After the door of the study was knocked, someone pushed in from the outside.
After Jinxin stepped over the threshold, he closed the door reflexively, and then walked calmly in front of Xiao Xu. "I heard that you are looking for a subordinate?"
Xiao Xu nodded, "Tu Ling should have told you about everything. This king is looking for you because of this."
"His Royal Highness, this subordinate has already stated his position, and he does not have much yearning for joining the army. Therefore, this subordinate would like to thank His Highness for his high opinion and love." I reiterated what I said to Tu Ling before. again.
These words did not change Xiao Xu's expression much, and he looked at the young man in front of him with a light expression.
Fifteen years old, at the time of his passionate youth, but in front of him, he is sincere and calm, with a poise that does not match his age.
He said, "Can you tell me why you don't want to join the army?"
Although I don't know why His Highness suddenly wanted him to join the military camp, he followed his inner thoughts and replied truthfully, "Jin Xin doesn't have such lofty ideas, such as making achievements and making a career, and saying something that is not very inappropriate, and his subordinates are not so strong. Patriotic feelings, like His Royal Highness, take the people of the world so seriously."
These words sounded a bit outrageous, but compared to those words that went against his heart, Xiao Xu felt that these words were more palatable.
Jinxin didn't specifically observe Xiao Xu's expression, and continued to follow his inner thoughts, "Although my subordinates don't have such a broad mind to accommodate the world, and they don't take fame and fortune so seriously, but there is one thing in my heart. The belief has never changed. That is to guard the master's side and protect her safety."
In front of him, when he said the words of never abandoning his family, Xiao Xu's eyes flashed, and he looked at Jinxin with great interest, and he was really brave. But he could see that he still had a lot to say, so he continued to listen quietly.
"His Royal Highness, the life of this subordinate is saved by the master, and even the ability to survive is also given by the master. Her subordinate has a kindness that cannot be repaid with her life. The position of the master and you in the depths of this dynasty is very special. There are many people who are eyeing you in the dark, and the subordinates have no other skills, only martial arts, and a heart that is not afraid of death, the subordinates want to stay by the master's side and resist those evil spirits for her."
Jinxin's speech is not so impassioned or heart-wrenching, just simply and calmly explaining the reason.
Such an attitude of neither humble nor arrogant makes Xiao Xu very satisfied.
But he was more gratified that the little guy's decision to take him in was right, and she gained a loyal subordinate.
I have to admit, the little guy looks at people.
Because from Jin Xin's speech and expression, he could see that what he said came from the bottom of his heart.
"I sincerely believe that your remarks surprised this king, but he was also very pleased. At the same time, I am very grateful for your kindness to Ayan." Xiao Xu smiled lightly.
Jinxin replied, "Your Highness, this is a decision made with confidence and willingness, you don't need to say that."
Xiao Xu nodded, this person is not humiliated, he is a talent.
"Believe me, you said that you stayed by A Yan's side to protect her?"
"Yes."
"Then if, this king said, there is a chance to protect her better than staying by her side, are you willing to do it?" Xiao Xu said slowly.
Jinxin looked puzzled, "You mean the opportunity to join the army? But your subordinates don't understand what this has to do with protecting your master?"
Xiao Xu looked at him with a half-smile on his lips, "Yes, that is, joining the army. If we talk about the actual connection, it is not as obvious as it seems, but it can protect her better than being by her side."
These words successfully aroused Jin Xin's curiosity, "Can Your Highness explain it a bit more clearly?"
Xiao Xu nodded, he stood up, walked to the windowsill, turned to look at Jinxin with his hands behind his back, his tone was as cold as falling snow, "You are right, there are a group of people who are staring at us, hiding behind the scenes, always wanting to give We are dead, but for Ayan, your protection can only cure the symptoms but not the root cause, it can stop it for a while, but it can't stop it forever."
I believe in silence, because His Highness's words, he could not refute, and resonated in his heart.
"Believe it, you know that the most terrifying thing in this world is not open guns and dark arrows, but killing people invisibly. Swords can still be avoided, but most of the tricks are not necessarily fighting on the bright side, and force is the worst strategy. , only the contest of wisdom is truly terrifying."
Inside the window, Xiao Xu stood with his hands behind his back, the bright moonlight fell on his hair, on his clothes, his eyes had no joy or sorrow, and he was too high to reach.
When Jinxin heard these words, he was a little stunned. Although he understood the truth, he still couldn't understand how it was related to his joining the army
It's just that His Highness's lofty and godlike appearance made him involuntarily continue to listen.
"For A-Yan, the real danger is not in the battlefield, but in the end of the war. This king hopes that you can grow up in the barracks, make a world of your own, and then go to Beijing to become A-Yan's hidden power. Be her toughest shield against those wicked secret hands."
Xiao Xu calmly looked into Jinxin's eyes and said these words.
I have done so much foreshadowing just now, in order to draw out the following words.
At this time, he needed someone he could trust to serve as a general, and he also needed Ayan to cultivate his power, otherwise it would be too late to continue. When the war is over and she returns to the capital, Ayan will no longer be as helpless as she was in front of the noble family five years ago.
Before leaving the court, he had to ensure A-Yan's safety. In the complicated political situation in Kyoto, A-Yan needed to have his own connections and power to be safe and secure in places he couldn't see or protect.
And sincere, is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Don't be stupid, just a few words to understand Xiao Xu's intention.
"His Royal Highness means that let the subordinates come to the stage from the back of the master. If the subordinates have higher powers, they will be able to make more profits for the master and protect them?"
"Yes, what do you think?" Xiao Xu nodded.
"His Royal Highness, do you think your subordinates can really do it?" Jinxin was a little unconfident, he never thought about this issue.
Xiao Xu smiled, "You have to ask yourself, this king and Ayan will not make decisions for you, but will give you one day to go back and think about it."
Jinxin was silent for a moment, then knelt down, raised his head and said without hesitation, "Your Highness, this subordinate can do it."
"Have you figured it out?" Xiao Xu looked at him fixedly.
"My subordinates think very clearly, please make arrangements for your subordinates." Jinxin said in a firm and authentic tone.
If there is another way to repay the master better, no matter how difficult or dangerous it is, he will try it.
Xiao Xu looked at him, and finally smiled lightly, "Okay."
This young man will definitely have a broader future.
