Shadow Guard stand-in

Chongming 18 years.

It was a hot afternoon, and the cicadas were constantly chirping somewhere.The sixth prince, He Jue, who was less than six years old, was rewarded by His Majesty. It was Concubine Zhong Shu who was crying and crying. His Majesty had a headache, and the seriously ill Empress Qin came up with an idea, so he ordered the third prince, His Highness Qin Wang, to take the sixth prince to the life and death camp to pick one. The shadow guard needs to use it.

Shadow guards have always been royal weapons, His Majesty's eagle dogs.

Only the princes who were canonized after marriage negotiation are eligible to be accompanied by shadow guards. The third prince was only selected two or three months ago. The fourth and fifth princes who are older than the sixth prince are not eligible yet.And the reason for this is also very simple. It originated from the accident of falling into the lake in the Evergreen Garden last winter. The sixth prince was almost killed, but the case was closed.

Empress Qin, who is the nominal mother of the sixth prince, blamed herself for not taking good care of the emperor's heir, so please punish her behind closed doors.Now it's getting worse and worse, and I can't even get out of bed.

He Jue hadn't been to the Palace of Empress Qin for several months. He lived in the Qianyuan Palace when he was three years old. There are many palace people around him, but everyone has their own thoughts.Most of them are eyeliners inserted by others. The only one who is caring is the one who took the blame last winter. The young sixth prince has become more and more silent and withdrawn, and no one can trust him.

On the way to the camp of life and death, He Jue asked the third prince: "Brother, do the shadow guards only listen to me?"

"Don't call me brother." The third prince replied angrily, "Call me third brother."

"But I heard that you are the elder brother of my mother and compatriots." He Jue didn't understand why the other party was so strange, the third prince turned his head and glared at He Jue, "Let outsiders hear that you are trying to trouble your mother and concubine, you I am the queen's heir, treat me like other brothers, understand?"

He Jue nodded, and after a while, asked again: "The shadow guard will only listen to me, and he will do what I tell him to do, right?"

"Yes." The third prince said, "The shadow guards have received special training. Once they recognize the master, they will only obey the master's orders. But..."

"But what?" He Jue asked.

The third prince thought for a while, and then said, "The Shadow Guards were born in the Life and Death Camp, and the Life and Death Camp was created by the Emperor Father. I don't know if the Shadow Guards inside will obey the Emperor Father's orders in addition to obeying the master's words."

"Why does third brother think so?" He Jue asked puzzled, "Is it your shadow guard who treats you badly?"

"Of course it's good, but I'm just a little worried. Forget it, you're still young and don't understand." The third prince sighed. He was afraid that his every move would be under the supervision of his father, so he also had feelings for the shadow guard who worked for him. scruples.

He Jue really didn't quite understand the worries of the third prince, but that distrust was subconsciously hidden in his heart.

life and death camp.

A group of well-trained shadow guards dressed in uniform black stood in a line to accept the scrutiny of the third prince and the sixth prince one by one.

The third prince came for the second time, and he was not as curious as he was the last time. What's more, he heard about the situation in the life and death camp, and he didn't want to stay here, so he just raised his chin lightly at He Jue.

"Go and pick one yourself, the one that looks pleasing to the eye, just take it away."

"En." He Jue stepped forward. The shadow guards were all different, some were tall and powerful, some were thin and capable, but the only exception was that all of them were expressionless.

They exuded a cold air, which made He Jue dare not take a step forward, for fear of being eaten by this group of people.

He took a step back secretly, turned his eyes away, and then couldn't help but look back. This time, he saw a little boy about his age in the last row.

The little boy noticed He Jue's gaze, and looked straight over, unlike the other people who were so fixed and lifeless.

Those were a pair of dark and deep eyes, as if there were countless secrets in them, but there seemed to be nothing.

He Jue was attracted by those eyes, and looked at them for a long time, even forgetting that the other party was a shadow guard.

He said to the third prince: "Third brother, I want him."

The third prince was surprised, and looked in the direction, he was the thinnest one among the group of shadow guards, he looked less than ten years old, with a straight face.

He ordered the steward: "The sixth prince wants that child, you bring it here."

The manager was a little embarrassed, "His Royal Highness, how old is that child, and he has only been in the life and death camp for a few years, so I'm afraid he lacks experience."

He Jue didn't seem to be willing to listen to the manager's intentions, so he quit immediately, "This is what my father promised, and I can choose by myself, and I like him."

The third prince patted He Jue's little head, and said to the steward, "It's just that others don't know about the life and death camp, so I don't know? The brat inside can tear a big and thick guy with his bare hands. That kid is young, It just happens to be a playmate for the sixth prince, so be it."

So the steward could only bring the little boy over, and when He Jue stepped forward, he realized that he was half a head shorter than him, and was a little unhappy.

But looking closer, He Jue saw a very faint tear mole under the other's left eye.

He was overjoyed and asked, "My name is He Xiaoliu, what's your name?"

The child replied with a cold voice, "Jin Jiuye."

"From then on, I will be your master, and you will be my shadow guard." He Jue spoke in a crisp voice, "Just follow me."

"Okay." Jin Jiuye lowered his eyes.

On the way back, He Jue couldn't stop looking at Jin Jiuye's eyes, as if he wanted to pick Jin Jiuye's eyes out.

"Is the eyeball sticking to someone?" The third prince joked.

He Jue didn't respond, but moved closer to the little shadow guard, and said softly, "Brother Ye, your eyes are so beautiful."

Jin Jiuye blinked in panic, "Why did master call me Brother Ye?"

He Jue smiled, and said very cleverly: "Because my nickname is Brother Jue, then you are my shadow guard, so you should also have a nickname like me."

"Okay." Jin Jiuye agreed.

He Jue reached out and touched the little shadow guard's face again, "Don't hide, I'm your master, shouldn't you listen to me?"

Jin Jiuye really didn't hide anymore, and at the same time silently recited the shadow guard regulations in his heart.

"Keep your face up a little, I want to see your eyes."

Jin Jiuye was obedient, He Jue got very close, looked at it for a while, and sighed like a little adult.

"Oh, I'm not mistaken, your eyes are so beautiful."

He Jue thought for a while, then asked, "Did we meet somewhere?"

The third prince next to him couldn't bear it anymore and sneered, "Xiao Liu, this is your shadow guard, not your daughter-in-law, don't be like a brat who has never seen the world."

"How can I?" He Jue pouted in dissatisfaction.

The third prince imitated He Jue's words just now, "Why do you have beautiful eyes? Where have you seen them before? It's like choosing a wife. You are a prince, and you are staying in the deep palace compound. You can see a shadow guard." Are you stupid, are you!"

He Jue thought about it too, and soon stopped exploring.

After returning to the palace, He Jue woke up after sleeping and forgot about Jin Jiuye.Children are very forgetful, and after waiting a few days to see Jin Jiuye again, they don't think there is anything special about him.

There is even a sense of unfamiliarity.

……

When I am old and suddenly dream when I was young.

The aged and gray-haired He Jue was sitting under an old pear tree in the spring sunshine. The spring breeze blew and the pear blossoms fell. Just for a short while, he thought of Jin Jiuye's eyes again.

At that time he asked if we had met somewhere.

Now the answer is, yes, little fairy.

We will meet again.
