Shadow Guard stand-in

He Jue rushed into the Xuanyi Department, and Jin Jiuye just came out, and the two bumped into each other at the door.

"Master." Jin Jiuye raised his eyes, there were bruises in his eyes, He Jue smiled, touched his sore nose, and said foolishly, "Eat, I'm hungry."

The two returned to Xuanyi Division, He Jue remembered and asked again: "Are you injured this time?"

Jin Jiuye shook his head, "I searched Fengya Pass for two days, but there was no one."

"That was an empty shot?" He Jue asked in surprise, "How could this happen?"

Jin Jiuye said: "Perhaps the Ninth Princess of Northern Qi went a step earlier and took everyone away. In short, my subordinates chased after her for two days..."

"Are you still chasing?" He Jue suddenly interrupted angrily, "I told you not to fight too hard, and you ignored my words, right?"

Jin Jiuye quickly admitted his mistake, "This subordinate wants to complete the task as soon as possible."

He Jue snorted coldly, "I'm so worried that I've waited for so long."

He turned his head awkwardly, and said the last sentence in a low voice, but Jin Jiuye remained silent. After a while, He Jue said, "Go wash up and change your clothes..."

Jin Jiuye didn't change his clothes for a few days, and only devoted himself to the task. He Jue said in distaste, "It smells like sweat, so I can bear it."

His face froze, the master never disliked him before, even after rolling in the mud, they could sleep in each other's arms, but now they are more and more picky.

After entering the house, the hot bath water was already ready, the man took off his coat, just entered the water, the door opened again with a creak, and He Jue walked in.

"Master?" Jin Jiuye almost got up, He Jue picked up the handkerchief hanging from the tub, "I'll rub your back for you."

Jin Jiuye said: "Don't, doesn't the master think his subordinates smell bad?"

The movements of He Jue's hands froze, "The smell is very smelly, but it is also fragrant."

"Smelly and fragrant?" Jin Jiuye was puzzled.

He Jue flicked the water with his hand, and greeted Jin Jiuye, "Shut up, don't have so many questions."

Being shocked, Jin Jiuye stopped talking, and He Jue helped him rub his back meticulously, which made his clothes wet, so he had to change accordingly.

"You have too many scars." Jin Jiuye was pulling on his shirt, and He Jue suddenly sighed.

Jin Jiuye asked: "Is it too ugly?"

He Jue shook his head, "I don't think I'm ugly, I just want to..." His eyes fell deeply on the man's tall and straight body, and he sighed, "I won't let you have another scar on your body again."

"That's hard." Jin Jiuye was very sincere.

He Jue: "..."

Jin Jiuye noticed the displeasure on his master's expression, and quickly said: "Or you can develop some plasters for removing scars."

It's okay if you don't say this, but He Jue's heartache was almost wiped away when he said it, he gritted his teeth and held back his breath: "I'm just talking to you, and I feel sorry for you to hurt less in the future, not discussing which plaster It can remove scars."

"Love talk?" Jin Jiuye blinked, "Is it also a must-learn skill for a concubine?"

He Jue snorted angrily, "That's right."

Jin Jiuye nodded, "Alright then, my subordinates will look up the unofficial history of the imperial concubine."

When mentioning unofficial history, He Jue thought of Jin Jiuye's fish raising incident. He felt aggrieved, but suddenly he was so happy that he smiled, "Don't learn anymore, you are like a little fool."

Jin Jiuye was stunned for a rare moment, stupid?Impossible, he always thought he was quite smart.

Alas, it is true that the master is disgusting him, is it because he got nothing from this mission?Or because of other reasons?

Fortunately, this kind of thinking was not long. The two had dinner together, and He Jue ate two big bowls, but he still didn't feel full. Looking at Jin Jiuye's eating, he seemed to be able to stuff his stomach.

In the evening Jin Jiuye rested in the Hall of Qinzheng, the room was stuffy and hot, and it was not good to put ice on for a long time in autumn, and He Jue had to sleep with others, so he could only fan himself with two fans.

Jin Jiuye has always been able to bear anything, but He Jue tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, he tossed and tossed for a long time without stopping.Jin Jiuye was lying on his back, his heart was very quiet, when he suddenly heard He Jue's sigh, "Oh..."

He turned his head to look at the other party, and He Jue reached out to cover the other party's eyes, "Don't look at me, I'm annoying."

"What's bothering you?" Jin Jiuye asked.

He Jue withdrew his hand, turned his mouth away, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is over, the weather is still dry, very unbearable, I don't feel sleepy. People say that the autumn tiger is really capricious. Brother Ye, don't you feel hot? "

Jin Jiuye said, "I don't think so."

"How is it possible?" He Jue stretched out his hand and burrowed into his clothes, "Is there no sweat on my body? My back is covered with sweat."

Jin Jiuye shrank back subconsciously, but quickly stopped himself, allowing He Jue to touch it twice.

He thought silently, and the master started again, saying some reason on his mouth, and started to fumble with his hands.

I still want him to go to bed.

Jin Jiuye's calm eyes were calm, and there was no expression on his face, but he thought of the situation of the previous few days in his mind.

The master chased him out from Xijing City, and the words he told him still seemed to be vivid in his ears, but now he is acting like this again, saying that it is hot, but he doesn't know where it is hot.He felt that the master must have thought about it, so he was embarrassed to mention it a second time.

He also looked at the pamphlet sent by the respect room a few times, and it didn't hinder his excellent memory if it was confiscated by the master later, as those pictures were all engraved in his mind.

"master."

"Huh?" He Jue fanned the wind, and also fanned for Jin Jiuye. He heard Jin Jiuye's voice in the dark, and responded lazily with a nasal voice.

"Actually... this subordinate can sleep tonight." Jin Jiuye's voice was very low, word for word.

He Jue didn't hear clearly, and what's more, he didn't understand, "What can I sleep with?"

Jin Jiuye didn't say anything, he didn't think he wouldn't understand with his master's recent temper.

But He Jue really didn't understand, and even coaxed him in a very helpless tone: "Yes, I know you are heat-resistant and can sleep, but I can't sleep if I am not heat-resistant. Then go to sleep first, and I will keep your voice down." , won't bother you."

"Master?" Jin Jiuye's dark eyes looked at He Jue again, and He Jue reached out to cover those eyes again, "Hey, close your eyes and go to sleep. I will sleep right away, too."

With a tone as if coaxing a child, Jin Jiuye sighed silently, stopped talking, and closed his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, He Jue moved his hand away, looked at the man sleeping soundly, and thought that the man might not sleep for several days, so he should take a good rest.But the weather was hot, so he couldn't sleep well, so he kept fanning him.

About half an hour later, He Jue's fan movement slowly stopped, and finally the fan fell out of his hand and fell on Jin Jiuye's chest. The man suddenly opened his eyes.

He didn't fall asleep, he turned his head to look at He Jue quietly, and then looked at the fan on his chest.At a certain moment, he suddenly felt that such a master didn't quite understand.

It's a little strange, but it doesn't matter, he is his master after all.Jin Jiuye slowly closed his eyes, truly letting himself fall asleep.

When he woke up the next day, He Jue felt refreshed, as if with Jin Jiuye by his side, he even slept a lot better.

Before going out, Jin Jiuye suddenly called him: "Master."

"What's the matter?" He Jue stopped, Jin Jiuye looked into his eyes, and after a while, asked: "Does the master think that this subordinate is qualified to be a concubine?"

He Jue sized up Jin Jiuye's expression, and said softly, "Why are you asking so suddenly?"

Jin Jiuye shook his head, while He Jue smiled, "Don't worry, you are qualified."

After getting He Jue's answer, Jin Jiuye didn't say anything more, because Yue Mo had something to worry about.For the next few days, he was busy interrogating the members of the Northern Qi Mission. Although Lang Qing ran away, none of the following messengers escaped.There are dozens of people in the entire mission, and there are guards and soldiers. Even if everyone asks for a quarter of an hour, it will take a lot of effort.

When he was free, he went to ask Lang Xiao and Lang Di again. Lang Di really had nothing to say, so he talked about the situation in Northern Qi. However, it didn't matter to Jin Jiuye and He Jue. What's the use.On the contrary, Lang Xiao wasn't surprised that Jin Jiuye went to Fengyakou to pounce on the air, and said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "I have always heard that Xuanyi is famous all over the world, and Lord Yingwei never misses. Who would have thought that Ninth Sister is better at chess?" .”

Jin Jiuye ignored Lang Xiao's words, and only asked, "Does the Ninth Princess know the news about Miss Bai at Fengya Pass besides you?"

"She didn't know at first." Lang Xiao lazily said, "Otherwise, she wouldn't have chased Nantang. She wanted Brother Seventeen's life, but after she destroyed the Yang family, she must have leaked the news from Yang Guogong. "

"Then how do you know?" Jin Jiuye asked.

Lang Xiaobai glanced at him, and sighed: "Brother Seventeen and I look so similar, and I have also learned the disguise technique. If we deliberately pretend to be disguised, even Bai Zhilan will not be able to tell them apart. Occasionally, that Miss Bai will also It's not surprising that I can know the news if I'm Brother Seventeen."

"What's more, I was the one who hid them for them, otherwise why would you need to pretend to be a woman?"

Jin Jiuye didn't believe his nonsense at all, and immediately found a loophole, "You pretended to be Miss Bai in order to get close to Xuanyi Division and lead Xuanyi Division to wipe out the Sun Moon Temple. Did you kill Jin Xiaoshou?"

"He committed suicide." Lang Xiaogai refused to admit it, "But I advise you, don't turn the world upside down in Xijing City. If Lang Qing returns to Beiqi, then the Wolf Smoke Rider will be summoned soon. She and Xuan Yisi got married like this With a big hatred, how can you not encourage the eighth brother to vent his personal anger?"

Jin Jiuye didn't speak, and seeing that he couldn't ask anything, he left behind and left.

The duty of the Xuanyi Division is to eliminate the dark forces, and the border affairs are decided by the cabinet. As early as two months ago, when Lang Qing first entered Xijing, He Jue made preparations.Don't look at the slack government in the Southern Tang Dynasty at the moment, in fact it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Sometimes the cabinet discusses into the night, which is especially serious these days. He Jue hasn't had dinner with him for two days.

"Urgent report at the border!" The small officials in the office rushed into the Qinzheng Hall, and all the cabinet ministers were startled.

He Jue took the military newspaper in the hands of the small official. The cover was marked in red for the most urgent. He quickly opened it, scanned it at a glance, and his expression suddenly became serious.

Elder Qi Ge asked: "Your Majesty, how are you?"

He Jue looked at all the ministers, and said sadly: "Yushiguan is lost, the horse defends first and dies, and the wolf smoke cavalry revives."

The old nightmare came again.

There was silence, no one spoke, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Suddenly a young and loud voice sounded, "Please go to battle!"

Qi Lezhi immediately knelt down and begged for his orders.

He Jue looked at him, then at Elder Qi Ge, who pursed his lips tightly.

Qi Lezhi said again: "Your Majesty, please take command of the expedition and swear to take back Yushi Pass."

Yushi Pass was the first pass line of defense in the Northern Territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty. If it was captured by the Northern Qi Dynasty, the city on the Qianli Plain behind the pass would be like a deserted land, waiting for him to enter with his wolf smoke cavalry.And the reputation of this brutal army of Northern Qi spread far and wide, it was a hundred times more powerful than the previous Life and Death Battalion, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that blood flowed like a river.

After all, it is a specially trained army, not a single individual.

"There is no more suitable candidate than this minister. Your Majesty, please trust me." Qi Lezhi added that he has great ambitions and a firm heart. He believes that his former classmates can understand his feelings.

What's more, the situation of the military generals in the court is not optimistic. The chaos of the five kings was involved in a lot, and those who can stay are old and faltering. The old general put on his armor and straddled the battlefield again?

Therefore, the most suitable one is Qi Lezhi, or He Jue's imperial conquest.

"Yes." He Jue agreed to Qi Lezhi's request, and ordered Shushe to draft an order to take over Qi Lezhi's command.

During the whole process, Qi Ge, who is Qi Le's biological father, did not say a word. After leaving the Palace of Qinzheng, he said to his son earnestly: "Le Zhi, you are going to fight as soon as the princess is pregnant. Go back and comfort me." Bar."

"Yes, father." Qi Lezhi replied.

The father and son walked for more than ten steps, Qi Lezhi said hesitantly: "If anything happens, I hope my father will take care of Ayao, she is timid..."

"Don't be afraid." Elder Qi Ge patted Qi Lezhi's shoulder with emotion, and said with a smile, "My son will definitely triumph, I just hope that my little grandson won't recognize him as a father by then."

Qi Lezhi smiled, "If he doesn't recognize me as his father, I will send him to His Majesty to raise him."

"Nonsense!" Boss Qige blushed, "Do you want to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Qi Lezhi knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and was afraid that if he said a few more words, He Jue's thoughts of standing behind him would be shaken out, which would be bad, and it would be more terrifying than going to the battlefield.

"Don't dare, son, isn't he trying to build a strong relationship with his mother?" Qi Lezhi grinned and tried to make amends, and old Qi Ge gave up.

But I didn't expect that the eldest princess who lived outside the palace for a long time and didn't ask about the affairs of the court suddenly entered the palace to ask to see He Jue in the early morning of the next day, so it was very clear why she came here.

"Your Majesty, Ayao will be pregnant for more than two months, and they are still newlyweds, so you want to send her husband to the battlefield. She is your cousin, how can you bear it?" The eldest princess was also unambiguous, the first sentence The reason is revealed in the words, even with a bit of blame.

She didn't want Qi Lezhi to be handsome this time. He was her daughter's husband. They had only been married for less than three months, and it was the time of deep love, but they had to face parting in a hurry, and life and death might even be unpredictable. Maybe I can't come back.

The eldest princess is a daughter like Zhao Yao, she is the most precious, how could she be willing to let her suffer like this, and go directly to the palace to question He Jue.The attitude is tough and cannot be refused. This appointment must be dismissed before it can be dismissed.

He Jue said helplessly: "There is no way to do this. There is no one available in the court. Qi Lezhi is capable of writing and martial arts, and he has fought with several generals. At this time, it is justified to be in command."

"You!" The eldest princess was furious, "Brother Jue, think about it for your aunt, if something happens to Qi Lezhi, if Ayao gets pregnant, it will be one dead body and two lives!"

"What?" He Jue only noticed now, "Ayao is pregnant?"

The eldest princess said coldly: "Your Majesty is sitting in the Xuanyi Department, and you have never found out about this bit of news?"

He Jue sighed, "Auntie, Xuanyi Division is not used to monitor the courtiers, Le Zhi and Qi Ge are both hiding it, how did I know? You have wronged me to death!"

The eldest princess treats He Jue with kindness, and He Jue is the most respectful towards this elder, and occasionally has a little bit of a junior nature.

"Then what do you say?" Seeing that He Jue's attitude softened, the Eldest Princess struck while the iron was hot, "In short, I don't agree with Qi Lezhi's expedition, so you can figure it out."

He Jue had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, then I will call Qi Lezhi over and talk to him."

An hour later, Qi Lezhi appeared in the Hall of Qinzheng, and He Jue told him what the eldest princess had said, "Lezhi, Ayao is in a special situation now, you..."

"The minister will talk about His Royal Highness Princess Chang." Qi Lezhi was very firm, "A man is determined to protect his family and the country, and A Yao understands me. It's just that Princess Chang is too worried. Please don't take back her orders."

He Jue looked at him quietly for a long time, "This time you are facing a wolf smoke cavalry, and the general Zhen Guo was not lucky."

"I understand, I have nothing to fear." Qi Lezhi's eyes shone brightly like stars.

Three days later, the new coach went out, and He Jue personally sent him out of the city.Looking into the distance, he seemed to feel that Qi Lezhi had also changed.
