Chapter 137 Guards
The girl slowly closed her eyes, as if she no longer had nostalgia for this world. She felt the airflow brought by the fall through her body, perhaps this was her last feeling in this world.
"Father!"
Without Lian'er's reminder, Xiu Dao had already taken action the moment the girl fell. A black shadow shot out from the shadow behind him without warning, and the "shadow clone" turned into a black lightning and rushed towards the girl falling from the building.
The people who looked up and watched were all in their throats at this moment, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment. The "shadow clone" quickly walked past the high building, steadily caught the falling girl, and then disappeared from everyone's sight.
"This is..." The young captain watched the scene clearly on the roof. He looked around and turned around and trotted away from the roof.
"Where did that girl go?"
"Why is it missing?"
"What was that black shadow just now?"
"She isn't she an evil thing?"
"Don't talk nonsense in broad daylight."
"If it is true, she won't come to trouble us, will she?"
"I'd known it, I'd say less just now."
...
When people saw this strange scene, they started to talk.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd pointed to Xiu Lian's direction and shouted, "Where is that girl there."
The others quickly turned their heads and looked in the direction of the finger.
The girl jumped off the building was lying flat in front of Xiu Lian's wheelchair. Her breathing was a little rapid, and the black shadow that caught her disappeared.
The girl lay flat on the ground, looking at the blue sky with her eyes blank, and asked in a trembling voice, "Why should I save me?"
Xiu Lian looked back at her father and mother and looked at the girl again and said softly, "Suicide cannot solve any problem, it is just a cowardly escape." She was not answering the girl's question, but said what her younger brother Xiuhua said to her many years ago.
"I..." Tears flowed down the corners of the girl's eyes.
"If you have difficulties, you might as well say it."
"So what can I do if I say it?"
"We can help you."
"You..." The girl cried sadly, but she never continued to talk.
Xiu Lian saw that the girl didn't say anything more, and the next thing was up to the girl himself.
At this time, the young captain had already run out of the corridor of the high building. He trotted all the way to the Taoist temple. Before he could take a breath, he stood at the scene and gave a guard salute to the Taoist temple. "Hello, I am Walker, the captain of the public security management team in this area. Can you ask if it was yours just now?"
"Well, it's me." Xiu Dao nodded with a smile after examining the young captain.
"Thank you for your help." Walker stood at attention and bowed again.
"It's just a matter of raising hands." Jing Dao waved his hand casually.
"No, maybe it's just a small task for you, but for that girl you gave her a second life." Walker said with a serious and persistent look on the monk's face.
After Walker said this, Xiu Dao felt that his attitude was too casual, so he reached out to pat Walker's shoulder, "Well~ we should be in awe of life, just as my daughter said."
"Thank you again. I have other things to deal with, so I'll leave first." Walker bowed and turned around and walked away. The crowd over there needed him and his companions to sort out to avoid any other problems.
"Hmph, an interesting young man." Xiu Dao looked at the back of the young captain and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go too."
"Father, I don't want to go shopping anymore, I want to go back to the carriage." After the incident just now, Xiu Lian's mood was somewhat affected and she looked a little depressed.
Xiudao looked at his wife secretly. Ling'er knew what he meant, so she stroked her daughter's hair, "It just so happened that, husband, I'm tired of walking around, let's go back to the carriage."
"Okay." Xiu Dao turned around and made a gesture to Ying. Ying drove a black carriage to Xiu Dao. Xiu Dao picked up Xiu Lian like the same princess as before, and took her back to the carriage for her to sit. Just as Xiu Dao turned around and was about to take the wheelchair onto the carriage. A team of guards wearing sky blue lion armor ran over from a distance. Each of them had a silver one-handed sword around their waists, and their steps were neat and uniform, and the footsteps were even more powerful.
The people who had not dispersed all and the guards of the Public Security Administration Office who had cleared the crowd were deeply shocked by this scene. People living in the imperial capital, even the poor at the bottom, were very familiar with this sky blue lion armor suit. It was the iconic armor of His Majesty the Emperor's personal guards, and the personal guards only obeyed the orders and served the Emperor.
"Strange? How could His Majesty's personal guard appear here?" Walker murmured as he looked at the scene. Not only was almost everyone present thinking about this question.
A total of ten people came from the personal guards. They ran all the way to the black carriage and stopped. The five people left and five people stood in two rows. The first guard on the left took a step forward and walked out of the team. After giving an extremely standard guard salute to the Taoist Taoist practice, he said, "Vinster, the captain of the 10th Squad of the Third Battalion of the Personal Guards, has seen Lord Xiu. When Your Majesty heard that Lord came into the city, he sent us to welcome you into the palace. Your Majesty wants to see you."
Captain Vincen's voice was very respectful and the loudness was just right. Everyone around him heard it clearly. Soon another doubt emerged from the hearts of the onlookers, "What is this person? He can actually send his Majesty to send his personal guards to greet him!"
"You are here quickly!" Xiu Dao looked at Vinster and said with a smile, as if he had known that they would come long ago.
"Your Majesty said you should be quick," replied Vincen.
"Then how did you know that I am the one you are looking for? There are many people here?" Xiu Dao smiled and joked.
"We have seen a portrait of Lord Xiu."
"Hey, this guy actually secretly drew my portrait!" Xiu Dao complained with dissatisfaction, "But his news is very informative, and he is almost caught up with my Xiu's family."
"This guy!!! Could it be your Majesty when it comes to speaking, right? It's so disrespectful! Do I want to go back and report it to Your Majesty? But he doesn't seem to care about it at all. Forget it, I'd better stop this little business. Anyway, I didn't say it in front of Your Majesty." Vinster thought in his heart, a drop of cold sweat dripped down his forehead. It's been a while since he became a personal guard, and he has been sent by Your Majesty to greet people once or twice. He has never seen anyone who dares to call His Majesty like this, and he doesn't know how to answer for a while.
"My wife, then you and Lian'er will go home first. I will go back to see His Majesty and then go back. I will have something to tell him." Xiu Dao took Winster's expression and feelings to kiss Ling'er's forehead and got off the carriage.
"Well, Lian'er and I are waiting for you to come back at home." Ling'er responded with a light kiss on Xiu Dao's lips.
"It won't be long, don't worry." Xiu Dao jumped out of the carriage with a smile, and Ying jumped down immediately.
"Hey, why are you joining in the fun? It's safe to go to the palace. You don't have to follow me, go back." Xiu Dao knew what Ying meant, turned to him and said.
"..." Ying pointed to his heart and shook his head.
"Don't worry, you went with me. Who will send my wife and daughter home?"
"..." Ying stretched out her fingers and pointed at Captain Vinster and his personal guards.
"It's not good to bother people like this."
"..." Ying stretched out her hand and insisted.
"If you are disobedient, I won't take you out next time." Jingdao threatened.
“…”
"I...oh~ I really can't resist you. Captain Vinster, please send someone to drive off the carriage and take my family home." Xiu Dao looked at Ying helplessly and said to Captain Vinster.
"Okay, Lord Xiu." Vincen didn't say anything, turned around and assigned someone, "Little Luo, just go."
"Yes, captain." The named guard stepped out of the line and quickly got on the carriage.
Just as Luo was about to wave his whip, the girl jumped off the building suddenly got up from the ground, rushed to the carriage, and knelt on the ground with a "splash", "Sir, please help me."
“Bold…”
The Taoist practice stopped Vincen's rebuke and looked at the girl and said, "I'm going to see Your Majesty now, so I can't let him wait for a long time, right? Let's talk about your affairs when I come back."
"But, sir, I..."
"If you can trust me, I will follow my arrangements." Xiu Dao stepped forward and reached out to help her up without waiting for the girl to finish her sentence.
The girl hesitated for a while and finally choked and nodded, "Okay, OK, sir."
"Well, then Ronaldo, this girl is asking you too."
"Yes, sir."
Vincen interrupted when he saw the opportunity, "Sir Xiu, our carriage is ready, please follow us."
"Okay, you can lead the way."
The Taoist temple and shadow left with the personal guards amid the speculation of the crowd.
On the other side, Ling'er and Xiu Lian took the girl jumping off the building and headed straight to Xiu's house in the Imperial Capital Garden District in a carriage.
