Chapter 58 Awkward
Shen Tingnian did appreciate the scenery seriously at the beginning, but at first glance, it was an hour, where did she still have any sense of novelty, Pu Yangxu pointed to the stone monument by the lake with great interest, pointed to the mountain in the distance, and told her some anecdotes.
"I haven't seen it yet, so I'll take a look."
"I can't walk." Shen Tingnian grabbed his arm squeamishly, and the curtain that was blown open by the wind revealed her white and pink face.
Unexpectedly, Pu Yangxu didn't propose to go back, he hooked his lips and smiled unexpectedly, then raised his right hand and nodded at the center of the lake, "Then don't go, let's go to the lake to play." ”
Shen Tingnian was startled at first, and then looked at him deeply.
Soon, a painting boat docked, waiting in front of them, although Shen Tingnian had not yet understood the purpose of Pu Yangxu's trip, he was already mentally prepared.
The two joined hands, like other couples who came to the lake, talking and laughing on the boat, and there were other guests on the boat, but there were not many people, three or three.
"Your Highness's mouth is dry, right?" Shen Tingnian was a little seasick, in order not to expose it, she took the initiative to add tea to Pu Yangxu, and looked far away, looking at the woods by the lake from the wide open window.
"No, you don't." Pu Yangxu slowly pushed the tea aside, and then stretched out his hand to pull her from the stool to his lap, like a flirtatious man, hooking her chin, "Your face is wrong, what is uncomfortable?" ”
Shen Tingnian had no choice but to lie in his arms aggrievedly, blinking his big eyes, and told the truth, "The concubine doesn't know water, if there is anything, the husband must remember to take the concubine." ”
"What are you thinking, how can I be willing to put you in danger." When Pu Yangxu said this, he watched the movements of the tourists on the boat, and the focus of his eyes was also on the woods by the lake, he pinched her chin and rubbed her delicate skin with his fingers, "You just have to rest assured, I will protect you......"
I didn't think of such a greasy and crooked behavior in the past, probably because I had a little deliberate intention now, and both of them felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, Shen Tingnian felt that the acid water in his stomach was gurgling, and Pu Yangxu's eyebrows were wrinkled.
"I will also protect my husband." Shen Tingnian replied, and at the same time she saw that there was a commotion at the place where they had landed.
The sound of the wind mixed with the exclamations of passers-by came from afar.
"Someone fell overboard!"
"Someone is coming...... Save people. ”
The boat had reached the center of the lake, and the deep blue water looked like a dark abyss.
Riots always start out inadvertently, and once they happen, there is no turning back.
Pu Yangxu waited for a long time, but when he saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief, he patted Shen Tingnian's shoulder, and the weight that pressed his chest was heavy was withdrawn at once, and Shen Tingnian obediently sat back on the bench next to him.
The tourists on the boat seemed to have disappeared in an instant, and there was no movement at all, Shen Tingnian tried to hold his breath, and soon noticed something unusual, and the sound of sword clashing followed the wind into his ears.
Fortunately, the time was short, and she couldn't hear anything.
Pu Yangxu held his hands and stood in front of the window of the boat, looking at the road they came, Shen Tingnian looked uncontrollably at the woods on the periphery of Lanbao Lake through the gap between his figure and the window...... When she was stunned, Pu Yangxu turned his head to look at her.
"Your Highness, you will be seen standing there."
Pu Yangxu was slightly stunned, he expected that there were many kinds, but he didn't expect Shen Tingnian to be so calm and calm.
Shen Tingnian's eyes blinked, and he explained to him, "Your Highness is doing things, and concubines are not qualified to beak. ”
Indeed, she didn't feel that Pu Yangxu brought her to this place to enjoy in the name of birthday amusement, and it was wrong to do anything else, as early as when she boarded the ship, she was speculating, and when she waited until this time, not to mention that Pu Yangxu was relieved, so was she.
Although they only had a few guards with them along the way, she knew that there were more people hiding in the crowd.
"Wait a little longer, and we'll go back."
Pu Yangxu didn't explain, today's trip was indeed planned.
The people of the Cong Wangfu were very efficient, he had just arrived on the front foot, and when the news spread, it was only an hour before he laid a net around the Blue Treasure Lake.
Judging from the information obtained by the secret agents, there are not many people lurking in Beifeng City, but the enemy is in the shadows, and there are many constraints. What's more, this group of people is extremely good at hiding, maybe an inconspicuous passerby, or maybe a local who has lived here for a long time, if they don't take the initiative to show up, Pu Yangxu will have no way to kill them.
Fortunately, he knew the other party's purpose, so he decided to use his body as a bait to lure the enemy.
On the second day of arriving in Beifeng City, Pu Yangxu began to pick a place on the panoramic map of Beifeng City, and he didn't decide on the location until yesterday.
Lanbao Lake is located three miles away from the city, which is not only out of the patrol range of the defenders of Beifeng City, which is convenient for the other party to act, but also suitable for clearing the field, so as not to hurt the innocent, and because of the famous place, it is worth his visit to the United States.
Even his birthday is to his liking, not early, not too late, too early, how can he travel when he first arrives? It was too late and unlucky, he didn't want such an incident to affect his mood in the Cong Palace.
Even Shen Tingnian was obedient and taught him a reason to wander around Lanbao Lake, and the people and horses in the dark were hiding everywhere one after another.
The secret guards he assigned were all elites with one enemy and one hundred paces, and one person was set up at fifty paces, and it was not a very dense ambush, but it was to teach the other party to come and go, and it was impossible to escape one person.
The people who can be worthy of Pu Yangxu's design are not stupid and stupid, on the way from the capital to Beifeng City, there is no Shu Tai's forbidden army guards, they can all hold on, and they will never startle the snake without perfect preparation, and Beifeng City is their last and best opportunity, if something happens to King Cong's fiefdom, anyone will record this matter on King Cong's head.
When he returns, King Cong will arrange someone to escort him, and Shu Tai will also lead the army north to meet him, and once he misses this opportunity, no one knows what year and month the prince will leave Beijing.
Earlier, Pu Yangxu arranged for someone to buy him a gift in the name of Shen Tingnian, and then he would also take her on a trip on her birthday, and soon this information would be discovered.
Sure enough, when he left the palace of King Cong, the people in the secret took action one after another.
When the sky darkened slightly, the boat began to move, slowly and leisurely approached the shore, the wind blew stronger, Shen Tingnian smelled the moist smell of the lake water, and the smell of blood that could not be ignored.
Whether it was a murderer or a killed, from beginning to end, all she heard was the sound of sharp weapons colliding, and it was conceivable who was doing it, and it was someone who would not cry out in pain when he died.
Soon, someone came out of the woods, his armor stained with blood, but his saber was clean, and he fell to his knees on one knee, "Your Highness, it has been wiped out." ”
Pu Yangxu frowned instead, and he didn't leave a single one alive, not because the guards were unfavorable, but because the people who came were all dead, and the people who sent them would not give them a chance to betray.
He waved his hand, motioning for him to step back and go to deal with the follow-up in the forest.
It was at this moment that the ship on the shore shook violently, but the bow of the ship was blown open from below.
Pu Yangxu was unobstructed on the deck, so he had to quickly get off the boat and land, and the elite guards who had been on the ship unanimously and quickly got out of the way, and before he landed with one foot, a figure suddenly jumped next to him, squeezed his shoulder, and almost went ashore at the same time as him.
The longboard that only allowed the two to pass by made a loud noise behind them, and in an instant, all the boats were submerged in the lake.
Shen Tingnian held on to the trees on the shore and gasped for a few breaths, and vomited two mouthfuls of sour water, she had seasickness since she was a child.
When she felt relieved, she barely stood up straight, and when she looked up, she saw Pu Yangxu who looked ugly outside three steps away.
There was embarrassment in the air.
"You just have to rest assured, I will protect you......"
"I will also protect my husband."
I don't know who walked neatly and completely forgot about the other person, and I don't know who dared to squeeze without even looking at who was next to him when he fled for his life......
As long as they are embarrassed by each other, it is not embarrassment, and when this atmosphere that cannot be dissolved, a heavier suspicion will follow.
Such a sudden change would change color even if it was Pu Yangxu, but Shen Tingnian could have no different color on his face.
How did Shen Tingnian come out when the ship was bombed? To be able to follow his footsteps and land on the shore in such a short period of time, what did it take to develop such a reaction...... The sudden burst of distracting thoughts was like a mess of grass, and it took a long time for Pu Yangxu to hear his still calm voice: "You don't have anything to say?" ”
Shen Tingnian's palms were moist from his gaze, and he was breathing calmly, when he heard the words, he threw himself into his arms like a bird throwing into the forest, stretched out his hand to wrap around his waist, and hung on him all over his body.
In fact, Shen Tingnian hugged him hard for a while, but sometimes, people can experience too much in one moment, so that they think that that moment is eternal.
Shen Tingnian let go of Pu Yangxu, took two steps back, and said in an extremely calm voice: "You don't have to look at me like this, although it was a moment of life and death just now, if something happens to people, different people will react differently." ”
And it just so happens that she is an unusual person, that is, the more dangerous and urgent the more calm and calm, but after the crisis is resolved, there will be some belated reactions, just now she is weak and panicked, so she will take the initiative to hug him.
Her statement made Pu Yangxu feel uncomfortable, and he reached out and rubbed Shen Tingnian's hair, as if he wanted to say something to her, but as if he couldn't say anything.
When he was a child, he was taken around the capital by Ah Weng Weifu, and Ah Weng pointed to all kinds of people in the world to teach him what kind of people should be punished and what kind of people should be selected to govern one side...... Pu Yangxu thought in a trance, it turned out that compared with the weak and powerless people, those who encountered great suffering and swallowed blood and tears in their stomachs were more distressing.
He didn't speak, for Shen Tingnian, it couldn't be better, she didn't need any words, a hug was enough.
Puff - After cleaning up, the commander of the escort team fell to his knees this time, "Please punish Your Highness, the ship was buried." ”
Pu Yangxu said lightly: "Go check." ”
He wanted to know which person was so capable of fishing in troubled waters that he wanted to kill Shen Tingnian right under his nose.
It was obvious that the target of this bombing ship was not Pu Yangxu, he was already on the deck at that time, and he could land in a few steps, and Shen Tingnian was indeed in the cabin, close to the bow of the ship.
