Chapter 1104: Applying for a Guard

Dong Cheng and Sima Lang reached a consensus that they would plot for Liu Xie.

The most fundamental intention of the current plan is to allow Liu Xie to save his life.

Sima Lang regarded Dong Cheng as the kind of fool mentioned by Sima Yi and was ready to sell Dong Cheng. Dong Cheng didn't know that Sima Lang, who seemed to be loyal, was a sinister villain.

On the morning of the next day, Liu Yu, Li Gui and others immediately left the inn. There were no surprises at the innkeeper, there were too many of them lately, and I don't know how many of his guests left early the next morning. Cao Jun's patrol came to inspect and collect bribes at every turn, and who dared to live here permanently. This is also the reason why the innkeeper has to charge the room money first.

After Liu Yu and the others cleaned up, they quickly left and moved to other places. And yesterday's Cao Jun patrol came to the inn not long after Liu Yu and the others left, and they directly pounced. Captain Cao was angry, he originally wanted to make another profit, but he didn't expect the other party to run so fast. However, it doesn't matter if the commander of the Cao army who has calmed down, as long as they are in Shouchun City, Liu Yu and they will not be able to escape, and they will be directly charged to the army when the time comes. Of course, at that time, the money on his body will be kept by Captain Cao and them first.

Well, if Liu Yu and Li Gui understood Captain Cao's true thoughts, they would already plan to attract this Cao Army's team to a remote place if they met again.

And Liu Yu and Li Gui have found a hiding place, which is a deserted mansion that no one lives in for unknown reasons. This is the place Liu Yu wants to find the most, and he doesn't care about anything and lives here.

Liu Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Zhong Yun, let's disperse now, secretly monitor every move in the palace, and gather here every night." ”

"Yes!" Li Gui and the others immediately came to the spirit.

Liu Yu pondered for a while and said: "Now that the Great General and their army are attacking Yuzhou, there must be restless people in Shouchun City, those who have been in contact with the dark department before, Zhong Yun and others should pay close attention." If you have the opportunity, you can reach out to them. ”

"Yes!" Li Gui and the others are equally obedient.

With a wave of his hand, Liu Yu asked the spies to go out immediately and find out all about Shouchun's situation.

Liu Yu got up by himself, he would not be idle, after all, it was the first time he came to Shouchun, and he also wanted to see what the situation was. Li Gui followed behind Liu Yu, anyway, wherever Liu Yu went, he followed.

Shouchun City is relatively stable, except for the relatively small flow of people, there are many Cao soldiers patrolling the streets, and there is no difference in others.

Liu Yu and Li Gui carefully observed the surrounding situation, and kept in mind the layout of the street and so on.

Unconsciously, Liu Yu and Li Gui arrived in Beicheng, where the Shouchun Palace is located.

"This is the palace, but it's no worse than Luoyang's." Liu Yu said with emotion.

Li Gui immediately explained: "Your Majesty, this palace was built by Yuan Shu before, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources. ”

Of course Liu Yu knew, Yuan Shu spent so much manpower and material resources, and in the end, it was in Liu Yu's hands, and he didn't enjoy much good life, and now this palace is in Liu Xie's hands, and Liu Xie is cheaper.

"Yuan Highway is very ambitious, but unfortunately his brain is not very flexible. If he and Yuan Shao join forces, it is still unknown who will sit in this country. Liu Yu sighed in his heart.

Suddenly, a large number of guards poured out of the palace and walked towards them, which made Li Gui startled.

Although Liu Yu was surprised, he was calm.

A guard shouted at Liu Yu and Li Gui, "What are you doing here? Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

It turned out that the target of the guards was not them, but Liu Yu and Li Gui blocking the way. Liu Yu and Li Gui immediately flashed to the side.

I saw a guard take out a big piece of parchment and paste it on the wall, and there were two big characters on the parchment. Liu Yu and Li Gui were standing in front of this wall just now, so they were reprimanded.

The guards all stood aside, and this behavior attracted the attention of many people, including Liu Yu.

"What is this?" Liu Yu approached.

After taking a closer look, Liu Yu knew why. Guards are recruited in the palace, as long as they are good citizens and have superb martial arts, they can become palace guards if they pass the assessment of Wang Yue, the former head of the palace.

"And such an operation?" Liu Yu was a little shocked.

In the Luoyang Imperial Palace, being a guard is not something that ordinary people can do, it is definitely the kind that requires a clean family background and absolute loyalty to Liu Yu. It is really a bit surprising to openly recruit outside the palace like this, and in Liu Yu's opinion, it is easy to mix in with spies.

Looking at Liu Yu's puzzled eyes, Li Gui quietly explained on the side: "Your Majesty, this Shouchun Palace is not as good as our Luoyang, there is no way to recruit guards like us." ”

Liu Yu understood. Liu Xie is a puppet in Cao Cao's place, almost the entire palace is Cao Cao's eyeliner, and a garrison like the guards cannot be selected in the army and in the minister's house like Liu Yu.

"The strange thing is that the job of a guard is to ensure the harvest in drought and flood, why didn't there be a strong man to apply?" Liu Yu is strange about this.

It stands to reason that the job of this guard is only to protect the safety of the palace and Liu Xie, but in the courtyard of the deep palace, there is no danger, you can go to and from work on time, and you can get your money on time. But none of the people who have watched the emperor's list are interested, and some people are still disdainful.

An old man heard Liu Yu's words and explained for Liu Yu: "Young man, this is the first time you have seen this thing. To tell you the truth, in Shouchun City, few people are willing to go to the palace to be guards. ”

"What's the reason for that?" Liu Yu wanted to know why.

The old man said directly: "Shouchun City said that it was the capital, but in fact, the prime minister was in charge. The identity of the palace guards is not as good as the soldiers patrolling the streets. And the assessment is also very strict. The old man heard that the former head of the palace, Lord Wang, was the number one swordsman in the world, and his requirements for the guards were extremely strict, and ordinary strong men couldn't pass through. But anyone who has a little martial arts, hehe, has gone to the prime minister's side. ”

Liu Yu understood, it turned out to be like this. And Liu Yu had an idea.

Li Gui was shocked, His Majesty would not apply for a job.

Sure enough, Liu Yu went over directly and asked, "Dare to ask where can I apply?" ”

A few guards originally thought that today was a vain, and every time they recruited guards, they almost returned in vain, but they didn't expect that there were still people willing to apply.

One of the leading guards glanced at Liu Yu, and he saw that Liu Yu was not an ordinary person, but had martial arts, so he arched his hand and said: "This strong man, if you are interested, please go to the left gate in front of the palace, where there is a place to register." ”

"Thank you!" Liu Yu smiled and turned in the direction the guard pointed.

Everyone watching around wondered how a man of Liu Yu's stature could be a guard.

Li Gui hurriedly stopped Liu Yu and said nervously: "Master, you really want to be a guard." ”

Liu Yu smiled and said, "This is nature. ”

"No, no!" Li Gui's head shook extremely quickly, and he said softly and nervously: "If it is seen, it will be over." Absolutely not. ”

Liu Yu directly pushed Li Gui away, and didn't talk nonsense with him at all.

Li Guigan is in a hurry.

Liu Yu quickly came to the palace gate, and found a guard sitting at a table at the small door on the left, presumably this was the one who signed up to be a guard.

And the guard was yawning, a little out of spirits.

Liu Yu went over and said to the guards: "Dare to ask, this is the place to sign up for the guards?" ”

Li Gui saw that Liu Yu had already gone up, and he was extremely helpless, but it was not good to hinder Liu Yu's actions, so as not to be punished by Liu Yu.

The guard, who was still yawning, glanced at Liu Yu, came to a little spirit, and said, "That's right, this is it." Do you want to sign up? ”

"Yes!" Liu Yu said affirmatively.

The guard glanced at Liu Yu, didn't find anything outstanding about Liu Yu, took out a bamboo slip, and asked, "Okay, what's your name?" Where are the people? ”

"My name is Yu Xuan, the word Boping, a person from Langya, Xuzhou. In his early years, he escaped the war and went to Song County, Yuzhou. Liu Yu took out his identity card and said the fabricated identity.

The guard glanced at the ID card and didn't see anything wrong, so he asked, "Who else is in the family?" Where do you live now? ”

"My parents have been lost, and I have a younger brother, but unfortunately I have been separated for many years. Recently, I just came to Shouchun and did not have a fixed place to live. This is Liu Yu's honest words, and when he said this, there was still a trace of sadness.

The guard felt this, and it seemed that what the other party said was true.

"Well, you wait over there for a while, and then you can meet the commander together when the other applicants come over. But then again, if you want to fish in troubled waters, the commander is skillful, and you can try it out at once. Do you understand? The guard said.

Liu Yu arched his hand and said with a smile: "Yes! ”

Liu Yu went to the cool place set up next to the registration office to rest.

At this time, Li Gui walked to the registration office without saying a word, and said with a smile: "This military master, I came to sign up." ”

"Huh? You? The guards looked Li Gui up and down, although Li Gui also changed his appearance in disguise, but the obscenity on his body could not be changed.

"Forget it. If you're a detrimental to the image of the guards, don't get in the way here. The guards directly rejected Li Gui.

Li Gui is very dissatisfied, what is it to damage the image of the guards, we are a sideways character in Luoyang.

But in order to protect Liu Yu, Li Gui could only say cheekily: "This military master, the little one has martial arts. I am with the one who just now. ”

"Just your body, and martial arts? Who are you fooling! Do you have nowhere to eat and want to eat at the palace? Get out, hurry up, or don't blame me for being unkind. "The guards are a little unkind, the palace guards don't have any prestige in Shouchun, but not everyone can come, like this guy who doesn't look like a good person, if he accepts the registration, he won't scold the commander to death.

"You! Act like a snob! "Li Gui really can't stand it.

"Bastard! Look for death! The guards broke out on the spot, and being a guard is the dog of the palace, and he recognized this. But when Li Gui said it to his face, he touched the bottom line of the guards.

The guards were all carrying knives, and as soon as they pulled out their knives, they slashed at Li Gui.

Li Gui has practiced martial arts for many years, and has also performed many tasks with Liu Yu, with strong martial arts, although he can't beat the generals in the army, it is more than enough to deal with small guards.

Liu Yu sat on the side and looked at Li Gui, he was really speechless for Li Gui, he had been the leader of the "dark department" for so many years, and he didn't have a city government at all. It's not like being despised for a while, and you don't have to do it like this.

Li Gui dodged, directly dodged the guard's attack, and then took a step forward, and a hand knife hit the guard's wrist, directly snatching the knife in the guard's hand.

Li Gui casually put the blade on the guard's neck, and said coldly: "If you move again, don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

The guards didn't expect Li Gui to have such good martial arts at all, he was also a little underestimated, but now it's okay, and he slapped his face properly.

"Stop! Before the palace, who dares to come nonsense?! A large man in armor strode over.

Liu Yu was attracted by the voice, and it turned out to be Liu Yu's acquaintance, Wang Yue's eldest disciple Shi A.

Li Gui knew Shi A, and he was very worried that he would be recognized, so he took back the knife, threw it on the ground, and said dissatisfiedly: "Those who judge people by their appearance, forgive me for not accompanying them." ”

As soon as Shi A heard it, coupled with the guard's embarrassed appearance and Li Gui's obscene temperament, he immediately understood something, it must have been the guard's sarcasm that led to a big fight. People who practice martial arts are bloody and strong, and they can't tolerate sarcasm from others, and it is normal to draw swords against each other.

"This strong man is slow!" Shi Ah said hurriedly.

Li Gui said coldly: "What? Are you trying to stand up for this kid?! ”

"The strong man misunderstood. There is a heroic spirit between the gestures of the next moment, and he must not be an ordinary person. It was all because of the lax discipline, which led to some misunderstandings. Please don't keep it in mind. Shi Ah said softly.

"Since that's the case, then I'll go down." Li Gui understood what Shi A meant, but he would not be so obedient to Shi A's heart, and came to retreat as advance.

Shi Ah said again: "Dare to ask if you are applying for a guard?" Among the guards, there is a need for a master like Zushita. ”

Li Gui tilted his head and said dissatisfiedly: "Need? Wouldn't someone like me tarnish the image of the guard? ”

Shi Ah understood that it was all made by this guard, and immediately glared at him.

Now the guard knew what he had done wrong, and he kept his head down and did not dare to speak.

"The breath under the feet is hidden, ordinary people can't see it, if you want to find another job, you don't force it." Shi Ah didn't force Li Gui too much to join the guards.
