On the south side of the city gate, after two days, Qin Shou's heart seems to have passed a long time, the quaint city wall, as if it has been standing here since ancient times, the wall more than three zhang high is covered with a little moss, and these mosses are the traces of the passage of time, which is the best evidence of the vicissitudes of life.

There were about more than ten soldiers guarding the gate, guarding the city day after day to check the vehicles entering and leaving the caravan, and the government paid a salary of silver and water, and occasionally accepted some small bribes, and went to the Huai River to enjoy or buy wine, and the life was also nourishing.

Xiao Zhang, the leader of the city defense team after drinking a little wine, inspected the city gate with the smell of wine, and the boring mechanical days of defending the city would be worn out even by the most ambitious people, and the people and caravans who came in and out were not surprised.

"Xiao Bantou!"

"Xiao Bantou, you're here."

"Xiao Bantou, how is Miss Luo of Yihong Courtyard?"

"It's a shame, it's very sassy, next time my brother will take a few of you to stack Arhats together, haha......"

Xiao Zhang, who drank the flower wine, instigated with the brothers who guarded the city, such a boring and boring day, and only chatting about these can be fun, visiting brothels is a place where every normal man goes.

"Well, yes, I'm pretty good at getting by."

"Who are you? Dare to eavesdrop on the uncle......"

Qin Shou appeared behind Xiao Zhang, nodding his head and praising the voice, Xiao Zhang, who was interrupted, turned around, looked at Qin Shou with drunken eyes, didn't know, and reprimanded Qin Shou who was eavesdropping with an arrogant attitude.

"Presumptuous, let go of Xiao Bantou."

"Brothers, someone is making ......"

Qin Shou dragged the drunken Xiao Zhang with one hand, it happened too suddenly, the soldiers defending the city reacted and pulled out their sabers one after another, Qin Shou showed the waist card given by Wu Daodao, and the soldiers guarding the city stopped with stunned faces.

These soldiers who defend the city, guarding the city for so many years are basically free-range, as long as the daily tax is handed over to the government on time, there is basically nothing to do with them, and the lord of the governor's mansion will not be idle and arrange people to come over to inspect or something.

But there was an accident today, and Lord Zhizhou really arranged for the master of the government to come over, and they may not be able to be a master who has no power and no reality, but Lord Zhizhou's token has to give face.

Qin Shou raised Xiao Zhang with one hand and said, "I am Qin Shou, the master of Zhizhou Mansion, who are you?" ”

Xiao Zhang, who had woken up most of the time, trembled and said: "Small, small Xiao Zhang, the leader of the city guarding team, I don't know that Master Qin is here, and I hope that Master Qin will forgive me." ”

The soldiers guarding the city clenched their fists and pleaded: "I also hope that Master Qin's subordinates will show mercy and spare Xiao Bantou." ”

Qin Shou squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Zhang, who was sober up, and put down Xiao Zhang with a smile instead of anger and said, "Heh, I didn't expect you to be popular, for the sake of these brothers' intercession, forget it this time, and don't take it as an example." ”

If you want to mix well and not fight the leader, Xiao Zhang can be loved by these city guards, he must have a set of his own means, and drinking alcohol during Xiao Zhang's duty time is enough to convict, but Qin Shou did not punish him, and he had to be forgiving and forgiving.

Xiao Zhang was relieved and relieved and thanked him: "Master Xie, his subordinate is surnamed Xiao, and his name is Zhang." ”

Qin Shou put away the token and said politely in return: "Xiao Bantou, this master was sent by Lord Zhizhou to guard the city gate, and I hope that Xiao Bantou will be treated more in the past few days, if the brothers can afford it, you can call me Master Qin in the future, and I will treat you when I first came here today." ”

The soldiers guarding the city didn't expect Qin Shou to have an easy-going personality, and they didn't look down on them and called them brothers, so they happily clasped their fists and responded in unison: "Thank you, Master Qin." ”

Xiao Zhang was a little flattered and clenched his fists and said, "Master Qin, how can you break your fortune, this should be ......"

Qin Shou stopped interrupting Xiao Zhang's words and said: "Okay, don't fight, in the future, it will be more time for you to break the bank, today I invited, you, go buy good wine and food, change shifts, let's have a good drink." ”

The guards who were named by Qin Shou ran forward and responded: "Okay, let's go for the little ones." ”

To fight the grassroots relationship, you must be willing to pay the capital, Qin Shou took out 50 wen money, and directly stuffed it to the soldiers guarding the city to prepare wine and food, and the soldiers who got the money were overjoyed, and went to find a familiar wine shop to order wine and food.

In Xiao Zhang's leading the way, Qin Shou was generally familiar with the work of defending the city, and it was indeed very boring and boring assembly-line work, collecting taxes, inspecting, or collecting taxes, opening the city gate at the beginning of the day, closing the city gate at the end of the day, and no one was allowed to open the city gate without an emergency military situation or an order from the governor's government.

Qin Shou didn't have the title of brother on the shelf, and in less than half an hour, he was familiar with these soldiers guarding the city, including the soldiers who were resting at night, and the new master was familiar.

Most of these guards are from the villages outside the city, they are all very simple people, every time the official office comes, they are superior, but Qin Shou is special outside the column and call them brothers, and win the frank love of these guards of the city.

After half an hour of understanding, Xiao Zhang found that the master in front of him was very kind and easy-going, and he had no scruples and doubts: "Master, are you really sent by Lord Zhizhou to guard the city gate?" ”

Qin Shou sighed lightly with a sad face and said, "Do you have a meal to lie?" Xiao Bantou, has there been anything unusual recently? ”

Xiao Bantou didn't get to the bottom of it, and pondered the meaning of Qin Shou's words and asked, "Abnormal?" Master Qin, what do you mean by abnormality? ”

Qin Shou, who had Wu Daodao's secret order, said inconveniently and vaguely: "Is there any suspicious vehicle entering the city, such as the wheel hub is very heavy-loaded, and the personnel are relatively fresh-faced?" ”

Xiao Zhang's face was strange, and he couldn't understand Qin Shou's intentions and said, "This, Master Qin, most of the people who entered the city were caravans going north, and almost all of them were fresh faces. ”

Knowing that he had asked a very idiotic question, Qin Shou rubbed his forehead with a headache and said, "Well, recently, I have ordered my brothers to keep an eye on the convoy that entered the city, and if there is anything suspicious, carefully search and report it, if it is convenient, send someone to find a few dogs to come back." ”

Xiao Zhang didn't ask much about the reason, hugged his fists and said, "Yes, Master Qin, it's windy here, why don't you go to the city tower to rest?" ”

Qin Shou stopped and thanked Xiao Zhang's kindness and said, "No, I still have to wander around, familiarize yourself with the surroundings, you go and get busy." ”

Xiao Zhang scratched his head and couldn't guess Qin Shou's intentions, hugged his fists and left, according to Qin Shou's instructions, told the soldiers guarding the city to pay more attention to the caravan entering the city, and after explaining, he personally ran to find the dog that Qin Shou ordered to find.

Wu Daodao, Wu Daodao, you really give me an errand, such a dangerous thing, you can't find a professional?

Looking at the endless crowd of people coming in and out of the city tower on the steps of the city tower, Qin Shou had a depressed face Wu Daode really knew how to give errands, and he didn't know that he had received the news that there were any Holy Lotus Sect traitors disguised into the city, and a large number of weapons would be transported into the city through the caravan disguise, ready to make trouble in Jinling or something.

At first, Qin Shou felt that Wu Daode was just a reckless martial artist, but after the morning's events and his wise arrangement, Qin Shou suddenly discovered that Wu Daode was very hidden, a typical old oilman who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, and was actually deceived by his appearance and underestimated him too much.

Isn't this guy tracking down the eunuch's theft of the treasure? How did you implicate the Holy Lotus Sect? Qin Shou, who was puzzled, was puzzled, and suddenly felt that the seemingly calm Jinling seemed to be about to come in a storm......
