Chapter 228 Still Something Different

Fortunately, Shen Liuzhen had been paying attention to Shi Yu Hengjia's every move, so he had no time to react.

On the surface, it looked like Shen Liuzhen was standing in front of Shi Yuhengjia, but in fact, he held Xie Yuan's hand with both hands, and held Xie Yuan down with great effort, preventing her from moving.

He blocked Xie Yuan, turned half of his body, and asked sharply: "...What are you doing?"

The soldiers guarding outside were so startled that they rushed in quickly.

As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Shi Yu Hengjia raised his fist in front of Shen Liuzhen's face, looking confrontational.

This is because Shi Yuhengjia didn't use the knife, otherwise the soldiers of the guard of honor would have come up to fight.

"General... Mr. Shen is an imperial envoy after all, what can't you say properly?" A guard of honor soldier reminded him in Xianbei dialect, putting his hand on his saber as a warning.

During this period, Shen Liuzhen gave Xie Yuan a firm look, implying that she must hold back and never expose the fact that she knows martial arts...

Martial arts practitioners' body reactions are relatively quick, especially when encountering an attack. Maybe she didn't think about it, and her body has already unconsciously parried or avoided the injury.

What's more, just now Shi Yu Hengjia threatened with words and talked about the ransacking and extermination of Xie's family everywhere, Xie Yuan's anger had long been ignited.

When Shi Yuhengjia's attack struck, Xie Yuan's whole body was tense and ready to go, and if he had an impulse to resist, he would expose himself.

She must not be exposed, even if her fist touches her body, she must not be exposed!

What Shi Yuhengjia said just now, Shen Liuzhen has figured out his psychology clearly:
He was a supporter of Ulei, and Prince Muhe's death was beneficial to Ulei.So even if he found out what Shen Liuzhen had done, he could turn a blind eye and close one eye, or even help him uncover the matter.

But he is a Xianbei, and he feels in his bones that the Xianbei and the Han are enemies.

Ignoring the Han people who played tricks and killed their own people, even if they helped Emperor Wu Lei, he was not happy.

If Xie Yuan exposes that she knows martial arts and has the ability to assassinate Prince Muhe.

Then Xie Yuan, the "little guy" who did it, is very likely to become the target of his revenge!
Will she be able to go back safely by then?

Because of fear and nervousness, Shen Liuzhen used all his strength in his hands.In just two sentences, a thin layer of sweat has already appeared on his head.

The moment the soldiers outside rushed in, another gust of cold wind came in.Shen Liuzhen, who was already a bit chilly, suddenly felt chills all over, shivered unconsciously, and sneezed again.

Because Xie Yuan had to pay attention to Shi Yu Hengjia's every move, her eyes met Shi Yu Hengjia's, but she couldn't hide the anger in her eyes.

Shi Yuhengjia was also staring at her, watching her reaction, the moment he looked at Xie Yuan, his heart shuddered because of her too sharp and confident gaze.

But Shen Liuzhen was in the middle, blocking their sight, and then sneezed again.

Xie Yuan felt Shen Liuzhen's shivering, he couldn't help but look away, looked at him, and asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"

It seems that Shi Yu Hengjia's eyes were dazzled by the fierce eyes with killing intent just now.

Shi Yuhengjia withdrew his fist, and said in his brisk tone:
"It's nothing... just itchy hands, and I want to learn from others." He bent slightly and looked into Xie Yuan's eyes, "I think the girl seems to be good at martial arts."

Xie Yuan had already calmed down, and ignored him with lowered eyelids, focusing on Shen Liuzhen who was trembling slightly in front of him.

Shen Liuzhen looked at her with a gratified smile and relaxed.

He let go of her hand, turned around, took out a handkerchief to wipe his nose, and said weakly:

"General Heng Jia, stop making trouble, Shen is a little uncomfortable, please go back."

Shi Yuhengjia looked at Shen Liuzhen and blinked, thinking that he had said everything he needed to say, and he didn't find anything after probing. If this continues, it will indeed damage his image.

So he smiled slightly, and said briskly, "I'm just kidding, Mr. Imperial Envoy, don't take it seriously...I'm leaving now."

After finishing speaking, his eyes finally landed on Xie Yuan's face, turned around and left under the watchful eyes of the soldiers.

Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan looked at each other and sneezed again. He felt dizzy... So he said to the soldier:

"Please make me a bowl of ginger soup, thank you."

"Oh... okay." The soldier was stunned for a moment, and led the others out.

There were only the two of them left in the tent.

Shen Liuzhen walked back to his seat weakly, sat down cross-legged, looked at the food on the table, and said:

"A Yuan, this food is cold, let someone warm it up for you."

Xie Yuan's face was also a little dignified, and he said, "Don't eat it, let someone take it away later."

Shen Liuzhen was silent for another moment, and said: "It just so happens that I'm sick, so I can use this excuse to go back to Pingcheng tomorrow, and send you back by the way."

Xie Yuan looked at his face, under the firelight, Shen Liuzhen's spirit and complexion were obviously a bit poor.

He was already tender-faced, but now that he was sick, he looked even more distressing.

Xie Yuan thought of all the things that followed Shen Liuzhen in the Xianbei military camp these two days, and what Shi Yuhengjia said just now, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

To put it in detail, on the one hand, I feel sorry for the discrimination and supercilious look at poor Shen Liuzhen, and on the other hand, I hate him for being spineless.In this way, they are determined to plan for their emperor...

Xie Yuan finally couldn't help it, and said in a very soft voice with melancholy: "Liu Zhen, come with me, at least in my place, no one will always mock you because you are a Han, nor will you Someone will threaten you with Miemen."

She paused, and added: "...I see they treat you like this, I'm not happy."

Shen Liuzhen was silent, he didn't know if it was because he was sick, or simply lost because of Xie Yuan's words, he seemed a little depressed.

After a while, with a gentle smile on her face again, she comforted her and said:
"I know your heart... I heard your soldiers tell me at the time that you were often provoked and suspected by others. When you fought with many people for this reason, I felt the same..."

Shen Liuzhen looked at Xie Yuan, said softly and affectionately, "In my eyes, you are the best, and they shouldn't underestimate you...I feel sorry for you too."

Xie Yuan looked at him, his heart was touched, the light in his eyes flickered, and he almost burst into tears.

But she pursed her lips and held back.

Dry firewood was burning in the brazier in the tent, and occasionally there would be a crackling sound. The orange-red fire light reflected on the faces of the two young men, making their eyes sparkle red like water.

"It's still a little different, Liu Zhen. I can prove myself with my strength, how about you? They know you are capable, but they discriminate against your race. You will never become a Xianbei, and you will get Their approval." Xie Yuan said.
