An Ruiqi, who was in a good mood, left the palace leisurely and was about to walk to the prefect's mansion, but was stopped outside the palace gate by An Ruixiang, who was with a team of elite soldiers.

"Second brother, how can you leave the General's Mansion without permission! Do you know that when your father learned about it, he was furious and angry with the whole house, so you should hurry back with me. An Ruixiang said dissatisfiedly.

An Ruiqi knew that something was wrong, and he had no other way to do it, so he could only be caught.

After returning to the house, I saw An Dingguo sitting in the middle of the lobby with angry eyes, and the rest of the people in the house were all kneeling neatly on both sides with their heads bowed, silent.

"Dad, I brought my second brother back." An Ruixiang saw that the atmosphere around him was solemn, so he persuaded him: "Since the second brother has returned safely, my father will spare them......

"Today, for the sake of you and I going to court together, and you have no time to take care of your second brother, I forgave you, and now you dare to cause more trouble and plead for them!" An Dingguo roared angrily, making the servants and maids tremble in fright.

"Dad, today Ruiqi went out of the mansion to meet the saint, and I would like to ask who dares to stop me. If my father wants to ask for guilt for this, he can punish me alone. An Ruiqi said calmly.

"Did you go to the saint alone? Did you know that if you are not careful, you will ...... You...... Have you done anything inappropriate to offend Long Yan? An Dingguo changed his past majesty and asked cautiously.

"Dad, please rest assured, Ruiqi knows the measure and will never do anything that affects Anfu." Looking at An Dingguo's worried appearance, An Ruiqi felt lost in his heart. Why is my father always so reassuring of me, I need to know that I am no longer an ignorant child......

"You will not be allowed to act so recklessly in the future! Go down, and give ten rods to each of you, and talk about small punishments and great commandments. An Dingguo was furious and ordered sharply.

"Dad, the second brother's injury has not healed, so I should take it for him." An Ruixiang hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Big brother, one person does things and one person is responsible, Ruiqi is willing to be punished." An Ruiqi stopped in a voice.

"Ten more rods will be added to the punishment for others according to the house rules, for a total of twenty, so go quickly." An Dingguo nodded and agreed to An Ruixiang's request. "Ruiqi, if you don't want others to suffer because of you again, then you should do it well in the future, and don't cause any more trouble." After speaking, An Dingguo sighed and threw his sleeves away.

An Ruiqi walked back to the room with heavy steps, but he felt sad, and after a wry smile, he fell on the bed and fell into deep thought. I've long been accustomed to my father's other eyes, so what's worth worrying about today's events...... It's ridiculous to think that I'm a dignified seven-foot man, but I am regarded as such a useless person. Yue'er, if you were still here at this time, you would definitely understand my mind and stay by my side quietly...... The mood of missing Ning Yue and the bitterness in his heart were mixed together, which made An Ruiqi's head ach faintly, so he simply lay on the bed and waited for Mo Niancong's arrival. Unexpectedly, instead of waiting for Mo Niancong, he waited for a rare guest.

"Young master, the Prime Minister said outside the door that he wanted to see you." A domestic servant ran into the room in a panic and reported back to An Ruiqi.

"Please!" An Ruiqi hurriedly got up, and after tidying up his clothes, he walked quickly to the door to greet the prime minister he had never met.

I saw a kind old man striding into the room with his head held high, quite dignified. As soon as he saw An Ruiqi, his wise eyes bent into two thin slits, and he smiled. An Ruiqi sighed secretly in his heart, although this prime minister is high and powerful, he is very approachable, which is really rare. He hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully saluted the prime minister, and the prime minister accepted it happily.

After the two sat down, the prime minister only looked at An Ruiqi while drinking tea, smiling and silent, which made An Ruiqi very restrained.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister is here today, I don't know what to order?"

"Hehe, the old man has always had a close personal relationship with General An, but he has always been with Rui Qi's nephew, and he came here today just to see the virtuous nephew, and there is nothing important, please ...... the virtuous nephew with peace of mind" The prime minister smiled kindly, looked at An Ruiqi with satisfaction and continued: "Now when I see the virtuous nephew, I really live up to my reputation, and the old man is very happy in his heart. ”

An Ruiqi smiled modestly and replied: "The adult is too famous, Ruiqi is ashamed to be a ......."

The prime minister laughed hehehe, and then continued to drink tea leisurely without saying a word.

An Ruiqi was quite puzzled by the prime minister's actions, but it was inconvenient to disturb him to taste tea, so he had to hold back the doubts in his heart and quietly accompany him to drink.

The servants were also unaware of this, but seeing that the prime minister still had no intention of leaving when it was time for lunch, they prepared a sumptuous meal for the two. During the banquet, the two were still looking at each other and were silent. Due to the difficulty of moving after receiving a penalty of 20 canes for An Ruiqi, An Ruixiang could not come as usual that evening, so dinner was still only eaten by the prime minister and An Ruiqi.

The two were silent and sat idly until late at night, when the prime minister spoke to break the deadlock: "The virtuous nephew is so patient!" Not only has a majestic strategy but also knows how to forbear, so you will be able to achieve great things. In this way, the old man can rest assured that he will entrust it to you. After speaking, the prime minister took out an ebony token from his arms and handed it to An Ruiqi.

"Your Excellency praised it. Please forgive Ruiqi for being stupid, but I don't know what this thing is? Why was it handed over to Ruiqi? After An Ruiqi took the token, he found that the token was lubricated to the touch, and it was slightly hot, absolutely extraordinary, and his heart was even more strange.

"This token can command a group of martial arts masters to run for you before and after, it is very precious, and the virtuous nephew should take good care of it." The prime minister looked at An Ruiqi and smiled gently.

"Since it is a rare treasure, Ruiqi categorically can't receive it, and please take it back quickly." So, An Ruiqi handed the token back with both hands.

"Hehe, this thing naturally can't be easily given to a virtuous nephew." The prime minister still smiled and looked at An Ruiqi and said. "If the virtuous nephew is willing to help the old man, then this token will be given to the virtuous nephew as a reward."

"If it is useful to Ruiqi, even if the lord commands, Ruiqi does not dare to try to reciprocate." An Ruiqi refused to take the token back.

"The virtuous nephew is now in the position of a young general, and his subordinates naturally can't be ineffective, you accept the token, as for the old man's begging, when the time is ripe, the old man will tell the virtuous nephew in detail." The prime minister gently patted An Ruiqi's shoulder, glanced at him meaningfully, and then got up to say goodbye and leave.

"Then Ruiqi is disrespectful!" An Ruiqi knew that the prime minister had made up his mind, so he had to put the token in his arms, and then got up to send him away.

When the night was quiet, An Ruiqi was waving a pen on the bookcase, and suddenly, a black shadow fell silently in front of him, kneeling on one knee with a humble gesture.

"Who's coming?" An Ruiqi put down the pen in his hand calmly and asked in a low voice.

"If you go back to your master, I am the leader of the Shadow Guard, and I have come to meet the new master because I learned that the token has changed hands." The man whispered back.

"Now that you're here, tell me about the use of this token." An Ruiqi took out the sandalwood token from his arms and looked at it carefully.

"Obey the order!"

After An Ruiqi listened to the man's words, he realized how valuable the things the prime minister gave him......
