Rebirth: Miss Xiao doesn’t want the heir apparent anymore

In the deserted Shanjia Village, a voice came from a barely habitable house:

"How about it, do you know where the master is being held?" It was 51 who spoke.

"Found it. In the dungeon of the prefect's office, the sixth and seventh old men sneaked in." The person who replied was 52.

51 said solemnly: "Wait for now. Master asked us to wait until Mr. Mu arrives with his troops and horses no matter what happens. However, protecting the master's safety is our first responsibility. Tell Lao Liu Lao Qi, If an emergency occurs, ensure the safety of the master first."

"Yes, boss." 52 cupped his fists and retreated.

51 looked cold, they came in from the back mountain, the master was afraid that the surrounding city was already occupied by the prefect, so they did not want to appear in front of others, so they sneaked in quietly. As expected, the surrounding city was already occupied by the prefect.

He had better contact 21 them first. Their team is good at archery and is a master of assassination. They must ensure the safety of their master. If they obeyed Mu Chennian's order at first because of the jade pendant, then... I really admire Mu Chennian, especially Xiao Zixi.

He still remembered that when they first met, Xiao Zixi asked them with a complicated expression:

"Because of this jade pendant, you followed Mu Chennian's orders. If Mu Chennian asked you to assassinate old, weak women and children who are powerless to kill, would you also do it?"

"of course."

21 replied with a firm expression, and 51 nodded in affirmation. They have been like this since elementary school, absolutely obeying their master's orders.However, they didn't know who their master was. They only knew that they were loyal to the bloodline of the Dajin royal family who wore the jade pendant.

"If the owner of this jade pendant is a sinister and cunning person, do you have to obey him?" Xiao Zixi looked at 21 with a gloomy expression.

"The person wearing this jade pendant must be of the blood of the Da Kyung royal family before we will regard him as our master. Of course, we will absolutely obey his orders."

21 answered the truth, and 51 looked confused. He didn't know why Xiao Zixi was so angry. What they said were all facts, and they were all taught by the elders from childhood.

"Loyalty is a good thing, but what's the difference between being foolishly loyal and helping others do evil?"

Xiao Zixi's question silenced them, and he had never thought about this issue.

"The original intention of Taizu to establish "Heiyao" should be to protect the people of Dajin, not to consolidate the imperial power. Mu Chennian has royal blood and jade pendants, but he can only mobilize three teams of people. I think the reason is probably It was Taizu who wanted to prevent the corruption of the imperial power. If the jade pendant falls into the hands of a cunning and cunning royal bloodline who knows no difference between loyalty and treachery, wouldn’t it mean that all the people in Dajin would be in ruins and the people would be in dire straits?”

After listening to Xiao Zixi's words, they suddenly realized that yes, they were chosen by the elders in the first place because they had the heart to sacrifice their lives for the people of the world.

They were all orphans due to war or natural disasters. What they wanted most was for peace in the world and for the government to be upright. I don’t know when they changed, abandoned their original intentions, and became puppets who could only obey orders.

Seeing that their faces seemed to understand, Xiao Zixi said again: "I hope you will obey our orders because you think we are trustworthy and worthy of loyalty, not because of that jade pendant."
