At this moment, the atmosphere in Xunfang Pavilion's backyard was extremely tense. Four bound men were kneeling on the ground, and behind them, four men were holding blades at their necks. Any carelessness could result in bloodshed.
When Xie Qi and Zhan Ze walked into the backyard together, before Zhan Ze could ask his men what happened, Xie Qi suddenly shouted, "Why are you four here?"
Zhan Ze was a little surprised when he heard this. He turned to look at Xie Qi and asked, "Do you know them?"
Xie Qi nodded, looked at Zhan Ze and said, "Yes, they are my servants."
After saying that, he quickly walked up to Da Yi, squatted down, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you to go play? Why did you come here?"
Dayi looked at Xie Qi with a face full of grievance and explained, "Sir, we were worried about you, so we wanted to hide in the dark to protect you. Who would have thought that there were so many masters hiding here."
Da Er quickly chimed in, "Sir, they're very dangerous! These people are definitely not ordinary people!"
However, before the second-year student could finish his words, the waiter standing behind him suddenly shouted, "Shut up! You guys are sneaking around over my wall, and you dare to say we're dangerous?"
However, Zhan Ze reacted quickly. He raised his hand to signal the waiter to be quiet and gave a decisive order: "Untie them."
After hearing Zhan Ze's order, the waiter was a little reluctant but still did as he was told.
As the ropes were untied, the four men were finally free. While stretching their numb bodies, they ran to Xie Qi and looked at Zhan Ze and his men with vigilance.
Xie Qi pushed away the man standing in front of him and said, "Be quiet, we know each other."
At this moment, Zhan Ze also realized that this was a misunderstanding. And judging from the way these four people were dressed, they should be the secret guards around the emperor.
However, the strength of this secret guard is too weak. He can't even defeat his own men, so how can he protect the emperor?
Thinking of this, Zhan Ze couldn't help but shook his head helplessly. However, the other party was the emperor's secret guard after all, and now that he was beaten like this by his men, he couldn't help but express his gratitude.
So, he could only say to Xie Qi: "Brother Xie, I'm so sorry. They are my men, and I might have been a little too harsh just now."
Xie Qi seemed quite magnanimous. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. This little injury is nothing serious. Just apply some medicine and it will be fine."
As he spoke, Xie Qi deliberately glanced at the people opposite him. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he suggested, "Brother Mu, your men are so skilled in martial arts. Could you ask them to teach my servant some martial arts?"
Zhan Ze was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he looked at the people opposite who were beaten and injured, and realized that the people around the emperor were too weak. If he wanted to protect the emperor, this level of skill would not be enough.
So after discussion between the two masters, it was decided to let Xie Qi's four secret guards learn martial arts from Zhan Ze's four subordinates.
However, when they were introducing each other, Xie Qi couldn't help laughing: "Brother Mu, did you come up with the names Xiaoyi, Xiaoer, Xiaosan, and Xiaosi?"
Zhan Ze remained calm and replied, "Do you think the name you came up with is much better?"
Xie Qi was immediately dissatisfied when he heard this. He retorted, "Well, at least my name has the character 'Da' in it!"
Zhan Ze raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a half-smile: "What's the use of being big? In the end, he was still caught by us small ones."
Xie Qi was speechless when he heard this. He widened his eyes and looked at Dayi and the others helplessly. He said, "You guys, learn from the young master carefully. If you can't learn well, I won't bring you out to embarrass you in the future."
"Yes! Sir."
After Xie Qi finished speaking, he took Zhan Ze's hand without hesitation and walked out.
Zhan Ze looked confused and asked suspiciously, "Where are you taking me?"
Xie Qi kept walking, turned around and smiled at him, explaining: "It's still early, let's go out for a walk."
However, Zhan Ze had no interest at all. He struggled hard, pulled his arm out of Xie Qi's hand, and answered firmly: "I won't go."
Seeing this, Xie Qi stopped and stared at Zhan Ze with a helpless look on his face. He sighed and said, "Well, since you don't want to accompany me, then I'll go by myself. I seldom go out before and I don't know anything about the things in the capital. Since you don't want to accompany me, then I'll have to find a random guest in Xunfang Pavilion to keep me company. They should be familiar with this area and may be able to take me to some interesting places."
When Zhan Ze heard this, he frowned and thought to himself: The emperor really knows very little about the outside world. If he is really allowed to hang out with those questionable guests, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Besides, who among the guests who came to Xunfang Pavilion was a decent person? In order to prevent the emperor from being led astray, he absolutely could not let the emperor get too close to these people.
Thinking of this, Zhan Ze quickly looked up and saw Xie Qi walking further and further away without looking back. He quickly took a step to catch up with him: "Wait, I'll go out for a walk with you!"
Hearing this, Xie Qi was secretly proud in his heart, but a puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he deliberately asked: "Didn't you say you wouldn't go? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Zhan Ze: “I want to go now.”
So, Xie Qi and Zhan Ze walked out of Xunfang Pavilion together through the back door, while Xie Qi's secret guards were left in Xunfang Pavilion.
