Chapter 93 You're Crazy
The shameless Shen Qian rode his horse straight over, about to rush into the fire. He pulled up the reins, the horse's front hooves raised high, he jumped off the horse neatly, snatched the rabbit from Fu Chen's hand and took a bite: "It smells so good!" He greeted his friends as if he was at a banquet in the capital: "Prince Zhao, come here quickly, you have been in the cold wind all the way, it's time to eat something hot."
Prince Zhao was able to get along well with Shen Qian, and deep down they were birds of a feather. He didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed about Shen Qian coming to eat for free due to unfamiliarity. He tore off a greasy rabbit leg and took a bite without hesitation: "Thank you so much, Lord Fu." It was rare that he remembered to be polite at this time.
Fu Chen glared at the two of them: "What are you guys singing about?"
Shen Qian did not feel the slightest bit of guilt for disturbing his childhood friend and the girl's time alone. He lifted up his robe, sat on the fallen dead tree, and righteously scolded him: "Achen, you are really something. You knew Yingying was in poor health, but you still insisted on taking her out to the woods. Can't you be a little considerate? Even if you took her to Yanyue Tower for a good meal, it would be better than running to the woods to eat rabbits." He scolded him while eating, not to mention how willful he was.
Fu Chen: "Yingying?" He handed the other roasted rabbit in his hand to Tang Ying and pulled out a burning dead branch, apparently preparing to hit Lord Shen so that he would remember it.
Lord Shen was always very sensible. He immediately jumped up and hid behind Prince Zhao, repeatedly emphasizing: "Miss Tang! Miss Tang!"
Tang Ying: “…”
Fu Chen threw the dead branches into the fire and continued to burn them. Shen Qian whispered to Prince Zhao: "You are so stingy. It's just a name."
Tang Ying tore off a rabbit leg for Fu Chen, and the four of them shared two rabbits. Fu Chen stood up and filled the fire with sand, and said to Lord Shen unceremoniously: "Get lost when you're full!"
Lord Shen pretended to be heartbroken: "Ah Chen, how could you be so heartless?"
Fu Chen was both angry and amused: "Do you believe that I can be even more ruthless?"
"I believe it! I believe it!" Lord Shen looked at Tang Ying for help, as if waiting for Tang Ying to ask him to stay, but he was dragged away by Prince Zhao. After they walked several steps out, they could still hear Prince Zhao's words: "Brother Shen, I heard that Lord Fu is still a bachelor at his age. Please have some pity on him." Lord Fu's roasted rabbit tasted good. In addition, when he parted with Yao Niang that day, Yao Niang handed the Ghost Ball back to him. She heard that it was retrieved by the Forbidden Cavalry Division, so she deliberately wanted to establish a good relationship with the Forbidden Cavalry Division, as it might be useful in the future.
Shen Qian was dragged onto the horse by him and ran away like a gust of wind.
Fu Chen: “…”
Tang Ying: “…”
The two of them mounted their horses and rode in the woods as it was still early. After hearing what Prince Zhao said, Tang Ying felt uncomfortable. She started to speak: "Master Fu, I have something to say, shall I?"
Master Fu looked thoughtful, as if he could guess what she was going to say next, and interrupted her: "Don't say anything that shouldn't be said."
Tang Ying shut up unhappily and drove the horse casually in the woods. He felt a little lazy after eating. His quiver was empty. He breathed the cold air in the woods and found that the terrain was getting more and more steep. Relying on his superb riding skills, he didn't take it seriously and identified the direction to go back.
Fu Chen was quite annoyed.
Since they met, the two had finally been able to have some peaceful and pleasant time together. The most important thing was that the little girl seemed to have temporarily put down the burden on her heart. However, those two bastards, Shen Qian and Zhao Ji, came to disrupt the situation, and the good atmosphere was wiped out.
He was really soft-hearted for once and didn't catch Shen Qian and beat him up.
As Fu Chen and Tang Ying were wandering in the woods, he was absent-mindedly pulling Shen Qian out and whipping him in his mind. He did not notice the light footsteps in the wind in the forest. When he heard the sound of an arrow breaking through the air, Tang Ying's mount had been shot. The horse was frightened by the pain and ran away madly.
Tang Ying was feeling a little drowsy while sitting on the horse. The sudden change happened too quickly and she was caught off guard. She was almost thrown off the horse. Pulling the reins hard could not stop the mad mount. Fu Chen's roar came from behind: "Loosen the stirrups--" Unfortunately, the horse had no idea which direction it was going and rushed forward.
The branches blocking the road passed by in front of her eyes and seemed to have reached her head in the blink of an eye. She didn't expect that there was a cliff in front of her. The horse, in a panic, had long lost the ability to identify the environment. Its front hoof stepped on empty air and it fell down with a neigh. Tang Ying on the horse reacted quickly. After realizing that the mount was out of control, she released her pedals, but still fell down with the mount. In an emergency, she jumped on the mount to use the force to jump upwards, but not only did she fail to reach the dead branches on the edge of the cliff, but she grabbed Fu Chen, who jumped off his horse to rescue her, and pulled Lord Fu down with him.
Tang Ying shouted angrily: "What trouble are you making?" The wind tore her words apart. Lord Fu seemed to be like a crab, and once he clamped something, he would not let go. He held her hand so tightly that even her bones were about to be crushed.
Both of them had long swords hanging at their waists, but the downward momentum continued unabated, and neither of them had time to draw out their long swords to stop the downward momentum. Especially since Lord Fu not only took it upon himself to clamp her hands, but also pulled her into his arms.
She heard the man above her head chuckle, as if falling off the cliff was something she was very happy about. He said, "I finally caught you!"
There were rocks falling from above her head, and Tang Ying could also hear Fu Yingjun's fierce roar on the cliff, but unfortunately she could not care about it and could only let herself fall.
There were many crisscrossing branches sticking out from the edge of the cliff, and the two men smashed them down together, so the trees that had grown out of the cracks in the rocks with great difficulty suffered, and many branches were broken, slowing down the downward momentum.
Lord Fu held her tightly in his arms. Tang Ying could only feel her body falling down. She heard the sound of branches breaking when she fell down, but she was not injured. On the contrary, it would not be easy for Fu Chen to fall down heavily.
Taking this opportunity, Tang Ying drew out her sword and stabbed it into the cliff, trying to stop herself from falling. However, the rocks on the cliff were very hard, and even though sparks flew all the way, she couldn't get through. In just a few breaths, Fu Chen fell heavily on a giant tree, and Tang Ying felt the tree shaking in his arms.
He said, "Finally we've stopped." Tang Ying leaned over his shoulder and looked down, but saw that the bottom of the cliff was about ten stories high. The solitary tree stretched out its branches from the cracks in the rocks, just like a big palm holding the two of them.
"Sir, are you alright?" Tang Ying was surprised to see blood on the corner of his lips. She wondered if the two of them had smashed Master Fu's internal organs. "Can you move?"
"It's okay." Fu Chen took a deep breath and felt a sharp pain in his left rib and back. When he fell from above, he was blocked by not only the protruding branches but also the protruding stones. He must have been injured.
Seeing him frown, Tang Ying guessed that he was seriously injured and tried to get out of his arms. Unexpectedly, this man did not change his bad habits and actually hugged her tightly, even showing a little smile: "Don't move!"
"Is it pressing on your wound? Let me see where you are hurt." The two people were suspended in the air, neither up nor down, and they had to find a way to get down.
Fu Chen sighed contentedly: "It's not easy to hug you."
Tang Ying was so angry that she slapped him on the shoulder and felt her palm was wet. Sir Fu cried out "ouch". She was so scared that she quickly withdrew her hand and found that it was covered with blood. She didn't know when he had even injured his shoulder. Because he was wearing the black official uniform of the Imperial Cavalry Division, the bloodstain was hardly visible.
"Get up quickly, let me see where you are injured?" Tang Ying panicked.
They had run quite far today and were already far away from the Hunting Palace. After eating the barbecue, Fu Chen also drove away Shen Qian and Prince Zhao who were in the way. Now they were hanging on the treetops with no one to turn to.
But Fu Chen refused to get up. He lay on the tree and groaned: "It's useless for you to look at it. There is no medicine here. Let me lie down for a while." He also tried to hold Tang Ying tightly in his arms.
Tang Ying was so angry that she wanted to punch him twice more, but because his injuries were all hidden, she was afraid that she would hit the wound with her fist. She was so angry that she cursed: "Fu Chen, are you crazy? I fell down, so why did you rush over? Instead, I pulled you off the cliff. People who didn't know would think you were committing suicide for love..."
Fu Chen let her curse at him for a long while, and suddenly said, "Yingying, if I really jumped off a cliff to die for you, would you remember me like you will always remember General Yu?"
Tang Ying was stunned .
When she came to her senses, she realized that she had already shed tears and cursed: "Are you crazy?! You all have the same problem, thinking that you are being generous and righteous and that leaving me alive is a good thing for me, but why don't you think about the fact that I am the only one left in the world, what's the point of living? You are all crazy!"
Daddy is like this, elder brother is like this, Yu An is like this, and now even Fu Chen says this.
The long-suppressed pain surged up like a tide . The panic of being abandoned on an isolated island by her relatives made her unable to breathe. Fu Chen's words gently opened up the old scars. Tang Ying choked with tears and looked at him as if he were an enemy: "You think that sacrificing yourself can ensure my lifelong safety, why didn't you ask me? Am I willing to be abandoned in the world by you? Why don't you take me with you?" Through the blurry tears, she seemed to see the loving faces of her father and brother, and Yu An's heartless face, and she became even angrier.
Fu Chen didn't expect that a single sentence would bring tears to her eyes. He had never seen her lose her composure like this before. He was immediately flustered and tried to comfort her: "I just said it casually. Don't cry, don't cry... It's all my fault... Yingying, don't cry... Can't I get up?"
Tang Ying had received a lot of care from him and she was not heartless, so how could she not feel anything?
But she had a deep blood feud and many lives at stake in her heart, so how could she dare to agree to anything easily?
