Chapter 485: A City Full of Strange Things
"You beast, you beast!" Nun Wuyou looked at Mother Shen with vicious eyes.
"I really regret that I kept you when I gave birth to you and didn't strangle you to death!"
"Now you are helping outsiders to deal with me!"
The men in black looked at each other.
The reason they were ordered to protect Nun Wuyou was because their master asked them to protect Nun Wuyou and the young master.
Although they have always been by Master Wuyou's side, they have also been concerned about the safety of the young master.
Now Master Wuyou asked them to kill the master's bloodline, which goes against the master's orders.
Moreover, the young master was holding the master's identity token in his hand.
Seeing this token is like seeing the master himself.
Seeing the man in black wavering, Shen's mother struck while the iron was hot:
"Put away your weapons and retreat! Don't forget who you are supposed to protect!"
The men in black said in unison:
"Subordinates and others dare not forget, so we will withdraw now!"
As soon as the words fell, the man in black disappeared from everyone's sight as ghostly as when he came.
Nun Wuyou was furious and clutched her collar tightly.
"You will regret what you did today. The Xuanyuan clan's people are all poisonous scorpions. If you help them, you will destroy yourself."
"Get out of here! From now on, I will no longer have a daughter like you!"
Mother Shen kowtowed three times to Nun Wuyou.
"Even though mother wanted to kill me just now, I will never forget that it was mother who gave me the right to come into this world."
"My daughter hopes that she can enjoy her old age in peace, let go of worldly hatred, and truly become a well-respected Nun Wuyou."
After saying that, Mother Shen took Pei Miao's hand and walked out of the Zen room without looking back, completely ignoring the unbearable curses of Master Wuyou behind her.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Shen's mother stuffed the token into Shen Zhao's hand again.
"Take this token, and promise me you will rescue Zhao Zhao."
Then Mother Shen seemed to think of something.
Shouted into the darkness:
"Come out."
The group of men in black just left and came back.
Mother Shen instructed him:
"As your young master, I now order you to follow Prince Zhong to Yunlong Villa and help him enter the villa and rescue Chen Zhao."
The man in black looked embarrassed.
They can enter Yunlong Villa, but if they bring outsiders in, the owner will not forgive them.
But they had to obey the young master's orders.
"It is the subordinates who obey orders."
Together with these black-clad men who originally came from Yunlong Villa, Shen Zhao is now even more powerful.
Bid farewell to Mother Shen and Pei Miao.
Shen Zhao set out on the road to Yangcheng.
After hurrying all the way, they finally met Zhou An, the Second Prince and others at the city gate.
There is another person who is both expected and unexpected by Shen Zhao, Xie Yuheng!
Xie Yuheng grinned at Shen Zhao.
"Brother Chu, you can't send me back. I finally escaped from Kyoto City, and I will never go back no matter what."
Chen Zhao looked at Xie Yuheng helplessly. This kid didn't believe that his grandfather had kidnapped the Ninth Prince.
Come and see for yourself.
Now that they had arrived in Yangcheng, she really couldn't send him back.
What if something happens on the road?
As soon as the group entered Yangcheng, Shen Zhao felt something was wrong.
Xie Yuheng, who was also a tough guy, was following Shen Zhao with a serious face.
Xie Yuheng moved closer to Chen Zhao.
He whispered:
"Brother Chu, why do I feel that something is not right in Yangcheng? There is something strange and weird everywhere."
"My Nanchu people have an open mind, and there are no cities that restrict women from going out on the streets."
"Since we entered the city, all we've seen are strong men. Even if there are women, they are very few and most of them are elderly. Isn't that strange?"
Not only are most of them strong men, but they all know martial arts. Look at their eyes, they are all alert and vigilant.
Yangcheng is not far from Kyoto. It is such a strange city, but they have never discovered the specialness of Yangcheng.
Shen Zhao said with a serious expression:
"Let's go to the Yangcheng prefect's residence."
Now is not the time to go up the mountain. If she doesn't find out why Yangcheng is so strange, they might be killed for no reason before they even reach the foot of the mountain.
The Second Prince, who was walking in the middle of the team, hurriedly passed through the crowd and went straight to the middle of Shen Zhao and Xie Yuheng.
He said with an ugly face:
"Your Majesty, these people are not ordinary people."
Shen Zhao and Xie Yuheng had seen it just now, and of course they knew that these civilians were not ordinary people.
Seeing that Shen Zhao did not answer, the Second Prince said anxiously:
"The people of Yangcheng all know Kung Fu, and they are all very united and xenophobic. A large influx of outsiders like us into the city will easily arouse hostility and vigilance among the locals."
It was more than just hostility, Shen Zhao saw murderous intent in the eyes of many passersby.
"Your Highness, in my opinion, we should quickly cross the city and head straight to the back mountain to Yunlong Villa."
The Second Prince is really afraid of the people in Yangcheng.
These are not ordinary people, they are executioners who want to take people's lives.
"There's no rush to Yunlong Villa. It's getting late today, so it's inconvenient to climb the mountain. Let's go to the Yangcheng prefect's residence to rest for a night before setting off again."
As soon as Shen Zhao finished speaking, the Second Prince immediately jumped up to object.
"No, we can't go to the prefect's residence."
Shen Zhao and Xie Yuheng looked at the Second Prince at the same time.
The Second Prince knew that he had overreacted and sighed:
"Don't look at me like that. We can't go to the prefect's mansion anyway. If we go, we won't survive the night."
"What if I must go?" From the moment he entered the city, Chen Zhao guessed that the Yangcheng prefect was probably from the Xuanyuan clan.
The Second Prince was so anxious that he scratched his head and said:
"Your Highness, I don't want to die yet. I haven't redeemed myself yet."
"Listen to my advice, the prefect is not a good person."
The more the Second Prince said this, the more Shen Zhao and Xie Yuheng wanted to go and take a look.
The group swaggered towards the prefect's residence.
The second prince stomped his feet in anger.
"Why are you so unwilling to listen to advice? Why are you so eager to die?"
But looking at the crowd going away, he had to bite the bullet and keep up.
When Shen Zhao and his group arrived at the gate of the prefect's residence, a plump, amiable-looking middle-aged man came out to greet them, panting heavily with every step.
"Yangcheng Prefect Song Zhou pays his respects to the Prince and to Mr. Xie San."
Xie Yuheng looked at the plump and white Magistrate Song and could not connect him with a vicious and cruel person.
If Prefect Song were placed in a temple, no one would doubt that he was Maitreya Buddha.
"Brother Chu, I don't think this Prefect Song is a bad guy."
Xie Yuheng whispered in Shen Zhao's ear.
Shen Zhao has been observing the prefect Song.
She clearly saw the smile on Prefect Song's lips, and when Xie Yuheng whispered in her ear, the smile deepened.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be impossible to hear Xie Yuheng's muttering at this distance.
Shen Zhao's eyes deepened, and at this moment a voice came into Shen Zhao's mind.
