Chapter 602: Abandoned Child (6)
Seeing the person coming, the delicate figure on the bed subconsciously pulled the quilt tightly, as if the thin fabric could give her some sense of security.
I saw her body trembling slightly, pretending to be frightened, curled up in the corner of the bed like a frightened little white rabbit.
Wu Dejing walked slowly around the screen with steady steps. Seeing this, the maid beside him hurriedly reminded her softly, "Young lady, this is our master - His Royal Highness Prince Jing. It was because of his help that you were saved."
Hearing this, the frightened person poked his head out timidly, his big watery eyes full of gratitude, and asked with a trembling voice: "Thank you for saving my life, Your Majesty! I have no way to repay you. Excuse me... Can I go home now?"
"This..." The maid looked embarrassed and turned to look at Wu Dejing. The man looked gloomy and waved his hand imperceptibly, saying indifferently, "Go down. I have something to say to this girl alone."
After everyone left, only Wu Dejing and the girl on the bed were left in the huge room. At this time, Wu Dejing stared at the girl on the bed with a sharp gaze.
The seemingly weak, helpless and pitiful woman in front of him was completely different from the person who held a sharp blade yesterday, was brave and ruthless, and was even able to kill Concubine Xiao's most capable secret guard assistant with one sword.
Wu Dejing no longer beat around the bush and reached into his sleeve, pulled out a gleaming dagger, handed it to the girl, and said slowly, "Girl, is this dagger yours? I accidentally dropped it here during the fight last night."
Seeing that her dagger was lost, Gu Yuxi quickly reached out to catch it, and at the same time got off the bed and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Thank you for saving my life, my benefactor. I will never forget your kindness, and I will repay you handsomely one day."
"Get up. You don't need to thank me. I need your blood to save an important person. You cannot die before the person is saved."
"Yes, I survived this disaster thanks to my benefactor's rescue. It's just a little blood, it's nothing to worry about."
Gu Yuxi took the dagger and wiped it carefully. In her memory, it seemed that a man was standing in the endless grassland and solemnly handed the dagger to her, but she could not remember what the man looked like.
Looking at Gu Yuxi, who looked indifferent and stubborn, Wu Dejing pondered in his heart and decided not to beat around the bush. "Girl, we are all sensible people, so let's not hide it. Did you kill those people last night?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuxi's eyes flickered slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and responded lightly: "I don't know." Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but it revealed a firmness.
Upon hearing this, Wu Dejing frowned and asked, "Really?" However, in the face of his questioning, Gu Yuxi just closed his lips and said nothing.
Seeing this, Wu Dejing couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak girl would be so stubborn.
However, he did not give up. After a brief thought, he suddenly threw out a series of sharp questions: "Girl, do you know who killed Baicao Gu? Who carefully planned and caused your family to be destroyed? And who is the mastermind behind the scenes who is pursuing you by any means necessary?"
These words hit Gu Yuxi like a heavy hammer. Her delicate body trembled, and her eyes, which had been calm before, suddenly ignited with anger. She asked anxiously, "Who is it? Tell me quickly!"
Seeing that Gu Yuxi finally responded, Wu Dejing raised his lips slightly and said, "Girl, don't you intend to tell me the truth? Don't you want to kill your enemies with your own hands to comfort the souls of your deceased relatives in heaven?"
At this time, Gu Yuxi's breathing was a little rapid, and her chest was heaving, but she still suppressed her emotions and said through gritted teeth: "Your Highness Prince Jing, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. I hate beating around the bush the most."
Wu Dejing laughed, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "The girl is indeed very smart. In this case, I will speak frankly. To be honest, I need the girl to cooperate with me. As long as the girl is willing to lend a helping hand, I will do my best to help the girl avenge her blood feud!"
Gu Yuxi stared at Wu Dejing with a sharp gaze and asked coldly, "Are you trying to use me to eliminate dissidents?"
"That's also your enemy, but you can't kill him with your current abilities. I can give you a few years to let you grow. How about that?"
Gu Yuxi: Everyone can draw a pancake!
The original owner was easy to fool. It was not an easy task to become Wu Dejing's secret guard, but who could have told her that she had never experienced this before? She had to use this identity to go to Lin Yundu.
"Deal, but the time is mutual. Ten years is the agreement. If I cannot meet your request after ten years, I will die to apologize. If you can meet your request, the grudge between you and me will be written off. It can be regarded as my way of repaying your life-saving grace."
This was the first time Wu Dejing encountered someone bargaining. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be grateful and work hard for him, but this girl was different. He negotiated with her, "Miss, didn't you say just now..."
"You asked for my blood and my half-baked medical skills to save your life. This is already a way of repaying my kindness. Don't be too greedy. Let's sign an agreement. What do you say?"
Seeing Gu Yuxi so alert, Wu Dejing couldn't help but admire her in his heart, but it was a pity that she was a girl.
"In that case, let's sign a contract. No one can deny their debt in the future. You also need to meet my standards and stay by my side as a secret guard."
"I need to know the murderer of Granny Baicao."
"You don't have the ability to take revenge now. The period is three years. After three years, if you meet the requirements, I will tell you the mastermind behind the murder of Baicao Gu, and..."
"And what? Your Highness, please tell me directly."
"And your identity, you will be interested in it later." Wu Dejing sat aside, raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl next to him, thinking that the fish had been hooked.
"My identity?" Gu Yuxi murmured, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and continued: "It's interesting, Your Highness King Jing, I agree with this transaction, and we also need a written certificate between you and me. Please let me go free on the expiration date."
Wu Dejing drummed his fingers on the table. He couldn't help but look up to this woman who was neither humble nor overbearing. He said to the air, "Ye Yi, paper and pen."
Suddenly, a masked man in black appeared in the room. He put paper and pen on the table and began to grind ink. Gu Yuxi next to him took the pen first and wrote a document.
Wu Dejing looked at the pleasing and elegant running script and became more interested in Gu Yuxi. He began to press his fingerprints nonchalantly.
"Remember, for the next ten years you will be my secret guard, ranked seventeen, Ye Shiqi. When your injuries are healed, Ye Yi will take you to where you should go."
"Yes!"
"Seventeen, you should have a good rest. I will come to see you in a few days."
