Now that the transfer order came down, although Chu Huan was full of doubts, he could only accept the order.

Someone from the headquarters led Chu Huan to the Ximen Office overnight. Chu Huan didn't know where the Ximen Office was. Talking to that person on the way, he knew that there were six squares in the West City, and there happened to be [-] offices in Ximen Office. It is the one closest to the west gate of the imperial city, so it is called Ximen Department.

Chu Huan heard that the Ximen Office was the closest to the imperial city, so he thought it was probably a special arrangement for him to get close to the imperial city, but when the leader talked about the Ximen Office, he had a weird smile on his face, and Chu Huan naturally It was also discovered, and I didn't point it out, but I also felt in my heart that this person didn't say something thoroughly.

In the middle of the night, while crossing the streets and alleys, Chu Huan faintly saw a huge silhouette appearing in front of him. The black and oppressive momentum made people feel a sense of invisible oppression.

Chu Huan knew that it was the imperial city.

The imperial city is a city within a city. Around the imperial city, there are deep ditches about two meters wide. Water accumulates in it all year round. The ditch surrounding the imperial city is the moat of the imperial city. There are only four gates in the imperial city. There are jade bridges built, and the four jade bridges are like four jade belts. Outside the bridge is the square outside the city. Within five miles, there are no residential buildings, only smooth stone fields, and a row of archways stretching along the jade bridge. , there are archways erected every twenty steps. The archways stand tall, with pictures of auspicious animals and birds on them, which is very spectacular.

The imperial city seemed very quiet at night, only the lanterns hung on the head of the imperial city, like stars.

Although Chu Huan could see it, it was still far away from the imperial city. This was the first time he saw the imperial city of the Great Qin Empire. Although it was a little far away, he still felt the domineering majesty at the core of the empire. Still a little excited.

When he arrived at the Ximen Office, Chu Huan realized that the Ximen Office was really on the edge of the Ximen Square in the imperial city, and it was really only a few miles away from the imperial city.

The Ximen Office is a small official office, much smaller than the Xicheng General Camp, but it also has a courtyard. Chu Huan watched from the outside, but the courtyard is not big. The word "Ximen Office" is written on the door, but the door is open. Then, two Wujing guards stood in front of the door, and when they saw two horses approaching, they both held the handles of their sabers, and someone shouted, "Who is it?"

The leader had already dismounted from his horse and said, "The general battalion sent people over."

The two soldiers looked at each other and frowned, and one soldier muttered: "There are enough people here, what else should I send here?" But he didn't dare to speak loudly. : "Wait, I'll go in and report, I'm afraid the chief is still sleeping."

The leader pointed to Chu Huan and said, "This is sent by Mr. Zongqi himself. I have already brought him here. Let the head of the Zhao Department arrange it. I will go back and return!" Without saying much, he got on his horse and raised his whip. and go.

A soldier said to Chu Huan, "You're not bad, you still have a horse." He came forward and said, "Tie the horse to the stable with me first, and then I'll take you to see the chief."

Immediately, he led Chu Huan to a stable at the back, and placed the big black horse in the stable. The soldier led Chu Huan back to the main entrance, and another soldier said: "The chief is waiting inside, you go in."

Chu Huan went in with the package and found that the yard was very clean. There were two houses on the left and right, and a main hall facing the gate. Entering the main hall, a soldier was waiting for a person to wash his face. The man was not tall, with a bare upper body, muscular muscles, and two scars on his back. He looked like he had been in war.

The person who washed his face looked back at Chu Huan, pointed to a chair next to him, and said in a gentle voice, "Sit first, wait until I wash my face, I just got up."

Chu Huan cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, boss."

He knew that the person who washed his face was most likely the head of the Ximen Department.

The man washed his face and dried it with a towel, then he pulled the clothes next to him and put them on, and asked outside the door, "What time is it?"

"Shutou, just arrived at Haishi."

"Oh!" Zhao Shutou buttoned up his clothes while walking towards Chu Huan, and said with a smile, "It's still early. By the way, you were sent by the headquarters?" He sat down at the table and gave himself After pouring a cup of tea, Chu Huan had already handed over the transfer order stamped with the seal of the General Banner. Zhao Shu took it, looked at it while drinking tea, and said, "Your name is Chu Huan? Well, since it is the order of the General Banner, From today onwards, you will stay here on business."

Chu Huan saw that Zhao Shutou was in his early thirties, with pale eyebrows, thin lips, and small eyes, but he looked a little kind when he smiled. He cupped his hands and said, "Please take care of Zhao Shutou in the future."

Zhao Shu nodded and said with a smile: "From now on, I will be my brother, my name is Zhao Yang...!" He called out, "Is Wang Fu here?"

Soon a person came in, cupped his hands and said: "Shutou, your name is young?" This person is 27 or [-] years old, with a horse face, but his eyes are not much bigger than soybeans.

Zhao Shu pointed at Chu Huan and said, "This is the new brother named Chu Huan. You take him down to rest first. Please take some time to talk to him about the rules in the department."

Wang Fu hurriedly said, "I understand."

Zhao Shu head smiled at Chu Huan and said: "Chu Huan, you go with Wang Fu, he is a veteran of the Ximen Department, if you need anything, you can ask him more."

Chu Huan said yes, but he was still a little depressed. His official position seemed to be getting smaller and smaller.

Wang Fu led Chu Huan out, went straight to a row of houses in the middle of the courtyard, pushed open a door, and said to Chu Huan, "There are just two vacant beds here, you can choose which one you want to sleep in." Which one." He entered the room by himself, lit the lamp, and the room suddenly lit up.

The moment Chu Huan entered the room, he smelled a rancid smell and sweat. There were four beds in the room, all of which were very narrow, and two of them had dirty bedding , the remaining two were empty without even a sheet, but the four beds were empty, Chu Huan was surprised, Wang Fu already said: "I live here, and Song Ci also lives here, but That kid has a patrol tonight and is out, you can choose one of the two, and then go to Curry with me to ask for a bedding."

Chu Huan put down his burden and asked, "Brother Wang, how many people are there in our office?"

"Thirty people." Wang Fu glanced at Chu Huan and said, "There are twenty departments in the western city. Where is it difficult for you to go? Why did you come here? To be honest, did you offend someone?"

Chu Huan was taken aback, and wondered: "My little brother just reported to the headquarters tonight, and then he was sent here, and he didn't offend anyone." But he felt strange in his heart, why he was sent to the Ximen Office because he offended someone ?This Ximen office is very close to the imperial city, so it should be a good place, but in Wang Fu's tone, he seemed a little dissatisfied with being in the Ximen office?

Wang Fu said "oh", stopped talking, sat down and said, "there are actually not many rules in the department. You should remember the most important ones. You start early every day, and you can't miss it. When you get an order, you have to obey it honestly, and you don’t have to ask anything. Also, when you work in the Ximen Office, unlike other offices, you should try to talk as little as possible. Our Ximen Office’s cross mantra is to bow your head first when you meet people, and draw your sword less when you do things. Keep it in mind!"

"Bow your head first when you meet people, and draw your sword less when you do things?" Chu Huan read it again, looking at Wang Fu with some doubts.

Chu Huan also stayed in the capital for several days. He didn't see any of the dignitaries, but Wu Jingwei saw quite a few.

During the few days when he stayed in Huiyuan Inn, he saw that Wu Jingwei in the market were all arrogant, holding their hands on the handle of their knives, walking on the street, almost looking at people with their chins, and all of them were majestic. It is "raise your head first when meeting people, and draw your sword when doing things." Now Ximen Office is also the official office of Wu Jingwei. Why are the rules here completely different?

Wang Fu didn't seem to want to explain too much, and led Chu Huan to the warehouse to get the bedding and rest.

Chu Huan had not slept for a few hours, and it was still dark the next day. All the soldiers from the Ximen Department gathered in the yard to receive the injection. Chu Huan had just arrived, and everyone looked at him with strange eyes. Various meanings can be seen in those eyes, but the most is sympathy.

After the appointment, Zhao Yang, the head of the department, asked Wang Fu to lead Chu Huan to familiarize himself with the area under the responsibility of the Ximen Department. There are no shops in these two streets, but the mansions of officials, patrolling the two streets, passing by gorgeous carriages, and most of the people walking are dressed in rich clothes, even the people of those mansions The servants were also well dressed, and when they saw a carriage passing by on the road, Wang Fu would pull Chu Huan aside, bow his body and lower his head, and salute the carriage.

Turning down the two streets, Chu Huan saw that the Wujing guards patrolling these two streets did not have the arrogance and domineering spirit of the soldiers in Baitongfang. If the soldiers there were all uncles, then the soldiers here in Ximen Department It can only be the grandson.

At this moment, Chu Huan finally understood the true meaning of Ximenshu's cross mantra.

Bow your head first when you meet people, and draw your sword less when doing things!

In such a place, the people you meet are either rich or noble, and everyone is famous. How can the soldiers of Wu Jingwei offend these people?How can you not bow your head when you see these people?

Chu Huan turned two streets away, feeling suffocated in his heart. He only wanted to see King Qi sooner. The Ximen Department himself must not wait for a long time. To die of anger, bowing his head and bowing to salute people every day, this is far from Chu Huan's own temperament.

"Do you know where the brothers in the Ximen Office come from?" During the lunch break, Wang Fu led Chu Huan to sit and rest in an alley: "Tell you, there are two kinds of people who work in the Ximen Office. The higher-ups, being transferred here, are actually being punished and punished, and the second is that they are not filial to the higher-ups, and the higher-ups are not pleasing to the eye, so they are sent here."

Chu Huan frowned. He thought to himself that he had no grievances with Zhang Douli, the head of the Xicheng General Camp. Why did he send himself here?I remember that night was a bit weird, Zhang Douli said that he would make arrangements the next day, but he hurriedly called himself out that night.
