The third update is coming, and I will continue to struggle tomorrow, and I will go ~

These ten people are all strong in martial arts, and they are the closest attendants to Xiangye, and they often take turns to follow Xiangye around. Whether Xiang Ye is working in the yamen or visiting friends, they are still inseparable from Xiang Ye.

In addition, they have a set of titles in private, which is called: Ten Generals.

These ten people have rankings, but they are neither ranked by age nor by martial arts, but by Xiangye himself.

Although even the ten families don't know what the basis for Xiang Ye's ranking is, they only need to understand one thing, and protecting Xiang Ye's safety is their lifelong mission.

Ten same history, this may already be considered to be a problem!

Xiao Leng called by Shi Jing ranked sixth among the ten generals, in addition to being called Leng Liu, he also had a real name, called Leng Yi.

In addition to being ranked lower among the ten generals, Leng Yi is also the youngest of these ten people, and he has just turned thirteen years old in the Midyear Festival this year.

It may be because of the fact that he often practices martial arts, and the thirteen-year-old is cold, and his body has grown much taller than that of young people of the same age, and his appearance is also very spiritual, and he also gets along very well with the ten generals and brothers.

However, although Leng Yi's height has been pulled up, there is still a little childishness on his face.

Perhaps for this reason, from the day he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, until now, Shi Jing has not let him take on the job of going out to guard, only let him stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Because he often rotated around the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion and inspected the Anzhai back and forth, he gradually became almost the microphone inside the ten generals.

Leng Yi inquired about the outside from the ten generals who followed Shi Jing in shifts every day, and told the brothers who went out about what happened every day in the mansion, so he was also very cared for by the ten brothers.

But no matter what, compared to the other nine. It's still easy to feel that you're the only one out of ten who eats idle. He felt that there were already so many nursing homes left behind in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it seemed that there was no more than him, and no less than him.

Therefore, when Leng Yi heard the old butler who came to him say that Xiangye had a new dispatch to him, he was wiping the blade with a soft cloth, and he suddenly put the knife into the sheath, and stood up from the chair with a "Teng" look, his eyes full of anticipation.

However, when he heard the last half of the old butler's words, his expression suddenly shrank a little.

Said to be a new dispatch. In fact, it is still a job that does not require leaving the house, and the scope of activities seems to be more cramped.

The old housekeeper has served in the Shi Mansion for most of his life, and he has almost watched Leng grow from a little boy to his current size. I also like this very young and energetic young man very much.

Seeing that there was some dejection on Leng Zhi's extremely young face, he didn't want to say anything, but when he turned around to leave after giving instructions to Xiangye, he hesitated again. In the end, he couldn't help but comfort: "Don't look at it, it seems that you can only move in that small courtyard most of the time in the future, but at the same time, you have to bear the responsibility of protecting the eldest lady, and you can't change the guard." Do you know how much Xiangye hopes that the eldest lady can get better one day sooner? Xiangye's expectations for you are not small. ”

Leng Yiyan's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Uncle housekeeper, I will do this job well." ”

The old butler saw seriousness and firmness in the young man's eyes. He smiled happily, nodded, and said, "There is one more thing to sue you." In the future, the maid who will be responsible for serving the eldest lady is Qingqiang, you are no stranger to her, and you must be able to get along well in the future. ”

As the chief steward in charge of all the daily chores of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he said this sentence and looked very confident. It is also well-founded.

The old housekeeper knew very well in his heart, he clearly remembered that Qingqiang and Leng Yi entered the Xiangfu on the same day. For this reason. The two children, who were close in age, played together in their spare time, and the friendship between the children was very close.

Later, Qingqiang served Cen late, and the coldness grew to a certain age, and the proportion of time spent practicing martial arts under the three people who served as martial artists in the ten generals increased, and the opportunity for the two to play together became rarer.

This time the two have the opportunity to serve the eldest lady together, which may also mean the renewal of their childhood friendship!

When he learned from the old butler that he would be able to meet with Qingqiang often in the future and serve the Lord together, his cold face gradually showed a happy smile.

It seems that the old butler's speculation is going to come true.

……

Because of the special personal situation of the eldest lady, in order to serve her properly, it must be inseparable from her, and almost eat and sleep together. After going to the old housekeeper for advice and gaining understanding and support, Qingqiang began to 'move' the total distance no more than the scope of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Qingqiang dragged a bed of cotton wool rolled up with a sheet and walked to the small courtyard where the eldest lady lived, she suddenly saw two young men pulling a cart of firewood more than ten steps ahead.

The small courtyard where the eldest lady lived was close to the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and looking at the direction in which the two young men walked, it was also to go to the back door of the Shifu, so Qingqiang was on the same road as those two people.

The two of them couldn't walk too fast with the firewood cart, and Qingqiang was dragging a bed of cotton wool in her hand, so naturally she couldn't go fast. The two sides are slowly embellished on the same road one after the other, and no one has thrown off anyone, but no one has copied anyone's forward road.

After walking for a while, Qingqiang saw clearly the short knives hanging from the waists of the two young men, and recognized that these two were members of the Ten Generals, and she couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

The duty of the ten generals is to protect the safety of Xiangye, although they are servants, but they are by no means simple. Occasionally, they do side jobs, but they don't do the menial work of dyeing their hands in a firewood house.

Until Qingqiang suddenly saw a corner of her clothes exposed between the firewood piles on the firewood cart......

She thought that she was too tired in the past few days because she had taken care of Cen Chi day and night, so she was dazzled.

But the chariot was in front of her, and with her on the same road, she could easily look at what she thought she was looking at the flowers again.

And when she blinked, and saw that the corner of her clothes was indeed under the pyre, her heart fluttered and a bolt of lightning slid through.

She is very familiar with this kind of clothing, in fact, the maid dress she wears herself is made of this kind of fabric.

Why is this kind of clothing pressed under the pyre? Why is the firewood cart full of firewood not sent to the house, but to the outside? Why is the firewood cart transported by the people of the ten generals, and what are the rough servants of the firewood house doing......

Gather a lot of clues. Qingqiang's thinking direction suddenly entered a realm that she felt scared of herself.

And when she was about to look at it again and see clearly, a figure suddenly flashed into her sight! Because she was so focused on the front that she forgot what was going to happen behind her, the sudden arrival of this scene made her so startled that she almost fell backwards to the ground.

"Sister Qiang'er!"

After approaching Qingqiang lightly, he shouted coldly, and suddenly jumped in front of her from behind Qingqiang, his original intention was to surprise her, and by the way, he also wanted to scare her, but he didn't expect to really scare her into such a situation.

Seeing Qingqiang's face, it instantly turned pale. His eyes were straight, and he was a little panicked with coldness, and his long arms probed. He held Qingqiang's body and said in surprise, "Sister Qiang'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Oh... It's nothing ......," Qingqiang replied casually.

The sudden intervention of another person gave her the illusion of an unspoken discovery in her heart. Exposed to the eyes of others, she reflexively spoke perfunctorily.

It wasn't until she saw the person in front of her clearly that she breathed a sigh of relief, and then a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Xiao Leng, why are you?" ”

"Why can't it be me?" Leng Zhiqingqiang came to her senses. He also eased his nerves, and then he was about to help with the futon that Qingqiang was pulling with some difficulty, "I'll help you get it." ”

After recognizing the coldness. Qingqiang was defenseless against him, and easily let go of her hand, and the bound bedding slipped into Leng Yi's hand and carried it.

With a light hand, she couldn't help but look at the two people pulling the firewood cart again. It's just that in the time of a pause on her side, the cart of firewood had been pulled away by the two of them. The image is blurry, and the corner of the clothes on the chapel cart is not very clear.

Qingqiang turned her gaze back. The corner of her gaze slipped over the knife hanging from Leng Yi's waist and stopped on the slightly sharpened cowhide handle, and she thought more seriously that although Leng Yi was only thirteen years old, a few months younger than herself, he did have the identity of one of the ten generals.

I have long heard that even if the members of the ten generals are not guaranteed, there are at least seven adults, and the blades of the green steel knives hanging diagonally around their waists have licked human blood.

Although the coldness in front of him is rarely out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the wear and tear of the handle of his saber is mostly due to his diligent practice, the reason is relatively simple, but if he grows up for a few years, he will inevitably be the same as the other members of the Ten Family Generals......

As soon as she thought of this, Qingqiang coughed dryly, and then asked softly, "Xiao Leng, are you here for something?" As she spoke, she stepped back half a step with a slight movement.

Leng Yi seemed to be unaware of Qingqiang's small action, but in fact, it was because he didn't care in the first place, and thought that this was a normal expression of a woman's reserve, after all, the two of them were really a little too close just now.

Hearing Qingqiang's soft inquiry, Leng Yi replied with a smile: "Uncle Housekeeper asked me to protect the eldest lady...... And you, don't you know? ”

It wasn't for him to mention it, Qingqiang really didn't know about it. She had just gone to ask the old butler about his move, and the butler agreed, but did not mention anything else, perhaps because he had forgotten.

But she thought about it, she had met the lord in the courtyard before, and the lord not only personally assigned her to serve in the courtyard of the eldest lady, but also mentioned that he would also send someone to guard the safety of the courtyard. In this way, what Leng Yi said is true.

It's just that it's still surprising, but I didn't expect the other person sent to the eldest lady to be Leng Yi.

Qing Qiang looked at the cold young face, endured it, and didn't glance at the saber on his waist again, and a trace of complexity floated in her happy mood.

Leng Yi was also staring at Qingqiang's face.

He felt that the sister Qiang'er in front of him, who had been frolicking together since the beginning of entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, had not seen each other for a while, and her appearance seemed to have changed. Her eyebrows and eyes are softer, and her cheeks are not as round as before, but they are a little more feminine, which still makes him look good.

Then, he noticed the slightly stunned look in her eyes, and before she could speak, he smiled again and said, "Maybe the housekeeper uncle was too busy and forgot to say it." However, it is the same for me to convey this matter to you now. ”

His thoughts are some the same as Qingqiang's unspoken pondering, but there are some differences.

Qingqiang smiled a little reluctantly, glanced at the direction where the firewood cart was going away just now, and said, "I thought you were here to help those two big brothers." ”

Leng Yi followed Qingqiang's gaze, and soon saw the firewood cart, but the firewood cart had already reached a turnaround on the road, and disappeared at the intersection in the blink of an eye, almost equivalent to almost leaving the back door of the Shifu.

"Ha, that's the fifth brother and the seventh brother." Retracting his gaze, he said coldly: "It's the fifth brother and the seventh brother who want to help me, and in the future, I must live next door to the courtyard where the eldest lady lives, and they will clean up the firewood house." ”

"Oh......" Qingqiang hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "These trivial affairs, you can call the miscellaneous servants in the house to do it, aren't the two eldest brothers just doing things for Xiangye?" ”
