- Li Gai walked to the backyard of the garrison mansion, where 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 member of officialdom, his name is 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.

Nowadays, the way he practices every day no longer requires big movements or swinging swords. Practicing the external power internally, slowly refining the internal force, mixing the energy and power, and melting the mind 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.

As if he was afraid of tearing off the broken veins that had just been glued, every movement he made seemed so slow and so light.

In the backyard of the Commander's Mansion, the lighthouse where Wu Shu and Mo Ye curled up and hid, and the small cobblestone platform where Li Gai stood while practicing. The distance is about ten zhang away.

However, because the sky was clear, and the top of the lighthouse was originally the best overlooking reconnaissance point in the mansion, the two of them did not need to concentrate too much, and they could clearly see Li Gai's whole body through the gap in the jagged brick stack on the edge of the sentry trough on the lighthouse, including the slight rotation of his fingers when his palm was slowly turning over at this moment, and the slight shift of the angle at which he was 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 had been close to and respected during his lifetime. He is also Wu Shu's boss. And she also has a certain amount of grace to Wu Shu, but these are just messages she heard with her ears.

Looking back, Master's care for her was already worthy of her own father. But his brother didn't pay much attention to her. Even though he lives in Kyoto. Almost close to each other, and they have never looked for her once.

There is no need to guess if he is so indifferent because he does not yet know about her existence. only said that Wu Shu was sent to her by him.

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 easily 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 honorific: "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 "short-sightedness" heart is very small and ridiculous in Li Gai's opinion, and he can't change his decision, but the bias of feelings is so unreasonable, and he doesn't necessarily have to do something to prove that it exists.

It doesn't need to be proven, even just a look, to show that it exists.

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, he obviously 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, so it can be seen that the middle-aged man's insight on the ground is fine, like wheat on his back. And quietly, he is very reserved.

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 collapsed on the bed. Or a healthy and healthy sea. 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?

The last time Wu Shu brought her here, he left her on a small building not far away halfway. Didn't really bring her in. He then infiltrated the Consul's Mansion on his own. Hide your body in the night. came and went so freely, and they were all 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. But with her basic martial arts, I'm afraid she will be 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 kept an eye on all the actions of the person on the ground, not daring to relax in the slightest.

After peeking down for a long time with such a tense spirit and concentrated eyes, Mo Ye only saw the middle-aged man on the small cobblestone platform slashing an arc in mid-air with one fist and one palm, and the overall body shape could be regarded as having obvious movements, so he turned his face and turned his back to her side.

It's probably just a move.

In the martial arts gym move training that Mo Ye had watched over the wall before, a change of posture may be a blink of an eye. But all martial arts moves, on the basis of action standards, don't they all require a "fast"?

But the commander in a black satin robe not far in front of him who had not temporarily changed his official uniform because of his practice was surprisingly slow, and it took nearly half a column of incense to turn around.

But Mo Ye didn't dare to slack off at all, because she knew that the height of that person's martial arts was terrifying. She didn't know how high the middle-aged man's martial arts were, but she was more afraid of him, just because of him, she got two messages: it was easy to be caught, and it was easy to be punished heavily after being caught.

So Mo Ye didn't want to stay here anymore.

When the middle-aged man turned around, Mo Ye only felt that the tingling feeling that was vaguely forcing his gaze seemed to have disappeared a lot. She still didn't dare to relax in the slightest, but as the pressure loosened slightly, she couldn't help but glance sideways at Wu Shu beside her.

――Presumably, the middle-aged man in the courtyard below has to wait for him to change his body shape and turn around with his current practice speed, and he will have to use half a stick of incense, right?

I hope to seize this short time and persuade Wu Shu to find a way to leave quickly, no matter what the reason for his coming here is, let's talk about it when he goes back.

The space on the trough on the lighthouse was limited, Mo Ye and Wu Shu sat very close to each other, as if they felt a gaze on their faces, and Wu Shu also looked sideways slightly, so he met Mo Ye's gaze.

Mo Ye hesitated for a moment, not daring to speak, but she really wanted to ask, so she moved her exaggerated mouth shape and said silently: Let's go!

After "saying" these four words, Mo Ye also raised his eyebrows to show solemnity.

In addition to seeing the changes in the shape of Mo Ye's lips, Wu Shu could almost discern the subtle embodiment of the expansion and contraction of the tip of her tongue, and of course it was not difficult to read what she was going to say.

In his profession, he actually has the training skill of "speaking", that is, to convey information by simply observing or expressing the shape of the mouth, which can be used in many places. He didn't teach Mo Ye to learn this, but this skill actually existed on its own in the folk, but it didn't have the exquisite and concise creation of a complete set of rules like in his group.

But even those who have not learned these things can express some simple words in this way without a teacher, and the key is that the person who "reads" must be able to understand.

For this, Wu Shu is of course fully competent.

Facing Mo Ye's words, Wu Shu stared for a moment, and then also moved his mouth: "Qianzhaojing." ”

Mo Ye practiced this exercise every day, so he would recite its name in his heart more or less several times a day, just like a person would first glance at the name of a book before reading it. The three words that are extremely familiar also made it easy for Mo Ye to "read" the shape of Wu Shu's mouth.

After pondering the three words Wu Shu said in his mind, a look of surprise gradually appeared on Mo Ye's face.

Three years ago, after Wu Shu came here to steal books, he told her that what he stole was only the fascicle of the "Qianzhao Sutra".

At this time, she couldn't believe that Wu Shu was going to make a move in broad daylight this time, and the owner of this Commander's Mansion was still in front of her!

The corners of Mo Ye's lips moved, and she was about to "speak" in the way she had just now, when she saw Wu Shu move her mouth, and "said" three words: "Look carefully." ”

Mo Ye's slightly anxious expression just now was stagnant again, she seemed to understand a little, her first thought was a little stupid, maybe she was too nervous.

In the middle of the day, in front of his extremely strong boss, he came to steal books in his mansion? How could Wu Shu do this kind of thing directly, but he had to take her to the Commander's Mansion when his boss was practicing, and he had to squat opposite his boss, so there was only one possibility, to observe the steps of his boss's practice.

And thinking of Wu Shu "saying" the three words "Qianzhao Sutra", the current Mo Ye can also understand why Wu Shu wants to bring her to the back house of the Commander's Mansion, just because the exercises she practices are actually the same as the Commander's Lord!

Maybe it's a little different, she doesn't practice the full set.

But this was enough to make Mo Ye feel extremely shocked in his heart.

And just when Mo Ye was slightly stunned, she felt that her hand held by Wu Shu was closed tightly for a moment, and she suddenly came back to her senses. Immediately afterward, she saw that the middle-aged man not far away had turned around, and the moves he had revealed when he practiced had also changed.

At this time, his left hand was behind his back, and only his right arm was outstretched, hanging in the air, and he was slowly closing towards his chest. The palm of his hand was flat, palm upward, as if it was holding something fragile, for as he moved, his gaze was fixed on that hand, and his face looked a little focused.
