Protector, these three words have no real sense for outsiders. Just like for students who have been in the ivory tower for a long time, the word "section chief" means "petty official", and the focus is on the word "small", which has a sense of indifferent contempt. But after really stepping into the society and going to work, you know that "section chief" means "boss", and the focus is on the word "up", which is a person who can scold you at any time and can't lift your head and open your eyes.

Luo Yuxi is not a student in an ivory tower, she knows how to respect her status, and tries to overestimate the concept of "protector". But when she really looked out of the car window, she really felt solemn.

Before the convoy arrived, the Xianyue Palace had already opened its door, and countless palace maids rushed out, kneeling in unison to greet them.

"Welcome the princess back to the palace!" the tidal woman's voice spread out layer by layer, and as the convoy marched, rows of female guards and female officials were like wheat fields lined up on both sides of the country road. When the respectfully kneeling figures passed in front of him, Luo Yuxi slightly understood the weight of the words "princess protecting the country".

And the protector, it is said that his status is not below the princess of the protector, but an extremely noble figure in the country of flowers.

Yang also saw this continuous kneeling, but compared with Luo Yuxi and Fang Lingji, who couldn't help but start to get nervous, he still sat quietly, his face unmoved. This revered thought of all beings could not shake his mind. After a slight glance, he no longer paid attention, his back was loose, and he was indifferently condensed.

Seeing this, Yihua nodded imperceptibly, and then sat beside Yang and said softly: "There is still some time from the palace gate to the apse, so I will briefly tell you." Our country is divided into two lines: governing the country and protecting the country. Each has its own heritage. Governing the country is king. Father and son. That line is the so-called royal family. Enjoy the luxury of the world, the harem beauties are rich and noble, and they are responsible for settling the world and governing the country. The Protector is all women, called the Protector Princess, whose status is higher than that of the royal princess, and is responsible for protecting the country. ”

"Responsible for guarding the country?" Yang looked at Yihua: "It shouldn't be the guardian of the war level, I don't think you look like you know the way of war and military strategy." ”

"Naturally. Yihua nodded: "Although it is to protect the country, there are also palace maids and guards. But it is not in charge of the army. We don't intervene in ordinary wars, we mainly deal with martial arts masters. Although there is a word 'princess', the princess who protects the country is not all directly served by the royal family. The first princess of the protector was the canonized princess, and although there were occasional direct members of the royal family in the following generations, more often they were collateral or even external. Just like my sister and I, in fact, we are not directly related to the Flower King Family, and we are very far from each other. ”

"Yes. Yang nodded. No matter how good a country's royal blood is, it can't produce masters from generation to generation, and open source drainage is an inevitable choice. And the royal family is so arrogant and lascivious, how can they have the heart to practice martial arts. Xiuyu and Yihua are arrogant, but rarely squeamish, and they really look different from the princesses in the general concept. It turns out that there is this reason in it. "What about the Protectors?"

"Protector, ......" Speaking of this, the expression of the flower moved solemnly. It is very different from the usual playful and unscrupulous appearance: "The task of the protector is actually very heavy. The protector is the guardian of the inheritance of the flower country and the country. The Protector will be in charge of the supreme lineage of the Protector of the Country, and his status is comparable to that of the Protector Princess, but more transcendent. ”

"Transcendence?" Yang raised his eyes and asked, "What kind of transcendental method?"

"To put it simply, there is no real power to have a noble position. Huahua also said bluntly: "In fact, the princess of the protector does not have much power in the government and the opposition, and we can't do it at all in the appointment and dismissal of officials in the DPRK and China." Dispatch troops, allocate money and food, etc., and can only transfer their own guards and manors for private gain. ”

Yang was energetic: "The so-called protector is more 'detached' than the princess - is it in principle that the protector asks the palace maid to fetch a glass of water, and the palace maid can ignore him?"

"How can it be so exaggerated, the protector is respected by the whole country, has no rights but has status. Shifting Hua retorted, and then smiled embarrassedly: "However, if you really want to say it, the palace maid is directly under the princess of the country, and she can indeed ignore you." Moreover, the protector of the Tao can cultivate, but he cannot teach the divine skill of protecting the country to others privately. ”

"Haha!" Yang was happy, shook his head and sighed while laughing: "What a cheap thug." ”

It's like if you spend half a day trying to get a house, and the real estate deed doesn't write your name. It's just a matter of living in normal times, but when you really want to get up, you can't find a basis for defending your rights.

"Ahh Fang Lingji glared and said, "Then what kind of protector is it, it won't do any good at all." ”

"There are still a lot of benefits. The fact that the apologists can learn divine skills is a benefit. In addition, the status of the protector is respected, and he can not worship the king in person, and if he goes to the court, he will be given a seat. In addition, including the Imperial Palace, there is no need to report unimpeded passage. Shifting flowers shrugged: "In short, there are benefits, but most of them are invisible." ”

After listening to Shifting Flowers' explanation, unlike Fang Lingji, who was still sullen, Luo Yuxi nodded thoughtfully. The hidden benefits are sometimes more than the benefits on the surface. Many people think that having no power and empty status is empty, and it can barely be said in the original world, but this is not the case in this world. The protector has mastered a high level of force and has the status of a superman, and in many cases is stronger and more leeway than mere power.

After all, the so-called stealth benefits are equivalent to side quests in the game. To take or not to take is a personal choice. If it's detached, then it's really empty, and there's no benefit. But if the people who design the camp can use these two points to obtain unimaginable benefits, and then the power will not be a problem.

It seems that this is really a very important position.

"Generally speaking, protectors must not be officials, not engaged in business, must not interfere in politics, and must not involve the abolition of the crown prince. If the flower country is invaded by a strong enemy, it will need to fight to defend it. Of course, there is no one who can order the protector in normal times, and there is no need to bow down when you see anyone, just carry out the mission. The benefits and responsibilities are roughly the same. However, when the Taoist protectors were canonized in history, it was mostly a time when the rivers and lakes were chaotic and the world was unstable, so it often didn't get any benefits. My sister also told me about the general situation this time. It is probably the law of subordination in a state of emergency. So I want to ask again: Do you really want to be a protector?"

Shifting flowers looked at Yang tightly. There was solemnity in his eyes. There was a sudden silence in the carriage. Hearing the sound of bowing and bowing outside, the carriage had already traveled a long distance and came to the square of the apse. With a creak, the carriage shook and stopped. Yang asked lightly, "How is the poison of Xiuyu?"

Hearing this, Shifting Flower's eyes flashed, and she shook her head slightly: "My sister's situation is more tricky than I imagined." ”

Someone outside opened the curtain, and the light poured into the carriage. Yang stood up. walked out first without hurrying. Although it was just a simple "line" on the day, since it had been promised, it was like writing a check and signing it, so it was naturally going to be discounted.

"I should. ”

Fang Lingji and Luo Yuxi only followed behind him, and before they knew it, the two of them were already looking at him. This man, who doesn't usually move much, will follow as long as he starts moving.

Huahua squinted at the man's back and muttered, "It's really Lang You's concubine's intention, then don't be a bad person." Except for me, though. Waiting to be the bad guys, there are still a bunch of them. "The sound is so small that ordinary people can't hear it. But she didn't bother to silence it. Someone Yang who was walking in front didn't react, and I don't know if he heard it.

The area of Xianyue Palace is not very vast, but the pavilions and pavilions are well designed, giving people a very complete sense of space. Under the guidance of the palace maid, Yang and the two daughters were arranged to rest in the wing, and the two princesses didn't know what to prepare. In the wing room, Yang and Luo Yuxi could calm down, but Fang Lingji couldn't settle down at all.

One moment to look around, the other to look left and right, it's like having ADHD.

"Hey, stupid, you said they would take me as an apprentice, right?" Fang Lingji looked very nervous, and her hands were about to rub the corners of her clothes: "I, I, I didn't pass many tests when I was tested, what should I do if I am turned away?"

From the time she met this little girl, one of her major purposes was to worship the flower country to protect the country, learn superior martial arts, and then take revenge. Now that he has really come to the Immortal Moon Palace, he is naturally nervous. And Luo Yuxi was not obvious on her face, and she was actually a little apprehensive in her heart, because she also had the same mind as Fang Lingji, and she also wanted to learn from a teacher.

Coming to this magical world, you can't just live like this. In this treacherous river and lake, instead of headless flies, it is better to seize the opportunity in front of you. She had seen Xiuyu and Huahua, and they were all women from top to bottom, so she wouldn't do anything unspeakable to her. She has seen the strength of the two princesses with her own eyes, so no matter what aspect she considers, it is the best choice to worship the two of them.

Unlike Fang Lingji, she is a social person after all and knows a lot of ways. During this time, she had a lot of relationships with many palace maids, especially Night Lily, and she came up with a lot of information and secretly prepared. With her wrist on ideas, she's not a master who only does things in a hurry.

"Brother Yang," Luo Yuxi hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you think I can become a disciple here?"

Yang is a protector in the future, and Princess Shifting Flowers has a very different attitude towards him. Even if there is no obvious real power, a sentence is better than a hundred sentences of others.

Yang looked at Luo Yuxi, didn't say anything, just smiled lightly. Those penetrating eyes seemed to have seen her little Jiujiu in an instant. He didn't answer, because what Luo Yuxi wanted was not his answer at all, it was a question that didn't need to be answered—Luo Yuxi saw such a meaning in those eyes.

So she immediately lowered her head in a slight panic, like a child who has been exposed by her parents. Then she raised her head again, hesitated slightly, and said, "I...... I just don't want to be weak anymore, I want to be strong, I want to be strong, I want to be strong and I want to be the strong one who controls my own destiny. Brother Yang, do you think I can become stronger?"

Yang finally replied: "The strong should be self-reliant, and the self-reliant can be strong." Yuxi, I don't know what your identity was before, but if you have the heart of a strong person, you can naturally become a strong person. ”

Obviously, the two are about the same age, and Luo Yuxi seems to be the prelude to the late otome royal sister, but at this moment, she has a feeling of being enlightened and educated by the teacher. What the other party said was obviously false, but in that focused, clear and bottomless gaze, Luo Yuxi felt something that could not be taught in words, a kind of power beyond words.

So Luo Yuxi is awe-inspiring. Then he bowed his head: "Yes." ”

Then. The door opened. Several palace maids rushed in: "Master Yang, Miss Fang, Miss Luo, please go with us to bathe and change clothes." ”

Luo Yuxi and Fang Lingji glanced at each other, and the main topic was about to begin.

The canonization of the protector is obviously not a trivial matter, and it must have its own steps and rituals. As apprentices, the two girls naturally have their own preparations to make. To put it simply, after bathing and changing clothes, the two girls came to the main hall of Xianyue Palace under the guidance of all the palace maids. There were eight high-ranking palace maids standing in front of them, and Night Lily was just one of them. These eight men stood closest to the top. There are also various female officials lined up, and the two women can only wait quietly in the last corner.

After a while, probably the auspicious time had arrived, someone announced loudly, and the two princesses came together.

Luo Yuxi and Fang Lingji's eyes immediately widened, and Fang Lingji even opened her small mouth to make a "wow" mouth. Although it is not unseen in ordinary times, and flower transfer is even more common, but the dress of the two princesses today is definitely different from that of weekdays. It's very solemn and formal. The lotus step moved slightly, and the skirt of the long skirt dragged across the spotless jade ground. The long black hair still hangs down the waist even after being pulled into a beautiful bun. The two of them walked on the ground as if they were walking in the clouds. It's like a goddess.

The two walked to the top, turned and sat down side by side, and their every move was noble and elegant. Fang Lingji was already stunned, she didn't remember what rituals were carried out later, she only felt that today's embroidered jade was beautiful. Originally, among the two sisters, Yihua was the one with a flawless appearance, but from the embroidered jade, it exuded a brilliance, which made people dizzy.

I don't know when, the ceremony reached a critical moment, and Yang stepped into the main hall. Dressed in a new way, Yang walked in under the gaze of the women on both sides. Not to mention, he has long hair and wears a good outfit, which is really indescribable. It's like there's a slow-motion shot, with the sleeves flicking, the clothes flying, and the special effects are good. A pair of godly eyes, coupled with a slight face, is really impressive.

In terms of appearance, Yang did a good job and was able to control the scene. The female officials of the palace had mixed reactions, but they were all good reactions.

The two princesses stood up, and the sharp-eyed Fang Lingji seemed to smile slightly when she saw Xiuyu.

Quiet and thin like a flower, and a light smile like a dew.

At this moment, Luo Yuxi, who was also a woman, sensed something from that faint smile and couldn't help but smile too.

When Yang walked up to the two princesses, the master of ceremonies just finished reading out the various scenes. Just as he was about to perform the next ceremony, a little palace maid ran in and whispered something in the ear of Night Lily. Fang Lingji saw this small action and knew that something must have happened, Xiuyu didn't need the night lily to report again, and directly raised her hand: "Quiet." ”

So it was quiet all of a sudden.

Xiuyu came to someone Yang, not close or far: "Just skip the false courtesy, Yang Gongzi, you don't care if you want to come." ”

Yang smiled: "Actually, I already think it's too grand." The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and you and I don't need these things for the covenant. ”

"Hmm. Xiuyu nodded, then took a slight breath and looked up at the eyes of the man opposite: "At this time, I finally asked: Are you willing to be the protector of the Huaguo and the country?"

Yang nodded solemnly: "Yes." ”

"Well, today I officially declare ...... as the princess of the Flower Country."

"Wait!" At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the hall, and someone was speeding towards this side.

The two girls didn't know why, the palace maid raised her head vigilantly, and Yihua sighed and shook her head: "Hurry up or ......" Only Xiuyu ignored the voice and continued: "From now on, ......"

"I said slowly, didn't you hear me!" a shrill voice shouted mixed with internal strength, and in the blink of an eye it was already at the door.

Xiuyu ignored the man, just looked at someone Yang: "You are my ......"

Whew, a figure flashed into the main hall, and it was a woman. This woman was dressed in palace clothes, she looked to be about middle-aged and elderly, her hair was black and white, and her face was solemn, Fang Lingji felt that the boss didn't like it when she saw her. She didn't stop, and she rushed straight to someone Yang in the hall, and in both palms, she actually raised her skill and slapped Yang someone's heart, and at the same time screamed: "Princess, you can't do it!"

Huahua frowned, and instantly flashed in front of the old woman, and the old woman hurriedly withdrew her hand, and fell to the ground in a volley. At this time, Xiuyu had already finished the last few words: "...... The Protector of the Way. ”

"You!" the old woman gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Okay, good, the old slave is a step late." But the Protector is absolutely not going to work. Absolutely not!"

"Show Yang Gongzi. Xiuyu still ignored her. Doesn't seem too lazy to talk to her. The palace maids quickly moved the seats, and Yang sat down safely, without glancing at the old woman. Shifting flowers was unhappy, and stretched out her hand to point at the old woman and said angrily: "Who is my Tao, it turns out to be Mama Wan." You are so bold, you are yelling and screaming in this Xianyue Palace, did you want to hit me just now?"

"The old slave didn't dare. In the face of the anger of the shifting flowers, this Wan Mama said that she didn't dare. But there was no fear in his expression: "The old slave is not trying to attack the princess, but to let the princess restrain herself from the precipice." Who would have thought that the two princesses who were the princesses of the country would not repent and do such a wrong thing. This so-called protector of the Tao categorically disagrees!"

The conflict was intensifying, Fang Lingji rolled her eyes, and quietly asked the palace maid next to her: "Who is this dead old woman, it's too arrogant." Luo Yuxi also pricked up his ears, he didn't expect this kind of change to happen, it seems that this Wan Mama is not small.

The palace maid immediately replied: "This Wan Ma is one of the four grandmothers in the Wanshou Palace. ”

"Wanshou Palace?" sounds familiar.

The palace maid said succinctly: "It's the queen's person." ”

Muttering here. The flower moved over there: "Tut-tut, it's really weird." We, the Immortal Moon Palace, canonized the protector of the Dao. When will it be the turn of one of your servants in the Wanshou Hall to make irresponsible remarks?"

"The old slave naturally didn't dare, but ......" Mama Wan didn't show weakness at all, and wanted to say something, when she saw Xiuyu suddenly snap on the handrail, and the whole hall was quiet. Xiuyu said expressionlessly and unhurriedly: "This matter has been decided, and it is useless for anyone to oppose it." Any more nonsense - I'll kill you. ”

Mama Wan suddenly froze, because the hidden murderous aura was real. She didn't believe that Xiuyu would really do it, but at the moment, she was a little bottomless.

At this moment, the sound of the wooden staff tapping from far and near, obviously unhurried, but in the blink of an eye, it had already arrived at the door. An old voice came in: "Xiao Xiuyu, a subordinate should indeed not collide with the master, it is indeed a punishment." But to say, 'This matter is decided,' is an exaggeration. As for the canonization of the Taoist protector, the old man thought it was better to think about it again. ”

With the voice, two rickety old women with white hair walked in. These two people probably looked more than a hundred years old, with goosebumps and wrinkled faces, no distinct facial features, and their eyes were narrowed into two slits and they couldn't see the eyeballs. But the wrinkles of the two are very distinctive, one of them has wrinkles up, and the whole face seems to be smiling. The other sank, bitter and barred.

In addition, there were three middle-aged and elderly women following behind the two, and after Mama Wan was placed in the middle-aged and elderly queue, the rocker also straightened up, and her expression was also angry, obviously the backer had arrived.

"Who are these two?" Fang Lingji asked in a low voice, "It looks quite powerful." ”

"It's Granny Ku and Granny Rong, the highest level of the Wanshou Palace, and the princess of the royal bloodline. The palace maid said nervously: "Kurong's two mothers-in-law and four grandmothers are all here, it seems that there will be trouble today." ”

The old woman with a wrinkled smile was Granny Rong, and she was the one who just spoke: "Little Xiuyu, according to the ancestral etiquette, the protector is indeed sealed by the line of protecting the country." But the protector is a major event in the entire flower country, and it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people, and it is probably not appropriate to protect the country and make decisions without the royal family alone. No matter what, this flower country is still the flower country of the royal family, and everything big or small is determined by the king, and Xianyue Palace should not be too much. ”

As soon as she was about to fight back, she saw another withered woman suddenly slam her crutches to the ground, and the entire hall reverberated with a bang, showing extraordinary skills. The withered mother-in-law glanced around, then stared at someone Yang tightly, and said coldly: "The old body is the princess of Anyang who was sealed by the prince of the first prince, why don't you worship me when you see me?"

All the palace maids, look at me, I look at you, Hua Hua snorted angrily, and had to bow down and say, "Meet Princess Anyang!" Fang Lingji was reluctant, but she was still pulled by Luo Yuxi and owed a debt.

"Well, well, well, let's all be flat. Granny Rong looked around with a smile: "According to the ancestral etiquette, the female guards of the palace who protect the country can perform half a salute in addition to seeing the king, queen, queen mother and princess of the country, you have done a good job." But-" As soon as the conversation turned, she pointed to someone Yang who was still sitting quietly and completely motionless: "According to the ancestral etiquette, the king needs to give the protector the edict before the canonization is completed." In any case, this man is not a protector today. Since he is not a protector, he is a grass people. Just grass people, don't kneel when you see the princess, Mama Wan, how should you follow the law?"

Mama Wan in the back immediately smiled grimly and replied loudly: "If you go back to the princess, you should be killed!" (to be continued......)
