11. Why don't you stand still and be an idler

Pei Nianyu knew that Lou Yefeng's internal strength seemed to have almost recovered, but even in his peak period before, he was only one step ahead of He Qi.

Before Lou Yefeng lost all his martial arts, the two of them had a lot of sparring, no matter what, they had to make two hundred moves in order to be able to tell the difference.

Although He Qi's talent is not as good as his old building's, since he can assume the position of commander, he is far superior to other shadow guards.

Lost so quickly...

Pei Nianyu frowned. Could it be true that he deliberately released water in order to prove to everyone the martial arts taught downstairs?

However, in the next second, this guess was denied.He Qi is not a person who can release water.

Sure enough, He Qi looked surprised and angry on the field, obviously he couldn't believe that he lost so quickly in front of all the shadow guards.He whispered to the person opposite:

"You...haven't fully recovered your internal strength yet?"

Lou Yefeng smiled, put his sword back into its sheath: "I won't hide it from you, it's more than 90% recovered, it's not yet complete."

"But why are you stronger than before?"

He Qi couldn't figure it out. After all, he has been practicing hard for the past six months, and his martial arts has also improved.

Lou Yefeng looked far away, looking at the night sky:

"Having gone through such a life-and-death experience, re-learning martial arts, it's probably because of a different mood."

He Qi was silent, just now Lou Yefeng's moves were sharper and quicker than before, more calm and elegant, like an antelope hanging horns, no trace can be found.

But... since his internal strength has not yet fully recovered, he can fight!

He Qi suddenly jumped back three feet, threw the long sword in his hand, and pulled out a slender soft chain from his sleeve:

"I underestimated the enemy just now, let's compare again."

Lou Yefeng's eyes froze slightly.

The dark silver rope in He Qi's hand fell to the ground, shining dots of cold light under the moonlight.

This dark silver rope was originally the instrument of torture that He Qi used to bind people when he was in charge of torture.Later, he made it easy, and he transformed it into a weapon, and figured out a set of soft whip whipping methods, which he used as his secondary weapon.

Over time, this dark silver rope seemed to be more skillful than his swordsmanship.

Normally, He Qi seldom shows this weapon in front of people, but now he has forced all his efforts to suppress the bottom of the box.

Lou Yefeng didn't dare to be careless, he gathered his energy to deal with it with his whole body, and raised his sword to make a strong first move.He Qi flicked his wrist lightly, and the dark silver rope wrapped around the sword like a poisonous snake.

He Qi's dark silver sword is indeed much more agile than his swordsmanship, but coupled with his consistent upright and vigorous internal strength, Lou Yefeng couldn't take advantage of his body skills, so he had to face the move head-on.

The moves of the two were unpredictable, and they were extremely fast. They quickly passed more than a dozen moves in a few breaths.The shadow guards below saw that the fighting situation suddenly became violent, they all held their breath and concentrated on watching the two of them intently, hoping to comprehend a little bit of each move.

Even Pei Nianyu, who was outside the court, raised his heart.

A stick of incense passed, the two still hadn't decided the winner, but they gradually started fighting, and they never held back when their moves collided, and they gradually reached the point of fighting with internal strength.

Pei Nianyu noticed that something was wrong with the situation on the field, fearing that they would become stalemate like He Qi Jiang Xue's previous martial arts competition, so he mobilized his internal strength and said:

"It's just to learn about moves, you two are evenly matched, let's rest!"

Hearing that, the moves of the two intersected each other, Yunzu palmed each other, and then they floated back.

When Lou Yefeng stood still, he suddenly felt his inner breath vibrating, and his blood was rolling continuously in his chest.Xin Dao had suffered an internal injury in the last palm-to-palm clash just now, but fortunately it wasn't very serious, it will be healed after a few days of breath adjustment.

As soon as he looked up, he saw that He Qi also had fine beads of sweat on his forehead, so he knew that he was in the same situation, and he was injured internally by his palm.

The two looked at each other—it's better not to let the master know that we were injured, so the two of them acted as if nothing happened immediately in a very tacit understanding.

Lou Yefeng saw that He Qi was still struggling to adjust his breath, so he said:

"I took half a step back just now, and you won."

Pei Nianyu flew over and said immediately after hearing the words:

"But you, Ye Feng, won the game just now, so today you two are still tied!"

The shadow guards below naturally knew that the master was teaching them the master - today's two rounds of martial arts competition, naturally the second round is more true.But naturally, no one said anything, they all looked at Lou Yefeng, and they almost immediately teased the master's eccentricity.

Lou Yefeng's face darkened: "Okay, okay, you all go back."

All the shadow guards dispersed in a hurry.

Pei Nianyu asked with concern: "Are you two okay? That last..."

The two said in unison: "No problem."

"It's just that the internal energy consumption is a bit high, and it will be fine in two days."

"……That's good."

He Qi coughed lightly: "Master, it's getting late, you should go back and rest first. There are a few things I didn't understand when I made the move just now. I want to discuss it with the old building. I hope the master will allow it."

"Okay, then I'll go back first. Ye Feng, you..."

Pei Nianyu looked at the front figure in a black outfit, and thought of his strong and powerful figure when he made the move just now, his heart itched.

Anyway, there is only He Qi next to him now, so it doesn't matter, Pei Nianyu suddenly moved closer and kissed him on the cheek:

"Go back earlier, I'll lay out your bedding for you."

Then he walked away, leaving behind him a big red face in the night.

He Qi who watched the whole process: ...

Forget it, calm down, calm down, I will see this kind of scene a lot in the future, I have to get used to it, I have to get used to it.

After a while, Lou Yefeng finally digested the sweetness, and suddenly said in a muffled voice:

"Ah, I feel like my internal injuries have healed."

He Qi was surprised: "Your internal strength has reached such a level?"

"...That's not true. What the master said just now made me feel that my lungs are much better."

He Qi: "..."

He endured it for a long time, and seeing Lou Yefeng's face immersed in the soft words of his master just now, he finally couldn't hold back, and burst into a rough sentence:

"Old building, you are on a horse..."

He waved his sleeves angrily:

"I am no longer the leader of the shadow guard! I will abdicate to let the virtuous!"

"Hey, old He, what's wrong with you..."

Lou Yefeng quickly chased after him.

…………………

The two stopped joking and talked as they walked.

He Qi sighed and said, "Actually, I called you because of this. Old building, since you have recovered your martial arts, you are only thirty one this year, and you are not yet the age for the shadow guard to retire."

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Lou Yefeng seriously:

"I'm serious, do you want to come back and continue to be the leader?"

"Old building, you don't have to worry about what I think. Anyway, I am much younger. When you retire at the age of thirty-five, it will not be too late for me to come back as the commander. For the next six months, I will be my replacement."

Lou Yefeng smiled softly:

"How can you have the idea of handing over the power you have obtained? I think you probably have some worries in your heart?"

He Qi pondered for a moment, and finally expressed his secret worry for half a year:

"Old building, your talent is far superior to mine. In a few days, your internal strength will be perfected, and you will only be stronger than before. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it after all."

Lou Yefeng looked at him with cold eyes:

"You care too much. You are the commander appointed by the master himself. The master thinks you can do it, and you have to do it if you can't. This is your responsibility! What does it have to do with me, a shadow guard who is not in the ranks?"

He Qi bowed his head: "I see."

"As for myself, the master is right. I was really tired in the past few years. Old He, it is very immoral to squeeze an old man who has worked hard for ten years. In the days to come... I will be short-livedQianjin."

"you……"

The meaning of these words is to completely delegate power to He Qi.Lou Yefeng knew that if he didn't let go completely, He Qi wouldn't be able to fully grow in one day.

What's more, the spring night is short and so on, that is indeed his true thought - he is already too old, and he has been chasing his beloved for many years, if he doesn't cherish these hard-won time with his master, he is a fool.

He Qi suddenly made up his mind and looked up at him:

"Since that's the case, I don't know if Lou can take the time to teach me how to use martial arts."

Lou Yefeng saw that he was finally able to sit in the position of commander with peace of mind, and smiled lightly:

"The responsibility lies, and it is incumbent."

Today's martial arts competition not only proved Lou Yefeng's martial arts strength, but also allowed Lou Yingwei to be Pei Nianyu's personal bodyguard.It also solved He Qi's long-term concern, which can be regarded as completely ending the little undercurrent inside the King Yu Palace shadow guard.

The most important thing is... When a former shadow returned to the house for the first time, he saw that his master had opened the bed and waited for the rabbit.He, a late-returning rabbit, threw himself into a trap and caught a turtle in the urn, so he was eaten clean again.

Really a spring night is worth a thousand gold.

……………

In the past few days, while Pei Nianyu was teaching He Yanjun the white table pastry, he was intensively preparing for the pre-opening of the dim sum shop and the nearby restaurant.

Yes, there is a medium-sized restaurant next to Chen Kee Dim Sum Shop. Although it is not comparable to the big restaurant in the Drunk Immortal building opposite, it is still of a certain standard.Another apprentice of Pei Nianyu asked Ping En to borrow money from him.

The restaurant has been sucked away by the nearby Drunk Immortal building for a long time, and its business has been tepid all year round.It just so happened that the owner of the restaurant had something to go back to his hometown and wanted to sell Capital's assets, so Pei Nianyu directly took over the shop.

Pei Nianyu had seen this store before when he was inspecting it, but because of the large area, he didn't consider it because he was afraid that it would be too much trouble.Now there are two tool man apprentices,

Although it was nominally borrowing money from Pingen, Pei Nianyu didn't expect him to pay it back.Anyway, opening a shop to earn food and work for the system (and his younger brother) is what he was supposed to do.

He took the two apprentices to work on details such as shop decoration and dish selection for several days, and he never got tired of it, so he smoothly let Lou Yefeng get over the injury without letting the master notice anything.

………………

Lou Yefeng and He Qi each quietly healed their wounds with internal strength, but within three days they were all healed.Then Lou Yefeng remembered the original intention of this competition.

So in the early morning of this day, Pei Nianyu took He Yanjun to the dim sum shop early in the morning to check the progress of the renovation, but he was not in the mansion.And He Qi finished the night vigil, and arranged for the shadow guards to go out with the master.When he was about to change shifts and rest, he was caught by Lou Yefeng.

Lou Yefeng took him to a remote courtyard.Seeing his sneaky look, He Qi frowned:

"What are you going to do..."

"Before the last martial arts competition, you promised me that as long as I competed with you, you would tell me... Ahem, what, you forgot?"

He Qi was at a loss: "Tell you what?"

Lou Yefeng looked hard to say, and his expression was a little lost: "It's just...Old He After you pointed out the master's attitude towards me last time, I asked you how to do better..."

Under his reminder, He Qi just remembered.

At that time, he just wanted to warn Lou Yefeng to restrain his stubborn temper in front of his master, and not to make him angry all the time. The starting point was also his duty as a shadow guard commander.

But Lou Yefeng learned from him at that time - how to do better for the master in this relationship with the master.

He Qi secretly thought that it was not good, he casually said that he had a way, but it was just to make a condition for the old building to agree to a martial arts competition with him.

In fact, he is not a lover, so how can he have any tricks to guide Lou Yefeng's relationship problems?

It's almost as good as asking his sister this kind of question...

But the words were out of his mouth, and Lou Yefeng fought him so hard again, he looked at Lou Yefeng's pleading eyes earnestly, and he was embarrassed to say that he was talking nonsense at that time.

"Hey, it's a long story, let's go into the room and talk about it."

While procrastinating for time, He Qi's mind turned quickly, thinking about how to deal with the old building.

And it's not enough just to deal with it, at least he can't come up with random ideas and affect the relationship between the master and the teacher.

So He Qi racked his brains in this direction-to tell the old building a strategy that does not seek merit, but seeks no faults.

Thinking about it this way, He Qi suddenly felt that his mind had broadened a lot, and inspiration emerged.So when the two of them sat in a remote and quiet study room, He Qi's expression had become very indifferent but determined.

He even leisurely made a cup of tea and pushed it to Lou Yefeng, and said calmly:

"It's actually very simple. Last time I mentioned that the master's nature is soft-hearted, but you must have heard a sentencethe clay figurine is still very angry."

"So, let alone the master? No matter how soft-hearted the master is, he is still a majestic prince. Old building, every time you make the master angry, the master will take a step back. But if things go on like this, the anger in the master's heart will not be vented, and it will eventually come out."question."

Lou Yefeng remained silent. Of course what He Qi said was correct, and it's not that he didn't know the truth, but...

Lou Yefeng sighed: "So what you said is nothing. Because every time I take the initiative to ask the master to punish me, he refuses. No matter how angry the master is, what's the use if I can't accept it..."

He Qi turned over Byakugan, hating him for not being enlightened:

"So you asked for punishment in front of Lian Xiao and me like that last time. You just don't know what to do. The more you put on an appearance of a loyal subordinate, the less the master will touch you!"

"The master cherishes the relationship with you so much, of course he is unwilling to show any punishment to you in front of any outsiders. But this does not mean that the master..."

Lou Yefeng hurriedly asked: "What is the master?"

——It doesn't mean that the master really doesn't want to do anything to you.

But He Qi knew that he couldn't go on. After all, he was only responsible for guiding Lou Yefeng. In fact, he couldn't guarantee the master's true intentions.

But one thing is certain, a few months ago, the master sneakily confiscated all the small instruments of torture in the Execution Department, including He Qi's "Punishment of Shadow Guards, which must wait for his own approval"."Private Collection" was also confiscated.

However, the owner did not choose to destroy it, but secretly hid it in his own place, which can explain the problem very well——

Master, if he really doesn't want to do some "abuse of lynching" to some people, why is he hiding those "things"?

The old god He Qi put down his teacup on the ground:

"I can't tell the master's specific thoughts, I can only give you a small hint, and the rest is up to you to discover by yourself."

"In the master's bedroom, there is a mechanism on the four-poster bed that you usually sleep on. There are some things in the hidden box under the bed. The master... put it in himself. You can tell when you look at it."

After that, He Qi turned around and left, feeling a burst of relief: Although the treasures I developed with my own hands are no longer in my hands, it is not good to let their pearls be dusted.

As for Lou Yefeng's expression when he saw the pile of things... The things were hidden by the owner, so what does it have to do with him?
