"Come in when you're here." As soon as he reached the door of the royal study, Ying Jiuzhong's voice came from inside and entered Ji You's ears.
"As ordered." After a simple reply, Ji You walked directly into the imperial study room. At this moment, Ji You was wearing a black tight-fitting robe, and there was a black hood on the back of her head. She was completely dressed up.
Assassin's outfit.
But this outfit is not an ordinary one. It is an outfit unique to the royal family and the Shadow Guards. On the chest of this black robe, there is a pattern of black clouds. The emperor of the Yingtian Empire has golden auspicious clouds on his clothes.
, representing the power of the emperor. The costumes of the shadow guards are black clouds, just like the shadows of auspicious clouds in the sky printed on the ground.
"Well, not bad. Judging from your appearance now, you should have recovered from your injuries. At your age, you have reached the Yin realm of Yin Yi, and you are already considered a genius." Ying Jiuzhong looked at Ji You who was wearing a shadow guard costume, and then
He nodded slightly and started to express his appreciation.
"This is also thanks to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty hadn't asked the ghost doctor to take action, Ji You might have been dead at this moment." Ji You was once an emperor. He knew very well what kind of words the emperor liked to hear and what he was thinking in his heart.
.Although everyone is different, he can also make some general guesses.
"Instead of thanking me, you'd better take the time to thank that girl Bingyun. I don't know why, but that girl comes to ask for news about you every three days." After saying this, Ying Jiuzhong's eyes suddenly became sharp.
When he got up, his whole body exuded an aura and pressed towards Ji You.
Ying Jiuzhong's aura was not brought about by his cultivation, but was a natural aura formed by being in a high position for a long time. It was an aura that belonged exclusively to an emperor.
Ji You seemed to feel nothing at this moment, clasping her fists slightly: "Perhaps it is because Ji You blocked the assassin of the Three Talents Realm for Her Royal Highness before, so Her Royal Highness is more concerned about Ji You's safety."
After hearing Ji You's answer, Ying Jiuzhong did not answer immediately. Instead, he stared at Ji You for a while. It was not that there was anything wrong with Ji You's answer, but because this kid was too calm. Ying Jiuzhong was very worried.
He knew exactly how powerful the momentum he had just pressed towards this boy was.
Ordinary Liangyi realms would probably be unable to sustain the momentum he had just now, but Ji You seemed to feel nothing. How could he have imagined that the young man in front of him was once an emperor?
, and he is not an ordinary emperor, so I don’t have much feeling for his momentum.
After being silent for a while, Ying Jiuzhong then spoke: "Okay, I won't say anything more. Since your injury has recovered now, let's go and find out about the Shadow Guard. The next student who will enroll in Yingtian Academy
After three months, Bingyun will enroll directly, but you need to work hard on your own, understand?"
Regarding Ying Jiuzhong's arrangement, Ji You knew the meaning immediately. If she enrolled with Ying Bingyun through the royal family, it would be easy for someone to find out that she was there to protect Ying Bingyun. Therefore, Ying
Jiuchongcai needed to enter Yingtian Academy through regular roads without borrowing the help of the royal family.
Because what Ying Bingyun needs is not overt protection, and Shadow Guards are not meant to do that kind of thing.
You know, if a shadow can be noticed at any time, it is not a shadow...
Shortly after Ying Jiuzhong finished speaking, the man in black that Ji You had seen before came over and said to Ji You in a deep voice: "Follow me." After saying three simple words, Hei
The man in black walked directly outside, and Ji You clasped his fists at Ying Jiuzhong and followed the pace of the man in black.
"May I ask what you call me?" After leaving the study, Ji You said to the man in black walking in front of him, "Now that Ji You and your Excellency are both shadow guards, you should be able to ask this question, right?"
"Who told you that you are now a Shadow Guard?" The man in black suddenly stopped in his tracks, glanced at Ji You, and then said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Ji You's brows instantly wrinkled, a sneer appeared on his face, and he immediately said: "Do you still have the right not to obey your majesty's orders?"
"His Majesty has indeed asked you to become a Shadow Guard, but I am also qualified to decide who should be among the Shadow Guards. Now you are just wearing the clothes of Because, even I don't know whether you can become a real Shadow Guard.
.These three months are not so much waiting for Yingtian Academy to start school, but rather a test for you." The man in black took another step and said as he walked.
"Test?" Ji You was stunned for a moment. Hearing these words, he already understood what the man in black meant. To put it simply, it means that he has not been recognized by this guy, that is, the man in black does not feel that
You can become a Shadow Guard yourself.
"If you want to know how to call me, wait until you become a real shadow guard before asking." After saying this, the man in black said nothing more.
Ji You did not continue to speak, but his eyes changed a little, and there were some different colors in them. Originally, he had not paid much attention to becoming a shadow guard, but at this moment, he had a lot of interest in it.
, at least the attitude of the man in black made Ji You feel a little interesting.
I don’t know how far I walked, but under the leadership of the man in black, Ji You entered the secret passage from behind a rockery in the palace garden. Then I didn’t know how long I walked, and finally found an extremely huge underground space.
Appearing in front of Ji You's eyes, this space was built as if the underground were a city.
If it were made more gorgeous, this place could be used as an underground palace!
But when Ji You saw this underground space, another scene appeared in his mind... the underworld!
Seeing Ji You's expression at this moment, the man in black was not surprised. After all, he had the same reaction when he saw this place for the first time. Therefore, he just said plainly at this moment: "This place was not built by all the previous emperors.
Yes, but when the Yingtian Empire was founded, there was already such an underground space. His Majesty the Emperors of the past dynasties used this place as the base camp of the Shadow Guards, and then continued to improve it to form what it is today."
After hearing the words of the man in black, Ji You nodded slightly. This underground space is really too big. If it were built artificially, I don't know how many years it would have taken to build it into what it is now.
It is indeed a good idea to serve as the base camp of Shadow Guards.
Because no one would have imagined that there would be such a huge space under Noda's palace!
"I think this is not only the base camp of the Shadow Guards, but also a place like a torture chamber and a prison cell, right?" After looking around, Ji You suddenly said.
However, the expression of the man in black did not change, and he simply replied: "That's true, but this is also the responsibility of the Shadow Guards and I, so it's not a strange thing. By the way, I'll tell you, sir.
Some of the Shadow Guards don't usually appear here. When they don't have missions, they are just ordinary people."
"For example, a beggar on the street or a waiter in a tavern may be a shadow guard serving the royal family, right?" Ji You smiled lightly and said directly, "Can't others open it?
"Only those who cannot see clearly or pay attention can become shadows."
"This is just one of them. Sometimes, the more people care about a person, the stronger his shadow can be. Because what others care about is the light on that person's face. The stronger the light, the stronger the shadow for other people.
The less you care about the darkness he hides." For some reason, when the man in black heard what Ji You said before, he became somewhat interested and spoke to Ji You.
"Is this the newcomer?" At this moment, a strong man also wearing the black robe of the Shadow Guard walked over to where Ji You and the man in black were.
Seeing this strong man, the man in black said directly: "Since you are here, I will leave this boy to you. I have other things to do so I won't stay here any longer." After saying this, the man in black said
He just stepped forward, walking faster and faster and leaving this place.
At this moment, Ji You faced the strong man in black robes who had walked in front of him, cupped his fists and said, "What do you call me, sir?"
"Don't talk about being an adult or not. We are all brothers if we are Shadow Guards. My title is Lie. The Shadow Guards all use their own titles to commensurate with each other. You only need to call me Lie." The title is Lie.
The strong man is different from the previous man in black. He looks a bit rough and arrogant, and his personality is also straightforward.
"That's okay, Brother Lie, you don't know what I should do at this moment?" Although the man in black brought Ji You here, he did not tell Ji You what to do. And before the guy left, he also said that he would
It was left to Lie, so Ji You naturally asked Lie what he should do at the moment.
"If you didn't remind me, I almost forgot. As I said before, because they are all commensurate with their respective titles, what you need to do is naturally to get your own title, and this requires doing three things... Now like this
"I can't tell you clearly, just come with me." As soon as he finished speaking, Lie turned around and walked in one direction.
Ji You looked at Lie walking in front of her, smiled lightly, shook her head, and then immediately followed...
