After traveling around the country with the black market mercenaries for such a long time, he had some knowledge about formations and didn't think he would be stumped by them.
So he thought about trying to walk in, and he thought that this should be the formation set up by Fengjiu, but he didn't think that it was the formation set up by his family. After entering the formation, although he went around several circles, he finally walked in.
As soon as he looked inside, he saw a small garden. A petite woman in a plain dress was watering the garden on her back. He thought she was the maid who took care of Feng Jiu in the courtyard, so he called out to her.
"Hey, girl over there, come here for a moment."
Unexpectedly, when his rough voice came out, the person over there didn't even react at all, and was still watering the plants. So he walked over and shouted again: "Little girl, I'm talking to you!"
Still no response, so he walked closer to the garden and patted her shoulder from behind, "Hey!"
Duan Yingying was watering the medicinal herbs in the garden when someone patted her shoulder unexpectedly. She thought it was Fengjiu, and when she turned around, she was so scared that her shoulders shrank and the watering can in her hand fell to the ground. Looking at the tall, burly man with a scary beard in front of her, her face turned pale and her body softened and fell to the ground.
"What's going on? Do I look that scary?" Guan Xilin frowned and reached out to catch the person who had fainted from fear.
After carrying the person into the pavilion, he was just thinking about finding someone to take the little girl away when he heard footsteps coming towards him. Turning around, he saw the red figure leap into view.
"Xiaojiu!" he shouted in surprise and waved at the person who came.
Hearing the voice, Feng Jiu was stunned for a moment. When her eyes fell on the person in the pavilion, surprise appeared in her eyes and a smile appeared on her face: "Brother? Why are you here?" She ran forward quickly and saw Duan Yingying unconscious in the pavilion. She couldn't help but point at her and asked: "What happened to her?"
"Xiao Jiu, I didn't expect you to be here. When I was having dinner at a restaurant in the city, I heard people talking about it outside. As soon as I heard their description, I knew it was you." He patted her shoulder with his big hand: "Except for becoming stronger, nothing else has changed! Oh, by the way, this little girl was scared to death by me."
"Frightened by you?" Fengjiu was stunned. However, when her eyes fell on his unshaven face, she couldn't help laughing: "Brother, look at you, at least trim your beard. It's a good thing it's daytime, it would be scarier at night."
"I'm on a mission outside, so I don't have much time to trim my beard. Besides, I'm used to it. The people I'm with are all grown men, and they're all like this."
He stroked his beard and said, "I don't look that scary, but I actually frightened a little girl to death."
"She is not a little girl, she is the eldest daughter of City Lord Duan, her name is Duan Yingying." Feng Jiu said with a smile.
"Oh? Is it the mayor's daughter? I thought she was the maid who served you. When I came in earlier, I asked her where you were, but she didn't even respond. Not only is she timid, but she also has a bad temper."
Hearing this, Fengjiu chuckled: "You are wrongly accusing her. She can't hear or speak, and she didn't mean to ignore you. In fact, she is a very good person, very simple."
