Chapter 28: Bewitched
As soon as Chen Yu returned to the wounded camp, she was called away by the guards.
Before leaving, he specifically told You Dazui not to spread the news of today's competition in the wounded soldiers' camp.
This was not the first time that Chen Yu had entered the tiger tent, but this time meeting Xie Tingzhou was particularly crucial because it was related to whether she could stay with Xie Tingzhou.
He could join Qingyun Guard by following Chang Heng, but Xie Tingzhou would be going to Beijing soon. If Qingyun Guard followed him to Beijing, they would easily accuse Xie Tingzhou of forcing the emperor to abdicate.
Therefore, Qingyunwei will most likely return to Beilin. If she doesn't stay with Xie Tingzhou, she will not be able to find out the truth behind this defeat.
Her father, brother, and 100,000 soldiers could not have died in vain. She wanted the manipulator behind the scenes to pay with blood.
Before entering the tent, she took a deep breath, opened the curtain and walked in.
"Your Highness." Shen Yu clasped his fists and saluted.
Xie Tingzhou was cleaning his knife. Hearing the voice, he said, "Sit down."
Chen Yu picked a chair that was neither too far nor too close and sat down, watching Xie Tingzhou wipe the knife.
The knife was already shiny, and the blade was flashing with cold light. I didn't know what he was wiping. The deerskin slowly wiped over the blade. The color of the knife was very strange, reddish, as if it was soaked in blood.
After Xie Tingzhou finished wiping it, he threw the deerskin on the table, glanced at the blade, and asked, "What do you think of this knife?"
He threw the knife to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu quickly caught it. The knife was light in her hand. She looked it up and down and admired it from the bottom of her heart.
“Nice knife.”
If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. She has been fond of martial arts since she was a child, so she is naturally more interested in weapons.
She had seen a lot of good things, but this knife made her unable to take her eyes off.
"Is this 'Yi Jing Shuang'?" Chen Yu asked.
Xie Tingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, "You also know Yi Jingshuang?"
Chen Yu nodded, "Of course I know. I've heard storytellers say that a knife passes without shedding blood."
Xie Tingzhou chuckled, "Exaggeration, Yi Jingshuang is actually a sword."
Shen Yu was surprised.
Rumor has it that the weapon of Beilin Prince Xie Tingzhou is called "Yi Jing Shuang", a bloodless weapon that kills people, but it is also
It only exists in legends because he stopped using the blade after he was injured on the battlefield.
Chen Yu felt it was a pity that she had never seen the legendary Yi Jingshuang's elegance.
She placed the knife on the table and said sternly, "What does His Royal Highness want me to do?"
Xie Tingzhou looked at her and said, "I thought you should know clearly."
Shen Yu's heart skipped a beat, "I don't understand what Your Highness means?"
Xie Tingzhou put the knife into the sheath and continued: "You want to stay with me, I will grant you your wish."
Shen Yu tightened her fingers, then slowly loosened them, "Why do you say that, Your Highness?"
"Don't act stupid in front of me," Xie Tingzhou stared into her eyes, "Shi Yu, I like smart people."
That feeling came back again, the feeling of being seen through.
The excuse she had prepared got stuck in her throat. She smiled slightly and gave up struggling. "Your Highness is really perceptive. I will thank Your Highness for your help."
Xie Tingzhou crossed his fingers and placed them in front of him. "Why don't you tell me what you want by trying so hard to stay by my side? I'll give it to you."
Saying such words with such a face is tempting and seductive.
As if to say, what do you want? Tell me, I'll give it to you.
Shen Yu stared at him and thought, he is indeed a monster.
She said calmly, "Of course I want to pursue a better future. It's better to be with His Highness than to be under General Chang's command."
Xie Tingzhou stared at her for a while, then called out, "Xi Feng."
Xifeng lifted the curtain and came in, "Your Highness."
"Starting today, Shi Yu will be transferred to the Imperial Guard." Xie Tingzhou said.
Xi Feng glanced at Chen Yu and didn't dare to ask more: "Yes."
Xifeng took Chen Yu away, and within a day, the news spread throughout the camp.
Chang Heng, who heard the news, came to complain, "It was obviously me who fell in love with her first, how could Your Highness come to snatch her from me? This is bullying, I remember Your Highness once warned us not to do such a thing."
Xie Tingzhou smiled and said, "He doesn't like you, what can I do?"
As long as it does not involve
When it comes to business, Xie Tingzhou is quite easy-going towards his subordinates and will even joke around when he's in a good mood, like now.
Chang Heng said, "He doesn't like me? I'm not attracted to men, so why would I need him to like me?"
Xie Tingzhou was in a good mood for a rare time, and patiently reminded him, "He has offended Qingyun Guards today. What will be the consequences if we put him in there?"
Chang Heng thought about it and said, "It's like pouring water into oil."
This was also a problem he had been thinking about for a long time but could not solve.
In the battle on the ring, the young man behaved arrogantly and trampled on the glory of Qingyunwei. Once such a grudge is formed, it is difficult to resolve.
Xie Tingzhou nodded, "You have taken good care of him, he must have known that you wanted to recruit him into the Qingyun Guard, so he might as well offend the Qingyun Guard completely, so you can't let him in anymore."
Chang Heng suddenly realized, "This guy really doesn't like me? Why? What's wrong with me, Chang Heng?"
Xi Feng smiled and continued, "Didn't you just say that you don't like men?"
Chang Heng looked at Xie Tingzhou and said, "He just wants to stay with Your Highness. I am convinced that he lost to Your Highness, but such a person must have something to ask for. Your Highness should be careful."
Xie Tingzhou never worried about conspiracies because he grew up in an environment of conspiracies, and those intrigues and deceptions shaped him.
He likes challenges and likes to be tamed. He has been keeping a low profile in the past few years and his life has been too dull. Suddenly, such an interesting person appears, and this trip to Yanliang Pass is not in vain.
It is more interesting to keep people under your nose.
Thinking of this, Xie Tingzhou looked up at the sky and asked, "Where are Changliu and the others?"
Xifeng replied, "We have just passed Suizhou. If we travel day and night, we should be able to reach Shengjing within five days."
Xie Tingzhou said with a smile: "He likes to play a lot, I'm afraid he won't be here until the end of the month."
…
Two imperial edicts were issued in succession from the capital. When the newly appointed governor of Ganzhou arrived at Yanliang Pass with the last imperial edict, all matters here had just been arranged.
It was not until December of the seventeenth year of Tongxu that Xie Tingzhou brought several important criminals related to the defeat at Yanliang Pass to the capital.
