"The other two guys were lucky. They were directly selected as the princess's personal guards. Becoming the princess's personal guards is a step up. They don't have to worry all day long."

"By the way, doesn't the princess also like good-looking things? Eunuch Hong is keeping the best-looking ones for himself and giving the inferior ones to the princess."

"Tsk, that damn eunuch has done this more than once or twice."

The sound of conversation outside gradually faded away until it could no longer be heard.

Su Xinyang frowned slightly. Although the two people outside did not mention any name, he had a feeling that the person they were talking about was himself.

Firstly, Eunuch Hong had paid special attention to me before; secondly, I was the best looking among the three of them.

If we were to choose someone, his chances would be much higher than the other two.

Su Xinyang felt heavy in his heart.

If this is true, I am afraid I will be dead.

No, he had to find a way to avoid this disaster.

Su Xinyang was no longer sleepy.

There was a sound of unlocking the door outside. The door opened and a man came in carrying a bowl of porridge and two plates of side dishes and put them on the table.

"Eat it."

Su Xinyang didn't move, and the man didn't care and just left.

He had been keeping an eye on the other person, and when he saw that the other person did not lock the door after leaving, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A cup of tea ago, in room 132, the sound coming from under the window woke up the young boy in the room. The boy sat up, walked to the window, and listened to the conversation outside with his head tilted.

"These three people really have the same fate but different fortunes."

"What do you mean? What inside information do you know?"

"I'm telling you, you must not leak it." The person who broke the news spoke in a low voice.

132 in the room could clearly feel the other party's lowered voice, and it was very difficult for him to hear it clearly. He could only prick up his ears and listen attentively.

"My mouth is shut and I will never tell anyone."

"You knew about the sudden fight between 131 and 133 yesterday, right?"

"Of course I know. Because of this matter, my sweet dream was disturbed."

"Then do you know why 131 and 133 are fighting?"

"Why?"

"This time, among the three of them, one will be chosen to be the princess's bodyguard. Once he becomes the princess's bodyguard, it will be a step to heaven. As for the other two, they will be castrated and sent to the palace to become secret agents."

The person who broke the news continued, "I don't know from whom that kid 131 got this information, and he solved the biggest obstacle for himself in advance."

"Are you saying that the person most likely to become the princess's personal bodyguard is that 133?"

"Have you forgotten? The princess likes good-looking people the most, and among the three of them, 133 is the best-looking."

"I see. I was wondering why 131 and 133 were fighting. I guess it's because of this."

The sounds outside gradually faded away, and the people in the house could no longer hear the sounds outside.

132 His eyes darkened slightly, and he murmured, "So that's it."

He was wondering yesterday why 131 suddenly wanted to attack 133. So this is what happened.

132 couldn't help but think of the special attention that Eunuch Hong showed to 133 in the Death Soldier Camp, and how he personally called him over. It seemed that at that time, he had chosen 133 as the princess's personal bodyguard.

One was the princess's personal bodyguard, and the other was sent to the palace after being castrated. The treatment between the two was very different.

Everyone would choose the former.

When 132 thought about the fate of being castrated, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

No, he absolutely could not just sit there and wait for death. He had to find a way to get rid of 133. Only by getting rid of him would he have a chance to become the princess's personal bodyguard.

Compared with 131, he looks better than 131.

He was confident that as long as 133 was dealt with, he would be the princess's personal bodyguard.

How to solve 133?

132 With a plan in mind, he walked out of the house. People in the yard were busy, and no one paid any attention to him.

He searched room by room and finally found 133 sitting on the steps in a room not far from his own room.

132 walked towards 133, and as he approached, 133 raised his head warily.

He acted as if he didn't see it and walked over to his side and sat down, one foot away from him.

"I'm sorry about what happened last night."

A hint of surprise flashed across Su Xinyang's eyes.

Seeing that he didn't respond, 132 didn't get discouraged and continued, "Actually, I came to you this time because I want to cooperate with you."

Su Xinyang raised his eyebrows and looked at him, but did not speak.

132 then said, "Do you know why 131 wants to kill you?"

"Why?"

Seeing that he finally spoke, 132 felt more confident. He was afraid that if he remained silent, his plan would be in jeopardy.

"Because he got the news that two of us three will be selected as the princess's guards, and the other one will be eliminated. You are valued by Eunuch Hong, so you will definitely be one of the two candidates. But he and I are different."

Su Xinyang sneered, "He is more powerful than you. If we really have to choose between the two, you should be the one worried. Why doesn't he instigate you to kill me, but do it himself?"

132 seemed to have anticipated his question. "The reason is simple. Both of us look better than 131. I got reliable information that the princess likes good-looking people. As his personal bodyguard, he would naturally choose me over him. He felt a sense of crisis, so he took action to get rid of you, the intended candidate."

"The reason why he chose to attack you instead of me is simple, because you are weaker than me. I guess there is another more important reason."

132 paused, and after some deliberation, he spoke, "You are too good-looking. He is worried that if the two of you are chosen as the princess's guards, you will definitely be more favored by the princess because of your looks. This is not a good thing for him."

"Comparing the two, you and I, you are naturally more dangerous. Only by getting rid of you can he have a chance to gain the favor of the princess. Once he can gain the favor of the master, then our fate will naturally be different."

Su Xinyang gradually had a clear answer in his mind.

Combining the actions of 131 yesterday, the information he overheard today, and the information revealed by 132, a clear outline was formed.

Eunuch Hong selected three people to go to Shangjing City, two of whom would be chosen as the princess's guards, and the other would be used by him.

There are two points to support the princess' choice of guards.

First of all, what 132 said and what I overheard are consistent.

It is highly likely that the princess chose two guards, and that there were two of them.
