Chapter 53: Shadow Guard
Night fell, and the moonlight shone on the entire Purple Cloud Continent.
At the west gate of Nanming City, Wang Bu was not hungry and finally settled Brother Liu with a place to live, and then said to several soldiers guarding the city:
"Everyone cheered up tonight, a friend of mine will accompany us to guard the door in a while, don't make a fuss, if someone from the Zhao family passes by, it will be said that it is my fellow villager, named Yi Yusa, who just came to me from Wangjia Village in Daliangshan a few days ago. ”
Several soldiers laughed when they heard the words of Wang Bu Hunger and said:
"Captain, that's all you know, you don't want to be hungry.
People just have to eat enough.
Ha ha. ”
One sentence provoked everyone to laugh, and Wang Bu was hungry and shouted angrily:
"A group of little bastards, there is something important tonight, it was arranged by the general, if you mess it up, so that you can't eat and walk around, give me some cleverness. ”
Hearing that it was the general's order, several soldiers quickly put away their smiles and said with admiration on their faces:
"Don't worry, Captain Wang, the general's orders, whatever we say will be done. ”
After speaking, they all started to stand up straight.
Looking at the group of soldiers under his command, the state at this moment, Wang Bu smiled angrily.
Ay!
There is no way to call that even he himself admires this general Yu who loves the people like a son, and then shook his head helplessly, waiting for Yizhu's arrival.
At this time, Yizhu also slowly opened his eyes, walked out of the door unhurriedly, and just went out to see the old housekeeper standing at the door and said to him:
"Yi Gongzi, the old man is still in retreat, and he can't go out to see him off, so he asked the old slave to send the son out of the house. ”
Yizhu nodded and said:
"Trouble the old housekeeper, please lead the way. ”
Then he followed the old butler and walked outside.
After leaving the house, the old housekeeper told Yizhu:
"Childe, remember, safety first. ”
Yizhu looked at the old housekeeper and smiled and said:
"Don't worry, old butler, I'll be back before the hour. ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked directly in the direction of the west gate.
Looking at Yizhu's disappearing back, the old housekeeper muttered to himself:
"I can't understand how can this kid be so virtuous, he actually makes the master value him so much, and he actually asked me to arrange for the shadow guard to protect him secretly. ”
After saying that, he walked directly to the garden in the house.
Entering the garden, I saw the old housekeeper gently pressing on a blue-rock rockery, and the rockery instantly moved out a dark secret passage that could accommodate one person to enter and exit.
The old steward lit the candle on the wall of the secret passage, and then stretched out towards the secret passage, and when the old butler entered the secret passage, the Qingyan rockery automatically restored to its original state.
Half a cup of tea when the old butler came to the deepest part of the secret passage, and in front of him was a secluded hall, which, although illuminated by a faint candle, was still extremely dark.
At this time, the old butler called softly to the main hall:
"Where is the shadow guard? ”
As soon as the words fell, countless figures appeared from all directions, half-kneeling in front of the old butler.
At this time, the main hall was crowded with dark shadows.
The old butler smiled and stroked his beard and said:
"You are all orphans who have been fighting on the battlefield for decades and rescued, the general has not only taken care of you for more than ten years, but also taught you to cultivate, give you food and shelter, now is the time for you to repay the general, whether you listen to the order. ”
"The subordinates are willing to listen to the general's dispatch and swear allegiance to the general. ”
The earth-shattering response made the entire secret passage hall shake slightly.
The old butler nodded with satisfaction, and said to the shadow guard at the front:
"You're Nightblade?"
At this time, a dark shadow heard the old butler's inquiry and raised his head slightly, there was no expression on a pale face, the young man had a handsome face like a woman, but at this time his face was as pale as snow as a dead corpse, full of vicissitudes, looking at the young man who looked almost twenty years old, an extremely discordant voice came out of his mouth:
"The subordinate Nightblade is willing to listen to the dispatch. ”
Looking at the young man's face, the old butler said in disgust:
"The general has an order, ordering you to select a few capable shadow guards to go to Xicheng to secretly protect a young man named Yizhu, he will guard the gate in Xicheng tonight, and then he will follow the Zhao family's carriage to secretly do things, and then you will know who you want to protect."
There must be no mistake in this matter, and it should be done quickly. ”
Nightblade didn't make a sound, he turned his head slightly, and in an instant, five shadow guards disappeared in front of the old butler with him.
The old butler looked at the remaining shadow guards in the hall and said:
"Your task is to go to the city lord's mansion to secretly ambush, listen to the general's orders at any time, don't let anyone find out, even the people in the general's mansion can't know your existence, remember that you are just the general's shadow, a murderous shadow!
Go ahead.
Spend your life serving the Shogun. ”
As soon as the old butler's voice fell, all the remaining shadow guards disappeared from the old butler's face in an instant.
The old butler who looked at the empty hall at this time smiled, and slowly walked in the direction of the secret passage.
At this time, Yizhu had already walked to the West City Gate, and Wang Bu was hungry and saw him from afar, and trotted directly to Yizhu and said:
"Brother Yi!
I have prepared a set of clothes for you here to defend the city, not to avoid startling the grass and snakes, so that the Zhao family suspects, the brother should change into this set of clothes first, and then make a plan. ”
After listening to Wang Buxing, Yizhu nodded, directly picked up his clothes and found a corner, and put them on his body.
After dressing up, he came to the king and said:
"Don't be hungry, brother, what should I do next. ”
Wang Bu Hungry smiled and said:
"Brother Yi, don't worry, no one has appeared yet, and they usually don't leave the city until it's almost time.
They were out of the city once the night before, and they usually go out of the city every other day, so let's wait slowly, and it won't be long before they appear.
During this period, the aggrieved brother first regarded himself as an ordinary soldier, standing guard at the city gate, if the people of the Zhao family appeared to ask about you, you said that you are called Yi to eat, and I am a fellow villager, and I used to live in Wangjia Village, Daliangshan. ”
Hearing the name given to him by Wang Buxing, Yizhu's expression was instantly sluggish.
Helplessly whispered: "Don't be hungry brother, can we come up with a nice name, although this Yi is full of food does rhyme, but is it too casual." ”
Wang Bu was hungry and smiled and said:
"Brother Yi, you don't know about this, the more casual the name, the less noticeable it is, so that the old foxes of the Zhao family will not notice, and this name is also something that I thought about for a long time, believe my brother, just use this name, there is absolutely nothing wrong!
And it's just for one night.
Come and be happy!
Go with my brother to defend the city. ”
After speaking, he strode towards the city gate with Yizhu in tow.
After listening to Wang Bu Hung, Yizhu was directly laughed at angrily.
The name is still well thought out.
Then he smiled and shook his head, and had to follow Wang Buyu to the city gate, and as soon as he reached the door, he heard the soldiers at the gate shouting:
"Welcome to the arrival of Brother Yi's full meal!"
A sudden greeting directly made Yizhu look at Wang Bu with a red face.
Looking at Yizhu's complaining expression, Wang Bu was not hungry and shouted angrily at the noisy soldiers:
"You little bastards, hurry up and stand guard for me.
Don't make trouble, you're shouting, and you'll be served by military law. ”
As soon as they heard the military law, several people quickly stood up straight and honestly stood guard.
