Since receiving the Commander Token, the Xuanwu Academy has become busy. Even the guards on patrol were divided into two shifts day and night.

There are three days left before the day of the meeting, and it is the turn of An Dafang and Tong Bo to patrol the night, and An Dafang can't wait to urge: "Xiangyun, are you ready, you have to cheer up in the past two days." ”

Tong Bo scolded with a smile: "I don't usually see you so active, what's the matter lately, is it really an errand to make a contribution to the night?"

"Don't say it, as long as the deliberations are successful, maybe the master of the courtyard will really promote me to make a meritorious career as soon as he is happy. An Dafang said confidently.

Tong Bo picked up An Dafang's saber from the table and stuffed it into his hand: "My Lord An, when you make great achievements, don't forget the Xiangyun brothers who were born and died with you." ”

An Dafang replied with a smile: "Definitely, I will recommend you to the courtyard master when the time comes." ”

"That's not necessary, I think it's nice to be a night guard. As long as you don't forget our brotherhood. Tong Bo said.

"Xiangyun, brother is a lifelong thing, how can I forget. What's wrong with you, why are you so serious all of a sudden?" said with a smile.

"It's nothing, let's do a zone change tonight. Tong Bo realized that he was a little out of shape, and quickly changed the topic.

"Do you want to go to the side where I usually patrol the night?" asked An Dafang with some puzzlement.

"It's been an extraordinary time lately, and I want to get acquainted with areas I haven't been to before. Tong Bo explained.

"Alright, our old place will meet at the end of the hour. An Dafang nodded.

Night soon fell, and the stars in the sky were shining brightly. But Tong Bo had no intention of appreciating these beautiful scenery, he came to the door of Fu Bo's room with a tray in both hands, and said loudly: "Is Fu Bo here? ”

"It's the Tong guard, the door is not locked, please come in." Fauber's voice came from inside the house.

Tong Bo pushed the door in, and the environment in front of him surprised him slightly. Fu Bo's residence is a large single room, except for the sleeping kang, there is only a small round table and a Taishi chair, which can be said to be very simple, and the furnishings in the house are not even as good as the ordinary guard bedroom.

"Is there something wrong with the Tong guards coming here so late?" Tong Bo's ears rang with the voice of Fu Bo's old man.

"The lowly night patrol saw that the light was still on in your old room, and I came to bring you some supper. With that, Tong Bo put the tray on the round table.

"Oh?" Fu Bo looked at the tray: "Lamb chops, milk tea? ”

"If you like it, you can always like it. Tong Bo said.

Fu Bo picked up a piece of lamb chops and took a bite and praised: "This lamb chop still tastes good when bitten, and it is really a supreme enjoyment when paired with this snow-white milk tea." Tong Guard, you came today, not only to send this lamb chops, milk tea to the old decay, just say what you have to say. ”

"You are old and wise, and your humble position is indeed something to report. Tong Bo paused and continued: "Early the morning before yesterday, when the night patrol was about to end, I noticed that there were figures flickering near the Xuanwu Pavilion. But when the lowly officials arrived to check, the person was gone. ”

Then, he checked the door lock of the Xuanwu Pavilion again, and there was no trace of his hands and feet. Therefore, the humble position boldly speculated that this person's target was not Xuanwu Pavilion, but the Xuanwu Hall where the master of the Du Courtyard was located, and this person was a person in the courtyard. Tong Bo analyzed.

"And then?" asked Fauber, taking a sip of milk tea and looking interested.

"I didn't understand why this person sneaked into the Xuanwu Hall until I received the commander's order and learned that this time the court master meeting was going on in our Xuanwu Academy, and I couldn't figure it out completely. ”

"Figured out what?" a cold glint flashed in Fauber's eyes.

Tong Bo continued to talk as if he hadn't seen anything: "I've inquired about it, I have never been in the main hall, but in the branch house, of course something big will happen in this house." And it's either great joy or great sorrow. The master of the Du courtyard is bold and straightforward, and he is easily hated by others, so he speculates that this time is the great disaster of the courtyard master. ”

Fu Bo laughed, and seemed to be smiling happily: "Escort Tong, this is the funniest joke I've ever heard, who will believe what you say?"

Tong Bo smiled faintly: "If it is that figure below, I will definitely put some objects that are not conducive to the master of the Du Courtyard in the Xuanwu Hall, and leave them for public exposure during the discussion." In this way, the owner of the courtyard will not want to clear the suspicion even if he jumps into the Yellow River. By the way, you always like to eat lamb chops and drink milk tea, you must be from the north, right? Let me guess if you are always from the Northern Yan or the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

"Presumptuous, you little night guard actually dare to explore the decay in private. Fu Bo swept away the appearance of the old dragon bell just now, and with a slight stroke of his right palm, he saw a yellow light flash in the air, attacking Tong Bo.

Tong Bo's right foot was slightly raised, his body leaned back sharply, and he avoided this palm in an instant, but his face was swept away by the palm wind and felt faint pain: "The wind and thunder and lightning palm really deserve its name." ”

Fu Bo didn't answer, shook his hand and threw two flying needles at Tong Bo Yintang and Jizhong acupoint. Tong Bo supported the ground with his right palm, volleying a body, and at the same time, his left hand hit several flying locust stones with his backhand in a technique that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and only heard two "ding" flying needles were knocked to the ground.

At the same time, Fauber let out an "oops" and fell to his knees. Tong Bo stepped forward and grabbed Fu Bo's tiger mouth, and said with a smile: "Please be calm and don't be impatient, listen to the humble post and finish speaking." ”

"Hmph, Guard Tong's technique of hitting the hidden weapon is really clever, and while shooting down my flying needle, he can actually hit the old knee. Since it is in your hands, if you want to kill, you must listen to it. Fauber looked like he was waiting to die with his eyes closed.

Tong Bo helped Fu Bo up and patted the dust on Fu Bo's clothes: "It seems that you have always misunderstood, and you only need to take me to Xuanwu Hall to investigate in order to confirm the idea of low duty." How's that? It's not too embarrassing for you to get old. ”

Fu Bo looked at Tong Bo in disbelief: "It's that simple?

"Of course not, the lowly duty only wants to repay the master's life-saving grace, and everything else has nothing to do with the lowly position. Tong Bo intercepted.

Fu Bo gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, the old man will take the risk to help you this time." However, the old decay still has to advise you, it's best not to wade into this troubled water. ”

Tong Bo smiled nonchalantly: "This matter has its own opinions, so I don't bother you with it." ”

When good things come, you feel like time flies. Of course, when bad things come, time passes just as quickly, but this is often overlooked.

The day of the main meeting of the courtyard has finally arrived, the Xuanwu Hall is lit up and down, and the front hall in the hall has also been greatly renovated, giving people a new feeling. Du Hanshan, the owner of the courtyard, wore a red and black courtyard master, and the whole person looked radiant, and he took Zhou Pingyu and Wei Mingfeng to greet the courtyard master and guests who had come early in the morning.

"The division commander arrived. The welcoming guard outside the door shouted loudly.

Du Hanshan was chatting with several courtyard masters, and when he heard that the commander was coming, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly stepped forward and made a series: "Humble Du Hanshan, welcome the commander." ”

"Hanshan, you look very good today. Si Zhongwei patted Du Hanshan's shoulder.

"That's all thanks to the Commander, please take a seat. Du Hanshan said respectfully.

"Good. Si Zhongwei walked straight into the Xuanwu Hall and sat down on the main seat.

Everyone quieted down when they saw that the commander was coming, and several courtyard masters also sat down in their respective seats.

In the Xuanwu Hall, the guards of the four courtyards stand in four columns, from left to right, from the Suzaku Courtyard guards to the Xuanwu Courtyard guards, neat and orderly, with solemn expressions.

Seeing that today's Jingwei Mansion has such a scale, Si Zhongwei couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, touched his long beard and said with full confidence: "Zhongwei Thanks to your great help, my Jingwei Mansion has grown stronger and stronger in recent years. But I also hope that you will not be satisfied with this, but also work harder to share the worries of the saints. ”

"I am willing to be loyal to the Holy One under the wise command of the Commander. The hall erupted in thunderous shouts.

Zhao Yuanchang wasted no time in pasting it and asked, "Commander, can the court master's deliberations begin?"

"Well, let's get started. Si Zhongwei nodded.

Zhao Yuanchang cleared his throat, took out an account book, and said loudly: "I will first announce the completion of this year's tasks in each academy. Suzaku Temple, a total of 100 tasks, 83 completed, 17 failed. Qinglong Academy, a total of 85 tasks, 62 completed, 23 failed. In the White Tiger Courtyard, a total of 80 tasks were accepted, 60 were completed, and 20 failed. In the end, the Xuanwu Academy, a total of 120 tasks, 112 were completed, and 8 failed. It is the best cross-hospital to complete the task this year. ”

After reading out, Zhao Yuanchang closed the account book and retreated to the side to look at Si Zhongwei.

"What Steward Zhao read out just now, I think the masters of the courtyard have already heard it. Do you know why this seat put this year's head of the academy in the Xuanwu Academy? It is because the Xuanwu Academy, under the leadership of Du Hanshan, rose from the end of the four courtyards to the head of the four courtyards, and such a meritorious achievement needs to be displayed in public. The rest of the courtyard masters should also follow Hanshan's example in order to plan for the coming year. Si Zhong said majestically.

"Subordinates obey the instructions of the Commander. Everyone shouted in unison.

In the escort group, An Dafang whispered to Tong Bo: "Xiangyun, I'm not wrong." Now that our hospital is huge, I can follow suit. Maybe I'll really be able to stop patrolling in the future. ”

Tong Bo looked at An Dafang and didn't speak, and sighed in his heart: "I'm afraid this is the prelude to the storm." If we could end this matter at this moment, I would be thankful. ”

Tong Bo was in his thoughts, and An Dafang suddenly pulled Tong Bo's clothes: "Xiangyun, look, look." ”

Tong Bo looked up and saw a woman of eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a silver-white silk shirt and her watery skin; her jet-black hair was tied up high with a white ribbon, showing her heroic spirit; her delicate face did not have a trace of a smile, and her cold temperament made people look away and chill.

Si Zhongwei looked at the girl with a smile in his eyes, and his words were full of love: "Everyone, this is Si Ruoshui, the son and daughter of this seat. From now on, I will join the Jingwei Mansion, and I will ask you to take care of the little girl in the future. ”

Si Ruoshui bowed: "Ruoshui has seen all the courtyard masters. ”

"My Suzaku Courtyard is the first courtyard in this house, and Sister Ruoshui should come to my courtyard. A white-faced scholar-like boy gently stroked the folding fan in his hand, and the little finger of his right hand was particularly obvious with a black finger cover.

"Courtyard Master Xu's words are wrong, now the first courtyard in the mansion is the Xuanwu Courtyard where the master of the Du Courtyard is located, how can you be embarrassed to put gold on your face. is saying, Miss Si should come to my Qinglong Courtyard if she wants to come. A skinny-looking old man smiled sadly.

"Shang Wuwei, you can't get along with me, if you don't accept it, how about we compare and contrast in front of the commander?" Xu Shujian shouted.

"Just with me, Xu Shujian, you can draw out the way. "Shang Wuwei is not to be outdone.

"Shut up, today is a good day for the head of the house, what is the system of fighting and killing. Si Zhongwei shouted angrily, suppressing the voices of the two courtyard masters.

"I don't dare. Xu Shujian and Shang Wuwei suddenly lost their momentum just now.

"Speechless, what do you mean. Si Zhongwei turned around and looked at Ye Wuyan, the master of the White Tiger Courtyard, with his eyes.

Ye Wuyan, who was gloomy and silent just now, stood up unhurriedly: "Commander, all the courtyard masters." In my humble opinion, Miss Si should enter the Xuanwu Academy the most. ”
