From Shadowguard to Queen [Transmigration Book]

62

At the end of May, the weather in the capital was already very hot. Although it was just the beginning of summer, it was hotter earlier than in previous years.

This time of the year is also the worst time for shadow guards. They have rough skin, thick flesh, super cold resistance, and internal strength to protect their bodies. They are still alive and kicking after squatting in the snow for a whole day, but it is the scorching sun in the summer. It will not be easy.

In the past, You Shu used to hide with his brothers in the shady trees and bushes to enjoy the coolness. It was often so hot that he wanted to lie on the ice to cool off. Ancient ice was very precious, and most people couldn't afford it, let alone them shadow guards. , I can only hope that the canteen will occasionally shave some crushed ice to satisfy my hunger.

But this year is different, Xiao Weixin is not willing to let You Shu suffer under the scorching sun again, so he is simply detained in the house and not allowed to go anywhere.You Shu is sitting comfortably at the desk right now, with a bowl of iced watermelon in front of him, and there are big bowls of ice cubes in the four corners to cool off the heat. The room is as cool as autumn, no worse than the air conditioner.

People like to enjoy themselves, and You Shu is no exception.But he still felt guilty after all. His brothers were squatting and suffering under a tree not far away, while he was enjoying himself in the house. Thinking about it, he felt guilty.

"Don't you like it?" Xiao Weixin wondered, the watermelons served up this year were sweeter than previous years, why Xiao Shu was absent-minded.

You Shu held the watermelon in his hands, and the refreshing coolness from under the skin of the melon penetrated into his heart. He raised his eyes to look at Xiao Weixin, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just worried about those brothers." It’s the same identity, I am enjoying myself here, and let them bask outside, I feel a little ashamed.”

"What's the matter?" Xiao Weixin frowned, "Sooner or later, you will come to my side, and your status is completely different from them. In the future, you will be a serious master. How can a master feel sorry for his servants?"

You Shu opened his mouth, wanting to say that your thinking is wrong, but this is ancient times, even though Xiao Weixin treats him differently, there are limitations of the times, if you talk to him about respect for equality, he will probably feel that he is There is a hole in the brain.

"Everyone is human, and it's normal to be considerate of each other." You Shu bit the melon and said softly, "If I hadn't been lucky enough to be caught by the prince, I would be nothing more than a servant in the eyes of the prince, who is not worth mentioning after death. "

Xiao Weixin was stunned for a while, then subconsciously said: "How can you be the same as them?"

"What's different?" You Shu finished eating a piece of melon in three mouthfuls and sighed, "I'm also a shadow guard."

Theoretically speaking, it takes a lot of time, energy and money to train a shadow guard, which is definitely several times that of ordinary servants. However, the reason why the status of shadow guards is low is mainly because their purpose of training is to be shady.

High-ranking officials and nobles sometimes reward and punish their own servants and servants. When they are in a good mood, they may be released from their humble status to be appreciated and reused, but few masters are willing to let the shadow guards go free.He would rather kill them than let them go. After all, the Shadow Guard has too much information in his hands. Who knows if he will betray the former owner in the future.

You Shuda felt wronged for them in his heart, and he secretly thought that if he could really do a great job and regain his freedom in the future, he would go back and do something for those colleagues who were still in the dark.

Seeing the melancholy in his eyebrows, Xiao Weixin probably knew what he was thinking: "Back then, Xie Feiyuan founded the Shadow Guard Camp to protect my mother and concubine. He was the boss of the former No. It’s no problem to train newcomers from the door.”

"If you really can't let go, I can assure you that I will return them a free life after I am done."

You Shu suddenly looked up at him, his eyes trembling and unbelievable.This is already a great kindness for a superior, especially Xiao Weixin is a sensitive and cautious person, allowing him to say this sentence shows that he really wants to please him.

There was a hint of a smile in Xiao Weixin's eyes, "After I ascend the throne, there is no need for the Shadow Guard Battalion to exist anymore. It doesn't matter whether they are killed or kept. If I kill them as soon as I ascend the throne, it will appear that I am ruthless and merciless. More What's more, Xie Feiyuan doesn't say anything, but he still cares about you in his heart."

You Shu's mood was wide open, and suddenly he really had hope in life. He restrained himself from showing a broken expression, but he still couldn't hide the smile on his lips: "My lord, you must take this seriously, and you must not break your promise!"

"Of course." Xiao Weixin chuckled, "I never lie to you."

When You Shu was in a good mood, he immediately had an appetizer, and he swept away the remaining half of the watermelon.

Ying Wu, who was squatting under a tree not far from the house, sighed: "This is fate! Look, we are both human, and the third child will be favored by the prince, and we can only eat here in the hot room." like a dead dog."

"Ugh."

Ying Si swayed Erlang's legs with grass in his mouth, and asked with a smile: "If you have the good appearance of the third child, you can enjoy yourself."

"I'm not bad either." Ying Wu scratched his head, "In terms of appearance in our camp, the youngest is the first, and I'm the second. Is there any objection?"

"Bah!" Ying Si rolled his eyes, "You're a fart, even Xiao Shi is more handsome than you!"

Ying Wu snorted, thought for a while, and said: "Do you think that our lord is serious about the third child? I haven't seen him treat anyone so preferentially. The tonics in Miss Huachun's hand, Sending the third child into the house like running water, stuffing it in the belly, that's worth a thousand gold!"

Ying Si thought for a while, and said quite agreeingly, "Could it be that the crow's mouth of the old man really appeared?"

"Don't mention that bastard." Ying Wu raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his brow, squinted his eyes to look at the sun, "Speaking of which, it's been more than a month since Lao Ba has been gone, why hasn't there been any movement?"

"Who knows." Ying Si was absent-minded, "There is a rebellion in Huzhou, maybe they are trapped there."

The two chatted one after another, and soon the sun gradually set to the west.

The two people in the study were having tea, and Wang Chen hurried over, "My lord, Li Liang really made a move!"

Xiao Weixin nodded slightly, and exchanged tacit glances with You Shu.

That night Xiao Weixin asked You Shu to watch over there.

You Shushou waited for three hours near the house outside the city, until the tip of the willows on the moon, there was a faint sound coming from the house.Accompanied by the "squeak" of the door opening, You Shu relied on his 2.5 good eyesight to see Li Liang, that old thief flashing by.

He didn't come out of his hiding place until the door was closed again, and followed silently.

He had been to that house once before, and he could basically remember the passing by, so he found the study room with candles easily.There were a few guards outside the study, You Shu didn't dare to step forward rashly, and hid in the tree to continue watching.

Sure enough, another person walked quickly from the outside, through the moonlight he saw clearly that the person was dressed in the service of the Central Plains, but the footsteps were rough and heavy, it sounded like a person who was good at using brute force, not like the walking habits of the Central Plains people.

The guard at the gate only nodded to him before letting him go. You Shu pondered for a while, then picked up a broken branch from the tree and threw it out.When the guards heard the noise, they thought someone was breaking in, so they hurried over to investigate. Just at this time, the moonlight was covered by a gust of dark clouds blown by a gust of wind. You Shu took advantage of the gap of a few seconds to take the risk and touched the roof from the corner.

There was no one on the top, You Shu carefully lifted a small piece of tile and leaned over to listen. Through the little gap in the tile, he saw that the man from Xirong handed Li Liang a piece of parchment, and Li Liang also took out a piece of parchment from his sleeve. The envelope was handed over, and the two seemed to be exchanging some token, without much verbal exchange.

From the top, You Shu heard the Xirong man say "wait for the good news from King Khan" in blunt Chinese, and then strode out of the study, in the same hurry as when he came, Li Liang stuffed the letter into the room. I waited another half an hour for my own underwear before carefully leaving.

When he got into the carriage again, You Shu followed to the deserted wilderness, stuck the wheels of the carriage with the traps he made in advance, and then neatly stunned all his guards, lifted the curtain and left in a huff go in.

Li Liang suddenly raised his head and saw a terrifying masked man in black standing in front of him. Before he could shout out, he was kicked unconscious by You Shu. You Shu stepped forward and took out the parchment hidden in his underwear, and He tied up Li Liang again, and drove his carriage all the way to the palace.

The carriage returned to the Palace of the Mausoleum before dawn, You Shu confirmed that no one was following him, and then entered through the back door of the Palace.

Slipping Li Liangti into the study, Xiao Weixin took the parchment and looked at it under the lamp for a while, You Shu unceremoniously stepped forward to slap Li Liang who had passed out, and said in a cold voice: "I'm not awake yet. Come?"

Li Liang opened his eyes tremblingly and found that the person in front of him was King Ling, he was stunned for a moment, he never imagined that he was already cautious enough, but he still leaked the news.

"It seems that you have not received the attention of the new King Khan." Xiao Weixin sneered, "What he wrote on it is all perfunctory empty words, and I am afraid that none of the benefits promised to you will be fulfilled by then. .”

"I really want to know that you secretly contacted Xirong and betrayed that old thief Xia Maoan, does he know?"

Li Liang's face turned pale all of a sudden, he didn't care to understand why King Ling appeared in front of him, he shook his body and begged: "Please forgive me, please don't reveal this matter to the Prime Minister!"

"The next official, the next official is just confused for a while."

Although it is a brother-in-law relationship, Li Liang has been peaceful and obedient for so many years and Xia Maoan uses it as a shield, but who doesn't want to stand out after a long time?Li Liang is a hypocritical and good-looking person, and usually pretends to be a breeze, but in fact, he is more greedy than Xia Maoan in his bones. He can't wait to replace him as the most powerful person in the entire capital.

But he had no background support, nor did he have that sharp brain. Xirong successfully lured him into the bait with only a little bit of tricks. King Khan promised him that as long as he was willing to cooperate, he would be allowed to be a prime minister in the future. .

Although Li Liang also knew that this might be a trap, but he wanted to overwhelm Xia Mao'an too much, and was dizzy by the beauty sent by Xirong, so he surrendered not long after, which can be described as extremely stupid.

Although Xia Maoan also colluded with Xirong, he certainly didn't know that Li Liang had crossed him privately and had contacts with Xirong.

From this point of view, the new King Khan was really ambitious and had a good plan, and both sides were fooled at the same time, but Li Liang was much stupider than Xia Maoan, and he was caught because of loopholes in his actions.

Xiao Weixin smiled slightly, with some coolness in his eyes, and said sarcastically: "Master Li usually looks upright, so he is also an ordinary person with seven emotions and six desires. This king really thinks that you have a cool heart and don't care about world affairs."

Li Liang was sweating coldly.

Xiao Weixin snorted, and said again: "But don't worry, since this king specially invited you late at night, naturally he won't tell the prime minister about it."

Li Liang shivered for a while, but he didn't look happy. He knew that there must be a sequel to this matter.

Sure enough, Xiao Weixin said again: "Since you can cooperate with Xirong, there is no reason to refuse me, is there?"

Li Liang raised his head suddenly, "What does the prince mean?"

Xiao Weixin smiled softly: "This king is not interested in your dealings, and I am not interested in whether you become prime minister or not. This king only wants to get rid of Xia Maoan. From this point of view, don't we have the same goal? Come on If I avenge myself, Master Li can also get what he wants, the best of both worlds."

Li Liang was not sure if this man was telling the truth, he had never paid attention to a weak and idle prince, but right now he really couldn't see through Prince Ling, and couldn't tell what was going on in his mind.

Seeing his hesitation, You Shu stepped forward and pulled out the dagger from his waist and put it on his neck, "Your Excellency, you'd better think carefully before speaking, swords have no eyes."

Li Liang's neck was icy cold, the blade was about to cut his skin, and when he raised his eyes, he saw an unpredictable smile on King Ling's face.After thinking about it for a long time in his heart, if he doesn't agree, he will die right now, if he agrees, he might be betrayed by him all the time, the only blame is that he acted a little impulsively this time, he was dazzled by the benefits in front of him, and let others catch him in vain.

After much deliberation, he finally agreed without hesitation, and the most important thing right now is to survive.

You Shu spit secretly, since ancient times, this kind of soft bones are the most despised, they have no character at all, and they still think they are literati, they are not even cannon fodder.
