This shadow guard, you are enlightened

The cold wind made the window rails creak, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night. The moonlight shone into the house through the broken paper windows, reflecting two blurred figures.

In a small warehouse full of dust and weeds, the boy in black knelt on his knees, looking up at his master slightly, while his right hand, which was originally holding a sword, was hanging aside, bleeding continuously.

His lord, Xing Chenmu, the reigning prince of Ranying Kingdom, is only ten years old this year. He has just experienced the murder of his close relatives. His eyes are red with blood, whether it is from anger or sadness.

"Your Highness..." Zhuo Ying originally thought that he would need to spend a lot of time comforting the other party before analyzing the current situation, but unexpectedly he uttered two words, Xing Chenmu had already controlled his emotions, picked him up and put him aside The long sword, the blade cut across the hem of the costume, and cut out a piece of cloth that was not stained.

Xing Chenmu folded the good cloth, lowered his head and carefully tied it on the wound on his right arm: "If you don't take me, how sure are you to rush out?"

The voice that came out was a slightly childish childish voice, but that tone sounded too dull, giving off a weird feeling instead.

Zhuo Ying was already used to her master's calmness that didn't match her age, so she quickly replied truthfully: "Fifty percent."

But if he brought Xing Chenmu with him, he might not even be [-]% sure. He didn't say anything, and Xing Chenmu naturally understood in his heart. The hidden grid is not too big, but it is just right to accommodate a child who has not yet grown up.

Seeing that Xing Chenmu was going to lie down like this, Zhuo Ying stopped him, got up and carefully checked the small hole on the hidden compartment, and after making sure that he would not suffocate in it, he took out a small bag of dry food from his body, and filled it with The water bag was handed over to the other party, and I couldn't help reminding again: "Your Highness... this mechanism can only be opened from the outside."

It can only be opened from the outside, which means that if Zhuo Ying cannot come back in time, even if Xing Chenmu can not be discovered by the enemy, he is very likely to die of thirst or starvation in this secret compartment.

"I know." Xing Chenmu smiled very rarely, "Didn't you say that I can trust you?"

It didn't look like he was in the predicament of a near-death situation, but rather as comfortable and calm as if he was about to sleep on a soft golden couch.

Zhuo Ying was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that what Xing Chenmu said was what he promised when he was assigned to the prince two years ago, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Okay, there is no other way anyway, you go." Xing Chenmu didn't seem to need his answer, seeing that he was silent, he lay down in the sunken dark compartment after finishing his words.

Zhuo Ying gritted her teeth and agreed, kowtowed to Xing Chenmu on the knees, and assured in a low voice: "This subordinate will definitely come back."

After speaking, he didn't dare to hesitate, and pressed the mechanism again, watching the secret compartment slowly close in front of his eyes.

Zhuo Ying carefully wiped off the remaining blood stains on the ground with the hem of his clothes, and spread a thin layer of weeds on it, until he confirmed that everything in the house was back to normal, then turned and left.

Not far away, the flames are soaring into the sky, and the people who are searching for them have arrived...
