After rebirth, the leader only wants to be with the shadow guard

After lunch, Ying Shiyi didn't rest either. He lay on the bed and looked at the accounts.

He learned what Lou Jingyu taught him, and wanted to watch and practice more on his own.

He lay on the bed, with his chin supported by one hand and the other hand flipping through the accounts, reading very seriously, sometimes thinking, sometimes having a sudden realization, he was an extremely qualified student.

Lou Jingyu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him lovingly, reaching out to pull the quilt over to cover his waist and abdomen.

He stroked Eleven's back and asked him, "Shall I have someone light the charcoal brazier?"

It's winter now, and even though the windows are closed, it's still a bit chilly.

However, it was only early winter, and the two of them were martial artists, so they didn't feel it was that cold.

But Lou Jingyu was still afraid that he would be cold.

Ying Eleven shook his head, "No, I'm not cold."

The unique techniques of building houses in the capital, the materials and structures are designed to keep the house dry and warm. The bedroom is not as spacious and bright as the inner room of Canglan Palace, and it is not ventilated on both sides. It will be a bit dry and stuffy when the charcoal basin is lit.

After staying in the humid climate of Danqi Mountain for a long time, Ying Shiyi was afraid that it was too dry and Lou Jingyu would not be able to adapt, so he did not want to use charcoal fire.

"Ayu, I'm really not cold. I'm still covered with a blanket."

Ying Shiyi was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so he put his warm hand into Lou Jingyu's.

"Look, my hands are hot," he said.

Lou Jingyu laughed, "I just had a meal, isn't it hot?"

He had no choice but to have someone bring two hot water bottles and stuff them into the quilt. After Ying Shiyi looked at the account book for a while, he took the scroll away and turned him over.

"Okay, okay, we have to go to bed on the eleventh hour, otherwise we won't have energy in the afternoon." He leaned down to coax them.

Ying Shiyi curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled shyly at him, then she put her arms around his arm and actually felt a little sleepy.

"Ayu, are you taking a break too?"

"Okay, I'll accompany you." Lou Jingyu said as he took off his outer robe and got on the bed. He pulled the quilt over Ying Shiyi and hugged him to sleep.

After a while, Ying Shiyi fell asleep.

Lou Jingyu opened his eyes and looked at the embroidery on the bed curtains with a relaxed expression.

He really didn't want to get out of bed while holding her in his arms. He played with a few strands of Ying Shiyi's hair with his fingers and gently kissed Ying Shiyi's face with the fragrance of soapberry.

But there is no choice but to get down to business.

Lou Jingyu quietly lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He tucked the quilt in for the person on the bed, put on his boots and walked out of the room.

He made an appointment with Gu Yezhou and Zhao Buchi to discuss things in the afternoon.

----

A while after Lou Jingyu came out, Gu Yezhou and Zhao Buchi arrived. The two went to the conference room to sit and drink tea and discuss matters.

"I heard that someone from the Ji family came to see you?" Gu Yezhou asked.

Lou Jingyu nodded, "It's just a small matter. Ji Zhongli doesn't have the energy to care about others now. After all, the Ji family is going to fall, right?"

Gu Yezhou smiled slightly. This was the truth.

"The situation in the court is now clear. No matter who comes, the Ji family will not be able to be saved this time." Zhao Buchi said, and then took a sip of tea.

They are all smart people, so Lou Jingyu didn't beat around the bush and said, "What kind of thing can't be saved? The Daxia officials are lenient and merciful in their handling of the matter, so they should not leave any trouble."

Lou Jingyu has been in the martial arts world for so many years, and he has always done things by cutting the grass and eradicating it without leaving any trouble, so he is very disdainful of the court's punishment of confiscating property and exiling...

Greed for money and murder, oppression in officialdom, power struggles, and even crimes that endanger the country, the final treatment is so confusing that it is like playing house.

On the contrary, those loyal ministers and generals would be implicated in the entire clan for a single crime.

A lot of these things happened during the reign of the current old emperor.

Within twenty years, less than a generation, it had become a scourge again.

After all, you can't burn all the weeds; they will grow again with the spring breeze.

Gu Yezhou's expression remained gentle, knowing his concerns.

The people of the Ji family have enjoyed wealth and glory for so many years, so naturally they will not be willing to accept this. If they are lucky enough to survive but are not honest, there will definitely be endless troubles.

"The Ji family's crimes are serious enough. You can rest assured, Master. No one who deserves to be executed will be spared." Gu Yezhou explained.

Lou Jingyu nodded and explained it to him in advance:

"I am not going to slaughter innocent people. Those servants are just working for money, so I will not pursue them. The court will deal with the elderly, women, children and family members of the Ji family. I will only deal with those who need to be dealt with. If these people are not dead in the end, I will take action to deal with them."

Gu Yezhou and Zhao Buchi nodded to show that they understood. They were all used to seeing the unpredictable human nature, so they naturally understood this point.

"I understand that if you want to cut the grass, you must remove it at the root." Gu Yezhou replied.

The three of them had a lot to discuss, especially Lou Jingyu and Gu Yezhou, who were used to sorting out all the matters under their hands and tracking them at all times. The tea had gone cold three times.

When the servant came up to change the tea for the third time and brought new snacks, Zhao Buchi was already tired.

He wondered how these two people could think so quickly and have so much energy.

He sighed in his heart and let Lou Jingyu and Gu Yezhou chat while he ate some snacks with his tea.

"This snack is delicious. Why haven't I seen it in Beijing?"

During a break in the conversation, Zhao Buchi asked a question.

The dessert in the white porcelain lotus plate is round, with a juicy red crust and white cheese inside. You can taste the different layers inside when you take a bite. It tastes slightly sweet at first, then sour, and finally you can taste the fragrant milk flavor, which is an unexpected fusion.

"People are shaped by the land and water they live in. These are our local snacks. Eleven loves these sour and sweet things the most. He won't eat pastries that are too sweet."

Lou Jingyu's tone was much softer when he spoke. Although his little Eleven was able to endure hardships and could even chew tree bark when in danger, he also had a childish temper, but he just didn't say it. It took Lou Jingyu a long time to see this.

Zhao Buchi ate the remaining half and agreed, "But this is indeed delicious."

"If you like it, just take some back." Lou Jingyu said generously.

Gu Yezhou also tried one, thinking that he would bring some back for Shen Ziyu when he left.

He joked, "The fireworks at Tingyan Lake last night were seen by everyone in the city. Some people are even trying to figure out who was so generous. Master Lou, this is a huge sum of money for Young Master Lou's smile."

Although it was a joke, it was also the truth, and someone had already found out about it from him.

Some people vaguely heard that it was a hobby of people in the martial arts world, but those who heard it did not dare to believe it. Who had the strength and financial resources to do so? They did not even dare to guess that it was related to the Chiyang Sect, so it became a rumor.

Lou Jingyu lowered his head and smiled slightly, his tone was like showing off: "I am not a king, nobility, general or minister, why should I restrain myself? If I can make him smile, wouldn't it be the easiest to spend some gold and silver?"

Gu Yezhou and Zhao Buchi felt the snacks in their hands suddenly tasted much sour and they started laughing.
