......

many years ago.

The residence of the lord of Yunyang is exceedingly grand, and also related to the fact that the territory of Yunyang is indeed superbly wealthy. Even, each of the lord of Yunyang's eunuchs had his own guard. The source of the members of the guard is basically the family servants who are loyal to the lord, or homeless elite talent.

The latter is a bit more complicated, those who are really strong, usually do not work for anyone, but will serve in the lord's house as a "guest" position. Those who are not strong enough and have no way out will choose to become a member of the guard. It seems that both are working for the lord, but the actual situation is very different, the guest secretary is a guest, the guard is a servant.

On a windy and snowy night, the housekeeper of Lord Yunyang's house picked up a little girl on the wasteland.

She looked young, yellow and skinny, and her body was covered with large and small wounds.

"My goodness, who in the end did such a terrible thing ...... cut a half-grown kid with a knife into this state ......"

That day, the little girl was brought into the lord's house.

As a more ordinary subordinate.

The housekeeper said that there was no longer a shortage of subordinates in the lord's house. If you want to stay, you have to practice hard and try to become a member of the guard.

The little girl clumsily held the sword and slashed one after another, practicing day after day.

However, when the day came for the lord's children to choose their own guard, the thin, bony little girl stood in an inconspicuous corner with her sword, unattended from the beginning. She wanted to show those people the calluses on her two hands, to tell them that she was practicing every day to the best of her ability, and that she would be useful one day.

And I can wash clothes, I can cook, I can chop wood and make fire.

She is not a useless one.

But no one paid any attention to her, no one listened to her.

She tried to pull the corner of an older brother, who was much taller than her, and said hesitantly:

"That, I ......"

got a loud, unbridled laugh from the other side.

She remembered that the lord's son leaned down, cupped her chin and looked her over carefully.

The little girl at that time, because of chronic malnutrition and hard training, was short, with dark eyes, messy hair, and a smell of vegetable leaves. The gentleman let go of his hand, snorted coldly, and kicked her over to the ground.

"Even if you have poor sword skills, you are so ugly looking ...... you are not even qualified to be a plaything. Get lost! Get out of our lord's house, trash thing ...... remember it, don't pester me again, my Liyi's men don't raise such appetizing contraptions like you."

The little girl covered the little belly that was kicked and turned over, and tried her best not to cry.

Because the housekeeper woman said girls don't look good when they cry.

But it was so hard, really ...... hard ......

heart seemed to be clenched, and every breath carried a great pain.

She sat in a muddy corner and watched the people throughout the martial arts training ground with great spirits.

Those selected members of the guard walked past her eyes with smug smiles.

The jeers weren't even avoided.

"See ...... I knew it ......"

"It's just a picked up wild kid, do you want to take the job from us too?"

"Get the hell out of here if you recognize reality. Hahahaha ...... scolded by that lord's grand son into this kind of situation, I really don't know what kind of face is left to stay here!!!"

"Yo, little one, how come you didn't practice your sword today? Can you chop the stake now? Hahahahaha-"

All the people were laughing.

All of them are smiling.

All of them, looking at themselves with those mockery-filled eyes.

Even the housekeeper woman who picked her up in the first place, saw this scene and backed away from it.

Are you kidding ...... dirty that Lord Liyi's eyes, and can still continue to stay in the Yunyang Lord House?

Who does not know that the grand Liyi is the future Lord of Yunyang ah ......

little girl clutched the sword in her arms, cowered into a small ball, tears fell in the dirt.

If I don't look good, I don't care, and no one will like me anyway.

Then let's cry. Crying out will also be better ......

Suddenly, she seemed to feel the murmur around gradually lowered.

In a silence, the little girl opened her eyes blurred by tears and looked in front of herself.

A guard who was just talking about her was kicked to the ground by a boy about her age.

The people around her didn't dare to breathe a single breath.

She watched the boy walk towards her and vaguely heard the chatter coming from the side.

"The Fourth lord......"

"What does the Fourth lord want to do?"

The little girl looked at him timidly, at the boy coming towards her, and shrank up, terrified of receiving another kick.

But the flamboyantly dressed boy half squatted down with a fop smile and said seemingly casually:

"Want to come with me?"

She remembered the murmur of the people around her then was like boiling water boiling.

"Fourth lord, she is just a waste! It's not right to let such a person serve as a guard!"

"That's right, Fourth Prince, which of us is not better than her?"

"I voluntarily join your guard, please ......"

the little girl's mood dropped abruptly again.

Yes, she herself is just ......

The boy just twisted his head, with a warm smile, and said gently:

"I Lieder do things without your teaching."

He draped his expensive coat over the little girl's dirty body.

A warmth seeped in from the little girl's back.

He smiled and held out his hand to the wretched little girl in front of him.

"From now on, you are my Lieder's only retainer. Hold your sword steady, and from now on, I grant you the name of knight! ...... carry out your loyalty and righteousness to the last moment."

After saying that, he turned and waited a little.

The little girl staggered to her feet and followed quickly.

That day she took this Fourth Lord by the scruff of his coat and walked a long way.

That day she told the stranger her name for the first time.

Its name is ......Alea.

Many years later, Alea became the most beautiful girl in the lord's house, except for her thin breasts, her posture and figure steadily crushed the harem beauties of Lord Yunyang's father and son's family. Her sword skills are becoming more and more crisp and sharp, vaguely some profound feeling, who can see so grow on, she is likely to be the most outstanding young swordsman in the territory of Yunyang. The Lieder who took her away, however, is living the life of a cockney every day, and the reputation in the cloudy territory is deteriorating.

Everyone said this teenage fop didn't deserve such a good escort.

Lieder's big brother, Long Duke Liyi, thought the same thing.

So one night, the eldest male called Alea to his room, smiled and offered her all sorts of benefits and assurances.

"That brother of mine can't inherit the position of lord, while I can. From now on, you are the mistress of Yunyang, with endless money and countless treasures. No longer have to go on adventures, no longer have to fight with people ...... look, actually let such a beautiful woman as a district escort, my brother lost his mind! Alea, this lord promise you, from now on, I will- "

When he said, he put his hand to Alea's shoulder.

Alea slapped him on the face.

It was the first time in her life so far that she cursed, clumsily following the example of that young master of hers, and replied to Liyi:

"Go fuck youself."
