Tang Yin sat on the bed and sighed in his heart. It seemed that it would be difficult to sleep peacefully tonight. He looked at Guo Jue who was standing with his head bowed at the door of the room, and asked feebly: "What can you do?"
"Reporting to His Highness Feng Wang, since the villain is appointed as the city lord, shouldn't he also be assigned some subordinates to be deployed by the villain?" Guo Jie asked.
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows. Not content with having made him the city lord, he had the audacity to ask for his subordinates? Before he could speak, Guo Jue said like a barrage: "Once word gets out that the villain is a city lord in name only."
, it also has a great impact on His Highness the Feng King’s reputation. After all, His Highness the Feng King doesn’t want to be rumored to say one thing on the surface and do another behind the scenes, right?”
Tang Yin was not a man of words at all, and he had no choice when it came to a man like Guo Jue who was not afraid of death and was extremely eloquent. After staring at Guo Jue for a while, Tang Yin asked helplessly: "What do you want?"
How many subordinates?"
"Ah, well..." Guo Jue really didn't think about how many subordinates he should have. He hesitated while thinking about it: "I think, two..."
"I have assigned two thousand troops to you for deployment. If you have nothing else to do, go out!" After speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand impatiently and said to Ah San: "Ah San, go and make arrangements."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Ah San agreed and said to Guo Jue who was still standing there, "City Master Guo, Your Majesty is already tired, please come!"
Guo Jue came to his senses. He originally planned to ask for 200 people, but he didn't expect that Tang Yin would allocate 2,000 people to him. Now, he would have enough manpower no matter what he did.
Tang Yin was not a fool. How could he send him two thousand soldiers in vain? These two thousand soldiers were said to be under the command of Guo Jue, but in fact they were to see him dead to prevent him from causing rebellion. In addition, Wanfang City had been occupied by Feng Jun, so
It is indeed necessary to leave some troops to guard the city.
Ah San took Guo Jue out of Tang Yin's bedroom, and while leading him to raise troops, he said in a warning tone: "The king is very tired today. Even if the sky falls, don't bother the king again!"
Guo Jue smiled and said: "General Ah San, don't worry, I will never bother the king again tonight." Of course, that won't be the case tomorrow. He added in his heart.
This was the first time Ah San was called General Ah San. A smile appeared on his cold face, but he didn't say much.
A small-scale transfer like two thousand soldiers did not require Tang Yin to come forward in person. Ah San only needed to bring Tang Yin's letter to handle it. He took out two formations of soldiers from the 10th Corps of the direct army and selected one of them.
The commander-in-chief made him obey Guo Jue's orders.
When Guo Jue wasn't paying attention, Ah San did not forget to add quietly: "Once you find that Guo Jue has done anything wrong, you can kill him first and report later."
The direct troops were all experienced veterans, so they naturally understood the reasoning. The two commanders nodded repeatedly, indicating that they knew what to do.
After raising the troops, Asan left, but Guo Jue did not leave. He asked the two captains to immediately select a hundred elite soldiers to accompany him to Laifu Teahouse for inspection.
The two commanders, Zhang Shun and Li Tian, both wondered if they had heard wrongly. Why were they going to Laifu Teahouse to conduct surveys in the middle of the night? Searching for ghosts? Neither of them wanted to go, but they couldn't get rid of Guo Jue's repeated attempts.
According to the request, he had to select a hundred soldiers and follow him to Laifu Tea House.
When they arrived at the door of Laifu Teahouse, Zhang Shun and Li Tian said they would not go in. They pointed at the door of the teahouse and said: "Master Guo, if you want to enter, you can go in by yourself. Even if we are beaten to death, we will not enter such a haunted house."
.”
The Feng soldiers below also reported that they were watching the fun and cheered: "That's right, that's right, our brothers are not afraid of the sky or the earth, they are just afraid of ghosts. The Lord of the City doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and likes to mess around, so you can do it yourself
Go and have fun!"
Guo Jue looked around at the crowd, nodded, and did not force them to do anything, and just walked into the teahouse alone.
Seeing him entering the dark teahouse alone, even the brave soldiers couldn't help but tremble. They surrounded Zhang Shun and Li Tian and asked: "Brother Zhang, Brother Li, is this guy really alone?"
If you go in, nothing will happen, right?"
"What could happen?" Zhang Shun sneered and said, "We brothers are not allowed to sleep in the middle of the night. If he really encounters a ghost and is scared to death, he is asking for it. He deserves it!"
More than half an hour later, just when people thought that Guo Jie was scared to death inside, he quietly came out of the teahouse like a thief. When people saw this, they stepped forward one after another, looking up and down.
He looked at Guo Jue at a glance and asked in various directions: "Master Guo, are you okay?"
There was no trace of fear on Guo Jue's face. Instead, he smiled confidently, shook his head and said, "I'm fine!"
"Then...have you found anything?" Zhang Shun and Li Tian asked in unison.
"Yes!" Guo Jue answered simply.
Zhang and Li were shocked and asked hurriedly: "What did you find?"
Guo Jue said obediently: "Well... we'll keep it a secret for the time being! You are lucky enough to be my subordinates. When I solve the case, you will get a share of the credit!"
Hey! These words made everyone's eyes brighten up. If Guo Jie can help him make meritorious service, he will have to fawn over him. Zhang Shun swallowed and said: "I just let the city lord go to investigate alone. I'm really embarrassed.
, where else are you going, Lord City Lord? This time you go up to the Mountain of Swords and into the Sea of Fire, my brother will definitely accompany you to the end!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Where else are you going, Lord City Lord?"
Guo Jue was happy and said: "You are really right, I do have somewhere to go."
"where is it?"
"Morgue!"
Phew! Everyone almost vomited blood and immediately regretted what they just said.
Guo Jue worked hard all night without closing his eyes, but on the second day, he was still in high spirits. With his hands behind his back, he led a group of direct military subordinates to wander around the city lord's palace. Whether he knew them or not, he saw them.
Just say hello.
"Hey! Brothers, wait!" Seeing a patrol of guards approaching in front, Guo Jie took the initiative to step forward and call them to a stop.
The guards stopped one after another and stared at him coldly.
Guo Jue seemed not to notice people's annoyance and asked with a smile on his face: "I wonder if any of you brothers know me?"
The leader of the guards snorted coldly and said: "You deserve to be called brothers to us! Aren't you the scholar who caused trouble last night? Do you really think you are the lord of the city? You are using chicken feathers as arrows! Brother!
Let’s continue patrolling and ignore him!”
The guards all rolled their eyes and walked past Guo Jue with great power. As the king's guards, they were more arrogant than the direct army. Not to mention that Guo Jue, the city lord, was just pretending. Even if a real city lord came, they
Don't take it seriously either.
Guo Jue didn't care at all about the humiliation of the guards, and the smile on his face didn't dim even one bit. He was thick-skinned enough and could endure it, but the soldiers directly under him who followed him couldn't stand it anymore, and they took advantage of themselves.
Isn't it self-humiliating to put your hot face on someone else's cold ass?
Seeing that the expressions of the people in the direct army were abnormal, Guo Jue asked slowly: "What? Are you not convinced?"
"How dare you not be convinced? I am the king's personal bodyguard, how could I possibly take us seriously?"
Guo Jue pretended to be concerned and said: "Don't look at their arrogance now, we will catch them sooner or later, and when the time comes, they will have to beg us!"
"Oh?" The people in the direct army suddenly became energetic and asked one after another: "Lord City Lord, how can we catch them?"
Guo Jue said mysteriously: "You just listen to my orders. No matter what orders I give, you will do whatever I tell you to do. If there is a problem, I will take care of it!"
"What's so difficult about this?!" Everyone in the direct army grinned.
Soon, another group of patrolling guards came over. Guo Jue was still the same, saying hello even though he was far away, and said with a smile on his face: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work!"
"Get the hell out of here, Mo Gou! If you stop getting in the way, I'll take your head!" This team of guards became even more arrogant, pointing directly at Guo Jue's nose and yelling.
Guo Jue touched his nose and backed away in disgrace. He greeted three groups of guards in succession, but was greeted with either cold looks or scoldings. In the end, even he couldn't stand it anymore and muttered: "It seems that the Feng Shui here is not right.
It’s time to change places.”
He took a group of his subordinate soldiers around to the backyard. When he met the guards on the way, he still diligently took the initiative to say hello, but he couldn't see the good looks on his face.
It was noon, and Guo Jue was about to go to dinner. When he saw another group of guards approaching from the opposite side, he stepped forward with a forced smile and said in the same words: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work!"
The team of guards was stunned and looked at Guo Jue with a frown. The leader of the team asked: "Are you..."
Ah! Finally, he met someone who didn't recognize him! Guo Jue became energetic and said with a smile: "I am Guo Jue, the newly appointed Lord of Wanfang City by Your Majesty."
"Oh! It turns out to be Mr. Guo. I'm sorry!" The captain of the guard bowed his hands politely and planned to continue patrolling with his men.
Guo Jue stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Brother, wait a minute, I have something ordered by the king to verify with you!"
Hearing him mention the name of the king, the captain of the guard team suddenly became serious and asked: "I wonder what Mr. Guo wants to verify?"
"Those brothers who committed crimes in Laifu Teahouse!" Guo Jie sighed in a pretentious manner and said: "Your Majesty is merciful. Although they have been exempted from the death penalty, they will still be punished for living crimes. Your Majesty will count their names.
, Submit it.”
"So that's it." The captain of the guard was about to speak, but the conversation changed and he asked, "Shouldn't General Lu Wen be responsible for this matter?"
The general Lu Wen he mentioned was the commander of the bodyguards, but Guo Jue only became the city lord last night, so he didn't know who Lu Wen was. He reacted quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he said: "This is just a small matter, no need to bother.
General Lu, the king also mentioned it to me in passing."
The captain of the guard smiled, nodded and replied: "That's right! It's really just a small matter!" As he spoke, he patted his head and thought for a while, then said: "The brothers who committed the crime yesterday should all be from the seventh formation.
..." He turned back and asked his men: "Do you remember which team you are from?"
"It's Zhao Laohu and his gang from the third team!" a guard said nonchalantly.
"Yes! They are from Tiger's team. I can't remember their specific names. Master Guo, please ask the other brothers!" The captain of the guard shrugged and walked away with his men.
