After rebirth, she killed her best friend and took over the scumbag's kingdom

When they arrived in the yard, they saw twenty young secret guards already lined up and waiting.

They were between fifteen and twenty years old. Half of them were men and half were women. All of them were full of energy and had firm eyes.

Feng Qiongzhu stepped forward, her eyes swept over these young people, and she asked directly and honestly: "Are you all willing to follow me?"

These young people had already understood the situation before coming. They answered in unison without hesitation: "We are willing to do so!"

Twenty people knelt on one knee at the same time, with loud voices.

Feng Qiongzhu's eyes gleamed with light, and she smiled and said, "Since you have chosen to follow me, you must know that my orders must be obeyed unconditionally. Even if I ask you to face death, you must move forward courageously. So, please think clearly, once you make a decision, there is no turning back."

As soon as she finished speaking, some people's eyes sparkled with excitement, some began to fall into deep thought, and some remained expressionless.

But no matter what, they have made their own choices and are ready to follow Feng Qiongzhu on a new journey.

Feng Qiongzhu quietly waited for everyone's response. Deep in her heart, she hoped that these people would be willing to follow her sincerely.

She couldn't help but wonder, perhaps it was because this group of people had been living a repressed life for a long time, and they had longed to follow the head of the family into the world and experience the excitement and freedom they had never experienced before.

However, to her surprise, no one stood up and expressed their desire to withdraw.

Feng Qiongzhu couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She understood that this place had indeed made people feel depressed for a long time. It was time for them to walk out of this valley, pursue a wider world, and do something great and spectacular.

However, shortly after she finished expressing her feelings, someone suddenly stood up.

"Your subordinate greets the master of the family." The man bowed respectfully to Feng Qiongzhu.

A young-looking man with a stern face slowly walked forward, knelt on one knee in front of Feng Qiongzhu, and bowed respectfully.

When Xiao Xiangsong saw this scene, he couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

This young man was the best among the twenty of them, with superb martial arts skills. He had originally planned to select him as the captain of the secret guard for this group of people.

Doesn't he want to be the patriarch's personal bodyguard?

Everyone's eyes were filled with confusion, but the young man always maintained an indifferent expression, as if he had no emotional fluctuations at all.

Feng Qiongzhu was also a little surprised. She could see that this man was extremely powerful and had a natural talent in martial arts.

He usually keeps a low profile and knows how to conceal himself very well. His aura is so restrained that people can hardly feel his presence.

Feng Qiongzhu was quite satisfied with this young man. She really didn't want to let such an outstanding talent go easily.

She stared at the boy who was kneeling on one knee and said softly, "Raise your head so I can see."

The young man looked up upon hearing this, met Feng Qiongzhu's big round eyes, and then quickly lowered his head again.

Feng Qiongzhu smiled: "You are quite handsome. Are you standing up because you don't want to be my bodyguard?"

Hearing her words, the young man knew that she had misunderstood his intentions, and hurriedly explained respectfully: "Master, you misunderstood me. The prince consort once saved my father's life and adopted me into the Dark Guard Camp when I was four years old. My life was given by the prince consort. Now that the prince consort is gone, I will use my life to protect the master of the family."

Taoist Master Xu was also surprised when he heard this. He turned to Xiao Xiangsong and asked, "What's going on? Did the prince consort save his father? Was he brought back by the prince consort?"

Xiao Xiangsong looked at the young man kneeling on the ground, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

He knew that although this boy looked cold on the outside, he was actually very loyal and righteous in his heart.

Ever since he was adopted by his consort at the age of four and came to the Dark Guard Camp, he has been taught by him personally. Now it seems that he has indeed lived up to his expectations.

He sighed and began to explain to Taoist Master Xu: "The prince consort used to travel a lot. One time, he happened to meet a seriously ill father and son. He felt pity for them and tried to save them, but the father was unable to survive and passed away early. The prince consort saw this helpless four-year-old child and brought him back to the valley to raise him. He has grown up and is now a leader among the hidden guards."

Taoist Master Xu looked at the young man, with more and more satisfaction in his eyes.

He knew that those who were taught by Xiao Xiangsong himself must be trustworthy.

Arranging him next to Qiongzhu girl is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice.

Taoist Xu nodded slightly and gestured to Feng Qiongzhu.

Feng Qiongzhu asked softly, "What's your name?"

The young man was slightly stunned, and after a moment's hesitation, he replied: "Master, we are now your people, please give us twenty people new names."

Feng Qiongzhu gained a certain understanding of this young man from Xiao Xiangsong's words.

After pondering for a moment, she decided, "Then let's use the character Xuan as the generation number, and then arrange them numerically. As the captain, you will be called Xuan Yi, and you will assign names to the others."

"Yes, sir." Xuan Yi responded respectfully and stood up.

He still had no expression on his face and followed Feng Qiongzhu quietly.

She looked up and took a closer look at the valley. Seeing that it was getting late, she decided to leave the valley and return to the Taoist temple.

She tightened her dress, turned to her uncle who had just recognized her as her relative, and said with a little embarrassment: "Uncle, I came to the valley without telling anyone else today. It's getting late now, and I want to go back first. I'll come to discuss the treasure with you tomorrow, okay?"

Taoist Master Xu next to him wrinkled his nose when he heard this, then immediately widened his eyes and said, "What do you mean come tomorrow? You are the head of the family, so there is no reason for you to come on your own initiative. It should be Xiao Xiangsong who goes to find you."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was stunned, even Xuan Yi looked at her.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiangsong laughed and said lovingly, "Qiongzhu, don't come here. There are only a bunch of grown men here. I will bring a few brothers from the sub-camp to look for you tomorrow."

"That's right, Brother Xiao, let me tell you, Qiongzhu brought a lot of wine to the Taoist temple. Don't you want to try it?" Taoist Master Xu encouraged him with a smirk on his face.

When Xiao Xiangsong heard this, he could not hold back any longer. He rubbed his palms together and looked at Feng Qiongzhu awkwardly: "Qiongzhu, you see, uncle hasn't met up with Military Advisor Xu for a long time. How about I go to the Taoist temple with you guys now? I also want to meet that prince of Prince Duan's mansion."

"Yes, that's it, Military Advisor, don't you think so? After all, I am Qiongzhu's elder, isn't that right?" Xiao Xiangsong said while winking at Xu Laodao.

Feng Qiongzhu looked at the two men blatantly plotting against her wine and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, so she could only nod.
