Chapter 147 I am here, you are here
It was already evening when the group arrived at the Baishan Hunting Ground.
Xie Tingzhou entered the tent and heard Bai Yu landing on the top of the tent and cooing twice. He lifted the curtain and came out, taking a small bamboo tube from Bai Yu's leg.
After reading it, Xie Tingzhou crumpled up the paper and stuffed it into his sleeve, saying "No need to follow", and walked in one direction with a grim face.
A quarter of an hour later, Xi Feng was worried that something might happen, but he saw Xie Tingzhou coming back, followed by a petite young man.
The young man lowered his head, his neck almost retracted into his body, and blinked at Xifeng as he passed by him.
After entering the tent, Xie Tingzhou turned around suddenly and said in a cold voice: "What did we say? If I tell you, you won't come to Chunsou."
Shen Yu had been scolded by him just now outside, but she didn't expect him to do it again now!
"You've been fierce enough, don't rush to scold me." Chen Yu turned a deaf ear and said bluntly: "You will return to Beijing tomorrow morning on the pretext of illness, something bad is going to happen here."
Xie Tingzhou: "How do you know?"
Chen Yu lowered her voice and said, "Pei Chunli came to the palace to find me early in the morning. Xuanping Hou knew that this spring search was dangerous, so he kept him in the capital. He told me not to come."
Xie Tingzhou's eyes deepened, "He really loves you deeply."
"Now is not the right time to discuss this, you——" Chen Yu suddenly stopped talking and stared at Xie Tingzhou without blinking.
After a moment, she said, "You knew something would happen, so you left me in Shengjing like Marquis Xuanping did. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Xie Tingzhou knew that she was smart and would be able to unravel the mystery as long as she was given a clue.
"I'll send someone to take you back overnight." Xie Tingzhou walked out of the tent.
Shen Yu grabbed him and said, "I won't leave."
Xie Tingzhou paused, "I won't have any worries if you leave."
Chen Yu walked around to him and frowned, "You go to the mountain of tigers even though you know there are tigers there. What are you planning?"
Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes and said, "I'll tell you when we get back."
"I won't leave." Shen Yu looked at him firmly.
Xie Tingzhou closed his eyes and still said firmly: "No, this trip is dangerous and you might lose your life."
"Then I can't leave, I have to stay to protect you." Chen Yu said anxiously.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"No
Afraid." Chen Yu said.
Xie Tingzhou's heart softened. He looked deeply at her face and asked, "What if I die?"
The mere thought of this possibility makes one's heart ache.
Chen Yu thought for a while and said, "If I die, you are not allowed to marry anyone else. If you die, I will avenge you and take you to Hezhou, so that you can watch me eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks even after you die."
Xie Tingzhou's eyes were touched, "Do you know what this means?"
Shen Yu nodded.
Xie Tingzhou's determination finally collapsed, and he laughed, "Remember what you said tonight."
Chen Yu: “Yeah.”
Xie Tingzhou took off the leaves hanging on her head and said softly: "Follow me these few days, never leave my side. I am here, you are here, and I die..."
His eyes suddenly turned cold, "None of us will die."
It was late at night and Xie Tingzhou was not asleep.
He sat on the edge of the couch, looking at Chen Yu's face under the solitary lamp.
His girl is firm and warm, always bringing inspiring strength to people. She never retreats in desperate situations and never gives up until the last moment.
Since he led his troops to Yanliang Pass, Xie Tingzhou had anticipated the outcome, perhaps being imprisoned in a cage for the rest of his life and never being able to return to his homeland.
He had nothing to do, so he accompanied her in investigating cases, and he also asked himself what would happen in the future.
He was ready to accept his fate and had thought about wearing a mask for the rest of his life, living a life of drunkenness and dreams as a prince or a king.
But that day Changliu said something to him. He said he missed home and the grasslands in the spring in the north, which Shiyu must have never seen.
At that moment, Xie Tingzhou was enlightened and realized in an instant that being a prisoner for life was his fate, but it should not be hers.
She should be a girl who is as frivolous as a boy, dressed in furs and riding horses. How could she be trapped in a small world for him?
But if he was asked to let go, he simply couldn't do it.
The only thing is to find a new way out for myself and her.
Because he couldn't wait to marry her.
The next morning, the spring search officially began.
Emperor Tongxu was old and could not play in the arena. Most of the civil servants were not good at riding and shooting, so they accompanied Emperor Tongxu to the main court.
Emperor Tongxu's sons were accompanied by twelve personal guards each, and they checked their horses and equipment before setting off.
Xie Ting Zhou Jian
There are white feathers resting on it. There are too many strangers around. It looks like it is ready to fly, as if it will peck out those prying eyes at the next moment.
Chen Yu was wearing a heroic riding outfit today, standing beside Xie Tingzhou on horseback.
"After we set off, we'll head south." Xie Tingzhou said.
The sun was shining brightly today, and Chen Yu squinted her eyes and looked around. The Baishan Hunting Ground covered a large area, and the dense forest stretched endlessly as far as the eye could see.
"The woods are denser to the south, so Bai Yu may not be able to keep watch."
Xie Tingzhou glanced indifferently at everyone's faces, "It has a way."
"But..." Chen Yu's eyes moved slightly, and the knife at her waist came out, cutting off an arrow that was shot towards Xie Tingzhou.
Shen Yu frowned and looked over.
Crown Prince Li Jincheng was just putting away his bow, and said with a smile, "I said that Ting Zhou was surrounded by many experts, and it turned out to be true."
Xie Tingzhou half-closed his eyes in the sunlight, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is an excellent archer, it's true."
Emperor Tongxu was already disturbed by the incident and said in a deep voice, "Swords and knives have no eyes, how can we play with them?"
Li Jincheng hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Father. It's just a joke. The arrow doesn't have a sword tip, so it can't hurt anyone."
Chen Yu looked down and saw that the arrow really had no tip.
"He is testing you." Chen Yu said calmly, "Until now, I still don't believe that your martial arts are completely useless."
Xie Tingzhou glanced at her, then silently looked away.
Li Jincheng was the crown prince, and he was the first to lead his men into the forest on horseback.
Xie Tingzhou tapped the reins with his fingers, then suddenly kicked the horse's belly and caught up.
"Prince."
Li Jincheng turned around in response, but his pupils suddenly shrank.
There was a "clang" sound of a string being pulled, and a sharp sword came straight towards him.
Li Jincheng forgot to hide in shock.
He wants me to die! Li Jincheng thought so.
Unexpectedly, the arrow hit the ground weakly when it was still two or three meters away from Li Jincheng.
Xie Tingzhou put down his bow and sighed, "How coincidental! The prince's arrows have no tip, and my arrows are weak, so neither can hurt anyone."
Li Jincheng was still in shock. The moment just now seemed to be the closest he had ever been to death in his life.
An idea suddenly occurred to him that even if Xie Tingzhou was disabled, he was still a wolf that could not be provoked.
