Since the establishment of the blood contract that day, under Nie Zhen's careful care, Xiao Luomo's health has improved day by day, and his appetite has gradually returned to normal. It took only five days to go out of the yard with the system to play as usual. Added a strange hobby, other aspects are very healthy.

Nie Zhen cared about it. Except for the morning court and military training in the barracks, he basically didn't go out every day. Even if he went out, he carefully took the cat with him, lest something would happen if he was negligent.

The noble daughters and courtiers in the capital who followed Prince Rui noticed his abnormality one after another. They thought that before Xiao Luomo was injured, Nie Zhen had intimately led a blue-eyed boy into and out of the palace. Interested people speculated about the boy's identity, and rumors arose everywhere.

Xiao Luomo didn't care about these things, and occasionally heard the comments from the servants in the mansion, and only thought that others were full and had nothing to do, so they didn't care, so that a few shadow guards who knew about it felt a little sympathetic to their lord when they saw it.

On the day of the Zhongyuan Festival, the housekeeper ordered the dining hall to slaughter sheep and cook them for sacrifices, and other servants also took orders to get ready.

Xiao Luomo was very curious when the shadow guards said that the mansion was preparing for a sacrifice, and insisted on pestering Nie Zhen to take it out to see.The system couldn't wait to float out, and when it saw a few paper flags hanging at the door, it couldn't help shaking.

Seeing little Luomo being carried out by Nie Zhen, he couldn't wait to go down to the paper flag. The system hurriedly rushed to the front of the kitten to stop it, and said seriously: "This thing can't move, it's insect-proof and evil-proof, you're already a black cat." It's ominous, what should I do if I move and mess with dirty things?"

Xiao Luomo resisted the urge to raise his paw to slap the system, and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm a lucky cat." As it spoke, it walked to the servants and saw that they used some powder to draw a gray circle in front of the door , and burned the paper money in the circle, he could not help meowing and asked Nie Zhen, "Are they offering sacrifices like this? But it doesn't seem very environmentally friendly."

Nie Zhen stood behind it. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and glanced around. Seeing that the housekeeper was holding a handful of wheat flour-shaped "noodle man" in his hand, he stretched out his hand and asked for one. The kitten squatted behind and put the dough man in front of it, "Do you want this?"

Xiao Luomo curiously raised his paw to slap the face, but Nie Zhen dodged it. He simply sniffed and shook his head. "This smells bad, is it for eating?"

"Well. Farmers have these customs, and most of the people in the mansion are from ordinary people, so they have continued these habits." Nie Zhen returned the mask to the housekeeper, reached out and stood up with the cat in his arms.

"Do you want to worship ghosts during the Ghost Festival?" Xiao Luomo asked.

"Prince Rui's Mansion will use paper money to sacrifice cattle and sheep, but not all customs will do it. The palace has done a good job in this aspect. The national teacher should open an altar today to perform rituals and forgive sins for the dead." Nie Zhen replied.

"Then can we go and see?" Xiao Luomo looked forward to it.

"You are not allowed to walk outside at night during Ghost Festival." Nie Zhen rubbed the kitten's forehead, "If the king takes you into the palace, tomorrow the national teacher will come to the palace to drive away evil spirits for you."

"Alright then." Xiao Luomo nodded regretfully.

Seeing that it was drooping, Nie Zhen thought for a while and coaxed, "If the cat wants to play, how about waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival to bring you to the palace to participate in the palace banquet? Enjoy the moon, set off fireworks, make lanterns, and guess lantern riddles."

"Okay." Xiao Luomo finally became happy.

The system shook his head from the side, "It's so coaxing. Why don't you let Nie Zhen take you to fly a kite? Farmhouses outside the capital should have this activity. There are also some fishermen who make boats out of wooden boards and stick a sticker on them The article says "for the use of the dead of such and such", and then load food, clothes and hats and other things, light candles, and the married man will put the boat into the river. That is more fun."

"How do you know so clearly?" Xiao Luomo asked in surprise.

"This system has seen it in other worlds before, how is it? Are you going?" the system said enthusiastically.

"No." Xiao Luomo refused without hesitation. "Nie Zhen is the prince, and many people pay attention to him. If he goes to the palace, people will gossip about him, and he doesn't like excitement."

The system had no choice but to give up after hearing the words, and was about to calm down and talk about the task, when out of the corner of its eye, it suddenly caught a glimpse of a person hiding on the beam not far away.It floated over to observe carefully for a while, and then floated back to follow Xiao Luomo in a strange mood.

The kitten had already been taken to the study by Nie Zhen. It was playing with toys by itself in the cubicle of the study. Nie Zhen was outside listening to his subordinates report on official duties.

After playing for a quarter of an hour, the kitten stood up and stretched. It turned its head to look at the system that had been sitting motionless, glanced at the beams of the room, and chose to ask through the space of consciousness: "Why are you stuck here?" don't move?"

The system changed its position and lay down, and asked mysteriously, "Did that shadow guard that Prince Rui gave you talk to you before?"

"You said Yingwu? He said it. He told me stories." Xiao Luomo asked, "Why do you ask this?"

The system asked instead, "What do you think of this shadow guard?"

"It's okay." The kitten glanced at the beam, "He looks quite gentle, but something is wrong when he talks to me."

"Does he know that you can transform into a human?" The system's tone suddenly became serious.

"You know." Xiao Luomo hesitated, "I entered the palace last time, and Nie Zhen only hugged the cat when I came back. go out."

The rules of the Dark Pavilion have always been strict, and most of those who violated the order could not get out of the torture hall. Nie Zhen's deterrent power was enough to make all the shadow guards keep silent about its origin.

"Luo Mo, you'd better ask Prince Rui to change it for you." The system persuaded after thinking for a long time, "This Ying Wubu is not suitable for protecting you."

"Why? Ying Qi said that Ying Wu had a son before, and he loved his son very much, so he treated me better. He doesn't seem to have any problems." Xiao Luomo said.

"..." The system wiped off his sweat, "Is it okay? Let me tell you the truth, this Yingwu's son died a long time ago, and he committed suicide. He committed suicide after falling out of love. His crush is his father." , do you understand what I mean?"

Xiao Luomo blinked blankly, and tilted his head, "I understand what you said separately, but together... I don't understand it."

The system also seemed to be a little hard to speak, and struggled for a long time before saying, "I can't find much information. Prince Rui and the people in the secret cabinet should only know that Yingwu loved his son very much, and then his son died of illness. But the fact It's not that simple. His son was raised in a farm family in the early years. Later, when the plague broke out, the couple died and took the child back. I don't know how he raised him. In short, his son committed suicide after having a relationship with him. , Ying Wu probably still has a love poem written by his son in his hand."

Xiao Luomo lowered his head in shock and bit his paw, bit his mouth hair, and quickly opened his mouth to release his paw. It seemed to want to say something, but it never said anything, and finally just looked at the system innocently.

"I know you are shocked, this system has a horse in its heart just like you." The system turned over and sat up, "Existences like us always know more than you, and there is no such thing as Ying Wu Wash. In short, you should change to a shadow guard as soon as possible. According to my observation, he should think that you are young and ignorant, so he didn't cover it up much, which made the system find out that something was wrong. I think he hid it very well when Nie Zhen was here. .”

"But I'm not his son." Xiao Luomo was puzzled, "And did his son really die because of him? Why did he commit suicide?"

"His son was rejected by him, I can't think about it." The system said helplessly, "Actually, it's not his fault. At most, lax discipline made his son go astray. In a short period of time, this is not a matter of willingness to fight? Who can guarantee that he does not have a fetish/pedophilia? Our system will never make mistakes in controlling the information related to the mission world, and I cannot let you take risks."

"It sounds like there is a problem. After all, if he rejects his son, even if an accident happens once, it is impossible to have a second and third time." Little Luomo nodded in agreement, he hesitated for a while, and said obediently, "I'm looking for a chance Tell Nie Zhen."

After he finished speaking, he began to think about what excuses he could use to persuade Nie Zhen to change him to a shadow guard, but he just shook his head, and a man in a black suit appeared in front of him.

"No way, why did he come right after he finished speaking?" The system couldn't believe it.

Xiao Luomo also took a step back slowly, and looked at the person in front of her with her round sapphire blue cat eyes.

Ying Wu looked at the cute kitten and showed a hearty smile. He bent down and put a small bell on the couch, coaxing, "The kitten should like this? The kittens of Ying Qi said how cute the prince's cat is." Hi, I have to give you a gift, this is our 'first' meeting."

Xiao Luomo nodded his head, and looked up at Ying Wu, who was tall and strong with a hideous scar on his face. It was really hard to imagine that the other party would have such a relationship with his son.To be honest, it doesn't think it discriminates. Although such things are against human relations, it is a human problem after all, and it doesn't understand it very well.The main reason is that the way Yingwu looked at it sometimes made it uncomfortable, so he agreed to the system to change to a shadow guard.

Seeing that the kitten was obedient and didn't bark, Ying Wu turned around and glanced at the door, expecting that Prince Rui would not come back so soon, so he planned to look at the kitten for a while.

There are very few such little guys in the palace, and the shadow guards find it very novel.

Xiao Luomo only patted the bell with his paw, then pushed the bell to the innermost side of the bed, raised his paw and pressed the wooden button over there, then sat down and waved his paw, the bell flew up and jumped Entered the newly opened lattice, and was closed by it again.

After finishing all this, the kitten walked to the other side and sat down, opened the picture book with its paws, and read it carefully.

Ying Wu has been observing its movements, his eyes slowly becoming a little dazed, as if in a trance.His lips moved slightly, as if to say something, which was barely audible.

But the system caught that sentence, and immediately said in horror, "He is looking at you and calling Geer. As expected, this shadow guard is abnormal."

"Isn't Goer the saint of Solo?" Xiao Luomo asked.

"It's a song to sing, and his son's name is Yingge." The system rubbed its chin in great perplexity, "Why would you call your son's name to a cat? Even if he knew that you can change form, it wouldn't be like that. I suspect This shadow guard has some mental problems, maybe he has paranoia."

Xiao Luomo stopped looking at the picture book, and looked at Ying Wu.

The other party seemed to wake up suddenly when he met its gaze, and looked away a little bit dodgingly, smiled awkwardly, then said nothing, and stepped on the beam again.

***

Xiao Luomo didn't find a chance to "complain" to Nie Zhen to get him to "fire" Yingwu until the end of the sacrifice in the Shushi mansion. The system said it was useless.

"But Ying Wu has been following us. It seems too much for me to say it directly. Even if you don't use his son as an excuse, it's not good to just find other excuses." Xiao Luomo defended himself.

"You are soft-hearted." The system spread its hands.

Xiao Luomo was so choked that he had nothing to say, and didn't want to deal with the system any more, so he just rubbed against Nie Zhen's arms and was carried to sleep by the man.

On the other side, Ying Si and Ying Qi came back from duty, and when they walked to Heng'an Garden, Ying Si suddenly said, "Boss seems to be a little depressed recently, do you want to go and see him?"

"Xiao Yingge's death day is coming soon." Ying Qi sighed, and he patted Ying Si on the back, "If you want to see, hurry up, don't wait for him to fall asleep."

After the two agreed, they flew to the backyard with lightness kung fu and came to the door of Ying Wu's room. Ying Qi raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but Ying Si grabbed his wrist and turned his head angrily to speak.

"Don't make a sound!" Ying Si lowered his voice, he pulled Ying Qi towards him almost pale, and motioned him to put his ear to the door.

Ying Qi glanced at him worriedly, put his ear to him, and then widened his eyes in shock.

A man who was clearly familiar but sounded extremely strange gasped from the room, with strong passion/desire, the man's hoarse voice was speaking intermittently, but the content of the words made them tremble all over.

Ying Qi looked at Ying Si with a pale face, took out a dagger and carefully poked a hole in the hidden place by the door, and then looked in with great anxiety.

I saw Yingwu leaning on the simple bed, the upper body was fully clothed, and the lower/half/body/naked/naked/was leaning against the wall in pain with his eyes closed, one hand was moving underneath, the other He actually took a dark blue robe in his hand, put it between his nose and sniffed deeply.The pleasure seemed to completely erode his reason, so that he completely lost his vigilance. He gasped/panted/muttered two names that they were both familiar with...

Ge'er and... Xiao Luomo...

On the simple big bed, scattered here and there... are all the toys and clothes of the cats who have disappeared for no reason...

Cold sweat dripped from Ying Si's forehead, he took a deep breath and didn't dare to look any more, quickly pulled Ying Qi away and left the backyard as if fleeing for his life.And Ying Qi seemed to have finally reacted, and ran wildly after him.

It wasn't until they left Heng'an Garden completely and came to a courtyard that had been idle for a long time in the palace, that the two stopped, bent down and panted violently.

"Ying Si, this..." Ying Qi opened his mouth with difficulty, but couldn't utter a word with his eyes wide open.

"He is absolutely crazy!" Ying Si said incoherently, "How did he do such an outrageous thing? Ying Ge is just a child. Although the young master looks like an adult, there is a difference between him and a child? The prince dotes on him. It looks like an eyeball, to be so... no wonder I felt something was wrong that day..."

"What should we do about this?" Ying Qi wiped his face and asked.

"What else can I do? Of course it is to sue the prince." Ying Si's face was still pale, "Now he can steal the young master's clothes and toys to do such a thing after only meeting him a few times, no matter whether it is difficult or not, we will wait for him Attack the young master? If that's the case, the prince will have to kill him directly."

"But the prince's temperament..." Ying Qi wondered, "If we confess the boss, he won't be able to come out of the dark pavilion alive."

"Then what do you say?" Ying Si asked.

"Let's let him, either persuade him to stop, or persuade him to leave the palace. The prince hasn't found out yet, but it's hard to guarantee that the boss will show his feet. If he is really seen, he will really be finished." Ying Qi patted Ying Si on the shoulder.

"Okay. That's it." Shadow Four covered his face and bent down, "I just didn't expect him to do that. You know, for us, he has always been the goal and direction of our Shadow Guard's efforts. I was worried about him just now. Has something happened recently..."

Ying Qi lowered his eyes sadly when he heard the words, and took Ying Si's arm to lead the person away.

***

On the other side, the system lurked in Yingwu's bedroom to observe the whole process, and then returned to the main courtyard weakly. He only felt that his eyes were uncomfortable, and he kept washing his eyes with water.

Nie Zhen was sitting at the table reading official documents, and Xiao Luomo was playing chess by himself on the small couch next to him. Seeing System turned his head upside down and stuck his head in the basin, he wondered, "Aren't you unable to touch water?"

"Yes." The system pulled its head up, its body still dry, "But for psychological comfort, the system still needs them to help me calm down and wash my eyes."

"Where did you go just now? Why did you wash your eyes?" Xiao Luomo messed up the flags and rearranged them, and asked, "Did you peek at Xiuniang taking a bath again and accidentally saw Aunt Wang?"

"...Almost." The system was not embarrassed, "Luomo, I just wanted to go shopping to see if there were any interesting things, and then I saw Yingwu in hand/yin."

"That's so miserable..." Xiao Luomo glanced at the system sympathetically, "Ying Wu looks so rough... It's hard for you."

Xiao Luomo knows that the system only likes little girls, and is very disgusted with men who are big and thick.

"The point is not what you understand." The system waved its hand weakly, and sighed in confusion, really not knowing whether to tell Xiao Luomo what it saw.

Theoretically speaking, Xiao Luomo is its host. In order to protect the host, it should remind it, but the kitten itself is very simple. When erasing memory, it also erases this part.Therefore, Xiao Luomo at this moment is a blank sheet of paper in this regard.

"Didn't you say today that you want Nie Zhen to fire Yingwu? He's not here now, so hurry up and say it." After thinking about it, the system decided to deal with the important things first, as long as they get rid of the person, Yingwu's perverted behavior It can be completely forgotten.

"That's right." Little Luomo also remembered, and it turned its head and called out to Nie Zhen, "Meow, I want to hug."

Nie Zhen put down the official document, stood up a few steps, went to pick up the cat, went back to the table and sat down, and said softly, "What's wrong with the cat?"

"I don't want Yingwu to be my shadow guard anymore." Xiao Luomo said seriously, "I want to change to another."

"Why?" Nie Zhen smiled, "Ying Wu's martial arts is the best among the shadow guards, and he also stayed in the Dark Pavilion the longest."

"I don't like him very much, he's not fun." Xiao Luomo gave a reason casually.

"But what did Yingwu do that displeased Maomao?" The smile on Nie Zhen's face faded, and his eyes were cold.

"No. I just want to change to someone else." Xiao Luomo decided to play tricks directly, "Don't want him to be a shadow guard, change to someone else."

Nie Zhen lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then asked softly, "Then who do you want?"

The system hurriedly said, "Tell him that he wants Shadow Two, or Shadow One, those two are very honest."

"Shadow Two." Xiao Luomo said.

Nie Zhen was silent for a moment, "If you want to change the shadow guard, Maomao has to return Yingwu's jade pendant to him, and I will give it to him tomorrow. It's just that Maomao has to promise me one thing."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Luomo was very surprised, Nie Zhen rarely asked him to do something.

"There has been a severe drought in Chongzhou in the past few months. Brother Huang is very worried. He has ordered the national teacher to pray for rain in Chongzhou tomorrow. Master Yuan An sent someone to write a letter yesterday, hoping that you can come forward to help the national teacher. Just because praying for rain is to pray for the grace of God. Maomao is able to go with the national teacher, he must be blessed by the heavens, and he will not endure too much pain in the future."

"That is to say, once the rain prayer is successful, the rain prayer will be blessed. Then...who is the person who originally arranged to go with the national teacher?" Xiao Luomo looked into Nie Zhen's eyes intently.

Nie Zhen's Adam's apple twitched, and said in a low voice, "It's my king."

Master Yuan'an did ask one person to pray for rain with the national teacher, but he did not appoint Xiao Luomo, but Nie Zhen, in order to relieve the pain and hidden dangers caused by his insanity.But the kitten was far more important to him than mere damage to the soul, so he changed his rhetoric.

"Maomao promises, so don't go back on it. Tomorrow, the rain praying ceremony will start, and the king will send you there. There is no need to be afraid."
