Chapter 197 Tianzi Pavilion

In Jiang Shenyuan's opinion, women are very strange.

They are often tougher than men and cannot be forced into submission by torture.

But sometimes they are very easy to tame, because as long as you have a physical entanglement with them and turn them into lovers, they will accept their fate, submit, and even be completely devoted to them.

He looked at Cheng Nianying and didn't force it.

If she goes without medicine for a long time, she will give in. Why does he have to act so aggressive?

"Pack your bags and take care of your injury. If you need any medicine, get it from me. You were able to escape from the Prince's Mansion safely. If you die today from such a minor injury, wouldn't it be unfair?"

Commander Jiang spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he was joking.

But Cheng Nianying didn't smile at all.

It's bound to be boring.

Jiang Shenyuan raised the end of his eyebrows and said nothing more. It was surprising that Fu Yi cared about her.

In fact, Cheng Nianying's injuries were treated very carefully every day, and Chu Lin would come over and apply medicine to her carefully.

In the countless nights she spent licking her wounds alone, she never imagined that a day like this would come...

Why do we need others to worry about us?

The man surnamed Jiang was deliberately treating her well, so any little bit of it just slipped through his fingers.

It's not even as big as Fu Yi's fingernail.

Cheng Nianying wrinkled her nose and went to find Pei Jia.

"Are you leaving?" Pei Jia understood what Cheng Nianying meant and immediately stood up from his seat.

Compared to Pei Jia's reaction, Pei Yi was much calmer. He asked, "Are you sure he won't kill you?"

Pei Jia then said, "Yes, once you leave the Hanging Temple, your amulet will lose its effect!"

"I can't hide in the Hanging Temple forever."

When Pei Jia heard this, he suddenly felt distressed: "If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have come to the Hanging Temple to make such a fuss, and you wouldn't have run into that guy named Jiang."

Cheng Nianying shook her head in disapproval: "It's time to come."

"You'll eventually leave..."

“But you’re here.”

Pei Jia was suddenly speechless.

The room fell silent again.

Pei Jia thought for a while, then said in a strong voice, "I'll go with you!"

Pei Yu poured a bucket of cold water on him: "Don't hold us back."

Pei Jia: “…”

He wanted to refute it and save his dignity as the eldest brother, but when he thought about how he was kidnapped and had to rely on his sister to rescue him, he really didn't have the courage to refute it.

He looked at Pei Yi: "Then you..."

Even though he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the second brother was smarter.

Pei Yi calmly commented to himself, "Me too."

"I just don't know how to tell my mother." Cheng Nianying said in a low voice.

"That's not difficult. Just ask Dad to talk to her. He's the best at coaxing her..."

The discussion here was secret, and the three of them only fell silent when the young novice monk came to invite them to have a vegetarian meal.

When I pushed the door open and walked out, the third brother was waiting under the eaves. He was not yet fully grown and was thin and tall.

He spoke even less than Pei Yi, and was reserved and a little gloomy.

He first looked at Cheng Nianying who was walking out, then looked at Pei Jia who was following closely behind, and Pei Yi who was lagging behind.

Although they had sat together and eaten for several meals, Cheng Nianying had hardly spoken to him, so he still seemed unfamiliar and cold.

The third brother slowly walked together with Pei Yi.

He spoke, his voice young and hoarse: "Why do you always talk secretly together?"

After he finished speaking, he paused for a long time before asking, "Why don't you take me with you?"

Cheng Nianying was stunned for a moment, looking at it for a long time. Is this the reason?

*

After finishing the vegetarian meal, the young monk brought a basket to Cheng Nianying. In it were fruits that were almost impossible to find in the current season, and some snacks that could only be bought in the restaurant at the foot of the mountain.

From Cheng Nianying to the Hanging Temple, this happened almost every day.

Everyone else in the Pei Mansion was used to it.

But some people were shocked.

"The Hanging Temple is the Imperial Temple. Not only was she able to enter the Imperial Temple, she was also treated with courtesy beyond that of others..."

"Is this also because Fu Yi loves her?"

Cen Yaoxin hid among the bushes and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

So you can't kill her?

When Cen Yao couldn't hide her excitement, Cheng Nianying suddenly turned her head and looked towards her.

At the same time, Master Ruan grabbed her, pulled her away, and hid behind the wall.

Cen Yao's heart was beating like thunder, and she was a little bit unbelievable: "She saw me? She actually saw me!"

"It would be strange if she couldn't see you. Let's go quickly." Master Ruan carried her on his back.

Cen Yaoxin was still a little dazed: "Why? How did she see me?"

Master Ruan was puzzled as to why she, who had always been smart, acted so foolishly at this moment.

"If you were to spy on me from the shadows, I would spot you too. It's the same. It's a killer instinct."

"Killer instinct?... She is... a killer?" Cen Yaoxin's voice changed.

"Well, you don't know?"

"I..." Cen Yao clenched her teeth. No wonder, no wonder those stray dogs in the north of the city failed to kill her. No wonder she could leave Weiyang safely after the Cen family fell!

"If I had known earlier..." Cen Yaoxin's nails dug deep into the flesh.

If I had known earlier that the girl left behind by the Cen family was not just a maid.

Instead, it brought in a wolf!

She sighed painfully, "But there's no such thing as knowing it earlier."

*

At that time, people were playing music and dancing here.

Yan Niang has a soft figure and holds a pipa in her arms. She is gentle and graceful, and her movements are also neat and pleasing to the eye.

Fu Yi raised the cup to cover his face, hiding his expression.

The official from the Ministry of Justice sitting below could not help but show his agitated expression.

"Mrs. Yan" glanced around and saw that apart from the maids and servants who poured wine in the room, the two of them did not bring any guards.

There is no need to wait to go to bed.

She twisted her waist and came to Fu Yi, picked up the wine cup and poured it into his arms while feeding the wine into his mouth.

Fu Yi took the chopsticks placed beside him and pressed them against Yan Niang's shoulder.

Yan Niang paused and said softly, "How can our distinguished guest be so heartless?"

The official, watching from the side with eyes blazing with fire, also said, "How could the prince have the heart to push away such a beauty?"

Fu Yi looked at him: "Do you like it?"

"I dare not, I dare not." Even if he was itching to do so, he would not dare to compete with Prince Danshuo for the woman.

Fu Yi waved at him: "Come here."

The official did not dare to hesitate, and quickly walked over as instructed, and knelt down next to Fu Yi's food table.

"Come, take his hand."

The official didn't expect Fu Yi to really give in, and immediately extended his hand with surprise and caution.

"Yan Niang's" expression froze slightly.

Fu Yi scoffed lightly, "You like a man dressed as a woman?"

"Yan Niang"'s expression suddenly changed, and the short blade tied in her sleeve slipped out in an instant.

“Puff—”

Fu Yi took advantage of the situation and said, "Thank you for guarding me."

"I... I..." Before the official could come to his senses and figure out what "a woman disguised as a man" meant, he was stabbed.

Then the door was kicked open.

Someone also jumped down from the beam.

There were even people coming in through the window.

Only then did "Yan Niang" realize that it was clear that a big net was waiting for him!

But I shouldn’t!

"There's a traitor in the building? How did you know I was going to assassinate him today?"

His face turned fierce and he pounced on Fu Yi again.

Wu Xun shouted loudly, wielding a heavy sword and slashing down. Yan Niang rolled out of the way, and a huge crater was instantly created where he had been.

"If I can't catch you, I'll write my name backwards." Wu Xun curled his lips.

"Mother Yan" hurriedly said: "Manly man, if you have the guts, fight me alone and see if you can catch me."

Wu Xun rolled his eyes. "With so many of us, it wouldn't be easy to catch you. Who would fight you alone? If you were a man, why would you disguise yourself as a woman and assassinate someone?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Xun jumped onto the table, with the heavy sword in his hand carrying a fierce gust of wind.

"Yan Niang" carried it with all her strength, and her bones made crackling sounds.

The rest of the guards rushed forward.

Capture people, put cloth strips over their mouths, remove weapons, pierce the collarbone... all in one go.

Fu Yi stood up slowly, his posture calm.

The official from the Ministry of Justice let out a hoarse sound from his throat, fell to the ground, and looked at the scene in horror.

Fu Yi stared at the bright spot of blood on the hem of his clothes for a moment, then looked at the official again: "What's your name?"

The secret guard answered: "His name is Zhou Chou."

"Ministry of Justice..." Fu Yi paused for a moment, "Yuanwailang? I'll report to His Majesty. Although you're a court official openly frequenting brothels, you remained calm in the face of an assassin and blocked his blade for me. Your character is still commendable, and you deserve a reward."

The official's face lost all color in an instant, and his gray lips trembled as they opened and closed.

Finally, he uttered: "Thank you... Thank you, Prince."

On the way home.

Fu Yi's mood finally improved.

The letter has been sent, and those who should be killed must be killed.

He sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and asked the tied-up "Mrs. Yan": "Are you from Tianzi Pavilion?"

"Yan Niang"'s pupils shrank. She never expected that he knew this.

What a terrible traitor must have appeared in the building!

"Why are you still pretending to be a woman?"

The seal on "Yan Niang"'s mouth was removed.

He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before he said, "There are no women in Tianzi Pavilion..."

The subsequent interrogation became a trivial matter.

Fu Yi did not go to the dungeon, but first wrote a memorial about what happened today and ordered someone to send it to the palace quickly.

What happened in the Qinlou and Chuguan cannot be concealed and will spread quickly, so it is better to report it first.

After finishing all this, Fu Yi went to the dungeon.

"How's the interrogation going?"

"The people in Tianzi Pavilion really know more than us!" Qu Mai couldn't hide his excitement.

"Have you confessed everything?"

"Everything has been explained. The demolition of Shaoqu Tower must be imminent!" Qu Mai had no awareness that he was once a member of the group.

Fu Yi sat down not far away and stared at the killer from Tianzi Pavilion.

With the strength of Tianzi Pavilion, isn’t it a little weak?

Fu Yi reached out for the record of his confession, and all the words were written on a thin piece of paper.

He lowered his head to look through the pages, his brows slowly furrowed, and then he stood up and stepped back casually...

The bound killer laughed.

"This person is different!" Fu Yi quickly spat out a few words, and at the same time he took off his outer robe and threw it at the man.

But it was too late.

The killer spat out something from his mouth and it landed on Fu Yi.

The rest of the people's blood suddenly flowed back to their skulls.

"The difference between the Tianzi Pavilion and other trash is that no matter where we are, no matter what means we use, even if I am skinned and torn to pieces, I will complete the mission!" he said proudly.
