Chapter 341 She Does Not Save Those Who Seek Death
Shen Shuyi turned his head and looked at the two brothers who had grown a lot taller in just a few days, and couldn't help but smile.
"How does it feel?" Shen Shuyi asked.
Zhao Baokun said, "That's great. I heard there will be a lot of competitions during this autumn hunt. I really want to try my hand at it."
At this point, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and he said regretfully: "Unfortunately, the Qingyuan Marquisate can only hide its incompetence, and we don't even need to participate."
Emperor Qianwu was being considerate by keeping the Qingyuan Marquisate. He might not be willing to see them stand out. The more trouble they made, the more annoyed the emperor would probably be.
Thinking of this, Zhao Baopeng turned his head to look at the arena built on the side of the tent, with a little more desire in his eyes.
He never dared to slack off in his martial arts training over the years.
But it has been so long since he last competed with the generals and young men in the capital, and he has no idea of his current level.
Shen Shuyi's hair and skirt were blown up by the mountain breeze. The girl was wearing a dogwood pink cloak and had an upright posture. Although her brows were cold, her eyes were somewhat gentle.
"Do you want to play so badly?"
Zhao Baopeng nodded, while Zhao Baokun pretended not to care and said, "It's okay if you don't play. It's useless even if you win."
Shen Shuyi smiled and said softly: "Why don't men take Wu Gou and take over the fifty states of Guanshan. It's not shameful to want to make achievements."
Zhao Baokun's eyes were complicated after his thoughts were exposed. He said slowly, "Cousin, do we still have a chance?"
Shen Shuyi looked straight at him with her almond-shaped eyes and said in a deep voice: "Now is the opportunity."
This sentence made the two brothers stunned: "What does this mean, cousin?"
Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were cold and clear: "This time, I want you to use all your abilities to get the best results."
"Cousin, but if the old man finds out, he will probably beat us to death..." Zhao Baokun frowned and spoke, but his eyes lit up uncontrollably, as if he was ready to be beaten to a pulp by the old man.
"Cousin, do you have other plans?" Zhao Baopeng also spoke.
Shen Shuyi did not answer their questions. He turned around and looked at the tents that were almost connected to each other within a radius of 100 miles, and the flags fluttering in the wind, and said softly: "The Zhao family has been silent for too long. It's time to fight again."
The sound was so light that it almost disappeared in the wind.
But inexplicably, the two brothers' blood boiled, their throats tightened, and they couldn't wait to show their skills.
Shen Shuyi didn't say much, just said this and left.
Zhao Baokun squatted on the low slope, holding a piece of dry grass in the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "The old man has always forbidden us to show off, saying that it will affect the whole mansion."
Zhao Baopeng stood aside and said in a muffled voice: "Dad also said that if we dare to cause trouble, he will kill us as a sacrifice."
Zhao Baokun said again: "Mother told us not to dream of fame, wealth and power in this life, otherwise she would break our legs."
Zhao Baopeng said again: "Grandma told us to be more tolerant and live well."
The two of them sighed at the same time and looked at each other. Zhao Baokun said, "Damn! You've got a big scar on your head! I'm not going to take this humiliation anymore!"
Zhao Baopeng's slightly dark face also showed a smile: "Don't let Dad know yet, if your leg is broken, there will be no way to compete."

The two of them had a very good discussion, but what they didn't expect was that as soon as they returned to the tent, Zhao Dechuan called them over for a lecture.
"Did you meet Shuyi girl today?"
Zhao Baopeng was still acting like a taciturn person, while Zhao Baokun was pretending to be stupid: "Dad, when did this happen? You heard what that bastard said!"
Zhao Dechuan laughed angrily: "You two little bastards, you are still pretending to be good! Don't think I don't know what Shu Yi said to you!"
"Dad, how did you know?" Zhao Baokun asked, determined not to be tricked by Zhao Dechuan.
Zhao Dechuan looked at the two men with a serious expression and said in a deep voice, "You have made up your mind."
The two brothers were silent for a while, then Zhao Dechuan sighed and said, "Forget it, let you do it this time. It doesn't make sense that the old man can't be as brave as the young one."
"father……"
Zhao Baokun wanted to say something, but Zhao Dechuan waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, get out and stop bothering your father!"
Zhao Baokun: "..."
Zhao Baopeng: “…”
After driving away the two unfilial sons, Zhao Dechuan paced back and forth in the tent. Madam Zhao looked at him and said, "Do you really want Brother Kun and Brother Peng to take this risk? Can you trust what Shu Yi said?"
That’s right, the message was sent by Shen Shuyi.
She does not save those who seek death, nor does she help those who give up on themselves.
If the Zhao family believes her, they must make a choice.
Zhao Dechuan sat on the chair and sighed, "Shuyi girl has good intentions, but this matter is bound to be ridiculous. My Zhao family is tabooed by His Majesty. If it is too popular, how can it end well? The emperor's mind is unpredictable. How can she help the Marquis's mansion to revive just because she says she can? It's really unrealistic!"
"Then you still..." Mrs. Zhao's eyes were full of worry.
Zhao Dechuan looked at her coldly: "What do you mean I still do? Didn't you see that those two bastards have made up their minds? Now Shuyi's words are much more useful than an old man like me."
Mrs. Zhao hesitated to speak. She wanted to say something but couldn't.
Besides, not to mention her two sons, she also likes Shen Shuyi. However, how could a girl like her understand such court affairs?
"What does my uncle say?" asked Mrs. Zhao.
"Don't mention it. This guy has been bewitched by Yi girl and is still collecting coal. Look at the situation this year. It doesn't look like a cold winter at all. With so much money invested, the Marquis' Mansion will probably lose a lot of money in business this year!" Zhao Dechuan said in a deep voice.
Mrs. Zhao murmured to herself, unable to speak.
Zhao Dechuan also said nothing. He lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent. He looked at the sky and sighed.
Is it really God's will to destroy the Zhao family?
Otherwise, why would these two people in the family listen to the nonsense of a little girl?
It's really... ridiculous!

The next day, morning.
The emperor and his officials have been settled, and his relatives and servants have also been gathered together. People are doing their respective duties, the initial chaos has dissipated, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Shen Shuyi was in a good mood and was strolling around the camp with Yao Huiyan, Shen Qinghuan, and Zhao Xueqing.
Perhaps it was because such an opportunity was rare, and everyone in the group had smiles on their faces and were obviously in a very good mood.
Not long after walking out, Shen Shuyi saw many men sparring with each other. The one who was sparring with them was Zhao Baokun.
I don’t know if it’s because he suddenly has hope in his life, or if it’s because he has been suppressed for too long, but the young man looks tall and strong, and his long sword wields particularly beautifully in the cold wind. The sharp cold light reflects the bright autumn sun, making people’s eyes hurt.
At this moment, another group of people slowly approached, surrounding a man in a dark blue robe with golden python patterns.
The man wore a gold and jadeite crown, had a feminine face and vicious eyes. At this moment, he was holding a hot water bottle with a golden dragon pattern and flowers in his hands, standing not far away, watching the confrontation between the two men.
Many people were surprised to see this person, and stepped aside and greeted him, "Greetings to His Majesty the Third Prince!"
