Hard to be a shadow guard

Xuanying said: "Please stop talking."

While speaking, he tentatively pulled the corner of Xie Yi's submersible, thinking of pulling him back.

"Why can't you say it?" Xie Yiqian expressed his confusion.

At this time, Xuanying was really afraid that the master would say it regardless, but what the other party saw now was only the surface. He had stayed in Luochen Town for three years, and he had already seen through the Li family's face.

"Can you go to the back with me?" He begged, tilting his head slightly, presenting a pair of eyes full of anxiety in front of Xie Yiqian.

Xie Yiqian's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he couldn't utter the words of rejection for a long time.

Seeing that his expression didn't show too much resistance, Xuanying became bolder, grabbed Xie Yiqian's wrist with his backhand, and then took the initiative to walk back.

The brothers of the Li family didn't understand what conflict was happening on the other side. Seeing that the nobleman was about to leave, they hurriedly greeted him: "Hey, what are you doing here? Don't you want to listen? I can tell you anything you want to know!"

"Come back later! Don't follow!" Without waiting for Xie Yiqian to speak, Xuanying turned her head and shouted angrily.

The evil spirit that emerged from his face at that moment made Li Dazhuang speechless in fright. He was speechless for a long time, and could only watch the two people walking farther and farther away until they disappeared.

On the other side, Xuan Ying led Xie Yiqian all the way to the back of a huge rock.

The tall stones are full of vegetation, and the dense greenery blocks the sight of outsiders.

Xuanying's first reaction after entering was to shake off Xie Yiqian's wrist like a hot potato, and hurriedly took half a step back.

"I, I'm not...My lord, please listen to Caomin's explanation."

At this time, Xie Yiqian gradually realized that something was wrong.

He tried to keep smiling: "It's okay, talk slowly, what's the matter?"

Xuanying was silent for a long time, her tightly pressed lips turned pale.

Behind the boulder, Xuanying bent his knees, and half-kneeled down in the blink of an eye.

"The grassroots are guilty of deceiving the prince." Xuanying lowered his head and told him everything he knew.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about it. In fact, two years ago, Caomin found the Li family. They talked and tested... They are living a good life, have a wife and children, and don't need a useless younger brother. "Xuan Ying's voice was very low.

Xie Yi squatted subconsciously, tilting his head to see Xuanying's expression.

"You may have some misunderstanding, thinking that Caomin wants to find his family and integrate into them... But in fact, since childhood, Caomin has been the most unpopular one in the family."

Xuanying raised her head, looking back with a staring gaze.

"Otherwise, why do you think that Cao Min was the one who was sold out in a family that valued boys? Moreover, Cao Min knew two years ago that the Li family never felt that what they did was wrong, and even forgot that they were originally There is a child named Li Si'er."

"When they think of Li Si'er, they will only think that the sale is good, less drag, more copper coins, killing two birds with one stone, and they will not change their minds if they do it all over again."

Xuanying said: "Li Si'er's meaning to them is nothing more than a tool that can be exchanged for money. How can there be any family affection?"

Xie Yiqian's throat was dry for a while, his eyelids trembled slightly, and he finally asked: "So you don't want to have anything to do with this family at all?"

Xuanying lowered her head when she heard the words, and showed Xie Yiqian a fair neck: "My lord, forgive me."

Although it is not directly stated, the meaning of refusal is very obvious.

Xuanying hesitated for a moment, then added: "Don't get in touch with them, otherwise, depending on your temperament, you may end up being tricked into taking money by them."

"They see that you have something to ask, and they will definitely threaten you with this. In the end, they don't know how much money they have defrauded you...Although you must have a way, but in the face of rogues, what if you can't prevent it? ?”

Xuanying begged: "If something happens to you because of this, the grassroots will not be able to atone for their sins even if they die."

"It's the grassroots who are ungrateful and abandon their relatives. Anyway... If you don't contact, you don't contact. Don't come here. It's useless to say anything."

Perhaps Xie Yiqian's eyes were too hot, Xuanying was a little uncomfortable, he said in a murmur, "I don't have a family in the first place, and there is no need to forcibly create a group of fake family members."

It was an extremely plain sentence, but when Xie Yiqian heard it, his heart suddenly felt a dull pain.

He wanted to say: "The place where the king is is your home."

But after thinking about it, he couldn't find the position to say this.

Xie Yiqian smiled, pulled up Xuanying who had been half kneeling on the ground for a long time, and responded steadily: "It's up to you, ignore it."

From the beginning to the end, Xuanying didn't have any mood swings when mentioning the Li family.

Xie Yiqian couldn't tell whether he really didn't care or pretended to be too successful, but he followed Xuanying subconsciously: "It's because this king didn't discuss it with you, but since you don't want to contact the Li family, then forget it."

"My king won't be in contact with them anymore, don't worry."

"My lord, are you serious?" Xuanying asked in disbelief.

Xie Yiqian nodded: "There is absolutely no lie, and I will definitely not come in contact with this family behind your back in the future."

Xuanying's expression finally relaxed a little: "Thank you, my lord..."

Xie Yiqian smiled but said nothing.

The two had an agreement, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while.

Xuan Ying rubbed her fingers secretly, aiming up from the corner of her eye from time to time, looking a little restless.

Xie Yiqian didn't rush, just waited for Xuanying to speak proactively.

After a while, Xuanying finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, he asked very shyly: "My lord...why do you do so much for me?"

If this had been said before, Xuanying would not have the guts to ask it.

Fortunately, the time was different and there was an atmosphere. He gritted his teeth, raised his head instantly, mustered up the courage to stare into Xie Yiqian's eyes, and was about to come up with an answer.

Who would have thought that Xie Yiqian's answer didn't need to be thought about at all, his expression didn't change a bit: "Is there a lot? Did this king do anything for you?"

Xie Yiqian was very dissatisfied: "This is so good, it can't be regarded as doing things for you."

In an extremely flat tone, he said something that made Xuanying's heart beat instantly.

"It's just a little thing, there will be more in the future, you don't need to have any psychological burden, just treat it as compensation for the king who has ordered you for many years, and let you see... the king's sincerity."

Xuanying was completely stunned.

There was a moment of silence, when Xie Yiqian was caught off guard, suddenly asked: "Xuanying, are you serious, don't you care about the Li family at all?"

Xuanying was stunned, and a glint of unknown light flashed in his eyes.

After a while, he nodded, "Yes, I don't care."

Later, Xie Yiqian stopped asking, and thought for a while to propose a suggestion to go back, even though Li Dazhuang might still be waiting, it had nothing to do with them.

As for Xie Yiqian himself, only he knows what is going on in his heart...

It was night, Xie Yiqian watched Xuanying drink the healing soup, left some food for him, and then left.

Xuanying lay on the hard wooden bed for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. What he experienced that day echoed in his mind over and over again.

From the so-called "relatives" who don't want to get in touch, to the waste of the Lord's good intentions, to being comforted and relieved when he expressly rejects the Lord's good intentions...

Xuanying was confused for a while, what is the purpose of doing so much?

The Lord said that it is compensation and a sincere relationship.

But a man like him—

Xuan Ying sees herself clearly, and she never feels that she is worthy of those sincerity.

He has a despicable family, has unspeakable selfish desires, is selfish and shameless, and runs away when things happen.

In addition to what Li Dazhuang said, he can't speak, can't please others, and is self-righteous and stubborn.

He's never been likable.

With him like this, what should the Lord care about?

It wasn't that he was underestimating himself, but Xuan Ying felt that the current self was really useless, and there was nothing left or right that could make the Lord look at him differently.

And when he left Prince Rui's Mansion, his relationship with the Lord was so tense, how did he develop step by step to the current amiable look?

It wasn't that Xuanying didn't know what was going on, it was just that in the middle of the night, Xuanying figured out what had happened during this period of time, and there was a sense of unreality.

It was late at night, and Xuan Ying still didn't feel sleepy at all. He closed his eyes and meditated, doing calculations, only blaming himself for not finding the right reincarnation.

If he also had a noble background, he would dare to refuse or even refuse to meet the prince who came to him.

But in fact, over ten years of shadow guard career, some things have been engraved in his bones.

After all, when it comes to respect and inferiority, it has never been cut off. How can a slave refuse a master...

Just when Xuanying's thoughts were in confusion, Xie Yiqian, who had left early, did not return to Luochen Town, instead, he turned around and went to Luochen Village.

He recalled the road he walked during the day, and found the door of Li's house exactly.

"Dong dong dong—" there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" An old voice came out from the door, slightly trembling, a little out of breath.

"I'm looking for Li Dazhuang to discuss a business with him."

As Xie Yiqian said, his expression was firm, and he did not apologize for breaking the agreement with Xuanying.

......

What Xie Yiqian and Li Dazhuang talked about, only the two of them knew, and when Xie Yiqian left, Li Dazhuang was already blushing, and followed him doglegly: "You go slowly, go slowly!"

"Hey, be careful ahead, there is a stone, the villain will help you kick it away!"

That flattering face made his face even more unbearable.

Xie Yiqian had just reached an agreement with him, although he didn't like this gesture, he accepted it as a matter of course.

It's a pity that his gaze above the top did not fall on Li Dazhuang at all.

After Li Dazhuang sent Xie Yiqian away, he turned around and ran back home, yelling loudly as he ran: "Everyone come out, come out, come to work, that little bastard Li Si'er is back!"
