56. Chapter 56 Guests or guards

Author: Writer Yue Ye

Tonight's trip, I thought there would be some twists and turns, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth.

Shen Ange unconsciously squeezed his hands in his sleeves, and only relaxed them after he said these words. The expression between his brows returned to normal, and he smiled and said: "In that case, from tomorrow onwards you will no longer be a slave, you will serve as a slave to my house." How do you say, sir?"

As if he didn't expect her to "treat" her like this, Gu Qing was slightly startled.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that this guest has a good reputation, but he is still an outsider. It is inconvenient to walk around the house, and it is also inconvenient to go out with him. It is a hindrance to his actions.

"Fu Jiu comes from a humble background and once lived in Shuiyuntian. He has little knowledge and cannot be a guest. Fu Jiu is willing to start as a bodyguard, follow the young lady's side and protect the young lady."

Gu Qing lowered her eyes to cover the emotions flowing in her eyes, and lowered her voice and said, "As long as Fu Jiu can stay with the lady, he can do anything."

The implication was that there was no need to treat him like this, he could just be a bodyguard. Although he didn't know what his plan was, his words reminded Shen Ange.

If he is indeed too conspicuous to live in the Shen Mansion as a guest, and can easily be exploited by someone with ulterior motives, and if his identity is found out, then the Shen Mansion will be involved in court disputes and add danger to the Shen family. It is better to be a bodyguard. Came covertly.

It's a good idea to follow him by his side without having to show up in front of the hall.

Shen Ange cursed in his heart, silently watching him humble himself and pity himself.

An idea flashed in his mind, and Shen Ange agreed to him.

"Then, as you said, I will start as a bodyguard. But one thing you have to remember is that bodyguards are also human beings, not slaves. Don't look down on yourself and do things that are humiliating to yourself. The rest, I I’ll just teach you slowly.”

Shen Ange left and almost forgot one thing when she walked to the door. She turned back and took out a box of ointment from her waist. Knowing his suspicious nature, she opened the lid and applied some on her hands.

"This ointment is for scar removal, just apply it like this, do you understand?"

Then he turned around and left. Seeing the last light of the lantern disappearing around the corner, Gu Qing sat on the couch and closed the door with a wave of his hand, cutting off the darkness.

Gu Qing smiled secretly and looked around the room.

"Well, it's a good cage. If you open it, it will run in by itself."

He took off these deerskin boots and looked at them carefully by the candlelight. Then he seemed to think of something funny, and loosened his fingers, letting the boots fall to the ground and hang.

He leaned forward on the couch, propped up with his elbows, and let out a dull laugh from his chest.

He didn't even know how to lie. The little girl's thoughts were clearly revealed in front of him. The deerskin was very new. Except for the fact that she came back from hunting that day, it didn't look like the overstocked inventory in the warehouse.

She was so caring, giving him boots and ointment, as if she was trying to tie up this wolf with gentle yoke.

He couldn't help but wonder, could she have guessed his identity?

After thinking for a moment, Gu Qing quickly gave up the idea. Even the Shen family and his son didn't recognize me, let alone a girl from the boudoir?

During these days in the Shen Mansion, I observed for a long time that Shen Ange's daily actions were extremely simple and did not involve any party in the palace.

The mystery about her is something that he still can't solve. Why does she know him and seem to be very familiar with him? The girl is like a candlelight in the mist, dazzling and attractive.

Gu Qing never does anything he is not sure about. According to his past acting style, if he fails to grasp or understand something, it is safest to deal with it quickly.

Finally, burn it all with fire.

But now...

Gu Qing's eyes darkened slightly. Instead of following her past, she actually followed her own temper and was a little reluctant to take action.

He slowly stopped smiling, stood up, picked up his boots again, and dusted them off.

It was quiet late at night, bathed in the cold moonlight; the shadows of the trees were desolate, and Gu Qing's shadow lengthened accordingly.

A firefly flew in from the window, flew straight towards the candlelight, and turned into smoke in an instant, making it difficult to tell who had seduced whom.

…

The candle lights in Gu Qing's room were extinguished and the entire Shen Mansion fell into silence. The guard who was on duty at night also took this opportunity to be lazy and doze against the door.

A pair of boots fell on the window, slightly wrinkled due to the gravity of the body.

With a single click, the black figure disappeared from the wall.

The patrol teams on the long street intersect in twos and twos, and they can be seen from the wall at a glance.

It seems to remind people how to avoid it.

Behind the dark house that Shui Yuntian burned down, a young man in black in the alley stepped on a floor tile with ease in the dark, and a downward staircase appeared under the cover of half of the roof.

The young man walked slowly downwards, and as he gradually went downwards, the torches on both walls were automatically lit.

The appearance of the room at the bottom of the stairs gradually became clearer, with beds, tables and chairs all in the room.

When the four people in the room saw the visitor, they all knelt down on one knee.

"My lord."

Dan, the leading woman, said: "My lord, according to the information, the people assigned there will take action tomorrow. Do you still need to continue..."

Another person also stepped forward and said: "Sir, arrangements have been made outside the city."

The young man was dressed in black, sitting sideways on a chair, and the hem of his clothes fell to the side with the movement of his knees. He seemed to have the aura of a natural superior in the main seat.

Gu Qing played with the dagger in his hand. The dagger flew around his fingertips and would insert into his finger if he was not careful.

The young man's deep voice was as calm as water with a hint of majesty: "If you are caught, you should know what will happen."

When several people heard the young man's words, they all lowered their heads and expressed their loyalty and determination.

"Yes, we will never be dragged down by the decision."

The words in the night were like fire, lighting up a corner of the palace.

In the corner of the East Palace, a man in a bright yellow robe sat on top, the fragments of tea cups were scattered everywhere, and several people kneeling in the hall were trembling.

"Your Highness, the shadows outside came to report that the people sent out were all killed one by one. Do you want to send more people?"

The man raised his wrist and put it on the armrest, his fingers tightened slightly, and his fingertips glowed white. It was easy to see his suppressed anger.

"No need, my father has already noticed it. This matter has been put on hold. He won't be able to come back."

Someone in the hall bravely reported: "Your Highness, everything has been assembled in Yuzhou, and the secrets will be sent to Changyuan upon His Highness's order."

Just after he finished speaking, the man suddenly shouted: "Stupid! If you send me here at this time, if my father knows about it, do you want me to be deposed? Yuzhou is experiencing repeated disasters, and his parents and officials may not want to do it!"

The sudden anger caused everyone in the hall to kneel on the ground, kowtow and admit their mistake: "Your Highness, calm down, Your Highness, calm down."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I will definitely send more people..." Before he finished speaking, the man in the hall looked over and said sternly: "I don't know where he would have died by the time you sent more people."

"I'll give you one last chance. If this matter continues to fail, I'll invite you all to come to the East Palace for tea..."
