At night, the backyard of the General's Mansion was unusually quiet.

There were two weak candles burning in Shangguan Liuying's boudoir, and a black figure appeared in the room where she was supposed to be alone.

The dark figure came out of the corner and knelt respectfully in front of Shangguan Liuying.

"Are you Ying Yi?" Shangguan Liuying looked at the man in front of her in a daze.

The reason why she did such a crazy move just now was entirely out of trust in her father.

Her father in her previous life had told her that he had always arranged secret guards to protect her, but in order to prevent the old emperor from worrying too much, the secret guards could only take action when her life was endangered.

This is also the reason why she still has a little courage when facing the mysterious man during the day, because she knows that she will not die so easily.

These secret guards had sacrificed their lives to protect their father, so Shangguan Liuying would not doubt their loyalty.

Now that everything in the general's mansion is under Liu Mei's control, she needs to cultivate her own strength.

Undoubtedly, the secret guard is the most suitable.

"Yes, I am Ying Yi, miss."

Ying Yi had a popular face, the kind that wouldn't attract anyone's attention. He now had a lot of doubts in his heart. He really didn't understand how Shangguan Liuying knew about his existence.

Shangguan Liuying's actions surprised him several times today. Take the man on the carriage during the day as an example. Ying Yi was actually ready to take action at any time, but the development of things far exceeded his expectations!

Shangguan Liuying actually solved the matter by herself!

He was no less surprised then than he is now.

"Is there anyone else in the dark?" Shangguan Liuying said calmly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Even if she knew, she wouldn't blame Ying Yi for what happened during the day. In that case, Ying Yi's appearance would only make things more complicated.

"There are three more people on the periphery..." Ying Yi answered truthfully.

"From today on, you are no longer a secret guard. I will put you in my courtyard. First, I will make you my guard. From now on, no matter where I go, you will follow me. Is it possible?"

Shangguan Liuying went straight to the point without any unnecessary nonsense.

Ying Yi was obviously stunned, "This... but the general's side..."

Perhaps he was used to being frightened today, and his heart was already numb.

"I will tell my father, don't worry. He asked you to protect me just because he didn't want me to get hurt. As for you, it doesn't matter whether you are doing it openly or secretly." Shangguan Liuying still had some confidence, "Let the other three People continue to stay in the shadows, I will use them."

"Yes."

Yingyi left, quietly, just as elusive as when he appeared.

This day seemed to have passed very long. Shangguan Liuying stretched out and lay on the bed. Many clips flashed through his mind, including those from his previous life and some from this life.

Before going to sleep, a thought flashed through her mind, why not just let Ying Yi deal with Liu Mei quietly?

No, it would be too cheap to die like this, Liu Mei!

She wanted Liu Mei to feel the despair and pain she had felt!

His eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

The night is getting darker and darker, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

There are several brightly lit places in the upper capital, the most famous of which is the Heshan Gambling House. Someone once joked that a gambling house was named Heshan, and it was not known who wanted to make it harmonious.

The gambling room was full of people, filled with smoke. Some of these people were red-faced or excited, and it was very lively.

Of course, a place like this is indispensable for thugs. The thugs patrol together in twos and threes. As long as it does not involve the interests of the gambling house, they generally will not take action.

There is a secret room deeper in the gambling house that is unknown to outsiders.

There were only three people in the secret room at the moment. Except for a woman hidden under a large brocade robe, the other two were actually known to Shangguan Liuying.

The mysterious masked man in the daytime and the ugly old man in the wine shop.

The atmosphere in the secret room was inexplicably tense. The ugly man and the woman stood respectfully, while the man sat aside.

"Sir, Leshan has been sent away safely. It was the negligence of my subordinates that caused the master to be injured and almost be guarded..." The woman spoke, her voice melodious, but with a hint of panic.

It turned out that the man hid in Shangguan Liuying's carriage during the day for this purpose. The Leshan they said was the man who snatched it from the hands of the inner guards, so the inner guards pursued him closely.

"Jiuniang, how long have you been with me?"

"fifteen years."

"It's been fifteen years. Time flies so fast. Forget it this time. If it happens again, you know the consequences." The man's voice was low and seemed casual, but it still frightened Jiuniang.

No one knows the man in front of her better than she does. As the most mysterious figure in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Gongzi Yi has too many secrets about him, but everyone who has seen his true face has already gone to see the King of Hell, let alone those who Those who offend him...

"Thank you, sir." Jiuniang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"How's it going over there at Chuyun?"

Gongzi Yi's back was turned to Jiuniang, his head slightly lowered, his long eyelashes reflected in the candlelight. He stretched out his hand to fumble around his waist, and then frowned.

"Don't worry, Young Master, it has been arranged." Jiuniang was extremely respectful, but when she looked at Young Master Yi's waist, her eyes widened in panic, "Young Master, your jade pendant..."

The ugly man also looked over after hearing this, and then frowned, "Young Master..."

That jade pendant is a symbol of the prince's status. When all the underground organizations in the capital see that jade pendant, it is like the ministers seeing the emperor's sword.

Usually the young master always wears it close to his body, and they dare not imagine the consequences of losing the jade pendant.

"Go down and keep an eye on Chu Yun." Gongzi Yi did not answer her words, but calmly turned around and walked deeper into the secret room, and the ugly man followed him step by step.

"Yes." Jiuniang looked at Gongzi Yi's back affectionately and worriedly. Only when he turned his back to her did she have the courage to stare at him.

When she came to the secret room, she turned around and turned into the charming and shrewd proprietress of the gambling shop.

In fact, many people in this world wear masks, and what we see may not be true.

In the secret room, the ugly man was healing the man's wounds, "Sir, I don't know how the lady from the Shangguan family got the news about us..."

"It's really strange. She seems different from the rumors," Young Master Yi frowned slightly, "Find someone to keep an eye on the general's mansion. If she hadn't accidentally bumped into her, I'm afraid Shangguan Han would have discovered us."

"Sir, do you need it?" A hint of murderous intent flashed in the ugly man's eyes.

"Don't act rashly. Shangguan Han is an unpredictable person. If you can't make friends, you can't make enemies easily." Young Master Yi said in a deep voice.

The emperor was deeply afraid of Shangguan Hanshang, let alone other people.

They were brothers who had been on the battlefield together. Unfortunately, the older the emperor got, the more suspicious he became. He had already forgotten that it was his dead brother. Instead, he guarded Shangguan Han like a thief and did not even allow Shangguan Han to return to the capital privately.

As we all know, Shangguan Liuying was kept in Beijing just to contain Shangguan Han.

After all, Shangguan Han only had such an only daughter, and he loved her very much.

He was just curious that Shangguan Liuying was very different from the rumors. She didn't look like that kind of idiot woman with empty beauty. The jade pendant should have been dropped on her carriage. It seemed that he had to go and get it back in person.

"Find a time to send her a message to see what she wants to do. If it involves Shangguan Han, report it to me immediately."

If Shangguan Han makes any changes, it may be an opportunity for him.
