My Master Jinyiwei

Chapter 74

It was raining, and the sky and the earth were shrouded in mist, and the traces of all things faded away in the misty rain.The cold dampness hits, and the cold wind blows the drenched clothes.Xu Shijin raised the umbrella a little higher and raised his head more clearly.

The scattered lights all over the street, in the sparsely falling rainwater, lined up, one by one, one by one, illuminating her without a trace.In the heavy rain, when the bright blade wanted to swipe at her, it was a little scary, but more, it was a lack of interest and a reluctance.

The world was peaceful, Xu Shijin's face was serious, his long eyelashes wetted by rain were raised, and Shen Yu's figure behind him was extremely hazy in the light.In the gray night rain and the passers-by rushing to hide from the rain, he waved to her in the brightest twilight of the lantern.

Feel free to be lazy.

Slack and don't care.

Just like him.

"Girl, are you going?" The beauty who came to call her was a little impatient. The rain was so heavy that even if she had an umbrella, it would still hurt if she hit it diagonally.If it wasn't for Mr. Shen being a frequent visitor and being bold, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to take on the job.This beauty sneaked a look at Xu Shijin, and when Xu Shijin glanced at her, she was taken aback for a moment.

This girl is a beauty, but she can't be called absolutely beautiful, or even eye-catching.The most beautiful are her eyes.It feels like a soul-absorbing dazzle, as clear as frost in the snow, and as dark as a thousand-zhang pond.Black and white, clean and pure.These eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts, one glance, and you have no secrets.

Xu Shijin asked softly, "Did he look at me for a long time before?"

"……"how do you know?

Xu Shijin was in a daze for a while, then smiled, "The brothel."

He invited her to sit in the brothel.

Xu Shijin stepped up and walked towards the ostentatious brothel.I have been walking on the street for so long, and I have been confused on the street for so long.She thought for a long time, but she didn't know where she should go.If someone wants her to sit down, even if it's a brothel she doesn't like, even if that person is Shen Yu, Xu Shijin is willing.

She put away her umbrella, entered the building, and was led upstairs by the brothel girl who called her.This building is very famous in Yejing, and people of all kinds come and go every day, but a girl's house visiting the brothel is not a big news.When Xu Shijin went upstairs numbly, she heard and saw many people pointing at her.

But what does that matter?
She has nothing left to lose.

The passer-by knocked twice on the door of a room. Xu Shijin stood outside the door, and could smell the smell of powder wafting in the air.She heard the voices and singing of the girls in the room, and there was harmony in the chaos.She didn't hear the man's voice.

Xu Shijin's face was pale, and he didn't bother to show his usual smile.

After a long time, I heard a very faint "hmm" sound from inside, and the door opened.

She walked in step by step, towards the warm and cozy nest of beauties with the fragrance of wine and lights.This is a very elegantly furnished room, and the utensils are all top-grade.Four or five women were holding the pipa and playing, four or five turned around and danced among the flowers, and another girl sang a tune in a low voice.

A wide and long pear wood table, the noble young master, who is as beautiful as the mountains and rivers in the forest, sits on the long couch behind the table, with his hair crooked, sitting casually, with his hands on his knees, holding chopsticks, and knocking on the clear water bowl on the table , Accompanied by the sound of the song, there is a rhythmic Qingyue sound.He lowered his eyes, surrounded by three or two beauties, some sitting close to him, some peeling fruit to feed him.With a smile on the corner of his mouth, without lifting his elegant face, he greeted Xu Shijin unceremoniously, or told her to sit down.

Xu Shijin pulled out the chair and sat opposite him, watching him surrounded by all kinds of beauties, enjoying the life that men all over the world envy.

Xu Shijin looked at Shen Yu in a daze: They haven't seen each other for a long time.

Did not meet, did not speak.

Their lives did not intersect with each other. Since the divorce that year, Shen Yu seemed to have withdrawn from her life suddenly.

She could often see Shen Yu before, but after retiring, she basically never saw him.

Yejing is a huge place, and if you turn around, you can't find the person you were before.But this circle is also very small, people who lower their heads and raise their heads, casually or deliberately, can always meet each other.

That year Xu Shijin thought: She is a female official in the palace, and Shen Yu is the commander of Jin Yiwei, how could they not meet?How embarrassing to meet again.

In the first year, she felt guilty and worried about what to say when she met Shen Yu again.They have known each other since they were young. They were originally a fiancé couple. After Lao and Yan separated, they shouldn't be separated from each other forever.

In the second year, Xu Shijin understood: Shen Yu didn't want to see her at all.

He has mastered the time so well, every time he enters the palace to face the saint, Xu Shijin is always off duty.When she was on duty, Shen Yu never entered the palace.Later, Xu Shijin left the palace, returned to Xu's house, and returned to the social circle she had left for a long time. She couldn't see Shen Yu anymore—everyone knows that the eldest son of the Shen family is a dissolute man, and his social circle, Definitely not the same as normal people.

He does not intersect with her, so she does not intersect with him.

A girl chatted with her, and when she mentioned Shen Yu, she also hesitated, shook her head and sighed, "Mr. Shen lives too chicly, and no one cares about him. How could he have been the commander of Jinyiwei for so many years like this? He should have been trampled down long ago. Already." The girl beamed with joy, "It's not as good as Shen Yan Lord Shen, that looks like Jin Yiwei..."

In the past, His Highness wanted to bury someone in Jinyiwei, and when he mentioned Shen Yu, he was also full of doubts. He glanced at Xu Shijin, "Mr. Shen... is a talent, but unfortunately he can't be used alone. Xiaojin was engaged to him before. Do you know what kind of person he is?"

Xu Shijin smiled without showing any suspicion on his face, "As your Highness thinks, Mr. Shen is a pawn in the balance of the Shen family. His role as commander is more to pave the way for Lord Shen. He has no power in his hands, and he has no right to His Highness' great cause." It has no effect. This person is a dude, and he can be ignored."

But if Shen Yuruo is really a dandy, he is just a pawn, and it is impossible for him to serve as a commander for so many years without getting involved in Jinyiwei's affairs every day.He is capable, but he doesn't need to be on the right path. His Royal Highness wants to use him, but he can't come up with something that attracts him, so he can only give up.

It was such a person who, after many years, called Xu Shijin to come and sit down.

And it's really "sit", he has no interest in gossiping with her.

Xu Shijin relaxed a little, put his hands on his forehead, leaned against the edge of the table, and was in a daze.

She is not in the mood to talk to people, nor is she interested in putting on a mask.She felt cold and tired, and she wanted to find someone to accompany her, but she didn't know who to find.After Ah Ling left, in Yejing, she didn't even have a single person who could make her relax.

Except for Shen Yu, she didn't know anyone in this room.But it was precisely this atmosphere that made her feel at ease.She needed warmth and now got it.

The night gradually fell, and at some point, Xu Shijin felt that the surroundings had become quiet.She raised her head from her thoughts and looked across.There were so many girls in the room, most of them left at once.Only in twos and threes, they pack tea sets, pianos, chess and other utensils in the house.Shen Yu, who was opposite, looked at her with dark eyes for an unknown how long.

Xu Shijin raised the corner of his mouth, "Hello, Shen Yu."

He poured himself the wine carelessly, staring at her with eyes flickering like ripples on the surface of a lake, and smiled lightly.Mr. Shen is gentle and affectionate, as touching as spring water.He smiled, lazily and extravagantly, very charming.Especially for girls in the world.

After drinking another glass of wine, Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes, and his fair face turned even redder.

Xu Shijin didn't think it was disobedient, put his head on his hands, and smiled softly, "Thank you for inviting me up. Even if it's... sympathy, I'm also very happy."

"No, it's not sympathy. You are my fiancee. We grew up together. I have always cared about your affairs. Seeing that you have fallen into this state, I feel very sorry for you. Even if it is him, it shouldn't be like this Waiting for you." Shen Yan said gently, and leaned forward, holding Xu Shijin's hand across the wide table.The sparks in his eyes were blazing, as if too many suppressed emotions erupted all the way.

He suddenly leaned over, his handsome face enlarged in front of her eyes.He held the girl's hand affectionately, and looked at her affectionately.

Xu Shijin was stunned, confused by the peach blossom eyes he leaned over.Frivolous and frivolous, with the smell of flowers and wine, who can not be confused?
Across a very close distance, the two looked at each other, breathing within an inch of each other.

The calm smile on Xu Shijin's face changed slightly.

He laughed suddenly, threw away her hand, stepped back, fell on the pillow, and poured himself a glass of wine.Lingling raised her eyes halfway, and looked at her with a half-smile, "You think I'll say that? It's all a lie."

Xu Shijin lowered his eyes, his smile could hardly be maintained.

He shook the luminous glass in his hand, and the wine drenched his blurred eyes, "Sympathy? That's a good explanation."

Xu Shijin was speechless.

He stared at her and smiled softly, "Miss Xu is always eloquent, why don't you refute me?"

"Because...you are Shen Yu." Xu Shijin murmured.

The expression hidden in Shen Yu's eyes was slightly startled.

He is Shen Yu.

This is a powerful and irrefutable reason.

Shen Yu looked out the window, it was so dark that he couldn't see everything clearly.

He looked at her like this, as if at the beginning, when Xu Shijin stood blankly on the street, he had already looked at her for a long time.His childhood, was abandoned by his family, but ambitious to prove himself.She is smart and powerful, and she is involved in the government as a woman, and even the prince's heart is in her hands.

She seems to be omnipotent.

But she isn't omnipotent after all.

She stood on the street, looking at Yu in a daze, sad and concerned.

He lost interest for a while, and he was no longer in the mood to talk to her.He was paralyzed, leaning against the table, and fell into his own world.He knew that Xu Shijin was looking at him, but it didn't matter.

Xu Shijin's thoughts were in a mess, staring at Shen Yu, not knowing what to think.In her confusion, she heard him whisper, "Xiao Jin, I am so different from you. I disagree with most of the things you do. Only this time, you are not blinded by the monstrous power." , I still remember my friend, I agree with you."

"...!" Xu Shijin stood in a daze, his whole body was cold, his eyes widened, and he looked at the drunk Mr. Shen.

How would he know what she did?He already knew about the plan before it was exposed, before it happened?Is he the only one who knows, or many people know?Did he know it as Shen Yu, or did he know it as the commander of Jin Yiwei?Did he tell anyone about it, did he inform His Majesty?Will he affect His Highness's plan and affect His Highness's position in His Majesty's heart?
What will His Highness do if the plan fails due to an early leak?He will cause big trouble!
Thinking that His Highness might be affected, Xu Shijin's murderous heart suddenly became uncontrollable.That was her lover, how could she let him suffer?
For a while, Xu Shijin stumbled around the table, walked up to him, bent down and grabbed his arm, almost wanting to wake him up immediately and ask him clearly.But she just touched his body with her hand, and she endured it again, not shaking him awake.

This person is... Shen Yu.

She can attack everyone and kill everyone, but she can't deal with him alone.

He is all her reasons.

Even if he lays hands on her, she can't do anything.

She owed him once and would never owe him a second time.

Xu Shijin stood for a long time, then turned around and walked out.She walked to the door, pushed it open, and heard a mess outside, accompanied by people screaming.The puff of smoke made her choke.

"It's on fire! Put out the fire! Run away!" A boy carrying a bucket ran towards him, and when he saw Xu Shijin who opened the door, he reminded him panting.

Xu Shijin hurriedly looked around, and saw that the tongue of fire downstairs rolled up the gauze curtain and spread quickly.The smoke was thicker and more choking.

Xu Shijin coughed and ran downstairs with the others.When she reached the stairs, she suddenly thought of Shen Yu.He was drunk and unconscious, who would remember to inform him?

She hesitated for a while, and amidst the crowd's push, she turned around abruptly and ran upstairs, colliding with those who were running down several times.Amidst the cries for help, and the dense fog burning, Xu Shijin covered his mouth and nose with his hands, pushing away from room to room to find someone.

"Shen Yu! Shen Yu!"

"Shen Yu! Where are you?"

Xu Shijin didn't care about Shen Yu's emotional integrity, and she didn't feel anything when he was surrounded by beauties before.But now, Xu Shijin hated secretly for the first time, why is Shen Yu so flirtatious?Every room is the same, how does she know which room he is in?Also, this person is really a jerk, he has a rough private life, and he doesn't take a servant with him when he visits a brothel... If something goes wrong, who is responsible?
The fire became smaller and bigger, and before being choked out, Xu Shijin finally found the previous room, tripped over the wine glass thrown on the ground, and saw the noble young man who was still sleeping like dead mud.She bent down and pushed Shen Yu, "It's on fire, get up!"

Not moving like a mountain.

Anxious, she pulled him up.He was dazed and opened his confused eyes. Before Xu Shijin could rejoice, he tilted his body and fell asleep leaning against her.

"..." In panic, Xu Shijin was in a daze for a moment, as if seeing them when they were young.

Shen Yu is lazy and has always been foolish. He has been corrected so many times by Shen's parents, but he is still like a puddle of mud, with no standing or sitting posture.When he was with Xu Shijin, he often leaned against Xu Shijin and fell asleep, not caring where Xu Shijin led him.

When I was young, there were often funny scenes: Miss Xu talked and laughed at Yan Yan, and talked with people.The boy was leaning against her, sleeping with his head on her shoulder.Miss Xu's complexion is often stiff.

For this reason, she has teased him many times, betrayed him, dumped him, and even figured out a way to kidnap him... Xu Shijin still hasn't corrected Shen Yu's problem.

She could only get used to it. The little master Shen she knew never fell in love with her, but slept by her.

The past has passed so long, and there is no going back.They have all grown up, have their own positions, and have changed... But when Shen Yu leaned over and fell asleep drowsily leaning against her, Xu Shijin's heart sank heavily, and tears fell to his eyes instantly.

She pushed him, "Shen Yu, Shen Xiaoyu...Don't sleep, get up!"

She didn't wake him up, just like every time when she was young.She never woke up Shen Yu, and it has been like this since she was a child.

Xu Shijin looked down at him for a long time, bent down, put his arm on his shoulder, and let his body completely lean towards him.Gritting her teeth, she struggled to support his body to stand up, and walked towards the door step by step.

Every step, those old days, reminded her a little bit in her mind.

The years she deliberately forgot, the years she didn't want to think about, the years she remembered and abandoned... She thought she had forgotten, but she never had.It was the flower that bloomed in her heart, and when she turned around, she could see—they were so unreal when they were young.

"Xiao Jin, don't go." He said.

"I didn't take a step, Shen Xiaoyu! But if you don't follow, I will really leave!" Her voice was stiff.

"Shen Xiaoyu, are you promising? Can't you improve yourself? Why do you sleep or eat every time I see you?" She knocked on his head, unable to stand him.

"Don't you like this?" His answer was unambitious, but managed to lure his companion to the kitchen.

"...Xiao Jin, I remember I was reading in the study, why are you looking at the stars now?" He asked suspiciously.

"... How many things have you slept through for me!" Xu Shijin hated iron for being weak.

Hate that iron can't make steel, hate iron can't make steel... She hates that he can't become what he wants, she hates that he is always like that.

How can she marry him?How can you marry such a person?She felt sad when she thought of the days to come.She wanted power, and no one dared to bully her if she wanted it. She wanted so many things, but Shen Yu couldn't give them to him.

How could she marry him?
In the fire, in the rain, the voices of people come and go.

Xu Shijin supported him on his back and walked down the stairs step by step.Sweating on her forehead, she avoided the collision person, fearing that the person on her back would be pushed away.She carried him on her back and walked in this silent world.All the sounds are gone, only the sound of my own heartbeat can be heard, sometimes heavy and sometimes soft.The road under her feet was infinitely long, and she was so exhausted that she could hardly see what was ahead.

I don't know how long it will take to walk to safety, and I don't know where to go. The only thing I know is to keep walking, keep walking, and send the person on my back to a safe place.

Xu Shijin has a tenacious character, able to endure the unbearable of thousands of people.She could carry him when she was young, but she couldn't carry Shen Yu now.But just like that, Xu Shijin still led him out of the fire pit.As soon as he got out of the building, Xu Shijin collapsed on the ground exhausted, and the man behind him was also brought down by her.

Xu Shijin panted, and looked back, the rain had stopped long ago, and the fire was still unabated.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and her mind began to move, wondering what was going on with the fire.Her eyes searched among the fleeing crowd, looking at each one, her eyes were calm and sharp, no one would be spared.Miss Xu never believed in a fire without a cause, she wanted to figure out the cause and effect.

While thinking about it, she heard a low "uh" sound beside her, and she felt her body tilted and almost fell.Looking quickly, he saw that Mr. Shen sat up in a daze, and took her sleeve to wipe off the oil on his face, revealing his fair face, looking around, "What's wrong? Why am I here?"

"..." Xu Shijin pulled his sleeve, Mr. Shen wiped his face and then his hands again, completely unaware that it was Miss Xu's sleeve.

Xu Shijin's face was dark - that's why she hated Shen Yu!

Forever careless, don't care about anything!
Shen Yu raised his eyes and finally saw her.Xu Shijin waited to see if his wine was sober, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he stretched out his hand to grab her.The force was so heavy that Xu Shijin completely staggered and fell towards him, hitting his head on his chest.Xu Shijin didn't understand the situation, he was hugged around the waist, rolled around on the ground twice, and then flew into the air again.

She fixed her eyes and saw a person sneaking up from the crowd, with a very inconspicuous crossbow in his hand, shooting arrows one after another.Seeing that he was dodged and the crowd was commotion, the man's eyes met Shen Yuwang's, and then Miss Xu's squinted eyes.

Xu Shijin said, "You are..."

The man panicked, so he just kept on doing nothing, threw a long knife as tall as a man from behind, and flew towards Xu Shijin.Xu Shijin took two steps back, and Shen Yu stepped forward. In an instant, his aristocratic temperament changed, becoming gloomy and cold, which chilled the surrounding air.

"Shen Yu, be careful!" Xu Shijin exclaimed.

She couldn't help but be surprised, after all, she knew better than anyone else that it was true that Shen Yu was a Jinyiwei, but the flying fish suit with embroidered spring knives had nothing to do with him.He went out to drink flower wine, he never performed missions, and he didn't have a weapon on him.Not only that, Xu Shijin also had great distrust of Shen Yu's martial arts.She has seen how lazy Mr. Shen is... She has always thought that his martial arts are at the level of a three-legged cat.The reason why Mr. Shen was able to enter Jinyiwei through the back door...maybe bigger.

Xu Shijin was so worried that he had already grabbed the onlookers, organized language to call people to report to the officials, and invited Jing Zhaoyin's people to come over.Shen Yu's fight with someone, she was in anxiety the whole time, and the person he wanted to deal with was obviously her, he passed Shen Yu again and again, and the knife in his hand barely brushed against her.Xu Shijin couldn't handle it at all.

Shen Yu could only hold her hand and help her avoid it.His eyes are cold and sharp, and his body is full of strength like a cheetah. During the fight, his robes flew off, like a white crane showing its first appearance.His eyes were dark and cold, silent and forbearing, without a trace of warmth, he felt scared just by looking at them.The light of the knife slashed towards Xu Shijin, and Shen Yu stepped forward to catch the knife's face with his bare hands.

In Xu Shijin's astonishment, Shen Yu grasped the knife face, let go of her hand suddenly, put his hand on her shoulder, and turned over from the knife face like a full bow.Pushing back with force, the man was beaten to the ground, and the knife in his hand had been taken away.

Thinking about it again, the chin was pressed by the men's boots, Shen Yu's foot stepped on somewhere, and he heard a clicking sound.The man's chest was stomped heavily and he vomited blood, but his jaw was dislocated and he couldn't move.

Xu Shijin stared blankly at Shen Yu who turned around.

It turns out that he is so powerful...

In her mind, she suddenly thought of the last scene a few years ago, when the heavy rain was pouring, and Shen Yu said softly, "You never know, I will help you whatever you want. But I can't change myself for you, that's not me, that's Unrecognizable."

She kept thinking, always thinking: why can't you change?Why can't I make progress?why can't you come with me...

But that's not Shen Yu.

She never understood.

Shen Yu quietly looked at the moaning person on the ground. After a while, his expression relaxed, and when his eyes returned to Xu Shijin's face, a leisurely smile slowly appeared again.He clicked his tongue, "Miss Xu has caused a lot of trouble."

He crossed his arms and brushed his hands lightly over his clothes.Xu Shijin's face changed a few times, but Shen Yuhun didn't care.When people from Jing Zhaoyin came, how could they not recognize Shen Yu's identity?Fearing that Jin Yiwei would interfere again, he hurriedly took him away.Shen Yu looked at it nonchalantly, yawned, and looked sleepy.

When passing by Xu Shijin again, he turned his head sideways, "Why did you save me just now?"

He was referring to the incident where she carried him out of the flames.

Xu Shijin's eyes flickered, and he smiled and raised his head, "Because you are Shen Yu."

He seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and his smile deepened, "Miss Xu is really scheming, if I didn't know your nature, I would have thought you fell in love with me instantly."

Xu Shijin kept an elegant smile, pretending that he didn't understand.

He glanced at her and raised his leg to leave.But when he was wrong, he hesitated for a moment, and smiled, "Miss Xu saved my life tonight, so I will reciprocate and tell Miss Xu an interesting news: His Royal Highness has been in frequent contact with the Xu family recently, and I think the Xu family seems to be moved." gone."

"I already knew about this." Xu Shijin said quietly.

He couldn't help smiling, as if he thought it was funny, "But you don't know, the candidate for the crown princess is about to be announced, and the Xu family is very excited."

Xu Shijin's face turned pale all of a sudden.

The prince wants to choose the princess?Contact the Xu family?But she doesn't know!
No one told her!
Shen Yu gave a soft "hmm", squinted his eyes, and recalled in his memory, it seemed difficult and interesting, "The girls of your Xu family, one or two, like to run to the royal family? What a unique family tradition, tsk tsk. "

Xu Shijin's face turned paler, and his body was even crumbling.

Are there other girls from the Xu family who are interested in the prince?No news is coming out!As a member of the Xu family, her relationship with the prince for so many years...she doesn't know anything!

With a pale face, Xu Shijin grabbed Shen Yu's wrist when he passed by, gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice, "You make me feel strange...why do you know so many things?!"

"Guess?" He smiled, absent-mindedly, and easily pushed her hand away, yawning and walking away.

Xu Shijin stayed where he was, his eyes changing.A bold idea appeared in her mind, causing her to widen her eyes in disbelief, turn her head suddenly, and look at Shen Yu's back.

Mr. Shen is very carefree and unaffected.He hummed a little song, and gradually walked away in the cold night.

They are such different people.
