The princess is killing like crazy again

Xiao Yurong still took Xiao Yuxie's warning to heart.

Having a secret guard by your side can help with things, so Xiao Yurong even went to Fuyang Hall to inspect the Fuyang Guard.

Before entering Fuyang Hall, Cuicui asked, "Which of the four departments does the princess want to promote someone from?"

Xiao Yurong was in a good mood. "Which department do you think I will be promoted from?"

"The Mirror Department monitors officials at all levels and handles paperwork. The Flower Department is responsible for undercover work and intelligence gathering, seduction and bribery. The Water Department protects relatives and nobles and performs official duties. The Moon Department carries out secret spies and assassinations, and often carries out dangerous missions." Cuicui told the story.

She made a well-reasoned analysis: "Half of the members of the Water Department are young men from aristocratic families with bright futures. Many of them were imperial guards before they were incorporated into the Fuyang Guards. Even General Cui Qining was like this before. So, I guess the princess will choose from the Water Department."

Xiao Yurong smiled and said, "You guessed right."

Cuicui just smiled, but Xiao Yurong changed the subject and poured cold water on her the next moment: "It's a pity that you are wrong."

"Princess--" Cuicui made a bitter face.

"You've already said it. Cui Mingyang was a royal guard before. Most of the people in the water department are Cui Ci Ning II. He has a bright future ahead of him. Why should we keep him by my side as a guard who never sees the sun for the rest of his life?" Xiao Yurong said.

After he finished speaking, several managers of Fuyang Hall knelt in front of Xiao Yurong and reported today's details to him one by one.

Xiao Yurong said that he wanted to pick people from the Yue tribe, so the head of the Yue tribe took Xiao Yurong directly to the martial arts field and asked all his subordinates to stand up and let Xiao Yurong choose.

The competition in the Moon Department is fierce. Those who can stand out and survive are all tough guys.

On weekdays, they fight to the death for survival resources, just like a gladiatorial arena.

Those people stood in front of Xiao Yurong, each of them was filled with blood and had fierce eyes.

There were too many people, so Xiao Yurong sat on the chair that the host had someone bring over, took the tea, and said, "Tell them to show me their skills."

She sat high on the golden platform, and everyone in the martial arts arena was chosen by her.

The chief understood and said to the Moon Tribe members, "Training will be the same as usual."

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately took the lead in attacking the people around him, and in an instant, the martial arts field turned into a melee.

The people of the Moon Tribe attacked each other, one after another, each move was deadly and merciless.

"Is this how you usually train?" Xiao Yurong asked.

"Yes." The head of the Moon Department quickly replied, carefully guessing what Xiao Yurong meant, "If the princess feels that it is too bloody, I will ask my subordinates to make corrections..."

Xiao Yurong supported his face with his hands and said, "We should select people this way. Those who are selected can learn from each other, but don't let those who are seriously injured or killed easily. They are all good seedlings. They will be of great value in the future if they are cultivated."

Her words were so light and calm that the person in charge felt relieved, but also generous.

The chief was originally worried about Xiao Yurong's kindness, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yurong was only worried about his future value. The Xiao royal family was indeed as heartless and cruel as ever.

"Princess, these people are like this... How can they stay by your side every day?" Cuicui stood behind Xiao Yurong, her eyes full of worry.

Xiao Yurong glanced at her and said, "You think you are barbaric and vulgar now. The Fuyang Guards have done countless dirty and tiring jobs, and they have never seen the secrets of the people below. How can you become a great man?"

Cui Cui paused and said, "Yes."

Xiao Yurong glanced at the people in the Moon Tribe. One of the young men looked young, but he was quite ruthless and stood out because of his outstanding strength.

He reacts quickly, and whenever someone gets close to him, he will fight back even if he gets injured.

Xiao Yurong raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head and ordered: "Bring the bow and arrows."

Everyone below was stunned for a moment, and immediately took out the bow and arrow and presented it to Xiao Yurong.

Xiao Yurong bent his bow and aimed his arrow at the young man.

The first arrow brushed past the boy's hair, but the boy didn't even try to dodge, his entire focus focused on the enemy in front of him.

The second arrow was aimed at the boy's shoulder where he was holding the sword, but this time the boy dodged it in time.

Xiao Yurong shot the third arrow in the direction he predicted the boy would dodge, but the boy moved his body and did not change his position.

Xiao Yurong put down the bow and arrow, curled the corners of his lips, and said, "That's enough."

Everyone in the Moon Tribe stopped, and the young man also stood there panting, blood flowing down his injured arm and dripping along the sword in his hand.

Although he dodged the three arrows shot by Xiao Yurong just now, the fact that he had to divide his body and mind to deal with them interfered with his movements, causing him to be injured by his colleagues.

"You." Xiao Yurong pointed at the young man, "Come closer."

The young man walked forward and stood in front of Xiao Yurong, motionless.

"How dare you! You don't even show respect to the princess?" Cuicui scolded.

Before he finished speaking, the head of the Moon Department kicked the boy on the knee, forcing him to kneel down. "Why don't you kneel down?"

The young man knelt on the ground in silence, his clothes were torn to tatters, his body was covered with wounds of all sizes, and his face was covered in blood.

Xiao Yurong didn't care about getting his hands dirty, and pinched the boy's chin to make him look up, "What's your name?"

The boy raised his face and said, "My name is Ayu."

"The princess's name is repeated." Cuicui reminded in a low voice.

"Now that you have a new master, all the past must be left behind, including your name. How about I give you a new one?" Xiao Yurong didn't care much about this matter and asked casually.

The boy nodded, "I will follow you from now on."

Cuicui muttered, "It's really unruly."

The head of the Yue tribe said, "Princess, this boy is of low birth, a beggar whose parents are unknown, and he joined the Fuyang Guard just to make a living. Although he has excellent physique, his temperament is really... unhuman."

This description is like talking about a young animal that knows nothing. It's almost like saying that this person is very difficult to train and is no different from a wild beast.

After all, this little beggar's parents are unknown, he is young and doesn't talk much, he beats people without mercy and every move is to take people's lives, he is aloof and silent, and he is not likable no matter how you look at him.

It was obvious that they all looked down on him, and he had a very difficult time in the Moon Tribe.

Before Xiao Yurong could say anything, the young man grabbed the hem of her skirt.

The blood-stained hand tightly grasped a corner of the gorgeous dress, leaving several dirty fingerprints on the silk hem.

Xiao Yurong should have been unhappy that her skirt was soiled, but she lowered her eyes and looked down condescendingly.

The hand only carefully grasped a tiny corner of the skirt, but it grasped it very tightly, so tightly that the fingertips began to tremble, as if it was grasping a life-saving straw.

The boy's voice became a little hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time: "I will be obedient..."

"You've soiled the princess's skirt!" Cuicui hurriedly tried to brush the boy's hand away.

"Let him speak." Xiao Yurong raised his hand to stop Cuicui.

The young man raised his dark eyes to look at Xiao Yurong and said awkwardly: "...I will be obedient, take me away..."

Xiao Yurong stared at his face and raised the corners of his lips, "Okay."

Xiao Yurong raised her hand, and Cuicui immediately handed him a handkerchief.

She took the handkerchief, wiped the blood off the boy's face, and said to the head of the Moon Department: "Since I have chosen him, he must have his own use. No need to say more."

Wiping off the blood stains was like washing a pearl clean from dust, revealing a handsome face of a young man.

Xiao Yurong paused. This is...ah, another old friend.

The beggar came from a humble background and had been left idle because of his background, and had not been reused after many twists and turns.

In later times, he reorganized a team composed of all kinds of people, earned a place for himself in the chaotic times, and became one of the heroes.

At that time he was no longer A Yu, but had a dignified name, Yu Shu.

Extraordinary people with extraordinary talents and extraordinary conduct.

Yu Shu can be considered a grassroots hero, but it's a pity that he and Xiao Yurong are incompatible.

However, at that time, Xiao Yurong's main attention was on the rebels led by Cui Liu, so even though he was on guard against this person, he did not pay too much attention to him.

In the end, Xiao Yurong failed in his mission and had no time to care about other things. He also had no other impression of this person.

The biggest impression I had was during a brief confrontation when the bright red jade character on the opposing flag was really an eyesore.

So Xiao Yurong bent his bow and shot the flag bearer. The second arrow was intended to penetrate the general's flag, but Yu Shu cut off the arrow.

After just this brief encounter, the two armies passed each other and went their separate ways without any further disturbance.

Xiao Yurong seemed to hear some dissatisfaction from the other side about her provocative behavior, but they were all suppressed by Yu Shu.

Apart from this, Xiao Yurong's memories of this person were already vague, like a long letter soaked in water, with every word smudged with ink and difficult to discern.

"I said I would give you a new name, so let's call you Shu." Xiao Yurong looked down at the young man solemnly, "Shu means extraordinary talent. Yu Shu, this will be your name from now on."

Extraordinary behavior and extraordinary talent? What does this mean? Yu Shu looked up at Xiao Yurong in confusion.

But he was still happy because he now had his own name, a complete and upright name.

"Extraordinary conduct and extraordinary talent means that one has both extraordinary talent and virtue, which is rare in the world. With such a good meaning, the princess gives you the jade character with a taboo. Why don't you thank the princess for her kindness?" Cuicui said.

Yu Shu kowtowed sincerely and said, "Thank you, Princess, for giving me the name."

Xiao Yurong said, "No need to thank me."

This was originally Yu Shu’s name. It was the name Yu Shu got in his previous life after going through many twists and turns, walking a thorny path that was different from ordinary people, and having a rough journey.

Others may have a name at birth, but Yu Shu had to walk a long way and a long way to get it.

All she did was to return the name to Yu Shu in its original form.

It is despicable to say the least, it is just a way to win people's hearts and win favors.

"You will have a lot to learn when you follow me in the future. The first one is loyalty. Can you do it?" Xiao Yurong asked.

Yu Shu answered firmly in a hoarse voice: "Since you took me away, gave me a name, and provided me with a home, then my life is yours."

Xiao Yurong smiled when he heard this, "Okay."

"Cui Cui, since you are here today, just get things done at once. Have you spread the news?" Xiao Yurong turned around and asked.

Cuicui immediately responded: "Let him go."

"Okay." Xiao Yurong nodded, "Then put it up. Today, I will make this Golden Terrace of Fuyang Hall live up to its name."

Immediately, attendants brought baskets of gold to the stage and placed them in front of Xiao Yurong. Soon, the gold piled up together and looked like a mountain of gold from a distance.

Xiao Yurong was more favored than others. Whenever her father and brother got something good, they would move it to her princess mansion. Her private vault alone contained countless gold, silver and jewels.

Just as Li Yaozhi said, gold is like soil and pearls are like clouds, all of which can be used to recruit talents. If you spread the reputation of being eager to seek talents, you will not be afraid that no one will come.

Xiao Yurong spread the word that she would offer a large sum of money to recruit talented people. Anyone who was certified as capable by her would be given a place to stay. She had thousands of mansions to shelter talented people all over the world.

Only the virtuous should be promoted and only the talented should be employed.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long before all the wise men, young and old, arrived.

Xiao Yurong would welcome any truly powerful person who was willing to live in the princess's mansion as a staff member. The more counselors and generals, the better.

For several days in a row, the Golden Terrace was filled with talented people, and an endless stream of talented people visited.

In front of everyone, Xiao Yurong put the famous sword Yulong from the previous dynasty into a box and gave it to Yu Shu.

She spread the word that Yu Shu was the capable person she had recruited this time, and that he could stay by her side to protect her safety.

Regardless of whether this drama is true or false, regardless of whether others believe it or not, Yu Shu is truly grateful to Xiao Yurong for bringing him out of the Yue tribe and saving him from danger.

Yu Shu opened the box, took out the Jade Dragon Twin Swords, knelt on the ground, and presented the swords to Xiao Yurong with both hands, "I am grateful for your kindness, Princess. I am willing to die for you with the swords."

Report your favor on the golden platform, and bring Yulong to die for the king.

With Xiao Yurong's deliberate efforts, the news spread far and wide, letting all the talented and interested people in the world know that Princess Zhaoyang was eager to recruit talented people and was willing to consider joining her team and working for her.

Naturally, this news reached the ears of many people, including Liu Pinjue, Wang Fuxuan and Li Yaozhi.

Wang Fuxuan and Li Yaozhi have already left their master's house, but whether they are master and apprentice or direct disciples is naturally different.

Xiao Yurong was even more worried, because she was the last disciple of Master Liu, who had many students all over the world, and she entered the room to study under Liu Pinjue.

To put it nicely, Liu Pinjue's previous indifferent attitude towards her seemed to be just to fool Emperor Xiao.

The classes at the Imperial College have ended, but Liu Pinjue has not yet completed his apprenticeship, so Xiao Yurong will also come to attend classes today.

Li Yaozhi talked with Wang Fuxuan and mentioned this matter: "According to the time, His Highness should be here too."

Wang Fuxuan curled his lips sarcastically, "Our junior brother is particularly concerned about Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Liu Pinjue, who was watching the game between the two, paused and said, "Your Junior Sister has become famous in recent days. Many wise men in the world have come to Yujing from afar just for her performance of the Golden Stage."

"I will repay your kindness on the Golden Terrace and help Yulong die for you." The curve of Wang Fuxuan's mouth became more and more sarcastic, "She is so generous that she even gave away the two Yulong swords just for the beggar of Yue Department."

Countless people were coveting this famous sword from the previous dynasty, even the aristocratic families were eagerly eyeing it, and Xiao Yurong actually gave it to them as soon as he said so.

I gave it to you, but I gave it to an unknown beggar.

"What is your highness's intention? Don't you understand, Senior Brother?" Li Yaozhi smiled, "It's just to use the Jade Dragon to build momentum and gain a reputation of being eager to recruit talents."

Wang Fuxuan snorted coldly.
