Chapter 23: The Single-Wooden Bridge

After Ke Li sent Ye Qianling to Hu Guangshen, he went out directly, and when he saw that the two people who had just carried the stretcher were leaving, he immediately opened his mouth to stop him, "Wait." The two people turned back in horror, although in Nanyuan in the western suburbs, although Chief Ke was relatively silent and kind to others, he rarely saw him criticize anyone ruthlessly, but his posture of not being angry and threatening made people shudder.

"If you just heard something you shouldn't have heard, it is better to remember one thing, people who talk less are easy to live." Ke Li pretended to be a kind reminder, but the two people hurriedly glanced at each other and knelt on their knees, "Chief Lord, the subordinates don't dare, the subordinates really don't know anything, they don't hear anything." ”

Ke Li looked at the two secret guards kneeling on the ground, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that these two people were definitely not people who could hide things. Ke Li thought that among the group of people who graduated this year, because the number of people who passed was only a dozen, and it did not meet the standard of the number of graduates, those pedantic nobles selected two people to be added to the secret guards who passed according to the lottery. Originally, Ke Li didn't agree, but for more than ten years, the number of secret guards has been very small, only eighteen this year, not even twenty people, those people are afraid that Emperor Guangde will have any thoughts after knowing about this matter, and even abolish the Nanyuan in the western suburbs, and those leading Nanyuan nobles secretly added two, enough for twenty.

I don't know what these people think, Ke Li is really puzzled, two more people feel that there are more people who have passed? It's just hilarious. But the matter is a foregone conclusion, and the list has been sent away, so I can only accept it helplessly.

Because these two people were originally rich sons, because the murder was really impossible for the family to protect, the matter was stabbed and put in prison. Later, the relatives thought of this way to save their lives, and their relatives outside bought these nobles with a large amount of silver, and then saved their lives, so that they could continue to stay here, and after a year of good behavior, they could recognize their relatives as their masters and go home. I never thought that when this happened, the two of them didn't know when they would come out of the remote Qingyun Peak.

"You go to Qingyun Peak now, you are not allowed to come out without my order, when the time comes, I will naturally release you." Ke Li waved his hand and said to the two men.

One of them was about to say something, but the other boy reached out and pulled him to stop him from talking. Except for the harsh environment and the lack of freedom, the rest of Qingyun Peak is much better than this western suburb Nanyuan, mainly not to worry about when there is no reason to do any task, when to be killed, the nobles who have been bought can protect them for a while, but they can't protect them for a lifetime. But if they continue to stay here, they will be put under house arrest just because they heard that sentence just now, and it is conceivable that if they do not leave, their lives will even be in danger.

Ke Li looked at the backs of the two people leaving quickly, not knowing what he was thinking.

I don't know what will happen in the next two years. What will become of the five princesses in two years.

Where is this? When Ye Qianling opened his eyes, he saw a room that he had never seen before, there was only white on the roof of the shed, and he looked sideways to see that it was a small room with eight beds. The environment is not bad or bad, clean but empty, just alone.

After Hu Guangshen and Ye Qiange finished treating their injuries, they went back, the longer they stayed here, the more difficult it was for Ye Qianling's identity to hide, in this kind of place, if the identity of the princess was exposed, people with other intentions would take advantage of this opportunity to make a move, and then Ye Qianling's life would be tested.

The wound was wrapped in a thick white cloth, thicker than the last time, and when I gasped, the wound was tightly attached to the cotton cloth, and I felt uncomfortable, and I didn't dare to move vigorously, and my hands and feet were cautious. In the past three days, I have been anesthetic twice, and my body is a little unbearable, I feel that my limbs are sore, and I always feel inexplicably sleepy, and I don't want to get up when I lie in bed, and I can't lift my spirits. Quietly pondering on the bed, his eyes hollow, staring blankly at the white ceiling above the room.

It's all like this, why do you want to let yourself live, why is the fourth brother unwilling to help him, why do you want to let yourself live this life that is worse than death. Where is the meaning of persistence, I really can't think of it. Nobody wants to be alive, no one. The father will never be able to forgive himself, and the elder brother and sister, just look at the red and swollen circles under the eyes of the fourth brother Ye Qiange before he came to Nanyuan, and the matter of the queen mother cannot be made up. Do you want to persevere? Ye Qianling was really conflicted, tears quietly fell a few drops from the corners of her eyes, and after realizing it, she immediately stretched out her arm to hide the gaffe just now, even if no one saw it. Many people say that when a woman is born, she should be pampered, probably because she has enjoyed too much in the past fifteen years, and God wants to retract her preference.

Ye Qianling thought about it for a long time, thinking about his father's former favor, and thinking of his mother's choice of death to save him, for a long time. If you don't insist on it anymore, if you suffer so much, you have to find death and life, how can you be worthy of your mother's suicide to save yourself?

Haha, Ye Qianling smiled bitterly in her heart, she was too amusing herself, was she tortured and cheap?

is smiling bitterly at self-irony, looking down and seeing the black clothes exclusive to the secret guard on his body, this black dress has no embellishments on it, and it is just ordinary fabric, no matter how hot and cold it is all year round, you can only wear this kind of clothing, if you see a person in thin black clothes on a cold and snowy day, then you don't have to think about it, it is a real secret guard, because the secret guard in the night country is the lowest level, there is no human rights, you can be trampled and humiliated at will, and you are not qualified to wear warm and expensive clothes.

Is it to be assessed? This thought suddenly came out of Ye Qianling's mind, and she slowly straightened up, got up from the bed with great difficulty, and ran out. If you can't participate in the assessment, there is no way to meet the requirements of your father, and there is no way to go out after two years.

As soon as he opened the door, two middle-aged men dressed in black stood in front of Ye Qianling, his voice did not fluctuate, and he said formulaically: "You can't go out, this is the boss's order." ”

The boss is talking about Ke Li, and the people who can call him the boss are all brothers who came out of the same period as Ke Li. Although Corrie is not a secret guard, he was fortunate enough to be able to go out on the battlefield with the dark guards because he was a civilian, and formed a deep friendship. During that time, it was the best time for the dark guards, at that time, the ownerless dark guards were a little close to the commoners, and the training did not make people worse than death like now, but since the arrival of these nobles in charge of the southern garden in the western suburbs, everything has changed again, and it has returned to the era of cruel dark guards.

These people are all similar in age to Emperor Guangde, they are all Ye Qianling's uncles and uncles, and they have practiced martial arts for many years. What's more, Ye Qianling still has such a serious injury on his body, which should be the reason why Ke Li dares to leave at will and is not afraid of going out of this door by himself.

Ye Qianling has no vitality now, but instinctively wants to complete Emperor Guangde's requirements, and doesn't want to disappoint him, otherwise once someone knows that Ye Qianling, the outstanding fifth princess of the royal family, has not even passed the assessment of Nanyuan in the western suburbs, and when the time comes, the royal family will be disgraced.

"Two adults, the little girl is one of the participants in this assessment, because of her livelihood, she must pass this assessment, can the two adults be accommodating, let me go out of this door, and participate in this assessment, okay?" Ye Qianling's face was pale because his body had just undergone surgery, his lips were not bloody, and the sound he made felt that he was lacking in qi, making people feel that he could fall as long as he gently pushed Ye Qianling.

After Ye Qianling finished speaking, seeing the obviously undeniable appearance of these two people, he sighed silently in his heart, and sure enough, these two people already knew who they were. Also, the time spent learning martial arts under Ke Li is calculated by years, as his good brother, how could he not have seen this five princesses of the royal family who were once deeply favored and proficient in literary and martial arts.

Ye Qianling knew that it was absolutely impossible to get out, and looked at one of the men, who didn't pay attention to himself, "When you come here, you are a secret guard, don't remember the previous things, if you are lucky enough to pass the assessment, there will be a secret guard number, remembering the past will only increase your troubles." The man was stunned for a moment when he saw Ye Qianling, and did not continue the topic: "I'm closed, I'll bring you the food in when it's dinner time, the Fourth Highness said that you are too weak now, and the meal must be eaten normally, otherwise it may be difficult to live a normal life, let alone the martial arts assessment." Soon the first assessment will be over and you will meet your roommate. ”

When Ye Qianling heard the last sentence, he was about to leave next to the two of them and go out. "What are you doing? Thought you could get out of this door? With the level of your injuries now, is it possible for us to do so? It was this man who stopped her, but it was the man next to her who didn't say a word who blocked her way more quickly, and the speed of her body made people who were used to seeing too many kung fu strongs stunned and didn't react.

"You," Ye Qianling saw this speed, and still didn't come back to his senses in shock, Nanyuan in the western suburbs is really a master, this person's martial arts are almost on par with Ke Li, but they have been hidden deeply, making Ye Qianling instantly feel that after staying in this place for two years, as long as he has strong willpower, it is still possible to gain something. What's more, I was walking on a single-plank bridge, and there was only one way to get dark, "If I don't participate in the assessment, there is no way to stay here, so you still won't let me go?" ”

"Look at the clothes you're wearing, if you're not in here, will you be able to wear this? In the huge western suburbs of Nanyuan, don't you even have a normal piece of clothing? The talkative man shook his head helplessly.

It's not that the legend Ye Qianling is eccentric and extremely smart, what kind of thing is this, silly and stupid, Fu Hui really has to doubt the authenticity of the rumors. looked at Qi Shanghe, who had never liked to speak, and the latter seemed to think of him together.

Fu Hui and Qi Shanghe have been brothers with Ke Li for many years, and they have always known that Ke Li particularly admires Ye Qianling, saying that this person is sensible and knowledgeable, and this huge contrast makes Fu Hui not want to deal with her.
