Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

The news that Sun Yu was returning to Beijing was quite a shock to Xu Huaiyi. This was much more difficult than dealing with the Zhu and Xiao families.

No matter how turbulent his heart was, when facing Prime Minister Sun, he could only show surprise and excitement. After all, he was his own master. He endured the loneliness of being unable to reunite with his wife and children and stationed at the desolate border for five years. How could he not be happy for him?

When he got home, he no longer needed to pretend in front of his wife. Xu Huaiyi cursed Emperor Yongping, "You're still an emperor? Bah, your mind is smaller than a woman's. Doesn't he know who I am?"

It's been so many years, isn't it enough for him to understand?

No matter how suspicious he is, with Han Jun staying in our house, what can he not know?

Why are you still so cautious?

What a mean mind!

If I really wanted to rebel, why did I go to all the trouble to escort him back to the capital? I should have just let him die in the hands of the King of Chu.

Now you want to use your master to control and suppress me. Haha, you think I will compromise, right? Damn it, what the hell!

If you really piss me off, I will kill him, not to mention my master. If you don’t let me have a good life, then no one will be able to have a good life. I might as well overturn the table…”

Gu Huanxi watched him scolding for a quarter of an hour without stopping, then he picked up the cup to drink tea with a dry mouth and complained speechlessly, "Have you scolded enough? Do you feel relieved? For such a person, do you have to do this?"

Xu Huaiyi exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the depression in his heart was finally relieved. "Why is it not the case? I am so disappointed! Whose kingdom is Dayong? It belongs to their Yuan family. For Dayong, it is not an exaggeration to say that I have sacrificed my life and blood, right? It is true that I have given up a fortune, right?

Even when I was guarding the imperial palace, I worked diligently and never slacked off. How could he not see my efforts?

I have done all this, isn't it enough to prove my loyalty?

He asked Han Jun to keep an eye on our family, but I didn't say anything. He should know whether I have any rebellious intentions or not. How could he let the master come back to deal with me?

He’s forcing me...”

Compared to his excitement, Gu Huanxi's reaction was much calmer. "Emperors are all like this. Otherwise, why are they called lonely people? Once you sit on that throne, there is no one around you that you can really trust. He is not only on guard against you, but also against others. Isn't he gradually distancing himself from Han Jun?

And Xiaoyu, he is his own son, he has to be wary of having his power divided, let alone others, just get used to it, it's no big deal."

Xu Huaiyi said gloomily, "I also want to let it go, but what should I do when Master comes back?"

Gu Huanxi asked, "Do you think Master Sun will take action against you?"

Xu Huaiyi's expression darkened. After a moment's silence, he said in a low voice, "If Emperor Yongping ordered him, he would obey even if he didn't want to."

By then, where will the relationship between master and apprentice be?

This is going to make them turn against each other!

The most important thing is that outsiders will not say much when Sun Yu deals with him, but if he dares to fight back, secular ethics will criticize him as worthless in minutes.

Then the good reputation, people's hearts, prestige, and status that he had earned at the cost of his life and wealth will all be questioned or even destroyed.

It must be said that Emperor Yongping's move hit his weak spot, it was really vicious.

Gu Huanxi frowned and thought, "Prime Minister Sun reminded you in advance because he probably didn't want you and your disciple to have any chance of a breakup, so he urged you to prepare. I think Master Sun will also think of a way to avoid that."

Xu Huaiyi said irritably, "How can we avoid it? The imperial order cannot be disobeyed. We can disrespect the imperial power, but the master is a pure old friend, and he has a large family behind him. He certainly dares not and cannot disobey the imperial order.

Even if he finds an excuse to refuse the job, I always suspect that his identity is not simple, and he has another identity behind the scenes, just like a shadow guard. Once he is chosen, he can't get away with it unless he dies."

Gu Huanxi rubbed his forehead, "This is indeed a question, how much do you know about the Shadow Guard?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "I have investigated a little bit over the years, and it turns out that the original intention of the Shadow Guard was to be a life-saving talisman left by the founding emperor to future generations. The Jinyi Guard is in the open, and the Shadow Guard is in the dark. The two complement each other and do things for the emperor that cannot be shown on the stage.

Especially the Shadow Guards, it is said that they are divided into four groups. The Azure Dragon Guards are the best, each of them is as capable as a hundred people, and they are always guarding the emperor. They are usually invisible and only appear at critical moments. There are not many of them, so they are used as trump cards..."

"Wait!" Gu Huanxi interrupted him, "Five years ago, you went to the palace and set fire and played tricks, scaring Emperor Jianxing to death. Where are the Azure Dragon Guards? Didn't they show up?"

Xu Huaiyi blinked, "I was just playing around at the time and didn't notice it. I think it appeared. There seemed to be several people kneeling in front of Emperor Jianxing's dragon bed. Apart from the personal eunuch who served him, the rest must be the Azure Dragon Guards, right?

If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about it. Good fellow, if I had known this, I should have tested their skills at that time. I wasted this good opportunity..."

Gu Huanxi glared at him, "Do you think you can beat him?"

Don’t you have any idea of ​​your own level?

Xu Huaiyi smiled awkwardly and said, "If you can't beat them, just run away. It's not easy to see them normally."

"Shut up. When the time comes for the Azure Dragon Guards to show up, what kind of bloody scene do you think it will be?"

"Force the emperor to abdicate?"

Gu Huanxi snorted, "It's good that you know it, don't think about these useless things."

Xu Huaiyi touched his nose in dismay and continued to talk about the Shadow Guards. "In addition to the Azure Dragon Guards, there are also the White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise Guards, who are responsible for assassination, interrogation, and intelligence, respectively. I suspect that the master is a Black Tortoise Guard."

Gu Huanxi was slightly startled, "Specializing in intelligence gathering?"

Xu Huaiyi said with a complicated expression, "Not only that, in organizations like Shadow Guard, the people in it are trained since childhood, just like training death squads, and they select orphans without parents, except for Xuanwu Guard. I guess that the people recruited by Xuanwu Guard should all have names and families to rely on..."

Gu Huanxi's expression changed, and he understood the deep meaning of his words, "Good fellow, this is even more powerful than a secret agent."

Xu Huaiyi nodded and sighed, "The identities of secret agents cannot be seen in public, so they have to be sneaky if they want to investigate anything. But the Xuanwu Guards all have an identity that they can show off, and their official positions and status are not very low. Their colleagues and even their relatives and friends will not be too defensive against them, so it is too easy to ask them something!

The worst thing is that they act as the emperor's eyes, monitoring everyone in the court, but the court officials don't know who the Xuanwu Guards are around them."

"If this were in a spy drama, it would be a high-level spy who infiltrated the enemy camp..." Gu Huanxi said with a wry smile, "The founding emperor is indeed a senior. He must have watched a lot of spy dramas before traveling through time."

Xu Huaiyi sighed in frustration, "Why did you choose Master?"

Gu Huanxi also felt that this matter was a big problem. "Strike first to gain the upper hand?"

Xu Huaiyi froze for a moment, then shook his head, "No, I can't do it. After all, we are master and disciple. If he doesn't do it, I can't bear to turn against him."

"Then wait for him to test you. Anyway, we have no intention of rebelling. Perhaps, this is still a chance to prove our innocence..." Master Gu Huanxi couldn't think of a good way to deal with it. "Let's take it one step at a time. There will always be a way out. If your master cares about the relationship between you and him, he will definitely not sit still and wait for death. Perhaps he has some tricks to crack it."

"Oh, I hope so."

Didn't he have any? He could come up with several ideas in a matter of minutes, but all of them would hurt Sun Yu. Even if it was a self-torture trick, he, as an apprentice, couldn't speak first.

It all depends on whether the master and the disciple have a tacit understanding.
