Chapter 42 Night Exploration

Jiang Lianzhi closed the study door and leaned against it to take a deep breath.

She had just died, and they were persuading him to take a concubine, just like in his previous life.

Take a concubine? How could he?

Ah Yu would definitely be angry, Jiang Lianzhi thought, because in the previous life, it was because he wanted to take a concubine that she, who never refuted, said no to him for the first time.

It was a pity that he did not agree to her at that time, but told her not to be unreasonable. He did not expect that the study would become a farewell forever.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lianzhi felt a pain in his heart.

How could she die? How could she die like this?

She obviously did not go to the border in the previous life, what went wrong?

He lived again, just to make up for the regrets of the previous life. He would definitely treat her twice as well, never take a concubine again, and only want her in this life.

But how could she, how dare she abandon him like this?

Jiang Lianzhi breathed quickly and walked slowly to the table.

With a clang, the things on the table were thrown to the ground by him.

The servant outside the door shuddered a few times, and then there were several loud noises in the room.

The house was smashed into a mess.

Jiang Lianzhi stood in the ruins and gasped.

She couldn't be dead! He didn't believe she died like this!

"Gao Jin!" Jiang Lianzhi opened the door and shouted.

As soon as Gao Jin entered the courtyard, he heard Jiang Lianzhi calling him and hurried over, "The master ordered."

Jiang Lianzhi whispered: "Go check..."

Gao Jin nodded and took note while listening, and went to do the work overnight.

...

The further south you go, the less snow there is. After another day of rushing, the escort team finally arrived in Yi'an before the city gate.

Yian is a big city, located in the center of Lingzhou, connected to Dingzhou, and can go directly to Shengjing through Dingzhou.

Shen Yu had been here before and had seen the prosperity of the soft red ten feet.

It was already 15:30 when they entered the city. There were still many pedestrians on the street. There were many pleasure boats on the river, with laughter and singing. It was very lively.

Shen Yu lifted the curtain and looked around, then turned around and asked: "How is this place compared to your Beilin?"

Xie Tingzhou glanced casually and said, "It's a little inferior."

Shen Yu asked: "Where is it inferior?"

Xie Tingzhou stroked his sleeves and looked at the woman on the pleasure boat who was waving her silk silk to attract customers, and said lightly: "Not as beautiful as Beilin."

Dog man!

Shen Yu snorted and threw the curtain away.

Xie Tingzhou smiled.

The carriage stopped in front of an inn.

The waiter saw a large group of people and knew that business had come, so he hurried forward to greet the guests.

Shen Yu got off the car first, looked up at the sign, turned around and stretched out his hand.

Just as Xie Tingzhou was about to get off the car, he lowered his eyes and saw an arm across his face.

The shaft of the carriage is only two feet high. Did he really think that she was weak and couldn't take care of herself?

Shen Yu waited for a long time before she saw Xie Tingzhou slowly put his hand on her arm and got off the carriage.

The money she had was more than enough to book the best inn in the city, but she couldn't show her wealth. No one could guarantee that the people from the escort agency wouldn't have bad intentions in front of the money.

It would take five days at the fastest and ten days at the slowest to go to Beijing. It was better to be safe.

The people from the escort agency only arranged one room for the two of them, but the two of them were used to living together all the way, so they didn't think there was anything wrong.

Shen Yu curled up in the carriage for many days, curled up so much that her bones hurt. She climbed into the bed and fell asleep on her side.

Xie Tingzhou blew out the lights and sat in the dark. Contrary to his usual practice, he didn't go to bed.

The bangzi sounded four times, one slow and three fast, and suddenly a few short bird calls came from the wind.

Xie Tingzhou walked to the bed. The person on the bed was sleeping soundly and had rolled from the inside of the bed to the center.

He was too familiar with this person. In less than an hour, this person would occupy the entire bed.

The window opened and closed, and a black figure disappeared from the window in the blink of an eye.

A huge goshawk flew in the air and flew towards a residential house.

As his robes fluttered in the air, Xie Tingzhou tiptoed and landed silently in a courtyard.

The snow-white goshawk in the sky swooped down, folded its wings and landed on the eaves. It was the most precious jade claw among the God of Ten Thousand Eagles, the Saker Falcon.

"Your Highness." Xi Feng lowered his head, "I'm late."

Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes slightly, "What's the situation?"

Xi Feng said seriously: "Your Highness is right. There were hundreds of dead men among the bandits that day. We captured a few alive, but they hid poison in their teeth and didn't leave any alive. Please punish them, Your Highness."

Xie Tingzhou raised his hand slightly, and the Saker Falcon fluttered its wings and landed on his arm, "Hundreds of dead men, they are really willing to spend blood. It seems that they have been forced into a desperate situation and want to fight to the death."

"That's right, "Xi Feng said solemnly: "The falling rock crushed the substitute in the prison car. They thought Liang Jianfang was dead, but they were not sure whether His Highness had obtained Liang Jianfang's confession. So since His Highness disappeared, several groups of people have been searching for His Highness's whereabouts. "

"Finally, the person was fished out," Xie Tingzhou touched Hai Dongqing and said gently: "It's worth my trouble to set up the trap and sacrifice myself to accompany them in this play."

The originally designed drama, who knew that Shi Yu would come out halfway and make it a real play.

Xi Feng said: "Now that the person has been fished out, I will escort His Highness back to Beijing."

Xie Tingzhou suddenly fell silent. He turned his head and looked in one direction for a few breaths, and said: "No hurry."

Xi Feng did not dare to ask the reason. His Highness had his own arrangements. He only said: "Shi Yu escorted His Highness all the way this time. Is he doing his best?"

"He," Xie Tingzhou chuckled, "He is very courageous. "

Shi Yu was assigned to Xifeng by Xie Tingzhou. Xie Tingzhou's guards were led by Xifeng. If the subordinates failed to protect the master, Xifeng should be punished together.

Xifeng lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "It was my subordinates who failed to discipline him."

"You can't control him."

Xifeng didn't understand the meaning of this, Xie Tingzhou had changed the subject.

"How is the capital now?"

"Everything is fine," Xifeng reported one by one, "Liang Jianfang has been secretly imprisoned in the dungeon of the palace, no one noticed, Changliu and Cang have also been settled in the palace of Shengjing."

Xie Tingzhou nodded slightly and explained some things to Xifeng.

After everything was done, he patted Haidongqing on the head twice and whispered: "Don't follow too closely."

Then he raised his arm, and Haidongqing flapped its wings and flew out.

Xie Tingzhou returned the same way, just closed the window, turned around and saw a figure sitting on the bed.

Shen Yu just woke up, rubbing her eyes and said in confusion: "Where did you go in the middle of the night? Why didn't you take me with you?"

She just woke up, her voice was a little hoarse, and a little defenseless.

Xie Tingzhou suddenly had an illusion, like a husband who went out to cheat in the middle of the night and was caught by his wife when he came back.

Xie Tingzhou said nothing, walked straight to the table, poured a cup of tea and drank it all, then asked: "Why did I take you with me?"

"I'm protecting you," Shen Yu sobered up a little, stared at him for a long time, and suddenly said: "Oh, I understand."

After that, he fell asleep again.

Xie Tingzhou put down the teacup, tilted his head and asked: "What do you understand?"

Shen Yu leaned a little further into the bed, closed his eyes and said: "I see it but don't say it, I have to save your face."

Xie Tingzhou smiled, sat on the bed and leaned over to look at him, "No need to save my face, you tell me, what do you understand?"

Shen Yu opened his eyes, "Do you really want me to tell you?"

"Say it!" Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes and glanced at him, with a sense of dignity without anger.
