Chapter 5 Who do you look down on?

The origin of Shen Yue is really strange. He usually keeps a low profile, but today he suddenly revealed his strength for some reason.

His moves were ruthless and much better than Qiao Er's. Right now the Shadow Guard Division was short of staff, so it would be a good idea to temporarily hand over the Second Division to him for management.

"Well, get up."

As soon as Xiao Yuheng said this, it was considered as her tacit consent to let her be the second director.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now!"

Shen Yue smiled triumphantly, bowed to express her gratitude and was about to leave.

Looking at the triangular special combat knife in her hand, Xiao Yuheng smacked his lips and finally spoke:

“Shen Er, wait a minute!”

He has always been too lazy to remember the director's name, so for convenience he always calls him by his surname + department number. For example, Qiao Er, his original name was Qiao Mu, but in front of Xiao Yuheng, he could only be called Qiao Er.

Similarly, the directors of other departments are Jiang Da, Yao San, and Zhao Si.

But as a girl, Shen Yue didn't like this name at all.

The corners of her mouth twitched, and she turned her head reluctantly and bowed slightly.

"What else do you want, Your Majesty?"

"Um... what is that weapon in your hand? Show it to me."

After hearing what he said, Shen Yue finally reacted -

The reason why this guy asked her to come to the study was because he liked her three-edged hemp flower!

But since her leader had spoken, she had no choice but to obey and present it obediently.

Xiao Yuheng narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up the triangular knife and looked at it carefully in his hand.

He had seen similar weapons before. This weapon had three blood grooves and would form a triangular wound when pierced into the human body. It was impossible to bandage and stop the bleeding.

In other words, once you are stabbed by this thing, you will definitely die.

An ordinary triangular-edged knife has a shortcoming, which is that it can only stab, not chop. However, the one in front of us has obviously been improved. Not only are the three edges sharpened and bent, but there are also holes in the blood groove, which greatly speeds up the bleeding while reducing its own weight.

"You did this?" he asked.

"Oh, how is that possible! This was made by Chen's Iron Shop in the west of the city. I just bought it for fun."

Shen Yue did not lie. She designed this thing herself and had it customized by Master Chen. It cost her forty taels!

"oh."

Xiao Yuheng lowered his eyes in response, showing no intention of returning the money.

"Well, Your Majesty, if you have finished reading it, please return it to me."

It's quite expensive after all.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuheng looked up at her, then reluctantly glanced at the triangular knife in his hand, and said calmly:

"You ate my peach blossom cake."

Shen Yue: ???

After she finished eating the peach blossom cake, she clearly rearranged the plate according to the way it was before. If you didn't count them specifically, you wouldn't be able to tell.

How did he find out?

Is it appropriate for a prince to stare at a plate of desserts and count them over and over again?

"You have eaten my snacks, so you should return them." The prince was in the right and obviously wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.

Shen Yue was convinced.

Xiao Yuheng was granted a fiefdom at the age of sixteen. He was like a local tyrant in Sifang City. Did he still lack this little treat?

But in the end, she was in the wrong. Taking something without asking is considered stealing, so she was wrong after all.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will buy some at the market tomorrow and return it to you."

A certain prince said expressionlessly: "It should be ten yuan."

“…”

You are good, you are right, you are awesome!

Shen Yue took a deep breath and calmed herself down. "Yes, I'll buy it and send it to you. Can you return the knife to me now?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuheng gently retracted his bony fingers and put the triangular knife into his sleeve.

"This item is left here as collateral. Once you've paid back the snack, I'll return it."

“…”

Who are you looking down on? Huh? Would this director owe you ten dollars for a snack?

Shen Yue had already started cursing in her heart, but on the surface she could only laugh and say, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Your Highness."

——

After tossing and turning for most of the night, Shen Yue was already extremely sleepy. When she returned to her residence, she threw off her boots and collapsed on the bed, ready to sleep.

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a creaky sound, and Zhang Dayong rushed in with a dozen shadow guards.

"Brother Chen, congratulations! I heard from the Chief of Guards Changfeng that you've been promoted to Director. From now on, we're all relying on you!"

Zhang Dayong put on a smile and came up to untie her belt.

Seeing this, Shen Yue was immediately shocked and pushed him away: "Brother Zhang, what are you doing?"

Zhang Dayong said innocently, "I'll help you take off your clothes! You'll be our leader from now on, so we'll do our best to serve you."

“No… no need.”

Shen Yue was so frightened that she stuttered, "We are all brothers. We will get along the same way as before."

"How can that be? A director should act like a director..."

“Yes, Brother Shen, this is the dress my wife made. I have never been willing to wear it, so I will give it to you!”

"Brother Chen, these are the steamed dumplings I made. If you like them, I'll make them for you tomorrow."

“Brother Chen, these are the dried apricots I’ve hidden in my bed for half a month. They don’t stink…”

"Stop, stop, stop!" Shen Yue made a "stop" gesture, looked at them and sighed.

They are all older than her, yet they insist on calling her brother, which is really awkward. But if they are not allowed to call her brother, they will definitely think too much.

Well, in this world, being the big brother has never been based on age and seniority. If you gain power one day, it is common to be called grandpa by people in their seventies or eighties.

"Well, Bai Yunfei, leave your steamed dumplings here, and take everyone else's stuff away. I don't want it. Also, from now on, no one is allowed to enter my room without my permission. Got it?"

"oh."

The shadow guards responded, seemingly a little listless, "Brother Chen, is there anything you need our help with?"

Shen Yue thought for a moment, "How about you help me boil some hot water so I can take a bath?"

Zhang Dayong became interested when he heard that. "Okay, then I'll rub your back!"

"...No need for a back rub, please, Brother Zhang..."

"Call me Lao Zhang!"

"Um, please, Old Zhang, sort out Director Qiao Er's belongings and return all the silver he withheld to the brothers. Don't forget..."

When Zhang Dayong heard this, he immediately understood and raised his eyebrows.

"Don't forget your share, right? I understand!"

After receiving the task, everyone rushed out of the door.

The next day.

At daybreak, Zhang Dayong broke open the door for Shen Yue. After asking carefully, she found out that the directors of each department had to undergo morning training every day.

She got up reluctantly, put on the director's uniform that Zhang Dayong brought her, and came to the training ground yawning, only to find that Changfeng and the other three directors had been waiting for a long time, and she was the last one to arrive.

Following the principle that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, she chuckled and stood in the line.

"Chen Er is the new director of the Second Division. You guys should support each other and work together for the prince..."

Changfeng stood at the front of the team with a serious face, chattering seriously, but Shen Yue's attention was attracted by Xiao Yuheng who was walking not far away.

This guy is still so handsome that you can't take your eyes off him, but something seems a little different today.

She looked him up and down silently, and finally noticed the extra dagger sheath on his waist.

The scabbard was cylindrical, made of pure gold, and inlaid with carnelian and malachite of various sizes. It was clearly priceless. The only thing that didn't match it was the hilt. This hilt...

Go away, what dagger? This is obviously her triangular knife!
