The world's number one shadow guard

Mo Xiaoqi is a shadow guard.

He lived on the streets when he was a child. When he was eight years old, he was spotted by human traffickers. He was dragged to sell in the slave market, and finally bought by people from Qingjiabao.

From that moment on, Mo Xiaoqi was destined to become a shadow guard.Although he is thin and thin compared to other children, he still believes that he will become a top shadow guard.

If he can't stand out, then he must follow behind the best!

Qingjiabao is one of the biggest forces in Jianghu, and there are as many shadow guards in Qingjiabao as crucian carp crossing the river. If you want to get ahead in this industry, you must have extraordinary perseverance and talent!

So Mo Xiaoqi practiced martial arts desperately. He was more diligent than anyone else. However, ten years later, he was still in the ranks of backup shadow guards. The young masters of the castle picked him away, and he was so jealous!

He wants to be the most powerful shadow guard of the most powerful young master! !

But every time Mo Xiaoqi swears such a heavy oath, his wishes come true again and again.Could it be because of his body and appearance? !He looked at his own reflection in the well water, he was the same as others, with one nose, two nostrils, one mouth and one pair of eyes, no difference!

Why not choose him as an official shadow guard? !

But in the eyes of others, Mo Xiaoqi is as immature as a 16-year-old boy, with a petite figure and a fragile appearance. He has a cute baby face and big misty eyes. When he is angry, his expression looks like he is acting like a baby. .If it wasn't for someone's instructions, let the head of the shadow guard interfere, I'm afraid Mo Xiaoqi would have been eaten as a delicious "meal" instead of the shadow guard by other wolf-like young masters of the Qing family!

But no one can see how fanatical and persistent Mo Xiaoqi, an unusual young man, is about being a shadow guard.This may have something to do with Cao Jianwei who taught him martial arts back then. Cao Jianwei used to be Qingjiabao, no, it can even be said that the entire martial arts world is very famous as a top shadow guard. About his heroic and loyal deeds of protecting the lord can't be finished for three days and three nights. In the shadow guard circle, Cao Jianwei is synonymous with mythology.

And this powerful man with the titles of Dream Shadow Guard and Shadow Guard God is Mo Xiaoqi's entry-level master. In Mo Xiaoqi's memory, Master Cao is so gentle and amiable, so superb in martial arts, so chic and calm, he His career is the most sacred career in the world, because of Master Cao's influence, Mo Xiaoqi is determined to become a character like him!He is the only disciple of Master Cao, so he wants to inherit Master Cao's mantle and become the greatest shadow guard to pay homage to Master Cao's spirit in heaven! !

That's right, Master Cao is a deceased person.

Although when Master Cao was alive, he always advised Xiao Qi not to join the bloody and life-threatening profession of shadow guard, but how could Xiao Qi listen to it? Anyway, his life was given by Qingjiabao. Become the best shadow guard in Qingjiabao!

Master Cao has passed away for a year, but Xiaoqi still hasn't realized his dream.

The backup shadow guards all live in several large courtyards connected together. In addition to practicing kung fu on weekdays, they occasionally chat their teeth and tell various anecdotes about the masters.

Although talking about the master behind the scenes is a treasonous thing for the shadow guards, but these people are not official shadow guards, and they don't know who the master will be with in the future, so they have nothing to do and chat behind closed doors.

Qingjiabao is different from other martial arts giants. The shadow guards in Qingjiabao are treated well. Although like all shadow guards, they need to protect their master with their lives and swear to be loyal to the death, but the way Qingjiabao trains shadow guards is not like training. Dead warriors seem to be recruiting disciples.This set of rules was reformed by Cao Jianwei back then, and was continued after the support of the fifth son of the Qing family.

There is an assessment for each level, and if you fail the assessment, you just take the money and leave, and learn a whole lot of skills, why not do it?So many people come here to practice martial arts.Of course, these weak-willed people will be eliminated in the end, and those who remain must be elites who have passed the test of willpower.

What Mo Xiaoqi should be proud of is that he is the top among the alternate shadow guards, as long as he waits for the master to choose him, he can be directly promoted to the official shadow guard with super good salary!It's different from those low-level candidates who haven't passed the exam for many years!

So every time he joins this kind of gossip gathering, Mo Xiaoqi has to sit in the middle position—why is he Cao Jianwei's apprentice, or is he the one with the best grades among the candidates?In the circle of shadow guards, Cao Jianwei is a legend, an undefeated legend.The great Cao Yingwei only had one apprentice, and that was the glorious Mo Xiaoqi!

Whenever he thinks of this, Xiao Qi will be very proud, although he automatically ignores the questioning eyes of other people - "Since you are so good, why didn't you become an official shadow guard".

However, who told Mo Xiaoqi that there was someone above him—I heard that the reason why Mo Xiaoqi was selected as Cao Jianwei’s only apprentice was that a certain big shot secretly manipulated it, and Mo Xiaoqi’s backstage was that big shot and so on—everyone else Such a discussion.

It's not that Mo Xiaoqi is ignorant of these discussions, he is very angry, he obviously relied on his talent and hard work to be favored by Master Cao, how did he become the one who went through the back door when he got into the mouths of these people? !He refuses to accept it!So he once grabbed a guy who spread rumors about himself and asked him: "Tell me! Who is my backstage?!"

The man said to him unconvinced: "No, isn't it the fifth young master... Huh! What's so great about you! Isn't it just that the lame five has taken a fancy to him!"

"What!?" Mo Xiaoqi got angry all of a sudden, and beat up that rumored spirit.

Everyone knows that Mo Xiaoqi's heart is higher than the sky, and if he wants to follow, he must follow the strongest master, but these guys actually said that he was favored by the most useless fifth young master in Qingjiabao! !If the other masters really heard it, he, Mo Xiaoqi, would never even think about turning over in his life! !Following that lame fifth child is equivalent to going to retire early! !

So Mo Xiaoqi sulked for a while, and whoever dares to say that he belongs to the Fifth Young Master in the future, he will beat each other.

In other words, tonight's chatting tea party seems to be starting again.In this compound, the most capable player at present, Mo Xiaoqi, also occupies the best position, sitting on the bench against the big locust tree, with his legs crossed, waiting for him. The chef, Uncle Wang, gave a lecture.

Uncle Wang is a very professional talker. In order to make his talk more regular, he compiled a book and talked every day according to the chapters in the book. He has been talking in this book for many years, many times. Revisions, deletions, and additions, that is to say, Uncle Wang has reached the level of lectures at the level of university professors in later generations.

"Tonight, we're going to talk about the young masters of the Qing family, er, to be precise, the allusions of the eldest master—fifth master. The sixth—ninth masters will talk tomorrow, the tenth—thirteenth masters will talk the day after tomorrow, and the eldest will have a day off the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is the allusion of the female family of the Qing family..." Uncle Wang opened his notebook, and first read out the schedule, "Okay, let's call the roll."

As a result, the shadow guard candidates who were full in the courtyard all showed == expressions.

Damn old man!When did you develop such a nasty habit!What name!Do you think you are the master! ?

Uncle Wang didn't care at all, instead he took out another notebook slowly, and said according to the roster: "I'll pick and roll the roll, and the ones who get it will answer."

Uncle Wang, you definitely look like a professor!

God is jealous of talents, you are actually a cook!

----

On a cool moonlit night, the courtyard was full of young people who were idle and bored, listening to the elders talking about various gossip topics that were enough to pass the time—about the masters of Qingjiabao.

It is said that Qingjiabao is a family with a long history. No one knows how many generations have passed. The current Qingjiabao's financial resources and power are rare in the world. It is the absolute heaven, the absolute authority, which cannot be betrayed until death.

That is the most basic ethics of being a shadow guard - loyalty!

Once someone betrays, he will be subjected to the most terrible torture in the world!

"Uncle Wang, don't be foolish, let's start telling the story of the young master!" Someone reminded below, "We have heard enough from the instructors about the rules of the shadow guards during the day!"

boom------

The talkative person was blown away by Uncle Wang with a large spoon and enough energy to blow him out—I think back then, Uncle Wang was also a top shadow guard, but when he got older, he retired to the second line and became a cook. It is said that he has worked with three generations of masters ! !

Don't underestimate Uncle Wang, don't interrupt Uncle Wang's talk!Don't leave the stage on the way of Uncle Wang's talk! !This is a taboo in the compound!

"Even if it is said 1000 million times, it is not an exaggeration, it is the Iron and Blood Law of the Shadow Guard! You young people can hardly imagine, what a period of passion it was! Share life and death with the master! The enthusiasm of sharing weal and woe! The master and the shadow guard are the most An unbreakable bond! Master and servant! A friend who shares weal and woe! A man's great loyalty!! Oh oh oh oh oh!" Uncle Wang's eyes flashed with blood, but immediately, his expression sank, "It's a pity that now The young masters of the younger generation are all selfish and ruthless. They only know how to put on airs and use the shadow guards as tools to kill them. They have already broken the loyalty oath made by our shadow guards and masters... Sigh... ..."

Oh oh oh oh!The people below were talking a lot-this guy actually used the inexplicable word "family"!By the way, what kind of great loyalty oath is it a magic horse? !

Among all the people, only Mo Xiaoqi showed a look of longing on his face——that's right!The passion among men!The great loyalty of life and death between men and men!That is the highest state of shadow guards! !Uncle Wang!You are the old prophet of the Shadow Guard clan! ! ! [By the way, the word family is used again]
