Today, Mingxin has a travel plan, and the destination of the trip is the care center located in the western district of Wangcheng.

The Childcare Center was a social welfare institution established by the Empire to provide services mainly for orphans and disabled children, similar to the children's welfare institutions on Earth.

Mingxin spends one day a month volunteering at a childcare center in Wangdu, which has been going on for decades.

The work of Mingxin volunteers is relatively easy, such as playing with children or reading storybooks to children.

Other laundry, cooking, and cleaning don't need her, and of course the care center doesn't dare to use her.

Although the work content is simple, it is very remarkable that I can persist for such a long time as Mingxin.

But to be honest, Ark didn't approve of Mingxin's behavior, although she had good intentions.

But from a practical point of view, it's not a good deal. She came to play with the child alone, but in order to protect her, hundreds of people were dispatched, and the manpower and material resources consumed were very cost-effective compared to what she did.

But Fang Zhou will not object, who let Mingxin be his boss now, she can do whatever she wants.

......

......

This trip didn't make much of a battle, Mingxin only brought a hundred guards and all the personal guards, plus Starlight and Liuyun, a total of one hundred and twenty-three.

They are now advancing in a double circle formation, with the convoy forming the outer circle, and they are mainly responsible for pathfinding, situation observation, etc.

The Guards and the Meteor Cloud make up the inner circle, and although the number of people in the inner circle is smaller, it is directly responsible for protecting Mingxin.

And Mingxin is naturally the center of these two circles.

Mingxin doesn't seem to be very used to so many people protecting her.

......

......

But fortunately, they soon arrived at the care center.

Mingxin greeted the children in the care center very kindly and brought them a lot of gifts.

It can be seen from the children's expressions that they all like Mingxin.

Whoever asked Mingxin to come every time, their food would get better, and there would be gifts to receive.

......

......

While Mingxin was playing with the children, everyone in the pro-guard team changed into civilian clothes and guarded all around.

Of course, they have to play with the children, and standing like a log can be frightening for the children.

Fang Zhou was really not good at playing with this group of bear children, and after a while he actually made the two children cry, but he didn't mean to.

But Mingxin didn't think so, and she let the ark go and stand aside. Naturally, the ark was happy to go.

And Liuyun actually came over to chat with Fang Zhou at this time: "Fang Zhou, what do you think of our Highness?" ”

"Very kind and kind." Fang Zhou's words are not sycophants, but he really thinks so.

Liuyun nodded: "Yes, kindness and kindness are the merits of our Highness." ”

But he paused for a moment and continued: "But this is His Highness's biggest shortcoming. ”

The Ark became interested: "Oh, why is kindness a shortcoming?" ”

"If Your Highness is just an ordinary young lady, this kindness is nothing. But His Royal Highness was born into the family of the emperor. This kindness may well have hurt her. ”

"Hey, is it appropriate for you to tell me this??"

"Ark, I don't think you're going to be a tongue-chewer."

"Well, thanks to your trust. But what exactly is the purpose of your talk to me today? ”

Liuyun looked solemn in the face of Fang Zhou and said, "Fang, Zhou, I ask you to protect Your Highness." ”

"Aren't I protecting Your Highness?"

"I want to leave the responsibility of protecting Your Highness to you."

The Ark had a strange "Give it to me?" What about you. Do you want to leave? ”

"No, I'm not leaving. Since His Highness was born, I have been by His Highness's side, and my life is destined to revolve around His Highness. ”

Fang Zhou asked again: "Then what terminal illness do you have?" I'm going to die. ”

"No, our Shuanghui Star has an excellent environment, and we will hardly suffer from any terminal diseases."

"Then you are neither going to die nor leaving. Then why did you entrust me with the responsibility of protecting Your Highness? ”

"Your Highness can live to be five hundred years old, and I'm just an ordinary person, I can't stay with Your Highness for so long."

"I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't stay with her for that long. And why do you think that way about me? ”

Liuyun said: "I don't know, and I don't have any basis. Maybe that's intuition, a man's intuition. In short, Ark, can I ask you to take on the responsibility of protecting Your Highness? ”

"I'll protect her, but only while I'm there, and I'm going to leave after a while."

Liuyun was taken aback: "Why do you want to leave?" Are you dissatisfied with your benefits? We can talk about this. ”

"I'm not satisfied, it's all right here, it's just not my home."

As he spoke, the ark looked up through the window and looked at the sky, looking at the universe.

"Hey~"

Seeing this, Liuyun also understood that no matter how many things they used, they couldn't stop the ark from going home.

There is always something more important in the world than money and power.

......

......

After playing with the children for nearly eight hours, Mingxin said goodbye to them and prepared to return to the Imperial Daughter's Mansion.

As the group passed by a park, Mingxin got out of the car as usual, and she loved to hike through this beautiful park.

The group walked among them, the flowing clouds looked around at the surrounding green trees, and the usual insects and birds seemed to have stopped.

"Strange, why is it so quiet here today? No, there must be demons when things go wrong. ”

Liuyun said in a loud voice: "Everyone, first-level alert, Starlight, you contact the neighbors, let them come immediately." ”

"Understood."

When Starlight was in contact, Liuyun moved closer to Mingxin.

Ark sensed something was wrong, too, and his eyes scanned his surroundings, looking for anything out of the ordinary.

He saw a faint light flashing from a large tree to the northeast.

He immediately understood that it was the reflection of the sniper scope, and he immediately shouted: "It's not good, there is a sniper, protect Your Highness!" ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, he listened to "Bang! There was a bang

A bright orange point of light lit up from that direction, the kind of light that the Ark was familiar with, it was the flame of a bullet when it was discharged.

At this time, Liuyun had already run in front of Mingxin, and when he heard Fang Zhou's words, he jumped up without hesitation and blocked Mingxin.

And the next moment, he felt an instinct in his chest, and a silver bullet pierced through his combat uniform and penetrated through his chest. Then it came out from behind his chest.

And Mingxin, who was behind him, watched all this, and at this time, the world in Mingxin's eyes was slowed down.

She saw a red flower bloom on the back of Liuyun's chest, and in the midst of the red flower, a mottled silver bullet continued to magnify in her eyes.
