The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 207 Guards
"General, this is..." Guo Yu opened his mouth and was about to refuse.

Changsun Ji waved his hand and said: "Sir, don't refuse, I specially picked this from the warehouse. It is just right to give to Mr. Yu. If you don't want it, then throw it away. When the gift I gave to others has not been taken back .”

Guo Yu saw that the grandson Ji was firm, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.

Afterwards, Changsun Ji talked to Guo Yu for a few words, and when he saw a little tiredness on Guo Yu's face, he got up and left. Now Guo Yu's body can't support him to talk with people for a long time.

After returning from Guo Yu's residence, Changsun Ji went to inspect the city gate again.Before the city defense was in the hands of Dongwuyang defenders, it was not easy for Changsun Ji to intervene, but now that Dongwuyang was under his control, he naturally wanted to defend the city walls everywhere.

After inspecting the city defense, it was already noon.When Changsun Ji was about to return home, he suddenly heard mourning not far away.

Changsun Ji stopped and listened for a while, feeling that the voice of mourning and joy was getting louder.Knowing that the other party was coming towards the city gate behind him, Changsun Ji waved his hand to let the guards around him disperse.

All of my party were riding horses, which already blocked half of the road. If they didn't disperse, the oncoming mourners would definitely have trouble getting through.

For this kind of head-on meeting with the mourning team, there is no one who would choose not to avoid it, which already makes people feel unlucky.It would be even more unlucky if they were stopped head-on, so they usually choose to avoid it and wait for the mourning team to pass before proceeding.
Changsun Ji heard it right, and not long after, a group of people dressed in filial piety, playing mourning music, and carrying a black wooden coffin, weeping and thinking about going to the city gate.

The size of the funeral team is not small, there are always two hundred people.

After the mourning team passed by, Changsun Ji and his party did not stop, and were about to leave.Changsun Ji heard someone from the side ask: "Whose funeral team is this. The scale looks really big."

"Who else is there, Xu Jiabai in the west of the city. I heard that the young man didn't put the oil lamp in place, and the fire went off, directly burning the master of Xu's family to death. The fire that burned last night can be done ten miles away." I can see."

"Last night? The fire that caught fire last night was his house. It was so powerful that the fire was put out only this morning."

"That's right, it's too powerful."

There were miscellaneous voices coming from all around.

"What's wrong? The one burned to death last night, why is there a funeral today?"

"That's right? Why is that? Poor people try to find a way to stay for three days. His Xu family has a lot of money, and at least they have to stay for ten to fifteen days. Why do they have to have a funeral on the second day?"

"Hey, you guys don't know this. I heard from others that when the master of the Xu family was rescued from the fire, he was directly burned into a mummy. I didn't expect that he stood up in the lobby this morning and walked away. The Xu family is afraid of something unclean, so they hurried out of the funeral today." One person said mysteriously.

"Mr. Hu, just talk nonsense. It's not as evil as what you said. I heard that it was because the master of the Xu family died too suddenly and did not make a will. The two sons of the Xu family are fighting for the family property, so there is no time to open a will." The mourning hall, that's why the master of the Xu family went directly to the funeral the next day." Another man standing beside him opened his mouth and said.

"You're just farting. Is your news accurate? My neighbor's brother-in-law's second uncle works for the master of the Xu family. When the master of the Xu family got up this morning, he saw it with his own eyes." Mr. Hu San shouted at the man who contradicted him.

After a few words, the two started arguing. If it weren't for the obstruction of people around, the two would have started fighting.

Naturally, Changsun Ji didn't care about these things. After hearing what they said, he rode away directly. He knew the master Xu that the common people said, and he was the middle-aged businessman who came to see him last night.

Last night, the middle-aged businessman died in a fire, and the fat businessman died of a sudden illness when he was fused with his wife.

Someone reported the case to Yamen early this morning.

Back at the Sheriff's Mansion, Changsun Ji had just had lunch when someone informed him that General Guo asked to see him.

Changsun Ji nodded and summoned Guo Dingxin.

Guo Dingxin came in from outside the house. After greeting Changsun Ji, he looked at Changsun Ji and said with a smile, "Hey, General, you've been doing well recently."

Hearing Guo Dingxin's question, Changsun Ji was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why this guy came up to ask this question.But still replied: "Very good."

"Oh, that worked out pretty well."

"It's pretty smooth."

"then you……"

"Stop, stop, stop, what exactly do you want to say, don't whine about it, it's like being possessed by an evil spirit." Changsun Ji said angrily.Now he has come to his senses, looking at Guo Dingxin's face with a smile wider than a chrysanthemum, he knows that this guy must have asked him for something.

"Hey, what can I do, don't I just want to do something for the general?" Guo Dingxin smiled attentively.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and leave quickly if you don't say anything. If you are really bored, I will give you a task to run around the city three times with bare buttocks." Changsun Ji said angrily.

"Hey, General, I feel that you are very imposing."

"How to say?"

"Look, general. You are our great general anyway. You don't have a guard around you when you go out on weekdays. You are so weak that you seem to have no momentum." Guo Dingxin looked around with his eldest grandson on his shoulders, shaking his head all the time. , said with a "tsk tut" in his mouth.

"Your skin is itchy again, isn't it?" Changsun Ji saw that he was in need of a beating, so he stepped forward and kicked his ass.He cursed with a smile in his mouth.

Guo Dingxin dodged and dodged.Shouted to Changsun Ji: "General, I am doing this for your own good, don't you be ignorant of good people."

"Fart, why doesn't I know good people? I already have personal guards by my side, what do I need guards for? If you play tricks on me again, I will order someone to strip you naked and run around the city for three days. Circle." Changsun Ji scolded Guo Dingxin.

"Don't, general, am I worried about your safety? Besides, I'm still a general under your command. If I'm stripped naked, your face won't look good, right?"

"Why, you don't want to lead the army anymore, you want to be my bodyguard?" Changsun Ji glanced at Guo Dingxin and asked.

"Hey, it's not me. I'm not suitable for this kind of work. I'm a good guy with a good body. It's no problem to block a gun or a knife for the general." Guo Dingxin said with a smile.
