"Big Brother, Big Brother, you only know that piece of wood in your head. How come you can't see the good in me!"
An Er kicked the fire angrily, causing the firewood to collapse a little, and the firelight was dim for a moment.
"Ouch, my shoes!"
An Er looked at the burnt shoe surface with heartache, and subconsciously wanted to kick it again to vent his anger, but after seeing the burnt part of the shoe surface, he stopped.
Suddenly, the fire flickered again, as if something was passing over it, but An Er didn't feel any wind. He was wondering when he felt a pain on his face.
He, An Er, was the second in command of the Fifth Prince's Palace's secret guards. Everyone who saw him would call him "Second Senior Brother" respectfully. But now he was slapped in the face? !
"Who, who is it? Come out here and don't force me to cut you!" An Er covered his ashen face and shouted angrily at the air.
Xu Jinhuan on the side twirled his fingers in disgust. What's on this guy's face? Why is it so greasy?
As for the secret guards in the cave who were about to go back to sleep, they looked at An Er with confusion.
"Second Brother, what's wrong with you? There's no one in front of you."
"Did the wind blow just now? Second Brother, don't scare yourself."
When Dark Guard Four heard his companion's voice, he opened his heavy eyelids, rubbed his eyes, and spoke in a daze.
"Yes, that old immortal has already left. It's impossible for him to appear here."
Unexpectedly, after he said this, the cave became eerily quiet for a moment.
"Siyi, you are really talking about something irrelevant. Can you please not mention these three words? My face hurts."
"Yeah, ever since the last accident, I've been terrified by the slightest bit of wind. I've finally recovered a little bit now, so please don't scare me."
When An Er heard the voices of the secret guards, he regained his senses. He rubbed his face, which was still a little painful, and looked around in confusion.
Could it be that he was wrong and it was really the wind just now?
An Er couldn't help but cough awkwardly, and walked to the side of the secret guards in a pretentious manner.
"I've been hearing you guys talk about that old immortal. What's going on? I was on a mission in Jizhou before, so I didn't have a chance to see him."
When Dark Guard Four heard that Dark Guard Two was interested in this matter, he immediately began to explain, "Second Brother, it's a good thing you weren't here, otherwise your fate would probably not be much better than ours."
After saying this, as if afraid that An Er would not believe him, he pointed at the secret guard Si Wu and said, "Second Senior Brother, look, Si Wu's tooth was broken that time. The old immortal was really ruthless."
When Dark Guard Four saw that Dark Guard Two had no intention of stopping, he continued, “We were patrolling the silver mine when we were taught a lesson by the old immortal.
Later, other people came to help, but they were also taught a lesson by the old immortal. In the end, the old immortal not only let the miners escape, but also moved the silver mine away directly! "
After listening to this, An Er silently glanced at the Dark Guard Four Five who had let the cat out of the bag. Thinking of what Dark Guard Four One had just said, his heart began to beat.
After all, there are many supernatural things in the world, and he actually still believes in them a little. Of course, he cannot show these in front of the secret guards, as he still has to save face.
Especially at such a critical moment, he had to perform better than Anyi and make the secret guards admire him.
Therefore, he lectured the secret guards in a stern tone.
"Nonsense, I don't believe there are any old immortals, at most they are just some talented people who have cultivated special abilities.
Don't talk about this matter again, or we, the secret guards of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, will lose face!"
After saying that, An Er flicked his sleeves, wanting to show off his heroic appearance.
As a result, the next second he appeared in front of everyone with a dog eating shit gesture.
"Second Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you learning some skills that we don't know about?" asked the fourth dark guard stupidly.
An Er quickly stood up, touching his painful butt, his eyes widened with fear and terror.
There was clearly nothing behind him, but he clearly felt something kicking him hard.
The force seemed to take him back to the secret guard training camp, where his master had taught him the same thing!
"You...the old immortal you mentioned before will suddenly attack you, and you won't be able to see his movements, right?" An Er asked after swallowing silently.
The fourth dark guard continued to say in a silly way, "Yes, that's right, Second Senior Brother, you didn't want to talk about this just now, why are you asking about it again suddenly?"
After saying that, he looked at An Er in confusion, "Second Brother, why are you sweating in this rainy day? Are you hot? Then get away from the fire quickly."
An Er silently wiped the cold sweat from his face and wanted to say that he was not hot, but for the sake of face, he held back.
An Er had a cold face, trying his best to hide his panic, and said seriously: "If what you said is correct, then we may have met that old immortal again.
I didn’t fall down by myself just now, but was kicked by someone.”
When the Dark Guard Four heard this, he immediately jumped up from the ground, "What? The old immortal is here again?"
The other secret guards also stood up hurriedly. They subconsciously huddled together to reduce their presence.
It’s not that they are timid, it’s just that they are traumatized by the last experience.
An Er looked at the dark guards who were already huddled together, and himself who was all alone. Why was he so unpopular? No one even hugged him at this time.
The secret guards didn't have time to think so much. They simply thought that since An Er was the first to be beaten, he must have done something to make the old immortal unhappy.
It would be better for him to help them share some of the burden, so that he would not be in vain as the leader of the mission.
Xu Jinhuan looked at An Er, who was so frightened that his whole body was stiff and he didn't know where to look, and kicked him in the butt in disgust.
Then he walked towards the others with a swagger.
Xu Jinhuan continued in his fake voice, "I was harvesting vegetables in my own herb garden when I heard you guys calling me. I rushed here before I even finished harvesting the vegetables.
You guys miss me this much?"
When the secret guards heard the familiar voice, they subconsciously knelt on the ground, muttering.
"Old Immortal, it's our fault. We shouldn't have mentioned your affairs and disturbed your meditation."
"Old Immortal, we really know our mistake. We won't hire anyone to mine anymore."
"Yes, old immortal, we came to the mountain this time to save people and do good deeds!"
An Er touched his painful buttocks and echoed, "Really, we are here to do good things!"
Xu Jinhuan sneered and slapped An Er in the face, "Do you think I will believe it?"
