6. This heart breaks into the dust

It was just a few words of his own, and Pei Nianyu saw this person who had always been calm and steady like a rock lose his composure like this, and he didn't know what it was like, he just felt his heart melt into a soft ball.

He stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the water stains around his eyes with his sleeve, not paying any attention to the slight dust stains on his sleeve:

"Okay, okay, what's the big deal."

Obviously Lou Yefeng was thirty years old, but for some reason, Pei Nianyu, it was very rare to see Lou Yefeng showing such a fragile side, so he couldn't help but use a coaxing tone.

When Lou Yefeng saw that his master was wiping his sleeves, he was a little panicked, he quickly shrank back to avoid it, and then stopped his gaffe just now.

Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, Pei Nianyu no longer looked at him, but lowered his head and neatly released the shackles on his hands and feet.

However, when he threw the heavy chains aside, he saw the situation exposed under the chains. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart—the flesh and flesh of the man's wrists were covered by the chains and ropes.It had been tied for too long, and it had already been worn into a blur, and the red flesh and blood were so abruptly displayed in front of his eyes.

He held Lou Yefeng's palm and subconsciously asked:

"Does it hurt...?"

However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Pei Nianyu felt that his question was really hypocritical.They have been worn down to such a state, how could it not hurt, but this question asked Lou Yefeng how to answer.

As expected, Lou Yefeng naturally shook his head in denial.

"You hurt..."

At this time, Pei Nianyu is no longer just the Prince Pei who lived in ancient times. He has integrated the memories of later generations. When he saw the bloody wound, his first reaction was——the shackles are made of iron.There are many rust spots on it.Lou Yefeng's hand was scratched by this thing, and he hasn't treated the wound for so long...

Will there be many bacteria?What if the wound becomes infected?

Pei Nianyu was taken aback, and quickly raised his head to stroke his forehead. As expected, it was hot.

"you……"

How can there be no fever if the wound is not properly treated.

Pei Nianyu frowned deeply, and there was some complaint in his words:

"Why is He Qi so ruthless? Have you been wearing this thing for a month...why..."

Lou Yefeng pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and said:

"Master, I'm sorry for my subordinate's extra words... I can't blame him for this matter. All the crimes committed by my subordinates are serious crimes. It is the rule to wear weapons in prison. As a deacon of the criminal hall, he only acts according to the law. Master......don't make things difficult for him."

Lou Yefeng originally intended to say that he was to blame for himself, and the master doesn't need to worry about it, but when Pei Nianyu heard him excuse He Qi so repeatedly, he felt even more distressed for no reason, and said rather angrily:

"Nonsense, since you don't have martial arts, you can't even run away, why should he hold you like this..."

In fact, the pain of flesh and blood is second to none. As a shadow guard, he has suffered a lot of injuries over the years.Moreover, although He Qi's methods are powerful, he is very disciplined in doing things, so he will not be ruthless secretly.

Pei Nianyu mainly felt sorry for him... he was humiliated for no reason for a month.

Seeing Lou Yefeng's appearance right now, he felt a little panicked for no reason.

"He Qi...how did he hurt you?"

Lou Yefeng's heart warmed when he heard that his master cared about him.It's just that for things like torture, wounds will naturally be left on the whole body, and he didn't mention it at all, only saying:

"Actually, He Qi has shown mercy. He knows that I have lost all my martial arts skills, so the methods used on me are not even 30% of his abilities. Master, don't blame him."

Pei Nianyu saw that he had excused He Qi so much, so he didn't bother to continue to refute him, and thought to himself when he went back to the house, sooner or later I would have to take off your clothes and apply medicine to you, and then I would know how much you were hurt.

Pei Nianyu stopped talking, but took out a clean handkerchief from his bosom, thought for a while, tried to mobilize the internal force in his body, and with a strong hand, he tore the handkerchief in two with a snort.

Then, while holding Lou Yefeng's palm, he gently wrapped the handkerchief around his skinless wrist.

"Master...Master?"

Lou Yefeng was so shocked that he forgot to move, he just stared blankly at the master's gentle expression, his mind was in a mess, and he was stunned for a moment.

After a while, Pei Nianyu finished bandaging him, but when he looked up, he saw him staring at him blankly, and asked with a smile:

"Why are you in a daze?"

Lou Yefeng lowered his head and said:

"Subordinate... There is something unclear in this subordinate's mind."

Pei Nianyu stopped his movements, feeling a little surprised.

He has been with Lou Yefeng for so many years, and he has rarely seen Lou Yefeng so cautious even when asking questions.

In the past few years in the palace, the situation was tense, and the surrounding situation was changing rapidly. The communication between them was simple and straightforward, and they would never hide from each other.

Pei Nianyu thought to himself, maybe he was frightened by being imprisoned for a month.So he said softly:

"Just ask."

Lou Yefeng considered the words for a while, then secretly raised his eyes, and said:

"Subordinate... I don't know why the master is working so hard to make up for his subordinate's crimes?"

Lou Yefeng thought that he was destined to die, and the ten-year friendship between master and servant was ruined by himself.Article 8 of the Shadow Guard Regulations states that merit can be used to pay off crimes. Of course, he knows that, but he never dared to think about this ending.

Because the premise of paying off the crime is - if the owner allows it.

If it is some innocuous and minor fault, it is very common for the master not to punish in order to win people's hearts by showing kindness.

But those mistakes of his... no matter which one is a big taboo of being a shadow guard.

The shadow guard acted beyond his authority and hurt the master, which is essentially like a general who holds military power committing rebellion.Which dynasty and generation of emperors would say after their courtiers rebelled, I will forgive you for your crime of rebellion because of your meritorious service before?

Isn't this a big joke in the world.

But it happened to be here with the master... such a thing that was determined to be impossible, turned out to be true.

Pei Nianyu looked up at him and said with a smile:

"Why, you are not allowed to use the regulations written in black and white in your shadow guard regulations?"

"No, it's not... subordinate..."

Pei Nianyu sighed.He grew up in a deep palace, he had watched many relationships between monarchs and ministers, he was also very familiar with the thoughts of those superiors, how could he not know what Lou Yefeng was thinking?

But now he is just a prince, a idle king who writes poems and paints every day.He is not Pei Niancheng, he doesn't need to face a bunch of courtiers with different thoughts every day, and he doesn't need to go back and forth to decide whether to treat each subordinate with a different attitude.

——He doesn't need to treat Lou Yefeng, a loyal subordinate who has been with him for ten years, with that kind of thought.

It's not that he doesn't know the so-called mind tricks of the superiors, but he just doesn't want to use them.

Regardless of whether he was in the past or the future, he valued affection far more than power. What's more, after he merged the memories of the later generations, the thoughts of the monarchs and ministers he had been educated have long since melted without a trace.The concept of matters related to the subject has become much milder.

Therefore, even though Lou Yefeng was so bold as to challenge his authority as the master, Pei Nianyu was still... not angry at all.

He didn't even have a real grudge in his heart, so why punish him with severe punishment.

He is really angry.Being a human being for two lifetimes, coupled with the disappearance of the worry of his life, he just wants to cherish the hard-won peaceful life in front of him, and cherish this person who would rather put himself in such a situation and treat him well... the sincere person, where is it?Are you in the mood to care about these?

Pei Nianyu sighed for a long time, and said:

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

Lou Yefeng was stunned: "Please tell the master..."

"It's actually very simple. The truth is... I just can't bear you. You have been with me for ten years, Ye Feng, and your heart is full of flesh. You said you would die to apologize, but how could I be willing to... let you die?"Woolen cloth?"

Lou Yefeng was shocked when he heard the words, he raised his head and looked at his master in disbelief, and saw that the master's warm eyes were full of trust and closeness, not only the same as before, but even more... pity.

However, when he met his master's gaze, he felt extremely uncomfortable like being pricked by needles.He moved his throat a few times, and then said in a hoarse voice with a slight trembling:

"To be so valued by the master... the subordinates are extremely grateful. But, but the subordinates... are already useless people, and can no longer serve the master. The master... no matter how important he is, I'm afraid it is... useless."

"..."

Pei Nianyu was stunned for a moment, as if his heart was being bitten by something, and there was a moment of tender pity.

When he said he was reluctant, he clearly meant that he was reluctant to part with the friendship between the two of them.But Lou Yefeng directly understood it as... reluctant to part with his efforts for him?

He finally understood why he felt a little strange all the time today.Ever since he came to see Lou Yefeng, he felt that his words and deeds were extremely restrained, different from the past.

But Lou Yefeng used to...it was obviously not like this.

Pei Nianyu couldn't help but countless pictures flashed before his eyes——

Ten years ago, Lou Yefeng was picked by himself in the shadow guard camp. At the age of 20, his eyes were calm and sharp, and when he knelt down to recognize his master, his tone was firm, like a sword ready to go.The sword is only waiting for the master to swing it to cut the world.

Seven years ago, Lou Yefeng followed him as the Cloud Province in Saibei, and hunted a giant black mink in that bitterly cold place.Pei Nianyu ordered someone to cut the sable fur into a cloak, and gave him a peerless shadowless sword along with it.

Lou Yefeng neatly tied on the sable cloak, and stood in the thick black of the wilderness wind in Saibei, standing behind him with eagle-like ferocity and loyalty to protect him.

Lou Yefeng four years ago had already lost his sharpness after being tempered by swords and blood, but his methods became more and more proficient day by day.In the deep palace, he discussed with him one by one plan in a deep voice, dismantling the opponent's murderous intentions step by step.

Pei Nianyu couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

The previous Lou Yefeng, although respectful to him, had a kind of arrogance that was neither humble nor overbearing in his actions, like a clanging long sword, with awe-inspiring sword intent, unparalleled in the world.

But... now the Lou Yefeng in front of him, who has passed his thirties, is kneeling on the ground with a humble and cautious tone, speaking words like self-abandonment.

Pei Nianyu looked at the obedient curve of his back when he kowtowed, and felt that the once invincible sword intent on his body had unknowingly... quietly broken.
