Chapter 246 He Is Also Reborn
Shen Yu was silent for a moment, "Find someone to keep an eye on Jiang Lianzhi. If he makes any unusual movements, report to me immediately."
Xiao Chuan nodded, "The guard beside him is good at martial arts. When the princess held a knife to his neck before, the guard wanted to attack."
"His follower is called Gao Jin, and his swordsmanship is pretty good."
Xiao Chuan did not ask why she knew so much.
"By the way." Shen Yu said again, "The farthest point you shot the arrow at before, back five meters, if the northwest wind comes, are you sure you can shoot that place?"
Xiao Chuan thought for a moment, "I haven't tried it, but it should work. Is the princess going to dig a ditch there? Or use kerosene?"
"Don't worry." Shen Yu hadn't made up her mind yet. The ditch had to be dug, it was a matter of time, "Let's wait and see, and follow me to check the military equipment later."
Not long after, Cao Guangjin sent someone to invite the two to a banquet.
Jiang Lianzhi arrived today, Cao Guangjin held a banquet in the mansion to entertain him, but he was afraid of neglecting Shen Yu by inviting Jiang Lianzhi alone, mainly because he couldn't afford to offend anyone, and didn't want to offend anyone.
This is the disadvantage of being a fence-sitter. Before the final decision is made, he doesn't want to take sides, so he has to coax both sides to act like a grandson.
He still has to pretend. Cao Guangjin thought that Shen Yu probably wouldn't come, but when it was time for dinner, Shen Yu and Xiao Chuan actually came.
Cao Guangjin didn't know what to do for a while, for fear that they would have a quarrel during dinner later.
"Princess, please come this way, General Xiao." The housekeeper led the way in front, "Today, my master has set up the banquet on the waterside pavilion. Opposite the waterside pavilion is the stage. You two can drink and listen to the opera."
Xiao Chuan is a straightforward person, "Your master is really good at enjoying himself."
The housekeeper didn't know how to respond to this, and laughed dryly and reminded, "Watch out for the steps."
Passing through the moon-shaped door, the waterside pavilion is not far away.
But the maids came out one after another, holding trays, and took the banquet out of the waterside pavilion.
The housekeeper was puzzled, and said, "Wait a moment, both of you," and then went forward to ask.
The housekeeper came back after a while and led the two to another place.
"Why change places?" Xiao Chuan bit a piece of grass that he had pulled from somewhere.
The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Please forgive me, General Xiao, it was Lord Jiang who ordered to change places. I heard that Lord Jiang's first wife was drowned in the lake, which led to Lord Jiang's..."
"Nonsense." Xiao Chuan mocked, "Didn't he Jiang Ji marry? Where did he get a first wife?"
Shen Yu couldn't hear anything after that.
She just felt like a basin of cold water was poured over her head, and she shivered with cold.
"Princess, Princess?"
"Hmm?" Shen Yu didn't know how many times she had called Xiao Chuan before she came back to her senses.
Xiao Chuan looked a little surprised, "The princess doesn't look very good, are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Yu tried her best to calm her breathing, but she still felt cold sweat coming out layer by layer.
"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that there are some things that have not been arranged." Shen Yu calmed down, "Please tell your master that I will not attend the banquet today."
Shen Yu turned and left, and Xiao Chuan did not stop, "Tell your master that I will not go either."
Shen Yu and Xiao Chuan's horses had not been led into the stable. When she stepped on the horse a few times, she failed to step on it. It was Xiao Chuan who helped her onto the horse.
Xiao Chuan was worried and rode his horse to follow her. He saw her staring blankly at the front with a wandering look.
"Huh?" Chang Liu was eating noodles, "Princess, why are you back?"
Shen Yu looked past him with a dull look and went into the room.
Seeing that something was wrong, Chang Liu put down the bowl and rushed to the door, and Xiao Chuan was also walking in.
"What happened to the princess?" Changliu asked, "Didn't she go to a banquet? Did Cao Guangjin and that Jiang bully her?"
Xiao Chuan hadn't figured out the situation yet, "How should I know? The princess said she would come back when we first arrived."
Xiao Chuan thought for a moment, "It seems..."
"Wait a minute." Changliu ran into the room, took out a pen and paper, and slapped the paper against the wall.
"You tell me, I'll write."
Xiao Chuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you doing?"
"Changliu's expression was solemn, "I have to write it down and report it to the prince later."
"..."Xiao Chuan was speechless for a moment.
"Hurry up and tell me." Changliu urged anxiously with a pen, "My ink is almost dry."
Xiao Chuan gave a general account of the situation at the time, and Changliu wrote quickly, and said only after he finished writing.
"I know."
"What do you know? "
Changliu blew the ink off the paper, "Before I left, the prince told me that the princess is afraid of water and has fallen into the water before. She was probably scared when she heard that a man named Jiang's wife drowned. "
It made sense, but Xiao Chuan felt that it was not very reasonable to apply it to Shen Yu, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
He stared at the door for a moment and said, "You stay with your master, I'll go on patrol, and let someone come to me if there's anything. "
Shen Yu sat in the room, and had not changed her posture for a long time.
It was already dark outside, and there was no light in the room, it was pitch black.
There were very light footsteps outside, and someone lit a lantern.
As the lantern moved, the snarling shadows of the trees circled the wall, and her nightmares strangely gathered together at Yanliang Pass.
If she could be reborn, what about Jiang Lianzhi? Could he be the same?
At first, she thought it was a gift from fate when she was reborn, until the tragedy happened again, and she gradually realized that some trajectories could not be changed by her alone.
Fate never showed mercy to people, and it still took the old path.
Those trajectories that were different from the previous life must have been manipulated by a hand behind the scenes.
The letter Jiang Lianzhi wrote to Xie Tingzhou for help, and the inexplicable words he said on the city wall, all had reasonable explanations.
She had always ignored Jiang Lianzhi as a person. Perhaps it should be said that it was Jiang Lianzhi's first move after his rebirth that misled her.
Jiang Lian didn't like her in his previous life. If he was Jiang Lianzhi in his previous life, how could he come to propose marriage?
So when was he reborn?
Shen Yu's head hurt a lot, and her mind was in a mess.
She hoped that Xie Tingzhou could be by her side at this moment, so she wouldn't have to think about anything.
Xie Tingzhou was her refuge, her home, the light in the dark night, and the lonely boat that she docked in her desperate journey.
At this moment, Jiang Lianzhi and his men knocked on the gate of the courtyard, and it was Si Xi who opened the door.
"Oh, it's Lord Jiang." Si Xi held the door frame, and said respectfully, but he didn't mean to let him in. "Lord Jiang, you're here so late at night, what's the matter?"
"I heard that the princess was unwell, so I brought a doctor here."
Behind Jiang Lianzhi were guards and an old doctor carrying a medicine box.
The old doctor bowed and stepped forward, "I'm a doctor from Huichuntang in the city. I usually see patients at Lord Cao's house."
Si Xi was smooth, and nodded with a smile, "Then he must have great medical skills, but our princess is not sick, there's no need to see her. It's getting late and it's cold outside, Lord Jiang should go back."
