Cheng Bingling smiled: "Don't think about it, Bai Xueyao's writing "Dream of Red Mansions" became popular because of the aura of the protagonist. Otherwise, how could she be popular with this writing. Besides, in the novel, apart from "Dream of Red Mansions", she "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" are not missing, and they will be published one after another. If I write it, maybe she will sue me for plagiarism and infringement."

Shang Jinnan smiled, disapproving.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Kageichi's voice came from outside the door:
"master."

"Come in."

Ying Yi pushed open the door, entered the room, cupped his fists and said: "Your subordinate will refer to the master." He looked up at Cheng Bingling, and said nothing.

Shang Jinnan smiled and said, "Yingyi, it's okay, she's one of my own."

Cheng Bingling was sitting on a chair with her chin propped up. Hearing Shang Jinnan's words, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

After Yingyi heard the words, he stopped talking and immediately reported his achievements in the past few days to Shang Jinnan: "The subordinates have found about thirty three-to-four-year-old lonely and helpless children. Placed in a remote place outside the city. The subordinates have formulated a series of training plans, and they will definitely be trained to become your most loyal dead servants, master." He took out a small book from his sleeve and handed it respectfully to Shang Jinnan: "Master, please take a look."

Shang Jinnan took the small book from Yingyi's hand, Cheng Bingling was also very curious, and leaned forward to look at the small book, the training content written in it was very detailed.

Shang Jinnan looked at Yingyi and said, "According to this plan, it will take several years to train someone who belongs to me, right?"

Ying Yi replied: "It depends on their aptitude. The subordinates have calculated that if it is fast, it will take five years, and if it is slow, it will take ten years."

Cheng Bingling frowned after hearing this and said: "This is too slow. Can't we just find some people with high martial arts skills?" In five years, it is too easy for accidents to happen. Only by establishing your own power will you be safe.

Ying Yi said: "It's very difficult. People with high martial arts skills are used to being free and have their own personalities. It's not convenient for us to manage, and their loyalty is not high. At the same time, to attract them to join us, we must have enough deterrence. For example, like Shang Shaoyong, the famous God of War, Shang Shaoyong made friends with various martial arts masters on weekdays.

"Also, even if they are willing to submit, their actions are too eye-catching. I'm afraid it will attract the attention of all parties, which is a bad thing for us." Ying Yi continued to analyze: "Three to four-year-old children are different, we We can train their loyalty from a young age, and the people selected by the subordinates are all good materials for martial arts, I believe that over time, they can become loyal and reliable shadows."

"Hmm..." Cheng Bingling understood that what Yingyi said was right, but he was a little uncomfortable in his heart. In modern times, children aged three to four are still in a naive and romantic stage. Now, these children have to practice martial arts hard. Die for yourself.

Cheng Bingling, who came from a peaceful era, felt that these children were a bit pitiful no matter what he thought.

Shang Jinnan reached out to hold Cheng Bingling's hand, Cheng Bingling looked over in surprise, Shang Jinnan smiled at her: "Don't worry." He looked at Yingyi and said: "Yingyi, your analysis is very reasonable, although it is So, but I don’t think we can wait as long as five years given our current situation. Yingyi, I believe you don’t understand our situation. With your ability, I believe you must have a second plan. Yeah?"

"Master is wise, this subordinate does have a second plan." Ying Yi said, "I wonder if master knows the unspoken rules of our shadow guards?"

"Oh?" Shang Jinnan raised his eyebrows and made a "please" gesture: "I would like to hear more about it."

Shadow One said: "We have a total of ten Shadow Guards. From Shadow One to Shadow Ten represent the strength of our abilities. Besides the ten of us, there are thousands of backup shadows behind us. They don't have numbers. We train silently in the training camp. Our shadow guards hold an internal selection every year. First, the top ten will be determined from the shadows, and then we will fight against us. The winner will replace the number of the loser. After there are ten victors, the ranking of these ten shadow guards will be re-evaluated and the number will be updated. Every year, the old shadow guards will be kicked out by the new shadow guards and replaced."

"Wow, aren't you under a lot of pressure?" Cheng Bingling was fascinated by what she heard, and she couldn't help sighing, this survival of the fittest, natural selection competition system is really cruel!

Ying Yi said: "The subordinates are already used to it. Our Shadow Guards have gone through layers of screening since childhood, and the ten people who can finally become Ying Yi to Ying Ten are the strongest."

Cheng Bingling asked curiously: "Then you are not the strongest?!"

Shadow One shook his head and said, "No, I'm not the strongest. Before this year, I was called 'Shadow Two' for several years in a row."

Shang Jinnan said with a smile: "I guess what you said next is the key point, that person should be the former Yingyi?"

Ying Yi said respectfully: "Master is really smart. When I was Ying Er, Ying Yi was a legendary person. He won the title of 'Shadow One' for ten consecutive years, setting a record that no one has ever beaten. If it wasn't for that Unexpectedly, it is estimated that he will still be Shadow One today."

Cheng Bingling knew there was a story here as soon as she heard it, and she quickly asked, "What happened to him?"

Yingyi continued: "Since ancient times, a hero has been saddened by the beauty pass. He fell in love with someone during a mission."

Cheng Bingling reached out to pick up a cup of tea, took a sip and asked, "Who?!"

Ying Yi said: "The world-renowned enchantress Lan Wangshu."

"Pfft!" Cheng Bingling spat out a mouthful of water: "Who are you talking about?!"

Although Yingyi was puzzled by Cheng Bingling's performance, he repeated it: "During a mission, he came into contact with Lan Wangshu and fell in love with her. After they were together for a while, something happened, and Yingyi suddenly became depressed. for a while."

He still remembered that at that time, he saw him standing alone on the city wall, drinking alone against the moon, and got very drunk.Then in the shadow guard internal selection contest, they faced each other.

On that day, as if by divine help, he easily defeated this legendary man and won the title of Shadow One.

The man looked haggard, and he looked at Ying Yi with a gentle smile: "Congratulations, you will be Ying Yi from now on."

After the man finished speaking, he handed his number plate—a listing plate to him, he waved his hand, turned around and disappeared into the sunset.

Yingyi knew that in that match, the man deliberately let the water go. Although he didn't understand why, Yingyi knew that the man no longer wanted to be Yingyi anymore, and he chose to retire.

Shang Jinnan asked: "So, you want me to find him? Make him submit to me?"

Ying Yi said: "Yes. As far as I know, after he became a shadow guard, he changed his name to Lan Ying and opened an escort agency, recruiting shadows who have quit shadow guards in the past. If the master can let him submit, you Undoubtedly get a powerful force."

Shang Jinnan pondered for a moment and asked, "Who else knows about him?"

Ying Yi said: "Unless you pay special attention, no one will know. After all, shadow guards come and go without a shadow. As long as they don't spread the word, who knows who used to be a shadow guard."

Shang Jinnan thought for a while and said: "Yingyi, let's go in two steps. You train those children according to your plan. You don't have to worry about money. Give those children the best food and clothing. Be my Naturally, I will not treat them badly. As for the Lan Ying you mentioned, I will meet him someday."

Shadow One responded, turned and left.

Seeing Yingyi leaving, Cheng Bingling immediately went to Shang Jinnan's side and said, "Hey, let me say that Lan Wangshu is a man. After Yingyi fell in love with Lan Wangshu, did he suddenly realize that he fell in love with her? A man? Then he couldn't accept it, so he drank to drink away his worries, and finally stopped being a shadow guard."

Wow, what a big show!
Shang Jinnan shook his head and said: "Have you forgotten? Lan Wangshu has another identity, the former prince. You said, as Yingyi, he must be loyal to the emperor, but the person he likes is He is the emperor's enemy. When the two stand on opposite sides, loyalty and righteousness are in a dilemma. He must have gone through some struggles before deciding not to be a shadow guard."

After hearing this, Cheng Bingling felt that Shang Jinnan might have really told the truth.She whispered: "In this case, will he submit to us?"

Shang Jinnan said: "I can't say for sure about this matter, let's talk about it after we meet."

"Yeah." Cheng Bingling nodded, she put her shoulder on Shang Jinnan's shoulder and said, "Hey, Shang Jinnan."

"What?" Shang Jinnan asked.

Cheng Bingling looked down at the hand that was still being held and said, "How long will you hold my hand?"

Only then did Shang Jinnan realize that their hands were still holding each other, he let go of Cheng Bingling's hand and said, "Sorry, I forgot."

Seeing Shang Jinnan let go of his hand, Cheng Bingling smiled and said, "Thank you for comforting me just now."

"You're welcome." Shang Jinnan said softly, "I understand your feelings." They all came from a peaceful era, and Shang Jinnan didn't have the habit of hiring child labor for himself, "Cheng Bingling, think about it from another angle, those children They are all orphans and helpless, and we can still provide them with basic food, clothing, housing and transportation. I can only guarantee that before they reach adulthood, we will try not to arrange tasks that endanger their lives."

Cheng Bingling smiled and said: "I understand, special treatment in extraordinary times. I was just thinking, after the emperor's birthday banquet is over, let's go and see these children."

Shang Jinnan smiled and said, "Okay."

In the third prince's mansion, Bai Xueyao woke up slowly, she was embraced by Shang Shaoyong, she looked up, and saw Shang Shaoyong's serious face.

Bai Xueyao raised her hand and touched Shang Shaoyong's frowning brow.

"Are you awake?" Shang Shaoyong's voice was low and hoarse, and he looked extraordinarily charming in the dark night.

Bai Xueyao asked warmly: "What are you worrying about? You are frowning."

Shang Shaoyong said: "I'm thinking, in a few days, Ama's birthday party, what gift should I give him."

Bai Xueyao said with a smile: "What's the problem? I heard that Lan Wangshu is the most beautiful woman in the world. Why don't you invite her into the palace to dance for the emperor?"

There is probably no man in the world who doesn't like beauties.Otherwise, there would be no saying that there are three thousand beauties in the harem.

Bai Xueyao's idea is very simple, since the emperor likes beauties, then they will find a beauty to dance a dance with, if the emperor takes a fancy to it and bring it into the palace, it will disgust the queen.

In today's world, the struggle for power is divided into two factions, one is the third prince, the god of war who has won many miraculous achievements, and the other is the queen's son-the prince.

As Bai Xueyao mentioned——

Not only can you place a pawn beside Ama, but you can also disgust the enemy's ideas. Shang Shaoyong thinks it is very good, and immediately sent someone to inform Lan Wangshu to celebrate the emperor's birthday.

A few days later, the carriage drove Cheng Bingling and Shang Jinan away from the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and came straight to a mansion. The archway in front of the mansion was written "First Escort" in golden lacquer.
