Chapter 115: Shadow Guard (2-in-1)
Chapter 115: Shadow Guard (2-in-1)
After a brief meeting, Xu Yan and Wu Fa walked out of the prison without making any radical moves.
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department of this order finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if an existence like Xu Yan really started to rob the camp, even if it was himself, he would not have the slightest way.
At that time, the main fault will certainly be on His Royal Highness the King of Renyu, but his own sin will definitely be confirmed.
He didn't want to see such a thing happen, and in the same way, after reaching this point, he was more cautious about his life, how dare he have any other thoughts.
Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Yu is not so stupid, and the state he showed at this time is not bad, he knows very well that His Royal Highness will definitely try his best to rescue Wu Tian, but as long as he doesn't do something on his own territory, then it has nothing to do with himself.
His idea is actually very simple, it's not about himself, it's just hanging high, but now, this is the best way, getting involved in such a thing is not a good thing for him, the secretary of the criminal department.
It was Xu Yan's statement that ordered Nazhongshu Province to finish this matter very quickly, in fact, the evidence was conclusive, and even Wu Tian himself admitted it, and there was no way to overturn the result of this matter.
The law of this Great Qin is still very strict, and at this point, even if it is a prince and grandson, if he wants to violate the majesty of this law, he will hit a stone with an egg.
Of course, these are all on the surface, this world is like this, nobles, always nobles, things that are difficult for ordinary people to get, in the eyes of nobles, a little means, this is not very difficult.
At this point, in fact, no matter what era is, even if the world shouts every day that there is no distinction between each other, the entire human race is still divided into three, six, nine and so on.
And in this boundless continent where strength is respected, it is naturally even more so, things that are difficult for others to do, Xu Yan is the same, but it is not very difficult to carry out the irreversible things on the surface.
On the surface, Zhongshu Province gave Wu Tian a death sentence very happily, which was already a certainty, and naturally no one had anything to say.
And secretly, Xu Yan went to the province and hung a death row prisoner in the prison who belonged to Wu Tian, causing Wu Tian to commit suicide in fear of crime, which was a difficult thing to do, and it was solved by Xu Yan in a roundabout way.
Even, no one was speechless, after all, now, Wu Tian had subdued the law, no matter what, this matter was completely over.
Even if some people know in their hearts that things are not so simple, it is difficult to do it, and really expose a dignified king? No one is clean under their buttocks, in such a situation, unless you really want to break the net and cause others to pick up ready-made, then report it.
He Xu Yan will suffer, and even Wu Tian will still die, but as long as there is a slight violation of the law, he will definitely be turned upside down.
No one would do this kind of stupid thing, so even if he knew that Xu Yan was violating the law by doing this, and even secretly saved one of Wu Tian's lives, he would never dare to say anything.
At least, he Xu Yan didn't challenge the rules by example, which was enough.
At this point, I have to say that Xu Yan did a very beautiful job.
Whether it is the Zhongshu Province, or the Criminal Department, or even the officials in the prison of the Criminal Department, he Xu Yan has given enough benefits, and he still looks like he is just an ordinary person.
That kind of feeling, these departments of Ling are very useful, after all, people are the dignified King Qin Yu, and it is already very remarkable to be able to do things like this, in such a situation, who else dares to really say something?
Even, just because of this incident, Xu Yan's reputation in officialdom has improved.
After all, a prince who is not arrogant at all, no matter where he goes, will still be popular, and at this point, Xu Yan is doing a very good job, and he will never look high because of his identity.
In fact, such a character is Xu Yan's advantage, and it is also the benefit of living on earth.
In his eyes, there is actually no difference between people, isn't it all one nose and two eyes? Even if some have cultivation talent and some don't, the fact that everyone is human can never be changed.
Why do nobles have to be superior to others? Could it be that they are just superior in their own cultivation talents? Everyone is the same when they are born, and when they die, they will also turn into a pile of dry bones, and in this regard, there is no difference.
When Xu Yan returned to the palace and was about to leave to salute, finally, a black-robed man appeared by his side.
This person was holding a very strange-looking long sword in his hand, the entire scabbard was wrapped in rags, and the black clothes on his body also looked very dilapidated, and his whole face was covered by the black cloth, revealing a pair of eyes.
Seeing this person coming, Wu Fa, who was still packing his luggage next to him, became very excited.
However, at this time, he did not say a word, because he knew very well in his heart that even in this palace, it would not be completely safe.
Before the new director returned, even his own master couldn't do these things completely, the capital, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, what kind of masters, what kind of talents, but they were all endless.
When Xu Yan beckoned into the secret room, Wu Fa's feelings were completely vented.
"Big brother?" "What he tried to no avail, he was given by his own master.
The eldest brother, who was almost certain of death in his heart, stood in front of him alive at this time, no matter what point, it was a real surprise for him.
The master of his own family really values love and righteousness, especially for his brother, this is completely speechless, even if he does such a thing, for Xu Yan, it is still a big risk, but he still did it, and did it without hesitation.
His eldest brother can come out alive, even if he doesn't have the identity of Wu Tian before, this is already a big profit for him, no matter what, this time, he owes him.
"Fa'er! But at that moment, when he saw his own brother with teary eyes, this Wu Tian did not move in any way.
Even began to reprimand in a cold voice.
For a moment, Wu Fa was a little unacceptable, his whole eyes were full of incredulity, and he was even more overwhelmed when he looked at his brother.
"The subordinate black-robed man was ordered to come to meet the lord. Before Wu Fa could react, Wu Tian in the black robe knelt down at Xu Yan without hesitation.
He is indeed very fond of family affection, but he knows when to do something.
Reminiscing, this may be very eager in his own heart, but with his own lord in front of him, how can he take care of one and lose the other, and enjoy the joy of reunion at this time?
Family affection is certainly greater than heaven in Wu Tian's heart, but loyalty is also the thing he feels most needs to realize now.
Xu Yan in front of him, no matter what he does, he can be said to be his dearest lord, since he is a subordinate, he must have what he should have, even if it is these things that Xu Yan regards as red tape.
Wu Tian, like Wu Fa, is a very stubborn person, and it is precisely because of this stubbornness that he has grown slowly along the way, even if he makes a mistake in the middle, and even if this mistake is unforgivable in the eyes of the imperial court, he has never regretted his choice.
It's just like he is now, and it is the same when he chooses Xu Yan to be his master, without Xu Yan, there would be no Wu Fa today, and similarly, without Xu Yan, there would be no Wu Tian today.
"Why bother! Since I accepted you, then you and I are our own people, how can we need such red tape between our own people?" Xu Yan sighed lightly.
Although he said this, he also knew in his heart that a stubborn person like Wu Tian, even if he was himself, would not be able to convince him, at this point, no matter what kind of existence, it would be the case.
What's more, now I am only a black-robed man, and I am no longer the Wu Tian who was ordered to be executed. Wu Tian was very serious.
Again, this is what he feels most important in his heart to show.
No matter what he will face in the future, Wu Tian's identity will not be available until the lord is not fully in power, and once half a word is revealed, it is very likely to bring trouble to the master.
A man as loyal as he would never have done such a thing.
Even if it is a sprout, it will not work.
Therefore, at such a time, even if he has countless words to say to his younger brother in his heart, he will also find his position, at least, he will not do it until the master allows it.
"Black-robed man, it's strange to call you. Xu Yanrao said meaningfully.
He knew very well what the purpose of the other party was when he said this sentence at this time, and he did not object, after all, there are many things that even he may not be able to think through.
Just like now, before him, after saving the other party, he just wanted him to be under his command and used it for his own use.
As for how to use it and what kind of position he will be given, this is something that Xu Yan did not think about before.
But now, he found his position as soon as possible, and in such an environment, Xu Yan naturally fully understood the other party's thoughts.
He wanted to be his own guard, a guard other than Zongwei, and likewise, a guard hidden in the shadows.
In this way, you can protect yourself very thoroughly, not to mention, but also be able to take it by surprise, and you can't use it until the critical moment, but once you use it, even if you die, you must protect yourself.
"Black-robed man, from today onwards, you will be called a shadow, not only my shadow guard, but also the shadow of Wu Fa. Can you understand what I mean?" Xu Yan said this very seriously, and in an instant, whether it was the black-clothed Wu Tian or Wu Fa behind him, his eyes were full of incredulity.
It's a very simple sentence, but the meaning contained in it is difficult for them to imagine.
The guard, such a person, can be said to be the most trusted person of the master, and at the most critical moment, he can protect the life of the lord.
It can be said that unless they are completely trusted, or even no longer distinguish between each other, otherwise, the average prince will never be recruiting guards.
After all, among the royal family, Zongwei is enough, and it is one thing to recruit those guards, and it is one thing to be uneasy, and more importantly, there is not much need.
However, Xu Yan just took Wu Tian under his command as the guard, and it was not on the surface.
What kind of trust is this? Even Wu Tian didn't expect that his eldest brother would be so valued by His Royal Highness.
You must know that in the Great Qin, once those sect guards really follow the lord and become that kind of throne, they will definitely be able ministers in the future.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the pillar of the country, under one person, above ten thousand.
Now there are eight of the ten great marquis of Great Qin, and they were born to be the sect guards of today's saints.
These are all Zongwei on the bright side, generally, the guards hidden in the dark can even be trusted more than those on the bright side, and sure enough, his eldest brother has reached the sky overnight, and he is a little powerful.
However, that is his eldest brother, and he is also the person he really respects, and he does have such qualifications, at this point, as a younger brother, Wu Fa still does not have the slightest jealousy, and will only be happy for his eldest brother.
It's just that what His Highness said, as his own shadow, what is going on? Could it be that His Highness has other plans that can't be achieved?
"I investigated, you are majoring in dark exercises, not to mention bloodthirsty, and you are good at secretly acting in assassination, and such specifications, there will be no possibility of not being exposed at all, once exposed, you will be Wu Fa, remember?"
"From now on, your two brothers share the same identity, and they happen to be twins, and they look exactly the same, so that you will not see the light of day forever. Xu Yan considered things quite comprehensively.
Since Wu Tian no longer has that identity, he must find a new identity for him.
"You, are you saying that I won't go this time?" Obviously, Wu Fa also understood Xu Yan's words.
Once Xu Yan wants to take Wu Tian with him, he will either hide it completely, or he will only take it openly.
There are benefits to being above board, especially at times like these, and there is a strong hole card for surprise.
However, he still wanted to follow his master to make a contribution, but when he thought about it, it was his eldest brother who went with his master, so he didn't say anything.
Why should the two brothers divide each other? They don't separate each other, how much more so is this their eldest brother?
"You and I also have important things for you to do, and now, on the surface, as soon as you go to that place with me, many things are implemented in secret, which is naturally more smooth. Xu Yan said without hesitation.
Don't think that it would be a good thing to go to the gold digging cave with him, he has a more important task to hand over to Wu Fa in front of him.
Moreover, before the group of people in the Western Regions did not return, there were not many people that Xu Yan could trust, and it was the best way to have Wu Fa in secret, and even to perform some unspeakable tasks.
"What?" Wu Fa was a little confused, and he couldn't imagine what this highness would tell him to do.
"Everything I want you to do is in the jade slip I left, and when we leave, you are opening it, remember, after reading it, it must be burned immediately, and no third party shall know. Even your other brothers. Xu Yan said quite seriously.
Obviously, the stakes are too high to be missed.
"You two will have a good gathering in this secret room! I'll go out first, remember, tomorrow morning, the shadow guards will change into Wu Fa's clothes and come with me! And Wu Fa, I will give you that matter, only success and no failure. Xu Yan glanced at the two brothers.
Knowing that these two people must have something to say, they didn't interfere or anything, and walked out of the secret room.
At this time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew very well that the reason why he was able to rescue successfully this time was that his identity as the king of Yu still had a deterrent effect.
The old man has already shown his great expectations and favor, if he can't even do this, there is no need for him, the king, to continue to do it.
He clearly knew that in this matter, within an hour, someone would write everything down into jade slips and put them on the shore today, but Xu Yan didn't care.
Illegal operation, this seems to be a big deal, but, in the eyes of any prince, it is nothing, doing it yourself, has given enough face to the criminal department and the Chinese book, if they can still not be relented, their own king, but also not vegetarian.
"I don't bring a Zongwei, except for the shadow guard, the people I brought this time, no one may be able to trust, hehe, this is really a big challenge!
In his eyes, where there is danger, there is life.
If there are challenges, then you can be more motivated.
What about the danger, what about the challenge, even if it is difficult to fight against the intrigue, do you have to give up?
Ever since he set that goal, he had never thought of giving up anything, even if it would be extremely difficult along the way, and even his life might be lost.
But even so, what should it be? Husband, shouldn't it be like this?
