Speaking of the incident four days ago, Leng Shiyi did not show any other expression on his face.

As Lin Ruo guessed, the master who hid in the shadows that day was indeed him.

Ye Ling was kind to him, so, in return, he agreed to Ye Ling to be Lin Ruo's guard.

But after all, he was a little unwilling in his heart, so he had been secretly observing her for the past few days. is not afraid of danger in the face of the man in black, dealing with the truth with the fake from the palace, strategizing to make things big under the pretense of the prince, using the Rongwang Mansion to lure him out, and fearless in the face of him, a killer.

Leng Shiyi was shocked in his heart: she didn't look like a fifteen-year-old deep boudoir lady!

Probably from the time she heard that she was going to Beishi to pick people, she had already guessed that Murong Chong had arranged her own people to be her guards, right? Maybe earlier, when she made a request to Steward Tao, she had already guessed the decision Murong Chong would make.

What is Rongwang's Mansion? How many military secrets and border guards are among them, how could Murong Chong agree to let Lin Ruo bring a few unknown people into the mansion? Therefore, the person Lin Ruo was able to pick must be the person who Murong Chong had carefully selected, came out of King Rong's Mansion, and returned to King Rong's Mansion.

But Murong Chong wouldn't have thought that Lin Ruo took advantage of this and broke his game.

Leng Shiyi looked at Lin Ruo's eyes, and his clear and fearless gaze was a little compelling.

He finally realized what Ye Ling meant by "she is different from most women".

This woman, but she seems to have a natural majesty, fearless and fearless. But in the blink of an eye, this aura on her body will dissipate without a trace, just like a child, making people feel gentle and harmless.

Seeing that the corners of Lin Ruo's mouth were raised, showing an undisguised smug smile, Leng Shiyi couldn't help but ask, "You haven't answered my question yet." ”

Leng Shiyi read Ye Ling's letter to Lin Ruo, and his identity was not named in the letter. At this point, it is not surprising that no one would blatantly write on the gift list the fact that a guard is a killer.

In this case, how did Lin Ruo guess it?

Lin Ruo smiled calmly and stretched out his hand to Leng Shiyi, Leng Shiyi subconsciously avoided it, Lin Ruo didn't even grasp the corner of his sleeve, his outstretched hand froze in mid-air, but the movement was only stagnant for a moment, Lin Ruo took another step forward and grabbed his sleeve.

This time, Leng Shiyi didn't avoid it, allowing his right hand to be exposed.

"First, the second knuckle of your right index finger has a thick callus that is different from ordinary people, and it happens that I have seen such a hand, which should be a long-term martial arts practitioner and accustomed to using a sword. Second, if you are able to hide in a shadowy corner and remain motionless, it means that what you do on a daily basis is very hidden and dangerous, and you need to lie dormant for a long time. Thirdly, you have always been very wary of those who are close to you, and your eyes are cloudy and bloodthirsty, like a leopard waiting to be hunted, and the prey that falls into your eyes must be hit by you with one blow. Fourth, there is little silence, but every word and deed is carefully considered, and then the action is decisive and crisp, indicating that you have thought of a way back for yourself in order to get out of the way. Taken together, these clues seem to be only a killer. ”

Leng Shiyi was silent, his eyes carefully looked at the woman in front of him, he once again realized that the promise he made was not a stupid decision.

"As for saying that you are injured, you should have heard the words of the prince of the Jingping Marquis Mansion that day, I was born with a keen sense of smell. The smell of blood and medicine on your body is faint. It's just the two of us here, and the smell can only come from you. Although it can also be explained that you are a person who is good at using poison or medicine, it is only when you get up that your left arm is too stiff and when you walk on one side, so I make this inference. ”

Leng Shiyi's eyes narrowed, and there was a trace of appreciation for the woman in front of him in his narrow phoenix eyes: his eyes were fierce and his courage was outstanding.

Lin Ruo didn't care about Leng Shiyi's silence, and asked with a smile: "Then, now you can decide whether you want to be my bodyguard?" If you don't want to, it doesn't matter, I will have someone send a message to Ye Ling, and the agreement between you is not counted. ”

Leng Shiyi still had a cold face, pondered for a moment, and said, "One more question." ”

"Ask!"

"'Peace of mind', what do you mean??"

Lin Ruo was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "It turns out that you are entangled in this!" ”

The bright eyes glanced at the two people picked by Tao Fu: "I guess you can also guess that these two people are originally from King Rong's mansion, so for them, their real master is King Rong, and I am just an accessory that they protect under the orders of their master, whether they can buy it or not, whether they have two hearts or not, it depends on how loyal they are to their master." Betting my life on them is a big gamble, and if I win the bet, my life is saved; If you lose the bet, you will die, or you will be disabled, and no matter how dangerous you are, you will also leave a large shadow on your psychology. How could a profiteer like me do such a loss-making business? ”

Profiteer? Business?

Leng Shiyi felt his temples jump suddenly.

He always thought that the one who regarded human life as a business would only be a killer like him who licked blood at the knife every day, or a human tooth like Boss Cao, but he didn't expect the little woman in front of him to think the same way, and her idea was even bolder, she actually regarded her life and safety as a business!

Lin Ruoyi smiled lightly, and said to herself: "But you are different, a real killer, there are only two kinds of people in your eyes, one is the employer, and the other is the prey." ”

"I'm also entrusted. You, the employer, may not be my next prey. ”

Lin Ruo pouted and nodded: "What you said, yes, it's not right." ”

"Why?"

"Others are possible, but I, I'm sure to be a qualified employer."

Facing Lin Ruo's self-confidence, Leng Shiyi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"First, you were sent by Ye Ling, I believe him."

"You just believe that he doesn't have two hearts?"

"Don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people. No matter what others think, I am sure that as long as I live, Ye Ling will not be unfavorable to the Lin family, and it will not be unfavorable to me. ”

Leng Shiyi was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Ye did say that he is a young lady's person, but not a member of the Lin family. I only need to listen to your orders and ignore the Lin family. ”

Lin Ruo's face showed a hint of helplessness: "After so many years, he is still so stubborn. ”

"What about the other reasons?"

Leng Shiyi naturally wouldn't believe that Lin Ruo would decide whether he would stay or leave based on Ye Ling's letter alone.

"Second, I don't feel your killing intent towards me, at least so far, I have never been your target, and since you appear here, it means that you have tacitly agreed in your heart to fulfill your promise to Ye Ling; Third," Lin Ruo stretched out three fingers, "Other employers, all they pay you are money, and I can give you other things." ”

"Oh? What is it? ”

Lin Ruo raised his head, looked directly at Leng Shiyi's torch-like gaze, and with a sly smile, slowly spit out two words: "Protection." ”

Leng Shiyi couldn't help but take a closer look, his injury this time was not all due to the entrustment to protect Lin Ruo, but another thing that worried him, but he didn't expect that the two things were actually implicated in each other, so that he was targeted. The reason why I am waiting here is also to find a legitimate opportunity, to take the opportunity to get close to Lin Ruo, to complete someone's entrustment, and another knot that has been in my heart for many years. But now it seems that someone's trust seems to be a more challenging thing.

A rare hint of a fleeting evil smile appeared on his cold face: "Deal!" ”
