Chapter 398 Regardless of one’s own life or death
The guests inside turned out to be Beixiu Yan and Xiao Ruohan.
Shen Ruzhou turned to leave, when Bei Xiuyan's cold voice came from behind, "Why are you leaving, Miss Shen? Aren't you going to get on the boat and swim with her?"
Xiao Ruohan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "Miss Shen, don't leave. It's fun when there are many people."
They do it on purpose.Shen Ruzhou slowly closed his eyes and tried to calm down his emotions.
Here, Vice General Sun had also walked over. Seeing Shen Ruzhou still standing outside the cabin, he warmly greeted her to go inside, "Sister, come in."
Xiao Ruohan heard it inside and stood up to salute, "I have heard for a long time that Miss Shen's brother is very brave. Now that I have seen him, it seems that the rumors are true."
The last four words, Xiao Ruohan, almost popped out from between her teeth. If it weren't for Shen Ruzhou's face, she really couldn't say it.
Beixiu Yan looked at Deputy General Sun up and down and looked at Shen Ruzhou in confusion.
Shen Ruzhou moved her face away, pretending not to notice. She sat down next to Xiao Ruohan, picked up the tea, and carefully blew the tea leaves floating on it.
Seeing that the people inside had misunderstood, Vice General Sun quickly explained: "She is not my biological sister, she is the daughter-in-law that General Xiao Shen told me."
"Pfft." Shen Ruzhou didn't expect Deputy General Sun to be so sincere, and he coughed violently.
Xiao Ruohan stroked her back very considerately and whispered in her ear: "I'm still wondering why your brother looks so vulgar."
There were ripples in Bei Xiuyan's eyes, and the corner of his mouth curved, "Miss Shen is so lucky to be able to marry such an honest person."
Shen Ruzhou heard the smile in his words and immediately replied: "Your Majesty is very blessed to have a beautiful woman by his side."
Xiao Ruohan listened on the side and felt that the tone of the two people was strange, like a verbal battle between a man and a woman.
Vice General Sun was surprised when he heard Shen Ruzhou calling him the prince, and asked: "Your Majesty? Which prince are you?"
"Just an idle prince with a foreign surname, not worth mentioning." Beixiu Yan was speechless when faced with such rough people.
This time Shen Ruzhou endured it and did not spray tea again.What a joke, if Bei Xiuyan was a idle prince, there would be no busy people in the court.
"I didn't expect that my old Sun would meet the prince the first time he came to Beijing. It was really eye-opening." Vice Admiral Sun laughed heartily and waved to the boatman outside, "Send some wine and food, pick up what you have picked up, it's not bad. Your money."
Soon, the boatman served a lot of good dishes, all of which were fish and shrimp just caught from the lake, which looked really delicious.
Bei Xiuyan knew that Shen Ruzhou loved shrimps, so he pushed the plate of steamed shrimps on the table in front of her.
Shen Ruzhou remembered that he had cooked shrimps for her at the Beixiu Banquet last time in the military camp. The scene of the two eating next to each other came to mind, and his cheeks turned red instantly.
Xiao Ruohan saw this and became more suspicious. He deliberately tested the relationship between the two, "Your Majesty, I like to eat shrimps, but the shells are difficult to peel. I wonder if your Majesty can help me peel them."
"Okay." Bei Xiuyan responded lightly, but there was a hint of endearment in his eyes.
Shen Ruzhou suddenly felt as if a thousand kilograms of stone were pressing down on him, and he felt so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.
She knew that Xiao Ruohan didn't like Beixiu Yan, but she didn't know that Bei Xiuyan doted on Xiao Ruohan so much, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Bei Xiuyan's slender fingers deftly peeled off the shrimp shells and put them in Xiao Ruohan's bowl, not forgetting to tell her to eat more.
Xiao Ruohan picked up a crystal clear shrimp with his chopsticks and said to Shen Ruzhou: "This shrimp is very fresh and sweet, Miss Shen should try it too."
As she said this, she raised her hand to put the shrimp into Shen Ruzhou's bowl. Shen Ruzhou immediately picked up the bowl and put it aside. He gritted his teeth and said, "The prince specially peeled this for you. I can't bear it."
Hearing this, Xiao Ruohan could basically conclude that Shen Ruzhou was jealous.
Beixiu Yan naturally saw the clues, and his eyes flashed with light.
Vice General Sun thought Shen Ruzhou was angry, so he quickly smiled and said, "I was negligent. I'll peel it off for you, Miss Shen."
He imitated Beixiu Yan to peel the shrimps, but he was clumsy. After peeling for a long time, one shrimp was peeled beyond recognition, leaving only a little bit of meat.
Shen Ruzhou looked at it and felt dumbfounded.
The boat docked at a small island in the middle of the lake. It was autumn, and the maple leaves on the island were red, making it a charming scene.
The four of them were walking in the maple forest when three men in black suddenly jumped out. Several of them had their faces covered and held big knives, blocking the way.
Xiao Ruohan had never seen such a battle before, so he instinctively held Shen Ruzhou's arm and hid behind her.
Shen Ruzhou looked at Beixiu Yan on the left, and then at Deputy General Sun on the right. He felt that the fighting power of his side completely overwhelmed the opponent, and he said to the gangster very arrogantly: "If you don't want to die, get out of here."
The leading man in black obviously did not expect that a woman would have such momentum. He took out a big knife and pointed it at her and said: "Girl, you see clearly, we are robbers. If we are afraid of death, we will not do this business."
As he spoke, he swung his sword and struck the sky twice, the move was very fierce.
Shen Ruzhou was still unafraid and cursed, "If you want money rather than your life, you will be unlucky if you meet us."
"We don't want money, we just want people, and we want you." The man in black didn't understand Shen Ruzhou's words at all, and went straight to get the people.
"Stop." Bei Xiuyan's voice sounded, carrying an intimidating pressure that scared the man in black to the point where he didn't dare to step forward.
Shen Ruzhou felt proud and raised his eyelids at the man in black, feeling that he had done something wrong for himself.
She was looking forward to seeing Beixiu Yan's flowing moves in the next moment, beating these people to pieces.
I didn't want Bei Xiuyan to say, "Since the person you want to arrest is Miss Shen, and we are not on the same page, can we leave first?"
The man in black was stunned when he heard this, but finally cooperated and made way, "Okay, you can go."
Beixiu Yan took Xiao Ruohan and left without looking back.
Shen Ruzhou stood there blankly as if struck by five thunders, feeling only the biting coldness of the autumn wind.
She didn't notice the men in black coming forward, but Vice General Sun kicked them away.
Until Vice General Sun beat the three of them away, Shen Ruzhou was still standing in the rustling autumn wind as if he had lost his soul, his eyes empty.
Beixiu Yan had never abandoned him at critical moments, but now he pulled Xiao Ruohan and left like this.
He only cares about Xiao Ruohan's safety and doesn't care about his own life or death at all.Whether it was disappointment or sadness, Shen Ruzhou's eyes were filled with tears.
Vice General Sun looked at him and stamped his feet anxiously, "Don't be afraid, I have beaten all the bad guys away. It's okay."
Shen Ruzhou seemed not to hear anything, tears kept falling down.
Vice General Sun only felt that Shen Ruzhou was scared out of his mind, and finally had to tell the truth, "Miss Shen, you don't have to be afraid, there are no bad guys, they are all brothers in my camp. It was me who was so obsessed that I listened to their bad ideas and acted a It’s all my fault that I play a hero saving a beauty to win your favor, so please stop crying.”
