Chapter 290: The Unruly and Willful Concubine (9)

Just after midnight, Gu Zhen put down the book in his hand and blew out the candle.

Bi Ru was on duty tonight, guarding the outer room. When she saw that the lights were off in the room, she lay down on the couch at the door and closed her eyes to rest.

It was late at night and there was no sound at all.

Gu Zhen thought that the Dragon Shadow Guard would not come. Just as she lowered the curtain and lay down, she heard a low male voice suddenly from outside.

"I am Long Jia, the servant, and I am honored to meet you, my master. I am late tonight, and I beg for your punishment."

Gu Zhen was startled and almost screamed out loud. This Dragon Shadow Guard was so elusive!

She didn't hear any sound, but the Dragon Shadow Guard had already arrived?

Gu Zhen said softly through the curtain: "It's okay, you are very punctual."

There seemed to be silence outside for a moment, as if he was confirming something, and after a while he replied: "Your servant greets the Imperial Concubine."

Gu Zhen smiled, drew aside the curtain, and lit the candle on the bedside.

Long Jia saw clearly the appearance of the person in front of him. Under the light, she was so delicate that people dared not look directly at her.

In fact, as secret guards, they are familiar with every tree and blade of grass in the palace. He is no stranger to the stunningly beautiful and favored imperial concubine.

But there was no one else in the bed curtain except her.

Several generations of Dragon Shadow Guards have been loyal to the princes and grandchildren of the emperor, but they have never heard that their master is a queen!

Long Jia's eyes became serious, and Gu Zhen didn't even see his movements clearly before he was grabbed by the neck and pressed on the bed.

"Where's the master?"

The voice was icy cold, as if it came from hell. Gu Zhen felt a chill all over his body, and even in this hot summer, he broke out in a cold sweat.

It seems that if you answer the wrong question, you will go to see the King of Hell in the next second.

As expected, the Dragon Shadow Guards, who are loyal to the royal family, will not be easily convinced.

Gu Zhen adjusted her attitude and looked at him calmly.

This man should be the leader of this generation of Dragon Shadow Guard. Naturally, he couldn't hide anything when meeting his master, so he didn't put on any disguise.

Unexpectedly, he was born with a good-looking face, with a stern face, sharp edges, starry eyes full of murderous intent, and a pair of eyebrows slanting into his temples, but he was too cold and hard.

Shouldn't a secret guard have an ordinary appearance so that he can be invisible when thrown into a crowd of people?

Longjia narrowed his eyes. The imperial concubine is not afraid?

The neck under his palm was so fragile that it could be broken with just a little force.

"The dragon walks on the crimson air, and the voice of the sky can be heard. Long Jia, you are so brave!" Gu Zhen shouted in a low voice, and his momentum was not inferior to others.

When Long Jia heard this command, he was shocked and immediately let go of his hands and knelt on the ground. "I deserve to die. The Dragon Shadow Guards have been loyal to the royal family for generations. I wonder how the imperial concubine got the command?"

Seeing the password and the jade pendant is like seeing the master in person. No matter what the situation, you have to kneel down.

Gu Zhen sat up straight, still unconvinced. She took out the jade pendant from her collar and said, "Does the Dragon Shadow Guard's rules mention that your master must be a member of the royal family?"

Long Jia was stunned. This was indeed not stated explicitly, but they were called the Dragon Shadow Guards. Emperor Taizu spent countless manpower and financial resources to build this team. Wasn't it for the sake of future generations?

"I have the jade pendant and I know the password. If you still have questions, feel free to ask me one by one. You can judge for yourself whether I am the successor chosen by the late emperor."

Long Jia was kneeling there with his posture straight. Just looking at his agile body one could tell that he had extraordinary martial arts skills.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I have 28 brothers and our lives depend on the master. Naturally, we have to ask for clarification on some matters. This is the rule."

Gu Zhen nodded and waited patiently.

Long Jia asked in detail about the origin of the Dragon Shadow Guard, where their secret base was, and finally how to control the poison in their bodies.

Gu Zhen answered them one by one without hesitation, and even smiled meaningfully at the end: "The last mission given to the Dragon Shadow Guard by the late emperor was to find the treasure left by the previous dynasty. Has the previous Dragon Armor completed it?"

Long Jia had already believed it 80% before, and after hearing the last sentence, he no longer dared to doubt it. The late emperor had actually told the imperial concubine about this mission.

"My lord, the mission has been accomplished. I, Long Jia, the leader of the eighth generation Dragon Shadow Guard, pay my respects to you, my lord."

This time his posture was extremely submissive, and he knelt there much more respectfully.

Gu Zhen once again marveled at the beauty of the God’s perspective. The late emperor must have had a bad memory, otherwise why would he write down everything?

"Stand up and talk. I will give you an explanation."

Long Jia obeyed his master's orders absolutely and stood up immediately. Dressed in a black nightgown, he stood in a place where the candlelight could not reach, blending into the darkness with no sense of existence.

He is a man with a temperament and appearance that is not inferior to others, but he always finds a way to hide everything.

"During the last few months of the late emperor's life, the 28 members of the Seventh Generation Dragon Shadow Guard were all out searching for treasures from the previous dynasty. Naturally, they were unaware of the transaction between me and the late emperor."

The ambiguous words made Long Jia think of the previous Long Jia. His master said that the previous emperor was licentious and liked young and beautiful girls.

Could it be that the imperial concubine and the late emperor...

He quickly shook the thought out of his mind.

"Are you the successor chosen by the previous Dragon Armor?" Gu Zhen asked suddenly. The man in front of him looked to be only in his early twenties.

The seventh generation served the previous emperor, and she is the eighth generation.

According to the Dragon Shadow Guard's discipline, every Dragon Shadow Guard must be buried with his master. Presumably, this group of people have been secretly training successors, waiting for the new master to appear and immediately hand over the responsibility.

Longjia bowed his head in response.

"Tell the others not to worry about who the master is. I will give you a good future in the future."

The method of training secret guards was extremely cruel, and Gu Zhen was not willing to pass this method on.

If one could survive, who would be willing to hide in the shadows and not be able to see anyone?

But Gu Zhen also knew that they might not fully trust her, the new master who came from an illegitimate background.

Dragon Shadow Guard was poisoned and had to take medicine at irregular intervals every month, and endure the pain of being bitten by thousands of insects.

It is unbearable for ordinary people.

Isn’t the current surrender a kind of compromise?

"The new emperor's succession to the throne was not fair, and the previous emperor was not happy about it. He did not want the Dragon Shadow Guard to fall into Zhan Linxiao's hands. You don't have to suspect that I will harm the royal family. This world still belongs to Zhan."

Gu Zhen smiled and said that the last name was not important. What mattered was whose blood was flowing in the body.

"Send a few people to the north to protect General Gu Yun's life. If anything goes wrong, bring your head back to me."

Long Jia had no objection and knelt down to accept the order.

"You stay by my side and wait for orders. The antidote in the hands of the Dragon Shadow Guards will probably only last for another half a year. I will prepare more in a few days."

"Your servant thanks the master." Long Jia's voice was very low, but it could be clearly heard by Gu Zhen.

It was late at night, and Gu Zhen's eyes were sleepy. She waved her hand for him to leave. Long Jia moved and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

From beginning to end, Bi Ru, who was keeping watch outside, did not hear any unusual movement.

Gu Zhen was in a good mood. After eliminating a major helper of Zhan Linxiao, it was time for her to take action.
