I don't know if it's because of the arrival of spring, but it's always raining recently, Bai Fan feels that the number of earthworms has increased significantly, so he doesn't want to go out, sometimes he just remembers something and forgets to take it Now, I also directly ordered the Shadow Guard to go.

The speed of the shadow guard has always been astonishing, and the matter just ordered has now been presented in front of him. Bai Fan put down his pen and was about to pick up the document held by the shadow guard who was kneeling on one knee. However, he suddenly felt that the figure in front of him looked familiar, "Raise your head."

The silent figure paused, then raised his head obediently, revealing a resolute eyebrow.

"It's you." Bai Fan recognized it, this is the shadow guard who helped him block a sword last time. After recognizing who it was, the expression on Bai Fan's face softened a little, "Get up, can the last injury be healed?"

Seeing this, Bai Fan stretched out his hand to grab the shadow guard's arm and helped him up, "Don't be too polite, just get up." After helping the person up, Bai Fan's hand took advantage of the situation On his wrist, seeing the strong veins and steady inner breath, he nodded with satisfaction. It seems that the wound medicine he sent is indeed useful, and the injury has generally recovered.

Bai Fan looked at the shadow guard in front of him and vaguely remembered his name, "Ying Qi."

Ying Qi was shocked and raised her head, obviously not expecting the leader to remember his name.

"Shadow Seven." Bai Fan pondered for a while, "You can follow me in the future."

Ying Qi raised his head fiercely, unable to believe what he heard, or that the meaning he understood was the same as what the leader wanted to express.

"I just have a shortage of people around me. Would you like to leave the identity of the shadow guard and become my guard." Bai Fan continued.

Ying Qi suddenly felt a little dry in his throat, both excited and nervous. Although both the shadow guard and the guard are both protective of the leader, the difference in one word is a world of difference. Wei does not need to have family and friends, his only duty is to protect the leader. However, guards can walk in front of others, marry wives and have children. If they make great achievements in the future, they can also be rewarded with positions and enjoy their old age in peace.

Bai Fan looked at Ying Qi with a smile on his face, not worried about his reaction, because although the shadow guards are loyal, but no matter how loyal they are, they still long for a normal life, Ying Qi He blocked a sword for him, and he fulfilled his wish. After a long time, Bai Fan heard a low and trembling voice, "This subordinate is willing, thank you for your grace."

Bai Fan nodded. The more he looked at the people around him, the more satisfied he became. By the way, Yin Rui should be informed about this matter.

That night, Bai Fan mentioned this matter in a letter to Yin Rui, in which he used a lot of praise for Ying Qi and was full of praise.

Yin Rui looked gloomy after reading the letter. Yin Rui stared at Ying Qi with emotionless eyes, looking up and down, as if to see why this person deserves such praise.

Ying Qi has changed into a dark guard's black clothes, wearing a guard uniform, looking tall and heroic. He came to Yin Rui, knelt down on one knee, and said in a sonorous voice, "This subordinate sees the leader."

. Ying Qi felt a chill in her heart, and immediately began to think about whether she had done something wrong recently that made the sect leader unhappy, but after thinking about it, she didn't think of any clues, and even last night, the sect leader praised him.

I don't know how long I knelt, when Ying Qi started to feel his knees numb, finally came a cold voice from the top, "Get up."

Ying Qi breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and stood aside.

Next, Yin Rui ignored Ying Qi and started to deal with the internal affairs of the church and summoned the elders to deal with the internal affairs of the church in an orderly manner.

After a long time, Ying Qi quietly raised his head and glanced at Yin Rui. He always felt that today's leader was a little different from the previous two contacts. But Ying Qi didn't think much about it. He just thought that maybe the leader would be a little more serious when dealing with official business. He remembered that when he was secretly protecting the leader and never had contact with the leader, he rarely saw the leader's meeting. Laughing, Ying Qi was a little relieved.

As a guard, Ying Qi naturally follows the leader every day. Ying Qi works very hard and is very efficient, making Bai Fan increasingly valued, but Yin Rui looks at Bai Fan's side The closest pet is more and more unpleasant.

Yin Rui, without blinking his eyes, regarded himself, an elite dark guard, as worthless in his heart.

Ying Qi naturally didn't know the resentment in Yin Rui's heart, he just felt a chill on his body, the feeling that happened almost every day recently came again, he didn't dare to raise his head to face the Dingding The line of sight can only be lowered a little lower. Hopefully, it won't attract the attention of the leader, who has become increasingly moody these days.

But can Yin Rui not pay attention to him, that is naturally impossible, his eyes touched a cipher text on the desk, his eyebrows moved, and he quietly threw a token into the shadow In front of Qi, "hold this seat's warrant and go to Fengtang to get a cipher text marked with the second and fourth secrets and come back."

Shen Ning's atmosphere was broken, Ying Qi Da breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, my subordinates obey."

Ying Qi picked up the token on the ground and didn't dare to look down until she exited the door. It was indeed the leader's warrant. Ying Qi took this token and rushed to Fengtang . After arriving at Fengtang, Yingqi was stopped a hundred meters away. He took out his token and said, "On the order of the sect master, come to get the secret No. 24 ciphertext."

The two blocking people heard Ying Qi's words, looked at each other, put down the hand blocking Ying Qi, took the token and checked it carefully, the expressions on their faces have been added Si Heqi, one of them held the token and rushed to Ying Qiyi and clasped his fist, "Please wait here for a while, I'll go get the cipher text and come back." Fengtang is the intelligence organization of the Black Moon God Cult, except for the people in Fengtang and the leader I and others are not allowed to enter.

Ying Qi nodded, indicating that after she understood, she stood there and waited peacefully, just to get the ciphertext and hand it over to the leader as soon as possible.

But after Ying Qi waited for a while, he didn't wait for Fengtang's people to come back for a long time. Just when he was secretly doubtful, he suddenly realized that something was wrong around him. Hearing a loud shout from the surroundings, "Catch this spy." At the same time, a large net covered the sky, followed by a lot of masked people with daggers around, Ying Qi knew this costume, this is the unity of Fengtang Dressed, he shouted, "Wait, misunderstanding, I am the guard in front of the leader, and I came to get the cipher text on the order of the leader. I'm not a spy. I have the leader's warrant as proof."

Those people are obviously well versed in the formation of the encirclement, and after holding Ying Qi firmly, someone snorted, "Don't argue, the secret No. 2 and 4 cipher texts have already been taken by the sect master, how can it be? If you send someone to fetch it, it must be you, the spy, who stole the sect leader’s warrant and came to steal the ciphertext.”

Ying Qi struggled for a while, with a little disbelief in his eyes, but the serious looks in those people's eyes showed that the words were true, Ying Qi suddenly felt a little dry in his throat, and his chest seemed to be pressing A stone, he was silent for a moment, and said with difficulty, "This fact belongs to the leader's password, we are just acting on orders, whether this matter is true or false, you can ask the leader to verify."

Those people were unmoved by his words, and even sneered, "I will naturally ask the leader to verify the truth of this matter, but before that, you should stay in the execution hall. "

Ying Qi didn't struggle, let someone put him on a chain and take him to the execution hall. There was no expression on his face, but a heart touched by some kind of warmth not long ago was now Slowly sink.

The people of the dark guard have already experienced inhuman tempering, and they will not be afraid of any punishment.

, but he didn't even snort. The torturer licked his lips. He felt that he was already excited. He was about to take out the bottom of his press box and try it on this man. Someone came in and looked at him. The tough guy who had just come in for an hour was taken away, and the torturer sighed in disappointment, but he also knew that this guy was not one of those prisoners who stayed in the torture hall forever, otherwise no one would have notified him. Don't see blood when he is sentenced, he must be a little hidden. This unfortunate guy probably offended someone and was sent in for rectification.

From being sent in to being led out, Ying Qi was very calm, so calm that it was a little unusual, and the people who made Fengtang say that he was embarrassed and made a mistake were also a little embarrassed , The wise man stopped his mouth and sent the person back.

"

"Oh." Yin Rui didn't even glance at Ying Qi, continued to deal with the official documents on the table, and said calmly, "I forgot that the cipher text has been brought, it's hard work. You ran for nothing."

"Subordinates don't work hard. It is their duty to do things for the leader." Ying Qi lowered his head and said.

Yin Rui finally raised his head and glanced at Ying Qi, "You can understand this, it's good, go and rest."

Watching Ying Qi walk away slowly, Yin Rui squinted slightly, he was naturally not so kind, seeing that Ying Qi was unwell, so he let him go down to rest, Yin Guard's body recovery ability Very strong, he just wanted him to not let Fan see any clues after some rest.

…

"Hey, Mom, um, I'm going back today, I don't need to pick up the plane, an assistant will accompany me, um um, I'll be there in the afternoon, okay, goodbye." Chen has secured all the defenses of the entire villa, making sure that even if there is no one in the house and no fly will fly in, let Xiao Wang pick up the neatly packed luggage, and the three of them drive to the airport together.

After flying in the sky for a few hours, they finally returned to Z City. Although they have only been away for a few months, Bai Fan already misses a lot. Of course, he wants to live here. parents.

Xiao Wang and Xiao Chen went to the hotel, Bai Fan still came home alone, he didn't like taking people to his parents. After returning home, it was naturally a delicious meal, and then was driven to rest by Mother Bai. Bai Fan kept smiling and obedient. When he finally lay down on the bed, he felt really tired, so he went straight to sleep. This sleep, He fell asleep on Yin Rui's bed and woke up.

After reading the letter in the dark grid, Bai Fan got up and got dressed. After drinking a cup of tea, he picked up the documents on the desk to check, but when he looked at it, he always felt that there were few people around him. What happened? When he picked up the pen, he saw the dry inkstone, and he suddenly realized that he patted his head and called, "Ying Qi."

Being summoned, Ying Qi quickly appeared. He knelt on one knee on the ground, bowed his head and said, "I don't know what the sect master ordered."

"It's all right, you can help me research ink." One of Bai Fan's satisfactions with Ying Qi is his ink research skills, which are quiet and fast, and the ink produced But the shades are appropriate, neither too thick nor too light, and not too clumsy like a phoenix and occasionally splashing a few drops of ink.

Hearing Bai Fan's order, Ying Qi paused, hiding the complicated look in his eyes, replied in a low voice, then got up and stood at the table, studying ink for Bai Fan.

Ying Qi lowered his head and studied the ink meticulously, and when he looked down, he saw Bai Fan who was sitting in front of the desk correcting the official documents. , regarded as a confidant, and sometimes jokingly without caring. Yes, joking, he can be sure that the things during the day are not forgotten, but deliberately joking. He does not understand how a person can be so changeable.

Bai Fan was unaware of Ying Qi's complicated thoughts, he took a pen dipped in ink to annotate the official document, his expression was extremely focused. But at this moment, two dull coughs suddenly sounded in the house.

Bai Fan turned his head to look and saw that Ying Qi was already kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, "This subordinate is offended." Although he tried his best to endure when he spoke, he could not see the light from the shocking back. , it can also be seen that he is not easy now.

, but the incident in the punishment hall today brought out the injury all at once.

After listening to Ying Qi's words, Bai Fan immediately thought that this early spring night was cold and cold, Ying Qi was just recovering from a serious injury, and he was naturally weak. It was really inhumane to ask him to stand here every night. , Today, it actually caused him to have a cold. If it wasn't for this moment, he couldn't hold back the cough. With Ying Qi's silent temperament, he didn't know how long he would have to endure it. Thinking of this, Bai Fan felt even more guilty, he said, "Body It's important, you go back to rest tonight, I'll let others come here."

Ying Qi clutched his chest and said respectfully, "Xie Sect Master, this subordinate retire."

Ying Qi was about to leave, but suddenly heard a gentle voice, "Wait." Before he could react, he felt something warm wrapped around him, looked down, It turned out to be a white fox fur cloak. Ying Qi looked up in shock, only to see that it was the sect master who had taken off the piece that he was wearing.

"The night wind is cold and cold, put this on and go back." Bai Fan chongying Qi gently.

Ying Qi closed the cloak that was still warm on her body, and was stunned for a while before she said in a trance, "...Thank you for the gift of the leader."

He didn't know how he got out of the door, the warmth of the cloak became more obvious when the cold wind blew outside, but the emotions in his eyes were more complicated.
