1240, distraction

- Even if the war has stopped and the world is peaceful, as a professional soldier who has been honed by 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 in batches, and the three-hour document shelving time is already the limit of his "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 as the supreme commander of the garrison, he has to keep his eyes open and be vigilant against the possible ambition wolves 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. The area is not large, but every morning, after the first batch of official documents have been cleared and sorted out, he will stand on the platform for a while.

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 four wilderness. is also admired by the heroes of the green forest.

The principle of subduing people with force. Most of the time it can be revealed simply and directly.

Nowadays, the way he practices every day no longer requires big movements or swinging swords. Practice the external strength internally, and slowly externalize the internal force. Pneumatic mixture. Thoughts melt in 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 to practice at this time were like a disabled patient with comminuted fractures all over his body. When the broken bones and tendons in the body had just healed, I 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 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 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 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 about her existence yet, just 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 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. Vague impressions. It's 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 wants to do something to his close subordinates. There will still be no mercy.

Wu Shu's position in Mo Ye's heart. He was close to his family, so she would be worried about him for whatever reason, and whoever hurt him. It's hard for her to be kind to that person.

Perhaps Mo Ye's reverse "short-guarding" heart. In Ligai's eyes, it was small and ridiculous. can't change his decision, but the bias of his feelings is so unreasonable. You don't have to do something to prove 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, 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 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! (To be continued......)
