After hearing Xiao Yi's answer, Zhou Pengtao hesitated.

But he also saw Xiao Yi's face was determined and serious, and it didn't look like he was joking.

No one in this world dares to play tricks on Jin Yiwei!

Xiao Yi was also a little helpless at this time. It was not that he deliberately kept the news secret and did not tell the source of the information, but even if he told it, no one would believe it.

Say he can deduce the future?

Say he has a system?

Then he will probably be regarded as an idiot...

…

Zhou Pengtao thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "This news is very important. If the Shen family is really involved, it is not up to me to make the decision. It needs to be reported immediately."

"In this case, let's wait for two days and wait for instructions from our superiors."

So, the three of them discussed and decided to stay put and wait for two days.

Two days passed by in a flash.

…

The third day.

Xiao Yi came to the county government office early in the morning and went straight to the back office.

When the maid took him to the living room, he found that it was empty and there was no one there. Not only was Hua Qingyuan not around, but Zhou Pengtao was also nowhere to be seen.

Haven't you gotten up yet?

That was impossible. He ruled out this speculation immediately.

Does that mean you have already started taking action?

But the county government office was peaceful, and nothing happened in the city. It was very peaceful.

Just as he was secretly guessing, Hua Qingyuan walked in from outside.

"Captain Xiao arrived just in time. I was about to send someone to find you."

"Sir, where is Zhou Baihu? He has already taken action, right..."

"No, Lord Baihu asked me to tell you to go to Sifang Inn to find him."

…

So, Xiao Yi left the county government office and went straight to Sifang Inn.

Sifang Inn is not far from the county government office. After turning two intersections, you are already in sight.

When Xiao Yi entered the store, he was immediately recognized by the waiter, who said happily: "The God Catcher is here, sit down quickly, I will pour you a cup of tea."

Stopping the other party, Xiao Yi asked directly: "There is a friend named Zhou waiting for me. Can I give you an explanation?"

Snapped!

The waiter patted his forehead lightly and said with a smile: "Look at me, look at me. As soon as I saw you coming, I was so happy that I forgot all about the business. There is a guest officer named Zhou waiting for you in the backyard. Come on, I

Take you there."

At that moment, he took Xiao Yi through a gate on the first floor of the store and entered the backyard.

The backyard is not small. It is composed of several large separated courtyards, connected by doors.

It not only ensures a certain degree of privacy, but also facilitates the cleaning and management of the inn.

I followed the waiter to the largest courtyard. Zhou Pengtao was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, holding a piece of white cloth and gently wiping the embroidered spring knife.

The blade of the sword was bright and smooth as a mirror. Under the sunlight, it flashed with cold light, and a faint murderous aura emanated from it.

Seeing this scene, the waiter quickly apologized and turned around to leave, for fear of getting into trouble.

"Master Baihu!" Xiao Yi bowed and bowed his hands.

Clang!

Zhou Pengtao put away the white cloth, returned the sword to its sheath, and said with a smile: "Here we come!"

Then he said: "Sir Qianhu, the news has been sent."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi suddenly froze and waited quietly for the other party's next words.

"Brother Xiao, are you willing to join the Jin Yiwei?"

Xiao Yi was a little confused. He was waiting to hear news about Qianhu Jinyiwei. Why did he suddenly start recruiting him?

The style of this painting changed so fast that it caught people off guard!

"Um, sir, what do you mean by that?"

"Haha, were you scared?"

"No, no, I just can't figure it out..." Xiao Yi answered truthfully.

Zhou Pengtao laughed loudly, and then explained: "Since I came to Linxiang County last month, I have been hearing about your deeds. After some investigation, I feel that you are a talent."

"And we, Jin Yiwei, need talents like you!"

Hearing what he said, the doubts in Xiao Yi's heart these days were finally solved.

He was at home these days, thinking about the scene when they met that day, and couldn't figure out why Zhou Pengtao was so friendly towards him.

Yes, that’s friendly!

You know, those are the Imperial Guards, the emperor's personal army, monitoring the world.

Only when he yells at others and shows off his power, how can he be so polite to others?

If you look at Zhou Pengtao's attitude towards Hua Qingyuan, you will know that the dignified official of the county, the parent and official in charge of the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, always behaves in a lowly manner in front of him.

Now, I finally understand that this is because I cherish my talents and want to recruit them!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. Sure enough, gold can shine wherever it is...

However, when he thought about Jin Yiwei's reputation and responsibilities, he suddenly hesitated.

Although the Jinyiwei are famous and unstoppable throughout the world, they are a force responsible to the emperor.

The emperor's thoughts are the most unpredictable!

This is a huge nest of right and wrong...

Once you join, you can't quit or quit!

This deviated greatly from the plan and ideal in his mind, and could even be said to run counter to it.

What he yearns for is,

Wearing bright clothes and angry horses, wielding swords in the rivers and lakes, unrestrained and carefree...

If one day I can,

The best in the world, I am the only one who is supreme, no one dares to disobey the orders given by the world, then it will be even more perfect!

So Xiao Yi carefully considered the words and said in a tactful tone: "Sir, I am a loser. I like to lie down. I have been in this small place for a long time and I am used to freedom."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to take on such an important responsibility as a royal guard, lest I let you down for your hard work."

"Lie down?"

"Haha, I'm just lazy..."

Zhou Pengtao smiled and said, "This word is a bit interesting."

Even though he was politely rejected, he did not get angry and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. If Brother Xiao changes his mind in the future, he can come to Changsha County to find me at any time."

Xiao Yi naturally thanked him profusely, claiming that he had failed the other party's good intentions.

Zhou Pengtao turned around, picked up the embroidered spring knife, and shouted: "Here comes someone!"

Squeak~

Hurrah!

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of people filed out of several surrounding rooms.

They are all burly men, all with solemn faces and stern expressions, carrying embroidered spring knives at their waists and wearing flying fish suits.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi immediately understood that this Sifang Inn was actually the place where Jin Yiwei stayed.

Just standing there, these dozens of imperial guards in gilded uniforms had an intimidating aura. For a moment, the entire courtyard was filled with murderous intent. It was so cold that the temperature seemed to have dropped a little.

"Set off!"

Zhou Pengtao looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice.

There was a sound of dense footsteps, and these royal guards in royal robes quickly walked out.

"Brother Xiao, do you want to join this operation?"

Xiao Yi was a little stunned when he heard the question about himself, then his face lit up and he said with a smile: "I can do it too?"

"Thanks to Brother Xiao this time, otherwise it might not have been so smooth."

"That's great. I will do my best to assist the Jin Yiwei in eradicating these rebellious officials and traitors."

At that moment, Xiao Yi followed Zhou Pengtao out of the Sifang Inn and rushed towards the county government office.
Chapter completed!
