Chapter 30 Playing Chess
Xie Tingzhou thought that after his reminder, the rain would definitely stop, but he heard the sound of horse hooves outside the car on time.
Xie Tingzhou lifted the curtain and asked Xifeng: "They said that the escort mission ahead was not within his duties, so why is he still running back and forth?"
Xi Feng accepted Xie Tingzhou's anger innocently and said, "I don't know who he exchanged the patrol mission with, so..."
So she ran back and forth more happily.
Other patrols only take two hours, but she has been running back and forth in the team for half an hour.
Xifeng thought he had never seen a soldier as diligent as Shiyu. He was so diligent that it was a bit annoying.
Xie Tingzhou threw down the curtain, and Xifeng could tell from the force with which he threw the curtain that his master was in a bad mood.
After a while, Xie Tingzhou in the carriage ordered in a deep voice: "Ask him in."
When Chen Yu was on patrol, she passed by the carriage on horseback and was stopped by Xi Feng again.
She was puzzled. She no longer cared about the escort in front. Could it be that she did something to annoy Xie Tingzhou again?
There is already a patrol post in the Imperial Guard, so this is not considered an usurpation of power.
Shen Yu turned over and got off the horse. As soon as she stepped onto the carriage, she held the door and asked in a low voice, "What does Your Highness want to see me about?"
Xifeng said: "You will know when you go in."
The carriage was as warm as spring. Xie Tingzhou was still wearing only one piece of clothing, but it was a dark blue one, which made his skin look even whiter.
There was a faint smell of medicine in the car, and there was some medicine residue at the bottom of the bowl on the table.
Chen Yu recalled the rumor that the reason why Xie Tingzhou, who was like a killing god on the battlefield, became known as Young Master Lan Yue was because his martial arts skills were completely wasted after he was injured and poisoned on the battlefield.
She thought of herself in her previous life and understood that kind of pain.
Practicing martial arts is like building a tall building. There is no shortcut. It is achieved through hard work during the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter.
The sudden collapse of a tall building that had been built for so many years would be a disaster for anyone, let alone someone like Xie Tingzhou.
Chen Yu looked at Xie Tingzhou and unconsciously revealed a sympathetic look.
Xie Tingzhou felt that he looked at him strangely, "Why do you run back and forth every day?"
Shen Yu replied seriously: "I changed my patrol mission."
"I remember the patrol is every two hours?" Xie Tingzhou asked.
Chen Yu raised her eyes and glanced, and found that Xie Tingzhou was looking at her, so she immediately lowered her head, "I... I am more diligent."
diligence?
Xie Tingzhou almost laughed out of anger. He had just taken the medicine and was about to go to sleep when he heard people riding horses back and forth outside.
Everyone knows who it is.
"You are diligent. I'm afraid your horse will regret following the wrong person."
Chen Yu didn't know whether her face was red or not, but she felt a little hot anyway.
In fact, she was not diligent, but she walked too slowly along the way, only thirty miles a day, and the speed was almost the same when carrying a load.
This was too boring and the weather was cold, so she felt like dozing off even on the horse, so she decided to just run back and forth to stay awake.
Whenever she returned to Beijing, she would ride her horse and whip it, feeling very happy.
She also wanted to compete with Shen Zhao. At that time, she and Shen Zhao were running in front, and Shen Zhongan was following behind. From time to time, she could hear her father's hearty laughter.
Thinking of this, Shen Yu felt unbearable pain in her heart. Shen Yan still had her mother, but she would be alone from now on.
After Xie Tingzhou finished speaking, he looked at him, only to find that he was clenching his teeth, his eyes were red, and he looked like he was about to cry.
He didn't say anything, did he? After all, she was still young and thin-skinned. She started to cry when he said something to her.
Xie Tingzhou felt annoyed. The person who dared to turn his face away from him had not been born yet.
"Your Highness asked me to come here. Do you want someone to play chess with you again?" Chen Yu suddenly looked up and asked.
Xie Tingzhou paused for a moment, thinking that he really couldn't sleep now that his nap was disturbed by him, so he might as well play chess to kill time.
He called someone in to clean up the place, and then the two of them washed their hands and started playing chess.
The carriage was very quiet, with only the sound of chess pieces falling. The two of them played for half an hour. Xie Tingzhou glanced casually and found that Shi Yu, who was sitting opposite him, was sweating profusely.
"Are you nervous?"
Chen Yu: “…”
This is fucking hot!
You are only wearing a single piece of clothing, but my cotton jacket gives me heatstroke in winter.
"The heater in your Highness' carriage is burning brightly." Shen Yu hinted.
Xie Tingzhou then noticed that he was still wearing a thin coat, "Then take it off."
Only a fool would be so hard on his own body. Chen Yu quickly took off his outer armor and jacket and put them aside. When he took off his middle clothes, he had already grasped the rope but let go.
She was wearing a bra underneath, and if she took off too little it would be noticeable.
He looked thin to begin with, and looked even smaller without his cotton-padded jacket. His physique was somewhat feminine, and he didn't look like a martial artist.
Xie Tingzhou glanced at it twice and didn't care. The two of them continued playing chess.
When it comes to martial arts, Chen Yu can compete with anyone, but everyone has their own expertise. She has no accomplishments in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can only be said to have touched the edges.
But Xie Tingzhou didn't seem to dislike her. After playing chess that day, he frequently invited her to
He plays chess in the car.
Chen Yu suspected that he was not really good at chess and just liked to bully weak opponents.
When he is in a good mood, Xie Tingzhou will give some advice.
It's no wonder that a good teacher produces good students. After a few days, Shen Yu found that her chess skills seemed to have improved a lot. She also found a lot of fun in playing chess. At least she didn't have to blow the cold wind outside.
In the afternoon, I went to play chess with Xie Tingzhou as usual.
Chen Yu was already familiar with the place. She greeted Xi Feng, got into the carriage and started taking off her clothes until she was left with only her inner and outer garments.
"I will definitely be able to hold on for an hour today." Chen Yu said.
Xie Tingzhou poured tea and said, "If you need to think for a cup of tea to make a move, then you can think for two hours."
Chen Yu could tell that he was mocking her for her poor chess skills, but she had always been strong-willed. The more he said this, the more she determined she was to beat him one day. She studied harder and sometimes asked Xie Tingzhou for advice when she had doubts.
But this ancestor has a strange temper and whether to speak or not depends entirely on his mood.
The carriage continued to move for a while, and Xifeng reported from outside the carriage that the next county town was still more than ten miles away, and at the current speed, it might take until midnight to enter the city.
Only then did Xie Tingzhou notice that it was almost dark.
If they couldn't make it tonight, they would have to stay in this cold wind. Chen Yu knew that considering how extravagant Xie Tingzhou had been during his entire journey, he would definitely not let himself down, so she heard his instructions.
"Let's go into the city first."
The patrol went to the front of the team to report, and the marching speed immediately increased.
Xifeng also changed to riding a horse and followed the side of the carriage.
Chen Yu had been thinking about Huaitang County that Xifeng had just mentioned. Seven or eight miles ahead was Longjing Peak, where there was a steep place with a valley on one side and a river on the other, which was very suitable for an ambush.
A few years ago, a group of bandits appeared there. If people in Beijing wanted to kill them, this place would be the best choice for an ambush.
She was distracted and held the chess piece for a long time without making any move.
“Knock knock—”
Xie Tingzhou tapped the chessboard with two fingers as a reminder, "Focus."
"Your Highness," Chen Yu simply put down the chess piece, "Long Jingfeng ahead is suitable for an ambush, so I have to remind the people in front to be safer." She stopped there.
Xie Tingzhou looked at him for a moment, then lifted the curtain on the car window, and immediately someone rode up.
The speed was not slow at this moment, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard everywhere.
Xie Tingzhou's voice was so low that Shen Yu could not hear it clearly. She only saw him give a few brief instructions and then lower the curtain.
"Go on." He said to Shen Yu.
