Then, his eyes fell on the mess on the ground. In the moonlight, he could still see some torn pieces of clothing. Although there were not many, he could guess what had happened here.

Ana Shen put the coffin in a cleaner place, then smoothed out the wrinkled clothes one by one, smoothed out the marks, and finally stood in front of the coffin, looking at it intently.

He took out a few souls for lighting from his sleeve pocket and burned them. Four talismans circled above the four corners of the coffin, completely illuminating the coffin.

Then, Ana Shen put his hand on the coffin lid and lowered his eyes, as if sensing something.

Then, bring your hands back and let them hang at your sides.

He murmured, "No."

He raised his hand, pinched a corner of the coffin lid, and lifted it open heavily.

What he saw was a talisman lying in the middle of the coffin.

Shen Yanjin: “…”

The veins on his forehead were throbbing faintly.

All his previous cautions vanished into thin air. He flicked his sleeves, and the coffin shattered into pieces, breaking into pieces of sawdust. If Xiao Xu was in the coffin, he would have turned into pieces of pork belly by now.

Shen Yanjin's low and hoarse voice seemed to roll out from his throat: "Very good."

The ending sound is a bit dangerous.

Xiao Xu, who was still on the road, knew nothing about this. She rode as fast as she could and it took her a whole day and night to get back to the outskirts of the capital.

But before she even entered the city, she was wanted?

What the hell.

Xiao Xu had no choice but to use the disguise technique again and followed a small caravan into the city. She was almost interrogated, but fortunately, the clothes worn by the caravan were somewhat similar to hers, and they were all riding horses, so she was able to get away with it.

After entering the city, Xiao Xu did not rush to return the favor. Instead, he found a teahouse to sit down and planned to find out what was going on.

Sure enough, not long after we sat down, someone started talking about the cause of the incident.

"Have you heard? Something is impersonating the Imperial Master again. I heard that this time it's even more powerful than the last time. Even Prime Minister Shen can't deal with it."

"No way, can't even deal with Prime Minister Shen? He was the one who conquered Jing State, and Prime Minister Shen's talisman is very powerful."

"Yes, yes. I was lucky enough to see it once. You didn't even see how Prime Minister Shen beat the evil ghost to a pulp. Even when the evil ghost knelt and begged for mercy, it was useless. Prime Minister Shen seemed to have unleashed some kind of divine power and destroyed the evil ghost."

"What, you were there? You're not lying, are you, evil ghost? Aren't you afraid that the evil ghost will eat you?"

The boastful passerby raised his eyebrows and said breathlessly: "With Prime Minister Shen here, how could anything happen to me? Besides, although Prime Minister Shen seems difficult to get along with, uh... although he is a bit decisive in killing, as long as they don't cause trouble, he will not refuse to save them. Those who do cause trouble are another matter."

Passersby murmured for a long time and started talking about other things: "But didn't Prime Minister Shen go on a northern expedition with the Crown Prince? Why is he back? It's strange. Could it be that someone is impersonating the Imperial Master, so he is returning?"

"Maybe so. Does that mean... Prime Minister Shen and the eldest daughter of the Liu family are going to have a grand wedding? Hehe, a year ago, I thought Prime Minister Shen and the state... ahem, were a couple. Who knew it would turn out like this? But it doesn't matter. Our state preceptor, who can be worthy of him..."

At this point, someone couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, I just don't know where the Grand Master has gone. He's been missing for a whole year."
