Chapter 3: The Purple Guard
Chapter 3: The Purple Guard
Historically, the Emperor of Qin has a total of two mysterious guards around him, one is called the Shadow Guard, which is responsible for protecting the emperor's life. The other is called the Purple Guard, who is responsible for carrying out secret missions. However, no matter what kind of guards they are, they are directly under the orders of the emperor. Although these two kinds of guards are not big officials, their rights can be cut first and then judged, and the power of life and death can be controlled.
A few days ago, Ju Reliable reported that the traces of Situ and his grandson were found in Xihe Town, so this time Qin Qi, the new emperor of Qin State, directly used the secret power Ziyi Wei to find these two people. These two people are two of the Situ family of the former dynasty strategist family, one is called Situ Qing, who is the prime minister of the former dynasty, and the other is his grandson named Situ Yu.
This time, Emperor Qin Qi directly ordered Zihou, the leader of the Ziyi Guard, to carry out this mission, Zihou was not his real name, but the title of the leader of the Ziyi Guard. And this Zihou has a cold face, and he looks very young at first glance, his hands are fresh, his face is flushed, and he can't see any wrinkles, but you must know that his age is estimated to be taken aback, because his age is also more than a hundred years old.
Riding horses on the road, Ziyi Wei and his party inquired about their whereabouts, and this mission could have been said to be quite smooth, but when they came to Xihe Town, they found that this was a township at the foot of Lingyin Palace, and this township also happened to be a place to transport supplies from Lingyin Palace.
"Report to the leader, according to the government spies, Situ Qing's grandfather and grandson are in a direction to the west."
Hearing the news, Zihou, the leader of the Ziyi Guard, couldn't help frowning, and looked thoughtfully in the direction of the west.
Combined with the last few information, Zihou found that as long as a large number of officers and soldiers stepped into the town, Situ Qing's grandfather and grandson were like uncertain prophets, and before the arrival of those officers and soldiers, they had already gone to hollow out and did not know where to go, and not only as such, but also heard several times that the news they heard was false. However, this time it was the emperor who directly ordered the Ziyi Guards to be called, so they had already done a good job of controlling them before this, not only these people on the surface, but also their people in secret.
But as soon as he heard the news, Zihou knew that the source was fake news, which was completely different from what he heard a few days ago. The day before yesterday, Ziyi Wei secretly reported that Situ Qing's grandfather and grandson started a wine selling business in a wine cellar shop called Yezijiao in the east.
After a few breaths of silence, Zihou turned his head towards a street to the east, his face became more and more cold, and the eyes under his sword eyebrows also exuded a cold gaze.
"Go to the East Leaf Cellar. ”
"Yes!"
When the purple-clothed guards present heard the leader's order, they directly left their feet off the ground, and their figures disappeared directly in place. They didn't ask the reason for it, because they believed that there was nothing false in the Purple Guard's message.
.....
Leaves in the cellar.
Lan Ying looked at Situ Yu in front of her and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and said angrily: "If you look at me again, I'll pick out your eyeballs, believe it or not." ”
"But Sister Ying, you are so beautiful, I can't help but want to take a few more looks" Situ Yu grinned, in normal times, he always joked with Lan Ying, and he was used to coming and going.
"Be careful, I've torn your mouth apart. Although the words were cruel, Lan Ying said it to Situ Yu with a smile.
Seeing Lan Ying's smile, Situ Yu couldn't help but think of Lan Ying a few years ago. Although Lan Ying was also dressed in blue when I first saw her, her face was always covered with frost, and she looked cold.
"It's really a vicissitudes of life, a thought of time", just as Situ Yu was thinking about it, he heard Lan Ying continue.
"Give you such a dozen, I haven't even forgotten about business" Lan Yingsu gently tapped her forehead with her hand, showing her charm, and saw Situ Yu standing on the side, her eyes straightened.
"This can also be lazy for me" Situ Yu secretly complained, "It's obviously not good for you to fight by yourself"
At the same time, in the far away part of the leaf cellar, there were several figures flashing on the roof, flying in the direction of the leaf cellar, they were wearing cloaks on their backs, and they were wearing purple clothes, and their cultivation was a must, if any cultivators saw it, they would be able to see that their cultivation had entered the period of leisure.
Leisurely with the wind, flying in the sky, although the statement is exaggerated, but seeing the pace of the light second, it is not far behind, but the second half of the sentence must be removed.
Lan Ying just wanted to continue, when she heard a squeak of a wooden door opening behind her, and she didn't have to think about it to know who it was.
At this time, an old man with bearded hair dressed in gray clothes walked out of the courtyard inside, and this person was Situ Qing, who had just walked into the back door and said to get something.
Situ Qing looks simple, but the aura of Ling Ran is exiled, giving people a feeling of being a master outside the world.
"It's really good at picking the time. Lan Ying scolded in her heart. I saw Situ Qing speaking first.
"Yu'er, you take your bags and go south, there is a Bianjiang Town on the other side of Xihe Town, as long as you pass Bianjiang Town, you will go to the territory of Zhaoguo, and then go to find a general named Zhao Zhen, he used to be my student, and he will protect your safety. ”
"Sure enough, Grandpa already knew that Qin Yu would continue to send people to find our whereabouts", but thinking about it like this, Situ Yu also heard the clue from his words.
Taking the bag in his hand, Situ looked at the grandfather in front of him who had been with him for sixteen years in surprise, because he heard the word 'you' instead of 'we' in the words.
Not only Situ Qing was surprised, but even Lan Ying, who had just stood up, was full of shock, she thought that the news she heard was heard at the front line, so she hurriedly ran back to report the news, but Situ Qing already knew about it.
His face was a little embarrassed, but Situ Qing and his grandson had time to look at Lan Ying's embarrassed appearance.
I saw Situ Qing smile, looked at Situ Yu, his face was full of kindness, and he explained with a smile: "Grandpa is old, it's the year of the wind and candle, and he can't walk." ”
It was almost dusk, and when he heard this answer, Situ Yu couldn't help but feel gloomy in his heart, and his face was slightly vicissitudes. Since ancient times, no one has died, it is true for a mortal, the life span of a person is more than a hundred years old, which is also relative to those mortals who have no disease and no disaster in their life.
The atmosphere was a little depressing, and even Lan Ying, who had just come out of embarrassment, was shocked by this sentence.
"Grandpa, why don't you go to my teacher, I heard him say that cultivating immortals can lead to immortality." After a moment of silence, Situ Yu's eyes lit up, and his expression became as usual, and he spoke.
Situ Qing put away his smile and his face was slightly serious, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, and said, "If you don't leave, it'll be too late, and even your life will be gone when the time comes, how can you come from Xiuxian." ”
Hearing this, Lan Ying, who had been standing next to her and couldn't speak, also hurriedly opened her mouth and echoed: "Your grandfather is right, there is really no time to leave again, Xiao Yu hurry up and get on the road, ah no, you should leave quickly." In a hurry, Lan Ying's words became a little incoherent.
"Why don't you come with me, Sister Ying!"
