Chapter 149: Desire
"But...... You're not there, they ......"
The young man couldn't understand why Zhao Jingxuan planned to let them hide first, to know that the most important thing to do now was not to come forward to stabilize the situation?
You must know the complexity of the organization of the Dark Guards, they lurk in the shadows, they are in the darkness and do not see the light, dealing with the darkest and most unsightly things in the court.
It is also because of this that the people in the secret guard have different thoughts, one is loyal to the emperor, and has died for the emperor, of course, there are also some who like to fight for power and profit, hoping to get the appreciation from above, break away from the secret guard, and abandon the dark and turn to the light.
However, there are still some people who don't have their own opinions at all, just go with the flow, because of their background, they are just used as swords and have no own pursuits.
It can be said that the Dark Guard is a group of well-trained killers lurking in the shadows, the sharpest knife of the emperor, but also the most complex existence.
"You want me to step in and stabilize the situation?"
Zhao Jingxuan listened to the young man's words, chuckled, and he looked back, his eyes were cold. "Ah Qi, why do you think that?"
"Because, because now they're like a plate of loose sand......"
The young Ah Qi opened his mouth under Zhao Jingxuan's gaze, he really didn't know why Zhao Jingxuan was in a hurry to come forward now, did he have to wait for the situation to get out of control before coming out?
"There's no hurry."
Zhao Jingxuan said lightly, he is indeed not in a hurry now.
He became the leader of the Dark Guard for the simple reason that it was all because of his master.
However, in the time after becoming the leader, he just accepted the task above and did not think about anything. Because the master once told him that he only needed to be the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand and get rid of all hidden dangers for the other party.
But he found that he was too simple, and it was meaningless to blindly become a tool for others like this, and he might even become a victim without knowing it.
When he was in danger, no one sympathized with his plight, and no one cared about his life or death.
If he couldn't hold the secret guard organization tightly in his hands, he didn't know how many more times this kind of assassination betrayal.
"If they make trouble, let them go, and now the higher you jump, the more painful it will be when you fall."
"This ......"
Ah Qi understood Zhao Jingxuan's words, he was planning to exclude dissidents.
Thinking of this, the young man's face couldn't help but turn pale, not knowing whether such a development was good or bad. In fact, since Zhao Jingxuan took over the position of leader, there have indeed been many opposing voices in the organization.
But their reasons were simple, most of them were out of jealousy of him, after all, Zhao Jingxuan's age was too young to be the leader of this organization in their opinion.
The people who want to lead them should be more mature and more experienced in life.
However, Zhao Jingxuan at the beginning successfully shut them up with only one sentence.
They are just loyal dogs of His Majesty, sharp knives to cut through everything His Majesty does not need to exist. Such an existence does not need the so-called age and experience, but only needs to be loyal enough, ruthless enough, and superior wisdom.
Thinking of this, Ah Qi wondered if Zhao Jingxuan had deviated from his original self now, had he also begun to covet power and wanted to cultivate his own strength?
Zhao Jingxuan saw the young man's thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but sneer when he saw this.
"There is no such thing as an absolutely loyal dog, it doesn't deserve to live, it's as simple as that. They can betray their colleagues today and be disloyal to me, then they can be disloyal to Your Majesty for their own interests one day, and the reason is the same. ”
Zhao Jingxuan said lightly, these few short explanations were already his limit, and he would not say anything more to these subordinates at this point.
Ah Qi didn't dare to make a sound, in his opinion, he was just an orphan, and if he hadn't organized him, he would have frozen to death on the street, and this life would have been gone a long time ago.
It is also because of this that he is absolutely loyal to the organization.
"Okay, let's put these things aside for the time being, and wait and see."
Zhao Jingxuan waved his hand at him, obviously impatient to continue discussing this topic, he has too few clues now, if he can't kill with one hit, when the time comes, it will attract the attention of King Cheng, and many things will be difficult to do.
At this time, you should do nothing, and the other party finds that the wind and waves are calm, and they relax their vigilance, but it is easy to show their feet.
"By the way, what's going on in my house?"
Zhao Jingxuan suddenly changed the topic and asked lightly.
Ah Qi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Zhao Jingxuan to mention his home. He was stunned for a moment, but replied quickly.
"Everything is fine in the adult's family, Mr. Zhao has a new aunt and wife during this time, but the aunt was killed by Mrs. after she became pregnant, fortunately, the doctor diagnosed and treated it in time, and the child was saved, but the master and Mrs. were in trouble because of this."
"They're the same."
Zhao Jingxuan listened to the trivial matters at home, and a touch of amazement flashed in his eyes, this is his family.
Since the death of her mother, her father continued to play the strings, and soon the new lady began to establish her prestige in the house, cultivate power, and suppress the children of her predecessors.
Zhao Jingxuan also grew up in that environment.
In order to leave that disgusting, untender family, he poisoned himself and had to go to the countryside to recuperate under the pretext that he was so weak that he had to go to the countryside to recuperate.
It was also because of what he did at that time, but the doctor who was seen for treatment, that is, his later master, took a fancy to him.
The reason why the master likes him is very simple, people who are ruthless enough to themselves can be more ruthless to others.
When Zhao Jingxuan thinks of this reason now, he only feels funny.
In fact, he was not a cold-blooded and ruthless person as his master expected, but he was more susceptible to emotional influences.
Just like now, he was angry at the betrayal of others, and felt nostalgic for the warm and beautiful life that Jiang Liang had given him.
On the one hand, there are indeed other factors, but Zhao Jingxuan knows very well what he thinks in his heart.
That way, he doesn't need to leave here now.
I can get along with her a little longer, a little longer......
"Alright, let's go."
Ah Qi naturally didn't dare to hesitate when he heard Zhao Jingxuan's words, nodded, and quickly disappeared into the darkness with a group of people.
Zhao Jingxuan didn't move for a long time, just stood quietly in the woods.
Time had passed so long that it seemed as if he was about to become a statue.
The surroundings were quiet, except for the chirping of insects and birds, and the occasional faint sound of birds flapping their wings, and there seemed to be no other living creatures.
It wasn't until the lights in the village were lit up one after another that Zhao Jingxuan seemed to move.
He turned around and walked towards the courtyard without looking back, knowing in his heart that what he longed for most was a touch of warm light in the mortal world.
