Jiang Chiyu's blush made many fragments flash through his mind.

She saw more things between Huo Jin's fingers that did not belong to the present.

"gone."

Seeing that she had been frozen in place, Huo Jin urged her. The man had a worried look on his face, and Shen Yan also walked up to her. He wiped off the stains on his hands, showing the disgust in his eyes when he had just touched the second master.

"Are you scared?" Shen Yan's voice was gentle, "I'm sorry, I couldn't control it for a moment."

"No, it's nothing." Jiang Chiyu dodged Shen Yan's hand stretched out towards her, clutching the corner of Huo Jin's clothes as if he had seen a ghost.

She hid behind Huo Jin, who protected her and said to Shen Yan: "A lot of things happened tonight. My wife may be frightened and won't accompany Mr. Shen."

"It's okay, I was negligent." Shen Yan looked at the two people's retreating figures, his expression still calm.

The night was too long, and they could only spend one night in the village. The road down the mountain was dark, and many of the roads were blown through.

Huo Jin kept holding her hand and didn't let go. After walking some distance, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Shen Yan didn't seem surprised about the things in the cave. The smell of gunpowder on his body was too strong." Jiang Chiyu said that it was completely different from them.

During the whole process, Shen Yan acted too calmly.

"Even you were shocked by gunpowder, why should he be a businessman?"

Huo Jin paused and looked at Jiang Chiyu, their eyes meeting each other: "What about you?"

He asked back, catching Jiang Chiyu off guard. Only then did Jiang Chiyu realize that he had exposed too much in front of Huo Jin!

Yes, what about her!

A concubine who was born in a wealthy family knew that even the governor of the dynasty didn't know the secret. How could she not make Huo Jin suspicious.

"I, I... didn't I tell you, I read it in the book, and... that... have you forgotten? When we were in Yijia Town, I talked about that saint with Ruoruo."

Jiang Chiyu had an idea and pushed these things onto the woman who might be a time traveler.

Huo Jin was still doubtful, so he said "oh" and gave Jiang Chiyu a meaningful look.

Then he left. After taking a few steps, he seemed to think of something again. He turned around and took Jiang Chiyu's hand, holding it tightly.

The night wind was full of the smell of gunpowder, and all I could hear was Huo Jin's faint words: "No matter who you are, I promised you that I will protect you."

"what?"

"Hurry up and go."

Huo Jin urged, and the two returned to their residence. It was a long night, and Jiang Chiyu barely slept. As soon as she closed her eyes, she connected what happened in the past few days together.

She lay on the bed, feeling like someone had kidnapped her to Cangzhou on purpose, not for her life, but to pave the way for something.

"If you don't sleep all night, you won't be able to walk safely down the mountain. I won't carry you on my back."

"I'm not that weak." Jiang Chiyu stuck out her tongue. She stood up and went outside. "My lord, you better protect yourself."

"..."

They prepared to go down the mountain early in the morning. It was only after dawn that they saw the appearance of the entire village. Almost all of them had been razed to the ground and completely blown up.

There was a flash of shock in Huo Jin's eyes. Perhaps he didn't expect the gunpowder to have such great stamina.

"What the hell is it? There isn't even a complete part." Mu Qingming quickly walked to Jiang Chiyu and asked her for the details of the gunpowder.

But when Jiang Chiyu said those two words, he saw Shen Yan coming towards them again, and Jiang Chiyu deliberately tested him.

Shen Yan was still not surprised.

"Mr. Shen has traveled all over the country, have you ever heard of gunpowder?" Jiang Chiyu couldn't hold back and asked anyway.

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment: "I don't know, but this thing is very powerful. With Lord Du Gong here, I feel at ease."

"..."

Shen Yan looked at Huo Jin with a smile, as if he was flattering, and the corner of Jiang Chiyu's mouth twitched: "I thought Master Shen knew."

"I don't know. I was just kidnapped by force. I have no intention of getting involved in these things. But is it another great achievement for the Governor to eliminate the bandits this time?"

Huo Jin didn't answer, his eyes showed a faint indifference towards Shen Yan.

The group of people went down the mountain, but Shen Yan was like a little tail. Mu Qingming leaned next to Jiang Chiyu and reminded: "You have to pay closer attention. Some men are more knowledgeable than women."

"Ahem." Jiang Chiyu almost choked to death at Mu Qingming's words. He had so much on his mind.

Mu Qingming was very excited: "I thought Shen Yan was interested in you, but unexpectedly he wanted to poach you. Xiaoyu'er, don't blame me for not reminding you. Since the founding of this dynasty, there has been a more famous Duanxiu. Besides, Huo People like Jin... there haven't been many women around him since he was a child, so I can't guarantee..."

Mu Qingming winked at Jiang Chiyu, probably because the second boss had hurt him too much.

So much so that when I saw Shen Yan like this, I immediately started thinking about that kind of thing.

The corners of Jiang Chiyu's mouth twitched and he rubbed his eyebrows helplessly: "That is to say, is there a possibility that I am not your true wife?"

"Huh? Why not? He married you and called you his wife to the outside world. He can't do things like start a mess and then give up."

"I don't like him." Jiang Chiyu said seriously, "I just want to do my best to detoxify him, and then..."

"You want to leave?"

Mu Qingming became nervous. He looked into Jiang Chiyu's eyes, where the light of freedom flashed.

She doesn't want to be bound, she even yearns for freedom.

"Not necessarily, just take it one step at a time."

Jiang Chiyu hurriedly followed Huo Jin's footsteps, and Mu Qingming's heart skipped a beat. From the beginning, they were not the same kind of people.

Jiang Chiyu just accidentally broke into this chess game. She had little involvement with Huo Jin, and their interactions were very few.

"Why are you so careless?" Huo Jin grabbed Jiang Chiyu with one hand and watched the woman run down.

He was afraid that Jiang Chiyu would fall.

Shen Yan said meaningfully: "Your Excellency and Madam have a very deep relationship, which is really enviable."

"Why has Mr. Shen never married? You are also the young head of the Shen family, so why haven't you ever thought about getting married?"

Huo Jin changed the topic and looked like he didn't want to covet his wife.

Shen Yan sighed helplessly: "I haven't met the one I like yet. If I like her, I will naturally marry her home. I didn't expect that the emperor would actually act as a matchmaker this time."

Shen Yan spoke very sourly, and he was no longer as gentle as before.

Jiang Chiyu felt uncomfortable when she heard his sinister tone, as if she had robbed him of his man.

That feels strange to someone.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Shen Yan pointed to the carriage not far away: "Sir, are you coming with me?"

"No, we have a carriage."

"That's a real pity. There isn't much to go forward, so let's go our separate ways."
