Gu Yao nodded, "Got it." In fact, when we were fighting, Xia Ke recognized that it was Mr. Yichen. ”

Shen Lanying said in surprise, "Xia Ke's eyesight is really good." "In the night when he can't see his fingers, he can actually see the other party's face clearly while fighting with someone, this eyesight is not ordinary. Shen Lanying asked curiously, "Then Sikong Yan didn't blame you, right?"

Gu Yao shook his head, "No." Mr. Yichen is the second on the martial arts list of the sons of the rivers and lakes. It is normal that we cannot defeat him, and the Lord does not blame us. ”

Shen Lanying breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." Xia Ke didn't worry about her, she was just worried about Gu Yao. I don't know why, she always has a hunch that the careerist is likely to deliberately find fault with Gu Yao.

This is really a hunch.

Shen Lanying secretly despised her neurotic behavior, and then said, "By the way, I haven't seen Xia Ke for a few days, was he sent by Sikong Yan to do some big task?"

Gu Yao shook his head and said, "No, Xia Ke went back to the Fifth Prince." ”

"Return?" Shen Lanying was puzzled by this word, and asked puzzledly, "He once served by the side of the Fifth Prince?"

Gu Yao scratched his head, "Actually...... To be precise, Xia Ke is the person of the Five Princes. ”

"What?" Shen Lanying was immediately shocked, she had always thought that Xia Ke was Sikong Yan's person.

Gu Yao recalled the ins and outs of the matter in his mind, and explained in detail to Shen Lanying, "In fact, at the beginning, the Lord recruited dead soldiers in the four seas in order to form an escort team for the five princes. Before the five princes left the Ming Mountain, these recruited masters were all under the jurisdiction of the Lord. When the Five Princes leave Mingluo Mountain, those people will leave the Lord and go to the Five Princes to serve their true masters. ”

In other words, as soon as Jiang Xu appeared, those men in black would all leave?

Gu Yao continued, "As for Xia Ke, he followed the Fifth Prince many years ago, and he was not the Lord's person in the first place. The fifth prince considered that these masters were not recruited by himself after all. In order to be more handy in commanding the escort team in the future, he sent Xia Ke to follow the lord and be responsible for commanding the future imperial guards. ”

Shen Lanying was shocked by the news and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. The black-clothed people who followed Sikong Yan had more than 200 people, all of whom were skilled. She couldn't have imagined that these people didn't belong to Sikong Yan at all, but to the Five Princes. The careerist turned out to be just helping the five princes train their troops.

After calming down and thinking about it, Shen Lanying suddenly realized that she was really too young and too simple before. Those black-clothed people are all equipped with unique skills, and they must have ambitions in their chests, how can they be willing to follow a powerless and powerless horse master? The only one who can make them willing to worship in the north is the emperor. Maybe these people are gambling, betting on whether the five princes will become a generation of emperors.

It's just that she didn't think of this in the past.

Shen Lanying stopped abruptly and grabbed Gu Yao, "What about you and Gu Sen, you are also members of the Five Princes?"

"No, no, it's not!" Gu Yao waved his hand repeatedly. "Although the Lord is recruiting guards for the Five Princes, we are different. Our lives are saved by the Lord, so we are loyal to the Lord, not the Five Princes. ”

Shen Lanying breathed a long sigh of relief, but she couldn't understand why she was in such a relieved mood. Maybe it's because she doesn't know the five princes, for fear that her friends around her will not know the master. Shen Lanying asked again, "Then how many people like you are around Sikong Yan?"

Gu Yao said, "Nineteen in total." ”

That's a lot. Shen Lanying muttered inwardly. I don't know why, she suddenly had a feeling of uneasiness in her heart, and she always felt that the relationship between Sikong Yan and the five princes was not very stable.

Shen Lanying was thinking nonsense in her heart, but Gu Yao suddenly said seriously, "But I'm not the Lord's person!"

Shen Lanying was stunned, and then looked at Gu Yao with mentally retarded eyes, "Don't you think your words are contradictory?"

"Forehead......" Gu Yao was stunned and secretly scolded himself for being stupid. "I said that I was used to it, and I forgot to change my words. I say again, I am not Mr. Fei Jie's person, I am your Highness's person!"

Gu Yao's words are like taking an oath.

Shen Lanying was taken aback, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, glared at Gu Yao, and feigned anger, "If you talk nonsense again, be careful that I cut you!" After that, she ignored Gu Yao and walked down the mountain.

"Your Highness, I'm not talking nonsense!" Gu Yao was anxious and ran to Shen Lanying to stop her.

"Is there any evidence?" asked Shen Lanying expressionlessly.

Gu Yao was stunned, what evidence could this thing have?

Shen Lanying didn't react when she saw that Gu Yao was dumbfounded, so she rolled her eyes directly, bypassed him and continued to walk down the mountain. The second monk of Gu Yao was confused, so he had to follow Shen Lanying and walk down the mountain together.

Now Shen Lanying and Gu Yao are walking side by side, the distance between the two is less than a foot, but Gu Yao does not have any abnormal behavior. As if he had just been on a mesa mountain, the guy who had a phobia of women wasn't him.

Shen Lanying thought as she walked, and had already vaguely guessed the reason. Gu Yao's abnormal symptoms are absolutely inseparable from Sikong Yan.

The two walked in silence for a long time, and Shen Lanying suddenly looked up at Gu Yao, "In the past month, has Sikong Yan told you anything? Well, I mean, other than the next task." ”

The long silence just now had already suffocated Gu Yao, and when he finally seized the opportunity to speak, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Fei Jie told me that I don't have to obey him anymore. ”

Shen Lanying couldn't help but roll her eyes again, "Sikong Yan said this a long time ago. Didn't you and Goosen be assigned to protect me a long time ago? ”

"It's not the same. Gu Yao looked at Shen Lanying seriously, for fear that Shen Lanying wouldn't believe him, so he repeated again, "I'm different from Gu Sen." Gussen is still Mr. Phijie's man, but I will no longer obey Mr. Ferjie. ”

Shen Lanying was puzzled, "Which one are you singing this again?"

Gu Yao said, "Mr. told me personally, I will no longer obey him in the future." ”

Shen Lanying waited for Gu Yao's next step. Gu Yao didn't say anything else, just looked at Shen Lanying seriously, and his eyes were clear. Shen Lanying asked puzzledly, "Is it over?"

Gu Yao said as a matter of course, "Yes, what else do you have to say?"

Shen Lanying's face was confused, "He said that you don't have to follow him anymore, and he didn't say that you should follow me! ”

Gu Yao looked at Shen Lanying suspiciously, "Doesn't Your Highness want me to follow you?"
