Chapter 208: Freedom Restored
Shen Yanshu has never been a person who is at the mercy of him, and King Yu has not had many temptations, but he should have understood this truth a long time ago.
If you provoke her, I'm afraid that the sharp claws will make people unbearable.
These days, whether it is the invitation of the palace or some ladies and ladies, she has politely declined, and the more she has been rejected, everyone has become more interesting, and gradually fewer and fewer people are looking for her.
Occasionally, I can play with Ruan Leyao and Su Mianmian.
This year's snow is earlier than in previous years, when Shen Yanshu walked out of the room, he looked at the snowflakes floating in the sky, stretched out his hand, and caught it, the crystal clear snowflakes were slightly cold in his hands, with the coldness of the wind, and when he looked up, the entire yard had been covered with a thin layer of velvet white.
"Princess, beware of catching a cold. Qing Kite sent a thick white cloak to Shen Yanshu.
Shen Yanshu smiled in his eyes, nodded, and then walked directly to the back door of the palace.
As soon as the weather is cold, the prisoners in the prison are even more uncomfortable, there are not many things that can keep out the cold in the already cold cell, the quilts and clothes are quite thin, and there are always some older prisoners who are frozen to death every winter, and some people have long been used to it.
The braziers hanging on the walls and pillars were dancing with firelight, and just looking at it felt warm.
"Click-" The sound of the cell door being opened.
"Hey, you're good to go. A young jailer said to the unkempt man inside, his tone full of disdain.
The man seemed to have known that he would go out today, but there was not much expression on his face, and there was no excitement at all.
The jailer looked at him in surprise and said, "Eh, everyone is so happy to be released from prison, but you don't have the slightest reaction." ”
Another jailer said, "He's been locked up for 10 years. ”
So saying, he stepped forward and opened the chain in his hand with the key, perhaps the chain had been too long, and the keyhole was a little rusty, and it took a while to open it, and the jailer was about to say something, but suddenly he saw that the chain on his wrist was very new, but there was no rust at all.
Led by two jailers, he finally walked out of the gate of the prison, and then heard the sound of the door closing behind him.
The cold wind hit, the chill was biting, and he just walked out of the prison and looked at this white expansement, and he felt very dazzling, and subconsciously raised his hand to block his eyes.
Ten years ago, he was also crushed into a prison on a snowy day.
Seeing that there seemed to be someone not far away from the slit in his hand, he looked up and saw that a woman in a white jacket and skirt was wearing a velvet white cloak and holding an umbrella independent of the wind and snow, looking at him intently.
It's the girl who said in prison that she would wait for her to come out.
Shen Yanshu slowly stepped forward with an umbrella and said with a smile: "Congratulations, regaining your freedom." ”
"Are you?" he looked at Shen Yanshu vigilantly.
"The owner of the Qilin Talisman, Ni Shang. Shen Yanshu said, took out the Qilin Talisman, held it in front of him and said, "Qilin Wei Huo Kill, I've been waiting for you for a long time, are you willing to listen to me?"
Huo Shu saw the Qilin Talisman in Shen Yanshu's hand, and there was still a trace of surprise on his face, which was already rarely rippling.
Although he was in the prison, he could also hear the discussion of the cell bosses, knowing that Qi Yi was beheaded by the whole family because of rebellion, and the Zhenbei Army was also destroyed.
Huo Shu quickly regained his indifference: "I have no power now, why do you still come to me?"
Shen Yanshu still had a faint smile on his face: "I don't need your power, I just sincerely ask you, can you stay?"
His silence was expected by Shen Yanshu, but she was not in a hurry, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to answer, come home with me first." ”
Go home?
Huo Shu's eyes flashed with a hint of dazedness, his home had already been destroyed by himself.
Shen Yanshu took Huo Shu back to the Yun Mansion, since his mother and Yun Hao went to Jiangzhou, there are only Huang Tingzhou and Nie Dong and Nie Liang Qilin Jun left here, and Nie Dong and Nie Liang are busy with things in Yunshang Building on weekdays, and Huang Tingzhou is very bored.
Seeing that Shen Yanshu brought back a man with ragged clothes and loose hair, he was still surprised.
"What is this?" he asked.
Shen Yanshu said: "I asked you to vacate the new yard for him to live in, and let people prepare hot water and clothes." ”
Huang Tingzhou didn't ask anything more, and directly asked people to do what Shen Yanshu said.
Huo Shu was speechless all the way, just silently followed the little guy.
Huang Tingzhou watched Huo kill down, he rubbed beside Shen Yanshu and said, "Who is he?"
Shen Yanshu turned his head and replied with a smile: "Huo kill." ”
"Huo Kill!" Huang Tingzhou was so shocked that he suddenly raised his voice, "Why did you bring this plague god back! No, no, isn't Huo Kill imprisoned?"
Shen Yanshu's face still didn't change much: "It will always come out." ”
Huang Tingzhou frowned and pondered for a while, this year is indeed the tenth year, and it is time for him to come out.
But he still disagreed: "He is a dangerous person who kills his parents, how can you provoke him?"
"In this world, there have never been pure good people and bad people, but they have different positions. Shen Yanshu didn't explain, turned her head and walked towards her own room, opened the door, it was warmer than outside.
She took off her cloak and shook it, shaking off a lot of snow, then hung it on a wooden shelf beside her, and went straight to the table and sat down.
Huang Tingzhou stepped forward and said: "I know that you are eager to seek talents, and Huo Kill is not small, but you can't use a person who can't be controlled." ”
"I didn't want to control him, I just wanted him to have a better chance to use his talents. Shen Yanshu said, "When he chose to save my father, I knew that he was not the kind of person who was rumored." And for the crime of killing his parents, he also volunteered to spend ten years in prison and was punished. ”
Huang Tingzhou looked at Shen Yanshu with a resolute attitude, knowing that she must not be able to persuade her, she has her own plans, and it is not good for her to disturb it again.
He had only heard of Huo Kill, and he was far less familiar with Huo Kill than the people of the Qi family, and he probably misunderstood it.
Shen Yanshu looked up at Huang Tingzhou and said, "I'll go to Jiangzhou in a few days, and then go directly from Jiangzhou to Liangzhou, it's hard for you and Uncle Nie to stay in Chang'an, Chang'an still needs you to watch." ”
Huang Tingzhou was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter?
Shen Yanshu nodded: "Yan Xi is about to get married, so naturally he wants to go." Over there in Liangzhou, I thought that Yu Wenrui was ready to fight a long-term war, and I took Huo Shu over to explore the situation. Huo Shu has been in prison for so many years, and if he stays in Chang'an, he is afraid that he will not be able to adapt to it. ”
Huang Tingzhou sighed and said: "Sure enough, it's the water spilled by the married girl, and when I go to Liangzhou, I'm actually going to find Yan Qinghan, right? ”
"What do you mean to be alone, and Uncle Nie and them!" Shen Yanshu said angrily.
Huang Tingzhou pouted.
Shen Yanshu explained some things to him, after all, he didn't know what to do to come back to Liangzhou.
When Huo Shu walked in from outside the door, Shen Yanshu was looking at Huang Tingzhou's painting when he heard a slight footstep, but turned his head to find that he was already standing behind him.
He took a shower, combed his hair, shaved his beard, and changed into a clean cotton coat, his refreshing appearance made people's eyes shine, and he couldn't tell that he had just come out of prison, but his eyes were still dull.
His facial features are distinct, and he has become thin after being in prison for too long, but he can still see the handsome appearance of the past, and it seems that he wants to make his food better.
"I don't want to stay in Chang'an. Huo Shu said.
Shen Yanshu asked, "Then where do you want to go?"
Huo Shu said: "I'll go by myself." ”
Shen Yanshu said: "Do you want to go to Jiangzhou?"
Huo Kill: "Jiangzhou?
Shen Yanshu: "Go see Qi Yi, he has been missing you for so many years." ”
Huo Shu raised his eyebrows: "Isn't he dead?"
"It's dead. A trace of sadness flashed in Shen Yanshu's eyes, "But he really misses you." ”
Huo Slayer was silent.
Shen Yanshu knew that he agreed, she stood up and said, "You don't have to leave in a hurry, we will leave for Jiangzhou in two days, I will prepare a new identity for you, and it will be more convenient for you to go to other places." ”
Without waiting for Huo Shu's answer, Shen Yanshu took the cloak hanging aside, tied it himself, and walked out.
Only Huo Shu and Huang Tingzhou were left in the room, and the atmosphere was a little silent for a while.
Huo Shu was also a man of the hour who deterred the world back then, and now he was standing in front of Huang Tingzhou, with a calm and cold face, which made Huang Tingzhou inevitably think of the rumors of the incident ten years ago, and he coughed lightly.
Huo Shi looked up at him.
"Girl, that's her character, there's no malice, don't hurt her. Huang Tingzhou said.
Who knows if this guy will go on a killing spree when he doesn't like it?
Huo Shu didn't answer, turned around and walked out to the courtyard he had arranged for himself just now, the snow was still falling in the sky, and it fell on his head, but his straight body didn't care at all.
Shen Yanshu arrived and walked to the backyard of Yunshang Building, and Nie Dong stepped forward: "Miss." ”
"How is King Yu's side?"
"Our people have infiltrated Yuwang's mansion, but they can't get too close to Yuwang now. Nie Dong replied.
Shen Yanshu said: "Don't worry, as long as they don't get discovered." ”
"The Qilin Army, which was in Yin Wuyu's place at the beginning, has now been placed everywhere according to Miss's instructions, and Lord Yin said that if Miss goes to Liangzhou and has not enough manpower, she can ask him. Nie Dong said.
Shen Yanshu said: "I don't need it for the time being, I can go to Liangzhou and bring Ah Qi, Wei Ye and Wenrenyu over, so as not to attract attention." ”
"This ......," Nie Dong said, "Miss, this is too little, if someone takes advantage of it......
"I've got my own measure. Shen Yanshu said.
Nie Dong nodded: "We will pay attention to the news here in Chang'an from time to time." ”
Shen Yan shook her head, she still trusted Nie Dong and Nie Liang's ability.
