Qi Tian immediately understood that this person was here to relieve himself, although he didn't know why this person did this, but anyway, get rid of the current predicament.

"Lord Gu, you're here, these officials said that the little ones are from the Qi Gate, they don't know the south of the city, and they are not from the imperial capital, woo, woo, woo..."

In the end, he cried aggrievedly.

It's just that the ancient centurion heard the meaning of his words, and turned to the officer and said: "He is a cousin and nephew of mine from afar, and he has only been in the imperial capital for a few days, so it is normal that he doesn't know the road here." ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding guards suddenly relaxed.

"Oh, it turned out to be a relative of the ancient centurion, and I also said that he looked at the eyes, obviously saying that he lived in the south of the city, but he didn't know the south street of the city. The officer took the Pu knife into his arms, "Captain Gucenturion, the Lieutenant's Mansion has ordered that all soldiers and civilians who are not local in the Imperial Capital City will be investigated, it is said that Qi Tian secretly sent the city guards of Yunhai City and the people of Qi Men to make trouble in the Imperial Capital City, Commander Gu Centurion forgive me!"

The officer's tone was a little weird.

Captain Gu didn't speak, and turned to look at Qi Tian, "Don't come with me yet." ”

Qi Tian immediately leaned over and followed the ancient centurion forward.

The two walked for a while, and there were no more guards around, and the ancient centurion spoke: "Are you from Qimen?"

Although Qi Tian didn't know what the ancient centurion had to do with Qi Men, he knew that he had no ill will towards Qi Men, otherwise he wouldn't be able to save himself, so he admitted: "Yes." ”

"What position do you hold in Qimen?" asked the Ancient Centurion continued.

Qi Tian said without hesitation: "I am a squad leader of Qi Gate. ”

Captain Gu Centurion nodded, "The people in the Qi Sect are very respectable. ”

Qi Tian was stunned, and he didn't understand what he meant by this.

'Qi Men generally operate near Yunhai City, so they shouldn't have any interaction with the centurions of the Imperial Capital City?'

"Where are you going?" continued the Ancient Centurion.

Qi Tian thought about it and felt that it was a little unsafe to return to the houses now, after all, there were a large number of city guards everywhere in the city, and if he was not careful, the situation just now would appear.

"Thanks to the ancient centurion for saving my life, I have lost contact with my companions now, and I don't know where to go. ”

Captain Gu Centurion nodded, "In that case, you can go back to the house with me first, now the streets are full of guards, and it is not safe for you to trespass by yourself." ”

"Thank you then. Qi Tian was a little curious about why the ancient centurion cared so much about Qi Men, but he also followed in the direction of his house.

The two walked for a long time, and Qi Tian suddenly felt that the street in front of him was somewhat familiar, as if Lin Guodong had brought him here before.

He looked left and right, looking for some memory.

"The street in front is my house. The ancient centurion said, pointing to a T-junction in front of him.

Qi Tian nodded.

Suddenly, he saw a middle-aged woman with a bloated body but bright eyes, who was arguing with a vendor, as if because the vegetables were not new.

He walked slowly past the middle-aged woman, always feeling that this woman was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

At this point, the ancient centurion turned to another street.

Qi Tian looked at the street in front of him, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he finally remembered where he had seen it!

It was the street in front of Qi Nian's mansion where he was detained before, and the middle-aged woman was also the eldest sister of Lin Guodong who asked about the situation and was "a good teacher"!

Qi Tian glanced at the ancient centurion and said, "I heard that a murder happened here a few nights ago?"

Who knows, when the ancient centurion heard this, he immediately stopped, looked vigilant, stared at Qi Tian, and asked, "How do you know?"

Qi Tian looked at the cold face of the ancient centurion, his heart moved slightly, and he pretended to be timid and said: "Well, a few days ago, I passed by here, and I heard from the people that there was a family that had some entanglements with the gangs in the rivers and lakes, and then they were wiped out by the people in the rivers and lakes at night. ”

His words were half-truths and half-falsehoods, and there was a bit of timid and cowardly look on his face, and he looked really frightened by the ancient centurion.

The ancient centurion stared at him for a long time, and after not finding any flaws, he nodded slowly, "Well, it's true, a group of people from the rivers and lakes sneaked up here." ”

He took Qi Tian by the shoulders and walked quickly to a mansion in the middle of the street.

This mansion looks very large from the outside, and it should be the mansion of a big official, but what is strange is that there should be a family guard in front of a big mansion like this, but this mansion does not.

The ancient centurion pushed the door and entered, and when Qi Tian also came in, he closed the door.

The moment Qi Tian stepped into the door of the mansion, there was a little surprise in his eyes.

Because this mansion is exactly what Lin Guodong said, the mansion where Qi Nian was kidnapped!

He quietly looked at the mansion and said in his heart, "This person shouldn't have anything to do with Qi Nian's kidnapping, right?"

He decided to take this opportunity to secretly observe the ancient centurion, and maybe he could find something interesting.

The ancient centurion's mansion was given to him by the imperial court, and although the courtyard was large, there were no valuables, not even the standard landscape of the mansion such as the pool fountain.

A few pieces of dirt that have not been tended all year round are cluttered with weeds.

And the porch in the courtyard is also in disrepair, the patent leather is upturned, and the corners are covered with moss, which looks sluggish.

'Listening to other people's official titles for him, how can he also be a centurion, being a centurion in the Praetorian Guard is very rich, but this courtyard is too dilapidated, right?' Qi Tian thought to himself.

The two soon came to a dilapidated stone pavilion with a well next to it and a half-man-high pyre.

"Sit here for a while, I'll make you tea, and when my wife comes back, we can eat noodles." The ancient centurion sat directly on the stone bench in the pavilion, and then regardless of the eyes of others, he directly took off the armor on his body and put it on the stone pavilion railing to dry.

Qi Tian was not polite, and sat directly opposite the ancient centurion.

He looked at the stone table in front of him, and there was still a corner missing, obviously it was old.

The ancient centurion found that Qi Tian was looking at the missing corner of the stone table, and said with some embarrassment on his face: "This house has been around for many years, and before the imperial court assigned it to me, there were already several masters. It's just that they haven't lived here much, and when I moved in, it was like this, and I remember when I first moved in, the weeds over there were waist-high. ”

He pointed to a muddy field not far away, "My wife and I cleaned it for five days before we cleaned this mansion on a large scale. ”

Qi Tian was a little puzzled and said: "Although I have been in the imperial capital for a short time, I also know that which general who can be a centurion in the Guards is all brocade clothes and jade food, silk and satin, and there are dozens of maids in the mansion to serve, but you..."

Captain Gu Bai's eyes showed a look of disgust, "Those are all corrupt officials, moths of the empire, how can this official be compared to them! If it weren't for them, how could the empire be bullied by several surrounding empires and have no power to fight back!"

Qi Tian glanced at him and said in his heart, "I didn't expect to meet a clean official with two sleeves and a clean breeze and uprightness!"

Gu Centurion sighed, "Little brother, I won't tell you, although outsiders look at the centurion, although the centurion is beautiful, in fact, we only have ten silver coins a month, in addition to the living expenses of our husband and wife, we also have to support four old people and other relatives from afar, and my wife has to do some sewing work for the neighborhood every month, so that she can support it." ”

Qi Tian was stunned, and then he remembered that the centurion of the city guard army in Yunhai City was also ten silver coins a month, and the centurion like Xiao Xiaobing and Sun Kui was only thirty silver coins a month, and they were not equipped with a mansion yet, but they all seemed to be alive and well...

Suddenly, a strange feeling rose in Qi Tian's heart, and his brows furrowed.

After coming to this era, he only thought about eating, drinking, and having fun, even if he became the city lord of Yunhai City, it was just to fight against the attack of the lion army, and he was always in a state of being in charge.

It seems that his Yunhai City also needs to be rectified, otherwise it may be the second Sunny Empire!

At this time, he suddenly remembered Wang Shouren, who was searching.

It seems that this Qing official is really not good.

The ancient centurion stood up, showed his strong muscles, and fetched water by the well by himself, and then took out a few dry firewood from the pyre next to the stone well, and started a fire to boil the water.

"Little brother, don't be disgusted, my tea here is not very good. ”

He took out a worn-out ceramic tea pot from the pyre, twisted out two small handfuls of tea leaves with his fingers, put them in the teacup on the stone table, and prepared water to boil the tea.

"I'm a rough man, and I like to drink tea here and read the art of war when I have nothing to do. ”

Qi Tian smiled politely, "It's okay, I'm also a rough person, and I don't pay so much attention to it." ”

Soon, the water was boiling, and the ancient centurion filled the two teacups on the stone table with water in a kettle.

Qi Tian blew the smoking teacup and took a sip, it was the most common tree tea in the Sunny Empire, and the poor people generally drank this kind of tea.

He looked at the ancient centurion and unconsciously sighed in his heart.

People are centurions who eat and drink spicy food every day, and there are dozens of people at home to serve, but this ancient centurion, not only the yard is broken, but there is not even a person around to serve him, and his wife has to go out to help the neighbors do work to supplement the family.

He really didn't know what to say.

"By the way, listening to your previous words, it seems that what is the origin of our Qimen?" he decided to find a breakthrough to touch the bottom of the ancient centurion.

Gu Baili was stunned, a little guilty appeared on his face, and he said in a low tone: "You come with me." ”

When the two of them came to a clean room, he pushed open the door and walked straight inside.

Qi Tian glanced around and walked in.

This wing room is not big, and there is no expensive furniture or anything like that, but it is very clean.

In the middle of the house there is a wooden stool with a spirit tablet on it, which seems to be dedicated to relatives.

Qi Tian leaned over to take a look, and there were several big words written on the ranks, "Qimen Fifteen Heroes".

He frowned, puzzled, "This is?"

Gu Baili sighed, "Not long ago, I was ordered to assassinate a political prisoner, but it was only after I went in that I learned that it was the mansion of Qi Tian, the city lord of Yunhai City, that is, the current deputy director of the Procurement Mansion. When I went that day, he happened to be out of the house, and there were only fifteen Qimen guards. Most of our elite team of 100 people suffered casualties before all the fifteen Qimen guards were annihilated. ”

Qi Tian looked shocked, staring at the tablet without blinking, and said in his heart, "Could it be that the person who attacked his mansion that day was the person in front of him, but why did he save himself?"

Captain Gu Bai's expression gradually became distracted at this time, as if he was recalling the battle situation that day, "Those fifteen Qimen guards, each one of them impressed me deeply, and every one of them was a hero! In them, I only saw bravery, fearlessness, and loyalty, even if they fought to the last two people, no one gave in, and their fighting will was the strongest and most tenacious I have seen in my military career for more than 20 years." ”

"But you killed them anyway. Qi Tian felt a little sad in his heart, and the scene of the tragic death of his brothers that day was still vivid.

Captain Gu Centurion looked ashamed, "I am a soldier, and a soldier must take obedience to orders as his duty, since the lieutenant's palace has given an order, I will carry out the order, but... I didn't fully execute it either, Lieutenant Xie asked me to cut off their heads and hang them outside the city gate, but I didn't do it, I wanted to leave the whole corpse of these iron-clad men, and it was precisely because of this that I violated Xie Jin's order and was ordered to suspend my post without pay for three months, and I thought about it behind closed doors, and my wife also had to work three more jobs a day to supplement the family. ”

He said indignantly: "But I don't regret it, and I'm even proud that the empire can have such bloody men!"

Qi Tian sighed, took a deep look at the ranking, and didn't say anything more.

"Have you seen Qi Tian? I heard that he is tall and thin, likes to wear white clothes, and is a very powerful person. The ancient centurion looked yearning.

Qi Tian glanced at him and slowly spoke: "As a member of the Qi Sect, I have naturally met the boss. ”

"Can you tell me what kind of man he is?" said the ancient centurion's face was full of anticipation.

"He..."Qi Tian suddenly didn't know how to introduce himself.

It can't be said that he just wants to be a good young man who eats, drinks, and plays well, and has no choice but to embark on this road of war, right?

"It's okay, you speak slowly, I especially want to know about him. I heard that when he came to teach at the Military Academy, when he competed with another instructor, he called for wind and rain, and even caused thunder to kill the other party. Captain Gu Centurion looked excited.

Qi Tian looked at his little fan brother... Belch... Little fan brother, I always feel a little weird.

He led his troops to kill fifteen of his brothers before, although he left the whole corpse of those brothers without knowing it, but after all, he killed his brothers, and now he doesn't know whether to hate him or forgive him.

"I don't know about this, but in short, he should be a very powerful person. ”

"How can you say that about your own boss!" Captain Gu Centurion was actually angry, "Lord Qi can win more with less, defeat the lion army twice, and recruit An Lushan, he must be a very powerful figure, and even the hope of the future of the empire!"
