Hard to be a shadow guard

On the streets of Luochen Town.

Vendors on the left and right were yelling and selling, and many people from the town and surrounding villages were buying on the street.

As the only eldest lady of the Feng family, Feng Xiaoxiao's ostentation on the street is comparable to that of a high-ranking official. Although there is no way to clear the way, there are at least a dozen servants and maids in front and back.

Simply the people in the town have long been accustomed to Miss Feng's travel habits, and they didn't pay much attention to it.

In this way, Xie Yiqian reluctantly accepted to walk side by side with the other party.

Otherwise, the residents of the town will see it as a monkey show... Xie Yiqian can't afford to lose face for the time being.

Feng Xiaoxiao here walked forward while looking around, occasionally seeing a beautiful rouge hairpin, without even thinking about it, she directly ordered the servants: "I want that hairpin, go buy it!"

His arrogance made Xie Yiqian look sideways several times.

Ying Yi pretended to be the guard of an ordinary family, followed behind Xie Yiqian by two steps, no matter how crowded the street was, he never left Xie Yiqian's side.

But Huang Mei and Ying Er were idle, avoiding the eyes of the people on the street, each holding a handful of melon seeds, squatting on the roofs on both sides of the road.

While nibbling melon seeds, he poked his head around to appreciate the uproar of the Lord and Miss Feng's family.

Or it could be said that Dufeng Xiaoxiao was making a fuss alone.

Anyway, Xie Yiqian is also the prince, and he is much older than Feng Xiaoxiao, so he really wouldn't be serious with a girl.

Even if this girl's chatter was annoying, she was so cute that Xie Yiqian once wanted to part ways with her.

But thinking of Feng Xiaoxiao's father's energy in the local area, maybe the information he collected in a few words is more complete than his few days.

Xie Yiqian repeatedly told himself to be patient, and finally restrained the desire to throw his sleeves and leave.

As a result, Huang Mei and Ying Er, who were bored, had a good time listening to the scene.

In their impression, they have never seen the Lord so helpless——

Feng Xiaoxiao's destination was very clear from the moment she came out. After all, the foreigners who followed her didn't understand the local conditions, so naturally she took wherever she took.

Even if she went to meet the blacksmith elder brother willfully...

Feng Xiaoxiao was walking on the street, but there was a blush on her face for no reason. At first glance, she looked like a young girl who was immersed in her own world and refused to go out.

Xie Yiqian turned his head by accident, just when he saw Feng Xiaoxiao's wry smile, he was so frightened that he immediately took half a step back, then moved to the side, trying his best to keep a sufficient distance from the other party.

I don't want his small actions to alarm Feng Xiaoxiao.

Feng Xiaoxiao frowned and looked over, staring at a pair of big smart eyes, and asked displeasedly: "What are you hiding? You are so far away from Miss Ben, is it possible that you are afraid that Miss Ben will eat you?"

Although Feng Xiaoxiao refused to marry from the beginning, in her eyes, no one should ever be unwilling to marry her, and the same goes for this foreigner who doesn't know where.

Even when Xie Yi said "not to marry" sternly that day, after a night of fermentation, Feng Xiaoxiao only thought it was a new trick by the other party to attract her attention.

Fortunately, Xie Yiqian didn't have the skill to read people's minds, otherwise he would understand what Feng Xiaoxiao was thinking, but he wouldn't know how he felt.

Xie Yiqian's silence made Feng Xiaoxiao very angry.

She directly stopped her progress, turned around and faced Xie Yiqian: "Hey, am I talking to you?"

Xie Yiqian's eyes moved slightly, as if showing mercy, he cast a contemptuous glance at Feng Xiaoxiao, but the coldness in his eyes soon frightened Feng Xiaoxiao's body stiff.

"you......"

"Miss Feng respects herself." Xie Yiqian said indifferently, the condensation on his face was a gesture Feng Xiaoxiao had never seen before.

She was frightened immediately, and stood there in a daze, without responding for a while.

While Xie Yiqian was speaking, his eyes flickered to high places, but his eyes fell impartially on Huang Mei who was smiling uncontrollably on the roof. Huang Mei's fingers trembled in shock, and most of the melon seeds were sprinkled.

After scaring the two of them back and forth, seeing Feng Xiaoxiao stopped chattering and Huang Mei didn't dare to laugh anymore, he finally felt a little better.

Xie Yiqian smiled again, and said to Feng Xiaoxiao: "Miss Feng, don't you plan to go on?"

His tone was mostly gentle, but in Feng Xiaoxiao's ears, there was an inexplicable creepy feeling.

Feng Xiaoxiao's sixth sense made her nod subconsciously, and she obediently stepped back to the side, shrinking her neck and not daring to say anything.

Seeing this, the chill in Xie Yiqian's eyes lessened a little.

Unexpectedly, this tranquility was only maintained for a moment, and Feng Xiaoxiao soon revealed her true colors, saying that she should be an eighth woman if she said something strange.

Hearing "Miss Ben" ringing in his ears again, Xie Yiqian's eyes went dark, and his hands hidden under his sleeves clenched again...

On the other hand, Huang Mei on the roof was warned and finally calmed down a bit. He waited and watched the Lord's way forward, habitually inquiring ahead of time for any abnormalities ahead.

The pancake vendor, no problem.

Monkey show entertainers, no problem.

Haggling auntie, no problem.

Blacksmith's shop, no...

"Damn it!" At this moment, the unspeakable feeling in Huang Mei's heart was beyond words.

He even lost control of his movements for a while, and even staggered when he jumped off the roof, avoiding the tragedy of dog eating shit.

But even if he shook his ankle when he jumped down, Huang Mei didn't dare to stop in the slightest when he rushed forward, especially when he had to pass through the crowded crowd and endure the complaints of many irascible aunts.

"Oh, what a squeeze..."

"Are you rushing to reincarnate?"

Occasionally, someone was pushed away by Huang Mei, but he was overwhelmed and slapped him on the shoulder with his backhand, but Huang Mei didn't care about these anymore, and just rushed in Xie Yiqian's direction.

Recalling the slap on the roof just now, the familiar figure in the blacksmith workshop not far away...

Even though Xuan Ying had undergone a great change, Huang Mei recognized her at the first sight, and then broke into a cold sweat.

Huang Mei didn't even have time to think about Xuan Ying's appearance, and now she regrets it very much, very regretful——

Why did he listen to the Lord's words and postpone the investigation of new residents?Why can't we go and see it in advance!

Huang Mei pulled her neck and looked forward, only to see that Xie Yiqian and Feng Xiaoxiao were still walking forward side by side, and a dozen steps away was Xuanying's blacksmith shop.

The sparks flying out from the scorching iron furnace splashed everywhere, and the blacksmith wiped the sweat from his brow in the midst of his work, and then clanked the hammer again.

Looking at the supposedly harmonious scene, Huang Mei was cold all over.

He couldn't even imagine that if the lord raised his head, Xuan Ying, who was forging iron, would turn his head again... a short lifespan!

After all, it was on a crowded street, and Huang Mei couldn't help shouting "My lord, don't go any further".

But it was even more difficult for him to rush to Xie Yiqian's side quickly.

Xie Yiqian in front didn't know the anxiety behind him at all, and he didn't know what kind of surprises were waiting for him ahead.

Only for a moment, Feng Xiaoxiao's chattering voice filled his ears, which was very disturbing and he couldn't avoid it.

"Let me tell you, don't think that Miss Ben is easy to bully, you go to the street and ask, is there anyone in Luochen Town who doesn't want to marry Miss Ben?"

"It's just a pity that Miss Ben has a long-awaited love, and you can't help it...I'll let you see the heroic appearance of the blacksmith brother in a while, you should retreat from the difficulties, don't dream all day, dreaming about being with me Miss Ben is getting married!"

Xie Yiqian let his ears go, and let Feng Xiaoxiao say what he said, but he didn't pay much attention to it after all.

As for the little girl's self-righteousness of turning right from wrong... little girl, as long as she is happy.

So when Huang Mei went through untold hardships, she finally passed through the crowd of men, women, old and young, and one step away was the Lord's body.

Huang Mei was about to raise her hand to pat Xie Yiqian's shoulder, but when she turned her head, the sight that happened to meet made him freeze in place on the spot.

It turned out that at some point, Xie Yiqian and Huang Mei had already stopped in front of the blacksmith shop under the purposeful leadership of Feng Xiaoxiao.

Xie Yiqian was looking curiously at the blacksmithing workshop in front of him, and the crisp sound of iron objects colliding could be heard continuously.

But with Feng Xiaoxiao's extremely excited voice: "Brother Blacksmith, Xiaoxiao has come to see you!"

An unmarried girl, but she is so ostentatious in public, regardless of what this "blacksmith" looks like, the first impression she left on Xie Yiqian is not good.

But when Xie Yiqian's gaze stayed on the figure behind the boiler, his gaze froze.

Xuan Ying was dizzy from being so busy, who would have heard the voice she disliked the most.

His subordinates paused in a hurry, even though he was very unwilling, he still had to take two steps forward, and opened his mouth to ask Miss Feng's family to leave.

But just as Xuanying's figure was completely revealed, a man and a woman opposite came into his field of vision at the same time.

The four eyes met, and the atmosphere froze instantly.

"Boom——" Xuanying lost his grip on the red-hot iron rod for a moment, and slammed it heavily on the ground, making a loud noise.

Something wrong with the surroundings always lingered on Xie Yiqian and the three of them, but it failed to affect Feng Xiaoxiao in the slightest.

So until Feng Xiaoxiao bounced up to Xuan Ying's side, smiled brightly, "Brother Blacksmith", and was about to reach out to hug him.

It was only then that Xuanying woke up, his face that was scorched red by the flames turned pale in an instant, and together with the emptiness of his brain, Xuanying's first action was to turn his back to Xie Yiqian.

The next moment, Xuanying ran out without even thinking about it.

Xie Yiqian's forehead twitched, his eyes were full of Xuan Ying's downcastness, especially the strange walking posture of the other party made him feel even more troubled.

Until Xuanying limped to the door of the shop, a loud shout suddenly sounded behind him: "Xuanying stop!"

The humility and fear engraved in his bones made him stop immediately, and his body trembled violently.

If it wasn't for the remaining consciousness supporting him, perhaps he would have already knelt down...

But in a short while, Xuanying's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
