Chapter 102 I Chose You
The wind blew the girl's silver hair at her temples, and her expression was distant and quiet.

The sleeves of his robe were stained white in the moonlight, with a kind of divine detachment that was difficult to describe in words, which made Li Guanyi suddenly understand the description of the poem "I want to go home with the wind."

Then Li Guanyi saw the girl lower her head and look at the height from the top of the wall to the bottom.

He pursed his lips.

He squatted down, stretched out his hand to measure the height, and his face turned slightly pale.

Then he raised his head and looked at the young man over there.

There was still no expression on his face.

Li Guan smiled and threw the scroll in his hand. The white papers scattered like butterflies under the moonlight. Then he quickly walked to the corner and raised his hands as before. The girl blinked and squatted down first.

Then sit in the corner.

He shook his legs and then his body.

No hesitation or doubt.

Jump down.

Her long silver hair stretched out in the moonlight.

Li Guanyi felt his palm touching the girl's knees and calves, the touch under the thin cloth, and then it hit him like a gust of wind. If Li Guanyi's golden muscles and jade bones reacted, Yaoguang would be bounced away, and he would fall backwards to relieve the force.

The boy fell to the ground.

The silver-haired girl knelt before his chest, her hair flying up and down, the moonlight clear.

The hair brushed against his temples, making him feel itchy.

In the distance there was the sound of birds flapping their wings. The wind blew through the trees, rubbing the leaves at the top of the forest. It slowly merged with the wind in the sky and disappeared. Outside there came the sound of a night watchman beating a clapper, shouting in a hoarse voice:
"It's dry and the weather is dry."

"Be careful--"

"Candle."

The sound gradually faded away and disappeared.

Instead, it feels more quiet.

Yaoguang looked calm.

Then he stood up, bent down, brushed the dust off his body, thought for a while, and stretched out his hand.

The silver-haired girl had a calm face under the moonlight, as if the moonlight itself was reaching out to him. Li Guanyi smiled and stretched out his hand, thinking that if he were as high-spirited and suave as General Xue now, he should pull the girl in front of him into his arms.

That guy would definitely do that.

He just exerted his own strength and stood up with the momentum. Yaoguang turned around and stood behind him, reaching out her hand to brush the dust off him.

Li Guanyi walked out the door and saw the girl's huge package outside the yard.

Li Guanyi couldn't imagine how Yaoguang could travel with such a big package on her back. Just thinking about it made him want to laugh. He asked, "Why are you here so suddenly?"

Yaoguang said quietly: "I think you need help."

Li Guanyi suddenly thought of the formation diagrams that trapped him, so he told Yaoguang. Yaoguang flipped through some classics, surprise in her eyes, and stretched out her hand, so the moonlight wrapped around her fingertips, and the moonlight and starlight flowed and changed in the air, deducing the changes in the formation.

Yaoguang said in a calm voice:

"In this way, the changes in the formation will be very clear."

When Li Guan saw the changes in the formation diagram that he had not thought of before, which were presented in a three-dimensional way in Yaoguang's hands, it suddenly became much clearer than the previous deduction. He was immediately overjoyed, picked up all the scrolls scattered on the ground, and then deduced these formation diagrams with Yaoguang.

The progress was much faster than before. If Li Guanyi had not been able to master those variations even if he had stayed up all night before, now he might be able to complete it if he tried his best. Under the light, the girl's voice was calm and without ripples.

Every time he opens his mouth, Li Guanyi will have new ideas.

To Li Guanyi, those were simply complex variations of the heavenly book.

The girl could see the changes at a glance, and after a few breaths of hesitation, she could see the mystery in it. She also had an understanding of the part about "Huangji Jingshi Shu". The Donglu Stargazing School, one of the three secular sects, had not lasted for such a long time and it was not in vain.

And Yaoguang was able to get the name "Yaoguang" at such a young age.

Naturally, he is not an ordinary person.

They are not good at frontal combat among warriors, but they are far stronger than them in other aspects.

Time passed unknowingly, and the starry sky in the distant sky had gradually dimmed. First, the sound of birdsong suddenly became louder, and then a ray of white gradually appeared on the horizon. Yaoguang and Li Guanyi had dismantled the last formation diagram.

Li Guanyi stretched and looked full of energy.

The tension in his heart finally settled down. When he was looking through the formation diagram, he recalled what happened yesterday and said, "Yesterday, Po Jun came to see me."

Silver-haired Yaoguang looked calm and tilted her head: "Hmm?"

Then he thought about it and answered:
"Ah."

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "He came to see me. As a member of the Yaoguang lineage, aren't you worried?"

Yaoguang knelt in front, her hands resting lightly on her knees, and replied in a calm voice:

"Each generation of Pojun is good at military strategy. Even if they are not under the command of the White Tiger Sect, they will still give strategic hints. The overlord eight hundred years ago possessed both Yaoguang and Pojun, but he failed to follow Pojun's strategy and allowed Chidi to leave three times."

"When the Overlord was finally defeated, Po Jun still found a way to break the situation. He was unwilling to give up. Even though he was seriously ill, he still paddled the boat and found the Overlord from under the siege of the Red Emperor, hoping to help him survive."

"The Overlord simply apologized, let Po Jun leave, and took the initiative to choose another path."

"According to the records, the original Po Jun cursed the brat when he was old, but he still shed tears, missing the overlord who passed away. After that, just like our lineage has our own rules, the Po Jun lineage also has to confirm the other party's ability before choosing whether to assist them."

"It seems that after that generation, Pojun believed that the Overlord chose the final outcome because of Yaoguang of that generation, so he angrily made a decision and absolutely refused to assist Yaoguang's faction. This is already an old story of the East Land Astronomy School."

"Before, the only one who gathered Pojun and Yaoguang at the same time was the Overlord."

"No matter what, those who are good at strategy will definitely be chosen by the military advisor."

"He should come to see your bearing."

Li Guanyi said, "Yes."

Yaoguang's voice was quiet. After thinking for a while, she said, "It's the same as what is said in the classics."

Li Guanyi was already very relaxed in front of Yaoguang. He propped his chin with one hand and looked at the girl who was quietly sorting out the classics in the candlelight. With his other hand, he used a pair of small scissors to cut the candle wick that was too long. He joked, "Aren't you curious about my choice?"

The silver-haired girl stretched out her hands as usual and covered Li Guanyi's palms.

His voice was calm and he whispered softly:

"Whether you choose me or not is not the point."

"But I chose you."

"For me."

"That's enough."

When Li Guanyi was stunned, the girl loosened her hand. She covered her hood and knelt in front of Li Guanyi. Only her perfectly curved chin and the silver hair hanging down at her temples could be seen. Her voice was calm and peaceful:

"Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Li Guanyi was silent for a moment, then he raised his hand, tapped his chest lightly, and replied:

"I will also abide by this covenant."

"The agreement between you and me."

After he said this, he scratched his head and said, "It's daytime now. I'll go get some breakfast and then I'll go to the Jinwu Guard." He stood up and walked out quickly. The wind blew outside, and Li Guan breathed a sigh of relief.

Inside the room, the girl knelt quietly for a long time.

He nodded his head slightly forward.

Then he woke up immediately and sat up straight again.

He breathed quietly, then his body moved forward again, his head nodding slightly in sleepiness.

This was the scene that Li Guanyi saw when he came back. He placed the steamed buns, duck blood vermicelli soup, and some vegetarian dishes he brought back on the table and sat quietly, waiting for Yaoguang to wake up by herself. Yaoguang paused and asked, "Have you come back a long time ago?"

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "No, I just came back and put my things down." "Beijing's breakfast tastes pretty good."

"Try it?"

Yaoguang held the bun in both hands and took a tentative bite. She knelt down while eating, holding the bun in both hands. She was wearing a loose hooded dress that people from otherworldly backgrounds wore, which made her look even more petite.

Li Guan took a big bite and suddenly remembered, "Can you give me a secret technique for the defense of the imperial city so that it is not easy to be discovered?"

Yaoguang shook her head and reminded in a calm voice, "Have you forgotten?"

"The previous killer had traces of witchcraft on his body."

"Astrology, fortune-telling, and witchcraft each have their own strengths."

"Emperors since ancient times have been terrified of astrology. They worry about their destiny being seen, so places like the imperial palace always have witches and sorcerers, as well as organizations like the Imperial Observatory, which is one of the most secretive places in the world. My magic cannot help you."

"The emperor is the one who fears death the most in the world. They hate us."

"If I can reach the level of a teacher, maybe I can help you a little."

Li Guan nodded, thinking of the Mohist killer.

"I'm just asking. The imperial palace is heavily guarded. However, the Jinwu Guards are still qualified to enter. If you are in the capital, you can stay here." Li Guanyi hurriedly finished his breakfast, grabbed his badge, and went to the imperial city.

After verifying his identity, he changed into heavy clothes and armor.

The Jinwu Guards wore battle robes, clad in Huaguang armor, with heavy swords hanging from their waists, a crossbow on one side, and halberds. Li Guanyi gave away his position and took the order from the Jinwu Guards. Although he was originally a seventh-rank Zhenwei captain, when he came to the Jinwu Guards, he was only a left or right halberd bearer, a ninth-rank official.

Even so, ordinary seventh-rank military officers would still look respectful when seeing them.

Afterwards, Li Guanyi and the other nine newly selected Jinwu Guards followed the arrangements together. They were assigned to be the recorders and military advisors of the Yulin Longwu Army of the Jinwu Guards, and were informed of some new rules.

Li Guanyi realized that there were differences within the Jinwu Guard. Although they were all patrols, the patrols were the best places because they would not make mistakes and could get benefits from the eunuchs, as well as the areas where officials from the palace came to pay tribute.

Patrolling the Imperial Gardens and other places has beautiful scenery. Although there is no money to be made, it is still a relaxing place.

It is the middle level.

The worst are two.

One is the cold palace, where no one comes and goes, and the people in the cold palace don’t show much filial piety.

If anything happens, the Jinwu Guards will inevitably be implicated.

The second type is the forbidden palace Qilin Palace allocated today.

It is the lowest level position.

There is nothing coming, no benefits and tributes, but there is no special news in the Forbidden Palace. Once something happens, hehe, the cold palace will at most punish you for misbehavior in front of the palace, but the Forbidden Palace will have to silence you and keep it secret.

All the Jinwu Guards were shocked when they heard what the military commander said.

They immediately turned to Li Guanyi with unfriendly looks. They were all children of major military families. Some of them gave up the selection of the Night Cavalry in order to beat up this young peer who was praised by Yuwen Lie as the "strongest in Chen State", just to defeat him in the arena.

But who would have thought that this guy would actually directly reserve the spot.

The same tactics they used to oppress the people in the past are now coming back upon them.

I was so depressed that I almost vomited blood!

The die is cast, these young men from aristocratic families gritted their teeth and came here, determined to make Li Guanyi suffer. The young man felt the hostility and was at ease, but he felt a little depressed in his heart - Qilin Palace was probably the Forbidden Palace.

It's a bad job.

I was personally nominated by Concubine Xue, and I was afraid that I would be assigned to the most lucrative position in the Jinwu Guard.

At this moment, Li Guanyi noticed the gazes of these military honor children, and suddenly a plan came to his mind. He waited until the military officer finished speaking and was about to leave. Sure enough, those noble children suddenly attacked and cursed, "Are you the toad who got in through the back door?!"

Li Guanyi, wearing heavy armor, said, "Who are you scolding, Toad?"

The noble family boy shouted angrily: "Of course I am scolding you!"

After he blurted it out, he immediately realized that he had entered a circle. The young man smiled and said, "Yes, the toad is scolding me, and you are the toad." The young men from the noble families around him all had a carefree character. When they heard this, even though they were fellow travelers, they also laughed out loud.

The young man from the noble family turned pale and blue in the face, and cursed: "What a peasant!!"

He was so angry that he didn't care about anything else. He swung his fist and hit Li Guanyi. The young man picked up a bench next to him and smashed it into pieces. Li Guanyi shook his wrist, and the remaining thing fell directly on the other young man's face, making him dizzy and dazed. He was also furious: "Fuck!"

"Zhou, are you blind? Who are you going to hit?"

The young man who spoke first cursed: "I will beat anyone who laughs at me!"

Li Guanyi's martial arts skills were better than theirs, and he added fuel to the fire. Soon, the fight broke out. The nobles reacted and shouted angrily, "Knock this bastard over first!"

"This kid is doing bad things!"

Outside, the military officer heard the noise inside, but he was calm and did not go in.

The surrounding Jinwu Guards said, "Sir, don't you need to care about it?"

The military officer said, "Alas, it is because Captain Li is too arrogant. So many children from noble families are disgusted. How can I stop him?"

"Just let them solve it themselves."

The Jinwu Guards understood that this meant that the military personnel had already taken sides.

These selected Jinwu Guards are all outstanding children from aristocratic families.

Originally they were all going to go as Night Cavalry.

If it weren’t for what Yuwen Lie said that day, they wouldn’t have come to Jinwuwei.

Now there are nine young men from noble families wearing armor, tall and strong, and they can't beat one person?
It's so stressful that it's killing me.

The military officer thought that after this incident, his tigress would allow him to take a concubine.

He was willing to have one dragon and two phoenixes. To be honest, if it weren't for this matter, he might not agree.

It makes me warm just thinking about it!

Hearing the noise inside gradually quiet down, the military officer said, "It's almost done, let's go in and take a look." He pushed open the door, and the expressions of the military officer of the Jinwu Guard and the other Jinwu Guards froze.

The inside was already in a mess, and the tables and chairs had turned into broken pieces.

The nine young men from noble families all fell to the ground, their faces bruised and swollen.

Stacked together, there was only one young man wearing heavy armor, sitting on the backs of these young men from noble families who were lying on the ground. He raised his hand to flick his battle robe, which was spotless, and his eyes were calm, overlooking the soldiers in front of him.

The roar of a tiger seemed to be heard in the void.

The military officer's face turned pale. He saw the young man and said, "You've come just in time."

Li Guanyi walked over step by step, his face pale.

Then Li Guanyi reached out his hand, picked up the file, looked at his name, and said, "Today, we fought each other. Whose fault is it?"

The military officer was shocked by the White Tiger Dharma Image and said, "Yes, it's them..."

The young man from the noble family looked pale, angry and indignant, and worried that he would be sent to the cold palace. His face was pale and terrified, but he saw the young man said calmly: "Okay."

“This time, I couldn’t hold back and beat them.”

"The charges are theirs, but the blame is mine."

The young man from the noble family was stunned and looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief. He was relieved and felt guilty at the same time, and the guilt gave rise to admiration.

He actually has such courage and responsibility, I am really not as good as him.

Someone gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't think that I will appreciate your kindness! I, I!"

Seeing the young man in heavy armor holding a sword turned around, he said, "You don't have to appreciate it."

"If you want to fight, come over here openly next time and I'll fight you!"

"This time, everyone is responsible for their own actions."

"For the next ten days, I will guard the Forbidden Palace."
