Chapter 376 Confidentiality
In the backyard of Prince Ying's mansion, various kinds of flowers are planted on the inner circle of the wall.
In this month when the cold winter is approaching, Yangzhou still has a feeling of spring flowers blooming.
The flower garden is still as beautiful as before, and the various flowers have not withered with the passage of time. Among the beautiful flowers, a large pond has been built.
The flower bed opposite the gate of the courtyard was deliberately trimmed, surrounded by railings and paved with gravel roads, extending all the way to the pond.
On the bluestone brick pavement on both sides of the pond, two rows of supporting wood that should not belong to this position were driven into the mud at the bottom of the pond. The two rows of supporting wood exposed above the water served as footholds to connect the edge of the pond with a small house built in the center of the pond.
As it was getting dark, a servant brought two plates of vegetables, a dish of fish and a small jar of wine, placed them on a table at the edge of the pond, and also placed two pairs of chopsticks on top.
After he left, the door of the wooden house in the middle of the pond was opened and a fat figure walked out.
It turned out to be Yuan Qi, who had been teased by Li Cunxi to the point of mental breakdown.
He had a blank expression on his face, his feet on the crossbar, and with just one leap he was already next to the stage.
Not wanting to communicate with anyone, he finished his meal in half an incense stick of time, then returned to his room, closed the door, and sat cross-legged on the yellowed sheets with no expression on his face.
The servant waited until half an hour later, when it was already dark, before coming over to pack up the things and sending them back to the front for others to clean up.
Madam Ying met Long Feng who had just returned from the meeting in the main hall and said:
"Deputy Sect Leader, you have worked hard during this period. I have seen all your hardships. When Yuan Qi comes out, I will let him reward you well."
Long Feng was a little tired. He glanced at Madam Ying, cupped his hands, and said seriously:
"Why does Madam Sect Leader have to do this?"
"I, Long Feng, have received great favors from the Sect Master. The Sect Master values me so much that I am appointed to take charge of the Iron Hand Group. Even if I have to climb mountains of swords and walk through seas of fire, it will be difficult for me to repay the Sect Master's kindness."
Having been the acting leader of the Iron Hand Group for such a long time, Long Feng knew exactly how to say nice things.
This display of loyalty really moved Lady Ying, who had looked down on Long Feng in the past.
At this moment, Lady Ying Wang suddenly realized that it might not be a bad thing for her husband to hand over everything to Long Feng.
With such a loyal and powerful subordinate, it was natural for Yuan Qi to win him over and even follow Liu Bei's example of entrusting his son to Zhuge Liang.
After speaking a few more private words to Long Feng and painting a few big cakes for Long Feng on behalf of Yuan Qi, Lady Ying escorted Long Feng out of the main hall.
As soon as Long Feng left, the servant who brought food to Yuan Qi came in and knelt down and kowtowed to Lady Ying.
"Has he eaten?" Lady Ying turned around and glanced at the extremely timid servant.
"Madam, His Highness has already eaten. I just sent the dishes to the kitchen and will come to report to you right away." The servant said tremblingly.
"Alas, you are born timid. You were like this when you came here from home with me, and you are like this again now."
"lady……"
"Long Feng is in control of the situation now, and Yuan Qi is acting like a madman. I don't know what to do next."
"His Royal Highness Prince Ying is getting better. Maybe he can come back and take charge in a few days."
"You are not in this line of work, so you don't know the secrets. I won't say anything. Yuan Qi will not be able to recover for three or two years after his retreat. I am afraid that Long Feng will inevitably encounter changes after three or two years in charge of the Iron Hand Group."
……
After walking out of the main hall, Long Feng took a walk around, but found that although he had lived in Prince Ying's Mansion for a long time, he had never taken a good look at it.
With a sudden thought, Long Feng decided to walk around Prince Ying's Mansion and visit Yuan Qi among the flowers.
The sky gradually darkened. After wandering around for a while, Long Feng finally arrived at the backyard and found the legendary secret garden of Prince Ying's Mansion.
It was almost the same here as the last time he came here. He stepped onto the gravel road and walked about ten steps to the end. In front of him was a pond and a bluestone brick floor. If he walked five or six more steps forward, he would have one foot in the water.
Long Feng looked carefully in the moonlight and saw that the door of the hut in the middle of the pond was not completely closed.
"Master, Long Feng is here to pay his respects."
Yuan Qi, who was in the small house in the middle of the pond, suddenly opened his eyes.
He had not shown any expression for a long time, but when he heard that it was Long Feng coming, he immediately smiled, opened the window, and waved to Long Feng outside.
"Come over here on the wood on the lake."
Long Feng used his Qinggong skills, stepped on the wood on the lake with his toes, and in three or two steps he reached the wooden board outside the cabin.
Because the wooden board was about one foot higher than the pond, when the craftsmen built the hut, they specially built several steps on the side of the board close to the wood to make it easier for others to go up.
After successfully entering the cabin, Long Feng turned around to close the door and saluted towards Yuan Qi.
"Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look better and better. I believe you will be able to return to the Iron Hand Group soon and lead our brothers to make a comeback."
"It's just... a slight recovery."
After hearing Long Feng's words, Yuan Qi was happy, but he also told the truth from his heart.
"My heart is broken now. I am not as good as I used to be. If I can't recuperate for a long time, I am afraid I will not be able to lead my brothers to make a comeback."
Long Feng pretended to be anxious and said quickly:
"Why do you think so lowly of yourself, Sect Master? We were only defeated once before, and most of our brothers are still here, and we haven't given up hope!"
Yuan Qi sighed softly.
He, a man devoted to rebuilding the prestige of the Iron Hand, no longer knew where the road ahead lay.
But Long Feng, who was recruited by him and had contradicted him several times before, still maintained great enthusiasm and full trust in him and the Iron Hand Group.
Perhaps, this is what the legend says...the truth hurts.
Thinking about the reasons why Long Feng contradicted me in the past, it seemed that it was all for the good of the Iron Hand Group.
"Long Feng, listen to me. I know you are loyal to me and dedicated to your duties to the Iron Hands."
"But in my current condition, I really can't come out and lead the Iron Hand Group to carry out the next series of tasks."
"so……"
Yuan Qi took a deep breath, walked forward very seriously, and held Long Feng's strong and hard hands tightly.
"I will entrust the future Iron Hand Group to you. I will not come out again until I can lead the Iron Hand Group."
"I firmly believe that with your ability, Long Feng, you can definitely lead our Iron Hand Group well, and make our Iron Hand Group even better than before!"
"But you still need to remember one thing. You must be careful of my cousin Yuan Chu. Like me, he also has the qualifications to inherit the Iron Hand Group. If he knew what I have become now, he would definitely come out to snatch the Iron Hand Group."
"You must be careful, careful, and careful. If you really can't do anything, just call me out and I will take care of everything."
