After rebirth, the leader only wants to be with the shadow guard

Although Kyoto is prosperous, Ying Shiyi feels very unfamiliar with it. This is probably because he has never been to Kyoto in previous missions. The customs and culture here are very different from other places.

He couldn't help but miss the beautiful scenery of the Chiyang Sect that he could see when he looked up.

In his heart, no place is worse than home.

Thinking of this, she shrank back into Lou Jingyu's arms.

But as long as the master is around, it doesn't matter where we go.

As long as he is with Lou Jingyu, he feels at ease.

Lou Jingyu lifted his cloak and put his arm around his shoulders.

Suddenly he remembered that on the way to Dajue Temple before, Ying Shiyi would not take the initiative to approach him and was always restrained and cautious.

But now she would actively snuggle into his arms.

Quite a big improvement.

Thinking of this, I felt very relieved. I hugged him tightly, and looked at him with eyes full of heartache.

We have been on the road for so many days except for resting at night and eating three meals. Although we are on the official road, it is still bumpy. It is really hard.

"We'll be there soon, go and rest when you get off."

He said as he gently stroked Ying Shiyi's arm.

Ying Shiyi nodded. Actually, he didn't feel that tired. It was just that the journey made him a little tired.

This is different from the previous missions.

In the past, when I went on missions to the north or south, I had to ride fast horses day and night. Only after the mission was completed and I relaxed did I feel the belated exhaustion.

Now he was taking his time, resting in the inn at night and traveling during the day. He was just a little sleepy.

But now that he was in the capital, he became energetic again and would lift the curtain to look at the scenery on both sides.

The carriages passed through the streets and alleys and drove onto the wider avenue. The road surface was flat, the noise gradually faded away, and it became much quieter everywhere.

It is far away from the downtown area, surrounded by huge high-walled houses with strict rules. There are very few people coming and going, most of whom are family members and servants of the surrounding residents.

Lou Jingyu stays here most of the time when he comes to Beijing. The surrounding area is relatively quiet, with only a few households on one street.

"Master, we're here."

The carriage stopped in front of the vermilion gate. Lian Jue got off the horse and went to the front of the carriage to report.

Lou Jingyu lifted the curtain and got out of the car first, then reached out to help Ying Shiyi down.

He actually wanted to pick Eleven up from the car directly, but because there were too many people present, he was afraid that Eleven would be shy, so he could only reach out to help him.

Ying Shiyi placed his hand on his palm and jumped down in one step.

The young man is indeed very skilled.

Lou Jingyu laughed, took his hand and walked forward a few steps, his wide sleeves well concealing the movement of their intertwined fingers.

Duan Chunhui also got off the carriage and followed them with Lian Jue. The accompanying guards began to load and unload the luggage.

There were already quite a few people waiting in front of the door. They were all servants who had been guarding the mansion all year round. There were not many of them originally, but they hired some more people to serve them because they came to the capital.

Steward Li, who was at the city gate to welcome them into the capital, knew that they were coming and had already ordered people to clean the mansion thoroughly.

Manager Li is the head of the branch in charge of the capital's industries. He is nearly forty years old and is smart and capable. He is the one who comes to receive Lou Jingyu every time he comes to the capital. He is quite familiar with Lian Jue and Duan Chunhui.

It's just that he had never seen Ying Shiyi beside Lou Jingyu before, and he couldn't help being surprised to see the usually cold and aloof leader helping someone out of the carriage so carefully.

Who is this person?

I couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

When she raised her eyes, she met Lou Jingyu's cold gaze. She quickly lowered her head and bowed to him to apologize.

"Master, I am sorry for my rudeness," he said.

Lou Jingyu had been in charge of the Chiyang Sect's industries since he was young. He traveled all over the country and was resolute and decisive. Naturally, those who worked in the branches were convinced and did not dare to make any irresponsible remarks.

Now, being looked at by his cold gaze, I was indeed frightened.

Lou Jingyu didn't answer, but held Ying Shiyi's hand tightly, his voice sounding a little cold.

"This is the Lord of the Red Sun Sect. You should treat him as if he were me. Do not be rude to him."

He was speaking to everyone present.

These people had been outside the sect for a long time and had seen him only a few times, so naturally they would not know Ying Eleven.

Introducing him now will prevent some people from being unaware of Eleven's identity and offending him.

Ying Shiyi listened to this, and her heart seemed to be immersed in hot water, gurgling and bubbling, and she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.

Manager Li is in charge of the capital's industries. He is very smart, but at this moment he was stunned, as if he couldn't react.

It took Lian Jue two coughs to pull him back from his trance, and he quickly bowed and said, "Yes, I will remember it."

He just thought that the young man was the leader's favorite servant. After all, he was a man and would not think in that direction.

Men falling in love is appalling and rare in the world.

Although there are women in Beijing who like to have romantic affairs with men, it is not something that can be made public. The powerful and wealthy just keep them as playthings.

He didn't expect that the person next to the leader was the master of the Chiyang Sect. He was sweating coldly.

The leader doesn't like beautiful women, but men...

This man is not as delicate and gentle as the beautiful lady.

But then he thought again, isn't that what His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and the girl in his mansion are like? They would rather risk the whole world's disapproval than not want to be together. Everyone in the capital knows about this.

It's just that vulgar people like him don't understand.

Since this is the master, I must serve him carefully. Seeing that the master cherishes him so much, I, as a servant, should cherish my life. Fortunately, I didn't say much just now.

Not daring to think any more, he hurriedly followed to serve and led people towards the mansion.

The mansion is grand and majestic, which is the traditional style of the powerful families in the capital, and is very different from the Chiyang Sect.

The hanging flower arches are combined with corridors, one after another.

Walking under the corridor, you can see that the scenery in the courtyard is very neat and orderly. Every blade of grass and every tree is full of vitality. They are varieties specially planted in autumn and winter.

The courtyards are staggered and the arches are spaced very neatly.

The housekeeper of the mansion explained in detail to Lou Jingyu and his party the changes in the mansion in recent years, so that they would not be unfamiliar with it, and invited them to sit in the hall and have tea.

Having just arrived in Beijing today, Lou Jingyu did not want to discuss official business right away. He was tired from the journey and there was nothing important for the time being.

The food on the table was all piping hot, with some Beijing specialties, and it tasted fresh.

Although Duan Chunhui rode in a horse-drawn carriage like Lou Jingyu and the others, the carriage was bumpy and it became stuffy after sitting for a long time. What's more, he was not very good at riding a horse, so his legs would hurt after riding for a long time, and he couldn't go out for fresh air often.

It was very boring along the way. I would occasionally chat with Lian Jue. Apart from that, I just ate, drank and slept. My appetite was very poor now.

Now that we have finally arrived, I feel a little relieved.

I gave myself two injections and my appetite improved.

"Would you like a shot?" he asked Lian Jue.

Lian Jue forced a laugh, quickly put away his needle, and handed him a bowl of soup.

He was really afraid of Duan Chunhui's needles. He had been hurt enough by them when he was treated for injuries before.
