These children are all displaced people from the Central Plains.

Lan Cai'er looked surprised when she noticed the appearance and accent of these children.

The Central Plains has always been a very mysterious place.

Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai'er could only know through some books that it was located in the most central area of the continent.

In recent years, the Central Plains area of the evil magic monks revived, many cults in order to practice evil arts, do not hesitate to mutilate living beings, using some young children to alchemy, this also made the Central Plains, a large number of residents upside down, fled to several large countries including Daxia.

It's just that the state of Great Xia stipulates that if the homeless people have no skills, they are not allowed to enter the city, and can only beg in the countryside to make a living.

Earlier, Lan Caier also felt that Yan Che's dignified seven-foot man, with great strength, did not go to work and joined the army, it must be because he was afraid of hardship and tiredness, but now that he looks at it, it is indeed because of these children.

He has a big appetite, and even if he finds a job to support himself, he will not have the extra money to support these children.

When Yan Che saw the group of children, his mouth opened open, revealing his snow-white teeth.

These children were indeed refugees from the Central Plains, and their parents either died of illness on the way, or were sold as slaves after arriving in Great Xia.

Yan Che was the oldest among these people, and he had a lot of strength, he heard that Xia Du was easy to make a living, so he took these children to Xia Du.

It's a pity that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and he went to the summer capital to find a job, but he was unsatisfactory, and in the end he could only barely make ends meet by being beaten on the streets.

The money that can be obtained from the beating is really limited, and these children can only drink some gruel every day, and they are all hungry and yellow-skinned.

"Let's all come and eat noodles, one by one, don't worry. ”

The children cheered and surrounded Yan Che and the wheelbarrow.

Looking at those children, one by one, their mouths were full of oil, and Yan Che's eyes were full of joy.

Although he looks straightforward, he is very clear in black and white, and whoever is good to him, he will be twice as good to him.

After he finished his face, he walked in front of Ye Lingyue and was about to kneel.

"In life, I kneel in the sky, kneel on the ground, and kneel in the high hall of my parents, I can't stand this worship. These faces are not given for nothing, and this is part of the pay I paid for hiring you as my bodyguard. Ye Lingyue held Yan Che's hand.

"I am willing to be Miss's bodyguard, as long as Yan Che has a breath, I will not let Miss suffer the slightest grievance. In Yan Che's eyes, there were faint tears flashing.

From this moment on, Ye Lingyue is his heaven, if she wants him to live, he will live, she wants him to die, and he will never live.

"Sister Lan, you help Yan Che clean up first, I have something to say to these children. Ye Lingyue saw Yan Che's appearance, he shouldn't have freshened up for many days, so he asked Lan Cai'er to take him to change his clothes first.

As soon as Lan Cai'er left, Ye Lingyue walked among the children.

These children are all fatherless and motherless orphans, most of them are very afraid of the Xia people, and when they see Ye Lingyue, they all subconsciously retreat.

"How long has it been since you had a full meal?" Ye Lingyue looked around, waiting for an answer.

Xu listened to her kind tone, and gave them noodles to eat, and one of the older children hesitated and opened his mouth in Xia Guohua, which was not very proficient.

"I can't get enough to eat every day. ”

"Then among you, who hasn't been beaten or frozen?" Ye Lingyue looked at the little faces beside her.

Before meeting these children, Ye Lingyue thought that the "stupid girl Ye Lingyue" was already very pitiful, but compared with this group of children, she at least had food and the love of her mother.

Not a single child can answer this question.

Because each of them has been beaten and scolded, and even framed as a thief, called a scumbag that no one wants.

"Then would you like to follow me like your big brother Yan Che. Follow me, and you will no longer be bullied, nor will you be hungry and cold. However, I don't raise useless people, and the people who follow me must completely obey my orders, and when necessary, they will kill people, do you dare?" Ye Lingyue seemed to have changed all of a sudden, and her voice suddenly turned sharp.

Those children were taken aback by Ye Lingyue's words.

But gradually, their eyes changed.

These children, who may still be young, but their lives of exile have made them lose their innocence prematurely, and at the same time, they have more determination to survive than anyone else.

They all want to survive, to survive well.

"We do. Dozens of small faces, without the slightest hesitation.

"Louder, I can't hear it!" Ye Lingyue shouted angrily.

"We are willing, follow the young lady and obey the order. These twelve words, as if they had magical power, made everyone's faces red.

"Very good, from now on, you will be the people of the Ghost Gate, I am the master of the Ghost Gate, I will select people with potential from among you and train them, and the best thirteen of them will become my sharpest throat cutter, that is, the Thirteen Kills of the Ghost Gate. Ye Lingyue looked at the group of children in front of her with satisfaction.

After Ye Lingyue embezzled the huge small treasury of the Shanhai Gang and learned of the existence of the Ghost Emperor Wu Chong, she had a bold idea to establish a huge organization that was not inferior to the underground Yan Palace.

This organization is called the Ghost Gate.

The origin of the ghost gate comes from the predecessors of the Jade Hand Poison Venerable.

On the mainland, there seems to be no organization such as the Ghost Gate, but from today onwards, it will be born from Ye Lingyue's hands, and these orphans from the Central Plains will be the first batch of disciples absorbed by the Ghost Gate.

When Lan Cai'er came back with Yan Che, those children had already returned to their normal colors, and it seemed that they were still the same group of innocent and lively children, but if you looked closely at their eyes, you would find that there was no humility and cowardice in their eyes.

"Ling Yue, I really don't know if I don't say it, I didn't expect you to pick it up casually, and you actually picked up a treasure, look at Yan Che, this kid. ”

Lan Cai'er's face was full of spirit, and when she walked over, she was followed by someone.

The man was tall and big, with weed-like hair and beard on his face already shaved, and he had changed into the clothes of the Blue Mansion guards.

When he walked in front of Ye Lingyue, Ye Lingyue was stunned, this person was Yan Che?

What appeared in front of Ye Lingyue's eyes was a clear face, and when it came to appearance, Yan Che was not as perfect as a demon like Feng Xin and others.

In terms of temperament, he can't compare to the violent and evil of the ghost emperor and witch, but it is such a face, the facial features are not outstanding, and when combined, it is a masculine and good-looking face.

Coupled with Yan Che's tall figure, not to mention, standing next to Ye Lingyue, he really has the appearance of a flower protector.

At this moment, Lan Cai'er felt that it was a very cost-effective deal to subdue such a good-looking and powerful guard for ten taels of silver.
