"Yes." A Ning said: "In fact, another reason why the shadow guards never left the shadow guard pavilion alive is that they have to go from young to old, and when their physical fitness declines, they don't talk about providing for the elderly, but they have to shed the last drop of blood for the master and commit suicide in front of the master." ”

"Why?" This time, Su Jinyao didn't understand.

As a dangerous industry like shadow guards, it is not easy to live to old age, but what is the reason for committing suicide when you are old?

A-Ning hooked the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to laugh. But she should have been tempered and trained too much, so her feelings can no longer affect her mood, let alone show it on her face easily.

Therefore, only half of the smile was unfolded, A-Ning raised his face again, and said calmly: "Because the shadow has become a part of the master, and the shadow knows everything the master has done." Such a shadow is born for the master and dies for the master, and there is no reason to depart from the master. ”

Su Jinyao understood, because the shadow guard and the master were inseparable, so she would know a lot of the master's secrets or habits.

Some normal masters are fine. If you meet someone who has a rebellious intention, or a quirk and pervert, then the shadow knows too much and can only be wiped out.

It seems that for Shadow Guard, either die under the enemy's knife or die under his own knife.

Although everyone wants to die, the death of the shadow guard is definitely not in the hands of himself or fate, but in the hands of the master.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao couldn't help but ask again: "Then if I need you to help me do something, will you do it?" We can try to be like Gu Xun and Gu Xuebin, a pair of masters and servants who cooperate tacitly. ”

A-Ning was stunned. Then he said: "Seventeen was the best shadow guard in the Shadow Guard Pavilion back then, and there was no one. But the last time he was brought back to the Shadow Guard Pavilion, he also suffered a heavy punishment. The Pavilion Master just wants to warn us to remember the duties of the shadow guard, and not to deviate in the slightest. ”

Su Jinyao knew that this topic was about to collapse, because Ah Ning and Mo didn't seem to be people who were too easy to sway.

Unexpectedly, after the two of them were silent for a moment, Ah Ning suddenly said again: "But as long as the master doesn't let me betray the Shadow Guard Pavilion and the pavilion master, I am willing to be loyal to the master and be willing to obey my words." ”

Does this mean that Aning is willing to accept change?

Su Jinyao smiled and didn't hold on to this question. Instead, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Okay, today's chat is very pleasant, let's try to get along next." After all, my life is tied to you. ”

If you want to win over A-Ning and let her use it for herself, you can't be too anxious.

Anyway, Su Jinyao didn't want to find out the secrets of the Shadow Guard Pavilion, she just wanted to have a reliable helper by her side.

A-Ning also stopped talking, and this time it seemed that she had fallen asleep not long ago.

Su Jinyao tried her best to slow down her breathing, and she fell asleep after a while.

Very early the next day, Su Jinyao heard the sound of the door opening.

At first, she thought that A-Ning was going out, but the footsteps sounded softly from the door, and then she came to the bedside, and Su Jinyao knew that it was Gu Xuebin who came.

Su Jinyao opened her worried eyes, and saw Gu Xuebin pursing her lips and staring at her condescendingly.

"What's wrong?" Su Jinyao's heart was strained, for fear that Gu Xuebin would really have something.

But Su Jinyao didn't have time to turn over and sit up to see what was wrong with Gu Xuebin and why he had a bitter and hateful expression. She had already been severely suppressed by Gu Xuebin's figure that pounced on her......

Visit Helian's house

Su Jinyao was startled, and tried hard to push Gu Xuebin's body away. Unexpectedly, this guy was determined to restrain Su Jinyao, and he really pressed her on the bed.

"What's the matter, it's early in the morning, don't make trouble." Su Jinyao wrinkled her brows, pretending to be angry. She was really afraid that Gu Xuebin would mess around, so how embarrassed she should be.

"Jin Yao, yesterday was the last time, and you used a silver needle to sneak attack me." Gu Xuebin's puffed up appearance was still a little serious and cold.

Su Jinyao blinked her eyes and said innocently, "I just want you to have a good rest." ”

"But I don't want you to be away from me, and I'm even more scared when I sleep unconscious." Gu Xuebin held Su Jinyao tightly in his arms, buried his head in her neck, and his voice became lower and lower.

He was directly stabbed in the acupuncture point and fell asleep, so when he woke up, he was stunned and fragmented for a moment, and he couldn't remember what happened to him at all.

Then, Gu Xuebin found that there was nothing around him, and Su Jinyao was not there.

That feeling, that kind of loss and fear from the bottom of my heart, made Gu Xuebin really not want to experience it again.

When he was ignorant and hadn't fully woken up, he even thought that he had a sweet dream, and after waking up from the dream, there was no big wedding or Jinyao at all.

It wasn't until Gu Xuebin shook his head and saw Gu Xun and Mo who were still sitting under the bed and on his feet when he was fully awake that he remembered that he was stunned by Su Jinyao with a silver needle last night.

Su Jinyao didn't expect Gu Xuebin's reaction to be so big, she was stunned for a while, then hooked Gu Xuebin's neck with one hand, and gently touched his hair that he didn't have time to comb with the other, looked at the sky and said, "It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't have attacked you like that." While it's still early, let's sleep a little longer. ”

"Hmm." Gu Xuebin still buried his face in Su Jinyao's neck, not wanting to leave for a moment.

Smelling her like this, Gu Xuebin felt so happy and relieved.

Su Jinyao pushed Gu Xuebin again, moved in, and said, "Okay, I'm sorry, you come up and lie down for a while." However, it is necessary to be in order. ”

"I know." Gu Xuebin finally moved to the bed, wrapped Su Jinyao in his arms, and said, "Actually, you didn't use a silver needle to prick me last night, and I won't do anything." I know that there are two more shadow guards, and I know that the shadow guards need to run in with their masters a little more. I don't want the two of us, especially if you're seen and listened to. ”

"Silly girl." After Gu Xuebin finally finished saying this, he let out a long sigh of relief and closed his eyes.

They lay down for more than a quarter of an hour, and when it was getting brighter, the two of them got up.

After Gu Xuebin washed up, he went directly to the court, he wanted to arrange all the affairs in the court today, and he would be able to go on the road with Su Jinyao tomorrow.

Su Jinyao took the things she had selected yesterday and asked the housekeeper to prepare a carriage to go to Helian's house.

Helian's family is at the other end of the capital, and the imperial city is one east and one west.

I heard that that place was an ordinary dwelling back then, but it was later bought by Helian Ruo, and there is the current Helian family.

When Su Jinyao came to Helian's house in a carriage, she couldn't help but be taken aback. This is a different corner of the capital, prosperous and lively, with crowds coming and going freely and bustlingly.

It seems that this is a different world, this is the core of the capital, and it is also the largest business district in the entire Cloud Dome Country.

Su Jinyao also didn't understand, why did Helian family desperately build shops and do business? Okay, isn't it good to be the richest businessman in the capital quietly?

But now, at first glance, it seems like showing off your wealth. It's as if the Helian family is showing off their strength.

But Su Jinyao felt that this was definitely not Helian Ruo's original intention, and she must have another purpose to do this.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Helian's house, and a man who looked like a butler greeted him. After looking at it, the carriage of the Prince's Mansion is still very eye-catching.

Mingjuan stepped forward, handed over a greeting note with both hands, and said, "It's the crown princess in the carriage, and I came this time to meet the former Helian master." ”

"Okay, please go to the seat first, and the villain will go and tell my master." The housekeeper immediately called someone to lead the carriage, and then stood in front of the carriage respectfully waiting for Su Jinyao to get out of the carriage before leading the way inside.

It wasn't until Su Jinyao was arranged to sit down that the housekeeper bowed down and said goodbye and left with the post.

This is completely the treatment of guests, which shows that Su Jinyao's identity is really extraordinary now.

Soon, a few more maids sent the handicap. However, the maids knew the rules very well, and they didn't come forward directly, but almost handed them over to Mingjuan, who personally delivered the refreshments.

Su Jinyao didn't like pastries, so she picked up the teacup. took a sip, it was the best **tea, and the faint ** breath was refreshing.

After two sips, the housekeeper came back and said, "Back to the crown princess, my master commanded, let you be treated well." She then arrived. ”

"Okay, you go get busy." Su Jinyao nodded, not paying much attention.

Originally, Helian's family was also a prominent dignitary, so he didn't come to send the worship post in advance, but he was a little impatient to come to the door directly with the worship post. Maybe the owner is busy, and it's normal to wait a little longer.

But Su Jinyao didn't expect that she would wait for almost half an hour.

The tea in Su Jinyao's hand was added twice, and even Mingjuan couldn't stand still, so she leaned into Su Jinyao's ear and whispered: "Master, we can't wait any longer, this Helian family...... There doesn't seem to be a sense of hospitality. ”

Su Jinyao also frowned, she didn't expect this to be the result.

However, after all, she and Helian Ruo have only officially met once, although Helian family has always given Su Jinyao the green light later, but apart from the initial agreement, there is really no deep friendship.

If Helian Ruo picked up the pie at this time, it was possible to say that he would not see her.

What's more, Helian's family is already a rich country, Helian Tianqi is still the eldest grandson of the emperor, if you want to say that Helian's family also wants status and silver, it may not really take her as the crown princess seriously.

Su Jinyao is not a person who likes to put on a show, and for people who are really powerful and stronger than her, Su Jinyao can't lose her temper.

She especially understands the truth that the winner is king, and the strong master everything, so after Mingjuan finished speaking, Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then let's go first." ”

Su Jinyao stood up and was about to take Mingjuan and the others away, when she heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside. Looking at it again, it turned out to be Helian Tianqi back.

As soon as he saw Helian Tianqi, Su Jinyao was stunned, he hadn't seen him for a few days, why did he lose weight again? And it's a little darker, and the eyes look very dull.

Is Helian Ruo sick?

It wasn't until Helian Tianqi entered the door that Su Jinyao saw that he was not dark, but very haggard, with stubble coming out of his beard and big dark circles under his eyes.

Helian Tianqi smiled when he saw Su Jinyao, smiling as cute as ever, and said, "Jinyao, wait a minute." I heard the steward send someone to tell me, so I put down what I was doing and hurried back. ”

"Did the butler tell you?" Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at the housekeeper who had retreated to the door.

It turned out that she had waited for so long a day, but it turned out that the housekeeper went directly to Helian Tianqi? Could it be that Su Jinyao didn't make it clear? She wanted to see the previous Helian in charge.

But even if it wasn't explained clearly, it was clearly written on the worship post, and he wanted to meet Helian Ruo.

Helian Tianqi saw Su Jinyao looking at the housekeeper, and hurriedly explained: "It's not Uncle Bing's business, it's my mother who really can't pull away, and Uncle Bing is afraid that he will snub you, so he ordered someone to find me back." ”

Although what Helian Tianqi said was reasonable, Su Jinyao felt that something was wrong.

If Helian Ruo was really busy, then why didn't the housekeeper say it when he first came? And after such a long time, he didn't tell Su Jinyao truthfully, is this delaying time?

The housekeeper of the Helian family is not an idle person, and when he saw Su Jinyao's brows furrowed, he knew that this matter was about to cause a misunderstanding.

The housekeeper hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed his head respectfully to Su Jinyao, and said, "The crown princess, please forgive me, the villain did hand over the post as soon as possible, and my master also explained that he would come over in a while." But it happened suddenly, and the master did have something temporary, so he ...... Therefore, the villain didn't dare to let the princess go back without permission, so he invited the young master of the family to come back. ”

Su Jinyao didn't have a reason not to be unforgiving, not to mention that looking at Helian Tianqi's appearance now, he knew that he was indeed in a hurry to come back.

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "It's okay, I originally came suddenly, and I should have sent the post as soon as possible." ”

Helian Tianqi said: "Jin Yao, our family actually doesn't have so many rules and exquisiteness. You are a guest, sit down for a while, and I'll ask the cook to cook you some sweet soup to drink. ”

Since Helian Tianqi was enthusiastic and rushed back on purpose, Su Jinyao was not in a hurry to leave now, so she simply planned to sit down and chat a few words.

What's more, Su Jinyao wanted to know what Helian Tianqi was busy with, and why he was so haggard after only a few days.

It's just that I didn't expect that Su Jinyao had just sat down again, and there were footsteps outside again.

Listening to the pace, the person who came was very anxious, and the steps were particularly large, but the sound of this person's footsteps landing was indeed steady and light, which showed that the light work was extraordinary.

Su Jinyao was thinking, who would it be? Then I saw that a purple-robed man had already broken into the door, and he rushed straight towards Su Jinyao.

"Daddy? How do you ......"

Helian Tianqi just shouted, and the man had already stood in front of Su Jinyao, and said directly, "You are a disciple of the divine doctor?" Follow me. ”

Su Jinyao stood up, but did not immediately follow him.

Although he already knew that this was Helian Tianqi's father, the favorite wife who didn't want the throne and only wanted a beauty, he didn't understand what he meant by his sudden appearance.

Seeing that Su Jinyao did not move, Canglan Shuo grinded his teeth and said, "If Ruo'er is sick, let me invite you to come over and have a look." ”

Ruo'er? Su Jinyao reacted suddenly, it should be Helian Ruo.

At this moment, even Helian Tianqi was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's wrong with my mother?" Isn't it okay in the morning? ”

"Yes, it was fine in the morning, but I suddenly felt dizzy just now, and I still vomited when I rested in bed." After speaking, Cang Lanshuo turned to Su Jinyao again, and said imposingly: "Little girl, come quickly, what conditions do you want, just say it." ”

Su Jinyao didn't answer Cangshuo's words, but said, "Please lead the way." ”

Cang Lanshuo immediately turned around and strode out, Su Jinyao followed out, and Helian Tianqi hurriedly followed.

Helian's house is really very large, and there are two doors from the front hall to the back yard, and then the back garden and a few side rooms.

Cang Lanshuo pointed directly to the middle wing room and motioned for Su Jinyao to go over. But he blocked Helian Tianqi behind him and said, "Your mother said, only let this little girl go in alone." You and I will be waiting outside. ”

Helian Tianqi still looked worried, looking inside. But apparently he was also very obedient, and he actually stood where he was.

Su Jinyao said to the father and son: "Don't worry, with me, it should be fine." As soon as the results are found, I will call someone to talk about it. ”

Cang Lanshuo nodded and didn't say anything more. But his eyes followed Su Jinyao all the way to the door, and he also saw the door.

Helian Tianqi said before Su Jinyao entered the house: "Jinyao, thank you." My mother will leave it to you. ”

When Su Jinyao stepped into the threshold, she nodded her head head, and then entered the house and closed the door. also closed the worried eyes of the father and son.

The room is very spacious, warm and comfortable, and it is not so vulgar because of the illustrious and wealthy family background of the Helian family.

Su Jinyao even saw a little bit of modern pastoral style from the simple furniture furnishings, as if the one placed against the wall was an improved sofa.

Looking at it this way, Helian Ruo seems to be more nostalgic for the modern times. Or, this is her unique style, but it also makes Su Jinyao have a little time reversal, just like the feeling of her previous life.

"Jinyao?" Helian Ruo's voice came from the inner room, and he could hear it weakly.

"It's me." Su Jinyao agreed and walked towards the inner room. There was no maid waiting here, so Su Jinyao also directly picked up the bead curtain and entered the house.

The inner room is more spacious than the outer room, the windows are hidden, but the bed screen is very transparent. The bed curtain hung low, and Helian Ruo could be seen reclining at the head of the bed, his face was very bad.

Su Jinyao took a step forward, but raised her nose and sniffed. There was a faint smell of sandalwood in the room, but there seemed to be a strange smell mixed with it.

Helian Ruo saw Su Jinyao standing in place and sniffing lightly, and couldn't help but blushed quietly.
