A Faithful Dog's Secret Guard

Eight years ago.

The dungeon in Jiang's mansion was deathly silent in the night. A masked man walked to the door of the dungeon, took out his waist card, waved it in front of the guards, and said, "Ask me a few words by the young master's order."

The guards didn't see the words on the waist card at all, but seeing that the waist card was all black and engraved with cinnabar on it, they knew that the person who came was the young master Jiang Lianzhi's personal secret guards, and these secret guards were all trained by the Jiang family. Judging from the stature of the person in front of him who is still a young boy, he must have followed the young master since he was a child and has an extraordinary status.

When carrying out the master's orders, the personal guards often don't show their true colors to others, and often wear masks. The guards do not suspect that there is a fake, bow down and let him in.

Walking along the dark aisle of the dungeon, the torches on both sides sometimes burned and beeped lightly, making the silence even more eerie. Jiang Yao appeared calm and composed, but his heart was beating wildly, and his hands were soaked in sweat.

When we arrived at the open space in the middle of the dungeon, there was still an iron cage, and a few iron chains fell on the ground. Under the flickering light of the torch, we could see the coagulated blood. There was also a large pool of blood on the ground, which had not been cleaned yet. , The smell of blood came out, making people feel sick.

An hour ago, here just experienced a cruel and bloody carnival.

Today is the birthday banquet of the owner of the Jiang Mansion, and all the famous and prominent people in the capital came to the banquet, and even the palace sent people to give congratulatory gifts.

Marquis Pingzhao held the military power in the capital camp and was busy defending the capital, so he had no time to come. Pingzhaohou's mansion sent the young Marquis Xiao Yin to the banquet.

In the past, Jiang Yao had seen Xiao Yin many times from afar, and every time he hid in the dark, but Xiao Yin was always the center of the nobles in the capital. Seeing Xiao Yin galloping on the racecourse, in his impression, this little duke seems to have endless energy, running around all day without stopping, and also likes to make pranks and play with others, he doesn't know the meaning of quiet at all. What.

Those aristocratic sons always complimented Xiao Yin half-truthfully, and did not hesitate to praise them, and Xiao Yin did not know how to be humble, and always responded one by one, as if in his own heart, he was so powerful that he should stand The most dazzling place is mad and proud.

It's just that Jiang Yao didn't see Xiao Yin's face very clearly because of the distance in the past. He didn't see Xiao Yin so close until today during the day.

There are turbulent waves on the white robe, and the smile on the eyebrows is shining brightly in the sun, as if no matter who it is, they will be unable to move their eyes.

He made a big mistake today and was almost executed by the young master. There have been times like this before. Outsiders are always indifferent when they see it. The nobles don’t care about the life and death of a secret guard, or someone else’s own secret guard. If you kill it, you will kill it. There is no need to meddle in other people's housework, only Xiao Yin can take care of such nosy matters.

It was Xiao Yin who saved him, and everyone said that the kindness of saving life should be repaid well. He looked at the iron cage in front of him, feeling overwhelmingly sad and powerless.

On the surface, today's banquet is a birthday banquet, but in fact, Jiang's family has long been colluding with the Taiwei, Bai's family and other ambitious people to put Ping Zhaohou's mansion to death, and they dare to do something in the capital. With the palace's instruction, the military power in the Xiao family's hands is too tempting and dangerous, and the best policy is to kill them all.

Therefore, in the middle of the banquet, news came from outside that the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp had mutinied, Ping Zhaohou was hit by an arrow and returned to the mansion, but the mutinous army did not let go and was heading towards Ping Zhaohou's mansion.

Xiao Yin's face changed when he heard the words, he immediately picked up the sword at his feet, and hurried back to the Hou's mansion, but the Jiang family would never give him a way out, there were hidden guards in all directions, blocking all his way out.

Half of the guests knew what was going on today and stood still, while the other half saw the situation and understood what they didn't understand. Facing the Jiang family's network, they all sat in their seats tactfully, only Xiao Yin was the only one. Facing this bloody battle with one sword.

Jiang Yao was very close at that time. He was not part of this mission. His mission was to protect Jiang Lianzhi, so he hid in the tree and did not dare to move.

There were too many people, even if he rushed out, he would not be able to save Xiao Yin, he would only die with Xiao Yin.

Seeing that Xiao Yin's movements were somewhat sluggish, someone must have given some medicine to Xiao Yin's food, Jiang Lianzhi sneered on his face, it was him who ordered the medicine.

Jiang Lianzhi is a very pushy and arrogant person, but when Xiao Yin is around, the limelight is often taken away, so he hated Xiao Yin very much when he was a child, today he is step by step to force Xiao Yin to stay in Jiangfu. Xiao Yin wanted to leave, but he came forward to persuade him to stay, and even gave Xiao Yin medicine.

There is no suspense about the outcome of this bloody battle. Xiao Yin is soaked in blood and has many scars, but he refuses to let go. His eyes are bloodshot, and the fierce gaze makes people feel a little palpitating. He probably guessed today's layout, standing on the ground leaning on his sword. Getting up, he asked Jiang Lianzhi in a cold voice, "What did you do to my father?"

At this moment, a person came and reported to the crowd that the rebels had set fire to Ping Zhaohou's mansion, and none of the more than 300 people in the mansion escaped.

And the so-called rebel army is Ping Zhaohou's most trusted lieutenant general. Who would not understand that this is to cut off the power of the Xiao family one by one, especially the cronies in the army, so that the Xiao family will have no more power? Turn over the day.

Xiao Yin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and suddenly laughed, as if he had encountered something funny, he laughed so much that tears came out, and then he raised his sword and was about to stab himself in the heart. Flying the sword in his hand, he stepped forward and caught him.

Jiang Yao wept silently on the tree. Apart from crying, he didn't know what else he could do now. After trying to tell himself to calm down, he had a bold idea in his mind.

He wanted to save Xiao Yin, even at the cost of his life.

At that moment, his heart was smashed like a heavy object, only one thought remained, which gave him a boldness that he had never had before. No matter how he ignored it, he couldn't watch Xiao Yin die.

But it was obvious that he had only spoken a few words to Xiao Yin today, they should have been strangers and had never met before.

Such crazy thoughts grew like poisonous weeds, eroding all his rationality. He only knew that if he didn't do it, he would regret it for the rest of his life, and he lived in pain and guilt every day.

The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. For so many years, only Xiao Yin would care about a lowly hidden guard, and would show him a warm smile, just like facing everyone else, as if he was also a person who could be loved by others. It is worth respecting ordinary people who can have all the goodwill in the world.

Jiang Lianzhi didn't kill Xiao Yin on the spot but he was out of torture. He invited all the guests to watch this cruel show in the dungeon.

The young man in white was hung in a cage like a lamb at the mercy of others. They beat him with a whip dipped in salt water, nailed thin bamboo sticks into his joints, and took out sharp knives to cut off his tendons. Let him be a cripple and linger like a beast in a cage.

The onlookers were indifferent, excited, and mocking, but they had no sympathy or intolerance. Everyone was like a monster, like a ghost in hell, disgusting and frightening. They killed Xiao Yin's family for power. He also tortured Xiao Yin to death, bringing them supreme pleasure.

Jiang Lianzhi watched indifferently from the shadow behind the crowd, with bloodthirsty lust shining in his eyes, Jiang Yao approached him, knelt in front of him, and said in a trembling voice: "Young master, I beg you to let me go!" he……"

"He begged you earlier, and you want to repay him?" Jiang Lianzhi is in a very good mood now, and he doesn't speak ill of him like before, "I don't have to kill him, but neither the Taiwei nor the man in the palace I will let him go, and those two meant to cut off his tendons, just to prevent him from surviving by chance and gaining access to military power."

Jiang Yao kept kowtowing to Jiang Lianzhi, his forehead dripping with blood, but Xiao Yin's scream exploded in his ear, he turned his head suddenly, and saw the sharp knife cutting Xiao Yin's tendons very slowly, Xiao Yin cried out in pain, struggling with the chains in his hands, like a ridiculous trapped animal, all in vain.

"Don't, don't..." Jiang Yao burst into tears, shook his head and was about to rush forward. Two hidden guards locked his hands tightly and pulled him back, "Don't hurt him... don't..."

Xiao Yin's screams lasted for a long time, and Jiang Yao could hear clearly at first, as if a drumstick was hitting his eardrums, shattering all his mind to pieces. Later, it might be true His liver and gallbladder were torn apart, and he couldn't even hear his voice clearly. The screams seemed to be far away in the sky, but they didn't disappear, and they followed him like a shadow.

He was dragged out, and the dark guards who knew him well said that he vomited blood retrogradely.

The birthday banquet was finally over, the crowd dispersed, and everything was as silent as the ashes of Ping Zhaohou's mansion.

Jiang Yao doesn't need to be on duty tonight, some of the secret guards are going to guard the dungeon, and this is not his job, he learned that Xiao Yin is not dead, but just locked in the dungeon, and he can't sleep, so he boldly took advantage of the night After going to the dungeon, even if Xiao Yin can't be rescued, it's always good to have a look.

Walking to the end of the dungeon, there was a man lying on the ground in the closed cell. The chains on his limbs stretched out and locked him in the corner of the wall. There was only a small window on the top of his head. The light moonlight shone in, reflecting the man's pale complexion, flesh and blood all over his body. Blurred, blood still oozing from wrists and ankles.

Jiang Yao held back his tears behind the mask, and showed his waist badge to the guarding hidden guard, and asked a few words as he said before.

Those hidden guards let him in without saying anything. He closed the door of the cell, ran over to test Xiao Yin's breath, and made sure that he was still alive. His, but he rarely uses it, and the powder inside is still full.

He held Xiao Yin's wrist with trembling hands, looked at the shocking wound and broken tendons, tears kept falling, but he still remembered to be careful when sprinkling the medicine powder, lest he hurt Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin seemed to feel pain in the coma, moved twice, and murmured unconsciously: "Father, mother...don't leave me..."

There were more tears in Jiang Yao's eyes, and he wiped away the tears to see things clearly, and continued to give Xiao Yin medicine.

"Are you from the Jiang family?" Xiao Yin woke up once in the middle of the pain, saw his half-exposed eyes glistening with tears under the moonlight, and said softly, "If you really pity me, kill me. "

Jiang Yao didn't speak, and silently straightened Xiao Yin's messy and blood-stained hair, but he didn't wear a headband, so he had to let his hair loose. Seeing that Xiao Yin closed his eyes again due to exhaustion, he whispered: "I will I rescued you, tell me who else can rescue you, I will help you find someone, and I will definitely help you."

Xiao Yinfu opened his eyes and said in a daze: "No more...my relatives are all dead...they are all dead..."

Jiang Yao bit his lip to force himself to calm down, and said again: "I heard that Ping Zhaohou's mansion also has secret guards, where are they usually?"

Xiao Yin seemed unwilling to think about it, or maybe he was too weak and tired, so he shook his head and passed out again.

"There will be a way, young master, think again." Jiang Yao choked up, "If the tendons in the limbs are broken, there is a chance to connect them. I heard that there are such genius doctors in the world who can do it. As long as you go out , it will be fine."

"You must... must live..."

The author has something to say:

For Goose, he met the light in his life that day, and then the light went out with a snap.

(How come there is a rush with a murderous motive)
