…
many years ago.
The extraordinary grandeur of Lord Yunyang's mansion is also related to the fact that Yunyang Territory is really rich in financial resources. Even, every son of Lord Yunyang has his own guard. The source of the guard members is basically the servants who are loyal to the lord, or the talented elite who are homeless.
The latter is more complicated. Those who are really powerful usually don't work for anyone, but take the position of "Guest Minister" in the Lord's Mansion. Only those who lack strength and have nowhere to go will choose to become a member of the guard. It seems that they are all working for the lord, but the actual situation is very different. The guest is the guest, and the guard is the servant.
On a snowy night, the housekeeper of Yunyang Lord's Mansion picked up a little girl on the wasteland.
She looked young, with a sallow and thin complexion, and was covered with large and small wounds all over her body.
"My God, who the hell did it... cut a half-sized doll into this shape with a knife..."
That day, the little girl was led into the Lord's Mansion.
As an ordinary servant.
The housekeeper said that the lord's mansion has no shortage of servants. If you want to stay, you have to practice hard and strive to become a member of the guard.
The little girl clumsily held the sword, chopping and slashing again and again, practicing day after day.
However, on the day when the lord's children chose their own guards, the skinny little girl stood in an inconspicuous corner holding a sword, and no one cared about it from beginning to end. She really wanted to show those people the calluses she had made on her palms, and she really wanted to tell them that she was practicing with all her strength every day, and that she would be useful one day.
And he can wash clothes, cook, and chop wood to make a fire.
I am not a useless oil bottle.
But no one paid any attention to her, no one listened to her.
She tried to pull the hem of a big brother who was much taller than her, and said hesitantly:
"That, I..."
What I got was the other party's presumptuous laughter.
She remembered that the lord's son leaned over, pinched her chin, and looked at her carefully.
At that time, due to long-term malnutrition and hard training, the little girl was short in stature, with dark eye circles, disheveled hair, and a smell of vegetable leaves on her body. The young man let go of his hand, snorted coldly, and kicked her to the ground.
"It's fine if your sword skills are poor, and you're so ugly... You don't even have the qualifications to be a plaything. Get out! Get out of our lord's mansion, trash... Remember, don't pester me anymore, my subordinate of Li Yi I don't keep such an unappetizing thing as you."
The little girl clutched her lower abdomen that had been kicked upside down, and tried her best not to cry.
Because the housekeeper said that girls don't look good when they cry.
But it's so uncomfortable, really... so uncomfortable...
The heart seemed to be clenched, and every breath brought great pain.
Sitting in a muddy corner, she watched the people in the martial arts training ground exuberant.
Those selected members of the guard walked past her with smug smiles.
Those laughing voices didn't have any taboo at all.
"Look... I knew..."
"It's just a wild species that you picked up. Do you want to fight us for a job?"
"If you recognize the reality, you should get out quickly. Hahaha... being scolded by the lord's eldest son for such a virtue, I really don't know what shame I have to stay here!!"
"Hey, little one, why didn't you practice your sword today? Can you split the stake? Hahahaha—"
All the people are smiling.
All are smiley faces.
Everyone was looking at him with mocking eyes.
Even the housekeeper who picked her up at the beginning backed away when she saw this scene.
Just kidding... Can you continue to stay in the Yunyang Lord's Mansion if you dirty the eyes of that Lord Liyi
Who doesn't know that the eldest son, Li Yi, is the future Lord of Yunyang...
The little girl hugged the sword in her arms tightly, shrank into a small ball, tears fell into the dirt.
If you don't look good, you won't look good, anyway, no one will like you.
Then cry. It's better to cry...
All of a sudden, she seemed to feel that the voices of discussion around her gradually subsided.
In the silence, the little girl opened her eyes blurred by tears and looked in front of her.
A guard who was talking about her just now was kicked to the ground by a boy about her age.
The people around did not dare to take a breath.
She watched the boy walk towards her, and vaguely heard the discussion from the side.
"Fourth son..."
"What is the fourth son going to do?"
The little girl looked at him timidly, and at the boy who was walking towards her, shrank back, afraid of being kicked again.
But the luxuriously dressed boy squatted down, with a playful smile, and said casually:
"Want to follow me?"
She remembered that the discussions of people around her were like boiling water.
"Fourth Young Master, she is nothing but a waste! It would be too inappropriate for such a person to serve as a bodyguard!"
"That's right, Fourth Young Master, which one of us is better than her?!"
"I volunteer to join your bodyguard, please..."
The little girl's mood suddenly fell again.
Yeah, I'm just...
The boy turned his head just like that, with a warm smile, and said softly:
"I, Li De, do things and don't need you to teach me."
He put his expensive coat on the little girl's dirty body.
A warmth seeped from the little girl's back.
He smiled and stretched out his hand to the little girl in front of him in a panic.
"From now on, you will be my only guard in Lide. Hold your sword firmly, and I will grant you the title of knight from now on!... Carry out your loyalty until the last moment."
After speaking, he turned around and waited for a while.
The little girl stood up unsteadily, and followed quickly.
That day she took the fourth son's clothes and walked a long way.
That day she told a stranger her name for the first time.
Its name is... Alayah.
Many years later, Alaiya became the most beautiful girl in the lord's mansion. Except for her thinner breasts, her beauty and figure steadily crushed the harem beauties of the lord Yunyang's father and son's family. Her sword skills are becoming more and more crisp and sharp, with a faint sense of inscrutability. Anyone can see that if she continues to grow like this, she will probably be the most outstanding young swordsman in Yunyang territory. But Li De, who took her away back then, lived the life of a son-in-law every day, and his reputation in Yunyang Territory went from bad to worse.
Everyone said that this young dandy did not deserve such a good guard.
Li De's eldest brother, the eldest son Li Yi, also thinks so.
So one night, the eldest son called Alaya to his room, smiled and offered her various benefits and guarantees.
"My younger brother can't inherit the position of lord, but I can. From now on, you will be the hostess of Yunyang, with endless money and countless treasures. You don't have to take risks anymore, and you don't have to fight people desperately... Look, let such a beautiful woman be a mere bodyguard, what does my younger brother think! Alaya, I assure you, from now on, I will—”
As he spoke, he put his hand on Alaya's shoulder.
Alaya slapped him across the face.
It was the first time in her life that she cursed at someone so far, she clumsily imitated her young master, and replied to Mr. Liyi:
"I can fuck you."
