Shadow Guard stand-in

In the spring of this year, He Jue was afraid that Jin Jiuye would be bored in the palace, so he ordered to prepare for the east tour.Take a boat along the Huaixi River to Daningfu, go south from Qinghe Port, inspect the Jiangnan Navy, and then return to Xijing by land.

Such tours can last for several months, and almost half of the Southern Tang Dynasty has been visited.

This was also He Jue's first and grandest tour since he ascended the throne. In the court and the cabinet, everyone attached great importance to it.

I have been tossing and preparing for it since the beginning of the year, and when the spring began in March, it was delayed for a few days due to the cold weather, and it was not until the beginning of April that I started walking.Fortunately, the waterway is fast and comfortable. As long as you don’t get seasick, life on the shore is no different.Within a month, they arrived at Daning Mansion.

Lin Chi and Gao Shanying were responsible for guarding the guards, and the Imperial Guards of the Gyeonggi Guards were accompanying them. Even Xuanyi Division dispatched many secret guards to hide and accompany the driver, or to check the situation in advance so that the royal driver would not be hindered.

As soon as they arrived at Daning Mansion, Gao Shanying ordered the whole team to be on alert and informed He Jue that pirates are rampant now. Daning Mansion is very close to the sea, especially at Qinghe Port, where many pirates are rampant.Because the navy of the Southern Tang Dynasty was not good at naval warfare, there was no way to subdue it for a while. This time, when the emperor drove into Daning Mansion, he was somewhat sweating in his heart, and only hoped that he could get through it safely.

He Jue didn't take it seriously. The wars he had experienced were not as simple as pirates. He climbed out of the deserted place and had already challenged the most extreme moments.Even now that the pirates are approaching him, he is fearless.

Therefore, when He Jue's imperial driver docked at Daning Mansion, he did not use Daning Mansion's navy. When he arrived at Qinghe Port, he purposely stopped the boat for a few days in order to watch a beautiful sunrise.

It wasn't until Lin Chi started to feel unstable, and he turned a corner to hint to leave, so he had to meet the pirates on a narrow road.

He Jue then asked him: "From the looks of it now, does it look like a fool?"

Lin Chi didn't have the guts of Jin Jiuye, so he naturally denied it a thousand times, and quickly said, "Don't dare."

He Jue felt bored, and went to talk to Jin Jiuye again.

Jin Jiuye didn't talk much, but after all, people like Bi Lin Chi had something interesting to say, and the two of them started to get bored in the room again after a while.

Lin Chi sighed, and got together with Gao Shanying, and the two complained to each other.

"Your Majesty's temperament has become more casual." Lin Chi couldn't help asking, "How did brother Gao deal with it when he took three thousand Jingji guards to Yumen Pass?"

"That's frightening too. I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen. At that time, I was young and bold, and Your Majesty was worried about His Royal Highness. How can a courtier not share your worries?" It's too bold.

But now he doesn't have the guts anymore, his beard has grown, and his mood has changed a lot.Xu Shi had been used to living a peaceful life for a few years, but he could no longer bear the pressure of threats from the dark.

"I'm old, I'm old." Gao Shanying untied a water bottle from behind, uncorked the bottle and took a sip.

Lin Chi heard about it, and hurriedly asked: "What are you drinking? Are you afraid of making mistakes?"

"Not at all. News came from Daning Mansion yesterday that they defeated the pirates in Qingkou. The opponent's vitality was seriously injured, and they will not come out to make trouble in a short time." The risk to the head will also invite He Jue away.

Naturally, He Jue also knew the news, so he didn't have any scruples, he just wanted to watch a beautiful sunrise with Jin Jiuye.

Lin Chi also agreed with Gao Shanying's words in his heart, and he still had a deeper level of confidence, "Actually, with the Lord Shadow Guard by His Majesty's side, even if there are thousands of troops, he can't hurt His Majesty at all."

"That's right, that's Lord Shadow Guard." Gao Shanying also recalled the situation at Yumen Pass, when they rushed into Calabash Valley for rescue, Jin Jiuye was so frightened by Jin Jiuye alone that hundreds of wolf smoke riders dared not take a step forward.

At that time, Jin Jiuye was at the end of his strength, he was so engrossed in front of his eyes that he couldn't even tell who was coming.His eyes were only fighting, only blood, and even His Majesty almost became the soul of Lord Shadow Guard's sword.

But for such a disabled person, the Wolf Smoke Rider was too intimidated to move rashly, and they confronted each other for a day and a night.

In the end Jin Jiuye survived until His Majesty went to rescue him. He was such a strong and fearless person.To this day, even if Gao Shanying recalled what he saw with his own eyes that night countless times, he still can't believe that such a person exists in the world.

But this person, with a confused look on his face, was abducted by his master to get off the royal boat. The two of them hid their identities and went to another cruise ship pretending to be ordinary sons.

"Today, I want to be an ordinary couple with you, wandering among the common people." He Jue smiled, and took Jin Jiuye's hand, "I have made inquiries in the past few days, and I will definitely see the day tonight." The location of our ship is too close to the inner harbor, Gao Shanying and his group are always worried about my safety. With them watching, our days out to play are always unhappy. This ship was chartered by the rich children of Daning Prefecture. Let Lin Jiyuan go to find a bargain, and there are not many people on board..."

"Master is still secretly envoy Lin Jiyuan?" Jin Jiuye expressed his astonishment, this kid was secretly working for He Jue, and he didn't even say a word.

"I wanted to give you a surprise, so naturally I can't tell you." He Jue heard what Jin Jiuye was thinking with one ear, and helped Lin Jiyuan escape the crime. The two entered a suite on the ship, comfortably Obediently waiting for the maid on the boat to deliver food.

"This boat is close to the sea, so it's definitely a good place to watch the sunrise." He Jue dragged Jin Jiuye to lie halfway in front of the window. Outside the window was the sea water, and the slowly sinking sunset looked like a monster.

The two stayed quietly for a while, and after the maid brought the food, they sat facing each other around the small table on the couch.

He Jue fed a piece of dried fruit to Jin Jiuye, "Is it sour?"

Jin Jiuye nodded, "A little bit."

"Then I won't eat it." He Jue took the piece he was going to eat in his hand and stuffed it into Jin Jiuye's mouth. Jin Jiuye didn't say anything, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.

He Jue drank the local specialty milk tea, "This tastes pretty good, would you like to try it?"

As he spoke, he handed the cup to Jin Jiuye's lips. The man bowed his head and took a sip. The milk flavor was strong, the tea flavor was not weak, and the sugar was just right. It was a taste that He Jue would like.

"It's been almost ten years. I just want to show you what the Southern Tang Dynasty looks like now."

Jin Jiuye thought back on his journey. Although the common people don't wear gold and silver to enjoy luxury, they are still relatively rich, and there is no problem with food and clothing.

"Thinking about the later period of the first emperor's reign, the chaos and disputes between the five kings continued, and in addition to the famine in the past few years, there were some who changed their sons to eat." He Jue mentioned these, all feeling sad, "It's lucky to have you, otherwise I How can you have so much energy to clean up the court? But you have given me so much bad reputation."

Jin Jiuye shook his head, "The subordinate is willing."

"At that time, there was no time to charge those traitors with a good reputation, so we could only cut through the mess quickly, and let Xuanyi Secretary go out to avoid the process of Dali Temple. For this reason, you were also plotted by many parties, and you did not show it on the bright side. There is no dew in the mountains, but I know how dangerous the fight in the dark is. In the first two years, your injuries didn't get better, and the time you were hit by a witch's gu was caused by not being aware of the seriousness of your injuries."

Jin Jiuye shook his head again, "It's okay, it's all over."

"I also felt sorry for you back then, but there was no other way. The imperial power was unstable, and our lives were in danger." He Jue got up and sat aside with Jin Jiuye. He rubbed the calluses on the man's hands, "You accompany me With me, I have crossed mountains of swords and seas of fire, and gone through hardships and obstacles, now it is time to take a look at this wonderful river and mountain with me."

"My Lord Shadow Guard."

"My Royal Highness the Queen."

Jin Jiuye responded one by one, and He Jue's voice was lingering, little by little, just wanting to rub this man into his heart, and they kissed and embraced each other under the afterglow of the setting sun.

It seems that all good things are already behind us and within reach.

……

As night falls, it seems that only the sound of sea water and the howling of sea wind can be heard around.

When no one noticed, black figures climbed onto the big ship from different places.

"Boss, I have already inquired about it. This cruise ship was contracted by a few rich men. Today's trip is also for fun. There are no sailors on board, and money is like a pocket, and it is easy to get."

The boss hummed in a deep voice, "That's good, this time I was beaten to pieces by the officers and soldiers, and I really lack supplies, so I can't miss this fat fish again."

"Brothers are all ready." Xiao Luoluo's voice was full of excitement, and he was gearing up with all the brothers.

"Those rich men are all cowards. When they met us, they didn't even dare to shout loudly. They just knelt down and begged for mercy. This time we took it by surprise and made a lot of money."

After saying this, several people naturally agreed, and their leader waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to speak softly.

"Try not to offend the officers and soldiers. Now that we have lost manpower, if the officers and soldiers hold a grudge against this cruise ship and insist on killing us all, I am afraid that life will be difficult in the future." He looks big and thick, but his mind is delicate.

"Use some smoke to stun them, and take away the money. If you kill someone and alarm the officers and soldiers, this year will be difficult."

"It shouldn't matter if you kill a lot of people, right?"

The pirate leader had never been so wronged before, he didn't even kill a single person, so he naturally refused to shrink back like this, and said: "Enough is enough, don't make a big fuss, the main thing is money, take it away. There will be more in the future." It’s an opportunity to settle accounts with them, why rush at this moment? Send an order to the brothers, do you understand?”

"Yes." The group of pirates who robbed in the dark approached the guest rooms on the ship one by one without a sound.

"Master, there is movement outside..." Jin Jiuye's voice came intermittently in the night.

He Jue grabbed Jin Jiuye's arm, and said, "At this time, you still have to think about other things. It seems that I am not working hard enough."

Two or three pirates approached a guest room, and someone heard a sound coming from inside, "Boss, the people in this room are still awake."

"Hurry up and faint with smoke." The leader of the sea bandits ordered indifferently.

The man came closer, and suddenly showed a meaningful smile, "Boss, you are doing that kind of thing. Listening to this sound, isn't it too ecstasy?"

The pirate leader listened attentively for a moment, then slapped the man on the head, "Hurry up and don't disturb them."

"It made me very angry." The man took out a cigarette from his arms, and just about to light it, he had a bad idea, "Boss, you said that it doesn't matter if you kill one or two, the brothers may not be happy for a long time, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity?" ..."

The leader of the pirates didn't want to be troublesome at first, but seeing that several people were eager to try, he nodded acquiescingly.

Immediately afterwards, the man kicked open the door——

He Jue stretched out his hand and pulled a piece of clothing, covering the two of them almost in the blink of an eye, but Jin Jiuye was faster than him.

The man got off the bed expressionlessly. He had already put on a black coat and held the eagle-patterned dagger in his hand. Like a god of death, he walked towards the pirates step by step.

"It's two men!" Before the man had time to say more information, a cold light flashed, his neck was cut by a sharp knife, spurting out a column of blood, and then fell to the ground abruptly.Jin Jiuye kicked him out of the door, and the body hit the pirate leader in front of him.

The pirate leader exclaimed in surprise, "You!"

Frightened, he was the first to realize the opponent's power, and retreated subconsciously, but it was too late.Before he moved his feet, Jin Jiuye was already in front of him.

He was only a little better than his brother, and saw a black flying eagle, and then his throat was cut, and he could no longer make a sound.

The rest of the people were solved in one move. He Jue lay on the bed and looked at Jin Jiuye who was holding a knife at the door quietly, with a smile on his lips.

"Brother Ye, hurry up, I can't bear it."

Jin Jiuye glanced back sideways, nodded slightly, "Yes, master."

The rest of the pirates were attracted by the movement here, and saw that their brothers were all killed, and some were still struggling on the ground, and they wanted to come forward to rescue them before they breathed their last breath.

But this is simply sending his own head to the hands of the God of Killing, and it doesn't take a few knives to shoot and fall, and corpses are everywhere outside the house.

Jin Jiuye went back to the house, closed the door, and isolated everything from the outside, only the smell of blood wafted through.

He wiped the eagle-patterned dagger on his hand with his black coat, and walked to the bed. He Jue held Jin Jiuye, with a slight force, the clothes fell off, and the man fell on top of him.

"continue."

"...Master~" the man's voice softened.

He Jue smiled and said, "Speak up and call me by my name, okay?"

"He, he... No..." Jin Jiuye paused for a moment, and then said a sentence completely, "Subordinates can't call the master's name."

"Then I will be called Zhen Liulang."

After a long time, Jin Jiuye's voice sounded out in a breathless manner.

"...Rokuro."

It was about to light up, and the fish-belly white just happened to be seen outside the window.Not long after, a red sun rose slowly from the sea level.

He Jue played with Jin Jiuye's sweaty hair and asked, "Is the sunrise beautiful?"

Jin Jiuye leaned on He Jue's chest, looked at it for a while, and then said, "It's beautiful."

"Stupid." He Jue pinched Jin Jiuye's nose, "Do you think it's ordinary and nothing to be beautiful about?"

Jin Jiuye shook his head, "No."

"With master, everything is beautiful."

He Jue's heart softened, he couldn't think of anything but Jin Jiuye's lips, and kissed them without hesitation.

Brother Ye, my brother Ye.
