Rogue with a knife on the right

jingle jingle--

The bell on the mule's neck rang.

Huadao opened the small door and let in the animal loaded with rice.Half of the outside street was exposed in the door frame, and rickshaws were passing by, but on the other side of the road, there was a tall and straight figure standing impressively.

Gray suit, round glasses, beckoning to him.

When Huadao finally slipped out, the tea on Wu Lingnan's table was already cold.

"Did you guys do what happened a few days ago?" Hua Dao grabbed a newspaper, and the news still occupied the front page: Mr. Fu Tian was assassinated, and Qingdengwei was ambushed.

Big letters in bold black.

"No." Wu Lingnan said, "Maybe it's a spy from the Northern Kingdom or the Puppet Yan Kingdom. I'm here this time to ask you about this—"

"I'm just a farmer, and the sun and the moon are my mirrors. I really don't know anything."

"Still farming after half a year?" Wu Lingnan sighed.

"Forget it, I still asked for some information." Huashima took out a note from his pocket and pushed it over: "But it's almost as you guessed, now the team has been discussing the North Kingdom."

"What special actions have you been doing recently?"

Huashima shook his head: "Brother Ang, I don't know anything about this...Let's be honest, I may not be suitable for this job..."

Wu Lingnan smiled and said, "What? Are you starting to feel pain?"

Amber eyes flickered, and he spat out the melon seed shell: "No." It was heartless.

"I know the system of the Blue Lantern Guard. All important internal information is controlled by the chief, captain, and staff. In fact, I don't expect too much from you."

"..."

"You only need to provide me with the most detailed information, such as the number of oil lamps, whether there are more horses, the change of night time... and so on."

Hua Dao rubbed his chin: "That's something to say. After autumn, three horses and two pigs were added. Recently, the pigs were dragged out and cut, and the vegetables were almost harvested. People began to stand guard on the sentry tower regularly. The water in the pond It has become clearer, the uncle in the cafeteria made so many steamed cakes that there was not enough rice to eat."

"Where's Director Jin?"

"Go out early and return late. However, the captain rarely goes out and stays in the house all the time."

The pen glides across the clean notebook, blue-black ink.Wu Lingnan recorded it carefully, and finally raised his head, showing a smile that must be won: "Just wait and see, there will be important people coming to visit the Qingdengwei soon."

Even if it is a reckless flower island, I have to admire Mr. Wu's ingenuity.

A few days after this, Director Jin announced to everyone that King Yao would come to Heze in nine days.

As soon as the news came out, there was a lot of noise from the Qingdeng Guard up and down.For the first time, Huashima saw the vitality of this team.

In order to welcome King Yao, the director activated the "horse riding platform" that had been idle for a long time, and the next step was the cleaning work of the working people in full swing.

Finally walked out of the vegetable garden, the sky was high and the earth was wide, Huadao held a bamboo pole, fully armed, poked the spider web under the eaves with old man Situ, shook his body with ashes, and choked until tears filled his eyes.

The soldiers were all dressed in white casual clothes, and their figures intertwined.It was only then that Huadao discovered that there were quite a few fifteen or sixteen-year-old boyish youths in the Qingdeng Guard. They often started to fight for no reason, chasing the other and running away until one side pressed the other to the ground and finished cleaning up. .Huadao looked at this group of bright young people, and his mood became lighter-his fifteen or sixteen years old was blank, and he couldn't remember it at all.

In addition to teenagers, of course, muscular men are indispensable.Their burly bodies were somehow assigned the task of pasting window grilles, and several times they showed the unloved expressions of samurai before seppuku.By the pond, there is the "feminine faction" represented by the chief of staff, picking up fallen leaves while mourning the spring and autumn; the one who wipes the floor is a rare hard-working young man, and he will steal some snacks during breaks, chatting about the capital. Courtesan.

As for Huadao - he belongs to the rare breed, the sunset red school.

Always act with the old man, no noise, no fuss, no jumping, people are as calm as a chrysanthemum, and the years are quiet and good.

Years stabbed his spider web quietly.

At this time, when he looked up, he saw Han Jingye again.

The man stood at the window on the second floor, dressed in black, with a strange look.

His gaze swept across the courtyard and was about to land on Huadao when the old man slammed him with a stick.

"Why are you in a daze? Work!"

"Ah, oh." He recovered.Not long after, he couldn't help but glance up again, but Han Jingye was no longer there.

Just like that, nine days later, King Yao's sedan chair arrived as scheduled.

Woke up early in the morning, hurriedly dressed, tied hair, made the bed, kicked unwashed socks directly under the bed, stuffed dirty clothes into the cabinet, and rushed to the gate with everyone in a hurry.

It's not as extravagant and luxurious as imagined, the sedan chair is the most common sedan chair, Yao Wang Xie Zhaoxuan retreated the people who were about to come to help him, and walked out of the sedan chair by himself - it turned out to be an extremely handsome man.

Although it is over half a hundred, the heroic spirit between his brows has not been reduced by half, carrying the wind and dust of galloping on the battlefield.

"His Royal Highness Yaowang." Han Jingye saluted.

"You don't need to be so restrained." Yao Wang patted him on the back, and rubbed the back of his head along the way: "I haven't seen you for a year, and you've grown taller again?"

It is like the polite words of the elders in the family greeting children during the Chinese New Year. For Han Jingye, who is in his 20s, this question is blunt and embarrassing.

I saw him twitching the corner of his mouth slightly: "You are joking."

Huashima couldn't help but burst out laughing, but fortunately the environment was noisy and didn't attract attention.

Bells and drums are playing, colorful flags are fluttering, and the riding platform has been completely cleaned and looks brand new, glamorous.

There are three colorful futons on the Daguan Pavilion in the north, Yao Wang sits in the center, Han Jingye and Jin Sankai are on the left and right, and several team members serve tea and pastries carefully, not to disturb the interest of the adults, but also afraid of not taking good care of them .

The two blue lantern guards on the riding stage swung their swords at each other, and the sound of the clash of swords stimulated people's nerves, which was extremely enjoyable.

"Okay!" Huashima liked to applaud enthusiastically, with some street manners.Situ hurriedly pressed him down, making a silent gesture.

"Only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps?" Hua Dao pointed to the Daguan Pavilion, confidently: "Look, Yao Wang and the others are also applauding very happily."

"That's King Yao."

"It's the captain, he doesn't smile much." Picking up a grape and throwing it into his mouth, "What's the relationship between the captain and King Yao? They seem quite familiar."

"Can't tell, Yao Wang is his uncle, his direct relative."

A green lantern guard in front turned his head and glared at them: "It's troublesome."

"Let's talk, what's the problem." Huashima smiled and handed over a plate of grapes, and gradually, he also bewitched the surrounding young men. Everyone gathered together and chatted about the past of their captain. .

If you don't dig, you don't know. Han Jingye, for one thing, actually has a lot of melons.

"This morning I was holding back my laughter and almost suffocated. His Royal Highness Yao Wang has been our captain all this time." One person said.

The other immediately echoed: "Yeah, he also said that he has grown taller... Hahahahaha I saw the captain's face turned green on the spot."

Huashima was startled: So I'm not alone!It seems that Yaowang's head is really lacking.

"The captain stayed in the palace for a while when he was young, and he had a good relationship with King Yao, but later on, he didn't even want to call 'uncle'." The old man stroked his beard.

"What happened in the middle?"

"It's because of the crown prince." Elder Situ, who has the most right to speak on this old melon, said in a low voice, "When the queen mother planned to abolish the crown prince, she asked King Yao to lead five hundred elite soldiers to encircle the East Palace. gone."

"No wonder! I heard from my mother that the ex-prince is very close to our captain, like brothers."

Huashima continued to eat grapes and couldn't stop.

"In the past, King Yao took the crown prince to play with Jing Ye, and the little emperor now, riding horses and shooting arrows on the grassland together." The old man sighed: "After the crown prince died, they dispersed. So, The most ruthless emperor's family."

"Uncle Situ, how do you know so much?"

He smiled lightly, revealing a few yellow teeth, with a feeling of "letting things go, hiding merit and fame".

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Jiannan, come up and compare with Xiao Huang!"

The smile of the boy who was chatting with Huadao just now disappeared instantly, his whole body trembled, and he whispered: "Fuck it."

I am not afraid of the sky, I am not afraid of the earth, but I am most afraid of the sudden inspection of the leader.

Over there, Director Shang Jin urged again: "Speed ​​up!"

The boy had no choice but to pat his buttocks to stand up and walk onto the riding platform.

The man had already stood still, and Hua Dao looked at his back, only to realize that the kid had taken his tattered rusty knife by mistake!

No one can use this rusty knife except him, it will shatter if touched by other people's hands, it is no different from scrap copper and rotten iron.

Before he had time to think, Hua Dao rolled up his clothes and rushed to the stage.

There are ten steps in total, he ran very fast, the sun pierced into his eyes, and he was in a trance.In short, the moment the knife was handed to the boy, he also realized that he was being exposed to the blue sky and the eyes of everyone.

It's like a mouse jumped into the middle of the street.

There's a hint of... panic.

Not far away, King Yao frowned slightly.

Although the man who suddenly rushed up to the horse-riding platform was shrouded in the morning light, his brows and eyes were still vaguely discernible - his expression was very similar to that of Kai Feng in the past.

If he can grow to this age, he will probably look like this.

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Huashima exchanged knives with the boy, saluted the big guys sitting around, and hurriedly left the stage with an awkward smile.

King Yao's eyes followed the past: "Was that person just now...?"

Han Jingye picked up a cup of hot tea and said nothing.

"Ah, he was recruited half a year ago. I tried the sword." Jin Sankai said, "I was quite impressed, because he had never heard of Xi Lan's sword style. He is quite an arrogant guy."

"Is that so...is there any role in the team now?"

"Let him go to the vegetable garden," Han Jing said at night.

King Yao pondered for a moment, then ordered his attendants: "Call him over."

"What are you going to do?" Alert.

"Call here." King Yao shook his hand at the hesitant attendant.

He understood why Jing Ye hid such a person in the Blue Lantern Guard.Sometimes, Yaowang acts like a child, trying his best to make up for the irreparable past, regardless of whether the other party can bear it.

In his eyes, Han Jingye will always be the young man with a bow and arrow and a white horse in green clothes crossing the grassland.When he was a child, he cried and cried, and he only needed a candied haws to calm him down. Now...

Now, no more crying.

But Yao Wang still persisted in thinking that he could be coaxed well, if the candied haws were not good, he would just change it to something else, it would definitely work...

Sometimes, he is also a humble man.

Hua Dao, who didn't know what happened, came to King Yao and knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness Yao Wang."

"Excuse me, get up and sit down."

Hua Dao became more and more confused, and instinctively told him that this matter was definitely related to Han Jingye—could it be that the fact that he had slept with him was discovered?No way.

"Where are you from?" Yao Wang asked gently.

"Uh..." Quickly glanced at Han Jingye, and then replied, "Penglai Island in the East China Sea."

"It's quite far."

"Yes."

"I heard you work in the vegetable garden?"

"Ah."

Picking up his chin to look around, let go: "Then I will name you as Captain Han's surname now, would you like it?"

Small surname, that is, the personal attendant of a noble warrior.In Qingdengwei, the small surname of a big man also has a hint of the default successor.

What King Yao meant was to give the flower island to Han Jingye.

Before Huadao had time to be surprised, Han Jingye had already put his teacup down and said sharply, "His Royal Highness, I will be in charge of organizing the staffing of the Green Lantern Guard."

The implication is, you, don't interfere.

"Your Highness, Director Jin's two surnames have followed the Qingdeng Guard for more than eight years and have made great achievements in military affairs. Even if His Highness appreciates this person again, he cannot ignore the law and promote him at will." Han Jingye said in an official tone, and then restrained himself Changing his attitude, he nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness, please think twice."

Hua Dao sat upright, not daring to move.Xiao Xing's job will definitely push him to the forefront, and his identity as an "informant" will no longer be hidden.Han Jingye was unwilling, and he was even more unwilling. It was rare for the two to reach a consensus.

Behind him, the warrior in the corner cast a glance.

King Yao raised his sword eyebrows, and said, "Haha, I'm just kidding. It's fine if you don't want to." Waved to Huadao: "Let's go."

Hua Dao obediently made a big kneeling salute: "I will take my leave."
