Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 10

Although Xiao Changning and Yu Yunqing met when they were young, they were just nodding acquaintances. The so-called marriage is just a joke when their parents were alive.

Yu Yunqing is a descendant of a family. He entered Jinyiwei at the age of eighteen. He was both civil and military and handsome. He was also favored by the imperial concubine because he was in the same hometown with Yu Guifei. When Xiao Changning was twelve years old, Concubine Yu’s illness no longer healed. It coincided with Yu Yunqing’s imperial offering of martial arts. The concubine was eager to find a support for her daughter, so she half-jokingly suggested to the emperor, “The concubine thinks this young man is good. He is an innocent and reliable son of a family, and he is a fellow villager with his concubines, so he can still serve as a concubine for Changning.”

At that time, the emperor was reluctant to part with his precious daughter, he just smiled and said softly, “Changning is still young, so wait a few years, don’t worry.”

This incident was revealed, but I don’t know who leaked the news. The Changning Gong mainly recruited Yu Qianhu from Nanzhen Fusi to work as a husband. Until Yu Guifei died of illness, Xibi Palace’s situation was not the same day after day. Day, this topic gradually dissipated.

When Xiao Changning was young and ignorant, he also admired Yu Yunqing’s handsome appearance and chic martial arts, occasionally meeting in the palace, he would laugh and chat with him, but it was only admiration, without the slightest thought. After the death of the first emperor, Xiao Changning tasted the helplessness of people taking the tea to cool down, and Yu Yunqing disappeared completely from her vision like a passing glance.

Had it not been for Shen Xuan’s sudden mention of this, she would have forgotten the ‘fixed marriage’ of the old sesame seeds and rotten grains.

In other words, should the eunuch’s possessiveness be very strong? Even if he is not humane, he would never allow his wife to be unclear about other men?

In order to save his life, Xiao Changning solemnly defended himself: “Nothing is just a joke that the mother and concubine said casually.”

“The imperial concubine was worthy of being in the harem back then, and just’saying it casually’ can also cause an uproar in the city.” Shen Xuan still looked at her with heavy eyes, and said, “How old was the princess at that time? Eleven or twelve? “

Xiao Changning said sincerely, “Twelve years old… is really just a joke from the mother and concubine, don’t mention it again.”

“Twelve.” Shen Xuan nodded slightly, “When the minister met His Highness, His Highness was also twelve. After six years, the minister still remembers the demeanor of His Highness when he was young.”

Shen Xuan had a lot of words today, and said more words than in the past few days combined. Xiao Changning became more anxious, unable to guess what idea he had made, to turn over the old account of six years ago that he was instigated to call him “sissy”?

Even Xiao Changning, who was repeatedly turned over by Shen Xuan, was a little angry, and said slightly annoyed: “Old things are old, what do you always mention about it?”

Shen Xuan snorted.

When the carriage and Jin Yiwei passed by, Yu Yunqing led his subordinates to stand by the side of the road, holding his fists and saluting Shenxuan’s carriage.

The power of the East Factory is full of arrogance. Although it is on par with Jin Yiwei, in terms of status, the admiral of the East Factory is better than the commander of Jinyiwei. If it is encountered in the road, the commander of Jinyiwei must take the initiative to salute the admiral, not to mention that Yu Yunqing is only the commander of the Nanzhen Fusi. , And should give way to Shen Xuan’s courtesy.

Inside the car, Shen Xuan suddenly ordered in a deep voice: “Stop.”

The carriage stopped according to words. Before Xiao Changning could react, Shen Xu stretched out a slender white knuckle, gently raised the curtain of the driving car, revealing his half-white and brave face, and lifted his jaw towards Yu Yunqing, “Yu Fushi.”

Yu Yunqing, who was suddenly named, looked inexplicable, looked up, and happened to see Xiao Changning who was in the car through the curtain, and was startled.

Yu Yunqing’s facial features are well-defined, and the outline is rigid and distinct, which is completely different from Shen Xu’s blatant and sharp handsome. After a moment, he returned to his senses, clasped his fists and saluted again, and said, “Admiral Shen.”

As the saying goes, “A mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.” Jin Yiwei and Dongchang have fought openly for so many years. Jin Yiwei called Dongchang castrates as tarsal maggots and gutter mice, and Dongchang called Jin Yiwei as queen dowagers and eagle dogs. Neither side looked down on either.

Xiao Changning wondered: What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

However, the answer to this question was soon revealed.

Shen Xuan looked indifferent, her voice was cold, and asked: “I heard that Queen Mother Liang wants her only daughter Princess Wan’an to be married to Yu Fushi?”

Xiao Changning, who was suddenly informed of this news, was startled: Huh? My palace has only been married for two days. What happened?

Yu Yunqing was asked about this unexpectedly, especially in front of Xiao Changning. He couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed, and reluctantly smiled, “There is no definite number yet.”

Is this a tactful confession?

Alas, man. From the time when Xiao Changning fell into despair and Yu Yunqing broke contact with Xibi Palace, she expected this day.

“My palace would like to congratulate Yu Fushi, and his long-cherished wish came true.” Xiao Changning didn’t feel sad. After all, he had never really liked Yu Yunqing, but he was just a little bit emotional about the impermanence of the world.

“Congratulations.” Before Yu Yunqing could speak, Shen Xuan chuckled lightly, “I heard that the empress dowager had a good relationship with the commander Huo Daren. Even the only daughter would be betrothed to Yu Fushi. It can be seen that the queen mother and Jin Yiwei had a good relationship. The relationship is very close.”

Shen Xuan’s words touched the secrets of the palace, Yu Yunqing’s face was a little difficult to look, and she lowered her face and said: “Admiral Shen has something to say, you might as well say it straight.”

Shen Xuan glanced at Xiao Changning with a complicated expression, put down the car curtain, and said coldly: “You can know some things well, but I’m afraid it won’t sound very good.”

Yu Yunqing gritted her teeth and frowned as she watched Shen Xuan’s carriage go away.

“What did you arouse him? Yu Yunqing didn’t offend you.” Xiao Changning asked cautiously. But when she recalled Yu Yunqing’s deflated appearance, she felt a little bit happy again.

Shen Xuan said expressionlessly, “The Governor just can’t understand these hypocrites, who climb up by climbing on women’s skirts.”

Xiao Changning was happy, and blurted out without restraining herself, “They are hypocrites, you are such a villain…”

Shen Xuan gave a cool glance, and Xiao Changning gave a dry cough, and turned his gaze away with a guilty conscience, not daring to look at him.

The car fell into a treacherous silence again, until an abrupt dog bark came.

“Wow! Wow!” Outside the car, the black dog trotting along the way suddenly barked.

Xiao Changning wondered, “Didn’t you mean that you are a human being and don’t bark easily… Um!”

Before she finished speaking, she saw Shen Xuan’s eyes dazzling, grabbing Xiao Changning’s wrist, and shouting: “Get down!”

The change happened at the moment of electric light flint!

“What…” Xiao Changning hadn’t reacted yet, suddenly he heard a sharp blade piercing through the air, and the temples chilled, and from the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a cold feather arrow, brushing her cheek!

Shen Xuan’s pupils shrank, and she pulled Xiao Changning into her arms to protect her.

Xiao Changning was pressed tightly in his arms, and a sense of fear of life and death came to his mind afterwards. She was held by Shen Xuan with one hand and pressed in her arms. It was a subconscious protective action that was too late to think.

Xiao Changning never imagined that this Dongchang eunuch, who had been disgusted with each other for two years, would actually take action to protect her.

The inside of the car was narrow and cramped, skin touched, and Shen Xuan’s chest was wide and hard. Xiao Changning looked up at his handsome face close at hand and squatted: “I…were we assassinated?”

Shen Xuan’s Adam’s apple rolled a little, and said indifferently, “I missed a hit, and ran away. It’s also smart.”

As he said, he pressed his palm, and with a click, the feather arrow broke hard in his palm and was broken into two pieces.

Xiao Changning was still stunned, with lingering fears, shaking his lips and asked: “Why are you so calm? We are… assassinated!”

“There are too many people who want the life of the Governor. It’s a commonplace meal. This is not the first time, and it is definitely not the last.” Shen Xuan threw the broken arrow on the ground and looked down at Xiao Changning, “I was in danger just now, why didn’t you hide? ?”

“It’s too late to react.” Xiao Changning said aggrieved, “Who would have thought that such a thing would happen.”

Shen Xuan thoughtfully, and then concluded, “The princess is too weak.”

“…” The little gratitude that finally came up in my heart disappeared.
