Chapter 32 Cut Him Down

With a splash, the two fell into the water at the same time.

The biting cold came, bringing with it those memories that I didn’t want to dream back to at midnight.

Shen Yu seemed to have seen such a scene again.

Heavy snow, icy lake, Jiang Lianzhi, Lin Qingli, and the calls for help and cheers on the shore...

Her body seemed unable to move, trapped by memories of the past. It turned out that the fear of death was never far away, but was silent in the deepest part of her body.

The shadow of drowning in her previous life shrouded her again.

She could only let herself sink in the cold water.

Suddenly, the sinking stopped, and someone grabbed her wrist and led her upward.

She didn't know what she was doing and was completely at the mercy of others.

Xie Tingzhou dragged Shi Yu like a corpse, and the two of them were swept downstream by the rushing river.

He didn't know how long it had been drifting, until he reached a gentler area with a smaller terrain difference, and then he dragged the person ashore.

Then he put the person on the ground and fell on the river bank.

Xie Tingzhou kept pulling him in the water, and had to stabilize his body in the rapids to avoid being hit by the current against the rocks.

Even if he didn't die on the battlefield, if he died in the river or was knocked down by someone, it would be a big shame. It is estimated that there will still be legends about them in a hundred years.

Xie Tingzhou turned her head and looked at the person beside her. He was lying on his back, his whole body soaked in water. His face was white and her lips were purple from the cold, but she was obviously still conscious, and her eyes kept rolling under her closed eyelids. Moving.

Xie Tingzhou rested for a while, stood up, and patted his face, "Shigure, Shigure."

"Ahem—" Shen Yu suddenly tilted her head and spat out a mouthful of water.

Unfortunately, the side she preferred was Xie Tingzhou, and she happened to vomit on him.

What Shen Yu saw when she opened her eyes was Xie Tingzhou's cold face, as if he wanted to kill her.

She rolled her eyes, realizing what she had just done.

It's okay, she comforted herself.

Isn't he the Prince of Beilin?

Isn't it someone who can command hundreds of thousands of soldiers?

Didn't you just vomit on him?

She sat up slowly, patted the place where she vomited and found that it couldn't be wiped clean. She said, "It's soaked in."

Xie Tingzhou: "..."

Shen Yu looked at his expression and explained: "The water I vomited was from the river. It's the same as the water on your body. It's not dirty."

"Why don't you just go down and let it flow for a while, then it will be fine." She added.

Xie Tingzhou was speechless for the first time.

He stood up, shook his clothes, casually washed the sleeve that Shen Yu had vomited on in the river, and then rolled up the other sleeve.

There was a knife wound diagonally on the forearm. The wound was about two inches long, not deep, and no longer bleeding. However, the edge of the knife edge was white and swollen from the river water, making it look very hideous.

"When did Your Highness get injured?"

Shen Yu clearly remembered that he was sitting upright in the carriage and was only responsible for driving the carriage. She wielded the knife with great force, and she wiped out everyone around him, protecting him tightly.

She was sure that not even a mosquito could fly over at that time, so where did his injury come from?

Ever since she asked this question, she could see Xie Tingzhou's speechless expression getting even worse.

Xie Tingzhou glanced at her right hand, where she held the knife that she was not willing to throw away after being rushed down all the way.

Just hold it, but her whole body was bumping along with the river like a corpse.

This wound was caused accidentally by a knife in the water. He was lucky if he was not hacked to death by her in the water.

Shen Yu lowered her head and looked at the knife in her hand, and asked with some uncertainty: "Did... I cut it?"

"No, I had to put my arm on your knife in the water."

Xie Tingzhou had a sullen face, tore off a piece of clothing and slowly wrapped it around the wound.

But how to tie a knot with one hand has become a problem.

Shen Yu couldn't tell that his words were ironic. She felt a little guilty and slowly said, "I, I'll do it."

Xie Tingzhou did not refuse. After she tied the cloth, she stood up and said, "I have to find a place to stay."

The night wind was very cold and the wet clothes stuck to her body. Shen Yu couldn't help but shiver.

There was snow on all sides, illuminated by the moonlight.

The two of them walked forward under the moonlight, Shen Yu silently followed behind Xie Tingzhou, and the only sound everywhere was the sound of footsteps in the snow.

There was no one around, and it was such a quiet night.

After Xie Tingzhou walked for a while, he felt dizzy and his steps became heavier and heavier. He knew what this was a sign.

The poison that year failed to kill him, but it still planted hidden dangers in his body.

The remaining poison cannot be removed completely, it is dormant in his body, waiting for an opportunity to act, just waiting for him to relax and then come out to do evil.

I was sick a few days ago, and I took the last dose of medicine today. I was about to recover, but I fell into the water again.

The high fever made him a little confused, but he knew he couldn't faint, otherwise if the gangsters came after him, Shigure might not be able to deal with it as if he was dragging a corpse alone.

And there is another possibility that Shigure simply abandoned him in order to escape. Although he knew that this possibility was slim, he didn't know where such certainty came from. He seemed to have an inexplicable trust in Shigure.

"Are you afraid of water?" Xie Tingzhou suddenly said. He was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on if he didn't find something to cheer him up.

He discovered it when he fell into the water. It was as if this man's soul had been sucked out as soon as he hit the water.

The footsteps behind him suddenly stopped. Xie Tingzhou turned around and saw Shigure only paused for a moment before following him.

Shen Yu stared at the ground, "I fell into the water before, and it was also on such a cold winter day, so I was a little scared when I encountered water."

Xie Tingzhou asked: "Why don't you learn to swim?"

"Not in time." She came to the border a few days after her rebirth, and she didn't have time to learn at all.

This answer sounded perfunctory to Xie Tingzhou.

The battle of Yanliang Pass was still in September. She said that such a cold winter day must have been last year. There were so many months to learn, but she said that she didn't have time.

Everyone has their own unknown things, and Xie Tingzhou didn't want to pry into other people's privacy.

"There is a quiet lake in the fiefdom of Beilin, not far from the palace. I learned to swim there when I was young..." He suddenly stopped, because he didn't know why he told him this.

Maybe he was sick, so his defense was also lowered.

He added, "Learn in Shengjing in the summer. Feng Yang in my mansion is good at water, so you can let him teach you."

In the summer, Shen Yu chewed the two words in his mouth.

So he meant that he couldn't return to his fiefdom in the summer. Could it be that the defeat at Yanliang Pass couldn't be resolved in the summer?

Shen Yu asked her doubts.

Xie Tingzhou said with all his strength: "The case of the defeat will be closed quickly, do you believe it? No matter who is behind it, they are eager to drag someone out to take the blame as soon as possible to avoid digging deeper and deeper."

Shen Yu suddenly thought of Liang Jianfang. She didn't know if he had been silenced. If Liang Jianfang was dead, then this matter would be difficult to handle.
