"Look at which other courtyard there is someone, the shadow guard has gone to that other courtyard." Murong Xue accepted Ouyang Shaochen's words with a smile.
"En!" Ouyang Shaochen nodded, his dark eyes flashed with light.
"Then let's find someone quickly!" Murong Xue said softly, leaping onto the roof, her cold eyes quickly scanned the courtyards, and she saw that the courtyards were quiet and empty, with no one in sight...
All of a sudden, the flower branches in a house tilted drastically, as if someone had bumped into them...
The corner of Murong Xue's mouth curled into a graceful arc, and she jumped over, kicking towards the flower branch with lightning speed, only to hear 'bang! ' With a sound, the man in black was kicked, showing his figure, staggering back a few steps before he stood still...
He glared at Murong Xue angrily, the man in black turned around and wanted to leave, but Ouyang Shaochen fell from the sky and blocked his way, Ruyu waved his hand lightly, the black scarf on the man in black's face was blown away by the wind, Showing the face of a middle-aged man...
"It's you!" Murong Xue's eyes widened in surprise: The man was none other than the one she rescued when he had an epileptic seizure. At that time, she also saw that he had been in the army, and thought he It was a young general who was injured and resigned. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a shadow guard.
The middle-aged man's eyes froze, he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and with a touch of his toe, he was about to disappear again, Murong Xue said coldly: "You have been hiding for ten years, how long are you going to hide?"
The middle-aged man paused, lowered his eyelids, and did not speak.
Murong Xue continued: "My father trained you to serve the country. Even if you don't want to go to the battlefield to fight and kill, you can still recover your identity and live the life of ordinary people. What are you doing so evasively? Did you do it? What kind of treason and harm to the people, I have no face to face them... "
"Of course not!" The middle-aged man sternly interrupted her, his eyes and brows were full of arrogance: "Everything our shadow guards do is aboveboard, worthy of the world..."
"Then what are you hiding?" Murong Xue looked at him puzzled.
"We're not dodging, we're just waiting for the young master that General Murong Yue has appointed for us!" The middle-aged man said in a low voice, his eyes serious.
Murong Xue's eyes froze. Before Murong Yue passed away, he had already decided on his next successor: "Who is your young master?"
"I don't know!" The middle-aged man shook his head, his eyes darkened: "The general specifically asked that the person holding the token be the young master, but several of our brothers have been waiting in the capital for ten years, but none of the people holding the token appeared. "
Murong Xue nodded understandingly, looked at him with raised eyebrows and said, "What is the token?"
"This..." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "I can't say..."
Murong Xue: "..."
She spent a lot of time, but she couldn't figure out what the token was. After finally meeting a shadow guard who knew the inside story, she was still unwilling to say...
"If the token is in someone's hands, but he doesn't know it and just throws it somewhere, wouldn't you wait for the young master forever?"
"This... probably not!" The middle-aged man frowned slightly: "General Murong is a prudent person. When he delivered the token, he must have entrusted it on purpose. No matter how stupid the young master is, he would not throw away such an important token. …”
Murong Xue curled her lips: "It's hard to say, if the young master chosen by my father is a child with a poor memory, and I haven't been supervised by my father in the past ten years, then the token might really be thrown into an inconspicuous corner The dust has gone..."
"This..." The middle-aged man frowned tightly, and after a long while, he said in a low voice: "The general specifically asked not to reveal the token to outsiders, and just wait for the young master to come. If the young master really loses the token, If you don't call us anymore, it will be our shadow guard's life, we admit it..."
Murong Xue: "..."
As expected, he came out of the barracks, but he obeyed the general's order, and his mouth was tightly closed, and he couldn't get out any news...
"Where do you usually live?" If you can't ask for tokens, just ask about other things.
"It's near here..." The middle-aged man said lightly, looking at Murong Xue: "Miss just said that General Murong is your father?"
Murong Xue hummed lightly: "I'm Murong Xue!"
"I've seen Missy." The middle-aged man clasped his fists in a respectful tone.
"You don't need to be too polite. In my father's last battle, you will also join the battle!" Murong Xue looked at the middle-aged man indifferently.
The middle-aged man nodded: "Yes, the last battle is Qingyan. The two countries in southern Xinjiang will fight with all their strength, and all the shadow guards will go to the battlefield..."
"Then when my father passed away, were you by his side?" Murong Xue said in a low voice, looking at the middle-aged man without blinking.
The middle-aged man shook his head: "Not here, before the battle, I was ordered by the general to sneak into the Southern Xinjiang barracks with fifty shadow guards, and prepared to burn the food and grass in the southern border. We fought with them, and when we tried our best, we rushed out of the siege of the southern border soldiers, and when we returned to the barracks, Lord Hou's body had already been brought back to the barracks..."
"Then do you know, when my father passed away, there was a shadow guard who stood by his side?" Murong Xue said in a low voice, the dark eyes flashed with light.
The middle-aged man's eyes darkened: "The last battle was very fierce. After the general was seriously injured and left, the shadow guards still stayed on the battlefield to fight with the soldiers from southern Xinjiang. Therefore, when the general passed away, there should be no shadow guards around him. Only the soldiers..."
"Are you sure?" Murong Xue's eyes were cold.
The middle-aged man nodded heavily: "I'm sure, I asked all the shadow guards after the incident, and they didn't stay with the general all the time. When the general passed away, there was absolutely no shadow guard by his side..."
Murong Xue stared at the sky speechlessly, finally found the shadow guard, unexpectedly, the shadow guard did not follow Murong Yue, Murong Yue's death is still a mystery...
Looking up at the middle-aged man, she said calmly: "You just said that only a few of you are left in the capital to wait for the young master. Where are the others?"
"To detoxify and heal the wounds, and some went to find children with good qualifications, prepared to train carefully, and fill the missing shadow guards. After all, the last battle was too fierce. People in southern Xinjiang used poison, and many shadow guards were not afraid of serious injuries. , poisoning..." The middle-aged man said in a low voice, his eyes serious.
Murong Xue nodded understandingly. In the last battle, Qingyan and Nanjiang all gave their all. The shadow guards are also flesh and blood. Fighting among hundreds of thousands of troops, no matter how powerful their martial arts are, they will be poisoned and injured: "You Is it possible to get in touch with them?"
The middle-aged man nodded: "Of course, as long as the humble official sends out a signal, no matter where they are, they will come back as quickly as possible."
