Volume 10 Chapter 159

Tang Yin sat on the bed and sighed in his heart. It seemed that it would be difficult to sleep peacefully tonight. TXT download. He looked at Guo Jue, who was standing with his head bowed at the door of the room, and asked feebly: "What's the matter with you?"

"Reporting to His Highness Feng Wang, since Xiaoren has been appointed as the city lord, shouldn't he also be assigned some subordinates to Xiaoren for deployment?" Guo Jie asked.

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows. He was not satisfied with having made him the city lord, so he shamelessly asked for his subordinates? Before he could speak, Guo Jue said like a barrage: "Once word spreads about Xiaoren, the titular city lord, it will have a great impact on the reputation of His Highness Feng Wang. After all, His Highness Feng Wang doesn't want to be rumored." Say one thing on the surface and do another behind the scenes, right?”

Tang Yin was not a person who was good at words at first, and there was nothing he could do when he met a person 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: "How many subordinates do you want?"

"Ah, well..." Guo Jue really didn't think about how many subordinates he should have. He hesitated while thinking about it: "Xiaoren thinks, two..."

"I have assigned two thousand troops to your disposal. If you have nothing else to do, go out and read the full text!" After speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand impatiently and said to Ah San: "Ah San, you go 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 two thousand soldiers to him 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 making mistakes. In addition, Wanfang City has been occupied by the Feng Army, and 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 mind.

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 mobilization like two thousand soldiers does not require Tang Yin to come forward in person. Ah San only needs to bring Tang Yin's letter to handle it. He picked out two formations of soldiers from the 10th Corps of the directly affiliated army, selected one of the captains as the main generals, and asked him to obey Guo Jue's orders.

When Guo Jue wasn't paying attention, Ah San did not forget to add quietly: "Once you discover 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 captains 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 captains, Zhang Shun and Li Tian, ​​both wondered if they had heard wrongly. Why were they going to Laifu Tea House to conduct surveys in the middle of the night? Exploring lonely souls and wild ghosts? Neither of them wanted to go, but they couldn't resist Guo Jue's repeated requests, so they had to select a hundred soldiers and follow him to Laifu Tea House.

When they arrived at the entrance of Laifu Teahouse, Zhang Shun and Li Tian said they would not go in. They pointed at the door of the teahouse and said: "Guo Chengzhu, if you want to enter, you can do it yourself. We will not enter this kind of haunted house even if we are beaten to death." of."

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, then you can do it yourself Go and have fun!"

Guo Jue looked around at everyone, 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 gathered around Zhang Shun and Li Tian and asked: "Brother Zhang, Brother Li, this kid is really a If people 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 emerged from the teahouse like a thief. Seeing this, people came forward one after another, looking at Guo Jue one by one, and asked in all directions: "Master Guo, are you okay?" There was no trace of fear on Guo Jue's face, but rather... Smiling confidently, he 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're lucky enough to be my subordinates. When I solve the case, I'll share your share of the credit!"

Yo! These words made everyone's eyes light up. If Guo Jue could help him make meritorious deeds, they would have to fawn over him. Zhang Shun swallowed and said, "I just asked the city lord to go survey alone. I'm really sorry. Where else are you going, lord the city lord? This time I go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire. Brother, I 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!"

flutter! 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 stroll around the city lord's palace. Whether they knew him or not, he saw 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 halt.

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 little captain who was 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 holding the sword as a token of authority! Brother! Let’s continue patrolling and ignore him!”

The guards all rolled their eyes and walked past Guo Jue in a majestic manner. As the king's bodyguards, they were even more arrogant than the direct army. Not to mention that the city lord Guo Jie was just showing up. Even if a real city lord came, they would not take it seriously.

Guo Jue didn't care 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 sergeants directly behind him couldn't stand it anymore. They put their hot face on someone else's cold butt. Isn't this humiliating themselves?

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 more energetic and asked one after another: "City Lord, how can we catch them?"

Guo Jue said mysteriously: "You just listen to my orders. No matter what orders I give, you do what 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: "Thank you for your hard work, brothers!"

"Mogou! If you get in the way again, 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, and was met with either cold looks or scoldings. In the end, even he couldn't bear it anymore and muttered: "It seems that the feng shui here is not right. We need to change the place."

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 face of the other party.

It was noon, and Guo Jue was about to go to eat. 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 guards were stunned and looked at Guo Jue with a frown. The leader of the team, the captain, asked: "Are you..."

ah! Finally, I met someone who didn’t recognize me! 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, disrespectful!" The guard captain politely bowed his hands and planned to continue patrolling with his men. More, just now - Tang Yin is in another world

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 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 how could he know who Lu Wen was. He reacted quickly, and while rolling his eyes, he already said: "This is just a small matter. There is no need to trouble General Lu. Your Majesty also mentioned it to me by the way."

The captain of the guard smiled and nodded in response: "That's right! It's really just a small thing!" As he spoke, he patted his head and thought for a while, then said: "The brothers who committed the crime yesterday should be from the seventh formation. "..." He turned around and asked his subordinates: "Do you remember which team you are from?"

"It's Zhao Laohu and his gang from the third team!" a guard said nonchalantly. More, just now - Tang Yin is in another world

"Yes! He's from Tiger's team. I can't remember their specific names. Mr. Guo, please ask the other brothers!" The guard captain shrugged and walked away with his men.
