Chapter 764: This is my man
"No need to be polite."
Xiao Lanyuan asked General Wei to come over and talk to him alone.
Someone brought hot tea.
This place is very secretive, no one has ever been here and it is very quiet all around.
But it is very close to the palace.
In fact, there is a palace in the imperial palace prepared for their Dragon Shadow Guard, but because the control of the Dragon Shadow Guard is now in the hands of Xiao Lanyuan, the emperor said early on that it is not appropriate for them to live there.
The emperor had already given Xiao Lanyuan a difficult problem, saying that the Dragon Shadow Guards could not live in the Shadow Palace, but they also could not be too far away from the palace.
After all, no matter what, on the surface, they still have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the emperor.
The emperor thought that this would narrow the scope, and then he would send people to find out where the Dragon Shadow Guards lived and trained, and then secretly send people to keep an eye on them.
In this way, the Dragon Shadow Guard is also under his nose.
Unfortunately, over the years, the emperor’s people have not found a place.
Of course, he also suspected that Xiao Lanyuan did not settle the Dragon Shadow Guards very close to the palace, so he once launched a surprise attack and asked him to send out the Dragon Shadow Guards immediately.
If he was unable to get the Dragon Shadow Guards to arrive in the shortest time possible, it would mean that he was not acting in accordance with the will and rules.
Unexpectedly, the Dragon Shadow Guard arrived very quickly, which meant that they were really not far from the palace.
This made the emperor feel even more uneasy.
But the old princes of the royal family had told him that the Dragon Shadow Guards would never betray the emperor. Even if they could not protect him in time, Prince Jun would never order them to commit treason.
Only in this way can the emperor feel a little more at ease.
In other words, although the Dragon Shadow Guard is in Xiao Lanyuan's hands, this power also has a bottom line. Xiao Lanyuan would never order them to help seize the throne and kill the king.
General Wei looked at Xiao Lanyuan and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The prince is indeed fine."
After hearing the news today, they immediately went to the prison and secretly escorted Fu Zhaoning's carriage back to Prince Jun's Mansion.
I saw Xiao Lanyuan being carried into Prince Jun’s Mansion.
But without Xiao Lanyuan's order, they would not enter the mansion.
Now that he saw Xiao Lanyuan appear safely, General Wei once again believed in his abilities and believed that he would be fine.
"Nothing has happened to the king yet."
Xiao Lanyuan's voice was cold and he turned the teacup slightly but did not drink the tea.
As soon as General Wei saw him like this, he knew that he had something important to say.
"But I don't know what will happen next. The emperor obviously can't tolerate me now."
General Wei was silent.
Of course he could see it.
But what can he do about this kind of thing?
"Can't I look at the second secret order now?" Xiao Lanyuan asked.
The general's face was calm, "Your Majesty, the second secret order is for me to see, not for Your Majesty."
"Have you seen it?"
Wei will remain silent.
"So, I did see it."
Before, Xiao Lanyuan had only guessed, but now after seeing General Wei's reaction, he was sure of it.
The other party has already seen the second secret order.
Therefore, they should have already arranged the future affiliation and actions of the Dragon Shadow Guard.
"Your Highness, the second secret order is not effective now." said the general.
"Does it take effect only after I die?"
When General Wei heard this, he fell silent again.
That means he guessed right again.
Xiao Lanyuan put down the teacup and tapped the table with his fingers. After a moment, he stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the snowflakes falling silently outside.
"When the Emperor brought you to me, you had just completed a mission with ten members of the Dragon Shadow Guard. All eleven of you were seriously injured."
Xiao Lanyuan's voice faintly reached General Wei's ears. He was startled and looked towards the tall and majestic figure by the window.
"Your Majesty knows?"
How did the prince know?
He was only four years old at that time.
Four years old, still a child, and at that time Prince Jun was in very poor health and fainted easily. At that time, he probably didn't understand anything and couldn't care.
When the retired emperor handed them over to Prince Jun, the little Prince Jun asked him naively: Are you here to protect me?
When General Wei thought about it now, the child’s childish words were still ringing in his ears.
In fact, at that time they had completed a mission for the emperor, and he and the ten best kung fu men under his command were all seriously injured.
It is time to step back and recuperate for some time.
But at that time, the young Prince Jun needed the comfort of the retired emperor the most. He could no longer stay in the palace. When he lived in Prince Jun's Mansion, many people stuffed in evil slaves who tried to kill him openly or secretly.
It was a time when Prince Jun was in dire straits.
The Queen Mother suggested that he leave the capital to recuperate somewhere else. The Supreme Emperor was afraid that Prince Jun would be disappointed in him and become alienated from him, so he gave these eleven people to him first, saying that he would be able to control the Dragon Shadow Guard.
Of course, Prince Jun also knew about the Dragon Shadow Guards. When he heard all the Dragon Shadow Guards calling him the Guard General, he knew that this man was the leader of the Dragon Shadow Guards, so he believed the Emperor Emeritus and believed that he loved and valued him the most.
By that time, Prince Jun had already obtained evidence that the Emperor wanted to harm him, thanks to his intelligence, and he placed it in front of the Emperor.
But because the retired emperor gave him the Dragon Shadow Guard, he was very moved and listened to the retired emperor's words, and did not argue with the emperor that time.
No one knew that Prince Jun knew at the time that they were injured and needed to leave Beijing for a while to recuperate?
At that time, it was not that they were secretly protecting King Jun, but they took advantage of King Jun's frail body and obtained a lot of good medicinal materials.
Prince Jun was recuperating from his illness, and they were recovering from their injuries, and the medicinal materials were mixed in with them, so no one knew the truth that all the Dragon Shadow Guards were injured.
Over the years, Prince Jun never mentioned this matter.
The ten Dragon Shadow Guards back then had already exceeded their age, and their successors had been trained and they had retired from the Dragon Shadow Guards.
Only the guard general is getting stronger and stronger, and he is the leader of the Dragon Shadow Guard.
Now, when he suddenly heard Prince Jun mention this matter, he was shocked.
"General Wei, you have been with me for more than ten years, almost twenty years. At that time, you were still a young man, but now you have entered middle age."
"Yes." General Wei said in a deep voice.
"Over the years, this king has treated you well."
"right."
Prince Jun was indeed very kind to them. He gave them the best food and medicine. If anyone was seriously injured by accident, no matter how valuable the medicine was, the prince would use it without blinking an eye.
"It's been almost twenty years. Do you think you are still the same Dragon Shadow Guard as before?"
"What does your Majesty mean by this?"
"All the money you spend in my service is my money, and the tasks you complete are all based on my will."
