I'm not a god of wine

Chapter 29 The awe-inspiring Xu Le

Putting down his sleeves, Xu Le rubbed the center of his brows, with a serious expression on his face.

Not long after, the captain of the city defense school came back.

He looked at Xu Le obviously differently, and said, "Come with me."

"Thank you, Lieutenant." Xu Le thanked him, and followed him.

The two walked up the city wall and came all the way to the front of the city tower.

There are several city guards guarding the steps, all of them are tall and mighty, and judging from the aura exuded by them, they are all ninth-rank masters without exception.

This should be the personal guard who commands the adults, Xu Le secretly thought.

The captain of Chengfang took Xu Le all the way in, and when he came to the door, he knelt on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I have brought you here."

"come in."

A deep voice came.

The captain of Chengfang stood up and said to Xu Le: "Your Excellency is inside, go in."

"Yes."

Xu Le nodded, straightened his clothes, opened the door, and walked in.

A middle-aged man in strong clothes was practicing a sword. The movement of the sword in his hand fluctuated quickly and slowly. When a knife came into his hand, it seemed to be alive, flying up and down like a dragon, Xu Le nodded secretly.

This must be a veteran who has practiced knives for decades, otherwise he would not be so proficient.

Hearing the movement, the middle-aged man did not stop.

Xu Le quietly watched from the side.

After burning incense, the middle-aged man stopped and threw the knife in his hand casually. With a clang sound, the blade accurately sank into the scabbard dozens of steps away.

"Good!" Xu Le couldn't help cheering.

The middle-aged man turned around and looked at the noble young master standing aside.

"Second son of the Xu family, Xu Le?" He frowned slightly, and said calmly.

"It's Xiao Ke." Xu Le bowed and cupped his hands, saluting, "I pay my respects to Commander Zhang."

"Ah."

The middle-aged man nodded, came to Xu Le, walked around him, and said: "I have read your father's letter, do you want to know what your father said in the letter?"

"Please tell the commander." Xu Le said without hesitation.

"Your father said in the letter that he is willing to contribute 10 taels of silver to the defense of Jialing City, on the condition that you will be my personal guard."

The middle-aged man stood in front of Xu Le, looked at him, and suddenly smiled and said, "Xu Mucai really loves his son, and he squandered 10 taels of silver without blinking."

Xu Le was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

My father is doing bad things with good intentions. In a few days, Yinxianjiao will attack the city. Where will the entire city guard be safest then?

Of course, the city defense commander is the safest side.

This is a master of the seventh rank peak, and there is no one with the highest cultivation level in the entire Jialing City.

As long as Xu Le can stay by his side as a personal guard, not to mention that he will be safe, at least in a short period of time, there will be no danger.

But how does the father know that his son is poisoned by a strange poison, if he doesn't break the protective formation as soon as possible, once the poison enters the heart, he will definitely die.

To become a personal guard, you have to follow the commander all the time and destroy the formation?You even have a time limit to solve it, and you destroy a fart.

Thinking of this, Xu Le took a deep breath and said with a serious face.

"My lord, I can do it for you. It is my bounden duty to protect my family and the country. It is good to be a personal guard, but it is too comfortable and easy to breed arrogance. Therefore, Xiao Ke hopes that my lord will send me to the most dangerous place. !"

"Oh?"

This time, the middle-aged man was really surprised.

Among all the city guards, there is no doubt that the personal guards have the highest status. Similarly, they are also the most comfortable. They don't have to do dirty work such as patrolling, night watch, guarding the city gate, and arresting them.

How many people squeezed their heads and wanted to be a personal guard, but this kid in front of him did not hesitate to give up his personal guard and took the initiative to go to the most dangerous place. Is his brain broken?
Is there really such a righteous and noble person in the world?

The middle-aged man looked at Xu Le's eyes and finally got a little interest. He said with a half-smile: "It's just you and me here, you don't have to be like this, just tell the truth."

"My lord, Xiao Keqing is sincere, and please help me."

"Not reluctantly?"

"Not at all reluctant!"

"Okay!" The middle-aged man clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "As expected, I am the son of Jialing, Xu Le, you are a good person. Since you are determined to do so, then the commander will send you to guard the city gate. Would you like it?" ?”

Guarding the city gate, Xu Le's mind turned. As far as he knew, the city gate guards were divided into two shifts: night duty and day duty. He went to apply for day duty. When he was resting at night, he would have a chance to find the core of the formation.

"Thank you, my lord, for your fulfillment, I am willing!" Xu Le nodded heavily.

"Very good, very good, very good, young people like you are really rare."

The middle-aged man patted Xu Le on the shoulder, and said, "However, let's say something first, the 10 taels of silver cannot be refunded. After all, you asked to guard the city gate yourself, and this is not the commander's intention."

"This...Xiao Ke knows." Xu Le didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and nodded.

It is estimated that the leader thought that he regretted the 10 taels of silver, but in fact, he cherished his life...

"Go get the armor and weapons, oh, by the way, I heard that your kid is very good at drinking?"

"Uh... yes." Xu Le nodded.

"If you have time to have a few drinks with the Commander, if you can drink the Commander down, the Commander will give you a chance."

By chance, Xu Le was at a loss, but with a look of gratitude on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Commander, for your love."

"Go."

The middle-aged man smiled and waved his hand.

Walking out of the gate, the captain of the city defense school had been waiting for a long time.

"The commander-in-chief has allowed you to be a personal guard? The personal guard camp is here, follow me." The captain of the city defense school took a look at him, turned around and was about to leave, with a sour look in his eyes.

He followed Lord Commander's command for eight years and was still just a small school lieutenant, and this little boy was already a personal guard.

There is really no comparison between people.

The wall of jealousy in the heart of the city defense school lieutenant broke up.

However, Xu Le stopped him: "Lord Colonel, wait a minute, Lord Commander appointed me as the city gate guard, and let me go to see the city gate, not a personal guard."

"City gate guard?" The captain of the city defense school was taken aback, then turned to look at Xu Le, his eyes were full of strangeness.

"you sure?"

"Naturally." Xu Le nodded,

"Then...you come with me." The captain of the city defense school became more and more weird. A small city gate guard is also worthy of being received by the commander, and he appointed him personally?

He wanted to confirm it with the Commander, but he didn't dare. After thinking about it, he asked, "The city gate guards are the hardest and most tiring. You can bear the requirement of standing still for several hours? "

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm not afraid of suffering." Xu Le smiled and said.

"Why did the Lord Commander appoint you as the city gate guard?"

"I asked for it myself. Originally, he wanted me to be his personal guard."

"What? You rejected the personal guard and ran to be a city gate guard?" The city defense captain froze, turned around and looked at Xu Le, as if looking at a fool.

Is the world crazy?The fragile world view in the captain's heart collapsed a bit.
