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

Lou Jingyu ignored the quarrel between Duan Chunhui and Lian Jue, took off the black cloak that Ying Shiyi was wearing and gave it to the maid, then pulled her to sit at the dining table.

He arranged some food for Ying Shiyi and asked him to eat more. Of course, the meals he had in the inns and restaurants on the road were not as good as those he had in his own mansion in the capital.

After the meal, he asked Lian Jue to arrange for everyone to rest, and he took Ying Shiyi to their yard.

The bedroom here is not as big as the one in Canglan Palace, but it is dry and warm.

However, the smell of the incense burning in the room was too strong. Lou Jingyu didn't like it, so he asked the servants to replace it with his usual incense burner, Snow Spring Letter.

Lou Jingyu took off his outer robe and took Ying Shiyi to the bed to rest.

"Rest for a while. I'll discuss business tomorrow. I'll just stay with you today. Go to sleep."

Ying Shiyi ate some food and felt a little sleepy in the afternoon. He snuggled in Lou Jingyu's arms, clutching his sleeves, and fell asleep in a short while.

The atmosphere in the room was peaceful and calm, but the situation in the capital was stirred up again because of their arrival.

The storms have already begun.

----

Ying Qi and Ying Ba were secretly investigating outside the Ji family mansion at this time.

Ever since Ji Feng and Ji Wan were thrown back to the Ji family with their tendons broken, announcing the breakdown of the cooperation between the Ji family and the Chiyang Sect, the two have been searching for the whereabouts of the Ji family in the capital.

From May till now, it has been nearly five months if I count carefully.

Yingqi held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and sat at the base of the high wall outside the Ji family's house.

Alas, he could already call out the name of everyone in the Ji family.

Yingba arranged the shadow guards on duty nearby and came over to pull the dogtail grass out of his mouth.

"Be more serious."

Ying Qi's head was pulled forward, and he was caught off guard.

He said angrily, "What's wrong with me?"

Yingba rolled his eyes and didn't want to say more. He took out the letterhead used by the shadow guards for communication from his arms and handed it to him.

"The master and his men have already arrived in the capital today. Ying Er, Ying Wu, and Ying Liu will come to take over from us in a while. You and I will go with us to report to the master."

Ying Qi stood up suddenly, obviously not expecting that Lou Jingyu would arrive earlier than expected.

"Master, are you here for the Ji family's affairs?"

The two of them observed the movements of the Ji family members every day, and naturally knew that Ji Feng and Ji Wan had been resentful ever since they returned to the Ji family. Because they were punished in the Chiyang Church Punishment Hall and became disabled, they had been trying to take revenge.

Having been spoiled since childhood and feeling superior to others, he naturally couldn't stand this kind of gap.

However, the head of the Ji family also knew that there was a huge gap in strength between them and the Chiyang Sect, so they did not dare to confront them head-on. Seeing that their plan was blatantly exposed, they shamelessly discussed with Tan Qing and sent people to the Chiyang Sect to seek peace.

Unexpectedly, Lou Jingyu ruthlessly drove him back.

Despite this, they still cannot recognize their own identity. After losing the Chiyang Sect, the Ji family is just like other ministers in the court. They still think they are indestructible.

It was not until Tan Qing was expelled from the Chiyang Sect that the Ji family became truly afraid and realized that Lou Jingyu would never let them go.

So he had to plan how to preserve himself and his existing wealth and glory.

He had previously conspired with Tan Qing to do something big, but when he saw Tan Qing being thrown at the door of his house, he vented all his hatred and anger on him.

In the end, Tan Qing's body was thrown directly into a mass grave.

The evil ones kill each other like jackals fighting each other. There is no bond of interests between them and they can turn against each other at any time. Their methods are also cruel enough.

When Ying Qi and Ying Ba went to investigate Tan Qing's body, they both felt that the Ji family was too arrogant. They dared to use such punishment in private in a private residence in Beijing. They really had no self-awareness.

The two of them immediately wrote back to the church, which was another good crime to bring down the Ji family.

The court is different from the underworld. These ministers still have to follow the court laws on the surface.

To act on impulse like this is to seek one's own death.

Ying Qi thought about this and uttered a "tsk". He had been watching the Ji family coming and going all day long, and was deeply involved in the struggle for succession. He felt that everyone in this huge mansion was blinded by power and interests. No wonder they would bring about their own destruction.

Especially the patriarch of the Ji family, after all, he is the old leader's brother, but compared with the old leader, the difference is obvious.

The head of the Ji family lived in fear for some days. Later, he found out that the Chiyang Sect did not do anything other than severing the cooperation between them. He thought that Lord Lou Jingyu was forgiving and letting them go because of the involvement of the previous generation.

Afterwards, he continued to live his life as carefree as before.

Little did they know that it only made them jump for a while.

Yingqi has seen shameless people, but he has never seen anyone so shameless.

How could the Chiyang Sect let go of such an ambitious person?

The Chiyang Sect would not provoke others for no reason, but if others dared to provoke them even a little, the Chiyang Sect would definitely retaliate tenfold.

"It's not just for this matter. The master leads the Chiyang Sect and has to consider everything carefully. Naturally, he has his considerations. You and I just have to obey his orders." Yingba replied.

Ying Qi nodded, "Should we block the news of the master coming to Beijing?"

Yingba shook his head, "You know, the master never cares about these things. I haven't seen many people who don't have eyes over the years. Besides, if there are really people who are interested in asking, the news can't be concealed. The master means don't worry about it."

Ying Qi felt relieved and explored the surrounding area with him again before going to hand over to Ying Er and the others.

Not long after Ying Qi left, those shameless members of the Ji family he mentioned received the news that Lou Jingyu had arrived in Beijing.

The entire Ji family seemed to have been shaken by an earthquake, and everyone was in panic.

Ji Zhongli, the head of the Ji family, paced in the front hall with his hands behind his back, and summoned his staff to discuss the matter, as if he was afraid that Lou Jingyu would take action against the Ji family at the next moment.

When Ji Feng, who was in a wheelchair, heard the news, his eyes flashed and he quietly retreated from the hall.

He clenched his fists, but it didn't last long before he loosened them.

Although his hand tendons were reconnected after he returned, he still couldn't use any strength. His legs and feet were not healed and he still uses a wheelchair.

This is all thanks to Lou Jingyu, Ji Feng thought angrily.

He has always wanted to retaliate, but was stopped by his father because of the strong strength of the Chiyang Sect. But now Lou Jingyu has come to the capital, and the capital is their territory.

If you can't match your strength, you can always use some other strategies...

He went to Ji Wan's room and told her about this matter, and the brother and sister agreed with each other.

"And that shadow guard!" Ji Wan sat on the bed. Her tendons in her hands and feet were not reconnected, so she could only stay in the room all day and be served by servants.

She was so afraid of pain that she couldn't bear it when her tendons were being reconnected. She lost her temper and smashed several doctors' heads with bottles.

Later, Ji Zhongli lost his patience and asked the doctor to leave.

"Brother, Lou Jingyu is here, and that shadow guard must be following him too. Capture that shadow guard as well. I want to vent my anger!"

Ji Wan's beautiful face was instantly distorted by jealousy, and she vented all her anger on an irrelevant person.

She didn't get what she wanted that time, so this time she decided to get the person into her own hands.

Just a lowly shadow guard!

There is nothing she has not gotten in her life, but now that she is in this state, her twisted mentality makes her want it even more.

Ji Feng thought of Ying Shiyi's face, his eyes gradually became greedy, and he nodded.
