A Faithful Dog's Secret Guard

After Xiao Yin returned to Runzhou, he went back to the old days. The idle clouds and wild cranes are so unrestrained, and the turmoil in the capital has nothing to do with him. At first, those people thought that he re-entered the capital after so many years to disrupt the world, and they would not let it go easily. But it turned out that he was only here for revenge, and he was slapped down hard by Luo Chaozong, but nothing happened, as if he really had no nostalgia for the capital.

No matter what the reason is, for all parties in the capital, this result is undoubtedly the best, and they all heave a sigh of relief. The palace and some people who are closely watching the Xiao family are also relieved. As before, he was ignored, Runzhou was high and the road was far away, as long as he could continue to do whatever he wanted without asking the court, anyway, the court would not be able to support him as Ping Zhaohou.

Xiao Yin, who lives in Runzhou, naturally knows this well. From the very beginning, he didn't want to disturb the turmoil of returning to the capital. When he left there eight years ago, he didn't want to go back. There were people who had good friends with the Xiao family in the past Saying that he has no ambitions, he is still indifferent, so what if he goes back?The emperor had murderous intentions back then, would he really accept the Xiao family to dangle in front of his eyes again?

All he thought was that since he survived, he should live well for the dead of the Xiao family. It is not advisable to seek death blindly, and he has not forgotten the enmity of the Xiao family. The blood debts were paid back one by one by the masterminds, and there was one emperor left. He couldn't kill him, but the emperor had passed his sixtieth birthday, and his health has not been very good in recent years.

Therefore, after Xiao Yin solved the enemy of the Taiwei, he had nothing to worry about. He stayed in Runzhou and continued to be his idle Marquis. He had nothing to do to disturb the forces of the Jianghu, and he had a good relationship with the various sects in the Jianghu. It has become a place that the local rivers and lakes dare not mess with, and their daily intelligence gathering and distribution cannot escape their eyes.

As usual, Ji Fengqing reported various news to Xiao Yin every day, and discussed some difficult matters. Xiao Yin talked with him attentively all morning, and pinched his eyebrows a little tiredly. Ji Fengqing glanced at him and asked, "Master Hou , from now on, Jiang Yao... well, Mr. Jiang will live here?"

"Yes." Xiao Yin frowned at him, "Is there a problem?"

"No problem." Ji Fengqing coughed, "It's just that what identity is he staying in the Hou's mansion? You can't possibly not take him out, Lord Hou, right? There must be a way to take people out?"

Xiao Yin looked at him fixedly for a while, and tentatively said: "You mean... I want to hold a wedding with him?"

Ji Fengqing: "..."

That day when he saw Xiao Yin bring him back with his own eyes, he was mentally prepared. Now he just asked Xiao Yin to make sure that he would have to deal with all kinds of possible troubles if he kept him by his side. I didn't take it seriously, and I didn't think about the same thing as myself. I thought about whether to get married or not. It seems that I have recognized this person in this life.

Xiao Yin was still thinking about this matter, touched his chin and said: "Getting married... It's not impossible, but I don't know if the palace will scold me."

"It's not enough to scold you." Ji Fengqing held his forehead, feeling that this was the case anyway, so he simply followed Xiao Yin and said, "At best, I can teach you a few words for the ancestors of the Xiao family, but if you don't If you give in, I think the palace won't care too much, it doesn't make any difference to them whether you marry a woman or... a man, and it's even a great thing that you don't have any children!"

Xiao Yin nodded and said: "That's right. That is... can it be done?"

"Are you really going to do it?" Ji Fengqing said helplessly, "You don't need to make such a big fuss, do you?"

"Tsk, what are you talking about, the wedding means that I officially recognize his identity, doesn't it? And it is also an announcement to the world. From now on, he will be my Xiao Yin's person, and no one will think of him." Xiao Yin glared at him. With a glance, "And he sacrificed a lot for me in the past, and now I should compensate him for these things. Wind"

Ji Fengqing really felt that Xiao Yin had changed too much. After going out for a trip, he came back so infatuated that he would not change. He even let go of his former arrogance and was willing to lower his figure to love Jiang Yao. It was really shocking.

"Master Hou, what happened when you went to Miracle Doctor Gu?" Ji Fengqing was puzzled, "I heard from Mo Feng that nothing major happened to you except when you encountered a dangerous pack of wolves once. Why... ...Is this how nice you are to Mr. Jiang?"

"Of course it was only after I left that I really realized my heart. Before that, I was deceiving myself and didn't want to admit that I liked him." Xiao Yin sighed, "Seeing his life hanging by a thread, I feel that the sky is going to die." When I collapsed, I only wanted to save him; when I saw that he was going to leave with Jiang Xuan, I felt that a piece of my heart was really missing, and I was not consummated, and realized that I couldn’t let him go , I will regret it for the rest of my life, so I tried my best to chase him back. Later, he agreed to come back with me, and I felt that I had never been so happy. It has been eight years, and this is the first time I have a feeling of joy in my heart. I became more and more convinced that he was the one I identified in my heart. Maybe I was tempted by him when I was in the dungeon eight years ago, but I didn't know."

Hearing that Xiao Yin was willing to speak so confidingly, Ji Fengqing really gave his sincerity and thought it through. It wasn't just a whim, and Jiang Yao is also a person who can't make mistakes. He is also very relieved to be able to accompany Xiao Yin. Then he sighed: "Mr. Jiang is sensitive and innocent. Master Hou may have to work harder. It will not be easy for Mr. Jiang to get along with you as usual."

Xiao Yin is naturally aware of this matter, and said: "I know, he has experienced hardships in the past, and his brain is more ... stubborn, sometimes I have to follow his train of thought to understand what he is thinking. It’s because he has never been hurt by others, and he is worried about gains and losses and is uneasy, but if I treat him better and give him a sense of security, he will gradually get used to the new atmosphere and he will get better.” Speaking of this, he felt In the past two days, I was busy with business during the day, and I didn't see Jiang Yao much, so I couldn't help asking: "By the way, where is he during the day? Why is he always missing?"

"Didn't Master Hou walk around the mansion casually?" Ji Fengqing said, "I also said that he can do whatever he wants."

"I mean, it's not about wanting him to do something he likes too."

"So he always runs to the dark pavilion during the day." Ji Fengqing said, "Mo Feng tells me every day if he can't let him go. If he gets injured accidentally, I'm afraid you will raze the dark pavilion to the ground."

Xiao Yin: "..."

Jiang Yao himself really doesn't have any hobbies. The only thing that can make him a little bit happier and feel that he can do well after all these years is practicing swords. things, but compared to letting him do other things, this is already the easiest thing, and it can also make him realize that he can be useful and will not be a trouble to others.

So he followed Xiao Yin back to Ping Zhaohou's mansion, staying in the house all day long and didn't know what to do, Xiao Yin was always busy during the day, he didn't dare to disturb him casually, for fear of annoying Xiao Yin, and he didn't Knowing the things Ji Fengqing and Xiao Yin talked about that need to use their brains, why do they have to go up, Xiao Yin allowed him to do what he wanted to do, so he went to the dark pavilion tentatively once, and told Mo Feng that he wanted to practice swords Mo Feng didn't refuse, so he used all the places in the dark pavilion to train the dark guards, thinking it was a good way to pass the time.

Little did he know that Mo Feng wished that he would not come.

At the beginning, Qi Yan did not follow Mo Feng to find Gu Jinghong, and when they came back, he happened to go out to perform a mission. When he finally returned to the Dark Pavilion to return, he heard everything from others. Today, he saw Jiang Yao coming to the Dark Pavilion. A little surprised, said: "Why are you here?"

After speaking, he remembered the instructions of the other hidden guards, Jiang Yao is now the master's... sweetheart?

Feeling that the tone of his speech was not respectful enough, Qi Yan immediately took a step back and bowed in salute: "Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Yao felt kind when he saw Qi Yan, but Qi Yan's sudden salute to him surprised him a lot, but remembering that Mo Feng respected him very much, he called each Mr. Jiang respectfully, he was actually not used to being called Treating him like this made him even more at a loss. He waved his hands and said, "You don't have to do this, just call me by my name."

Qi Yan said in his heart: Listen to other people's opinions, the master still wants to marry you, who dares to call your name?

"By the way, can I continue to practice swords with you?" Jiang Yao looked at him with burning eyes, "You haven't come back a few days ago, but I asked the pavilion master, and he said that as long as you agree."

Qi Yan: "..."

What is the master doing?Is this going to throw trouble at him?

He didn't know whether he should refuse or agree. If he refused, he would show Jiang Yao's face, and he had no reason to refuse if the pavilion master agreed, but if he agreed, he was afraid that the master would settle accounts with him. It was inevitable that he would accidentally get hurt. What if he hurt Jiang Yao?Is it the kind that will die?

"I think this matter..." Qi Yan said with difficulty, "Why don't you ask the master what he means?"

Jiang Yao frowned and said, "But Master Hou said that I can do whatever I want."

"Oh...that's all right." Qi Yan accepted his fate and made up his mind to find an unedged sword to practice with Jiang Yao, preferably a wooden sword, and everything will be fine.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yao happily came to Qi Yan to practice swords. He had been practicing swords with Qi Yan when he was still in the dark pavilion. He was also very happy to meet someone with exquisite swordsmanship, and the two of them practiced for a while. There is a tacit understanding, and they can learn from each other's strengths to make up for their weaknesses, which is much more useful than practicing alone.

It's just that today he saw that Qi Yan didn't use his own sword, but took an unedged sword, and realized something, went to the side to take Qi Yan's sword back and gave it to him again, saying: "Use your own sword , I’m not from the Dark Pavilion now, and you don’t have to accompany me to practice swords. There’s no reason why you can’t use a sharpened sword. I use a real sword. You don’t have to worry about hurting me, even if you hurt me, it’s fine , how can you not get hurt when you practice swords?"

Qi Yan also saw that he had a good temper, so he simply said to him directly: "You have an unusual status now, and if I hurt you, it is equivalent to hurting the master, and it must not be like this."

Of course Jiang Yao understood the reason, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "But I don't like everyone treating me like this."

It's not that he feels that his status is low and that he doesn't deserve the respect of others, but that he clearly knows that everyone's respect for him comes from Xiao Yin, and it's because he is Xiao Yin's person that they treat him like this , as if he is Xiao Yin's vassal, without Xiao Yin he is still nothing.

Xiao Yin asked him to do what he wanted to do, to do what he liked, but he really didn't have anything he wanted to do and liked. The only thing he could do was to practice swords, but now it seems that practicing swords has become less so. Happy, others still don't really think that he is good at swordsmanship.

In the end, he didn't insist on letting Qi Yan use his sword back, and he didn't want Qi Yan to be embarrassed because of this, but he also found an unedged sword, which was the same as Qi Yan's, so it was very fair .

After the practice, he turned his head and saw Xiao Yin, he was taken aback for a moment, Xiao Yin smiled at him, he ran over, took a breath, and said, "Why is Lord Hou here?"

"It's over?" Xiao Yin held his hand, "Let's go back."

Jiang Yao nodded, and followed Xiao Yin out of the dark pavilion. On the way, he saw that Xiao Yin was always silent, thinking that Xiao Yin didn't like him coming to the dark pavilion, and observed Xiao Yin's expression repeatedly, until Xiao Yin also noticed his scrutiny. Glancing at him, he immediately turned his eyes away subconsciously in surprise.

Xiao Yin said helplessly: "You can say whatever you want without looking at my face."

Jiang Yao bit his lip and asked, "Master Hou, don't you want me to go to the dark pavilion? Are you like Qi Yan and the others... afraid that I will get hurt?"

"I'm afraid you'll get hurt, but I won't stop you from doing what you want." Xiao Yin squeezed his hand, "Go as you like, just be careful."

Jiang Yao heaved a sigh of relief, kept silent, and said again: "Then...can Master Hou tell them not to be so alienated from me, I...don't like this."

Xiao Yin smiled and said: "I can't do this, they see you as if they see me, how can they not respect you?"

Jiang Yao lowered his head, Xiao Yin saw that his expression was gloomy, and was about to say something, he said again: "Master Hou, I heard that the dark pavilion is going to build a hidden pile in Changzhou, specializing in information, and the owner of the pavilion has been talking to you recently Those who discuss the matter, can I... can I try?"

Xiao Yin suppressed his smile and looked at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to say this, he was stunned for a while and said: "You don't want to stay in the Hou's mansion? Is there something wrong with me? Tell me, I ..."

"No." Although Jiang Yao would still be cautious in front of Xiao Yin many times, the time spent together has made him dare to say more about his own thoughts. Today he has also thought about it over and over again, and these words have been played in his heart countless times. I am no longer afraid to say it, "Master Hou, you are very kind to me. Even A Xuan has never taken care of me like this since I was a child. I am very grateful to you. It's just that I can't find what I want to do and like. , if I stay in the Hou Mansion every day like now, I will... feel uncomfortable, and feel that I will become your trouble and burden one day, and I don't like Qi Yan's attitude towards me, they don't really respect me My identity, but because of you. I want to be with Lord Hou for the rest of my life, so I want to be useful to Lord Hou, and I also want people around me not to regard me as your vassal. Other I am not very good at doing things. I should be able to do the work of the secret guard well. I have been exposed to a lot of information investigation, collection and sorting in the Jiang family and the Soul Eater Pavilion before. It is just that I am not very good at dealing with people, but I can Xue, I want to do this well for Lord Hou. Can Lord Hou let me try? "

Xiao Yin was stunned in place, but what Jiang Yao said made him suddenly realize that Jiang Yao was really not happy these days, and he also realized a fundamental problem in getting along with Jiang Yao, that is, Jiang Yao's Worrying about gains and losses actually comes from lack of self-confidence.

Jiang Yao feels that he can't do anything well and can't be liked by others. The two need to get along better and be as close as a couple. The most important thing is to let Jiang Yao find what he really wants to do. Only by doing, can he have self-confidence and let him know that he is equal to him.

He didn't know how to solve this matter all the time. He originally thought that time would solve everything, and it was always okay to take it slowly, but now Jiang Yao took the initiative to mention something that he wanted to do and believed that he could do it well.

"Then you will be separated from me." Xiao Yin sighed, "I am a bit reluctant."

"Changzhou is very close to Runzhou. One day's trip is enough. If Lord Hou..." Jiang Yao was a little shy and didn't say specifically, "I can come back right away."

"It's okay, I can go see you." Xiao Yin rubbed his earlobe twice, "I'm very happy that you can have something you want to do, and this is the first time you have asked me to do something. Of course I promise you."

In the past two days, he has indeed been discussing with Mo Feng about going to Changzhou to build an intelligence secret pile. At the beginning, Xiao Yin chose this place as a refuge from the world, and it was not suitable for inquiring information from all walks of life. However, Changzhou is close to Runzhou, but because of the smooth water and land, it has become a place where business travelers gather. It is several times more prosperous than Runzhou. Since it is a place of information, and it is close to Runzhou, it is convenient to transmit news, so Xiao Yin chose this place as the location of the intelligence pile early in the morning.

But after discussing with Mo Feng for several days, they couldn't choose a person who is suitable to leave Runzhou and go to Changzhou to be in charge. This person must be an extremely trusted confidant, and at the same time, he must be good at listening and handling information. It is best to be a secret guard Originally, Xiao Yin had paid attention to Qi Yan, but Mo Feng felt that Qi Yan was not decisive enough to handle things, and he was not suitable to be a talker, so he temporarily postponed the matter.

Now that Jiang Yao took the initiative to mention it, Xiao Yin thought about it carefully and felt that Jiang Yao was indeed an excellent candidate. Although Jiang Yao had never been the person in charge, Jiang Yao rarely hesitated in other aspects except for feelings. , simply and neatly, the most important thing is that he has complete trust in Jiang Yao, and he is most at ease in letting Jiang Yao go to Changzhou.

Jiang Yao thought for a while, and then said to Xiao Yin: "Qizhou is not far from Changzhou, if I don't understand anything, I can ask Ah Xuan..." But after thinking about it, this should be a confidential matter. The outsider couldn't say much, so he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Lord Hou, I won't talk more with Ah Xuan, don't worry, I will do well."

"It's okay, I don't intend to hide the fact that you are going to Changzhou from Jiang Xuan, besides, he will know sooner or later, and he should have sent someone to follow you secretly." Seeing him like this, Xiao Yin smiled deeper, "Do you want to see him?" He can go to him at any time, and he can say whatever he wants, if you go to Changzhou, you are the one in charge, and you can decide all matters big or small, and I won't interfere."

Jiang Yao had never been trusted so much before, and was a little nervous for a moment, feeling that he had been entrusted with a heavy burden, so he grabbed Xiao Yin's sleeve and shook it lightly, and said softly, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your trust."

Jiang Yao usually likes to do this action, it's his secret coquettish expression, but this person is shy and dare not do anything else, Xiao Yin raised his eyebrows and said, "Then how do you thank me? Didn't you show it at all?"

Jiang Yao stared at him blankly: "Master Hou wants... how can I thank you?"

Xiao Yin tapped his lips and said, "Kiss."

Jiang Yao's face turned red all of a sudden, and he quickly looked around. He couldn't see anyone in the bright place, and he didn't know the dark place for a while, and he couldn't calm down to listen carefully to see if there was a dark guard guarding the dark place, so he stood on tiptoe with a red face In the past, he pressed a kiss on Xiao Yin's lips, and was about to shrink back shyly, but Xiao Yin had already held the back of his head, turned to take the initiative, and kissed back forcefully, entangled his lips and tongue to prevent him from escaping.

He remembered that Gu Jinghong and Jiang Xuan would say they were taking advantage of him every time they saw Xiao Yin kissing him. He didn't understand why this was called taking advantage of him, but he thought unapologetically that he liked being taken advantage of, and he also kissed Xiao Yin , If so, did he also take advantage of Xiao Yin?
