Chapter 9: Captain of the Guard
The next morning, Sikong Qiang got up early in the morning, and after a simple wash, Sikong Qiang asked the path of the Shop Xiaoer City Lord's Mansion and set off.
Sikong Qiang walked towards the City Lord's Mansion after passing through the empty street, the City Lord's Mansion was in the northeast direction of Beach, Sikong Qiang walked for a while and arrived, and there were two guards guarding the door.
Sikong Qiang went over to explain his intentions, and one of the guards thought for a while and said, "There is really something important to talk about the city lord:" The other guard said: "I think he seems to be true, or go and report it?" With that, a guard went into the city lord's mansion.
After a while, a middle-aged man in a coat came, who looked more decent, and came over and said, "Who has something important to see the city lord?"
Sikong Qiang hurriedly went over and said, "It's me, my name is Sikong Qiang, may I ask who you are?" The middle-aged man said: "I am the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, surnamed Zhai" Sikong Qiang said: "Steward Zhai, hello, I know the city lord's daughter Rou'er." Steward Zhai said, "Oh, then you can tell me."
The two of them walked forward together, and entered a gate through a courtyard with a banana tree at the door, and a gilded character was written on the door: "City Lord's Mansion" Sikong Qiang and Steward Zhai stepped in.
I saw that it was a hall, the hall was very spacious, and in the middle of it was a man in his 50s sitting on a large chair, his eyes were shining, and he looked very shrewd and capable.
Seeing this person, Steward Zhai hurriedly introduced: "This is the Gu City Lord of Beach City" and said to the city lord: "City Lord, this is called Sikong Qiang, he said that he had something important to tell the city lord, and he said that he knew Miss."
When the city lord Gu heard this, he had a smile on his face, and said with a pleasant face: "May I ask how the little brother knows the little girl" Sikong Qiang briefly said the events of that day.
Gu City Lord was overjoyed, and arched his hand: "It turns out that the strong man is a senior disciple of the Venerable Treading Clouds, fortunately, I will be lucky!" Little girl, I have been recommended by your master, I have worshipped Master Tianhong as my teacher, and now I am practicing spells? I'll call her here, and you'll see her, okay?"
Sikong Qiang said happily: "Okay, I haven't seen Rou'er for a long time, it's just right!"
Gu City Lord said to Steward Zhai: "Tell Miss, Sikong Shaoxia is here" Steward Zhai went.
City Lord Gu said to Sikong Qiang: "Young Xia, what is the matter?" Sikong Qiang told in detail what he saw and heard in the king's mausoleum.
City Lord Gu was shocked and said, "Are you saying that someone has possessed the half-orc king, intending to attack Beechy and then unify the Marfa continent. The stakes are high, but are you sure?"
Sikong Qiang Zhengse said: "This matter is true, the younger grandfather was injured by the orc and died, I hope the city lord will prepare early, otherwise, Beechy is in danger!" The people are facing another catastrophe!"
City Lord Gu thought for a while and said, "Possessed? Could it be Akatsuki?" Sikong Qiang asked, "May I ask the city lord?" Who is Akatsuki?"
Gu City Lord said: "This matter is a long story, that Chiyue was born on the border of the Shenlong Empire, he is a rare genius in a hundred years, by chance, he learned peerless martial arts, and since then he has traveled everywhere in the Marfa Continent, and has been chivalrous and righteous everywhere, and since then his reputation has spread far and wide, and the people of the entire Marfa Continent think that he is a hero of the world, and he became famous earlier than the three heroes."
City Lord Gu paused for a moment and continued: "Later, the three heroes rose, that Akatsuki liked to pursue the most powerful power in his life, and Akatsuki had almost no opponents in the Marfa Continent, so he found the Tianzun of the three heroes and competed with him, who knew that the contest failed. So he entered the Fangshi Academy founded by Tianzun, and after studying for 3 years, he actually challenged Tianzun again, who knew that he failed again, and he disappeared after hearing that he failed, and there has been no news of him since."
"Now that Akatsuki has reappeared, and is possessed by the half-orc king, could it be that he has learned the demon technique?"
Sikong Qiang asked, "Demon Exercises?" Gu City Lord said: "Yes, this kind of demon clan technique is very domineering, it can possess others with its soul, so that it has the power of the possessed person, and even if the possessed person is defeated, as long as his soul is not destroyed, he will not die, and he can also possess another person again in the soul posture, so it is almost immortal!"
Sikong Qiang said in horror: "I didn't expect there to be such a powerful magic skill in this world?"
Gu City Lord thought for a while: "Shaoxia, it's better to be like this, if it's really as Shaoxia said, then our strength is not enough to defeat the half-orcs, but we also have to make all preparations, I will send a hero post, invite the three heroes and your master and Rainbow Mage and others to help, in addition, I want to invite to be my Beechcraft's guard captain to help the guards learn skills to resist the attack of the half-orcs, in addition, I issued a notice to start training soldiers, strengthen the city defense, and recruit soldiers. What do you think?"
Sikong Qiang thought about it, there is nowhere to go now, and it is also appropriate to do his part to defend Beechcraft, thinking of this, he resolutely surrendered his hand and said: "I am willing to serve to protect Beechcraft!"
City Lord Gu was very happy, turned around and took out a bronze medal from a wooden box, handed it to Sikong Qiang and said, "This bronze medal is the certificate of the captain of the guard, you can enter and leave the City Lord's Mansion at any time in the future." Sikong Qiang took it and then hugged his fists and saluted.
As the two were talking, a voice came: "Brother Sikong is here" I saw a girl in a white shirt walking in small steps, only to see her cherry mouth and small waist, very delicate and cute.
Sikong Qiang hurriedly clenched his fists: "Rou'er, how are you doing?" Na Rou'er said happily: "Since Brother Sikong saved Rou'er and thanks to the introduction of Venerable Tayun, I have learned a lot of spells from Master Rainbow, such as big fireballs, burst flames, thunderbolts, wall of fire, flash movies, etc., after learning for a few years, Master Rainbow asked me to go out to practice, but there are too many spells to learn, so I often practice it every day."
Gu Cheng's master Gu was angry and said, "Why did you forget your father when you saw Sikong Shaoxia?" Said Rou'er coquettishly threw herself into the arms of the city lord Gu, and smiled embarrassedly.
Seeing this, City Lord Gu hurriedly coaxed Rou'er to let her stand aside, and then said to Sikong Qiang: "Where is Shaoxia from?" Sikong Qiang roughly told him about his life experience. City Lord Gu nodded again and again and said: "Beechy and even the entire Marfa Continent may face a bloody storm, my old bones don't matter, but Sikong Shaoxia hopes to take care of Rou'er more in the future!" After speaking, he bowed to Sikong Qiang.
Sikong Qiang hurriedly helped him up and said solemnly: "The younger generation must be duty-bound!" City Lord Gu was very excited! He said, "You and I hit it off at first sight, why don't you have dinner at my house tonight?" Let's talk slowly."
Sikong Qiang was very affectionate, so he agreed. Sikong Qiang said goodbye to Rou'er and the city lord, led by Steward Zhai to go through the relevant procedures, and inspected the city lord's guard, it turned out that the city lord's guard had 3,000 people, which were composed of the big sword guard, the bow guard and the scout guard.
Sikong Qiang came to the Captain's Mansion and went to the street to buy some daily necessities, and when it was almost evening, Steward Zhai came to invite Sikong Qiang to the City Lord's Mansion for a banquet, Sikong Qiang came to the City Lord's Mansion and Gu City Lord, Rou'er and the City Lord's wife together, the banquet was staggered, and they talked very happily, and discussed that after the three heroes and the Venerable Tayun and the Rainbow Mage came, a meeting was held to discuss how to deal with the attack of the half-orcs.
