Chapter 328 My name is Li Yuanfang!
Deep in that vague and distant memory, he had forgotten where his home was originally, and only remembered that there was a big elm tree at the door.
When he was still a young child full of curiosity about the world, his relatives, tempted by profit, cruelly sold him and his sister like commodities.
Five strings of cash easily determined the fate of the brother and sister.
They were bought by a group of businessmen.
They originally thought they would be enslaved, but unexpectedly the merchant handed them over to a group of mysterious masked men in black robes.
They call themselves the Shadow Secret Guards, hiding countless unknown secrets and ulterior motives.
The name the little boy once had was completely abandoned after this incident.
The film official gave him a new name with an expressionless face - Li Yuanfang, and from then on, he was called this name.
For the next seven years, he was trapped in an underground palace that was like a maze. It was dark, damp, and filled with an oppressive atmosphere.
Every day, he undergoes intensive training, which shapes him into a loyal and efficient Shadow Guard.
Countless times, he felt that he was about to be crushed by the intensity of the Shadow Secret Guard's training, but the concern for his sister in his heart supported him to survive these long seven years.
Finally, he received the first mission in his life - to go to Wenshui County and follow a man named Di Renjie.
His task was simple and clear, which was to follow Di Renjie closely, closely monitor his every move, not miss any details, and report the information obtained in a timely manner.
Li Yuanfang knew that he had no choice at all, as his only sister was also in the Shadow Secret Guard.
The Shadow Secret Guard treated them very well, at least they had enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear.
They had never had such a good life.
After he arrived in Wenshui County, he wandered around the streets and alleys of the county for a long time.
He tried to find a natural and clever opportunity that would allow him to get to know Di Renjie and carry out his surveillance mission smoothly.
Fate always seemed to like playing tricks on people. He searched for a long time but still couldn't find such an opportunity.
Just when he felt some difficulties, the Shadow Secret Guard brought him a message that the court would send someone to reward Di Renjie, so he obeyed the order and waited on the official road.
He met Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.
These two famous figures in the world exude an extraordinary temperament.
By chance, Li Yuanfang was brought to Di Renjie.
Di Renjie was wearing the official uniform of a county magistrate, and his eyes fell on the ragged Li Yuanfang behind Li Chunfeng.
Di Renjie frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "Sir, who is he?"
Li Chunfeng curled his lips helplessly and said in a slightly teasing tone, "I found a beggar on the way here. He must be mute. I gave him food, but he hasn't even said a word of thanks."
Hearing Li Chunfeng's words, Li Yuanfang slowly lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly, and then he burst into tears.
The crying sound broke the awkward silence. Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were stunned. They looked at Li Yuanfang with suspicion.
In their impression, Li Yuanfang always had a stubborn, even somewhat arrogant look on his face along the way.
But now, why did this kid become a different person and burst into tears when Di Renjie appeared?
Is this guy deliberately acting? Is he trying to use Di Renjie's sympathy to achieve some purpose?
Li Yuanfang's crying made Di Renjie look at Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng with doubts.
His eyes darted back and forth between their faces, trying to discern the truth from their expressions.
After a moment, the doubt in Di Renjie's eyes gradually eased.
After all, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were envoys from Chang'an. They were of noble status and prominent position, and they should not do such despicable and shameless things as trafficking children, let alone bringing the children to him so openly.
Perhaps the child didn't cry or speak before because he lacked trust in the two strangers.
The county magistrate's uniform he was wearing represented the justice of the court. The child obviously knew him, so when he saw him, he lost control of his emotions and burst into tears.
Presumably, this child must have suffered a great injustice!
Thinking of this, Di Renjie felt pity in his heart.
He walked forward slowly, squatted down gently, stretched out his warm palm, gently stroked Li Yuanfang's back which was constantly rising and falling due to sobbing, and asked softly: "Where are you from?"
Seeing that Li Yuanfang did not respond, Di Renjie was not discouraged. He began to patiently comfort him: "The world is now at peace. The wars and turmoil of the past will no longer exist."
"You don't have to be afraid anymore. You won't have to live through hard times anymore. Life will only get better and better!"
Li Chunfeng, who was standing by, was about to say something to spoil the mood, but he felt his sleeve being quietly pulled by Yuan Tiangang.
He looked at Yuan Tiangang with a puzzled look, and Yuan Tiangang signaled to him with his eyes.
Li Chunfeng was shocked to realize that since some time ago, the cursed fate of this kid had disappeared without a trace.
An expression of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, his eyes widened and he stared at Yuan Tiangang, as if trying to find the answer from his eyes.
Yuan Tiangang just shook his head silently.
Di Renjie tried to comfort Li Yuanfang earnestly, but Li Yuanfang was still immersed in his sadness.
His cries echoed in the air, tugging at everyone's heart.
Seeing this, Yuan Tiangang pondered for a moment and then said, "County Magistrate Di, I think this guy is strong and has some strength. The county government is short of manpower right now, so you might as well keep him as a guard!"
Di Renjie was moved when he heard Yuan Tiangang's words. He looked at the frail Li Yuanfang in front of him.
I couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"My Lord, he is so frail, can he do it?"
Yuan Tiangang nodded.
"Yes. Absolutely. If he can't do it, no one can. Just feed him well and take good care of his health. He will definitely be your right-hand man in the future!"
After hearing what Yuan Tiangang said, Di Renjie also began to waver.
He looked at Li Yuanfang.
"Would you like to be my bodyguard?"
Hearing Di Renjie's words, Li Yuanfang raised his head.
Looking at him with tearful eyes.
"As long as I can have a full meal!"
Seeing that he agreed and the request was not high, Di Renjie felt relieved and asked a question.
"what's your name?"
"My name is Li Yuanfang."
