Chapter 273: Something Goes Wrong
As soon as these words came out, not only Shen Shu, but even Chu Yi and Du He looked at Shen Jinming inquiringly.
Speaking of this, Shen Jinming's pale face was slightly gloomy.
He was silent for a few breaths, and said: "I rode back to Fu'anfang from King Yi's Mansion, and it happened that Lord Yunling came out of the Eldest Princess's Mansion in a carriage, and I was fine, but somehow ...... Lord Yunling's carriage was suddenly frightened and rushed towards me. β
Speaking of this, he paused: "The coachman accidentally rolled off the carriage, and I naturally couldn't sit idly by, but when I jumped into the carriage, I didn't expect to be shot in the lower leg with a hidden arrow." If I hadn't made a quick decision to cut off the rope of the carriage in time and take the county lord to jump out of the carriage in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. β
Shen Shu frowned slightly when she heard this.
It sounded like the Lord of Yunling County was assassinated, and the third brother happened to pass by, drew a knife to help, and was injured because of it.
However, now that it is an eventful time, Shen Shu can't help but think about it too much.
She always felt that this matter was not so simple.
Not only Shen Shu, but even Chu Yi, who was listening, sniffed out something unusual.
His eyes sank, he sighed for a few breaths, stood up, and said goodbye to Shen Jinming who was lying on the bed: "I still have something to do, go first, and come to see you tomorrow." β
When Shen Jinming heard this, he was flattered and didn't dare to say anything, he motioned for Shen Shu to send it off, but was stopped by Chu Yi.
"Bouldering doesn't need to be polite, at this time, you can let the four girls come to Beiya to help, it's already Gao Yi, and I should do it to visit you more." Chu Yi said solemnly.
The corners of Shen Jinming's eyebrows twitched.
He opened his mouth to find an excuse to refuseβ
saw Chu Yi arching his hand towards him, turning around and striding away.
Seeing this, Dusk He on the side looked at Shen Jinming's gaze with a little sympathy.
I know, I understand that His Highness said "come to visit more" in order to contact this future eldest brother.
I don't know......
Maybe you will think that His Highness has an enmity with this person, and he won't even let others take care of his injuries.
Twilight sighed secretly, stepped forward to ask a few details of the recuperation, and took the opportunity to leave.
When there were only two brothers and sisters left in the room, Shen Jinming and Shen Shu, Shen Jinming finally let out a long breath.
He looked at Shen Shu: "Little sister, today's matter is not so simple, for my brother, maybe the other party has found out that the matter of Bibo Lake is related to us, this time I am afraid that the other party will give us a disadvantage." β
When Shen Shu heard this, her expression turned grim.
"Why did the third brother say that? What did you find? She hurriedly asked.
Shen Jinming looked at her and replied meaningfully: "On the way back from King Yi's Mansion, I felt that someone was following behind, I thought it was just a spy, so I ignored it, but I didn't expect that as soon as I entered Fu'an Fang, I met the carriage of the Lord of Yunling......"
These words made Shen Shu's heart sink.
"Brother is saying that the carriage of the lord of Yunling County was shocked, and it was the person who followed you and did it?"
Shen Jinming nodded.
"Although I don't see exactly how they do it, nine times out of ten."
He pondered: "In my opinion, they should be afraid and dare not attack me directly, so they will use the Yunling County Lord to kill people with a knife." Lord Yunling's carriage is frightened, if I don't save it, I will offend the eldest princess of Yongning. If they are saved, they can use this to hide their true intentions......"
"Their methods are very old-fashioned, if it weren't for my habit of wearing soft armor in my clothes when I go out, tying leggings on my legs, and the shadow guards guarding outside the county lord's mansion, I would have arrived in time. With the injuries caused by their hidden arrows, most of them will be dragged into the Yongtong Canal by the frightened horse together with the Yunling County Lord today. β
When Shen Shu heard this, she was taken aback.
It's hard for her to imagine that if the county lord of Yunling has three longs and two shorts this time, and finally finds out that it is related to the third brother-
With the posture of the eldest princess of Yongning, I am afraid that this matter will be difficult to be good, and it will not affect His Royal Highness King Yi.
"It is because of this that my brother proposed to His Highness that I should go to the Cheng'en Mansion to investigate the case instead of you?" Shen Shu hurriedly asked.
Shen Jinming nodded: "They don't dare to blatantly attack me, they will hide their heads and tails, and they must have something to fear." The more times like this, the more we can't be cowardly, we must find ways to hit them seven inches, not only to fight, but also to fight openly, only in this way can we force them to the table and take them down in one fell swoop. β
Shen Shu looked at him with a complicated expression: "However, my brother is not afraid, we can't beat it, hit the stone with an egg, and in the end, you and Daddy and Auntie will ......."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Shen Jinming: "The most taboo thing to do is to be afraid of the first and the last, looking forward and backward, now that you have embarked on this road, don't look back." β
He paused, and his voice became deeper: "If they attack me today, it means that our Shen family has no possibility of retreating." For my brother, I only hate that I have a leg injury now, and I can't follow His Royal Highness King Yi......"
When Shen Shu heard him say this, she thought of what Chu Zhan had told her about her "previous life" in the Vermilion Courtyard before.
She moved her lipsβ
But he finally swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and said softly to Shen Jinming: "Brother, don't worry, before my brother recovers from his injury, I will do what my brother wants to do for my brother, I just hope ...... can find evidence, and pull out the Lord and make it difficult for them to be demons again. β
Shen Jinming looked at her with a look of relief on his face.
He hesitated for a moment, and then instructed: "On the side of the county lord of Yunling, this time the innocent was implicated, I should have explained it to the county lord in person, but this matter is very wide-ranging, and the county lord is still young...... Now I can't listen to anything except self-blame. For now, I can only wait until the eldest princess returns home, and you will personally run on my behalf and come to the door to tell you honestly, so as not to be mistaken by the eldest princess, I am really the savior of the county lord. β
If someone else is here, they may be surprised when they hear Shen Jinming's words.
After all, the other party did something extremely secretive, and in the end, the abacus failed, and the mistake made Shen Jinming the savior of the county lord of Yunling.
In this situation, as long as Shen Jinming does not take the initiative to tell the eldest princess of Yongning the whole story, no one will know the truth about the shocking horse.
With the identity of the savior of the Yunling County Lord on his head, with the prestige of the eldest princess of Yongning in the capital, it is simply a good thing for the pie in the sky, and with a little operation, the eldest princess may be able to become a big help.
It's just that this kind of "help" is not the slightest attraction for the Shen brothers and sisters who have behaved well since childhood.
Shen Shu hurriedly responded.
Shen Jinming saw that all the explanations had been completed, so he finally felt a little relieved, chatted with Shen Shu for a few more words, and fell asleep.

The eastern suburbs of the city, Jingyun Temple, the main hall.
Jingyun Temple is the temple of the first emperor Qi Taifei monk.
At this moment, in the main hall, a monk over 70 years old is kneeling on the futon in the middle of the main hall, twisting Buddhist beads in his hand, and reciting scriptures sincerely.
It is Concubine Qi, who has been a monk for more than 30 years.
Behind her, kneeling sat the more pious Princess Yongning.
She had just received the news that the county lord of Yunling had been assassinated and rescued, and she stood up from the futon.
She looked at Concubine Qi with a gloomy face: "Mother, at this time, they actually took Yun Ling to open the knife, can't they wait to make a move on us?" β
