After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

He took it over before he finished speaking.

Do you need me to cover for you?

He nodded, turned around and handed her what was in the drawer.

Next, I will recuperate in another hospital on the pretext of being sick. I have already found a substitute. Apart from his assistant and private life, you are the only person he can see.

These are all my daily habits when showing them to the outside world. I must not let others tell whether they are true or false.

If anything goes wrong, go and discuss countermeasures.

The next day, news came that he was seriously ill in bed and could not see guests.

Most of the people who knew him came to visit him with gifts.

The villa is actually a bit far from the city, but she still goes there to take care of her sick husband after get off work every day.

It was late at night when we left, and we didn't even wake anyone up.

When she woke up the next day, she found that the person had left, but she was still running around the city as usual, and no one suspected anything.

Just over two months after I left, I suddenly met someone on the way to the villa.

It's the butler around you.

He had obviously been wandering for a long time. He was unkempt, ragged, and covered in blood, as if he had just been in a fierce battle.

It was only after careful identification that I recognized him.

I finally found you!

Come on, come with me and save my second master...

Although I was excited, I still remained cautious and followed him carefully.

Even though he was once Fu Mingche's most trusted subordinate, based on what happened before, there was no guarantee that he would not be a traitor who turned against him later.

Everything is different now, so it's better to be careful.

He took them to an abandoned factory with a secret basement.

Because of long-term abandonment, the dark and damp smell in the basement makes people want to vomit.

The person lying inside heard the noise outside and asked weakly.

Are you back?

Startled, he walked quickly inside, enduring the smell.

With the light coming in from outside, she could finally see the person inside clearly.

He had become so thin that he looked unrecognizable, and his body was covered with whip marks. Some of the scars had not even healed yet, and several new ones had appeared on top.

I didn't expect that someone who was once so arrogant and unbridled would be forced to this point, so I quickly turned around.

She knew it was best to save face, so she walked a few steps outside and stood in the corner.

After calming down, he spoke in a hoarse voice.

The person lying on the ground froze for a moment, and struggled to move a little further inside, looking in disbelief at a piece of bright yellow clothing sticking out from the corner of the wall.

This voice...how could she come!

Because he was too excited, he fainted due to exhaustion.

He ran over and held her in his arms, looking up at her with pleading eyes.

Wait, were you the ones who made yesterday?

He nodded and looked at the person who had fainted in his arms.

Ever since that villain designed the imprisonment, I gathered a group of brothers and have been looking for news everywhere.

Until a month ago, a brother sent a message saying that the second master was imprisoned in this room.

We didn't care about so many things at the time. We thought that if the news was false, we would just fight to the death and die together with the enemy, which would be considered revenge.

But when I rescued the man, Erye had already been tortured beyond recognition by that bastard.

For the sake of our long-term friendship, please save him.

I don't ask for revenge for him or anything like that, I just want to give Second Master a place to stay.

Everything will be easy once we get out of customs. I will definitely make the decision for you.

This favor should be repaid, as I saved her in the past.

Now that he is in trouble, we cannot just sit back and do nothing.

Please get up, I'll think about if there's any good place to go.

He is not around now, otherwise he would have been able to protect her with his abilities.

Oh, right, the villa!

In his case, he certainly can't go looking for it openly.

It just so happened that the villa had just been searched recently, so it would not attract attention for the time being. Going to the villa is the best option at the moment.

Take him with me.

Hearing the voice, Xiaoliu, who was dressed as a stand-in, came out with the appearance of an assistant.

This person was a master of disguise, and he was recommended to her when the case was dealt with.

It was not until later that she found out that he was her subordinate.

You are back.

Just as he was about to open the door, his eyes met the two people in the car and his pupils shrank slightly.

Where did you find them?

Help the people in first, and ask about the others after they are settled.

Xiaoliu nodded. Having been by their side for many years, he naturally knew their relationship with their master, and hurriedly helped to help the man down.

He is a private person who specializes in taking care of your body, and now we can only ask him for help.

After a while, he came in panting, and before the old man could catch his breath, Xiaoliu pressed him to the bed.

Wait a minute... wait for me... to catch my breath...

Oh my God, it almost cost me my life!

Tsk tsk, it’s a good thing I’m young and strong, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to make it through…

After taking the patient's pulse, he packed up the medicine box and said with emotion to the patient.

It was because his body was too weak and he had been whipped for a long time that he couldn't wake up for a while.

As for the poison in the body, it can only be eliminated after the body is strong enough.

It’s okay. I’ll send some tonic medicine over and you can take care of yourself slowly.

It should take about a year or two for him to recover.

He had recovered by now, opened his eyes and looked at the people gathered around him, then fixed his gaze on himself, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something.

She stopped him, walked forward and squatted beside the bed.

I know what you want to say. It's time to stop fussing about it.

Let me just ask you one thing, what can I do for you?

I pursed my lips a few times and found that my throat was dry and painful.

The person standing by handed him the cup of water so that he could moisten his throat.

Help me find my brother.

But I heard that he went into seclusion a few years ago and has not come out since.

My eldest brother didn't really go into seclusion, but went out traveling.

Although I don't know where he is, he will come back as soon as he sees this message.

He stood up with difficulty, pointed to the paper and pen on the table next to him, wrote a few words, folded it up and handed it to him.

Holding the note, he stood up, looked at the person who had laid down again, and made a solemn promise.

I will help you contact the boss.

But before that, heal your wounds first and don't worry about anything else.

Then he turned his gaze to Xiaoliu.

If anything happens, tell me immediately.

After returning home, I unfolded the note and read it again and again.

I agreed happily at that time, but now I am worried.

The boss is traveling around, and I don’t know if he visits on weekdays.

If it is not transmitted, I am afraid he will not be able to receive it.

Or maybe he is still deep in the mountains and forests, how can he deliver the message?

While she was thinking, someone came to her and told her that they had something to discuss with her.

I stuffed the note into the lining of my clothes. I couldn't think of what to do with this thing for the moment, so I might as well do something else to divert my attention.

When she arrived, she found that he was there too. He nodded at her and moved aside.

Are these days very hard? I have to work and take care of my children.

Thank you for your concern. I was not used to it at first, but recently, my health has improved.

After some pleasantries, we got straight to the point.

I asked you to come here because I want you to go to the scene with me to check the situation and then give me a summary.

You two are old partners, so I feel at ease leaving the task to you.

They all agreed and then went back to their respective places to pack up and prepare to leave.

Although I just heard a description of the severity of the battle last night, actually seeing it was another story.

Almost all the troops left here were wiped out, and even the nearby hills were razed to the ground.

He reached out and picked up some scorched earth, then stared at the pitch-black scene.

There were only a dozen of them, yet they managed to escape almost unscathed despite causing such widespread casualties.

Isn’t it a little unlikely?

Someone called her over and said that there was an important discovery.

Put aside your doubts for the moment and quicken your pace as you walk inside.

Look, what is this?

Pointing to a small animal carved on the broken wall, it was crouching with its head raised high, and its shape resembled a fox but was not a fox.

The lines are smooth and the shape is formed in one stroke.

I touched the little animal with my hand. The lines were concave, smooth and flat, as if they were carved out by someone's fingers.

This guy's finger technique is really amazing.

I am also wondering, most people don’t have such ability.

Suddenly, I remembered a rumor I heard from a traveling merchant a few years ago.

It is said that there was once a great man among the people who appeared and disappeared mysteriously and loved to do good deeds.

People didn't know his name, and because this strange man left a small black beast as a mark wherever he went, they gave him a code name.

A thought flashed through his mind, but then disappeared.
