I think this may be the 'Four Spirits' way of trying to improve the relationship with you. After all, you have been their No. 1 general for so many years, and it is difficult for anyone to match your ability and experience, and they won't have time to woo you---"

"That's not called co-optation, it's called surveillance."

"You think too much, but I think the partner they sent you this time is very powerful, and with her assisting you, I believe it will be like a tiger."

"Have you seen her?"

"Before I was sent to you, I had already seen it in the mansion of the 'Four Spirits'. She is a little treasure in the hands of the 'Four Spirits', and I heard that she is also very favored. Originally, one of the 'Four Spirits' planned to take her in, but she was delayed by the instructions sent to you temporarily. I think she's done training with you, and she'll go back to be a bride. ”

Qingyuan stared at the ground blindly.

"I'm not a part of your weird organization, and I shouldn't have leaked this forbidden gossip, but I'm really worried about your situation, and I have to mention you. In fact, the 'Four Spirits' have great hopes for you, so don't keep playing tricks that displease them during your mission. Kill when you should kill, cut when you should chop. You're a jade-faced rakshasa, remember? It's in your nature to eat human flesh and eat human blood, don't smash the signboard you have built up for many years. ”

Qingyuan quietly closed the scroll.

"Although the little girl they sent is a bit overprotective, she has good qualifications, but she just lacks training. You can take advantage of this mission to train her well. ”

"What's new?"

"Burn the Sutra of the Four Dharma Kings."

Ying Hui took a sip of wine and moistened his throat: "I really don't understand the secrets between you, why do you keep asking irrelevant people like me to pass them on." ”

"That's where the layman's convenience comes in."

"Okay, okay, don't talk to me too much about things you don't understand." If it weren't for Qingyuan's safety, he wouldn't have bothered to wade into troubled waters. "Anyway, if you do burn the four scriptures, you can offset the improper disposal of those two old guys that you didn't slaughter before. It is a ruthless bargain to redeem the merits. Qingyuan flicked the pages back and forth, staring blankly at the rim of the cup.

"And this task is so good, it's just responsible for handling things, and you don't have to use a knife to see blood."

"The easier the task, the more pitfalls."

"Qingyuan, you know what. I think you're really too protective of people. Not everyone is as scheming as you think, and you don't have to treat everyone as an enemy. ”

"yes." When he was seven years old, he had this idea before he was almost stabbed to death by his companion.

"You're still feeling unhappy that you didn't win the position of 'White Tiger'."

Qingyuan stopped the meaningless movements in his hand.

"I originally thought that the 'White Tiger' throne among the 'Four Spirits' would be won by you. Your qualifications, your perfect battle deeds, your superb martial arts, your impeccable acting skills--- you are absolutely qualified to become a 'White Tiger', but unfortunately, your bloodline is not pure. ”

"Ying-e."

"I think they're really boring, they do things by their ability, what does it have to do with their bloodline? But I advise you not to care about these titles, to put it bluntly, the 'Four Spirits' are just four big minions, and they don't have to be at the mercy of people? It's better to just take on the task like you and not have to get involved in the discussion at the source. A whole body of kung fu has been sold to them, so there is no need to sell even the brains together. ”

"That's not how I have that mentality with them."

Ying Hui patted him on the shoulder with a look of 'I know'. "In front of old friends, what is strong? It's not like I don't know how you suffered before---"

"Gege!" Samadhi anxiously rushed into the gazebo.

"Samadhi has become so impetuous lately." Ying Yi smiled.

"For someone's blessing." Qingyuan said coldly.

"He's on his fourth trip, what's the big deal?"

"You can't do anything about it." Qingyuan hooked his gesture, and Samadhi immediately reported in his ears. He listened quietly for a while, his expression indifferent, "Just pinch her to death." ”

"Who?" Ying's heroic eyebrows jumped.

"The little baby of the 'Four Spirits'." I can't do it without going on a trip myself.

"What's wrong? What happened? Ying Yi immediately happily followed, and when he found out the direction he was going, he was stunned, "Why are you going back to Cold Spring Garden?" Did you put that little girl in there? ”

Cold Spring Garden has always been a forbidden place, even Qingyuan's siblings are not allowed to trespass without his permission, how can he place a strange girl in it? Aren't all the novices sent for training placed in the bundling room in the back building?

Before he stepped into the Cold Spring Garden, he heard the screams and cries of a nest of women fighting and fighting.

"You'd better not come in yet."

"Why?" Heroic painting screams. "Isn't that how I usually take it?" The ability to enter and exit Cold Spring Court without rumors is the privilege of friendship that he is most proud of.

"It's not that you won't be allowed in, it's that it's inconvenient."

"I just want to see your little partner, can't I?"

"If she's dressed."

"Huh?" Ying-e is dumbfounded.

As soon as they entered the hall, sure enough, all the warblers and Yanyan, who were in a mess, rushed up and cried aggrieved.

"Gege, we really can't stand it anymore, that little girl is a beast!"

"Yes, just teaching her how to sort out her work in the past few days has already made us all over the body, and people don't want to teach us anymore."

"We've always been responsible for serving you, so why should we serve that guy and let her bully?"

The women wore their hair in crooked buns, their clothes were torn crookedly, and their makeup was messed up, some of them were as wet as if they had been splashed with tea, and some of them were miserable like they had been entangled with cats. When he caught a glimpse of the bookshelf that was affected by the tea, two cold flames immediately burst out of Qingyuan's eyes.

"Where's she?"

"Hide there!" The women eagerly showed him the way, and looked at his cold back with joy.

Books have always been his heart, and a little damage is a big taboo. No matter who wets the bookcase, the initiator will never get away with it!

When Qingyuan coldly stepped into the dark suite, the small black shadow in the corner of the couch shrank.

"What else are you hiding?" His gentleness sent chills down Yanran's spine.

"I didn't start it."

"You say that every time it's a mess, let's change the excuse."

The arrogant laughter of the maids came from outside the suite, and as soon as she invited Ying to the stone pavilion outside the garden to enjoy the flowers, Yanran knew that she was finished. They deliberately separated the guests, just to facilitate Qingyuan to enjoy the crowd inside.

"Stand up and put your hand out."

The soft murmur made Yan Ran tremble. The rattan whip she feared the most was gracefully carried by his side, waiting to strike.

"Yan'er?"

"You--- you can't hit my palms anymore! I was beaten by you last time, and it hasn't gotten off until today, and if I continue to fight, my hands will be useless. ”

"Don't worry, I know how to fight, it will only hurt, it won't be wasted. Stick out. ”

She was so anxious that she was about to burst into tears, she had never been beaten before, and she never knew that she was afraid of pain. came to Qingyuan, but she was beaten twice in three days, so that she didn't dare to approach him.

"Why did --- have to hit me? Today's dispute is not my fault---"

"Huh? Have you forgotten the rules I taught? ”

No justifications are allowed. She knew, but she couldn't stand the wronged board.

"That's how I was beaten up in the past, and if you're going to train, you're going to have to go through this."

"Nonsense, you just want to force me back to my master."

"That's right, stretch out your hand, otherwise hurry up and get out of here, and complain to your master, he loves you very much anyway, doesn't he?"

"I won't run back so easily!"

"Reach out, don't let me say it again."

Her little face was all huddled. It's one thing to speak bravely, it's another thing to be beaten, and she gradually understands that the iron-boned man is not as good as the book writes.

"Keep your mouth shut, and don't let the guests hear your and cat scream."

She slowly walked out of the dark corner, trembling and stretching out two small red and swollen palms.

"The old rule, shed a tear, five more boards. Retract your hand once, ten more boards. ”

Unafraid! You can't cry, you can't scream, you can't shrink! He just deliberately asked her to stay here, give up studying and working with her partner, she couldn't lose, and she had to fight to the end.

When the first whip was slammed up, Yan Ran almost gave up her previous declaration, whimpering in pain, her eyes closed tightly. Immediately after that, whip after whip, the ferocious force almost knocked her to her knees.

"Hand up."

There was no pity in his soft mutter, and a break suddenly broke out in the sound of continuous violent blows, and a new one was drawn from the barrel and continued to punish severely.

"Stand up, I didn't tell you to kneel."

But --- she was in so much pain that she couldn't stand the pain.

"Are you crying?" He hooked her chin with a rattan stick.

"Nope." She screamed with her eyes peeled.

The faint pipeline between the curtains shone on her face, making him slightly startled.

"Is there anything to quibble?"

"Nope!"

"Should you follow the rules next time you come back to me?"

"Got it!"

"Good." He threw away his whip and spun away, leaving her alone in the forest suite.

Yanran sat down on the couch, crying and blowing her little hands vigorously. The palm of the palm burned like a fire, and the burning sensation could not be extinguished no matter how much it was blown. He does know how to beat people, and after such a fierce whipping of his tender palms, he does not see the slightest scar, but he is swollen like a big red steamed bun, and he can't hold it.

Qingyuan hates her, for some reason she can't figure it out, he just hates her.

Strange tears kept falling, falling on the burned palm, I didn't feel it at all, the hand hurt so much, the painful tears were not obedient.

It's better not to be his partner, just learn to be his woman as he said last time. He can wear beautiful clothes like those maids and dancers, talk and laugh with him, and scream inexplicably in the bed curtain, why bother to be a bad partner who bores him?
