A Faithful Dog's Secret Guard

Seeing that both of them stopped eating, Xiao Yin also lost interest in eating, so he sighed, put down his chopsticks and walked back to the study slowly.

These days he is busy testing each other with Jiang Xuan and Luo Chaozong behind him, and there is news in Beijing that the Holy Majesty is going to give him a marriage. Instead, it became a trivial matter.

It was not difficult to know that Jiang Yao was the person he was looking for. He had doubts for a long time, but this person always refused to admit it.

The reason why he couldn't bear to expose the truth that day anymore was because he couldn't bear to see Jiang Yao looking at him humblely and carefully with those clear eyes, like a small animal afraid of being abandoned by its master.

This person had saved himself back then, and was willing to risk his life for him. After years of reunion, this person knew the truth of what happened back then, but he was willing to be misunderstood by him without making excuses.

In fact, he couldn't figure out what kind of position Jiang Yao put himself in to be so humble and trembling.

There must be a reason he doesn't know, and he can't figure out whether he should ask, but before that, he really can't bear to deceive each other like this anymore, the way he looks at Jiang Yao will make him feel wrong Taste, and even deep guilt, and Jiang Yao should not be hurt again.

In any case, Jiang Yao did save him. Without Jiang Yao, he might have died in that dark dungeon back then, in the most miserable way and appearance, blind in both eyes and completely crippled. The person with ulterior motives gave him a high-sounding death, allowing him to reunite with more than 300 innocent souls of the Xiao family. From then on, no one will mention that matter again, and the murderers are still alive and well.

He thought that things would be much simpler after telling the truth, and that he would just make up for Jiang Yao in the future, but today he found that it didn't seem so simple, Jiang Yao seemed to be more distant from him than before.

Before, he treated Jiang Yao badly, and Jiang Yao rushed to get close to him, but now he regards Jiang Yao as a benefactor, offering delicious food and drink, why does this person still look depressed?

The more Xiao Yin thought about it, the more bored he became for no reason. He didn't know what he did wrong or did Jiang Yao hold grudges?

After repeated thinking to no avail, he summoned Ji Fengqing and Mo Feng, and asked some business matters in a serious manner. After the question, he was silent for a moment and asked, "You have all been in contact with Jiang Yao, why does he look so normal today? Happy?"

Ji Fengqing was stunned: "Huh?"

Why is Jiang Yao unhappy, you should ask Jiang Yao, how do other people know?

"He won't hold grudges against me, will he?" Xiao Yin frowned, "Although I did treat him badly before, I have already apologized to him face to face, and now I treat him well, why isn't he happy?"

Mo Feng has always been a seldom talker, but when he saw Ji Fengqing beside him, he became even more silent, treating himself as a mute, Ji Fengqing had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I don't think he is holding grudges, as far as I can see, he is not that kind of person , he should have other reasons."

"what reason?"

"Has Lord Hou been too indifferent to him these past two days?" Ji Fengqing never expected that he would be here one day to make such a move for Xiao Yin, "Master Hou just beat him up that morning and made him suffer. Punishment, Hou Ye was busy and didn't go to visit later, he must be feeling a little... uncomfortable."

Xiao Yin pondered for a while, felt that there seemed to be some reason, nodded and said: "Then I will take the initiative to see him?"

Ji Fengqing continued to suggest: "Accompany him to do something he likes." After speaking, he felt goosebumps all over his body. The more he said these words, the more weird they became, as if Xiao Yin was going to coax a sulking little daughter-in-law.

Xiao Yin also seemed to sense something was wrong, coughed awkwardly, and said: "He used to like playing chess quite a bit, I'll go play chess with him."

"Master, Jiang Yao still has the badge of the hidden guard on his body. If he no longer serves as a hidden guard, the dark pavilion should be taken back." Seeing that Xiao Yin was about to leave, Mo Feng stepped forward and said, "Please show me the master."

"Of course he doesn't work as a secret guard anymore, but now he is my benefactor, what's the point of being my secret guard?" Xiao Yin said, "If he has nowhere to go and wants to live here, let him live. Let his brother go and let him go."

Mo Feng nodded and said no more.

Xiao Yin stepped out and went to Jiang Yao's residence. The boy at the door said that Jiang Yao was sleepy as soon as he came back, and he didn't know what he was doing when he locked himself in the room. He became more and more suspicious and couldn't figure it out. Where did I provoke this person?

After entering the door, he saw Jiang Yao lying on the table at first glance. At first he thought Jiang Yao was crying, but when he saw the man's face, he found that although his eyes were a little red, he was not crying anyway, but looked very sad.

"Master...Hou Ye." Jiang Yao stood up, flapping his eyelashes subconsciously, rubbing his fingers to the dark guard badge on his waist, stroked his name and the word "Xiao" on it, bowed his head and did not speak.

Xiao Yin was at a loss for what to do when he looked at him like this, he curled his lips and was not in a good mood, he didn't know how to describe this strange feeling, like a puppy who keeps its sparkling eyes open every day Looking at you, wagging its tail to please you, and paying attention to you all the time, suddenly the puppy's eyes are not bright, its tail is not wagging, and it is not looking at you.

What does it feel like?

lost.

Xiao Yin also found it inconceivable that eight years later, he, who was cold and indifferent, would still be lost because of one person.

"It seems that you are not in a good mood, are you still angry with me?" Xiao Yin ordered the boy outside the door to set up the chessboard and sit on one side of the chessboard, "I told you that I will repay you later, so if you have any requests You can mention it to me, and I will satisfy you."

Jiang Yao, however, seemed more and more afraid to look at him, lowered his head and moved his lips, his complexion turned pale, and he didn't say a word for a while.

Xiao Yin also felt uncomfortable, pointed to the chessboard, and said: "Since I don't know what I want for the time being, can I play a game of chess with you?"

Jiang Yao hasn't practiced playing chess these days. He was worried about Xiao Yin but Xiao Yin said something fierce to him that day. Jiang Xuan's plan, but that matter still can't make him let go.

In fact, in Xiao Yin's eyes, he is a dispensable existence. Whether he was treated as a secret guard or servant in the past, or a so-called benefactor now, Xiao Yin did not entrust him with any trust, nor did he treat him as a benefactor. In his eyes, no matter how much he does, it will be in vain.

Xiao Yin's current attitude also showed that even if he had been kind to Xiao Yin, Xiao Yin would not like him a little bit more, not even a friend.

Now Xiao Yin said that he wanted to play chess with him, he didn't understand what the intention was, whether there was humiliation or teasing hidden behind Xiao Yin's calm expression, or he was guarding and probing as he did to Jiang Xuan, he didn't want to think about it .

After years of anticipation and countless thoughts at the time of life and death, he finally found out that it was just an empty joy. It turned out that he would also be disappointed and sad.

Under Xiao Yin's gaze, Jiang Yao walked over slowly and sat down, staring at the chessboard without saying a word, until Xiao Yin made a move before realizing it, picked up a chess piece and followed it up.

"Master Hou, I heard... the capital is going to give you a marriage?" Jiang Yao rubbed the chess piece in his hand, a small subconscious movement when he was nervous, and said softly.

Xiao Yin guessed that it was Jiang Xuan who said it, and he didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "It's true."

"Then will Lord Hou agree?" Jiang Yao lowered his eyes, and the black and white chess in his vision became blurred, "I don't know what family background the opponent is?"

Xiao Yin looked at Jiang Yao puzzledly, wondering why this man was so worried about his marriage, and replied casually: "Depending on the situation, I might agree temporarily. The palace probably wants me to marry Yuyanghou I have never seen her daughter, and I don't know what she looks like."

Jiang Yao casually dropped the chess pieces in one place, suppressing the soreness in his heart, and said, "Does Hou have someone he likes? Or have you ever imagined what the other person is like?"

Xiao Yin became more and more weird, and the direction of the conversation became more and more confusing, but after thinking about this question, he still shook his head and said: "I have no one I like, and I haven't thought about it."

Jiang Yao didn't know whether he should be thankful or smile wryly, so he could only keep silent in the end, and played chess with Xiao Yin for a while, and as expected, he lost miserably again.

"I've made great progress." Xiao Yin boasted, and smiled again, "If you still want to learn, you can come to me at any time."

In the past, Jiang Yao would have been happier than ever, but now he tried to hook his lips but felt reluctant.

"By the way, right now you can no longer be my hidden guard. According to the rules, you should return the previous belt card." Xiao Yin looked at the belt card hanging around his waist, "But you can keep it if you want ..."

Jiang Yao stood up and said, "I want to ask Lord Hou for a favor."

"You say yes, there is no need to use the word begging." Xiao Yin looked up at him, and smiled gently, "You are my benefactor, you can ask for anything."

"If Lord Hou agrees that I stay in Pingzhaohou's mansion, I think..." Jiang Yao bit his lip and knelt down on one knee, "I want to continue to be Lord Hou's secret guard."

Xiao Yin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "This is not good, you are me..."

"But Lord Hou was kind to me at the beginning. I remember it for many years, and I want to repay it well. The repayment back then is not counted. I accidentally poisoned Lord Hou. Now I want to make up for it." After speaking so many words in one breath, he seemed to be calm and composed, "Please also ask Lord Hou to fulfill you."

"You..." Xiao Yin looked into his dark eyes, and couldn't utter a word of rejection for a moment, "Actually, I can't make up my mind, the Dark Pavilion is in charge of Mo Feng, I have to... ask him what he means. "

Jiang Yao understood what it meant. What the dark guard wanted was absolute obedience. His relationship with Xiao Yin was a bit complicated now. Mo Feng might not dare to treat him like other dark guards, but instead added trouble to the dark pavilion.

"I won't make things difficult for Lord Hou." Jiang Yao closed his eyes, as if he had decided on a major matter that had been entangled for a long time, "I heard that Lord Hou will secretly go to the capital to lay out layouts in a while, maybe Lord Hou will need a few As a hidden guard with good skills, Lord Hou will regard me as repaying the kindness of the past. When the capital is in trouble, I will leave with Ah Xuan and will not disturb Lord Hou again."

"You want to leave?" Xiao Yinteng stood up, "Why did you suddenly decide to leave?"

"I promised Ah Xuan before." Jiang Yao avoided Xiao Yin's sight, and heard the vague urgency in his words, wondering if he would be a little bit reluctant, "I still have a poison that needs to be unraveled, Ah Xuan will accompany me to detoxify."

"Oh, detoxification..." Xiao Yin's mind is a little confused now, he hasn't felt like this for many years, "That, that's good..."

After speaking, he pretended to talk to Jiang Yao calmly, and then left in a daze.

Jiang Yao watched his leaving back, went to the window and knocked, a figure fell from the roof, and Lu Ying looked at him indifferently.

"Tell Ah Xuan, I promise him, I will go with him when the Lord Hou's capital is completed." Jiang Yao squeezed the hidden guard waist card in his hand, "but he is not allowed to do anything to hurt Lord Hou, No matter who it is, no one can hurt Lord Hou again."
