Tilting Phoenix Chapter 020: City Lord Shen Shen, her whereabouts
Shangyong City is the largest city in the Yantian Dynasty, even several times larger than the imperial capital, very prosperous and prosperous, equivalent to a small country, the geographical location is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it also has its own army, and the Shen family who guards Shangyong City is the first family in the Yantian Dynasty, and it is also the most mysterious family, and the current Shangyong City City Lord, named Shen Yan.
Xiao Tinghuang felt that this Shangyong City was actually similar to Gusu City, it was an independent city, but Shangyong City was still nominally subordinate to the imperial court, while Gusu City was a special existence outside the Four Kingdoms, which was just different.
When she arrived in Shangyong City, there were still five days before the Epiphany Festival.
At this time, Shangyong has gathered a lot of people from all over the world, and the major inns are overcrowded, and there is no inn to stay.
Xiao Tianhuang is not a person who will wronged himself, and naturally he will not let himself live on the streets with nowhere to live, so he directly paid for a few courtyards with deep pockets.
But then again, the courtyard of this Shangyong City is expensive, especially at this time, the original owner of the other courtyard is estimated to be very dark, and the price is raised high, I don't know if she can return to the capital when the epiphany festival is over......
Thinking of this, Xiao Tianhuang shook his head a little speechlessly, feeling a little nervous.
On the first day after buying the yard, she asked someone to clean the yard inside and out, but she didn't ask a maid to serve her, and she came to eat and live by herself, which saved a lot of trouble.
In the next three days, she visited all the lively places in Shangyong City.
Shangyong City is indeed planted with epiphany everywhere, I don't know what's going on, these epiphany are budding, but none of them are blooming, it seems to be waiting for the epiphany festival to bloom together, especially in the north of Shangyong City, there is a sea of epiphany flowers, an endless epiphany flower garden, Xiao Tinghuang thinks, waiting for the night of the epiphany blooming, here must be particularly beautiful, now there are many people here to prepare all the matters of the epiphany festival, build all kinds of shelves, both sides of the road are set up shelves, hanging all kinds of colored satin and lanterns, and there are a lot of candles, tomorrow night, here I am afraid that it will be as spectacular and dreamy as a fairyland。
It's a flash in the pan, and I don't know how many people will be amazed.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tianhuang sighed, turned around and left the sea of flowers.
She plans to eat something, her cooking skills are not very good, she has a hand in boiling medicine and medicinal food, but her cooking skills are really not good, so she plans to go to the next restaurant.
Well, I specially picked the largest restaurant in Shangyong, Don't forget the building.
I didn't expect to be harassed.
In the past, when she was in the Yuhuang Continent, her face was too ostentatious, in order to avoid trouble, she appeared in front of people mostly around the veil, when she walked around the countries of the Western Regions, she wore foreign costumes according to the customs, and there was also something to cover her face, but since she came here, thinking that no one here knows her and her sister, no one will recognize her, so she didn't cover her face anymore, and there are indeed many people who trouble her in the past two months, but they are all petty fights, she comes and goes without a shadow, so there is no trouble.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she sat down and ordered, she was targeted by someone who came in from outside the restaurant.
A man in a fancy dress, followed by a few subordinates, swaggered in and was about to go upstairs to the private room, but he caught a glimpse of a shadow sitting by the window, the man's eyes lit up, his eyes flashed, and he walked towards Xiao Tianhuang without thinking.
This person is the son of the Mu family, one of the top families in Shangyong City, except for the city lord Shen family, called Mu Kang, a well-known playboy in Shangyong.
Well, Xiao Tianhuang fell in love with him.
Then, regardless of it, he wanted to take Xiao Tinghuang back as a concubine, Xiao Tinghuang didn't want to pay attention to him at first, and endured it again, after all, this is the Xihan Continent, it is Shangyong City, and this person is not small at a glance, she is alone here without any power, if she offends her, there will be trouble, but he wants to forcibly take her away, which is unbearable.
Therefore, Xiao Tianhuang abolished the hand he was holding her, and crippled those subordinates who intended to escort her away one by one, and then took advantage of the chaos to leave.
Shen Shen came back from the barracks outside the city.
Tomorrow is the Epiphany Festival, Shangyong will be very chaotic, he has to adjust the soldiers and horses, not only to maintain order in the city, but also to prevent the surrounding of Shangyong City, the court wants to recover Shangyong is not a day or two, several cities around Shangyong have stationed soldiers and horses, tomorrow there will be a lot of people in the city will inevitably not be mixed in, and it is more difficult to ensure that those people will not take advantage of the chaos to attack Shangyong City, so every year in the Epiphany Festival, he has to be cautious and cautious.
Riding a horse from outside the city, he was about to return to Yongling Palace, that is, the City Lord's Mansion, but Shen Shen suddenly grabbed the reins and looked at a certain corner in front of him in shock.
A figure disappeared from there just now, a very familiar figure, and the side face was exactly the same......
Shen Yan was shocked in his heart, how could he seem to see her......
He stopped, and the rest of his men also tightened their reins, and his henchman Lupin hurriedly stepped forward, one step behind his horse, and saw that his face was a little strange, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with the city lord......?"
Shen Shen was assassinated half a month ago, it was the remnants of his uncle Shen Zongnan's forces, but it was also he who used his body as bait to attract their assassination in order to prevent future troubles forever, and annihilated Shen Zongnan's people in one fell swoop, so he was naturally inevitably injured.
It took more than ten days to recover.
Shen Shen came back to his senses when he heard this, shook his head, and said lightly: "It's okay, let's go back!"
It is estimated that he missed her too much and hallucinated, how could she be here?
After speaking, he rode his horse back to Yongling Palace.
The people behind followed.
After Xiao Tianhuang left Mo Wanglou, he traveled a few streets to confirm that he was not being followed before returning to his other courtyard.
She didn't know how much of a sensation she caused by abolishing Mu Kang in Mo Forget Lou today, and now in Shangyong City, there are people searching for her everywhere, and all major inns have been searched.
After Shen Shen returned to Yongling Palace, he naturally heard about it, his mother was the daughter of the Mu family, so Mu Kang was his cousin and uncle's son, this matter was a big trouble, and the Mu family was still in the city searching for the woman who was said to have abolished Mu Kang, naturally someone came to report him, but Shen Shen didn't care about it and didn't pay attention to it, as if Mu Kang had nothing to do with him.
However, ignoring the matter, he was not in the mood to do anything.
In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the fleeting figure he saw on the street today, and he was a little upset.
It's been almost four years.
I don't know if she's okay now, if she has forgotten about him, and if she will get married......
Probably not, she shouldn't get married easily.
In a few months, when he's done dealing with the matter here, he'll be able to go to her.
He came back for more than three years, and he had been fighting with his uncle Shen Zongnan for the first two years, and finally got rid of Shen Zongnan, and it took a year to get rid of Shen Zongnan's people, and now he has been in power for less than a year, Shangyong City is almost under his control, and when he takes all Shangyong City into his hands, he has no worries, and he will go to her.
He hadn't told her yet, he didn't actually dislike her, and what he said about marrying her was true.
Also, he forgot to tell her that his name was not Shen Fu, but Shen Shen.
The person who loves her is called Shen Yan.
For a whole afternoon and half a night, Shangyong City was searching for the woman who had abolished Mu Kang's hand in Mo Forget Building, except for the private houses and the rich households of the major official residences, those inns and homestays were all searched and never found, but in the second half of the night, when the people of the Mu family wanted to search the rich houses and mansions that had not been searched, because it was too disturbing to the people, the Yongling Palace issued an order from the city lord Jun that no further searches were allowed, and the violators were killed evenly.
No matter how arrogant the Mu family is, in front of the city lord Junling, they can only stop for the time being and look for it again the next day.
Then, early the next morning, the search began again.
Xiao Tianhuang went out in the evening of the afternoon of the second day, she didn't know that she had just left with her front foot, and the back foot of where she lived was found, and the people of the Mu family took the portrait of her that she had drawn yesterday according to the people present and the people of the Mu family to look for her, and finally found this courtyard, but it was already empty.
Today is the Epiphany Festival, the people of the entire Shangyong City seem to gather on the street, before night, it is already crowded, there are all kinds of lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, it is very lively and prosperous, Xiao Tianhuang is crowded in the crowd, it is difficult to move an inch, and he suddenly feels that there is no love.
She regretted coming to join in the fun.
Woowoo...... It's so crowded!
……
At the same time, the Yongling Palace.
Shen Shen is reviewing the government affairs of Shangyong City, he plans to leave for the Yuhuang Continent next month, so many things have to be handled and arranged, every day is very busy, tonight's Epiphany Festival, he didn't plan to go, he didn't like to be lively, and now he is even more in the mood.
After dealing with the matter here earlier, and arranging it earlier, he could see her earlier, he was not in a hurry, but he really couldn't wait for that hallucination yesterday.
Just then, Lupin hurried in.
"See the city lord!"
Shen Shen put down the military affairs fold in his hand, raised his eyes to look at him, and frowned: "What's the matter?"
When he deals with things, he doesn't like to be disturbed, and Lupin knows that, so he won't come in and bother if there is no emergency.
Lu Ping hurriedly said: "Qiqi City Lord, the people of the Mu family are now searching for the woman who injured Mu Kang yesterday, and they have also painted a portrait to ask everywhere, and the subordinates have got one, and the woman on the painting is ......"
At this, Lupin suddenly paused, not knowing how to continue.
Shen Fu frowned unhappily: "If you have something to say, just say it!" "This ...... Let's ask the city lord to take a look first!"
After speaking, he took out the folded portrait from the belt around his waist, opened it, stood up and handed it to Shen Yan.
Shen Shen was confused in his heart, took the portrait, and glanced at it casually, but when he saw the familiar person on the portrait, his eyes suddenly tightened, full of disbelief.
After his heart was shocked, he looked up at Lupin suddenly: "What do you mean?"
Lu Ping said: "It is said that this is the person who beat Mu Kang in Mo Forget Lou yesterday afternoon, and now the Mu family is searching in the city with the portrait, and when the subordinates saw the portrait, they were also very shocked, so they came to report!"
Eight years ago, Shangyong City mutinied, Shen Shen's father, the former city lord Shen Zongbei was poisoned, Shen Shen's uncle Shen Zongnan seized the throne, when Shen Shen returned from outside and was intercepted and killed, he was seriously injured and hung by a thread, leaving a breath, it was he who went to Shen Shen at the secret order of Shen Zongbei, and saved Shen Shen at the last moment, and while avoiding Shen Zongnan's pursuit, he recuperated Shen Shen's injuries, and then it was really unavoidable, so he could only escort Shen Shen to leave Xihan and go to the Yuhuang Continent.
Later, Shen Yan's injuries improved, and he was sent back to arrange things here, ready to regain power, and secretly cultivated manpower and power, and because of this back and forth traces, Shen Zongnan finally discovered Shen Shen's affairs in the Yuhuang Continent, and sent people to find assassinations in turn, four years ago, the people sent by Shen Zongnan also found Shen Shen, and launched round after round of assassinations, Shen Shen was injured and didn't know where to go, he couldn't find it, and then it was Shen Shen who contacted them himself, but he didn't come back with them, but asked them to check a person, a woman on the portrait, a dead impostor princess of the Liguo Kingdom of the Imperial Huang Continent, after finding out some probabilities, he suddenly stopped the investigation, returned to Xihan, and started a full two years of open and secret fighting with Shen Zongnan, speeding up the pace, as if he was in a hurry to deal with what Shen Zongnan was going to do, others may not understand why Shen Shen was so desperate to get rid of Shen Zongnan to eradicate dissidents, but Lu Ping understood everything.
It's for the people who painted it.
Now that her traces have been found in Shangyong City, Lupin naturally can't help but report it.
Shen Shen was shocked in his heart, and he was ecstatic in his heart, he was really not an illusion yesterday!
No matter what happened to Mu Kang being disabled, her temperament was done!
That's right, it's her, she's here, across the ocean, across thousands of mountains and rivers, and that's how she came to her......
Thinking like this, Shen Shen only felt that he was dreaming.
Thinking of something, he looked at Lu Ping and asked, "Did the Mu family find her?"
"Not an hour ago, now the subordinates ......"
As soon as Shen Shen heard these uncertain words, where was he still staying, he immediately walked out of the main hall bypassing the table and hurrying out......
