- Mo Ye chased out a few miles in one breath in the face of that strange shadow, and it only took a while, but she suddenly didn't want to move forward, not because she felt tired, but because she felt a little weird.

She thought that the one who had suddenly plotted against her was an acquaintance, which was a bit strange to say, but it was true that only a few people who knew her well knew her whereabouts, and the unfinished plot was probably just some kind of reminder. But now that she has chased so far away, there is no one around, even if there is something inconvenient to talk about here, the subject should show up, not hide it until now.

Casting a deep gaze at the low forest not far away, Mo Ye watched the gray shadow disappear into it, but she didn't plan to follow it too.

The one who came to her this time may not be an acquaintance.

However, just as Mo Ye was about to turn around and leave for a moment, a voice suddenly came from the forest: "Miss Mo, please stay and talk in detail." ”

Mo Ye's half-turned feet paused again.

Although she had expected that the meeting this time was probably not an acquaintance, she couldn't help but be slightly surprised when she heard this extremely unfamiliar voice. However, on the surface, she still stood silently and said seriously in the direction of the woods: "It's okay to talk in detail, but can you show the sincerity of the detailed talk first?" ”

The man in the woods was obviously also empty-minded, and he quickly understood the meaning of Mo Ye's words, and took over without hesitation: "I'll wait for Miss Mo in the woods below." ”

Mo Ye didn't act according to his words, just raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "With your age and mine, the game of hide and seek is no longer fun, right?" ”

"I didn't mean to play with Miss Mo, I just ......" There was a hint of embarrassment in the tone of the man who spoke in the forest, and he was separated for a while. There was a soft rustling sound, and a masked man reached out to separate a tightly grown cluster of vine leaves, and slowly walked out of it.

Most of this man's face was covered with a black cloth. However, Mo Ye could still judge his gender from his eyebrow bone, and the skin on his forehead, which had very few wrinkles. It was confirmed that he was a young man.

In this way, Mo Ye felt a little more relaxed. A young man who has come out of nowhere, if he had not come to her to commit murder, was probably just a messenger.

- If it's an elusive old slippery head, Mo Ye will have to re-evaluate it.

"Covering your face in broad daylight, do you still think you're not eye-catching enough?" Mo Ye said half tentatively, half mockingly, and at the same time, his eyes stared at the other party's ear. I silently kept the impression in my heart.

Ordinary people may not understand, but in the discipline of criminal trial, the shape of the ear can be regarded as a person's second face. Anyone with a wealth of experience in criminal trials has probably found this kind of discovery, and the ears on the sides of the brain are not as conspicuous as the front, but they have their own unique shape. There is hardly a pair of ears that are exactly the same.

Although there are many yamen and prisons in the world, and there are many officials and jailers who have made this special discovery of the ear, there are people who really carefully and carefully record this experience. But there are only two people who have a heart. However, it is enough to have two books, and it is enough to circulate.

For this particular writing. After birth, most of them were also valued and collected by special people. Because of the ordinary small cases of the yamen, how can more than a dozen boards be recruited, and it is indeed impossible to use such exquisite knowledge to interrogate in the torture hall. Only special people and special things can be so careful.

Even now, Mo Ye also knew that his master had a special identity, but he was not sure what special things he had done. What is certain is that whether it is the chief judge or the observer, the master must have done criminal trials and other things, because he has a collection of books in his room. There are several books on criminal trials, the records of which are recorded. It was an eye-opener for Mo Ye.

If nothing else, let's talk about the method of distinguishing people. If you read that book thoroughly, even if someone stands in front of you wearing a face towel in the future, let yourself look at it a few more times, then the next time you meet, even if the other party is disguised, you will probably be able to distinguish some impressions.

These ears are the second face of a person, and most of them can only be concealed, not changed.

It was precisely because he knew these doorways in his heart that Mo Ye was able to express himself so calmly and tentatively in front of this masked man. No matter what the identity of this person is, Mo Ye can at least remember his form at this time.

However, the next turn of events does not seem to be as complicated as Mo Ye imagined.

After being teased by Mo Ye, the masked young man's eyes moved slightly, and then he raised his hand and took off the black face towel covering his face.

"Even if she shows her face below, how can Miss Mo ever know her?" When he raised his hand and stuffed the black face towel he took off into his arms, the young man leaned towards his square face, revealing a faint smile, and lost no time in giving Mo Ye a word. Although this person's face was too square, like an old-fashioned person, the smile on his face at this time looked comfortable and sincere.

"But Miss Mo must have recognized this nameplate." Just as Mo Ye was thinking about how to say a word back, the young man reached out in his arms and found a metal brand that was as smooth as a mirror.

With just one glance, Mo Ye recognized the words "Jingzhao Shadow Guard".

The strokes of three of these four characters are very simple, while the more complex "shadow" character uses a substitute font. Specifically, the person who knows this special substitute font at least belongs to someone in an unusual yamen, and if he carries a waist tag inscribed with this strange and special substitute font, such a person must have come from that yamen.

The shadow guard noticed the change in Mo Ye's eyes, and he could roughly know that today's mission had finally begun.

Immediately afterwards, he moved his wrist with the hand holding the nameplate, and the sign turned around, revealing the three words on the reverse side of the brand in front of Mo Ye: "Shadow Nineteen." ”

Shadow Nineteen is not only the sequence of this young man in the shadow guard group, but also his external name.

Placing the metal nameplate marking his identity and origin back in his arms, Shadow Nineteen stretched out a palm to Mo Ye Pingping, and then turned to the low forest behind him. Because he has revealed his identity, he can be regarded as saying hello and giving the bottom, and when he speaks again, his tone is not as blunt as before. became a little gentler: "Miss Mo, now you can go down to the woods to discuss matters, right?" ”

Mo Ye didn't refuse the shadow guard's somewhat mysterious invitation again, and nodded slightly. Then he followed Shadow Nineteen into the woods.

Kyo Shadow Guard, jointly managed by Kyo Yoon and Kyoto Habayashi Army. The dossier was managed by Jing Zhaoyin, and the training matters were supervised by the commander-in-chief of Yu Linwei. But in the shadow guard, there is a unique subtlety, that is, the top 100 shadow guards, and the objects of their duties are either royal relatives or high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

Shadow 19, in its order, is within the hundreds.

The man suddenly found himself. What will it be for?

As soon as Mo Ye thought of this in her heart, she walked towards the depths of the woods with Ying Nineteen, and suddenly felt a trace of momentum different from that of the trees

When I came in the face, I looked closely, and saw that there were two groups on the left and right not far in front of me, and seven riders stopped. The seven men sat on horseback and waited quietly, their expressions solemn, all dressed in brown cloth and equipped with wide swords with leather sheaths at their waists.

These seven people saw Mo Ye, but their eyes moved slightly. Because that's to be expected. However, when their eyes fell on Shadow Nineteen's face, the seven couldn't help but be slightly surprised—maybe they had misunderstood the leader of the trip. That is, the black face towel on his face was not torn off by Mo Ye - no matter what the specific situation is, the experience of taking off the face towel during the mission like this time is indeed one of the few times in Ying Nineteen.

Suddenly seeing this posture, Mo Ye almost thought that he had fallen into someone else's trap.

Fortunately, she had seen the Jingzhao Shadow Guard Seal before, and at this moment, the corner of her eye swept to the front of the seven horses, and there was a horse. The horse was in the same spirit as the rest of the seven's mounts, except that the broadsword hung from the saddle. There was no one on horseback.

There is no doubt that the owner of the horse was by his side at this time.

Mo Ye calmed down again. Of course, there was a sudden surprise in her heart just now. It didn't show up on the face. The strange feelings in that moment of work were really short-lived.

Turning his head slightly, Mo Ye said to the shadow nineteen beside him: "Okay, when you get to the place, what is the matter with you, just say it directly!" ”

Ying Nineteen nodded when he heard this, but he didn't speak immediately, but reached into his arms again, took out a letter from the inside of his shirt, and offered it with both hands: "Please also ask Miss Mo to see it herself." ”

Mo Ye took the letter, and said secretly in his heart while opening the envelope: Since it is to ask someone to read the letter, you can hand it over directly before, why bother going around like this.

However, when she finished reading the contents of the letter, she immediately put away the relaxed state of mind she had before. Handing the letter back to Shadow Nineteen, Mo Ye glanced at the seven riders and an empty horse again, and finally returned his gaze to Shadow Nineteen's face, looked at him and asked seriously, "Are you going to leave immediately?" ”

Shadow Nineteen nodded when he heard this, and didn't explain more.

"Let's go!" Mo Ye originally had a trace of hesitation in her heart, but as soon as she thought of the urgency of the content of the letter, she immediately gritted her teeth and threw away a distracting thought.

Shadow 19 went to take his horse, untied the knife from the saddle, hung it at his waist, and then handed the reins to Mo Ye, and he rode with the other man, and the group of nine rode westward.

……

The Commander-in-Chief is in charge of the military power on the outskirts of Kyoto, so he is sometimes called the Commander-in-Chief by his subordinates. During the extraordinary period, even the officers and soldiers of Kyoto Prefecture, who belonged to the Inner City Inspection Army, had to be transferred to a subordinate nature, participating in the garrison to be deployed, and working together on the defense of the city. At that time, the power of the Kyoto Prefecture Yin to control the army will be hollowed out by the commander-in-chief, and he will be relegated to a purely civilian rank such as a staff officer.

Even at that time, half of the Imperial Forest Army in the Forbidden Palace, and the emperor's close guards, could be deployed by it.

Every capital city with a complete system at or above the county level in Nanzhao will have a garrison army, and all of them will be garrisoned and commanded, but it is unique that the autocracy and privilege can reach the height of the commander of the Kyoto garrison.

This is all because of the emperor's trust in the commander.

At the beginning of the "entrepreneurship", the love forged by time and life and death between the two of them is unparalleled. For this reward, even the royal family's descendant army killed all the way from the north to the south has no opinion, who can and dare to have an opinion?

The emperor almost didn't give the commander a marquis, but he didn't want the commander.

The Commander has not yet married, and he has no collateral relatives, and he is too lazy to take care of the rewarded land, and he has no other hobbies except for occasional drinking. His perseverance, will, and conviction are tougher than those of an ascetic, but his desire is simpler than that of an idiot: to keep Kyoto. Protect the Emperor's brother-in-law!

He is like a tiger skin on the back of the emperor's seat, like the jasper wrench on the circle of the emperor's thumb, and like the flying dragon dagger that the emperor pulls out. His loyalty to the emperor's brother-in-law. Simple and straightforward, never thought of leaving.

Perhaps the loyalty he had in his heart could no longer be summed up in two simple words. He really regarded the emperor as his brother-in-law, and the emperor did the same to him, inseparable, and he couldn't leave.

The hazelnut rule for keeping feelings fresh is to be consistent.

People's hearts will change, and people who do not change their hearts may be a little stupid in the eyes of others, but they can get this "stupid" friend in life. It is also rare, it can be seen that the emperor is also a person who can still know how to cherish it.

Li Gai may be a little crazy.

He is obsessed with exploring the mysteries of martial arts, so he controls his desires and gives up many hobbies that he is accustomed to as a human being.

He is obsessed with the friendship between him and his brother-in-law. In his childhood, he often survived in the fight of wild beasts, and when he gained the civilization and emotions that belonged to him, he would cherish it extraordinarily. Wang Chi is the first friend and brother he gained when he returned to the human living environment, and the depth of this feeling in his heart is like a man's virgin heart, which can be remembered for a lifetime.

He's stupid. But not stupid. Stupidity is the result of his control of his thoughts, and his stupidity is only the product of his infatuation.

Sitting in the position of commander. The tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in two places near and far in the garrison must be loose and flexible, and the defense of Kyoto must be made airtight, but it must not affect the daily frequent movement of pedestrians in and out of the city in the second largest commercial capital in the country.

Li Gai didn't want to make himself work so hard every day. There are often a lot of worries, and they can't be done as soon as they slash people with a knife. We must peel off the cocoon and take our time to minimize the damage to the community and people's livelihood.

All of them are for the sake of the dynasty's strong and prosperous plan. And in his opinion, the belief that supports him to continue working every day is actually just for the emperor's brother-in-law.

If you can only be the shadow guard of your brother-in-law like before, how simple should life be?

It's just that he must have another way to expose himself, and he can't continue to be invisible, so he can't be a shadow guard. And the only way to leave him is to take up an official position on the surface.

Even if he can escape his well-intentioned design a few years ago, it is estimated that he will not be able to escape the first few decades, he has so many strategists, but he only has one brain.

Every morning, a thick stack of official books is 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 batch, three hours of Wen Jiàn set aside time, which is already the limit of his "delay" with confidence.

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, where there was a platform made of cobblestones, which was not very large, but he would stand on the platform for a while every morning after checking and sorting 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 inside, 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.
