Recently, she is happy to be idle and doesn't want to cause trouble, but someone wants to commit it in her hands. Then don't blame her for not being emotional, she has always been good at killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

Hearing this, Zhuo Jing looked up at Xie Yaoguang's slightly cold eyes and bowed out, before leaving, Xie Yaoguang suddenly stopped him and said softly: "Zhuo Jing, how long have you been following me." ”

"Fifteen years."

"It's been fifteen years, is it so long" Xie Yaoguang raised his hand to cover the fan on his chin, and a smile appeared on his lips: "I can't even remember myself, it's hard for you to remember it so clearly." You have come such a long way with me over the years, even if you are not a relative, you have long been like a relative. ”

Zhuo Jing looked at it respectfully, and Xie Yaoguang, who was leaning on the bamboo couch, bowed down and withdrew from the Water Pavilion.

However, he did not go far, but instead lived in the bamboo forest not far from the Water Pavilion, looking at the Water Pavilion, and his eyes showed a trace of melancholy.

As a shadow guard, it is naturally impossible for the Lord to know about his existence. He lurks in a dark corner all day long, and is not allowed to walk in the sun. Since she was assigned to Xie Yaoguang, she has guarded her side and watched her grow up little by little.

He originally thought that Xie Yaoguang had never known that he existed, until the Gu family suffered the disaster of the clan, and all the secret guards cultivated by the Gu family were in trouble.

Just as they were about to go their separate ways, the girl stepped on the moon in the wind and snow.

"Zhuo Jing, in fact, I have always known about your existence."

That day, the girl in white stood quietly in front of him in the snowy moonlight, the girl's body was wrapped in a thick fox fur, her left hand held the stove, and her right hand was holding the jade pendant that symbolized the identity of the Gu family patriarch.

The girl looked at him coldly, and there was a hint of expectation in her eyes. He said something to him that shocked him and made him determined to follow him to life and death.

It turns out that she has always known about her existence?

"Will you follow me and accompany me on a treacherous path? And I give it to you, you want to live. The girl held out her hand to him, and the moonlight cast a faint halo on her.

"The subordinates must follow the young lady, no matter life or death." He looked up at the face that was slightly more mature than he remembered, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.

"Very well, you really didn't disappoint me." The girl smiled at him, "I hope you can retrain me with a blade that can be used by me." ”

Since that day, he has been free from his identity as a shadow guard and has returned to walking in the sun. He had trained her a loyal blade that could be used by her, and stood by her side as she walked the perilous path. Inherit a promise, and will fulfill its deeds.

Zhuo Jing, who came back from his memories, realized that the girl in his memory had gone farther and farther.

There has always been an identity gap between the two of them, and even if they are all together, they can't cross it. What his father asked him at that time is vivid. This is the path he is willing to take.

The next day at noon. Xie Yaoguang took Suzaku and Zhuo Jing to Caoyun Wharf together. Zhuo Jing, who was riding on a horse, was extremely quiet all the way, and from time to time he moved his eyes to look at the carriage where Xie Yaoguang was, and the beautiful dream of last night suddenly appeared in his mind.

The people in the dream are delicate, and they can't stop when they want to refuse to rest. Thinking of this, he silently clenched the reins in his hand.

When there is no leisure at Caoyun Wharf all year round, Xie Yaoguang came to Caoyun Wharf at the busiest time. However, naturally, the people of the Xie family had already arranged a pergola on the dock, so that Xie Yaoguang could wait inside.

Watching boxes of cargo being lifted off cargo ships, I occasionally heard someone complaining about how the cargo was so heavy.

Xie Yaoguang hooked her lips and sneered, she knew that there had always been many people who had smuggled goods through Caoyun, but as long as it did not damage the country, no one would naturally interfere. The smile on her lips deepened as she saw someone carrying a box with the royal seal engraved on it moving past her eyes.

"Miss, the Xie family's cargo ship is here." Zhu, the supervisor in charge of the Xie family's Cao Yun, walked into the pergola and said respectfully.

"Well, let's go and see what it is." Picking up the shawl hanging on the ground, Xie Yaoguang's eyes flashed with playfulness, "Vermilion Bird." ”

Suzaku walked out of the pergola first, holding up an umbrella and waiting for Xie Yaoguang.

The cargo ship painted with the Xie family's emblem stopped at the edge of the dock, and the first to come down was a woman in a green dress, holding a ball of snow white in her arms. When she saw Xie Yaoguang on the dock, she walked over quickly and glanced at the Vermilion Bird beside Xie Yaoguang with a little reproach.

"Subordinate Qingluan to meet Miss." Qingluan bowed to Xie Yaoguang with a respectful tone.

"Luan'er has worked hard for you this time." Xie Yaoguang raised his hand to signal her to get up, his eyes fell on the snow-white ball in Qingluan's arms, and chuckled: "Persian cat? I guess the second brother asked you to bring it?"

"Miss Yu, it was indeed brought by the second son's subordinates. The second son was afraid that you would be bored in Gusu, so he asked his subordinates to bring it over. Hearing this, he chuckled, and Qingluan handed the white cat in his hand to Xie Yaoguang.

"Second brother bothered." Xie Yaoguang had a smile in his eyes, and lowered his head to caress the back of the white cat, the cat seemed to be extremely comfortable being caressed by Xie Yaoguang, so he lazily opened his eyes and whispered.

While a few people were talking, Steward Zhu had already instructed his subordinates to count the goods transported one by one, and record them in the book just for Xie Yaoguang to see.

Xie Yaoguang took the account book, glanced at the goods that had been sorted out and nodded, and signaled that Steward Zhu could let people carry the goods back and settle them first.

Out of the corner of his eye, when he caught a glimpse of two people staring at Xie Yaoguang not far away, Qingluan frowned slightly. glanced at Xie Yaoguang when she was about to speak, but Zhuo Jing pulled her sleeves, and she looked at Zhuo Jing puzzled.

Zhuo Jing motioned for her to look in the direction Xie Yaoguang was looking, but at some point Xie Yaoguang's gaze had fallen on the two people who were walking towards their location, dressed as officials.

"His Royal Highness King Ding, Lord Xia." Xie Yaoguang frowned and bowed his knees.

Ye Linchen looked at Xie Yaoguang, who was standing in front of him with a smile, and his face was slightly stunned. However, Xia Fu, who was beside him, just glanced at Xie Yaoguang and sneered with some disdain.

It didn't seem to notice his move, but Xie Yaoguang still maintained a smile on his face.

"Miss Xie is also there? Are you here to do things for King Shou?" Xia Fu said angrily to Xie Yaoguang: "Good guy, there are a lot of good things here, right?" ”

She didn't pay attention to Xia Fu's provocation, but raised her hand to brush the broken hair at the corner of her forehead, covered her lips and smiled: "It just so happens that another batch of goods from the Xie family is about to arrive today, so I'll come over to take a look." Why are you here, Your Highness the King Ding?"

"Lord Xia recently got the news that someone would take advantage of Cao Yun to bring a batch of illicit salt into Beijing and raise the price to be greedy. There was not enough manpower in the household department, so he borrowed someone from me to inspect the area. Ye Linchen glanced at Xie Yaoguang, who had a calm look in his eyes, he always felt that the matter of private salt was set up by Xie Yaoguang.
