Shadow Guard Capture Manual

Dagan perished, and a new queen came to power.

The country was in chaos for a while, and the people lived their own lives.

At the beginning, many literati believed that women should not control the government, but gradually, such voices disappeared.

Occasionally, some common people whispered in private, full of taboo, "That empress was born in such a way, she has great means in this regard!"

"A place like that".

He Zhizhou used to be from "such a place" and even served as the leader there, but he messed up some things, so he was punished as he should.

But now, all of this has nothing to do with him.

He now lives in a small village at the foot of a mountain.

The war had just ended, and there were countless homeless people. Seeing that he was inconvenient to move, the people in the village even offered to help him build a hut next to him.

The house is not big, even a little shabby, but it is enough for people to live.

Most of the time, He Zhizhou was in the yard tending vegetables and fruits, and the days went on like this.

But at some point, a person came to the village.

Although He Zhizhou was blinded and abolished his martial arts, the vigilance in his bones at that moment would not change. He could feel the silent gaze of that person.

Is it an enemy?Or did you come by order?

He Zhizhou pursed his lips, he didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

If you want to come to take his life, then let him come.

But it's strange, seeing the days go by week after week, He Zhizhou is still alive and well, and that person is still looking at him, but the distance between him and him is getting closer and closer.

Several times, He Zhizhou could feel that he was only a few steps away from him, and even slowly, they came into contact.

The man sometimes filled a bucket of water for himself, and sometimes handed him things he accidentally dropped.

He Zhizhou also heard the old people in the village talk about this newcomer. They said that he was either rich or noble, that he was a celestial being, and that he was a noble person that the old women in the country had never seen in their entire lives.

But to He Zhizhou, he is just a first-class weirdo.

But after a long time, He Zhizhou got used to having such a person by his side, after all, it's nice to have someone to help you occasionally.

"Won't you feel bored doing this all the time?" Suddenly one day, the person who had been silent was no longer silent.

That was the first time He Zhizhou heard him speak, it was a very calm voice, but it was slightly hoarse when he spoke, as if he was carrying countless complex emotions.

The emotion was too complicated, He Zhizhou couldn't distinguish it at all, he just subconsciously looked in that direction.

"It doesn't matter what you don't want to say." The male voice said again.

"...not bored." He Zhizhou said.

There is nothing difficult to say about this, seeing that the other party has done him a few small favors before, He Zhizhou opened his mouth.

It's just that his throat was injured before, and when he opened his mouth, he felt his voice was dry and hoarse, and he couldn't even hear it.

"Don't frown..." This time, there was more of a sigh in that voice.

He Zhizhou was taken aback for a moment, and for some reason, following this sigh, he suddenly had a very sad feeling in his heart.

Such an attitude... Does he know himself?

He Zhizhou slowly searched for possible candidates in his mind.

But for so many years, he was either on a mission, or on the way to carry out the mission, and he never had any friends.The only companions from the shadow gate that I knew had died or got sick in these years, and they were long gone.

He Zhizhou didn't find the result, so he didn't bother to think about it anymore, he just kept bowing his head and doing his own thing silently.

The person on the opposite side looked more softly, and lowered his head to help him pick out the bad beans in the bamboo basket.

This feeling is very strange, but it does not make people feel disgusted.Over time, He Zhizhou also acquiesced to his existence.

But the uninvited guest finally came.

All those self-deceptions were torn apart, revealing the bloody and fierce inside.

He Zhizhou asked, "Is this country beautiful?"

"Beautiful." The visitor replied.

"Yes, I wish you happiness." He Zhizhou also twitched his lips.

The blessing is for the former junior sister, and the rejection is for the queen in front of her who can no longer see anything but power.

He Zhizhou suddenly felt that he understood He Weiming's betrayal back then, because in some things, as long as one step is wrong, there is no turning back.

Obviously, the blood was fierce and the pain pierced my heart, so I could only walk hopelessly step by step.

And the solution to all these pains is death.

The moon has risen to the sky.He bent down and fumbled to pick up the wooden bucket that had fallen all over the place, fetched water again, and meticulously watered the fruits and vegetables behind the house.Then step by step to the top of the mountain.

There is a small soil bag on the top of the mountain, and an unnamed monument is erected on it.

It was the monument of his former master.

There should be no one here, but He Zhizhou unexpectedly found that tolerant and soft gaze again.

"Why are you here?" He Zhizhou asked.

"Then why are you here?" the man asked back.

He Zhizhou suddenly smiled, it was the first time in so many months that he smiled so easily.

"I've come to atone," he said.

The man stood up from the ground, he approached slowly, and stood in front of He Zhizhou.The distance between the two of them was extremely close, so close that they were body to body.

"Atonement should choose the way the other party accepts, instead of talking to yourself, right?" There was some disapproval in that tone.

He Zhizhou smiled again, his pointed canine teeth half-hidden, with a hint of naughtiness.

"Okay, then I'll go down and ask him."

For the first time in the past few months, He Zhizhou showed such a vivid meaning.

A low laugh that could not help but spread from the hilltop, the man looked deeply at He Zhizhou, and suddenly sighed, "You... how can people bear to blame you?"

The man's hand held He Zhizhou's right hand which had been hidden in his sleeve.

He Zhizhou trembled slightly, he wanted to break free, but he didn't have the strength, so he could only passively accept it with a frown, waiting to see what the hell this guy was up to.

The man put He Zhizhou's hand on his chest.

There is a small seal with beautiful patterns on it, and in the center of the seal is a Chinese character of dancing dragons and phoenixes.

--"Dry".

That word is "dry".

This is the emperor's private seal that disappeared forever with the death of the last emperor in Daqian.

"You... who are you...?" He Zhizhou's face showed a little timidity for the first time.

"I'm here to collect debts from you." The man lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "My name is Zhao Yong. Of course, I hope you can call me Zhao Ruhui."

Before He Zhizhou could react, Zhao Ruhui hugged him up.

The person in his arms was a bit too thin, and when he hugged him, there were all bones from his hands.

The only thing is that he is very obedient, except for the initial stiffness, he dare not have any reaction, being so obedient makes people feel distressed.

Zhao Ruhui took the man back to the yard where he lived temporarily, put him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.

"Sleep, don't think about it." Zhao Ruhui said.

He Zhizhou closed his eyes subconsciously, but opened them again after a while. He no longer lost his composure just now, and just looked at Zhao Ruhui's direction with those empty corners of his eyes.

"Will you find out that all of this is a dream when you wake up?" He was a little confused.

Zhao Ruhui smiled lowly, "What should I do if I find out it's a dream? Do you want to run to the top of the mountain alone again?"

He Zhizhou didn't speak again this time.

"Hey," Zhao Ruhui sighed lowly, "Go to sleep, this is not a dream, and Gu is still waiting for Chief He's 'atonement'."

There was a soft bed under her body, and the warm inner force gently soothed the necrotic meridians.

How long has it been since you felt this way?He Zhizhou couldn't remember, but he was very heartwarming and comfortable.

For the first time in years, he slept so soundly.

When he woke up again, he could smell the strong smell of medicine next to him.

"Finally woke up? You have been asleep for two days." Zhao Ruhui sat next to him and reached out to touch his forehead. "The fever is almost gone, but just to be safe, let's drink the medicine."

The warm soup was handed to his mouth, and He Zhizhou didn't hesitate, he lowered his head and drank the soup in the bowl.

Zhao Ruhui said, "I'll ask you a doctor to take a look at your injuries."

But He Zhizhou shook his head slightly, and said flatly, "No, it's meaningless."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhao Ruhui with some strangeness, "What exactly do you want?"

"I don't want to do anything," Zhao Ruhui smiled, "I'm just bored, and I want to find someone to grow vegetables and water flowers with me. He Zhizhou, you live in the same way as you did in the village before. Take me and you will be happy." alright."

So He Zhizhou really stayed, and they played with fruits and vegetables, and tended flowers and plants together.

At the beginning, He Zhizhou couldn't help being puzzled and dazed, but gradually he stopped thinking about it.

They spent the midsummer and the end of autumn together.

They seldom have any entertainment activities, and even seldom talk as before, but when the two of them are together, life passes faster than ever.

It's just that the weather is getting colder and colder, and when the rainy days come, some wounds on He Zhizhou's body will become more itchy, and it is inevitable that he can't sleep well.

At the beginning, He Zhizhou subconsciously opened his eyes to let go of his thoughts, but at some point, the people behind him came up and hugged his waist.

All the process is silent, only the warm inner force silently expresses all the thoughts.

As the sky was getting brighter, Zhao Ruhui leaned into He Zhizhou's ear and asked him again, "Can I get you a doctor?"

He Zhizhou was silent for a long time again.

Zhao Ruhui didn't ask him any more, touched his cold hand, and went out to fetch a basin of hot water.

After the two of them washed comfortably, they heated up their meals again.

In the middle of the meal, He Zhizhou suddenly stopped his chopsticks, his empty eyes met Zhao Ruhui's, and then he opened his mouth in a low voice.

"it is good."

……

……

In the middle of the night, He Zhizhou woke up suddenly, tears drenched his entire face.

"Zhao Ruhui, I seem to have had a nightmare."

He couldn't remember what he dreamed just now, but he just felt very sad, that kind of sadness and hopelessness seemed like a huge mountain, crushing his whole body.

The person next to him got up and looked at him with some inexplicable complex emotions, but in the end, he didn't say anything, but just raised his hand to wipe away tears for the rare and fragile He Zhizhou.

"It was just a nightmare," he said.

"But I'm still sad, sad, cold, and... hurt."

He Zhizhou didn't know where his emotions came from, but subconsciously told his most trusted person in a confused and hesitant manner.

"Then cry out, cry out to me, He Zhizhou, you have to remember, I will always be your support."

Zhao Ruhui hugged him tightly, then kissed him lightly, from the center of the eyebrows to the corners of the mouth, kissing her treasure with respect and pity.

In fact, being able to cry is really not a bad thing.

The author has something to say: a gentle and plain redemption, dedicated to Mr. He who suffered all kinds of setbacks in his previous life.
