Chapter 168: Discord (Part II)
The days went by day by day.
Xiao Cao'er and Situ Feng left the courtyard before and after. 'Flower' ruthless body has been completely healed, practicing swords in the yard every day, making a good sip of tea in idle life, sitting with Xue'er under the plum 'flower' tree in the garden to taste, and the days are leisurely.
Of course, they have to learn to ignore the wide-eyed 'squires' around them.
This is when Situ Feng left, he strongly asked Mo Zhanpeng to arrange it, and Mo Zhanpeng also did his best, Situ Feng just said a word, and he arranged this courtyard to be full, there are many secret guards in the dark, and there are many soldiers standing in the bright eyes.
They straddle knives around their waists and are extremely professional.
After so many days, Xue'er has learned to get used to it, and she chooses to ignore the people in front of her, she has been looking at the 'flower' ruthlessly, her handsome face is getting richer and richer, and there is a lot of blood 'color', and her thin body looks better, although it can't be compared with Situ Feng, it can be regarded as healthy.
Looking at the ruthlessness of the 'flower' that is getting better day by day, Xue'er can't help but smile on her eyebrows.
"Come, rest." Xue'er stepped forward, took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat on the ruthless forehead of 'Hua', looked at him and was a little anxious to breathe, and couldn't help complaining: "It's just a little bit, just practice so hard, do you still want to rub me a few meals of health soup?" ”
'Flower' smiled ruthlessly and gently, looking at Xue'er counting herself with anger and anger, and turned around and thought of the Fa to replenish his body and make him food.
He felt as if he had returned to the simple and happy old days.
He didn't know why Xue'er changed his attitude towards him, and he didn't want to think about it, as long as he was like this, he didn't ignore himself and took himself to heart, which ...... That's enough.
He doted on Xue'er's messy hair, and said with a smile: "Look at you, your hair is not combed well." ”
"Isn't there a ruthless brother?" Xue'er smiled mischievously, snatched the sword in the ruthless hand of 'Hua', helped him return the sheath, and pulled 'Hua' ruthlessly to sit down and stuffed a comb into his hand.
'Flower' ruthlessly lowered his head, looking at the warmth of his palm, it was a good material 'jade' comb, crescent-shaped, longer in the middle of the teeth, slightly shorter on both sides, forming a 'mixed' arc between the teeth.
It's familiar, it's in that long memory, the one he used to help her comb her hair.
He still remembered that he once said: he will help Cher comb her hair for the rest of his life.
Raising her head, she was facing Xue'er's bright eyes, glowing with purple 'color', with innocence and naughtiness in her eyes, and her 'lips' moved slightly: "Lingbaojun, don't forget your promise." ”
'Hua' ruthlessly shook his body, he looked at Xue'er, feeling the warmth in his palm, she can really let go of what happened in the thousand-year reincarnation, and only think about the good memories in the heavenly palace?
Looking at Cher, he suddenly didn't know what to say or what to do.
He was a little overwhelmed.
A pair of warm hands held his hand, and the 'flower' was ruthlessly stunned.
Xue'er smiled slightly, faced him, held his slightly cold hand, and said, "Those memories are very beautiful. ”
She knows the doubts in the heart of 'Hua' ruthlessly, and she also knows that in this thousand years of reincarnation, so many things have happened between them, and he is always unable to face the 'Hua' ruthlessness who has recovered his memory, and even feels ashamed and blamed himself for those individual things in the past.
He is such a person, he thinks about others in everything, as long as he does something wrong, he will be infinitely magnified in his heart, and he will have strong self-blame and uneasiness.
Just like now, I am obsessed with those things, trapped myself in the pain of the past, cocooned myself, more and more melancholy, and more and more depressed, all because I pay too much attention to Situ Feng and ignore the ruthlessness of 'flowers'.
This made him constantly wrap himself up and become that pale and thin appearance.
She smiled and grabbed his wrist and pointed to the 'jade' comb in the palm of her hand: "Na, this is what I gave you, can't you go and comb someone else's hair, hurry up, come, let me take a look......" Her voice was lowered, and she leaned in front of the 'flower' ruthlessly, and said in a voice that the people around her couldn't hear: "Could it be that Lingbaojun's technique has regressed, and he doesn't dare to take it out." ”
'Flower' looked at her ruthlessly like in the heavenly palace, with only innocence and naughtiness in her eyes, and the feeling of uncomfortable self-blame in the face of her in her heart was also less.
Gripping the 'jade' comb in his hand, he smiled softly and made her turn around and sit with her back to him.
He gently plucked the pearl hairpin from Cher's head, and the long hair like brocade fell down to his waist.
Xue'er turned around and smiled at him: "It's beautiful to comb." ”
'Flower' nodded ruthlessly and asked her to sit down, and the 'jade' comb in her hand slowly passed through her hair, from top to bottom, one at a time.
The ambiguous gesture between the two was all seen by the surrounding 'squire' guards.
At the entrance of the 'gate' of the crescent-shaped courtyard, a 'squire' guard in full armor took a few glances into the courtyard, and a pair of eyes on the hideous mask 'shot' an angry light.
He didn't stay long, and disappeared outside the courtyard door for a moment.
Race all the way.
Outside the strict handsome tent, there is a blood guard commander of the proper class.
He bowed his head slightly, and placed his right hand on his heart, looking extremely respectful.
The Blood Guard Commander bowed slightly to him and pointed to the tent: "The sect leader is inside." ”
He nodded, lifted the curtains, and strode in.
This was the first time he had entered this tent when the sect master was alone, and the only time he had entered during the day, and the rest of the time it was night.
At this time, the tent was quiet, the ground was a carpet of brocade 'flowers', which looked low-key and luxurious, with rows of purple shirts and wooden chairs on both sides, a small table next to it, on which a teapot was placed, and on the chair closest to the desk, there was a cup of undrunk tea.
I think someone has just left here, and the next person hasn't come to clean up in a hurry.
He stood there silently, walking in the dark for many years on a mission, and he had developed the habit of constantly observing the environment.
Even in the face of the sect leader, this person who cultivated him and could decide his life and death was the same.
Aside from the Sect Master, he is the best killer among the Blood Guards.
The leader was not summoned, and he stood there speechless. The sect leader was lying on the table, and a march map was spread on the white 'jade' table.
He only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and lowered his head.
Sometimes just one glance can lead to fatal results.
Time passes.
He didn't make a sound. Suddenly, the sect leader raised his head and nodded to him: "Xiao, come here." ”
Xiao's heart shook slightly, but his face remained the same, he only answered yes, his eyes fell on his sleeve, and he didn't dare to look at the desk.
"Tell me about the situation outside?" The sect leader's voice was low, and he couldn't see his emotions, but he just looked at his own eyes, with a bit of solemnity.
Xiao hurriedly arched his hand and said: "My subordinates have gone to twenty-four places across the country to investigate this time, among which there are more than sixty-two officials above the governor and governor, and twenty of them have expressed their willingness to accept the dispatch of the sect master. In addition, the thirty people had an ambiguous attitude towards their subordinates and did not say anything. ”
As he spoke, he paused for a moment and continued: "The other dozen or so people have a tough attitude, and they are already using the pressure of the government to 'force' the local clan to send money and troops, and the subordinates and the captain of the three teams have assassinated three of them, and the other few people, the subordinates have already sent people to investigate the background......"
……
In addition, the Northern Liao was in a domestic famine, and the Southern Liao, which had no quarrel with the world, suddenly sent troops to the border city of Northern Liao, and the two armies had been facing each other for three days.
……
On the western and eastern fronts of the country, there are two major bandits dominating the local area, and the government has done nothing.
……
Shangguan's ......
When Xiao left, the sect leader 'handed over' the tasks assigned to him one by one.
The sect leader didn't make a sound, his expression was calm, but it gave people an invisible sense of oppression.
Fine sweat began to ooze from his forehead.
"Why did you go to Kozuki-in?" The sect leader's voice was unusually cold.
Xiao's heart jumped, and the sect leader really didn't worry about him, so he sent someone to follow him.
As a result, he was not surprised, nor was he angry, he just thought about the words that had been pressed in his heart for a year, he really didn't vomit or be unhappy, this was the biggest taboo as a blood guard, but he committed it because of a 'woman'. What a irony for him, who has always regarded 'women' as clothes.
It is very likely that this time will make his soul fly away.
But I don't care, as long as I see the sect leader ascending to the great treasure and restoring the former glory of the Luoyun Imperial Family, I have no regrets even if I die.
He raised his head, not hiding his anger: "Sect Master, why are you still obsessed with that 'female' person, and even dispatched the most 'elite' second department in the Blood Guard to protect it. You are already engaged to the eldest lady of the Shangguan family, and if you do this, I am afraid that it will not be appropriate, this time you have taken a trip to Kyoto with your subordinates, and some people in the Shangguan family have very complaints, and there are many things that have been negotiated with the sect leader, and there are many things that are done slowly. ”
……
The Sect Master picked up the official book in the upper left corner of the desk, and seemed to be unconcerned about his words.
"Master." He stepped forward and pressed his hands on the desk.
Seeing that the sect leader raised his cold eyes, cold sweat instantly flowed down his forehead. It seems that I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of here alive today.
However, he will still say what he should say. If he doesn't say anything, then no one can wake up the master.
He said with red eyes: "Sect Master, you are the dragon among the destined people, and you must not be damaged because of a 'female' person. Besides......" He remembered the scene he had just seen, and felt a fire burning in his heart.
"If you have something to say, say it." The sect leader's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he looked at his hand pressed on the table: "I've done a lot of it, why don't you do it all at once." ”
Saying this, Xiao let go instead, and he bit his 'lip': "Besides, that 'female' person is simply a 'Yang' flower." ”
Xiao only felt a huge force attacking, and the sect leader's fist had already reached his body, and he didn't dare to dodge, and he couldn't dodge.
"Bang."
There was a huge force on his shoulder, and his whole body flew out upside down, forcibly using his true qi to stabilize his body.
The corners of his mouth were fishy, and the feeling of a 'wave' and a 'wave' came from his shoulder. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and when he looked down, the armor of the shoulder pads was recessed, and it happened to be a fist.
"Get out." The sect leader had already stood up, and his eyebrows were full of color.
"Nope."
Xiao disobeyed loudly, stepped forward, and knelt on one knee: "Sect Master, brothers have followed you for the past few years, and they have never disobeyed. Back then, you wanted to establish the wife of the sect leader, and your subordinates didn't dare to say much. But today, the sect leader must not be confused.
