Volume 2 Ember Chapter 68 Meeting
"Brother Key!" Petite girl shouts in a low voice, "Don't go ......"
Sikong Xi and the Ancient Key were both shocked, but only a short moment later, the Ancient Key reacted. He didn't answer the girl, but gently grabbed her hand and turned around to pick her up.
"Silly girl." Gu Jian ran his hand through the end of the girl's hair and hugged her tightly, "I won't go." ”
"But Uncle Nie said, you don't want me anymore." Tears welled up in the girl's eyes.
"No...... I won't. Gu Jian silently looked up to see the flower rain that had been permeating for a long time.
Like a flower trade wind, there is already a accustomed wind in the rain.
Sikong Xi took advantage of the two of them to embrace, and quickly walked down the top of the slope and walked towards the western suburbs. When he came, he heard how generous those children of the family were, and he secretly wanted to follow up to make a fortune.
The further down you go, the more people there are. At this time, the sinking boat has been a long time ago, and the residents are standing by the pool, their hands reverently docked on the periphery of the children of the family, quietly worshipping the sword of the first emperor. It's just that some of the residents with stolen eyebrows are looking around at something.
Sikong Xi also lurked in one place, staring at the few people who were about to move, while glancing at the master of ceremonies on the high platform in front of him.
The master of ceremonies is responsible for guiding the common people on how to worship and as a mentor to the children of the family. At a time like this, it is the most serious time, and no one is allowed to move around at will, which would be a blasphemy against the king. But the sinking boat has been going on for a long time, and if it is delayed any longer, the treasures it is carrying will be in vain.
Sikong Xi quietly moved towards the rear, glancing at the master of ceremonies at the front, and staring at the ruffians who were trembling and trying to leave.
"This big brother," Sikong Xi lowered his head and approached a middle-aged man beside him, and quietly patted him, "How many of you are there?" ”
The middle-aged man didn't react, and was suddenly slapped by Sikong Xi behind him, and shuddered, "You...... This kid! What a shot, I want to die! ”
"Huh...... This big brother, don't be angry yet," Sikong Xi smiled hesitantly, "Are you going to go to the western suburbs later and pick up the treasures thrown by the children of the family?" ”
The man was stunned, and thought that the kid in front of him was a guard in the city, and his words couldn't help but be hesitant, "No...... No! Get out of my way, don't get in my way! ”
"Hey...... Big brother, don't worry, I'm not a guard here. I know what you're trying to do, why don't you let the kid help you? Sikong Xi's hand held the handle of the knife, ready to respond to emergencies.
"Help me?" The man squinted at Sikong Xi and became angry, "Just you, kid, what can you help me?" ”
"Then I'll have a lot of them," Sikong Xi looked around, and saw the guards standing on the periphery not far away, "I can accommodate those guards and let you get out of here quietly." ”
"Can you lure the guards away!?" The man was stunned, and then his eyes changed to suspicion, "How can you lead away those guards when you're just a child?" Don't play tricks on me, or I won't be able to spare you!" ”
"Just watch!" Sikong Xi glanced at the man and ran towards the guard without looking back.
At the end of the crowd, there stood several solemn guards, each of whom held an extremely long spear in their hands, and there were still some mottled blood stains on it. I think it was someone who dared to violate the laws of Liesun City before, and was severely suppressed by the guards.
Sikong Xi walked up to a guard with an immature face, and leaned over, "Little brother, do you remember me?" ”
"You...... Who is it? The young guard glanced at Sikong Xi, and the spear in his hand vibrated slightly, as if he was threatening the unkind comer. Although Sikong Xi's age looks about the same age as this guard, there are not a few people in Liesun City who are like this age.
"Go back to your place and stand up, now is a very serious time, I can't allow you to make a mistake!" The young guard stood up straight again, looked straight ahead, and the spear in his hand was pushed out horizontally, horizontally in front of Sikong Xi.
"This ......" Sikong Xi was stunned, and his hand quietly reached into the waist sheath behind him.
"Don't move! If you move again, you're welcome. The young guard let out a low snort, and the spear slammed into Sikong Xi's hand that reached behind his waist.
"Don't go too far!" Sikong Xi roared, and there was a lot of fine sweat on his forehead because of the pain.
A few splashes in the crowd looked coldly at Sikong Xi, who was beaten, and a sneer appeared on their lips.
"This kid...... Do you really think you can bribe the guards easily? Idiot! The middle-aged man who had previously negotiated the conditions with Sikong Xi turned his head and stopped looking at Sikong Xi.
In the cold air, thousands of residents are worshipping with their hands in worship, their eyes full of reverence. Sikong Xi, who was on the outermost side, was in a stalemate with a young guard, and several other guards not far away also noticed the anomaly here and approached here.
"One...... One gold baht! Sikong Xi quickly took out a golden baht, hurriedly stuffed it into the palm of the young guard, and looked straight at him, "Official, be accommodating......
He secretly looked at the guards approaching behind the young man, and he was a little frightened, but he didn't dare to move. This time it was a real big game, he naively thought that all the guards would be subjugated under the golden baht, but who knew that there was such a stubborn stunned young man.
"This stunned ......," Sikong Xi gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.
"Trying to bribe the city guards?" The young guard's face was obviously angry, and the spear swung fiercely at Sikong Xi's feet, but in the end, Sikong Xi dodged it very quickly.
"Knowing that it is a sin! Still guilty, it's time to fight! The young guard was really angry, and threw the gold baht that Sikong Xi had stuffed into his hand and threw it to the ground.
Seeing that this guard was so ignorant, Sikong Xi's ruffian temper surged upward, he quickly bent down and picked up the golden baht, and glared at the young man with vicious dog-like eyes.
"You dare!"
The boy was stunned, then furious, and swung his spear again to hit him. And the dozens of guards behind him had already walked to the boy's side.
"Zhao Yi!" A tall figure caught the spear that the boy had swung out, "Elm head!" There is no flexibility at all! How does Lao Tzu usually teach you! ”
"Division...... Director! The young man who was called Zhao Yi hurriedly knelt down and lowered his head fiercely, "Director, this kid is trying to bribe with gold baht!" I'm on official business! ”
"Bullshit on duty! Stand up for me! The tall man had the smell of wine in his mouth, picked up Zhao Yi, approached his ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Let him go first, and I'll tell you about the rest of the ......."
"This ...... I understand. Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded knowingly.
"It's good to understand!" The man stopped his hand and looked at Sikong Xi in front of him with his eyebrows.
Sikong Xi also met the eyes of the man, and the man was Jiang Xi, who had secretly talked to Yi Yu about the news in the suburban wine shop the night before.
"Boy, your name is Sikong Xi?" Jiang Xi looked at the young man in front of him.
"Yes......" Sikong Xi stepped back slightly, his hand tightly grasped the sheath of his waist, and he could pull out his sword at any time.
Jiang Xi saw this scene in his eyes and smiled slowly, "Relax, boy." I ask you, do you want to get out of here? ”
"Yes...... yes, I want to get out of here! When Sikong Xi heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and he decided to tell a little lie.
"I want to get out of here and find someone."
"Looking for someone?" Jiang Xi's eyes were meaningful, "Is it Yi Yu?" ”
Sikong Xi was stunned suddenly, like thunder pouring straight into his body, and his consciousness was scattered in an instant.
"You...... Are you talking about Director Yi? He asked in a low voice, as if he was dying.
"You can rest assured that we are his inner responders in the city of Lieson. And our encounter is not accidental, it is inevitable. Jiang Xi pushed Sikong Xi out fiercely in the stunned eyes of his subordinates, "Go, Yi Yu is waiting for you in the lower reaches of the western suburbs, he is also a prodigal." You're a kid like him, and you love these weird little activities. ”
"The director is waiting for me in the western suburbs!?" Sikong Xi was stunned, and his footsteps did not stop.
"Your mission is on the agenda." Jiang Xi waved his hand at him, but Yu Guang stared fiercely at some people in the crowd who were about to move.
"Tell me to go down, send more manpower, strictly control the security around Qingyu Pond, and no one is allowed to go out without permission! Those who violate the rules will be severely punished! Jiang Xi gave an order to one of the guards, and then strode in the direction of the master of ceremonies.
As soon as the splashes in the crowd saw that Sikong Xi had really gone out, they immediately became sluggish.
"This kid...... I actually recognize the head of the guard! A sharp-eyed person saw Jiang Xi who was talking to Sikong Xi clearly.
"Don't let me catch you...... I'm going to have to skin you! The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and hated.
It was obviously impossible for these pranksters to get out, and they didn't have the courage to compete with the guards' spears, so they could only watch Sikong Xi walk away.
Sikong Xi wandered alone in the streets, not knowing the purpose. The night before, Yi Yu's late return had been unilaterally revised to not returning all night, and although he did not doubt that something would happen to the director, unnecessary worries were always inevitable.
With the ancient key, he just left a note "I have something to do" and went out early, he took the money bag to prepare grain and grass and left a few gold baht, which seemed to let Sikong Xi spend it himself.
All the matters were handled by the two of them, and Sikong Xi naturally calmed down. He was in a trance as if he was still the thief, thinking about how to steal.
The sudden burst of cold breath made Sikong Xi shudder, and he turned around in shock, but he didn't see anything. In addition to the bustling crowd, there are shopkeepers who are shouting loudly. But at this moment, he slowly stopped his gaze and looked fixedly at the shop in the corner.
