Chapter 5: The Iron Guard
It had been three days since Qi woke up, and the smell of herbs was everywhere. His lower abdomen was covered with layers of white cloth, and the herbs applied to the wound were like a cold little snake, burrowing into his body from the wound, making Qi itchy and painful.
"You're finally awake, don't move, if the sword pierces a little deeper, you'll already be in the ghost country."
A smile appeared on Qi's face, and he secretly said in his heart: "How can you die, Uncle Zhang's kind of person is very upright, and when he sees his performance, he will definitely not kill him." If I hadn't calculated all this, how dare I make a move, and with Jiang Yuan by my side, he would never let himself die. ”
The smile on Kai's face grew even stronger when he thought that everything was going according to his plan. Jiang Yuan should notice him this time, and he can take the next step according to the plan.
As he expected, when he was almost healed from his injuries in half a month, Jiang Yuan summoned him and sat next to Jiang Yuan with the bitter Jiang clan.
Kai saluted respectfully to the two and knelt quietly on the ground.
"Your name is Qi, you did a good job that day, I am going to promote you to the Iron Guard, I don't know what you think?"
Qi's heart trembled, there are four kinds of guards in the world, gold, silver, copper and iron. The Golden Armor Guardian is the guardian of the Son of Heaven, the Silver Family Guardian protects the descendants of the Five Emperors, the Bronze Armor Guardian protects the lord of the country, and the Iron Armor Guardian guards are the city lords of various countries.
"Thank you for the city lord's appreciation, Qi Xiu is shallow, worried that he will not be competent, Qi is only willing to guard by his wife's side."
Hearing Qi say this, Ku Jiang's face was full of smiles, and then explained: "Qi, even if you become an ironclad guard, you can protect me." ”
"The little one knows, and the little one must be loyal and repay the city lord's appreciation."
Jiang Yuan nodded, and then let Qi leave, Qi returned to the mansion and casually packed his luggage. He didn't have any luggage, just a dress and a quilt, so it can be said that his family was surrounded by four walls.
He entered the City Lord's Mansion and came to a small courtyard where four guards lived.
Because Taoze City is a small city, the city lord only has twenty ironclad guards, and five people are in small groups, taking turns on duty.
When Kai arrived, he looked at the four guards sleeping in the room, quietly made the beds, and then threw them on the ground, and the clothes that were already full of sweat were packed up, and then took them to be washed.
By the time the four guards woke up, Kai was already drying their clothes.
"Big brother, I didn't expect that we would have a little lady here, but unfortunately this little lady is not very beautiful."
"Song San, don't make trouble, this is a person from the Kujiang family, don't mess with him if you have nothing to do."
The one called the eldest brother scolded Song San, and Song San also knew about the bitter Jiang family, so he immediately restrained his expression and didn't dare to laugh anymore.
The eldest brother walked up to Qi's side, looked at the clean clothes, and helped to dry them.
"Thank you brother for doing my laundry."
"Big brother, you're polite, this is what the younger brother should do, if we can live together, we should help each other, just like a family, how can an elder brother say thank you to his younger brother."
Qi said, bent down to the four and continued: "Little brother Qi, I am new today, and I hope that you brothers will take care of you more in the future." The four of them looked at him like this and couldn't help but have a good impression of him.
In the next month, the four of them were very close to Qi, and the eldest brother named Chen Sheng was like to drink. In the past, his money was generally spent on wine, but after Qi arrived, he bought wine for Chen Sheng every three or five days, and it was not to buy Tao Ze's wine, but the wine inside and outside the Great Wilderness, Qi had a way to get a little bit. Let Chen Sheng drink a lot.
And the second child is called Zhou Ji, he likes to play chess, but playing chess outside is almost a loss and a win, because he has studied in school, he often instructs, Zhou Ji is not stupid, and the draws are gradually increasing.
As for Song San, he likes to look for flowers and ask willows, and every time a foreign woman comes here, Qi will tell Song San which woman is the best, so that Song San, a self-proclaimed veteran of the flower bush, is also willing to bow down.
As for the fourth uncle, he didn't have any special habits, but the year before last, he protected the city lord and hit the other party's ice arrow. The fire attribute exercises he practiced, every time he had an attack of arrow poison, he was worse than dead, and after the revelation arrived, when he had an attack of arrow poison, he used his skills to suppress the water poison for him, which made Uncle Cao very moved. This kind of luck helps others heal their injuries, and it consumes the most true yuan.
It is also because of this reason that even if he cultivates hard every day, he will still be in the adult position for five years.
On the first day of the new year, he began to send Yulu, and Kai also got a foot-long meat and three hundred shells, and he asked the kitchen to make the meat into porridge, and then left the city lord's mansion by himself. When I came to the northwest corner of the city again, and when I saw him coming, a group of children gathered around, and one child took a bottle of wine and handed it to Kai.
"Qi, this is the bamboo leaf green refined by the Junzi Kingdom, three shells, your remaining two shells, I helped Uncle Zhou buy a little millet."
"Kai, this is the Haidong Pearl bought by the Dragon Clan merchant, ten shells, and this is the remaining five shells."
"Kai, three days later, a black-toothed country came, and I heard that they had a good product, and they asked for thirteen shells in one night. However, I heard that they want the obscurations of the kingdom of adults, and in addition to being able to exchange for this woman, they can also get their treasures. As for what the treasure is, we don't know. ”
Qi listened to them report the information they needed, smiled slightly and took out two hundred shells, and then asked them to buy the items they needed, and then took out fifty shells again and handed them to a relatively large person, and said to him: "If there is no food in any house, you can take it to buy something." ”
After the explanation, he began to assist the old wounded soldiers in treating their injuries. In this way, at ten o'clock in the afternoon, he took Hai Dongzhu and arrived at Uncle Ku's mansion. The doorman didn't stop him, and Qijing went to the back garden, where Ku Jiang was feeding the fish, and when he saw him come in, he asked with a smile: "Qi, you are here." ”
Qi knelt on the ground, saluted and said: "Today, I saw the merchants of the dragon clan in the market, and saw that they were selling Haidong pearls, and saw that this pearl was very beautiful, so I bought one, hoping that my wife would like it." ”
Qi said, took out the wooden box, took out Hai Dongzhu, and handed it over. The maid took the wooden box, Ku Jiang opened it, and found that there was a round pearl inside, she threw it in the pond casually, only to see that as soon as the pearl met the water, it appeared with colorful light, and the pool water was dyed with five colors, which was indescribably beautiful.
The bitter Jiang clan looked at the brilliant light and said to Qi: "You really have a heart, it's a pity that you haven't been in the Iron Armor Guard for a long time, otherwise I will definitely let my brother arrange for you to become the commander." ”
"To be able to become an ironclad guard, the little one is already very content. The little one knows what he is capable of, and that's how it is. ”
Qi said goodbye, when he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, the kitchen was ready, looking at Qi's arrival, the chef smiled and said, "Qi, you are here." ”
"Ku Ding, don't worry, I will definitely bring Houttuynia to you next time."
"Kai, I don't have to worry about you doing things, but I have a little thing at home. You know, my money is no more than ten shells. ”
"It's okay, I'll give it to you, between us, why be so polite, don't you know that your family is serious?"
"Alas, my brother is married, and now there is still a pair of geese missing."
"This is two shells, you can take it to buy wild geese, the marriage is a big event, and it can't be delayed."
Ku Ding hurriedly said thank you, and Qi returned to the room with the food he had made, a piece of meat, three stir-fried dishes, and a pot of vegetable soup.
Looking at such a sumptuous dish, Chen Sheng and the others were a little embarrassed.
"Kai, you take care of us so much, why are we embarrassed?"
"Big brother, I said that we live together and are all a family, so why be so polite? Come on, let's eat, by the way, this is bamboo leaf green, which is refined by the Junzi Kingdom, big brother try it. ”
Qi took out the wine and food, everyone ate happily, and after eating, Chen Sheng said drunkenly: "Qi, you are really a good person, you brother, I have recognized it in my life." ”
The other three people all agreed, and seeing that the four Supreme Iron Guards recognized him, Kai took a sip of soup gently, and the smile on his face became even thicker.
