104. The contract is safe and without doubt

He Qi only stretched out his hand to support him, and he could feel that Lou Yefeng's footsteps were sloppy, which was obviously caused by the emptiness of internal energy and unstable breath.

He watched Lou Yefeng meditate and adjust his breath with difficulty, but he didn't dare to send him internal energy rashly.At this moment, Lou Yefeng is afraid that his internal energy will be exhausted, and he has no strength to resist.His own internal force is not the same as his, and sending him internal force is very likely to cause other problems.

After a long while, Lou Yefeng finally came to his senses, with a tired look on his face, he said in a hoarse voice:

"Don't worry, it's just that your internal energy is exhausted, just adjust your breath for a few more days and you'll be fine."

He Qi hurriedly poured a cup of tea, and then looked at him with a complicated expression.After Lou Yefeng regained some strength, he asked:

"Old building, that medicine... why is it so troublesome?"

Perhaps because of exhaustion, Lou Yefeng spoke slowly, with a light voice:

"Heh... the poison that can lurk in the internal organs for a long time, how can it be so simple to get rid of it with a single pill? The shadow guard restriction you took has decades of poison stored in it,Nature is not at all different from ordinary poisons.

"Once those poisons are induced by the antidote, your internal energy will move around in your meridians. If there is no outsider to help you control your internal energy, the detoxification will fail at the slightest, and you will lose all your martial arts skills, or even be paralyzed and die."

He Qi didn't doubt the consequences of what Lou Yefeng said.In that short half an hour just now, the impact on his meridians was much stronger than any time he lost control of his internal power during his many years of martial arts training.

If it wasn't for Lou Yefeng to help him push back the scurrying internal force, he might have already suffered serious internal injuries by now.

This is the so-called "law protector".People who practice martial arts, if they want to perform operations such as breaking through internal strength or using internal strength to detoxify, they often ask a teacher with a higher level of cultivation to protect the law, just to avoid this from happening.

But now He Qi himself has nothing to do, but Lou Yefeng has exhausted his internal energy because of him... He Qi couldn't help but asked again:

"However, can't someone else help me?"

Lou Yefeng smiled reluctantly:

"To protect the Dharma for you, this is going against your own internal force. A Dharma protector naturally needs a deeper internal force than you... Don't you know such a simple truth, Old He?"

Of course He Qi knew about this, but...

"Old He, your martial arts are already top-notch among the shadow guards. Although Lian Xiao is not inferior to you in actual combat among the few masters in our mansion, he is slightly inferior to you in terms of internal strength alone."

He Qi couldn't help retorting:

"What about Jiang Xue? Didn't she just make a breakthrough in her internal strength two days ago, she seems to be stronger than me."

Lou Yefeng was speechless:

"Old He, do you think it's easy to help others? Jiang Xue's level...she can't do this kind of delicate work. Besides, your internal force is masculine, and her cold breath internal force doesn't match yours. Let herCome to help you, it’s hell if you don’t drive you crazy.”

"So there is no one in our mansion who can complete this task. As for other places... Do you still want to call Li Han to help you with this matter? He is so busy that he can't be seen. You have no personal relationship with him.In the end, this favor will still be counted on the head of the master."

He Qi looked at him without speaking.

Lou Yefeng ignored his gaze and drank his tea alone.

He Qi stared at him for a long time, and seeing that he really didn't intend to continue, he finally couldn't help it:

"Analyzing others is straightforward. How did you do the old building? Could it be that you have recovered your original internal strength? Don't interrupt, answer honestly."

Lou Yefeng hesitated for a moment, and worded a little:

"Some... small tricks, such as the three glasses of wine earlier."

"Alcohol? Are you saying that after drinking alcohol, you can temporarily restore your internal energy to its original level?"

Lou Yefeng frowned and denied the statement:

"It's not that simple. It's not that I can restore my internal strength at its peak. It's just that I can use some special skills of luck through the power of alcohol to help you resist internal strength."

"That's why I also said that it's just some unpopular 'little methods'. It's really useless in a battle. At that time, I just glanced at a book of internal skills that I don't know where. I didn't think about it."Will use it someday."

He Qi was speechless for a moment:

"...No, old building, you just glanced at it in the book??"

"...well... almost."

He Qi sighed silently in his heart, this person...how many martial arts skills can he know?

There is also the ancient secret method of transferring one's internal energy to the master...

It's really pissing people off.

However, He Qi glanced at Lou Yefeng's pale face, and was very grateful for the old building's dedication to help him. He got up and gave him a deep bow:

"Brother Lou, I, He Qi, thank you here today..."

Unexpectedly, Lou Yefeng didn't appreciate it, and interrupted him directly:

"That's not necessary. Although you were subject to this 'restriction' when you entered the Shadow Guard camp. But after you finished your studies, you followed the master. I was worried about your identity, so I secretly gave you the 'restriction'.Added some ingredients, you don't know..."

He Qi: "..."

Back then, he just came out of the Shadow Guard Camp, and his experience was still inexperienced. With Lou Yefeng's superb level of concealment and concealment, he wanted Gods can't know, ghosts can't see to do something to the poison in his body., it couldn't be easier.It's no surprise he fell for it.

"That's why this toxicity is so difficult to solve. Now... it's just that I should pay your debt."

But He Qi didn't have the slightest bit of grievance when he heard him tell the truth so bluntly:

"I don't care about it. If I were the master's shadow head, I would do the same. It's just..."

He looked at the wet strands of black hair on Lou Yefeng's forehead, he hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?"

"It's just that you... You deliberately made up other reasons to delay me getting the antidote this morning in order not to let the master know the solution to the antidote. Is this... worth it? You said you still don't trust my identity, then the master must be dissatisfied with you."

"Old building you... why do you bother to upset the master for me... oh..."

He Qi was in a complicated mood and didn't know what to do for a while.When he thought that the conflict between Lou Yefeng and his master was all because of him, he felt extremely guilty.

Lou Yefeng lowered his eyes, unable to see his emotions:

"It's just that I can't help it. The antidote must be hidden from the master. Otherwise, if the master finds out that someone with deeper inner strength is needed to solve it, how do you think the master will react?"

"Master will definitely stop you from detoxifying me..."

After Lou Yefeng heard this, although he was very tired, he still raised his head with difficulty, and looked at He Qi with a frown.It seems that he is very dissatisfied with He Qi's slow response and sensitivity.

He Qi couldn't help being startled by his stare, and he figured it out in a flash of thought, and suddenly cold sweat broke out all over his body:

"No... the master stopped you from coming, and he wanted to undo the restriction for me earlier, the master will... want to try it myself!"

Yes, Pei Nianyu is the only one in this mansion who has more internal strength than He Qi.

And based on what the two of them know about their master... the possibility that the master will stubbornly ask him to detoxify himself is almost ten to ten.

Before going out for a walk, their master hadn't formally learned any martial arts at that time, but he still managed to go into battle on his own when he encountered something.However, detoxification requires extremely subtle control of internal energy. If the master does not operate properly, it is very likely that the huge internal energy will backfire on him.

——That's why Lou Yefeng winked at He Qi to prevent him from taking the medicine immediately, and at the same time used other reasons to deal with his master.Then figure it out yourself.

He Qi was silent for a while, then sighed:

"Old building, it's really hard for you. I'm afraid the master won't listen to what you said about me to the master today..."

He Qi's original intention was to express his gratitude and guilt, but Lou Yefeng interrupted him before he finished speaking:

"Hmph, old He, don't think that what I said to the master was just made up for coping. What I said is also the real reason why I don't want to give you the antidote... at least 50%."

There was a bit of coldness in that tone.

He Qi was surprised:

"Old building, what do you mean by that?"

Lou Yefeng closed his eyes for a moment, then sat up from the couch with difficulty.With his elbows resting on the couch table, he leaned forward, squinted his eyes and looked directly at He Qi:

"The person who said that your family used to be the former prince...does he still wrong you?"

Although this is a well-known fact, He Qi knew that Lou Yefeng's words meant more than that, and his body began to stiffen.

"Your eldest brother... is the heir of the He family, and he entered the Imperial Academy after he obtained his fame in the imperial examination. Before that, your eldest brother was the prince's companion for a period of time... It's just thatThis accompanying reading was ordered by the crown prince, and it has not been formally appointed, it is only a gift for He Shilang, and others generally don't know it."

"The former prince must have had a lot of personal relationships with your brother. As for you... To be honest, I haven't found much specific information. But according to my inferences and intuition... there must be some relationship."

"He, Tong, Ling. You said... am I right?"

All the blood in He Qi's body froze.

He closed his eyes, not allowing himself to look at Lou Yefeng's calm but penetrating eyes.It took a while to recover my sanity, and then I spoke slowly, with a hint of bitterness in my tone:

"Old building, what you found... the owner doesn't know about it?"

"Of course, I know many things that Master doesn't know. Many, many, including yours, others', and... Master's own."

He Qi didn't notice the phrase "including the master's own affairs" at all, and then asked:

"Then you...why didn't you tell the master? If you were suspicious of me, tell the master, so that the master didn't save me, didn't promote me, or even cut me off, wouldn't it be safe?"

Lou Yefeng laughed lightly, then leaned back again:

"The master is willing to believe you. After you followed the master, he deliberately didn't mention your life experience once, just to avoid exposing your scars. The master himself didn't mention it, so I naturally won't say much."

He Qi suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart.

"So, the master just trusts me, but you have been watching me secretly. I know that you must have let go of your guard against me later, otherwise you would not have given me the position of leadership..."

Lou Yefeng suddenly opened his eyes, and in his dark eyes, he looked at He Qi as calmly as a lake, and interrupted his words again:

"Three months ago, I handed over the leadership position to you because you still have restrictions on you, so I can be so relieved."

He Qi was shocked, and immediately jumped up from the couch, pinched his fingertips tightly into the flesh, his face flushed rapidly, he didn't know whether it was anger or grievance, and asked in a trembling voice:

"Lou Yefeng! Since you think so, why do you put in so much effort to detoxify me today?"

As soon as He Qi thought that his position as the commander of the shadow guard had not been truly recognized by the previous commander—especially in terms of loyalty, he suddenly didn't know how to face Lou Yefeng.

He knew in his heart that he had always been very good to him, and he always trusted and reused him.It was the incident three months ago... on the day when he lost all his internal strength, He Qi thought that he was not good for his master, so he obediently let any Qi deal with him without any objection.

On the matter of this life experience, Lou Yefeng was not completely relieved.

Lou Yefeng ignored his gaffe, still looked at him calmly, and uttered calmer words:

"Because the master wants to release the restriction for you. I don't want to disobey the master's order anymore."

He Qi suddenly didn't know what it was like, and after a long while, he suddenly asked:

"Then you... now that the restriction on me has been lifted, you... what are you going to do to me?"

Lou Yefeng looked relaxed:

"What else can I do? The solution is solved, and you have to believe it if you don't believe it."

He Qi: "..."

Why does this sound so ugly?

Then he looked at He Qi seriously, and heaved a long sigh:

"Old He, I believe you will not let me down, right?"

He Qi also calmed down at this time, nodded and said:

"Although you have found some things, but... no matter what kind of relationship my eldest brother has with the former prince, as far as I am concerned, I have never thought about those things."

"Until something happened to my family, my wish was to be successful in martial arts, and if I could join the army in the future, I would defend my family and the country."

"...I know that too."

"Master is a life-saving grace to me. My life belongs to Master no matter what. If one day I don't want me anymore, I will return this life to Master."

Lou Yefeng nodded and didn't say anything more.

As a matter of fact, Lou Yefeng dared to release the restraint for him today, partly because of his master.

He said he knew a lot of things his master didn't, which was true.

For example, after the owner woke up three months ago, there were some subtle changes in temperament.

For example, the master suddenly doesn't want the person he serves to get too close.

For example, the owner never cared about the taste of the food before but now...

Lou Yefeng knew it all in his heart, but if the master didn't tell, he didn't ask.

He only needs to know that the master is still the master.

He only knew that when the master went to pick him up from the dungeon, the friendship in his eyes was the same as before.

Another example... the master never avoided him in dealings with Pei Niancheng before, but now he is keenly aware that there are some common secrets between the master and His Majesty.

Also, the master never seemed to bother with the loyalty of his subordinates.

Neither did Pei Niancheng.

Even, over the years, no one in Pei Niancheng's huge subordinate team has ever had an accident of betrayal.

Careful thinking led Lou Yefeng to come up with a deduction - his master probably has some way to detect the mind of his subordinates, and it is very likely that Pei Niancheng taught him.

That's why Pei Nianyu was so sure and unquestionable when he decided to give He Qi the antidote today.

"..."

He Qi didn't know what Lou Yefeng was thinking, he saw Lou Yefeng closed his eyes and rested his mind, he thought it was because he was extremely tired.

Only then did he realize that Lou Yefeng had indeed talked too much with him today, and he felt a little guilty again:

"Old building, you... have a good rest, I won't bother you anymore."

"Well, remember not to tell the master what happened today."

He Qi:???

"No, old building, are you crazy? You still have to hide from the master in such a state of emptiness, what should you do when you practice martial arts tomorrow?"

"Master's martial arts practice is a counter move, so there is no need to use internal strength."

He Qi: "..."

He felt deeply that this was wrong.

"Okay, I just used up my internal energy to detoxify you today, so you're going to apologize to me in a blink of an eye?"

"I…………"

However, this matter was a real debt to Lou Yefeng, He Qi was speechless.

"It's about time, Old He, it's time for you to go to the vigil."

"..."

He Qi, who was ordered to leave the guest, had no choice but to go out resentfully, while quickly thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
