Guard Test
Since Zhu Yu was scared away, Ye Fan has become much more purified all of a sudden. No one has come to disturb him for three consecutive days.
In addition to normal practice, Ye Fan also patrolled everyone. At the same time, he found that Princess Muyang had some contacts with many princes and nobles, and had close contacts.
Through understanding, Ye Fan learned a lot about Princess Muyang.
Princess Muyang is not only a genius disciple of Shangrui Academy, but also a well-known figure in the Shangrui Dynasty and has a great talent for dominance.
Unfortunately, although Princess Muyang herself is both talented and beautiful, her younger brother, the ninth prince Mu Qing, is a playboy who only knows how to play.
It was not long before the Emperor had established the emperor, but there were many princes under his knees. Princess Muyang naturally had to cultivate her younger brother to help her ascend to the throne.
It is for this younger brother to please everyone at this moment.
"Now the hidden dangers of the Netherworld clan are becoming more and more serious. The Shangrui Dynasty is still fighting for power and throne. It is indeed correct to not join it!"
Ye Fan thought to himself, and for the first time he agreed to the Qingyuan Palace Master's practice of temporarily hiding the news.
After all, the Shangrui Dynasty was too busy to take care of itself, and once news about the Netherworld clan came out, there would be no chaos.
The Netherworld clan has not yet really exploded. One of the major reasons is that it is hoped to take advantage of the struggle for power and throne to control a group of people in the dynasty, so that it would be easier to defeat the Shangrui Dynasty.
"In the midst of this chaotic situation, it should be easy to identify the puppets of the Netherworld clan!"
Ye Fan got a lot of news for a while and understood his advantages.
"By the way, Xiaogui, when he came, he saw a man named Li Wuxi. What did he say about the competition in seven days? Do you know?"
The person who told Ye Fan about this news was a patrol guard who partnered with Ye Fan. He was very well-known and had a nickname. This time, Ye Fan suddenly thought of this and couldn't help asking.
"Young Master Li Wuxi!"
Xiaogui was shocked by the name first, and then explained: "Brother Cang Ye should be talking about the guard competition. This is not a good thing. It is all a fun thing that the princes and nobles think of, but it is our heads!"
"Oh? It has something to do with us? Tell me in detail!"
Ye Fan was slightly stunned and suddenly became interested.
"The guard competition is very dangerous, but it is not usually the turn for us. Our strength is not enough, so we will definitely die if we go there. The guard competition is held every six months. The main reason is that these princes and nobles use the guard competition to make bets, and sometimes they will bet on something more important."
"For example, in the last guard competition, I deliberately went ahead and bet on Ye Fan!"
Xiaogui's face was nervous and recalled.
"You...what were you saying? Ye Fan!" Ye Fan was completely shocked after hearing this.
Isn’t Ye Fan the only one? Bet on him?
"Brother Cangye, what's wrong with you? Have you heard of this person?"
Xiaogui was a little surprised when he saw Ye Fan's exaggerated expression.
Ye Fan nodded and urged Xiaogui to continue explaining.
"The most important thing about these princes and nobles is their connections and resources. At that time, Ye Fan was famous in the Shangrui Dynasty and was honored as the governor of Qingzhou by the emperor at a young age. Many princes and nobles wanted to make friends with him and get his help."
"In the escort competition at that time, whoever wins will be able to get the right to recruit Ye Fan first. Within three months, the rest of the forces will not be affected!"
"It's a pity that Ye Fan disappeared later as if he had evaporated from the world. Although the fifth prince won the victory, he had to leave it alone!"
Xiaogui suddenly revealed a lot of news that made Ye Fan speechless and shocked.
"This group of princes and nobles is really boring!"
Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh that he was speechless when he used this method to gambling.
"In fact, this is also to avoid fighting. The escort competition seems to be fun, but to a large extent, the peace of the capital was maintained. Things between elders were resolved through court, while disputes between younger generations were resolved through guard competition."
Although Xiaogui is just a small guard, he has been in the Princess's Mansion for a long time and has seen a lot of things and revealed the true meaning of the guard competition.
"What you said makes some sense!"
Ye Fan nodded and agreed.
Some things are destined to be unable to enter the court, but they can be decided through the escort competition.
Just like fighting for talents, how could such a thing happen in the court? It is a ruthless act.
"Do you know what they are fighting for this guard competition?"
Ye Fan asked subconsciously.
"I don't know this. The situation in the dynasty is unpredictable. They compete for a lot of things, regions, wealth, wise men, etc...."
Xiaogui shook his head and gave a series of information.
"The situation is unpredictable, it is indeed the case!"
Ye Fan agreed with these words in particular, nodded, and gradually became silent.
"Anyway, this competition is better for us not to participate. Although the winners have generous rewards, few survive, and only the top ones!"
Xiaogui specifically reminded.
Ye Fan nodded understandingly. How could princes and nobles like Princess Muyang take the lives of mere guards to heart? To put it bluntly, it is just a game for the superiors.
...
At this moment, in the lobby of the princess's mansion, Princess Muyang was sitting in the first place, Lin Sheng and Zhu Yu were sitting on both sides, discussing important matters.
"Lin Sheng, Zhu Yu, there are two days left to compete for the guards. How are your staff arranged? This time it is important, and we will win no matter what!"
Princess Muyang asked with a serious face and majesty.
"Your Highness Princess, I have trained two guards on my side and have entered the Soul Realm. I am sure of victory. Please rest assured!"
Lin Sheng immediately stood up and expressed his opinion.
"Hmph, Leader Lin, you always guaranteed this way, how many times did you win? The people you trained often can't even take a single move."
Zhu Yu walked out immediately and said a little disdainfully.
"Yu'er's words are reasonable. What I need this time is a real strong man, just like you, not those guards who have just entered the Soul Realm. Lin Sheng, you should understand that the masters in the Soul Realm are not very strong in the competition!"
Princess Muyang responded and said with complaints.
"This..." Lin Sheng was speechless for a moment. After all, it was not this time that he disappointed Princess Muyang.
"Your Highness Princess, I have also made some preparations. At the same time, I want to recommend a candidate, right in our Princess' Mansion!"
Seeing Lin Sheng being defeated, Zhu Yu showed a successful smile and suddenly suggested.
"Oh? But is there any expert among the guests I have recently found?"
Princess Muyang immediately gathered her mind when she heard this and guessed repeatedly.
"No, this person is a new guard named Cang Ye!"
A cold light flashed in Zhu Yu's eyes and he said extremely seriously. (To be continued)
