The secret guard calmly said in Liu Xuan's slightly startled look: "The old man of the Zhang family is named Zhang Xian, he was a gangster in the market when he was young, and he can be regarded as a capable person who has actually caged the secret forces in Rongcheng, most of the Qinglou gambling houses in Rongcheng are opened by him, and he has a great friendship with the master of Rongcheng Taishou." ”

Liu Xuan was very surprised to see the dark guard appear, she just asked casually, and the secret guard came out to tell her, she quietly listened to the secret guard and then said: "Although the people in the lower ninth rank are despised and not treated by the nobles, they often collude with the magistrates and become a local tyrant. The master is good friends with Zhang Xian, how can Taishou not know? I'm afraid that there are also interests involved. ”

The secret guard said: "Miss Six's expectations are not bad, Rongcheng Taishou accepts bribes from Zhang Xian every year. ”

Liu Xuan nodded, and then suddenly asked the secret guard: "You came out to answer my question today, is it his order?" ”

The dark guard bowed his head: "The master has an order, and we will be sent by the sixth lady in the future." ”

The joy that suddenly surged into her heart made Liu Xuan couldn't help but smile, and she said, "That being the case, will you show up and walk with me?" ”

The secret guard was silent for a moment, and then said to Liu Xuan: "You can accompany you along the way, but I am good at assassination, good at surprise, and I will win with one blow. ”

"How many of you are there?" Liu Xuan's eyes were shining: "But the four people who protected me at the beginning? ”

The dark guard nodded yes, and Liu Xuan was even more happy in her heart: "Can you call them all to see us?" ”

This time the dark guard did not reply, but walked straight to the window to open the window, and then took out a piccolo from his sleeve and put it on his lips and blew it gently, the flute sound was very special like a bird's call, and after a few black shadows flashed, the three dark guards fell into the house together, and the four of them clasped their fists and saluted Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan hurriedly got up and blessed a blessing in return: "Xuan knows that her willfulness has made the four of them tired." ”

The four secret guards didn't even dare, Liu Xuan flashed her bright eyes: "I don't know what the four are called?" ”

The four of them reported their names one by one: "Tiger One, Tiger Two, Tiger Three, Tiger Four." ”

Hearing their names, Liu Xuan was slightly stunned, she thought of Long Yi's name and blurted out, "Is there a dragon two, a dragon three, and a dragon four?" ”

Hu Yi replied: "There are dragon two and dragon three, but there is no dragon four." He saw that Liu Xuan was about to ask again, so he took the initiative to understand: "There are five groups of secret guards around the master, namely the dragon group, the tiger group, the wolf group, the cadre group and the ground group, there are only three people in the dragon group, the head of the secret guard is the shadow of the master who is also the master, the dragon two and the third dragon are the personal secret guards of the master, there are twenty people in the tiger group, fifty people in the wolf group, and one hundred people in the cadre group, and the ground group is the person responsible for collecting intelligence, scattered all over the place There are countless people. ”

The shock in Liu Xuan's heart is indescribable, the more she knows, the more surprised she is that Li Che is good to her, he not only sent the head of the dark guard, Long Yi, to protect her, but even left the four dark guards of the tiger clan to be sent by her, although Hu Yi did not say it explicitly, but she knew from Hu Yi's introduction that the tiger group is the most powerful among the secret guards, there are only twenty people in total, and Li Che gave her four.

Liu Xuan spent the night in shock, how could she let someone as noble as him hold it in his hand to protect, although his protection was a bit domineering and cruel, she knew very well in her heart that Long Yi and Hu Yi must have already found out about She Huanxue's revenge, but they didn't make a move, and watched Yi Pinxiang and Hu Steward turn to ashes.

As for Hongyi, Liu Xuan also knew that if she didn't block the sword for herself, the sword would not have stabbed her body, if Long Yi was beside her at that time, she would not have let Hongyuan die, but he was not there at that time, Huyi and they would only protect themselves, and when they saw Hongyi blocking the sword, they would no longer turn back to protect each other.

Liu Xuan hated the corpse of Honglu at that time, hated her own powerlessness, hated their ruthlessness, but when she woke up, she didn't hate, if she hadn't died without themselves, their task was to protect themselves, and they had no obligation to protect her property and the people around her for her.

There is a debtor and a debtor, and she will not deduct these things indiscriminately on others.

But today's heart softened a little, she grinded her teeth on the bed, well, since he was so good to herself, she reluctantly forgave him for his domineering and ruthlessness, she bit him hard, and she still had to collect the debt between Steward Hu and Hongyi.

She thought about it and grinded her teeth again, but she still bit it twice, and she really couldn't relieve her anger in one mouthful.

On the second day, Liu Xuan instructed Qian Tong to set off, Long Yi hid in the dark and watched her go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and then went out of the city very neatly, he couldn't help frowning, didn't Liu Xuan let Hu Yi and them check Liu Jing's affairs, today is the last day of debt collection, why did she leave like this?

Liu Xuan deliberately chose to leave today, she didn't want to hear about what happened to the uncle's family after today, if there was only one Liu Jing in the uncle's family, maybe she would help them tide over the difficulties in her grandfather's face, and they might discipline Liu Jing more after this incident, and they would be able to live a peaceful life in the future.

But the two most important men in the uncle's family are both that kind of virtue, even if she helps once, she can be sure that it won't be long before there will be a second, third, or even countless times, it is a bottomless pit, and she will not do something useless because it is blood.

What's more, my grandfather's last words are to help if I can, but she really can't help the uncle's family, as for her gentle and timid cousin, Liu Xuan sighed in her heart, everyone has their own fate, and these fates are in their own hands, others may be able to help for a while but can't help for a lifetime.

When he walked out of the gate of Rongcheng, Liu Xuan turned around and took a look, and then retracted his gaze and never looked back.

Out of Rongcheng about three miles, Liu Xuan saw Hu Yi and the four of them were riding horses waiting in front, Liu Xuan greeted them happily, and when they came to both sides of the carriage, he smiled at Qian Tong and said: "This is the person who delivers fish, in addition to catching fish, presumably their ability to catch wild meat must also be good, we can save a lot of dry food along the way." ”

Qian Tong looked at Hu Yi and the others, and smiled at the faces of the four of them who were blackened by Liu Xuan's words: "What Miss said is exactly, you can prepare a lot less dry food this way." ”

Tiger Yi and the other four people successfully blackened half of their faces, the dignified tiger clan's first four secret guards, the biggest function is actually to catch game, but when I thought of Liu Xuan's grilled fish, as well as the cooking skills that even the master praised, the black on his face receded a lot, but he looked forward to it.

Due to the addition of Hu Yi and others, Liu Xuan's itinerary has been accelerated a lot, and she no longer begins to prepare for camping when the sun is setting in the west as in the past, but waits until the sunset is full before looking for a place to camp.

Tiger 1 is responsible for finding firewood and building racks, Tiger 2 is responsible for catching fish, Tiger 3 is responsible for catching some game, and Tiger 4 is responsible for fetching water and other chores.
