Hard to be a shadow guard

Xuanying didn't dare to answer, but following his silence, Xie Yiqian stopped talking, as if vowing to get an answer.

After a while, Xuanying couldn't bear the pressure, so he could only reply dryly: "Yes, this subordinate is convicted..."

"It's right to be convicted!" Before Xuanying finished speaking, Xie Yiqian immediately followed up, and Xuanying's heart felt cold when he spoke.

Xie Yiqian walked back slowly, condescendingly looking down at the person crouching under his feet.

He tapped the ground with his toes, and as he said "head up", he stretched out his right foot at the same time.

"Master!" Xuanying raised his head just now, and kicked him in the chest head-on. It didn't necessarily hurt, but the humiliation was enough, especially after he followed up subconsciously.

Xie Yiqian didn't need to waste his strength at all, he could easily trample Xuanying under his feet.

And Xuanying had already been pressed to the ground, with his legs still buried behind his back. Although his upper body was fine, his lower body was still somewhat torn due to folding.

Xie Yiqian didn't care about this, he moved his toes and turned around Xuanying's chest.

Looking at the person under his feet who could not resist or struggle, even if he was humiliated and cruelly treated, Xie Yiqian felt a faint pleasure in his heart.

Just yesterday, he visited Prime Minister Zuo, but the old man turned him away saying he was sick.

And just the day before yesterday, when he visited the emperor after he came down to court, he was angrily reprimanded by the emperor for being inconsiderate.

Even Lin Feng, the king of Liang, could pass by the gate of Prince Rui's mansion wantonly, lift the curtain of the car and give him a mocking smile.

The humbleness in front of others all turned into condescension in front of Xuan Ying.

The actions of cowards and weaklings are now being used by Xie Yiqian with ease.

And all of this happened after the Lingnan forces lost their battle.

If it weren't for the fact that the family's blood feud had not been reported, and Lingnan was waiting for a good time to turn around, why did Xie Yiqian pretend that his grandson endured it until now?

To this day, I have no control over my own marriage. In order to win over the leftist minister and confuse people, I asked for my will to marry Ji's daughter...

As Xie Yiqian thought about it, the irritability in his heart became more and more obvious.

He looked at Xuanying again, even though the other person's eyes were full of surprise and a little bit of fear, Xie Yiqian still couldn't hold back his harsh words: "Is this how you see me?"

"Xuanying, could it be that this king has treated you too well, last time the garden caused trouble for this king and spared you, and now he even dares to ask this king!"

"The Shadow Pavilion taught this kind of stuff? Where did all your obedience go?"

The words that Tianren once reprimanded Ying Shisan were now returned intact by Xie Yiqian.

Xuanying didn't know whether to say "Heaven is good for reincarnation" or to think about where he has offended the Lord.

No matter how much he said and how wrong he was, Xuan Ying didn't dare to move, and just let the feet on his chest exert a little bit of force.

And he frowned and said in a low voice: "This subordinate is guilty, please punish the Lord."

Xie Yiqian smiled: "Punishment? Is this king punishing you less? How come you... can't always learn to be more obedient? Wouldn't it be better to be obedient?"

He seemed very dissatisfied, even if Xuan Ying wanted to defend, Xie Yiqian was not in the mood to listen: "Is it? You are disobedient and ignorant, what is the use of my king keeping you?" "My lord, my subordinates dare not ..." As Zhu Xin's words came out of Xie Yiqian's mouth bit by bit, Xuanying's complexion turned pale.

Xie Yiqian especially thought it wasn't enough: "Oh no, this king made a mistake, why are you so useless!"

"Obviously... it's good to warm the king's bed!"

After finishing speaking, Xie Yiqian withdrew his right foot and only waited for him to move away. Xuanying immediately straightened up like a carp, rolled over two steps away from Xie Yiqian impartially, and knelt down on the ground again.

"This subordinate knows his crime, please be punished by the Lord!" Xuan Ying didn't know what else he could say, and opened his mouth to ask for punishment.

When Xie Yiqian came, he would find someone to screen away the shadow guards around him, so he didn't need to worry about doing anything in the room at this time.

He only heard a chuckle from him: "I can't punish you. After punishing you, wouldn't Huang Mei go to this king to intercede again?"

"Looking at him blushing his forehead, I have a kind heart, but I don't want to see such a bloody scene."

"Do you think so?" Xie Yiqian lowered his head and asked, seeing that Xuanying's hair was not enough, he touched Xuanying's forehead with his toes, "Raise your head and answer me."

Xuanying understood what this meant so well, he closed his eyes fiercely, sucked back a tear that overflowed from the corner of his eyes, raised his head obediently, looked directly into Xie Yiqian's eyes and said: "Yes, what the Lord said is true, everything is true." It's the subordinate's fault."

In other words, from the moment Xuanying planned to plot against Huang Mei, he knew that even if he could ask the Lord, Huang Mei would probably not be able to please him.

It's just that the forehead is red and swollen, isn't it the lightest!

Xie Yiqian continued to ask: "Then what do you think we should do? Huang Mei suffered such a big injury for you, this king should make up for him, otherwise this king will be harsh to others again."

"But it's up to the Lord to decide." Xuan Ying replied quickly, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Xie Yiqian chuckled again, but he didn't know what to think of, turned around and walked towards the bed, and at the same time, he didn't forget to call Xuanying: "Follow up!"

Hearing the order, Xuanying didn't dare to get up and had to walk over on her knees, crawling until she was at Xie Yiqian's feet before stopping.

Xie Yiqian then continued to ask: "By the way, why do you keep begging to see me?"

He clearly knew what Xuan Ying wanted, but he still insisted on asking.

And after seeing such a mysterious shadow of the master all night, how dare he ask why.

As Xie Yiqian said, what about his obedience?

Xuanying bowed to Xie Yiqian before opening his mouth: "My lord forgives my sins, but my subordinates dared to disturb my lord's purity, and my subordinates will die forever."

"Damn it, I don't even think about who you are, and I beg to see this king again and again, are you worthy?"

Xie Yiqian had gone too far, as one of the four shadow guards, Xuan Ying didn't need to report to see him, but now he said that he didn't even have the qualifications.

To put it bluntly, he was just relying on Xuanying not to refute, so he opened his mouth to speak nonsense.

"Yes, my subordinate...Damn it." With each sentence, the knives were stabbed into Xuanying's heart one after another.

The so-called killing without blood is nothing more than that.

He couldn't figure out what caused the master's temperament to change drastically, but the consistent concept made Xuanying think subconsciously——

He has committed such an unacceptable crime that the Lord is about to... hate him to the bone.

Xie Yiqian moved the trigger on his finger, and focused his gaze on Xuanying again.

The faint candlelight on the table hit Xuan Ying's body, and Xie Yiqian finally saw clearly that the candle was shaking violently constantly.

No, it was Xuanying who was shaking.

He gave up listening intently for a while, and finally heard a different voice except for the wind outside the window.

Xuan Ying seemed to be enduring something.

Xie Yiqian seemed to have discovered something novel, he bent over and lifted Xuanying's chin with his fingertips, fully exposing his face in front of his eyes.

It wasn't until this moment that Xie Yiqian suddenly realized—ah, it turned out that he was crying.

Different from Bai Ri's pretentious and scheming in the face of Huang Mei, when Xuan Ying really wanted to cry, she quietly cried out.

Xie Yiqian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't even say another word for a long time.

Seeing Xuan Ying crying silently like this, he couldn't help but recall the scene he saw not long ago, that boy who was wrapped in a quilt and huddled into a ball, crying like a little beast.

Since Huang Mei came to him to intercede today, Xie Yiqian thought too much, he couldn't help but think that if there was no love poison to cause trouble, then he and Xuan Ying would definitely not be able to get to this point now.

A master is not like a master, and a slave is not like a slave.

I want to go back to the past, but I can't find a way out.

Even if he had thought about being sincere to Xuanying before, so what if Lingnan lost the battle, so what other choice did he have in order to avenge his parents' blood?

It would be fine if only Xuanying was alone, at worst, he would be an unworthy descendant and cut off the Xie family's bloodline.

But since he intends to marry Ji's daughter, how could he be entangled with Xuanying again!

After thinking about it in every possible way, Xie Yiqian had no choice but to decide that instead of giving Xuanying too many unnecessary hopes, it would be better to cut off his thoughts directly.

Tianren and the others are soft-hearted and sympathetic, but if he doesn't, he won't!

Xie Yiqian thought, if others don't do it, he does it himself. Doesn't he do a lot of things like cutting off life expectancy?

But when he clearly made a decision, when he saw Xuanying's tears again, deep in his heart, he started to twitch uncontrollably.

After a long period of silence, Xuanying suddenly woke up, he shook his head, recovered his senses and came back quickly.

This also awakened Xie Yiqian, his fingertips turned into claws, pinched Xuanying's chin, and forced him to raise his head high: "I can't take it anymore?" He looked at the tears that silently slid down Xuanying's face , I became irritable for no reason: "This king can't stand it after just saying a few words to you? Or this king can't say anything about you!"

"Subordinates dare not..." Xuanying retorted, but with a strong nasal voice.

He didn't want to cry and cry in front of the Lord, so ugly that it made people sick, but when those words overwhelmed him, he couldn't bear it after all.

Maybe if I hadn't received the warmth from the past, I wouldn't have the pain now.

Hearing this, Xie Yiqian became even more irritable. He wanted to continue to say something chilling, but facing such a wet face, he was speechless.

After a pause, Xie Yiqian had no choice but to throw Xuanying away bitterly, and the strength made Xuanying lie back on the ground.

Xie Yiqian took a deep breath: "If this is unbearable, I really have to wonder what the Shadow Pavilion is doing and what it has taught? Poor bastard who can only cry?"

"This king knows what you want to do, but this king just won't let you out, dissatisfied? Not reconciled?"

He laughed ghastly twice: "If you're not satisfied, go out, defeat the shadow guards outside and escape, you're just a traitor, if you do, you can get out!"

He dropped the last ruthless words, stood up with a flick of his sleeves, raised his feet to kick away Xuan Ying who was blocking his eyes, and strode towards the door.

But no one can see the embarrassment brought out by his back.

The night wind was cold, and Xie Yiqian, who had stayed in the Xuanying room for less than half an hour, slammed the door, leaving only Xuanying in the room with tears on his face, unable to recover for a long while.

It was such a meeting with the Lord, which was completely different from what he thought.

Xuanying lay prone on the ground, his eyes were blurred, and the dripping water droplets were printed and dyed on the ground.

For the first time, he felt how the ground could be so cold in early autumn, it was bone-chilling...
