Chapter 45: The Broken Sleeve

We have walked dozens of meters, and there is no one here.

Shen Yu did not dare to walk too far to avoid accidents. Although the escorts have been in the martial arts world for many years, they will not be of much use once they face assassins, so she cannot be too far away from Xie Tingzhou.

"Miss He," Shen Yu stopped, "There is no one here, let's talk here."

He Xuehui turned around and twisted her hands together, "We can enter Shengjing tomorrow."

"Yes," Shen Yu smiled and said, "Thank you all for the escort agency along the way. I will settle the remaining amount with you tomorrow."

He Xuehui frowned and said, "That's not what I wanted to say."

Shen Yu is not a little girl anymore. He Xuehui looked like she was in love, 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 saying, "Has Mr. Shi married yet?"

He came, Shen Yu sighed in her heart and said, "Not married yet."

He Xuehui smiled lightly and turned sideways, "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 myself, I'm not good at sewing, please don't mind, Mr. Shi."

He Xuehui was originally a carefree person, and now she pretended to be a lady, which was really embarrassing for her.

Shen Yu lowered her eyes and saw that it was a sachet in the moonlight.

"I can't accept this."

He Xuehui's face fell, "Why?"

Shen Yu said tactfully: "Miss He is very good, but a man should make achievements and establish a career. I don't have the idea of ​​getting married at the moment."

"I can wait for you," He Xuehui ignited hope, "I'm still young, we can get engaged first, and then get married in a few years."

Shen Yu was stunned. Euphemism didn't work, so she could only be more direct.

She bowed and said: "To be honest, Miss, love requires mutual affection. I don't have that intention towards Miss He."

He Xuehui was stunned and was about to cry, "Do you like those delicate ladies? Do you dislike people like me who wield swords and guns?"

Shen Yu was in a dilemma. She herself was a wielder of swords and guns, so how could she dislike her?

She was not good at coaxing people, so she didn't want people to think that she bullied her when she went back later.

"Don't cry, how can I tell you?" I can't tell her that I'm a woman.

He Xuehui held back her tears, "I know."

What do you know?

He Xuehui continued, "I heard them say that you and him, the two of you...are you really a homosexual?"

"…………" Shen Yu opened her mouth for a few breaths, and spoke with difficulty, "...Yes."

"You and him are in love?"

"Yes...right."

He Xuehui threw the sachet on Shen Yu's chest, "I don't believe you are a homosexual."

She didn't cry, Shen Yu was about to cry, "Then how can you believe it?"

"Swear!" He Xuehui said arrogantly.

Shen Yu thought about it, she definitely couldn't swear that she and Xie Tingzhou were a couple, but there was no way out.

She raised her hand, "I swear, I only like men."

He Xuehui stared at him in amazement, and for a long time, she covered her face and ran away in shame.

Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and walked back slowly, but didn't see Xie Tingzhou by the campfire.

"Where is he?" She asked a bodyguard.

The escort said, "It seems that he went to rest in the carriage."

Shen Yu saw Xie Tingzhou's figure beside the carriage.

He just glanced at her lightly, lifted the curtain and went in.

Shen Yu felt that the look was unusual, but she didn't understand what it meant.

It was midnight.

Perhaps it was because she was afraid of returning home, or because she was nervous before the storm, Shen Yu couldn't sleep.

The escort who was on night watch roasted sweet potatoes in the fire and asked her to come over to eat. The three of them sat around the campfire, and there were snoring sounds all around.

Suddenly, a low sound came from the wind, like the sound of a heavy city gate being opened.

Shen Yu turned her head to listen, and immediately put her ear to the ground.

The ground trembled slightly, and the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. It sounded like there were quite a few people.

The torches in the distance stretched into a fire dragon, running quickly in this direction.

Shen Yu immediately climbed onto the carriage, and as soon as she pulled out her knife, she was stopped by Xie Tingzhou.

"It's Xifeng." Xie Tingzhou said.

Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the carriage. The group of people had approached in the blink of an eye.

"Where is the prince?" Xifeng asked.

Shen Yu tilted her head towards the carriage, "Inside."

After saying that, she jumped off the carriage and left, leaving them master and servant. Since she had to leave early, she had to settle the bill first.

The group of escorts had been stunned and kept refusing to pay.

Shen Yu insisted on paying the remaining amount, and when she came back, Xie Tingzhou was already sitting on the horse.

"Okay?"

"Okay." Shen Yu nodded.

Shen 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 one after the other.

He Xuehui stopped nearby, "Shiyu, I have something to tell you."

Shiyu 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 forced little girl demeanor and spoke very straightforwardly, "Mr. Shi, although you have no interest in me, I still have something to say to you. Your road is difficult, and it will be even more difficult if you meet 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."

Shen Yu now just wanted to cover her mouth. 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, "That means you must not abandon Shi Yu, otherwise..."

"Your Highness!" Shen Yu interrupted hurriedly and said awkwardly: "Let's go into the city quickly."

Except Xifeng, all the guards lowered their heads, feeling that they knew something terrible.

Xie Tingzhou actually laughed out loud. He lowered his eyes slightly, pulled the reins and circled He Xuehui, saying: "If I abandon him, what will you do?"

He Xuehui was angry, "I... I will take him away, so that you will never see him again, and I will marry him a few wives."

Shut up! If it weren't for the unrevenged revenge, Shen Yu would just want to slash her own throat with a sword. She has never lost such a person in her life.

Xie Tingzhou turned his horse's head and said calmly: "He is my man. Whether he gets married or not is naturally up to me. You don't have to worry about it."

After saying that, he kicked the horse's belly, and the guards behind him also left.

Shen Yu bowed to He Xuehui, "Miss He, you really can't say that."

"I know," He Xuehui said, "I won't spread it."

Xie Tingzhou: "Shi Yu!"

"Here I come." Shen Yu hurriedly rode to follow.
