Capture

go?you are right……"

"Yes, me as a leopard, me as a beast." Lin Shui stared at the other party closely, not missing the slightest change in the other party's expression.

"When you were a leopard, you saved my life. Everything I said at that time was true. After knowing that you were going to leave, I didn't stop me, but I didn't want you to get involved in disputes. It's not that I don't know how much you treat me. Feelings are just... leopards and people, I really can't accept it."

"So just pretend you don't know? Including pretending not to know that I can understand human language, not knowing that I have human thinking."

"Yes." Yanfeng replied without hesitation.Then he looked at Linshui quietly and stopped talking.

Linshui also remained silent, and it took a long time to show her original smile. "Thank you, thank you for not lying to me."

Indeed, no matter who it is, it is impossible to accept a leopard's feelings for him.Changing places, if I encounter such strange things, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept them.Relatively speaking, Yanfeng did not show alienation and disgust towards himself at that time, and it was not easy not to regard himself as a monster.

At this moment, Linshui really felt relieved.Yanfeng didn't lie to himself, even when he talked about the past when he was a leopard in the face of his adult self at this moment... This made him very relieved.

"Tomorrow, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for a while." Linshui took out something from his bosom and handed it to the other party: "This is part of the consonance ring you gave me in the past. On that day, Master combined the consonance ring with another Only the two bracelets were fused together to form the bracelet on my hand. This is the other part left after the fusion that day."

"Speaking of this." Yanfeng also took out something from his arms.

Lin Shui was surprised to find that it was the bell that the other party tore off when she and him parted at the foot of Longwu Mountain that day.

Yanfeng took what was in Linshui's hand, then rewound the bell, and handed it to the other party again: "This is another bracelet."

Linshui didn't answer it, but pushed the hand back instead: "Although I can't accompany you on the expedition, at least I can let it maintain a concern and keep you safe."

Yanfeng did not shirk, took back the bracelet, and buckled it in his belt. "Listen to Linshui's tone, do you want to stay here? It seems that you know everything about Master Guoshi."

"Has Feng met Master?" Linshui was a little surprised.But Yanfeng shook his head: "Master Guoshi is like a mythical existence in the underground palace. There are very few people who have seen it back to the palace this time, and I have never seen it. Your Highness knows a lot of things."

"Really." Linshui curled her lips in embarrassment, and then looked at the bustling street not far away. "No way, I don't want to go against Master Beauty's will."

Besides, although I am not a native of the Underground Palace, thinking of Yanfeng, who is always working hard for the people of the Underground Palace, I can't help but have the idea of ​​wanting to protect the country together with him.It's just that Linshui couldn't express these thoughts, nor did he express them.

Seeing Linshui like this, Shen Yanfeng opened his mouth, but he still didn't make any sound after all.What qualifications does he have...to ask for such Linshui—such a Linshui dedicated to himself.

"By the way, when Feng returns this time, let's go to Longwu Mountain to visit the beautiful master." As if thinking of something, Linshui's cheeks flushed slightly: "My elder here is only one person .”

"...Okay." Yanfeng hides the sadness in his eyes without any trace, and speaks with a smile.

"Tomorrow...I won't see you off tomorrow." Lin Shui said, then lowered her head.

"……it is good."

"I...I just..."

This time, Linshui's words were submerged in the gentle lips before he finished speaking.

It seems that there is no need for words in the future, and the other party will be able to understand his friendship and state of mind.For this reason, Lin Shui couldn't help closing his eyes slowly.

seven test

Thousands of miles away, long journey.

The team led by General Shen Yanfeng from the left had assembled at the gate of the city early at dawn.Today is the first time the general has led the army to go out after returning to Beijing, and it is the next day after the sudden cancellation of the marriage.

The streets that should have been quiet early in the morning gathered some folks because of the expedition team.Part of it was to see off the family members, but most of them were to come to say goodbye to this loyal general.

Dressed in military horses, a brand new cloak was blown in the morning wind.A commonly used sword is hung around the waist, and a decorative bracelet is tied on the side of the jade belt.

Looking up at the sky, Yanfeng turned to look at the end of the street, his eyes stayed in the direction of the general's mansion for a long time, and then slowly retracted his eyes.

"General, it's almost time. It's time to leave." Fan Yuan on the side approached Shen Yanfeng to remind him.

Yanfeng nodded, then turned around and pressed the saddle, and got on the horse neatly.

"Get ready to go!" Fan Yuan gave an order, and all the soldiers returned to the team and got ready.

Yanfeng turned the horse's head, looked at the neat team behind him, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, and then stopped. "This time, I was ordered by Emperor Huai to go to the northwest border to wipe out the real military bandits, and to restore the peace of the people in my border. All the soldiers under my command, Shen Yanfeng, must abide by the law and military discipline. My underground palace soldiers are like my brothers and sisters, and I, Shen Yanfeng, will surely Take the lead and protect our underground palace forever! The people are happy!"

As soon as Yanfeng finished speaking, the originally silent street was instantly filled with echoing voices, which broke through the fog of morning dawn and lingered in the sky.And in the dark at the corner of the street, a person quietly watched this scene with a faint smile on his face.

Only those who win the hearts and minds of the people can have the staple food smoothly. Obviously, Yanfeng has done a good job.In this way, you can rest assured that you can do what you should do with peace of mind.

"Linshui, don't you want to say goodbye?"

It turned out that the person in the dark place was none other than Linshui who couldn't say goodbye yesterday.It's just that although he didn't come to see him off, he still didn't feel the longing in his heart and came quietly.He didn't want to show up, but he didn't want to increase the other party's fetters and concerns.As for himself, as long as he silently sent him off like this, he would be satisfied.

"No, master, let's go back." Linshui looked at the team that was slowly leaving the city until the stalwart figure disappeared from sight, then turned around and said with a smile: "Tomorrow is the day when I succeed the post of national teacher. There are still many things I don’t understand, so I will trouble Master today.”

Zixuan was speechless. If he really did something wrong, he would not be able to change the established facts at this time.I only hope that Shen Yanfeng can change his mind, don't disappoint Linshui in the end.

And I, no matter how much I guess, I have no right to talk about Linshui behind my back.Everything is the path that Linshui firmly wants to take, and he also told himself that he will never regret it, so he has only one way to believe.

"Master Beauty, let's go back to the palace."

Zixuan nodded, but did not immediately follow Linshui's pace, but the moment Linshui turned around, he distorted his face, and reflexively raised his hands to cover his lips, preventing the crimson blood from spurting out of his mouth.

Is the end approaching?

Quickly wiped off the blood stains with a handkerchief, looking at Linshui's back, Zi Xuan couldn't help gritting his teeth: Not yet, he can't just leave like this, he still has things to do.At least, let him help Linshui stabilize his position in the court, and let himself be sure that Ji Qing will never retaliate against Linshui.And Yan'er... hey.

"Master?" Lin Shui felt that the people behind him didn't seem to follow immediately, so he turned around to check in doubt.

Zixuan smiled back, and walked to Linshui's side seemingly unharmed: "As a teacher, I was thinking, where should I start... I have already forgotten about this position of national teacher."

Putting his hand on the shoulder of the beautiful master, Lin Shui patted it carelessly: "Talk slowly, you must trust my apprentice's ingenuity."

"You, you." Zixuan raised his hand to strike, but in the end he scratched Linshui's nose with a smile on his fingers: "Actually, the position of national teacher is just a symbol..."

……

The term "National Teacher", as the name suggests, implies national prestige, and is known by the teacher's name.To teach him what to do, to respect his people.It puts the country first, puts the people first, and does its best to share prosperity with the country.

Therefore, the national teacher is so respected by others, and it is said that he is as famous as the emperor in this underground palace.Because even the emperor is just an ordinary person with selfish desires.But as a teacher of the state, he has to pass many tests and truly be selfless for the people and put the country first.

Over the past dynasties, the national teachers of the underground palace country have all been extraordinary.Up to Zixuan's generation, there were only three national teachers in Digong Kingdom.If there is no suitable person for this position of national teacher, he would rather hang it vacant than arbitrarily appoint someone to succeed him.

And once they become the national teacher of the underground palace, and those who leave the underground palace without authorization for a year, they will lose a lot of rights, except to keep their name.Because the name of the national teacher is not only to assist the country, but also to calm the hearts of the people.In the underground palace country, the existence of the national teacher can make too many people feel at ease, just like a kind of belief, so they should not give up at will.

The national teacher of the underground palace has his own rights.The organization called "Yu" is an existence that only obeys the orders of the national teacher.However, he is also an existence that restrains each other with the national teacher, just like a sharp double-edged sword.If people in the position of national teachers have rebellious hearts, or do things that are inappropriate to the country and the people, then they have the right to punish them accordingly.

The second national teacher of the Digong Kingdom died under the killer of the "Yu" organization because of his intention of treason.As for Zixuan, the third national teacher, because he left the underground palace shortly after his succession, he has not really used the ability of "Yu" and has lost the qualification to use it.

Because of the existence of "Yu", so to a certain extent, the position of the national teacher of the underground palace is no less than
