Logically speaking, the current Zhu Yiwei are also their opponents, and no fewer than twenty or thirty Zhu Yiwei assassins have died at the hands of the two!
Those assassins from the Crimson Guard died on the battlefield while carrying out their missions, so they could be considered to have died a worthy death! But the dozen or so Crimson Guards that Emperor An ordered to be strangled died without any value!
For a tyrannical ruler like Emperor An, even loyal subordinates could lose their lives because of a sudden whim of his!
Anyone who has experienced this would feel uncomfortable.
After all, the person sitting on the dragon throne in Anguo is really not human!
“Having compassion doesn’t mean being indecisive!” However, Wei Tingyu could only adjust his mindset and look at Ren Ruyi, saying, “Perhaps what you learned in the Zhuyiwei taught you that compassion can also be a sin!”

Chapter 198 Catching Adultery? Ren Ruyi and Chu Yue's Awkward Meeting!
"In addition, you have a strong personality and believe that assassins should not have any emotional fluctuations!"
"But Ruyi! You are a human being, not a puppet!"
Wei Tingyu could only try his best to soothe Ren Ruyi's true self during this period, and only he could do that!
Fifteen minutes later, Ren Ruyi slowly fell asleep in Wei Tingyu's arms.
He also knew that this woman was carrying too much on her shoulders at this moment, so much so that she could not find any other place to feel at ease except in his arms!
……
"Princess! Where are we going?" The next morning, Princess Chuyue was riding a horse through the market with her maid when her maid yawned and muttered something under her breath.
The county princess dragged me out of bed early this morning to ride horses with her!
It would be exhilarating to gallop through the horse farm after leaving the city, but the county princess just happened to be leading him around this market!
Seeing so many people on the road, I could only ride my horse slowly, which was really uncomfortable.
"..." Chu Yue, hearing the maid's complaint, also pouted speechlessly and said, "Really! Such a big city like Andu has absolutely no fun places..."
"Is that really the reason?" Upon hearing the county princess's words, the maid couldn't help but roll her eyes.
However, it was fortunate that she had grown up with Chuyue since childhood, which allowed her to be so presumptuous and rude. Of course, Chuyue had seen all of this.
"What do you mean?" Chu Yue frowned, raised her riding crop, and asked, after hearing the maid's complaints and seeing the eye roll, "I'm warning you, don't get any wild ideas, or you'll be punished by not getting lunch today..."
"..." The maid was not afraid when she saw Chu Yue raise her whip, after all, she knew Chu Yue's personality very well.
Although the two had been master and servant since childhood, they were used to playing around and fighting when no one was around.
So instead of being afraid of Chuyue's threat, she spoke her mind without reservation.
“We say we’re just strolling around, but I think we’ve been wandering the streets for a good hour. It’s not like we’re just aimlessly wandering around!” The maid pouted and looked at Chuyue, who was glaring at her with her cute big eyes but pretending to be fierce, and said, “The county princess has been leading me around and around, but haven’t we been staying near the post station?”
"If you want to see the Marquis of Jining, why don't you just go to the post station and find him openly?"
"Now that the marriage is arranged, why are you still so shy? You're not like yourself at all!"
When the maid said this, it sounded more like she was complaining.
Chu Yue blushed immediately upon hearing this!
"Who wants to see him?" The little girl tilted her head back and said stubbornly, "It's just that the streets around here are more bustling and there are more fun things to do!"
"I brought you here purely for a stroll, it has nothing to do with him..." However, while Princess Chuyue was still being stubborn, her eyes suddenly caught sight of Wei Tingyu riding his red steed named Xunmei past on the street ahead.
"Sigh..." The moment Wei Tingyu's figure appeared, Princess Chuyue's gaze suddenly sharpened, and she followed his back uncontrollably into the distance.
At the same time, he couldn't even be stubborn anymore, and a smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of his mouth!
His expression and eyes were full of surprise!
Seeing this, the maid couldn't help but roll her eyes even more. This was just now, and she was still being stubborn in front of her.
You've already given yourself away as soon as the real person appears!
However, before she could finish her internal monologue, the two women suddenly froze in place.
Ren Ruyi, dressed in a fiery red outfit, was also riding a fine horse, galloping behind Wei Tingyu. The two were only a few steps apart.
"Who is that woman?" Princess Chuyue was taken aback, and finally turned to look at the maid beside her before asking, "Is she with the Marquis?"
Seeing that Chu Yue's expression clearly showed some jealousy, the maid quickly shook her head and said, "This servant doesn't know either, but I heard that the Marquis of Jining accompanied Prince Da Wu on horseback to our Andu with a few people... It's possible that she's one of Prince Da Wu's maids?"
"The Prince Li's maid?" Chu Yue frowned. She naturally didn't believe the maid's explanation, because it just didn't make sense no matter how she thought about it.
From the woman's riding posture and movements, Chuyue could tell that she was definitely a trained athlete.
An ordinary maid could never have such skills!
Besides, if she really was Prince Li's maid, what was the meaning of her riding out alone with Wei Tingyu and heading towards the city gates together?
No! I absolutely have to go and see for myself!
Having thought this through, Princess Chuyue said no more, spurred her horse and chased after him, shouting to her maid, "Go back to the manor! Don't follow me!"
The maid was initially worried and instinctively wanted to follow, but she stopped the reins after hearing the county princess's words.
Come to think of it, our county princess is used to being wild and would never get into trouble on the grasslands, let alone here in Andu.
Besides, she's going to pursue her fiancé, so no matter what, he'll protect her!
Thinking of this, the maid turned around and rode back to the Duke of Chu's mansion.
……
"So, you said you'd take me out of the city just to enjoy the scenery?" On a small path outside Andu, Wei Tingyu and Ren Ruyi rode side by side through the mountains and rivers, enjoying the gentle breeze, light rain, birdsong, and fragrant flowers. Ren Ruyi's mood was much better than before.
“You’ve been carrying so much on your shoulders…” Wei Tingyu smiled at Ren Ruyi and said, “This is the only way I can help you relax!”
"Hmm!" Ren Ruyi was also moved when she saw Wei Tingyu's smile.
But then she glanced behind her and laughed again: "Why is there a little tail following you along when you're just accompanying me?"
“The Princess of Chuyue in western Shazhou!” Wei Tingyu, having naturally noticed the little tail following them, smiled and replied, “She saw us when we were passing through the market just now…”
"She wouldn't be after me, would she?" Ren Ruyi's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she looked at Wei Tingyu and said, "It seems the Marquis is having an affair again?"
Her tone suggested a hint of jealousy, but her expression remained remarkably calm, even carrying a touch of teasing.
"The marriage has been arranged!" Wei Tingyu naturally wouldn't hide this from Ren Ruyi!
He smiled and said, "But the sincerity of the people of the western desert is truly remarkable! They've basically given half of the western desert as a dowry for this young lady!"
"The Duke of Chu is also willing?" Upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words, Ren Ruyi's expression turned to shock.
Because the western tribe of Shaxi is a major tribe that can directly influence the political situation of the entire Anguo! Half of Shaxi became Princess Chuyue's dowry, so Duke Chuguo really went all out!
Moreover, if what Wei Tingyu said is true, then this couldn't possibly be a private engagement between him and Princess Chuyue! Duke Chu himself must have done his best to facilitate it!
"Of course!" Wei Tingyu said, becoming somewhat smug. He looked at Ren Ruyi with a hint of pride and said, "This only proves that Duke Chu has a keen eye and can see that I am no ordinary person!"
"Hmph!" Ren Ruyi couldn't help but snort when she saw Wei Tingyu's arrogant and showy appearance, but she couldn't refute it.
At the same time, he secretly admired Duke Chu's excellent judgment! At least it was no less than his own!
As for whether Princess Chuyue herself was willing, Ren Ruyi hadn't even considered that possibility.
In her opinion, as long as Wei Tingyu takes action, no woman in the world can resist the Marquis's charm!
Just by looking at how Princess Chuyue was sneaking around like a little tail behind the two of them but didn't dare to show herself, Ren Ruyi knew that this girl had probably already fallen into Wei Tingyu's "trap"!
Thinking of this, Ren Ruyi's eyes darted around, and she used her lightness skill to easily jump in front of Wei Tingyu's horse and sit in his lap.
The two of them rode together on horseback, and their posture of hugging and embracing on horseback was quite ambiguous!
"What are you doing..." Wei Tingyu subconsciously hugged Ren Ruyi, who had sat down next to him, but at the same time asked.
However, he didn't need to say anything more, because he immediately understood.
So Ren Ruyi is a little jealous after all!
So that's why he deliberately acted so intimately with her, hoping to provoke the other person into "catching him cheating"?
As expected, after Ren Ruyi's actions, Princess Chuyue, who had been secretly observing the two of them, blushed.
However, it was clear that this time she wasn't shy, but angry!
"Who...who is she?!" Her fiancé was embracing another woman right under her nose?!
And she could only sneak behind from afar! This caused Princess Chuyue's temper to flare up instantly!
Although she already knew that Wei Tingyu must have many wives and concubines in his mansion in the capital, they were in Andu right now!
Since none of Wei Tingyu's wives and concubines came with him, she was the only woman in Andu who was engaged to him!
Of course, we have the right to interfere in his affairs with other women!
Thinking of this, Chu Yue spurred her horse on, wanting to gallop over and get to the bottom of things! She also wanted to see exactly what this vixen who had seduced her future husband looked like!
However, the horse had only taken two steps forward under her urging when she pulled on the reins and brought it to a stop!
Because Chu Yue's personality has matured considerably compared to her previous fearless and wild self.
If I just rush up there, wouldn't that make the Marquis lose face? In that case, the woman clinging sweetly to the Marquis's arms would only make me look more arrogant and rude!
No! I can't be that stupid! Chuyue's little eyes darted around twice, and this possibility quickly came to mind.
Moreover, if she were to rush over and question Wei Tingyu recklessly, the outcome would most likely be in that direction!
