    51. Talking without saying anything

    Pei Nianyu looked at the innocent little shadow guard with a somewhat childish face... at a loss...with an expression of not knowing what happened, his already a little angry mood suddenly became even more unhappy, and he had many bad thoughts in an instant.

    He stepped forward, tapped his shoulder with a fan, and said slowly:

    "What's your name?"

    The little shadow guard didn't understand the situation at all, and upon hearing the words, he thought it was an honor for the master to ask his name alone, so he said respectfully:

    "Return to the master, Chu Ming is my subordinate."

    "Chu Ming, Chu Ming... Lou Yefeng is really a good subordinate. Did I ask you to write back to him?"

    Pei Nianyu put on a straight face.

    After all, he is also a serious nobleman of the Tian family. Although he has not often shown off for many years, his aura can still be used when it is needed.

    The shadow guard suddenly trembled when he saw his usually gentle and gentle master suddenly change his face.

    It's just that he has only been in the job for a year. Unlike those shadow guards who have been around for a long time, he broke away from Lou Yefeng's rigorous training two months ago.Ye Feng's words still carry a lot of weight in his heart.

    ——On the contrary, it was the master who had never been in close contact with him and seemed very gentle. In his heart, he was not as scary as Lou Yefeng.

    So the shadow guard named Chu Ming said out of his mind:

    "Master, Professor Lou is also... worried about your safety..."

    "..."

    The other seven shadow guards all shrank their necks and buried their heads lower, for fear that their master would notice them and suffer disaster.

    Pei Nianyu was immediately enraged by Chu Ming's unintentional words. Thinking that he lost his master's aura and majesty today, and gave Lou Yefeng several hours of martial arts training for no reason, it was all because of Lou Yefeng's ""Worrying about your safety", the already awkward heart became even more uncomfortable.

    However, other people also came to speak for Ye Feng.So he immediately saw that the little shadow guard was very unpleasant, and snorted coldly, he had to get back the majesty of being the master from him:

    "So, do you listen to your building commander, or mine?"

    This time Chu Ming finally realized that something was wrong, and the little shadow guard who had a premonition that he was about to bring trouble to his Commander Lou quickly admitted his mistake:

    "The subordinate dare not! The subordinate naturally listens to the master. If the subordinate makes a slip of the tongue, please punish the master."

    The respectful and humble expressions and actions are just like the standard requirements in the training camp.

    Seeing the shadow guard obediently, Pei Nianyu felt better.

    At the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw some ordinary people in the nearby shops watching the excitement, as if they were waiting for him to teach his subordinates a lesson.Pei Nianyu's face darkened slightly, he put his fan back, turned around with his hands behind his back, and said:

    "Get up first, don't let others see the joke outside."

    "yes."

    Speaking of which, Pei Nianyu walked to the restaurant, and looked intently at the imposing plaque raised high by the restaurant:

    "Drunk Immortal building..."

    Pei Nianyu lowered his head and muttered to himself:

    "Why does this name look so familiar..."

    However, he didn't remember where they looked familiar, but he didn't care, after all, there were eight or not ten restaurants called Drunk Immortal building in Capital City...not the same one.This name is really a bit of a bad street.

    He snapped the folding fan in his hand, and said to the shadow guards behind him:

    "Go, go in and have a look."

    The shop waiter at the door of the waiter obviously witnessed Pei Nianyu's arrogance on the street just now, and the eight black-clothed men who looked like his subordinates were so powerful in martial arts, so he knew they might be some great (not to be provoked) figures in the world,Immediately nodded and bowed to meet him.

    ——At the same time, spat in heart: In the winter, still carry a fan with me, and that fan is just made of some kind of bamboo and wood that can’t name. It’s not a weapon at a glance. People in Jianghu nowadays love to be arty...

    It was almost noon at this time, this restaurant is located in the bustling area of Capital City, many idle rich children and people from the rivers and lakes who have no business often come here for banquets, the building is almost full, and the meeting is bustling.

    As soon as Pei Nianyu stepped into the door, the eight shadow guards followed behind him respectfully, blocking the light at the door, and the originally noisy voices in the hall on the first floor suddenly subsided.

    Many people in the hall looked at them and glanced at Pei Nianyu, but they couldn't see anything.Then he looked at the eight shadow guards again, and after seeing their neat black outfits, they looked at each other a few times. The noise in the restaurant suddenly became quiet like boiling water with ice cubes thrown in it.

    As if there was a tacit understanding, none of them dared to look at them after that, and they all ate in silence with their heads down, pretending not to see them.

    Pei Nianyu's sharp eyes also saw that some well-informed people must have recognized the identity of the Shadow Guard, and secretly hid the weapons that were already at their side under the table, with the appearance of "I am a good citizen".

    After laughing for a moment, Pei Nianyu leaped towards the stairs and went directly to the second floor:

    "Find a private room."

    The waiter on the second floor looked embarrassed:

    "Young master, the private room on the second floor is already full...Look..."

    After finishing speaking, the guy laughed again and again.

    Pei Nian had a quiet personality, not to mention that he was seated in the hall on the first floor, and the eight shadow guards he brought with him were unavoidably eye-catching. He didn't like being watched by others for dinner.

    But if he asked others to set up a table for him, he seldom disturbed the people, so naturally he couldn't do such a thing.

    "...Then there's no need to go to the first floor..."

    Before Pei Nianyu finished speaking, someone in a noisy cubicle in the corner looked back.Then suddenly there were a few "crash" sounds of chairs being dragged, and several people stood up from their seats, the first person threw a silver ingot to the waiter, and then went downstairs one by one.

    With a serious face, he didn't look sideways, as if he didn't dare to take another look at Pei Nianyu.

    As soon as the front foot left here, a guy came up to clean the table immediately on the back foot.

    Pei Nianyu: "..."

    ——No, I really didn't mean that.

    "Why do you hide from you like meeting a plague god..."

    Pei Nianyu muttered, he went out in casual clothes, logically no one knew that he was the most honorable prince in the dynasty.That could only be because of the shadow guard behind him.

    However, Pei Nianyu looked at the eight shadow guards behind him with stern faces, silent but amazing momentum, no matter how they looked, they all looked like "I'm going to tear down your restaurant to make me unhappy", and finally shut up.

    There was a slightly older shadow guard who had been with Pei Nianyu for many years, Xu Shi was already familiar with the master, so he explained with a light smile:

    "Master, don't care. Those gangsters may have had some criminal records before, and they were named by the shadow guards; or they once provoked people who shouldn't be provoked, and committed crimes in the hands of other princes' shadow guards...…meeting us is not like a mouse meeting a cat."

    As soon as cats were mentioned, Pei Nianyu thought of the little black that Lou Yefeng raised, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Ye Feng's little black is really fierce and wild, every time I go to tease itEveryone has to be bitten..."

    No one dared to answer these words, the shadow guard behind him secretly whispered to his colleagues:

    "I think the master wants our old building to be as fierce as Xiao Hei... Take a bite or something, tsk tsk."

    Naturally, Pei Nianyu heard it clearly, and couldn't help but blushed slightly, turned around and hit him on the head with a fan:

    "Just your skin! Let Ye Feng know that you arranged him like this, and wait to see how he deals with you when you go back."

    "...Master forgives the sin, the master forgives the sin."

    After chatting for a while, when everything was cleared up, nine people entered the cubicle, and Pei Nianyu was the only one seated.

    He picked up a roll of bamboo slips on the table and spread them out, on which were written recipes in standard official fonts.He also wants to see what dishes are served in this famous Capital City restaurant, after all, the food street he came out to pick up before gave him some surprises.

    However, he was soon disappointed. There are many dishes on the menu, and the names of the dishes are mainly elegant, which is the saying... just looking at the names of the dishes, don't know what they are.

    So Pei Nianyu casually threw the recipe to the guy next to him:

    "You all have a serving of the signature dishes here."

    While muttering in his heart that he is a fat sheep, the guy nodded and bowed:

    "Okay, honorable guest, please wait a moment, and I will serve you right away."

    After finishing speaking, he retreated easily, and then closed the screen at the door of the cubicle knowingly and wittily, blocking the sight of others.

    The shadow guards in the cubicle have already moved quickly, checking the environment of the house, whether there are hidden weapons in the structure of the house, and whether there are any abnormalities in the potted flowers and trees.The last thing is to check the tableware and disinfect it. The shadow guards carry "medical alcohol" with them - something that Pei Niancheng created in the past two years, which has become very popular.

    After finishing his work, Chu Ming suddenly took the initiative to ask for instructions:

    "Master, this subordinate should go to the back kitchen of the Drunk Immortal building to check again..."

    Pei Nianyu squinted his eyes, obviously he wanted to inform Ye Feng, right?He looked at the eight shadow guards standing beside him, and said:

    "No need, none of you are allowed to go, sit down."

    Chu Ming lowered his head in embarrassment, and carefully sat down with the others, and at the same time lit a candle for his beloved Commander Lou in his heart.

    While waiting for the dishes, Pei Nianyu held the teacup and looked out of the window on the second floor bored.

    Looking over the fence outside the window, happened to see a few gangsters who were frightened by the shadow guards from the restaurant just now, walking on the street with dignified or indignant expressions, and left in a hurry.

    Pei Nianyu couldn't help being taken aback, and the movements of his hands stopped for a moment.

    I don't know what kind of festivals these Jianghu people have with the royal shadow guards... But the Jianghu and the temples have always been at odds, and there are often dudes among the royal family and nobles, and the knights of the Jianghu are always inseparable from hot-blooded youths.The "origin" of this has been going on for many years, and it is not even necessary to go into detail about what festivals are.

    Pei Nianyu didn't want to gossip, but... what if these people from the Jianghu ran into Lou Yefeng who was looking for him?!

    Although Lou Yefeng didn't wear the uniform of a shadow guard, he could easily be recognized as a shadow guard by his speech and demeanor.He has not recovered his martial arts at this time, if he meets those unreasonable Jianghu people...

    Thinking of this, Pei Nianyu's brows suddenly frowned, anxiety quickly gathered in his eyes, and even his breath became a little unsteady.

    Ye Feng couldn't find himself, and he couldn't keep up with Qinggong, so he must be very anxious.If he was asking around on the street...if he happened to be overheard by those people...

    Pei Nianyu was upset, his hands tightened, and the teacup in his hand was almost crushed by him.

    At the same time, he felt a little regretful. Why did he get angry with him just now and leave him alone? Isn't he the one who is worried here now?

    ... But if he was asked to go back to Ye Feng, he would feel a little embarrassed.In things like the Cold War, whoever surrenders first loses.He is the master, every time the two of them have a little friction, he is always caught, no matter what.

    The expression on his face changed several times in a short while, anxious and hesitant for a while, his face was really wonderful.

    Seeing his master's ecstasy, the slightly older shadow guard knew that the master must be worried about Lou Yefeng, so he probed softly and asked half a sentence:

    "Master, do you need a subordinate...?"

    ——Go and bring Lou Yefeng here.

    He didn't finish the second half of the sentence, in order to avoid the master himself from slapping his face on the order "don't report the news" that he just issued, which can be said to be very considerate.But Pei Nianyu knew what he meant, nodded and said:

    "Well, let's go."

    ——In case something happens to him, I don't worry.

    "yes."

    The shadow guard took orders and was just about to go out.However, at this moment, the first dish was served, which interrupted Pei Nianyu's thoughts.

    "Guest officer, your flowers are blooming and rich——"

    Swinging back the waiter in the shop, Pei Nianyu cheered up and looked at the so-called "Flowers Bloom Wealth" on the table——

    On a huge ornate porcelain plate, there are sliced diamond-shaped exotic vegetables "carrot slices" that are popular in Da Jing around the circle, and in the middle is a large lump of golden yellow, greasy, and crumbled...…scrambled eggs.

    The flowers are rich and prosperous, okay, red, red, yellow and yellow look really festive.

    Pei Nianyu took a look and fell silent.

    This thing...can be eaten?

    The nine people looked at each other in blank dismay.But don't know which shadow guard at this time said something out of nowhere:

    "...Who will test the poison...?"

    "..."

    The previous shadow guard who said he was going to find Lou Yefeng flipped out of the window and left a sentence:

    "Your subordinates are on a mission, so let's withdraw first!"

    The remaining six people all looked at Chu Ming.

    Pei Nianyu coughed twice:

    "You should have been punished if you obeyed the order indiscriminately. How about this, you will be in charge of testing the dishes today, and when I get back, I will tell Commander He that you will be exempted from the punishment, how about it?"

    Chu Ming wanted to cry immediately but had no tears.

    He felt...he might as well go back and find He Qi to be whipped.

    …………………

    Here, the shadow guard who came to find Lou Yefeng was named Wei Heng.As soon as he flew out of the window, he heard his master's instructions to Chu Ming, and he felt glad that he slipped away quickly.

    At the same time, he didn't delay in finding someone.Yunqi Qinggong wandered around the roofs of several nearby blocks, his sharp eyes swept over all the crowds and low houses, and he saw Lou Yefeng's location not long after.

    At that time, Lou Yefeng was indeed as Pei Nianyu thought, anxiously looking for the direction of his master.

    When Wei Heng saw him, Lou Yefeng was looking around, he was always calm and didn't even intend to hide the anxiety on his face.It was clearly still winter, but the cold sweat dripped down Lou Yefeng's cheeks frequently, showing his nervousness and helplessness.

    Wei Heng landed in front of him and saluted unobtrusively:

    "Teacher Lou."

    "Wei Heng! Where is the master, where is Chu Ming?"

    "Master Lou, don't worry, the master is in the restaurant in front. Chu Ming...Chu Ming was arrested by the master for disobeying his master's orders, and he is currently listening to the master's training..."

    Lou Yefeng's chest tightened suddenly.

    Not only because his casual order involved other people, but also because... since the master has arrested Chu Ming to discipline him, it shows that the master is still very angry.

    So he hastily asked:

    "Then the master asked you to come...?"

    Wei Heng thought for a while, then thought again, and suddenly said:

    "...Master asked me to take you back."

    This is true.Although Pei Nianyu asked him to take Lou Yefeng back because he was worried about Lou Yefeng, but the master didn't make it clear, how can a subordinate guess wildly, right?

    Lou Yefeng was stunned for a moment, thinking that the master was training Chu Ming, obviously thinking that the master was going to arrest him and give him a training.

    "Did the master say something?"

    "The master didn't say anything, but when I came out, the master seemed to be in a bad mood."

    ——This is indeed true, after all, no one will be in a good mood after watching such a dish...

    After Lou Yefeng heard this, his eyes darkened instantly.

    However, he thought about it again, if the master angered himself because of his disrespect, it would be much better than leaving himself alone without saying a word.If the master wants to punish himself... he should have been punished for what he did just now, threatening the master with the master's love for him.

    Then he took a deep breath, pinched his fingers on the palm of his hand, and said:

    "It's not too late, I'll go back with you."

    "Ok."

    Wei Heng glanced sideways at Lou Yefeng's expression, and naturally knew that he wanted to make a mistake.But... he didn't say a single lie.

    ——old building Ah, being a subordinate can only help you so far.

    The author has something to say:

    Pei Nianyu: Let me see which cutie is so honored to test the poison for me today...

    Chu Ming: The prince is so scary...
