Hard to be a shadow guard

Huang Mei let Xuanying sleep for a day and a night.

During this day and night, Huang Mei took over all the tedious tasks, and he not only had to deal with all kinds of unsuitable trivialities, but also paid attention to the movement of Xuanying.

Unexpectedly, a whole day had passed, and Xuanying was nestled under the blanket, motionless.

After another night, Huang Mei was sitting at the table, staring at the big lump on the bed, looking carefully, it seemed that she was gnashing her teeth.

And the person sleeping soundly on the bed didn't know if it was real or not, anyway, he remained motionless, letting the piercingly sad eyes scrutinize him at will.

It looks like it has nothing to do with me.

Until the sky was bright outside the window, Huang Mei suddenly heard a slight snort, his spirit was shaken, and his originally relaxed body suddenly tensed up.

Then, just as he thought, Xuanying first stretched out his arms from the quilt, swayed from side to side, as if he hadn't woken up, and "hummed" twice in dissatisfaction.

Then he stretched his legs again, bent his knees and kicked off the quilt, exposing his whole body to the air.

After sleeping with his clothes all night, his clothes were inevitably wrinkled, but Xuanying didn't care, he sat up in a daze, raised his hand and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

After that, I have to yawn and stretch, shake my head and touch my belly, so that I can care about the existence of other people in the room.

Only when Xuan Ying turned her head, she happened to meet Huang Mei's sullen face: "Master, have you had enough sleep?"

Xuanying nodded honestly, thought for a while and added: "I've had enough sleep, I'm just a little hungry."

This is good, one sentence ignited Huang Mei's anger: "Forget it if you starve to death!"

He jumped up from his seat, spun around two or three times on the spot, and pointed at Xuanying with his index finger.

"How dare you be hungry! Tell me, where did you go without saying a word yesterday? When you came back, you fell asleep without saying a word. Am I too spoiled by you!"

Huang Mei doesn't care if Xuan Ying is negligent in his duties, nor does he care if Xuan Ying is passive and sabotage during missions, but Xuan Ying only escaped late at night and refused to say anything when he came back. Who is worried about this?

At first, Huang Mei was convinced, thinking that Xuanying had sneaked back to Wangjing, but Xuanying's voluntary return dispelled his deduction.

He never thought that a bastard like Xuan Ying, who was full of love for children, would come back after running out.

It's a pity that the reality is far from what he imagined.

God knows, when she saw Xuanying get into the quilt with her head covered, Huang Mei even had a moment of doubt——

Don't let him be bullied by someone, he hid after being wronged...

With all kinds of strange thoughts in mind, Huang Mei has been busy for a long time and waited for Xuan Ying all night, which can be said to be physically and mentally exhausting.

Who would have thought that Xuan Ying would start to irritate people as soon as she opened her eyes, and would still want to eat when she was full of sleep?

Huang Mei was about to laugh angrily, and shouted ferociously: "Tell me everything, if there is anything I don't like about what you said today, just wait for me!"

Xuan Ying was noncommittal, but feeling thirsty as she touched her flat belly.

He tried to pour a cup of tea to moisten his throat first, but Huang Mei stopped him before he took a step: "Why are you going again? Have you said all the questions I asked you?"

Xuan Ying carefully looked at Huang Mei's face, struggled for a long time, and finally did not challenge Huang Mei's endurance.

And what he met yesterday was nothing unsightly, Xuan Ying confessed after a short pause: "Yesterday I planned to return to Beijing to send news to the Lord."

As soon as the words came out, Huang Meixin felt cold for a while, but after thinking about it, something was wrong: "Then why are you back again..."

"Of course I was stopped by someone." Xuanying replied naturally, "The Lord sent dozens of shadow guards to wait outside Fengluo City, just waiting for me to be dishonest."

"Since the Lord ordered not to leave Fengluo privately, why should I go back?" Xuanying looked at Huang Mei with a half-smile while talking.

Obviously, why did the Lord know that he might return to Wangjing? No one except Huang Mei would report it.

Being watched by Xuan Ying like this for a long time, Huang Mei felt a little guilty, and her original questioning was blocked by the shadow guard who blocked people outside Feng Luo City.

After a while, Huang Mei conceded defeat: "All right."

He said dejectedly, with a somewhat dejected attitude, turned around and walked out: "Then you wash up first, I...I'll get you something to eat."

He naturally wanted to ask Xuanying how he came back so obediently, but remembering the abnormality when Xuanying returned yesterday, he finally didn't ask.

It wasn't until Xuanying waited peacefully for the breakfast service delivered to her door, and finally felt a little satisfied after eating and drinking.

Only then did he remember to talk to Huang Mei about something serious: "Since I don't want to leave Feng Luo, you should go back and report to the lord about the forces behind the eunuch."

"Ah?" Huang Mei was lying on the couch loading the corpse, when she heard this, she got up in surprise.

Xuan Ying only thought that it was because the other party was still worried, so she comforted her with a good temper: "Just don't worry, I won't leave Feng Luo again, and I won't go out until the task is completed. You can go back to the palace with peace of mind."

"..." Huang Mei wanted to say that he was not worried about this, but he opened and closed his mouth a few times, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Personal emotions should not be tolerated in the face of major events.

Huang Mei understands the importance of the information, and also knows that his duty is to investigate the secret affairs in Fengluo City.

After thinking twice, Huang Mei seemed to have no other words to refute. Facing Xuan Ying's smile, he finally nodded heavily.

That afternoon, Huang Mei embarked on the journey back to Beijing alone.

Xuan Ying didn't send her off, she rested for a day and a night, even though she couldn't clean up the clutter in her heart, in the eyes of others, she still had enough to live on.

Of course, even if other people still think that Lord Xuanying is trying too hard, they can't control Xuanying.

So Xuan Ying spent the next few days laying out various bureaus in the city almost without sleep, either to hide his own news, or to detect the enemy's deployment, or just to plan for a rainy day...

The leader is too busy to stand up every day, so the subordinates naturally dare not stop.

Especially Xuanying's face is sullen every day, others can't see his emotions, and they don't dare to touch Xuanying's bad luck.

In short, no matter what kind of blunder, even if Huang Mei never came back after returning to Wangjing, the efficiency of the people who stayed in Fengluo City was not improved by 01:30...

The people in Fengluo City were still as busy as before, and they didn't even notice the turmoil of various forces in the city. Even the prefect of the city had his throat cut silently on a dark and windy night.

Time passed day by day, when Xuanying finally stopped her busy pace and looked back quietly, she realized——

It turns out that the criminal evidence that Zheng Liang Wang colluded with the salt merchants has been obtained from the pawnshop owner.

It turns out that the Fengluo City Commercial Firm operated by the emperor has been replaced by someone from the palace.

It turns out that the Lingnan military power that the Lord longed for... also entered the hands of his own people in the army.

For many years since Xuanying entered the palace, no matter how long or short it was, there was never a task that he could not complete...

Xuan Ying finally returned to the inn after a few days after checking repeatedly to make sure that there was no obtrusive existence in the city.

Like ten days ago, he fell asleep for another day and night, and only after opening his eyes did he reassign a task that the shadow guard was responsible for.

When he finished arranging everything, the time was exactly at the end that Xuanying expected, and if he had to hurry up on the way back to Wangjing, there would be an extra two days.

However, Xuanying was worried that something might happen on the road, so he packed his luggage overnight, and made the final arrangement of the information about Fengluo City, so he could finally embark on the road back to Beijing with peace of mind.

But when he left the city, Xuan Ying came out in disguise, only after seeing a few familiar figures hiding at the gate of the city, his eyes darkened a bit.

But this time, he thought that the task had been completed, and there was no act of disobedience.

Besides, in front of the Lord's love poison, how could he care about the punishment of going back to Beijing privately!

It's just that Xuan Ying can be thankful that besides his physical strength, he also has a detoxification function for the leader.

......

In Wangjing City at this time, Xie Yiqian didn't know that Xuanying had embarked on the journey back two days ago.

It's just that in the early morning of this day, the spies who delivered the letter outside the mansion had just stepped into the side door of the palace, and the palace sent the eunuch at the same time.

Xie Yiqian frowned slightly, beckoning Tianren who was in the dark to come out first, and take the spies away before the people from the palace came over.

Only then did Xie Yiqian go out to greet him, he nodded slightly: "I don't know why Eunuch Gao is here?"

This Eunuch Gao is a celebrity in front of us today, even if Xie Yiqian is usually rebellious and rebellious, he still has to pretend to be courteous when facing this person.

But today, Eunuch Gao didn’t have time to care about King Rui’s attitude, so he bowed his hands in return: “I’ve seen the prince, there’s news from outside Beijing this morning that there’s a sudden flood in the north, and the disaster is out of control, and it’s already affected the north of Wangjing city this morning.” , Your Majesty is summoning all the ministers to discuss matters in the Imperial Study Room."

Xie Yiqian didn't understand why he should be allowed to do this kind of thing, after all, since he and Zuo Xiang's family got married, the emperor's attitude towards him has become worse and worse.

In many court affairs, he was deliberately excluded.

Under such circumstances, what does the northern flood have to do with him?

Although Xie Yiqian was puzzled, he could not disobey the palace's will, so he had no choice but to express his understanding, and then asked a young servant to take Eunuch Gao to sit for a while, and immediately entered the palace after he changed into the court clothes.

However, just as Xie Yiqian turned and went back to his room to change his court clothes, Tianren suddenly came in from the outside with obvious anxiety on his face.

"What's the matter?" Xie Yiqian raised his hand to ask the attendant to change his clothes, and asked casually.

What Tianren said next caught him off guard: "My lord, news came from the south that Xuanying left Fengluo City two days ago, and the shadow guards guarding outside the city had already lost Xuanying when they found out. Not surprisingly......"

Tianren said it with a little difficulty: "It may be unfortunate that he... was trapped in the flood."
