Chapter 376: I just want everyone who is loyal to her to live a good life
Yu Jiuer teased her: "Why, are you so moved that you want to marry me?"
How could she not know that this always cold and expressionless secret guard could also cry?
This is so strange!
Yueying said in a hoarse voice: "Since I was young, my mother told me that people are divided into different classes, and there are differences between the noble and the humble. After escaping the famine, I became an orphan, and my understanding of the status and rank has become more profound."
The laws of the Great Dong Dynasty stipulated that people of low status and slave status could not be freed from their status unless they made significant contributions to the country, unless the emperor issued an imperial decree.
Her slave status caused her to suffer countless ridicules and hardships since childhood.
"Have you ever been bullied in the secret guard camp of Rong Mansion because of your slave status?" Yu Jiuer couldn't believe it. After all, the four great guards who also came from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shadow, and the other secret guards arranged by Jun Mo to be around her were all quite cute.
Yueying shook her head and said, "No, the Dark Guard Camp treats everyone equally, regardless of gender, age, or rank. The bullying of slaves happened before they entered the Dark Guard Camp."
But even so, in the Dark Guard Camp, she still felt inferior because of her slave status, so much so that she didn't even dare to say much. Years of habit made her taciturn.
"As a secret guard, your background is actually not that important. Don't take it too seriously!" Yu Jiuer patted her shoulder to comfort her.
Yueying lowered her head and said with a somewhat aggrieved tone: "The four guards around the prince are not slaves. They can follow the prince just because of their good performance, and they also have positions. I envy them very much."
And she, although she was better than the other four in martial arts and other aspects, could only wait for missions in the Dark Guard Camp, which always made her feel resentful.
Now, she is finally free from slavery!
Yu Jiuer smiled and said to her, "So it's because of this? Don't worry, you stay with me now, and when we bring down the new emperor, I will ask the emperor to reward you according to your merits, and we will also ask for a fifth-rank guard position!"
"No!" Yueying shook her head upon hearing this, "It's good for me to follow my master now. I don't want to leave my master!"
After Yueying finished speaking, she couldn't help but shed tears.
"Don't cry! This is what you and Shadow deserve! You are both amazing people!" Yu Jiuer took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Also, don't call yourself a 'slave' anymore!"
"I obey my orders!"
Hearing this, the six female killers happily surrounded Yueying and congratulated her on escaping slavery and gaining a new life.
Shadow's attitude towards escaping slavery is completely opposite to Moonshadow's.
In the evening, when Yu Jiuer handed him the indenture and told him that he had been freed from slavery, he did not show much expression on his face. He only frowned and then respectfully bowed to her: "Thank you, Master!"
Yu Jiuer was speechless for a moment. She had gone to great lengths to change his slave status, which not only cost her a large sum of money, but she had also used her title of third place in the imperial examination and Princess Jing's to get things done through the back door. Was it of no help to him at all?
There is really no sense of accomplishment!
However, this shows that Shadow's mentality is better than others. In this feudal era with a clear hierarchy, Shadow's mentality makes her admire him.
Yu Jiuer gave him a thumbs up: "You are quite open-minded about the hierarchy, not bad!"
Shadow shrugged: "Aren't slaves and good people the same? Aren't the daily tasks the same? Anyway, I am by your side, and you won't treat me differently because of my status. It doesn't matter!"
"If I escape from slavery, I can at least live a more dignified life, have more opportunities, and maybe even become an official!"
“Hehe!” Shadow scratched his head and said with a bow, “Master, I am actually a person who is indifferent to worldly affairs and never cares about other people’s opinions. I am lucky to be by your side. Even if you give me a noble status and let me leave you, I am unwilling to do so.”
Yu Jiuer raised the corners of her lips, her eyes a little hot. She didn't ask the servants around her to be grateful to her, she only asked them to live with more dignity than others.
The war is about to begin, and these secret guards who are loyal to her will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives to protect her. What she can do for them is really nothing.
In the following days, she devoted herself to the Yulin Army's arsenal, assisting the army in manufacturing bows and crossbows and other weapons, while waiting for the arrival of assassins from various branches of her Black Wind Society.
The group of Black Wind Society killers who had come with her to Yinshan County were now having a great time in the forest.
The Western Region soldiers in the forest were fooled around.
Jun Mo was right. It was very appropriate to let this group of people deal with the Western Region soldiers in the forest. It would not alert the enemy and could drive them away at the same time.
Three years ago, the five killers of the Black Wind Society who had sneaked into Yinshan County with the criminals to commit crimes had been detained by the Yulin Army and forced to work in the fields. They were not released until Yu Jiuer, the leader of the Black Wind Society, came to Yinshan County.
When they learned that the Yinshan County Magistrate had become their new leader, the expressions on the five men's faces were very interesting.
They knelt together in front of Yu Jiuer and admitted their mistakes: "We almost brought disaster to the chief leader's hometown. We are sorry! If we knew that you would become our chief leader one day, we would have accepted the mission even if we were beaten to death!"
After so many twists and turns, they actually became one of our own?
"You have been working in the Yulin Army for more than two years. It's even now!" Seeing their faces full of laughter and tears, Yu Jiu couldn't help laughing and raised his hand to signal them to stand up.
"From now on, we are a family. Yinshan County is the home of the Black Wind Society. Welcome to join us!"
"Thank you, Chief!"
The people who came to watch the fun after hearing the news were very enthusiastic. Yu Jiuer said that they were a family, so they were a family, and she immediately invited them home for dinner.
From then on, the five people reconciled themselves with Yinshan County and followed Rulai Fu to the forest to capture the Western Region soldiers.
Fifteen days later, the assassins of the Black Wind Society arrived in Yinshan County one after another. Yu Jiuer simply asked them to live in Tuofeng Ridge in the forest. The terrain there was high, which was perfect for them to practice paragliding.
Anyway, they are very ferocious and they are always hoping to meet some soldiers from the Western Regions to play with them, so that they can have enough fun now.
Fifteen days later, that evening, there were lightning and thunder in the sky, and it got dark early.
Jian Yi hurried into the mansion and reported: "Your Majesty, 10,000 soldiers from Miaojiang have arrived in Yinshan County and are waiting at the farm square."
Upon hearing this, Yu Jiuer and Jun Mo immediately went out hand in hand to welcome them.
Just as Jun Mo was reminiscing about the past with the generals and listening to them sighing at the shock and surprise that Yinshan County had brought them, something even more "surprising" happened.
The old emperor came back from work on the farm, carrying a white cloth bag. No one knew what treasure was inside, and he refused to let Eunuch Cao touch it.
When he passed the square, he turned his head and unexpectedly saw a large group of soldiers suddenly appearing in the square. He was so surprised that he shouted: "Ah!"
The generals who had seen the old emperor were so frightened when they heard the voice and saw him that they fell silent.
After a while, someone shouted: "What the hell!"
Then, someone screamed in horror: "Ghost!"
