess for reminding me, Su Wei will definitely pay attention in the future." ”

"Uh...... , Okay, you go out first, I'll say a few words to Brother Yunsheng. Hongze's face was slightly red. Su Wei immediately picked up Xiaoyu and walked out of the ear room and closed the door.

Xiao Yu stretched her neck and wanted to peek at the window, Su Wei dared to follow her, and hurriedly hugged the girl to the wooden table and sat down.

After a while, the door of the transept opened.

When Hongze walked out, there were tears faintly in the corners of his eyes. Without saying a word, she returned to the carriage. Father-in-law Zhang, who was talking to Qu Neng, quickly stopped, arched his hand with Qu Neng, and got into the carriage.

Soon, the carriage departed, escorted by a group of Imperial Guards.

Su Wei looked at Di Yunsheng beside him, the other party's face was very pale, he didn't say a word, picked up the horn bow on the table and walked towards the corner of the city.

In the distance, Qu Neng beckoned to Su Wei.

Su Wei put the little fish down and said, "You play by yourself, I have something to do." Xiao Yu nodded, and slipped into the ear room.

No need to ask, eat and go.

Su Wei walked to the city gate, Qu Neng looked around at the city guards, and said in a loud voice: "Just now, you have all heard the will of the king, from today on, Su Wei is the deputy gate of Hai Feng Gate, and he has not seen Shangguan." ”

Panyu 12 door waiting, set up a deputy door waiter, not many, but there are also. In short, the deputy gate is generally the successor of the door candidate. If Qu can rise one day, Su Wei will be a waiter.

Although the rank of the deputy gate is not high, he is already an official, and Su Wei has entered this position from an ordinary guard, which can be regarded as the glory of the ancestors. After all, his father had been in the army for many years and had never obtained half of the official position. As for the grandfather, it seems that there is none.

In the upper echelons of the army, if there is no background support, they must use force to oppress others.

Since the battle of the afternoon, these guards of Haifenmen have respected Su Wei very much, and they have long regarded him as the No. 2 person in Haifenmen, and now they are all happy and convinced when they see that the other party has been promoted to deputy gatekeeper. They all hit the ground with their halberds, and said in unison: "I've seen the deputy door." ”

Su Wei was a little distracted when he heard this, he really didn't expect that he would be able to become a deputy doorman one day. Qu Neng on the side pushed him and motioned for him to reply.

"All the gentlemen are encouraged. Su Wei didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only reply with four words.

......

Imperial.

Inside the Xuanzheng Hall.

Wang Xuanjiao watched the red sun slowly set, and then looked back at the long box on the table, and his eyes were melancholy.

Meng Shi stood to the side and said in a low voice: "The dark guard came to report, I have never seen Fang Tian out of the city, nor have I seen Fang Tian at the stronghold set up by the Aoki Sect in the city. ”

"This man must still be in the city. ”

The person Xuan Hunt said was not referring to Fang Tian.

Meng Shi said cautiously: "This person kills Fang Qiong first, and then kills Fang Tian, the realm is unpredictable, and the king must not be in danger." ”

"If we can't find him, we'll have to take the blame. Xuan Hunt clenched his fists: "Fang Qiong is dead when he dies, but Fang Tian is the Ning Yuan Realm, and the Aoki Sect will definitely not give up." ”

Meng Shi understood the thoughts of the king, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. After a while, he remembered something, so he said: "Just now, someone from the Criminal Division came to report that a fire broke out in the underworld where Gong San's body was placed, and Gong San's body was burned to ashes. ”

Gengari frowned and said, "Go on." ”

"Gong San has been hiding in Panyu City for a long time, and suddenly appeared in Haifeng Gate yesterday, thinking that someone had done something from it. Meng Shi paused and said, "Now that his body is burned, those people must want to destroy the corpse." ”

"This should have been done by Fang Tian, he must have used the Dementor Pill to control Gong San, and then let Gong San go to Hai Feng Gate to kill. Genga continued, "Afterwards, Aoki Sect was worried that someone would find the power of the Dementor Pill in Gong San's body, so he set it on fire. ”

"Tell the Criminal Division that this is the end of the matter. ”

After Xuan Hunt finished speaking, Meng Shi said, "Is Fang Tian's move just to vent his hatred?"

"Or else?" asked Genka.

"I just don't understand why Gong San just wants to go to Hai Fenmen. ”

After Meng Shi finished speaking, a trace of solemnity flashed in Xuan Hunt's eyes.
