In the city where Ivan was staying at this time, the beggars in the surrounding area were the beggars who lived in all corners of the city.

As long as they are a normal person, as long as they see them, whether they are dressed or talking, it shows that they are at the bottom of the crowd.

Even if they have lived in this frontier for a long time, they can't change their temperament, let alone the status quo.

Even if there is a yamen and a patrol to take care of it, it does not mean that it is necessarily a safe place, or even the complete opposite.

The more crowded the place, the more likely it is to have all kinds of dangerous things, mainly people who make the scene dangerous.

To take the simplest example, let's say in prison. If the door is opened to those murderers, rapists, and death row prisoners, it must be a battle of death. And in this border area, that's pretty much it, only more relaxed.

There is not even a gate, but the gate is also close at hand, and as long as anyone dares to break the law, they will soon be in a real prison.

After a long time, even those who have intentions will develop a habit in this border land, and that is to restrain themselves.

In this frontier land, there is another law that prevents them from rebelling, and that is that those with supreme power can kill people.

It's just that there are restrictions on the people you kill, but no one can control them when you kill them, which is the invisible deterrent power of this kind of people.

Of course, when the first emperor formulated this regulation, he also went through comprehensive consideration, and such people were all from the imperial city.

That is, in the Imperial City, or even in the Imperial Palace, only those who have more than ten years of experience as assassins or secret guards are eligible.

After years of training, they have been loyal to the first emperor and the imperial city, and no matter where they are, they are the executors of the first emperor's orders.

It is also a sanction for those who violate and are not afraid of death, who often kill people invisibly, and it is even difficult to be detected.

Every year, the Emperor sent several of these masters, and in the various border cities, they were the leaders who finally deterred the criminals.

It's just that these assassins and secret guards, who have lived in the imperial city for many years, have long been lone rangers, and they don't have any dealings with people at all.

This also leads to the fact that most border cities are basically only equipped with one of these people, and if there are more, they are likely to hurt each other.

They are the ones who really protect the security of the border city, but even the prince, few can know this secret.

This includes the second prince, the seventh prince, the tenth prince, and even Ivan, who only realized later why the border was safe.

And the city where Ivan is located naturally has the existence of such a guardian spirit, and the secret guards have discovered him since Ivan entered the city.

It's just that because of his identity as a secret guard and Ivan's status as a prince, this secret guard can only observe and protect Ivan in secret.

It wasn't until many days later that the dark guard found that Ivan had come to visit the city and play in the mountains and rivers, and then he relaxed.

You must know that compared to protecting the city, protecting the prince is obviously much more important, and protecting the city is just a matter of public security.

If the enemy army comes to attack this city, the secret guard will naturally not stay for long, covering the retreat of the people while protecting their own safety. Every secret guard knows that his life must be much more important than that of the people, and he must give up what he should give up.

But the princes are different, the number of princes is limited, and they all have the possibility of becoming the next king, and the first emperor has already given orders.

As long as there is a trace of the prince anywhere, except for the person who followed a certain prince, everyone else is concerned about the prince's life.

It can be regarded as the foresight of the first emperor, if a prince inadvertently walked to the border, no one protected him, and he was killed.

That was simply the biggest loss for the royal family, and it was unclear, which also raised the status of the assassins and dark guards in the imperial city.

The secret guard of the border where Ivan is located, long before he came, had already connected all the local beggars to form an eyeliner.

It was the dark web that Ivan had been shocked about before, that is, the beggar gang, which seemed to be unmanaged, but in fact, the managers were hidden in the crowd.

These beggars, who have lived in the local area for many years and have been begging for many years, are well aware of the risks on the streets of this border.

It's still quite easy for some things to kill people for money, but after all, they are just bystanders, and there are judges who will carry out the trial.

I have never eaten pork, I have always seen pigs run, and the same is true of murders, and I have seen it myself for a long time, and the beggars have gradually become fiery eyes. Be able to perceive and analyze the person in front of him, what kind of person he is and whether he has other motives.

These are all things that we take for granted and become natural, just need to look at what passers-by are wearing, and how they talk.

Beggars can distinguish the least good from the bad on the surface, but the distinction is not very useful, not very accurate.

It's more about whether you can find out from their faces and words whether these people are hiding anything or what they are evading.

Or there is something deeper, and these beggars are not so much beggars as they are Bole, good at finding details.

From each other's words, they can roughly see through a person's nature, and they are very good at the level of seeing people, and practice makes perfect.

However, the status is too humble, and this does not have much substantive effect, so if you can't take it to the table, you can only beg.

But for Ivan, this is simply the right place at the right time, and he and Yao Qiao have discovered this.

This may seem to outsiders to be just a trivial point, but for Ivan, it is as easy and convenient as a tiger with wings. It seems that Ivan already has a layer of armor like a dark guard, and more protective measures have been taken.

It is only necessary for these beggars to look at the people, the people who enter and leave the city, and especially the people who come to the city from the direction of the imperial city.

There are a few people who correspond to the import and export exchanges, and some of them are very abnormal people at first glance, and there are ghosts in their eyes.

That's the people who need to pay more attention and keep an eye on it, they can easily know who they are, and each has its own way of comparison.

And when the beggars know the general situation, they will secretly wake up, and then quickly pass the news to Ivan.

Let Ivan have a bottom in his heart, and his secret guards are naturally able to have a first-hand preparation and backhand measures accordingly.

Even among the few assassins who came before, before they left the Imperial City, they were still called brothers to each other with Ivan's secret guards.

But when you go out of the city gate, that is when the soldiers are outside, and you can't care about your feelings anymore. The prince was targeted by his side, and he also had to be killed.

There is no need to hesitate, and the big picture must be taken into account, even if they have their own reasons and other difficulties that are difficult to explain.

In the end, it can only end up with a dead word, even if I have looked at each other and been curious.
