Chapter 45: Broken Sleeve
I have walked dozens of meters and there is no one living here.
Chen Yu didn't dare to go too far to avoid any accidents. Although the escorts had been in the martial arts world for many years, they would not be of much use once they faced an assassin, so she couldn't be too far away from Xie Tingzhou.
"Miss He," Shen Yu stopped and said, "There's no one here, let's talk about it here."
He Xuehui turned around and twisted her hands together, "We can enter Shengjing tomorrow."
"Yes," Chen Yu said with a smile, "Thank you all for your help along the way. I will settle the remaining balance with you tomorrow."
He Xuehui frowned and said, "That's not what I wanted to say."
Chen Yu was no longer a little girl, and He Xuehui had a look of spring in her heart, and she knew what was going on at a glance.
But she couldn't say it directly, so she could only wait for He Xuehui to speak herself.
He Xuehui hesitated for a moment before she said, "Has Mr. Shi married yet?"
When she came, Shen Yu sighed in her heart and said, "I haven't married yet."
He Xuehui smiled lightly and turned sideways, "Well, then what do you think of me?"
"Miss He is lively and lovely, and has a kind heart."
Hearing Shi Yu's praise, He Xuehui was delighted and took out something and handed it over, "I showed it to you myself. My needlework is not good, please don't mind, Mr. Shi."
He Xuehui has a carefree personality to begin with, and now it's really difficult for her to pretend to be a lady.
Chen Yu lowered her eyes and saw vaguely in the moonlight that it was a sachet.
"I can't accept this."
He Xuehui's face suddenly fell, "Why?"
Chen Yu said tactfully: "Miss He is very good, but a man should make achievements and establish a career. I have no intention of starting a family at the moment."
"I can wait for you," He Xuehui ignited hope, "I'm still young, we can get engaged first and get married in a few years."
Chen Yu was stunned. Being tactful didn't work, so she had to be more direct.
She cupped her hands and said, "To be honest, Miss, love requires mutual affection. I don't have any such intention towards Miss He."
He Xuehui was stunned and was about to cry, "Do you like those delicate ladies? You dislike people like me who wield swords and guns."
Chen Yu was confused. She herself was an expert at wielding swords and guns, so how could she despise her?
She is not good at coaxing people, so when you go back later, don't let people think that you bullied her.
"Don't cry, what should I tell you?" I couldn't tell her that I was a woman.
He Xuehui held back her tears and said, "I understand."
What do you know?
He Xuehui continued: "I heard them say that you and him, the two of you...are you really gay?"
"…………" Chen Yu opened her mouth for a few breaths, then spoke with difficulty, "…Yes."
"You and he are in love?"
“Yeah…right.”
He Xuehui threw the sachet on Shen Yu's chest, "I don't believe you are gay."
If she didn't cry, Shen Yu would almost cry, "Then how can you believe it?"
"You swear!" He Xuehui said arrogantly.
Chen Yu thought about it. She absolutely could not swear that she and Xie Tingzhou were a couple, but there was still a way out.
She raised her hands. "I swear, I only like men."
He Xuehui looked at him in amazement for a long while, then ran away in shame, covering her face.
Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and walked back slowly, but she didn't see Xie Tingzhou by the campfire.
"Where are the others?" she asked, grabbing an escort.
The escort said, "It seems he went to rest in the carriage."
As expected, Shen Yu saw Xie Tingzhou's figure beside the carriage.
He just glanced at her lightly, lifted the curtain and went in.
Chen Yu felt that the look was unusual, but she didn't quite understand what it meant.
It's midnight.
Perhaps it was because she was homesick, or maybe it was because she was nervous before the storm, Chen Yu couldn't sleep.
The escort who was on night watch roasted some sweet potatoes on the fire and asked her to come over to eat. The three of them sat around the campfire, with snoring sounds coming from all around.
Suddenly, a low sound came from the wind, like the sound of a heavy city gate being opened.
Shen Yu tilted her head to listen, and immediately put her ear to the ground.
The ground was shaking slightly, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.
The torches in the distance stretched out into a fire dragon, rushing rapidly towards this direction.
Chen Yu immediately climbed onto the carriage, and just as she pulled out her knife, she was stopped by Xie Tingzhou.
"It's the wind." Xie Tingzhou said.
Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the carriage. The group of people approached in the blink of an eye.
"Where is His Highness?" Xi Feng asked.
Chen Yu tilted her head towards the carriage, "Inside."
After saying that, she jumped off the carriage and left, leaving the master and servant alone. Since she had to leave early, she had to settle the bill first.
The group of escorts were already stunned.
He was speechless and kept refusing, saying he didn't want any money.
Chen Yu insisted on paying the balance, and when she came back, Xie Tingzhou was already sitting on the horse.
"alright?"
"Okay." Shen Yu nodded.
Chen Yu jumped on the horse, and a group of people rode towards the city gate.
"Wait a minute!"
Everyone reined in their horses and watched the two horses running towards them, one in front and one behind.
He Xuehui stopped nearby and said, "Shi Yu, I have something to tell you."
Shi Yu glanced at Xie Tingzhou. Everyone was waiting for her, so she couldn't delay too long.
"Let's talk about it right here."
He Xuehui lost her previous forced little girl demeanor and spoke very frankly, "Mr. Shi, although you have no intention of me, I still have something to say to you. Your road is difficult, and it is even more difficult after meeting him."
She looked at Xie Tingzhou angrily, and the escort who came to intercept her kept pulling her sleeve anxiously.
He Xuehui shook him off and said to Xie Tingzhou: "Although you are of noble status, you must not abandon Shi Yu after having an affair with her."
Shen Yu just wanted to cover her mouth now. Who knew that He Xuehui was so bold that she dared to say such words to Xie Tingzhou in public.
She gestured to He Xuehui, "Miss He, this idiom cannot be used carelessly."
"Really?" He Xuehui was stunned for a moment, "Then you must not abandon Shi Yu, otherwise..."
"Your Highness!" Chen Yu interrupted quickly and said awkwardly: "Let's go into the city quickly."
Except for Xifeng, all the guards lowered their heads, feeling that they knew something extraordinary.
Xie Tingzhou actually laughed out loud. He lowered his eyes slightly, pulled the reins and circled around He Xuehui, saying, "What will you do if I abandon him after having an affair with him?"
He Xuehui said angrily, "I...I will take him away and make sure you never see him again. I will also find him a few wives."
You shut up! If it weren't for the great revenge that had not been avenged, Shen Yu would only want to swing her sword and kill herself now. She had never lost such a person in her life.
Xie Tingzhou turned his horse's head and said calmly: "He is mine. Whether he gets married or not will be arranged by me. You don't need to worry about it."
After saying this, he kicked the horse's belly, and the guards behind him also left.
Chen Yu cupped her hands towards He Xuehui, "Miss He, you really can't say that."
"I know," He Xuehui said, "I won't tell anyone else."
Xie Tingzhou: "Timely rain!"
"Coming, coming." Chen Yu hurriedly rode his horse to follow.
