Chapter 35: Retaliation

At dusk.

The warm yellow sunlight shines on the temple grounds.

It added a warmth to this huge yamen that was quite gloomy in the past.

On the quiet path leading from Soshoji Temple to Yuning-in Temple.

I don't know when two figures appeared leading the horses.

In the twilight of the setting sun, the two men and two horses walked slowly on the quiet path.

The warm yellow sunlight shone on the two of them, as if they had put on a soft cloak.

One of them looked exceptionally handsome, but there was a hint of femininity in that handsomeness.

The light of the setting sun seemed to be extremely spiritual, shining on the slightly pale feminine cheeks.

Plain added a warm color or two to the man.

From a distance, it really looks like a rare landscape painting in the world.

Of course.

It would be even more perfect if the two of them could walk like normal people.

"Sixth Master, that Wen Cunyi is too much of a thing."

"I was so bad for treating him like that a few days ago."

Zhao Shou walked slowly with his legs in a big figure-eight posture.

It's not that he doesn't want to walk well, it's that he walks well and grinds the roots of his thighs.

"I can't blame him for this, the second uncle has always been watching."

"Even if Wen Cunyi wants to release the water, he doesn't have the guts."

Although Xu Yi's posture is not as unbearable as Zhao Shou's, it is completely different from usual.

I don't know if Xu Yi at this time regretted teasing Xu Zhen.

"Sixth Master, why did His Royal Highness King Jin suddenly become so stern after dinner."

Zhao Shou looked at Xu Yi puzzled, obviously he was so amiable in the morning, how could he become so stern in the afternoon.

"Second Uncle's move is also for your and me's good."

"Look, aren't you and me proficient in horsemanship now?"

Xu Yi chuckled and explained.

He won't make it clear that there is a deep-seated reason for such a change.

That reason comes from his ridicule.

Xu Zhen doesn't care about the opinions of outsiders, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about the opinions of his nephews.

lost someone in front of his nephew, so he naturally wanted to retaliate back.

Although this retaliation is for Xu Yihao, it does not mean that it is not retaliation.

"Oh, too."

Zhao Shou nodded as if he didn't understand.

A moment later.

In the quiet courtyard, the master and servant lay motionless on the chaise longue under the eaves after tying up their horses.

Practicing equestrianism for the first time, no matter how good the understanding of the two is, no matter how strong their bodies are.

It's inevitable that there will be some unbearable.

The burning pain at the root of the thigh always warned the master and servant.

Horseback riding is not as majestic as they imagined.

A moment later.

"Second master, wait a moment."

After the words fell, Zhao Shou slowly got up and walked to the kitchen.

"It's still early, so I'm not busy boiling water."

Xu Yi on the recliner turned over slightly and said calmly.

The two had already had dinner before they came back, and now Zhao Shou went to the kitchen to do nothing but boil water.

"It's not early, after a while, the sixth master will go to sleep directly after washing."

"Aren't we going out of the city tomorrow?"

Zhao Shou smiled and waved his hand, and then walked to the kitchen.

Staring at Zhao Shou's busy figure in the kitchen.

Xu Yi sighed slightly, and then got up from the recliner with a bone.

He turned around and walked into the bedroom.

Light an oil lamp and look at the files again.

Read the book a hundred times, and you will see its meaning.

Xu Yi doesn't know why he obviously has the ability to never forget, but he is still willing to hold the scroll and read it carefully.

After the two of them have washed up.

It was already dark.

Xu Yi on the bed opened his eyes suddenly.

Walked outside the courtyard and followed the way Xu Zhen gave him.

Gently whistle with an extremely rhythmic sense.

After a while, a man dressed in black quietly appeared in Youning Courtyard.

During the whole process, there was only a very faint sound.

If you don't listen, you won't find out.

"Ask your heart to meet the little master."

The man in black saluted respectfully after landing on the ground.

For some reason, the title of conscience to Xu Yi has become the little master.

"All of you call the conscience?"

Xu Yi frowned slightly and asked softly.

"Yes."

The conscience replied crisply.

"If I'm in danger, how long will it take for you to arrive?"

Xu Yi softly asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Within sixty to three hundred breaths."

The expression of the conscience did not change in the slightest, as if it were just a normal question.

Xu Yi looked sideways slightly.

One breath is about one second in the Hereafter, between 60 and 300 breaths.

This means that once they encounter danger, these conscience guards can rush to the scene in as little as one minute and five minutes as late as five minutes.

And during this period, Xu Yi has soft armor, dragon teeth, and slashing abyss.

Thinking about getting through the long five minutes, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Xu Zhen really took great pains to deal with Xu Yi's own safety.

"Stand down."

Xu Yi waved his hand slightly.

"Yes."

He saluted again, and then quickly disappeared into the Youning Courtyard with three steps and two steps.

During the whole process, Zhao Shou, who was sleeping lightly in the west wing, did not notice the slightest abnormality.

This can't help but make Xu Yi value these hundred guards.

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning, when the sun was just beginning to emerge.

The two people in the Youning courtyard had already washed up and had breakfast.

Xu Yi put the soft armor on the inner lining.

He then tied the dragon's tooth the size of an adult's palm to his arm and covered it with his sleeve.

Finally, he slung the black slash abyss around his waist.

When Xu Yi, who was dressed in a black robe and had a slashing knife hanging from his waist, walked out of the door again.

Zhao Shou had already prepared the horses.

Compared with the past, a waist knife suddenly appeared on Zhao Shou's waist at this time.

Of course, that waist knife is not made of extraterrestrial black iron like the abyss cutting knife.

But it is also made of 100 refined steel, no matter how bad it is, how bad it can be.

"Let's go."

Xu Yi stretched out his hand to take the reins handed by Zhao Shou.

He quickly turned over and got on his horse and slowly walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Zhao Shou didn't move at all, turned over and followed silently.

After a night's rest, the injuries at the base of the thighs of the two had already healed.

Some of the weak points have even faintly taken the shape of a cocoon.

Once the cocoon was fully formed, the two of them rarely had the pain of yesterday when riding horses.

"Sixth master? Where to go? ”

Outside the gate of Youning Courtyard, Zhao Shouduan sat on horseback, glanced left and right, and then looked at Xu Yi with a frustrated face.

In Youning Courtyard, Zhao Shou could turn around three times with his eyes closed.

But this time out of Youning Courtyard, Zhao Shou was completely dumbfounded.

"Come with me."

Xu Yi shook his head helplessly, and then silently rode his horse to the forefront.

"Well, I know the road when I leave Zongzheng Temple."

"Zhao Shou has all the pictures of Kanyu given by the sixth master in his mind."

Zhao Shou scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
