obey

Yingwu, the little boy Yingwei, jumped like a little grasshopper, and spared no effort every day to secretly advise his highness:

Fight cocks today and play cards tomorrow, go to Goulan to collect incense the day after tomorrow, and go to the border town to moleste the female general and the princess of the enemy country the day after tomorrow.

Even Li Yuan praised that if Ying Wu was reincarnated as a son, he would definitely be the most prodigal among the prodigal sons of the Great Cheng Kingdom.

Seeing the increasingly gloomy expression of Eye Shadow Si, Li Yuan didn't want to let his father know about the itinerary that caused trouble, so he acted generously: "Since that's the case, I'm still busy, let's go first."

After finally making a trip to Xunzhou, I'm rushing to Shuangyinfang to play cards and take a bath with Liang Xiaoliang's third young master later, the schedule is tight.

Ying Qi watched His Royal Highness leave, until the brocade color of the Xueqing robe faded, and the long-haired back disappeared from sight, then she looked away reluctantly.

Ying Si sat down on the stone platform in front of the Shadow Palace, with a dark green nine-section whip hanging around his waist, and Ying Wu made the group of guards line up underneath.

Ying Wu was only 14 years old, and he had a baby face. It looked like it had no deterrent effect, except for the pair of blood-red sharp hooks on his two fingers, which added a touch of murderous blood to this young man.

Among the three in charge of the Shadow Palace, there is a casting master, known as a master craftsman. The nine-section whip of Shadow Four is from him, named "Moyu", and the hook of Shadow Five is named "Red Maple". They are all unique in the world. Top grade murder weapon.

Not all shadow guards can get the weapons made by Zhao Shenjiang himself. Only when ghost guards that can be encountered but not sought after appear and are recognized by everyone, the master Shen Jiang will come out of the mountain, open the forging furnace, forge murder weapons, wear ghost guards, and cross the mountain. Empty was born.

The old prince used to have thirteen ghost guards who fought in all directions with his Howling Wolf Battalion, but now they have all retired and retreated to the rivers and lakes. The palace has replaced a new batch of young ghost guards.

Shadow Four said to the guards: "Come here one by one."

The honest young man who had just answered Li Yuan's question stood opposite, stunned for a moment, not knowing why, looked around, pointed at himself and asked Ying Si: "Me, me?"

Ying Wu was leaning under the big camphor tree in front of the Shadow Palace, smiling crisply with a piece of bristlegrass in his mouth, and stuttered like this honest man: "Nonsense, hurry over, you are so stupid!"

The honest young man hurried past.

Twenty guards were sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion, among them there were spies who had been trained for many years, but there were also real guards, half of which were true and false.

"Sir, my name is Ge Er." The honest young man stammered even more when he was nervous, and he looked like a guard who had no knowledge and had worked in the prime minister's mansion all year round and had never been outside.

Ying Si coldly stared at Ge Er's honest eyes, and kept staring at him, Ge Er blushed and felt uncomfortable, but as soon as he avoided Ying Si's cold gaze, Ying Si would call him and continue to look at him .

"Sir...I..." Ge Er really couldn't help wondering, as soon as he opened his mouth, his neck was suddenly grabbed by a hand like iron tongs. The blue veins in Er's right hand on his neck bulged, and Ge Er's face turned into a liver-colored color. He grabbed Ying Si's hand with all his strength, struggled and kicked desperately, but he couldn't make a sound, his eyes turned white, and suddenly, he only heard a few words. There was a sound of broken bones that made the back molars tremble, Ge Er suddenly fell silent, and tilted his head to one side.

Ying Si let go of his hands expressionlessly, and Ge Er collapsed on the ground like a puddle of soft flesh, but was crushed by Ying Si's neck with one single hand, and died instantly.

Everyone present was stunned, and there was a moment of silence.Ying Qi also stared wide-eyed in surprise, looking at the corpse on the ground in disbelief.

He was executed on the spot without doing anything.

Ying Qi was frightened, he didn't understand why Ge Er was executed, or was it that the Qi Palace didn't trust the guards sent by the prime minister, so they planned to execute them all?

There are also a few people in this team who have the same thought as Ying Qi, for no reason, and their legs are weak from fright.

There were also a few guards who were even more terrified, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.

Because a few of them know the inside story.

Ge Er is the eyeliner of the Prime Minister's subordinates, who specialize in searching for information for the Prime Minister's Mansion. On the surface, he is simple and honest, but in fact he is a master of disguise, a spy specially inserted by the Prime Minister.

They don't understand, what is the shadow guard of the Qi Palace relying on to make a judgment, or to kill wantonly.If it is really possible to tell whether it is a meticulous work just by looking at it, this person is too scary.

"Next." Shadow Four said indifferently.

Ying Wu sat on the branch and dangled his legs happily, the red maple hook finger of his right hand lightly hooked on the bark, drawing two deep ravines.

He scratched his head and urged the tall and thin guard who had just stood second in the line: "Hurry up, didn't you hear my brother say the next one? We're still waiting for dinner, so many of you still have to check it out until night." ? Hurry up."

As soon as Ge Er died, the one standing at the head of the team became a tall and thin bodyguard. He looked at the corpse on the ground with lingering fear, and tremblingly walked in front of Ying Si.

"Sir, sir..." I don't know whether it was frightened or stuttered by Ge Er, the tall and thin guard trembled and begged for mercy desperately: "Sir, don't kill me..."

Shadow Four turned a deaf ear to the man's noise, quietly looking into his eyes.

Ying Qi watched anxiously at the end of the team, his mouth was dry, wondering if the whole army would be wiped out here today.

The tall and thin guard was stared at, his clothes soaked in cold sweat, suddenly, Ying Si raised his hand, the tall and thin guard suddenly pulled out the dagger in his sleeve and stabbed at Ying Si like a frightened bird.

Sure enough, he was too nervous and lost his position.

Ying Si was sitting upright, not moving. Suddenly, the tall and thin guard froze, and the dagger that had just touched Ying Si's chest stopped abruptly.

The thin and tall guard's eyes were tearing apart, his eyes were red and bloodshot, his stiff neck slowly twisted, and he lowered his head inch by inch, and saw the sharp claws protruding from his chest, the hook fingers carved with blood-colored maple leaves were shining, and the sharp tips were dripping with blood. .

Ying Wu suddenly withdrew his hand, holding the guard's still beating heart in his palm, squeezed it lightly, it burst into pieces, and threw his hand on the ground.

The thin and tall guard slowly fell in front of Ying Si.

Ying Wu wiped the blood on his hands, spat, and cursed: "*** old lady."

After cursing, he said impatiently to the dozen or so guards behind him: "See, it's because there are always such people making trouble, so we always work harder, trouble!"

The rest of the guards were terrified and in a mess. It seemed that they really wanted to kill all the guards.

Ying Si was indifferent, as if he didn't see the situation just now, and his voice was calm: "Next."

Ying Wu greeted them, with a few drops of blood splattered on the childish doll's face, seeing a few people in the queue behind who were so frightened that they peed their crotch, lay on the ground and vomited, and comforted them easily: "Silence, silence! Don't worry, my brother is a good judge of people, so you don't have to be afraid if you have no distracting thoughts in your heart, if you come to our Qi Palace to be an internal thief with your heart, don't blame us for being rude."

Ying Si really relied on a pair of eyes to see if they had evil thoughts in their hearts.

In this long and tormenting screening, no one knew what the standard of Shadow Four was. After one afternoon, there were only a few people left alive.

Those who were not strangled to death by Ying Si were paralyzed from fright, their legs and feet were weak, and they sat on the ground begging their grandpa to tell their grandma, not knowing what virtue they had accumulated in their previous lives.

In the end, only Shadow Seven remained.

Ying Qi bit her lip, tried to calm herself, and walked slowly in front of Ying Si.

"Sir." Ying Qi's voice was a little hoarse, with a lazy ending, which always made people feel as if he had just woken up.

Ying Si looked at him for a while, showing a slightly confused expression.

Suddenly, Ying Si raised his hand, and Ying Qi's heart trembled, thinking that he was going to be strangled to death, so he closed his eyes in resignation.

Shadow Four just took off his mask.

A handsome and fair youthful face was revealed.

Ying Si was a little irritable, and seemed to be talking to himself: "Why are children here to join in the fun?"

Ying Qi was stunned, opened his eyes, and retorted softly: "Sir, I am fourteen this year."

Ying Si said: "It's too small. Pack up your things and get out."

The guards who survived behind were envious. They would rather go out to beg than enter this incredible Shadow Palace. If Ying Si asked them to get out, they would definitely get out immediately, and they would have to kowtow to Ying Si before leaving.

Disliked by the head of the shadow guard for being young, Ying Qi frowned slightly, pointed at Ying Wu, and said flatly: "He is not older than me."

Ying Si raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "Don't compare yourself to him."

Yingwu is a recognized fighting genius, and he was only 14 years old when he came out of Yinggong with the first place.

Ying Wu almost burst out laughing from the side: "Hahahaha brother, are you comparing me? We're just going through the motions to make your prime minister look better. Do you really want to enter the Shadow Palace?"

Ying Qi asked: "Can I become a shadow guard after leaving the Shadow Palace?"

Ying Wu scratched his chin and thought for a while: "Yes. The premise is that you can come out alive."

Ying Qi said: "I can."

It was arranged until the evening, and Ying Qi received the token to enter the Shadow Palace as he wished.

When he was about to walk into the dark gate, he heard a boy's call from behind.

Ying Wu ran over, put his arms around Ying Qi's neck, pointed at the huge black door with a smile, and asked him, "Do you know what's inside?"

Shadow Seven shook his head.

Ying Wu asked again: "Do you have a little girl you like?"

Shadow Seven looked at him in confusion.

Ying Wu smiled, and whispered in his ear: "Actually, it's not difficult to get out of the Shadow Palace alive. If you don't want to become a heartless monster, just think of someone in your heart. The pain is so bad that you want to die, and you can't hold on." I'm thinking about him."

Patted him on the shoulder again to comfort him: "It will always work out, try."

Ying Qi was silent for a while, and asked with some uncertainty: "Can I be the shadow guard of Prince Qi's Mansion after I come out?"

Ying Wu raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise? We don't make wedding clothes for others."

Ying Qi's expression became much gentler, revealing the relaxed expression unique to young people.

In the slanting sun, Xia Fei was flying ten thousand points, and Ying Wu followed him into the gate of the Shadow Palace.

Ying Qi is like a silent statue, slowly walking into the bottomless abyss with Twilight on her back.

Ying Wu only felt sad for him for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, Ying Si pestered Ying Si to eat jelly on the street, and asked the proprietress to pour two spoonfuls of sesame sauce.

It's just that he didn't expect that he could really come out alive, become a ghost guard, and enter Qi Wang's mansion as he wished.

No one would know that the name Li Yuan became the only ray of light in Ying Qi's heart when he was on the verge of falling.
