"How is Zhan's guard?" Lord Bao pushed the door softly and entered the room. After learning that Zhan Zhao was in good health, he rushed over as soon as he finished his business.

"My lord, Guard Zhan's complexion has not been very good recently. Every time he returns home, he looks exhausted. And today, after escorting the suspect back home, he fell on the stone table in the back yamen, unconscious. Fortunately, Zhang Long Zhaohu discovered it in time, so that he would not be infected with the wind and cold. The student checked his pulse, although the pulse was a bit chaotic, but no suspicious symptoms were found, maybe it was just caused by overwork." Come on.

"That's right. Although he tried his best to conceal it, how could he hide it from me?" Lord Bao leaned over the side of the bed, and stretched out his hand to caress Zhan Zhao's hot forehead. His dark eyes showed an imperceptible pity.

Zhan Zhao fell asleep restlessly on the couch, his breathing was a little short, and there was forbearance between his slightly frowning brows...

"Then his injury..."

"A student once asked him, and he only said that it was an old injury he suffered when he went out to handle a case a few days ago, and he would heal soon, so he refused to let the student help to heal it. However, the students always felt that there was something wrong with the look of the guards at the exhibition. If not, keep an eye on it.”

Master Bao raised his eyes to look at Gongsun Ce with a calm expression, nodded slightly and said: "Well, I heard from the yamen servant that during this period of time, the guards of Zhan disappeared inexplicably almost every night, and their whereabouts are unknown. Although they have never delayed their official duties, it is also very strange. .” He seemed to have noticed something professionally after handling cases for many years.

"Then this time, I'm afraid it's also..." Gongsun Ce and Mr. Bao looked at each other, already knowing it in their hearts.

After a long time, the slightly closed eyes slowly opened. Against the backdrop of the setting sun, although there was a trace of tiredness in those eyes, they became brighter and brighter.The next moment, Master Bao's calm and serious face greeted him. When he suddenly realized that he had slept until dusk during his official duties, his solid shoulders trembled suddenly, and he hurriedly threw off the quilt and got out of bed.

"Where does Guard Zhan feel uncomfortable?" Mr. Bao pressed the panicked 'patient' on the bed who was about to get up and salute.

Even though Master Bao stopped him, he insisted on getting up, a few strands of messy hair on his forehead slightly covered his lowered eyelids. "This subordinate is fine, please rest assured, my lord. This subordinate has neglected his duty and delayed his official business, please punish him."

"During this period of time, there are really many official duties. It is difficult for Zhan's guards to run around for the residence. If they don't pay attention to rest, how can the residence be at ease. Lie down and rest quickly, cover the quilt, and don't catch cold." A pair of warm hands Stretching over, while supporting, those hands seemed to feel the body in the middle coat trembling slightly.

Zhan Zhao stood up again, raised his spotless eyes and said solemnly: "Master Xie, this subordinate is fine. The subordinate will do his best to make up for the delayed work due to this subordinate's neglect of duty, and today's incident will never happen again .”

"Guard Zhan should take a good rest, but don't wear down his body due to lack of rest. If this continues, everyone will be very embarrassed." Gongsun Ce said half-jokingly while helping Zhan Zhao to the bed.

Seeing Zhan Zhao obediently lying down to rest, everyone left in peace, but after a while, the cat was nowhere to be seen, and only the neatly folded quilt remained on the bed.

"Have you reached the limit again? It's really troublesome." Feng poked Zhan Zhao's head with his scabbard, but got no response.

"It's almost enough. Have you counted how many times he fainted?" Black Crow, who was watching the fun, couldn't stand it anymore. The barbaric practice of imposing a curse mark was cruel.

"Hmph, as long as I don't get killed, what does it matter to me if I faint a few times." Feng Nu pouted, not caring at all.

The black crow understood, and poured a large bowl of water on Zhan Zhao: "Don't you just shoot him to get revenge on you?"

The body lying on the ground moved, as if regaining consciousness, his arms trembling slightly supported the ground, and he stood up straight.

Wiping off the water marks on his face, he begged embarrassingly: "Zhan Zhao is ashamed, please try again, Mr. Feng."

"Yes, but not now. In your current situation, if you do it again, I will be able to use your lord Bao's guillotine." Hearing Zhan Zhao's voice was as low as a mosquito, knowing that his breath was not enough, Feng took some The food is given to Zhan Zhao. "Hurry up and eat, or you won't be able to go back to Kaifeng mansion."

"Thank you for your kindness." He smiled gratefully, took the food with both hands, and the blood spots on those hands were a little lighter than yesterday, presumably his body gradually adapted to it. "The matter of cursing... please be strict with your lord, don't worry about it. Because lord Bao is busy with business, I'm afraid he will be distracted by it, so Zhan Zhao and lord Bao haven't known about it yet. Even if lord Bao knew about it, he would Fully support the adults." Unlocking Feng's concerns, he blushed suddenly.

Feng casually munched on the steamed stuffed bun Heiya bought, and said vaguely: "It's okay to tell him, he will find out sooner or later. But don't worry, whether he knows or not, I will not show mercy."

"Thank you, sir. It's just that if you know, he will suffer more than Zhan Zhao, and Zhan Zhao doesn't want to see this."

Seeing Zhan Zhao's expression tightened, he was thoughtful. "So that's how it is." Feng's eyes flashed, and he turned his head and smiled slightly.

On a moonlit night, in the backyard of the Kaifeng Mansion, a black shadow deftly leaped up to the wall, turned his clothes, and landed floatingly. His movements were agile, and it was difficult to track his whereabouts in the night.The figure was about to open the door and sneak into the house, but suddenly heard a voice: "The guards are tired from official duties, why bother to climb over the wall, it is better to go through the door in the future." The shadow instinctively retracted, raised the sword, looked around, saw The person who spoke came slowly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"So it's Mr. Gongsun. It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" Zhan Zhao retracted his sword and smiled gently.

"Guard Zhan's complexion hasn't been good for the past few days. Today, he fainted suddenly. He refused to take a good rest, or sneaked away, but he came back so late. How can you rest assured me?" Gongsun Ce also laughed, unexpectedly Suddenly, I ran into this disobedient bad cat.

"I would like to trouble my lord and sir to note that Zhan Zhao is a martial arts practitioner, this small matter is not a problem. It's just that the recent cases were committed at night, and Zhan Zhao wanted to investigate, but he was afraid that the adults would not allow him, so he left without saying goodbye. And because I didn’t want to bother the brother guarding the door when I returned, I made this bad plan and disturbed my husband, I hope you will forgive me.”

Gongsun Ce rolled his bright eyes, and said in his heart: Although this night cat's words are flawless, its expression and whereabouts are inevitably suspicious, so let's observe it for a few more days. "So that's how it is. Zhan Wei's body is important, and he can't act without authorization. It's getting late, so let's rest early."

"Zhan Zhao respectfully sends you off, Mister."

Hearing that Gongsun Ce was going away, Zhan Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, lowered his eyes, clenched his fists tightly, and the uncontrollable scorching heat hit his body again.My lord must have noticed something, how can I hide my various words from my gentleman with extraordinary insight, I don’t know how long this situation can be kept hidden, I will inevitably ask my lord for my sins, no matter what, it is better than letting my lord accompany me to suffer.He gently fetched water to scrub his body, healed the wound, changed into dry clothes, and lay down on the couch.He was so preoccupied that he couldn't fall asleep for a while, and he had to pay attention to the strange reports he received frequently in the past two days. Last night, he witnessed an innocent family of three being massacred and hacked to death by those armors. How to protect any one of them, he can only escape by relying on Feng's power like that day... The wounds on the corpse are exactly the same as the ones left on him by the armor that night... The ominous rumors also seem to be spreading Spreading in the room... Thinking of this, he had to close his eyes slightly and force himself to adapt.

When he was still in the woods today, Feng said that in order for him to adapt as soon as possible, he would not completely close the curse seal after daily practice, but let it work slightly, and the strength increased day by day.
