Chapter 74 Connivance
Chen Yu raised her eyes to look at him. The chess pieces in her hand were almost crushed by her. Finally, she threw them directly on the chessboard and said, "I don't want to play anymore."
The smile on Xie Tingzhou's face finally faded away, like a warm spring breeze.
He patiently picked up the last few moves from the board, pointed at one spot with his slender fingers, "Did you see it?"
Shen Yu nodded, "I made a mistake here."
Xie Tingzhou spread out his hands, with a few white pieces in his hand, which meant to give her a chance to continue from where she was just now.
“How can this be possible!” Chang Liu roared, “Mmmmmm——”
Before he could finish the second half of the sentence, Xifeng covered his mouth and dragged him to the corridor, signaling him to watch with his eyes.
Changliu took a closer look and saw that the prince's expression was unusually gentle and relaxed, and even looked a bit indulgent.
After that, Chang Liu complained in a low voice, "Your Highness, if you let me win like this, I will definitely lose this game."
"More than that." Xi Feng stood aside with his sword in his arms, and said calmly, "We can't win."
Chen Yu struggled to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth and grabbed the white piece from Xie Tingzhou's palm.
The fingertips gently stroked the palm of my hand, and the tingling feeling spread to the entire arm.
Xie Tingzhou's eyes flashed slightly, and his gaze swept across his palm, then he slowly clenched his fist and placed it on the table.
There was suddenly a noise outside the yard.
Without even looking up, Xie Tingzhou ordered, "Go and have a look."
Xifeng raised his foot and walked away.
A moment later, Li Jifeng arrived before he even showed up. "I had a stomachache a few days ago, and you didn't even bother to come and see me. It's really disappointing."
Shen Yu looked back, and Xie Tingzhou knocked on the table to remind her, "Concentrate."
Chen Yu: “Oh.”
Li Jifeng snorted, "This prince came to see you, and it would be fine if you didn't welcome me, but you didn't even give me a chair."
Chen Yu just knew that he was the prince and wanted to stand up to salute. As soon as she made a move, she heard Xie Tingzhou say without even raising his head: "Just sit down."
He added: "He is ninth."
Chen Yu nodded and greeted, "Meet His Majesty the Ninth Prince."
"No need to be polite." Li Jifeng waved his hand casually and turned to ask, "Who is this master?"
The implication of his words could make Xie Tingzhou act like this. If he was not a master, why would Xie Tingzhou be so serious?
Chang Liu covered his mouth and laughed, "It's our Master Shi Yu."
When Li Jifeng heard this, he immediately became excited.
God, walked around Xie Tingzhou and stared at Shi Yu.
Speaking of which, Li Jifeng had seen Shi Yu before, but the light in the prison was too dim and he couldn't see clearly. Now, he saw that she was really beautiful with red lips, white teeth, eyebrows and clear eyes. If she changed into women's clothes, it would be interesting in the room.
Thinking of this, Li Jifeng quickly shook his head and put aside these messy thoughts, and sat down on the chair brought by the maid.
Li Jifeng: "Stop the boat..."
"Watch chess without talking." Xie Tingzhou reminded.
Li Jifeng closed his mouth uncomfortably, he was not interested in these elegant things and found them extremely boring, so he crossed his legs and called the maid to bring tea and snacks, and ate while watching.
This sight was so shocking that his eyes almost popped out.
In the past, when he watched people play chess, it was just a back and forth movement. But now, watching Xie Tingzhou play chess really overturned his previous stereotype of chess.
Can playing chess be like flirting?
When Shi Yu dropped a piece, he would secretly pick it back if he felt it was not right, or he would lightly hook his little finger when dropping a piece and steal Xie Tingzhou's piece back.
Although Xie Tingzhou clearly saw it, he acted as if he was blind and let Shi Yu do whatever he wanted.
Li Jifeng turned to look at Chang Liu in astonishment and asked silently: "What's going on?"
Chang Liu nodded heavily and responded silently, "It has always been like this."
Li Jifeng couldn't help but look at Shi Yu a few more times. It was really not easy for this man to smooth down Xie Tingzhou.
As he was looking at it intently, something cold suddenly hit his eyelids.
"ah--"
Li Jifeng cried out in pain and quickly covered his eyes. He looked down and saw a black dot. Xie Tingzhou didn't even have time to take his hand back.
"Xie Yun, what are you doing? Will you compensate me if I go blind?"
Xie Tingzhou raised his chin and pointed at Chen Yu, saying, "Let her give it, she has money."
Chen Yu was surprised and asked, "I didn't beat him, why should I give it to you?"
Xie Tingzhou's eyes seemed to have deep meaning, "Don't you like to rob the rich and give to the poor?"
Chen Yu heard his sarcasm. It was that time on the road when Chen Yu said that she robbed the rich to help the poor, and this man actually remembered it.
"You're not poor," she whispered.
The more Li Jifeng watched, the more he felt that the way the two got along was unusual: one was silently indulging, the other was feeling at ease.
I couldn't help but sigh that Xie Tingzhou had come to this day.
…
In the afternoon, Shen Yu changed shifts with the guards and went out. Today was the third day since Shen Yu went to the Shen Mansion, and she had to go to Shen Yan to ask for someone.
There was a man standing at the base of the wall outside the east gate, rubbing his hands and looking very anxious.
The man who came was a clerk from the clothing shop. When he saw Chen Yu, he came up to her. Chen Yu gave him a look, and the two of them walked around the street corner.
The waiter then said, "I have been waiting for a long time. The shopkeeper said he has something important to discuss with you."
"What's up?"
"This morning, a servant from the Shen residence came to deliver a letter."
Most likely it was related to the whereabouts of Green Medicine, Chen Yu thought, so she and her assistant quickened their pace and rushed to the clothing shop.
Just as I reached the door of an inn, a young man in brocade clothes rode his horse and rushed over from the other end of the long street.
The horse rushed forward recklessly, and pedestrians on the road tried to avoid it, but the horse still knocked over several stalls and pedestrians.
The man was still shouting, "Get out of my way."
Chen Yu frowned and was about to step forward, but was stopped by the clerk in the clothing shop.
The waiter lowered his voice and said, "This is Dou Qing, the son of the Dou family. He is a well-known tyrant and has connections above him. I have nothing to say, so you better not interfere."
Seeing Dou Qing getting closer and closer, he was about to hit the child in the middle of the road who was unable to dodge.
Chen Yu immediately rushed forward, and when she passed the horse, she took off the sword at her waist and slashed across.
The horse's hoof was tripped hard, and its front hooves bent and it fell to the ground.
Dou Qing was thrown out immediately. After rolling on the ground for a week, he got up and wiped his face. Blood was already flowing from the abrasion on his face.
Dou Qing roared, "Who the hell are you? How dare you block my way!"
Shen Yu helped the frightened child up and turned to look at Dou Qing: "It's not blocking the road, it's just saving people."
The child's mother hurried forward and took the child away from Shen Yu. Not daring to offend this bully, she quickly hid in the crowd of onlookers.
Dou Qing glanced at the horse kneeling on the ground, flicked his whip and said, "I don't care what you do. If you block my way, chop my horse, or hurt me, you won't see the sun tomorrow."
Chen Yu sneered, as if she had heard a joke, and turned and left.
Dou Qing was so angry that he swung the whip, but Chen Yu grabbed the tail of the whip, wrapped it around her wrist twice, and pulled it hard.
Dou Qing didn't expect that this seemingly thin boy had such strength. He was almost pulled down by him and quickly let go.
