Tyrant's "stand-in" shadow guard

Maybe it was frightened before, but after hearing the emperor's words, Ying Qi didn't feel much frightened anymore.

These days, after hearing more about the third prince of Southern Chu, he understands what Ying Yiying Liu said more and more. It is probably because his figure is similar to the third prince that His Majesty "loves the house and the black" so much.

Ying Qi raised his head to look at the emperor sitting on the main seat. He was dressed in purple robes and was handsome. Even though he was sitting casually like this, he still had a majestic and stern aura, which made people dare not take a second look.

If it wasn't for being so close, Ying Qi wouldn't know that under the majestic and cold aura of the emperor, there was such a meandering appearance hidden, with charming eyebrows and a face like a divine painting.

It is completely different from the portrait of the major general who stands upright with his sword upright, clear and upright, but it is just as memorable.

Ying Qi's finger holding the chopsticks was slightly forceful. From the very beginning of memory, he was tried by all means to instill in him the thought of being loyal to the emperor and protecting the emperor. He didn't know his name, where he came from, and where he came from However, during the days when he was recuperating in Zhunti Palace, he wrote down everything about the emperor bit by bit.

The six guards of the inner court told him that he was the Shadow Seven, a shadow guard who served the emperor and carried the sword for the emperor.

In his short memory, there is only the king on the throne.

That is the person he will devote his whole life to, the point of the sword in his hand, and the direction of his heart.

"Shadow Seven is serving His Majesty, and he should take care of His Majesty's worries."

The black eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the young shadow guard with a tense heartstrings didn't know how agile and attractive those pure eyes like the night sky were on his ordinary face.

So much so that Li Xingjin almost had an illusion, as if that person had cared about him like this before, instead of always focusing on the long sword in his hand and the battlefield of killing.

But he knew it was just his own illusion.

He was also taught by the world-renowned erudite emperor teacher, and he was blamed for his stubbornness, but that person regarded the emperor's teacher as his standard, and the people in the world, the people of the common people, did not bother him, and they all ranked ahead of him .

That was the god of war that Bai Zhou had admired.

He couldn't hold God's heart, because that heart was completely transparent like water, and he tried his best to dye it with his own color, but it was all in vain.

But now the god has fallen into the mortal world, lost his memory and was sent to him. In those eyes that are not stained by a trace of dust, only his figure is engraved.

Resisting the urge to kiss her fiercely, Li Xingjin looked at the simple and ignorant Ying Qi, knowing that he didn't understand and didn't need him to understand.Stretching out his hand to caress the unhealed scar on Shangying Qi's left face, Li Xingjin murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "Aqi, I gave you a chance, but that was the only time."

Now, he is the shadow guard, and he is his only king.

He will have a lot of time in the future to teach him little by little those mortal thoughts that this person has never understood.

Xiao Shangao’s memorial finally came up with something new this day. Li Xingjin looked at the memorial about the embezzlement of sea salt in the grain and salary presented by the border guard general through the mighty general, and his eyes were finally filled with anger, and he beckoned for Eunuch Li , Said: "I pass on my oral order, and tomorrow I invite the mighty general to come to the hall and enjoy the apricot forest together."

As long as Southern Chu does not come and surrender, the frontier pass Huangkou cannot be relaxed.

However, Huangkou is located inland, and is farthest from the provinces of Qinghu, the largest salt-producing area in the country. Salt transportation has always been a problem. Usually, it is transported to the border through layers of provinces. However, exploitation of each province occurs from time to time. , transported layer by layer, and finally less than half of the sea salt reached the border.

Li Xingjin knew in his heart that not only Huangkou, but also the rest of the inland areas!In the past, they were able to live in peace by whitewashing the peace, but now in a battle against the enemy, this corrupt atmosphere can no longer be concealed!

Li Xingjin took a deep breath. He has been on the throne for two years, the imperial power has been gathered extremely quickly, and the disadvantages are also obvious. In the deep palace, there is no one who can be trusted, and his eyes are covered by layers of white mist. , but false prosperity.

But if some people think that he is really stupid because of this, they will be disappointed.

What the steward said was correct, the emperor came to Yulin Hall early in the morning, and then returned after sitting down. Ying Qi endured the faint pain in his stomach, and wanted to keep guarding the gate of the hall, but was "invited" in by the expressionless palace maid. Helpless, he had no choice but to enter the front hall of the palace. Just when he finally couldn't bear the silence of doing nothing, the imperial physician came from outside the palace.

The white-haired imperial doctor claimed that he was ordered by the emperor to treat his wounds. When Ying Qi heard it, he thought it was his own face wound, so he couldn't help touching it.

After the strange day, the wound on his face has gradually healed. Although it has not completely healed, it is not as scary as it looked at the beginning.

He didn't care whether his appearance was damaged or not, but the emperor specially invited the imperial physician to pay attention to the injuries on his face several times before, presumably because he thought the injuries on his face were quite an eyesore.

So Yingqi did not reject the imperial physician's kindness.

The gray-haired old imperial physician surnamed Ge has worked in the imperial hospital for many years and has reached the age of resignation. Because of the relationship with the emperor's teacher in the early years, he practiced in the Valley of Miraculous Doctors for a period of time, and his medical skills are quite impressive. It was a bit authentic, so it was kept by the emperor as a royal use.

He stepped into the Yulin Palace, and seeing Ying Qi's upright figure, he was secretly startled, his heart was indeed similar to that of the former major general, no wonder the emperor attached so much importance to it.

"Master Wei Qi."

"Don't dare to take it." Ying Qi hurriedly said, hesitated for a while, concealed the strangeness on his face, and only said that he had been delaying because he didn't apply the medicine properly.

Imperial Physician Ge persuaded: "Your body is hairy and skinny, it's your parents, Master Wei Qi, don't take it lightly."

Shadow Seven was silent for a moment.

Even though he told himself again and again that he didn't need to care about the past, he still couldn't stop exploring in his heart. When he heard from the crowd that he was an orphan, he felt a little sad in a trance, and there were afterimages in his heart. Although he couldn't see clearly, he felt sad. Feelings are gurgling, as if something important has been lost.

Physician Ge also noticed his silence and didn't try to persuade him any more. Seeing that the wound on Ying Qi's face had started to heal slowly, he didn't pay any more attention. He mainly followed His Majesty's instructions to check Ying Qi's physical condition and give this man alone. Make some adjustments.

After staying in the palace for a long time, the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital are used to taking the pulse first, asking, and then looking and smelling.

When it came to Ying Qi, Imperial Physician Ge still carefully chose to take the pulse first.

Ying Qi stretched out his hand according to his instructions, but saw that Imperial Physician Ge frowned with the same snow-white eyebrows, and sighed: "Master Wei Qi, since the wounds on his body have not fully healed, we should pay more attention to oily and meaty food."

Ying Qi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that the imperial doctor would be able to approve him even if he only ate a little.

Doctor Ge saw the surprise on his face, glanced at him, seemed a little strange, and said: "My lord, don't you feel something strange in your stomach?"

"...A little bit."

He didn't know why, although he resisted the sauce, he seemed to be used to the pain, and after he endured it, he didn't feel anything.

Doctor Ge shook his head from the bottom of his heart, really a real person can't be judged by his appearance, judging by Xiao Wei's thin and tall figure, he still thinks he's not good at meat, he didn't expect to be crazier than ordinary people, he had to satisfy his tongue even though he endured a stomachache desire.

As a doctor, those disobedient patients with headaches are the most troublesome. Doctor Ge does not show it on the face, but in his heart he is ready to prescribe some mild and harmless emetics for the patient. I will think about those greasy things that hurt my body again.

In the end, he wanted to see the shadow guard's injuries.

Before Ying Qi could take off his outer shirt, he saw a figure flashing in the front hall: "Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Ge turned around and kowtowed: "See Your Majesty."

"Get up." Li Xingjin asked, "Did you get hurt after watching it?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I took the pulse." Imperial Physician Ge said cautiously.

Li Xingjin swung his sleeves, sat aside, and said calmly, "How?"

Doctor Ge was about to reply when his sleeve was pulled by the hand on the soft couch, and he paused.

While hesitating, Ying Qi robbed him of his words: "Your subordinate is fine, as long as your face is hurt and you just keep applying the medicine."

Li Xingjin gave a warm "hmm", then turned to look at Imperial Physician Ge, raised his eyes and asked, "How is it?"

Tai Physician Ge was terrified by the emperor's look, and hurriedly said: "Master Wei Qi is in good health and there is no serious problem, but his stomach is a little fragile, it is better to eat less oil and meat."

After he finished speaking, he found that the aura of the emperor's whole body became colder, and his temples were slowly drenched with sweat.

Ying Qi also felt a chill all over his body, and his heart felt weak.

After Grand Physician Ge trembling out of the Yulin Hall with a face full of cold sweat, leaving him facing the emperor alone, Ying Qi squeezed her little finger quietly.

Li Xingjin glanced at him for a small gesture, turned his gaze away, and told the palace servant: "Go to decoct the medicine."

The two maidservants saluted and hurriedly retreated.

When a hand was stretched out to him, Ying Qi subconsciously wanted to hide, but held back.

Then he had to grab that hand in the next second, his eyes widened: "Your Majesty!"

"What are you?" Li Xingjin supported his hand to open his belt, untied his clothes with a cold face, and slapped his buttocks: "Lie down."

"His Majesty……"

Li Xingjin's eyes were rounded by him, and he looked at him with a dreamy expression and smiled: "Why, is Ying Qi disobedient?"

Whether it was before or after he lost his memory, he could always easily find the person's death spot.

The difference is that in the past, he was so worried that he had to make excuses even for sending a jade pendant, but now he won't bear it anymore.

Li Xingjin rubbed his fingers that were a little numb from the elastic touch, seeing the person lying down obediently, his clothes half untied, his Adam's apple twitched, he almost forgot his original intention.

Taking a deep breath, he finally noticed the half-exposed red string around Ying Qi's neck, picked it up casually, and said calmly, "What are you wearing?"

Before the red rope was pulled out, the hand was held, and the person on the soft couch tensed up: "Your Majesty, it's nothing..."

Ying Qi never expected that things would develop like this, and he panicked.

If the jade pendant is asked to be seen by the emperor, Ying [-] and Ying [-] will probably be imprisoned.

He put the jade pendant around his neck. Firstly, he felt that it was not safe to put it in the barracks. Unclear regret.

However, he never thought that he would be "searched" on the first day of his employment, and he would be searched by the emperor who established this rule.

With him like this, Li Xingjin raised his eyebrows, the more he wanted to see what he was wearing around his neck.

Shadow Seven was powerless to stop him.

Li Xingjin saw the jade pendant as he wished.

It was a shock.

Ying Qi turned over and knelt down speechlessly, Li Xingjin did not stop her.

He stared at the jade pendant for a long time, as if he wanted to see some distant past through it, as well as the joys and sorrows hidden in those pasts.

Ying Qi lowered her head, and heard Li Xingjin ask him: "Do you know that this is a mandarin duck jade that only lovers can gift?"

"I know." Ying Qi didn't dare to hide anything.

"Heh," Ying Qi chuckled in his ear, but there was no smile at all, full of anger, "You know why he doesn't know."

"The jade pendant is well preserved. Could it be that she intends to sell it for money when she runs out of food? Look at me!"

Facing the moody emperor, Ying Qi's heart trembled and he hurriedly raised his head.

Probably because he was very angry, he saw the emperor throwing the jade pendant on the couch, raised his eyes and sneered at him: "You don't know, I took the jade pendant sent by the Tubo people in the treasury to guard against your hand." Bluestone', only this one piece, is often regarded as sapphire by those who don't know the goods, but those profiteers outside are not stupid."

Li Xingjin looked at the jade pendant again, and the image of the jade pendant being knocked off in his hand that day resurfaced in his mind again, his eyes seemed to have broken ice.

Looking at Shadow Seven again in a blink of an eye, the crushed ice gradually ignited, gradually turning into molten flames, with a strong desire to win.

He has done so much, endured the separation of his soul as if being torn apart, and even thought of letting go.

But the result?

This fierce horse, which he had endured for nearly ten years and could not bear to tame, was almost killed on the battlefield in an accident.

How can he bear this?

This time, he would never let go, even if the process would hurt his pony a little, he would not dare to let go again.

Seeing that the emperor mistook him for a major general and said such angry and wronged words, Ying Qi's eyelids twitched, no matter how stupid he was, he knew the true origin of this jade pendant, he couldn't figure out why the jade pendant was on his body, could it be It was left behind by the major general, did he pick it up?

Being watched with scorching eyes, that person was still the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. Ying Qi couldn't bear it and lowered his head, revealing a section of his snow-white neck, and quickly expressed his position: "Your Majesty, forgive me. I didn't know this was a gift from Your Majesty to the Major General. When I woke up, I saw the jade wearing it on my body, and I was inexplicably happy, so I thought..."

It turned out that this jade pendant was not his.

"What did you say?"

Ying Qi took the jade pendant, put both hands in his hands, knelt and handed it over: "Your Majesty, return it to its original owner."

Li Xingjin glanced at him as he was dawdling on the soft carpeted floor, and stopped entangled with him about whether to kneel or not, and asked him, "What did you just say?"

"This is a gift from His Majesty to the Major General, and Ying Qi has it all for himself. Now it is returned to His Majesty, and Ying Qi is willing to be punished."

Li Xingjin was a little anxious: "I asked you the last question! You said that you fell in love with it as soon as you saw it?"

His tone was anxious, and his face was not so pleasant. Ying Qi thought that His Majesty was very dissatisfied and was holding him accountable, so he hurriedly said: "This subordinate dare not! This subordinate just..." He was so anxious that he was at a loss for words, like an ant on a hot pot , do not know what to do.

It's nothing for His Majesty to blame him alone, I'm afraid that His Majesty will feel incomprehensible, and even Ying Yi who concealed the jade pendant and Ying Liu who saw him wearing the jade pendant but didn't know about it will also be held accountable.

He was sweating anxiously, but Li Xingjin suddenly burst into laughter.

Ying Qi blinked and stared blankly, unable to react for a while.

But he was thinking in his heart, what Ying Liu said was indeed true, the emperor was moody and his behavior was secretive, so it was not easy for people to guess his mind.

He thought, for a person like him who has no memory, doesn't like to talk, and hates twists and turns, he might not even be able to make a move in front of His Majesty.

Ying Qi gritted his teeth in secret, and went all out. After all, he brought the jade pendant back from the battlefield, and it was a mistake to find a way for His Majesty. Even if he was punished, it shouldn't be too heavy.

He figured it out, and simply admitted: "The things your majesty bestowed to the major general are exquisite and rare. When this subordinate saw that he wanted to hunt, he hid it secretly without telling Ying Yiying Liu. This subordinate knows his mistake and wishes be punished."

He was not too dull, he knew the intention behind avoiding the jade pendant, he only said that he was attracted by the jade pendant itself, so he took it as his own.

But in fact, this sapphire is only superior in the novelty of the carving patterns. If the skill is so ingenious, it can't be counted. It is even too simple and crude compared to its expensive raw materials. ignored it.

"Tsk," Li Xingjin's voice was laziness, and Ying Qi somehow felt that the emperor seemed very happy, "Since Ying Qi likes it so much, and wore it all the way from Huangkou to the capital, then I will send it to you."

Ying Qi wanted to say that he didn't seem to wear it close to his body all the time, but seeing that the emperor deliberately emphasized the word "like", he swallowed the latter words wisely.

The jade pendant was put back on his neck by the emperor himself. Ying Qi stiffened and did not refuse any more. Her slender fingers picked up the clothes on his body, revealing an inch-long scar running longitudinally on his chest and abdomen. Ying Qi was forced to Looking up, the slender neck leans against the edge of the short couch, stretching out beautiful and extremely tense blood vessels and tendons, like a young deer tightly locked by prey.

When a hand covered his thinly muscled abdomen, Ying Qi couldn't help panting.

He closed his eyes slightly, his mind went blank.

Memory is like the most ruthless quicksand, surging past, blowing up patches of blood red in the flesh and blood, once he tried to keep him, he would be rewarded with blood mist.

And all about the emperor in front of him was the only memory that was deeply embedded in his rotten flesh and blood in the short time after waking up.

Feeling the hand rubbing gently on the abdomen, Ying Qi restrained herself from making any resistance.

In the eyes of the emperor, he is Ying Qi, the shadow of Major General Song Qi and the third prince of Chu.

The shadow guard carries the sword for the emperor, and also needs to meet all the needs of the emperor.

The words that the emperor said sounded in my mind: Ying Qi, I hope that you can accompany me for him.

Ying Qi's eyes were hazy, and with his keen intuition like a small animal, he vaguely detected that in his future missions, acting as the substitute of the major general might be the most important thing.

Ying Qi could no longer feel any sensation in his stomach, he hesitated to do so in Li Xingjin's coaxing words, trembling around the king's neck, as if it was a signal, Li Xingjin suddenly clasped the back of his head tightly, Buried between his collarbones, he sighed softly: "Ying Qi, I have taken my sapphire, so don't say those high-sounding official words before, do you understand?"

For some reason, Ying Qi felt a little scared for the decision he just made. He didn't understand what it meant, but under the deep gaze of the emperor, he knew that he had no escape, so he could only hoarse and tremble. Said: "Your Majesty, I am willing."
