It doesn't matter what the lord is.

Went back to the room and sat down again.

The three of them physically hugged each other.

After sitting for a while, I raised my hand and said:

"I want to go out for a walk."

The two men stood up again immediately.

Like two door gods, following me from left to right

I'm really convinced.

"First of all, I must thank you two for your dedication in keeping me safe. But to be honest, I feel a little hot..."

The two men moved aside a little after hearing this.

About two centimeters.

What's the use of this?! Do you want me to perform a magic trick? Make you disappear? You're here one second and gone the next?

The point is, even if I disappeared so suddenly, it would only make Alaya and Felita extremely anxious, and then make the entire Yuxi City even more chaotic.

After a while of being outside in the wind, it was almost noon. The time I agreed with Shiloh was mid-morning, and two or three hours had passed. I knew that the more anxious I was, the easier it would be for Alaya and Felita to see something, so I didn't go to the kitchen to cook until noon.

Alayya and Felita naturally stood at the door to protect them throughout the process.

I simply cooked a few dishes, then boiled a pot of soup and added some ingredients into it.

This is the [Dream Powder] I prepared myself. It is colorless, has a special fragrance, and is non-toxic. The effect is to make people fall asleep easily, especially when the other party is not alert. It was originally prepared for my own use to prevent insomnia in the middle of the night, and now I use it for emergency purposes.

I'm sorry, Alayya, Fileta.

After serving the food, Alayya said that they should take turns eating to prevent being attacked while eating. This was exactly what I wanted. Alayya had lunch first. After eating, the effect of the medicine was not so fast, so she was still on guard. But when Fileta was ready to eat, Alayya began to yawn lightly.

I asked with pretended concern:

"Alaiya, are you sleepy?"

There was some doubt in Alaiya's eyes, but she still answered:

"Yes, Master. But don't worry, I don't need to rest yet."

I quickly said:

"Hmm...but you don't seem to be in good shape. If that assassin comes, are you sure?"

Alayya remained silent.

I glanced at Fileta who was eating and said with a smile:

"How about this, let Fileta stand guard for you for a while. You can take a nap to recuperate. I'll call you if anything happens."

Alayya held the sword in hesitation.

I said calmly:

"Alaiya, what you want to do is to protect me, not 'pretend to protect me', right?"

Alaiya trembled all over and said softly:

"I understand, Master."

After saying that, she glanced at Fileta worriedly.

Fileta said:

"Don't worry. I will take good care of the master. Once the assassin comes, the spell will react. Besides, Alayya, aren't you very sensitive to murderous intent? You will definitely wake up no matter what."

Alayya then lay down on the bed with some concern, but sleepiness came over her and she fell asleep as soon as she relaxed a little.

That leaves Fileta.

Although Fileta said it lightly, she didn't sleep much last night and was always drawing those spells. After a bowl of soup, she still sat around me vigilantly at first, but her speed of looking around became slower and slower, she dozed off several times, and finally fell asleep leaning on my shoulder.

When she fell asleep and her sparkling saliva dripped onto my shoulder, I gently picked up her plump body, put her on the bed, and covered her with a blanket.

Get it done.

After these two people went to sleep, the security outside Yuxi City was useless to me. But I didn't expect that one day I would have to act like a thief when leaving my house, first climbing onto the roof, then carefully bypassing the patrol, and finally climbing over the wall and running away quietly.

Although the guards outside were unable to find me, they were more than capable of protecting the City Lord's Mansion from harm.

Grabbing the fishing rod and bucket, I hurried out of the city.

50. A sentence about being in charge

When I arrived at the river, I saw Shiloh squatting there, staring at the river in a daze.

I walked over to her and squatted down. Shiloh stared at me for a while, then looked away and whispered:

"I thought you weren't coming."

I put my hands together to apologize to her and explained the situation to her. There was no trace of sadness or joy on Shiloh's face, but she didn't seem too angry either. She just picked up a golden beard insect from the side and replied:

"Catch some fish. Use this."

It was then that I noticed that there was a small pit surrounded by stones next to her, with about fifty or sixty golden-whiskered worms wriggling in it. If someone didn't know, they would think she was going to sell these.

It is not easy to catch golden beetles in winter. They hide deep in the soil and only near tree roots. They feed on the sap of the roots and can avoid the cold outside because they are deep in the soil. I thought that Shiloh would only need to catch a few, but I didn't expect her to find so many.

When I looked at Xiluo, I found that she had a faint look of fatigue on her face. The corners of her eyes drooped a little more than before, and her hair was messy. Her ears and face were red from the cold, and she blew gently on her hands while talking to me. She should have been waiting for me here very early today, but I didn't come, so she continued to wait for me while searching for the golden beard worm.

Maybe she would also think about things like "Will the other party arrive earlier?" which are things she often thinks about when waiting for someone.

I handed her the fishing rod that I had made last night, and taught her how to put the bait on the hook and throw the rod into the water.

Shiloh just held the fishing rod and waited silently.

I saw her knuckles were red from the cold, so I asked her if she wanted to sit in front of me. Shiloh didn't answer, but stood up, walked to me, sat in the space between my legs, leaned back, and leaned on me. I held her small body in my arms, and she held the long fishing rod in her arms. It would be warmer this way, and the only thing to worry about was that the two fishing lines would not get tangled together. An experienced person like me still had a steady hand.

Maybe it was just beginner's luck, but within two minutes, a silver scale fish was hooked. When the lively fish was caught, Shiloh took out his knife and killed it with one cut. He then dissected its stomach, removed the internal organs, and set it aside.

Throughout the entire process, she did not show any tenderness and simply treated the fish as food.

But then Shilo wasn't so lucky. No fish took the bait for half an hour. Instead, I caught two fish, which were eaten by Shilo.

Shiloh murmured softly:

"It's obviously faster to just grab it."

I smiled and said:

"That's part of the fun of fishing. If you just catch fish, it's not that interesting. Fishing has a flavor of life, but if you catch fish, it's just like survival."

Hiro asked again in a statement tone:

"You're pretty good at fishing."

I replied:

"I guess so. I find it very interesting when the fish bites the hook."

Shiloh waited for another ten minutes, and when no fish took the bait, she suddenly said:

"So he's also good at catching people's hearts."

I squinted my eyes. Shiloh didn't look at me, but at the sparkling water. The cold wind blew, and I tried my best to block the wind for her. I thought about this question and didn't know how to answer it, but I didn't intend to hide anything, so I said frankly:

"If it's human nature, I'll do it another way. The hook is straight and the bait is salty, three feet from the water, and those who are willing will take the bait. Once you are on the hook, you can also leave and jump into the water, and I won't look for you anymore."

Xi Luo held the fishing rod and said softly:

“…That’s why it’s so easy for people to fall into it.”

Finally, she caught a fish. When Xiluo lifted the rod, it was a big fish. But this time it was not a silver scale fish, but another kind of fish, Lujia fish, which had very glutinous meat and was suitable for making soup. Xiluo still killed the fish neatly, put it aside, and wiped the knife in his hand.

After we caught ten fish, I took out the utensils from the iron bucket and cooked a pot of fish soup. This time, I sprinkled rice in the fish soup and cooked it into a soup. Xiluo was more interested in the grilled fish. I don't know if it was because the sauce had all dissolved in the water last time, so she put a lot of sauce on it this time.

Although those sauces are actually quite expensive, I don’t feel too bad about it.

When the fish was cooked, I served the fish soup, and we sat together, eating the fish and drinking the soup.

Shiloh was very satisfied with his grilled fish. He licked the branches that held the fish clean and chewed up the bones. I was more casual and didn't eat the fish with many bones. I was a typical spendthrift. As a result, the fish I had finished was also taken away and eaten by Shiloh.

Although I really want to complain that this is also considered an indirect kiss, but when I think about it, I have already done the direct kiss, so I feel embarrassed to worry about it.

After we had eaten our fill, Shiloh and I lay on the ground, both in similar postures, stroking our round bellies and breathing a sigh of relief with satisfaction.

I turned my head to look at Shiloh and found that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. The amplitude was very small, but it was obvious that she was smiling.

"It would be nice if it could stay like this."

Shiloh said.

I responded:

"Sure. Next spring, we'll dig a pond nearby and fill it with fish fry. When the fish grow up, we'll come and fish. By then, I want the whole world to know that this pond is owned by the two of us."

"next year."

Shiloh repeated the word, pursed his lips, and said:

"I will definitely come."

The weather is fine and the warm sun is shining all over the world.

The clouds were high and far away, and the sky was pure blue. It was totally unimaginable that there were gods living up there.

There are only the various kinds of human beings on this vast earth.

Shiloh and I lay together like this, neither of us spoke. It was not until the warmth brought by the fish soup and grilled fish gradually dissipated that I said:

"Let's go back."

Alayya and Fileta were about to wake up.

Shiloh repeated, saying:

"Let's go back."

She put her little hand in mine, I put my coat on her, held her hand, and walked towards Yuxi City.

Then, a veiled woman was seen in the middle of the cement road, some distance away from the city gate.

Her expression wasn't as cold as Shiloh's, but there wasn't any tenderness in it either.

The moment Shiloh saw her, he stopped, like a mouse seeing a cat.

The young woman stood there, not moving, not speaking, not looking at me, but only looking at Shiloh who was beside me.

After a period of silence, her veil fluttered slightly, and a simple sentence disappeared in the wind:

"How long are you going to play this game of house? Stop being the boss."

Shiloh's hand slipped out of my palm and fell to her side. She lowered her head, her small body trembling, and the smile on her face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. The corners of her mouth that had been raised with great difficulty fell down and returned to her usual appearance.

From that moment on, I no longer had any kindness in my eyes when looking at that woman.

51. The Young Master with No Respect

Whether my gaze was gentle or not seemed to have no effect on her at all.

The young woman turned her eyes away from Shiloh and looked at me, with a hint of teasing in her eyes, and said:

"The Lord City Lord is really capable. He has poached our [Hidden Guards]. The target is our young master. Does he really think that he can't reach this small Yuxi City?"

[Hidden Guard]...?

I frowned, feeling like I had heard this word somewhere before.

Before I could try to recall, the woman in front of me had already spoken:

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Shuang, the Shuang of White Frost. I'm the messenger of the Hidden Guard among the three Lingwu Guards, and I'm also the direct person in charge of Xiluo. To be honest, I've joined the Hidden Guard since I was eight years old, and it's been fifteen years now, and I've never seen anyone dare to make a move on us. Should I say you're ignorant and fearless, or should I say you're... courting your own death?"

Oh, I remembered.

I remember He Yue once told me that in the current Yongtian Dynasty, the three most famous dark organizations for assassinations are Lord Huaiwang's Nocturne, Lord Zixuan's Luochen, and Lord Lingwu's Hidden Guard.

Let's not talk about the first two for now. Lingwu Territory is one of the top three in terms of comprehensive strength among the thirty-six territories of Yongtian. After all, it is a super territory that single-handedly resisted the giants in the north and prevented those behemoths from moving south. My father said that if her family had not divided too much power to maintain the northern defense line, it would be hard to say what the Yongtian royal family would be now. But my father didn't say much at the time. Although they were both lords, they obviously looked down on us Yunyang, and there was basically no contact between them.

This reminded me of when we were doing the training camp, Bai Huang also mentioned Lingwu Lord. He said she was the most beautiful lady in the previous Yunhai class, with a stunning appearance that was not like a human woman. Because of the existence of Lingwu Lord, He Yue could only be the second most beautiful person in the world. At that time, Bai Huang also said that such a high-ranking person would probably never have any intersection with us in this life.

This is also called no intersection, this little mouth has been blessed? It's still a white phoenix, from now on I'll just call her the white crow.
