On the teaching field, Wen Ying looked a little surprised to look different from the shadow guards on the previous teaching field, most of them were between fourteen and seventeen years old, some of them had ordinary faces, and a few of them were similar to Yu Wenjing. Everyone hung a sign on their chests, marked with numbers, and looked at Yu Wenjing's eyes a little hot.

Wen Ying stood beside Yu Wenhao and asked, "Dad, have they also trained together since childhood?" ”

Yu Wenhao nodded, "Yes, there is also a tacit understanding between the shadow protectors." ”

Somehow, Wen Ying thought of the Eagle Tower, thought of the eighty children that Xuan Ling said, and couldn't help asking, "If they didn't become shadow protectors, would they also die?" ”

"No, it won't." Yu Wenhao returned.

These children were picked out from the slums after Yu Wenjing was born.

Being chosen by the royal family is a blessing that they will not get in their lifetime.

After they are elected, they will be instilled with the idea that the crown prince is their savior, and if they want to survive and not compete with others for food, they must seriously practice martial arts and serve the royal family. Even if they can't become shadow protectors, they will be assigned to various military camps to experience.

Hearing this, Wen Ying relieved her heart slightly.

There are not many people in the church today.

Including Nian Qingyan, Nian Zhi and Chang'an, they did not come, only Yu Wenhao, Yu Wenjing and Wen Ying came.

Wen Ying was a little strange, and after a while, a middle-aged man handed over a booklet and said, "Your Majesty, the prince, there are a total of seventy-eight pre-selected shadow protectors, sixteen are injured, and six have not yet been found, and their names have been crossed out from the booklet." ”

Yu Wenjing looked at it and gave it to Wen Ying, "Wen Ya, you can pick it." ”

Wen Ying subconsciously refused, "Brother Huang, that's your shadow protector, you can pick it." ”

Yu Wenjing glanced at the seventy-eight pre-selected shadow protectors and said in a low voice, "This is the first thing you do to marry me." ”

Wen Ying let out a blank "ah".

She was only afraid that she would not be able to do such a thing, but seeing that her father had already sat down on the chair, and the imperial brother had also stepped aside, Wen Ying had to hold the booklet and read it carefully, not noticing that the expression of the seventy-eight pre-selection shadow protector had changed subtly after listening.

The meaning of this is very clear, in the future, not only the prince will be loyal to the prince, but also to the county lord.

Wen Ying looked at the booklet, and the booklet was written very clearly.

The details of each number are marked with A, B, C, D, the other party's martial arts, decisions, actions, etc., and there are some things that the other party has committed.

Wen Ying felt that she had read an autobiography of many people, and it was a bit of a headache to read.

After a while, the guards moved the chairs, and Yu Wenjing dragged Wen Ying to the chair to watch.

Seventy-eight pre-selected shadow protectors did not dare to move.

After a while, he looked up and asked Yu Wenjing for help, "Brother Huang, do you want to take a look at them one by one?" ”

"You call the number, and they will come out."

Wen Ying heard this and shouted, "Number three." ”

The force A, decision B, and action A written above, on the whole, Wen Ying felt that the martial arts of the imperial brother should be high.

One after another, I called a few more that were not bad.

Looking back, Wen Ying didn't shout out in one breath, and gave the booklet to Yu Wenjing with her backhand, "Brother Huang, you come." ”

Yu Wenjing smiled, "There are still a few Junjia, why didn't you choose." ”

Wen Ying thought for a while and said, "Brother Huang, the shadow protector only needs one leader, if they are all so powerful, then who will be the leader?" ”

Hearing this, Yu Wenjing was stunned.

Wen Ying has always only needed to listen to her mother, her father, and her brother, she thinks that she is not smart anyway, and her father and brother are very powerful, so she naturally listens to her father and brother.

Yu Wenjing nodded, "What Wen Ya said makes sense. ”

Pick and choose, pick one out of several Junjia, and let them fight face to face, all of them are comparable, and finally Yu Wenjing chose a body shape that is not much different from himself, and Yu Wenhao never spoke.

"Twenty-seventh." Yu Wenjing said.

Twenty-seventh, eighteen, and the oldest among them, his facial features are delicate, but his eyebrows and eyes faintly reveal an ambition.

So it's natural to have an advantage.

"The twenty-seventh is here." After the 27th came out, he knelt down on one knee to Yu Wenjing, ready to be loyal.

Wen Ying remembered that she actually saw this No. 27 just now, but some of it was in training, he had fought with people, and she didn't pick it.

The rest, after Yu Wenjing had picked one, was about to confirm the candidate, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming, and an embarrassed young man rushed over covered in blood, shouting, "Restore the commander!" It's me, I'm Sanqi! ”

The Restoration Commander walked over and said in a cold voice, "Sanqi, you're already late, and you're staring at it. ”

Sanqi hurriedly said, "Commander, someone is dead!" ”

The face of the re-commander changed, "Who killed it?" ”

Sanqi hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Erqi." ”

There is a rule in the shadow protection, that is, even if it is competition, you must not kill anyone.

Even if you kill someone, everyone you kill must obey the master's actions and must not act without permission. And now they are just competing, let alone killing each other, even if they want to fight, they can only delay each other, and absolutely cannot kill each other.

In fact, this can be regarded as an assessment, because people who often delay the other party will also be stumped, and the test is to assist in win-win cooperation.

Now that someone reports a killing, the situation is different.

"Wait."

The reinstate commander turned around and went to tell Yu Wenhao and Yu Wenjing about it.

The people led by Erqi knelt in front of Yu Wenjing, and when they saw the Fu Commander coming, they had a faint bad premonition in their hearts.

Sure enough, after hearing what the Commander of Fu said in the ear of King Wen'an, he turned his head and asked, "Some of you have killed someone, but some of you have come out to confess?" ”

Erqi tightened his brows.

After a second question, the Commander stood up and said, "I'm not sure if it's me." ”

That's a strange answer.

Wen Ying frowned and turned her head to look at Yu Wenjing, but Yu Wenjing had already gotten up and said to her, "Let's go." ”

Wen Ying blinked, "Don't choose it?" ”

Yu Wenjing said, "Don't choose for the time being, and when the re-commander finds out the truth, he will send someone to inform." ”

Isn't it in vain today?

Wen Ying said directly, "Brother Huang, why did he kill someone?" ”

Yu Wenjing pursed his lips, "I don't know." ”

"Don't you want Erqi?" Wen Ying asked.

"Hmm." Yu Wenjing nodded.

"Why?" Wen Ying was curious.

"He wasn't sure if he had killed someone, it meant that he had made a move, he did it, but he didn't confirm whether the other party was just injured or dead, and he went to the teaching field in a hurry, such a person can't be a shadow protector." Yu Wenjing's voice was not small.

Erqi Kung Fu is not weak, Yu Wenjing's voice was naturally heard, and a trace of annoyance appeared on his face after hearing it.

At that time, it had been delayed for a long time, but I didn't expect that at this time there would be someone to shoot at him, stopping him from delaying time, in a hurry, he beat the other party into the slope, but the slope was not high, the other party also had kung fu, he didn't think that the other party would have an accident, so he hurriedly stepped on the point to the teaching field, after the commander said the first sound, he still felt that it was not himself, but no one came out to admit it, he felt that it was not himself, so he stood up.

To be able to become a pre-selected shadow protector is actually a selection of hearts, and deliberate killing almost will not exist, but it does not prevent accidents from happening.

Wen Ying on the carriage furrowed her brows, and said after a while, "Then the rest, the imperial brother doesn't want it either?" ”

Yu Wenjing snorted, "Don't want it either." ”

"Why?" Wen Ying was puzzled again.

Yu Wenjing raised his head from the booklet and looked at Wen Ying, "Because I chose a few, all of them were led by Erqi." ”

A hundred shadow protectors are not easy to manage, so there will also be a small team leader among them, Erqi is one of them, Yu Wenjing heard Wen Ying's reminder, and suddenly realized that in addition to personal ability, there is also team cooperation, so he picked a few good ones from Sanqi.

When Wen Ying heard this, she was surprised, "Brother Huang, you still look at nepotism!" ”

“？” Yu Wenjing raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

Wen Ying pursed her lips and smiled at Yu Wenjing, "It was Chang'an who said it, and among the courtiers and officials that Chang'an said, in fact, many small officials relied on nepotism to sit in the position of local officials, that is, whoever has a good relationship can go." ”

Yu Wenjing was stunned.

Indeed, among the hundreds of officials who can go to court in Linzi, all of them are self-examined.

However, if it is a local official who is farther away, most of them are nepotism, because talent is withering and exchanges go quickly, so this kind of small post in the border area is generally recommended by officials if there is no major mistake, and the official must first recommend his own good relationship.

In fact, Yu Wenjing doesn't like this kind of atmosphere very much, but he didn't expect that when he was choosing a shadow guard, he would subconsciously choose like this, and even if he frowned, he crossed out a few more people in the book.

With and tacit understanding, you can wait for the selection before running in and cultivating, and it is not good to hold a group at the beginning.

When he looked up again, he naturally reached out and pinched Wen Ying's snow-white cheeks, "You reminded me." ”

Nepotism is a must.

Of course, Wen Ying didn't understand what she reminded, but the royal brother pinched it very naturally, and felt as if although he said that he wanted to marry the imperial brother, but the imperial brother seemed to treat her the same way before, this feeling made Wen Ying feel very happy, it would be good if she got along like this all the time.

A few days later, Yu Wenhao's guards came to the news that several strongholds of the Eagle Tower had been terminated, but some cunning people were still fleeing in all directions.

The major forces in the rivers and lakes sensed the pressure of the imperial court, and naturally they did not dare to be selfish anymore, and naturally they did not dare to hide the remnants of the Eagle Tower.

Yu Wenhao nodded after hearing the news and asked, "What about Xuan Ling?" ”

The guard replied, "The prince has already ordered, when the time comes, Xuan Ling will naturally bring the antidote, and now Xuan Ling has gone to Linzi." He asked for two months to take care of his personal affairs. ”

Yu Wenhao nodded, "Send someone to keep an eye on him." ”

Mid-October is the birthday of Nian Yun.

Now he is forty years old, although he has always tried his best to take care of it, his body is still petite and curvy, and his complexion is snow-white, but he still can't resist the erosion of the years, although the fine lines at the corners of his eyes are not obvious, but he can see it when he looks carefully at the bronze mirror.

Two days ago, Wen Ying happened to see her mother sighing a lot at the bronze mirror alone, so she silently wrote it down in her heart.

On the day of the appointment with Yu Wenhao, Wen Ying naturally had to follow Yu Wenhao out, and when Wen Ling sent Wen Ying away, he waved his hand and said, "Sister!" You can come back later tonight! ”

Wen Ying: "??? ”

Turning his head, he looked at Yu Wenhao, who was walking in front, pinched his handkerchief and followed closely.

Yu Wenhao glanced at it, hung his head, revealing a small half of his white jade neck, looking very well-behaved, like a little daughter-in-law.

But he didn't realize it at all, so he stopped and raised his hand towards Wen Ying.

Wen Ying paused, looked at the hand in front of her, and felt a little strange in her heart.

In the past, when the royal brother wanted to hold her, he always held her hand directly, but now it seems that he is waiting for her to take the initiative to hold him, and this feeling is different.

After a while, Wen Ying raised her hand to hold Yu Wenjing's hand.

Yu Wenjing didn't speak, and took Wen Ying to wander around aimlessly.

said to buy sugar buns, thinking that Xuan Ling called her sugar buns, she was a little embarrassed.

Let's go to the theater, thinking that she fell asleep in the theater last time, I was a little embarrassed.

Let's go to the night market, thinking that Kong Yu took her to visit the night market, I responded again.

This kind of wandering without talking, Wen Ying felt uncomfortable.

couldn't help but take the initiative to ask, "Brother Huang, have you picked your shadow protector?" ”
