89. Who is the lonely lover?

Since Li Han left Calm Heart Lake, he has been living in the guest house assigned to him by Pei Nianyu.

His small courtyard is also in the garden to the north of the palace, not far from Calm Heart Lake, so he heard a lot of gossip at that time.

Li Han wanted to talk to Lou Yefeng about this when he was looking for him to discuss moves and exercises, but as expected, a shadow guard came to invite him to go at night.

Li Han was hesitant at first that Lou Yefeng lives next to the prince, whether he used to be a bit inappropriate, but when he went out, he saw a figure by the lake practicing kung fu, but it wasn't Pei Nianyu, so he went there with confidence.Went to Lou Yefeng's residence.

When he opened the door, he saw Lou Yefeng's expression was slumped, he seemed to be in a daze, and finally he sighed in his heart.

The two of them have a good relationship, and they are both shadow guards. At this moment, there is nothing to hide, so he said bluntly:

"As a minister, Lou Yefeng, I'm sure you don't know, but I don't know what you think."

Lou Yefeng explained with some difficulty:

"My master... is really lazy in front of me. I just speak harshly, but it is useless."

Li Han shook his head, not agreeing at all:

"The prince refuses to practice martial arts, then you should think of other ways. How can you be like you, your master takes a step forward, and you have to force the prince to take a step back?"

Then he picked up the teapot, filled it up himself, paused, and said:

"I know you have always respected your master, but... you are not the only shadow guard in this mansion. No matter how small the palace is, your master is still the master of more than a hundred shadow guards, not just your master."

"It's a bit too much for you to make the prince so unable to step down in front of other shadow guards today. How will you let the prince be under control in the future? Let me put it more harshly. After that, these shadow guards...will listen to the prince or you?”

Lou Yefeng bowed his head in silence, Li Han saw him pondering, so he took a sip of hot tea.

It's rare to have such a leisurely mood... actually sit here and sip tea.Li Han was in a daze for a while, then came back to his senses, and finally said:

"It's inappropriate for the master to be weak and the minister to be strong. Don't you need me to remind you of this truth?"

Lou Yefeng sighed and said:

"Li Han, you are worrying too much. It's not that the master is weak, but the master... just let me go."

Of course he remembered clearly that when he angrily scolded his master this morning, in fact, he almost lost his momentum.At the same time, he naturally saw the doubt and disbelief in the master's eyes, but...

The master could stop him with a single word, but in the end he listened to Lou Yefeng's words and obediently stretched out his hand for him to punish.

His master...

Lou Yefeng felt sore, his master was so gentle and tolerant, he had been tolerant of all his misdeeds, he didn't even know where his master's bottom line was.

But such a master, now ignores him at all.

It's just that when he thought about the rapid progress of his master's learning of martial arts today, he finally felt that what he had done was still valuable.

"No, it's not about what you think, it's about what the other shadow guards think. The other shadow guards in your mansion will only think that you, the former commander, have stepped on the master's head... It's really a crime of disrespect.”

"Speaking of which, didn't you ask for punishment after today's martial arts practice? What did your master say?"

Lou Yefeng slammed the teacup on the ground, his eyebrows were all pulled together:

"This is my worry. If the master is willing to punish me, I really wish for it. It would be better if the punishment is heavier, and it can be seen by other shadow guards as a warning. But the master... heHe just ignored me, but he refused to punish me."

Li Han raised his eyes to look at him, then quickly retracted his gaze, with a hint of jealousy hidden in his eyes:

"Your master really loves you very much."

Lou Yefeng was silent, and after a while, he sighed leisurely:

"I'm a useless person, and I really don't know what is worthy of my master's mercy."

Li Han didn't dare to answer these words, and muddied them ambiguously:

"You and I can't know what the prince is thinking. But...how are you going to end this matter? You can't let your master not punish you, so you just have to muddle along like this?"

"Alas...Old He only listens to the master now, and the master doesn't approve it. It's useless for me to go around the master and ask for punishment."

Li Han is out of luck:

"Then you... Forget it, you can coax your master softly tomorrow. Take the initiative to lie low, at least show an attitude of apology, and your master may be able to calm down."

Unexpectedly, Lou Yefeng didn't answer the conversation immediately, but instead stared intently at a lone tea leaf floating in the teacup.

Li Han didn't make a sound to disturb him, but Lou Yefeng's eyes were three-point hesitant and seven-point tangled, and finally turned into firmness with a slightly painful color:

"...No, I'm not ready...to coax Master. I...will continue to maintain the same attitude towards Master until Master has learned all the twelve moves."

"...!"

Li Han looked up at him in shock from the cup of tea, as if to confirm that he was not joking.

The Shadow Guard, who has seen countless turmoil like him, was also stunned by Lou Yefeng's astonishing words at this moment.

"Lou Yefeng, are you fucking crazy?"

Li Han just felt that his brain was not enough. How could there be a shadow guard like Lou Yefeng in this world? He offended his master and didn't hurry to be obedient in order to extinguish his master's anger.The master is getting more and more angry?

All those shadow guards who dared to offend their master and make him angry in the previous dynasty all died, and their bones were thrown in the wilderness where no one knew.

And those deeds of being executed have already become taboo counter-examples that generations of teaching masters in the shadow guard camp have warned the young shadow guards, let them know their identities, so as not to end up with these shadow guards.

... However, Lou Yefeng had lived by his master's side for ten whole years, and nothing happened.

Lou Yefeng also knew that what he said was really shocking, so he explained:

"Master, he has never taken the initiative to practice martial arts. Today, master, he is so diligent, all because of... master, he is angry with me. Only by making master's temper difficult, can he continue to learn well and persevere.for a while."

"It's not that I want to make such a bad move, it's because I know my master too well. If my attitude softens a little, the master will make an inch of it. The master has always been angry and coquettish with me. I can't hold back my face., when the time comes, the master will definitely take the opportunity to practice less."

"If you practice less than an hour a day, you don't know when you will finish learning these twelve moves."

Then Lou Yefeng sighed a long time, his expression was obviously extremely uncomfortable:

"It's fine to let the master be angry with me all the time, or let the master practice more because of anger. If this is the case, I can finish my math in less than a month.

Lou Yefeng thought of the red palm of his master today, his eyes were full of distress at the moment.

Why didn't he want to kneel at his master's feet, sincerely admit his mistakes, tell his master his distress and intolerance, and even... hold his master in his arms, comforting all his grievances?

but……

As long as Lou Yefeng closes his eyes, the dagger that stabbed the host's shoulder at the palace banquet, and the bright red blood on the cold stone floor of the hall will appear in front of his eyes.

He thought to himself, the master is angry with me now, it is not a serious matter, but it is far better than the master being injured due to poor martial arts, and I can only watch helplessly.

Thinking like this, Lou Yefeng finally forced himself to give up all hesitation and intolerance, his eyes returned to his usual calmness.

Li Han was dumbfounded when he heard such reasons, and it took him a while to recover:

"...The rules of the shadow guards have really been eaten into the dog's belly by you. Look at this, you are not going to ask for punishment before the teaching is over?"

Lou Yefeng nodded lightly:

"Yes. If I insist on being punished, the punishment will be heavy, and the master will feel sorry for me. If the master comes to comfort me with a few words, I will not be able to calm down and let the master go to martial arts. Wouldn't it be a waste of success."

Li Han couldn't help being taken aback, thinking, "If the punishment is severe, the master must feel sorry for you? Are you so sure, Lou Yefeng?"

Then he thought again, maybe Lou Yefeng really has this kind of capital.

Li Han envied him again.

If his master is changed... Your Majesty...

Li Han shook his head secretly, the shadow guard was punished for doing something wrong, how could his master have such feelings of distress?

"Then when you finish teaching, how do you end up?"

Lou Yefeng muttered to himself:

"I have offended the master for so many days, and I will definitely give him an explanation. I have always looked at the master with a cold face, I am afraid that the master will be very angry at that time. How will it end..."

He took a deep breath, his voice seemed trembling:

"Then it's not up to me to decide. It depends... It depends on how angry the master is with me. The master may not be willing to let me suffer severe punishment, but it will not be easy to think about it."

"When it comes to the last day of my martial arts teaching, I will take the initiative to plead guilty, and then let all the shadow guards go to watch the punishment. Of course, it is also possible that before the last day, the master is already so angry that he wants to punish meIt's..."

After thinking about it, Li Han reluctantly agreed with him:

"So, it's a way. But what I don't understand is, Lou Yefeng, why are you so anxious to let your master learn martial arts? With your master's medicinal food supplementing it, you can recover all your internal strength within two years, so why bother?"What about your master. He is a prince after all, and it is very hard for him to practice martial arts for so many hours every day."

Lou Yefeng shook his head:

"Two years, it's still too long. The master doesn't like shadow guards getting close for some reason recently, and often makes shadow guards retreat when he is in the mansion. I can't help but not worry about it. What's more..."

He paused:

"I always feel that Beijing may not be very peaceful after a while."

Li Han's eyes became sharp all of a sudden, he put down the tea cup and sat up straight, and asked solemnly:

"Why, have you noticed what's wrong?"

Half of the shadow guards under Li Han are responsible for intelligence work.Because on weekdays, Pei Niancheng often instills a concept in them - the safest protection is always to nip danger in the bud.

That's the so-called... I don't need to try to make my side solid, that's impossible, I just need to know who is trying to mess with me, and then I'll screw him in advance and it's over.

Pei Niancheng's way of thinking is quite similar to the martial arts moves Lou Yefeng designed for his master.

Therefore, in the past few years, Pei Niancheng's defense force has actually become less and less, and more shadow guards have turned into intelligence work.Search for information everywhere, just to know yourself and the enemy, and kill those who want to make trouble in advance.

So when Li Han heard Lou Yefeng's words "Capital is not peaceful", he was startled. Could it be that he didn't do his job well?

However, Lou Yefeng shook his head:

"There is no evidence. If you want to check, you probably won't find any clues. This is just my intuition. That's why I think two years is still a bit long. Who knows what will happen in these two years, I can onlyLet the master quickly have the ability to protect himself."

"...I've made a note, and I'll keep an eye on Capital's situation."

"Ok."

Then the two discussed today's martial arts moves, Lou Yefeng was concerned about Li Han's internal injuries, so he didn't keep Li Han any longer, and let him go back to rest.

………………

But Li Han went back to the small courtyard in the back garden of the palace. When he passed by Calm Heart Lake, he saw Pei Nianyu still waving his fan by the lake from a distance, repeating the moves he learned during the day over and over again.But at this time, it was already the moon hanging in the sky.

From Li Han's point of view, the prince's first style of shining water is much better than the one he used in the morning.

Could it be that Lou Yefeng's crooked method is really reasonable...to make his master angry, and then his master will be so angry that he will vent his anger on the fan?

In this way, it is also a way.

Naturally, he would not disturb the prince's martial arts practice, so he went back to his room.He was just about to go to bed, but before the candles were extinguished, someone knocked on the door.

"Enter."

It was Fang Heng who came, carrying a mahogany food box in his hand.

"Commander Lin."

Li Han frowned:

"Why are you looking for me? You and I are guests in the palace, why are you running around in the middle of the night, there are no rules."

Fang Heng put the food box on the table with a smile:

"Commander Lin, today my subordinates met Commander He..."

Then Fang Heng repeated the conditions of the competition that He Qixu had given him, and said:

"Before the prince sent his subordinates here to practice martial arts, this subordinate thought that he might be able to accept Lou Jiaoxi's guidance, but seeing that Lou Jiaoxi didn't seem to have much free time, he had no choice but to find those shadow guards in the palace to compete..."

Li Han gave a "hmm" and instructed:

"Lou Yefeng has been in a bad mood for the past two days, so don't bother him. Besides, what happened in this mansion recently, what are the shadow guards talking about... you boy, please be vigilant, don't break the rulesLet me go back and punish you."

Fang Heng and Pei Niancheng's shadow guards naturally knew what to listen to and what not to listen to, so even though he had listened to gossip during the day, he didn't mention it to Li Han at the moment.He just nodded and said:

"Yes, this subordinate understands. Sigh, I can't get any advice from Professor Lou, but fortunately, I can get some snacks from fighting with them. Today, my subordinate won twelve games, so I got twelve yuan..."

Then Fang Heng quietly approached the table with a proud look on his face:

"My subordinates heard that the prince is practicing martial arts recently, so he made less daily snacks. Today, he made a total of 20 yuan, and his subordinates won 12 yuan. This subordinate will not come down to give tribute to Commander Lin.coming."

As he spoke, he opened the food box, and saw twelve neatly placed milky white cubes inside, each of which was dotted with pieces of dried fruit.

"this is?"

"Commander Lin, I heard... this is dried almond cheese. The white one is cheese, the light-colored thin slices inside are chopped almonds, and the light yellow one on top is sweet-scented osmanthus. Tsk tsk... the lord is indeed a lord.The desserts are also very good...”

"Besides, my subordinates have heard that this snack is delicious. Not only does it have a strong milky aroma, but it's also so sweet that you lose your teeth!"

As Fang Heng spoke, his saliva dripped down.He looked at Li Han helplessly, the meaning was obvious——

Since the two of us are in the palace, let's share the meal quickly, we will have a chance when we go back to the palace.

Unexpectedly, Li Han suddenly slammed the box closed.

Fang Heng:???

Li Han's complexion suddenly became serious:

"The owner of this dried almond cheese has never tasted it before, how can you and I, as shadow guards, taste it first?"

"At this moment, the master should still be reviewing papers. Fang Heng, you should go back to the palace quickly and send this snack to the master, so that the master can relieve his worries."

Fang Heng: "..."

He was tongue-tied, the hard-earned dim sum was sent out without eating a piece, he was so wronged that he was about to cry.

However, he looked at Li Han's cold face and shuddered. He didn't dare to resist their leader, so he carried the box and left in aggrieved manner.

…………

In the palace.

Pei Niancheng was indeed still reviewing papers, and after a while, he suddenly reported to Fang Heng to deliver something, so he let him in.

"this is……?"

Fang Heng explained the ins and outs of the future.

Pei Niancheng was silent for a while:

"You said, Li Han hasn't eaten yet?"

"yes."

Pei Niancheng suddenly slapped the table and said angrily:

"Your commander hasn't eaten yet, so you just sent it to me? Fang Heng, do you convict me by going around your commander like this?!"

Fang Heng: "..."

Damn it, master, did you forget, the subordinate just said that the commander asked the subordinate to send it over!

However, Fang Heng is not Lou Yefeng, and he knows that the master is not His Royal Highness King Yu, so he must not argue with that, so he has no choice but to admit his mistake.

Pei Niancheng knew that Li Han suffered internal injuries and vomited blood after being punished, so he naturally wanted to take care of him more.It's just that Li Han is in the palace, and it's not easy to go to visit him, so he can only try to take care of them in these small places.

For example...

So Pei Niancheng carefully took out six pieces of dried almond cheese, then closed the food box, and pushed it forward:

"You send the rest back and let Commander Lin eat some too... By the way, you are not allowed to eat it! Keep it for Commander Lin!"

Fang Heng said weakly: "...Yes, this subordinate...takes orders..."

The author has something to say:

Fang Heng: There is no delivery fee for delivering food in the middle of the night!!!
