"Young master. Were you okay last night? ”
After washing up, he walked out of the room, and a figure appeared in front of him.
Su Lingxuan was slightly moved, and hurriedly replied gently.
"Uncle Hai, thank you for your hard work."
This is a large man with a sturdy body, the sleeve of his left arm of his clothes is empty, and his right hand is carried behind his back, and he can take off the silver-white spear behind his back at any time.
His face was a little haggard, and his hair and clothes showed signs of the cold and wetting of the night, but even so, he simply stood there, and there was a sharp aura that was impossible to look at.
This one is Liao Hai, the head of the guard of Su Mansion, the only one alive among the guards left by Su Lingxuan's father to protect his family in the capital, and he is also the confidant and confidant that Su Lingxuan has always called "Uncle Hai", no, it should be said that it is a relative.
Su Lingxuan called him "Uncle Hai", but in fact, this one is not very old, only in his early thirties, but because he is old, taciturn, and likes to be quiet and alone, he feels like an old man who is over half a hundred years old.
If there is anything that Su Lingxuan can trust unconditionally in the entire capital, it is only the group of guards left by his father before his death. The reason why he has been able to grow up safely over the years is all because of the lives and blood of this group of loyal people, therefore, Su Lingxuan, who knows the grace of the newspaper, has great respect for these people, even if he is older than one of them according to the algorithm of soul age, he is still willing to call them "uncle", even if they often oppose it and dare not agree.
It's a pity that there is only one Uncle Hai left in this group of people who he trusts with peace of mind.
In the eyes of those who don't know, he, the future Duke of Wu'an, is the future super-grade Duke of the State and the top nobleman of the Qian Dynasty, but in the eyes of those in the know, he, the Duke of a small country, is completely a joke.
If it weren't for the fact that the first emperor was still in favor of his father, and sent someone to fund the entry into Su Mansion, he openly and secretly showed his attitude of protecting Su Lingxuan, which made those people quite taboo, Su Lingxuan and Uncle Hai would have died a long time ago, and it would have been extremely miserable.
Besides, this Uncle Hai, he is extremely talented in martial arts, he was only twelve years old when he followed Su Qi to run around, at that time he was already a five-grade martial artist under Su Qi's intentional cultivation, and he had a tenacious personality and full of strength.
Su Qi originally wanted to promote him to captain and lead the troops into battle, but he refused and was willing to be his father's personal guard. On the last expedition, Su Qi seemed to sense some ominous commotion in the capital, so he left him and many elite guards to protect Su Mansion and protect the safety of the First Emperor.
Facts have proved that Uncle Hai and his comrades' guards did live up to Su Qi's expectations, even if they suffered heavy casualties in future assassinations and attacks, they still had no regrets and did not hesitate to protect Su Lingxuan's safety with their lives.
In the long period of fifteen years, Uncle Hai continued to experience actual combat in the early days, so that his combat power also continued to increase, and once reached the level of the third grade, and then those people noticed that the first emperor had his hands free and wanted to intervene in the affairs of Sufu, so he sent a first-grade martial artist in the last assassination, and Uncle Hai resisted desperately, although he finally repelled the first-grade martial artist, but he was also injured, leaving a dark disease, and was cut off an arm, and his strength fell sharply, and now there is only a slightly higher grade of five grades.
If it weren't for that, with the foundation of his talent, he would have definitely broken the shackles of the martial arts and raised the martial arts realm to above the second grade.
"Uncle Hai, I worked hard for you again last night."
Su Lingxuan looked at the fine droplets of water on Uncle Hai's forehead, and knew that this one had been hiding outside his bedroom all night to prevent someone from sneaking up on and assassinating, and he couldn't help but be moved in his heart.
"The safety of the young master is more important than everything."
Liao Hai said lightly.
"Uncle Hai, bear with me for a while. Soon, we will be able to get all our grudges and blood debts back with our own hands! ”
Su Lingxuan glanced at Uncle Hai meaningfully, the palms hidden in his sleeves were firmly clasped together, and he slowly paced away.
Uncle Hai silently looked at Su Lingxuan's back and couldn't help frowning.
He watched Su Lingxuan grow up, and every day he grows up, he has his attention and protection, theoretically speaking, he should be the person who knows Su Lingxuan in the world.
But the truth is that he has never seen through this little master.
At that time, the general Su Qi was powerful in the world, but also made countless enemies, whether it was within the Qianguo, or other countries, there were many people who could not be killed, under the mediation of people with intentions in all forces, many forces abandoned the previous suspicions, joined forces to cause the general to die in battle, and the invincible Su family army was wiped out.
After that, these people did not give up, and they wanted to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and deal with the general's wife and the little master who remained in the capital. After a series of dangerous incidents, the general's wife died depressed, and all the guards sacrificed except herself, and the entire Sufu was arranged by people with a heart to countless spies and killers, waiting for the opportunity to take his life and the little master's life.
In such an environment of internal and external troubles and no hope, even if he walked on the battlefield more than once and encountered many death crises, Liao Hai could not see any vitality, and there was no hope in his heart.
However, Su Lingxuan, who should have been more discouraged and self-defeating, surprised him a lot, and he didn't know where he got his confidence and confidence, even if he was constantly persecuted by the secret hands, even if he saw the guards pass away one by one, he was still full of confidence in the future, and seemed to be confident in everything.
Liao Hai didn't understand how his confidence and grace came from?
The enemies will definitely not sit idly by and watch him inherit the title of Duke of Wu'an and restore the glory of the Su family, even if this is already a one-in-a-million thing, they will definitely not allow such variables and situations to occur. Liao Hai is very sure that even if the young master is affirmed and appreciated by many Confucian masters for his wisdom, those people will not have the slightest hesitation and softness when they do it.
After all, they were a powerful force that even dared to disobey the orders of the First Emperor in secret!
In other words, the young master and his life are only a few months left. The closer they got to the young master's sixteenth birthday, the closer they were to death.
In this short period of time, it is no longer enough for the young master to turn the situation around and get out of the crisis safely!
But even so, he still looks unhurried and impatient.
Even said something like that just now.
Don't......
Standing for a long time, it was not until Su Lingxuan was about to walk out of the courtyard of his residence that Liao Hai suddenly woke up, walked a few steps neatly, and followed behind Su Lingxuan.
After breakfast, Liao Hai personally drove the two to the Six Arts Academy.
Along the way, Liao Hai's eyes couldn't help but observe the surroundings, guarding against emergencies that might arise at any time.
Originally, as Su Lingxuan, he must have a large number of guards to accompany him when he travels. Now that the world has just been unified, and the people of all countries have not yet been convinced of Qianguo, many people with lofty ideals from their heartfelt homeland are lurking in the capital, waiting for the time to assassinate the ministers of Qianguo, especially with the sensitivity of Su Lingxuan's identity, it is more likely to attract assassination.
However, Su Lingxuan and Liao Hai had experienced too many assassinations and persecutions, and they had long distrusted anyone other than each other, even if a considerable number of those guards were transferred from the forbidden army of the First Emperor's cronies, they still believed that they would never take a single soldier with them when they went out.
It was the beginning of the day, the streets were sparsely populated, and the guards who patrolled the city all night were tired, and the guards who took over had not yet arrived, and it was the time when it was easy to start, so at this time his guard was extremely strict, and the Canglan gun that accompanied him through one tragic battle after another was at hand, ensuring that he could draw it out at any time and devote himself to the battle.
"Drive! ——”
The carriage drove slowly down the wide streets.
The Six Arts Academy is located on the outskirts of the capital, and the more you go out, the more people you see on the streets, but these people are not residents of the capital, nor are they the buddies who set up stalls and shop early, but the homeless and homeless who have fled from other places.
