"Don't joke with me," Ma Yao pouted: "This kind of joke is not funny at all. ”

"Who was kidding you! What I said is true! Zhu Yingying said solemnly: "Tomorrow at the latest, you will be able to receive the holy decree." ”

"Are you sure you're not kidding?"

"No joke! It's true! ”

"Damn! What kind of nerves are you, when did I say I was going to be your guard! ”

"What's that look on your face? Wouldn't it be a shame to be my bodyguard? Do you know how many people dream of being my guard, but they can't find a way, I am kind enough to support you, but you don't appreciate it! ”

"What's so good about being a guard? The low pay is pitiful, and the face of the family is returned, and there is no freedom at all. ”

"How can you say it's so bad?" Zhu Yingying smiled: "You are my guard, can I treat you badly?" What's more, you are still my savior, and I can't treat you badly! Let's be honest with you, nominally you are my bodyguard, in fact we are friends, don't worry, I won't restrict your freedom, I can do whatever you want, I will never ask, as for your remuneration...... I'll keep you satisfied. ”

"Are you so kind?" Ma Xiaoyao remained skeptical.

"You still don't believe it? Do you want me to take out my heart and show you? Zhu Yingying said angrily: "You give me a happy word, do you want to go to the princess's mansion to be a guard?" ”

"I ......" Ma Xiaoyao hesitated a little.

"Think of those ten gold mines." Zhu Yingying said suddenly.

"Huh?" Ma Xiaoyao raised his head and looked at Zhu Yingying vigilantly: "What do you mean by this?" Do you want to get the gold mine back again? ”

"Don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant." Zhu Yingying smiled slightly: "I mean...... The ten gold mines in your hands are almost all unmined and intact, and there is a lot of gold stored in them, and you can't do it all in a short period of time if you want to mine them all. ”

"Mining gold?" A strange color flashed in Ma Xiaoyao's eyes.

"What? Am I wrong? Zhu Yingying asked suspiciously.

"Oh, no, you're not wrong." Ma Xiaoyao hurriedly shook his head, of course he couldn't tell Zhu Yingying the truth, in fact, the purpose of his gold mine was to cultivate, not to mine gold.

"Ten gold mines are a lot of money, you shouldn't be at ease with someone else taking care of them, right?" Zhu Yingying said with a smile: "Therefore, you can only supervise and take care of it yourself, only in this way can you ensure that the gold of the ten gold mines will be mined intact, that is, you have to stay in the imperial city until the ten gold mines are mined."

Ma Yao nodded noncommittally: "Go on." ”

"The Imperial City is a very prosperous big city, with a population of hundreds of millions, of which nearly one-third are dignitaries, and it is no exaggeration to say that if you throw a vase on the street, you may hit a certain dignitary." Zhu Yingying said.

"What the hell do you mean?" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed slowly.

"You are alone, you have no background, no friends, if you provoke dignitaries, you will suffer a big loss."

"Why should I provoke those dignitaries? I'm not stupid. ”

"Some things are involuntary, even if you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, someone will take the initiative to provoke you, you can't always play the clown who swallows your anger, right?"

"You say so much, just to impress me and let me go and be your guard?"

Zhu Yingying nodded: "Yes!" As long as you become my guard, you will be my man! Whoever dares to bully you in the future, I will clean him up fiercely! With my backing for you, you can walk sideways in the Imperial City. ”

"Sideways? You're a crab to me. Ma Xiaoyao chuckled.

"I'm just using an analogy." Zhu Yingying pouted: "You can't leave the Imperial City in a short period of time because of the ten gold mines, if you want to live well in the Imperial City, you must find a strong backer, I, Zhu Yingying, is your best choice!" What else do you have to hesitate about? If I were you, I would have said yes a long time ago! You can't find this kind of good thing even with a lantern. ”

"Hehe......" Ma smiled freely: "Can you really say it...... If you go to MLM, you will definitely become the backbone of the business! ”

"MLM? What MLM? "Zhu Yingying didn't understand, the word pyramid scheme was invented by earthlings, and Zhu Yingying, as a native of Tiangongxing, of course she didn't understand it.

"Oh, nothing." Ma Xiaoyao didn't intend to explain the word pyramid scheme, because the word was too dejorative, and the explanation was too clear, Zhu Yingying would definitely not be too happy, Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "It is undeniable that I am really a little tempted." ”

"Really?" Zhu Yingying's eyes lit up: "So, you agreed?" ”

"Not so fast." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "I can be your guard, but you have to promise me two conditions." ”

"You say, as long as it's not too difficult, I'll promise you."

"First, you must not interfere with my freedom, you can do whatever I want, and you are not allowed to ask."

"Didn't I just say it, why did you bring it up again? Don't believe me? ”

"I just wanted to make sure."

"What is the second condition?"

"I can't stay here for the rest of my life, and you can't stop me when I want to leave."

"This one...... Okay, I promised. Zhu Yingying nodded with a smile: "Now you can be my bodyguard, right?" ”

"Let me have a good rest today, and then go to the princess's mansion tomorrow to take office." Ma Xiaoyao said.

"Okay, you can rest well, I won't bother you." Zhu Yingying left happily.

Ma Xiaoyao stood at the door, watching Zhu Yingying go away, the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "The encounter in life is really amazing, one moment I was still an unemployed vagrant, and the next moment I directly became a six-rank sword guard in the princess's mansion." ”

Of course, the supreme ruler of the Qinglong Divine Dynasty is His Majesty Xià Zhu Tianba, followed by those maidens, princes, and princesses in the harem, and then there are those princes and ministers, the ministers are all divided into grades, the highest official position is a grade, the lowest official position is a tenth grade, the petty official guarding the city gate is a tenth grade, and the prime minister of the dynasty is a grade.

Ma Xiaoyao mixed a six-grade guard with a knife, and it is not a big official in this group of officials, for many people, Ma Xiaoyao's starting point is very high, and many people have struggled all their lives, and it is difficult to mix with the six-pin.

The reason why Ma Xiaoyao agreed to Zhu Yingying as a guard is mainly due to two considerations, first, he now needs ten gold mines to cultivate, and he can't stay away from the imperial city in a short period of time, with Zhu Yingying behind him, no one dares to provoke Ma Xiaoyao, and he can cultivate with peace of mind, second, the Qinglong Divine Dynasty is an old divine dynasty that has been inherited for thousands of years, and the background is very profound, and there must be a lot of rare cultivation cheats in the royal family, Ma Xiaoyao plans to have a good relationship with Zhu Yingying, and then ask Zhu Yingying to help get a few cheats to cultivate.

Based on the above two reasons, Ma Xiaoyao finally made the decision to go to the princess's mansion to be a guard, what he never expected was that it was because of this decision...... Pushed him to the forefront all of a sudden, and almost lost his life...... Of course, that's all for later, so let's not mention it for now.

……

Inside the gorgeous and extravagant princess's mansion.

A man and a woman were sitting together drinking, the man was wearing a guard's costume, and a stainless steel zuò hat on his head, he was handsome and well-proportioned, he was Ma Xiaoyao, and that woman was the ninth princess Zhu Yingying.

In the distance, several guards huddled together and whispered conversations.

"That guy is really blessed, he eats better than us, lives better than us, and can drink and chat with the princess every day, I really envy me." One of the guards said sourly.

"If I can accompany the princess to drink and chat every day, I am willing to live a few years less." Another guard sighed.

"I really don't understand! A guy from the innate realm actually became the princess's guard, and he was so valued, is there any reason for this? "The other guards were also crazy with jealousy.

The ninth princess, Zhu Yingying, is as beautiful as a flower, she is recognized as the first beauty of the Qinglong Divine Dynasty, and she is also the dream lover of these guards, and now seeing the dream lover sitting with a smiling person, the hearts of these guards are about to break.

……

Zhu Yingying and Ma Xiaoyao didn't know what the other guards were thinking, they just drank and chatted by themselves, in fact, then again, even if they knew, they wouldn't care.

"How? You're still comfortable being a guard with me, right? Zhu Yingying asked with a smile.

"It's okay." Ma nodded noncommittally.

"Improvised?" Zhu Yingying raised her slender eyebrows: "Listen to what you mean, is there something dissatisfied?" How? Is it because the food is not good, or is the accommodation not going well? ”

"Nope." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "I have wine and meat every day, and I live in a single room, I am quite satisfied." ”

"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Yingying broke the casserole and asked to the end.

"Uh......" Ma Yao hesitated: "Let's not talk about it......"

"No! It must be said! Zhu Yingying's face turned pale.

"Actually, it's nothing." Ma Xiaoyao picked up the wine glass and drank it all: "That's it...... The other guards looked at me a little ...... It's a bit different......"

"Different? What's the difference? Zhu Yingying didn't understand: "Are they making trouble for you?" ”

Ma Xiaoyao hurriedly shook his head: "No, they are very polite to me, but I always feel ...... They looked at me a little wrong...... As for what's wrong, I can't say......"

"Are you overthinking?" Zhu Yingying smiled: "The guards in my house have all been strictly screened, and everyone's quality is very good, as long as you don't provoke them, they will definitely not take the initiative to provoke you." ”

"Maybe I'm thinking too much." Ma nodded noncommittally.

"Aren't you clamoring to go to the royal gardens?" Zhu Yingying put down the wine glass, took out a jade token from her arms and put it on the table: "Well, with this token, you can freely enter and exit the royal garden." ”
