Your Highness, has he stopped today?

Immediately afterwards, the assassin fought with the team led by the young man. Only then did Lu Zheyu realize that the assassin had finally used his killer move, and they were indeed delaying time.

Lu Zheyu deflected the sword that was coming at him. He was about to enter the post station to see how Yan Lingjun was doing. An assassin fell from the roof, and the blade went straight to his heart. Lu Zheyu had no time to block it with his sword, so he could only look sideways. He wanted to hide, but he couldn't completely dodge it in a blink of an eye. Seeing that the blade was about to pierce his shoulder, at this moment, the assassin's movements suddenly froze there, with a feathered arrow nailed between his eyebrows, and then he fell down suddenly.

Lu Zheyu looked back, and saw the young man put down the crossbow without haste.

The boy was well protected by his subordinates, and those assassins couldn't get close to him at all.

In the end, more than half of the assassins were killed or injured, and the boy's subordinates captured a few alive, and a few fled.

The young man in light armor came over with a crossbow in hand, looked up and down at Lu Zheyu with raised eyelids, with a somewhat dignified look at the end of his eyes: "Aren't you hurt?"

It was late, and the night was shrouded in darkness. Under the still bright moonlight, the young man's handsome appearance was revealed.

"Your Excellency is..." Lu Zheyu hesitated for a moment when he saw his outstanding appearance and extraordinary arrow skills.

The boy didn't speak, but a tall guard standing beside him spoke. "My Highness is the Sixth Prince of Chu."

When Lu Zheyu heard the words, he quickly ran through the names of the members of the royal family of Chu State in his mind.Shi Yunjing, the sixth prince of the Chu Kingdom, was the son of Emperor Cheng'an's original spouse, Empress Wende, and was only sixteen years old.

Lu Zheyu narrowed his eyes, cupped his hands and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Your Highness Sixth Highness, for your help."

Shi Yunjing glanced sideways at his subordinates, and raised his jaw slightly as a signal. "Go and see if anyone is hurt inside."

Several guards led the way.

"Do you know the origin of the assassin?" Shi Yunjing asked while standing aside with folded arms.

"I don't know." Lu Zheyu shook his head.

At this time, several subordinates came to ask how to deal with those survivors. Shi Yunjing frowned and considered for a moment before saying: "Take them back to the palace overnight and send them to Dali Temple for interrogation. Be careful, don't let them commit suicide."

"Yes!"

Yan Lingjun was still hiding in the corner, and when he heard the sound of fighting gradually subside, he was about to get up and go outside to check the situation, but suddenly his calf became numb. A cut was made. Although the wound was not deep, a little blood was still stained on the cloth.

Yan Lingjun rubbed his tingling calf and wanted to stand up, but he couldn't use the strength anyway. At this moment, a shadow was suddenly hidden in front of him. He looked up and saw a tall man dressed as a guard. He held out his hand.Yan Lingjun was startled for a moment, raised his arm to hold the hand, and stood up with his strength, the guard let go of his hand politely.Immediately afterwards, he seemed to see the blood on his arm, his face remained unmoved, and then he took a cloud pattern porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to him: "You are injured."

Yan Lingjun was slightly startled, he took the porcelain bottle and opened it, and sure enough, there was a scent of medicine. He has always been proficient in medical skills, and this golden sore medicine is Tianjisan, which is unique to Chu.Seeing that he was hesitant, the guard thought that he was suspicious of the medicine, so he said, "I'm Chu Heng, the Sixth Prince's personal guard."

Only then did Yan Lingjun come to his senses, no wonder the fighting outside the house gradually subsided, it turned out that it was Shi Yunjing from Chu State who came to help.He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the medicine."

Chu Heng returned a salute: "This subordinate is following orders, and the young master's wounds should be dealt with in time."

Lu Zheyu sent someone to count the wounded soldiers. Fortunately, the guards escorting them suffered no serious casualties, and the young masters were all intact, but Shi Yunjing's guards were more seriously injured.

After tossing all night, the night gradually darkened without knowing it, and everyone was exhausted.Lu Zheyu ordered his subordinates to tidy up the messy inn. Shi Yunjing, who was standing aside, gave him a sideways glance: "What are you cleaning up? Do you think people can still live here?"

Lu Zheyu lived in the Chen Palace for a period of time before, and he knew the arrogant temperament of these princes and princesses best, but now facing the sixth highness, he had to bear his temper and said: "This is the only one here. If you don’t stay here, you can only sleep on the street.”

Shi Yunjing turned his head and asked the guard beside him: "Where is the nearest station from here?"

The subordinate responded respectfully: "Huan County, thirty miles to the south."

Shi Yunjing looked sideways, and looked at Lu Zheyu very arrogantly: "Can we start?"

Lu Zheyu raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "It's almost Haishi, if you don't delay His Highness's rest, it's okay to be here."

Shi Yunjing raised her chin and glanced at him, trying to reveal a trace of impatience from his eyes, but she couldn't see anything.In fact, if it was on a normal day, he would do whatever he could, but today he came to meet the hostages from Chu, he never thought that he would be so indifferent as a hostage.Shi Yunjing played with the crossbow in his hand and asked casually, "What's your name?"

"Dingyuan Houfu, Lu Zheyu."

"Oh? You are Lu Zheyu?" Shi Yunjing folded his arms and paced beside him leisurely, chuckling, "A frail scholar with good skills, he is worthy of being someone who has been on the battlefield."

Lu Zheyu closed his eyes and smiled lightly: "Your Highness is too famous. How can you be brave when you are a defeated general?"

Shi Yunjing took a few steps closer and raised his chin: "Since you are the defeated general, then listen to me."

Afterwards, Shi Yunjing threw the crossbow in his hand to his subordinate, got on his horse, looked down at Lu Zheyu from a high position, but said to his subordinate: "Let's go."

The meaning is obvious, he just wants to live in the post station thirty miles away.

Lu Zheyu clasped his hands together, took a meaningful look at the man on the horse, turned around and settled the crowd, got into the carriage himself, and quietly followed Shi Yunjing and his group.

The speed of driving in the middle of the night is not as fast as that in the daytime. The carriage was traveling slowly. Unknowingly, it has been driving for more than half an hour. It is already the third quarter of the Hai. It was reflected on the young man in light armor in front of him.

Lu Zheyu lowered the curtain.After the assassin incident, he had no sleepiness for a long time.I had to sit in the carriage with my eyes closed and meditate.At this time, many things flashed through his mind like a horse on horseback. He thought about what his father and Taifu had said to him before he came to Chudi, thought about the origin of today's assassins, and thought about the future. What kind of situation is the state of Chu, or the Sixth Highness, who really doesn't look like an easy-going lord...

Lu Zheyu sighed involuntarily, just as he was thinking, the curtain of the car was lifted suddenly again, Lu Zheyu opened his eyes, and it turned out to be the difficult master.

"...Your Highness?"

Shi Yunjing got into his carriage unceremoniously, sat there as if no one else was there, leaned against the cushions, and found a comfortable position: "My king is sleepy, I will lend you the carriage."

Lu Zheyu was taken aback, but he didn't expect that His Highness would not treat him as an outsider, or not treat himself as an outsider.He stood up, bowed and saluted: "In that case, Your Highness, please rest well and go down to ride a horse."

Lu Zheyu was about to get off the car, but Shi Yunjing said coldly: "Stop."

"...What orders does Your Highness have?"

Shi Yunjing raised her eyebrows: "Do you dislike me taking up space here? Or is it that this carriage can't carry two people?"

It's not that they can't get along with each other, but the dislike is real.Lu Zheyu thought this way, he would rather ride a horse, or share a carriage with Yan Lingjun, than be with this arrogant sixth prince.Although he thought so in his heart, he said politely: "Of course not. There is a difference between honor and inferiority. It is not polite for His Highness to share a carriage with his ministers."

Lu Zheyu knew that he was difficult to deal with, but he didn't want him to be so difficult, so Shi Yunjing stretched out his long legs and blocked his way: "I told you not to let you get out of the car, but I want to see what you want Down."

"..."

Lu Zheyu looked at the long legs lying in front of her with narrowed eyes, tried her best to restrain her urge to jump out of the carriage through the window, held back her emotions and saluted, "Yes."

Lu Zheyu had already experienced the assassin's accident along the way, and Lu Zheyu really didn't want to have any more troubles.

Seeing that he was still obedient, Shi Yunjing retracted his legs, and Lu Zheyu found a place to sit down.The carriage was still advancing at a leisurely pace, the night was getting darker, and there was no one on the post road except them, making it even more quiet.

Xu Shi rode a horse for a day today, but Shi Yunjing was indeed tired.He leaned on the carriage, closed his eyes, and gradually fell asleep with fatigue.

Lu Zheyu listened to the steady breathing until Yunjing had already fallen asleep.He wondered whether he should get out of the carriage while he was asleep, the carriage was surrounded by personal guards brought by Shi Yunjing, and there was really no need for him to stay in the carriage and "look after" him personally.

Thinking like this, Lu Zheyu was about to get up and get out of the carriage quietly, when Yunjing suddenly tilted his body and leaned on Lu Zheyu's shoulder.

Lu Zheyu: "..."

He froze.

It seems that this car can't get off.
