Chapter 284 Pei Ye, you are sick again!
Pei Ye saw that Xuan Ying was handsome, and he asked Chu Li with a puzzled look on his face, "You...are you?"
Chu Li explained: "He is my friend Xuanying, Commander Pei, put down the dagger first."
Pei Ye stared at him, unmoved.
Xuan Ying's eyes turned cold, and he pointed the sword in his hand at Pei Ye, "Your Highness, who is this?"
Chu Li explained, "This is Pei Ye, the commander of the Imperial Guards. There is a misunderstanding between you two."
Xuanying saw the arrogance in Pei Ye's eyes and his love for Chu Li, and didn't know why he had no intention of putting down his sword.
If the other party wants to fight, he also wants to join in.
Pei Ye was not ready to put down the dagger. He always felt that Xuan Ying must have some feelings for Chu Li!
Moreover, the other party is not afraid of death.
Chu Li’s explanations to both sides were useless, so he shouted, “Pei Ye!”
Pei Ye reluctantly took back the dagger.
Xuanying also put the sword back into the scabbard and returned it to Chu Li.
Pei Ye got on the carriage. Chu Li stared at him, "Commander Pei, why did you follow me?"
Pei Ye moved closer to Chu Li, "Chu... ahem, I am here to protect Your Highness."
It took Pei Ye two days to convince himself not to call out Chu Chu's name easily.
He could only assume in his heart that Chu Li was Chu Chu.
For Chuchu's safety, there will be no Chuchu in the world from now on, only Chuli.
Chu Li looked at Pei Ye speechlessly, "You are the commander of the imperial guards. If you don't protect my father, why would you protect me?"
Pei Ye explained: "I told His Majesty that the empress and the crown prince were present at the Tianwu Mountain competition, as well as people from other countries. What if there were assassins who wanted to harm the prince and princess? His Majesty agreed to let me come."
The corners of Chu Li's lips twitched. Pei Ye, if you follow me like this, my identity will be easily exposed!
She had a fortune-teller tell her fortune last night, and it seems that someone can see her identity recently, but it’s safe to say it’s not a big deal, so it should be a friend rather than an enemy.
Pei Ye's close following was bound to arouse suspicion.
"Commander Pei, have you forgotten that we are incompatible?" Chu Li advised him in a low voice, "You have to act more realistically."
Pei Ye responded seriously, "Don't worry, when there are more people around, I will definitely treat you the same way as before."
Chu Li rolled her eyes. How could she be so relieved!
Xuanying judged from the conversation between the two that Commander Pei liked His Highness, and that the two had known each other many years ago.
He sat there with his eyes closed, and Pei Ye asked, "Xuan Ying, right? How did you get to know His Highness?"
Xuanying raised his eyes gently, "Your Highness has done me a favor."
Pei Ye pulled the corner of his lip, "Since you have done me a favor, I should repay you with my death. Why should I keep following His Highness?"
Chu Li slapped Pei Ye on the arm, "Pei Ye, you're sick again!"
Pei Ye curved his lips and smiled. Chu Li hit him. It had been a long time since she hit him so intimately.
And she called his name.
The corners of Chu Li's lips twitched. Why did she feel that Pei Ye enjoyed the slap?
She looked at Xuanying, "Commander Pei and I grew up together. He is like this. He doesn't speak lightly or seriously. Please don't mind it."
Xuan Ying smiled slightly, "It's okay. It's not impossible to repay your kindness with death. My life has long been yours."
Pei Ye's knuckles tightened little by little. Why did he feel that Xuanying was taking the opportunity to express his feelings?
He waved to the people outside, "Come here."
The imperial guards brought a long brocade box. Pei Ye took it and handed it to Chu Li, "Open it and take a look."
After Chu Li opened it, she was stunned. She took out the sword from the brocade box and asked in surprise, "Where did you get this sword?"
Pei Ye said proudly, "It suits you, right? Time is tight, and I don't have enough time to refine a good sword for you. I have been looking for a sword that suits you these past two days. Fortunately, I didn't give up. When I passed by Yijian Pavilion this morning, I took a look and knew it was suitable for you!"
Chu Li was confused. This sword was custom-made by her and was exactly the same as the sword she had drawn for Manager Liu.
"The shopkeeper told me at that time that luckily a young man didn't want this sword yesterday, so I was able to buy it and give it to you."
Chu Li smiled awkwardly, and the sword went around and returned to her hand.
Only then did Pei Ye notice the sword Xuan Ying was holding.
His eyes lit up and he looked at Chu Li, "Is this your sword?"
Chu Li nodded, "Yeah."
It turned out that Chu Li already had a better sword than the one he gave him, and Pei Ye felt disappointed in an instant.
Chu Li comforted him, "I also like the sword you gave me."
Pei Ye perked up instantly, "Originally I wanted to prepare soft armor for you, but unfortunately time is too short."
He regretted very much why he didn't discover earlier that Chu Li was Chu Chu.
Chu Li said as he put the sword back into the brocade box.
"It's okay. My uncle gave me a golden soft hedgehog armor. Don't buy it again. Do you hear me?"
Pei Ye agreed obediently, "Okay."
Xuanying lowered his eyes. Princess Chuchu had so many people around her who were kind to her.
They were generous and attentive, and all he could give in return was his life.
Chu Li opened the curtain and said to Kong Wu, "Let's go!"
Kong Wu immediately raised his whip and headed towards Tianwu Mountain.
......
Ye Hanting, who was called by Emperor Qingyuan to the imperial study to drink tea, lowered his eyes slightly.
He was worried about whether Chu Li would be safe on his journey to Tianwu Mountain.
Fortunately, Lan Yi followed and secretly protected Chu Li.
Emperor Qingyuan saw that Ye Hanting was absent-minded, "My dear Lord Ye, are you worried about something?"
Ye Hanting came back to his senses and said, "Your Majesty, I have not been feeling well recently and would like to take a few days off."
He was summoned by Emperor Qingyuan early in the morning and thought something big was going to happen, but he didn't expect that he was just here to taste tea.
Emperor Qingyuan smiled slightly, "Originally, I wanted you to watch the competition between the crown prince and the emperor on my behalf today, and by the way, see if there are any talents that can be used among the contestants. Since Lord Ye is not feeling well, I will go find General Mu Feng."
Ye Hanting's eyes lit up. "Your Majesty has high hopes for me. How can I let you down? I am also very curious about who will win the competition between the crown prince and the emperor. I heard that there is a miracle doctor in Tianwu Mountain, and I just happened to go to see him this time."
Emperor Qingyuan nodded, "Well, Lord Ye, please take care of yourself. You are my most capable assistant. I am most worried about your poor health."
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace." Ye Hanting nodded slightly.
After he left the palace, he immediately told Chi Yan, "Go and get ready, we are going to Tianwu Mountain."
Chi Yan blew a whistle, and Hong Zao and Zhui Feng came out together.
"Master, the carriage is ready and can depart at any time, but I want to ride a fast horse to catch up with Your Highness first."
Chi Yan complained in his heart that his master was so arrogant that he would definitely not say: He would ride his horse at full speed to catch up with His Highness.
He could only bravely take the blame and face the challenge.
