Shadow Guard stand-in

A vigorous figure climbed over the palace wall, and before the palace people who carried the lanterns noticed, flew over the eaves and walls, passed two palaces, and then bypassed a corner door, and fell lightly from the beam, and landed outside a window.

There was still a bloody smell on his body, and the air around him seemed to be condensed with a dangerous breath.

"Master, this subordinate is back."

There was only one person in the hall, "Come in."

A gust of wind blew past, and the guards on patrol only smelled a bloody smell, and before they had time to react, the man in black who was around the corner had already disappeared out of the window.

"It's not quite right..." The newly promoted guard muttered softly.

"Boss, why do I feel that someone has entered the palace?"

The head of the guard glanced at the new recruit, "What's the matter, does it smell?"

"No, I just didn't see the shadow, boss. This is the Hall of Qinzheng, and behind it is the Nuan Pavilion where His Majesty lives. If there is any good or bad, our heads will be killed..." He had just been promoted from the outer imperial guards. Arriving at Habayashi, this is the time to perform well.

"Why don't we check it out, and we'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!" He suggested cautiously, eager to try again, his eyes shining brightly.

The leader of the guards didn't even bother to give him a look, and walked forward without squinting, "I just came in, and I can smell it, so I'm pretty smart. But all the soldiers under my hands are smart, let's see Did you seniors make any movement?"

The guards took a serious look at the colleagues around them, and saw that they all kept their eyes fixed, as if the bloody smell that flashed just now had never appeared.

He was puzzled, but he was not stupid, so he asked quickly: "Please enlighten me, boss."

The leader of the guards said: "That is the shadow guard of the Xuanyi Division has returned."

"Xuan...Xuanyi Division?" The guard seemed to be frightened by something, "Is that Lord Shadow Guard?"

The leader of the guards gave the guards a sideways look, and said with a heavy word, "That's the Lord Shadow Guard."

The guard gulped, and after a long silence, he couldn't help being curious, and asked again: "Your subordinate heard that Mr. Shadow Guard came without a trace, how could he easily miss his whereabouts?"

"What's the matter? Do you really think you're too capable?" The head of the guards sneered coldly, "That's what Lord Shadow Guard told us, Lu Xin'er. If you want to talk about real kung fu, you don't even know how you died right now."

"But..." the guard hesitated and said, "I have another question."

The head of the guard was impatient, "Ask."

The guard said: "If it's not Lord Shadow Guard next time, what should we do?"

The head of the guards glanced at him again, "Good question, but do you think there is Lord Shadow Guard around, who would dare to break into the palace without eyes?"

The guard was stunned for a moment, not wanting to understand.

A brother who was traveling with him patted him on the shoulder, "Recruit, you still have to practice."

Inside the Qinzheng Hall.

Jin Jiuye bowed his head and knelt in front of He Jue, "Master, the assassination case of King Li has been concluded."

He Jue hummed, "The killer is very cunning, are you injured?"

"It's okay, the corpse was handed over to Xuanyi Division." Jin Jiuye saw some clues from He Jue's uninterested tone, "Master, is there something on your mind?"

He Jue sighed, put down the imperial edict in his hand, walked up to Jin Jiuye from behind the desk, and helped him up from the ground, "I understand what it means to be a lonely person..."

Jin Jiuye paused and asked, "Is it related to Mr. Qi?"

He Jue sighed: "In the few days you've been away, Qi Lezhi is engaged to Zhao's daughter, and they are going to get married soon."

"Which Zhao's daughter?"

He Jue said: "Who else can there be? It's his childhood sweetheart Zhao Yao, my cute little cousin!"

When Jin Jiuye heard the news, he was silent. If it was someone else, he could still tie him up at night. If he was gone, how difficult would it be to ruin the marriage?

But at present, Princess Zhao is the eldest princess's heart, not to mention that he can't be touched by a Xuanyi secretary, even His Majesty can't act rashly.

He Jue was bitter in his heart. Since he took the throne, he has been diligent and conscientious. The only thing that went out of his way was the reform of the draft. After the ancestral etiquette and the disputes of the officials, he tried his best to set a precedent that men can enter the palace.

Fortunately, today's literati are romantic, and celebrities are also self-proclaimed. This incident has been going on for more than half a year, but it has come to fruition.

A new edict was promulgated just the day before yesterday, waiting for the Qiqiao Festival to be over, and the palace will organize the autumn election in a big way, but who would have thought that the person who was thinking about it would get married in the blink of an eye.

Still without warning.

He Jue was caught off guard and flustered, holding the new edict for a whole day, not knowing what to do for a while.

"I went to see Qi Lezhi yesterday, and after a lot of insinuation, I realized that his thoughts on Zhao Yao are true. The three of us have been together for so many years, why did I understand it at this moment? Then what should I do?" ?”

He Jue was so depressed that he didn't even bother to listen to the details of the assassination of King Li.

"Jiu Ye, you have been by my side since childhood. Twenty years have passed, and I will not hide anything from you." He Jue walked to the front of the palace and ordered the servants outside to prepare drinks, "You are my brother. I thought about Qi Lezhi on the first day, and you are the only person who knows... until now, I can't let it go, but I'm not an unscrupulous villain, he and Zhao Yao fall in love, and I only have My heartfelt blessings, it's just... this makes me feel extremely uncomfortable."

"Come and have a drink with me."

The palace man brought two jugs of wine, seeing Jin Jiuye in the palace, smelling blood on the tip of his nose, his body became more stooped and trembling.

This is the rumored omnipotent, invincible, and murderous Lord Shadow Guard!

Every time Lord Shadow Guard returns to the palace, His Majesty will always ask for two jugs of wine to drink, and this time is no exception, so the wine in Qinzheng Palace is also prepared at any time, and it will be delivered soon.

He Jue took it in person, but did not let Mr. Shadow Guard do it.

The palace servants were secretly startled, and were sent out by He Jue.

Then He Jue took the tray and found a random place to sit on, "Sit."

The two got closer, and He Jue frowned slightly, "The smell of blood on your body is also a bit strong, where is the injury?"

Jin Jiuye shook his head, "Master can think about it, it's naturally the best."

"There's no need to go back tonight. I'll stay in the Palace of Qinzheng. I'll show you your injuries." He Jue poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Jin Jiuye.

The two touched and drank.

"This subordinate should go back to the Xuanyi Division. It's against the rules to live in the Qinzheng Hall. If word spreads, the master will be criticized again."

He Jue smiled, and his tone was not good, "Those ministers are a little more relaxed, and they just stare at my diet and daily life all day long. They don't bother about state affairs, and they have really become rice moths!"

"The prosperity of the country and the people's safety are naturally a good thing." Jin Jiuye said, "The master is different now, it is good to be more cautious, and the subordinates must also abide by the rules, so as not to cause trouble for the master."

When He Jue heard this, he suddenly remembered the imperial edict on the desk, "Forget it, today is really different. For Qi Lezhi, I have been fighting with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty for more than half a year. Everyone in the world knows what I like. Girl, if you still stay in Qinzheng Hall, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you."

Jin Jiuye quickly said: "This is not what this subordinate meant."

He Jue waved his hand, "It doesn't have to be like this between you and me, I naturally understand what you're thinking, but if it's not good for you, I should avoid it as much as possible."

As he spoke, he drank two more cups in a row, feeling a heavy depression welling up in his heart, and he couldn't breathe because of the feeling of broken love.

"If I were a foolish king, I would immediately make a decree to break up the marriage of those two people and tie Qi Lezhi into the palace, which would be my wish come true." He Jue smiled wryly and shook his head, "But I can't do that." Such things, Qi Lezhi is a talent, if he is not willing, if I tie him up blindly, it will destroy the pillars of the country. Moreover, Zhao Yao and my blood are thicker than water, the eldest princess treats me as if she is her own, and the two of them If we share the same mind, I really have no reason to beat the mandarin duck!"

Jin Jiuye drank two cups with He Jue, "Master is feeling bored, why don't you go to the Martial Arts Field and practice with your subordinates twice?"

He Jue hadn't exercised for a long time, when he heard this, his eyes paused for a moment, and then he said, "Go after drinking this cup, don't be merciful."

martial arts arena.

The Habayashi guards guarded the corners of the surrounding area, and everyone held a torch in their hands, illuminating the huge martial arts arena brightly.

The guards who patrolled in the morning were also here, and he graciously stuck to the head of the guards, "Boss, I heard that the Lord Shadow Guard is with His Majesty. You should take a closer look at such a grand event."

The head of the guard gave him a white look, "If you can see clearly, then open your dog's eyes and take a closer look. If you can learn some powerful moves, you should take my seat."

The guard repeatedly said no, and hurriedly said that he didn't have that kind of thought.

While talking, He Jue and Jin Jiuye had already entered the martial arts arena.

That black robe smelled of blood, and the sense of intimidation made the guards stunned for a moment, and the leader of the guards said coldly: "Are you scared to pee?"

The guard came back to his senses, "I just feel that Mr. Shadow Guard's face has softened a bit, he is a handsome man."

"What's the matter, do you still dare to make arrangements for Lord Shadow Guard? Want to join the Xuanyi Department for a squat? There is no return to that place!"

The guard chuckled and said, "It's the first time I see Mr. Shadow Guard, I'm just astonished."

"That's not a show. I don't know whether his face is tender or handsome. I only know that his subordinates have lost their lives. He has followed His Majesty for 20 years. His seniority is older than yours. You can't call him your ancestor." Pass."

The guard's face was burning hot from the scolding, so he could only smile in embarrassment.

At this time, Jin Jiuye and He Jue had already put their hands together, and the guard asked, "Boss, do you think Lord Shadow Guard will give way to His Majesty?"

The leader of the guards kept his eyes on the move, and secretly called out "Hello" before replying through a gap: "One day you will be able to do the job of Lord Shadow Guard. But it is impossible in this life, and it is impossible for us." .”

In the arena, Jin Jiuye kicked He Jue's shoulder. He Jue grabbed Jin Jiuye's ankle and used his strength to fight back. Jin Jiuye twisted his ankles and the two fell to the ground.

Air combat has become ground grappling.

The guards looked at the two people who were entangled with each other in secret contests, and suddenly felt blessed, "Boss, you said that your majesty has been making a fuss about choosing a male concubine for half a year. Could it be that the Lord Shadow Guard is going to be selected into the palace?"

When the leader of the guards heard this, his mind went blank for a moment, and he was speechless for a while.

He has been working in the palace for several years. Long before His Majesty came to the throne, he had seen the power of Lord Shadow Guard. The two fell in love with each other and often fell asleep together.

At first, he didn't think much about it, he only thought that the rumored Lord Shadow Guard had a special status, powerful means, and was valued by the emperor.

Now that he is called by the recruits, and thinking about all the past, it seems that Lord Shadow Guard and His Majesty are really close, is there really an affair?

"Shut up!" The leader of the guards yelled at the man, "Master Shadow Guard is something you can arrange, I really want to go to the Xuanyi Division, and don't drag me into the water!"

The guards said yes, and sneaked away from the head of the guards, looking for a colleague who was a good friend on weekdays to complain, and finally wondered: "I heard what the boss said, as if His Majesty can arrange, but the Lord Shadow Guard can't? It sounds like Lord Shadow Guard seems to be more expensive than His Majesty."

The colleague warned the guards earnestly, "You have just arrived in the inner court and don't understand the rules of the palace. If you make up a few sentences, Your Majesty is kind-hearted and busy, so it's fine to listen to it. The Secretary is not a soft-hearted place, and secondly, His Majesty will not let you go."

Come on, when the new guard heard this, what did he not understand?Immediately fell silent, from then on he only worshiped Jin Jiuye as a god, and never dared to discuss it any more.
