Chapter 115 Even his cousin is on guard!
Mo Ying quickly said, "There is still a clue. The spy said that the 'big shot' is a woman who likes beautiful women. She instructed him in advance to find a few handsome young men to serve her at the inn where she is staying."
Pei Jinghong's eyelids twitched, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
As expected, Mo Ying continued, "The most urgent task now is to capture that 'big shot'. As long as we capture her, we'll know what General Sun is going to do next."
He glanced at Pei Jinghong and praised him sincerely, "Although Shengjing has countless young talents, when it comes to beauty, if Mr. Pei is second, no one would dare to claim to be first!"
"And last time at the Liang Mansion, Master Pei coaxed Lin into a frenzy. If Master Pei is willing to help, he will surely be able to coax that 'big shot' into opening up to him!"
Pei Jinghong laughed angrily, he knew that Xie Yan had no good intentions!
When Mo Ying came, he was about to talk to his third cousin about the "fifth day of the New Year", but was interrupted by Mo Ying.
However, he also happened to confirm one thing, that is, Xie Yan would never allow other men to have the opportunity to contact his cousin alone.
He even has to be on guard against his cousin, let alone the killers outside?
Moreover, he didn't believe Mo Ying's nonsense at all, no matter what big shot or small shot, Xie Yan just didn't want him to stay in the Marquis' Mansion and stay with his cousin!
He pulled the corners of his mouth, with a forced smile: "Although I am happy to help, no one knows when that important person will come or where he will appear. Even if I want to help, I can't help!"
Mo Ying quickly said, "Although the time is still uncertain, the spies said that the woman will stay at the Tinghe Inn!"
"As long as Master Pei waits in the inn, the woman will definitely be tempted to get acquainted with him when she sees a man like you!"
Pei Jinghong chuckled: "Since we already know the location, why bother with so much trouble? Wouldn't it be better to have the secret guards surround the inn in advance?"
Mo Ying waved his hand. "That won't work. These Yin people are cautious and cunning. Once they discover that there are secret guards around the inn, they will quickly abandon this meeting place!"
He sighed, "I know I shouldn't bother Master Pei, but I really have no other options right now... If only I were half as pretty as Master Pei, I would be willing to risk everything for the slightest chance."
Without waiting for Pei Jinghong to speak, he hurriedly said, "Master Pei, please don't misunderstand me. I have no intention of forcing you to take risks. You are a delicate person, unlike us guards who work so hard."
"What if that woman is a martial arts expert and accidentally hurts you? That would be terrible!"
Ruan Yunbo thought for a moment and said, "We don't know whether what the Yin State spy said is true or not, nor do we know the strength of that 'big shot'. If my cousin gets hurt, I won't be able to explain to my uncle."
"My eldest brother should be returning to Beijing in a few days. Let's wait until he comes back before making a long-term plan."
Mo Ying sighed, "Third Young Master, you're right. I'm just worried that the 'big shot' will get away... and it will be even more difficult to catch him in the future."
Ruan Yunsheng frowned slightly. The collusion between General Sun and the State of Yin must be investigated as soon as possible.
She thought for a moment, "How about I ask Su Muyan for some information? He and Su Muci are brothers. Since there is a 'big shot' coming to Beijing, Su Muci must know about it. Su Muyan might also know something."
Pei Jinghong couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, do you know Mr. Su's brother?"
Ruan Yunbo said, "Cousin, you don't know this, but Su Muyan is interested in Shengsheng and has come to the Marquis' Mansion many times before. But it's strange, since Wei Wencai's death, why hasn't Su Muyan come again?"
Mo Ying couldn't help but cough a few times and lowered his head guiltily.
Not to mention entering the Marquis' Mansion, the prince has ordered that Su Muyan is not allowed to approach any of the eight streets near the Mansion.
He wanted to come, but he had no chance!
However, the prince meant to let Pei Jinghong leave the Marquis' Mansion and not hang around in front of the princess, not to let the princess meet Su Muyan!
Mo Ying hurriedly said, "Princess, I heard that the relationship between the two brothers of the Su family is not very close. I'm afraid Su Muyan doesn't know anything. I'd better think of other ways!"
Ruan Yunbo said, "Why don't I go? Su Muyan and I know each other anyway, so it wouldn't be too out of place to ask him out for dinner."
Pei Jinghong sighed.
Although he felt that the so-called "big shot" was probably fabricated by Xie Yan in order to get him to leave the Marquis' Mansion, what if such a person really existed?
Since his cousin and cousin took this matter so seriously, he couldn't just remain silent. After all, he was just staying at the inn for a few days.
After the matter was settled, Mo Ying returned to Prince Xuan's Mansion.
"Your Highness, I have already completed the tasks you requested! Master Pei has agreed to move to the inn tomorrow."
Xie Yan put down the pen and ink in his hand and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
After Pei Jinghong left the Marquis' Mansion, he naturally had no time to hang around Shengsheng.
Although in Shengsheng's eyes, Pei Jinghong is just a cousin, but a cousin is also a man.
He can't stay by Shengsheng's side, and no other man can get close to Shengsheng!
Thinking of Shengsheng's "Fifth Brother", he sighed with melancholy again.
How can he make Shengsheng neither hate him nor treat him as a brother?
Mo Ying continued, "Your Highness, Pei Jinghong seems to have doubted your identity. When I went over, I happened to hear him discussing the 'fifth day of the first lunar month' with the Third Young Master. He had barely begun to discuss it when I interrupted him."
"But I feel that since Pei Jinghong has begun to doubt, he will probably find another opportunity to test the waters later."
Xie Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Since Pei Jinghong doubts my identity, I might as well help him..."
Mo Ying was stunned. "But didn't the prince keep it a secret from the princess before, fearing that she would be angry if she knew?"
Xie Yan raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, but was also at a loss.
He was nice to Shengsheng, and Shengsheng mistakenly thought it was a brother's love for his sister, but he couldn't even pamper her enough, let alone make her angry.
Being treated as "Fifth Brother" is better than being hated by Shengsheng. At least Shengsheng can sleep next to him without any defense.
Shengsheng hates being lied to the most. If she knew he had kept it a secret from her for so long, she would definitely be very angry.
But Shengsheng has never shown any romantic feelings towards any man, but she only asked "Chuwu" to be her princess.
Although Shengsheng said that he chose Chuwu because he was obedient, there are so many obedient people in the world, why didn't Shengsheng choose someone else?
So in Shengsheng's heart, the "fifth day" is still somewhat different, right?
If Shengsheng knew that he was Chuwu, she would probably stop treating him as her brother, right?
As soon as this idea came into being, it grew like a vine.
This move is certainly risky, but if it can earn Shengsheng a different look, then it's worth a try...
Thinking of this, Xie Yan suddenly felt a little excited. What would Shengsheng's reaction be when she knew he was the fifth day of the new year?
