My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

"You came just in time to take the time to deliver these medicines to Jiang Xiaoliu."

Su Yunwan put several medicine bottles in her hands on the table and asked Wu Shaohan to come forward and get them.

"I would like to thank Madam Jiang Xiaoliu." Wu Shaohan felt happy, bent down to express his thanks, and accepted the medicine bottle.

When taking the medicine, he restrained his gaze and did not glance at the paper manuscript on the table, but he thought to himself: I wonder what kind of surprise the madam will bring.

Su Yunwan stood up and put away the manuscript, "I'll go back to the back house to see the two little guys."

"I'll be there in a minute." Qin Junyi sent her out.

Then he walked back and when he passed by Wu Shaohan, he asked aloud: "What's the matter?"

Wu Shaohan said: "There are eighteen shadow guards graduating this year. They are expected to arrive in three days. Master, please take the time to come to the shadow guard camp to make a selection."

"I have enough manpower, but Wan Wan and the children..." Qin Junyi pondered for a moment and continued, "Bring them over when the time comes and have them inspected in the mansion."

Wu Shaohan responded and said: "One more thing, the recall and self-examination that was delayed last year has been completed. Now that the execution hall has been completed, can it be carried out in the near future?"

Qin Junyi looked at him in confusion: "Why did you suddenly mention this?"

Without waiting for Wu Shaohan to answer, he suddenly said: "Did Qingxuan say that?"

Wu Shaohan: "Yes."

After a few breaths of silence, Qin Junyi said: "Then just follow him."

"Yes, my subordinate will go down and make arrangements right now."

After Wu Shaohan left, Qin Junyi walked to the back house.

After just a few steps, he saw Su Yunwan leaning over the hanging flower door, listening to the hissing of the little silver snake on the ground.

Beside her, Shi Er wore a standard silver mask on his face and stood at a loss.

Just now, Shi Er, who was not on duty, was annoyed by the little silver snake and lost his temper, so he had to take it into the house. He happened to see Su Yunwan coming out of the study.

The little silver snake immediately slipped off his body and crawled towards Su Yunwan impatiently, hissing something in his mouth.

Su Yunwan adjusted her skirt and knelt down, listened carefully to Xiao Yin's words, and rewarded it with a few spiritual fruits.

Then, she stood up and looked at Shi Er, her eyebrows furrowed slightly and she said, "What happened to anger Qing Xuan?"

Shi Er was already familiar with the fact that she could communicate with Xiao Yin without any barriers. When she asked about it, he smiled sheepishly and said, "It was just a little misunderstanding. It has been resolved now."

"Be careful in the future." Su Yunwan always knew that Qingxuan was strict, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"Hiss, hiss..." While Xiaoyin was enjoying his meal, he listened to Su Yunwan's words with open ears. Seeing her put it down gently, he was immediately dissatisfied.

It placed the remaining fruit in the middle, raised its head and screamed non-stop, yelling for Su Yunwan to help Shi Er get revenge.

After hearing this, Su Yunwan bent down and stretched out her hand, nodded towards its head, and said with a smile: "Are you quite generous?"

"Hiss!" The little snake raised its head and swung its tail proudly.

Su Yunwan burst into laughter, Shi Er and Xiao Yin had a good rapport, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Wan Wan." Qin Junyi said and walked over.

Shi Er immediately put away his smile and bowed in salute.

Qin Junyi glanced at him, frowned and asked similar words to Su Yunwan just now: "What happened?"

Under normal circumstances, Qingxuan would not go overboard and punish his close shadow guards. Moreover, he never hit people in the face. Only when he got really angry would he lose control and raise his hand to hit someone.

Facing his master, Shi Er did not dare to prevaricate anymore and said nervously: "My subordinate proposed to recall the Shadow Guards at the end of the year, which will be exactly two years. My subordinate just doesn't want to start a big war this time. If he does it again just a few months later, it will definitely happen again." No escaping!"

Su Yunwan asked in confusion: "Why are you recalling the shadow guards?"

Shi Er glanced at Qin Junyi and replied secretly: "This is the rule of the Shadow Guard Camp. All Shadow Guards who leave the camp are called back once a year to report on their duties."

"Is it equivalent to an annual report?"

"Yes."

After listening to Shi Er's words, Su Yun seemed thoughtful.

This kind of work report is definitely not like the annual summary in the workplace in later generations, otherwise there would be no escape.

Perhaps, in the name of reporting on their duties, the leader recalled all Shadow Guards for additional training so that they could remain qualified Shadow Guards.

The content of the additional training will definitely be difficult, and you may even have to endure excruciating torture.

Thinking of this, Su Yunwan glanced at Shi Er and Wu Shaohan, who were hanging their heads and breathing, and said to Qin Junyi: "Since it is a duty report, there is no need for your close shadow guards to go back to the shadow guard camp to report on their daily duties. Their daily performance What, aren’t you seeing everything? Even if I have to report, it should be to you.”

As for how to ensure the loyalty of these people, Qin Junyi, as a general who has commanded an army of 100,000, will not fail to do this.

Wu Shaohan and Shi Er were shocked when they heard this. They stared at their master's gaze, their expressions as tense as walking on a tightrope at high altitude.

Qin Junyi withdrew his oppressive gaze and said with a gentle smile: "Wan Wan, what you said makes sense, so I'll do as you say."

After saying that, he changed the subject: "A group of shadow guards will graduate in a few days. How about allocating a few people to protect you and your children?"

"I don't need this. You just have to arrange for someone to protect the child." Su Yunwan knew that since the birth of his child, two shadow guards had been taking turns to secretly protect the child.

As the father of his child, Qin Junyi will think carefully.

The two of them returned to the back house hand in hand, and the little silver snake hurriedly chased after him. Suddenly, the snake's body lifted off the ground and jumped into the air.

Shi Er grabbed it back into his sleeve pocket, picked up the fruit on the ground, and took it away.

"Hiss!" The little silver snake rolled in the bag, and the snake was so angry!

*

The Qin family's Shadow Guard Camp in Youzhou was built in a huge cave on Qianshan Mountain.

Wu Shaohan opened the stone door and climbed up the stairs to the top floor.

On the edge of the top floor, Qingxuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the training going on in groups below. Beside him, Ling Qi stood quietly waiting for orders.

"Disciple has met the master." Wu Shaohan saluted.

Qingxuan turned around and raised his hand, "Have you asked Master for instructions?"

"Yes, the master agrees to initiate the recall, but has modified three recall rules. First, starting from this year, the recall time will be relaxed from the twelfth lunar month of the end of the year to the entire second half of the year. Second, those who have already been punished for their faults will be exempted from accountability. Thirdly, the master’s close bodyguards will no longer be recalled.”

The more Qingxuan listened, the darker his face became. In the end, he became frighteningly gloomy. He snorted coldly, "Is it the work of you and Shi Er?"

"My disciple doesn't dare, and it's not like he's making any further remarks." Wu Shaohan's posture was respectful and he spoke urgently.

Qingxuan looked sharply: "Who is that?"

If no one slanders, the master will never make so many changes.

Wu Shaohan was silent for a moment, knowing that he could not hide it, so he organized his speech and replied: "It was my wife who heard about the report back to the camp and expressed her doubts about the person who was reported to by the shadow guard."

Qingxuan stared at Wu Shaohan with strange eyes, and said for a long time: "Because of you?"

Wu Shaohan suddenly raised his head: "!!!"
