Chapter 7: Escaped

Shen Junyu was stunned. He had never thought about this question, and now that Chu Jiangli brought it up, it made him feel that it was his fault.

Indeed, if he didn't believe what Chu Jiangli said, then even if she was telling the truth, he would conclude that it was false. But if what she said is false, and she takes it seriously, it will be even more meaningless.

For a moment, the room fell silent. Chu Jiangli didn't speak, Shen Junyu didn't say anything, Bai Yiwen was cold, and only one Zhang Xu was left, who was also twisting his goatee with his hand, as if he was thinking about something.

Before long, Zhang Xu suddenly walked towards Shen Junyu and stood on his side. Then he saluted and said: "Lord, Miss Chu's eyes are upright, and there is no trace of treacherous hypocrisy in her body, and the old minister believes that she has no malicious intentions, but she will break into the palace by accident." If you don't pursue it anymore, it will also appear that you are magnanimous. ”

"Teacher?" Shen Junyu looked at his teacher in surprise, a little puzzled why he would say such a thing. But before he could ask, he saw that his teacher was facing him again and made a deep gesture.

This really shocked Shen Junyu, and he didn't understand why Zhang Xu would plead with him so much for a woman of unknown origin.

But Zhang Xu's bow did not get up by himself, but kept his previous posture. So Shen Junyu had no choice but to put down the doubts in his stomach first, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Xu up: "Teacher, what are you doing, please get up quickly." ”

Zhang Xu used Shen Junyu's strength to regain his footing. But as soon as he stood firm, he wanted to speak again: "Lord Wang......"

"Teacher," this time Shen Junyu didn't wait for Zhang Xu to finish speaking, and directly interrupted him, "It's not that I want this, it's just that I can't take risks." ”

The implication is that he doesn't want to be a bad guy either, as long as Chu Jiangli is willing to cooperate and reveal his identity and disposition, he will definitely not embarrass her. But she herself was unwilling to cooperate, and he had no choice.

As he spoke, Shen Junyu turned around again, waved his hand at Bai Yiwen, and said, "Go ahead." ”

"Wait!" Seeing that Bai Yiwen was about to leave with Chu Jiangli again, Zhang Xu couldn't hold back, so after stopping their steps again, he turned around and looked at Shen Junyu seriously, and said, "In this case, the old minister is willing to guarantee Miss Chu." ”

"Master Zhang!" Bai Yiwen was dissatisfied with Zhang Xu's repeated words for Chu Jiangli. What's more, looking at the current situation, Zhang Xu is nothing to say for Chu Jiangli, and he is even willing to take risks for her.

As for Chu Jiangli, since Zhang Xu started to speak for her, she hasn't said a word. She just quietly looked at the old and young in front of her, as if she was listening to someone else's story.

"Teacher......" In the face of Zhang Xu's persistence, Shen Junyu was a little helpless, but he still deliberately lowered his voice, leaned close to his ear and said: "You also know the current situation, I really can't take risks." So until I find out who she is, it's impossible for me not to pursue it. ”

In the words, every sentence is categorical.

Zhang Xu also looked at Shen Junyu helplessly, and then stole his eyes to Chu Jiangli's body, and said in the same intentional voice as he was: "Lord Wang, I believe that Miss Chu is not a bad person. If something bad happens to you if you let her go, then the old minister is willing to take all the responsibility. ”

Although both of them deliberately kept their voices down, the distance between them was a little too close. In addition, Chu Jiangli and Bai Yiwen are both deaf and clear-sighted people, so they can hear the conversation between the two clearly.

It was precisely because he heard the conversation between the two that Chu Jiangli, who had been deaf to him and seemed to have nothing to do with himself, finally glanced down slightly and focused on the two of them.

"No way!" Who knew that Shen Junyu suddenly raised his voice, and said very certainly: "Teacher, if something bad really happens, it will be too late at that time." I think...... I'd rather kill by mistake than misplace. ”

As he spoke, Shen Junyu's tone changed, and even his body seemed to be surrounded by a murderous aura. It was as if he had suddenly remembered something, and suddenly all the vibes changed.

"Yiwen." Shen Junyu looked at Bai Yiwen and winked at him.

Bai Yiwen received the order from his own prince, and of course he understood what it meant. didn't talk much nonsense, pushed Chu Jiangli and walked out. And as if he was infected, there was also a murderous aura on his body.

Looking at this posture, it seems that Shen Junyu doesn't want to be here anymore to talk to General Chu, so he wants to kill her first to prevent future troubles.

But it was clear that his life was at stake, and Chu Jiangli, who was still a little unstable before, didn't even say a word at this time. can look at her expression, neither like a heroic death, nor a frightened reaction. Not even the slightest expression was revealed.

She was so calm and calm, quiet and not like her at all.

"Wait, don't go!"

Zhang Xu originally thought that if Chu Jiangli was willing to open his mouth, he would say a few more good words to Shen Junyu, and finally cooperate to tell them who she was, and this matter would be considered in the past.

He fully understood Shen Junyu's mentality of not daring to take risks now, and he also knew that Shen Junyu would not really embarrass a person who had no threat to him, so he wanted to live in the middle of this and deal with this matter in the past.

Since the first time he met with Chu Jiangli, he felt that she had a very unique temperament, but it was indescribable. Later, when the third prince came to visit, he hid in the inner room with them in order to avoid suspicion, but he saw her who was babbling like a machine gun, and sat there very quietly without making noise.

Then the difficulties of the three princes, they heard it clearly in the inner room, but they didn't know how to help their own princes out of the siege. At this time, she didn't care about her previous suspicions, pulled Bai Yiwen's clothes to teach him what to do, and even in order to reassure Bai Yiwen, she was willing to say that if she was not at ease, she could tie her up first.

At that time, he saw her calmness, wisdom, and her general understanding of advance and retreat.

Later, when everyone had left the courtyard, the two of them returned to the hall together. Because he was bored, he chatted with her for a few words, and it was from this that he discovered her humor.

It's too rare to see such a special girl. From that time on, he had the intention of leaving this girl behind, and always felt that she would definitely bring them more surprises.

But now, her constant non-cooperation really gives him a headache.

There was no way, Zhang Xu had to speak out again to stop Bai Yiwen's footsteps, and then walked to Chu Jiangli's side and bowed deeply to Shen Junyu: "Lord, the old minister has never asked you for anything." But today, the old minister begged the prince to let Miss Chu go. If you are not at ease, you can leave Miss Chu in the mansion, you don't have to ......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Xu paused and squinted his eyes to observe Chu Jiangli's expression. But what he saw was still an expressionless person.

Shen Junyu kept looking at his teacher, silent and did not reply. After a long time, he finally exhaled a breath and said faintly: "Since this is the case, then follow the teacher's wishes......"

"Lord Wang?!" Bai Yiwen didn't expect his prince to agree in the end, and he was a little stunned for a while.

But Shen Junyu seemed to be tired, so he waved his hand at him weakly, and whispered, "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow." Teacher, she ...... It's up to you to settle it. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Zhang Xu didn't say those superfluous nonsense of thanks, he just thanked Shen Junyu for a while, and then asked Bai Yiwen to let go of Chu Jiangli, and then led her outside.

Chu Jiangli still didn't say anything, but honestly followed behind Zhang Xu and let him lead him outside.

The palace is very large, so there are many corridors that go around and around, and if you don't talk all the way, the atmosphere is really a little weird. So along the way, Zhang Xu made some small introductions to Chu Jiangli. Chu Jiangli has been listening quietly, and only when necessary, will he reply with an "um".

Just like that, Zhang Xu led General Chu to a small courtyard and took her into the small hall inside.

"Miss Chu, this is the guest courtyard in the palace, you can settle here tonight, and wait until tomorrow, and then I will ask the servants to clean up a special courtyard for you. It's late today, you can rest early, and I'll have someone bring you some medicine later. ”

After explaining carefully, Zhang Xu was about to step out of the door and leave. And Chu Jiangli, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stopped Zhang Xu when he stepped out of the door with one foot.

"Master Zhang......"

"Huh?" Seeing that Chu Jiangli, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up, Zhang Xu immediately turned around and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Miss Chu?" ”

“…… It's nothing," Chu Jiangli pursed his lips slightly, and said with a smile, "Lord Zhang, you and my grandfather are really similar to ......"

"yes, that's why you confessed your mistake in the first place." Hearing Chu Jiangli mention this, Zhang Xu smiled generously, and stretched out his hand again to roll up his goatee: "That's nothing, I'll leave first." As he spoke, he wanted to turn around and go back, but was stopped by her again.

"Master Zhang, why are you talking for me?"

Why? Zhang Xu glanced at Chu Jiangli seriously, and suddenly smiled happily: "Maybe, it's because we are fated." Look, don't I look like your grandfather? Miss Chu, don't worry, I will help you get your brand back like the prince. ”

"Well, thank you." Chu Jiangli sincerely thanked him.

"You're welcome." After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he didn't stay here any longer and walked towards the court. He hadn't taken a few steps before he heard the sound of the door closing behind him. After a slight pause, Zhang Xu turned around and returned to Shen Junyu's courtyard from another path.

Seeing Zhang Xu leaving from the screen window on the door, Chu Jiangli gently latched the door. But at the corners of her mouth, there was a faint and unpredictable smile.

Is there a fate?

Perhaps.
