Chapter 210: Sleeping in the Same Bed
Shen Zhao let out a long sigh, "We will eventually get rid of him, but you can't be blinded by hatred and pass their faults onto the people. They have done their best."
"I didn't." Shen Yu retorted.
"Then have you worried about Yanliang Pass this winter?" Shen Zhao asked.
Shen Yu said: "Yanliang Pass is the land of the Zhou Dynasty. Guarding the border is what the court should worry about, not my responsibility."
"Ah Yu, that's not what I meant. I'm not asking you to guard the border for them. I just want you to recognize your own changes."
Shen Zhao put his arm around her shoulder, "Brother is telling you that this is not the fault of the people, nor your fault. I know what you are thinking. You hate them, you hate yourself, and you hate why you couldn't save yourself." Others, so you are avoiding that place. You seem to be calm, but when you punish others, you are also punishing yourself, venting your anger in this way. "
Shen Yu: "I..."
"Let me tell you." Shen Zhao said: "It was too late when we met again. I didn't realize that it was Xie Tingzhou. He knew that he couldn't persuade you on this matter, so let me, who can empathize with you, tell you."
Shen Yu was stunned. Xie Tingzhou had never mentioned this issue to her.
Since he gave it to Yinfeng, he has never stood in her way, he just silently supported her from behind.
Shen Zhao added: "You accepted Xiao Chuan and the soldiers, and also kept Qichang's bandits as backup. You wanted to accumulate more resources and use them to achieve your goal. But what is your goal? You have thought clearly. ?"
Shen Yu frowned, "There is another fish that slipped through the net, Marquis Xuan Ping."
"Can you do it?" Shen Zhao asked.
Shen Yu frowned and thought for a while, "Okay, I owe Pei Chunli a gift, but Marquis Xuanping owes the lives of a hundred thousand soldiers. This is not something I can just write off."
"Anan..." Shen Yu paused and couldn't continue.
"Then let's talk about it. After doing this, what are you going to do?"
Shen Yu said honestly: "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet."
Shen Zhao smiled. Seeing that the girl was smart and capable, she also had a cute side. He wanted to rub her hair, but he was afraid that the girl would be mad at him.
"Then think slowly, there is still time, and move forward boldly. Xie Tingzhou is manipulating you, and he will do whatever you want. But I am different. If you go the wrong way, I will grab you by the hair." Bring you back."
"Don't worry about me all the time. You should worry about yourself."
Shen Yu tapped him on the shoulder with a riding crop, "Look at the time, my sister-in-law is staring at him at home."
When she mentioned this, Shen Zhao felt dizzy.
When we go back later, the two of us will be in the same room. How should we sleep?
Shen Zhao touched the wine bag with her, raised his head and drank the wine, then jumped on the horse first, "Let's go."
A smirk flashed in his eyes, and Shen Zhao raised his whip, but it was Shen Yu's Ben Xiao who was whipped. He pinched the horse's belly, and the two horses rushed out at the same time.
"Auntie, catch up!" Shen Zhao shouted into the wind.
Shen Yu sneered lightly, "Childish."
After saying that, he whistled far away and Ben Xiao immediately turned around when he heard the sound, almost knocking Shen Zhao off his horse.
Yu Wanqiu is still awake at this hour.
During these days of running around, she and Shen Zhao were almost inseparable except for sleeping. They rode together along the way, and they were a little uncomfortable being separated for the first time.
"The city gates should be closed at this time. Are you being blocked from the city?" The maid Ying'er stood at the door and said worriedly.
"No." Yu Wanqiu said, "He said he would come back tonight, and he will definitely come back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the maid's voice sounded from the door of the courtyard, "The young master is back."
Yu Wanqiu stood up quickly, and Shen Zhao was already striding over, throwing the riding whip to the boy beside him.
Before entering the door, he stopped again and said sheepishly: "I, I'm covered in stinky sweat from running, and I'm afraid I'll inflame you. I'll go wash up first before I come back."
"It's okay, come in." Yu Wanqiu said with a smile: "You have drunk, I have prepared a hangover soup, and you don't have to worry about Auntie, I have asked Ying'er to deliver it to Hongqiao so that she can warm it up. ”
Shen Zhao was moved in his heart, "Just let the servants do these things."
Yu Wanqiu said: "It's different. I am also idle when I am idle. I am happy to do these things."
Shen Zhao drank the hangover soup and stood at the door of the bedroom after taking a shower.
The threshold was less than half a foot, but he felt it was higher than the city wall on the border, and he couldn't muster the courage to step in.
Raising his hand and putting it down again, raising his hand and putting it down again, repeated several times, Yu Wanqiu in the room finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Are you going to stand at the door until dawn?"
"No, it's not." Shen Zhao gritted his teeth, took a deep breath and opened the door.
Yu Wanqiu was also nervous. She had taken off her hairpin and was wearing white pajamas, with her black hair hanging loosely behind her.
Shen Zhao's breathing tightened and he swallowed, "You can sleep on the bed, I can sleep on the couch."
The lights in the room went out.
Shen Zhao looked at the bed curtain in the darkness, and all he could think about was the way her silky hair spread behind her.
He closed his eyes tightly, trying to get rid of the lust in his mind, and started thinking about Yanliang Pass again.
But it's weird today, I can't figure out what it looks like there.
Yu Wanqiu couldn't sleep either. Listening to Shen Zhao's tossing and turning, she finally got up from the bed and opened the curtain.
"Is it uncomfortable to sleep on the couch?"
The beauty in Shen Zhao's mind was disturbed, and he subconsciously replied: "Uh, yes."
Yu Wanqiu smiled slightly and said sheepishly: "Then... come to bed and sleep."
Shen Zhao didn't remember how he got to the bed.
Perhaps his reason prevailed, and his body was dominated by instinct, so he lay down where Yu Wanqiu had been before.
They each had a quilt, and Yu Wanqiu had already fallen asleep.
Shen Zhao was smug about being so close, but he also despised himself.
He thought about how he had righteously accused Xie Tingzhou in the past, so what was the difference between him and Xie Tingzhou now?
It turned out that everyone was like this, and they wanted to get close to each other when they liked each other, and he was no more upright than Xie Tingzhou.
