According to Zhuge Yan, the reason why he was chased by Jin Yiwei was because he took away the only remaining Tianji box.
But now that the Tianji Box has been handed over to Yue Lianshuang, it must have been given to the people in the Seventh Department for explanation.
If Jin Yiwei just wanted to recover the Tianji box, then the target should not be on Zhuge Yan.
Or do they still not know that the Tianji box is no longer with Zhuge Yan?
its not right.
Shen Qingyun definitely didn't offend Jin Yiwei. When they came to Xiayang Village, their target was definitely Zhuge Yan.
Since they knew Zhuge Yan was here, they should have guessed that Zhuge Yan managed to survive by handing over the Tianji Box, right?
Could it be that they just wanted to confirm?
Or maybe the Tianji Box is actually not important at all, and their target is Zhuge Yan?
Shen Qingyun, who had not taken a few steps, suddenly turned around and looked at Zhuge Yan's closed door, his eyebrows knitted tightly together.
Shen Qingyun knew that Zhuge Yan must be hiding something, but thinking that it was probably some identity details, Zhuge Yan probably wouldn't dare not tell it.
But now it seems that Zhuge Yan must have some secrets.
And the secret still carries some weight.
"Old Qi, are you okay?"
After Zhong Qi was bandaged, he came to see Shen Qingyun, and Shen Qingyun quickly asked about his injury.
Zhong Qi reluctantly shook his head, "My subordinates are incompetent and let the prince down."
Shen Qingyun waved his hand and said: "What are you talking about? It's just that the assassin didn't hurt him. It doesn't count. Besides, he is the Jinyi Guard of the Yan Kingdom. I heard he is a master of Xiaojian Lin."
"Jinyiwei?" Zhong Qi frowned and nodded: "Yes, Xiaojianlin's name is also famous in Dongyuan, and his skills are designed to break the body's protective aura. No wonder I have maintained my strength, but I was still beaten by a The arrow pierced the body.”
Shen Qingyun smiled and said: "So you don't have to be disappointed. You are a warrior and he is an archer. You will definitely not be able to defeat him from a distance. Next time you have a chance to play close combat with him, just get your place back."
"Uh..." Zhong Qi didn't understand Shen Qingyun's words, and looked confused.
Shen Qingyun waved his hand carelessly, "It's late at night, you should go down and rest first."
"But..."
"Don't worry, Lao Zhangtou and the others are not vegetarians. They don't dare to come back."
"Yeah." Zhong Qi nodded.
On the other side, the black shadow escaped successfully and joined his companions.
"Thank you for your help, sir. This subordinate deserves to die. Please forgive me, sir."
"It's not your fault, I was too careless."
The black shadow said: "I didn't expect that there are experts guarding Zhuangzi, and the guards are also extremely elite. They use military formations, but all of them are disabled. They must be retired soldiers from the Chu Kingdom."
Although Zhong Qi is not bad at reaching out, he is still not a master. In a one-on-one situation, it is not difficult for Heiying to deal with Zhong Qi.
If Lao Zhangtou and others had not reacted in time, the black shadow would have escaped long ago.
"It seems that Shen Xiong is very fond of his legitimate son. These old soldiers should be retired from Shen Xiong's army and used to protect Shen Qingyun." The flag bearer shook his head and asked again: "Have you discovered Zhuge Yan? "
"Never." The shadow shook his head.
The flag bearer frowned and said: "Although Zhuge Yan is very likely to be inside Zhuangzi, but now that we have alerted the snake, Shen Qingyun will definitely strengthen his defenses, and the people in the Seventh Department will also get the news soon. If we want to take action again, I’m afraid it won’t be easy.”
Everyone nodded slightly when they heard this.
Xiao Jian Lin's archery skills are so obvious that as long as he takes action, there is no longer any possibility of hiding.
What's more, Zhuge Yan is still there, even if others can't recognize him, he will definitely recognize him.
"Then should we take action against him?"
The flag bearer hesitated and said: "First send the news back to the Imperial Capital. Before the instructions from the Imperial Capital arrive, we will lurk and monitor for the time being. We only need to confirm Zhuge Yan's whereabouts."
"yes."
The next day, Yue Lianshuang got the news about Shen Qingyun and rushed over quickly.
"Are you OK?"
Yue Lianshuang glanced at Shen Qingyun up and down, and was slightly relieved when she saw that Shen Qingyun was intact.
Shen Qingyun smiled and said: "Don't worry, Princess, Jin Yiwei's target is not me."
Yue Lianshuang said lightly: "Since they are not looking for you, why are you so anxious to call me here?"
"Huh?" Shen Qingyun said blankly: "No, the Jin Yiwei, the secret service organization of the Yan State, have blatantly appeared in the Chu State, and you don't care about it?"
Yue Lianshuang chuckled softly and said: "Although he is a spy of the Yan Kingdom, the British government should naturally be responsible for it when necessary, but he cannot rashly intervene in it. This is the matter of the Seventh Department, and rashly intervening in the matter of the Seventh Department will cause trouble. Troublesome."
"No, didn't Yulinshan help Qibu before?" Shen Qingyun was puzzled.
"These are two things." Yue Lianshuang said: "Only when Qibu opens his mouth can Yulinshan intervene. What's more, the last matter has been settled and Jin Yiwei showed up. This is another matter. If the people from Qibu don't Ask me for help, and of course I won’t take the initiative to cause trouble myself.”
Shen Qingyun opened his mouth when he heard this, then shook his head and said: "They are all doing their best for the empire, and follow the authority when it is urgent. Sometimes, you don't need to care so much about certain processes."
"In urgent matters, follow authority?" Yue Lianshuang smiled faintly, "Are you in a hurry?"
"Well...it's not that urgent." Shen Qingyun touched his head.
Yue Lianshuang smiled and said: "Don't worry, before I come, I have sent someone to send news to the people of the Seventh Department. They will naturally trace the whereabouts of Jin Yiwei."
"That's good." Shen Qingyun nodded.
"How did you provoke Jin Yiwei?"
Shen Qingyun shook his head, "How could I offend Jin Yiwei?"
"Zhuge Yan?" Yue Lianshuang frowned slightly.
"It must be him." Shen Qingyun nodded, "Now I'm just not sure whether the Jin Yiwei came to the door because of the Tianji box or because of something else?"
Yue Lianshuang smiled and said: "Since you have doubts, just ask him directly."
With that said, Yue Lianshuang got up and walked to the backyard. Shen Qingyun saw this and quickly followed.
Turning around the corridor, I met Qiaoer head-on.
"Your Majesty." Qiao'er bowed lightly, then looked at Yue Lianshuang, "Who is this girl...?"
Shen Qingyun quickly introduced: "This is His Royal Highness Princess Pingyang."
Qiao'er was startled and quickly bowed and said, "See Your Highness the Princess."
"Xu Qiao'er?" Yue Lianshuang's eyebrows moved slightly.
Qiaoer was stunned for a moment, with a little doubt in his eyes.
"It's a folk girl."
"Sure enough, you are very beautiful. I feel pity for you. No wonder the prince favors you so much."
Qiaoer now looks haggard, pale, and mentally depressed. Hearing what Yue Lianshuang said, a blush flashed across his face.
Shen Qingyun rolled his eyes. He was really too lazy to explain. He could just think whatever Yue Lianshuang loved.
"The princess has misunderstood. The prince just took pity on my lowly body, so he only took care of me."
Yue Lianshuang also smiled when she heard this. She had no interest in Shen Qingyun and Qiaoer's affairs.
"There are so many poor people in the world, how can he just care about you?"
"This..." Qiaoer paused and looked at Shen Qingyun unconsciously.
Shen Qingyun was even more speechless, "There are so many pitiful people in the world, but I just met one like this. What happened to Guan Guan Guan?"
Yue Lianshuang turned around and looked at Shen Qingyun after hearing this. When Shen Qingyun saw this, he could only be discouraged and said: "Business matters."
"Haha..." Yue Lianshuang chuckled and left.
Seeing this, Shen Qingyun smiled at Qiaoer and followed quickly.
"The princess has nothing to do with me, why do you need to act like a daughter and embarrass Qiao'er?"
Yue Lianshuang chuckled and said, "What? Are you feeling distressed?"
"The princess has misunderstood. I have nothing to do with the princess. The same goes for Qiao'er. We are just friends at most. I helped her and she helped me. I just hope that the princess will not target her."
Yue Lianshuang seemed to be thinking about something and said after a moment: "I still hope you can seriously consider it."
"The princess is really persevering." Shen Qingyun sighed softly.
Yue Lianshuang smiled and said: "As long as you agree, I will give you whatever you want. In Dachu, there are not many things that the British government cannot provide.
As for your little lover, I can help you find a house in the imperial capital..."
"Stop!" Shen Qingyun stretched out his hand to stop Yue Lianshuang from continuing, "The more the princess talks, the more outrageous she is. Am I some kind of lecherous person in the eyes of the princess?"
"Based on the news from the Seventh Department, you are, but after personal contact, you are not worthy of your name."
"Hmph..." Shen Qingyun snorted: "Hearings are not trustworthy, you have to see them to believe them."
"Yes." Yue Lianshuang nodded, "If you are really a lustful and greedy person, you should not be able to get married with me."
Shen Qingyun was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted: "The princess is really not humble at all."
"hehe..."
The two of them directly opened the door of Zhuge Yan's room and walked in, and Zhuge Yan didn't seem surprised by their arrival.
"It seems you knew we were coming."
Zhuge Yan said humbly: "The princess and the prince are both smart people. If they don't come to me, I'm afraid I won't know what to do."
Shen Qingyun smiled and said: "That's great. We are all smart people, so there is no need for any twists and turns."
Yue Lianshuang nodded, "The Jin Yiwei's appearance is probably not just for a Tianji box. We only have one question. What else are you hiding from us?"
Zhuge Yan glanced at Yue Linshuang, seeming a little surprised that Yue Linshuang would ask directly, with no intention of avoiding Shen Qingyun.
Seeing that Yue Lianshuang did not respond, Zhuge Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Indeed, the Tianji Box is indeed one of Jin Yiwei's targets, but more importantly, it is me."
"Huh?" Shen Qingyun and Yue Lianshuang looked at each other, and then looked at Zhuge Yan at the same time.
Zhuge Yan explained: "The Tianji Box is made with extraordinary craftsmanship and contains ingenuity. The reason why this last Tianji Box was passed to me is just because I am proficient in it. The Jin Yiwei naturally does not want me to fall into the hands of the Chu people." , so I chased him."
"So simple?" Yue Lianshuang frowned, she didn't believe it.
"Princess, do you think it's so complicated?" Zhuge Yan said with a smile: "The art of mechanism is very important to Jinyiwei and Qibu. It depends on how to use it."
