Hard to be a shadow guard

After Xuan Ying finished speaking, she suppressed the smile on her face, bowed to Huang Mei, and turned to leave.

It's just that this time he chose the opposite direction from when he came here. Undoubtedly, he still didn't think about going back to Wangjing in the end.

Huang Mei watched Xuan Ying go further and further from behind him, but her steps became heavy instead, and she didn't take a step for a long time.

After Xuanying's disturbance, the inn they originally stayed at obviously couldn't live anymore, but Xuanying didn't intend to find another place, and turned around in front of Huang Mei and went to the prefect's mansion.

Xuanying leaped to the tallest tree in the mansion, climbed to the highest branch, and under the cover of the branches and leaves, lay on his back on the trunk, closing his eyes and meditating.

It took Huang Mei a long time to follow up, seeing Xuanying's posture from a distance, she didn't dare to disturb her.

His eyes were slightly cold, he looked at the shadow guards on duty outside the prefect's mansion, and called people over casually: "Go and find out for me, how did Xuanying know about the news of the Lord's wedding!"

After giving an order, Huang Mei turned around and went to deal with the mess in the inn just now, but he didn't see the pale faces of the two people who got his order.

That night, Huang Mei paid all the money that should be paid in the inn, and made up a nonsense to fool everyone. After thinking twice, she finally found a place to report to Wangjing City.

But Huang Mei never imagined that not long after, he was going to regret his behavior of writing tonight, and it would be light to slap himself a few times!

But within one night, all the shadow guards who came to seal Luo City together knew all about it—the matter of the master's wedding that they painstakingly hid, was still discovered by Master Xuanying.

For some unknown reason, these people all felt a little timid at the same time, and even began to doubt whether Master Xuanying would make some unexpected moves.

But to their surprise, Xuan Ying was the first to jump off the branch when it was getting dark, and turned to meet Huang Mei who had found her.

"You don't need to look it up, you'll know sooner or later, why bother how you know it." Clearly, Xuan Ying didn't want what happened last night to continue to ferment.

"I......"

"Time is urgent. Since we haven't been able to catch the prefect for so many days, it's our turn to take the initiative." Xuanying interrupted Huang Mei, and changed the topic on his own.

"Call all the shadow guards, and gather at the old place in half an hour." Xuan Ying gave the order calmly, without looking at Huang Mei at all.

However, Huang Mei knew all the reasons, and considering the slap she had just given Xuanying last night, she didn't dare to go up to her.

Under Huang Mei's guilty conscience, when Xuanying proposed to go straight and even risk her life, although Huang Mei disagreed, she still did not expressly object.

Just wait for that night, under the cover of a few shadow guards, Xuanying broke into the eunuch's bedroom alone, with a knife and an arrow in his sleeve, and ran out with the eunuch's blood book, without disturbing anyone on the way.

"How is it?" Huang Mei was the first to rush forward after Xuan Ying came out, and asked worriedly.

Xuan Ying shook her head, and tightened the blood book in her hand a little: "I'm fine, Prefect Feng Luo... Go back and explain in detail."

Although there are shadow guards of the palace all around, Huang Mei suddenly knew that the situation had changed if Xuanying could say "go back and talk".

He had no choice but to nod, casually ordered the rest of the people to go on as usual, followed Xuanying and quickly returned to the new inn where he stayed.

That night, the lights in the room where Xuanying and Huang Mei lived stayed on all night, and the whispering inside never stopped.

When Huang Mei finally came out, his complexion was not less serious than Xuan Ying's when he left the prefect's mansion.

Although it is said that the shore of the land is the land of the king, and the ministers who lead the land are the king's ministers, but Xuan Ying and the others have never imagined that the emperor of a country can extend his hand so deep and his methods so vicious.

They didn't even expect that it was not just the King of Liang who stood in front of Prince Rui's mansion...

Six or seven days had passed, and Xuan Ying had been busy with tasks every day. After the assassination that day to extract a confession, she relied on the prefect's confession to inquire several times, and vaguely found the route of a small workshop in the north of Fengluo City.

Huang Mei's attitude towards Xuanying also changed from uneasy at the beginning to distressed and guilty later on.

After all, a poor little obedient person who only runs around for the palace is easier to be pitied than a crazy killer.

I also don't know if it was Xuanying's deliberation. Xuanying went out of the city several times to explore the way, and they all arranged for Huang Mei to follow, as if to say:

Look, I don't think about going back to the palace again.

Time passed day by day, and it was early morning again. Huang Mei woke up from her sleep and subconsciously looked to her side.

With just one glance, he was so frightened that he lost all drowsiness.

"Come here! Where is Master Xuanying?" Huang Mei greeted, and immediately called the shadow guards outside the door, pointed to the empty couch beside him, and kept stumbling, "Everyone, everyone!"

The shadow guard who was called in was puzzled for a moment: "Didn't your lord go out last night? Didn't you just rest for a while, and only lord Xuanying went to the prefect's mansion?"

As Huang Mei listened, her heart began to beat violently, and before she could even finish listening to the other party, she got out of bed to gather her clothes.

"A bunch of waste!" Huang Mei was extremely annoyed, she pushed the people away as soon as she changed her clothes, and rushed towards the prefect's mansion in a panic.

Huang Mei didn't have the heart to care about how many passers-by were knocked down along the way.

When Huang Mei arrived outside the prefect's mansion, he was not surprised to learn from the shadow guards outside the prefect's mansion that Xuan Ying had never been there at all.

Huang Mei's face was full of anxiety, but she still sneaked into the crowd quietly, followed by the other two shadow guards. As Huang Mei walked faster and faster, the anxiety on his face became deeper and deeper.

I think back then...

After being forced out from the mouth of the prefect by the Ninth Five-Year Lord to intervene, they knew that the Lingnan matter was far more difficult to deal with than they imagined.

And this news must be sent back to Wangjing, but thinking of the possible mistakes along the way, the news can only be sent back by Xuan Ying or Huang Meiqi himself.

Thinking of the Lord's exhortation to never let Xuan Ying know about his marriage, it seems that Huang Mei can only be allowed to go back.

But because Huang Mei was worried about leaving Xuanying alone, she had to keep postponing her return date for a few days, who would have thought that she would open her eyes this morning.

People are gone!

Thinking about it now, didn't the prefect's confession give Xuanying an excuse to return to Wangjing as a matter of course.

It's also his fault, why was Xuan Ying fooled by Xuanying's quietness for a few days!

Huang Mei twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled self-deprecatingly, for a moment she didn't know whether to chase Xuan Ying back or stay in Lingnan to preside over the overall situation.

However, as Huang Mei walked further and further, he finally gritted his teeth: "Come on!"

Huang Mei pulled her face, and called the shadow guard behind her and said, "Call the three brothers, set off immediately, and chase Xuan Ying back to me!"

Although Ying Ba Ying Jiu didn't understand the connotation, he still took the order honestly. Seeing that Master Huang Mei was really anxious, he left a little faster.

Here, Huang Mei was lucky enough to go after someone, but he didn't know that the person he was chasing was stopped on the official road after only a few dozen miles out of the city.

Xuanying had traveled most of the night, coupled with the high level of mental tension, his face looked a bit vicissitudes in vain.

After all, Xuanying still couldn't give up the idea of ​​returning to Wangjing.

It's just that this time he didn't want to question the Lord, he thought...

Just take a look, just take a look, as long as he sees that the news of the Lord's wedding is true, he will never dare to dream about it again.

Not to mention the portraits that he shouldn't have, even if he gets entangled with the master again, there will be no more.

It doesn't matter whether he returns to Lingnan to take root, or sacrifices his life for the lord, in short, he will not be an eyesore between the lord and the princess, and it will only be annoying.

With this in mind, Xuanying finally left without saying goodbye after arranging Feng Luocheng's follow-up.

And the little bit of longing that remained in his heart was too weak, even Xuanying himself ignored it.

Simply, he can also guarantee that there will be basically no mistakes in the city during the time when he leaves, so whether he stays in Fengluo City or not is not that important.

But just as Xuanying was about to find a place to drink the horses, dozens of figures suddenly appeared horizontally on the road in front of them, and while driving the horses rushed out, they shouted loudly: "Who is here!"

Xuan Ying felt vigilant, and quickly touched the short blade in her sleeve with her free hand.

His face was tense, his eyes burst into radiance instantly, he stared at the person who rushed out calmly, and only waited for the person who was approaching to make a one-on-ten.

Just when Xuanying was planning to strike first, the dozen or so people rushing towards him spread out in all directions as if they could have predicted his method, showing a faint tendency to surround Xuanying.

Seeing this, Xuan Ying had no choice but to stop the horse gradually, and for the time being only kept vigilant, carefully paying attention to what these people were trying to do.

When these people finally formed a circle with Xuanying in the middle, one person finally emerged from them.

The man's face was covered with a veil, he laughed twice, and then he let out a loud voice: "Who is here, dare to trespass on the territory of the grandpas!"

After the words fell, the rest of the people responded again and again: "Who is who!"

Xuanying looked at them, the horse under his seat kept spinning, and even Xuanying took a look at these people one by one.

Just then the leader continued to say: "This is the territory of King Hushan, trespassers, stay alive!"

The weirdness in Xuanying's heart also became clearer: something is wrong!

The people on the other side didn't seem to feel anything strange. After shouting a few times, the leader said again: "But the leader has devoted himself to Buddha recently. As long as you wait for the little thief to quickly return to Fengluo City, I will spare your life!"

Xuanying thought: "If you go back to the city, will you spare your life?"

"Of course!" The other party replied, "I will let you live when you return to the city, but if I wait until you say you won't listen, then don't blame brother for having no eyes!"

There is nothing wrong with a sword without eyes, but Xuan Yingying listened to the other party's awkward words as a bandit, and a ridiculous idea appeared in his mind.
