I don’t know if it’s because of the arrival of spring, but it’s been raining recently. Bai Fan feels that the number of times he sees earthworms has increased significantly, and he doesn’t want to go out. .
The speed of the shadow guard has always been astonishing, and the things he ordered just now are presented in front of him. Bai Fan put down his pen and was about to pick up the document held by the shadow guard who was kneeling on one knee, when he suddenly realized that the figure in front of him was a little bit Familiar, "raise your head."
The silent and drooping figure paused, then raised his head obediently, revealing a pair of resolute eyebrows and eyes.
"It's you." Bai Fan recognized it, this is the shadow guard who blocked his sword last time. After recognizing who it was, the expression on Bai Fan's face softened a little, "Get up, can the last injury heal?"
"Your subordinate is fine. Thank you, Master, for your concern." The shadow guard said respectfully, but he still maintained his original movement and did not get up.
Seeing this, Bai Fan immediately reached out and grabbed the shadow guard's arm to help him up, "You don't need to be too polite, just get up." After helping him up, Bai Fan put his hand on his wrist, seeing the strong veins , the internal breath was stable, and he nodded in satisfaction. It seems that the wound medicine he sent was indeed effective, and the injury has basically recovered.
Bai Fan looked at the shadow guard in front of him, and vaguely remembered his name, "Shadow Seven."
Ying Qi was startled, and raised his head, apparently not expecting the leader to remember his name.
"Shadow Seven." Bai Fan pondered for a while, "You will follow me from now on."
Ying Qi raised his head sharply, unable to believe what he heard, or what he understood was the same as what the leader wanted to express.
"I happen to be short of people who do things around me. Would you like to break away from the identity of a shadow guard and become my close guard." Bai Fan continued.
Ying Qi suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry. It was excitement and nervousness. Although the shadow guard and the guard were both protecting the leader, there was a world of difference between them. The shadow guard did not need to have family and friends. His main duty is to protect the leader, and everything is focused on the leader, and he will live in the dark all his life, unknown to others. But Jinwei can walk in front of others, marry a wife and have children. If he makes great contributions in the future, he can be rewarded with a position and enjoy his old age.
Bai Fan looked at Ying Qi with a smile on his face, not worried about his reaction, because although the shadow guards were loyal, no matter how loyal they were, they still longed for a normal life. Ying Qi blocked a sword for him, and he Just to satisfy his one wish, after a long time, Bai Fan heard a deep and trembling voice, "This subordinate is willing, thank you for your kindness."
Bai Fan nodded, because the more he looked at the people around him, the more he was satisfied. By the way, Yin Rui should be informed about this matter.
That night, Bai Fan mentioned this matter in his letter to Yin Rui, among which he used a lot of praise for Ying Qi and was full of praise.
After reading the letter, Yin Rui's face was gloomy. After a long time, he put the letter in his arms and called people in. Ying Qi was among them. Yin Rui stared straight at Ying Qi with emotionless eyes, looking up and down, as if to see why this person deserved Fan's praise.
Ying Qi had already changed into the black clothes of the dark guards, and she looked tall and straight in the bodyguard uniform. He came in front of Yin Rui, knelt down on one knee, and said in a resounding and forceful voice, "This subordinate sees the leader."
But Ying Qi waited for a long time, but he didn't get any response to make him stand up. The air pressure around him was getting worse and worse, and even the gaze that was focused on him had a particularly cold feeling. Ying Qi felt cold, and immediately began to think about whether he had done something wrong recently to displease the leader, but after thinking about it, he didn't think of any clues, even last night, the leader praised him.
After kneeling for an unknown amount of time, when Ying Qi started to feel numb in his knees, a cold voice finally came from above, "Get up."
Ying Qiru breathed a sigh of relief as she was granted an amnesty, stood up and stood aside with her head bowed.
Afterwards, Yin Rui ignored Ying Qi, but started to deal with the affairs of the church and summoned the elders to deal with the affairs of the church in an orderly manner.
After a long time, Ying Qi quietly raised his head to look at Yin Rui. He always felt that today's leader is a little different from the previous two encounters. But Yingqi didn't think too much about it, he just thought that maybe the leader would be more serious when dealing with official affairs, remembering that he used to protect the leader secretly, and when he had never had contact with the leader, he rarely saw the leader meeting. Laughing, Ying Qi felt relieved again.
As a guard, Ying Qi naturally follows the leader every day. Ying Qi works very hard and is very efficient, which makes Bai Fan value him more and more, but Yin Rui finds this close favorite by Bai Fan's side even more distasteful.
Why should this person be valued by everyone? His talent is mediocre, his martial arts are mediocre, his eyes are clumsy and his mouth is clumsy, and his whole body has nothing to stand on the table. Without blinking, Yin Rui judged himself as worthless as an elite dark guard in his heart.
Ying Qi naturally didn't know the resentment in Yin Rui's heart, he just felt a chill in his body, the feeling that appeared almost every day recently came again, he didn't dare to look up to meet the fixed gaze, he could only lower his head a little lower. I hope that I can not attract the attention of the leader who has become more and more moody recently.
But can Yin Rui not pay attention to him? That is naturally impossible. His eyes touched a ciphertext on the table, his eyebrows moved, and he threw a token in front of Ying Qi calmly, "Hold my warrant , go to Fengtang to get a copy of the ciphertext marked with Secret 24 and come back."
The calm atmosphere was broken, and Ying Qida heaved a sigh of relief, "Yes, this subordinate obeys."
Ying Qi picked up the token on the ground, and didn't dare to look down until he exited the door. It was indeed the leader's warrant, and Ying Qi took the token and rushed to Fengtang. After arriving at Fengtang, Yingqi was stopped by someone who was still a hundred meters away. He took out his token and said, "According to the order of the leader, come here to get the ciphertext No. 2 and 4."
The two blocking people heard Ying Qi's words, looked at each other, then put down the hand that blocked Ying Qi, took the token and checked carefully to confirm that it was correct, the expressions on their faces had already added a bit of kindness, and one of them held the token. Pai Chongying Qiyi cupped his fists, "Please wait here for now, I'll go get the ciphertext back." Fengtang is the intelligence organization of the Black Moon God Sect, except for the people in Fengtang and the leader himself, no one else is allowed to enter.
Ying Qi nodded, expressing his understanding, and stood there quietly waiting, only wanting to get the ciphertext and hand it over to the leader as soon as possible.
But after Ying Qi waited for a while, he didn't wait for the people from Fengtang to come back for a long time. Just when he was wondering secretly, he suddenly realized that something was wrong around him. Stay with this spy." At the same time, a large net covered the sky, and many masked men with daggers appeared around them. Ying Qi knew this attire, it was the uniform of Fengtang, and he shouted, "Wait Wait, I misunderstood, I am the bodyguard in front of the leader, and I came to get the cipher text under the order of the leader, I am not a spy, and I have the warrant of the leader to prove it.”
Those people were obviously well versed in encirclement formations, and after firmly controlling Ying Qi, someone snorted coldly, "Don't argue, the cipher text No. 2 and 4 has already been taken away by the leader, so why send someone to take it again? You spy stole the warrant of the leader to steal the ciphertext."
Ying Qi paused as he struggled, and there was some disbelief in his eyes, but the earnest look in those people's eyes showed that what he said was true. Ying Qi suddenly felt his throat was a little dry, and his chest felt tight as if a stone was pressing on him. He was silent for a moment, Difficult to say, "This fact is the password of the leader. We are only following orders. Whether this matter is true or not, you can ask the leader for verification."
Those people were unmoved by his words, and even sneered, "We will naturally ask the leader to verify the truth of this matter, but before that, you should stay in the execution hall."
Ying Qi didn't struggle, and let others put him in chains and take him to the execution hall. There was no expression on his face, but a heart that was touched by some kind of warmth not long ago was slowly sinking.
Being imprisoned in the torture hall filled with a bloody smell, Ying Qi didn't respond at all. When the executioner who loved to torture people approached, he didn't respond either. Those who can be trained as secret guards have long been mentally ill. Having experienced inhuman tempering, he will not be afraid of any punishment.
That torturer is a veteran, he knows all kinds of methods that can make people feel extreme pain without seeing blood, but the one who came in today is a tough guy, although his whole body trembled in pain, he just didn't even hum With a sound, the criminal hand licked his lips. He felt that he was already excited. He was about to take out his press box and try it on this person. Someone came in and looked at the tough guy who just came in for an hour. The prisoner was taken away, and the executioner sighed in disappointment, but he also knew that this guy was not a prisoner who would never see his future in the execution hall, otherwise no one would have told him not to see blood when he was executed, Be a bit more concealed, this unlucky guy must have offended someone and was sent in for rectification.
From being sent in to being led out, Ying Qi was very calm, so calm that it was a bit unusual, and the person who made Fengtang originally said that he was sorry for making a mistake was a little embarrassed, and stopped his mouth wisely. Send people back.
Ying Qi staggered a little, presumably because of the injuries he suffered in the torture hall, he walked up to Yin Rui, knelt down with a plop, "Subordinate, I failed to fulfill the order of the leader."
"Oh." Yin Rui didn't even look at Ying Qi, and continued to deal with the official documents on the table, and said in a casual way, "I forgot to bring the cipher text, so your hard work is in vain."
"Subordinates don't work hard, it's their duty to do things for the leader." Ying Qi said with his head down.
Yin Rui finally looked up at Ying Qi, "You can understand this, very good, go down and rest."
Watching Ying Qi leave slowly, Yin Rui squinted his eyes slightly. He was naturally not that kind. He saw that Ying Qi was unwell, so he let him go down to rest. After some rest and recuperation, Fan won't be able to see any clues.
…
"Hey, mom, um, I'm going back today, I don't need to pick up the plane, I have an assistant to accompany me, um, I'll be there in the afternoon, okay, goodbye." After Bai Fan hung up the phone, he saw that Xiao Chen had already set the security of the entire villa down. After everything was secured to ensure that even if there was no one in the house, no fly would fly in, Xiao Wang was asked to pick up the neatly packed luggage, and the three of them drove to the airport together.
After flying in the sky for several hours, they finally returned to City Z. Although they had only been away for a few months, Bai Fan already missed a lot. Of course, he missed his parents even more.
Xiao Wang and Xiao Chen went to the hotel, Bai Fan still came home alone, he didn't like to bring people to his parents. After returning home, he had a delicious meal, and then was driven to rest by Bai Fan. Bai Fan kept smiling and obediently, but when he finally lay down on the bed, he felt really tired, so he fell asleep directly. After sleeping, She fell asleep on Yin Rui's bed and woke up.
After Bai Fan read the letters in the hidden compartment, he got up and put on his clothes. After drinking a cup of tea, he casually picked up the documents on the table to check, but when he looked at them, he always felt that something was missing around him. When he saw the dry inkstone, he suddenly realized, patted his head, and called out, "Ying Qi." No wonder he always felt something was wrong, so Ying Qi was not standing beside him today.
After being summoned, Ying Qi soon appeared. He knelt on the ground on one knee, lowered his head and said, "I don't know what the leader has ordered."
"It's okay, just help me grind ink." One of Bai Fan's many satisfactions with Yingqi is his ink grinding skills, which are quiet and fast, and the ink that he grinds out is the right thickness. It's too thick and not too weak, and it's not as clumsy as Feng'er, and occasionally splashes a few drops of ink.
Hearing Bai Fan's order, Ying Qi paused, covering the complicated look in his eyes, answered in a low voice, then got up and stood by the table, grinding ink for Bai Fan.
Ying Qi lowered his head and studied the ink meticulously. When he lowered his eyes, he saw Bai Fan who was sitting in front of the desk correcting official documents. Playing around with words indifferently. Yes, playing, he can determine the things in the daytime, not forgetting, but playing deliberately, he doesn't understand, how can a person be so changeable.
Bai Fan didn't notice Ying Qi's complex thoughts at all, he dipped his pen in ink to annotate on the official document with an extremely focused expression. But at this moment, two muffled coughs suddenly sounded in the room.
Bai Fan turned his head to look, and saw that Ying Qi had bowed his head and knelt on the ground, "I'm offended by this subordinate." Although he tried his best to endure it when he spoke, from the slightly trembling back, it can be seen that he is not at all right now. Not easy.
"What's wrong? But the old injury hasn't healed yet." Bai Fan put down his pen and helped Ying Qi up. He was still very concerned about Ying Qi's injury caused by him.
"Your subordinate is coughing and coughing. There is nothing serious about it. Perhaps it is due to the wind and cold." Ying Qi covered his chest with one hand and tried his best to suppress the cough. However, it brought out the injury all of a sudden.
Hearing Ying Qi's words, Bai Fan also immediately thought that the night in early spring was cold, Ying Qi had just recovered from a major injury, and was naturally weak. It was really inhumane for him to stand here as a company every night, and today he actually had a cold , if it wasn't for coughing out at this moment, with Ying Qi's silent temperament, I don't know how long he would have to endure it. Thinking of this, Bai Fan felt even more guilty, and he said, "Your body is important, you should go back to rest tonight." Alright, I'll let the others come over here."
Ying Qi clutched his chest and said respectfully, "Thank you, Hierarch, I will take my leave."
Ying Qi was about to leave when he suddenly heard a gentle voice, "Wait." Before he could react, he felt something warm covering his body. When he looked down, it turned out to be a white fox fur cloak . Ying Qi looked up in shock, only to see that it was indeed the leader who took off the piece he was wearing.
"The night wind is cold, you can put on this and go home." Bai Fan Chongying Qi said gently.
Ying Qi gathered the cloak that was still warm on her body, dazed for a while, and then said as if wandering, "...Thank you for the gift of the leader."
He didn't know how he got out of the door. The warmth of the cloak on his body became more obvious when he was blown by the cold wind outside, but the emotions in his eyes were more complicated.
