Chapter of Night

Just as Feng Chenyu closed the door, Ma Su's powerful voice came from behind him.

"Young Master."

"Shh!"

He quickly turned around and motioned him not to speak.

Ma Sui, who didn't understand what was going on, quickly stopped talking and looked at his master suspiciously.

"She's still asleep."

Feng Chenyu rolled his eyes in displeasure.

“We have been in a hurry to travel these days, and everyone has been tired.

Let everyone enjoy breakfast first and not rush to get on the road."

After saying that, he walked towards the front yard.

Looking at Feng Chenyu's departing figure, Ma Sui looked into the room curiously. So Madam Shangguan and Young Master slept in the same room last night?

Realizing that the person behind him did not move, Feng Chenyu looked back and Ma Su immediately followed him.

After about an incense stick of time, Fuyao on the bed trembled his eyes slightly, and then opened his eyes.

She didn't know what time it was. She rubbed her still blurry eyes with her hand and turned around to see that Feng Chenyu was no longer in the room.

I stood up and opened the door, and saw him practicing martial arts not far away in the yard.

Seeing that the person had stood up, Feng Chenyu quickly put down the long sword in his hand and walked towards her.

"You must be hungry. Let someone bring you something to eat."

Feng Chenyu turned his head and looked at Ma Su who was standing not far away, and the latter understood what he meant.

Fuyao spoke awkwardly,

"I got up late. Did I delay everyone's trip?"

Last night was the most restful night she had slept since she left home, so she overslept without realizing it.

"Next time you do this, you should wake me up."

Feng Chenyu lowered his head and chuckled.

"Well, it's my fault this time."

"I did not mean that."

Fuyao said awkwardly.

"Know."

Feng Chenyu replied lovingly, with an irrepressible smile naturally showing in the corners of his eyes.

Everything was ready and the large army started to set off.

Feng Chenyu was still leading the charge, but behind him was Fu Yao, who was riding a horse.

As the boundary got closer to Ningbei, even the air became hot.

Feng Chenyu looked up at the scorching sun, then at the gurgling river not far away, called out to everyone to stop, and turned to the carriage.

"Minister Sun, it's hot at noon. Why don't we stop ahead for a while?"

"Everything is subject to the arrangements of the Master."

Minister Sun opened the curtains, but was unable to open his eyes because of the scorching sun outside.

As soon as the group arrived at the river, some soldiers couldn't stand the heat and jumped into the river.

"Young Master."

Ma Sui stepped forward and handed the water bottle and dry food to Feng Chenyu who was standing by the river.

However, the latter did not take it. He just glanced at Fu Yao who was sitting under a big tree not far away, and Ma Sui then hurried towards her again.

"The young master asked me to bring you some food."

Ma Sui whispered.

"Thank you." Fu Yao nodded and took it, while looking at Feng Chenyu who was standing by the river.

After crossing the river and traveling for a while, they finally arrived at the post station before dark.

After finishing the meal, everyone returned to their rooms.

Feng Chenyu and Minister Sun each had a room, and the rest of the people shared a room with two or more people.

Fuyao was assigned to share a room with Ma Chong, and she hesitated, not knowing where to go.

After finishing the meal, Ma Su went into Feng Chenyu's room to discuss things. After they finished, Feng Chenyu thought about the things in the room.

"How are the rooms in the inn arranged?"

Ma Sui naturally understood what he was concerned about.

"Madam Shangguan and I were assigned to the same room."

"you?"

Feng Chenyu suddenly squinted his eyes and glanced at him.

"You need some rest too?"

"Oh, no, no."

Ma Sui shook his head and left the room.

Fuyao had nowhere to go, so she pushed open the door, but there was no sign of Ma Su.

Just as she was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

She thought Ma Su had returned and whispered,

"Come in."

The door opened and it was Feng Chenyu who came in.

Seeing her standing stiffly in the middle of the room, he suddenly felt distressed.

"Sleep well, Ma Su has gone to another room."

"Oh well."

Fuyao finally let go of her anxious heart.

Lying on the bed, she felt itchy all over.

She hadn't had a proper bath these days because she had been with a group of men.

Then she got up, put on her clothes and left the inn, because she remembered there was a small river next to the inn, where she could at least wash.

At this time, the moon had just climbed over the mountain, and a layer of silver floated on the surface of the river.

Looking at the clear spring, Fuyao was delighted.

Unexpectedly, just as she took off her hair accessories and outer clothes and went into the river, she heard a man's voice coming from not far away.

In her haste, she didn't even have time to put on her clothes, and she hid behind a big rock on the side in a panic.

It turned out that the two soldiers also came out to take a bath. They took off their shirts and jumped into the river with their bare arms.

"Wow, that's cool."

The two men couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time greedily splashed the river water on themselves.

Because it was dark at night, they did not notice the coat Fuyao took off by the river.

Standing behind the stone, Fuyao felt extremely depressed. She didn't expect to encounter such a situation when she came out to take a shower.

Just when she didn't know what to do, she suddenly heard a voice coming from not far away.

"Who's there?"

As he spoke, the figure walked towards the river.

The two men shouted hurriedly,

"Appoint him as deputy envoy."

Feng Chenyu took a few steps closer and glanced down at the riverside.

"After you're done washing, go back to bed. We have to travel tomorrow."

"Yes, yes."

Seeing that he had a sullen face, the man didn't know what law he had broken by bathing in the river and had offended him.

He quickly walked ashore and hurried back to the post station.

"Come out."

Seeing that the two had walked away, Feng Chenyu said in a low voice.

At this time, a young girl walked out from behind a big rock under the moonlight, with moonlight flowing in her hair, stars twinkling in her eyes, and clear spring water flowing at her fingertips, just like a fairy under the moon.

She lowered her head slightly, her slender shoulders exposed, and the areas covered by her underwear were wet.

In the moonlight, you can vaguely see her curvy figure.

When she met Feng Chenyu's deep eyes, Fuyao looked away shyly, her arms crossed in front of her chest at a loss.

For a moment, Feng Chenyu's pupils trembled slightly and his throat became hoarse.

He hurriedly leaned over to pick up Fuyao's coat from the river bank and put it on her in a clumsy manner.

The hands that were used to holding a long sword and decisively killing the enemy trembled slightly unconsciously.

At this moment, Fuyao's face was as red as the midday sun, and Feng Chenyu only felt a burning sensation behind his ears.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to speak and just walked towards the post station.

After entering the room, Fuyao slumped down on the chair in a daze.

Recalling the scene just now, she wished she could run back to Ganzhou alone.

There was another short knock on the door, and her heart, which had just been relieved, rose again.

"who?"

"Me." Feng Chenyu's heavy voice came from outside the door.

Not knowing what else he wanted to say, Fuyao slowly opened the door and saw him walking in carrying a wooden bucket.

Fuyao shyly avoided looking at him, and Feng Chenyu only stared at the wooden barrel.

"It's all my fault for not thinking it through."

Having said that, he hurried out again.

After a while, he came in carrying two buckets of water.

After everything was settled, he turned around and looked at Fuyao with a stiff expression.

"You wash, I'll guard outside the door."

Just as the door was about to close, a thank you came from inside.

Feng Chenyu lowered his head, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and turned his back to the door.

Looking up at the full moon, he suddenly grinned and smiled foolishly, his heart filled with sweetness.

Fuyao sat in the wooden barrel in the house, a warm current flowing in her heart. This was the first time she felt happy since her mother's death.

After more than a month, everyone finally arrived at Ningbei Kingdom.

After a day of rest, Minister Sun and Feng Chenyu were called into the palace.

At this time, Emperor Li Shuo was sitting in front of the throne, with a group of Ningbei officials sitting on his left.

Minister Sun and Feng Chenyu were arranged to sit on the right side.

"You two have come from afar, thank you for your hard work."

Emperor Li Shuo, wearing a red crown, spoke with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your hospitality. We are both honored."

Minister Sun returned the greeting and said,

“We are here on orders this time, mainly.”

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the emperor.

"We won't discuss state affairs today."

Minister Sun and Feng Chenyu looked at each other quickly without saying anything.

At this moment, Fuyao, who was standing behind Feng Chenyu, was secretly looking at the palace in front of her.

In fact, her heart started beating violently the moment she stepped in.

This is where her father had been and where Princess Caesar grew up.

Just as she was thinking, a group of dancers in red walked in quickly.

As the music sounded, they tied their hair up in high buns, wore graceful golden crosses, and had red ribbons wrapped around their arms. They danced gracefully like fairies to the simple and light music.

After the dance ended, the dancers did not leave, but came to the men's sides.

At this time, two beautiful dancers sat on Feng Chenyu's left and right.

Fuyao glanced at him and realized that he was really rude. She smiled as she watched the dancers pour wine for him.

"What do you two think of me, the Ningbei Country Dancer?"

The emperor spoke after taking a sip of wine.

"His dancing skills are superb and his movements are exquisite."

Minister Sun praised.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Emperor Ningbei laughed loudly and then looked at Feng Chenyu.

"I heard that this deputy envoy is from the Feng family army."

"The seal is none other than my father."

Feng Chenyu stood up and spoke frankly.

"You two should serve him well, he is the hero of Lan Country."

The two dancers then toasted Feng Chenyu with a glass each.

"I've long heard that the Feng family army is invincible and brave, but unfortunately I've never had the opportunity to witness it. I wonder if Deputy Envoy Feng would be willing to spar with them?"

A man sitting on the left asked loudly.

"Since you are interested, I will certainly not refuse."

Feng Chenyu stood up and walked to the center of the hall.

The man was instantly displeased when he saw Feng Chenyu being so rude. As soon as he stood up, he threw the dart in his hand at him.

Fuyao's heart suddenly hung in her throat. She didn't expect this man to be so unsportsmanlike.

Just as the dart was about to approach Feng Chenyu, he cleverly dodged it with a backflip.

He turned around and looked at the man just now and smiled.

"Can we start now?"

Faced with his provocation, the man became furious and ran towards Feng Chenyu savagely.

Seeing this, Fuyao sighed in her heart, what a reckless man!

It is obvious that this person is no match for Feng Chenyu at all.

Immediately afterwards, several more people stood up to compete with Feng Chenyu, but unfortunately they all ended up being defeated.

The emperor sitting on the throne looked increasingly unhappy.

Seeing that no one wanted to continue the competition, Feng Chenyu was just about to sit back in his seat when a man who had been standing behind the emperor suddenly walked out.

He was dressed in plain clothes, holding a sword, and was gentle and elegant, which was obviously different from those people just now.

"I wonder if Deputy Envoy Feng would be willing to compete with me."

He spoke, his eyes calm.

"Sir, be careful."

The emperor on the throne was a little surprised.

The man in plain clothes replied respectfully,

"I am deeply grateful for your concern, Your Majesty."

Seeing Feng Chenyu preparing to fight, the man in plain clothes asked,

"I wonder what kind of weapon Deputy Envoy Feng usually uses?"

"Just give me a long knife."

Feng Chenyu said briskly.

Then the two began to compete.

The man in plain clothes is not only fair and handsome, but also dances with the sword in an elegant and free manner.

Fuyao was truly convinced and her eyes were full of admiration.

She and Uncle Yu mainly learned swordplay, but her mother thought it was inappropriate for a girl to carry a sword when going out, so she asked her to keep it at home.

It was only during this trip to Ningbei that she brought me out.

She originally thought that Uncle Yu's sword was the best in the world, but now she didn't expect that there was such a powerful person.

Just when the two were fighting fiercely, Feng Chenyu glanced at Fuyao and immediately became displeased.

He then leaped into the air and swung his sword towards him. The man in plain clothes seemed to have anticipated his move and dodged it with a slight twist of his body.

But he missed a step and saw Feng Chenyu suddenly turn over quickly, with the long knife on his neck.

The man in plain clothes lowered his head and smiled.

"I give up."

Feng Chenyu's stern expression instantly softened.

"Sir, your swordsmanship is truly first-rate."
