After Liu Ying left, Ye Xun's diet was delivered by a special person, and the medicine was also fried by Tai Hospital. There is also a little eunuch who comes several times a day to do some cleaning, laundry, tea and other work. Ye Xun can walk around the courtyard with a cane. When I was tired, I sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, looked at the birds chirping in the trees, and was distracted...... Wendu told him that because he couldn't be seen by more people, he couldn't leave the small courtyard for a single step. In recent days, Ye Xun took out the sword, at first he was just holding and groping, but then after all, he started dancing. Depending on his injuries, he would practice his sword to avoid the weak points of his body.

On this day, Wen Dulai was running into Ye Xun dancing with a sword. "Hey, can you practice swords? Let's compare and compare. ”

Ye Xun nodded. Wendu found a sword, and the two of them exchanged views in the pavilion. Due to Ye Xun's instability, the two of them faced each other for more than a dozen rounds, and Ye Xun fell weightlessly on the seat of the pavilion. Wen Du stabbed the sword straight at Ye Xun's throat, and at only a slight distance from Ye Xun's Adam's apple, the sword suddenly stopped, and Ye Xun said with a cold face, "Take the sword away!" I am most annoyed by people pointing their swords at me. ”

Wen Du removed his sword and said with a provocative smile, "How? You're no match for me after all, are you? ”

Ye Xun picked the corners of his mouth, a little disdainful.

"Hey, what's your expression? Why are you still not convinced? ”

"Come again!" Ye Xun said.

Wen Du raised his eyebrows, "I'll let you lose convincingly!" ”

Ye Xun adjusted his position, shook his wrist and tried the sword, "Let's start." ”

Ye Xun knew that his physical condition could not fight, so he could only quickly end the battle in a few moves. Although Ye Xun was injured on his body, a sword still danced neatly and neatly, in one go. Wen Du had just parried casually before, and it took a few moves before he had to cheer up his spirits, because he couldn't resist a little. Suddenly, Wen Du was shaken by Ye Xun's sword light, and saw that Bing sword stabbed at Wen Du's throat at a lightning speed. Wen Du hurriedly retreated to dodge, but because of the small space in the pavilion, Wen Du had no way out. Ye Xun stopped his sword momentum and retracted the sword into its sheath.

Wen Du was unwilling, "This place is too small, let's compare it in the middle of the courtyard." ”

"No more fighting." Ye Xun shook his head.

"If you win, you won't fight, are you embarrassed?"

"Are you embarrassed? The yard is so big, how can I chase you? You're bullying me for being disabled! ”

Wen Du smiled, although he lost, but seeing him recover so well, he was sincerely happy for him.

In the evening, Wendu went to deliver a daily newspaper to the emperor. The emperor asked, "What is Ye Xun like now?" Is the wound on his face better? ”

"Back to the emperor, it's much better, although there are still a lot of scars on his face, but the whole person looks quite energetic."

The emperor heard that Wen Du seemed to be in a good mood, glanced at him and said, "Yes, you said last time that he recovered quickly, can he walk freely now?" ”

"Back to the emperor, I can't yet. Crutches are required. But this morning he was practicing his sword in the courtyard, and he was beaten twice by the lowly position, and the lowly position actually lost. Wen Du smiled.

"Oh? You let him? ”

Wen Du hurriedly shook his head, "It's not a lowly position. Although he had limited mobility, a sword danced fast. Depending on his condition, in a month or so he should be out of crutches. ”

The emperor nodded, "The recovery is faster than expected, you can arrange it in advance."

Ye Xun exercised in the yard every day to walk independently without crutches, and after practicing for a few days, he was finally able to walk on his own, but he didn't have any strength in his legs, so he had to rest when he walked.

On this day, Wendu came again. Seeing Ye Xun, who was walking slowly, he was pleasantly surprised, "Yo, can you walk?" ”

Ye Xun looked up at him, "I can't go far." ”

"Let's go inside, I have something to tell you."

Ye Xun saw his solemn expression, so he picked up his crutches and entered the house with him, "You pour your own tea and drink." ”

Wen Du poured himself a cup of tea and a cup for Ye Xun, then sat down and said solemnly, "Ye Xun, from today onwards, you have a new name called Bai Lang - Bai Jinhui." He is the third son of Baijiazhuang in the west of the city, he has some kung fu on his body, he usually is elusive, he likes to wear a metal mask, and many people have not seen his true face. In order for you to assume his identity, the emperor has now put him under house arrest in Dongchang......"

"House arrest? Isn't that right? Ye Xun questioned.

"The emperor has already explained that he will treat him well."

"But if you lock people up every day, you won't be free! What is the difference between going to jail? ”

Wen Du was a little impatient, thinking about what happened to you, and worrying about others, "This person was originally the emperor's love for talent, and he wanted to accept him, but he was too arrogant, and he didn't know what to do, and it was good to frustrate his spirit for a while." ”

Ye Xun didn't bother to say anything more, "That'...... Will I be able to walk freely in this capacity in the future? ”

Wen Du shook his head with a grim expression, "Not yet." The emperor means that you help him do things for two years, and after two years, the emperor will give you freedom and let you reunite with your family. ”

"What are you doing?" Ye Xun said vigilantly.

"Kill those corrupt officials and ministers who are not used by the emperor."

Ye Xun gasped and glared at him, "Or assassination?" ”

Wendu nodded.

Ye Xun suddenly changed color and said, "Shen Wendu! I don't know why you're pushing me! You know the last thing I want to do is do these sneaky things, and you're pushing me over and over again! ”

"Ye Xun, listen to me."

"I don't listen! No wonder you care so much about whether I can hold a sword and walk? Shen Wendu! Never have I ever hated someone as much as I hated you! Ye Xun said hatefully.

Shen Wendu looked at him, tears filled with tears, "Are you telling the truth?" ”

"Honestly!" Ye Xun nodded. "I also said that the thing I regret most in my life is knowing you! You used to be one of my closest people, you know me better than anyone else, you know my ambitions? What am I willing to do? What are you reluctant to do? ”

Wen Du felt extremely heartbroken, "But the emperor also knows!" Why do you have to think that I told the emperor something? Why don't you ask yourself what you've done? I have to balance the relationship between you and the emperor every day, and I want to save your life, do you know how hard it is? ”

Ye Xun shouted with red eyes, "I don't need you to protect me!" It's because you have to protect me outside the gate of the Marquis of Qingyuan, that I am worse than dead every day now! ”

Wen Du turned his head and wiped the tears that flowed, and turned his face to look at him again, "If you didn't fall into my hands today, you wouldn't want to pay attention to me at all?" ”

"Yes!" Ye Xun said with a provocative look. "I don't even want to talk to you!"

"You! It's really a white-eyed wolf that can't be raised. ”

"Who the hell is a wolf?"

"Alright." Wen Du didn't want to quarrel with him like this, "You are alive now, you don't need me." Anyway, I'm here to convey the emperor's meaning, and you are not qualified to disagree now. You want to be reunited with your family so much, you should do it. I'm leaving. ”

Watching Wen Du leave, Ye Xun's heart began to feel uncomfortable, "Wen Du! Wendu, you wait for me, I can't go fast. Ye Xun chased out. Wen Du stood in the middle of the courtyard, with a black face, Ye Xun walked up to him, "I apologize to you." I'm just going crazy here, I'm bored in my heart, I'm angry with you, and everything I say is angry, not sincere. ”

Ye Xun bumped him with his shoulder, "Don't be angry with me!" When I yelled it just now, my heart was much happier. You said that I don't yell at you in this huge palace, who else can I yell at? ”

Wen Du's mood eased a lot, and he muttered, "Why do I think that many of your words are from your heart?" ”

"Where? Don't take it seriously. It's all angry talk. I just feel ......" Ye Xun sighed, trying to hold back the tears that were about to fall.

Wen Du said movingly, "Ye Xun, you shouldn't be too serious. It doesn't matter what kind of assassination he is, he killed him. You should be well aware that sometimes, death is a relief. They are unscrupulous officials, and when they are caught, they not only have to waste manpower and material resources to find evidence, interrogate and convict, but they themselves will also be tortured. Therefore, it saves time and effort to kill with a knife, and they themselves suffer less, is it the best destination? ”

"Are they all unscrupulous officials?"

"Who do you call him? If the emperor wants him to die, he must die. Or you will kill you; Either he was arrested and put in prison by Dongchang and Jinyiwei, or he had to pass the trial of the three law divisions. No matter how you kill you, you are the happiest. ”

Ye Xun nodded painfully, and said a little lonely, "The emperor asked me to do this, are you still angry with me?" I haven't seen him since I woke up. ”

"Actually, the emperor cares about you. Keep asking me about you. The emperor shouldn't be angry with you, he is the Son of Heaven and has his own plans, how can he be measured by ordinary people's thinking? In a few days you will be able to walk Liso, and I will take you to meet him. ”

Since Ye Xun woke up, the emperor only secretly looked outside the door a few times. Now that Ye Xun is standing by his side again, the emperor is still quite surprised. But the alienation and strangeness inadvertently revealed in Ye Xun's eyes made him very heartbroken. Seeing Ye Xun bowing very hard, the emperor couldn't help but stop him, "In the future, there will be no need to kneel and bow if there are no outsiders." ”

"Your Majesty."

"Shen Wendu told you. I still have to deal with a lot of legacy issues during this time, you take advantage of this time to do something for me, and when I finish dealing with it, I will reunite you with your family. ”

Ye Xun lowered his eyelids and nodded.

The emperor looked at Ye Xun's frosty face and the scars on his face, and suddenly didn't want to talk to him anymore, "You go back first, go back and recuperate." Something, I'll let Wendu inform you. ”

Ye Xun nodded, "Retire!" ”

The first time he carried out the task, Wendu was not at ease and followed. Ye Xun hesitated at the last moment of killing that person. Looking at the man's begging eyes, Ye Xun was a little unbearable, the knife in his hand was trembling, but he couldn't cut it down...... Wendu, who was hidden in the shadows, appeared, and killed the man with a knife without saying anything. Then he looked at him angrily, "What are you hesitating about?" If he's a master, he'll kill you several times if you're stunned! ”

Ye Xun put away the knife and didn't speak.

Wen Du forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, "Did you hear what I said?" Today is your first mission, and I am the only one who comes, and there will be secret agents from Dongchang and Jinyiwei to supervise your execution in the future. If you do this again, how will you explain to the emperor when you go back? ”

"Since the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei are here, they will kill themselves, why do you have to let me do it?"

"They are the emperor's people, you are the folk chivalrous Bai Lang, can it be the same? What is your attitude now? I find that you don't have a long memory of how much you have suffered! I won't tell you this time, if there is a next time, I can't control it, you bear it yourself! Wen Du said angrily.

Ye Xun saw that Wen Du was really angry, and knew that he was also doing it for his own good, so his tone softened, "I know." Not in the future. Let's go, where is your horse? ”

Next, Ye Xun carried out several missions very smoothly, because he was alone every time, wearing a mask and a white coat, and most of the officials he killed were problematic, and he was given the name 'Lone White Wolf' on the rivers and lakes.

On this day, Ye Xun went on a mission again, and when he was about to raise his knife to kill the official, he suddenly knelt down and cried and begged, "Bai Daxia spare his life!" I have an eighty-year-old mother to support, and I don't regret my death, but pity my mother for being helpless......"

Ye Xun was hesitating, an old lady walked out hobbled out with a cane, and she cried out in a hoarse voice, "Don't kill my son? Strong, please spare his life. ”

The official hurriedly stepped forward to help her, "Mother, what are you doing here?" Let's go back. ”

When Ye Xun saw this scene, he felt compassion, thinking that such a filial person must not be able to go anywhere, so he turned around and left.

When Wen Du came to see the emperor, the emperor was angry, and Wen Du bowed his head, "Your Majesty." ”

The emperor glanced at him, "You brought Ye Xun here tonight, and I want to take care of him." It's too much! ”

"Your Majesty, he also remembered that the man was filial, and it was inconvenient to do it in front of his eighty-year-old mother."

"You're excusing him? You know what Dongchang came to report just now, it is because of his behavior that many officials now have an old lady in their homes to wait for the sudden visit of the 'lonely white wolf'. Some people don't have an old lady at home, so they go to rent it outside or go to the labor market to buy it, and the price of an old lady can be higher than that of a strong man! ”

"Huh? They think that with the old lady, there will be a gold medal for avoiding death? ”

The emperor sighed, "And now his attitude towards me, he doesn't have a good face at all. No matter how I say it, I'm the king of a country, right? With a cold face every day, it seems that the whole world owes him. ”

"Your Majesty, since Ye Xun woke up, I haven't seen him laugh since I was lowly. It's understandable to think about it, he can't go back to his home now, and he has to use someone else's identity, and he is in pain, just like a ghost living in the shadows. What a handsome man he used to be, but now his face is covered with shocking scars......"

After listening to Wen Du's words, the emperor softened again, "I just scare him at night, and I can't really do anything to him." ”

In the evening, Ye Xun came to meet the emperor, and the emperor pretended to be angry, "Ye Tianyu, are you guilty?" ”

"Guilty of his sins, willing to die to apologize." Ye Xun said coldly.

"Dead? How can it be that easy? So that you can survive, I have invested a lot of money! Perhaps the easiest thing in this world is to die! Do you know that it is because of the kindness of your woman that every official who has done something wrong now has an old lady at home, and you say that you will not kill it? This time I must punish you and make you remember it for a long time! But the way you are now, you can't beat or scold. How shall I punish you? The emperor thought for a moment and smiled strangely, "Anyway, you have a family and children, or you will cut off the root of your troubles, not only will it be convenient to enter and exit the palace, but you can also do things for me without worries and distractions?" ”

Ye Xun knelt down on one leg, although he didn't say anything, his body and movements were already expressing resistance.

The emperor mocked, "Why don't you speak?" What do you think? Otherwise, you will be my male pet, and you don't have to go out to kill people, as long as you are obedient, I will let you pet the sixth house. ”

Ye Xun's face was gloomy, his muscles were bulging, and he said for a long time, "Your Majesty, you won't." ”

Ye Xun's cold attitude made the emperor's face a little unbearable. To the emperor's ears, Ye Xun's tone seemed to be provoking him not to dare! The emperor stared at him angrily......

Wen Du saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly opened the deadlock, "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that it is useless for a person like Ye Xun to punish him, and if he wants to punish, he must punish the people he cares about, which will make him a hundred times more painful than punishing him!" Speaking of this, Wen Du suddenly realized that he had lost his words, so that the emperor thought of his family. And family is Ye Xun's weakness, and it is also the bottom line. He hurriedly led the conversation to himself. "It is said that Ye Xun is very righteous to his brothers, and he can stick a knife in both ribs......"

The emperor saw Wen Du's intentions, and he was worried that he had nowhere to spill his anger, he stared at Ye Xun with complicated eyes, and said deliberately, "Yes, you and Wen Du have been in trouble, or you will punish Wen Du." Someone's slap! There was a fierce light in the emperor's eyes.

A tall eunuch came up with a small board, raised his arm and started work left and right on Wen Du's face. After a few strokes, his face was already red and swollen, and his mouth was bleeding. Ye Xun didn't blink, and even had a little schadenfreude on his face.

The emperor observed him, "Stop! Wendu, you see this is the brother you desperately save! It doesn't seem to work. ”

"Your Majesty, I have an idea!" Wen Du rubbed his red and swollen face and said with a cruel smile, "Because I know what he's more afraid of." If he dares to disobey your orders again, tie him to the bed so that he cannot move, and he will have to be helped with eating, drinking, and Lazar. ”

Ye Xun's face turned white, it was his darkest memory. "Shen Wendu! You! ”

"That's good." The emperor nodded and smiled, "This time I will be punished for three days and I can't move in bed." ”

"Your Majesty!" Wendu 'plopped' and knelt down.

The emperor thought that Wendu was going to mention Ye Xun to intercede, and said that he would be punished next time, so he said to Ye Xun, "Look at how Wendu treats you!" ”

Wen Du smiled a little sinisterly, "Your Majesty, the minister feels that three days cannot achieve the punitive effect, because he would rather not eat or drink in these three days, and pass as soon as he stands up." At least five or seven days. ”

"Good! Just five days! The emperor smiled.

Wendu tied Ye Xun's hands and feet, and Ye Xun flattered him and said, "They are all good brothers, why are you in a hurry?" I did it on purpose, how inappropriate do you think it would be for the emperor to beat you up if I made a mistake? Does your face still hurt? ”

Wen Du looked at him while tying the rope and sneered, ignoring him.

"You're too ruthless, aren't you?! Did you hear me speak? Tie me up and let me go to the toilet by myself at night. ”

Wen Du deliberately tied him hard.

"Wendu, please. I won't be noticed when I go to the toilet at night. ”

Seeing that Wendu was still unmoved, Ye Xun changed his method, he bit his lip and said sadly, "Did you hear what the emperor told me today?" He said he wanted me to be his male pet! Ye Xun smiled wickedly, but tears rolled in his eyes, "I'm already seen as such a person?" I broke the jar myself and didn't care about anything! As long as you can let me go to the toilet freely, I will make a promise. Anyway, now that I'm tied hand and foot by you, it's up to you what you want. ”

Wen Du was stunned for a moment, leaned closer to Ye Xun, and stared at his face for a while.

Ye Xun could feel the anger he spit on his face, he suddenly felt a little flustered, and then frowned and said in a rough voice, "What are you going to do?" Get away from me! ”

Wen Du smiled evilly, "Didn't you say that you want to make a personal promise?" Come on. Wendu slid a finger from his face to his chest, then gently picked up his collar.

Ye Xun's face turned red, and he scolded angrily: "Shen Wendu, you dare to touch me!" Get out of the way, let me go, I'll kill you! ”

Wen Du raised his face, "I don't know what situation I'm in?" How dare you treat me like this? ”

Ye Xun had no choice but to curry favor and say, "Wendu, I was wrong. I just teased you. I know I'm meat on the chopping board now. But I know that Wendu is the best, we are good brothers. ”

Wen Du got up, "Cut, you can't move for a while, I have bathed you, where have I not touched your body?" With your ruined body now, who do you think is rare! If I had thought about it before, I would have considered it. ”

Ye Xun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled helplessly, "You still dislike me?" ”

Wen Du got off the bed, put on his shoes and was about to leave, he turned his back to him and suddenly said, "The reason why the emperor said such things is because you are angry, you can't take it seriously." Can you not always disobey the emperor's will in the future, remember that he is the Son of Heaven! It's not the same with us! ”

Ye Xun smiled indifferently, "You're leaving like this?" Tie me up like this, not afraid that those hungry and thirsty palace maids will insult me? ”

"This time it's for two eunuchs to serve you."

"Eunuch? They're even more colorful! More perverted! ”

"Don't worry, they don't dare to touch my people."

Wen Du smiled and was just about to leave, Ye Xun suddenly said, "Wen Du, don't do anything for me in the future!" If you do, I won't take your affection. Let me bear the thunder, rain and dew alone, you just take care of yourself. ”
