With a long sword in hand, one of the guards said, "Be on guard and protect your son!" ”

The other responded, carrying a sword and searching around the courtyard, looking for uninvited guests who might have been missed!

"Don't be nervous!" The guards were tense, but Yuan Xu said: "This person is very skilled, you are not his opponent!" ”

"If he had the intention of harming someone, he would have done it a long time ago!" Walking to the door, Yuan Xu said lightly: "Let's go back and rest!" I have to take over the county soldiers early tomorrow morning! ”

The guards blushed at what he said, and they all put away their swords.

Bear the rules of protection, but be told that it is not a thief's opponent, and it must be unpleasant to put it on anyone!

As Yuan Xu expected, the black shadow left over the wall, and there was no abnormal movement all night.

The night passed in fear, and it was not until dawn that the guards fell asleep.

As soon as I fell asleep, Xiao Zhu's shouting came from outside the door.

"This kid, what's the fuss about early in the morning?" A guard rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered, "He slept deeply, and the thieves didn't wake up." ”

"What are you doing with a fool?" The other guard rolled over and muttered, "Sleepy......"

"Get up and go to the barracks with so-and-so!" As soon as the guard who sat up lay down, Yuan Xu's shout came from outside.

The sleepy minds swelled, and the guards fought hard to get up.

Wearing heavy armor, Yuan Xu was already standing in the courtyard.

"Beaten by a ghost in the middle of the night?" Before the guards went out, Yuan Xu asked, "Why do they all have dark circles under their eyes?" ”

"Although Childe is safe, we are not at ease!" One of the guards said bitterly: "I haven't slept all night......"

"You don't have to wait, take Xiao Zhu and Nian'er with you!"

"How can there be any reason to let a fool and a woman accompany him to the barracks?"

As soon as the guard who answered the call finished speaking, Xiao Zhu wrinkled his nose at him: "You are a fool!" ”

Glaring at Xiao Zhu, the guard raised his fist.

Xiao Zhu straightened his chest, but the guard wilted.

Hundreds of pounds of big stones are carried and thrown as if they were playing, if they really fight, they won't be smashed into meatloaf by him with a punch?

"Don't make trouble, it's important to suppress thieves, if you still have the spirit, go to the barracks with so-and-so!" Throwing down a sentence, Yuan Xu turned around and left.

"Childe!" The guard and Xiao Zhu followed him and were about to leave, when Nian'er ran out of the room.

Holding a cloak, when Yuan Xu approached, she lowered her head and said, "The weather is still cold, don't catch a cold!" ”

The girl's family is really careful!

Smiling, Yuan Xu said, "Thank you!" ”

"The slave and maid are subordinates, and they deserve to be thanked!" With her head down, Nian'er's voice was as small as a mosquito humming.

Taking the cloak, Yuan Xu put it on his body, and Nian'er stepped forward to tie the strap for him.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he nodded to Nian'er, and Yuan Xu led the guards and Xiao Zhu out of the courtyard.

Looking at their backs, it was not until they disappeared from sight that Nian'er looked at the courtyard wall where dark shadows appeared at night.

With a leisurely sigh, she turned and returned to the house.

Leaving the residence, Yuan Xu and the others walked along the bluestone road to the outer courtyard.

He hadn't gone far when he heard a woman's silver bell-like laughter not far away.

Following the laughter, he saw several women in brocade clothes playing around a swing!

Yuan Xu lived in Dong's house, it can be said that there are more outsiders, these women not only do not shy away, but go out to play unscrupulously.

In just an instant, Yuan Xu understood what was going on.

It must have been Dong He's special arrangement to tell his granddaughter to stay in the neighborhood more and find an opportunity to get close to him.

He had no doubt that as long as he passed, he would be able to mingle with the woman immediately.

However, Yuan Xu didn't have that kind of mind!

He didn't linger at all, and walked straight over.

The woman on the swing saw him walking away, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her pretty face showed a touch of unhappiness.

Of the five or six women who were playing, she was the first in terms of appearance.

"This person is also rude!" After getting off the swing, the woman said, "My sisters and I have the intention to get acquainted at the order of my grandfather, but he doesn't care about it, just who he is?" ”

"What Sister Qing'er said is that you have to find a way to rectify him in the end!" The youngest woman echoed and said, "I also want him to know what we and other sisters do!" ”

"Sisters!" Rolling his eyes, Dong Qing said to several women: "Grandfather sent Nian'er to him as a servant, you wait for the maids around you, are there any who are familiar with Nian'er?" ”

Several women were at a loss, and the eldest asked, "What is Sister Qing'er going to do?" ”

"Nian'er is by his side, but he can be rectified." The little mouth was pursed, and Dong Qing said: "I also want him to know that we are not easy to bully!" ”

"Don't do it!" The eldest woman hesitated: "Grandfather is very respectful to him, in case he ......"

"If you really ask, we just have to deny it!" Dong Qing said nonchalantly: "If you are afraid, you just have to watch from the side!" ”

The county military camp is in the southern corner of the city.

Leaving Dong's house, you have to walk three or four streets to get there.

Walking on the bluestone road on horseback, Yuan Xu kept greeting pedestrians, as if he was very familiar with the people in the city.

The afternoon before he went to Dong's house, and he did the same along the way.

Just one night, Shangcai City spread the news that the new county lieutenant had moved into Dong He's house.

With this layer, of course, pedestrians will not have the slightest respect for him.

Although he didn't throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at him, it was impossible for anyone to give him a gift in return.

On the street outside Dong's house, the young man who had spat at him happened to be there.

Seeing him marching in the direction of the barracks, the young man subconsciously put his hand into his arms.

The middle-aged man on the side hurriedly grabbed his wrist and shook his head at him.

Seeing Yuan Xu and the others walk away, the young man whispered: "They are going to the barracks......"

"It's just more than 70 county soldiers!" The middle-aged man was obviously not as nervous as the teenager, and said in a low voice: "Wait and see, rest assured!" ”

Looking at the middle-aged man suspiciously, the young man took his hand out of his arms.

Of course, Yuan Xu didn't find these two people.

Just like the first day, he was triumphantly greeting passers-by all the way.

greeted all the way, not only did no one return the salute, but in exchange for a whispered abuse.

The people of Shangcai have long hated officials and rich gentry.

If you get too close to Dong He, of course you won't get a good reputation!

The voice of the abuse was very small, and Yuan Xu was not easy to hear.

Even if he hears a sentence or two once in a while, he doesn't mind!

Not far from the barracks, a young man wearing a blue official uniform appeared on the road ahead.

The young officer was tall and tall, standing in the middle of the road, like a straight and upright stake.

His face was thin, and his sharp gaze swept over Yuan Xu, revealing his uprightness!

"Why is Your Excellency in your way?" Restraining the horse, Yuan Xu arched his hand and asked indifferently.

"In Xia Jiang Yin, I have been waiting for the county lieutenant for a long time!" The young officer returned the salute.
