Chapter 32: Out of the Palace
Out of the palace gate, got into an inconspicuous gray-curled carriage, and followed it to the bustling street. After a long time of uninhabited roads, when Shen Shuzhao looked around, there were already pavilions and cornices in front of him, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going, and everywhere he went was a prosperous scene of peace and prosperity.
The carriage entered the alley in a blink of an eye, and after stopping, Gao Dezhong helped Shen Shuzhao down.
She saw the big plaque with the words Zhen's Silver Building written on it, and thought about it, so Gao Dezhong said to her: "This is the first jade shop opened by the rich merchant in the capital, and it has not been moved away since then." He doesn't go to any other branch, but he comes here every day at this time to take a look. β
After finishing speaking, Shen Shuzhao followed him in, the environment inside was elegant, she took a look around, the jade on the table was very precious, at this time a shopkeeper came up and said, "A few guest officers are here for the first time, right?" Please take your time. β
Gao Dezhong said directly: "Is your big shopkeeper here?" β
The shopkeeper replied: "Ouch, it's really unfortunate, our big shopkeeper has been feeling a little unwell recently, and he has been recuperating in the mansion, I'm afraid he can't come to any silver building recently." β
As soon as he said this, Shen Shuzhao knew the same thing in his heart as others, he had contact with other officials yesterday, and even came here to see the situation, and said that he was sick in the blink of an eye, and it seemed that this disease would divide people.
Seeing that these people didn't speak, the shopkeeper said again: "Shopkeeper Zhen is really sick, he won't come over this afternoon, I won't lie to you." β
So Shen Shuzhao said: "In that case, forget it today, thank you for the shopkeeper's hospitality." β
Then they didn't waste much time, and they wanted to turn around and leave after speaking, after all, they still had the burden of doing things for the queen mother on their shoulders, and they only heard the shopkeeper shouting in the back: "A few guest officers, wait, you can prepare a name for me first, and when the shopkeeper Zhen is well, you can tell a few." β
As he spoke, his eyes flickered towards the palace clothes on them.
Shen Shuzhao replied: "No need. β
"Soβthe guest officer won't be here in the future?"
"Not really." She smiled politely and quickly walked out with the others.
In fact, they naturally won't come back in the future, because now they just need to go to the mansion of the shopkeeper.
Originally, that person would have appeared here at this time of the afternoon, but he happened to be absent today, Shen Shuzhao felt that although he was a little unfavorable, he at least knew what this Zhen Fushang was hiding recently, so that he couldn't see it to the outside world.
Returning to the carriage, the group was about to go to Zhen's mansion, when suddenly a small bird "brushed", quickly rushed down from the sky, and then stopped accurately on the edge of the four corners of the carriage, Shen Shuzhao stepped forward to take a look, it turned out to be a carrier pigeon.
Gao Dezhong approached, and the bird seemed to be very familiar with him, and immediately flew to his cuffs, and Gao Dezhong gently untied the small note tied to its leg.
Unfolded it, his expression instantly became rigorous, and Shen Shuzhao asked, "Zhongguiren, what's wrong?" β
Gao Dezhong replied: "This former Li Sizhi appeared in the Guiyue Teahouse not far from us, which is also the place under the name of this Zhen family, and we will go over now." β
Shen Shuzhao nodded, they hurried over there, and after arriving at the main gate of the teahouse, Gao Dezhong ordered the two little eunuchs to guard outside, and Shen Shuzhao walked in first.
The decoration inside is atmospheric and elegant, the people who come and go are all well-dressed, this should be a place where nobles like to come, Shen Shuzhao observed every man inside, and suddenly she saw a somewhat familiar figure.
It's Li Sizhi!
She was glad that she had a relationship with him in the Yongshou Palace before, and after Li Sizhi went downstairs at this time, he walked straight out of the gate, and Shen Shuzhao and Gao Dezhong hurriedly followed.
After following them all the way, they slowed down. This Si Zhi Li, who has resigned from the government, turned left and right on the bustling street, and he didn't know if he was deliberately avoiding anything, if he had this awareness, then at least he now knew that someone was watching him, no matter which side of the force.
When he walked into an alley, when Shen Shuzhao and his party entered, they only saw his back running and disappearing around a corner, just when Shen Shuzhao wanted to speed up his pace, she suddenly heard a heavy thump behind her, she turned around and saw that the strongest young eunuch had been knocked to the ground by a force, and instantly lost consciousness.
And standing behind the fallen man was a man in black. One of the eunuchs lunged at the man, and the man in black kicked him in the chest with unmistakable accuracy, so that he was kicked directly to the far side, and then the man stepped on the wall all the way, and after landing on the ground, he brushed a silver needle from his cuff and pressed it into his neck, and the unconscious eunuch twitched for a moment, and then turned his head sideways.
Shen Shuzhao looked at this suddenly, took a few steps back, and broke out in a cold sweat on his back, who the hell is this person!
At this time, Gao Dezhong stepped forward and said quietly: "Second Miss Shen, you go first, go to the right." β
Seeing him so calm, and the man in black walked over with murderous intent in his eyes, Shen Shuzhao turned around and hurriedly left in front of the man, and she didn't take a few steps before she was stunned in place, and another man in black walked out of the corner in front of her, slowly approaching her step by step.
Behind him, Gao Dezhong rushed forward, and began to make moves with the first person, and he was not inferior to that person's skills in the exchanges.
Shen Shuzhao had to retreat, the person on the other side did not stop walking, Gao Dezhong couldn't take care of her anymore, Shen Shuzhao knew that there was no way back this time, the man in black in front of him slipped from the cuff to the palm of his hand with a dagger, looking at Shen Shuzhao with a vicious look, he just raised his hand, and suddenly jumped back to the low eaves, which turned out to be on the place where he was standing just now, deeply inserting a sharp tile.
Shen Shuzhao turned around, and it was Gao Dezhong who kicked him over in a hurry.
She immediately ran to the left, the man in black on the eaves leaned over and jumped, flying in the direction of Shen Shuzhao, the dagger was aimed at the back of Shen Shuzhao's neck, a qiΔ was close at hand, and at that moment, suddenly a pair of hands picked up Shen Shuzhao, and then the man reflexively kicked and kicked off the sharp blade in the hand of the man in black, and then jumped on the highest eaves with Shen Shuzhao in his arms.
The cold fragrance came to her face, and her heart was immediately touched to the softest place, and she slowly raised her gaze - the familiar face she expected appeared in front of her, it was really her, Wei Yang!
She was in Wei Yang's arms, and when she leaned lightly, she could hear Wei Yang's heartbeat, and the touch brought by this gentle body made her hanging heart a little calmer.
Wei Yang hugged Shen Shuzhao with both hands horizontally, standing on the roof with a white dress, her eyes were cold, and she looked condescendingly at the man in black below. Hearing her sneer, the two fingers around Shen Shuzhao's waist were gently raised, and the sharp weapon that was instantly sent out hit the man in black, and the person flashed quickly and retreated, leaving another hole on the ground.
said that it was too late and that it was too fast, another man in black fell from the sky, Shen Shuzhao's heart tightened, but the man in black did not come towards her or Gao Dezhong, but came towards the man in black.
When the two met, when they met, it was obvious that the man in black was slightly inferior in force to the newcomer, although he could dodge it every time, but he was also slightly unable to parry, the newcomer in black acted quickly, and he had been beaten in a few strokes to retreat frequently.
On the other side, Gao Dezhong was also on par with the first murderer in black, and the man saw that he had a helper, and he didn't have any advantage, so the two looked at each other and decided to flee in a hurry. Gao Dezhong naturally refused to let them, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, but the two of them fled cleanly as if they had been prepared, and kicked them away in a blink of an eye, and fled away with light skills.
The newcomer wanted to chase after him, but Wei Yang said coldly at this time: "Don't chase it." β
Gao Dezhong looked at her, and after seeing it clearly, he quickly knelt down and bowed his head, arched his hand and said: "I didn't expect it to be the eldest princess who helped, the old slave is grateful, thank you princess for saving her life." β
Wei Yang hugged Shen Shuzhao and fell to the ground gently, his toes touched the ground first, wrapped his hand around her and then opened it easily, Shen Shuzhao got down from her arms steadily, turned her head and looked at Wei Yang with a stern face, frowned at her slightly, didn't say a word, just looked at herself.
Wei Yang ...... Is this worrying about yourself?
She thought so, so she was a little embarrassed to ask even the sentence "Why is the princess here", so she lowered her head and said, "I didn't expect the princess to have such good skills, the people's daughter thank ......"
The beauty on the other side put her slender right hand on her head, Wei Yang looked at her silently with a frown, Shen Shuzhao was stunned for a while, and after a while, Wei Yang finally sighed and said, "Cousin...... You're so worrying. β
The warm current sat in her heart, Shen Shuzhao really knew what she couldn't help but think in her heart, she knew that she had treated Wei Yang like an ordinary woman anymore.
When the love arises, the person's qiΔ is like a peach blossom scorching and blooming, and a smile is so soft that it touches the feathers of the heart. I don't know where this love begins, but it can make people remember this heartbeat forever.
And the ending, I will never know if it is so beautiful at this moment.
Shen Shuzhao's expression on her face was not shocked, she only thought that Wei Yang was the eldest princess and a cousin, but her heart was completely different from what she looked on the surface, she was greedy, Wei Yang's chest, Wei Yang's body fragrance, Wei Yang's gentleness, all of them were what she wanted but secretly felt ashamed of.
In the end, under Wei Yang's long-term gaze, she still said in a sneer: "I'm okay, you don't have to worry too much about me." β
Wei Yang withdrew his hand and looked at her with a faint smile.
In the eyes of others, this scene is just a pair of cousins who have a very good relationship.
"You owe me a favor."
Wei Yang said.
Shen Shuzhao looked at the eyes of the person she liked and said sweetly, "Well, of course." β
After hearing this, Wei Yang couldn't suppress the smile in his eyes, and reluctantly changed his reproachful tone and said, "It turns out that my cousin pushed Gu's invitation in order to leave the palace." Lonely now knows, what's good? β
Hearing this, Shen Shuzhao's face turned red and said, "How do I know, but I owe it to the princess, and the princess can do whatever she thinks." β
"Since that's the case...... Wei Yang tilted his head and said, "Let's keep this favor for now, and then return it later." β
"Hmm." Shen Shuzhao didn't look over, but also nodded.
Then Gao Dezhong stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go back to the palace with the old slave quickly." β
They both looked at him at the same time, silently agreeing. The man in black who came with Wei Yang also spoke: "Those two should have already reported what happened here, it's better to leave early." β
The voice sounded extremely soft, Shen Shuzhao looked at her in surprise, the person who hit the man in black like that was actually a woman, it was really a rare woman in the world!
The tear mole under the eyes of the woman in black is very obvious, and judging from the eyebrows and eyes, she should also be a good-looking beauty.
When everyone was about to leave, Shen Shuzhao turned around and saw Gao Dezhong, who was left at the end, squatting silently to untie the inner clothes of the two young eunuchs, and then put his hands on their unblinding eyes and gently closed them. Even though he had his back to them, Shen Shuzhao noticed that Gao Dezhong's body trembled slightly, as if sighing.
Then Gao Dezhong took away their palace clothes, and the tooth tag with their identity written on their bodies, and returned to the others, and everyone did not say much, the woman in black led the way in front, and the group immediately walked out of this intricate and remote alley, and finally came to the street, the three women got into the gray carriage, Gao Dezhong replaced the original little eunuch, sat in the coachman's seat, and drove his horse towards the palace......
