In the early morning, when the city gate of Shangjing City opened, the first batch of people entering the city were ushered in.
Maybe it was still early, maybe it was too cold, but there were not many people entering the city at this time. One came in in twos and threes from time to time, and I could count them on two hands.
There were also many people with sleepy faces, wanting to curl their necks into their collars.
But the figures of one group of people seemed particularly eye-catching.
Even when people walked far away, the little guards guarding the city were reluctant to look back, and they had no idea until the commander came over.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you stand guard properly?" The guard commander lightly patted the guard, and his breath was frozen into a mist. "My eyeballs are about to run away!"
"Sir!" The guard was startled when he saw that it was his immediate superior. He immediately stood up straight and looked at his nose and nose. He was serious.
Seeing him like this, the commander couldn't help but sneered, "What on earth are you looking at? You are not usually a distracted person, right?"
As he said that, he looked in the direction where the guard was staring just now.
But... it was completely blank. There was no one on the street, not even a duck or a dog.
Although the commander was serious, he always got along well with his subordinates. Listening to his tone, the guard knew that he did not really mean to punish him, so he immediately put on a flattering smile and said, "Sir, my subordinates are looking at you."
The three people who just walked by."
The commander couldn't help but smile and said: "Who is worthy of you wanting to cut off his neck to see him?"
"Just these three people, wearing white clothes, two men and one woman, full of fairy spirit!" The guard said, and pointed in the direction where the few people left just now, "Hey... where are the people?"
Wasn't this person here just now? Why did he suddenly disappear?
When the guard commander saw the thin and frail little guard looking so dazed, he sighed softly and patted the water stains left by the snowflakes on his shoulders. "Could it be that you have been dazzled by watching the whole night? I'll wait a moment."
My son has changed his shift, go back and have a good sleep."
"Sir, I can't be mistaken!" The guard immediately became anxious upon hearing this, "It's really amazing! Others wear big coats, but they wear gauze!"
In the dead of winter, are you still wearing gauze?
When the commander heard this, he immediately became happy. He thought that he was really freezing. He patted the guard on the head and wanted to make some jokes. However, seeing how red his face was, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he smiled and moved away.
raised the topic, "How can a god be better than our Lord Xiao Zhang, the current Crown Princess? How can a god be better than our His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Speaking of these two people, the guard's eyes immediately lit up, and he said proudly and proudly, "No! How can they compare with our Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess!"
The spirit of immortality is fluttering, and while the immortals are still alive, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are the well-deserved number one in their hearts!
"That's enough." The guard commander sneered, as if he remembered something, a trace of recollection flashed in his eyes.
The guard rolled his eyes and took two steps forward, "Sir, I heard that when you were working as a guard in the palace, you met and talked to the Crown Prince?"
The commander shook his head and moved the corner of his mouth, "The Crown Princess is my noble lady, if it weren't for her..."
"What would have happened if it wasn't her?" The guard swallowed, looking forward to it.
If it weren't for her, he might still be the little guard guarding the door in front of the Yizheng Palace. If she hadn't said that he should remember to follow the right master, how could he have dared to ask for help when she went to Dali Temple to rescue the empress of the dynasty, and became this superior after his meritorious service?
The commander of the guards guarding the capital?
He still remembered that after a certain court meeting, she smiled and said to herself: "The right choice will have corresponding rewards."
…
The commander of the guards took a deep breath, turned around and saw the obsessed and curious look on his subordinate's face, and immediately smiled, "Go back, I will ask someone to replace you. All you need to remember is that our Crown Prince and Crown Princess Concubine
, is someone we deserve to pursue throughout our lives.”
After saying that, the commander turned around and walked in the other direction.
The guard scratched his hair, responded, and handed over to the people next to him. However, when he left, he couldn't help but look back at the empty street again.
In fact, it does exist, but why is it... gone?
What the guard didn't know was that when he turned to leave, three figures who had already merged into the crowd on another street also looked back.
"How's it going? Did you tell me?" the tall and thin man said expressionlessly.
"I told you, but I don't believe it." The fat man smiled coquettishly and touched his nose. Maitreya's face looked a bit naive, "We have gone far, senior brother, don't worry."
Seeing that the two of them were so cautious, the woman walking on the left snorted softly, "What are you doing so cautiously? You are just a mortal. He sees it when he sees it. What can he do to us?"
The disdain in that tone was obviously condescending.
Hearing these words, the fat and kind-hearted man shrank his neck and turned his head to the side.
The thin man in the middle frowned for a moment and said with a serious face: "Zixu, I told you that when you come here, you must abide by the rules here. Don't reveal your identity unless you have to. What the elders said.
, have you forgotten all about it?”
Seeing how stern he was, the woman immediately curled her lips in aggrieved tone, "I haven't forgotten, just thinking about this journey that originally only took one day to fly, but made me walk for ten days, my legs are sore."
The slightly fat man muttered: "Where did you go? You were obviously in a carriage."
"You!" The woman stared.
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, the thin man's eyes sharpened, "Okay! Junior sister, she has never been to the mortal world. Zifeng, please don't say any more."
"Yes! Senior Brother Zichu!" Seeing the vague anger on his face, the man immediately stopped smiling and gradually became more serious.
Although the woman looked dissatisfied, she didn't say anything more.
Seeing that they were no longer noisy, the man nodded and glanced at the deserted street, "Let's find a place to rest first. Tomorrow we will start looking for the chess piece that the ancestor ordered. We only have one month in the mortal world. Now,
It’s been nearly half a month, so we need to speed up.”
"Yes." He said the mission, and the remaining two people also became serious.
The fat man suddenly frowned, "Senior brother said last time that he sensed the movement of the chess piece. How is it now?"
"Since that time, I can no longer sense it." The thin man was stunned for a moment, "It seems that he has lost his life."
Upon hearing this, the faces of the remaining two people suddenly became solemn, and their tone became a bit uncertain, "How could it be? What if..."
"It doesn't matter." The thin man sneered coldly, his eyes not wavering at all, "It's just a chess piece. If it's gone, it's gone. Just put it away. The top priority is to find the spiritual treasure and bring that mortal woman back.
