Shadow guard, he carried my cub

In the long night starry sky, there are not only many stars tonight, but the moon is also round and bright, and the night sky illuminated is no longer so dark.

Moonlight and starlight poured into the cold dungeon through the ventilated windows, illuminating the darkness in a small part of the dungeon. The girl nestled in her mother's arms and poked out a furry head. She curiously stretched out her hand to let the light shine on her hand. The girl He smiled happily as if he had found a new toy.

The dungeons are full of people like girls. The houses were washed away by the rain and lost their homes, and they were locked up inexplicably. Every day, they could only swallow dry steamed buns that they could not eat. At night, the adults either lay on the ground or leaned against the The wall curled up and fell asleep, only the little girl woke up in the middle of the night to play with the moonlight.

There was a sound of heavy objects moving, and a group of government servants held torches and rudely dragged them outside. The girl was so frightened that she quickly shrank back into her mother's arms, and was taken outside the dungeon together with everyone.

Shilipo in the south of the city is a deserted place, with only ruined temples and collapsed houses. If you look carefully, you may find a few bones on the ground, whether they are animals or people.

Most of the temple has collapsed, and it can't even shelter from the wind and rain. There is still a Buddha statue as tall as a person in the temple, but the gold paint has all fallen off, leaving only rust spots, and the original appearance of the Buddha statue cannot be seen. appearance.

Below the Buddha statue is a secret passage that can accommodate hundreds of people. Xu Ce hid the victims of Yuzhou disasters in the secret passage of this temple.Moreover, the secret passage needs to be turned on to open it. Even if someone who does not know how to do it finds this temple, it will be difficult to find the secret passage under the Buddha statue.

The victims were driven to the temple and squatted in one place. Surrounding them were government servants with big knives hanging from their waists and holding torches. No one dared to make a sound at this moment. The red torches illuminated the temple like daylight.

Xu Ce was wearing casual clothes tonight. He stood among the government servants, staring coldly at the trapped victims like ants, and then Xu Ce's voice sounded like a demon crawling out of hell: "Fall!" Kerosene!"

The yamen servant got the order and poured the prepared barrels of oil on the victims like pouring water. The victims screamed in fright. Unfortunately, there were yamen servants around and they had nowhere to escape. The executioner Xu Ce and his master were proud Looking at all this, it seems that this is their masterpiece, as long as these victims are burned to death and their bodies are destroyed, he can sit back and relax.

"My lord, the oil has been poured."

Xu Ce took a last look at the disaster victims who were once his subjects and are now about to become a handful of ashes, and ordered without the slightest mercy: "Light it on fire!"

"Yes!"

The yamen servants responded in unison, and the torches in their hands were about to be lit on the victims who were poured with kerosene. The terrified faces of the victims begged for mercy and the sound of crying resounded throughout.

Just when the torch was about to hit the victims, a whip like a silver snake swung with a sharp sound of piercing through the air. The silver snake danced its graceful figure and swept away all the torches in the hands of the yamen servants. All the torches were extinguished and discarded on the ground like waste materials.

However, the nine-section whip didn't slow down a bit because of this, the whip danced again and hit every yamen servant with precision, and the yamen servants were whipped and flew upside down and lay on the ground screaming in pain.

The boy in black landed steadily in front of the victims like a god descended from the sky. The silver whip in his hand shone coldly under the moonlight and starlight, and his stern face looked like a god of death.

Xu Ce and Qu Qiubai hadn't recovered from the sudden change when a young man in blue slashed at them with a sword.

"Dog officer, what a vicious heart!"

Xu Ce's face turned pale with fright, and he ducked to avoid the blow at the very moment. Xiao Yu's sword failed to cut off half of Gou Guan's head, but cut off half of Gou Guan's hair.

Xiao Yu wanted to make another strike but was blocked by the swarming government servants. Qu Qiubai took the opportunity to help Xu Ce with disheveled hair and hurried out, but they ran into someone before they could run far.

"Master Xu, where are you going?"

When Chi Ming is unsmiling, he has a majesty, which is different from Yiying's coldness. Chi Ming exudes a natural air of emperor, which makes people intimidating.

The invisible imperial coercion caused Xu Ce and Qu Qiubai to lose their legs and sit on the ground. Looking at the officers and soldiers behind Chi Ming, the lit torches were like snakes spitting out messages at Xu Ce.

The victims were rescued, and Xu Ce and Qu Qiubai were sentenced to execution immediately.

On the day of questioning and killing, the officers and soldiers pulled the prison car around Yuzhou Street first, and the people along the road threw rotten vegetables and rotten eggs at Xu Ce and Qu Qiubai in the prison car. Everyone applauded and cheered!

The homeless victims are mainly responsible for the single owner, Bo, who uses the money greedy from Xu Ce to build houses for the victims and buy seeds to open up wasteland. So far, the disaster situation in Yuzhou has been resolved.

Before heading back to Beijing, Chi Min went through the internal and external affairs of the government office. Xu Ce was not only greedy for money, but also lazy. The affairs piled up like a mountain. Apart from being a mess, it was still a mess, and he didn't know who would hit when the next magistrate took over. Face.

After Chi Ming left the palace, he didn't expect to have to wipe the ass of the magistrate who didn't live up to expectations, and he was as aggrieved as he wanted.

At this time, there were two unhurried knocks on the door, and Yiying's voice sounded outside the door immediately: "Master, Master Qi Gu is here, and he is waiting in the living room."

"understood."

Chi Ming put down his pen and followed Yiying to the living room.

Qi Yunxiao was still like that, knowing that Chi Ming was the emperor but he just refused to salute properly, so he raised his hand and opened his mouth at Chi Ming and said, "Long time no see, great beauty."

Xiao Yu respectfully greeted His Majesty behind her Valley Master.

Chi Ming didn't blame Qi Yunxiao for his rudeness, as if he had long been used to the other party's foolishness, he just smiled and raised his hand to invite Qi Yunxiao to sit down.

"I haven't thanked Valley Master Qi for his help. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask."

Qi Yunxiao didn't care about waving his hands: "It's all a matter of raising one's hands, so there is no other request. The beauty thinks me too stingy."

"I also heard that Yi is also thanks to Lord Qi Gu for his rescue, I will remember this kindness!"

Qi Yunxiao looked at Yiying, who was standing silently behind Chi Ming, without any expression on his face, as if they were talking about someone else.

Qi Yunxiao chuckled: "That's a good relationship. It can make the current emperor owe a favor to the next one, and it will be more face-saving to say it. I have to think carefully about how to use the favor of His Majesty so as not to suffer."

Qi Yunxiao rubbed his chin as if he really fell into hard thinking, but Yiying suddenly cupped his hands at Qi Yunxiao, and said: "The kindness of saving life should be repaid by the spring, if Lord Qi Gu is useful in the future, as long as you don't If you disobey the master's order, you will go through fire and water without hesitation."

The corner of Qi Yunxiao's mouth raised and he shouted crazily in his heart, he was in a hurry, he was in a hurry!I thought you were really a wooden man without emotion, and you started to protect the calf before I took advantage of it, and you should repay the favor of saving your life with a spring, and to put it bluntly, isn’t it because you are afraid that I will embarrass Your Majesty with some difficult demands? Tsk tsk tsk, anyway, I am also your savior, but I don't even have this kind of trust, what a white-eyed wolf who protects the calf!

"There's no need to go through fire and water. I'm used to having no desires and I don't want anything. I just hope that if I go to the capital one day, His Majesty can treat me to a delicious meal."

Chi Ming: "How difficult is this?"

Qi Yunxiao said with a smile: "I'll make a note, Your Majesty owes me a meal."

Qi Yunxiao and Chi Ming had a pleasant conversation, and a yamen servant came to report: "Your Majesty, there are two old friends who claim to be your majesty's friends outside the government office and want to see you."

Who else knew that the emperor came to Yuzhou?Even claiming to be an old friend?

Without even thinking about it, Chi Ming said, "Let them in."

The yamen servant took the order and left, and came back with two people after a while.

The yamen servant took him to the living room and then retreated. Chi Ming looked at the two of them. One of them was indeed an old friend, while the other Chi Ming didn't know each other.

Seeing Wujiu Yiying, he was relieved and then nervous. After leaving the Xuanji Pavilion, he had no time to inquire about Wujiu's whereabouts. Now that he was safe and sound, he was relieved, but he was afraid of his master Yiying. What would he do without guilt.

"Chuan Yunguo Rong Ying sends His Majesty greetings."

Rong Ying took the lead in giving Chi Ming a salutation. Chuanyun Kingdom and Yu Kingdom have different etiquette. They don't pay attention to kneeling or not. As long as they are sincere, it is the greatest respect for the superior.

Of course, Chi Ming of Chuanyun Kingdom has heard and understood that the king of Chuanyun Kingdom is over half a hundred years old and has ten sons under his knees, but only four have the chance to inherit the throne, and one of them is the great prince Rong Ying, but Chi Ming, the royal family of Chuanyun Kingdom, had never seen any of them before, so he couldn't recognize Rong Yinglai.

"It turned out to be the great prince of Chuanyun country. I don't know why the great prince came to Yu country? Why didn't you inform me in advance, so that I could send someone to meet the great prince."

Yu State and Chuanyun State have never had any enmity. Because Chuanyun State is not as powerful as Yu State and yet it is close to Yu State, Chuanyun State will send envoys to present gifts to show goodwill during festivals. The first emperor and Chi Ming is not a belligerent person, as long as Chuanyun country is honest and responsible, Yu country will not be idle and free to attack Chuanyun country.

It's just that now the prince of Chuanyun Kingdom came to Yu Kingdom without knowing when, and no one found out, let alone how many people Rong Ying brought with him and what he wanted to do.

Rong Ying seemed heartless, and smiled as if he didn't understand the meaning of Chi Min's words: How dare you bother Your Majesty, the king came to Yu Kingdom for two reasons, one is to find his concubine, and the other is to get along with him. Your Majesty made a deal, and now that the king's concubine is found, the king is left to make this deal with His Majesty. "

Hearing this, Chi Ming looked aside and didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and even gave him a innocent look without saluting, as if it was self-evident who the princess Rong Ying was talking about.

Since Wu Jiu recovered his appearance after detoxification, he no longer wore a gold-plated mask, and the expression on his unruly face was that strangers should not get close to him.

"Oh~ What kind of deal does your lord want to make with me?"

Rong Ying scanned the living room with his eyes: "This matter is of great importance, are you sure your Majesty will not back away?"

"My lord, it's okay to say, there are no outsiders here."

Hearing these words, Qi Yunxiao's heart stirred quite a bit. If it weren't for the inopportune moment, he really wanted to celebrate with Xiaoyu in his arms, but even if he couldn't celebrate, Qi Yunxiao still couldn't help but feel complacent, and looked at Rong Ying with provocative eyes.

Did you hear me, I am not an outsider, but a member of my own family, so hurry up and tell me.

Rong Ying didn't recognize Qi Yunxiao and didn't know who Qi Yunxiao belonged to Chi Ming, but since Chi Ming said so, he didn't worry about it anymore.
