Gu Key observed the movement around him for a long time, and turned into an alley. This alley is the only place in the huge Yongan Street that is not illuminated by candles, and it is so dark that it doesn't seem to have a trace of light. Sikong Xi also wanted to take the opportunity to look at some more street gadgets, but Gu Jian dragged him in with great strength, not giving him a chance to drag.

In the deep alley, the two walked for a long time. When he walked forward again, there was suddenly a glimmer of light, Sikong Xi was stunned, and just wanted to say something, but suddenly found that Gu Key's expression was a little gloomy, which seemed to have a different kind of pathos.

The bright light was completely reflected in front of Sikong Xi's eyes, but it was still so dim. The candle flame in a pair of red lanterns fluttered, as if it could be extinguished by the cold wind of early winter at any time. The door of the liquor store is open, and there is no signboard on it, only two wine flags, one green and one white, are waving in the wind, and the word "wine" is written on each of them. This small world hidden in the depths of Yong'an Street is not as dilapidated as Sikong Xi imagined, but on the contrary, it is arranged in a clear order.

There was a slightly drunk wine seller, holding half a pot of warm soju in his hand and slowly walked out of the restaurant, Sikong Xi looked at the man carefully, and from the hoe in his other hand, he could see that this was a peasant man. The guests who came here to eat and drink were all villagers with little wealth or craftsmen in this martial arts city.

Sikong Xi was amazed by the environment here, like a place out of the world.

"This is a liquor store owned by my subordinates." Gu Jian saw Sikong Xi's surprise and pointed to the wine shop in front of him.

"There's really something special here...... Sikong Xi admired.

"You kid has to say more when you go in, otherwise the shopkeeper will be unhappy." Gu Key walked into the wine shop.

From the outside, the scale of this wine shop is not very large, but from the inside, the internal layout of the restaurant is quite atmospheric. There weren't many people inside, but it was quite lively. The shopkeeper and a woman jointly maintain this small wine shop, and the business is sluggish, but it can also get by.

"Brother Wang, give this kid some food." Gu Jian leaned in front of the cabinet and took out a few copper baht and put them on the table.

Sikong Xi saw that the two of them must have something to say, so he walked to a corner first and found a quiet table.

"Yo, Director Gu, don't call me that! I can't stand your big brother! "The shopkeeper known as Brother Wang is a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard. He walked straight through the front cabinet, laughing and hugging the ancient key, asking how he was doing.

His wife smiled softly on the side, put away a few copper baht given by the ancient key, and instructed the cook to buy some wine and food.

Gu Key broke away from the shopkeeper slightly, and under his puzzled gaze, he put a large bag of things on the table with a large bag of things on his waist, and the sound of the two characteristics of the baht shook in the ears of the shopkeeper, and he looked at all this in front of him in astonishment, but he didn't react for a while.

Director Gu ...... This? ”

Gu Jian looked at Dahan and smiled slowly, "These are not just what I meant, but also the other brothers of the Supervision Division. ”

"Director......" Dahan lifted the bag of baht taels, and was stunned by the big bag full of them, and couldn't help but smile, "I can't take this money!" ”

"Wang Wusi, if you are still a fucking man, take it from me!" Gu Jian slammed his fist on the table, his cold eyes were full of anger, "You don't want to live, your wife can't starve to death with you!" ”

Wang Wusi was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and put it down again, lowered his head and couldn't say anything.

"I am the director of the Supervision Department, and you are my subordinate, this is my order!" The ancient key roared, "It's not a request!" ”

"Listen to me," Gu Jian pressed Wang Wusi's hand the bag of baht, not allowing him to say more, "You two husband and wife are almost at the end of maintaining this wine shop, and I want to bring my brothers here to drink again." ”

"Director," Wang Wusi knelt down suddenly, but did not cause any shock in the wine shop, "Great grace does not thank you......"

Gu Jian watched Wang Wusi's wife also approach, and slowly knelt down, her eyes already full of tears. He was silent, didn't say a word, and turned around and walked to Sikong Xi's table.

"Why does this middle-aged man still call you Director? Could it be that at his age, he still can't join Yan Ling's army? Sikong Xi knocked his hand on the table.

"He's my subordinate, and this year has passed the year of establishment. It's a very mediocre peasant who joined my company four months ago. Because he came in late, no matter how old he was, he had to call me the director. Gu Jian said slowly, "The rules of military service are not negligent and negligent. As for why he couldn't join Yan Lingjun, it was because he didn't have that kind of intention. He is just an ordinary man, his daughter-in-law and children are in charge of housekeeping at home, and he earns some military salaries by himself. Therefore, his role was only to guard the northern gates. But his knowledge is shallow, he can't read big words, and he doesn't know that joining the army is to follow him to the front line to kill the enemy. By the time he found out about it, it was too late, and the position of guard was still what I had begged for. ”

"I know the plight of these civilians and the reason why he doesn't want to die. So I helped him. Gu Key's faint tone seemed to be saying something that should be done.

"A few days ago, he went home to recuperate from a work injury, and I didn't come to see him for the first time." Gu Key said, "So today I took this opportunity to visit him here, and by the way, give him this money." ”

"My ears are not bad, I heard you say that this money was prepared by your Supervision Department together," Sikong Xi stared at Gu Key, "This is a lie, right?" Money is the military salary you save little by little, right? ”

"You kid is clever," Gu Key smiled wryly.

"Did you think of the consequences of helping him?" Sikong Xi asked coldly.

"That's secondary." Gu Jian didn't wait for Sikong Xi to answer, and got up to catch the food in the cook's hand.

"Eat, I'm going to come here more often in the future." The ancient key pushes the food towards Sikong Xi.

Sikong Xi didn't move, he looked at the ancient key, as if he had something to say.

"The reason to help him is not just compassion, right?"

Gu Jian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "It seems that it is still a bit difficult to hide some things from your kid." ”

"Why?" Sikong Xi buried his head and gobbled up, occasionally raising his head.

"Don't talk about that."

"But I think maybe it's better to say it."

Gu Jian only asked for Sikong Xi's own food, and did not reserve his own, but he was given a pot of soju by Wang Wusi.

He lifted the lid of the jar, and immediately the heat poured out. He caught the syrup in the wine cup, took a sip, and slowly swallowed the hot heat into his stomach.

"You know, Xi boy. In the past, I was also a gentleman. "His amount of alcohol is actually not good, but he still insists on the pot of soju, and he can't chill the hearts of his subordinates.

"Gentleman, that's synonymous with doing all kinds of evil." Gu Jian said leisurely, "Just like that Cheng Bi and the people you met in the public kitchen. They don't look like people at all, but like a pack of vicious dogs. ”

"My family is the first family of Liesun City south of Wushu City. It can be regarded as the uncrowned emperor on the trade road of Youya Country. "When I was fifteen years old, I followed the elders of my clan to this martial arts city to discuss business. ”

"We discussed the intention of cooperation in the future in the first restaurant on Yongan Street. I'm a gentleman, and everybody knows that. Gu Jian sighed softly, "I was only fifteen years old at the time, but at the age of fifteen, I was already comfortable wandering around the prostitution hall and other places of wind and snow. I wanted to taste something new that day, so I wanted to go to the prostitution house. But on the way I met a woman, no, to be precise, a girl who had just reached the end of her life. ”

"I was completely attracted to her, and not just because of her slender figure. Perhaps, the bigger reason is her unworldly virgin body that exudes a fragrance all over her body. I couldn't move half a step further, and my nose twitched vigorously to smell the fragrance on her body, and the fragrance was better than a quiet orchid. I stared blankly into her eyes, her small mouth that seemed to be stained with cinnabar, and her tall, growing breasts...... And, her legs trembling with her steps...... "Gu Jian stopped suddenly, and he looked at the wine cup in his hand in a daze.

"And then?" Sikong Xi had probably guessed the next development, but he was still willing to continue listening. ”

"Poor me, I only have the demeanor of a child, but I don't have the style of a child." Gu Key sighed softly, "I very neatly let the two guards take her to my room. That night, she became my woman. ”

"Can't you see, a seemingly cold guy like you, still has such a powerful past?" Sikong Xi smiled lowly.

Gu Jian poured another glass of soju into his throat and ignored him, "When I woke up the next morning, I wanted to be happy to let that little lady be my wife." But the scene in front of me made me lose my soul, and she had committed suicide by neck. ”

"She's going to cry and make trouble, I've more or less guessed a few." "But I never thought she would die," he said. That scene almost scared me silly. ”

"In that overcrowded restaurant, I collapsed on the carved bed of Shangyang on the top floor, and stared blankly at the poignant face of the girl, and I leaned over and kissed her face, contrary to the roughness I had treated her last night. I don't think I would ever think that someone like me would suffer because of a dead girl. In fact, my father, who is the head of the house, can have as many stunners as I want. ”

"But my heart ached so hard in my chest that I wanted to die with her. But the pain shocked me and made me realize that death was not an easy idea. It wasn't as easy as I thought......," said the ancient key, "and I took the cut finger in my mouth. I can roll on the ground in pain with such a little pain, so how painful is it to die? ”

"The guards found her lying beside me like a withered flower, and told my uncle. When my uncle heard about it, he didn't care. He used his power to suppress the matter. The girl's body, for a ridiculous reason of suicide, was thrown in front of the man. ”

"That man is Wang Wusi." "I saw him crouching in front of the girl's corpse and crying, almost like he was vomiting blood. His wife is beautiful, and it's no wonder that his daughter is such a stunner. His wife stood quietly beside him, as if she were stupid, trembling and unable to say a word. ”

"From that moment on, I severed all ties with my family." Gu Key roared lowly, as if he was recounting his countless crimes, "The family is also happy to do this, I am just a gentleman, and I have no business talents. ”

"I was at a loss on the huge Yong'an Street, like a fly without a head." Gu Jian said, "It was Governor Lü Du who saw that I was pitiful, so he let me join the guard, so that I would not starve to death." ”

"Later, I thought ......," he said, "to become a director so smoothly, my father probably didn't help less, but he was still reluctant......"

"Until the end, it was he who did everything for me behind my back."

Gu Jian drank the soju cup after cup. The boiling spiciness, his body twitched for a while, his face was hot and red, and his eyes were swollen like copper bells.

After only a cup of tea, he collapsed on the table, the unfinished cup swayed and poured on it, the warm soju slowly flowed down the wooden table, and he repeatedly knocked on the wooden table with his fingers that still had strength, muttering and muttering.

"I ...... I have a family member, but he ...... But what about him? He said, "Wang Wusi ...... No......"

Sikong Xi was stunned, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the scar on Gu Key's hand.
