(512), short-hearted
- Every morning, there is a thick stack of briefbooks piled on the desk. They come from the 12 castle gates in and around Kyoto, and also include a record of events after a one-night tour of the four castles. This is only a day's work, to review the first batch of official documents related to the security and order of the whole city.
Even if the war has stopped and the world is peaceful, as a professional soldier who has been honed from more than ten years of war, he will not relax his military vigilance just because he has lived in a stable situation for several years.
Although the attack is defended, for the work of defending the city and maintaining order in the inner city, the commander is in accordance with the steps of advancing in batches. Morning, noon, and evening each line, three hours of Wen Jiàn shelved time, is already the limit of his peace of mind delay.
If he piled up all the official documents of the day until the afternoon, he thought that he would probably miss some key business opportunities.
Even at present, the order of people's livelihood in and around Kyoto is so harmonious and relaxed, and there is no tension and fierce atmosphere like the period of wolf-smoke and earth-shattering battles.
Kyoto is recuperating, and he, as the supreme commander of the garrison, has to keep his eyes open and be wary of the ambition wolves that may exist in the four fields.
After reviewing and approving the first batch of official documents that had been piled up on the table in the morning, the commander of the Kyoto garrison, Rigai, was finally able to stand up and walk away from the large desk and out of the study where the sunlight could not fully shine in outside.
When he went out, the sun was already dazzling and fell on his body, and he squinted slightly. I don't know how many times it was, but he quickly persuaded himself without any suspense that he should continue to work in this position!
The lazy heart is only something that I think about occasionally, and I can't do it true.
Li Gai walked to the backyard of the garrison mansion. There was a small platform made of cobblestones, but he would stand on it for a while every morning, after he had cleared and sorted out the first batch of official documents.
Naturally, he didn't want to stand there empty, but in a way that he was used to, he wanted to awaken and move every inch of his body.
For the supreme martial arts scriptures, after more than 20 years of continuous practice and self-study, he had already raised his martial arts from the inside to the outside to an almost metaphysical realm a few years ago. The reputation of the Kyoto Warrior God was not parachuted to him because of the emperor's favor. Although he is now a man in officialdom. But his name is put in the rivers and lakes, and he is also admired by the heroes of the green forest.
The principle of subduing people with force can be manifested very simply and directly most of the time.
Now. The way he practiced every day no longer required big movements or swinging swords and swords. The external strength is practiced internally, the internal force is slowly and externally absorbed, the energy is mixed into one, and the mind melts into the driving action. That is, the martial arts scriptures and meanings he mastered.
But in the eyes of others, the movements he showed when he stood on the small cobblestone platform at this time were like a disabled patient with comminuted fractures all over his body, and when the broken bones and tendons in his body had just healed, he cautiously walked out of the ward and began to try to do some stretching exercises.
It seems that he is afraid of tearing off the broken tendons and veins that have just been bonded. So every movement of his seems so slow and so light.
The backyard of the Commander's Mansion. The lighthouse where Wu Shu and Mo Ye were curled up and hid was about ten zhang away from the small cobblestone platform where Li Gai was standing.
However, because the sky was clear, and the top of the lighthouse was originally the best overlook reconnaissance point in the mansion. So the two of them didn't need to concentrate too much, and looked through the jagged brick stacks on the edge of the sentry trough on the lighthouse. You can clearly see Li Gai's whole body, including the slight rotation of his fingers when his palm is slowly turning over, and the slight shift of the angle at which he is standing.
For Li Gai, Mo Ye felt a little unfamiliar. Although she now knew that he was one of the two righteous brothers that Master was close to and respected during his lifetime, and he was also Wu Shu's boss, and he also had a certain amount of kindness to Wu Shu, these were just messages she heard with her ears.
Looking back, the master took care of her as well as his own father, but his brother-in-law didn't pay much attention to her, even if he lived in Kyoto and were almost close to each other, he never came to see her once.
There is no need to guess whether he is so indifferent because he doesn't know her yet, but only that Wu Shu is what he sent to her.
Wu Shu himself said that long before he came to find Mo Ye, the archive office in the group had already provided him with a copy of Mo Ye's file.
Mo Ye didn't mean to take advantage of the master's shadow to reach the backer of the commander.
In the past three years of growth, she has changed not only her physique that has become tough after practicing martial arts, but also her thinking power, and she has not relaxed for a day. She had already vaguely felt that before her life experience was clear, it seemed that she could not lightly borrow the power of some bright person.
Even in the old days, when the master took care of and protected her so much, she had to be in seclusion to maintain that temporary peaceful situation. Once he returned to Beijing, he implicated her after his identity was revealed, and he immediately had an accident.
In addition to this potential entanglement in the bad environment around her, which made her dare not move, there were also some spiritual changes from her heart, which made her resolve as early as three years ago, at least to arm herself with her own efforts first, instead of facing anything, and thinking about relying on others at the first time - although gradually she also felt that even if the master passed away so suddenly, there seemed to be so many people she could rely on after that.
Wu Shu, Ruan Luo, Ye Nuonuo, Wang Zhe...... If she relies on these people, she should be able to easily eat and wear without worrying about food and clothing in this life, have a medical treatment and a room for illness, and definitely have an identity that is definitely not lower than that of an ordinary person's daughter, and even more expensive than it.
Before he was confident that he was strong enough and strong enough to walk alone, Mo Ye decided to keep the status quo first. The many relationships she has at present are only the cornerstone of her full wings, but such a comfortable living environment is by no means the result of a few years of change in her true ambitions.
After the ambition is firm, he will concentrate on working in that direction, and the way Mo Ye works hard is to accumulate his own ability day by day, and he walks very steadily. If it weren't for Wu Shu suddenly bringing her here today, she would have almost forgotten that in Kyoto, there is also a very close to her, Master's brother-in-law. She had to call him an honorific one: Uncle Li.
But as soon as this elder was mentioned, a vague and profound image would soon appear in Mo Ye's mind. The impression is vague because she hasn't really dealt with this elder head-on. And the impressive part is because three years ago, this elder once carried out the punishment with his own hands and beat Wu Shu to almost all over his body.
Because of this incident, Mo Ye's impression of this elder was not very good.
Even if Wu Shu really committed any mistakes and deserved to be punished, this incident at least proves that this Uncle Li will not show mercy to his close subordinates if he wants to do it.
Wu Shu's status in Mo Ye's heart was close to that of a relative, so no matter what reason he was injured, she would be worried, and no matter who injured him, it was difficult for her to be kind to that person.
Maybe Mo Ye's reverse heart to protect his shortcomings is very small and ridiculous in Li Gai's opinion, and he can't change his decision, but the bias of his feelings is so unreasonable, and he doesn't necessarily have to do something to prove that it exists.
There is no need to prove, even just a look, that is, it can be expressed.
Shrinking from the lighthouse and peeking at the middle-aged man who was stepping on the cobblestone platform to practice, Mo Ye felt fear in his heart, and there was a hint of hostility in his eyes.
The last time Wu Shu took her to the Commander's Mansion to steal books, obviously he didn't make any movement, but the next day he was severely punished, it turned out that Wu Shu's careful actions in the moonless night were finally invisibly exposed, which shows the fineness of the middle-aged man's insight on the ground, like wheat mang's back, and quietly, he is very restrained.
Therefore, Mo Ye was very unconfident at this time, and he didn't know if he and Wu Shu had exposed their whereabouts now.
If he was caught by that middle-aged man again this time, would Wu Shu be beaten again? After thinking about it, the timing of Wu Shu's time now is similar to that of three years ago, and it is also a few days before he is about to go to sea...... Beaten again? Going to sea with injuries again?
Although at this time, a thought quickly flashed through Mo Ye's mind: maybe let Li Gai beat Wu Shu violently, so that he was so injured that he could only lie on the bed and not move, and he didn't have to go to sea to risk this year?
But she quickly erased the idea herself. Seriously injured and paralyzed on the bed, or going to sea in good health, Mo Ye didn't dare to choose the former, even if her calculations were well-intentioned, she didn't want to treat Wu Shu in this way.
It's just why did Wu Shu bring her here? And it came in broad daylight.
Isn't the lesson of the last time heavy enough?
Last time Wu Shu brought her here, he left her on a small building not far away halfway, and didn't really bring her in. Then he infiltrated the Commander's Mansion alone, hiding his body in the night, and he came and went so freely that he was still discovered.
In front of the real powerhouse, Mo Ye's self-knowledge is also very clear and thorough. Although she also has a bit of martial arts now, with her basic martial arts, I am afraid that she is as clumsy as a newborn child in front of Li Gai.
But today, Wu Shu actually wanted to bring her, a person who couldn't help and might have to drag her feet, into the Commander's Mansion, and she was so close to Li Gai almost head-on, didn't she deliberately send herself forward to be beaten?
Shrunk down on the lighthouse and observed in silence for a long time, Wu Shu's expression was quite calm, and his eyes were still fixed on a perspective.
Seeing him like this, Mo Ye didn't dare to move his mind. She forcibly suppressed all the doubts and uneasiness in her heart, and only followed Wu Shu's actions, and stared at all the actions of the person on the ground, not daring to relax in the slightest-
