Shen Yu struck while the iron was hot, bumped him lightly and said, "I'm going to Beijing soon, and I'm afraid I won't have the chance to sleep in the same bed again. If you don't mind, why don't we tonight..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Tingzhou twitched his hand, opened the door and walked out without looking back, regardless of whether the people next door would notice.

Shen Yu held back her laughter and followed her, this was too funny.

Several people from the escort agency in the kitchen heard the sound of the door opening next door and came out to check. They happened to see two people coming out of the woodshed next door one after another. The one in front had a serious face and the one behind had a smile on his face.

The escort looked embarrassed, "They must have heard it."

"It should be."

"Why are they here?"

One person thought for a moment and said, "Don't you understand this? Taste, different feelings in different places, the look on your face must be angry at being disturbed by others."

"But when I looked at him, the young master was smiling."

"I know, I know," the speaker was the one who knocked on the door in the morning. He said with a mysterious face: "When I knocked on the door in the morning, Mr. Shi blamed him for being too indulgent last night. I guess Mr. Shi's body couldn't bear it. Now that he has been disturbed by us, his face is naturally filled with joy."

After hearing his analysis, several people felt that it made sense.

Shen Yu followed Xie Tingzhou closely. Xie Tingzhou entered the door first, but stopped and turned around to hold the door.

He lowered his eyes slightly and said jokingly: "Since you covet me so much, I'm a little afraid that you won't be able to control yourself. Why don't you stay at the door tonight."

The corners of his lips curled up, and the smile in the corners of his eyes disappeared behind the door.

Shen Yu looked at the closed door and was dumbfounded. She just took advantage of it, and Xie Tingzhou was preparing to make her suffer physically.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.

She raised her hand to knock on the door and whispered: "I will definitely be able to control it."

"Then how do I know?" A voice thanked Tingzhou from inside the door.

Shen Yu raised her hand, and Xie Tingzhou's voice came again.

"Knock again and I'll chop off your hand."

Shen Yu retracted her hand angrily and sighed, who calls him the heir apparent?

He had slept in ruined temples before, and it was okay to rest in front of the inn for a night. The guards should have kept vigil for him, Shen Yu comforted herself like this.

She lifted up her clothes and sat down at the door. She leaned back and the door behind her was suddenly opened.

As soon as Xie Tingzhou opened the door, he saw him lying on the ground and looking up at him blankly.

Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes, "Come in yet."

The escort team walked for another seven days and finally arrived in Shengjing the day before New Year's Eve.

It's just that it's getting late and the city gate is closed, so we can only wait until tomorrow morning to enter the city.

Many people were also blocked outside the city, and the land outside the city was already lit with bonfires.

The escort team found a place to camp, and set up a familiar tent and firewood pile.

The bonfire was crackling, and when the night wind passed by, sparks flew like smoke and rain.

Shen Yu sat by the fire and meditated.

When she woke up a few months ago, she was filled with joy, thinking that she could save her father and brother. Only now did she realize how naive this idea was.

She can't change their fate. There is a huge black hand behind the scenes that is stirring up the situation.

Looking back at the city gate, once you step into Shengjing, all the relaxation and comfort will stop. What you are about to face is a battle of life and death.

She can do what her brother said, don't take revenge and live a good life. With the dowry left by her mother and the Lu family, she can have enough food and clothing no matter how much she spends her life.

But she can't.

The blood debt of my father and brother must be repaid with someone's life.

The dead grass beside her moved, and Xie Tingzhou sat down next to her.

"Have you been to Shengjing before?" Xie Tingzhou asked.

Shen Yu took out a stick to make fire, "I used to come here with the Major General every time."

Xie Tingzhou heard the sadness in his words, thought for a moment and said, "If you want to go back to the General's Mansion, I'll let you go."

Shen Yu shook her head, "I won't go. General Shen and Major General are gone. I failed to protect them and I have no shame to see the Shen family again."

Xie Tingzhou stared at the bonfire in silence.

"House... do you want to drive me away?" Shen Yu suddenly turned her head and asked.

Xie Tingzhou turned to look at him with deep eyes.

He said seriously: "If you enter that door tomorrow, everything will be different. Shengjing is not a good place."

It was a cage.

He has been locked in since the day he decided to send troops.

The suspicious Emperor Tongxu would not let the vassal king rise. That battle saved thousands of people, but showed Shengjing how powerful Beilin was.

Emperor Tongxu issued three edicts to declare him to the capital, but he wanted to keep him in Shengjing as a hostage to contain King Beilin.

Shen Yu's face was hot from the bonfire. She wanted to get up to dissipate the heat. As soon as she stood up, her hand was held by Xie Tingzhou.

"Shigure," Xie Tingzhou looked at the bonfire, "I will accompany you all the way, so I will give you a chance. What is your purpose of staying with me?"

Shen Yu opened her mouth, "Do you believe what I said?"

Xie Tingzhou let go of his hand and looked at the towering black city wall in the distance, "Now you say, I believe it. After entering that door, I don't believe anyone."

Shen Yu's heart was slightly shaken. She sat back, sorted out her thoughts for a moment and said: "General Shen and the Major General are relatives to me, the dearest and dearest people in the world. Now only the wife and the young lady are left in the Shen family. , so I must avenge them."

Xie Tingzhou stared into his eyes.

Shen Yu looked directly at him firmly, "You are the person closest to the top of power that I can come into contact with now. You can say that I am using you to achieve my goals. It is better to say that I am willing to let you use me. As long as you can Those people paid with their blood, and my life is yours.”

The fire in his eyes flashed, filled with undisguised hatred and unstoppable determination.

He showed everything in those talking eyes. At this moment, Xie Tingzhou felt as if he could see through him.

He breathed out slowly, "Sheng Jingbo is treacherous. If you are not careful, you will die in the conspiracy. There is no turning back when you draw the bow. This is your last night to relax."

Listening to what he meant, Xie Tingzhou was definitely going to keep him.

Shen Yu still has many questions, about how Qingyun Guard learned about the emergency at Yanliang Pass, and where Liang Jianfang is now.

She didn't believe that Xie Tingzhou was so thoughtful that he would let Liang Jianfang be killed.

Shen Yu: "Liang Jian——"

The conversation came to an abrupt end when they heard the sound of footsteps and both of them turned around at the same time.

He Xuehui waved her hands repeatedly, "I didn't want to eavesdrop, I just wanted to talk to Mr. Shi."

"What did you say?" Shen Yu asked.

I don't know if it was because of the firelight, but He Xuehui's face turned a little red. She pinched her skirt and asked, "Can you take a step to speak?"

Shen Yu looked at Xie Tingzhou, "Can you do it yourself?"

Having arrived in Shengjing, I had to be more vigilant.

Xie Tingzhou nodded, "Go ahead."

Shen Yu followed He Xuehui, who kept walking, uneasy and not knowing how to speak.
