Chapter 202 She is as good as any man
"He's right. The doctor has told you not to use force until your injury is healed." Zhou Yichen didn't give Chu Xi a chance to speak, and immediately agreed with what Rong Qingzhu said.
Chu Xi frowned slightly, and she tilted her ear slightly, as if listening to the movement outside.
There was quite a commotion. According to her estimation, there were at least thirty assassins coming this time, and they were not from the Nalan clan. Some of them used swords, and some used spears.
Rong Qingzhu doesn't understand martial arts. Every inch has its strengths and every foot has its weaknesses. In this regard, he really... doesn't understand.
"You were injured last night. If you swing your sword again today, it will inevitably cause the wound to tear open."
Even if he was not injured, he could imagine the gauze being soaked in blood after the wound was torn.
Chu Xi's brows twitched slightly. Rong Qingzhu's sincere expression was quite...interesting.
In fact, she could quite understand the idea that the Rong family was neutral. If she had traveled into someone else's body instead of this one, she would not have easily chosen sides.
So what if you know the final winner?
Who can ensure that human nature will not change easily? Besides, if you can choose not to take sides, why put yourself in danger?
However, Rong Qingzhu said that he would not take sides, but at the same time... he was on good terms with me. I was afraid that if the news got out to those people in the capital, or even to His Majesty, the situation would change in an instant.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
This is not an exaggeration. Since she came in, she has encountered countless assassinations. She always fights one against ten, or even more. It is inevitable that she will get injured. She has suffered more serious injuries than this!
Rong Qingzhu was helpless, knowing that he couldn't stop Qi Bai, so he could only turn around and look at Zhou Yichen.
Seeing that Qi Bai was still worried about the outside world, Zhou Yichen spoke again to comfort him, "I have made arrangements today. No matter how powerful their martial arts are, they will not be able to escape."
Chu Xi pondered for a moment, wondering whether Zhou Yichen was a prince or a legitimate son who could successfully survive the suppression of his majesty and the targeting of his brothers.
He must have his own methods. Since he said he had already arranged it, I think he is not lying.
The noise outside has never stopped. A few days ago, the sound of heavy rain was covering it up. Today, the rain has stopped, and the noise seems particularly loud.
Rong Qingzhu couldn't concentrate on reading and unconsciously looked at the young man opposite him. The young man had a handsome face and was elegant as a flower. The dim yellow light of the candle in the tent reflected on his chin, making it seem to be glowing slightly.
He raised his hand unconsciously, his fingers gently stroking the edge of his sleeve, as if thinking about something.
Chu Xi lowered his head slightly and read the book seriously, and it was hard to tell that the other party was actually a military general.
He was so absorbed in reading that he didn't expect the boy to suddenly lift his eyes and make eye contact with him. He was caught off guard and the book on his lap immediately fell to the ground.
The noise startled Zhou Yichen who was reading a letter nearby. He had to deal with some letters every day, but Rong Qingzhu had no idea what was written in these letters.
But even if you don't know, you can still guess it.
But he knew what to say and what not to say, and even if he guessed it, he never asked any more questions, let alone tried to read what was written in it?
Chu Xi saw Rong Qingzhu was first absent-minded, and then looked frightened, and couldn't help but find it funny, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Rong Qingzhu hurriedly picked up the book that fell to the ground, then shook his head and nodded.
Chu Xi, "?"
Zhou Yichen raised his eyebrows silently, as if he was puzzled by Rong Qingzhu's abnormal and strange behavior.
It was because Chu Xi suddenly looked into his eyes that Rong Qingzhu remembered something he had forgotten for a long time. He said with a blushing look, "...There is something I have always forgotten to tell you. Jiang Zhenyao asked me to bring you a letter."
He suddenly mentioned Jiang Zhenyao, and not only Chu Xi was stunned, but even Zhou Yichen who was standing beside him was also stunned.
Zhou Yichen...never took Jiang Zhenyao seriously before. It wasn't because he was arrogant and looked down on others, but because he had to struggle hard to survive in the past, and there were only a few people he cared about and paid attention to.
Now, because of Qi Bai, Jiang Zhenyao and even the entire Jiang family came into his sight.
Jiang Zhenyao...
She has become Qi Bai's fiancée, and the two have exchanged engagement cards.
This was completely different from what he expected. Zhou Yichen had thought that Qi Bai would not get married so early...
"I have been here for several days. If I hadn't suddenly remembered it, I would have kept this letter here forever."
After Rong Qingzhu finished speaking, he quickly took out the envelope that he had placed there before from his bag. The letter had never been opened, so he formally handed it to Chu Xi.
Chu Xi took a glance and noticed that the envelope had never been opened, but didn't say anything. He took it and opened the letter in front of both of them.
She curled her lips and glanced at Rong Qingzhu, "Thank you."
Even though she didn't expect Jiang Zhenyao to send her a letter, Jiang Zhenyao was dragged into this by her after all, and now, the two of them can be considered "comrades-in-arms" fighting side by side.
Chu Xi took out the letter, unfolded it, and read the contents of the letter.
She did not find a special place to read the letter, but read it calmly in front of the two of them.
Obviously, her frank behavior made Rong Qingzhu and Zhou Yichen lower their eyes consciously, and no one looked at Chu Xi.
No matter how curious they were about the contents of the letter, due to their upbringing, they could not peek.
Chu Xi quickly read the letter, then pinched his brows helplessly.
In fact, the content of the letter was very simple. She had been in Xi'an for many years and had experience. She wanted to come and help. Moreover, she was not used to living in Beijing.
Chu Xi is not a person of this era. Whether due to more than 20 years of education or from her own perspective, she will not look down on women.
But Jiang Zhenyao is not alone after all. She also has the Jiang family. His Majesty and several princes are probably keeping a close eye on the Jiang family. If she really leaves the capital, she will definitely be used by someone with ulterior motives.
Once the secret gets out and His Majesty knows about it, the Jiang family will be in big trouble.
Zhou Yichen saw that Chu Xi's expression had changed and that she seemed troubled, so he asked directly, "What was written in the letter?"
Chu Xi raised her eyes, looked at Zhou Yichen for a moment, pursed her lips, and seemed to be hesitating about what to say, whether to say it or not.
After a while, she said, "She said she wanted to come over and give me a hand."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yichen frowned slightly, with disapproval clearly written on his face.
"A helping hand? Is she here to cause trouble?"
In fact, until now, he still couldn't understand why Qi Bai chose Jiang Zhenyao as his wife? Or why the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion chose Jiang Zhenyao as Qi Bai's wife?
In his eyes, any woman in this world is nothing compared to Qi Bai, and the woman who is truly worthy of Qi Bai has not yet been born!
Chu Xi didn't know that Zhou Yichen's prejudice against Jiang Zhenyao came from herself. She thought that he was poisoned by the thoughts of this era and followed the popular idea that women should follow the three obediences and four virtues, strictly observe the female virtues, and never go out of the house.
"No, although Jiang Zhenyao is a woman, she is not an ordinary woman. She is good at martial arts and knows how to deploy troops. She is not inferior to any man."
