370 Picking a Guard
Yuan Hui knew what the two of them were thinking and rolled his eyes inelegantly. “The child is so young. Does he know how to choose? Let him choose? We might as well take him to the supermarket to shop.”
Although Jiang Ying did not know what Yuan Hui was talking about, he could roughly understand what he meant.
“Forget it. I can’t be bothered to tell you. While Baili is still here, I’ll get him to investigate something. Lend him to me for a few days,” Yuan Hui said.
Ning Yue, who was about to say something, shut up. She chuckled and said, “Uncle, Baili is yours to begin with. You can take him back directly.”
“Don’t. I’m still very worried about you. I’m afraid your guards won’t be able to protect you,” Yuan Hui said.
It was not that he underestimated the people Jiang Ying had sent, but the enemy was too powerful.
Baili was someone he trusted. If he entrusted Ning Yue’s safety to Baili, Baili would definitely do his best to protect her.
Yuan Hui said a few more words before going to look for Baili. “Call the elites of the ten Dragon Scale Guards over.”
He had arranged for these elite guards to protect Ning Yue because he had a feeling that there must be something more to Liu Yun’s death.
While he was still in the capital, there were some things he had to do.
Although Baili was puzzled by Yuan Hui’s actions, he did not ask further and left.
After Yuan Hui left, Jiang Ying also seriously considered Yuan Hui’s problem. Yes, Ning Yue did not have any usable guards by her side. This would not do!
Although he had already given Ah Er and Ah San to Ning Yue, it was not enough.
Jiang Ying thought for a moment and called Ah Er over. He asked about the recent situation and asked Ah Er to go to the military camp to find some new people.
“The military camp?” Ah Er was puzzled. He looked at Jiang Ying. Why did he want him to go to the military camp?
“Uncle should arrange for a few Dragon Scale Secret Guards to be by Yueyue’s side. In that case, there’s no need for us to get any more secret guards. Go to the military camp and find a few guards to specially protect Yueyue in the open.”
Hearing Jiang Ying’s words, Ah Er finally understood and asked Jiang Ying, “Master, what kind of person do we need to find?”
Jiang Ying thought for a moment and said, “Find a few people with simple family backgrounds, good skills, and fast reflexes.”
Ah Er nodded and brought Jiang Ying’s token to the military camp in the suburbs of the capital. The general of this military camp was from the Prince Jin’s Residence. It shouldn’t be difficult for him to ask for guards.
Ah Er told the general why he had come. The general immediately took out the roster from the military camp.
“So many people?” Ah Er was dumbfounded.
“The names are arranged according to age. The ones here are over 30 years old. The ones here are 25 to 29 years old. In front of you are 21 to 24 years old. Beyond that are 15 to 20 years old.”
This setup was really crude. Ah Er complained in his heart.
He opened the roster and checked the ones between the ages of 15 and 20. He chose a few people who met Jiang Ying’s requirements.
There weren’t many people, just five.
“Only five? The rest are fine too.” The general flipped through the list of people over the age of 20.
Ah Er shook his head. Many people above the age of 20 were married. These people focused on supporting their families and earning money. Ah Er was worried that this group of people would not protect Ning Yue wholeheartedly.
The general did not say anything else. He called the five of them to Ah Er and let him test them himself.
To Ah Er’s surprise, almost all five of them passed his test.
He said to everyone, “Prince Jiang asked me to choose a few people to work for the future heiress. When you go to the princess’s side, not only do you have to protect the princess’s safety, but you might also have to do other things for her.” With that, he glanced at the group and saw that there was no expression of disapproval on their faces.
Whether it was going to Prince Jiang’s side or to the future heiress, they were all willing.
In any case, they had come to the military camp to work. Since they were all working, what was the difference?
After a few simple questions, Ah Er brought these people back.
Jiang Ying asked a few questions and told Ning Yue the news. Ning Yue did not say anything.
These days, the situation in the three countries had become a little delicate because of the Black City Kingdom’s military transfer. She had also become the target of the Black City Kingdom, so it was good for her to have one or two more guards by her side.
