Chapter 177 Brother and Sister Meet
Xie Tingzhou opened the door amid her glare and left calmly under the gaze of the guards.
"Did you see the wound on the prince's lip?" One of them raised his chin.
Another said: "Obviously, he forced himself on me."
"So you said it was successful or not?"
"Of course—"
"You two." Chen Yu held the door, "Come here."
The guards hurried over, "Sir."
Shen Yuyu was slightly depressed, "Who let him in?"
The guard said, "Sir, we can't stop him, and we dare not stop him."
"Don't let him come again." Chen Yu closed the door forcefully.
"Of course it didn't work." The guard quietly continued what he hadn't finished saying before, "Look, the master is intact and his clothes are still neatly worn."
…
It had rained intermittently in Shengjing over the past two days. The cobblestone road in the alley had become worn and uneven from being trampled on. The moon was trapped in a puddle of water in the night.
A man in gray was walking in the alley, wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a medicine bag. He walked to the door of his house but did not stop. Instead, he turned at the end of the alley and entered another alley.
He hid in the dark, and when he heard the slightest sound, he attacked the person as fast as lightning.
Just as he was about to hit the man's face, Shen Zhao's expression changed when he saw the man's face. The blade deflected and barely brushed the man's temples, shaving off a few strands of hair.
"Why didn't you hide?!" Shen Zhao was shocked and angry.
He was not wearing a mask tonight. Shen Yu stared at Shen Zhao's face blankly, and two lines of tears rolled down unexpectedly.
"elder brother……"
She wanted to pounce on him, but she was afraid that everything in front of her was just an illusion and would be shattered if she moved.
Shen Zhao sighed, "Let's go inside and talk."
He turned around and went back to the door he had just passed. Before entering, he looked around cautiously and made sure that no one was there before opening the door and going in.
Chen Yu followed closely behind and heard someone talking in the room.
"Is it the master?"
"Yeah." Shen Zhao raised his voice and replied, then said to Shen Yu: "It was Kong Qing. He was injured that night in the palace. We went our separate ways at that time, and he only came back two days ago."
"Go to that room and wait for me." Shen Zhao pointed to a room and put the medicine in after entering.
When I came out, I saw Chen Yu standing at the door with her head down, raising her arms from time to time, wiping her tears silently.
The little girl is still the same, she doesn't know how to speak when she's in pain, she doesn't know how to cry out loud, she can only shed tears silently, keeping her pain to herself
In the heart.
Chen Zhao felt bitter in his heart and said, "Ayu, come here, brother."
He opened his arms.
Chen Yu's mouth drooped, she held back her sobs, and walked over slowly.
Shen Zhao hugged her back and looked up at the bright moon.
The moon is full but the life is not. Now that their father is gone, they are the only siblings left in this world to depend on each other.
It was his brother's fault.
Before his mother passed away, he promised to take good care of his sister, but he made her learn martial arts and let her be exposed to the wind and sun at the border every day.
Before her father passed away, he drugged her and asked the guards to take her away, but she ran back without hesitation and wanted to fight alongside them.
She was only seventeen, and he had left her for such a long time, leaving her alone in this chaos and war.
"Brother is sorry for you." Shen Zhao choked.
He tried to hold it back, but couldn't, and the tears slid down his cheeks and into her hair.
Chen Yu shook her head, "As long as you are alive, I just want you to be alive."
She was not sad. Her heart was filled with relief and joy of reunion, but she couldn't hold back her tears.
Chen Zhao let her tears soak her clothes and patted her back to comfort her as he used to do.
When she stopped sobbing, Shen Zhao let her go, wiped her eyes with his thumb, smiled and said, "Why are you still so crybaby?"
"I seldom cry now." Chen Yu wiped away her tears, "I only cry when I go to see my father."
Shen Zhao ruffled her hair and said, "You've grown taller."
Chen Yu suddenly remembered, "Brother, did you go to visit Dad's grave?"
Shen Zhao went into the room to pour tea, "Yeah, I'm going."
He smiled bitterly, "Living in this world, I have no face to see him, but..."
"No." Chen Yu interrupted him and said seriously: "Dad must want you to live a good life, just an ordinary life."
Chen Zhao handed her the tea, "What about you? Since you know that Dad wants us to live an ordinary life, why do you want to take such a risk?"
Shen Yu pursed her lips, "It's not as dangerous as you think."
"It's not dangerous yet?" Shen Zhao said with a sullen face, "What on earth do you want to do by risking your life and going deep into the Tiger Cave?"
"I want to find out the truth about the defeat at Yanliang Pass and give justice to my father and the 100,000 soldiers."
"This is a man's job. Why are you, a little girl, interfering?" Shen Zhao said.
Chen Yu said: "I am also my father's daughter, and you didn't raise me as a girl."
"You dare to talk back?"
Shrink
He shrank his neck and said cautiously, "Brother, it's almost over."
"Liang Jianfang and Ge Liangji, the two scapegoats, are dead, but the people behind them are still alive and well." Shen Zhao's eyes were sharp, "I have to kill Emperor Tongxu."
Chen Yu said: "I'm afraid this matter is different from what we expected. I originally thought that it was because my father's achievements were greater than his master's, and Emperor Tongxu abandoned him after he had done his job. Later I found that it was not the case. There are too many hidden dangers here."
Shen Zhao looked at her quietly.
In less than a year, she had grown so fast that she could fight with a sword and outsmart civil officials.
He felt relieved, but also heartbroken.
It took Shen Yu a long time to explain the whole story, and Shen Zhao frowned and poured her a glass of water.
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if Emperor Tongxu insisted on protecting the Crown Prince?"
"Then I will do it myself." Chen Yu said: "And..."
She was suddenly stunned.
Shen Zhao looked at her, "What is it?"
"Oh no." Chen Yu stood up quickly, "I forgot there was someone else."
"who?"
"It's Prince Beilin." Chen Yu hurried out of the yard and whispered to the dark alley, "Are you still there? Hello?"
"I thought you had forgotten about me."
Xie Tingzhou walked out of the darkness, lowered his head and approached her face, and asked: "Why are you crying like this? Your eyes are swollen."
He stretched out his hand to touch her, but Chen Yu immediately took a step back to avoid her, glancing back to remind him.
Xie Tingzhou smiled and looked at Shen Zhao who was standing not far behind her, "General Shen, I have long admired you."
"Prince Beilin, I have long heard of your great name."
Chen Yu laughed dryly, "Then, then I don't need to introduce you any further."
Chen Zhao raised his hand, "Prince, please."
Xie Tingzhou glanced at Shen Yu and walked over, "General Shen, don't worry, the surroundings are clear, and no one will eavesdrop."
"The prince has good tactics."
"Thank you."
Chen Yu's eyes moved between the two of them, and she always felt that the atmosphere was a little subtle.
"What are you looking at?" Shen Zhaoxian asked.
Chen Yu said: "Why do you two feel like there is something going on?"
Xie Tingzhou's eyes were complicated. "Who did you learn this poem from? Li Jifeng or Pei Chunli?"
"Isn't that how it's used?" Chen Yu asked blankly, "I mean, you two have a little..."
"That's called tit for tat." Xie Tingzhou reminded her.
