Chapter 104: One Year The Beginning of the Plot
(Go ahead and revise it)
In front of the gate of the imperial capital, several members of the garrison wearing white garrison uniforms who were patrolling and squatting were yawning listlessly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The eyes of several people have been looking at the pedestrians who have just entered the city, as if they are looking for some target.
"Hey~ How many months have you been here?
I really don't know why the captain cares so much about those three unknown little ghosts.
I've been here for so long, and I haven't heard of any relatives or friends from the captain. A middle-aged member of the garrison with a fierce face, after glancing at the passers-by, began to yawn boredly.
"I said, Uncle Hal, can you be serious.
If we accidentally miss the target, we will definitely be scolded to death by the captain when we go back. A young man of the garrison complained very dissatisfiedly to the man named Hal.
Hal waved his hand indifferently: "Isn't there still you, with you staring, I don't worry."
Hey~ This kind of day, when will it come to an end! ”
"Here we go again, can't you complain less?
The captain must have a reason for doing this, have you ever seen the captain unreliable?
This task is also a shift system, and there are not only a few of us who carry out the task.
Didn't there be other brothers at the other gates where they were squatting?
In my opinion, this task is much easier than patrolling the city and 'collecting money' from the merchants.
Besides, if you really don't want to come, you can have someone replace you. Seeing that Hal began to sigh again, the young man couldn't help but helplessly hold his forehead.
However, when he mentioned their captain, the members of the garrison present all showed admiration without exception.
"I said little Nathan, I know what you said.
As for the substitute...... If I can find someone to replace me, do you think I'll come over?
When I thought that I couldn't go to those traitors in person today and exploit them ruthlessly, my heart was unhappy for a while.
And that guy from Bacchus was able to exploit the lovely little gold coins that were shining and shiny from those profiteers.
My heart ...... Ouch, my heart hurts for a while! Speaking of truth, Hal clutched his heart in pain.
This guy pretended to be like this, which made his companions around him even more speechless.
However, they who know Hal's personality also know that this guy's old mistake has been made again.
Generally, they will choose to ignore such a situation.
But Nathan couldn't help but mutter: "Isn't it the same for whoever takes those gold coins, anyway, they all have to be handed over to the captain when they come back in the end." ”
"You little fellow know what, even if those gold coins have to be handed over to the captain in the end.
At least I can keep them warm in my arms for a while before I give them to the captain. Although both Hal and Nathan were talking about handing over the gold coins they had exploited from the merchants.
But the two of them did not have the slightest unhappy mood, and even Ha'er, who seemed to be greedy for money, had a natural expression.
"Speaking of gold, I don't think it's worth it for the captain.
The captain obviously did so much for the people in secret, but in the end he didn't get a good reputation.
Instead, he was rumored to be a lackey of the minister...... Not! Nathan had barely said a few words when his companion next to him covered his mouth.
The companion who covered his mouth and several other members of the guard team all glanced around nervously.
After making sure that no one had heard what Nathan had said, the guys finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You don't want to die! You can say these things in private, to us, even in front of the captain.
But this is the street, and if these words accidentally reach the ears of others, guess what will happen! The member of the guard who covered Nathan's mouth scolded in a low voice.
Nathan also knew that he was almost in trouble, and scratched his head in shame, Nathan said with some embarrassment: "Brother Milo is really sorry, next time...... Belch...... There will never be a next time! ”
"Alright, that's the end of this topic, let's concentrate on the mission." After such a thing, even Hal, who usually likes to tease, doesn't have the heart to joke anymore.
Seeing this, Nathan and Milo also nodded solemnly.
After a while, even Nathan, who is usually more patient, couldn't help but start to feel a little bored.
A man and a woman who had just entered the crowd caught his attention.
"Uncle Hal and Boss Milo, look, those two people are not the target we have to wait for!" Nathan pointed to a man and a woman walking from outside the city, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes.
When Hal and Milo heard this, they immediately perked up and looked in the direction Nathan was pointing.
After pulling out a few portraits, he compared them with the two men.
Milo also nodded: "The portrait between the two and the captain has seven layers of similarities, and it shouldn't be wrong."
But the captain gave us three people, and now there are only two.
I don't know if something happened to me? ”
"Well, I said what you want to know, go up and ask them.
Guess here, there's a fart.
Damn, in order to wait for these little guys.
For the past few months, I have been coming to squat every few days.
Well, now the hard days are finally over. With that, Hal smiled and walked towards his target.
However, his face was full of flesh and a grit with a terrifying knife mark, no matter how you look at it, it is a little hideous.
As he walked towards his target with a smile on his face, his outfit matched his smile.
It is enough to make pedestrians on the road avoid it.
"Hey, those two imps in front, please wait a minute." Hal spoke to the two in front of him.
"Ugh! That one...... Are you calling us, my lord? A young man wearing a white turban on his forehead in front of Hal asked with a reluctant expression when he saw Hal standing in front of them.
However, even though the young man was a little afraid of Hal, he did not forget to pull his female companion behind him without leaving a trace.
The young man's movements happened to fall in Hal's eyes, which also added such a point to Hal's first image of the young man.
"Alright, Howl, don't scare anyone." At this time, Milo and Nathan also walked in front of the two.
While speaking, Milo and the others also secretly looked at the young boys and girls in front of them in the past two years.
Looking at the appearance of the two of them with many wounds on their bodies, Milo knew it.
The two young men and girls were indeed shipwrecked on the way to the imperial capital, as they thought.
"I don't know if they're Iyeas and Sayo." Milo didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"How do you know our names, we don't seem to know anyone in the imperial capital, right?" Iaias had just opened his mouth nervously when he was pulled by the corner of his clothes by Shayo behind him.
When Iaias reacted in hindsight, he already knew that he had accidentally slipped his mouth.
No wonder they're so careful.
Except for the explanation given to them by their village chief when they came out.
What's more, because they encountered too many unpleasant things on the way to the imperial capital, and they were cheated by others too many times, so they had to guard against it.
"Actually, you don't need to be too wary of us, not to mention that our garrison is the security department in the imperial capital.
In this imperial capital alone, no one dares to deal with you wisely.
So put a hundred hearts. Milo also saw the other party's concern.
So he directly gave them a wake-up call and reassured them.
Although Iaias and Sayo had not heard of any garrisons, they had heard that Milo was the department that managed the security of the imperial capital.
In addition, from Milo's appearance and the reactions of the pedestrians around him, it can be seen that Milo is not lying.
"That...... I don't know what the three adults are looking for us? Although he knew Milo's identity, Iyeas asked with some caution.
"It's not that we're looking for you. Forget it, let's not talk about this yet.
If the information we got was correct, you should be three of you, right?
I wonder where another teenager named Tazmi has gone? Milo looked left and right, and determined that their target was only the two of them.
"Tazmi! Hey, do you know Tazmi?
Could it be that the adult is an acquaintance of Tazmi?
No wonder!
It's not right, if Tazmi has acquaintances in the emperor, why don't we know? As he spoke, Iyeas began to struggle again.
On the side, Sha You looked at this guy a little speechlessly.
He took the initiative to explain to Milo: "When we first came out of the village, we were indeed with the three of Tazmi.
But a few days ago, when I was rushing to the imperial capital, I accidentally met a bandit and was scattered by them.
However, before we were scattered by the bandits, we agreed to meet here in the imperial capital.
With Tazmi's martial arts, we believe he won't die so easily.
So I'm sure it won't be long before he comes to us. ”
Milo, Hal and Nathan glanced at each other and shook their heads with a smile: "It's too tender." ”
"Huh? What's too tender? Iyeas and Sayo looked at Milo in bewilderment.
"Naturally, you're too tender.
In just a few words, the information we want is coming out of your mouth.
You're lucky to meet us, otherwise guys like you won't survive for three days when they come here.
Forget it, why do you talk to you so much?
In short, you just need to know that here in the imperial capital, not only is it not a place to get rich, but you can realize the ideal township you can find.
It is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a paradise on earth as a hell that eats people and does not spit out bones.
In the future, you can slowly comprehend these things by yourself.
It won't be long before you'll understand what I mean.
Come, come with us, our captain wants to find you. With that, Hal beckoned a few people and walked towards the base camp of the imperial capital garrison.
"Hey, my lords, wait. You haven't told us who your captain is, and why is he looking for us? ”
"You ask me, how do I know. Before I met you, I thought you were relatives of the captain's family.
Who knows you don't know.
Since it's not your own relatives, is it looking for revenge from you?
It's not like that.
Forget it, whatever. Anyway, just come with me.
See you in the captain's hands, and we'll be able to deal with you.
After working so hard, it's finally over. ”
"Hey! Howl, don't keep scaring people, okay. ”
"That...... Adults, I don't know who your captain is? ”
"Oh! I forgot to tell you, our captain's name is Wei Jun, I don't know if you know each other? ”
