This shadow guard, you are enlightened

Lu Xiao paused, and invited everyone into the room before telling the story.

The matter goes back to ten years ago, starting with the attack on Xing Chenmu in Shangqing Temple.

Lujia Town is too far away from Luan City, and it was the spring of the following year when the news of Xing Chenmu's attack came back. When Lu Jiarui heard the news, he was worried about his daughter in the palace, and worried about his grandson who was attacked. rest well.

That year was no different than now, if anything happened, I could send a letter to my home to report my safety.At that time, although Lu Shaorong had already been crowned empress, he still had no foundation in the palace. In addition, Xing Chenmu was murdered by his imperial grandmother, and the harem was in chaos. Lu Shaorong was unable to send news out of the palace.

Lu Xiao was also very worried. He had been close to this sister since he was a child, and although he had never met his nephew, he still wished him well from the bottom of his heart. After hesitating at home for a few days, he decided to go to Luan City to inquire about the news.

At that time, Lu Xian was only seven years old, and because there was a school in his family, he was taught to read early, but he had a playful and active nature, so it was hard for him to sit quietly, learn to read and read poems.Hearing that his father was going on a long trip, he wanted to follow him life and death, but Lu Xiao couldn't stand him. After discussing with Lu Jiarui, he agreed, thinking that it would be good to take him out to see the world.

After the father and son arrived in Luancheng, they failed to have any contact with Lu Shaorong, so they could only temporarily live in an inn in Luancheng, and inquired about the news that the prince was attacked in Luancheng every day.

The attack on the crown prince of Shangqing Temple had been widely spread in Luan City at that time. There were different opinions in the streets and alleys. Almost everyone could describe the danger in the temple that day vividly and vividly, as if they had seen it with their own eyes. How the recovery has progressed, no one knows.

The little Lu Xian went out with Lu Xiao to inquire every day. In order to scare the children, some naughty people deliberately depicted the bloody scenes in the temple. listen.

After a few days like this, just in time for the Qingming Festival, the late emperor went out of the palace to worship the ancestors, the holy chariot passed by, heavily guarded, and the onlookers were isolated on both sides of the road from approaching.

As the crown prince, Xing Chenmu walked with the former emperor. He was sitting in a sedan chair, and the people could only see a slightly immature side face from under the raised curtain, but with only one side face, it was clear that he was The majesty of the prince.

Lu Xiao and Lu Xian were also in the crowd. Seeing that Xing Chenmu had already been able to go out to worship the ancestors, his body should be fine, so he let go of his hanging heart when he heard his son pulling his robe and saying, "Father, the prince is angry. ?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiao didn't care about his question, so he knelt down and said seriously next to his ear: "Xian'er, you can't just call the prince's brother outside, you know? You should say His Royal Highness."

The little Lu Xian didn't understand, and asked with some grievances: "Why?"

"Because this will cause trouble for His Royal Highness, and if people hear it, they may arrest you." A family with no power and power like them will only add unnecessary trouble to Lu Shaorong and Xing Chenmu, but these Lu Xiao didn't explain much to the child, he patted Lu Xian's head, "His Royal Highness is not angry either, he just...is not happy."

"why you are not feeling happy?"

Lu Xiao took his son to a place where no one was around: "Because many people want to harm him, Xian'er thought, if someone keeps bullying you, you will be unhappy, right?"

"Others are bullying His Highness the Crown Prince, so no one protects him?" Lu Xian lowered his head and thought for a while, but he actually looked swollen.

At the age of six or seven, it is the time when children are full of curiosity. It seems that they have to ask clearly about everything, so Lu Xiao picked up his son and looked at the team. He pointed to the masked boy who was following Xing Chen's animal husbandry sedan chair and said: "Did you see that man? That is the newly-appointed leader of the Shadow Guard Army in the palace, who is dedicated to protecting His Highness the Crown Prince."

This is also what the two of them found out in the past few days in Luancheng. After the battle of Shangqing Temple, this newly appointed leader of the Shadow Guard Army was repeatedly mentioned by the world along with various rumors.

Lu Xian nodded with a half understanding, and stopped asking.

After all, there were still students in the academy. After confirming that Xing Chenmu was safe, Lu Xiao took Lu Xian back to Lujia Town.

But after returning to Lujia Town, he gradually realized something was wrong. When Lu Xian went out, not only did he not learn to read and study because of his increased knowledge, but he couldn't sit still anymore, and often ran out to talk to the children nearby. Fighting, and only going home after being covered in mud.

One day, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop next door brought his son to the door and asked Lu Xiao for an explanation. The two of them were just playing around, but Lu Xian hit hard and beat him until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

Lu Jiarui's family has moved to this town for more than ten years, and they have always had a good relationship with their neighbors. When this happened, they felt very guilty. They made Lu Xian kneel in front of the other party, beat him with a ruler for a long time, and went to the shopkeeper of the cloth shop to calm down. It stopped when I left with my son.

Lu Xian had already cried so much that his face was full of tears, he was almost out of breath, and he only revealed the reason for the dispute after being pressed by Lu Xiao, it was the boy next door who showed them how capable his elder brother was, and was admitted as a scholar.Lu Xian was not convinced, his elder brother was the prince, but Lu Xiao had confessed that he could never say it outside, so he could only say that his elder brother was amazing, but he couldn't explain why, the other party naturally didn't believe it, and the two sides fought Then they started fighting, that kid was three years older than Lu Xian, but in terms of fighting, no kid in the entire Lujia Town could find a match for Lu Xian, once Lu Xian got angry, he fought until the kid admitted his mistake and begged for mercy .

After Lu Xian finished explaining the whole story, he wiped away his tears and stopped crying. He said to Lu Jiarui and Lu Xiao while still kneeling, "Grandfather, Father, I don't want to go to school anymore, I want to learn martial arts."

Lu Xiao became angry when he heard the words, and stepped forward to teach him a lesson, but Lu Jiarui calmed down, stopped his son and asked Lu Xian: "Aren't you dissatisfied with the scholar from the next door family? What can you do with martial arts?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Xian said without thinking: "Learning martial arts can protect the prince's brother! I also want to protect the prince's brother, so that no one will dare to bully him in the future!"

Lu Jiarui and Lu Xiao were stunned at the same time, and after a while, Lu Jiarui got Lu Xian up from the ground and asked earnestly, "Learning martial arts is much harder than studying literature, have you thought about it?"

"Think it over, I just want to learn martial arts!" Lu Xian said firmly.

"Okay, then I'll send you to learn martial arts." Lu Jiarui nodded in response to Lu Xiao's surprised gaze.

Afterwards, the whole family discussed seriously, and they all agreed that Lu Xian prefers learning martial arts rather than reading and reading. Besides, he is also talented in martial arts. If you force him to dance with words, he probably won't learn much, so the matter of learning martial arts has been settled like this. .

There was no master who taught martial arts in Lujia Town, so Lu Xiao entrusted a student who had already settled in Ningshui County to find a master for Lu Xian in Ningshui County. He lived with the master for food and lodging, and only came back during the holidays. Lujia Town.

Lu Xian is indeed talented, and he worked very hard. Four years later, when he was 11 years old, his master had already taught him all the kung fu he could teach. So he introduced him to a martial arts gym in Luancheng to study.

Another year later, when the Shadow Guard Army Reserve Battalion was recruiting soldiers, Lu Xian wrote a letter to his family, stating that he was going to participate in the Shadow Guard Army selection, and asked them to keep it a secret for him, not to tell anyone about it.After that, the family never received any news from him himself, only a secret letter would be mailed every year, in the letter there was only a note with the word "safety" besides the bank note, it was not Lu Xian. handwriting, and there is no signature.

The matter of Lu Xian's participation in the Shadow Guards Army was deliberately confessed that the family could not disclose it to the outside world. After Xing Chenmu ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager and the Lu family began to exchange letters. Lu Jiarui never mentioned this matter. For one thing, he respected Lu Xian's intentions. If Lu Xianruo really served as Xing Chenmu's personal bodyguard in the palace, it is not impossible to recognize his relatives, but he did not, which means that he still insists on his childhood dream and only wants to protect his prince brother.

Secondly, both Lu Jiarui and Lu Xiao hoped that Lu Xian could do something, instead of relying on their blood relationship with Xing Chenmu to be a relative of the emperor. In the end, they didn't get close, and instead they got caught up in the extravagant and lustful habits of those rich men in Luancheng.

But as a mother, Shen Jinghan couldn't be as calm as Lu Jiarui and Lu Xiao.It was okay in the first few years, at least she knew that her son was in the Shadow Guard Army, but as time passed, apart from the two words sent every year, there was no news of Ren Lu Xian at home. He became more and more uneasy about whether his letter was true or not.

Seeing Xing Chenmu come to the house today, and hearing that Zhuo Ying is the commander of the shadow guards, she has been hesitating, wondering if she should inquire about her son.

And Xing Chenmu's mood is also very complicated at this time, maybe there is a bond of blood between people, and there are many shadow guards around him, but Xing Chenmu has noticed Lu Xian very early, when Lu Xian started a dispute with others for Zhuo Ying Later, he became more impressed with Lu Xian, and that's why he kept Lu Xian by his side when Zhuo Ying left the palace for a short time.

Recalling the appearance of Lu Xian guarding him to the death when Ning Yuan and others attacked, Xing Chenmu sincerely said to Lu Xiao and Shen Jinghan: "He did it. As one of the hundred cloud shadow guards in the army, Lu Xianmu Good enough, and he really has been keeping me safe."

"That's good, that's good." Nothing is more proud than her son's affirmation. Shen Jinghan wiped away her tears and showed a gratified smile.

Zhuo Ying also stepped forward and explained: "It is a rule in the Shadow Guard Army not to send any news privately. Every year, there will be a special person in the army to write a letter with the word "Safe" for each Shadow Guard, and send it to the home. The letter means that the shadow guards are safe in the palace. If... die for the Lord, the corpses will be buried in Zhongshan. It will also be delivered to the home by a special person."

Shadow guards are hard work, and most of the people who join the shadow guard army have their own difficulties, some are for money, and some, like Zhuo Ying, just want to survive, and they joined the army firmly to protect Xing Chenmu from the very beginning Yes, I'm afraid I can't find a few people.

That night Xing Chenmu and Zhuo Ying told the elders in the family a lot about Lu Xian. Lu Xian has been in the Shadow Guard Army for several years, and he can be regarded as a capable subordinate who followed Zhuo Ying all the way. Zhuo Ying liked this child very much, knowing that After he became Xing Chenmu's cousin, he was even more touched.

Late at night, Ying Jiu sat alone on the roof, staring at the bright full moon in a trance.

What happened to Lu Xian touched him deeply, reminding him of many pasts that he had gradually forgotten. He tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep, so he simply came here to enjoy the autumn breeze.

After a while, the door at the bottom opened, Ying Ba came out from the inside, tapped his toes, followed him up to the roof, and sat beside him: "I didn't sleep all night yesterday, why didn't I rest today, so elegant, come here Watching the moon from this roof?"

The author has something to say: Lu Xian has a full chapter...so, Lu Xian worshiped Zhuo Ying since he was a child, and that's why he fought for Zhuo Ying before

And...... Cough, the real deputy CP of this article has appeared, has anyone guessed it, there must be a monster in many scenes!
