The shadow guard shook his head and said, "I don't know about my humble position. ”

Fang Xiu was silent for a long time, then nodded, and said, "Got it, let your commander come to see his true appearance." ”

Ying Wei hesitated and said, "The lowly leader is Tang Rou Tang. ”

When Fang Xiu heard this, he was slightly stunned, and sighed quite a lot: "She can get the trust of Begonia, it seems that she has performed well this year." ”

After being silent for a moment, he said, "Let your deputy commander come to see his true appearance, and don't let Tang Rou know." ”

"Yes!"

The shadow guard saluted and turned to leave.

Fang Xiu stood in place, his face thoughtful, and after a while, he had already made a decision, and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

After a long hiatus, it's time to take a break.

The Qianqing Palace is the residence of the Zhou Emperor, and he is the husband of the current Zhou Emperor, and it is reasonable to rest in the Qianqing Palace.

A moment later.

Fang Xiu came to the Qianqing Palace.

A palace maid stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the tables, chairs, and bedding in the palace have all been replaced with new ......."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Fang Xiu wave his hand, walked to the dragon couch, lay down, closed his eyes and recuperated.

Seeing this, the palace maid was slightly stunned, and her mouth opened, wanting to say something.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he still chose to be silent, as if he hadn't seen anything, and left the Qianqing Palace.

Meanwhile.

Jinnan City.

Somewhere in a hidden courtyard.

Under the dead tree.

A figure shrouded in a black robe stood straight, facing the room with his back to the door.

Behind.

A middle-aged man who looked ordinary stood there, like most of the people in Jinnan City, with a scruffy beard and wearing cotton clothes.

"Rou'er, the people of Yan have agreed to Dad's request, after the war between Qian and Zhou, the people of Yan will send troops to attack Qianguo, and lend Dad 10,000 cavalry, as long as Yongzhou is captured, let Dad take Wochuan Mansion as the capital division and re-establish Yan State!"

The middle-aged man's voice is not very recognizable, and it sounds no different from ordinary people.

Even when he spoke, his eyes burst out with a strange brilliance, and the whole person looked very excited.

"Dad has made a careful plan, as long as he can deceive the prime minister of Qianguo or the empress of Zhou out of the palace, he will be sure to kill them, and then cooperate with the sticky rod, Dad is at least ninety percent sure of setting off a war between Qianguo and Zhou."

When the middle-aged man said this, his expression became more and more excited, and he took a step forward and said: "Rou'er, Dad knows that you are now the commander of the first village in Jinnan, and the shadow guards of the first village are all at your disposal, as long as you cooperate, Dad's plan will definitely be realized!" ”

"Dad knows that your dream since childhood is to be chivalrous and righteous, and when the Night Kingdom is re-established, Dad will make you the head catcher of the Criminal Department and lead the ......hunting of the entire Night Country."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard an indifferent voice coming from him.

"I'm not going to help you."

"Rou'er, you ......"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was slightly stunned, revealing a look of disbelief.

After a while, the middle-aged man, who was sure that he had heard correctly, showed a solemn look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Dad has taught you and your sister since childhood, as a descendant of the royal family of the Night Country, don't forget the hatred of the country and the family feud, and always think about re-establishing the ......."

"It's been more than 80 years since the fall of the Night Kingdom, apart from my father, how many people still remember the existence of the Night Kingdom?"

Tang Rou turned around slowly, facing the middle-aged man, her handsome face showed no expression, and her tone was resolute.

"Even if it's my father, I've never seen the existence of the Night Kingdom, and some things shouldn't reappear after they are destroyed, just like people can't be resurrected after death, Dad, why are you obsessed with rebuilding a Night Kingdom that you haven't seen before?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, his face was incredulous.

He never thought that Rou'er, who had always been obedient, would say such a thing, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

"You...... You are my daughter, and you have the blood of the descendants of the Night Kingdom royal family in your veins! ”

The middle-aged man's eyes widened, staring at Tang Rou, almost squeezing out this sentence from between his teeth.

Tang Rou said coldly: "There is an existence like the Night Kingdom in the world, I don't know how many have been destroyed, maybe a beggar is pulled on the road, and there is some royal blood on his body!" ”

The voice fell.

The middle-aged man looked annoyed, gritted his teeth and said, "It's a big rebellion!" ”

Tang Rou said: "If you don't go against the rules, you will go against the rules!" I advise my father, it is the general trend to combine dry and Zhou, Yan Guo can't stop it, and my father can't stop it, instead of thinking about rebuilding the night country all day long, it is better to participate in the imperial examination and do the assassination history of Yongzhou. ”

It is no exaggeration to say that Tang Rou said more today than she said in the previous seven days.

Because these words have been holding back in her heart for a long time.

From the time she was very young, she was instilled with the belief that she would rebuild the Night Kingdom, and she had these doubts, but out of reverence for her father, she never said them.

Today, she is no longer the child she used to be.

After following her sister to Zhou Kingdom, her vision was no longer limited to the martial arts scripts she had read in her childhood.

She was more aware of it than before.

The so-called rebuilding of the Night Kingdom is nothing more than an obsession that can never be realized.

She will no longer let such an unrealistic obsession ruin her and her sister's lives.

"You!"

The middle-aged man was speechless by Tang Rou and stood in place for a long time.

This time.

Tang Rou said: "Since my father knows that my daughter is the person of the first village, I should be ready to fight with my daughter, but my daughter reminded my father in advance that my father's so-called careful plan has already been detected by the shadow guard of Yongzhou first village."

The guards around Fang Xiu and Li Yinyue were not something that their father's people could deal with.

Yan Guo has never put his father in his eyes, in the end, the power that his father has is not as good as that of Wei Dongzheng who fled from Zhou, and when it comes to influence in Zhou, it is even more difficult to compare to Wei Dongzheng, who was once the second assistant of Zhou State, if Yan Guo really wants to find a partner to cooperate, why not go to Wei Dongzheng, but find his father? ”

Speaking of this, Tang Rou sighed in her heart, her eyes showed a touch of unbearability, but she still said resolutely: "In the final analysis, it's just that Yan Guo's sticky rod uses Dad as a dispensable pawn, such a simple truth, even a smarter child can understand that Dad's obsession with rebuilding Yan Guo has blinded Dad's eyes."

If Dad continues to hold such an obsession, sooner or later, Dad will be killed by such an obsession. ”

The middle-aged man didn't expect that his daughter, who was once obedient to him, had only been seen for a year, and she had become a complete stranger.

He stood in place, as if he had been struck by lightning, his face was in a trance, and he couldn't say a word.

After a while, Fang Cai said in a deep voice: "Dad has always been proud of cultivating you and your sister, and now it seems that this is Dad's biggest failure and Dad's biggest shame." ”

Saying this, he no longer hesitated, nor did he linger, and turned away from the courtyard.

Tang Rou stood in place, looking at his back with a complicated expression.

Goose-feather snow fell from the sky, quickly covering her black robes with a layer of white.

She was like a statue, standing still.

After a long time, he shook off the snowflakes on his body and walked out of the yard.

That's at this time.

A shadow guard found her and said, "Commander, the master wants to see you." ”

The first village is a force that belongs to the Xiangguo government.

Therefore, from Shangguan Haitang to the most ordinary errand servants, they all called Fang Xiu as the master.

Only Tang Rou, whether in front of outsiders or in front of his colleagues in the first village, called "Fang Xiu" by his name.

Even so.

After completing several tasks assigned to her by Shangguan Haitang, she was still promoted by Shangguan Haitang to be the leader of the first village in Jinnan.

It can be seen that she is reliable.

"Hmm."

In front of the shadow guard.

Tang Rou returned to her original incomparably cold and proud appearance.

With his back to the shadow guard, he responded coldly.

Ying Wei had long been accustomed to Tang Rou's style of turning his back to people, and said: "The master is resting in the Qianqing Palace, and he can meet the commander at any time." ”

"Hmm."

Tang Rou responded coldly.

"Retire from your duties."

The shadow guard was surprised, and after saluting, he turned to leave.

"Why did he want to see me at this time?"

Tang Rou stood in place, and such a question involuntarily popped up in her mind.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, she still decided to enter the palace to see Fang Xiu.

No matter what Fang Xiu knew and wanted to do to her, she had no other choice.

Half an hour later.

Qianqing Palace.

It's been a year and five months.

Fang Xiu saw Tang Rou again.

It's different from the last time we met.

This time, what Fang Xiu saw was Tang Rou's back.

"Why do you have to turn your back on your true nature?"

Fang Xiu looked at Tang Rou who was standing in front of him, with a puzzled expression.

Tang Rou didn't reply.

“......”

Fang Xiu was a little speechless, and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Before he could speak, the shadow guard on the side came up and explained a few words in his ear.

When Fang Xiu heard this, he was a little crying and laughing, and said, "You are a peerless master who cosplays and overlooks all living beings?" ”

He knew that the Tang Rou in front of him was not very old, loved martial arts scripts, and was a serious secondary and secondary disease patient.

didn't expect that her secondary two disease had reached such a point.

Cosplay anytime, anywhere, and don't care about the gaze of outsiders at all.

Although Tang Rou didn't understand what it meant to rely on Spree, she could also understand the meaning of Fang Xiu's words from the smile that Fang Xiu was holding back, as well as the so-called "worldly masters overlooking all living beings".

At this moment, she was like a coser who came on stage for the first time, and a strong sense of shame surged in her heart.

This sense of shame made her want to find a hole to get into, and then disappear forever in front of Fang Xiu.

So that's how those guys see themselves?

Tang Rou took a deep breath and tried her best to calm her emotions, as if nothing had happened.

Turning around slowly, a pair of good-looking eyes looked at Fang Xiu, and said coldly: "You are looking for me, what is the matter?" ”

Fang Xiu looked at her with interest and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, but she looks like a master outside the world." ”

“......”

The corners of Tang Rou's eyes twitched, and the shame that had just calmed down swept over again.

Looking at Fang Xiu with a smile on her face in front of her, she couldn't wait to stab this hateful guy to death with a sword!

It was at this time.

Fang Xiu spoke again: "Do you want an antidote?" ”

Hearing this, Tang Rou was stunned at first, and then her heart jumped involuntarily.

Although she worked for the first village, her life was quite smooth, and she could receive the antidote every once in a while.

But as long as the poison remains in her body, she is essentially only a puppet!

How could a woman like her, who aspires to be a master of the world, be willing to be someone's puppet?

She wanted to say "yes", but the high-level demeanor she had maintained all along, she couldn't say such things.

Standing in place, his face flushed.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said: "The antidote can be given to you, but you have to be a personal guard for the prime minister for a year, and after a year, if you want to stay in the first village or wander the world, the prime minister will not stop you." ”

The voice fell.

Tang Rou was stunned again, with a look of hesitation on her face.

She knew that there was no shortage of guards by Fang Xiu's side.

Therefore, this so-called "personal guard" naturally aroused her reverie.

The so-called close-fitting, to what extent does it have to be close-fitting?

In case Fang Xiu still has to be by her side when she is resting, then she can't accept it.

Fang Xiu seemed to see her hesitation, and said: "In the next year, what Benxiang wants to do will offend many people, and there will be an endless stream of people who want to assassinate Benxiang, Shangguan Haitang said that you are the number one swordsman in the world, and with you to protect Benxiang, Benxiang will be much more at ease." ”

It is the first sword in the world.

Not the number one swordsman in the world.

Tang Rou silently corrected in her heart.

After thinking for a moment, she made a decision, raised her eyes to look at Fang Xiu, and said, "Okay." ”

Concise and to the point, as always.

The voice fell.

Fang Xiu took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out something that looked like an elixir from it, handed it to Tang Rou, and said, "Give you the antidote." ”

Antidote?

Tang Rou looked at the pill in his hand, stunned in place, and did not reach out.

This time.

Fang Xiu's voice sounded again.

"This antidote is different from what was given to you before, it can completely remove toxins from your body."

These words pulled Tang Rou back from her trance.

This moment.

She was finally sure that the antidote in front of her was the real antidote.

It's just that she couldn't understand why Fang Xiu would hand over the antidote to her at this time.

According to common sense, shouldn't she give her the antidote after protecting him for a year?

As if seeing Tang Rou's incomprehension, Fang Xiu explained: "Don't use suspicious people, don't be suspicious when employing people, since the original appearance uses you as a personal guard, I won't put additional shackles on you." ”

Actually, in addition to this, there is another reason.

That is, Tang Yixue is still under his control.

Fang Xiu knew that the two of them had a deep sisterhood, as long as Tang Yixue hadn't gotten the antidote, it would be impossible for Tang Rou to backstab Fang Xiu.

Tang Rou could naturally think of this.

However, even so, she still had a little admiration for Fang Xiu.

Especially this sentence.

Don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people...... There is also a kind of self-confidence and freedom of the world's masters.

It's like a sentence from a script.

Sure enough, in this aspect, she is still not as good as Shang Xiu.

Tang Rou sighed in her heart, stretched out her hand to take the pill, and after taking it, she looked at Fang Xiu, her voice was cold, and she said word by word.

"With me, no one can hurt you in the slightest......"
