Nasutu learned to be honest after being beaten for a while, and hid behind the pillar, he yelled: "I give up, I give up! You Central Plains people are really scoundrels, how can you win with more?"

Xiao Weixin sneered, raised his sword and stabbed: "You delivered it to the door yourself."

"Okay, okay." Nasutu held his head to show weakness, "I really want to make a deal with the prince. If you offend me, the prince should not care about people like me."

Nasutu is a person who is both upright and evil, and he has fully brought the four words "able to bend and stretch" to the extreme.When he begged for mercy, he seemed to be kneeling faster than anyone else, but he was unambiguous when he killed him in a blink of an eye.

As long as he can benefit, he can lower his posture if he asks for others. Such a person is not a big deal, who can?

You Shu looked at Xiao Weixin, the long sword in his hand was still pressed against Sutu's neck, just waiting for his words.

Of course, Xiao Weixin couldn't really kill Sutu, he was a proton after all, and it would be hard to explain to Xiao Weishen if he killed him.

He signaled You Shu to stop with his eyes, sat down and picked up the teacup again, and simply saw what Su Tu could say.You Shu put his sword back into its sheath, and stood behind Xiao Weixin in an instant, his figure was too fast to be seen by the naked eye.

Nasutu didn't learn to be greasy after being beaten, and took another big gulp while holding the teacup, and then said earnestly: "I haven't finished what I just said, you might as well listen to it first."

"Your emperor of the Central Plains heard that he was assassinated a while ago? Presumably someone as smart as your lord must have thought of it. It was all my brother's handwriting." He put down the cup and shrugged, with a helpless expression on his face: "How about the old man?" Now, Xirong is basically the head of the family."

"My brother's methods are more brutal than yours, the emperor of the Central Plains. If I hadn't been cleverly captured by you on purpose, I'm afraid I would be a pile of dead bones now."

Xiao Weixin glanced at him, and said coldly: "What does this have to do with me?"

"I thought the prince would cherish my heart." Na Sutu sighed hypocritically, "You are so ruthless."

You Shu complained a few words in his heart. With Su Tu's aggressive appearance, it's really useless to pretend to be hypocritical.

For some reason, Na Sutu just raised his eyes and glanced at him at this moment, with a half-smile in his eyes.

You Shu calmly looked away and did not meet his gaze.

Xiao Weixin only felt his hands start to itch again, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't stare at my people."

"Okay, okay." Sutu squinted his eyes and smiled, and suddenly turned cold and serious, and his face changed as fast as a neuropathy: "I know that the prince has many experts and a huge intelligence network, since I want to share with you Cooperation will naturally not let you suffer."

"I want to kill Brother Wang and seize the throne, but my own strength is not enough, otherwise I won't be driven to the Central Plains thousands of miles away."

"If the prince is willing to give me a helping hand, I will control the power of Xirong after the day is done. I will return the six cities that you took away back then with both hands. And I will lead the people back three hundred miles to the border. Invade the Great Xia border again."

His words were sonorous and powerful, and the promise he made was indeed very touching.More than ten years ago, the border between Xirong and Daxia fought once. At that time, the old emperor was still in power, and he was unable to save the defeat by going out in person. He almost died on the battlefield. After the defeat of the war, the border was occupied by the arrogant Xirong. Six cities slaughtered 3 people overnight, and General Yang was so angry that he vomited blood all over the place.

Later, those six cities became the pain in the hearts of all Daxia people. As long as a normal person with a little bit of blood will hate this matter, Old General Yang has been refusing to retire all these years. Six cities.

Of course, Xiao Weishen was not included in the scope of normal people, he didn't care about the life and death of the people in those six cities, and he didn't even think about taking them back.

After hearing his earnest words, Xiao Weixin finally restrained the sarcasm in his eyes, but his expression was still not good: "Proton's words are nice, but who knows that your Xirong side is the least trustworthy. If I really help you You, if you return to Xirong to become king in the future, and you tear up the agreement when you turn back, what can I do?"

"What's more, this kind of cooperation doesn't seem to be of much benefit to me. Sooner or later, I will be able to regain the lost border by myself."

The confidence on Xiao Weixin's face when he said this was not fake, he was different from his father and brother, and would never allow his city and people to fall into the hands of others!

Nasutu was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Indeed, I don't have anything to show the prince that I will not change my mind in the future, but..." He took out a dagger from his pocket, and the dagger was stuck to his body. It is covered with gold, and there is a cobblestone-sized emerald gem inlaid on the handle. It is gorgeous, luxurious and exquisite in workmanship. At first glance, it is not something that ordinary people can have.

"I can swear to the goddess Yuria."

In Xirong, people may not believe in King Khan, but they must not believe in Yuria, the goddess of light.They firmly believe that the Goddess of Light is their mother god, who protects the prosperity and well-being of all Xirong people from generation to generation. If someone does not believe in her, then he will definitely suffer the cruelest curse in the world and will never end well.

When they swear to the goddess Yuria, they usually have a set of strict rituals. The royal family will use a gold-encrusted knife to cut open the skin near the heart of their chest, and use the blood that flows out as a medium to offer sacrifices to the goddess Yuria. Loyalty, if the person who swears regrets it, he will be exiled by the Goddess of Light for life, and his soul will bear the brand of a treacherous person for life after life.

As long as the Xirong people who have never talked about credibility swear to the goddess Yuria, they will never break their promises.

But Xiao Weixin didn't feel that there was any guarantee. He never believed in any gods, and naturally he didn't think that a mere so-called God of Light could make the cunning Xirong people keep their promises: "It's a pity that your vows can't impress you." My king."

Nasutu knew that this person was not easy to fool, but he did not expect that he would actually refuse, "Why don't you think about it anymore?"

"I'm also powerful in the capital. If the prince helps me succeed, I will naturally turn around and assist the prince. This is a win-win situation for us, isn't it?"

Xiao Weixin sneered, and said disdainfully: "Without you, I can do the same thing, but sooner or later."

"If there is nothing else, the proton can leave first."

It would be embarrassing for others to be repeatedly rejected like this, but Su Tu stared at Xiao Weixin's face for a long time with eyes like a wild wolf, and suddenly laughed, showing no anger: "The prince is indeed Tougher than I imagined."

"Although this is the second time you have rejected me, I am not someone who gives up easily. Since the prince wants to see my sincerity, then I will give it enough."

Nasutu stood up from the chair, neatly put away his sword and turned around: "The prince is waiting for the good news."

After saying that, he left without looking back, just like when he came, he was in a hurry and unpredictable.

You Shu looked at his receding back, and secretly sighed that the second man's mind was equally complicated.

Xiao Weixin drank tea alone in the front hall, and suddenly opened his mouth to ask: "What do you think of this person?"

You Shu was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "Go back to the lord, my subordinate... I don't know how to answer this question."

"But he looks like he really wants to work with you."

Xiao Weixin rested his chin on one hand and didn't know what he was thinking, "Of course I know he wants to ask for cooperation, otherwise he wouldn't come to the door again and again."

"But he must still have his hole cards. This person is extremely secretive and extremely moody. I'm afraid he will suffer a loss if he rashly accepts what he handed over."

You Shu hesitated for a while, then asked again: "Will the prince agree to cooperate with him?"

"What do you think?" Xiao Weixin would never discuss these matters with him before, but somehow he opened his mouth this time, without taking him outsiders at all, and asked very naturally, "Since Xie Feiyuan intends to let you take over in the future, It’s good to be involved in some things.”

You Shu carefully analyzed this sentence, and his heart was filled with joy, this... This is definitely meant to train him to be a confidant!

He's really about to get promoted and raise his salary!

"The subordinates feel that if they can join forces with Proton, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. It's just that this person's temperament is uncertain and it's really hard to control. If the prince cooperates with him, he must be fully prepared."

Xiao Weixin chuckled, "So, you want me to cooperate with him?"

"The subordinates dare not interfere with the prince's mind." You Shu replied, he knew the follow-up plot, so he dared to guarantee that the second male lead would not be able to make waves in the future.

Xiao Weixin smiled for a while, played with the jade pendant on his waist, and said: "Before Su Tu's hole card is revealed, this king will not believe him so easily. This is my territory, and I will let him live as soon as he is born." , want him to die...but it's just a matter of one sentence."

"If you can use one or two, it's not a bad thing."

You Shu secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Xiao Weixin finished this topic, and suddenly patted the chair beside him and said softly, "Sit."

Even though it was against the rules, You Shu sat down obediently, but he only dared to sit on half of his buttocks, and the other half was hanging outside the chair, trying to be as careful as possible, breathing lightly.

Seeing his hopeless appearance, Xiao Weixin chuckled lightly: "Are you afraid of me?"

"This subordinate is the prince's shadow guard, so he is naturally afraid." You Shu lowered his head and did not dare to look up.

Xiao Weixin rubbed his chin and stared at his side face for a while, the spring light from outside came in from the front of the front hall, just on the face of the little shadow guard, and from his angle, he could vaguely see the fine golden fluff, which seemed He's kind of cute.

"Don't be so cautious, this king is just in a good mood and wants to talk to someone."

You Shu nodded, and asked obediently: "What does the lord want to talk about?"

Xiao Weixin pretended to be contemplative, and said, "For example... what's your name?"

"Ah?" You Shu couldn't help turning his head to look at him, with a blank expression on his face: "My subordinate's name is Ying San, and the prince has already asked about it before."

The corners of Xiao Weixin's lips curled slightly, and a sly look appeared in his eyes: "No, that's not what I asked."

"You didn't join Xie Feiyuan's school until you were six years old. Before that—you should have your own name, right?"

There was a bang in You Shu's mind.

In the 15 years since he came to this world, no one has ever asked him this question.From the day Master Yingshou brought him back, he told him that no matter what he used to be called, it doesn't matter anymore. When he arrived at the Shadow Guard Camp, all his identities would be invalidated, and they could only live under their code names.As for the things under the code name, there is no need to ask, needless to say, and no one cares.

Therefore, these shadow guards never ask each other about these intimate matters, and they seldom know each other's real names. Although You Shu knows the real names of several other shadow guards, no one knows his.

Unexpectedly, after 15 years, it was actually Xiao Weixin who asked first.

You Shu's throat was a little tight, and he had mixed feelings at the moment.

"My lord, must my subordinates answer this question?"

"Yeah." Xiao Weixin nodded, and said seriously: "I asked, so you have to answer."

"Don't lie to me."

There were some turmoil in You Shu's eyes, and he calmed down only for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "My subordinate is You Shu."

"How to write it?" Xiao Weixin continued to ask curiously.

"You Hong travels in the wild, the clouds roll and the clouds relax."

His father named him back then and looked through the idiom dictionary for several days. He insisted that the name was high-quality, but when he took it out and looked at it today, it was indeed high-quality.

It's better than Yingwu actually called Ergouzi.

Xiao Weixin dipped his hand into the teacup, then wrote the word 'You Shu' seriously on the table, raised his head and asked him, "Is that so?"

You Shu looked down, the two words on the table were clear and beautiful, and he could clearly see every stroke.

I haven't seen these two characters for many years, and it's like a dream to see them written out in a fair manner after so many years.

"You Shu... You Shu..." Xiao Weixin murmured these two words repeatedly in a low voice, as if he had chewed these two words and melted them in his mouth. When he said these two words, there was something special about him. tenderness.

"Xiao Shu."

"Good name."

Xiao Weixin raised his head, facing the light and smiled gently at You Shu.

It's not that You Shu has never seen Xiao Weixin smile, indifferently and sarcastically lost, but it's the first time he saw him being so gentle to him, with some light in his eyes, just looking at him with a smile, focused and soft.

At such a close distance, he could almost feel his breath hitting his face softly.

You Shu suddenly felt as if he was immersed in that smile, and he could even feel his heart skip a beat.
