daily routine

Zhu Xuan is a shadow guard. He is an orphan who was abandoned when he was born. As long as he can remember, he has been trained by the dead warriors of the holy temple. His life is only for obeying orders.He never even thought about what it would be like to lose his order in his life.

Moreover, the poison that Shengmiao put on all the shadow guards did not allow him to disobey the order.

So he can only entertain himself from the task, at least, the task he accepts now can be regarded as quite comfortable, he only needs to monitor a scholar who cannot walk an inch and is trapped in the pavilion every day.

Zhu Xuan lay on a tree with a suitable distance and excellent hiding place, looking at the white-clothed scholar in the window of the pavilion.Although he is just a humble shadow guard, he also has his own criteria for appreciating things.He was illiterate, because all the shadow guards of the holy temple were not allowed to read, for fear that they would leak some secrets.

So Zhu Xuan didn't understand Fengya, but he kept watching the scholar, but he felt that this person was the most beautiful and comfortable person he had ever seen.He is even more beautiful than the high priest, because he doesn't have the terrible aura of the high priest, nor the viciousness of the high priest. No matter who he speaks to, he is always so polite.So Zhu Xuan thought that getting along with this kind of person must be quite comfortable.

It might be a very pleasant thing to have a conversation with him.

But he couldn't, he was just a shadow guard sent to protect the scholar.His life is like a moth, ready to catch fire at any time.

He just lives to live.

Even all the shadow guards in the holy temple will be killed after the age of 30 to prevent leakage of secrets.Knowing this, he is even insensitive.

Sometimes, there is no difference between being alive and dead.

At this moment, he was just looking at the white-clothed scholar, writing down everything about him and preparing to report it to the high priest.

The scholar is very weak, disabled half of his body, unable to move, he needs to drink medicine to hang himself every day, a small wind and cold can kill him, but everyone respects him, even the prince He is respectful.

Perhaps, he has that kind of quiet power that makes people surrender.If this person is his master, maybe his shadow guard career will have another experience.

Zhu Xuan couldn't help thinking.

The sun is about to set, and the night is more suitable for him to hide.

Zhu Xuan turned over and saw that the scholar turned the wheelchair, came to the desk and put forward a pen, as if he was painting.

That man is a talented man. His paintings must be extremely exquisite paintings, right?Zhu Xuan couldn't help thinking.In short, in his eyes, the white-clothed scholar was good in every way, but God might be jealous of his talent, so he didn't reward him with a good body.

He gnawed on the dry food and watched the man draw, but he also found it pleasing to the eye, which added a little fun to the boring surveillance task.

Unexpectedly, after the scholar finished the painting, he even ordered the servant boy beside him to hang the painting on the window, with the picture facing outside, Zhu Xuan took a look, and almost fell off the tree.

Because what was depicted in the painting turned out to be a tree, a tree that was exactly the same as the tree he was lying on at the moment!The strangest thing is that at the bottom of the picture is a bowl of rice.

Zhu Xuan's eyes widened - it's no wonder that the prince, princess, maid of honor, and eunuch have all been obedient to this disabled scholar these past few days, he is really...

God! !

He actually knew that he was hiding here!Still eating!

Zhu Xuan thought for a while, and suddenly made a decision, a decision he had never thought about in his life.

That is to disobey his order a little bit, because he couldn't restrain his inner curiosity at the moment. He observed the scholar for several days, and he became more and more curious and fascinated by the scholar every day, and was attracted by the scholar every day, so ——

Even his career as a shadow guard ended at the age of 24.

Then he also wants to talk to this scholar in person.

I want to ask him how he is aware of his existence, because he, Zhu Xuan, is the most elite shadow guard in the holy temple!It is absolutely impossible to be discovered!

----------------

on the other hand.

Yin Zheng finally walked out of the holy temple. He was dressed in black so that he could hide his whereabouts in the dark.

He has a mission tonight, which is to go to Da Nei to steal Xinlan.

Regarding the fact that Su Xuan has been poisoned, he is skeptical, but he knows that there is someone in the world who might be able to save Su Xuan.So he took a detour along the way and knocked on the door of Dr. Lin's clinic, only to find that the door was closed and there was a notice pasted outside the door, saying that the owner was away due to something.

In the nearest capital city, because the major religious sects like to fight at night, every household dare not open the door at night, and the streets are quiet.Yin Zheng couldn't knock on the door, so he sighed and turned to leave.

In his eyes, only the imperial palace full of pavilions seems to hide the most terrifying monsters and conspiracies in the world.

He laughed at himself, he, a policeman on the street, would be involved in the troubles of such a big man, he really had to thank Su Xuan.

If on that day, I hadn't felt compassion for Su Xuan and let him live and die, maybe I wouldn't have experienced all the ups and downs that followed.

Now, there is only one step to go.

It's just going out at this step, I don't know when I can eat dumplings with Su Xuan as before, carefree.

Perhaps, like him, there are many, many people who have fallen into the vortex called "Su Xuan" because of a little obsession.

Su Xuan, this name is the biggest unsolved mystery bestowed by heaven on earth.

.

.

"So, how did you discover my existence? Could it be that you actually possess extraordinary martial arts, so you noticed my movements?" Zhu Xuan, who came in from the window, sat at the dining table and asked Su Xuan, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

Su Xuan smiled and beckoned him to drink tea, and ordered Xiaohu to bring the cakes and supper that had been prepared.

As for why there was an extra voice in Su Xuan's room, the attendant outside the door did not dare to ask, because the crown prince had ordered that Mr. Su decide everything by himself and not disturb him in doing anything.

"I'm currently working as an aide in the Prince's East Palace. The princess knows about it, so it's not surprising that other people know about it." Su Xuan said, "Nowadays, power struggles are intertwined, so there must be some forces with ulterior motives. Come and watch me. I have observed the surrounding terrain, and the only place where I can watch me without being discovered is the tree you like—the life of the shadow guard is probably poor, so I drew a bowl of rice, please Chevaliers come in for dinner."

"You...you don't need to call me a knight, I'm just a shadow guard." Zhu Xuan said while looking down at the delicate dishes.Even though he had undergone arduous willpower training, but he was hungry, he could not help swallowing calmly.

"Then I don't know how to address you. These meals are poisonous or not. You are an expert and can tell at a glance, so do it yourself." Su Xuan smiled.

"You are the first person to invite me to dinner, the first one." Zhu Xuan didn't know what kind of medicine he sold in his gourd, but these meals were obviously non-toxic, so what if they ate them?Zhu Xuan couldn't help but hold the chopsticks.

Maybe, there is poison on the utensils, maybe, I will become the first shadow guard who is invited to eat and poisoned to death.

However, he has already started eating.

Without a doubt, it was the best meal he had ever had, in every sense of the word, the best meal.He is a shadow guard, and he doesn't pay much attention to it, so he eats hungrily.

"Can you do something for me?" Su Xuan said suddenly when he was eating the happiest.

Zhu Xuan almost choked, and asked, "What do you want me to do? I'm just a shadow guard, and I only follow orders."

"I already guessed what your mission order is." Su Xuan looked at him with her hand on her cheek, "the order didn't say that you are not allowed to come to my place for dinner, nor did it say that you are not allowed to go back Save your master—the High Priest of the Heavenly Master."

"Are you asking for dried shrimps?" Zhu Xuan asked in surprise with food still in his mouth.

"Your master is dying, won't you, the shadow guard, go rescue him?"

"How do I know if you're lying to me to leave! You!" Zhu Xuan swallowed his food hastily.

"The praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind. Tonight is a crucial night. The high priest will lay out all kinds of schemes. Similarly, others will also lay down various schemes to get him. You must know that there are people. Believe me or not, it depends on your own choice." , you watch me, I am also a cripple, I can't leave here, and the crown prince also sent masters to protect me.

If you don't leave, the high priest will die, and no one will give you an antidote, and you will die too.Don't ask me why I know this, because most of you professional shadow guards are controlled by drugs, am I right?Think for yourself. "

Su Xuan spoke clearly and logically.

Zhu Xuan thought for a moment, and couldn't help clenching his fists.

"You are still hesitating. You have been taught to be afraid since you were a child. Let me make a deal with you. Once you complete my entrustment, I can give you something." Su Xuan said.

"I will not be tempted by any temptation! This is the rule of the Shadow Guard!" Zhu Xuan said.

"Ha, this is not temptation, it's a deal, it's a bet on your courage and courage as a man." Su Xuan sat up straight, looked directly at him and said, "The gift I give you is freedom."

Zhu Xuan stood up suddenly in shock, knocking over the stool behind him.

"I can undo the control poison on your body and give you freedom. Do you dare to bet?" Su Xuan said, "Anyway, the shadow guard can only live to be 30 years old. If you don't bet, you will die a few years later. You bet, Life is free, the sea and the sky are broad, and life is in your hands."

Zhu Xuan's eyes fluctuated.

After a while, he suddenly said firmly:

"I bet!!"

"Then thank you chivalrous man, bring me a message to the high priest." Su Xuan handed him a letter.

After Zhu Xuan jumped out of the window and left, Xiaohu finally couldn't help asking: "Master, why are you so sure that this powerful shadow guard will be instigated by you?"

Su Xuan said: "It's very simple, the high priest is eager to win, and after learning everything Yin Zheng told him about me, he will list me as the most dangerous target.

Therefore, they will definitely send the most elite shadow guards to monitor me, but they will not kill me, because they all think that they can use my layout.

Since they are the most elite shadow guards with the highest rankings, those who can achieve this level must have quite a competitive and enterprising spirit. Such people, in their bones, will not wait for death with peace of mind.As long as they grasp what they really want in their hearts, they are the easiest companions to win over.

Tonight, I want the rich and powerful in the world to know me, Su Xuan! "
