After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

Tian Ding controlled the speed of the horse and circled twice in Shen. When the blue sky replaced the sunset glow, he stopped at a secluded mountain stream.

He dismounted and swatted mosquitoes with the piece of paper for a while, and then the carriage that was following him from a distance appeared in front of him.

Without a moment's hesitation, Tian Ding got into the carriage.

Taking off the hat worn by the person next to him, Tian Ding looked at Yang Huai carefully.

He stretched out his hand uncertainly, as if he wanted to touch Yang Huai all over.

In fact, even if it was a ghost, Tian Ding wanted to see Yang Huai: "You are still alive, so do you have to return the paper money I burned for you?"

Those of them who knew some of the secrets knew that although Xie Nanxing seemed to have gone somewhere else, he had actually been killed long ago.

How could Yang Huai, who served Xie Nanxing so closely, escape the disaster?

He swept Tian Ding's hand away and said, "You burned the dead, but you asked me, a living person, to pay it back. How can this make sense?"

When Tian Ding heard Yang Huai start talking, he smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

After laughing for a while, he was still worried: "Did you get hurt on this trip?"

"I broke my leg, and now I walk with a limp."

"I was stabbed twice on the shoulder and back. It was really hard to endure the rain."

"I have a lot of cuts on my body, but I managed to trick the assassins and save my life, so I think I'm lucky."

Tian Ding's mind flashed with the image of Yang Huai being seriously injured, and his eyes subconsciously began to turn red: "Thank you, brother, for saving your life, so you have also repaid his life. Don't dwell on the past all the time."

With a deep breath, Tian Dingji said solemnly: "Even Lord Shen can't avenge him. Even if you sacrifice your life, it will be in vain."

Tian Ding would never think that Yang Huai came back to Shendu just to see him. The only thing that could make Yang Huai return to Shendu before his injuries were fully healed was Xie Nanxing's revenge.

"Am I such a fool?"

Tian Ding shook his head: "No, it's you. You are very stubborn and won't listen to advice."

"When others treat you well, you repay them with all your heart, but the more you repay, the more you feel it is not enough."

"Lord Shen has now found an oiran and has fallen in love with someone else. You must not be stupid this time."

Because of Xie Nanxing's instructions, Yang Huai didn't go to see Xie Nanxing at all after returning to Shendu.

Before his master left Luo Garden, he told him that they could only meet once after returning to Shendu, and only Xie Nanxing could come to see him.

With a frown on his face, Yang Huai asked repeatedly:

"Which courtesan is this?"

"When did you become interested in it?"

"Where is the courtesan now?"

Seeing Yang Huai's cannibalistic look, Tian Ding moved back and said, "I heard she is the courtesan of Nanfeng Pavilion, her name is Ji-some-yue."

"My men reported that it was just a passing encounter on the long street, but Lord Shen directly kidnapped the person and took him home, and even skipped the morning court for him."

This Young Master Ji Yue is extremely favored by Shen Jinmo and is not someone Yang Huai can afford to offend.

Could Yang Huai not hear the warning hidden in Tian Ding's words?

The person who really couldn't see through it wasn't him, Yang Huai, but the civil and military officials who always put power between love and affection.

In Yang Huai's opinion, if Xie Nanxing was really gone, Shen Jinmo might choose someone else.

Shen Jinmo, who had loved his master and was seriously loved by his master, would definitely not kidnap someone in the streets and ask for their true love.

Changing the subject, Yang Huai gave Tian Ding a definite answer: "I cannot avenge my master. I am here because I left something very important in the capital. I must bring it back."

Tian Ding looked at Yang Huai for a long time with deep eyes, and then said in a teasing voice: "I am married, my wife is of prominent status and beautiful, I hope you are not attracted to me?"

Rolling his eyes at Tian Ding, Yang Huai really despised Tian Ding: "You really know how to flatter yourself."

He lowered his head and frowned, and when he raised his head again, the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

One never comes to visit without a request. Yang Huai must be here because he needs his help.

"You and I are good brothers. Please feel free to ask for anything I can do."

There was no need for push and pull between them: "Help me arrange a place to stay in the Tian Mansion. As for the rest, I don't know what to do at the moment. I can only take it one step at a time."

The Tian Mansion, which is protected by the people, is Yang Huai's most secure hiding place now.

After pouring a cup of tea for Yang Huai, Tian Ding asked, "My parents have been talking about you at dinner these days. Do you want them to see you?"

"If my whereabouts were revealed, it might bring disaster to the Tian family."

A chess game that Tian Ding cannot see clearly and understand has quietly unfolded. The purpose is unknown, but Yang Huai and Tian Ding must protect it.

"Although the sun is not as hot as before, the fruit will soon be ripe. I will ask my parents to take my wife to the farm to play for a while tomorrow."

"You can stay in the Tian Mansion as long as you want. If you need me to help you with something, just give me instructions as long as you don't want my head."

When the Yang family was in great trouble, Tian Ding's biggest regret was that he failed to protect Yang Huai and let Yang Huai suffer such torture.

Now times have changed. Tian Ding, who cannot get over the test of conscience, has to protect Yang Huai even if it means losing his official hat.

When he was down and out, all his former brothers and friends abandoned him, leaving only Tian Ding. When they met again while drunk, he was still concerned about whether he had any money to spend.

He held a high position in the Xie family, and there were countless people who had connections with him. Although Tian Ding occasionally talked about it, he never really followed his path.

Now he has entered the capital alone, with an uncertain future, but Tian Ding once again chooses to leave a place for him to stay.

Yang Huai, moved.

"Tian Ding, sometimes I wonder if you are too good to me."

"Hmm..." He smiled softly, "You are also very kind to others, but you never remember the kindness you have shown to others."

In this world, no one gives without asking for anything in return.

If Yang Huai had not been by Xie Nanxing's side, had Xie Nanxing's trust, and had not taken the initiative to reveal his relationship with himself, Shen Jinmo might not have handed over the Imperial Guard Division to him so quickly.

Yang Huai had already given him what he had always dreamed of.

He raised his hand, and Tian Ding followed suit.

Clap your hands and Yang Huai expressed his sincerity: "When all the gods are at peace, I will invite you to see the man I raised."

The originally relaxed smile on Tian Ding's lips became a little dry.

He never thought that Yang Huai, who had been humiliated and hurt so deeply by the nobles of Shendu, could still give her body and mind to a man?

This time, I must have come for that man.

I never thought about it before, and I shouldn’t think about it now.

After hesitating for a few times, he opened his lips again with a generous and relieved look: "I look forward to that day coming soon."
