Chapter 442 Beixiu pretends not to know each other at the banquet
After the governor arranged for everyone to prepare everything, he sent a dozen guards to follow Shen Ruzhou to the military camp.
The governor sent Shen Ruzhou out of the house with great courtesy, and then went straight to the attic to have a banquet with Bei Xiu to thank him.
"Your Majesty, I have sent everything to the military camp according to your instructions. In addition, the food and medicine sent to the surrounding areas to purchase will arrive in two days, ensuring that the soldiers in the north will not be short of food. medicine."
The governor had a flattering smile on his face. He was originally waiting for the compliments from the Beixiu Banquet, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear the person above him speak. He had to bravely raise his head to check, and when he met the cold and captivating gaze, he was so frightened that his legs trembled. Shivering, "Your Majesty, what did the lower official do wrong?"
A cold light flashed across Bei Xiuyan's eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his words were full of danger, "Who is the young lady who just came?"
Xiao Ruohan, who was drinking tea at the side, froze when he heard him ask this question, and thought to himself: Why are you asking when you can clearly see it in the attic? It's not like you don't know Shen Ruzhou.
The governor didn't realize he was there, and replied politely: "That is Princess Wucheng, who came to the north with King Wucheng."
Princess Wu Cheng?This title made Beixiu Yan very unhappy. His face darkened and his voice was cold: "Miss Shen and King Wucheng have long since reconciled. The governor should be careful what he says."
The governor lowered his head and didn't notice Bei Xiuyan's cold expression. He was just thinking about the scene when he went to the military camp that day, and couldn't help but retort, "That's not possible. I was going to the military camp to give a woman to King Wu Cheng that day." , happened to be bumped into by Princess Wucheng, and was scolded by her." At this point, the governor touched his nose in embarrassment, and then said: "Fortunately, the princess is generous and doesn't care about me."
Seeing that Beixiu Yan's face was getting more and more ugly, Xiao Ruohan hurriedly said, "Prefect, Miss Shen and King Wucheng have indeed reconciled. The news has spread throughout Kyoto. Maybe it's because Beixiu is far away and you haven't heard the news."
The governor didn't notice her kindness, and continued running on the road to death, "Rumors, they must be rumors. I see how much love between King Wu Cheng and his wife, the princess asked me for a fine fox fur before, He said that it’s cold and I want to make a cloak for the prince.”
Xiao Ruohan held his forehead and felt that the governor was really hopeless. He looked at him with clear eyes, clearly saying: I tried my best, you can only wish for yourself.
A fierce look flashed in Bei Xiuyan's eyes, and he turned the tea cup on the table with his slender fingers. With a strong force, the tea cup split into four parts with a "bang", and one of the fragments happened to be scratched by chance. It hurt the governor's mouth.
The governor's eyes were filled with disbelief. He raised his hand to cover his mouth, and his fingers were soaked with blood.Bei Xiuyan raised his eyebrows, looked cold and arrogant, and said unhurriedly:
"I was practicing with a tea cup just now and accidentally injured the governor. Don't blame the governor."
The words were clearly an apology, but they came out of Bei Xiuyan's mouth like an order. They were so coercive that they had no other thought but to obey.
The governor was so frightened that he trembled and quickly said with a smile, "It's a small injury, it doesn't matter."
Bei Xiuyan's eyes were so intense that his hair stood on end, and his words were full of warning, "The governor's mouth is injured, so he should speak less in the future. After all, trouble comes from the mouth."
The governor then realized that he had said the wrong thing and made the person above him unhappy, so he nodded in agreement.
At night, the military camp was still brightly lit, and Jian Yu returned to the military camp quietly.
She tiptoed back to her tent, not expecting that Shen Ruzhou had been waiting here for a long time.
"Going to see the regent?" Shen Ruzhou got straight to the point. Other than this reason, she couldn't think of why Jian Yu would leave privately.
Jian Yu's eyes were surprised at first, and then he looked away in panic, not daring to meet Shen Ruzhou's eyes.
Although she remained silent as always, her attitude at this moment was considered acquiescence.
"I was originally wondering how the governor could suddenly be so sensible and prepare food in advance. It turned out that it was the regent who arranged it."
Shen Ruzhou became more and more certain that the look in the attic during the day was from Beixiu Yan. He was so close to Chi Chi that he even called Jian Yu over, but he didn't want to meet him.
Shen Ruzhou felt cold in his heart and his eyes were dim, "I know that you secret guards are very secretive. Since the regent doesn't want to reveal his identity and doesn't want me to know, I won't ask any more questions."
She stood up silently, forced herself to straighten her back, and said in a cold voice: "You can leave too, you don't have to stay with me."
Hearing this, Jian Yu immediately knelt down on one knee, with a stern look on his face, and said without any emotion in his words: "I have been ordered by the regent to protect the young lady, and will not evacuate without orders."
As expected, he was a well-trained secret guard. Even though he had been with him for so long, Jian Yu only listened to Beixiu Yan.
Shen Ruzhou smiled bitterly. Now that she was in the military camp, she didn't need anyone to protect her. I'm afraid Jian Yu had another mission.
After thinking for a moment, she asked tentatively: "The regent asked you to stay with me, presumably not just for my safety, but also to make it easier to find out information about the military camp."
Jian Yu did not deny it, and lowered his head even harder.Shen Ruzhou knew that she had guessed correctly. She slowly closed her eyes and calmed down the secret sarcasm in her heart little by little.
"In that case, I won't say anything more." Shen Ruzhou tried hard to keep her face calm and did not show any sadness. She stepped out of the camp, her figure gradually disappearing into the night, looking particularly lonely and lonely.
At night, Shen Ruzhou tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.Scenes of getting along with Bei Xiuyan kept flashing through my mind. The person who was once so gentle, careful, and protective of himself is now as cold as a stranger. His heart seems to be blocked by a mass, and his heart is full of disappointment. and suffocation.
Just after the midnight watch, the military camp suddenly sounded the horn, which was a signal that the enemy was invading.Shen Ruzhou quickly got up and left the tent.
Outside, soldiers have begun to gather, and Xiao Chenyan is already fully dressed. He is wearing silver armor, with a solemn and cold expression, and an extraordinary heroic appearance.Although Xiao Chenyan usually looks annoying, at this moment he is still commanding the three armies with real majesty, and his solemn and dignified aura attracts the attention of the soldiers.
Shen Chumu was also wearing heavy armor and followed beside Xiao Chenyan.Although his elder brother was highly skilled in martial arts and this was not his first time on the battlefield to face the enemy, Shen Ruzhou was still filled with worry when he saw him fighting with his own eyes.
Xiao Chenyan looked sideways and saw a worried look on her face. He thought she was worried about him. He felt warm in his heart and said warmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back with a beautiful victory."
