Chapter 126 Was she too harsh?
Shen Chaoyan stared at the man for a moment and found that in addition to his chest, there were also scratches on his arms and shoulders.
As she watched, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Was she too harsh last night?
Forget it, let's get up first.
She propped her hands on the soft grass and was about to stand up, but her legs suddenly went limp and she fell back onto the grass.
Damn it!
She thought she had gone too far by scratching and grabbing Sikong Yan at night.
As a result, her legs felt like they had been ruthlessly run over by a truck.
When she was lying down just now, she didn't feel anything.
But when she moved, she found that she was in pain all over her body.
This man is simply a beast!
Seeing Sikong Yan sleeping so soundly, she was so angry that she wanted to kick him twice on the spot.
Who knew that when she lifted her leg, she pulled something and grimaced in pain.
Recalling the intense last night, Shen Chaoyan couldn't help but wonder in her heart -
the medicine prescribed by Doctor Zhong for Sikong Yan, could it be used for aphrodisiac? If
she met a wild beast, at most she would be swallowed by it.
But last night Sikong Yan turned her over and over and ate her till there was nothing left!
Shen Chaoyan became more and more angry as she thought about it. She moved her legs and kicked the man again.
"Hiss!"
Unfortunately, after kicking him, she lay on the straw mat and gasped.
This is really a case of hurting the enemy a hundred times and hurting yourself twelve thousand times!
She was so noisy that Sikong Yan next to her finally opened his eyes.
"Awake?"
The man touched her long hair with his big hands, and his deep voice carried the lazy charm of someone who had just woken up.
"Yeah."
Shen Chaoyan was holding back her grumpiness as she slowly got up, took small steps, and went to the extinguished fire to get some clothes to put on.
Sikong Yan looked at her limping posture when she walked, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with your leg?"
Shen Chaoyan glared at him unhappily. No matter how noble his status was, she got angry and exploded, "What did you do last night? Don't you have any idea in your mind?"
Sikong Yan asked sincerely, "What is an idea?"
Shen Chaoyan was speechless, "..."
Sikong Yan looked at her angry expression, and immediately spoke to comfort her, "I only had you in my heart at that time, and I was indeed too indulgent. How about next time, in addition to pretending to have you in my heart, I will also pretend to be a little more knowledgeable?"
Shen Chaoyan, "!!!" She seriously suspected that this man was scolding her, but she had no evidence.
She glared at Sikong Yan again, and saw the expression of grievance and apology on his extremely deceptive handsome face. She felt like a balloon that had been stabbed with a needle, and her anger suddenly disappeared.
And Sikong Yan was also very knowledgeable, and immediately stood up and came over.
Seeing Shen Chaoyan putting on her coat, he took the initiative to help her tie her belt.
"I'm sorry, I didn't control my strength well last night. It was my first time and I had no experience, but I promise there won't be a next time."
This time, he referred to himself as "I", and his words were pleading and full of sincerity.
Shen Chaoyan lowered her head and looked at the scratches on his body that were "ravaged" by her. How could she be angry?
She reached out her hand and touched the deepest scratch on the man's chest with her fingertips, "Does it hurt?"
"No."
Sikong Yan lowered his head and looked at her waist and abdomen, "But you even have difficulty walking, how about I carry you back?"
"I can walk, but..."
Before Shen Chaoyan could say anything, her stomach made a series of 'gurgling' sounds.
She looked at Sikong Yan and covered her stomach embarrassedly.
In fact, it's not her fault. The intense exercise last night had drained her dry.
How could she not be hungry?
Sikong Yan listened to her complaints and reached out to hold her hand, "Let's go, the people who are here to pick us up should be here soon."
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Chaoyan and the man walked out of the cave, they saw two rows of guards standing neatly two or three feet away from the cave.
Seeing them, the leader Ye Hanqin immediately knelt on one knee, "Your Highness! You're here for Concubine Hua!"
Sikong Yan didn't let Ye Hanqin follow last night in order to provide Sikong Yu and the Chinese people with an opportunity to take action.
When we go back, we'll see how many useful clues Shen Yushu and Xuan Cang have found.
Thinking of this, Sikong Yan's eyes swept over the people in front of him, and his aura instantly became dignified and powerful, "Let's go."
It turned out that there was a road at the bottom of the cliff that led to the camp. Shen Chaoyan was sitting on the horse's back, and her brows wrinkled with every bump.
Sikong Yan sat behind her and rode with her.
The man's broad chest was pressed against her back, very close to her, and he immediately noticed her abnormality.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Shen Chaoyan listened to the man's question, and the unbearable experience of last night came to her mind.
Who could have thought that this well-dressed, cold and abstinent man in front of her would be a beast in human clothing when he took off his clothes. When jackals, tigers and leopards saw him, they would have to call him big brother!
At this moment, listening to his question, Shen Chaoyan didn't want to pay attention to him.
She simply fell into the man's arms, closed her eyes and rested, "Call me when we get there."
Sikong Yan hugged her into his arms, lowered his eyes to look at her bright and delicate sleeping face, and his eyes softened a little.
Shen Chaoyan was really tired, and she fell asleep leaning on his arms.
When Sikong Yan returned to the camp, he directly carried her into the tent to prevent anyone from disturbing her rest.
He went to Shen Yushu's tent.
Shen Yushu had been waiting for him. When he saw the man, he immediately bowed.
Sikong Yan glanced at him sideways, his handsome eyes slightly raised, "How is it?"
"Your Majesty, I have examined the two groups of people last night."
Shen Yushu reported to him, "There are old and young people in the families of those bandits. We finally pried open the mouth of one of them, but found that they didn't know who was the mastermind behind them. Someone would pay them on time every month, and they just took the money to do things. This person hid in the mountains, and the other party promised to give them one thousand and two taels of gold each after the task was completed."
One thousand and two taels of gold each?
"Oh! What a big deal."
Sikong Yan remembered that Shen Chaoyan had complained in his heart that Sikong Yu was an indestructible cockroach.
Before, he had never understood what "cockroach" meant.
Now, it seems that he has a little understanding.
Cockroach, although only a little strong, is also like a cockroach that hides in the gutter and is difficult to get rid of.
However, Sikong Yu is different from him.
He had not had much ambition since he was young, and he always wanted to assist his brother. It was his brother's accidental death that pushed him to that position.
Sikong Yu wanted to fight for that position since he was young. He was very careful and cautious. He was naturally very cautious about killing the king, which would kill all nine generations of his family.
"I am incompetent and failed to find any evidence against King Jing!"
Sikong Yan looked at Shen Yushu who was kneeling in front of him and said gently, "It doesn't matter. Now we are getting rid of Sikong Yu's minions step by step, which is also a gain."
After all, Sikong Yu spent a lot of effort to train the bandits into his own people.
Shen Yushu added, "Although the other wave of killers committed suicide collectively, it is not difficult to guess that they were closely related to the diplomatic corps."
Sikong Yan thought of the thoughts he heard from Shen Chaoyan, and slowly narrowed his eyes, "As for the envoys, I have my own plans."
