    97. The jade man's fingertips are cold

    After Pei Nianyu gave Lou Yefeng the pot of medicinal food for healing, he didn't bother him to recuperate.In the dark, he went back to his room to rest, after all, he still needed to practice martial arts the next day.

    Maybe it's because of his emotional ups and downs this day, or maybe it's because he's thinking day by day and dreaming at night, Pei Nianyu didn't sleep well in the second half of the night.

    He first dreamed that he was practicing martial arts and practiced wrong moves, and the old building scolded him again and beat him on the palm. No matter what he ordered, it was useless, and he felt helpless and sad.

    However, after that, Pei Nianyu began to dream that he had achieved great martial arts, that he was number one in the world, and that he could hit Lou Yefeng casually.Naturally, without a word, he avenged his former dream, and because Lou Yefeng couldn't fight back, he tortured his family Ye Feng over and over again in his dream...

    Until his Ye Feng was tortured to death by him in the dream, Pei Nianyu suddenly woke up.

    Between half asleep and half awake, the image left in the dream still left an afterimage in my mind, lingering.Pei Nianyu looked at Ye Feng in his dream who was covered in scars by himself, knowing it was fake, but his heart ached sharply, and he couldn't help pressing his chest.

    "...What a mess this is!"

    He muttered to himself, opened his eyes sleepily and looked out of the window, it was just dawn, earlier than when he usually got up.

    Pei Nianyu: "..."

    This dream was extremely lengthy, but in fact he didn't sleep for several hours.

    So Pei Nianyu fell back into the bed again.

    However, this messy dream really disturbed his mood.He was lying on the bed, and when he closed his eyes, he mutilated his Ye Feng into a horrific state, which made him terrified, but he didn't feel sleepy anymore.

    So he had no choice but to get up and get dressed, went to the small kitchen to make a simple bowl of porridge for breakfast, and then went to the Jingxin Lake.

    ………………

    Pei Nianyu thought he had woken up early enough, but after he walked slowly over, Lou Yefeng was already standing by the lake waiting for him.

    Capital City skies in late winter are always gloomy and gloomy.The ice of Calm Heart Lake has not melted for decades, and the gray-white sky presses the gray-white lake surface. In the quiet color, the straight and majestic black figure is eye-catching.

    Lou Yefeng heard the sound of undisguised footsteps on the stone road behind him, and turned around immediately.He bent down and wanted to salute, but when he saw the exhausted look on his master's face and the thick dark circles under his eyes, he stopped his movements immediately.

    He frowned slightly, with concern in his eyes, and stepped forward and asked:

    "Master, you...didn't rest well last night?"

    Pei Nianyu gave him a resentful look:

    "I didn't sleep well."

    "...Why, why? What is the master worried about?"

    Pei Nianyu thought of his dream, which was all related to the person in front of him, and his eyes became more resentful:

    "It's all your fault, for disturbing me so that I can't rest in peace."

    The person in front of him was startled when he heard the words.

    Lou Yefeng thought that the master meant that he had to rush to make the medicinal diet for him last night, that's why he didn't sleep well.

    He looked at his master's tired expression, and thought of how he treated his master before, but the master still missed his body, and couldn't help feeling even more guilty.

    Facing such a straightforward accusation from his master, Lou Yefeng didn't know how to apologize - after all, no matter how much he was punished, he couldn't make up for the few hours of sleep that his master had.He had no choice but to have guilt in his eyes, and said in a low voice:

    "Yes, I'm sorry...it's all the subordinates' fault..."

    Pei Nianyu looked at the man who was half a head taller than him bowing his head and apologizing cautiously, as if he wanted to bury his head in the thick black cloak.As if he really came into the dream and disturbed his sleep, he couldn't help but chuckled, feeling very good.

    "Well, it was just a nightmare."

    Lou Yefeng saw that it was not his fault that the master didn't sleep well, but he didn't feel half relieved, instead he became more worried:

    "...What kind of nightmare is it that disturbed the master like this?"

    Pei Nianyu solemnly recounted his dream - only the second dream of course, omitting the previous part where he was trained by Lou Yefeng again.

    He told Lou Yefeng to listen, he wanted to see his devastated expression, but after Lou Yefeng listened, he bowed his head and remained silent.

    After a while, he raised his head with a complicated expression:

    "Master, as the saying goes, you think about it every day and dream at night. Since you have dreamed about this, you must have imagined it in your heart. Since you have the heart to punish your subordinates... why don't you follow your inner wish."

    Lou Yefeng's heart felt sad for a moment, he hoped that the master would really do this...so that the master would not be annoyed by him all day long, and in the end he would suffocate himself.

    Pei Nianyu choked for a moment, which was a bit too much. It seems that his temper before really scared him a lot.So hastily said:

    "What are you thinking about? I just woke up from this dream. How could I really treat you like this. But..."

    Pei Nianyu raised his eyebrows suddenly, stretched out a finger, and tapped his chest:

    "As your master, I reserve the right to punish you, you have to remember well, if you make me unhappy one day, hey..."

    Lou Yefeng felt rather uncomfortable:

    "Master, this subordinate is your shadow guard, and your life depends on your decision. The subordinate never forgets, but the master, can't you forget it yourself?"

    Pei Nianyu saw that he didn't bluff anyone, so he suddenly lost interest:

    "Cough. That...that...well, let's start practicing martial arts."

    "..."

    He first demonstrated to Lou Yefeng the changing moves of the first form that he learned yesterday, and after correcting a few mistakes, he finished the rest of the changing moves.

    In this way, the first form can be regarded as the entire study is over, and the rest is to continue to practice hard until it is fully mastered before it can be used in actual combat.

    Pei Nianyu practiced for three or four hours, and finally at dusk, the movements were smooth and smooth, and he defeated Lou Yefeng who was fighting him.

    His fan bone was in front of Lou Yefeng's skirt, no more than three inches from his neck, and the long sword in Lou Yefeng's hand had been swung away by his moves, and he hadn't been able to fight back yet.

    Although both of them didn't use their internal strength, Pei Nianyu knew that it was just a move that he beat him, but he still couldn't hide the joy on his brows, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Lou Yefeng.

    And Lou Yefeng didn't seem to notice the weapon on his chest, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes:

    "Master's move is really good. If you are tired, you should rest today."

    Pei Nianyu closed his fan and turned around, swung his wide sleeves, and said seriously:

    "I'm not tired. Teacher Lou promised me something yesterday. Did Teacher Lou forget it?"

    Lou Yefeng looked at his master's appearance of "asking for rewards for good grades in homework", and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

    "How can my subordinates forget it? It's just acupuncture techniques. Master, if you want to learn it, your subordinates will naturally want to teach it."

    "What's more, this move of the folding fan..."

    Before the words finished, Lou Yefeng suddenly stretched out his hand, and three fingers attacked the master's pulse gate.

    Pei Nianyu didn't know that this was the disarming kung fu of empty-handed into the white blade, he only felt that the acupoints on his hand numb, his fingers loosened, and his fan somehow fell into Lou Yefeng's hands.

    "Eh……?"

    Pei Nianyu subconsciously reached for his weapon, but he couldn't grab a single hair.

    "It was originally born out of..."

    Lou Yefeng turned his wrist lightly and deftly——

    "...the acupuncture technique of the judge's brushwork."

    There was a muffled "poof" when the fan handle poked against the clothes, and Pei Nianyu immediately kept reaching out, unable to move any more.

    "..."

    "The subordinate is sorry."

    Lou Yefeng didn't dare to let his master stay still, he immediately unlocked his acupoints.

    Pei Nianyu's eyes suddenly lit up:

    "I want to learn this!"

    "Today is the first day, master, you should start by recognizing the acupoints first. It's just that it's getting late, so I'll study for another hour today, and then you should go to rest."

    "it is good."

    This acupuncture technique has always been passed on from male teachers to female students, and from female teachers to male students. It has become an unspoken rule that has been passed down for many years in Jianghu sects.The reason for this is naturally because...

    When teaching acupoints, one must actually touch the acupoints with the fingers so that the apprentice can grasp the exact location.Then there will inevitably be some inconvenience between the master and apprentice of the opposite sex.

    However, to Pei Nianyu, this "inconvenience" is like the ready-made tofu delivered to his mouth, which is fresh, tender and delicious.

    Every time Lou Yefeng mentioned an acupoint, Pei Nianyu stretched out his finger and poked lightly on the corresponding place of Lou Yefeng, knowingly asking:

    "...This is Cloud Gate... Zhongfu..."

    Pei Nianyu flicked his finger to the left slightly:

    "...Is this the Wuyi Cave..."

    Lou Yefeng looked at the position where the master's finger poked, and his breathing stopped for a moment:

    "...Yes. The master really remembered very quickly."

    Pei Nianyu leisurely continued to swipe down:

    "Well, this seems to be a false window..."

    Pei Nianyu paused, walked around to the left, turned to the right for another square inch, and stopped still:

    "Here... I forgot, what is it?"

    Lou Yefeng's face was stiff, he didn't dare to move his whole body, almost couldn't bear it, his voice trembled slightly:

    "...It's...it's the Tianchi point..."

    He looked down at his master's slightly sly eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart, thanks to the kindness of his master, he didn't stop at the acupuncture point next to him.Otherwise...if the master loses his manners in front of him, he really doesn't know how to deal with himself.

    Pei Nianyu took advantage of the learning opportunity to play tricks on his Ye Feng, causing Lou Yefeng to lose his breath.In addition, he poked the soft and elastic chest... muscles under the thick black clothes for a long time, and he couldn't help feeling better.

    ………………

    Here, Pei Nianyu finished his martial arts practice for a day, ate enough tofu for three days by the way, and went back to the house for dinner contentedly.The shadow guards who guarded the whole day were both happy and worried.

    The good news is that their master and Mr. Lou have finally reconciled. Two days ago, they were terrified, fearing that it would cause some irreversible situation.

    Fortunately, the master is still gentle, and Lou Yefeng is also very well-behaved, coaxing their master to go smoothly.

    ...Then suffered from these shadow guards, watching the master learn how to recognize acupoints for an hour.From a long distance, he could watch his master poking and poking at their teacher, and even tried to poke some indescribable acupoint at one point.

    Whether they look at it or not.

    It's hard being a shadow guard.

    …………

    The eerie atmosphere of these shadow guards in the palace did not affect Li Han who lived in another courtyard at all.

    This is the fourth day he has come to the palace, and it is less than half of the ten-day punishment for thinking about mistakes.However, since yesterday, he has started to deal with the affairs sent to him by his subordinate shadow guard.

    Although he is recuperating from his injuries, the master's official business cannot be delayed.

    In the evening, as usual, Li Han folded and sealed the important tasks that he had to deal with during the day, and attached a brief report on the situation of the palace, and sent the shadow guards to the palace.

    In the imperial study room, Pei Niancheng was grading papers while keeping a close eye on the time. He guessed that Li Han's news was coming soon, when sure enough, there was a message from Yingweitong outside the door.

    He felt a little happy——

    Every time Li Han sends him a message, it has become one of the few things he can expect to make him happy in the busy government affairs these days.

    I am happy because not only can see the emotional gossip between his brother and the old building, but sometimes can also get random snacks from his brother to Li Han, and Li Han will definitely forward them intact.

    But today...

    Pei Nianyu looked at the things in the shadow guard's hands. There was only a stack of paper bags with ciphertext, but no snack box, and he couldn't help but lose three points of his anticipation.

    However, fortunately, there is gossip to watch.

    He opened the ciphertext paper bag, first looked at Li Han's hand letter, the first sentence was:

    "...His Royal Highness King Yu and Professor Lou have returned to normal, but Lou Yefeng has not received the punishment he deserved. I don't know why the prince forgives Lou's fault. According to the subordinates..."

    Pei Niancheng: "..."

    He didn't bother to read a lot of Li Han's comments on this matter. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind:

    How to say reconciliation is reconciliation!What about the Cold War!Brother, you can't do this!!

    Reconciliation means that there will be no delicious melons to eat in the future.

    What the hell, the source of my daily fast fall is gone... It's gone...

    Pei Niancheng looked at Li Han's work report in his hand, feeling uninterested.

    Unexpectedly, after a while, saw Li Han wrote again:

    "...His Royal Highness King Yu made a lot of snacks called 'Crispy Fresh Milk Balls' in the evening. They are very delicious. The subordinates wanted to send the shadow guard and the master to deliver them, but His Royal Highness Yu Wang said that this item can only be servedTake it out of the pot and eat it while it is hot, and it will no longer be able to be eaten after a long time."

    "...His Royal Highness King Yu supervised his subordinates and used up a plate of crispy fresh milk...His Royal Highness King Yu's kindness is hard to resist, and the subordinates have no other choice. I hope the master will forgive me."

    Pei Niancheng:???

    Brother, brother, have you stopped arguing and started feeding my shadow guard with love?

    And... today my brother actually made fried fresh milk...

    Then he didn't eat it.

    It would be better not to let him know.

    Pei Niancheng, who had regretted sending Li Han to the palace, immediately slapped the table and summoned a shadow guard:

    "Go and inform your commander that the penalty period is over, and come back early tomorrow morning to handle my official duties."

    The author has something to say:

    Pei Niancheng: On a day when there is nothing to eat, the emperor's life is so boring and boring...
