After a while, after Mi Jiang diagnosed Shen Yu and applied medicine to bandage the injury, Zhao Hongrun couldn't wait to ask about Shen Yu's injury. [(〔＜网
At this time, the other nine clan guards had arrived, and they all looked at Shen Yu lying on the bed with worried eyes.
Under the eager and expectant eyes of Zhao Hongrun and the other nine sect guards, Mi Jiang shook his head and said: "As you said, the injury on the chest is just a skin injury. I think Chen Xiao gave up his strength at the last moment. ,but……"
Hearing this, everyone in the room looked at Shen Yu subconsciously.
Shen Yu was seen lying on the bed with a sad and dazed look on his face, staring at his raised right hand.
The wrist of his right hand has been bandaged with medicine, but for some reason, no matter how hard Shen Yu gritted his teeth, held his breath, and moved his fingers with all his strength, his fingers could only bend slightly and were trembling.
After a while, Shen Yu raised his head, rested the back of his head on the backrest at one end of the bed, and then let out a long breath.
…
Everyone in the room was silent.
Shen Yu, it’s over.
Although his life was safe, his career as a warrior ended here.
The tendon of his hand was injured, and the injury was on his dominant right hand.
Can a Zongwei who can't even lift a sword still be considered a Zongwei?
Just when all the sect guards were feeling sad about the disaster of their sect guard chief Shen Yu, they saw Zhao Hongrun coming to the bed and saying with a smile: "Shen Yu, you hateful guy, you are obviously fine, just now. But he pretended to be dying."
"Your Highness..."
Shen Yu looked up at Zhao Hongrun.
After getting along with him for seven or eight years, he knew his highness very well. He knew that the latter deliberately said such words to make him feel at ease, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
Moved, he begged: "Your Highness, please don't convict Chen Xiao. This matter is just an accidental injury, and he doesn't want to..."
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun's face darkened slightly.
You must know that in his mind, there is almost no difference between the clan guards and his relatives, and now Chen Xiao actually hurt Shen Yu. Even though it was the wrong hand, it hurt Shen Yu's hand tendon. Even if Chen Xiao He was the son of Chen Bing, the former magistrate of Zhaoling County, who was a loyal and heroic hero. Zhao Hongrun even thought about killing him to avenge Shen Yu.
He, Zhao Hongrun, has never been a selfless person. Anyone who hurts the people he values will inevitably be retaliated by His Highness Prince Su tenfold or a hundredfold.
It was precisely because he understood the character of His Highness that Shen Yu began to intercede for Chen Xiao, because if he did not intercede, Chen Xiao would most likely suffer the same retaliation, and he might even be raped by Zhao Hongrun for this matter. Ordered to be executed.
"Now that things have happened, do you still think about others?" Zhao Hongrun said somewhat unhappily.
Hearing this, Shen Yu said with a smile: "That is no one else...Chen Xiao is the son of Chen Bing, the former magistrate of Zhaoling County, and His Highness has always respected Chen Bing. If Chen Xiao is harmed because of this, His Highness will decide in the future You will regret it. What's more, Chen Xiao is a rare warrior, and his martial arts skills are even better than those of our Zongwei generation. Such a hero should not die in prison."
Zhao Hongrun was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said perfunctorily: "Let me think about it."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Yu did not persuade him again. After all, he also understood that if Zhao Hongrun was asked to release Chen Xiao at this moment, the latter would obviously not agree.
We can only wait for His Highness to calm down slowly.
However, from this, Shen Yu also felt the relationship between His Royal Highness Prince Su and them, the clan guards, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
After giving Shen Yu a few words to rest in peace and recuperate, Zhao Hongrun walked out of the house with a gloomy face.
Seeing this, Zongwei Weijiao wanted to replace Shen Yu and guard Zhao Hongrun, but was stopped by Shen Yu.
"Mu Qing, follow His Highness."
Shen Yu ordered.
Zongwei Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something. After sighing slightly, he nodded and followed Zhao Hongrun.
The other eight clan guards were still standing in the room where Shen Yu was recovering from his injuries, because he had vaguely guessed what Shen Yu was going to explain to them.
"Wei Jiao." After Shen Yu glanced around at all the sect guards, his eyes finally focused on Wei Jiao, and he said in a tone that could not be refuted: "From now on, you will replace me as the chief of the sect guards."
"Are you kidding?!"
Although Wei Jiao had vaguely expected it, when these words came out of Shen Yu's mouth, Wei Jiao's face turned red with anger.
It is undeniable that when the ten clan guards were first assigned to Zhao Hongrun by the clan government, they refused to obey anyone, including Shen Yu, the clan captain.
After all, Shen Yu was not the best in the clan back then.
When it comes to military force, Chu Heng is the best; when it comes to strategy, Lu Mu, Gao Kuo and Zhongzhao are the most outstanding; when it comes to potential, Mu Qing is the most anticipated.
Back then, Shen Yu was named the Zong Wei Chief by Zhao Hongrun just because he was the eldest.
But after so many years, the Zongwei who were dissatisfied with each other at the beginning have now become brothers and sisters, and have become accustomed to Shen Yu, the eldest brother, being the Chief of the Zongwei.
Now that Shen Yu suddenly appointed Wei Jiao as the chief of the clan's defense, this was simply a humiliation for Wei Jiao, and seemed to be a sign that Shen Yu did not trust him, Wei Jiao.
Fortunately, Shen Yu saw the excitement on Wei Jiao's face and hurriedly explained: "Wei Jiao, I am not saying this to flatter you. You have also seen that I can't even move my fingers now, so how can I protect His Highness? "
"But His Highness doesn't care at all!" Zongwei Gao Kuo frowned and said, "Your Highness still has us and King Su's guards, so you don't need to do it yourself."
"Having said that..." Shen Yu sighed deeply and did not say any more, but just shook his head silently.
The Zongwei immediately understood that Shen Yu had appointed Wei Jiao as the Zongwei Chief for no other reason than because of his pride and his inability to accept that he, who was almost a useless person, was still serving as the Zongwei Chief.
In the past, Shen Yu served as the chief of Zong Wei. He was confident that he could protect Zhao Hongrun, so he felt at ease in this position. But now, he has injured his hand tendon and his martial arts is almost completely disabled. How can he continue to sit in this position?
But knowing it clearly does not mean that the sect guards will accept it.
Take Wei Jiao for example. He slapped Shen Yu's injured chest hard. He grinned in pain and said coldly: "In short, I will guard your highness on your behalf, but you guy, don't do it." I am lazy and take good care of myself."
After that, he rolled his sleeves and left the house.
"This guy..." Shen Yu covered his chest with his left hand. Wei Jiao's blow made him feel heartbroken.
"Take good care of yourself, you bastard!"
"As the chief of the clan's defense, you actually run away from the battle. How shameful, Shen Yu!"
The sect guards criticized Shen Yu insincerely, but their purpose was self-evident.
At the same time, Zhao Hongrun was outside the house asking Mi Jiang about the wound on Shen Yu's hand tendon.
In this regard, Mi Jiang's answer made Zhao Hongrun very disappointed.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover... The tendons of the hands and hamstrings are no better than skin injuries. If they are broken, it will be like losing a limb. Although I have carefully diagnosed Shen Yu's hand tendons and Chen Xiao has not completely severed them, but even if Shen Yu recovers in the future, I'm afraid Yu’s right hand is not as flexible as before..."
"Are there any obstacles in daily life?" Zhao Hongrun asked anxiously.
"That's not the case, but..." Looking at Zhao Hongrun, Mi Jiang said in a low voice: "It is very likely that I will never be able to lift heavy objects again in the future."
Unable to lift heavy objects...
Zhao Hongrun was silent.
At this time, Zong Wei Mu Qing and Wei Jiao were already chasing after them.
Zhao Hongrun thought for a while, then followed Mu Qing and Wei Jiao to the cell in Shangshui County.
Yes, at this moment, Chen Xiao has been ordered to be thrown into prison by him.
It was not because he attempted to attack Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu, but because he seriously injured Shen Yu, the Zongwei chief beside Zhao Hongrun.
"Crack!"
The sergeant Shang Shui who acted as the jailer opened the door of the cell. Zhao Hongrun stepped in and looked at Chen Xiao who was chained in the cell.
At this time, there were actually many people in the Shangshui County jail, but Chen Xiao was the only one who was locked up in a cell alone and was shackled.
It's no wonder, after all, once this person escapes from trouble, he will not be able to be subdued by ordinary soldiers.
"King Su..."
When Zhao Hongrun came in, Chen Xiao was stunned. It was not until he heard the sound of footsteps close at hand that Chen Xiao raised his head and looked at Zhao Hongrun and Zong Wei beside the latter with complicated eyes.
In the past, Zhao Hongrun would always be accompanied by Zong Wei Chief Shen Yu when he went out, but now, it was replaced by Wei Jiao and Mu Qing. Chen Xiao knew the reason best.
"How is the injury... of Chief Shen Yuzong?" Chen Xiao asked in a low voice.
After hearing this, before Zhao Hongrun could speak, Zong Weiweijiao sneered and said: "You still have the nerve to ask?... Shen Yu just wanted to control you at that time and did not intend to harm you, but what about you? Actually Are you serious?" As he spoke, he took a long breath and said coldly: "He survived by luck, but your right hand was crippled... Thanks to you, his martial arts skills have been crippled."
Chen Xiao was silent after hearing the words, and after a while he whispered: "Thank you for my gift? If King Su had not stopped me from killing Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu, how could Shen Yu do this..."
"You guy!" Wei Jiao was furious and was about to step forward to teach Chen Xiao a lesson, but Zhao Hongrun raised his hand to block him.
I saw Zhao Hongrun staring at Chen Xiao and suddenly said: "Chen Xiao, are you staying with me just to find an opportunity to kill Xiong Hu?"
"..." Chen Xiao raised his head and looked at Zhao Hongrun with a flash of strange color in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it... Just now I carefully thought about everything when I met you, and I suddenly realized that you acted stupidly, maybe you were just pretending to prevent me and the Zongwei. I'm on guard against you...Actually, you are very smart. You know that even if you go to Pingyu County of Chu State, it will be difficult to kill Xiong Hu by yourself, so you stay with me because You have been to Zhaoling and also to Shangshui. You know the current relationship between Xiong Hu and this king, and you also know that when Xiong Hu met this king, he did not have any guards around him..."
"..." Chen Xiao looked at Zhao Hongrun indifferently. Although he did not admit it, judging from his temperament, he was no longer as stupid and cold as before.
"I should have thought a long time ago that Wei Zuo of Zhongyang County could be a reckless man." Zhao Hongrun sighed, very dissatisfied with his hindsight.
At this time, Chen Xiao also raised his head and said coldly in a strange tone: "Chen did not expect that Prince Su would protect Xiong Hu to such an extent. Chen was really disappointed..."
"You guy!"
Feeling that the Chen Xiao in front of them was completely different from the Chen Xiao they had known a few days ago, Zong Weiweijiao and Mu Qing both felt like they had been deceived. (To be continued.) 8
