C432 Cold tea

Under the scorching sun, roars resounded throughout the training field. A group of men, bare-chested and holding Cherry Blades, were training under Du Changfeng's orders to assassinate him. As they watched their movements, Du Changfeng revealed a satisfied expression.

But all of a sudden, the orderly scene became chaotic. The man who had been so awe-inspiring became flustered in the blink of an eye, like ants on a hot pan scurrying around.

Du Changfeng sighed in his heart, in the end, they were just a mob, and couldn't take it anymore. But when he turned his head to look, he nearly ran away with his arms wrapped around his head as well. He immediately picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on randomly, his face dark as he berated Shi Yingying who was already in front of him, "What are you doing here? This is nonsense! "

"Do you think I want to come?" Shi Yingying snorted, and pointed to the small boy behind him. "It's too hot, I'm afraid you guys might get heat stroke, my father told me to bring some cold tea over."

"You clearly know that these are all men, why would a girl like you follow me here?" "You made it look so good!"

Shi Yingying looked at the crooked clothes on his body and giggled, "You don't know what I came here for? If you don't agree to my request, my father will ask me to come every day. "

Du Changfeng's face darkened, "Tell your father that there was no discussion regarding that matter, I do not plan to get married right now."

"My father said that you won't be able to escape Prince Chu's marriage."

"Don't mention him to me!" When Morong Gan was mentioned, Du Changfeng was extremely furious. He thought that he had gotten the upper hand and everything was going well, but in the end, everything was ruined by Liu Maoquan. Liu Maoquan recuperated in the city for a few days before returning to town. The two towns were not far from each other, and when he received the letter, he went over to find him in the dark.

After hearing that, Liu Maoquan took the whip that the Prince Chu had bestowed to him and shouted at the entrance of the town, determined to find the person who beat him and fiercely whip him dozens of times. He even said that if he dared to lay his hands on an imperial court official, he would be extremely daring, and would not even look at the relationship between him and the Prince Chu, if the Prince Chu knew about this, he would definitely lose his head.

The heavens were unfair to him, the first time, he had agreed to marry Bai Qianfan to him, but in the end, the first thing he saw was Prince Chu reneging on his promise without any shame. The second time, the first thing he met was probably his, or was the Prince Chu fighting him for it, how could he not feel hatred?

The most infuriating thing was that the Prince Chu still pretended to be obedient after getting the cut. Seeing that his jokes were not enough, he even made a match for him, it was Shi Yingying. This was the first time in Du Changfeng's life that he had ever seen such a valiant girl chasing after him with all her might.

He narrowed his eyes and sized up Shi Yingying who was three steps away from him. Under the sunlight, a sixteen year old girl stood tall and straight, her face and plate could be considered to be rather beautiful, her long, shapely eyebrows were vertical and her eyes were round. There was an unyielding stubbornness on her face, and for a moment, he was actually a little dazed, as if he could see Bai Qianfan's shadow on her face.

He lifted his sleeves and wiped his sweat before urging impatiently, "Go back, quickly go back. This is not a place you should be."

Shi Yingying glanced at him sideways, "It's not like I came here just for you." She bent down and scooped up a spoonful of tea for the boy. She poured the brown tea into a bowl, clear to the bottom, spooning but not forgetting to shout, "Come drink, drink, put in licorice and honeysuckle, relieve the heat!"

She wore an embroidered silk dress with a shining Pearl Hairpin on her head. She looked rich and powerful, but when paired with her actions and shouts, it was a bit out of place.

As Du Changfeng watched on, the anger in his heart unknowingly disappeared.

Suddenly, Shi Yingying raised her head and the two of their gazes met. He looked away in embarrassment.

After a while, the servant brought a bowl of cold tea to him, "General Du, please have a drink. The Miss had this one bring this over to you."

Du Changfeng took a big gulp from it. As expected, it tasted sweet and raw, and was slightly satisfied with the taste.

"Thank your boss for me. There's no need to send me any more. We have some cold water here."

The waiter smiled and said, "How can cold water be compared to cold tea? Early in the morning, our boss had the kitchen boil up with medicinal herbs. After boiling them for two hours, you will even have to pour them in a bucket to dry, and then when it's the hottest time in the afternoon, we will send them over to help you relieve the heat. "With so many people here, it's been several times since we started cooking." He pointed at the vat that he had picked up, "For you to drink for the whole afternoon, it's all thanks to our boss."

His heart was his, but he was afraid that it was mainly to give Shi Yingying a chance to get close to him.

"I appreciate your kindness, but don't send me off tomorrow. For soldiers who march and fight, it's good enough to have saliva to drink. It's not good to get used to these things."

The servant chuckled, "This one will be in charge of bringing the general's message. As for what boss thinks, this one doesn't care. Besides, this one also has our young miss …" He stopped in mid-sentence, smiling meaningfully.

Other than a bitter smile, Du Changfeng had nothing else.

On the other side, the men gathered around Shi Yingying, praising him endlessly.

"Miss Shi, you are really great. You still remember to bring us cold tea in such a hot day."

"Miss Shi, in the future, please send me off for this matter. With such a big sun, you will have to bear the burden yourself. We really feel sorry for it."

"Housekeeper Shi is a man with a human nature. Two days ago, Liang Family's wife set up a pot of wine at the Drunken Immortal Tavern. Like father, like daughter. Miss Shi is as kind as your father! "

Shi Yingying cleared her throat, but could not hold back the praise. She stood in the crowd, her face flushed red, a pair of watery big eyes flushed red, and as she shouted, he responded, "Duo, drink some tea to cool the summer, you guys have all sweated so much, you guys have to replenish the water … My father said to send you off every day, and it won't be easy for you to protect your family and take care of your country. If you run short, go eat and drink Drunken Immortal Tavern, our family will act as a support for you. "

"Aiyo, Housekeeper Shi is too courteous, Miss Shi is too straightforward a person, who would have the luck to marry you in the future, that would be great fortune!"

Shi Yingying's face was flushed red, her gaze slanted to look under the tree. Du Changfeng stood there with a bowl of cold tea in his hand, probably hearing what they were saying, but her face did not show any expression.

She pretended to sigh, "Hai, I probably won't be able to get married and won't be able to count on you. My dad won't mind it, but my family can afford to keep it."

Someone knew about the matter between Shi Yingying and Du Changfeng, and purposely said loudly, "Miss Shi need not worry, Prince Chu has personally pointed out the marriage between you, there can't be any mistake, we generals cannot wipe away our face, but when we see you here, we must actually be happy."

Everyone looked at Du Changfeng who had suddenly started laughing out loud. Du Changfeng had a complete mess of face, and started blaming Shi Yingying in her heart. He was a general after all, how could he lead troops in the future if her subordinate sees him as a joke?

"Alright, alright, drink well and gather!" He walked over and returned the bowl to the servant. Without even looking at Shi Yingying, he said, "Thank you for your cold tea. Please go back.

Shi Yingying muttered: "You got it!" She called the waiter to clear the tea bowl and the water bucket before carrying it away.

Du Changfeng gathered the people and lectured. In the light, that graceful figure of hers was not slow, and quickly disappeared from his line of sight.
