Chapter 106
Chapter 106 - Young Man Young Lady Oh
An arrow suddenly flew over and woke Yin Xu from his slumber. He opened his eyes a crack and grabbed the whip, dropping the arrow to the ground before Teng Yu could make a move.
Following the direction of where the arrow came from, Yin Xu saw a group of dumbstruck youths. One of them had not even returned with his bow, but his face had already turned pale white.
“Three… Third Prince… ” The young man jumped down from his horse and hastily ran over, half kneeling on the ground: “Your Highness, please forgive me … This humble subject was unable to see clearly who it is. “
Teng Yu swept his eyes across the people present and laughed: “How can you talk about such a small matter? As for hunting, it's normal to accidentally hit someone. After all, swords have no eyes, don't you think? “
The young man who was kneeling on the ground trembled. He had no doubt that he would be the next to be accidentally shot.
He lowered his head and hid the profoundness in his eyes. The man on the horse said, “I don't know what kind of animal Qin Shiren was hunting. With my poor eyesight, I didn't discover any living beings within a thirty meter radius.”
Qin Shiren raised his head and pointed at the tree. “Just now, this humble subject saw a bird resting on a tree. I didn't expect that its archery was so bad that it frightened His Highness.”
Teng Yu and Yin Xu raised their heads to look at the towering tree branches, because it was not even spring yet, and there were not even a single leaf on the tree branches, so the tree branches were completely bald and it was impossible for there to be any birds.
Moreover, the two of them had excellent hearing. If there really was an animal on the tree, they would have known.
There was only one possibility, this young man was lying!
Could it be that the arrow was not an accident? But, would a small person from the Book Collection Vault dare to deliberately murder the Third Prince and the Lord of the Huo Family's Seventh Young Masters?
If this arrow had been shot by a valiant general, they would have been able to accept it. Just what was the purpose of this arrow being shot by a civil servant who held a brush every day?
Teng Yu and Yin Xu looked at each other, and the two of them revealed similar smiles at the same time.
“So, it turns out that the archery skill of Qin Shiren is already unable to distinguish between humans and birds. Then, I advise you to leave the mountain as soon as possible. If the next person accidentally hits the emperor, won't it implicate the family?”
“Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness, this humble subject will no longer use bow and arrow.”
Teng Yu clicked his tongue, stroked his chin and said: “I remember that there is also a riding shooting test in the Imperial Examinations. Why is Qin Shi's archery so bad, don't tell me an examiner purposely let him off?”
“Your Highness, please understand that there is absolutely no such thing!” Qin Shi Mu knelt down on both knees, kowtowing as he said, “This humble subject has neglected training these past few years, which is why such an accident occurred. Your Highness, please show mercy.”
Teng Yu stared at his forehead which was bleeding profusely, then looked at the disapproving looks from the surrounding civil servants, his gaze turning cold, “Hmph, since that's the case, then Your Highness can help me change the job.
A youth at the side could not help but step forward and say, “Your Highness, Qin Shiren almost accidentally injured you. He should be punished, but this officer's transfer should be decided by the Ministry of Public Affairs. By doing so, you are acting in a way that exceeds your authority.”
“Are you saying that this prince doesn't even have the authority to punish a seventh rank official?” Teng Yu laughed out loud, “Just based on your words, this king will definitely let this brat change his position!”
“Your Highness …” Seeing that not only did he not help the Third Prince, but he had angered him even more, his face flushed red.
Scholars were all proud and arrogant. They could indeed stand out and argue on behalf of the Qin Shizhe people, but they had forgotten that the imperial government would not offend the His Highness The Prince for a mere official.
Yin Xu swung the horse whip in his hand with force, the whip curling up in the air and circling around Qin Shi Ren's neck, lifting him up from the ground.
“Ah …” Everyone was astonished, and Qin Shiren was so scared that he stomped his feet.
“Didn't you say you saw someone up ahead? “Right now, I haven't seen anyone in front of me. My hand is itching to swing the whip, but I didn't expect the whip to hit you. It's truly a sin.”
Yin Xu threw the person on the whip out with all his might, and watched him roll on the ground for more than ten metres before putting the whip away. He glared at the young man who was already in a daze and said, “Move aside, otherwise, don't blame this young master for not growing eyes with the whip.”
The crowd consciously parted to form a path. They could only watch as the two left while talking and laughing. They were still unable to separate themselves from the young man's savage and handsome appearance.
It was said that even if an Elementary Scholar met with soldiers, it would be impossible to explain themselves. Even if they had a hundred mouths, they would not care what you said.
“Where did this shrimp soldier come from?” Yin Xu was a little curious about the background of the young man just now.
“I already said that he's a shrimp soldier, so why would I pay attention to him?”
“Then it can't be that he's targeting you because he doesn't like you, right?”
“Maybe it's because I don't like you?” Teng Yu hugged onto him tightly and snatched the whip away from his hand, “You have to know that your reputation outside is not much better than mine.”
Yin Xu scoffed, “But outsiders know that I am powerful and extraordinary, with extraordinary martial arts. How could I look like the Third Prince?
Teng Yu's face stiffened, then said: “Why don't we find a place to have a good fight?”
“No need, wasn't last night's competition enough?” Yin Xu leaned on his chest, his body was still soft, it seemed like he had to live a nurturing life.
It was only then that he realized that a mortal's body could really be weak to such an extent. It was just a few times of indulgence, but he actually felt weak all over.
It was no wonder Teng Yu didn't want to surrender to him.
“That person was probably just probing me. You were asleep at that time, so if the arrow was aimed at me, you would have to have some skill to dodge it.”
“The fact that you know martial arts was exposed?”
“Since it's a test, then there is no way to confirm. Maybe the arrow that was shot in front of Huo Yiloong the other day made the people suspicious.”
“That's true, sending a civil servant here isn't to assassinate you, that's just not putting you in my eyes, haha!” Just thinking about it, Yin Xu felt that the person behind this was too meticulous to even think of such a small scheme.
If it was him, he would want to know if Teng Yu was a martial artist, so he would immediately rush into's room in the middle of the night.
Of course, wanting to sneak into Third Prince's bedroom in the middle of the night was itself a little difficult, but this difficulty wasn't even worth mentioning to Demon Lord.
“Actually, those few people are the ones who want to know the answer. As long as we investigate who Huo Yiloong told about this matter to yesterday, we will know the answer.” Teng Yu's eyes flashed, he actually already had an answer in his heart.
“Guess who?”
Teng Yu did not directly answer him, but instead analyzed: “Firstly, my Royal Father is the person who ordered my wife to act. He definitely knows about what happened on the mountain yesterday.
Secondly, Huo Zhengquan also has a motive. With our relationship in front of him, he might understand the affairs of this noble king in detail. He wants to know if this great hall is a real trash or a fake trash, all he needs to know is whether or not this hall is concealing anything.
Third, mother and son of Imperial Consort Yun, these two people who have their eyes on me, are constantly playing with their little intelligence. “
“Is it just a little trick?” Yin Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at him in ridicule.
“To the current This Highness, it is indeed just a small intelligence.” Teng Yu sighed, “Can't we not talk about our young and ignorant past?”
Yin Xu comforted his while the words came out of his heart, “Who hasn't had their own time of ignorance? “The past is the past.”
“Oh, then tell me, what kind of stupid things did you do when you were young and ignorant?”
Yin Xu thought about it seriously. If it was considered as him being a teenager before he was a hundred years old, he probably hadn't done anything stupid. Of course, he had forgotten about everything that happened when he was young.
“It's been too long, I don't remember. But this young master has always been extremely smart. Even when I was young and ignorant, I never did anything stupid.” He shot a glance at Teng Yu, the disdain in his eyes not concealing it at all …
“Since you dare to say that you are old, you must have had a period of admiration from your youth. The youth is impulsive and has a beauty in front of him, how can he not do something stupid?”
As Teng Yu said this, he stared closely at the side of Yin Xu's face. His fair face was flushed from sleep just now.
Yin Xu turned his head, and met Teng Yu's fiery gaze. His brows raised, and he exclaimed, “Young Master Mu Ai ah …” His most impulsive period of time was spent in seclusion. He really did not know what a normal teenager should be like.
However, perhaps, it should be like the one he was now, right?
“If there really are one or two, then we really do have one or two.”
“Hmm?” Teng Yu squinted his eyes, his gaze becoming sharper, “Tell me about it.”
Yin Xu winked at him, then said smilingly: “For example, we will fight over the blankets with someone at night, and for example we will fight over food with someone, and for example we will also fight over food with someone else.”
Teng Yu frowned as he heard the signs of relaxation, but he was not sure if the person in his words was himself.
“Have you ever been married and given birth?” Teng Yu asked stiffly.
Yin Xu shook his head honestly, “No, and I've never thought of it.” In his opinion, having one additional person around would only create one more risk factor, and would also result in many obstacles.
He was a cultivator who wholeheartedly pursued the Dao of the Heavens and had never put his energy into the matter of love. As for his future generations, he had never thought about it, as he did not even know who his parents were, nor did he know what kinship was.
Teng Yu's expression turned from gloomy to clear, he pulled Yin Xu's face to give him a hard kiss, as his entire being soared with happiness, “Then I don't need to think about it anymore, it was a waste of my effort!”
Yin Xu wiped the saliva off his face and asked with an unfathomable expression, “Are you sure?”
“Naturally, could it be that you want to marry and have children?”
“Oh, whatever you say.” In any case, from his point of view, a wife was destined to be his partner, while Teng Yu was destined to be his.
As for the child … If he could find a spirit raising fruit one day, he would definitely nurture an excellent descendant for Teng Yu with caution and anticipation.
The two wandered around the mountains for a while before finally meeting the Emperor and his men.
The emperor seemed to be very excited. His face was glowing and his expression was one of rare ease and satisfaction. In his hand was a bow wrapped in rhinoceros skin. The guards behind him were all carrying prey in their hands.
Seeing Teng Yu and Yin Xu coming over together, the emperor was displeased with their intimate posture, but he did not embarrass them in front of the crowd.
Teng Yu saluted and secretly gave a glance at the guard by the side. After he retreated, the guard immediately reported the matter of Third Prince being almost accidentally injured by Honorable Qu Qin.
If it were any ordinary person, it would be a small matter, but if it happened to Third Prince, it would be hard to say.
Therefore, the guard's actions were not very outstanding.
Teng Yu had been paying attention to the emperor's expression from the corner of his eyes the entire time. After hearing the report, his eyebrows furrowed for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, as if he had only heard a small, insignificant matter.
He looked over, Teng Yu was currently holding a water bag and feeding Yin Xu water, acting as if it was natural and harmonious, obviously it was not the first time he was doing this.
“Kui'er, come here.” The emperor had the urge to beat his son up.
Teng Yu took a gulp of water from his water bag and walked over, “Royal Father?”
The emperor pulled him over to check and made sure he was uninjured before sighing, “It's good that you're fine. It's easy to get hurt when there are too many people on this mountain. It's only been half a day and three people have already been carried down. It's a good thing you're fine.”
Teng Yu wasn't sure if his words were a comforting word or a warning, “It is my good luck that you and Huo Tian are riding together. With him around, normal people cannot get close.”
“Oh? This means that you owe Huo Tian another favor. ” The Emperor considered the relationship between the two of them and quickly came up with an answer.
From the intelligence he obtained, Huo Family's Seventh Young Masters and Huo Family were not close at all, and had even rejected the request of Huo Family several times for Teng Yu. If not for Huo Zhengquan using his Huo Family Army, it would have been difficult for him to bring back.
If it wasn't for the teachings of his ancestors, the emperor would have wished that he could marry his daughter into Huo Family. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to marry her, the best thing would be to marry her into Huo Family.
Teng Yu was his son, so it was impossible for him to get married to Huo Tian. The two of them maintained an intimate relationship and didn't touch the teachings of their ancestors, so as long as Huo Tian's heart was still with him, it would also be the same when he nurtured Huo Tian.
The emperor raised his head and laughed, patting Yin Xu on the shoulder as he praised, “The young hero that came out of nowhere is indeed the handsome one, okay! “Very good!”
