My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

When there was a stalemate outside the door, Su Yunwan opened the door and walked out, "Grandma, I saw that Ziyuan was feeling uncomfortable, so I gave him a bowl of calming soup, and he has fallen asleep now."

"That's fine." The old lady was afraid of waking her eldest grandson, so she gave up her plan to enter the house.

Seeing Su Yunwan wearing wet clothes that had not yet been changed, she immediately urged: "Wanwan, go change clothes quickly, don't catch the cold."

"Okay, when Zi Yuan wakes up, he will talk to you again." Su Yunwan went back to the house and closed the door.

The old lady's voice came gradually away from outside the house: "Shanshan, go and make some ginger soup for your sister-in-law. She walked all the way in the storm and is wet and cold..."

Su Yunwan: ...She heard the conversation between the old lady and Wu Shaohan.

Ling Qi and Shi Yi inside the house immediately went outside and asked her to change clothes quickly.

Even with rain gear protection, Su Yunwan's pants and shoes still inevitably got wet.

She nodded and walked into the back room.

When she came out again, she had put on a low-key and luxurious plain dress, with exquisite patterns embroidered only on the edges, which further highlighted her bright, white teeth and gentleness as jade.

Ling Qi, who met for the first time, only glanced at him and immediately lowered his head. Thinking of the word "Wan Wan" he had just said pretending to be the master, his heart could no longer be calm.

With Qin Junyi's face on his face, he bowed his head. Su Yunwan couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked him to go back to bed and continue to lie down.

Just as Ling Qi took a step forward, he heard a knock on the door.

Qin Junyi returns.

"Wan Wan, I'm back." Qin Junyi glanced at his wet clothes and put away the idea of ​​hugging him.

Su Yunwan smiled and said: "Go and change clothes first."

Qin Junyi nodded, deliberately found a set of clothes similar to hers, put them on, took off the disguise mask, and restored her identity.

Su Yunwan didn't expect that he, who adhered to traditional thinking, also knew this little trick of love, and couldn't help but smile happily and narrowly.

Qin Junyi's ears turned slightly red and he stepped forward to hug her into his arms.

Shi Yi quietly exited the room. As for Ling Qi, he retired after Qin Junyi returned.

Just as the indoor temperature continued to rise, Qin Ruoshan's voice sounded outside the house.

She brought two large bowls of ginger soup, one of which was obviously for Wu Shaohan.

The two people, whose necks were intertwined, had no choice but to separate from each other and adjust their breathing.

Su Yunwan packed up her clothes and walked out of the room. She saw Shi Yi carrying a tray and Qin Ruoshan had left.

"Send a bowl to Wu Shaohan." After Su Yunwan finished speaking, he walked into the room with a bowl and asked Qin Junyi to drink it.

Qin Junyi said, "Wanwan, drink it."

Soon, the two of them were sitting at the table, one mouthful and one mouthful, as if they were sharing some delicacy.

The warm atmosphere fills the air and feelings linger in my heart.

*

The heavy rain lasted for a long time and did not stop until midnight.

In the dark night, a black shadow flew out of Baotai Temple silently.

Wu Shaohan used Qinggong and quickly shuttled through the woods, stopping steadily in a cave.

In the cave, the bonfire was blazing and crackling. Qingxuan stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for a long time.

"Master." Wu Shaohan walked into the cave and leaned down to salute.

After Qingxuan stood up, he said sternly: "Master has an order that no one is allowed to leak the young lady's information to the outside world. The several shadow guards who have appeared in front of people will be left in your charge."

"Yes!" Qingxuan responded respectfully.

After talking about business, Qingxuan glanced coldly and said in a cold voice: "Do you know how Madam Bai Ri recognized the master?"

Wu Shaohan's heart tightened, and he said bravely: "Young Madam has always been smart, maybe she recognized the figure of the master."

"What you said is not impossible, but you let her guard down and let her go to the master alone, and then you gave her a definite answer!" Qingxuan angrily reprimanded.

He did not ignore the triumphant smile on Su Yunwan's lips, knowing that she had recognized her master long before he hinted at his identity.

Otherwise, she would not pretend to be cold and cause her master to reveal his flaws.

Wu Shaohan's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground: "It's my disciple who was careless."

"At that time, the Sixth Young Master of the Chu family had no time to look around because of the surviving woman. If it were normal, do you think he would have noticed anything unusual?"

"......possible."

Qingxuan added: "What will be the consequences if the Sixth Young Master Chu discovers the master's identity? What will be the consequences if others notice the abnormality?!"

The questions were like thunder in Wu Shaohan's ears, making him unable to stand on his knees and bowing down: "Disciple, I know I was wrong. Please punish me, master."

Qingxuan sneered coldly, "I'm just reminding you. The execution hall will hold you accountable when you are called back to report on your duties."

Wu Shaohan trembled when he heard this. If he was held accountable when he recalled the Shadow Guard Camp, it wouldn't be a matter of peeling off a few layers of skin.

"Disciple accepts his own punishment. Master, please show me." He would rather receive a beating now than fall into the hands of the execution hall.

The annual recall report is a nightmare for all shadow guards who have been released from the camp. Qingxuan naturally knew what he was thinking, and said slowly: "The situation is serious now. You must always be vigilant and not slack off at all."

"Yes." Wu Shaohan secretly cried out in his heart, this was the calm before the storm.

Sure enough, the next sentence was "Here comes someone!"

Following Qingxuan's order, a figure walked in from outside the cave.

Lingqi held a cane broken from the forest in both hands, leaned over and handed it to Qingxuan.

Rattan, also known as "rattan", has a smooth skin and excellent elasticity. It is a tough plant.

Hitting the flesh can cause severe pain, but will only cause very little damage.

Even a severe beating only damages the flesh and not the muscles and bones.

Because of this characteristic, the rattan whip made from it became a torture tool in government offices.

Qingxuan held the cane in his hand, tried the feel, and said coldly: "Thirty times, no medicine should be applied as a punishment."

"Yes." Wu Shaohan felt bitter in his heart, sealed his inner strength, and then took off his clothes.

Scars appeared on half of his lean body.

Whip wounds, knife wounds, stab wounds, burns...

It can be seen from the skin how much blood Wu Shaohan has paid to get to this day.

"Swish, swish, swish..." The canes fell on the back like a storm, and ten lashes passed in the blink of an eye.

Rather than savoring the short-term pain when being punished, Qingxuan wanted to have long-term pain with him to serve as a wake-up call.

Compared with previous punishments, this time the cane withdrawal was not too harsh, but the pain was not reduced at all.

Wu Shaohan had a bitter look on his face and gritted his teeth to prevent himself from crying out in pain.

Qingxuan waited for him to take a breath, then raised the cane again...

Wu Shaohan's hands grasped his thighs tightly, and the cold sweat on his forehead fell on the moss on the ground, shining with a dark light under the firelight.

In the same mountain, candlelight flickers in front of the Buddha in Baotai Temple.

Since he was in an important place of Buddhism, Qin Junyi didn't mess around and went to bed early.

Su Yunwan didn't have time to collect supplies during the day, so she planned to go to the mountains after the rain stopped to see if there were any useful seeds.

So as soon as the rain stopped in the middle of the night, she released her spiritual power and explored the back mountain.

This time, his expression changed.
