Cheng Bingling smiled: "Don't think about it, Bai Xueyao will become popular when she writes "Dream of Red Mansions", completely because of her protagonist's aura. Otherwise, with this writing, how can it be popular. Besides, in the novel, in addition to "Dream of Red Mansions", she also has no shortage of "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", which will be published one after another. I wrote it, maybe she will sue me for plagiarism and infringement. ”

Shang Jinnan smiled and disagreed.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of Ying Yi came from outside the door:

"Master."

"Come in."

Shadow pushed open the door, entered the room, and said with a fist: "Subordinates see master." He glanced up at Cheng Bingling and was silent.

Shang Jinnan smiled and said, "Yingyi, it's okay, she's her own person." ”

Cheng Bingling sat on the chair and held her chin, and when she heard Shang Jinnan's words, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook slightly.

When Ying heard this, he didn't say anything more, and immediately reported his results in the past few days to Shang Jinnan and knew: "My subordinates have found more than 30 lonely and helpless children of three to four years old. They have been placed in a remote place outside the city. His subordinates have developed a series of training plans, and they will definitely train them to be the most loyal Deadpool of your master. He took out a small notebook from his sleeve and respectfully handed it to Shang Jinnan: "Master, please take a look." ”

Shang Jinnan took the small book in Ying's hand, Cheng Bingling was also very curious, and stepped forward to look at the small book, the training content written in it was very detailed.

Shang Jinnan looked at Ying Yi and said, "According to this plan, it will take several years to train someone who belongs to me, right?" ”

Keichi replied, "It depends on their qualifications. The subordinates have calculated, if it is fast, it will take five years, and if it is slow, it will take ten years. ”

Cheng Bingling frowned after hearing this and said, "This is too slow." Can't we just find some people who are strong in martial arts? "In five years, it is too easy for things to happen, and with the current situation that they have no power and no power, they can establish their own power as soon as possible.

Ying Yi said: "This is difficult, people in the rivers and lakes with strong martial arts are used to freedom, and they have their own personalities. It's not easy for us to manage, and the loyalty is not high. At the same time, in order to attract them to join, there must be sufficient deterrence. "For example, like Shang Shaoyong, the world-famous god of war, Shang Shaoyong has made friends with various martial arts masters on weekdays.

"And, even if they were willing to join, their actions were too conspicuous. I'm afraid it will attract the attention of all parties, which is a bad thing for us. Kageichi continued: "It's different for children who are three or four years old, we can train their loyalty from a young age, and the people selected by our subordinates are good materials for martial arts, I believe that over time, they can become loyal and reliable shadows." ”

"Hmm......" Cheng Bingling understood that Ying Yi was right, but he was a little uncomfortable in his heart, in modern times, children of three to four years old are still in an innocent and romantic time, and now, these children have to work hard to practice martial arts and work hard for themselves.

Cheng Bingling, who came from the era of peace, felt that these children were a little pitiful.

Shang Jinnan stretched out his hand to hold Cheng Bingling's hand, Cheng Bingling looked over in surprise, and Shang Jinnan smiled at her: "Don't worry." He looked at Eichi and said, "Eichi, you are very reasonable, although this is the case, but I think with our current situation, we really can't wait for five years." Kageichi, I'm sure you won't fail to understand our situation, and with your abilities, I believe you must have a second plan, right? ”

"The master is wise, and his subordinates do have a second plan." Shadow One said: "I don't know if the master knows the unspoken rules of our shadow guards? ”

"Oh?" Shang Jinnan raised his eyebrows and made a gesture of "please": "I would like to hear about it." ”

Shadow One said: "There are ten of us Shadow Guards, and from Shadow One to Shadow Ten represents the strength of our abilities. In addition to the ten of us, there are thousands of prepared shadows behind us. They are not numbered and have been training silently in the training camp. Every year, we will hold an internal selection to determine the top 10 from the shadows, and then we will play against us, and the winner will replace the number of the loser, and after the final ten winners are determined, the ranking of the ten Shadow Guards will be re-evaluated and the number will be updated. Every year, the old shadow guard is kicked out by the new one and replaced. ”

"Wow, aren't you stressed out?" Cheng Bingling was fascinated by what she heard, and she couldn't help but sigh, this survival of the fittest, the selection system of natural selection is really cruel!

Shadow One said: "My subordinates are used to it, our shadow guards have been screened layer by layer since childhood, and the ten people who can finally become Shadow One to Shadow Ten are the strongest. ”

Cheng Bingling asked curiously, "Then you're not the strongest?!" ”

Keichi shook his head and said, "No, I'm not the strongest. Prior to this year, I had been called 'Shadow II' for several years in a row. ”

Shang Jinnan said with a smile: "I guess what you said next is the point, that person should be the former Eichi?" ”

Shadow One said respectfully: "The master is really smart, when I was still Shadow One, Shadow One was a legendary person, he won the title of 'Shadow One' for ten consecutive years, setting a record that no one has defeated so far." If it weren't for that accident, it is estimated that he would still be the current Eichi. ”

Cheng Bingling knew that there was a story here when she heard it, and she hurriedly asked, "What happened to him?" ”

Keichi continued: "Since ancient times, the hero was sad about the beauty pass, and he fell in love with someone during a mission. ”

Cheng Bingling reached out and picked up a cup of teacup, took a sip and asked, "Who?!" ”

Ying Yi said: "The world-famous enchantress Lan Wangshu. ”

"Poof!" Cheng Bingling squirted out a mouthful of water: "Who are you talking about?!" ”

Although Ying Yi was puzzled by Cheng Bingling's performance, he still repeated: "In a mission, he contacted Lan Wangshu and fell in love with her, and after the two were together for a while, they didn't know what happened, and Ying Yi suddenly became decadent for a while. ”

He still remembered that time, he saw him standing alone on the city wall, drinking alone to the moon, and getting drunk. Then in the internal tryout of the shadow guard, they faced each other.

On that day, as if with the help of God, he easily defeated this legendary man and won the title of Keichi.

The man's face was haggard, and he looked at Eichi with a gentle smile: "Congratulations, you will be Eichi from now on." ”

The man handed him his number plate, a tag, and with a wave of his hand, he turned and disappeared into the setting sun.

Eichi knew that in that game, the man deliberately released the water, although he didn't understand why, but Eichi knew that the man didn't want to continue to be Eichi, so he chose to retire.

Shang Jinnan asked, "So, you want me to find him?" Let him be subject to me? ”

Keichi said, "Yes." As far as I know, after he became a shadow guard, he assumed the name of Lan Ying and opened a dart game, in which all the shadows who had quit the shadow guard in the past were recruited. If your master can convert him, you will undoubtedly gain a powerful force. ”

Shang Jinnan pondered for a moment and asked, "Who else knows about him?" ”

Shadow One said: "Unless you pay special attention, it is estimated that no one knows, after all, the shadow guard has always come and gone without a shadow, as long as it is not publicized, who knows who has ever been a shadow guard." ”

Shang Jinnan thought for a while and said: "Ying Yi, let's go in two steps, you train those children according to the plan you ordered, you don't have to worry about money, give those children the best food and clothing." I will not treat them badly if I am my person. As for the Arashi Shadow you mentioned, I'll go and meet him someday. ”

Eichi replied and turned to leave.

Cheng Bingling saw Ying Yi leave one by one, and immediately came to Shang Jinnan's side and said: "Hey, I said that Lan Wangshu is a man, after you said that Ying Yi liked Lan Wangshu, did he suddenly find that he liked a man?" Then I couldn't accept it, so I borrowed wine to kill my sorrows, and finally I didn't want to be a shadow guard. ”

Wow, what a play!

Shang Jinnan shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten? Lan Wangshu has another identity, the prince of the former dynasty. You said that as Eichi, he must be loyal to the emperor, but the person he likes is the emperor's enemy. When the two stand on opposite sides, loyalty and righteousness are in a dilemma. He must have gone through some struggle before deciding not to be a shadow guard. ”

After Cheng Bingling heard this, he felt that Shang Jinnan might have really told the truth. She whispered, "In that case, will he still submit to us?" ”

Shang Jinnan said: "I can't say for sure, let's talk about it after we meet." ”

"Hmm." Cheng Bingling nodded, she put her shoulder on Shang Jinnan's shoulder and said, "Hey, Shang Jinnan." ”

"How?" Shang Jinnan asked.

Cheng Bingling lowered his head and looked at the hand he was still holding and said, "How long are you going to hold my hand?" ”

Shang Jinnan realized that their hands were still holding together, and he let go of Cheng Bingling's hand and said, "Sorry, I forgot." ”

Cheng Bingling saw Shang Jinnan let go of his hand and smiled, "Thank you for comforting me just now." ”

"You're welcome." Shang Jinnan said softly: "I understand your feelings. "They all come from a peaceful era, and Shang Jinnan does not have the habit of employing child laborers to work for himself, "Cheng Bingling, think about it from another angle, those children are orphans, lonely, we can still provide them with basic food, clothing, shelter and transportation, I can only guarantee that before they reach adulthood, try not to arrange tasks that endanger their lives." ”

Cheng Bingling smiled: "I understand, special treatment in extraordinary times." I was just thinking, when the emperor's birthday banquet is over, let's go see these children. ”

Shang Jinnan smiled and said, "Okay." ”

In the Three Princes' Mansion, Bai Xueyao woke up slowly, her whole person was held in her arms by Shang Shaoyong, she raised her eyes and looked, only to see Shang Shaoyong with a serious face.

Bai Xueyao raised his hand and touched Shang Shaoyong's frowning brow.

"Are you awake?" Shang Shaoyong's voice was low and hoarse, and he looked particularly charming in the dark night.

Bai Xue asked softly, "What are you worried about?" They all frowned. ”

Shang Shaoyong said: "I'm thinking, in a few days, Amma's birthday banquet, what gift should I give him." ”

Bai Xueyao smiled: "What's so difficult about this, I heard that Lan Wangshu is the most beautiful beauty in the world, why not invite her into the palace to dance for the emperor?" ”

There is probably no man in the world who doesn't like beauty. Otherwise, there would be no saying that there are three thousand beauties in the harem.

Bai Xueyao's idea is very simple, since the emperor likes beauties, then they will find a beauty to go up and dance, if the emperor takes a fancy to it and is included in the palace, it can disgust the queen.

Today, the struggle for power is divided into two factions, one is the three princes of the god of war, who has repeatedly achieved miraculous feats, and the other is the son of the queen, the crown prince.

Like what Bai Xue Yao mentioned——

Not only can a chess piece be planted next to Amma, but also disgusting the enemy's idea, Shang Shaoyong thinks it is very good, and at the moment, he is busy sending someone to inform Lan Wangshu about the emperor's birthday.

A few days later, the carriage carrying Cheng Bingling and Shang Jinnan left the Four Kings' Mansion and went straight to a mansion, where the archway in front of the mansion was written with gold lacquer dragons and phoenixes dancing "The First Dart Game".
