Chapter 6: The Stingy Man
Xiao Yuheng actually made a sheath for the triangular knife overnight, and even claimed he wanted to keep it for himself?!
Shen Yue was so angry that her teeth itched and she glared at him fiercely. The next moment, a certain prince's eyes swept over her and quickly left.
"Do you understand?"
The sound of Changfeng's last line was a little louder, which startled her. She immediately joined in the shouting, "I understand!"
"Yeah, very good."
At this time, Xiao Yuheng also came to the front of the team. Seeing this, everyone saluted and said, "This subordinate greets the prince!"
Xiao Yuheng nodded slightly, then said, "I'm going to a banquet at noon today. Second Director, it's your first day in office, so please stay with me."
Upon hearing this, all the directors looked puzzled, especially Zhao Si, whose face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
As everyone knows, the Shadow Guard Division has always been on duty in rotation. Yesterday it was the third division, and today it should be the fourth division that follows the prince.
But since the prince had spoken, there was nothing more for everyone to say, so they all obeyed his orders and left.
"Shen Er, you stay."
Shen Yue's mouth twitched when she heard this, and she turned around and clasped her fists: "Your Majesty."
"Well, it seems like you gave me a cold look just now." Xiao Yuheng said lightly, with no emotion in his eyes.
"Oh! How can that be possible?"
Shen Yue grinned awkwardly, "I just noticed that there was an extra dagger on the prince's waist, so I took a few more glances."
She smiled brightly, her peach blossom eyes slightly curved, looking very feminine. Xiao Yuheng couldn't help but frowning when he saw her.
"Yeah?"
He took off the triangular knife from his waist and did not hide his love for it at all.
"This is a new and interesting thing I got yesterday. It's called the Blood Drinking Thorn. What do you think of it, Shen Er?"
Shen Yue: ...
Damn, you already have a name, right?
She curled the corners of her lips, revealing a smile uglier than crying: "It's fine, but I feel that this Blood Drinking Thorn is not worthy of such a good sheath."
"How dare you!" Changfeng shouted from the side.
"How can you belittle the prince's treasure so casually?"
Well, this master and servant are right to rob someone, right?
It’s okay if she stops talking, right?
Shen Yue's cheeks flushed with anger, but she didn't dare to lose her temper and could only hold her breath. Xiao Yuheng saw this and inexplicably felt a little better.
"Hey~ Changfeng, don't scare Chen Er. He probably said that because he thinks my Bloodthirsty Spear and his triangular knife are somewhat similar. It's okay. Once she returns my things, I will definitely return the triangular knife to him."
He was openly talking to Changfeng, but in fact he was secretly reminding Chen Yue about the peach blossom cake. How could she not know?
Heh~tui!
I have never seen such a stingy man, and he is a prince!
Changfeng naturally knew what his master was thinking. He lowered his head and replied "yes", then stepped aside.
Shen Yue secretly gritted her teeth and cupped her hands: "Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I will go down and prepare the deployment."
"Um."
The man hummed softly in response.
After Shen Yue walked away, Chang Feng stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, Shen Yue has only been in the palace for three months, and he has already been promoted to director. Today, you specifically asked him to accompany you. I'm afraid the other directors will not accept it."
Xiao Yuheng glanced at him and began to walk back. "This seems to be something the captain of the guards should consider, not this king."
"...Yes, what I meant is that Your Highness must not place too much trust in this person."
"Do I need to tell you that?"
Xiao Yuheng paused, "When you go out today, find two people to keep an eye on him. Remember to keep a distance. His hearing should be as good as yours."
"yes."
——
The orioles are singing and the flowers are casting shadows.
This March spring is the most beautiful time of the year in Sifang City.
In the streets and alleys, peach blossoms smile in the spring breeze, and by the clear lake, willow branches sway gently.
Two dark horses were carrying a luxurious and magnificent carriage slowly along Chang'an Street. Several figures were hiding in the darkness beside the street, following closely.
In order to conceal their presence, the shadow guards would wear casual clothes when traveling with the prince during the day. Someone would be required to scout the road ahead, someone would be left behind to guard the rear, and at least twenty people would be left on both sides to provide secret protection.
In the past three months, Shen Yue had gone on several missions with the Second Division, so she was naturally adept at making arrangements.
At this moment, she was running quickly on the roof of one side, sometimes running, sometimes jumping, and never forgetting to keep her eyes on the direction of the carriage.
When passing through a busy market, a dozen girls dressed in fancy clothes suddenly rushed out like bees and butterflies, blocking the road.
Changfeng frowned and quickly tightened the reins.
"Who dares to stop His Royal Highness King Cheng's carriage?"
Shen Yue on the roof chuckled. Who else could it be? Your Highness's little fangirl!
Xiao Yuheng was a man of noble character and kindness to the people. He had managed Sifang City in perfect order within just five years of taking over. The girls in the city were so stunned by the sight of him that they could not walk.
Shen Yue was already accustomed to the scene before her.
On the other hand, for Changfeng, every time he encounters this situation, it seems like it is the first time. It's really interesting.
When the girls saw the carriage stop, they all stood on tiptoe, stretched their necks, and looked inside through the gaps in the curtains, revealing shy expressions from time to time.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I have something to say to you. It's all written in this letter. Please accept it!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I spent three days and three nights embroidering this sachet. Do you like it?"
"What a lousy sachet! The prince would definitely prefer my handkerchief!"
"Hey, don't squeeze me..."
The girls pushed and shoved each other, and the whole place was in chaos.
Seeing that the carriage was not moving, Shen Yue simply sat on the roof, took out some melon seeds and ate them while watching the fun.
"Director, what are you looking at?" Zhang Dayong also flew onto the roof and came over.
Shen Yue smiled and said, "Look at these girls. What do you think they think? The prince is a descendant of a phoenix and a dragon. There is no way he would marry a commoner."
"Then you don't understand."
Zhang Dayong sat down next to her and took a handful of melon seeds from her hand with ease.
"The prince is handsome, has a good personality, and treats his servants generously. Even if I were his concubine, I would enjoy endless wealth and glory. If I were a woman, I would have to strive for the same."
"He's generous? Are you sure?"
Shen Yue seriously suspected that the prince Zhang Dayong mentioned was not the same person as her prince.
The word "generous" has absolutely nothing to do with Xiao Yuheng. She would rather believe that he is a stingy person.
The Shadow Guards had been trained not to use force in such situations, so the two men had no choice but to hide on the roof and watch the carriage being surrounded.
Xiao Yuheng really had no choice but to stretch out his slender jade-like hand and lift the curtain of the car.
Then came the girls' crazy screams:
"Ahhhhhh, the prince is so handsome!"
