Shi Qi covered his cheeks that were swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye and asked, "Does Missy's engagement have anything to do with whether I can be her bodyguard?"
Shi Qi admitted that he felt a little empty when he heard that the eldest lady had a marriage contract.
However, this doesn't seem to affect him as a guard!
"You are not..." Hu Tong led the words to his lips, not knowing what to say.
"Me what?"
To be honest, Commander Hu's slap didn't use all his strength, but it still made Shi Qi's head a little dazed.
Even Lan Yanming noticed something was wrong!
Do you have to have some extravagant thoughts if you want to be his sister's guard
It seems not necessarily, right
He glared at Commander Hu, because he found that his train of thought seemed to have been distorted by Commander Hu's slap just now!
"Why do you want to be Yanlin's guard?"
"It was the eldest lady who brought me back to the Lan Mansion. I have admitted and promised before that I will be her bodyguard to protect her in the future!"
Lan Yanming asked, "When did it happen?"
"About... like ten years ago!"
"Okay, I understand, you go down!" Lan Yanming waved his hand, signaling the two to back down, "I will seriously consider your request."
After leaving the attic, the two of them were silent for a long time, Commander Hu asked a little embarrassedly: "Seventeen, does your face still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore!"
"You have a good rest!" Commander Hu was always embarrassed to say the words of apology.
The first snow in winter in Yiyang City came unexpectedly.
Stepping on the snow layer and watching the snow falling like goose feathers, Shi Qi entered the eldest son's attic again.
Looking at the eldest son, Shi Qi felt uneasy. He went back and stroked it carefully, and finally realized that his request was a little rash.
But now that the words have been spoken, he will not regret it.
After all, that was his promise.
"Seventeen, you can be Yanlin's bodyguard!" The eldest son said straight to the point.
Through the reports of his subordinates, Lan Yanming already understood the reason why Shiqi wanted to be his sister's bodyguard.
Shi Qi was a little excited: "Really? Young Master?"
"Do I need to lie to you?" Lan Yanming asked back.
"Thank you, my lord!"
"Don't thank me first, I have conditions, you listen first before making a choice!"
"Okay!" Shi Qi tried hard to suppress his excitement, "Sir, please tell me!"
It was beyond his expectation to become the eldest lady's guard so smoothly.
"With your talent, if you are only acting as Yanlin's guard, you are really overqualified. If people from other families know about it, they will laugh at our Lan family for ruining a genius!" Lan Yanming looked at Shiqi and said seriously, " I hope you join the Blue Shadow Guard!"
Blue Shadow Guard
Seventeen This is the second time I've heard about Blue Shadow Guard.
"What is the Blue Shadow Guard?"
"The Blue Shadow Guard is a semi-secret force of our Lan family. Few people know about it. In addition to protecting the safety of the Lan family members, the Blue Shadow Guard also needs to eliminate all enemies that threaten our Lan family!" Lan Yanming He said in a low voice, "The Blue Shadow Guard only obeys the Patriarch's orders. In recent years, my father has gradually handed over the Blue Shadow Guard to me. You are very suitable to join."
"Do you want to?"
"The subordinates are willing!"
Lan Yanming nodded in satisfaction, at least Shi Qi was his man.
"Later, Xinyue will take you to get three sets of clothes and waist badges. After you put them on, she will take you to Yanlin, and she will tell Yanlin that you were arranged by me." Lan Yanming gave a piece of jade pendant Pass it to Shiqidao, "Don't forget to take this jade pendant to Chuan Gong Pavilion today to get a copy of Huang-level high-grade exercises and Xuan-level low-grade martial arts. Just hand over the jade pendant to him, and as for your entry into the Blue Shadow Guard, someone will look for you tomorrow night."
Before Shiqi left, Lan Yanming also said: "Shiqi, Yanlin's marriage was arranged by my father himself. You must protect her well while she is still in Lanfu."
Shi Qi understood other meanings contained in the eldest son's words.
Xinyue was the maid whom Seventeen saw in the attic yesterday. She had a high status among the servants of the Lan Mansion.
Shi Qi has a good impression of her, and thinks she is very enthusiastic, without the arrogance of being Lan Yanming's personal maid, and always has a smile on her face, which makes people feel very kind.
Along the way, she introduced to Shi Qi the general situation in Lan Mansion and the place names and routes that needed to be remembered, and Shi Qi silently memorized them.
The guard uniforms of the Lan family are all black, and there is also a set of black close-fitting leather armor on the upper body.
After putting on the protective uniform, Xinyue looked at Shiqi with a smile and said, "Put on this outfit, it looks quite masculine!"
Seventeen didn't know how to answer.
"Seventeen, is there any girl you like in the Lan Mansion? If so, you can tell your sister. My sister has served the eldest son for several years, and she still has some face in the Lan Mansion!" Xinyue whispered, "Even if it is The one you like is a girl from the collateral line of the Lan family, and my sister can also match you for you! How about it, do you like anyone?"
"Sister Xinyue, I'm still young."
"Still young? How small?" Xinyue said in a slightly teasing tone, "You are almost fifteen, you are not too young, my sister told you, if you meet a girl you like, you must act quickly, otherwise The beautiful ones are picked up by others!"
Seventeen could only lower his head in embarrassment.
Xinyue smiled and stopped talking about it. Shi Qi was still young and thin-skinned, so he might get angry if he said it.
"It's easier to work with the eldest lady, because the eldest lady has been in poor health since she was a child, and she rarely goes out. You have to continue to practice hard in your spare time!"
"Okay!" Seventeen promised.
"That's good!" Xinyue continued, "In the past few years, there are not many young warriors who can be favored by the eldest son. Don't let him live up to his expectations of you."
"Um!"
Shi Qi thought for a while and asked, "Sister Xinyue, can I ask Missy why she is not in good health?"
Xinyue said in a low voice: "It is said that her meridians are congenitally imperfect, and there is basically no cure for it. However, the eldest lady has a good temper, treats people kindly, and will not be harsh on the servants. Many servants in the Lan Mansion respect her very much."
"Who is the young lady's fiancé?"
"The young master of the Chen family of Bright Sword City!" Xinyue whispered with some dissatisfaction.
Ming Jiancheng, Seventeen has heard that in Nanyun Kingdom, Ming Jiancheng is also a well-known top-level family just like the Lan family.
The young master of the Chen family in Sword City of Ming Dynasty
Thinking of the eldest son Lan Yanming, Shi Qi had to admit that the other party should be a good match for the eldest lady!
The Missy's courtyard should have been filled with many flowers and plants before, but unfortunately when winter came, most of them became dead branches and leaves, covered with a layer of snow.
Only in the corner, a plum blossom bloomed alone, exuding a faint fragrance.
