Treating the Concubine, Eliminating the Wife: Reborn, I Refuse to Marry the Scumbag and Marry the Pr

The Qingyun Guards' army retreated to the north, leaving only two thousand soldiers to escort them to Beijing.

The team formed a long queue. As a guard, Shen Yu followed Xie Tingzhou's carriage on horseback.

New Year's Eve is less than a month away, and Xie Tingzhou doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all. The team moves very slowly, taking three days to reach less than a hundred miles. If they continue at this speed, it will probably take two months to reach Shengjing.

The carriage moved very smoothly along the official road. There was almost no vibration inside the carriage, and even the sound of the wheels on the snow was very light.

Xie Tingzhou was leaning on the couch playing chess with him, holding a white piece between his two fingers.

The slender fingers were as white as jade, and their color was not inferior to that of the chess pieces.

Just as he was about to make his move, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves coming from far and near outside the car.

Because we walked slowly on the road, the sound of the horse's footsteps on the ground was also very slow. The horses' hooves hit the ground in waves, and the sound was louder than other horses, which was very abrupt.

Xie Tingzhou narrowed his eyes and put the white piece in his palm.

This was not the first time Xie Tingzhou heard this voice.

In the past few days, every half an hour, the sound of horse hooves would gradually fade away, mixed with the sound of galloping horses. However, within the time of a cup of tea, the sound would come back, comparable to telling the time.

Xie Tingzhou calmed down for a while, but finally couldn't hold it back and shouted loudly: "Xi Feng."

Xi Feng was sitting in the front room of the carriage. Hearing the sound, he opened the curtain and came in, "Your Highness."

Xie Tingzhou looked worried, "What on earth has he been running back and forth these days?"

Xifeng knew who he was asking as soon as he heard it, and replied: "Liang Jianfang and a group of important criminals are escorting in front. Shi Yu seems to be worried and goes to check from time to time."

Checking is checking, but it’s a bit too frequent.

"Call him in." Xie Tingzhou threw the chess piece back into the basket irritably.

Shen Yu was surprised for a while when she heard that Xie Tingzhou called her.

During the period when she became Xie Tingzhou's personal guard, apart from her daily shifts, she actually never saw Xie Tingzhou several times, and he never summoned her intentionally.

And from the observation, she found that her rotation was less than that of other guards. She didn't know whether it was arranged deliberately by Xifeng or by Xie Tingzhou's instructions.

It seems that the sun is coming out in the west today.

How did she know that Xie Tingzhou was really annoyed by her.

For example, if he wants to play a good game of chess, the sound will come back and forth. For example, if he wants to take a nap, the sound will still come and go.

Shen Yu got on the carriage and when she heard Xie Tingzhou's voice inside the carriage, she opened the curtain and walked in.

The carriage is about six or seven feet in length and width, which is as big as a small house. It has a magnificent exterior with red couplets and carved inscriptions. When you open the curtain and go in, you find that there is a cave inside.

There was a heater inside the carriage, and the floor was covered with 氍毹 (qú shū)①. It was extremely warm inside.

Xie Tingzhou was leaning on the couch wearing only a moon-white singlet, looking carefree and romantic. When Shen Yu came in, she only glanced at him and lowered her head, kneeling down in front of the desk.

"Your Highness called me here. What are your orders?"

Xie Tingzhou looked at the person in front of him, "You have been running back and forth dozens of times in the past few days, right?"

Shen Yu raised her head and looked at him doubtfully.

She always paid attention to the safety of the criminal, and Xie Tingzhou couldn't even blame him.

However, those horse hooves running around all day long are really annoying.

Xie Tingzhou picked up the teacup, pondered for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "The prisoner is escorted by Qingyun Guards. You are my guard. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Shen Yu heard that there was something in his words that meant she was overstepping her bounds, so she lowered her head and responded, "Yes, my subordinates know."

After saying that, he still couldn't help but remind him, "Your Highness, escorting Liang Jianfang and others to Beijing this time may not go smoothly."

Xie Tingzhou motioned for her to continue.

Shen Yu said: "As long as Liang Jianfang lives, there must be someone in Shengjing who can't sleep at night. If someone wants to silence him, he will probably do it on the road."

Xie Tingzhou moved his fingers along the tea cup, "What do you think?"

Shen Yu hesitated for a moment and saw a teapot on the table. She poured some teapot on the table and touched it with her fingers a few times to draw a rough map.

"This is Yanliang Pass. On the way from Yanliang Pass to Beijing, there are several places, including Pingdu Gorge..."

She explained while drawing, and marked several suitable locations for setting up ambushes.

She grew up in the border area. She had traveled the road from Yanliang Pass back to Beijing so many times that she was already familiar with it.

Xie Tingzhou listened silently.

He hadn't had much rest in the past few days, and he was woken up by the sound of Shigure's horse's hooves several times during the day when he tried to fall asleep.

He half-closed his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him, wondering where his mind was wandering.

"Your Highness?" Shen Yu raised her eyes and looked up.

Xie Tingzhou came to his senses and said, "I understand, go down."

Shen Yu frowned inadvertently. As soon as she stood up, she heard Xie Tingzhou say, "Can you play chess?"

"ah?"

"Can you play chess?" Xie Tingzhou asked again.

Shen Yu looked at the collapsed chessboard, "I know a little bit, but I don't play well."

"It doesn't matter." Xie Tingzhou raised his finger slightly, motioning for her to sit down.

Shen Yu holds the white one and Xie Tingzhou holds the black one.

Xie Tingzhou was an excellent chess player. Every time Shen Yu made a move, he would follow her without even thinking.

The warmth in the carriage, coupled with the ticking sound of ticking, made people drowsy.

Shen Yu was concentrating, and every time Xie Tingzhou made a seemingly random move, she was forced into a dilemma.

It was okay at first, but then the play became slower and slower. After Xie Tingzhou made the move, she held the white piece and did not move for a long time, staring at the chessboard intently, trying to find a way out from above.

After a while, she raised her head and said, "I give up."

As he finished speaking, he realized that Xie Tingzhou had closed his eyes against the soft pillow.

The bridge of his nose is straight, his eyebrows are straight but cold, his hair is scattered on the moon-white robe, and the black and white looks like they are soaked in ink.

He looked defenseless, as if he could kill him instantly with just a hand.

Shen Yu looked at it for a while and then gently put down the chess piece in her hand.

When she went out, Xie Tingzhou opened his eyes, his eyes showing no signs of fatigue.

"I closed my eyes and fell asleep. He didn't attack me." Xie Tingzhou said to Xifeng who had just entered.

Xifeng's expression was serious, "Your Highness should not put himself in danger like this."

Xie Tingzhou glanced at him sideways, "You don't think like everyone else that I have lost all my martial arts, do you?"

Xifeng said: "I don't dare."

"This person's identity is still in doubt, and I don't know which faction sent him."

Xi Feng said: "But I think his sword skills seem to be from the lineage of Mr. Jun Song."

"But it's not exactly the same. The gun used has some shadows of the Shijia gun. It seems to be a combination of the skills of several families, and the learning is too complicated."

Xie Tingzhou was also puzzled. Mr. Jun Song didn't leave the mountain easily. Since he could become his disciple, it was impossible for him to learn the Shi family's marksmanship.

Interesting, Xie Tingzhou seemed to smile.

In the past few years, he has lived in Beilin and lived happily, and he has not met such an interesting person for a long time.

It made people want to peel off the layers of skin on his body to see what was hidden inside.
