52. Cherish you and know the painstaking people

In the compartment of the Drunk Immortal building here, Pei Nianyu was looking curiously at Chu Ming who was filling his mouth with vegetables.

Chu Ming regarded death as home, and after eating the spoonful of "Flowers Blooming Wealth", his facial features immediately wrinkled into a ball——

The egg was full of fishy smell, and there was a lot of oil in it. Even though the shadow guards had been trained to resist unpleasant smells, they still couldn't bear it and almost vomited it out.

However, after all, he couldn't be disrespectful in front of his master, so Chu Ming suppressed the pain and swallowed, trying his best to keep his facial features as solemn and dignified as a shadow guard - except that his face had turned green.

After Chu Ming conscientiously used the ability he had learned and trained to distinguish the things in his mouth, and then used his internal energy to find that there was no toxicity, he opened his mouth with difficulty:

"My master, there is nothing unusual about this dish."

To be honest, after the reform of the big kitchen in the palace, they, the shadow guards, ate exquisite and delicious dishes every day. In addition to the taste being raised, their subtle distinctions between taste and food were also unconsciously improved.Quite a lot.

After all, Pei Nianyu's taste is light and delicate. Compared with the junk food with thick oil and red sauce that the shadow guards ate before, the seasoning is much more delicate and rich.

Therefore, once he got used to the delicious taste, Chu Ming felt that he couldn't bear to eat the heavy oil and salty food outside.

"……Oh."

Pei Nianyu nodded, stretched out his chopsticks, stopped on top of the dishes, thought for a while, and retracted the chopsticks again.After repeating this several times, finally plucked up the courage to pick up a little bit of...the egg powder with the tip of the chopsticks.

Pei Nianyu picked up the chopsticks and tasted them on the tip of his tongue.

"..."

This dish is worthy of its name, rich and rich. The thick lard of the stir-fry is perfectly mixed with the smell of undercooked eggs, just like the unmodified and vulgar red and purple peonies placed together, two words, unpalatable.

He scolded the cook a hundred times in his heart, and at the same time he felt 120% guilty.In order to make up for the torture Chu Ming suffered just now, Pei Nianyu suddenly smiled:

"Cough...that, it's quite delicious, come and eat it!"

The other six shadow guards all raised their heads and looked at the master expressionlessly.

Pei Nianyu looked at the pitiful and accusing eyes of these shadow guards, and knew that his order was really too embarrassing. Fortunately, the second dish was served at this time.

"Guest officer, your 'gathering of heroes'—"

A gathering of talents, a fancy mountain poultry platter.

Pei Nianyu took a closer look and saw that there were more than a dozen kinds of meat strips of mountain birds placed in the middle of the huge porcelain plate with lotus leaves, arranged in the shape of a chrysanthemum.The meat is grilled without exception, and after it is cooked, it is brushed with a dark brown sauce of unknown flavor.

Pei Nianyu tried his best to distinguish among the dark chrysanthemums for a long time, but he couldn't tell which one was made of meat.

"Hey, this... You see, this is also a special dish of his Drunk Immortal building, right? Maybe this one is better than the last one, right? Chu Ming has already tried the poison, let's see who will come next..."

The faces of the remaining six shadow guards all became bitter, and they didn't expect to be able to hide past the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day.They don't have Lou Yefeng's status, and their orders cannot be disobeyed. Although this order is very cheating, they have to follow the order to taste the food, and they all look as if they are about to go to the execution hall to receive punishment.

But at this time, a shadow guard suddenly turned his wrist, and a wooden boomerang appeared in his hand, and said at the same time:

"The master didn't decide who to test the poison, did he? Or is it still the old rule, the winner is determined by hidden weapons, and whoever loses will test the poison."

The wooden boomerang in his hand was carried by the shadow guards and was used to practice hidden weapon aiming. It couldn't hurt people, and it could be retracted freely, which was more convenient.

Pei Nianyu raised his eyebrows.It seems that "hidden weapons determine the outcome" seems to be an ancient tradition in Shadow Guard?

The shadow guard next to him snorted coldly:

"It should be like this, who is afraid of your failure."

The interpersonal relationship among the shadow guards is extremely simple, that is, whoever has the highest ability and who has made the most contributions will be the boss.Otherwise, you can't even convince the crowd, so how can you control the shadow guards and prohibit them?

This is also the reason why Lou Yefeng still has a lot of prestige even though he left office.

Therefore, the habit of solving problems with martial arts has been passed down from generation to generation.

Hearing the sudden surge of fighting spirit in their voices, Pei Nianyu became even more interested.

As soon as the words were finished, the six black shadows in the room suddenly used lightness kung fu, tossing and turning in the small compartment, avoiding the hidden weapons from their colleagues.At the same time, the boomerangs in his hand shot one by one, hitting anyone.

A burst of almost imperceptible swishing sounds echoed in the room, and the figures of the six fell to the ground with relaxed expressions.

——Chu Ming was the only one standing there alone, catching two boomerangs with hidden weapons in his hands, but the third one fell on him because he had no hands to catch it. Obviously, he was the only one among the seven who lostof.

I don't know who chuckled.

Pei Nianyu: "..."

He slapped the table angrily:

"Why are you all running around! You see, Chu Ming is the only one who is obedient!"

One of the shadow guards widened Mengmeng's eyes, and innocently complained: "Master, knowing that the enemy is going to beat you, why do you still stand up and let the enemy beat you? This is not included in the training of your subordinates! He is obviously too bad!"

In a group that respects martial arts, Cai will be beaten obediently.

These words are really very reasonable, Chu Ming burst into tears and ate this "gathering of heroes".

The next dish comes up, the second round.

There was another whizzing sound of hidden weapons flying by and the sound of wind blowing at the hem of his clothes. This time Chu Ming learned his lesson and followed suit with lightness kungfu to avoid it.

When the dust settled, there were marks from three hidden weapons on Chu Ming's body.

"..."

Pei Nianyu slapped the table angrily:

"Why are the six of you beating Chu Ming? Are you ganging up on bullying? Isn't it fair?"

Another shadow guard with a low voice said slowly:

"Master, on the battlefield against the enemy, the enemy will not talk about fairness with us. Don't say that six people fight one, and sixty people fight one. Then we have to continue."

Then he suddenly turned to Chu Ming:

"If you can't catch it, you will die. After all, you are still too good."

Chu Ming expressed that he had learned the lesson profoundly, and ate the third course in tears.

In the next round, Chu Ming was mentally prepared in advance, and fought back desperately, using a hidden weapon stunt, and using a boomerang to block five incoming boomerangs.

The last one left... first flew towards the wall in the opposite direction. Chu Ming thought it was not coming towards him, so he didn't care, but then bounced off the wall, turned back, and hit him.

A shadow guard had an indifferent voice and casually taught:

"You think the enemy is ahead of time, but you don't know that the enemy is also anticipating you. The mind is not careful enough, it's really too bad."

Pei Nianyu was dumbfounded. This was the first time he had seen the shadow guards can make so many tricks with their hidden weapons.

The dishes were served one after another like flowing water, and Chu Ming lost the first few dishes.

However, after all, it is not an ordinary person who can be a shadow guard. After losing a few times, Chu Ming quickly became more responsive.Others saw that the easy target was not easy to pinch, so they all changed their targets and calculated others.In this way, after that, everyone will win or lose.

Until Chu Ming lost again, he had to try the poison obediently, but he said "huh?" in surprise.

Pei Nianyu looked at the "Lin Deer with Plum Blossom", several small ribs were stacked on the plate.

"Is this dish delicious?"

"Yes, this subordinate thinks...it has a different flavor!"

Pei Nianyu stretched out his chopsticks to taste:

"Isn't this the sweet and sour plum short ribs?"

It is indeed well done, and has obtained the essence of this dish for later generations.

It's no wonder that this dish is the only dish on the table that can still be eaten. After the ribs are cut into small pieces and boiled, they are poured with thick sour plum sauce, which happens to be the classic sweet and sour seasoning.It is not oily or greasy, and it is delicious with the sweet and sour fragrance of plums.

Chu Ming was tortured for a whole day, and finally he was lucky, and when it was his turn to have a really good dish, he thought of rewarding his stomach.After testing the poison is not enough, continue to stretch the chopsticks to pick up the small ribs.

Seeing this, the rest of the shadow guards originally wanted to grab some food, but now they are not ashamed.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of heavy and hurried footsteps outside the cubicle, and the shadow guard inside the room seemed calm, but actually tensed up silently.

The next moment, the screen was pushed away, Wei Heng came in first and joined the team, and then Lou Yefeng's anxious face came into view.

Pei Nianyu looked at his sweat-wet hair at the temples, and couldn't help being startled.

Lou Yefeng had preconceived ideas before, knowing that he might have offended his master, so he was already prepared to be angry.

Seeing Chu Ming standing next to his master at this time, although Chu Ming turned his back to him and couldn't see his expression, he didn't hesitate, knelt down to his master, and bowed respectfully:

"Master, the subordinates were disrespectful before, please punish them."

"Ye Feng!"

Pei Nianyu was startled, his family Ye Feng had made an apology before, and that was when he faced him alone.

In front of all his colleagues, Pei Nianyu never made him kneel down.He kept conveying a message to the other shadow guards that Lou Yefeng was someone he trusted.

Therefore, he has always been careful not to lose his prestige in front of his subordinates.

Sure enough, the shadow guards around him also looked slightly surprised, obviously very uncomfortable.

Pei Nianyu didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and quickly stretched out his hand to pull him, but when he lifted it, he didn't move at all.

This guy...is he still using his internal strength?

Although with Pei Nianyu's current internal strength, if he wanted to use his internal strength to help someone, he would definitely not fail to do so.But...he doesn't know this kind of exercise method of letting the air flow lift people up.

So he could only look at Lou Yefeng in surprise again and continued:

"Secondly, subordinates shouldn't be in a hurry to command the shadow guards casually. This matter is the fault of the subordinates. If the master wants to blame, the subordinates can take the blame. I also hope that the master will not reprimand Chu Ming..."

"Ye Feng, you..."

Pei Nianyu couldn't help but feel extremely distressed watching him stubbornly trying to finish his confession from beginning to end.At this moment, he suddenly reacted and turned his head to glance at the other people.

Those few old shadow guards understood, and immediately pretended not to see, one kite turned over and flew out of the window one after another, like black bats one after another.

Only the last shadow guard saw that Chu Ming didn't know what happened, and before he left, he had a rib stuffed in his mouth, so he couldn't help but hate iron for not becoming steel, and tugged at his sleeve:

"What to eat, let's go!"

In an instant, there were only the two of them left in the room.

Pei Nianyu finally pulled him up, stood up and pulled him into his arms, holding his hand and saying:

"Ye Feng, why are you doing this..."

He knelt at his feet in front of his former subordinates, didn't he feel humiliated?

Lou Yefeng pursed his lips, looking at his master with worry in his eyes:

"I, I shouldn't make the master angry..."

Pei Nianyu looked at his sincere eyes, and pressed a kiss on his cheek with distress:

"Okay, okay, I'm not angry anymore."

Then he sighed again:

"I'm sorry, Ye Feng, I apologize. I made you worry. I was just a little angry at you for ignoring me so coldly at first, so I wanted to teach you a little lesson. It's nothing else, so don't overthink it."

Lou Yefeng shook his head:

"Master, it's fine if you don't get angry, that's the blessing of your subordinates."

"It's you, why do you have to be in front of them..."

Lou Yefeng sighed:

"What's the point of me kneeling down on you? It's okay. I was in a hurry before, so I gave the order to the shadow guard casually. After I gave it, I knew it was wrong. The previous one is fine, this is for the shadow guard.Orders are the more serious fault."

"Habits are hard to change. Now that I am not the commander, I must not let them develop the habit of still obeying my orders. The shadow guards only need a commander who gives orders. If this habit is not changed, trouble will arise sooner or later."

"The subordinates were punished for this reason this time, and they will not dare to listen to my command next time, otherwise they will implicate me again. Therefore, I have to adopt this attitude to remind them."

Pei Nianyu was silent for a long time.

"You are...well-intentioned."

Lou Yefeng looked at the master's face, and suddenly asked cautiously:

"Is the master's previous promise... still count?"

This naturally means that the master promised to practice martial arts for two more hours a day.

Pei Nianyu sighed deeply.Of course he knew that his family, Ye Feng, wanted to blackmail him with all kinds of forceful methods, but it was just to make him practice martial arts more and to think about his own safety.

What's more... He was only angry once, and Ye Feng was so disturbed that he even went so far as to make such an apology to calm his anger.

For his own martial arts... he also took great pains.

Thinking of this, Pei Nianyu couldn't help feeling a little sour in his chest, he was grateful for Lou Yefeng's love for him, and felt that he could no longer let Ye Feng's martial arts teachings down.So he shook his skeletal hand, nodded, and said softly:

"Nature counts."

There was no one else in the cubicle, so in order to appease Lou Yefeng, Pei Nianyu naturally took the opportunity to start eating all kinds of tofu again.Lou Yefeng was completely docile at this time, he just obediently let his master do what he wanted, but his face turned reddish after a while.

Pei Nianyu looked at Lou Yefeng who had softened so much, and knew he was in a happy mood. He bit his ear lightly, then straightened up, and said very solemnly:

"From tomorrow onwards, I will practice martial arts. Ye Feng, you have to be strict with me. Everything will be supervised by you. I will practice the martial arts that you wrote for me earlier."

Lou Yefeng was very moved:

"Yes, master."

——Although not long after, Pei Nianyu soon regretted his words.However, after all, it was a bullshit that he personally boasted, so he had no choice but to finish this b with tears in his eyes...

………………

There is a lot of tenderness and sweetness in this compartment.On the other side, after the eight shadow guards flew out of the window, they searched for their spots with ease, concealed, observed, and guarded.

Wei Heng intentionally stayed with Chu Ming.

After Chu Ming gnawed on the spare rib, he spit it out, and the bone drew an arc and fell precisely into the garbage dump in the backyard of the hotel.

"Brother Wei, what do you want me to do?"

"Well. Let me ask you, you have seen everything about Master and Teacher Lou today, right?"

"……yes."

"Then what do you understand?"

Chu Ming was at a loss: "What do you need to understand, little brother?"

"For example... next time if Professor Lou goes against the master's order again, who do you listen to?"

Chu Ming straightened his face:

"Of course I listen to the master. If I made a mistake today, my subordinates will never make it again!"

Wei Heng had a heartbroken expression on his face: "Children can't be taught!"

"...What does this mean?"

"Let me tell you this, you have to obey your master in action, and the shadow guards can't disobey orders. But if the master asks you, when you answer with your mouth, you still have to stand on Lou Jiaoxi's side, understand?"

Chu Ming shrank his head:

"Then if Lou Jiaoxi finds out, wouldn't Lou Jiaoxi be implicated again to plead guilty to the master..."

"Hmph, then you can see that the master really punished the old building? And just now you saw the way the master looked at him?"

"........."

"got it?"

Chu Ming was silent for a while, "Understood".

"Then next time Master and Professor Lou quarrel again, and one of them ignores the other, do you know what to do?"

Chu Ming rolled his eyes:

"I went to teach Professor Lou that the master is very angry with you, and he was so angry that he didn't eat for a whole day."

"A child can be taught!"

The author has something to say:

Wei Heng: The most important thing about shadow guards is their stance.

Chu Ming: Yes, stand.

Wei Heng: Then do you know what the most fundamental position of Shadow Guard is?

Chu Ming: Tell me about it.

Wei Heng: That is, resolutely maintain the emotional relationship between the master and Mr. Lou.They had a fight, and we're going to help facilitate a reconciliation...

Chu Ming: Got it.
