On the second day after the siege of the capital, Shen Jinchen took Feng Qin and Youhe to Bailong Mountain, a hundred miles away from the capital, to watch the tug-of-war between the two sides.
Yan Shengxiao's team was well-organized and had undergone rigorous military training. Each member was highly skilled in martial arts and could take on ten opponents at once. Clearly, the enemy had gone all out.
Within an hour, the heavily guarded north gate of the capital was breached by the enemy's powerful offensive.
"Young master, is this a good time?"
Upon seeing this, Youhe was overjoyed.
"Once they've all entered the city, notify Zhao Yu to counter-encircle these people."
Looking at the scene below, Shen Jinchen felt that the time was just right.
"Young Master, how long do you think His Majesty can hold on?"
"Chen Lie, the commander of the Imperial Guard, is quite capable; he should be able to hold out for two days."
"So when do we make our move?"
Youhe looked at Shen Jinchen with excitement; he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"No rush. Let them weaken each other first. We can observe the movements of both armies in the next few days."
Shen Jinchen's gaze was deep and his whole body exuded a chilling aura. A hundred years had passed, and the Beiming royal family could finally see hope. How could Yan Shengxiao let him have his way this time?
In town, Cen Xi has been diligently practicing her martial arts these past few days in order to no longer be restrained by Shen Jinchen.
Fortunately, the Hidden Sect's kung fu could still be used even when the acupoints were pressed. Shen Jinchen's technique could last for five or six days, and today was the fifth day. Cen Xi felt that as long as she tried harder, she would definitely be able to escape today.
So as soon as Shen Jinchen left, she forced herself to circulate her internal energy inside the house, and thankfully, her efforts paid off.
Just after noon, she finally broke through the pressure point blockage. She had already come up with a plan. Since she couldn't escape, she would go back to the capital to find the emperor and reclaim her status as the eldest princess.
Shen Jinchen must submit to us, otherwise this life will be too suffocating.
So, when the semester started, she did the opposite and headed towards the capital.
After watching the battle, Shen Jinchen returned to the inn with Feng Qin and Youhe in the evening.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he found the room deathly still, and the woman who used to lie on the bed was gone.
Then his face instantly darkened, and he went straight to the room where Guan Junxiao and Zhu Yanniang were, pushing open the door to check the situation.
Seeing that the two were still lying there obediently, Shen Jinchen flicked his finger, releasing their pressure points, and asked:
Where did Cen Xi go?
"How do we know you've also used acupressure on us? You're saying Cen Xi ran away!!!"
Suddenly free, Jun Xiaoqiao didn't hold back and retorted to Shen Jinchen. Then, upon hearing his words, she immediately realized that Cen Xi had run away alone, and roared without any regard for her image.
Shen Jinchen glanced at the two people's reactions speechlessly, and after confirming that Cen Xi had not contacted them, he turned and left.
Back in the house, he remained silent for a long while before finally speaking:
"Fengqin! Release the Thousand-Drawing Disc to find the person!"
"With a great battle imminent, is Young Master sure you want to search for someone?"
Fengqin asked somewhat unwillingly, "This is an excellent opportunity. If we miss it, we'll have to wait for another chance. Wouldn't all our efforts over the years have been wasted?"
"Search!"
Shen Jinchen wiped his face and managed to utter a single word as he looked at Feng Qin.
"yes!"
Feng Qin responded and silently left the room. After leaving, he glanced at the closed door and shook his head.
After Jun Xiaoqiao and Zhu Yanniang were freed, they looked at each other and both condemned Cen Xi for his immorality.
They went to great lengths to rescue her, and were tied up by Shen Jinchen the whole way. But she just ran away as soon as she was free, ignoring them completely.
"Where do you think she might have run off to? She's so shameless. When we find her, we'll give her a good beating."
Jun Xiaoqiao sat there without any regard for her image, her mouth full of resentment towards Cen Xi for running away on her own.
"If you can beat her, I'll support you."
Zhu Yanniang rolled her eyes, directly provoking Jun Xiaoqiao. She was also somewhat dissatisfied with Cen Xi's behavior, but her hasty escape clearly showed that she couldn't care less about them.
"Damn it, even though we didn't do much along the way, our actions were for her benefit, weren't they?! That person of hers!!!"
Hearing Zhu Yanniang's words, her momentum weakened a bit. She clearly knew that she couldn't beat Cen Xi, but she was still very angry that Cen Xi had just abandoned them like that.
"Alright, now Prime Minister Shen shouldn't care about us anymore. Our Su Nu Sect has a tracking insect that can track down the person we want to find. Do you want to find her? If you do, I can release it."
Zhu Yanniang felt that Jun Xiaoqiao was being a bit long-winded, so she interrupted her and suggested that they go find Cen Xi.
"Find her, we must find her! That damned woman, when I find her I'll skin her alive."
Jun Xiaoqiao clenched her fists indignantly, her face puffing out in a rather cute way.
Zhu Yanniang was amused by her appearance and couldn't help but tease her:
"You remind me of someone."
"who?"
"Wen Qihe, for a while she insisted on calling Cen Xi her husband. You don't have any other thoughts about that, do you?"
“What is Wen Qihe? How can she compare to me? I have the urge to beat her to death. Yan Niang, you underestimate me too much. Release your tracking bugs and find her quickly. I reckon the neighbor who lost face next door will also be looking for her. I just don’t know which of us will find her the fastest.”
Jun Xiaoqiao rolled her eyes, then looked excited and ready to watch the show.
"Alright, I hope we find it first. I'll take you to hide at the Su Nu Sect for a while. The Su Nu Sect has a natural barrier. No matter how powerful Ren Chen Jinchen is, he can't break through the barrier in a short time. He'll tie you up once, and when we leave, we'll tie up his guards too. We'll take them back to the Su Nu Sect and let the girls have some fun."
After this incident, Zhu Yanniang clearly disliked Shen Jinchen, but she couldn't defeat the cunning Prime Minister Shen, so she had no choice but to target the guards around him.
"That's a good idea. This Prime Minister Chen is too shameless. We can't kidnap him, but we can catch his dog and play with him to vent our anger."
Zhu Yanniang's idea was exactly to her liking, so she wholeheartedly agreed.
After Fengqin released the Thousand-Point Disc, he was standing under the eaves in a daze, but for some reason, he started sneezing one after another. Yuhe, who was passing by, also sneezed several times as he passed by him.
Out of curiosity, he stopped Youhe and asked:
Why are you sneezing so much?
After asking the question, he couldn't help but type one.
"I don't know, the Thousand-Butterfly has been released?"
There was a question asked in a very serious tone.
"We've been released, and I feel like someone's after us, which is why we keep sneezing."
Fengqin thought about their current symptoms and was certain that someone was going to get revenge on them. He had heard people say that sneezing meant someone was targeting you, and their current condition clearly indicated that someone was after them.
