Hard to be a shadow guard

Chapter 96 Are You Still Going to Chapter [-]

Xuan Teng wanted to stay, but before Xuan Ying could say anything, Huang Mei chased him away: "Go, go, what are the adults talking about and children joining in the fun, hurry up and go to sleep!"

"I'm not a child anymore!" Xuan Teng was not very happy when he heard this, and retorted subconsciously.

Huang Mei didn't care about these things: "All right, all right, if it's not you, hurry up and go, don't delay our brother's drinking and chatting... children's families."

His perfunctory was obvious, and Xuan Teng was annoyed by the indifference between his words.

But at this time, Xuanying said: "Okay, you go to rest."

When the eldest brother spoke, Xuan Teng immediately lost the courage to persevere, so he nodded in dissatisfaction, and then gave Huang Mei a bitter look.

Xuan Teng reluctantly walked towards his room, and when he was about to enter, he couldn't help but look back.

When he saw the vigor mixed with the majesty and grandeur of that person, and then looked at his elder brother's shrinking and vicissitudes, he always felt a kind of disobedience.

How did two completely different people become "brothers"?

The eldest brother's luck is too good, to be called a brother by such a noble person...

Xuan Teng knew that there was nowhere to answer his questions, so he had no choice but to walk back regretfully, thinking along the way, when would he be as lucky as his elder brother.

In the end, Huang Mei and Xuan Ying did not stay in the room, but went to the open space outside the courtyard with the wine jar and the roast chicken.

The two sat on the ground, and silently sipped the clear wine, causing Huang Mei to exclaim: "Ah, good wine!"

"It's been a few years since I've had a drink. With your light, let me be unrestrained for a while, and the Lord will push you to the top when I'm accountable." Huang Mei chuckled.

Xuanying kept rubbing the edge of the wine jar with his fingers, but he didn't answer the words. Only when he was really alone face to face, did he realize that there was still embarrassment.

How can I say that Huang Mei looked at his most unbearable appearance at the beginning, and now when we meet again, those unbearable punishment postures of the past also surfaced in front of his eyes.

Maybe Huang Mei also has this embarrassment, but he hides it too well.

"Xuanying!" A hand landed on Xuanying's shoulder with a slap, and he trembled immediately, and his body tensed up quickly. If Xuanying's control was not good, he might have slapped him long ago.

"Take it away." He said in a hoarse voice, frowning together.

This means that the time has changed. If he was still in the palace before, not to mention him, even a random shadow guard would inevitably get violent if someone slapped him on the shoulder.

Huang Mei is in the position of shadow guard, so it is impossible not to know this taboo.

"Hey hey." Huang Mei secretly pulled her hand back and said, "Try it."

Xuanying lowered her head and took a sip of her saliva, then raised her head and cast a cold glance at Huang Mei, but the other party smiled: "I was scared to death, I thought you wouldn't talk to me anymore!"

As for Xuanying's cold and lonely look just now, and the vicissitudes of life in which she is content with worldly affairs and not being moved by external things, no matter how big Huang Mei's heart is, she is still a little sad.

After all, they haven't seen each other for a long time, and they used to entrust life and death, but now when they meet again, they seem to be strangers...

Now that Xuan Ying finally had a different expression on his face, Huang Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

He swiftly tore open the greased paper that wrapped the roasted chicken, carelessly tore off two chicken legs, kept one for himself, and gave the other to Xuanying without explanation.

Xuan Ying looked up at the smiling face of the other party, but in the blink of an eye she put the chicken leg to her mouth, licked it almost cautiously, and then bit down.

Huang Mei had a panoramic view of his little movements, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional: "You said—"

"I've been away for many years, and I haven't seen you live so gracefully. It's okay to be hurt all over your body, and you have two burdens, that is, a piece of meat... How long has it been since you have eaten well?"

Xuanying ignored him, dropped the chicken bone in his hand, and without thinking, he rushed forward and grabbed the untouched chicken leg from Huang Mei's hand.

Xuanying didn't want to tell him at all, except that the family would buy a small piece of meat back during the New Year and holidays, and it would be good to eat some at other times, not to mention that none of the three in the family knew how to cook.

"Ha!" Huang Mei laughed, but she didn't intend to snatch it back, "Look at your talent!"

Here Xuanying has already taken the greased paper, as if he was going to eat alone, he protected the whole chicken steadily, and the aroma of chicken is full of the nostrils.

Seeing this, Huang Mei didn't say anything, just took a couple of sips of wine once in a while, and the rest of the time she would just gossip, and the topic inevitably reached the point that the two of them were least willing to bring up.

"It's good to stay in the palace. Although the master suppresses you, at least you don't have to work hard if you have money and food. How many people want to be shadow guards for big shots are not qualified, but we are already the top shadow guards." ..."

"It's not like you, it ran out, it's beautiful! But you can't even eat meat, how pitiful!" Huang Mei said.

He watched Xuanying almost devour the whole chicken, and continued to speak after a long silence: "In the past few years... In the past few years, I have followed the master to look for you everywhere. I regret it."

"Speaking of a rebellious thing, the master tossed you like that a few years ago, and now it's your own fault, but there are also times when I look at the lonely back of the master, and feel pitiful for the master."

Huang Mei raised the wine jar and took a sip: "Perhaps you are the more pitiful, but the lord has also abandoned his power and personally looked for you for so long, no matter how much hatred... probably can be eliminated, right?"

"It's not that you must get back together with the Lord, but Xuanying, you see that you are living so badly now, if you don't tell me that we will help you when you return to the palace, the Lord will definitely change the past and treat you well." Yes, why not better than now?"

Xuan Ying didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and the way he concentrated on eating the roast chicken made Huang Mei wonder whether he was listening or not.

"In this way, you can tell me exactly what to say!" Huang Mei leaned over to Xuan Ying, "The Lord doesn't know that I'm coming tonight, so you just tell me, so that I can have a clear idea—"

"Xuanying, are you still planning to come back?"

In the silent night, only the sound of oil paper being folded, Huang Mei stared carefully at the person opposite, lest she miss a little movement of the other party.

But after Xuan Ying picked up the wine jar and took a few sips, he asked, "Are you finished? Do you want to catch up on the old days? I have work to do tomorrow. If there is nothing else, I will go to rest."

"You..." Huang Mei almost vomited blood, but facing Xuan Ying's indifferent gaze, he was unable to speak a word.

He cursed: "You bastard!" But he didn't press the question any further.

Huang Mei stood up vigorously on her legs, knocked off the dust on her clothes, and said cursingly: "Sleep sleep sleep, sleep you to death! Heartless bastard, I bought wine and chicken to see you for nothing... ..”

While talking, he was so angry that he lifted his foot and kicked Xuanying's leg, but it was useless, then he turned around and wanted to go back the same way.

Only after Huang Mei had just walked two steps——

"Hey!" Xuan Ying suddenly called him to stop him who was strolling forward, and when the other party stopped and turned back, he tilted his head and asked, "Will you bring the roast chicken tomorrow?"

Huang Mei was startled, and after a long time of reaction, she grinned: "Send!"

After getting an affirmative answer, Xuanying savored the lingering fragrance in his mouth, with a sincere smile on his face.

Even if Huang Mei knew that this smile was probably for tomorrow's roast chicken, she was still happy. After all, the chicken was given by him, rounding it up——

Isn't it just to welcome him to be a guest again!

Huang Mei happily responded, waved her hands and finally left.

The night is long, dark and gloomy like a thick inkstone, so deep that it cannot be melted away...

Xie Yi has settled down in the town.

As early as when she saw Xuan Ying, Huang Mei knew that there would be such a day.

After having a "late-night heart-to-heart talk" with Xuanying yesterday, he touched the moonlight and knocked on the door of a family in the town, negotiating terms and buying that house for this day.

Especially that house is just outside Luochen Town, the environment is quiet, and it is not far from Xuanying's hut, so it should meet the Lord's wishes.

Early in the morning, Xie Yiqian sat in a corner of the tavern lobby, tapped his fingers slightly on the table, and after a long thought, called Huang Mei and asked, "You said that if I lived here for three to five years, would Tianren and the others come to find me?"

"My lord, don't worry, my subordinates dare not interfere with my lord's whereabouts."

"Oh." Xie Yiqian asked again, "Tell me again... If I build a house next to Xuanying, will he allow it?"

"My lord, don't worry, no one will refuse to do whatever you want."

"Oh." Xie Yiqian continued to ask, "Go ahead and talk about...what should I do to make Xuanying accept me, not to mention anything else, at least let me sleep on his bed."

"My lord, forgive me. This subordinate is still young and has never been married. I don't know how to please my relatives."

Hearing Huang Mei's answer finally changed, Xie Yiqian glanced sideways at him: "Oh, what's the use of you!"

"This subordinate is guilty." Even so, Xie Yiqian couldn't see the panic expression on Huang Mei's face no matter what he looked at, and he felt bored for a while.

"Forget it, forget it, they are all a bunch of waste, and I still have to come by myself at the critical moment." He said, "Since you are useless, then stop wandering around in front of my eyes, and find a house when you have time, and then check Chaxuan The situation of the family.”

"Yes." Huang Mei replied, "The house you want has been prepared. Yingyi knows the location, please follow him to have a look. This subordinate will leave now, and find out the news of Xuanying's relatives for you."

After speaking, he smiled slightly, but there was something else in that smile.

He has to talk to his brothers, and he has to deal with the unreasonable master. Occasionally, he has to show off that he is single and doesn't like it. It's too difficult for him as a shadow guard.

Huang Mei walked out with a cold face, and when his figure disappeared from Xie Yiqian's eyes, Xie Yiqian realized later——

"Huang Mei just now...was just being perfunctory to me?" He squinted his eyes and asked Ying Yi, "Did I indulge you too much?"
