Shen Qingyun didn't hear what Su Chengwang meant, and the two chatted for a while before standing up to leave.
Originally, Shen Qingyun was upset because of Qiaoer's incident, thinking that Su Chengwang was older and no matter what his attitude was, he could always give Shen Qingyun some pointers.
But I didn't expect that Su Chengwang was similar to Shen Qingyun, but they just had one more troublesome person.
The uncomfortable feeling in his heart still didn't get much relief, but after chatting for a while, Shen Qingyun's mood calmed down a lot.
Not far outside Xiayang Village, several figures were hiding.
"It has been found out that the person did not fall into the hands of Qibu, but was rescued by Shen Qingyun. Shen Qingyun is the eldest son of Sinan Bo. This is the Zhuangzi of the Shen family outside the city. The person should be in Zhuangzi."
"Si Nan Bo Chen Xiong? I've heard of him. He is based in Lu'an City and he can be considered a fierce general."
"Chen Xiong once participated in the battle to overthrow the Shenwu Empire with the British Gongyuecheng of Great Chu, and was awarded the title of earl for his military merits. Shen Qingyun was his only son. However, Shen Xiong remarried, and the new wife was also pregnant. Shen Qingyun had a disagreement with the new lady and was expelled. I left the uncle's house, so I came to live here."
"Is there anything special about this Shen Qingyun?"
"Just a dandy, nothing special."
"That's strange. The people from the Seventh Division are chasing after him so closely. Since he is here with Shen Qingyun, how come the people from the Seventh Division don't know about it?"
"Yulinshan participated in the encirclement and suppression. Shen Xiong is Yue Cheng's subordinate. Perhaps because of this relationship, the people from the Seventh Division did not embarrass Shen Qingyun."
"Then he must have paid a considerable price... Tianji Box?"
"should be."
"That's not surprising. It's just a Tianji box. He didn't dare to reveal more. Otherwise, even if Yue Cheng came forward in person, the Seventh Department would definitely not let him go."
"So what do we do now?"
"The commander has a secret order. If he cannot be brought back alive, he must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Chu people. If necessary, he can be killed!"
Several people felt slightly cold in their hearts, and some hesitated: "But, after all, he was once our leader..."
"Now is definitely not the time to talk about brotherhood. This is the Kingdom of Chu. Don't hesitate. Otherwise, you will not only harm yourself, but you will not be able to complete the mission."
"Yeah." Everyone nodded slightly.
"Tonight, you first sneak into Zhuangzi to explore the truth. Once you find out the situation, you can decide the next step."
"yes."
It's night, the wind has stopped and the snow has stopped.
A black shadow cut through the night sky, jumping up and down, leaving no trace on the snow and making no sound.
In such cold weather, Shen Qingyun usually goes to bed early to fall asleep. However, because of Qiaoer's incident, Shen Qingyun was in a irritable mood and didn't feel much sleepiness. He just tossed and turned in bed.
Zhuangzi was not big, with two courtyards at the front and back, but more than ten rooms. Except for the two servants in the front courtyard, everyone else lived in the backyard.
At this time, only Qiaoer's and Zhugeyan's rooms had not turned off the lights and the fire, and these two rooms were the first to attract the black shadow's attention.
The black shadow quietly came to the outside of Qiao'er's room. Looking through the window slit, he saw a little girl sitting aside, dozing off with her head propped up. There was actually a person sleeping on the bed, but there was a girl sitting beside the bed. Judging from the style of shoes he was wearing, it seemed that there was a woman on the bed.
At this point, the black shadow also withdrew his sight.
After leaving Qiao'er's room, the shadow walked along the corridor towards Zhuge Yan's room.
"who?"
A startled shout rang in his ears, and the black shadow was startled when he heard the sound. He turned around and saw that it was Zhong Qi.
When Zhong Qi saw the person who was wearing night clothes, he didn't hesitate at all. He used force on his feet and rushed towards the black shadow.
Zhong Qi was extremely fast and arrived in front of the black shadow in the blink of an eye. He raised his hand and punched the black shadow in front of him.
The shadow ducked sideways, and at the same time a dagger slipped out of his right hand. Zhong Qi was accidentally scratched on his arm by the shadow.
Seeing this, the black shadow sprang out and leaped away.
Zhong Qi also quickly jumped onto the roof and chased after him.
"Come here, there's an assassin!" Zhong Qi shouted loudly.
Zhuge Yan heard the sound and opened the door and came out, but saw that the two people's backs had disappeared into the night. He frowned and said to himself: "Assassin, could it be..."
The black shadow was very fast. In just a few breaths, Zhong Qi was thrown away by the black shadow.
However, Zhong Qi's voice also alerted Lao Zhang and others. Just as the black shadow was about to escape, a dozen people poured out of the village and blocked the way.
"Um?"
The black shadow was slightly surprised. The people in front of him were missing arms and legs, and they were only wearing thin underwear. Two of them even ran out naked.
The night was hazy and the shadows could not clearly see their appearance, but their aura was amazing and they were definitely not ordinary villagers.
"catch him."
Zhong Qi arrived at this time.
The black shadow did not dare to hesitate and wanted to rush out forcefully.
Lao Zhangtou and others seemed to be even more excited when they saw this, and they also gathered around.
Although he was only using his bare hands, he cooperated well. Although the black shadow's movement was fast, he could not escape the entanglement of everyone.
Although the dagger in his hand is a sharp weapon, these people in front of him are very experienced, and the black shadow cannot hurt or kill them at all.
Not only Heiying was shocked, Zhong Qi and others were also extremely surprised.
My family knows my own family's affairs, and I know my own fighting power. More than ten people surrounded one person. Although they had no weapons, they were still in a stalemate.
"Master!"
Zhong Qi was secretly shocked.
After all, there are many people, but also because of the rich experience.
The circle of people surrounded became smaller and smaller, and the scope of the black shadow's activities became smaller and smaller. Seeing this, Zhong Qi stepped forward to fight with the black shadow. Lao Zhangtou and others worked together to win it down.
Seeing that the black shadow was at the end of its crossbow and was about to be captured by Zhong Qi, two whistling sounds suddenly came from the darkness, and two sharp arrows carried the wind and air, forcibly tearing apart the crowd surrounded.
"ha!"
Lao Zhangtou and others couldn't bear the air flow brought by the arrow, and were thrown to both sides. The arrow went straight towards Zhong Qi. When Zhong Qi saw this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes and he shouted in a low voice.
One of the arrows hit Zhong Qi's shoulder blade, sending Zhong Qi flying backwards and nailing him to the wall of Zhuangzi's courtyard.
Seeing this, the black shadow quickly jumped away and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.
Seeing that they could not catch up, Lao Zhangtou and others rushed to see Zhong Qi's situation.
"How are you?"
At this moment, Zhong Qi was sweating profusely, breathing unsteadily, and looked frightened.
Blood was already flowing out from the shoulder blade. Although the other arrow did not hit Zhong Qi, it was close to Zhong Qi's scalp. Zhong Qi had no doubt that if the archer was willing, this arrow could kill him. .
"What a force!"
Lao Zhangtou and others wanted to put Zhong Qi down, but they couldn't pull out the arrow no matter what.
Zhong Qi gritted his teeth, broke the tail of the arrow, and then let the arrow pass through his shoulder, blood spurting out instantly.
"Lao Qi?"
Shen Qingyun was already restless. When he heard Zhong Qi's voice, he quickly put on his clothes and came out. When he opened the door, he saw Zhong Qi spurting blood.
"What's wrong with you?" Shen Qingyun stepped forward quickly.
Zhong Qi saw Shen Qingyun and reluctantly responded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm fine."
"Is this okay?" Shen Qingyun glared and said to Lao Zhangtou and others: "Why don't you help people in?"
"oh oh..."
Only then did everyone react and hurriedly helped the person into Zhuangzi.
"Assassin, or martial arts master?"
Zhong Qi was taken off to be bandaged. Shen Qingyun was surprised and confused after hearing the report from Lao Zhangtou and others.
Yang Cong is now a prisoner, who else would target him?
Shen Qingyun really couldn't remember who else he had offended.
"Your Majesty."
"Huh?" Shen Qingyun turned around and was a little surprised when he saw Zhuge Yan, "Why did you come out?"
Zhuge Yan was seriously injured, and the doctor ordered him to stay in bed and recuperate. If he could not move around, it would be best not to move around.
Zhuge Yan smiled bitterly and said: "They are coming to the door, of course I have to come out."
Shen Qingyun frowned slightly when he heard this, and then ordered Lao Zhangtou and others: "You guys go down first."
"yes."
Seeing Lao Zhangtou and others leaving, Shen Qingyun asked Zhuge Yan: "Are these people here to find you?"
"Yeah." Zhuge Yan nodded.
Shen Qingyun said angrily: "Didn't the princess already agree that people from the Seventh Department will not come to trouble you..."
"The prince has misunderstood. He is not from the Seventh Department."
"Isn't it the Seventh Department?" Shen Qingyun was stunned when he heard this, and then his face turned ugly for a moment, "Could it be the Jin Yiwei?"
Zhuge Yan was a little surprised and said, "Yes, it's Jin Yiwei."
Zhuge Yan walked towards the gate, and Shen Qingyun followed him after seeing this.
The two of them came outside the courtyard wall, and the two arrows were still firmly embedded in the wall.
"This archery skill comes from Dayan Xiaojianlin. With such skill, he is at least a flag bearer..."
"Little Arrow Forest?"
Shen Qingyun, the flag bearer, knew that he was the middle-level leader of Jinyiwei, but Xiaojianlin, Shen Qingyun didn't know much about him.
Zhuge Yan explained: "When Jin Yiwei was founded, it attracted a large number of martial arts masters, of which Xiao Jian Lin was the most important. Even the first commander of Jin Yi Wei was also the head of Xiao Jian Lin. Over the past hundred years, Xiao Jian Lin has all submitted to the Yan court. , Xiaojianlin disciple is also the main member of Jinyiwei today."
"That's it." Shen Qingyun nodded, but his expression was very ugly.
"You were chased all the way by them before and fled from Yan State to Chu State."
"That's right." Zhuge Yan replied, "I just didn't expect these people to be so persistent and dare to attack me in the Chu Kingdom."
"Since you are an imperial spy, there is nothing to be polite about." Shen Qingyun snorted, "Tomorrow I will send someone to inform the princess that the Jinyi Guards have come to the door. People from the Seventh Department shouldn't sit idly by and watch, right? "
Zhuge Yan could only smile bitterly when he heard this.
After all, he was also a member of the Jin Yiwei. Although he defected, it was for other reasons. These Jin Yiwei were just following orders.
For a moment, Zhuge Yan didn't know whether he should hope that Qi Bu would catch these people, or whether he should hope to escape.
Since the assassin appeared, Lao Zhangtou and others did not dare to sleep. After changing their clothes, they went out to patrol with a hoe and fork in case of accidents.
Shen Qingyun lost his sleepiness and sent Zhuge Yan back to his room, but he kept worrying about it in his heart.
