Need for a Guard

Lei Dong never imagined how dilapidated the den of thieves that Shi Yue was talking about would be.

It was a lonely thatched house in a slum area in the southern suburbs. The house was crooked and heavy, and it seemed that it could be blown away by just a gust of wind.

Through the broken windows, dim candlelight flickered faintly inside.

"Is this a den of thieves?" Lei Dong stood outside, looking at this inconspicuous hut, but he didn't have the reckless air corresponding to the nouveau riche.

Lei Dong saw it strangely, so he took three steps forward.

"Come back, it's dangerous!" Shi Yue pulled Lei Dong back.

At the same time, more than a dozen sharp long arrows with fangs came, whistling past Lei Dong's face with cold power.

call!

Lei Dong was really stunned by the extraordinary aura of the long arrow, it was not fired by manpower, it was fired by a crossbow.

He never thought that this dilapidated thatched house was so toughly arranged. Although it looked inconspicuous, it was as unbreakable as a copper wall and iron frame.

At this time, Lei Dong was full of strong curiosity about the mysterious person in the thatched cottage.

Shi Yue smiled mysteriously: "Brother Lei, don't rush in. Even if I break in at will like that, I'm close to death. Just follow me obediently."

Lei Dong followed closely behind Shi Yue's buttocks, afraid of being pierced by random arrows, and faintly felt that the route Shi Yue was walking should be a mysterious gossip formation.

If you take one more step or one less step, you will definitely touch the formation.

With a short distance of ten feet, Shi Yue and Lei Dong walked for a full stick of incense, and when Lei Dong stood in front of the grass gate, he was already sweating nervously.

Even when he had just assassinated Hong Shan, he had never been so worried.

Shi Yue opened the door surrounded by broken grass, smiled mysteriously, and gestured to invite you into the urn.

Lei Dong felt uneasy at the moment, and felt the excitement of going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers to enter the treasure house. He took a deep breath, and then slowly walked into the dark room.

After passing through the outer hall and walking to the door of the room, when he saw the person on the kang, he couldn't help being stunned.

"The emperor..."

Lei Dong hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed and said: "Lei Dong, the soldier and horse of the five cities, kowtow... kowtow to the emperor." He never dreamed that the little emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom would appear in this panic-stricken hut.

The sudden accident made Lei Dong, who was used to seeing the big world, a little flustered.

"General Lei, don't worry too much, let's get back down!"

The little emperor Yanjing smiled sternly, and showed a rare majesty. Seeing Lei Dong respecting him so much, he felt quite refreshed!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lei Dong stood up and let out a mouthful.

Although he took up the post of Army Commander of the Five Cities, he could only be guarded at the outer gate of the palace, and he had no chance to enter the palace, and the number of times he met Yanjing was also very few.

He glanced around, only to find Bai Mochou and Eunuch Sun standing in the corner of the room.

The prosperous Eunuch Mao, the mysterious and unpredictable Xiao Guizi, and the boss Wang Steward of Xiong's Mansion, all lined up on both sides, looking at him curiously.

"Your Majesty... this is it?" Lei Dong looked at Shi Yue, his mind was terrified and confused, and he couldn't react.

"General Lei, please sit down! Since you can enter this hut, you are one of your own, and there is no need to be polite when you are with your own."

Yan Jing pointed to a small maza in the corner, and asked Lei Dong to sit down with a calm and sincere tone.

"My... my own?" Lei Dong became more and more anxious.

Yan Jing knew that since Lei Dong was able to enter the house, he must have passed Shi Yue's test, and he must have the certificate of honor in his hand.

Seeing Lei Dong sitting anxiously in the corner, Yan Jing didn't hide his secrets, stood up, paced, and said straight to the point: "General Lei, don't be surprised, although I am the supreme emperor, but in some big bosses In his eyes, he sees it as dung, at least, that's what Lord Protector Kang and Great Prime Minister Xiao Yan have in mind."

"These rebels think that I am stubborn, evil and dirty, and even regard me as a fool, playing with me in the palm of their hands, frantically trying to usurp the beautiful country of Yanyan, but I want to tell them: They are wrong, they Big mistake!"

The more Yan Jing spoke, the more angry she became. At the end, she raised her eyebrows and almost shouted.

"Your Majesty, you..." Lei Dong's face flushed red, and he opened his mouth in embarrassment—before he entered the thatched cottage, he had such naive thoughts.

Yan Jing frantically moved around, interrupting Lei Dong's questioning, and said excitedly: "I came to the throne when I was a child, and I had no one to rely on. There were powerful ministers outside, and the emperor's relatives usurped the power inside. I was just a humble duckweed. I endured the humiliation. Cultivating the mind and pretending to be dull, I have survived to this day, but my mind is as hard as iron, and I have never given up on this big swallow's beautiful country, never!"

Yan Jing ignored Lei Dong's dumbfounded, and said hysterically: "I waited until today, and finally hoped for an excellent opportunity to reshape Dayan."

Yanjing pulled over Shi Yue, Bai Mochou, San Mao and others.

Pointing at them, he said emotionally: "Shi Yue is full of wisdom, courage and tenacity. Leading the Baijian battalion, he is alone; Bai Yushi, the head of the hundred officials, is a seasoned planner, familiar with classics and history, stubborn and tyrannical, dares to confront Kang Shanzhen and Xiao Yan, although he is powerful, he is loyal and diligent to Dayan."

"With these three people as the starting point to help me consolidate the Great Yanjiang Mountains, and with the help of Steward Wang, Eunuch Sun, Xiao Guizi and others, I don't believe that we can't let those who steal the country be caught without a fight, and revitalize the flowers left by our ancestors Jiangshan?"

Yanjing said these words of pointing Jiangshan with vigor and eloquence, her heart was surging, her face twitched, and her shoulders trembled violently.

He looked back at dusk, his eyes were full of light, he looked at Lei Dong who was also full of excitement on his face, and said word by word: "I have great ambitions, and I am thirsty for talents. Pengcheng thousands of miles, slam Fang Qiu?"

After finishing speaking, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he stared straight at Lei Dong, the earnestness in those eyes was touching and soul-stirring.

Shi Yue, Eunuch Sun, and San Mao also looked at Lei Dong, with anticipation in their eyes.

Lei Dong's shoulders twitched, tears filled his eyes with excitement, he got up and walked in front of Yan Jing, and knelt down on the ground with a plop: "Although I am young, I joined the army at the age of 15. After going through the pain of the Northern Expedition, I was shocked by the might of Yan's army. The emperor has returned to heaven, Dayan is in turmoil, and the tigers are fighting for supremacy without end!"

"My army is reckless, and I don't have a clear lord. I can only indulge in sensuality to relieve my worries. I didn't expect the emperor's grace to be so powerful. The emperor is so young, but he has the might of the emperor. Lei Dong is ecstatic, dare not swear to die Suit? Even though I am heartbroken, I have no complaints or regrets!"

After saying that, he kowtowed heavily to Yanjing three times!
