Yang Ji frowned. The black-bearded captain's suspicion was really beyond his expectation. His appearance was nothing like that of a barbarian, and he also had the "big red robe" that symbolized a military officer, but he still couldn't be trusted.
"May I have your name?"
Yang Ji asked suddenly. When he spoke, his tone changed, completely different from before.
"Hmph! Do you want to question me? Cangxu City is in trouble right now. Those people dare to send you here, how can they not know my details?"
Captain Blackbeard sneered, with a sarcastic look on his face, obviously he still didn't believe Yang Ji and was still suspicious of his identity.
"What if you know? So what if you don't know? You don't even pay attention to the barbarians, are you still afraid of giving your name?"
Yang Ji said coldly.
"Hmph, junior, don't use any provocation."
Captain Blackbeard's expression changed slightly and he sneered:
"I can't tell you. Grandpa can change his surname or his name. Hu Tieyan is me! You guys are so young, you can't attack by force. Now start to learn to be smart and use yin."
"Hu Tieyan obeys the order!"
Yang Ji knew that this guy was too suspicious, and nothing could convince him, so he didn't bother to say more, so he took out the document sent to him by the court from his pocket, and the ribbon seal:
"Immediately disarm and return to your clothes and obey the command!"
Buzz!
When Yang Ji took out the documents and the seal of the Cangxu City Guardian, not to mention Hu Tieyan, even Liu Hei and the other surrounding Cangxu City soldiers were stunned.
No one thought that the young man with whom they had just fought a bloody battle would be the new guard of Cangxu City.
Hu Tieyan opened his eyes wide and was speechless.
"grown ups!"
Hu Tieyan suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud and fell to the ground. His face almost touched the ground. This surprise was so shocking!
Hu Tieyan never expected that the "Big Red Robe" in front of him, whose origins were secret and whose identity was doubtful, was actually the new guard of the imperial court.
The truth is unbelievable, but the appointment documents and seals of the imperial court will not be faked.
He had met the four guards before. He was very familiar with this kind of documents and ribbons. Hu Tieyan couldn't help but tremble when he thought of the offense just now.
Three of the four "Heaven's Proud Sons" who were guarding Cangxu City were seriously injured and one died. The incident that caused an uproar in Imperial City has long been reported back to Cangxu City.
Cangxu City has not been guarded for a long time since it was guarded a long time ago. I don't know why it changed its temper during this period. Four of them were sent in a short period of time.
Moreover, every person sent here has a background that is difficult to provoke. He just met him for the first time, and he offended this "new guard" with a "noble" status and a good background. If he holds a grudge, he will have to deal with him.
If so, I'm afraid I'll be very sad in the future.
"See my lord!"
Hu Tieyan knelt down. The other frightened soldiers also reacted one after another. Together with Liu Hei, they all knelt down on the surrounding ruins in a black mass, and they were all silent.
"No need to be polite. I was not planning to reveal my identity. But now that it has been revealed, I will take office a few days in advance. Get up!"
Yang Ji said calmly.
"Thank you, sir!"
A group of people stood up quickly, but still lowered their heads and did not dare to look up.
"Sir, I heard that the imperial court sent troops and horses again this time. I wonder where those troops and horses... are?"
Hu Tieyan said bravely. As he spoke, he looked around.
"Humph, you are still doubting, right? Do you want me to show you the court documents and seals?"
Yang Ji said coldly, seeing through Hu Tieyan's thoughts at a glance.
He threw his right hand, pretending to throw away the documents and ribbons given to him by the court.
"Don't dare!"
Hu Tieyan was so frightened that he pulled back his neck and quickly retracted his hands, indicating that he did not dare to take over. What the new guard was thinking, his style, his actions, his moods and anger... I didn't know anything about it. How could he dare to be so casual?
offend.
"I have my own arrangements for those soldiers and horses, and they will appear naturally when the time comes. Don't ask too much."
Yang Ji waved his hand and said calmly.
"Yes, sir."
Hu Tieyan said quickly.
"Let me ask you, why are you so suspicious? Can Han people still be unable to tell the difference between Han people and barbarians? A big red robe is not enough to win your trust. Could it be said that the two will collude?"
Yang Jidao. What he cares about most is this.
"This, sir, is something you don't know."
Hearing Yang Ji ask about this, Hu Tieyan looked slightly embarrassed:
"The current situation in Cangxu City is complicated, and it cannot be explained clearly in a few words..."
"I'm just asking yes or no, you just have to answer this!"
Yang Ji pressed.
"This is!"
As soon as the word "yes" came out of his mouth, Hu Tieyan quickly lowered his head, with great fear on his face. It seemed that this matter was of great importance, and even he did not dare to provoke it easily.
Hu Tieyan said it simply, but Yang Ji felt a chill in his heart and his face changed color slightly.
The biggest worry in his heart emerged, and what Hu Tieyan said was exactly what he least expected to hear.
"I understand. I won't ask you about this matter again for the time being."
Yang Ji said calmly.
"Thank you, sir."
When Hu Tieyan heard this, he took a long breath and felt relieved.
"Let me ask you, where is the guardian office of Cangxu City?"
Yang Ji asked.
"It's not far from here. If you want to go, sir, I can lead the way."
Hu Tieyan said quickly.
After the barbarians retreated, all that was left was the finishing work. Without the interference of the stone rain in the air, the thousands of Cangxu City soldiers who had been hiding poured into the streets. Although the remaining wild monsters were extremely powerful, they were no longer able to cause any damage.
What a threat.
Yang Ji saw that the important matter had been decided, so he ignored it.
After setting off from the Northeast Arrow Tower, Yang Ji finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion of Cangxu Town after a while. Among the houses and ruins, an ordinary house stood.
Looking at this half-collapsed "official office" with half remaining and surrounded by ruins, Yang Ji couldn't believe his eyes.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yang Ji wouldn't have believed that this was the gatekeeper's mansion in Cangxu City. I'm afraid that the mansion he bought for Uncle Liang in Pingchuan City was much more "luxurious" than this one, and it looked more like a gatekeeper.
Bottom house.
"How is this going?"
Yang Ji stood in front of the ruins, stretched out his right hand, and pointed an index finger at the "Guardian Mansion" behind him.
"You may not be used to this. Cangxu City is a border city and a forward sentry. It certainly cannot compare with the prosperity of the inland areas."
Hu Tieyan rubbed the back of his head and said with some embarrassment. As a guard residence of a city, this dark and dilapidated official residence is indeed a bit dilapidated.
Yang Ji remained silent. This place is incomparable to inland cities, not even to cities in remote coastal areas.
"What about the others?"
Yang Ji asked, pointing to the other half of the official residence that was in ruins.
"This has not always been like this. Your Excellency, I don't know. There was a battle at the Guarded Mansion before. It was at that time that the Guarded Mansion was destroyed."
Hu Tieyan looked much normal this time.
Yang Ji nodded, already understanding what was going on. Obviously, fierce battles had broken out in this mansion during his previous guards.
Pushing open the two wooden doors, Yang Ji led Hu Heiyan, Liu Hei, and a group of elite soldiers into the mansion. The guard's mansion was very dilapidated. It could be seen that it was built a long time ago and had not been renovated for a long time.
Already.
The mansion was low and dark. When Yang Ji walked on the ground, he could feel a thick layer of dust. There were even spider threads in many corners.
"Ever since the accident, this place has been closed and entry is strictly prohibited. And because this place is very dilapidated,... it is not comparable to the palaces in Beijing. Therefore, official business is basically not handled here. Even in the hands of a few guards, this place
It is rarely used for official business."
Hu Tieyan followed, explaining as he walked.
"It doesn't matter if it's dilapidated, but the dust must be swept away. From now on, this is where I will conduct official business. Hu Tieyan, I will leave the cleaning to you."
Yang Ji put his hands behind his back and said calmly.
"Although a sparrow is small, it has all its internal organs." During the war, everything was kept simple. The garrison's mansion in Cangxu City was either small or old, but it still had the atmosphere of an official residence.
Yang Ji has no special requirements for accommodation. As long as it is clean, this place can fully meet his needs.
The soldiers accompanying Hu Tieyan were the best "government servants". They immediately started cleaning after giving the order. When the guard's mansion was cleaned, it was already dark.
Candles were lit around the mansion and the soldiers were driven out. Yang Ji left behind Hu Tieyan, Liu Hei and others, and summoned the ghost alchemist to accompany them.
This is basically considered taking office officially.
"Captain Hu, let me ask you, the previous four guards guarded three people, three were seriously injured, and one died. What on earth is going on?"
There was no one around in the room, the only ones left were confidants, Yang Ji finally asked.
Four of his strong competitors, one whose life or death is uncertain, two whose martial arts skills have been abolished, and one who dies, it is impossible for Yang Ji not to pay attention to such a big matter.
So far, Hu Tieyan is the most likely to give himself this answer.
"The court already has the answer. Don't you know, sir?"
Hu Tieyan said.
"Am I asking you now?"
Yang Ji said in a deep voice.
"This... I'm afraid I have no way to answer, sir."
Hu Tieyan lowered his head:
"Each Cangxu City has its own guard area. I guard the corner tower in the northeast. I have never been able to change my order and cannot enter the guard's mansion without permission. Moreover, the previous guards have never liked me very much."
"But in Cangxu City, don't you know any news?"
Yang Ji did not relax, his eyes were bright, and he continued to ask questions.
"My subordinates really don't know.
Hu Tieyan shook his head, paused and said:
"But my subordinates heard some rumors in the turret. It is said that several guards were injured in the guard's mansion when the barbarians invaded."
