"For many years after that, His Majesty no longer had a personal bodyguard by his side, and I always felt it was inappropriate. As King Zhuilan, the dragon body is the most important thing, so I had to have a personal bodyguard to follow me, so I personally I have found someone for you, and this person is Chang Si. Not only does Chang Si look similar to his brother, but his martial arts skills are also top-notch!"
Lan Lin looked at Changsi in a deep voice. Changsi always lowered his head, a little timid.
Lan Lin said: "No need."
Queen Ye Nong smiled and said: "Why has His Majesty been unwilling to have personal guards for so many years? I really don't understand!"
Lan Lin frowned slightly, turned to look at Ye Nong sitting next to him, and asked, "What does the Queen think?"
Ye Nong waved her sleeves and smiled: "I would venture to guess that your majesty must have been thinking about the dead guard Changting and felt guilty, so you have not had a personal guard by your side for so many years. Now that Changsi is willing to continue to protect your majesty for your brother, your majesty sees it From his brother's point of view, even if you don't want anyone else, you can still accept him as your personal guard!"
Lan Lin was obviously not interested in the matter of personal bodyguards, so he waved his hand and said: "I really don't know, Queen, you are so lenient in your control now. Even the Queen has to worry about Gu's personal bodyguards! The Queen has to worry about it, in the future From my perspective, it’s really not necessary!”
"Your Majesty -" Ye Nong suddenly said sharply: "Your Majesty can no longer act recklessly. You are the king of King Zhulan. How can the king's life be a trivial matter? I think this matter, even if it is placed in the court, The civil and military officials also refused to agree. Could it be that a personal guard should be arranged for His Majesty? For such a trivial matter, do we need to alert the civil and military officials to discuss it?"
Lan Lin sat on the dragon chair, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth. In fact, Ye Nong did not need to intervene in this matter. The minister of the DPRK had already proposed many years ago that he should place personal guards around him as soon as possible to protect his safety.
But in Lan Lin's heart, there was no one in the world who could be so worthy of Changting to be his personal bodyguard, so he just ignored it. Unexpectedly, the queen suddenly mentioned it again today, probably because she wanted to put an eyeliner beside him so that he could keep an eye on himself and her. Lin Xie.
He never expected that the eyeliner would be Chang Si, which made him a little embarrassed.
He was not sure whether Changsi entered the palace voluntarily or because he was implicated and was used by the queen as a pawn to blackmail him. But no matter which case it was, as Changting's younger brother, he should not be too harsh on him.
At least he couldn't be implicated because of himself. Otherwise, how could he face the dead Changting?
He thought for a while and then said: "Since the queen is so concerned about Gu's safety, Gu can promise you to arrange a personal guard beside Gu, but this person must be chosen by Gu himself! After all, he is Gu's personal guard. It’s no small matter!”
Seeing that her plan had not succeeded, Ye Nong originally wanted to argue, but then she heard Lan Lin say that personal guards need to be selected by themselves, which made sense in theory, and was thinking about how to reply to Lan Lin's words.
Standing silently on the side, Chang Si suddenly raised his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, the personal bodyguard is to protect your safety. Chang Si believes that the most important thing is martial arts! If he does not have super strong martial arts, he will not be qualified for this job. Responsibility! The body of the monarch is the foundation of the country. Please agree to your majesty's agreement to choose the conditions for personal protection and decide by a martial arts competition!"
Chang Si's words were spoken with force and force, and he pressed forward step by step, leaving Lan Lin with no room to give in.
Ye Nong smiled with satisfaction, then looked at the deflated Lan Lin aside, and said: "Your Majesty, since Changsi is willing to compete with martial arts to determine victory or defeat, then please send someone to compete with him. If the person sent by your Majesty wins, then He is Your Majesty's new personal bodyguard. If Changsi wins, then let Changsi be your personal bodyguard. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Lan Lin remained silent. He had seen Chang Si's martial arts at Suoyun Lake and had fought with them. He had to admit that Chang Si's martial arts was indeed powerful. Who among the guards in the palace could be his opponent?
"Your Majesty - don't you dare to accept the challenge?" Queen Ye Nong sneered.
Lan Lin said seriously: "Okay - Queen, I agree to your request!"
Lan Lin thought to himself, as the king of a country, could he still die on this throne? So he immediately announced that Changhe, the commander of the bodyguards, would lead people into the palace.
When Chang He, the commander of the guards, heard that someone dared to come to provoke His Majesty, Feng Feng Huo Huo walked in with ten imperial guards with high martial arts skills.
Above the Hongwu Hall, Chang He led ten imperial guards and rushed over.
The ten imperial guards were all wearing hard armor and black clothes, with long swords on their waists and sharp eyes.
Lan Lin glanced with satisfaction at Changhe, who strode forward to salute.
"Commander of the Guards, Changhe, comes to see Your Majesty——"
Changhe's voice was loud and deafening, and his thick black stubble made his face look serious.
Lan Lin raised his lips and smiled slightly: "Commander Changhe, today Gu is going to use a martial arts contest to select someone to be Gu's personal guard. The best personal guard around Gu back then was sent to Gu personally by you. Now Gu is I also hope that some of your people can defeat the candidates sent by the Queen!"
After listening to Lan Lin's words, Chang He was surprised and happy. The death of Chang Ting made his majesty depressed for a time, and he was unwilling to accept others as his personal bodyguards. As the king of a country, he had no reliable people around him. Protection is really worrying.
As the commander of the bodyguards, Changhe has advised Lanlin more than once, hoping that he can find a new personal guard to replace Changting. As long as His Majesty gives the order, he can re-select candidates for His Majesty.
Lan Lin said to him sadly: "Commander Changhe, Changting is not a substitute that can be replaced at will. He is not Gu's shadow. The shield that blocks Gu's arrows cannot be discarded when it is broken. Gu would rather never have one by his side. A personal guard must also keep his place in the lonely heart."
Changhe thought to himself, now that many years have passed, His Majesty has finally figured it out! Chang He was certainly sad to lose such an outstanding nephew like Chang Ting. During those days when he was training Chang Ting, he had already regarded him as his own son. However, as the commander of the guards of the King Zhui Lan Palace, protecting King Zui Lan was his priority. All missions.
Changhe frowned and turned to look at the young man standing aside, wondering who without eyes dared to challenge the imperial guards in the palace. He turned around and saw that the person in front of him was Chang Sizhi, and he couldn't help but be frightened. He jumped and stared: "Chang...Changsi? Why is it you?"
Changsi did salute him respectfully, and then said: "Uncle Changhe, Changsi is favored by the Queen and has been elected as your Majesty's personal guard. Changsi has been practicing martial arts seriously for many years, training himself, and hopes that he One day I can become an outstanding person like my brother. Now God has given me this opportunity to replace my brother and continue to protect His Majesty. Changsi will definitely do his best to win this honor and bring glory to my family! "
Chang He actually didn't know much about the nephew in front of him. In his memory, Chang Ting was a very good person, so he subconsciously thought that Chang Si who could say these words was a talented person.
If his martial arts are really good, wouldn't it be a continuation for him to replace Changting and continue to protect His Majesty? Maybe Changting has a spirit in the sky, and he will feel relieved.
Changhe laughed. The solemnity just now had long since disappeared. He reached out and patted Changsi's shoulder, and then said appreciatively: "Boy, that's not bad. His muscles are strong. His martial arts skills must not be any worse than your brother's!"
"Cough——" Lan Lin coughed longly while sitting on the dragon chair, and glanced at Changhe with a very bad expression.
I thought to myself, Changhe, what are you doing here? Gu Ke is counting on you to support Gu's situation and send people to defeat the people sent by the Queen. How come you are so harmonious and so optimistic about this guy?
Only then did Chang He react, and then he clasped his fists and saluted sternly at Lan Lin: "Your Majesty, don't worry, these ten imperial guards are top-notch guards who have been carefully trained by my subordinates. They are all masters, and they are all willing to fight for your Majesty." !”
"Very good -" Lan Lin nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face, and his eyes swept over the ten imperial guards in front of him one by one.
Queen Ye Nong on the side said: "Your Majesty, Commander Changhe has ten elite men, but I only send one person to fight. For the sake of fairness, Your Majesty can only send one person to fight, and the winner will be determined in one round. Your Majesty." what do you think?"
Lan Lin nodded and said: "The queen is right. A one-on-one competition is fair. Commander Changhe, I want to ask you, who is the most powerful among the ten imperial guards you have carefully trained?"
"Uh..." Changhe glanced at the ten people and suddenly hesitated.
Fu'an, who was standing next to the queen, said: "I believe that Commander Changhe has no weak soldiers. They are all masters. Commander Changhe is a little hard to make a choice!"
Queen Ye Nong nodded and smiled, then looked at the troubled Changhe amiably and asked, "Is that so, Commander Changhe?"
Chang He looked at Lan Lin and Ye Nong, and then replied: "Reporting to the Queen, this is actually the case. The most powerful among these ten imperial guards is... a woman!"
"Oh? Female?" Lan Lin was startled. He didn't expect that the most powerful guard in Zhui Lan Palace was actually a woman.
There were quite a few women who became bodyguards in Zhuilan Palace, but there were very few who could become masters. He felt his eyes light up and looked at the group of people again.
These people were all wearing armor, with high ponytails, and red forehead wipes. None of them had any makeup on their faces. At a glance, it was hard to tell who was a boy or a girl.
Ye Nong chuckled, and then said: "The most powerful one is actually a woman, hahaha! Commander Changhe, please call me out and let me see it!"
Changhe nodded, turned around and said, "Yanse——"
The female guard named Yanse walked out of the queue. Her dark eyes looked at the high-ranking King Zhuilan and the Queen, then she lowered her head and clasped her fists in salute.
Standing as tall as bamboo, as quiet as the deep sea.
Ye Nong looked at Lan Lin with a smile, and then said: "Is your Majesty planning to send a woman to compete?"
Lan Lin was afraid that he would lose this battle. Since Changhe said that the man named Yanse was the most powerful among the ten, how could he give up so easily.
