It is said that Ruixue is a good year, however, this year's winter is exceptionally cold, cold to the bone marrow, cold is abnormal and weird, and people don't want to move their nests at all.

There were scattered pedestrians on the street, and on a street not far from the palace, two passers-by walking side by side curled up their bodies, drooping their heads, facing the wind and snow, walking with difficulty, grumbling from time to time, and discussing: "Damn, this year's winter is so cold, I wear two cotton clothes, and I still feel cold and piercing, and my hands and feet are cold." ”

"Who's to say it isn't? Oh my God, I haven't seen such a big snow or such cold weather for decades, it's really evil! The other man lifted his dogskin hat and dusted off the snow on it, and his voice trembled a little as he breathed hot.

At this moment, one of the two people who were walking and talking suddenly stopped, pointed not far ahead, in the midst of the heavy snow, and exclaimed: "Hey, look, the person in front!" ”

The other person also stopped, raised his head slightly, squinted his eyes, and exclaimed, "Damn, this guy is too manly!" In the winter, in such a cold weather, I wear so many clothes, I don't even have a padded jacket, and I am not afraid of freezing to death on the road! ”

The man had already woken up from his surprise, blinked his eyes, stared at him, looked at it carefully, and then said: "No wonder I wore so little, it turned out to be a disaster victim who fled to the capital, and it seems that it is difficult to survive today." ”

"Hey, look, that strange old man walked towards the palace, either there is a problem with his head, or the identity of that strange old man is not simple." The other exclaimed again!

Immediately, the person who first found the strange old man gasped, watching the strange old man move forward with difficulty, getting closer and closer to the palace, as if he thought of something, and immediately said: "I said brother, let's leave this place quickly, if something happens, it is also a royal matter, just a little bit of impact, and it is not something that we ordinary people can afford~!" ”

"Yes, yes, hurry up, more is better than less!" The other chimed in, a little nervous.

The two pedestrians hurried along, ran quickly, and never looked at the strange old man again, and left as if they were running away, afraid that they would be a step too late.

At this time, the strange old man struggled to move forward, his whole body was covered with snowflakes, almost a snowman, trembling, walking with difficulty, the whole person seemed to lose consciousness, walking unconsciously.

The hair was disheveled, the braids had long been gone, the eyes were dull and silent, and he was hunched up, walking towards the palace gate persistently, his teeth creaking, and his lips were purple from the cold.

On the thick snow, the footprints were so obvious, they seemed so lonely and abrupt, and the old man was still approaching the palace gate, without the slightest fear.

The Praetorian Guards guarding the palace gate had already discovered this strange old man, looking at the ragged strange old man, with a look of disgust, the two Praetorian Guards looked at each other, one of them spat out saliva, and scolded: "Damn, such a cold weather, it's really unlucky, I actually saw a person called Hanako who was going to die!" Day, if he dares to approach the palace gate again, Lao Tzu will kill him! ”

"Hehe, brother, don't be reckless first, ask about the situation and then talk about it, if you make any mess, you and I can't afford to be guilty!" Another Praetorian Guard clipped his weapon under his armpit, rubbed his hands together, and said quickly with hot air in his mouth.

"Don't worry, this strange old man, at first glance, is a homeless person fleeing here, what background can he have? Otherwise, I wouldn't be dressed like this, and sooner or later I would have to freeze to death! The Praetorian Guard took two steps forward, his right hand already on the hilt of the sword, and there was a hint of bloodlust on his face.

The strange old man got closer and closer, as if he didn't hear the Janissaries talking, and he didn't realize the dangerous aura, and he approached little by little.

In anticipation, the strange old man finally came to the palace gate, and before he could speak, the Praetorian Guard had already pulled out the saber on his waist, and with a sigh, the big knife slashed through the void, and instantly stood on the neck of the strange old man, and the Praetorian Guard said even more arrogantly: "Stinky beggar, if you get one step closer to the palace, I will ask for your head!" ”

As he spoke, the saber stepped forward an inch, and the blade was close to the skin of the strange old man, and he only needed to pull it lightly, and he would die with a whimper!

However, this strange old man was like a walking corpse, without the slightest reaction, let alone retreating, facing the reprimand of the Praetorian Guard, he did not have any fear and nervousness, but instead pulled out a hand and stretched it into his arms.

Seeing this, the Praetorian Guard only felt his blood and qi surge, and he had never suffered such humiliation, and in the past, which common man was not afraid of himself? As long as he drew his saber, he could make those ordinary people tremble in their legs, and immediately kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, how dare they look like this?

Contempt, this is naked contempt!

If this contempt came from the emperor and his concubines, or the princes and ministers, the Praetorian Guard could still endure it. However, how could he endure this contempt from a beggar, an inconspicuous man?

In an instant, the Praetorian Guards raised their eyebrows coldly, snorted coldly, raised a kick, and kicked the strange old man away in an instant: "I don't know whether I live or die, I dare to pretend to be an uncle in front of me, looking for death!" ”

A trail of blood spewed out and splattered on the snow, so scarlet and blinding.

The strange old man snorted and fell to the ground, without the slightest sound or movement for a while.

The Praetorian Guard showed a cruel smile, very proud, so that he felt that he had not damaged his name, and dissipated the anger in his chest, and he couldn't help but be afraid of hitting the snowflakes on his body, and he didn't care about the life or death of the strange old man, and the other guards were smiling, only the slightly larger Praetorian Guard showed sympathy on his face, strode over, and walked towards the strange old man who fell to the ground.

The Praetorian Guards, since ancient times, have been guarding the safety of the royal family, during the Qing Dynasty, only the children of the Eight Banners could serve, and the arrogance and arrogance of ordinary times made these Praetorian Guards more unscrupulous, especially for ordinary people. Kill one or two Han people, as long as you work a little bit and make some silver, nothing will happen.

Besides, it was only a beggar who kicked to death?

Just when the older Praetorian Guard was walking, he wanted to see if the strange old man was really dead, the strange old man lying on the ground suddenly moved, and immediately, the Praetorian Guard quickened his pace, seeing this situation, the other Praetorian Guards were very surprised, especially the Praetorian Guard who came out of the foot muttered: "This old boy is really hard, he can't die like this..."

The older Praetorian Guards had already come to the strange old man, squatted down, held him in his arms, dusted off the snowflakes on the strange old man's face, and called softly: "Old man, are you okay?" ”

The strange old man woke up, his breath was a little disordered, his breathing was like nothing, and he was very weak, and when he heard the Praetorian Guard's words of concern, he didn't answer, but stretched out his right hand tremblingly and went into his arms again.

At this moment, the older Praetorian Guards were still puzzled, wondering why the old man had to be so stubborn and stubborn? Despite the doubts in his heart, the Praetorian Guards did not have any obstacles, and let the strange old man take things.

As the strange old man's right hand slowly pulled out, under the snow, the eyes of the janissary shrank sharply, his face showed shock, his head stretched forward suddenly, rubbed his eyes, and after seeing the golden token in the strange old man's hand, there were four big words written on it, "Ru I am here", and he was suddenly shocked, without any hesitation, and turned around and shouted: "Come quickly, carry people in!" ”

Between shouting, the older Praetorian Guards hurriedly took off their cotton clothes, wrapped the strange old man, took the token, and kept shouting: "Come here quickly, go and ask a doctor to come over, if he has three longs and two shorts, none of us want heads!" ”

The Praetorian Guards, who were originally unmoved, were immediately shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly ran over, especially the person who was the first to make trouble for the old man, who ran the fastest, with a look of uneasiness and apprehension.

Soon, the Praetorian Guard, who had been the first to make trouble, came to the front, and there was still a trace of luck in his heart, so he didn't bother the old man, but asked hurriedly and nervously, "Captain, what's wrong?" It's just a beggar..."

Suddenly, Huo De, the leader of the Praetorian Guard, showed the gold medal and reprimanded: "What's wrong? Look at this, what's wrong with you? ”

The golden light flashed, and the four big characters came into view, the Praetorian Guard only felt that the sky was dark, and his legs were weak, at this time, the other Praetorian Guards also saw the token, and did not dare to delay, they took off their robes one after another, wrapped the strange old man, and carried it to the palace gate and corridor together.

The Praetorian Guard knew that he had caused trouble, and it was still a big disaster, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had stabbed the sky. With such a token, it must be someone whom the emperor trusts very much, can a small Praetorian Guard withstand the emperor's wrath?

A string of blood was gradually covered by snowflakes, and the Praetorian Guard's legs seemed to have a thousand pounds of gravity, and every step he took felt so difficult.
