Shen Ying left the village with Ling Yan and went to the town to gather guards and return to the city.

But when the two of them were sharp, the guards came to report: "Huo Mingzhai, the head of the Huo family in Huizhou, is also in the town." ”

Shen Ying knew that this Huo family, a well-known Jiangnan imperial businessman, was said to be rich and rivaled the country, but it also helped the emperor a lot, so he was both rich and stable.

He has a warm temper and is easy-going, and he has been in Beijing for a long time, and he has also made friends with many powerful people of his generation. Ling Yan was also the guest of honor of the Huo family in the Beijing Courtyard.

When Ling Yan heard this, he smiled and said, "Where is he?" ”

The guard said: "The Yuxiang Inn opposite." ”

Ling Yan greeted Shen Ying happily: "Uncle will take you to meet this rich Uncle Huo." ”

Shen Ying obediently followed out the door. Walking to the door, Ling Yan looked at her and hesitated again.

She knew why, she had been rolling in the mud and dust for the past few days, even if she had been wet and clean, she didn't look like a lady after all, Ling Yan didn't dislike her, but more to consider her feelings.

Anyway, she didn't have any interest in socializing between adults, so she said: "It's better for my uncle to go, I'll go buy clothes and wash and change them first, otherwise it won't be easy to go back to the city." ”

Ling Yan agreed, sent guards to follow him, and then went to the opposite side.

It wasn't too dark, and there were still a lot of shops on the street that weren't closed, so she found a tailor's shop to buy ready-to-wear clothes, and took advantage of the time to change the size of her waist to go to the rouge shop next door to buy rouge flowers.

There was no one in the shop, Shen Ying waited for a while, but she didn't see it, so she left the guard, and then took her clothes back to the inn.

asked for a room, and as soon as the door was closed, there was also the sound of the door opening next door, and then it was also closed, Shen Ying washed with water while unconsciously listening to the movement next door.

The floor is made of wood, and there is a sound when you walk around, but the footsteps next door seem to be deliberately suppressed.

Out of habit, Shen Ying was a little vigilant.

But there was no movement next door, so she paused and continued to wash her face. At this time, someone spoke: "Is this place safe?" ”

The voice was cold and deep, reminiscent of a stout man.

Shen Ying couldn't help but put down the veil, looked at the water swaying in the basin, took off her coat and rolled it in to cover the water, and then hid under the bed, grabbed the bottom of the bed, and stuck it under the bed.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and the voice rang out: "Is there anyone?" Borrow some tea leaves. ”

It was the same voice from before.

Shen Ying held her breath, and soon after, someone pushed the door, and the sound of footsteps slowly moved in. Listening to the sound, he looked around, then stopped not far in front of the bed, stood and walked out quickly.

The door was still shut.

Shen Ying didn't let go until the footsteps entered the next door again.

Out of the bed, she picked at a little gap in the pillar of the wall and listened closely.

"Neither side of the house is there. What's the situation? Say it! ”

"There is no one around, and I don't think it's very likely that people are still alive. His eyes were already blinded by poison, he couldn't see, and after being hit by so many swords, it was a miracle that he could still stay alive!

"What's more, I saw Wuning Hou Ling Yan today, and the carriage that was knocked down the mountain that day was confirmed to be the cousin of the Ling family, and then Huo Rong disappeared, and the girl was also gone.

"But today I saw a girl next to Ling Yan, it seems that the girl surnamed Shen should be true! Now that she has appeared, it can even show that Huo Rong is dead! ”

"Can't take it for granted! Gotta figure it out! What the fifth master wants is to see people alive and dead to see corpses, not a 'should'! ”

"So what can I do?! There are so many horns in Tongzhou, I have really been dead for so many days, I'm afraid that the bones have been taken by beasts, where can I find them?! ”

There was silence next door.

But then the man's voice sounded firmly: "Didn't you say that Shen Ying, the cousin of the Ling family, disappeared with him?" Now that Shen Ying has appeared, let's go and ask her! ”

"How do you ask this? A big girl, or the daughter of the Hou Mansion, can she still admit to us that she disappeared with a man? ”

"Won't you figure it out?!"

The man's tone became aggravated again, "The Communist Party is just a yellow-haired girl, you can't even help her?!" ”

The other party seemed to have nothing to refute and was silent.

Shen Ying would be too stupid if she couldn't understand this when she heard this, it turned out that the young man's name was Huo Rong! And these people already know her identity?

But when she came back to her senses, she gritted her teeth again, knowing that these two guys were holding bad water, but she didn't expect to hit her head with the idea!

She didn't move, still leaning her ears to the wall.

"But Ling Yan is also here, and I always feel that this matter is not easy to start. We can't afford to mess with the Marquis of Wuning. ”

"What is the Marquis of Wuning? Have you forgotten the identity of the fifth master? That Huo Rong is already an adult, and he can't tell when he will be recalled to the capital to open the palace, and then he will be the rightful prince, where is there such a good opportunity to kill him again?! ”

Although the voice over there was low, Shen Ying heard it clearly!

She knows very well how many princes in the palace are, and now the capital of the country is the country, and the young ones are still raised in the palace, why did a prince suddenly come out here to open the palace?

Moreover, it's still the boy she's never seen before?!

She was a little stunned by the news, and when she heard the door of the next room, she quickly came to the door again, opened a crack in the door and looked out.

The two people who came out next door were dressed in ordinary clothes, and they looked nothing unusual on their faces, but the light looming in their eyes revealed their anger.

When Ling Yan came back, Shen Ying was still sitting in the room.

Of course, she chose to report such an important matter. Ling Yan, who found her niece and finished talking to her old friends, was still immersed in a comfortable mood, suddenly heard that she was just talking nonsense.

It wasn't until she repeated it, and waited until the guard sent out to follow him came back and told him where the two had gone, that she persuaded him to go over and arrest one of them for interrogation, that he finally showed a look of surprise on his face!

"Why is my uncle's face so strange?"

She couldn't help but ask.

In her opinion, even if the emperor secretly raised a prince outside, it was not worth the shock of his dignified Marquis Wu Ning, who was accustomed to seeing wind and waves.

"Do you know that your Uncle Huo's eldest son is also called Huo Rong, and he came to find his son when he went north this time!"

Shen Ying was also stunned: "Are you saying that the person I saved is not only the prince, but also the prince is still raised in the Huo family of the imperial businessman?" ”

Ling Yan nodded, and said solemnly: "Since he is the prince, we can't let go of this matter."

"Right now, even if you tell Huo Mingzhai about Huo Rong's whereabouts, I'm afraid that I won't be able to protect him with the strength of the Huo family.

"-Bell, you better go back to the mountain, at the moment we don't know how many people there are on the other side, what is the background, rashly go up the mountain and take people away for fear of setting yourself on fire.

"I'll send you a few guards to lurk at the bottom of the mountain. I'm going to investigate, and when I find an opportunity, I'll let you know and let you out!" ”
