Zhou Wenshu was an insider, and he quickly found out the truth.
The next day at noon, Zhou Wenshu set off for Fanping.
Before setting off, Shen Qianxue gave Su Jinxia a high-quality white cloak to put on.
Su Jin's eyes were filled with a smile, and her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
It was just a casual remark, but someone remembered it. That feels so good.
The two boarded the carriage and slowly drove out of the city.
Behind them, three people watched the carriage depart.
The leader was named Huahen, a name given to him by Nie Qingyi because of a triangular scar on his face.
He was one of Nie Qingyi's most loyal followers, while the other two were his underlings.
This time, Nie Qingyi entrusted Huahen with such an important task of capturing Su Jin, and Huahen was determined to succeed.
"Could the woman beside the Phoenix Lord be Su Jinxia?" the underling asked.
Huahen raised his chin, looking slightly arrogant, "Very likely, after all, the treasure is in the Phoenix Pavilion, and Su Jin will definitely try to get close to the Phoenix Lord."
"Then what do we do?"
"Of course we should follow them and find an opportunity to kidnap them," Huahen said.
The younger brother's eyes darted around, and he came up with a wicked idea.
"Why don't we take advantage of Phoenix Lord's injuries and kill him in one fell swoop? This would be a much greater achievement than capturing Su Jinxia, and you, Brother Hua, would become a hero of the Glazed Society."
Huahen's eyes lit up, but he hesitated. "The person driving the car is Shen Xi, the number one expert of Phoenix Pavilion. He's not easy to deal with."
"Are the three of us afraid of not being able to beat him?" the younger brother said dismissively.
Huahen narrowed her eyes, a hint of attraction in her eyes.
"Let's go, let's follow them!"
Summer is almost here, and the weather is unpredictable, with two consecutive days of scorching sun.
Su Jin was too hot and drank a lot of water. Soon after, she got out of the car to relieve herself.
"Brother Hua, should we make a move?"
Huahen gritted his teeth, deep in thought, the scars on his face revealing a hint of ferocity.
The woman was alone; this was a good opportunity to abduct her quietly without any conflict.
but……
Huahen was very tempted by his younger brother's suggestion. He wanted to perform even better so that Nie Qingyi would definitely look at him differently.
Thinking of that vixen Nie Qingyi, Huahen decided to take the risk.
"Wait a little longer, and find a suitable opportunity to kill Shen Qianxue!"
At the same time, Su Jin was in a real bind.
Her excellent eyesight allowed her to spot Huahen and the other two immediately.
They actually caught up with us.
If these three aren't dealt with, they could very well ruin her plans!
It was evening.
The carriage entered Yu City, and Shen Qianxue planned to stay there for the night.
Upon arriving at the inn, Su Jinxia and Shen Qianxue went into their room first, while Shen Xi went to arrange dinner.
Looking down at the bustling market below, Su Jinxia said with great interest, "Yucheng is a fortress! I heard it's very lively. Can I go out for a stroll tonight?"
Shen Qianxue gazed thoughtfully out the window and said softly, "Go if you want to, but be careful."
Su Jin smiled, revealing her teeth, and sat down, resting her chin on her hand while staring at Shen Qianxue. "It's a pity you can't come with me. It's more fun to go with someone."
Su Jinxia was used to teasing Shen Qianxue from time to time, but she didn't expect him to respond.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qianxue took a sip of tea and said calmly, "I'll go with you when my leg is better."
"Where are you going?" The door was half-open, and Shen Xi pushed it open and walked in.
Su Jin sighed. Shen Xi was a stumbling block on her road to happiness.
After dinner, Su Jin went out and happened to run into Shen Xi, who was also going out.
"Where are you going?" Su Jin asked.
Shen Xi raised an eyebrow, mimicking Su Jin's tone, "None of your business!"
Su Jin down...
The two disliked each other so much that they left the inn one after the other and went their separate ways.
Su Jin was not wearing a cloak, so her appearance was completely exposed.
She planned to lure Huahen and the other two out and then kill them.
Huahen's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he said, "It really is Su Jin! I didn't expect her to be so capable, being able to go in and out with the Phoenix Lord in just a few days."
The younger brother said excitedly, "Chen Xi is gone too, and Shen Qianxue and Su Jin are both alone now. Who should we take care of first?"
"Of course it's Shen Qianxue!" Huahen smacked his underling on the head. "We can deal with that good-for-nothing Su Jin later!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Hua is wise!" The younger brother was overjoyed, as if he could see his bright future.
As the three watched Su Jinxia and Shen Xi walk away, they turned around and came to a small alley behind the inn, which led to the second floor of the inn.
However, before they could find a good spot, a sarcastic voice rang out from above.
"They came so quickly! They had no patience or vigilance at all, all my elaborate arrangements were for nothing."
Shen Xi stood on the roof, looking down at the three scoundrels.
In the afternoon, Shen Xi discovered that three people were following behind on horseback. After discussing it with Shen Qianxue, they decided not to alert them and to capture them alive when they arrived in Yucheng.
Huahen immediately realized they had fallen into a trap; Shenxi had discovered them and even set a snare.
"Walk!"
Huahen wanted to escape.
A row of people appeared around the alley with a "whoosh," each with their clothes fluttering without wind, indicating their considerable strength.
These people were all from the Phoenix Pavilion's Yucheng intelligence branch. They received a notification from Shen Xi during dinner and were temporarily transferred here to help.
They just didn't expect that they were three good-for-nothings.
As a result, Huahen and his two companions were arrested without a doubt.
On the other side, Su Jin's head swelled even more.
Huahen didn't follow, and strangely enough, several strangers were now following her.
Su Jin felt a vague unease, sensing that something was wrong.
She pretended to be buying something from a vendor but didn't have any money, and hurried back to the inn.
