Chapter 133 Compensation
The next day, Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu set off to leave.
Shen Changhuai personally escorted them out of the city and watched the carriage drive away.
Brother, brother, I wonder if you have ever regretted it?
Shen Changhuai shook his head and sighed, sincerely wishing Jiang Shu could get what he wanted.
The sun was shining brightly, and Zhufeng led the way on horseback, followed by two carriages.
Zhui Yun was seriously injured and needed someone to take care of him, so he asked Tan Yu to ride in the same car with him.
As for Jiang Shu, naturally he and Yu Zheng were in the same car.
"How many days does it take to get from here to Beijing?" Jiang Shu asked Yu Zheng.
Yu Zheng muttered: "Three days if you go quickly, four days if you go slower."
Even before setting off, Yu Zheng asked the team to move slower on the grounds that Zhuiyun was seriously injured and should not be subject to excessive bumps. Therefore, it will take them four days to reach Shangjing.
With the lesson learned last time, Zhufeng became extremely cautious, observing his surroundings all the way and not daring to relax even a little bit.
While the two were chatting in the car, Jiang Shu asked about the landslide.
Yu Zheng told her that he and Shen Changhuai concluded that it was related to a group of bandits in Qi County.
This group of bandits is different from ordinary bandits. In addition to robbing homes and houses, they also engage in killing and stealing goods.
As long as the money is available, they dare to do anything.
"Then why didn't the government destroy them?" Jiang Shu was puzzled.
Yu Zheng pursed his lips: "It is said that these bandits are highly skilled in martial arts, cruel and cunning. The government ordered them to be eliminated several times, but all suffered heavy casualties. Even their lair was not found."
"Old nest? Do they have several nests?" Jiang Shu was surprised.
Yu Zheng nodded: "Let's see how capable Lord Shen is."
Jiang Shu was a little worried: "Chang Huai was devoted to studying and his martial arts skills were mediocre. Will he be in danger?"
"Are you worried about him?" Yu Zheng's eyes darkened slightly.
Jiang Shu nodded: "Although he is older than me, I always regard him as my younger brother."
The anger in Yu Zheng's heart suddenly disappeared, but he was still unhappy.
Sensing his emotional change, Jiang Shu asked suspiciously, "You're not eating, are you?"
Yu Zheng looked slightly annoyed and snorted: "He is not your brother."
"They are also old friends and friends, so we should care about them."
"He has a wife, so you don't need to care."
"What about you? Do you need my concern?" Jiang Shu suddenly came closer and looked at Yu Zheng with her almond-shaped eyes.
Seeing her naughty look, Yu Zheng felt depressed and stretched out his long arms to pull her into his arms.
"Yeah!" Jiang Shu exclaimed in a low voice.
Yu Zheng held her waist with one hand and clamped her neck with the other. He leaned over and kissed her lips.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shu opened his eyes wide in shock, then slowly closed them again.
Different from the gentle and affectionate kiss before, this kiss had the meaning of robbery and punishment. Jiang Shu almost couldn't breathe during the kiss.
After the kiss, Jiang Shu lay in Yu Zheng's arms and panted slightly.
Yu Zheng looked at her seductive appearance, his throat rolled and his voice was hoarse.
"I really want to marry you back to my hometown as soon as possible."
Jiang Shu's pretty face turned red when she heard this, and she said shyly: "We will take over Jiang Ji."
To be honest, she was not ready to marry Yu Zheng.
First of all, Jiang Ning is young and Jiang's father has not yet recovered, so the Jiang family cannot do without her.
Secondly, she and Yu Zheng had just confessed their feelings, and their relationship was just beginning, so they didn't understand each other very well.
She has already experienced a marriage that was ordered by her parents and arranged by a matchmaker, and it was not satisfactory. So this time, she wanted to wait until everything was settled before discussing marriage.
Yu Zheng is so smart and wise, he understands Jiang Shu's thoughts with just one sentence.
"I only said I wanted you to marry me, but I didn't say I wouldn't let you take charge of Jiang Ji."
After hearing this, Jiang Shu raised his head in shock: "But the royal princess, how can she behave in public every day?"
Even if he didn't mind, the Holy Concubine and even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would not agree.
How could she let her trample on the royal family's face at will?
"Well, it's a little difficult, but it all depends on people. You have to believe me." Yu Zheng took her hand and gave it a peck.
Jiang Shu remained silent, always feeling that the matter was not as simple as Yu Zheng said.
Thinking that Yu Zheng had just fallen in love with Shen Changhuai, Jiang Shu asked, "If I stay in charge of Jiang Ji, I will inevitably have contact with men. Can you tolerate it?"
"No." Yu Zheng gritted his teeth and said lightly, "So I need to compensate."
"What compensation?" Jiang Shu asked sincerely.
Yu Zheng tapped his lips with his index finger: "Kiss me."
Jiang Shu was stunned, thinking Yu Zheng was joking.
Seeing that she didn't move, Yu Zheng said seriously: "I know I can't stop you, and I can't trap you, but I can't control my own heart, so you have to coax me."
Jiang Shu's heart trembled after hearing this. She didn't expect that Yu Zheng could tolerate her to such an extent. She was moved and discussed with him: "Can we change the way?"
"No." Yu Zheng was firm, his face as unhappy as a child having a tantrum.
Jiang Shu had no choice but to go up and coax him.
She only wanted to touch her briefly, but she didn't want Yu Zheng to reach out and clasp the back of her head, deepening the kiss.
"Uh-" Jiang Shu was so dizzy from being kissed that her whole body went limp.
Yu Zheng moved his lips to her ear and nibbled it gently.
Jiang Shu was so embarrassed by him that his face was on fire.
The breeze blew the car curtains, and the sun and wind poured into the car, making it even more charming.
The taste of love is fine if you don't touch it, but it will be out of control once you touch it.
But Yu Zheng also knew what was appropriate and tried his best to restrain himself and did not do anything excessive.
Arriving at the inn in the evening, after everyone had rested, the secret guard protecting Jiang Shu appeared quietly.
"My subordinates have neglected their duties. Please punish me, Master." A secret guard dressed in black knelt down to plead guilty.
After Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu fell into the river due to a landslide that day, the secret guards immediately went down the river to search.
But he never expected that Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu would go in the opposite direction, so he missed them and failed to find them.
After Hou Yuzheng and Jiang Shu appeared in Qixian County, they lived in the house behind the county government office. There were many people and it was inconvenient for the secret guards to show up.
It took him until now to find the opportunity.
"This incident happened suddenly, and I will not pursue it. But you have to watch more carefully in the future to make sure nothing goes wrong again." Yu Zheng's voice was cold.
"Yes." The secret guard responded in a deep voice.
Yu Zheng waved his hand, and the secret guard disappeared into the house like a shadow in the wind.
After driving for three days, we were finally only a hundred miles away from Shangjing.
When he was about to enter the city on the last day, Yu Zheng hugged Jiang Shu very reluctantly.
"It will be difficult to see you again after I return to Shangjing." Yu Zheng whispered against Jiang Shu's forehead.
Jiang Shu was also very reluctant to give up, but he had to face what he had to face.
"We will meet eventually." Jiang Shu comforted her warmly.
Finally, he added: "Your Majesty is a man who does great things, so he cannot be limited to the love between his children."
What she knows now is the trial of Zhao Renxian's case and a thorough investigation into the landslide.
These two things are not easy to do, and Yu Zheng may have been busy for a while.
"Wait carefully until I arrange everything to marry you." Yu Zheng kissed Jiang Shu's forehead gently.
The two people in the carriage in front were inseparable, and the two people in the carriage behind were also reluctant to leave.
"You must rest in bed after you go back. You can only do things after your injury is completely healed. Otherwise, you will be left with the disease for a lifetime." Tan Yu repeatedly warned her uneasily.
Zhuiyun responded tirelessly, keeping his eyes on Tan Yu.
Tan Yu felt embarrassed by his look, turned around, raised the car curtain, looked outside, and murmured, "We're almost at Jiang's house."
Zhuiyun's heart tightened, his lips moved but he stopped talking.
