Hard to be a shadow guard

Chapter 45

"I don't want to conflict with you heroes, so I must abide by your request." Xuanying replied unhurriedly.

He moved his fingers slightly, met the obviously different eyes of the leader on the opposite side, and pulled the rein neatly, as if he was about to go back the same way.

When Xuanying turned half of his body, the two people behind him looked at each other, but suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air.

I saw Xuanying using his strength to soar into the air, stepping on the horse's back with one foot and sprinting back.

His actions were too unexpected, even though the people who came to block the way had been guarding against him, they were finally taken advantage of by Xuan Ying.

"Enemy attack! Be on guard!" Xuanying snorted softly, only to see that the surrounding crowd touched their waists in unison.

Such a subconscious action made Xuanying's heart sink.

The most common way in the Shadow Pavilion of King Rui's Mansion......

It's just that Xuanying's movements never slowed down, as soon as he dodged, there was only an afterimage left in everyone's eyes, and when he fixed his eyes again, he was already standing behind the person who started the call.

The cold dagger was attached to the back of Ying Thirty's neck, and the tip of the knife was tightly pressed against the arteries, every twitch seemed to be dancing on the tip of the knife.

But these are not the things that shocked Ying Thirty the most, only because at this moment, Xuan Ying's other hand stretched out to his chest impressively, and what it touched......

Xuanying laughed lightly, and directly grabbed out what he touched. On the token tied to the end of the red rope, the big "Rui" character shook so that people's eyes hurt.

Xuanying closed her eyes fiercely and opened them again, forcibly suppressing the inexplicable sourness in her eyes.

At this point, there is no point in playing any more tricks.

Dozens of people around stopped their steps together, got off their horses and looked at the movement on Xuanying's side, hesitating whether they needed to be greeted or not.

"My lord..." Ying Thirty was full of apprehension, and couldn't figure out what Xuanying behind him wanted to do for a while.

Especially the short blade on the back of the neck has not been moved away, in case the adults are mixed with grief and indignation...

Just thinking about it, Ying Thirty's face turned pale.

But at the next moment, Xuan Ying jumped down from behind him, threw the token casually, and waited for Ying Thirty to catch it in a hurry.Xuanying also happened to turn around and asked casually: "The lord wants you to come?"

In fact, since seeing the token, there is no point in asking this sentence, but Xuan Ying still couldn't help listening and asking, even with a ridiculous thought.

What if it is not?

But things didn't turn out as he wished.

Ying Thirty cupped his hands: "This subordinate has seen Your Excellency, and according to the Lord's order, I will send you a souvenir."

Xuanying's body, which was moving slowly, suddenly became faster the moment he heard the "souvenir".

He suddenly turned to Shang Ying Thirty: "What? Give it to me!"

Facing the hand letter from Ying Thirty, Xuan Ying almost rushed to take it, and frantically unwrapped the letter, but suddenly stopped at the moment when he lowered his head to look.

His head was lowered, making it difficult to see his expression.

"Apart from the hand letter...does the Lord have anything else to say?" Xuan Ying crumpled the corner of the letter paper that was held in the palm of his hand, "Is it the Lord's idea to pretend to be a Bandit to intercept people? "

When it comes to playing bandit, Ying Thirty is inevitably embarrassed.

He moved his fingers, but finally answered truthfully: "It's the idea of ​​the subordinates. The master only asked the subordinates to stop the lord, and didn't say what method to use."

"The Lord has an order to stop you in Fengluo City regardless of the cost, and only when there is nothing else to do, I will give you a hand letter."

In other words, if Ying Thirty and the others hadn't pretended not to be intercepted and failed, Xuanying wouldn't even have seen the souvenir at all.

Thinking about it carefully, this kind of behavior is no different from the Lord's usual style.

In the process of Ying Thirty's slow statement, Xuanying's heart calmed down a little bit.

"So... I understand." He was surprisingly calm, and many shadow guards beside him couldn't believe it.

What Ying Thirty didn't say was that before Xie Yiqian sent them out, there was one extra thing to say——

"When it's necessary, it's fine to leave only Xuanying alive, but it will definitely leave him in Fengluo City, and he must never get close to Wangjing."

With such an explanation beforehand, Ying Thirty and the others thought that when Xuan Ying was stopped, she would go crazy and then they would have to disable a few people to stop.

Who knew nothing would happen now!

He didn't fight, he didn't fight, he didn't speak loudly.

Xuanying nodded to express his understanding, and since people from the palace had come to intercept him, there was no need for Xuanying to hurry back.

He was anxious to read the contents of the souvenir, but he was unwilling to show a gaffe in front of his subordinates. After thinking about it for a while, Xuanying chose to leave.

He was about to turn around and lead the horse to leave, but in the middle of the walk, he suddenly remembered that there were people behind him.

He turned his head to look again: "Is there anything else?"

"No..." Ying Thirty replied.

"Then let's go. I won't leave Fengluo City again. I won't go out without the Lord's order. You can leave at ease."

While talking, Xuanying waved his hands at everyone, his appearance was always relaxed, but the face that had just turned away became expressionless the next moment.

Ying Thirty and the others looked at the direction Xuan Ying left, even if it was the direction to return to Feng Luo City, they still didn't dare to chase after it.

I had no choice but to watch Xuanying go further and further away until I could no longer see my back.

Ying Thirty thought for a while, then waved his hand to attract his colleagues: "Go back to the palace and report to the Lord, remember... don't mention the stupid thing of pretending to be a bandit!"

Obviously he was the one who proposed the idea at the beginning, but now he is the one who is ashamed to mention it...

On the other side, Xuanying, who had left, did not return to Fengluo City immediately, but instead found a big tree along the way, sat under the tree and took a deep breath before checking the souvenir he had just opened.

"My king is unmarried, so I will stay at Feng Luo with peace of mind, and I will give you ten thousand gold as a reward."

"However, if there is no order to return to the capital, everyone will violate the order and rebel against the lord, and will not be pardoned."

Looking at the familiar handwriting on the hand letter, Xuanying was silent for a long time, only feeling an unspeakable absurdity.

And thinking back to myself who was anxious to read the souvenir just now, it was more like a ridiculous joke, unexpectedly ridiculous.

unmarried?

How could it be unmarried...

Why did he find so many people to restrain him when he was unmarried, and why did he provoke Huang Mei to speak out in a hurry?

Marriage has nothing to do with him!

No matter what happened before, Xuanying really never thought that his existence could affect the lord to marry a wife and have children to inherit the blood of the palace.

Even more, he never thought that the person who accompanied the Lord for a lifetime could have any relationship with him.

In the final analysis, he is just a slave, dare to ask the Lord about housework?

However, the souvenir letter sent by Xie Yiqian still had such rhetoric, even if he bluntly said that the marriage was coming soon, it was better than this "unmarried".

Xuanying lowered her head and thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, even after hearing the leak from the two shadow guards.

Why did the Lord keep hiding it from him? Is it necessary?

He had planned it since the first time he got off the couch from the Lord. One day, when he heard the Lord say "big marriage", he would voluntarily retreat back and only be a shadow guard. The princess added to the block.

Which family's rich children don't have a few gadgets to keep in the yard, as long as they get married, it's enough to take care of them, let alone such obedient objects as Xuan Ying, who come and go as soon as they are waved.

Xuanying has never seen any mistress care about such a common thing in court.

Even if the future princess really cares, is he, the only plaything, alive or dead or just listening to the Lord's words?

So what is the reason for the master to arrange so many things?

Xuanying couldn't figure it out, and she would never think that these things were just because of Xie Yiqian's momentary guilty conscience.

Anyway, at the moment when he saw Wangjing's souvenir, Xuan Ying felt as if he was suffocating...

The Shadow Man has always been the master's most handy weapon, but it has always been the most trusted tool of the master. If this tool cannot even be trusted by the master, even the master will have something to hide.

Xuanying couldn't think of any reason for him to stay.

The person sitting under the ancient tree was silent for a long time and suddenly raised his head and let out a long sigh. A bitter smile emerged from the corner of his mouth, which could not disappear for a long time.

Just as the Lord wishes, stay in Fengluo City honestly, and you can still get ten thousand taels of gold!

Anyway, if there is no accident, he will not be able to go back to the capital of Wangjing for a while!

Xuanying took pleasure in the bitterness, tapped his fingers on his knees, and quietly adjusted his mentality.

Anyway, according to Xuan Ying's calculations, there is still half a month before Xie Yiqian's next love attack, so there is no rush, no rush...

On the other side, Yigan Yingwei, who was sent by Huang Mei to look for someone, saw a familiar figure appearing in front of him from a distance before he had time to leave the city gate.

Xuan Ying seemed to be leading the horse very leisurely, holding a handful of hay in his hand, passing it to the horse's mouth from time to time, without any trace of the previous sadness on his face.

Seeing the person walking towards them leisurely, Ying Yi turned his head to look at the others, thinking for a moment that he was wrong.

Until Xuanying walked in front of them all the way: "What's the matter?"

"No..." With a very similar answer, Xuan Ying didn't sound surprised.

He nodded to express his understanding: "Then go back."

After speaking, he took the lead in action, not caring about the gazes of others, and led his horse past Yingyi and the others.

So when Huang Mei was upset and wanted to go out, but he opened the door on the first day of the new year, and ran into Xuan Ying who had returned.

Before Huang Mei could get angry, Xuan Ying responded first.

He smiled brightly and said softly: "I'm back, I won't run around anymore."

Facing Xuanying's bright smile, Huang Mei's heart skipped a beat, suddenly feeling a sense of loss that something had changed.

But Xuanying didn't give him the time to be sad.

Xuan Ying stretched out her hand to push Huang Mei away: "Excuse me, I'm sleepy, let me sleep for a while."

After saying this, Xuanying walked directly into the inn room, turned over on the bed with her clothes in front of Huang Mei, and skillfully pulled the quilt over her head to cover her head.

He seemed to have a premonition, and said at the same time Huang Mei spoke: "Don't ask me, I don't know anything, I just want to sleep."

The voice coming through the quilt was a bit distorted, even after Huang Mei carefully identified it for a long time, she still couldn't distinguish the attitude in Xuan Ying's words.
