Chapter 224 Blow

The smile on Shen Yu's face was shallow but gentle.

Xie Tingzhou's eyes became hotter and hotter, and his palms rubbed and caressed the back of her waist.

She has practiced martial arts all year round, and her body lines are well-proportioned and smooth, with a softness unique to women.

Xie Tingzhou's breathing became heavier, he grabbed her waist and pushed forward, raising his chin to touch her lips.

"hiss--"

"Are you okay?" Shen Yu asked quickly.

Xie Tingzhou closed his eyes tightly. Just now he moved too much, and Shen Yu's disguised hand hit his eyes.

"Does it hurt?" Shen Yu said nervously: "Let me see."

Xie Tingzhou closed his eyes gently for a while before opening them. His eyes were filled with thick water vapor, and the corner of one eye was a little red.

It was the first time that Shen Yu saw him with tears in his eyelashes, and he looked up again.

She couldn't help but laugh, caressed his face and said, "Why are you so pitiful?"

In front of her, Xie Tingzhou always had the temperament to climb along the pole. If there were steps, he would get down. If there were no steps, he would make steps.

When she said this now, he became excited.

"Yeah." Xie Tingzhou blinked innocently, "It hurts, please blow on me."

Shen Yu leaned over, and Xie Tingzhou stared at her for a moment, and grabbed the back of her neck when she was about to approach.

Shen Yu reacted quickly, turned her head away with her neck stiff, and said "Hmm~" unhappily.

Xie Tingzhou was worried that he would hurt her neck by squeezing her neck, so he did not dare to use force. He only said, "I am so pitiful, why can't I even kiss her?"

Shen Yu looked at his face and said, "It's too ugly, I can't kiss him."

Xie Tingzhou was startled and asked, "Is there a mirror?"

Shen Yu handed him a small mirror. Xie Tingzhou glanced at himself in the mirror and almost didn't recognize it. He turned the mirror over and turned it around without even looking.

Shen Yu held back her laughter, "You just have to bear with it, I don't like others looking at you all the time, so no one will look at you."

"It's more like this." Xie Tingzhou gritted his teeth and said, "It's so ugly."

"I didn't expect that His Royal Highness also loves beauty."

Xie Tingzhou chuckled, "At least you can make it look normal, it's so ugly that it's eye-catching."

Shen Yu tore off a piece of the eyebrow bone that was too high for him and made some adjustments, barely satisfying him.

Xie Tingzhou stood up and said, "Sit down."

"what?"

"I don't like others looking at you either." Xie Tingzhou said.

Shen Yu sat in front of him, raised her head and asked, "How do you want to give me -"

Xie Tingzhou trapped her forcefully in front of him, lowered his head and kissed her lips.

The kiss wasn't intense, but it was very long. Xi Feng coughed a few times and urged her outside at the risk of losing her head.

Changliu blinked and looked at Xifeng, "Brother Feng, is your throat uncomfortable?"

Xifeng glanced at him and said bravely: "Your Highness, it's getting late."

Xie Tingzhou left Shen Yu's lips, their noses touched, their breathing slowed down, and he turned his head and said, "I know."

Xie Tingzhou didn't know how to disguise herself at all. It was Shen Yu who had tidied things up herself. She wasn't as black as before. This time it was almost impossible to see her original appearance, and she was only 30-40% similar to herself.

The two walked out of the tent.

Changliu looked at the two of them and asked blankly: "Prince? Crown Princess?"

Shen Yu nodded, "Let's go,"

The route they planned for this trip was to detour from Yongzhou to Pingzhou and return to Beilin.

They just passed Jiangzhou two days ago, and if they work harder, they will be able to reach Yongzhou.

The group of people walked not slowly. After running for five or six days, they were approaching Yongzhou.

Since entering Yongzhou, the deeper we go, the heavier we feel.

Changliu ran back and forth, pulled the reins and approached Shen Yu, asking: "Prince Princess, why are these deserted lands uncultivated? I saw a lot of refugees on Mingming Road."

Shen Yu didn't speak, just sighed softly.

Xie Tingzhou looked coldly and said: "A harsh government is stronger than a tiger. Perhaps in the eyes of the refugees, escaping from famine is better than farming."

"How can it be better than farming?" Changliu didn't understand. "Farming can at least support yourself."

Xi Feng rubbed Chang Liu's head, "The exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are too heavy. After paying the taxes, you won't be able to eat, and you have to work hard for a year. Who would be happy?"

"Hmph." Changliu was furious, "The prefect of Yongzhou is too bad."

Xifeng "tsk" shook his head and did not continue to explain.

It was getting dark, and there was no village or shop here, so we had to sleep outside.

Besides, with their current status, it would be difficult to enter even if there was a city.

A guard who was exploring the road rode back from the front, "Your Majesty, it's getting dark, shall we camp out in front?"

"Let's drive another ten miles." Xie Tingzhou said.

When the team stopped, it was already dark. The guards skillfully burned wood and made a fire, and formed a circle. They also left someone to keep watch nearby.

Not long after everyone stopped, the guard on guard ran back and approached the carriage.

"The Crown Prince, Crown Princess, another group of people are approaching here. Judging from the number of torches, there are quite a few people, about twenty people."

The car curtain opened a little.

Xie Tingzhou said: "There is nothing to fear from the twenty or so people. Don't take any action yet, just act according to the opportunity."

The guards finished their food quickly, and each of them was at least 200% alert, paying attention to the movement coming from the way.

The sound of horse hooves and the churning of wheels gradually came closer, and there was a loud voice in the middle.

"There are really people. I told you to hurry up and hurry up. If you don't listen, look, the place where we rested before has been occupied by others."

Shen Yu felt that the voice sounded familiar. She searched her mind but couldn't remember it, so she lifted the curtain and looked.

Xie Tingzhou leaned against her, looked at her for a moment and said, "It's your old acquaintance."

Xie Tingzhou's words were purely sour.

The person who came was not familiar, but they had been together for some time and helped Shen Yu with things. It was He Xuehui, the eldest lady of Wantong Escort Agency who escorted them to Beijing last year and confessed to Shen Yu.

He Xuehui escorted the two to Beijing and knew their identities that night outside Shengjing City. Later, Shen Yu asked He Xuehui to pick up Lu Yao and bring him back to Beijing.

"What should I do?" Shen Yu asked, "I'm afraid my whereabouts will be exposed."

Xie Tingzhou looked at her, "Did you look in the mirror?"

Shen Yu touched her face and remembered that they were in disguise.

The people from the escort agency did not get too close. They were about ten meters away and looked at the people around the campfire vigilantly.

It can be seen that this group of people are well-trained. Each of them has a weapon on his waist, and his eyes did not move at all when they arrived.
