He was just a little twisted into a ball, but he still tried his best to make his expression more contagious to others.
"Master Jinyiwei, it's me!" The old man pointed at his lumpy facial features.
The captain of the Jinyi Guards stretched out his head and stretched his neck. It took a lot of effort to identify the old man lying on the ground. And when he saw an acquaintance, his guarded mood was naturally reduced a lot, but he still maintained With the most basic defensive posture, the distance is relatively close.
"It turns out to be an old drunkard. Why are you not in the tavern and still energetic enough to wander around outside in the early morning?" The team leader and the drunken old man seemed to be a bit pretentious, so they just started talking to each other, but they themselves His professionalism still allowed the corps commander to change into what a Jin Yiwei should be in the next moment. After all, he was still patrolling and performing his own tasks.
"Sir, old man, I..."
The drunken old man was just thinking about replying, but Jin Yiwei shouted and interrupted: "Wait a minute! Drunken old man! Who is the person standing next to you? Is he from the palace? Ask him to turn around. I want to meet you! If you don’t reveal your identity again, if it’s someone you know, then don’t blame me for taking action!”
The old man started to have trouble. He just wanted some money. Unexpectedly, the person in front of him who bumped into him was a stubborn donkey. Not only did he not speak, but the Jin Yiwei came, and he was still as steady as a rock and motionless. The old man saw the Jin Yiwei opposite. The body has already fallen down, and the four people in the distance are also not good people, and the expressions on their faces are extremely solemn. Even if the old man wants to use his little friendship to save the current tense situation, it is impossible. The Jin Yiwei over there doesn't seem to be a procrastinator to be trifled with.
"Boy, I am really not joking now. Let's put aside the matter of losing money for now! Old man, I don't want to die in the palace just yet."
But Su Xuan still didn't respond. The old man finally stood up straight, raised his head and looked directly into Su Xuan's eyes. He finally saw the golden light coming from Su Xuan's eyes that were open and never closed. They had always been there. The muddy, unconscious old man clenched his teeth, and his two slightly yellow eyes were finally no longer confused. They opened as wide as the rising sun in the sky for the first time.
"So that's how it is, no wonder!" The old man murmured to himself in a voice that he could only hear. His stooped body no longer trembled. The hand holding the gourd was not trembling, but as if The pillars on the eaves that hold up the entire building hold the wine gourd firmly in their hands.
"Old Jiutou!"
The captain of Jinyiwei urged loudly not far away.
"Forget it, forget it, since you have come out, there is no need for me to interact with these people." The old man made room in front of Su Xuan. The flattering smile on his face had disappeared. The only thing that existed on the old man's face was the raised corners of his mouth, and the joy that he finally encountered what he had been looking forward to for a long time, the joy that could not be concealed.
"Old Jiutou, why are you laughing?"
The captain of the Jinyi Guards, who had known the old man for some time, couldn't help but be a little confused. He had been in the border army for a long time before he really reached his current position. Now he has a natural intuition for danger. The captain has never been with the old man. I have never seen such an ecstatic expression on my face!
Even if he got a bottle of good wine, or maybe he just happened to have one or two cups of wine left in the wine cellar, the old wine head would be very happy and get drunk before resting. But now, the corps commander has never seen the kind of momentum that the other party has. I've seen it before, and although there isn't much difference, I just felt that there was danger and that something was wrong.
"Today is really a good day. I drank a lot of wine from the past few days and now I have met the inheritor who I have been waiting for for thirty years! Of course I am happy! Hahaha! "
Baihu obviously felt that the time for his patrol change had been delayed, and he strode forward. This kind of bad old man didn't have much interaction with him anyway, and coupled with the current situation in the palace, he would die. A few old men don't have any big problems. The most they can calculate at that time is to charge them with a crime at will, but they can't delay their time to go back to sleep after being laid off.
"Captain, what are you doing? Why did it take so long?"
Baihu didn't even think about it and drew his sword directly. Although he was Baihu and his level was higher than that of Wu Zhang, it didn't look like Wu Zhang had a hard-working resume in the army. He was just a person relying on the connections around him. The worms in the officialdom that are climbing up one level at a time naturally do not have as keen a sixth sense as the captain.
"Master Baihu, I think something is wrong..."
The corporal commander looked embarrassed, and he also felt sorry for the old Jiutou in his heart. If he really made hundreds of households unhappy, he would kill without blinking an eye. He knew the old Jiutou's life experience, but he was just a tidying up in the palace. He's just an old man, so what connections and abilities do he have? His thin body, coupled with the erosion of alcohol, had long been riddled with holes, and he had to rest several times even to move a bucket of swill.
The corporal commander is also someone who has come up from the bottom. He feels much heavier about this kind of suffering than the young Baihu, and his feelings for the old Jiutou are also much deeper.
"What's wrong?" Baihu straightened the knife in his hand, pointed it at the old Jiutou who was no more than ten steps away, and shouted: "Old man, why do you think you look familiar? It turns out you are a swill dealer. I am in a very bad mood today. No, you are unlucky. Anyway, a swilling person in the palace can be found anywhere outside the palace. In addition, you are now standing on the road of our mission and refuse to give way. Then I will let you die as soon as possible! "
The corporal commander still wanted to make some efforts, but he saw the intimidating eyes of Baihu, who was only about thirty or so. If he wanted to make some changes, he swallowed it in his throat, but he didn't want to see this bloody After a scene, he turned around.
"Commander! You must remember what you are doing now! You are just an old man! Haha..." Baihu sneered: "Indecisiveness and a bodhisattva heart without any origin are obstacles to your progress."
Listening to Baihu, who was about ten years younger than himself, educating himself, the corps commander did not respond, or even take any action. He had no way to change the situation. The only humanity left in his heart could only allow him to do something different. Seeing what is going to happen later, there is nothing else you can do.
