Chapter 173 Brother
Shunshou was a little embarrassed, "This... the master has ordered..."
"My orders are not orders anymore?" Chen Yu raised her eyelids and looked over.
Shunshou only felt that he looked exactly like the Crown Prince, and there was an invisible power in his eyes.
Chen Yu said, "Don't go and complain. Just tell them that there is an assassin in the palace and I won't be back for the next few days."
Shunshou was in a dilemma when she asked, "Did you understand everything?"
"I understand, I understand." Shunshou nodded quickly and took Longcui out.
The room fell silent.
Only then did Shen Yu have time to review what happened tonight.
From beginning to end, she never saw the assassin's face, only a fleeting glimpse of that move, and the movement was too similar to Shen Zhao's style of play.
And when she was about to fall, the man grabbed her, which deepened her suspicion.
If they were not acquaintances, how could he have helped at the critical moment? Delaying that moment was enough for him to run further, but he chose to hold her.
Chen Yu opened the door and walked out, "Any news about the assassin?"
The guard on duty replied: "Not yet."
Chen Yu nodded, that’s good.
She couldn't leave the palace now. First, she didn't want Xie Tingzhou to find out that she was injured. Second, she wanted to stay in the palace so that she could be the first to know about the assassin.
If it's really my brother.
Shen Yu's heart was beating wildly. If that was true, that would be great.
…
I don't know when the moon hid behind the clouds.
The night was dark and limitless.
The three men in black separated in the dark alley. The tallest one stood there without moving. He looked back in the direction of the palace wall, then slowly walked into the night.
The alley twists and turns, and at the end, facing the river, there is an inconspicuous house with three small rooms and a small courtyard.
The man in black walked to the door, but suddenly stopped.
The light is on in the room!
He stood at the door for a long time, mustered up his courage, and then pushed open the gate.
I thought I would see a shadow reflected on the doors and windows, but I saw a person sitting under the eaves, leaning against a pillar and sleeping.
He stared blankly for a long while before slowly pulling off the veil, revealing a handsome and extraordinary face.
He slowly approached, squatted in front of the person, looked at her face, and called her gently, "Night
Autumn. "
Yu Wanqiu was just very sleepy and wanted to take a nap. She opened her eyes when she heard the voice and saw that he was wearing night clothes. She tacitly did not ask the reason.
Just said: "You are back, Shen Zhao, you, you are not hurt?"
"No."
Shen Zhao didn't miss the joy and relief in her eyes, and asked her: "Why are you sleeping here? Isn't it cold?"
"It's not cold, I brought you some food," Yu Wanqiu laughed. When she stood up, her legs felt numb and Shen Zhao held her up with his hand.
"It's not easy to come out, right?"
"I have bribed the servants at the back door, and I just need to go back before dawn." Yu Wanqiu said.
Chen Zhao held her arm and didn't want to let go, but he said, "You don't have to come to me all the time. I have everything I need."
Yu Wanqiu seemed to have not heard his refusal, and continued, "You didn't tell me what you like to eat, I just made it up."
"You did it yourself?"
"Hmm." Yu Wanqiu said, "Try it. If you don't like it, I'll make something else next time."
Shen Zhao's throat was very sore.
She was such a delicate young lady who had never done housework, but she cooked for him personally. What was in her heart? Was there anything unclear?
Shen Zhao let go of his hand and walked into the house without saying a word.
Yu Wanqiu touched the bowl and found that it was cold. "I'll go heat it up. It's not good to eat something cold in the middle of the night."
"No need." Chen Zhao pressed her arm lightly and buried his head in eating.
Yu Wanqiu looked at him quietly with a gentle smile on her face, as if she would be satisfied just by looking at him quietly like this.
Shen Zhao cleared all the food on the table.
He had a big appetite when he was in the military camp, unlike Ayu, who ate like bird food. He used to laugh at her for eating too little and not growing tall.
"Today..." Shen Zhao put down his bowl and chopsticks and said in a low voice: "I saw Ayu."
Yu Wanqiu asked: "Is she okay?"
Shen Zhao frowned, "I fought with her, and her Kung Fu has improved."
"It's a good thing to make progress," said Yu Wanqiu.
Shen Zhao glanced at her sideways, but couldn't say anything.
How can I tell her that Kung Fu is not just about hard practice, but about surviving in actual combat and fighting to achieve breakthroughs.
He didn't know how much suffering Ayu had gone through these days.
, can it transform into what it is today.
As a brother, he was heartbroken that he couldn't protect her.
"She became the Du Yu Hou." Chen Zhao said dejectedly, "I only heard that there was a Du Yu Hou of Shi Yu, but I was not sure it was her at first."
Yu Wanqiu curled her fingers, mustered up the courage to hold his hand, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Ayu has been different from other girls since she was a child. She has come this far, so she must have her own plans."
Shen Zhao could feel Yu Wanqiu's hands trembling slightly.
She was afraid that he would push her away and reject her, but how could he bear to do that?
He can't give anything now.
With her great revenge yet to be taken, she feels like she is walking on the edge of a knife every day. How could he bear to drag a clean girl into the chaos?
Chen Zhao looked at the back of her slender hand. He didn't shake it, but he was not willing to pull his hand away either.
His reunion with Yu Wanqiu began more than a month ago.
In the battle of Yanliang Pass, he fought until the last moment. When he fell, he thought that he had not let down the Great Zhou in this life, but in the end, it was the Great Zhou that let him down.
Before closing his eyes, he had three wishes: one was that A-yu would be safe in this life, two was that he would not be a member of the Great Zhou in the next life, and three was that he would always be with her in the next life.
But he was not dead. He was taken away from the pile of corpses by the guard Kong Qing.
He went back and forth between the gates of hell and was finally pulled back by force. Only then did he hear that his father and A-yu were both dead.
He hated it. Why was he the one left behind?
He wanted to commit suicide countless times, but was kept alive by the deep hatred in his bones.
How could he be qualified to go down and see his father and A-yu when his great revenge had not yet been taken?
Shen Zhao had been recuperating from his injuries for several months and had just set out for Beijing more than a month ago. On his way back to Beijing, he happened to meet Yu Wanqiu who was besieged by refugees.
Only then did he know that after the defeat at Yanliang Pass, Yu Wanqiu had set out from Shengjing to Yanliang Pass.
She didn't believe he was dead and searched for him at the border for months.
Later, her hopes were dashed and she fell seriously ill. She recovered and returned to Beijing from the border at the end of March.
Chen Zhao only knew that he owed her one more person in this life.
"Don't worry too much." Yu Wanqiu spoke up and brought him back to his senses.
"I have to worry." Shen Zhao said, "She has been strong-willed since she was a child. She took the risk to enter the palace just to seek revenge. The Shen family is not extinct yet, and I am her brother. It is not her turn to take risks."
