Spring in the East Palace

Shen Muyin stood there quietly, thinking about the meaning of Shen Zhenzhen's words.

But soon, she figured it out. This was probably a way for her to report her safety to that person and to meet at the old place.

Shen Muyin thought about that morning when Donggong sent him down the mountain and he saw Shen Zhenzhen's carriage coming back from outside. He was afraid that she had gone to meet that person.

Her thoughts became clearer and clearer.

This person might be the one who hid himself very well in the previous life.

This is also why, although she is a member of the Shen family, even though she was involved in such a shocking case, the Shen family could still remain safe and sound, and even be promoted.

Ah--

As long as she finds this person, all her problems will be solved.

Tonight is an opportunity.

After a moment of silence, Shen Muyin did not hesitate. He quickly changed into light clothes and hurried out of the house.

Fennel heard the noise and hurriedly followed: "Miss, where are you going so late at night?"

There was a reason why Huixiang was nervous. Not to mention the Shen Mansion, even in the Yan Kingdom, female members of the family were not allowed to leave the mansion at night.

What's more, it's a place like Jingfuyin. If we are discovered, it will be troublesome.

"I'm going to go out for a while." Shen Muyin said in a low voice, "You stay here."

"Miss, but..." Fennel frowned slightly and looked at Shen Muyin.

"I will definitely be back before dawn." Shen Muyin squeezed Fennel's hand, "Don't worry, okay?"

"Then I will go with you." Fennel said quickly.

"Be obedient and stay here." There was no trace of joking in Shen Mu's eyes.

Fennel bit her lip slightly and stood there awkwardly. Under Shen Muyin's insistence, she didn't dare to say anything.

Shen Muyin's figure disappeared from the Wenxiang Pavilion immediately.

As soon as Shen Muyin left the capital, she saw Shen Zhenzhen's carriage quietly driving out from the backyard. She stood in the dark and watched. The carriage was heading southeast.

If Shen Muyin remembered correctly, most of the people living in the southeast were wealthy merchants.

So the person Shen Zhenzhen wants to meet is a businessman?

Her mind was racing, but she could not imagine which merchant could so unscrupulously stir up the struggle between the two major families of Yan State.

After a moment of silence, Shen Muyin did not linger for long and followed quietly.

The carriage that Shen Zhenzhen was riding in drove on an extremely quiet path from beginning to end, and it seemed like it was trying to hide from others.

Suddenly, Shen Muyin felt a gust of wind blowing behind her, and she jumped up alertly.

The next moment, the hidden weapon came directly towards Shen Muyin. The opponent's skills were very good, and Shen Muyin had not seen the opponent's true body until now.

The hidden weapon narrowly pierced Shen Muyin's cheek into the wooden stake beside him.

If she hadn't dodged quickly, her throat would have been completely cut.

Shen Muyin forced himself to calm down, while the movement behind him became more and more obvious.

Only then did Shen Muyin notice that there was not just one killer in the dark, but five or six.

They were extremely fast and flew towards Shen Muyin.

The leading man in black said coldly: "Kill without mercy."

In an instant, there was the flash of swords and the shadow of swords.

Shen Muyin was outnumbered five by herself and was clearly no match for their opponents. She was losing ground. She had no desire to linger, probably because she knew that she had been discovered tonight.

She didn't expect that this person was so vigilant, and she didn't expect that Shen Zhenzhen had been followed by someone since the moment she entered the door to avoid any accidents.

Yes, if he wasn't so unfathomable, how could he have played the two major families in the last life.

But how could Shen Muyin let these people succeed?

She relied entirely on her sense of feeling to move quickly through the alley.

Shen Muyin had to get to the busy area of ​​the market as quickly as possible. These people were afraid of being in the light, so they naturally wouldn't appear in the market.

Although it was late at night, the pubs and red-light districts in Kyoto were still brightly lit and bustling.

But Shen Muyin underestimated these men in black, who were obviously not going to give up until they achieved their goal.

Even in this brightly lit place, they still showed no intention of stopping.

Oops--

Shen Muyin cursed softly, and the veil on her face was cut by the sword and fell down.

Without any hesitation, she turned around and hurried towards the nearest backyard of Lixianglou.

The men in black stood at the door of Lixiang Tower for a while, looking at each other, and then the leader looked calmly at the other four.

"She is injured and can't walk far. She can only stay here. Follow me to change clothes and go to Lixiang Tower to find someone. The rest of you go back and report to the master, and tell him to be careful." He ordered quickly.

Soon, the men in black disappeared into the night and went their separate ways.

at the same time--

Shen Zhenzhen's carriage stopped in front of a house. The coachman looked around and made sure that no one had discovered him before letting Shen Zhenzhen get off the carriage.

Shen Zhenzhen said nothing, wearing a veil, and walked quickly into the house.

"I missed you so much." Shen Zhenzhen walked towards a person wearing a moonlight-colored gown and spoke shyly.

The other person's eyes were extremely cold and alert, and Shen Zhenzhen was startled: "What's wrong with you? Is it not going well recently?"

As she spoke, Shen Zhenzhen gently put her arms around his waist and pressed against his chest, seducing him to the utmost.

If it were a normal day, this person would not have no reaction, but now he directly pulled Shen Zhenzhen's hand down.

Shen Zhenzhen felt even more aggrieved. But her fear of this man was instinctive, so she didn't dare to act rashly.

"You are being followed." The man said gloomily.

Shen Zhenzhen's face was slightly startled: "But when I went out, I looked carefully and there was no one."

"This man has been following you since the moment you left the capital. In addition, the carrier pigeon has been tampered with." The man continued, every word clear.

Shen Zhenzhen was a little flustered now. He raised his head and frowned at the man: "Who is it?"

"I don't know, but a woman," he finished.

When Shen Zhenzhen heard this, the first person she thought of was Shen Muyin, but she also felt it was extremely absurd.

How could it be that woman from the country?

"Do you have any suspicions?" He could easily see what Shen Zhenzhen was thinking.

"Shen Muyin." Shen Zhenzhen had no reservations about this person. "I don't know why, but I intuitively felt that it was her. A woman from the countryside, she is much more powerful than I thought."

As he spoke, Shen Zhenzhen raised his head and looked at the man seriously.

"I think we should advance our plans. We really can't keep this woman. If something goes wrong and ruins your plans, that wouldn't be..." Shen Zhenzhen bit her lip slightly.

The man didn't say anything, and Shen Zhenzhen didn't dare to act rashly. She was really scared.

After a long while, the man spoke solemnly: "I know how to handle this matter."

"Okay." Shen Zhenzhen nodded.

The man then looked down at Shen Zhenzhen, and hooked his big hand around Shen Zhenzhen's veil. Shen Zhenzhen subconsciously grabbed his hand.

"I'm not well yet." Shen Zhenzhen responded.

"You're still here to see me, aren't you?" The man lowered his head and chuckled.

It sounded very nice. His handsome face made him shine brightly in the moonlight. Shen Zhenzhen's heart beat fast: "I miss you very much, but I'm also afraid that you don't want me anymore."

"No." He replied, "As long as Zhenzhen is obedient."

"I will be obedient." Shen Zhenzhen didn't hesitate at all.

The man took off Shen Zhenzhen's veil and then took her towards the house.

The moonlight stretched the two people's shadows very long. The house was quiet, but in such a quiet night, there was a hint of murderous intent.

Chilling.
