A Faithful Dog's Secret Guard

At night, the capital city was brightly lit and people were coming and going. A man in a black cloak entered the backyard of a jewelry store. Lu Ying, who had been guarding there already, saluted the man, "My lord."

Jiang Xuan took off the hood of his cloak. It was a little hot in summer, but anyone who looked at his eyebrows would feel the frost. After sitting down, he took the note in Lu Ying's hand and read it, saying: "All ready?"

"Yes." Lu Ying nodded and said, "We have arranged the capital for many years, and our eyeliner is everywhere, and everything is under the master's control."

Jiang Xuan let out a faint "huh", as if he couldn't get any interest, his eyes didn't know where to fall, and he was a little lost, Lu Ying tried again: "The Taiwei is about to close the net, the evidence of the letter and gang before We have already got all of them. We only need to get some items from the Beijing Army and control the Taiwei, and then we can send everything to the palace. It’s just that this last step was agreed to cooperate with the Zhaohou Mansion. I don’t know my son. What are you going to do?"

"Cooperation?" Jiang Xuan snorted coldly, "Xiao Yin is quite smart, he has been wary of us, and perhaps secretly arranged a trick to make us suffer, but he didn't know..." The smile on his lips was cold , "The real oriole is us, and he is still busy in vain in the end."

Lu Ying didn't dare to say any more, and said: "Master Gu's side has already made arrangements, and when the matter is completed, we will go out from the North City Gate and go directly to Zhongzhou."

"No, take my brother away before Xiao Yin goes to Taiwei's Mansion." Jiang Xuan shook his head and said, "I have something to say to Xiao Yin alone."

Seeing Jiang Xuan's cold eyes, Lu Ying thought that what she was about to say was definitely not a good thing, so she bowed her head respectfully in response, and then heard Jiang Xuan ask: "Where did brother and Xiao Yin go?"

"My subordinates heard that Xiao Yin took him to Lanyue Tower to listen to the song." Lu Ying replied, "I don't know if I'm going back now."

"Listen to the song?" Jiang Xuan frowned, obviously not very happy, "Why, do you still think the acting is not enough? Do you want to show it to Yuyanghou and the palace?"

Lu Ying held her breath and said, "It seems that there is such an intention."

Jiang Xuan snorted coldly and said: "I really don't know what's wrong with Xiao Yin. My brother was deceived by him eight years ago. If it wasn't for Xiao Yin's fate, he should have gone to see the King of Hades eight years ago. If he was lucky enough to survive Don't let my brother go, if you really like my brother, that's fine, his behavior is just for fun, but my brother is a fool, but he is sincere."

"Then... the subordinates go down and call people back?" Lu Ying didn't know what to do with this matter, so she said cautiously, "Over there at Lanyue Tower..."

"No need." Jiang Xuan stood up and walked out, "I'll take a look."

It didn't take long to walk from the jewelry shop to Lanyue Tower. Jiang Xuan arrived at this beautifully furnished restaurant. The clerk at the door had probably received Xiao Yin's orders and quickly led Jiang Xuan to the second floor.

On the second floor, there is a row of elegant rooms next to the window. Bamboo curtains are hung in the front and back. You can see the scene downstairs clearly. It is an excellent place to listen to music and watch dances. The left and right sides are separated from the adjacent elegant room by wooden boards. , cannot see each other, and the voice can only be heard dimly.

A few good-looking young ladies went to and from each private room, laughing and fighting one after another, and some unserious voices often penetrated into the ears.

Jiang Xuan stood in the corner of the private room and looked outside. There were only Xiao Yin and Jiang Yao inside. At this time, the two were very close. Xiao Yin held Jiang Yao in front of him and pressed against the railing, with his hands pressed He pointed at his waist and whispered something to a dancer downstairs who was dancing.

The clerk winked very much, and said softly to Jiang Xuan, "Young master, why don't you sit next door first."

Jiang Xuan's expression couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, so he looked at it for a while, said "um", and sat in the private room next door.

Jiang Yao, who was covered by Xiao Yin, already felt that he was a little uncomfortable everywhere. He was completely red from the tips of his ears to the base of his neck, and even had a few beads of sweat from the heat. After lightly rubbing his hands twice, Jiang Yao froze again immediately, and dared not move even more. A brighter red color appeared on the side of his neck where he was rubbed.

No matter where Jiang Yao is habitually vigilant, he does not dare to slack off in the slightest, and pays attention to the possible dangers in all directions in real time, so that he can enter the fighting state at the fastest speed. Most of the time, his right hand is even Not daring to leave the hilt of the sword, or quietly holding the corner of the hidden weapon in the sleeve, ready to go.

But now he can't enter such a state no matter what, his originally tense body has long been relaxed and limp, and there is even a strange tingling sensation in his waist and abdomen surrounded by Xiao Yin, which makes him tremble uncontrollably.

He has never been touched so closely by anyone, and he is uncomfortable everywhere, but there is a deep thirst hidden everywhere, like a fish that is short of water and can't help but want to drink more water after getting a little water.

Xiao Yin sensed Jiang Yao's reaction, and realized that this person was more sensitive than he imagined, his whole body was covered with sensitive spots, but this also meant that this was a body that had never been touched by anyone. There are very few close contacts, so he is so sensitive to his casual touch.

It's just that Jiang Yao's actions were a bit unexpected. Even though he was trembling slightly because of sensitivity, he seemed to want to escape subconsciously, but in the end he stuck to him even tighter. As soon as he let go of his hand or took a step back, Jiang Yao would He leaned forward quickly as if frightened, as if he was eagerly seeking something he had longed for.

It turned out that Jiang Yao liked this kind of touch, and maybe it brought Jiang Yao a strange pleasure.

Xiao Yin secretly pursed his lips, wrapped his arms around his waist, and moved around his narrow waist, pinched his red ears with the other hand, and asked, "How is it? Does that dancer look good?"

Jiang Yao trembled even more, bit his lips to cover up a sob that was about to come out, the corners of his eyes were red, and his voice unconsciously softened by three points, and whispered: "Master, master, if you think it looks good, just look good... "

Xiao Yin chuckled lightly and said, "Why do you call me master again?"

After Jiang Yao returned to the dark pavilion, he called back the title of master. Xiao Yin usually acquiesced, and Mo Feng and the others called it that. He should have gotten used to it long ago, but I don’t know why Jiang Yao called it that. It's a novel feeling, he quite likes Jiang Yao calling it that.

Ever since he let Jiang Yao act with him, he stopped letting Jiang Yao continue barking, but Jiang Yao often couldn't remember and still barked wrongly.

"Hou...Hou Ye." Jiang Yao only felt itchy and numb on his waist. If there was any danger now, he could guarantee that he would not be able to fight at all, "You, don't touch there..."

"Where?" Xiao Yin squeezed his waist in a tricky way, "Here? Or here?"

Jiang Yao's whole body was hot, his eyes were red as if he had been crying, he couldn't speak at all, and begged: "Master Hou, please..."

"Maybe there is the eyeliner of Yuyanghou or the Holy One here, we have to pretend to be a little bit." Xiao Yin said with a smile, "Ayao, you can't be so shy."

After his parents were gone, no one in the world called him "Ayao" again. He suddenly heard Xiao Yin call him that, Jiang Yao looked a little dazed, but his heart was beating fast, and the itchy hotness on his body dissipated. After going a lot, it became warm and pleasant, like a person who has been walking in the ice and snow for a long time finally met a cluster of bonfires and felt the warmth of the world.

Jiang Yao's lips moved, and he couldn't hear what Xiao Yin said again for a while, before he said softly after a long time: "Master Hou, can you call me like that again..."

"Huh? What kind?" Xiao Yin was talking to him about the delicious and interesting things in the street outside. When he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then reacted again, scratching his waist, "So You like me calling you A Yao."

Jiang Yao blushed and didn't speak, Xiao Yin thought it was interesting, and leaned into his ear deliberately, and whispered softly: "Ayao, Ayao, Ayao..."

I don't know how many times Xiao Yin called, Jiang Yao's ears were as crisp and numb as his waist, and when he heard Xiao Yin asking him if he wanted to go out to play, he immediately agreed, thinking about going out to blow some air , this place is full of sweet and greasy smell of wine and powder, and the hot feeling will only intensify.

Xiao Yin changed his face a little, making himself look ten years older, a dozen hidden guards followed them in secret, Jiang Xuan trailed behind them not too far away, Xiao Yin pulled Jiang Yao and walked in front of them very affectionately.

As soon as the night wind blew, the previous heat dissipated slightly, and Jiang Yao felt more comfortable, but Xiao Yin was still too close to him, and now he regretted agreeing to act in this scene.

If it was really just for acting, it would be the same when Xiao Yin approached Jiang Xuan. Jiang Xuan would behave more naturally, but Xiao Yin chose to find him. He realized that Xiao Yin didn't hate him as much as before, and even liked him a little. he.

After so many years, if he really didn't know how to read people's faces, he would probably have died a hundred or eighty times. On the contrary, he is very good at reading people's faces and knows how to read other people's thoughts, but he always has no confidence in himself. And others will not affirm him, so he is always trembling, inferior and silent.

He could tell that Xiao Yin was also lonely, longing for someone who could be closer to him and let go of the pain of eight years.

"Master Hou, your eyes..." Jiang Yao tugged at Xiao Yin's sleeves and whispered, "If it recurs, how often does it usually take?"

"Not necessarily, sometimes it's half a year, sometimes it's a month." Xiao Yin replied, "The number of times started to decrease last year. The doctor said that as time goes by and the toxin fades, the relapse time will be less and less."

Jiang Yao nodded, and after a while, asked again: "The emotional illness... Will it get better?" Jiang Yao didn't dare to say that it was madness, so he had to ask awkwardly.

"That usually occurs when the eyes are invisible." Xiao Yin smiled indifferently, "It's fine on weekdays."

Jiang Yao nodded again, and was about to ask again, Xiao Yin also pulled off his sleeves, seemingly unintentionally said: "Since you care about me so much, why don't you leave."

There were people coming and going in the market, and the radiant lanterns on the side of the street cast a little bit of light into Xiao Yin's eyes. For the first time, Jiang Yao saw the focused tenderness in those eyes, which was only for himself.

He felt that he wanted to cry at this time, but Xiao Yin was trying to keep him, but he looked back at Jiang Xuan who was not far away, suppressed his tears again, shook his head and said, "I promised Ah Xuan to leave, and I really want to detoxify. I have completely left the Jiang family, Jiang Lianzhi will not give me any antidote, and Axuan will take me to see Doctor Gu for detoxification..."

So he didn't mean to leave, he didn't mean to refuse Xiao Yin's request to stay.

Jiang Xuan said before that unless Xiao Yin has the same heart as him, it will still be fruitless for him to stay by Xiao Yin's side. One day Xiao Yin will despise him, but... how could Xiao Yin be with him? The same hidden love that can't be said.

Xiao Yinchang has never taken the initiative to keep anyone at such a young age, but he was rejected by others. He was also a little silent for a while, Jiang Yao thought he was angry, his eyes were a little flustered, and said: "Master Hou, I..."

"Of course the detoxification must be done, and this cannot be delayed." Xiao Yin's expression returned to normal, "If there is a chance in the future, we will definitely meet again."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yin walked to the front first, the shadow of the lamp shook, Jiang Yao blinked, and Xiao Yin's back could not be seen clearly when his vision was blurred.

The current meeting was an accident, it was a special gift from God, in the future... there will be no chance.

Jiang Yao followed Xiao Yin and walked back. Seeing that Xiao Yin was not in high spirits, he was also depressed. After returning to their residence in the capital, Xiao Yin seemed to have adjusted his mood. Smilingly, he invited Jiang Yao and Jiang Xuan to drink tea together.

Jiang Xuan sat down unceremoniously, grabbed Jiang Yao who was about to leave to sit with him, and said: "Your Majesty's performance today is really high-profile."

"How can you deceive people without being high-profile?" Xiao Yin poured tea for the two of them himself, and said calmly, "Besides, we don't have much time, so of course we have to do it as soon as possible."

"That's natural." Jiang Xuan nodded, "The Taiwei should not be able to sit still now, we only need to grasp a few people in the Beijing camp to collect the net, and the other evidence has been sorted out, and it can be sent to the palace at any time .”

"Now Lin Dingtang doesn't dare to come out casually. I heard that the morning court has been saying that he is sick at home. I'm afraid he is already thinking of retreating." Xiao Yin tapped on the table with two fingers, "It seems that we have to start early, and we can't wait any longer."

"Then when is Lord Hou going to do it?" Jiang Xuan took a sip of tea calmly, his eyes were calm, as if he didn't feel that the matter was urgent. Doubt."

"I won't come forward directly." Xiao Yin had already made a plan, "I will do the layout of the capital. This is what you promised me, and you can't act without authorization. You will be the last one to come forward, how about it?"

Jiang Xuan knew in his heart that Xiao Yin's so-called arrangement was not only to put Lin Dingtang to death, but also to plot against them to fall into the imperial court and get back the benefits. As for how to calculate, he had already guessed how to calculate. Finding a way out for himself, Luo Chaozong and Jiang's family were linked together, but it was not so easy to get out of the muddy waters of the capital, and Jiang Lianzhi was likely to be hunted down by the court, and he could not escape death.

After all, the Jiang family should be number one among Xiao Yin's enemies, and he would never allow Jiang Lianzhi to live in this world no matter what.

But, Xiao Yin is destined to backfire.

Jiang Xuan seemed to be easy to speak, nodded and said: "Listen to Lord Hou."

Seeing that Jiang Xuan was still sitting and drinking tea in a leisurely manner, with no intention of saying goodbye, while Jiang Yao sat aside and bowed his head in silence, Xiao Yin coughed and said, "You...do you have anything else to do?"

Jiang Xuan and Jiang Yao raised their heads at the same time, Xiao Yin pointed to Jiang Xuan, and said to Jiang Yao: "I say him."

"It's getting late, Master Hou should go to bed early." Jiang Xuan got up indifferently, and took a step first, "Brother, you should go to bed early too."

Jiang Yao responded softly, waiting for Xiao Yin to speak, but Xiao Yin remained silent for a long time. He subconsciously curled up his fingers and tensed up, his breathing was stagnant, and he was even more afraid to look at Xiao Yin, and lowered himself again. After a while, he couldn't help but said first: "Master, do you have anything to say?"

When Jiang Yao came back, he changed his address again, and Xiao Yin didn't bother to let this person change, besides, Jiang Yao called him that really made him feel good.

He had already said the most inappropriate words tonight, and now he didn't know what else to say, but deep down in his heart, he had an eager thought—he didn't want Jiang Yao to leave his sight.

He didn't know what words he used to best describe Jiang Yao's thoughts now, and it seemed that he couldn't describe it right. Thinking of that dream, he felt guilty and remorseful. Apart from that, he should be grateful, but If it was just like this, he could simply regard Jiang Yao as a benefactor. Jiang Yao asked, and he repaid the kindness.

But what confuses him most now is that he actually doesn't want to settle his grievances with Jiang Yao and have no more entanglements.

He looked at Jiang Yao's blinking eyelashes because of nervousness, and thought: Maybe I feel sorry for him.

In the past eight years, Xiao Yin divided the world into two types, those who are useful to him, and those who are useless to him. His emotions have been left behind by him, and he doesn't want to touch them in this life, but he happens to have a little bit of relationship with Jiang Yao. Emotions are beyond the scope of interests, wrapped in guilt and gratitude, so Jiang Yao's various performances have broken a little bit of the ice in his heart, giving him a heart of compassion.

Thinking like this, Xiao Yin calmed down again, everyone has a heart of compassion, since he only loves Jiang Yao, it's not surprising.

Xiao Yin poured another cup of tea, and asked, "You said earlier that you were going to go to Miracle Doctor Gu to detoxify you, but that Miracle Physician Gu was Gu Jinghong?"

Jiang Yao nodded: "Yes."

"Oh, I just wanted to say that Gu Jinghong healed my injury back then." Xiao Yin said, "Gu Jinghong has a weird temper, and it's not easy to find him for treatment. If you can't handle him, just report my name. I lived with him for a long time back then, and I had some friendship with him, so he should sell me face."

Jiang Yao lowered his eyes, a small shadow was cast on the eyelids of his eyelashes, and he looked more obedient, and said: "Thank you, master, but Ah Xuan said that he has already made an agreement with Doctor Gu, and Doctor Gu promised to detoxify me. Yes... there is a deal with Luo Chaozong."

Xiao Yin felt that he was really miserable tonight, he was rejected to keep him, and he was told that it was unnecessary to give him a favor. It seems that he is really used to Jiang Yao's appearance of letting him rub it round and flat, and it is really not easy to coax him now , he had no choice but to say: "Since this is the case, then I can rest assured."

"You... are you going back to rest?" Xiao Yin coughed, "It's a bit late."

Jiang Yao stood up and said, "This subordinate hasn't practiced sword tonight, master should rest first."

"You want to practice sword?" Xiao Yin's mind became hot, "Then I will go with you."

Jiang Yao was dazed, and when he went out with Xiao Yin, he still hadn't recovered. Seeing that Xiao Yin didn't designate a place, he went to an open space next to the yard where Jiang Xuan lived. He's been here recently. practice sword.

Xiao Yin picked up his sword and looked at it, it was a very ordinary sword, and said: "This is for you from the Dark Pavilion?"

Jiang Yao replied, "Yes."

"What about your old one?" Xiao Yin said, "If you want it, let Mo Feng return it to you."

Jiang Yao shook his head and said, "No, it's all the same."

Xiao Yin frowned: "Mo Feng Qi Yan and the others all have their own swords, they have been using them for many years, and you have never had them?"

"I... all my subordinates use the swords that are issued..." Jiang Yao bit his lip, "I don't have my own sword..."

Jiang Yao also heard people say before that warriors who use swords should have their own swords, and they would give their swords names, but he didn't have such good luck. All of them are issued swords. In his cognition, these are all rewards from the master. He is an object of the master, so the sword naturally belongs to the master's family, not to him.

Ever since he started training as a hidden guard, he no longer remembers how many swords he has used. Those swords are the most common swords, with lightness and sharpness as their main purpose. A good sword, after a period of time, if the curly blade wears out and becomes difficult to use, it will be replaced with an identical one.

He used to be envious of other people having their own swords, but as he got older, he no longer had such thoughts. Sometimes it is not easy to survive, and he has no extra thoughts to yearn for a sword. It's just a worthless item next to the master, wouldn't it be a loss if the master gave him a good sword?

Now that Xiao Yin asked such a question, he felt very uncomfortable. This kind of trivial matter showed the world's difference between him and Xiao Yin. Xiao Yin could have many, many useful and beautiful swords, but he did not deserve to have them.

Xiao Yin just glanced at him, without saying anything, and handed him the sword.

Jiang Yao took the sword, and with Xiao Yin watching, he felt very uncomfortable, and felt that he couldn't concentrate all the time.

This time, Xiao Yin was finally able to watch Jiang Yao practice his sword up close. Compared with watching from a distance by the window that day, the up-close look is indeed more pleasing to the eye. Jiang Yao's random movements are very clean and neat, accompanied by The strong wind was engulfing the murderous aura, and his nimble figure moved around, his figure came and went silently like the sword light, and Jiang Yao's focused expression attracted his attention even more. Compared with playing chess, Jiang Yao obviously liked chess more. practice sword.

But Jiang Yao is willing to do things he doesn't like because he wants to make him happy.

Xiao Yin was excited while watching, but at the same time had mixed feelings. Seeing Jiang Yao stop, he asked with a smile, "Tired?"

Jiang Yao hesitated to speak, shook his head and said, "No."

"I used to have a sword called Ling Yun, which was given to me by my father on my tenth birthday." Xiao Yin looked at the sword in his hand with distant eyes, "But I haven't taken it out to see it for many years. It's..."

Jiang Yao's fingers clenched tightly, his eyes became hot because of this sentence. In that long memory, the figure of the young man in white robe dancing with a spear and sword is still so clear. Why is the sky so cruel...

Seeing that he was gripping the sword tightly, Xiao Yin opened his fingers and took out the sword, and twisted it twice in his hand.

The main point of using a sword is to exert force with the wrist. When Xiao Yin was thirteen or fourteen years old, he was able to wield a heavy spear. Trick, he smiled and said: "It's not good now, I can't hold it anymore."

Jiang Yao's tears fell down, and the blood-soaked past was intertwined with Xiao Yin's pale smile now. His heart ached uncontrollably, which almost made him unable to stand still. He stepped forward in a daze and gently lifted Xiao Yin's sleeve , rubbed the rough fingertips over the glaring scar on the wrist, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Gu also...can't heal it?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yin never took the initiative to bring up these things, today was an exception, and his expression couldn't hide his sadness, "It took a long time at that time, it was lucky to be able to pick it up, I can't hold a sword with both hands in this life, and Can't use force."

Jiang Yao's tears fell on the back of Xiao Yin's hand, and he said softly, "I'm sorry...I should have rescued you earlier...I'm sorry..."

"If you don't save me, I'll die." Seeing him crying so sadly, Xiao Yin's mood improved a lot, thinking that Jiang Yao still cared about himself so much, "It's good now Let’s just pretend that I didn’t know martial arts before.”

Jiang Yao recalled that the veins in Xiao Yin's ankle were also broken at that time, and after seeing that Xiao Yin had never ridden a horse, he asked, "Is it true that I can't ride a horse anymore? Will my feet hurt?"

"Actually, I can ride, but it's not safe. Fengqing and the others won't let me ride." Xiao Yin wiped away the tears from his chin, "It doesn't hurt in both hands and feet, as long as you don't use force, you'll be fine."

Jiang Yao took out the blood-stained moon-white hairband from the hidden pocket of his clothes, and said, "The owner of this hairband should give it to me, okay?"

"Isn't this originally yours?" Xiao Yin said with a smile, "You can take it if you want it."

"No, it was given to the master at that time..." Jiang Yao explained in a low voice, "The master left it there when he left, and I secretly hid it..."

Xiao Yin smiled lightly and said nothing, feeling better. Seeing him carefully roll up the hairband and hide it back in, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled off the blue hairband on his head, saying: "One thing for one thing." ,fair enough."

Jiang Yao's long hair spread out, his mouth was slightly open as if he hadn't reacted, he stared blankly at Xiao Yin, not knowing what to say, he turned his eyes away with a blushing face after a long time.

With the stars hanging high in the sky, Xiao Yin looked up and said, "You asked me the other day if there was someone I liked, and did you ever imagine what the other person looked like..."

Jiang Yao didn't expect Xiao Yin to say this suddenly, he held his breath and his heart beat like a drum, and heard Xiao Yin continue to say: "Actually, I have long planned to live alone in this life, and I will not like anyone, let alone Think about what that person looks like. Eight years ago, I could no longer fully trust a person, let alone sleep with a person, so I will not get married. "

Eight years ago, eight years ago...

Jiang Yao closed his eyes, realizing that Xiao Yin from eight years ago was probably really gone, and even he himself had left the past self behind.

This answer made Jiang Yao feel horrible for no reason. He thought selfishly that he could not stay with Xiao Yin forever, and no one in the world could do it. Xiao Yin would not like him, nor would he Like anyone else, Xiao Yin will not be monopolized by anyone.

He rejoiced viciously, not knowing when he became so bad.

Xiao Yin looked at him sideways, did not see any strange emotions on that face, but was unexpectedly calm, he opened his mouth, swallowed what he wanted to say, decided not to say it now, only said: "It's late, go back and rest."

"Master also go to bed early." Jiang Yao was silent, and then comforted, "Master is so kind, you will definitely meet someone who is sympathetic with you."

In the past, everyone said that he would not lie, but now he felt that those people were wrong, he lied without blinking his eyes, and no one could see that he was duplicity.

The author has something to say:

Zha Yin: What?He turned me down? !This unscientific!How could he refuse me!

Goose: Then I wish you a lonely life, dog head.

It’s like this. I originally planned to update [-] words today, but I have a cold and I can’t write anymore.what~
