The morning light was dim, and the sound of soldiers practicing could be faintly heard outside the tent.

Luo Xunfeng woke up from his sleep and looked at the young man in his arms. The young man had his eyes closed, his handsome brows were tightly frowned, there was a fine layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and his face was flushed abnormally.

He hastily stretched out his hand to touch Su Yu's forehead, feeling hot.

The young man was awakened by his movement, slowly opened his eyes, blinked hard a few times, and asked Luo Xunfeng, "Are you going to wake up?"

He knew that Luo Xunfeng was going to help Mr. Wang, the servant of the Ministry of Rites who was accompanying the emperor on his southern tour today, so he was going to get up and help Luo Xunfeng change his clothes.

"Don't get up, you have a fever." Luo Xunfeng held him back, "I can clean it up myself."

"It's okay, when I had a wound before, I would always have a fever for a few days." Su Yu sat up.

Luo Xunfeng sat up and frowned, "You are not in the way, but I am in the way, do you want me to feel sorry for you?"

"..." The young man's ears were slightly red, and he pursed his lips, "Your injuries are not healed either... Will you be very tired today?"

Luo Xunfeng kissed him on the forehead, "How is my recovery? Don't you have to check up every day? Today Mr. Wang should tell me some errands to be done in the next few days, so I won't be very tired."

He turned over and got out of bed, and helped Su Yu to lie down, "Sleep a little longer, and I'll have the military doctor come and take a look for you later. If it's not good, we'll go to the town to find a doctor. The military doctor is also useless."

Su Yu knew that Luo Xunfeng was speaking out of anger, so he stopped arguing.He was lying on the bed, watching Luo Xunfeng put on his clothes and tied his hair, he felt hot and cold all over his body, it was really uncomfortable, he watched and fell asleep drowsily again.

Opening his eyes again, Su Yu saw that Luo Xunfeng was fully dressed and was sitting on the bedside looking at him, as if for a long time.

"Xunfeng, you haven't left yet?" Su Yu was a little surprised.

Luo Xunfeng reached out and touched his face and said, "I'm leaving." He stood up and sat down again, as if hesitating for something.

Su Yu asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Xunfeng said, "Su Yu, I need to move to live next to the emperor's tent today, so that the emperor can call me."

Su Yu was a little surprised, after thinking about it, it should be the arrangement that Luo Xunfeng got when he was unconscious yesterday.He stood up, "I'll pack my luggage."

Luo Xunfeng held him down, bit his jaw slightly, "You don't have to follow, they just let me live there."

"Why?" Su Yu couldn't help asking.

Luo Xunfeng said, "Only the royal guards and accompanying officials are allowed to stay near the emperor's camp. You can stay here for a few days and wait for me to come back."

As he said this, he clearly saw the reluctance flashing in the young man's eyes, but the young man didn't say anything, just nodded obediently.

Luo Xunfeng suddenly felt a little sour, and said to Su Yu, "I will come back every day to eat with you, and I will supervise you to take and change your medicine, you have to take care of yourself."

The young man stretched out his hand from under the quilt, put his hand on Luo Xunfeng's and said, "You too", he hesitated, and then said, "Actually, I can be invisible..."

"No." Luo Xunfeng interrupted him, "You also saw what happened yesterday. I don't know what kind of masters are ambushing around the emperor. If you are discovered, it will be no joke."

Su Yu hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Su Yu made a slip of the tongue."

Luo Xunfeng shook his head, his eyes darkened.

Su Yu hesitated, and said, "Xunfeng, don't worry about your current official position. Su Yu believes that with your ability, you will definitely be appreciated by the emperor soon."

Luo Xunfeng was slightly surprised that the young man was actually encouraging him.

He asked, "Do you want me to be a high official?"

Su Yu nodded, "If the young master can display his ambitions in his official career, the master's spirit in heaven will be pleased."

Luo Xunfeng's eyes moved slightly, "You still only remember Zhurong Villa."

Su Yu said, "Su Yu will never forget the kindness of the villa's upbringing. According to Mr. Fang, the villa will soon reverse the case, right?"

Luo Xunfeng said, "Well, maybe."

Seeing the anticipation and joy secretly revealed on Su Yu's face, Luo Xunfeng smiled, said goodbye to him and left the tent.

……

After leaving the tent, Luo Xunfeng walked towards Lord Wang's residence.

The sky is gloomy today, and crows are flying low and circling overhead.

Passing the gate of the camp, he saw a row of corpses hanging high.

His eyes swept across the row of corpses. The corpse in the middle was scorched black, and it was just like sand, and some of them were either unfamiliar or familiar.He knew in his heart that there were still a small group of rogues on the East China Sea, which was a kind of demonstration and warning, but seeing the row of corpses swaying in the wind without dignity after death like slaughtered livestock, his heart still A trace of intolerance was born.

Suddenly, his gaze was fixed on the face of one of the corpses.

At this moment, the call of "Brother Wang'an, Brother Wang'an" sounded in his ears, and Fang Zehao walked towards him from the side of the camp.

"Brother Zehao." Luo Xunfeng looked at him.

"Are you going to Mr. Wang's? I'm going to report to the emperor, let's go there together." Fang Zehao said, but he found that Luo Xunfeng looked at him with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Fang Zehao touched his face, "Is there something on my face?"

"You killed Xu Guan?" Luo Xunfeng asked him.

"..." Fang Zehao was startled, glanced at the corpse frame at the entrance of the camp, and smiled awkwardly, "You saw it."

"I don't understand, why did you kill him when you clearly promised to let him live?" Luo Xunfeng frowned.

"I don't want to either," Fang Zehao crossed his arms and said, "It's just that the pirates on Jiaozhu Island have done a lot of evil, and it is extremely difficult to get a pardon, and Xu Guan has taken an overdose of Wangji Pills before, and it is impossible to recover. You can also see his cramp, since he has become a disabled person, death is both atonement and relief for him."

"So you didn't plead with the emperor at all? You already knew about his condition, and it's impossible to cure him?" Luo Xunfeng felt a burst of anger at the behavior of his friend breaking his promise.

"Don't look at me like that." Fang Zehao also frowned, "This Xu Guan dared to kill an official because of personal hatred before, which shows that he is lawless and cruel. If he is really let go, wouldn't he let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

"Do you know the reason why he killed the official? Are you afraid of his cruelty, or are you afraid that he will be lawless again after he knows you lied to him?"

"Brother Wang'an, there should be a limit to the flood of sympathy!" Fang Zehao waved his sleeves, "The villain is all about profit. I lied to him at the time just to get out information. Is it okay if the result is good? No matter what." Whether it's in the Jianghu or in the officialdom, I don't believe you haven't seen others do this!"

"That's right, so it's right to kill the donkey? So I should thank you for fulfilling the benefits of my 'little man' metaphor?" Luo Xunfeng sarcastically said.

"Luo Xunfeng!" Fang Zehao was completely annoyed, he stared at Luo Xunfeng with his chest rising and falling, and Luo Xunfeng also looked at him.

In the end, Fang Zehao sighed helplessly, and said, "No one wants to have another person in the world who hates him. You should be more aware of this, and you should be more cautious in your words and deeds. If you want to stay with the emperor It takes a long time to go smoothly, and you must keep my words in mind.”

Luo Xunfeng's face became a little ugly, complex emotions flashed in his eyes, he made a bow to Fang Zehao, looked at him and said word by word, "Xunfeng, thank you Brother Fang for reminding me." Well, I left without looking back.

Fang Zehao's hand stopped in the air, and before he could touch Luo Xunfeng's sleeve, he looked at his palm and said to himself, "How can you be a villain? You are me..." Before finishing speaking, he smiled wryly and shook his head.

……

In the afternoon, two young eunuchs came to Su Yu's camp.

"Accept the order and receive the reward." A young eunuch said to Su Yu in a manipulative tone, it turned out that they came to give Su Yu the 300 taels of silver reward.

Su Yu knelt down to thank him, and raised his hands high, another little eunuch put a tray full of silver ingots into his hands.

Su Yu got up and put the silver ingot on the table, he was not good at words, after receiving the reward, he didn't know what to say except thanking the two young eunuchs.

I saw the two little eunuchs standing at the door, looking at him but not leaving, as if waiting for something.

After a while, the little eunuch who announced the decree suddenly darkened, and said to him, "Oh, how can you be so ignorant of the rules, the miscellaneous family represents the Holy Majesty to announce the decree, and you got up on your own before telling you to get up? Aren't you afraid that the miscellaneous family will accuse you of disrespect in front of the Holy Master?"

Su Yu was stunned, and saw a tricky smile on the eunuch's face, he didn't want to cause trouble, so he knelt down again, and said, "I know my mistake, please forgive me."

"Well, let's kneel down." The little eunuch said, "By the way, hold up the reward silver too, you can carry it well, and you can't drop a single ingot."

The plate full of silver rewards was placed in Su Yu's hand again, at that moment, he suddenly understood the reason why the little eunuch made things difficult for him.Holding the tray, Su Yu bowed his head and said, "The two father-in-laws came to deliver the decree, and the slaves are very grateful. For the silver ingots on the tray, I also asked the father-in-laws to take a few ingots to eat wine, and I also counted as slaves to express my gratitude."

A sneer came from above his head, and then there was no sound.

Su Yu held the tray high and kept kneeling.He has a high fever and his shoulders and back are injured. Is the weight of 300 taels an ordinary burden?After a while, he secretly clenched his lower lip, his arms trembling slightly.But he didn't want to show weakness and beg for mercy, so he persisted so hard that the tip of his tongue quickly tasted blood.

Finally, lightening their hands slightly, the two young eunuchs each took two silver ingots and put them into their bosoms, and the man who delivered the decree said, "Okay, get up."

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief, forced luck, endured the numbness of his knees, and stood up.

When a young eunuch saw the blood on his lips, he couldn't help looking away, but he saw four dishes and a rice bowl neatly arranged on the table in the middle of the camp, and all bowls were turned upside down on it.

"Hey, who are you waiting for? Have you eaten yet?" the little eunuch asked casually.

Su Yu said, "Wait for my young master to come back for dinner."

"You mean Lord Luo?" the little eunuch said, "He won't be back. At noon, the adults will have dinner with the emperor."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the young man's eyes suddenly darken, and his already pale face turned gray for a moment, making him feel as if he had broken something beautiful and fragile.

At this moment, there was a muffled rumble of thunder outside the tent, and another young eunuch raised the tent door to look outside, "Ah, it's going to rain", and the two of them left the tent in a hurry.

……

This afternoon, there was a light rain in the sky.

Luo Xunfeng sat in Mr. Wang's tent and wrote vigorously.

As soon as he put down his pen, Mr. Wang, who was sitting beside him, came over, picked up the memorial he had just written, and looked at it carefully.

"No, no!" Master Wang exclaimed.He was a small old man with squinting eyes, and he seemed to have a smile on his face all the time.

"Lord Wang, what is wrong with Xunfeng?" Luo Xunfeng asked.

"General Zhu Cheng has not recovered from his poisonous wound. The emperor ordered me to take you to sort out the victory report. You can see what you wrote," Lord Wang held the memorial in front of Luo Xunfeng, pointing to the number on it, "87 enemies were wiped out, captured 36 people, one large ship and eleven small boats were captured, and our army suffered 240 casualties."

"This, I wrote it based on the numbers reported by the army." Luo Xunfeng said.

"You can't write like this." Master Wang squeezed his eyes and stomped his feet, "Forget it, I'll read it, you write it——

This sea bandit suppression was a complete victory, with 380 seven enemies wiped out, five large water bandit ships sunk, our army suffered 42 casualties, and none of the warships were damaged... Sigh, why did you stop writing? "He looked at Luo Xunfeng who dropped the brush and said.

"Master Wang, isn't this a lie about the military situation?" Luo Xunfeng said.

"Absurd!" Master Wang said, "This is 'wenshi', do you understand 'wenshi'? Our army has won a great victory. Of course, the more we kill the enemy, the less we lose. Do you think the Holy One wants to see you more?" The number written or the number I said?"

"Couldn't this be bullying... um..." Before Luo Xunfeng could say a word, Mr. Wang stretched out his hand to cover his mouth.

"You can't talk nonsense!" Lord Wang lowered his voice.

"Written like this, does General Zhu know?" Luo Xunfeng asked Master Wang with a frown, spitting out the sweat from his hands.

"Everyone understands." Master Wang rubbed his hands, and gave Luo Xunfeng a look, "You are the one who doesn't understand!"

He pointed at Luo Xunfeng and said, "Hey, I heard that your background is considered to be out of touch with officials, why are you so uninspired? You have a lot to learn in the future."

Luo Xunfeng secretly rolled his eyes and didn't speak.

Master Wang folded his arms, "Why do I feel a chill."

Luo Xunfeng's ears moved slightly, and his eyes glanced at the edge of the curtain.

Master Wang rubbed his arms and said, "Xunfeng, looking at you like this, I have to remind you that you will return to Beijing with the emperor later, so don't take your skilled shadow guard with you in a daze. .”

Luo Xunfeng's face changed suddenly, and he said, "Master Wang, can we not discuss this matter?"

When Mr. Wang heard this, he thought that Luo Xunfeng didn't understand what he meant, so he started to give some advice, "I've heard about your situation, and I'm very sorry. Fortunately, you took a road to serve the country, The right way to reverse the case for the family is not..." Mr. Wang coughed dryly, glanced at Luo Xunfeng, and continued, "The emperor is merciful, but if you want to completely gain the emperor's trust, what should you do? Be cautious in your words and deeds! You The performance of the shadow guard this time has been spread in the army. I heard that he is like a sharp sword, and he obeys you wholeheartedly. You think the emperor would like you to always follow him with a sharp sword ?"

"The emperor didn't say that I won't let me bring Su Yu to Beijing." Luo Xunfeng frowned deeply, and glanced at the edge of the tent again, appearing absent-minded.

"Confused! Will the emperor specifically tell you how to arrange a slave? He will only see what you do! If you can't figure this out, I'm afraid you've lived in vain for so many years!" Master Wang said earnestly, saying Then, he crossed his arms again, "Why is this chill getting heavier and heavier, no, I'll go put on some clothes, you think about it first." After speaking, Master Wang ran to the bedroom of the tent.

Luo Xunfeng sat in front of the desk, slowly clenched his fists, and hit the table with his fist, the ink in the inkstone splashed, splashing the memorial he just wrote.

"Su Yu." He closed his eyes and called in a low voice.

Opening his eyes again, the young man in black had appeared in front of him.

The young man's body was smeared with moisture, and his face was so pale that it was somewhat transparent. He held an umbrella in his hand, and just looked at Luo Xunfeng quietly. His eyes were dark and he couldn't see any expression. bamboo.

Luo Xunfeng stood up, walked around the desk and walked in front of Su Yu, forced a smile, "You were so murderous just now, you scared Master Wang away."

"Master, I'm sorry." Su Yu lowered his head, gradually clenched his hand holding the umbrella.

Luo Xunfeng noticed that he was calling "Young Master", and couldn't help frowning. He forced himself to be calm and went to pick up the umbrella in Su Yu's hand, "Are you here to give me an umbrella? Didn't anyone find out?"

The young man raised his head, his face suddenly turned three points pale again.

Luo Xunfeng couldn't help but want to bite off his tongue.

"Su Yu, don't listen to that Mr. Wang's nonsense, I will not separate from you." He stretched out his arms to hug Su Yu, and found that the young man was trembling slightly.

At this moment, Master Wang's footsteps were approaching, Su Yu suddenly pushed Luo Xunfeng away, and took a deep look at him, Luo Xunfeng's heart twitched, and Su Yu disappeared into the tent in a flash among.
