Chapter 184: Being in the Trap (2)
"Yesterday...... Did you go and see me enter the city? The man in front of him asked seriously, with a bit of solemn expectation.
Izumi was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to blurt out denial, but when the words came to his lips, he thought about it, since Shen Yu asked out, he must be sure that there was something to do, so it was meaningless for him to deny it. Thinking like this, Izuku had to nod and reply: "Well, I went, I haven't seen the momentum of the army's triumph, and I want to see it." ”
Shen Yu saw that she was calm and light, how could he believe it, and asked again: "Then did you see me enter the city?" ”
"When I saw it, it was shocking and beautiful." Izumi lowered her eyebrows and thought about it, and thought that she was too bland, so she barely pulled out a smile, I don't know if it was against her will or praised sincerely: "The white horse and silver helmet, majestic and awe-inspiring, I can't even recognize it." ”
"What else?" Shen Yu stared at her.
"Huh? What else? Izuku pretended to be puzzled.
"You don't see anyone else?" Shen Yu frowned slightly, reluctant to ask.
Izuku was still smiling, only to feel that his cheeks were a little stiff, but he still pretended to think about it seriously, and replied: "The army is solemn, the army is majestic, King Cheng is strict in governing the army, and you lead the troops well." ”
"What else?" Shen Yu stared straight at Izuxiu, refusing to let go of the slightest change in expression on her face.
"And ......" Izuku pondered for a moment before continuing: "King Cheng's fresh clothes are angry and high-spirited, and after estimating this battle, his prestige in the court has increased again. ”
Shen Yu heard that Xiu Yue was talking more and more out of the point, and even mentioned Nie Peixiao, and couldn't help but turn pale: "Then?" Nothing else? ”
"Huh? What does this mean? Izuku asked rhetorically.
Shen Yu didn't want to continue selling Guanzi, so he made his words clear: "When I returned to the city yesterday, I brought back a woman, did you see her?" ”
Bring back a woman...... Hearing this, the scene flashed in her mind - Shen Yu personally helped the woman in the chariot to get out of the car, her white jade hands and light green skirt shining dazzlingly in the sunlight. In particular, Shen Yu still held her hand, and spoke softly and tenderly.
After a day, Rao is looking back at this moment, and Izuku has to admit that just that one back looks like a good match for Shen Yu. However, Xiu didn't plan to tell him this, so Zhu Zi pursed his lips slightly and stared for a moment, then asked with a soft smile: "Oh? You brought a woman back? ”
"Didn't you see that?" At this moment, Shen Yu clearly saw an indiscernible luster flashing in his eyes, so his eyebrows frowned.
Izuxiu's smile did not change, and he only shook his head slowly: "When I saw the 10,000 vanguard troops withdraw to the west of the city, I left." You also know that I also made an appointment with the Ming brothers and sisters yesterday, so I didn't delay too long in the Drunken Immortal Building. ”
What I said seemed to be true and not true, false and not false, it was difficult to distinguish between true and false, and Shen Yu also seemed to believe it and doubted it. He thought to himself that if Zhuying was still there, he would definitely go to verify it privately, but unfortunately Zhuying and Zhuyang had gone out on vacation......
Shen Yu pondered for a moment, and was about to open his mouth to explain about Zihan, but he heard Xiu Ji continue to laugh and said: "Actually, it is good to meet the right woman, you have no relationship with Xiangrong, after all, it is not a long-term thing, if you have a favorite woman, she can take care of your daily life with the army, it is really good." ”
Hearing this, Shen Yu's face changed suddenly: "Do you really think so?" ”
"Well, I really think so." Chuxiu no longer looked at him, only lowered his eyes and looked at his teacup, and stretched out his hand to try it: "This tea is cold, I will let the maid come in to change the tea." As she spoke, she beckoned, and immediately a maid came in and replaced the two people's teacups with new ones, and then withdrew.
From beginning to end, Shen Yu didn't say a word again, but the killing aura he had cultivated on the battlefield faintly emanated, which made Izumi feel a chill hit him for no reason.
There was silence in the room for a long time, and the atmosphere became more and more awkward. Seeing that they had nothing to say to each other, Chuxiu got up and said, "I haven't finished the chores at hand, so I'll go to Qingxinzhai first." You have just returned to the city yesterday, and you must be tired, so go back and rest early. ”
Shen Yu was still silent when he heard this, so he got up from the chair and walked towards the door with a fixed mind. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to Shen Yu's side, he suddenly grabbed an arm, and his hand was extremely strong.
Looking at Shen Yu again, he was still sitting on the chair and not moving, only the left hand that was dragging out Xiu's arm was slightly raised, faintly trembling. Izumi lowered her eyes to look at him, and had a premonition that something unpleasant would happen between the two, so she had the heart to avoid it. She restrained her emotions and didn't dare to leak them, so she pretended to smile indifferently and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
Shen Yu's face was dark, sharp as a blade, and finally slowly raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes seemed to hide a cold lake in late autumn, cold and a little hurtful. Shen Yu knew that he had to be calm at the moment, at least he couldn't question the relationship between Chuxiu and Nie Peixiao, so he had to confess himself: "She is not my favorite woman, who do I like, don't you know?" ”
This sentence inexplicably made Chuxiu's heart tighten, as if something suddenly knocked her heart open. It's obviously not an affectionate sentence, and it's even worse than the thousands of love words that Shen Yu said before, but for some reason, Izuku clearly remembered this sentence, this scene, and the expression of the person who spoke at this moment.
Many years later, she recalled her love-hate entanglement with Shen Yu, and many past episodes had become vague shadows, but what happened at this moment, Shen Yu's expression and language, she remembered it very clearly, inexplicably clear.
Izuku deliberately wanted to avoid his deep eyes, but she still unconsciously crashed into that deep gaze. It felt as if Shen Yu had really accumulated a pool of late autumn lake water in her eyes, and she jumped into it unconsciously, drowning and unable to save herself.
This thought came to mind, and Izumi was also taken aback by herself. She immediately pulled her arm out of Shen Yu's hand, answered the question, and replied, "I really still have chores to do, so I can't delay any longer." ”
"Han Chu, your excuse is really far-fetched." Shen Yu pointed out bluntly.
Izumi pursed her lips and was silent for a moment before she said again: "What I said is the truth, if you think so, I can't help it...... But I'm really going to Chingshinzhai. ”
As soon as these words came out, Shen Yu was almost sure that Izumi was deliberately avoiding talking about the woman he brought back. This realization made him more convinced of what Mrs. Tai said - Izumi was concerned about himself; But her avoidance is enough to show that she is determined to get rid of herself.
Shen Yu felt that maybe Xiu was special to him, but it wasn't too special, at least not so special that she took the initiative to take a difficult step. However, she doesn't take the initiative, and it is the same if he takes the initiative......
Thinking like this, Shen Yu finally stood up, grabbed Chuxiu's arm again, and explained beyond doubt: "Listen! Zihan is my life-saving benefactor, I was poisoned in Jiangdi and almost died, it was she who saved me. ”
Poisoning to death? So serious? Izumi was shocked and wanted to say something of concern, but when the words came to her mouth, they became: "What are you telling me about?" I don't want to know. ”
Shen Yu ignored it and continued to explain: "Zihan's mother is from the Jiang clan, but her father is not, so she does not have obvious Jiang blood, and she has been repeatedly discriminated against in Jiangdi...... Her biological father abandoned them at an early age, and her mother died...... Zihan saved my life, she begged me to take her away, and I couldn't ignore it. ”
Shen Yu's explanation was reasonable, and Chu Xiu couldn't tell how he felt when he heard the words. In fact, she didn't want to continue listening, but she couldn't take a step, so she could only reply softly: "You did the right thing, you should settle her well." ”
Shen Yu didn't speak again, feeling that he had explained enough, but Chuxiu suddenly remembered the scene he saw yesterday. At least, the woman in green can stand side by side with Shen Yu openly, regardless of human ethics, let alone worrying about the gossip of the world. What's more, there is no man named "Yunci" between the two.
Thinking of this, I thought of everything Yun Ci had done for himself, as well as the 50 million taels of gold...... As if he had been hit hard in the chest, his heart staggered, and he almost suffocated in pain again.
I want to forget but can't forget, the memory buried in the depths of my mind has long been deeply rooted in my bones and blood, and every touch is heartbreaking.
Izuku tried to shake off Shen Yu's arm again, but the other party held it extremely tightly. She could only reluctantly ask: "You let go." ”
Shen Yu didn't speak, nor did he make any movements, he just looked at her firmly, his eyes burning.
In the afternoon, the sound of cicadas outside the window came and went, bringing the increasingly hot sunlight into the house, which also made Xiu feel irritable, anxious, uneasy, and even apprehensive. Her arm was still against Shen Yu's palm, and although she was through her clothes, she could feel the scorching temperature in his palm.
A sense of guilt arose spontaneously, and Izuku struggled again, not forgetting to reprimand: "General Shen, please respect yourself." ”
Shen Yu smiled lonely, as if mocking: "You finally stop calling me 'uncle'." ”
"You can listen to it if you want." Not to be outdone, Izumi was still struggling.
"Han Chu!" Shen Yu felt that she had been unreasonable in the past two days: "I said so much, what else did you misunderstand?" ”
"I'm not mistaken." Izumi had no choice but to stop resisting for the time being, and patiently explained: "I think that since ancient times, heroes have saved beauty, and beauties have promised each other with their bodies; Although you and the girl in green are reversed, they are beautiful people saving heroes, but it does not prevent her from making promises with her body, so that you can take better care of her. ”
As soon as Xiu's words came out, Shen Yu felt as if he had been slashed in his heart, but almost at the same time, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately grasped the key point of her words, so he blurted out urgently: "How do you know that she is wearing green?" What color did she wear when she went into town yesterday, and how do you know it? ”
