After dinner, Jiang Yao was looking at the book, a little sleepy, Zhang Sheng was said by Liu Shangyi to come in, Jiang Yao immediately straightened up.

"The slave sees the emperor, and the slave came today to ask for something."

Jiang Yao glanced at Liu Shangyi when she heard this, and asked inexplicably: "Father-in-law Zhang, what's on your mind, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I can help naturally." ”

Zhang Sheng knelt down, prostrate on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the slave has been with the first master for half his life, and now the slave is also old, the first master has gone, and the slave is reluctant to be lonely in the cemetery." Therefore, the slave begged the emperor to let the slave go to guard the tomb of the former lord. ”

Jiang Yao escaped the reality for a few days, and was turned out by Zhang Sheng at once, he remembered the scene of falling to the ground, and looking at her reluctant eyes, Jiang Yao turned around, her eyes were full of tears.

Liu Shangyi looked at Jiang Yao and remembered the pain again, and hurriedly pulled Zhang Sheng to stand up, and said, "Get up quickly, you are a good thing, loyalty is the Lord, and the emperor will agree." ”

Jiang Yao walked to the dormitory and found the ring that Chu Yan had presented at the beginning, she originally thought of waiting until the night of the candle in the cave room and personally bringing it for Situ Qingyin, but now it is a matter of fact.

She looked at the dragon ring in her hand, she took it off vigorously, put it down in her palm, and turned it gently, and a red female dragon head turned out, which was vivid.

In the end, she put it in her purse, and she took the brocade box and handed it to Zhang Sheng, "Put it in the tomb." ”

Zhang Sheng took it respectfully, Jiang Yao didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the Mingde Palace. Looking at the still prosperous Tansi City in the distance, she clenched her palms tightly, no matter what, she would protect the Xuqing Kingdom.

The next day, before dawn, Jiang Yao was sent to the carriage out of the palace by Liu Shangyi, and she sat on it alone, lifted the curtain to Liu Shangyi, and said softly: "Shangyi, King's Landing and Ah Yao will be handed over to you." ”

Liu Shangyi nodded with worried empty eyes, and then the carriage left and rushed to the dock. When Jiang Yao got out of the carriage, Su Lie was already waiting at the dock, followed by Hai Jin with a smile.

After a while of greetings and encouragement, Hai Jin leaned into Jiang Yao's ear and whispered: "I found you a top killer, this killer is one in a million, but you have to enjoy it." ”

Jiang Yao knew that Hai Jin's mouth would definitely not be able to say good words, full of foul words like an old bustard, she coughed lightly, glanced at Hai Jin with disgust, and walked straight to the boat, waving her hand very chicly.

"Let's go back."

She looked at the narrow boat in front of her, there were only two cabins, it was really cramped, Jiang Yao walked into the cabin, watched the transmission move slowly, listened to the sound of the splash of oars in her ears, and felt a little indescribable loneliness in her heart.

Tansi City slowly moved away, the water surface gradually became larger, the early morning sun shone on the water surface, full of sparkling golden light, Jiang Yao stood at the window and looked tired and turned to sit down, and was jumped by a man in black standing at the door.

"Ahh Who are you! ”

At this time, dressed in black from head to toe, with a veil on his face, he looked like a killer, and his cold and heavy beauty looked at Jiang Yao, with a confused look in his eyes.

Holding a long black sword, he leaned against the door, motionless.

Jiang Yao saw that he was now on the boat, and there was no way to escape, so he picked up the porcelain bottle beside him and pointed at the man in black: "Don't come here!" Who are you? ”

The man looked at Jiang Yao frowning, and said in a deep voice, "Killer." ”

Jiang Yao's heart was even colder, she didn't think of Hai Jin's words at all, her mind was blank, and she asked again tremblingly, "What are you doing in my room?" ”

"Protect you."

Jiang Yao's mind had already flashed countless pictures of killing people and stealing goods, but she didn't expect such an answer, she put down the porcelain vase at once, and asked in surprise: "What did you say?" ”

His brow furrowed tightly, it was the first time he had seen such an employer, "Protect you." ”

Jiang Yao thought about it at this time, thinking of Hai Jin's words, she looked at this person with puzzled eyes, slowly approached and looked from top to bottom, and said: "This body looks like he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, but since you are protecting me, you can't stand in my room." ”

The man's eyes looked at Jiang Yao, looked at the good-looking cheeks, slowly approached, and saw more and more clearly, the skin was as white as congealed fat, and he blinked his eyes.

"Where are you going?"

Jiang Yao thought that those killers should all be on the beams of the house, falling from the sky when necessary, so he pointed to it. The man didn't even look at it, and his body didn't move a bit, Jiang Yao was very puzzled that he didn't speak.

So I looked up, and when I looked up, it was already a ship, and there were any beams there. Jiang Yao couldn't help but smile dryly, looked serious, pointed to the door and said, "Go out." ”

The man didn't make any moves, Jiang Yao's anger came up, and there were still people in the world who dared to go against her will, so he became angry and yelled: "I'll let you out!" ”

His eyes were even more resolute, without any movement, and he said in a low voice: "Protect you."

Jiang Yao was silent all of a sudden, and there was no way, so she sat on the chair by herself, her eyes looking at the water outside the window. The early morning breeze blew in, with a hint of warmth, and looked at the river scenery with calm thoughts.

Now that the mountains are high and the waters are deep, she is the Jade Emperor, and she can't resist a killer, so if she throws her into the water in a minute, she will really be finished.

She let out a long sigh, this cowardice can sometimes save her life.

But in the man's opinion, this woman is really a little crazy, and she didn't look arrogant just now, let him go out, and sit by the window for a while and sigh.

Her eyes became more and more worried, Jiang Yao hugged her body and nestled in the chair, leaning on the back of the chair to listen to the business of the waves. She was actually poked in the heart by the killer's sentence to protect you, and all the domineering in an instant collapsed.

She thought of Duan Jingyan and Situ Qingyin, all of them said well, and they had protected her all their lives, but now it was the turn of a strange hired killer to protect her.

It's a bit ironic, but it's also human.

"What's your name?"

After being silent for a long time, Jiang Yao looked at Jiang Jing, turned his back to the man, and suddenly asked such a question, and the man replied without thinking: "Nameless." ”

"Why don't you have a name, people live without a name, so how can others remember you?"

"No need to remember, no need to name."

"Oh, you're a killer too."

Jiang Yao held her chin on the armrest, and asked with interest, "Then do you know who I am?" ”

The man swung his sword, looked at Jiang Yao's figure, shrunk on the chair, full of loneliness with nothing to rely on.

"The shopkeeper of Yaochi."

Jiang Yao nodded, sounding clear about the purpose of the business, "Yes, then do you know where we're going?" ”

"It doesn't matter."

If you stay alone for a long time, you just want to talk to others, even if it's a cold-faced killer. She thought about the people she had seen who killed people without blinking, or who had killed themselves by biting on poison after the incident.

couldn't help but chuckle at the corners of his mouth, the man looked at Jiang Yao's faint smile, so beautiful that everything was lost, and his eyes seemed to be unable to take away from her, as if he wanted to suck her over.
