Qi Tian nodded, "yes, in fact, I don't have much contact with him." ”

Captain Gu Centurion nodded, expressing his understanding, in his heart, a person as heroic and majestic as Qi Tian would definitely not have too much contact with the young squad leader in front of him.

"Bell, bell, bell. ”

"General Gu! General Gu!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard.

Captain Gu Centurion frowned, "It's the Guards, I'll go see what's going on, don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let you have an accident." ”

After he finished speaking, he strode towards the door of the house.

Qi Tian looked at the sturdy back of the ancient centurion, and his emotions were very complicated.

Soon, the ancient centurion hurried back, still holding a letterhead in his hand.

"You... By the way, I don't know the name of the little brother yet. ”

Qi Tian groaned, "It's good if you call me Xiao Qi." ”

He felt that saying this would not be a lie to him, but also that he could protect himself.

Gu Centurion didn't notice Qi Tian's abnormality, and nodded, "My name is Gu Zhengang, because my personality is not very gregarious, others call me Gu Qinggao, you can just call me Brother Gu." ”

He handed the letterhead to his side: "Tomorrow the guards should have a big move, they will meet on Chengnan Street in the morning, it should be to deal with Lord Qi, you should find a way to inform Lord Qi as soon as possible." ”

Qi Tian took the letterhead and looked at the contents inside, it was very simple, that is, let centurions at all levels lead their troops to meet on Chengnan Street, and there was Xie Jin's official seal on it.

'It seems that most of the guards don't know that Xie Jin is dead, and tomorrow they are not going to deal with themselves, but the crown prince is going to raise an army to seize the throne, and the target is the palace!'

"Brother Gu, don't worry, I will definitely convey it to Lord Qi. ”

Gu Zhengang took out a waist card engraved with the words "hundred" and "ancient" from his arms, "You also take this, with this thing, the guards will know that you are my person, they will scold you a few words at most, but they will not really embarrass you." I was not popular in the Guards, and my brother was wronged. ”

Qi Tian smiled, "Thank you Big Brother Gu for your help." ”

A person like Gu Zhengang is simply a clear stream in the filthy Guards, and it is strange that he can be popular.

The other Guards looked down on him, and he looked down on them.

At this moment, a woman dressed in coarse clothes came from the direction of the house.

"Hey, who is this?" the woman was stunned when she saw the strange Qi Tian.

Gu Zhengang smiled, "Mother-in-law, this is my little brother, you can call Xiao Qi." ”

The woman gave him a blank look, and complained: "Hmph, I will say that there can never be guests in the house, and the guards up and down, who does not know that you are the most noble! All the gift-givers have been driven out by you, and the old lady will be busy from morning to night!"

Gu Zhengang laughed dryly, "When you married me, didn't you just take a fancy to my upright character." By the way, today the little brother is eating at our house, and he cooks more than one person. ”

The woman glanced at him and went straight to the back kitchen.

Qi Tian could see that although the woman was complaining, she admired and loved Gu Zhengang in her heart.

"Brother Gu, you are so happy, your sister-in-law is a good wife and mother at first glance. ”

Gu Zhengang looked at the woman's distant back and sighed heavily, "I don't know what blessings I have accumulated in my previous life, I can marry such a good wife, he has followed me for all these years, I don't know how many sins he has suffered, how many white eyes he has suffered." ”

Qi Tian suddenly asked, "Didn't Big Brother Gu have a child?"

Gu Zhengang looked to be in his forties, and the woman was also in her early thirties, but there was no trace of a child in the courtyard.

There was a bit of pain in his eyes, "No, your sister-in-law was pregnant with a child back then, but she accidentally miscarried, and Dao has not been able to conceive another one now, and then I wanted to find a doctor to recuperate, but the cost of medicine is too high, and we can't afford it at all." Over the years, I know that your sister-in-law wants a child of her own, but she never says it. ”

Suddenly, he smiled again, "Not long ago, there was a girl in the house, who looked very good-looking, and her little white face was like egg whites. It's a pity..."

Qi Tian hurriedly asked, "What is a pity?"

He knew that this girl's eight achievements were Qi Nian.

Gu Zhengang realized that he had said too much, "It's nothing, that girl was picked up by her family." ”

Suddenly, he looked at Qi Tian, "By the way, you tell Lord Qi again that his child is very safe and will not be harmed." ”

Qi Tian nodded, he knew that what Gu Zhengang was talking about was Qi Nian, but Qi Nian was now by the eldest princess's side.

Subsequently, Gu Zhengang took Qi Tian to visit his study.

"Xiao Qi, in addition to the bedroom and the stone pavilion, my favorite is here, here are the military books I have accumulated over the years. ”

Qi Tian looked at the ordinary bookshelves, full of all kinds of books, it seemed that Gu Zhengang was an idiot in the art of war.

"My biggest wish now is to learn the art of war with Master Qi, and ask him how to completely annihilate Akbar without bloodshed, and how to defeat An Lushan and the army of 30,000 lions. Gu Zhengang looked yearning, "Some time ago, the Lion Empire sent 15,000 troops to attack the imperial capital, and the guards were more than 200,000 people, and nearly half of the soldiers were lost, so it was a draw. ”

"Who is the general who commanded the Guards against the Lion Legion?" Qi Tian suddenly asked.

He wanted to know more about the military generals of the Imperial Capital City.

Gu Zhengang suddenly said a little arrogantly: "I'm not afraid of brothers' jokes, it's me." Although Lieutenant Xie was greedy, he was not a brainless person, he knew that I knew how to fight, and when he learned that the Lion Legion was going to attack in a big way, he temporarily set up the Guards General Staff, with me as the chief of staff, to deploy and coordinate. Later, the Lion Legion withdrew, and I became a centurion again. It is because of this that over the years, no matter how many officials have impeached me, Lieutenant Xie has always put me in the position of centurion. ”

Qi Tian also understood at this time why Gu Zhengang was so unsociable and so high-minded, but he could still be the centurion of the Guards.

Otherwise, according to Gu Zhengang's character, he would have been killed by those villains who were making conspiracies.

After all, Gu Zhengang from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, there is nothing like the corrupt atmosphere of the Guards.

"The noodles are ready, the old man will bring your little brother to eat. The woman shouted in a white-washed apron.

"Okay, come now!" Gu Zhengang looked at Qi Tian: "Little Seventh Brother, try my mother-in-law's craftsmanship, it is definitely the best noodle in the mainland!"

Qi Tian looked at Gu Zhengang's upright face, as well as the simple woman in the distance, and suddenly had a thought that he didn't want to go against him.

What a couple.

"Brother Gu, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to ask or not. Qi Tian suddenly asked.

Gu Zhengang said nonchalantly: "We are all brothers, what can't we say." ”

Qi Tian pondered slightly, and then spoke: "If you are going to have a decisive battle with Lord Qi tomorrow, are you helping the crown prince or Lord Qi?"

Gu Zhengang's face was stunned, and his brows twisted into a pimple: "Although I admire Lord Qi, I am a soldier of the empire, and the king has to kill the ministers, so I will still kill Lord Qi." ”

Qi Tian nodded secretly in his heart, if Gu Zhengang disobeyed the soldier's orders just for admiration, then he would not be Gu Zhengang.

"If, I mean, the crown prince and the lieutenant's palace conspire to rebel, and the emperor orders a rebellion, what should you do?" Qi Tian said tentatively.

He didn't know why he revealed so much, maybe it was because Gu Zhen's upright temperament had just moved him.

Gu Zhengang paused, and his face became strange, "Little Seventh Brother, you can't talk nonsense. ”

"I said yes. Qi Tian looked at Gu Zhengang with both eyes.

Gu Zhengang's face was entangled, as if he had encountered a choice, and he said slowly for a long time: "Although the emperor lives in seclusion in the harem all the year round, the emperor is the emperor, and I will follow the emperor's order to quell the rebellion." ”

Qi Tian smiled and didn't say anything more.

The three of them ate in a modest room, with two pickles in addition to three bowls of noodles.

It's just that Qi Tian discovered one thing, in addition to the two pieces of meat in his bowl, Gu Zhengang and his mother-in-law only had two green vegetables in their bowls.

When night falls, Qi Tian prepares to leave, after all, he still has a lot to do tonight.

Gu Zhengang sent him to the door, "Little Seventh Brother, take care of yourself, if you encounter danger, come to Brother." ”

Qi Tian hesitated slightly, took out a few silver tickets from his arms, covered them under his hand, and handed them to him, "Big brother, this time I came to the imperial capital city for fear that it will be more auspicious and less, there are not many of these silver tickets, you stay, if you die here, these will be used as money for my sister-in-law's treatment, if I still have a life, I will come to you to eat and drink if I have nothing to do in the future." ”

Because he deliberately did not show the front of the silver ticket, Gu Zhengang only thought it was a silver ticket with dozens of silver coins, so he took it: "The eldest brother is not polite to the brother, if the brother survives, the eldest brother's family is your home." ”

Qi Tian nodded, turned around and fled into the dark night.

Gu Zhengang returned to the room and threw the silver ticket on the table casually, and when he saw the denomination of the silver ticket, his tiger eyes instantly widened!

And his mother-in-law also grew her mouth in surprise.

"Old man, you... Who are you giving this from?"

Gu Zhengang shook his head, his brows furrowed even tighter, he never expected that each of these silver tickets would have 20,000 gold coins!

Suddenly, he looked stunned, "No, he's Lord Qi!"

In fact, he had already found that this young man named "Xiao Qi" was a little different, but he usually had a rough personality and was informal, so he didn't care about this.

"Lord Qi, what Lord Qi? is the Qi Tian you often talk about?"

Gu Zhengang didn't say anything, he "Teng" got up from his seat, "Mother-in-law, don't go out tonight, don't do it tomorrow, stay at home honestly, no one will open the door except me!"

The woman knew Gu Zhengang very well, and hurriedly asked, "When will you come back?"

Gu Zhengang shook his head, "I don't know." ”

He put on his armor, took his weapon and went out immediately.

Qi Tian walked briskly on the streets of the Imperial Capital City alone, he had already asked Gu Zhengang about the route home, so he would not get lost again.

Soon, he came to the house rented by Uncle Jiu.

At this time, it was pitch black in the house, and there was no movement.

He pushed the door straight in.

"Huh!"

Two long knives were placed around his neck.

"It's me!" Qi Tian whispered.

"Ahh

"Put it down, it's the boss!"

I saw that the people on the left and right were Ah Niu and the Ning brothers.

At this time, the entire house was full of people, and everyone was wearing the armor of the Black Flag Legion.

The armor glowed with an eerie sheen in the dim moonlight.

"Hello Boss!"

Everyone shouted in a low voice.

Qi Tian waved his hand, signaling that everyone did not need to be polite.

"Ah Niu, you weren't noticed when you came, right?"

Ah Niu shook his head and turned to look at the ground in the house, "Directly from the tunnel, there is another group of brothers in the room on the other side." ”

Qi Tian nodded appreciatively.

After the Imperial Capital City was sealed, Uncle Nine thought of a way to enter the Imperial Capital City through tunnels.

The 5,000 Qimen legionnaires were originally poor people who were hoeing and farming, and the 5,000 people took turns digging up, so they were quickly dug through.

This tunnel goes directly from outside the city to Qi Tian's house, and outsiders don't know about it at all.

At that time, Qi Tian knew that after Uncle Nine used this method to enter the city, he also agreed very much.

"Boss, the thousand Black Flag Legions are here, too. Ah Niu said.

Qi Tian smiled, "I know, I ordered them to come." ”

Ah Niu and these people didn't know that this Thousand Black Flag Legion was the Iron Scorpion Legion that had swept the entire continent, and after they put on the armor, it would not be a problem for them to travel hundreds of miles a day.

"Huh, how did the boss inform them?" Ah Niu said with some curiosity.

"Guess?" Qi Tian played a dumb riddle, and then looked at Bingfeng, "Bingfeng, how is the inspection of that place?"

Bing Feng had already walked to Qi Tian's side at this time, "Heavily guarded, at least a dozen people in the martial arts." ”

"So many?" Qi Tian was a little surprised.

If there are five or six martial arts masters around the prince, he can understand, after all, he is the prince of the country, but there are more than a dozen, which is too desperate, not to mention that there is an unfathomable Uncle Lei.

Bing Feng saw Qi Tian's surprise and said indifferently: "Don't worry, they are all ordinary martial arts people, and I alone will be enough to deal with it." ”

Qi Tian raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by ordinary martial arts people?" Could it be that martial arts are still divided into high, medium and low grades?"

Bingfeng didn't bother to pay attention to Qi Tian, turned his head and didn't look at him, that expression seemed to be saying, too lazy to talk to an idiot like you.

Qi Tian was used to the appearance of Bingfeng, and he didn't care, sitting in the courtyard, he pondered how to deploy the battle tomorrow.

Outside the city.

"Uncle Nine, why does the boss want peace talks first, I want blood, I want to fight!" An Lushan complained.

Since he returned to Qi Tian, he has been leading troops to carry out the task of building a city, and fights are not allowed in the city, so he doesn't even have a place to loosen his muscles and bones every day.

Now they finally got a task of being ordered to kill people, but the boss asked them to negotiate first, and then kill people if they couldn't get along.

"Hehe, those guards in the north of the city should be the prince's descendants, and there are few opportunities for peace talks, so you have to fight. Uncle Nine said with a smile.

He could feel An Lushan's restlessness, like a tiger in a cage for a long time suddenly opening the door, eager to taste the taste of blood.
