"It was too dark, and I didn't dare get too close, so I didn't see clearly who it was, but I can be sure that the other person should be a woman."
"Keep an eye on Yin in the next two days and see what she is going to do." Gu Yanming said calmly, not to alert the enemy.
"Yes," Dao Qin nodded, glanced at Ye Xinran before continuing.
"Master, someone is here. Do you want to come in?"
Ye Xinran dusted off his body and stood up.
"Your Majesty, you are busy. I will go back first!"
"Wait a minute! I'll let you meet two people!" Gu Yanming naturally took Ye Xinran's hand and pulled her to sit on the stone next to him. Then he let go.
Ye Xinran put the hand into her sleeve awkwardly, and then asked as if nothing had happened.
"Who?"
Gu Yanming did not answer, but gave Dao Qin something. Dao Qin waved it around the officers and soldiers who were on guard, and they fell asleep in a daze.
In this huge yard, they were the only ones still awake.
"Come in."
Only then did Gu Yanming call someone in.
Ye Xinran only felt a slight fluctuation in the air, and before he could feel it carefully, two men in black appeared in front of him.
The two men knelt on one knee and clasped their fists.
"Your subordinate greets His Majesty and Princess!"
Ye Xinran was surprised. The two people were not wearing masks. Under the moonlight, she could clearly see that they were a man and a woman, both about seventeen or eighteen years old. They looked very similar, with long and thin eyebrows and handsome features. They both had the same teardrop mole at the corners of their eyes, and they were very outstanding.
"Princess, they are secret guards, and their martial arts are the best among the secret guards."
Gu Yanming continued in a calm voice without any extra emotion.
"I'll be yours from now on."
Ye Xinran was surprised. Was this a gift for her? She suddenly didn't know how to react. It felt like she was being bailed out by a rich man. She didn't like to owe anyone anything, including her family. She really liked the two secret guards in front of her.
After thinking for a while, he took out a small telescope from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Yanming.
"For you!"
Gu Yanming blinked, "What is this?"
Ye Xinran held the telescope in front of him and said, "Look at the bird on the roof opposite!"
Gu Yanming looked at it and said in surprise,
“I can see so far! So clearly!”
"Try turning it here again!" Ye Xinran took his hand and taught him.
“You can adjust the distance!”
Gu Yanming was even more surprised. His originally cold face became lively! Like a child who got a new toy.
Gu Yanming took the telescope and looked here and there.
Several secret guards opened their eyes wide with curiosity.
After a long while, Gu Yanming put down the telescope, coughed lightly and said, "Thank you, Princess. I like it very much!"
Ye Xinran was a little amused and nodded, "Thank you too, Your Highness. I like it too!" referring to the secret guard who sent it to her.
Gu Yanming was obviously relieved. The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
After Ye Xinran admired Gu Yanming's expression, she turned to look at the two and asked, "What are your names? How old are you?"
The woman replied respectfully.
"Princess, my name is Jihua, and he is my younger brother, Qiangqi! We are seventeen years old!"
"Are you twins?" Ye Xinran tilted her head to look at the two of them. The younger brother was half a head taller than his sister.
"yes."
When the younger brother Qiangqi said this, he looked at Ye Xinran curiously. Then, he was pulled by his sister Jihua. Qiangqi lowered his head quickly.
Ye Xinran felt amused. It seemed that the elder sister was steady and thoughtful, while the younger brother was lively and active!
Ye Xinran thought about it, turned her head and looked at Gu Yanming, "Prince, can I ask them to do anything? Do I have the final say?"
Gu Yanming nodded.
"certainly!"
Ye Xinran got a positive answer, her smile became more sincere, and she asked Ji Hua.
"Can you read? Can you count?"
Ji Hua nodded, "Yes!"
"Well, let's find a place to sell ourselves and bury our father in the next two days!"
Ye Xinran said with a smile.
Several people looked at each other.
"Be sure to let my parents buy you!" Ye Xinran added.
After hearing the first sentence, Ji Hua and Qiang Qi were stunned! Their parents died a long time ago! How to bury their father!
But after hearing the last sentence, I understood that the princess wanted them to stay with her parents for protection, but she didn't want to make it clear.
They both should be.
Ye Xinran had nothing else to do, so he asked them to go back and prepare.
"This arrangement is good!" Gu Yanming said lightly.
Originally, he had thought of arranging someone to protect the two elders, but he was afraid that they would feel embarrassed and have resistance, and it would be inconvenient to use them. This is also good. The two elders spend their own money to buy people back, and they will treat them as their own people and trust them more.
"What are their backgrounds?" Ye Xinran asked.
"They entered the palace's secret chamber when they were three years old. Their parents were originally merchants, but were murdered! It was the secret guard leader Xu Sheng who saved them."
Ye Xinran nodded, that’s perfect.
In fact, on the one hand, she was worried about the safety of the two elders, and on the other hand, her parents only had her as a daughter, and there was nothing left for them to do. Just now, I saw that the brother and sister looked good. If I adopt them as my parents' adopted children in the future, it would be considered as a way of fulfilling my filial piety. However, this also depends on fate, so I'll take it slow.
She also wanted her father to help her with the business, but her father would definitely not be able to handle it alone and needed help. She was not confident in just finding someone. She still trusted Gu Yanming's people.
After saying these things, Gu Yanming continued to practice martial arts with Ye Xinran.
It was not until late at night that Ye Xinran finally discovered, after her unremitting efforts, that there was a warm current in her dantian. It was very small and weak, but it was indeed the internal force she had cultivated.
Gu Yanming placed his hands on hers, closed his eyes and felt them. Then he opened his eyes and said.
"Congratulations, you did it!"
Ye Xinran was so happy that her eyebrows were curved and she smiled, revealing a small fang.
Seeing her so happy, Gu Yanming's heart was warmed.
"Now strike while the iron is hot and make this internal energy flow throughout your body."
"Okay!" Ye Xinran nodded.
"I'll help you!"
The two closed their eyes, and Gu Yanming used his own internal energy to guide Ye Xinran's internal energy to flow throughout his body.
Daoqin and Jianshu stayed away and protected them.
"Princess, you are amazing! It only took half a day to develop internal strength!" Jianshu leaned half of his body on Daoqin and asked, "It must have taken you nearly ten days to sense the Dao!"
Dao Qin glanced at him, stepped away and said, "You only need fifteen days!"
Jianshu staggered and almost fell, and said unhappily, "I was still young at that time!"
Daoqin was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Another half an hour later, Ye Xinran felt relaxed and comfortable all over, just like she had just soaked in a hot spring. When she opened her eyes, she found a foul smell sweeping over her body.
"Ugh, it stinks!"
