Chapter 608: Moon Shadow
The way proposed by Liu Yi eliminated all concerns, and the only thing that needed to be done next was to wait for the most suitable time, but now that Nanban has not been decided, and Jingzhou's government affairs have not completely returned to the previous normal state, it is obviously not suitable.
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was just white, the General's Mansion, which had been silent for ten days, suddenly became lively.
Dozens of dragon and tiger guards quickly dispatched and rushed to all sides, urgently summoning all the high-level civil and military forces who were still in Xiangyang.
This dragon and tiger guard was the master carefully selected from the army, spy and folk to protect Wang Xu and his family.
These people are not only outstanding in martial arts, but also have unique skills, or proficient in formation, or proficient in poison, or proficient in medical skills, or proficient in traps, or proficient in tracking and assassination, in short, all of them are outstanding, and more importantly, they must also go through a strict loyalty test, and the person in charge is Liu Yi, the general of the five senses of the imperial court in the early years, and Shan Huai, the spy commander.
As early as a few years ago, after Liu Yi just proposed that the safety of the general's mansion could not be completely handed over to the Guards, this Dragon and Tiger Guard began to be formed.
In the early days, Liu Yi and Shan Huai carefully selected from the thief Cao and the spy shadow respectively, and then looked for people with specialties in the army to cultivate, and then recruited civilian strange people and green forest heroes, the training location of these people, even Wang Xu is not very clear, only know that there is a large budget invested in it every year.
Over the years, Wang Xu has also inadvertently asked when it will come in handy, but Liu Yi and Shan Huai have not appeared for a long time on the grounds that their strength is not enough and their loyalty has not been fully confirmed.
Until Wang Xu went north. During the civil strife in Jingzhou. This group of talents finally officially appeared as a formation. Took over the duties of guard from the guards.
As for the necessary soldiers on duty in the General's Mansion, they are organized into a group of five hundred janissaries, although they are more often purely as a symbol of authority, but they are also composed of the strongest soldiers in Jingzhou, and in the same case, even Gao Shun's trap camp is far behind, because of these janissaries. It was the elite who were selected again from those elite troops.
This also means that Wang Xu's guard system is really formed, and a large number of elite guards are the troops that accompany him in the southern and northern wars, responsible for protecting the safety of his battlefield, and the commander is also his most trusted and favorite super general, Dian Wei!
The super-strong 500 Praetorian Guards became the façade, and the strength of this force was unquestionable, but it would never go on a campaign. They have only one duty, to stay in Xiangyang. Guarding the General's Mansion and guarding the various actions of Wang Xu and his relatives in the sphere of influence.
In addition, there is also a female guard team that has been trained for many years, controlled by Xu Shu, Zhao Yu and other women, and now the female guards brought by Sun Shangxiang are about to be merged, although the number is only a thousand, but the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, all of them are masters of both internal and external cultivation, their task is very simple, responsible for the duty of the general's mansion. At the same time, if one of the women goes with them, they will also be accompanied by men, one to escort and the other to take care of.
In the end, it is the real core guard group, which is equivalent to the dragon and tiger guards of the later generations of internal guards, they also have only one duty, they are ready to be dispatched at any time, to protect safety, and more strictly, Liu Yi has been a hereditary system for them from the beginning, they are old, or unfortunately die, and the descendants will be on top.
Of course, the treatment and glory they receive is also the highest, and they are not subject to the jurisdiction of anyone other than Wang Xu, only the spy has the responsibility to supervise them, and they do not need to pay a big salute to any civil and military generals. Although the family is regulated, it also enjoys the training and high-quality living supply of the general's mansion for generations, unless Wang Xu excludes him from the team, or naturally eliminates the successor because the strength of the successor does not meet the requirements.
The entire group of guards, currently set at a quota of 100 people, also represents 100 families, and if no one of these 100 families is eliminated in the future, then no new people will be admitted, and if one dies, he will be replaced by his direct descendants, unless there is no suitable person, and when his offspring reaches adulthood, the qualified person must join, and there is no limit to the number of people who join.
At present, because of the large number of men, they are divided into the dragon group and the tiger group, and the women all belong to the phoenix group.
The day after Wang Xu returned to Xiangyang, he had officially contacted them, and after a general understanding, he was really overjoyed, he had no doubt that no one would be able to use assassination, kidnapping and other means to threaten him and his family in the future, although he was not afraid of assassination, but after all, there were weak women such as Cai Yan and Diao Chan at home, and there were children, and now with the protection of these strange people, there would be no worries......
Long Huwei usually does not wear armor, they are all plainclothes, and they only use special tokens to prove their identity.
The civil and military ministers of Jingzhou also knew this, so after receiving their report, they did not have any suspicions and rushed to the general's mansion one after another.
"Lord, the Dragon Group has completed the summons to all the civil and military ministers, and I am here to return my life!"
"Huh? So fast? ”
Wang Xu, who was enjoying breakfast, turned around and looked at the woman in front of him in a daze.
This woman is in her twenties, named Moon Shadow, who was reduced to a small military prostitute under the influence of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, for half a year, until Wang Xu seized Hanzhong, she was released, she was only a teenager at the time, and was included in the waiting group because she was homeless.
According to the usual practice, various departments in Jingzhou will take the lead in selecting talents with various potentials among these people to be treated, and then arrange the rest to settle in the township.
Spy Shadow likes this kind of person the most, because many of them have nothing to worry about, and there are even people with a lot of potential.
At that time, Shan Huai personally selected suitable seedlings, but he fell in love with this girl at a glance, not only because her beauty was a good talent for fine work, but also because at that time, everyone else was anxious about whether life or death would follow, speculating about how he would be treated, but his face was calm, but he comforted the people around him and said: "Don't panic, after the Jingzhou Army rescues me, there will be a proper placement." ”
Subsequently, Shan Huai learned that this teenage girl was actually rescued from Zhang Lu's military prostitute camp, and immediately took her to a secluded corner and stretched out a hand to her: "If you want to live with more dignity, hand over your life and loyalty, and follow me!" I can give you ......."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the little girl stepped forward and grabbed his hand, and said in an extremely firm tone: "If you can give me a chance to wash away the shame of the past, I am willing to hand over a qiē, including my life and loyalty!" ”
At that time, even Shan Huai didn't expect that this girl would be so good later, under the cultivation of the spy shadow, in just half a year, she already had the ability to perform tasks alone, he felt that this girl was a big person, and then sent it to the Longhuwei training ground, which was considered to be the completion of the promise given to him a chance.
Although this girl started very late compared to the rest of the Dragon Tiger Guard, and she didn't have any special skills for drawing a sword, she had a strong heart.
After getting excellent martial arts and a superior training environment, her hard work is shocking, and she doesn't treat herself as a person, except for studying, training, eating, and resting, she does nothing.
Shan Huai and Liu Yi saw that they worked so hard, and they also focused on training, as long as she was willing to practice and learn, they would provide her with conditions.
Unexpectedly, in just a few years, this girl, with her super high comprehension and hard work beyond the limit, has grown to the point of smacking people, and in terms of martial arts alone, she has surpassed most of the masters who have practiced martial arts for many years in Dragon Tiger Guard, which can be called a miracle.
Her madness has conquered everyone, and more importantly, she is very intelligent, learns everything quickly, and rarely makes mistakes.
When Shan Huai decided to bring the dragon and tiger guards to the front of the people, the phoenix group that was out of the plan was born, and all the women separated from the dragon group and the tiger group and gathered together, and the leader was this woman who created the miracle of zào.
It was also on that day that she gave herself a name, Moon Shadow.
Wang Xu saw these things from the information, and the information was sent by Shan Huai, on the information of everyone in Long Huwei, Liu Yi and Shan Huai made long annotations, only this moon shadow, both of them only used one sentence: can take on a big responsibility.
"Lord, if it's our phoenix group, the speed will be faster!" Facing Wang Xu's surprise, Moon Shadow said calmly.
"Hehe, sending a letter is not a trivial matter, just let those men do it!" Wang Xu smiled: "By the way, Moon Shadow, I heard Shan Huai say that you took the name yourself, why did you choose the name Moon Shadow?" What was it called before? ”
This sentence was deliberate, he had long known from the information that Moon Shadow was the most taboo about the past, so he deliberately said it, which was a little temptation and observation.
Moonshadow's beautiful face instantly showed a look of pain, and her face changed, as if she was recalling the unbearable past.
It took a long time before he replied with difficulty: "Lord, my subordinates used to be called ......."
"Enough!" Wang Xu stopped suddenly, looked at his beautiful deployment with a smile, and said indifferently: "I suddenly don't want to know your previous name, but I want to know why you named Moon Shadow?" ”
Moon Shadow breathed a long sigh of relief, and it was an extremely heavy pain for her to pronounce her previous name, and in the face of the second question, she obviously relaxed a lot, and replied: "Because my subordinates like the moon, and every time I look at the moon, I feel that I am the shadow of the moon." ”
"You're a man with a heart." Wang Xu smiled,
"Lord? What do you mean ......" Moon Shadow was confused, he didn't understand what that meant.
"People who like the moon are sentient beings!" Wang Xu smiled and said, "What about your former family?" ”
"Dead!" Moon Shadow replied.
Wang Xu looked at her silently, he knew in his heart that this time Moon Shadow lied, because she was sold by her parents and became a military prostitute, and because of this, he trusted Moon Shadow even more, because he felt that this woman still had emotions hidden in her heart and had not really become a machine.
After a while, he suddenly got up and stood up, and left without looking back: "You go down first, remember, in the future, you can follow my surname, surnamed Wang!" You should understand what I mean! ”
Moon Shadow was stunned on the spot, looking at the strong back in a daze, and two lines of tears ran down her cheeks.
It wasn't until Wang Xu had already walked away that she knelt on the ground with a "poof", kowtowed, and said, "Lord, Wang Yueying will not fall into the name of the Wang family!" (To be continued......)
