Chapter 191 Secret Collusion
Xiao Yunshuo nodded and said, "Be careful these days. I'm afraid someone has issued a bounty on the Jianghu. Otherwise, with Jade-faced Young Master's cunning, he wouldn't dare to provoke someone from the imperial court."
Matters of the court are handled through official channels, and matters of the underworld are handled through underworld channels. These are the customary rules. As long as they are not too excessive, the court and the underworld have always tried their best to keep their distance and live in peace.
Therefore, even though Qin Mengyue and Shen Fenghe were both deposed, they were still officials, and people in the martial arts world would generally avoid them as much as possible for fear of getting into trouble.
This is also the reason why, although Shen Fenghe had encountered several assassination attempts along the way, the assassins' levels were average and almost no martial arts masters had taken action against her.
Now that martial arts masters have begun to take action, the situation will only become more turbulent and dangerous.
"Sir, do you want to be transferred..." Yuan Xu couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
Xiao Yunshuo closed his eyes slightly and said, "Not yet. Let's wait and see what happens over the next few days and find out who is behind the bounty."
Once that force is mobilized, the fact that he is still alive is likely to leak out, which would be unwise when the enemy is still in the dark.
"Yes." Yuan Xu agreed.
Chen Fenghe changed her clothes and returned to the room. Qin Mengyue saw her and couldn't help laughing: "I just heard some noise and thought something happened. I was about to knock on the door when I heard Shuo'er's voice inside, so I didn't knock. You guys..."
Chen Fenghe's cheeks couldn't help but blush, and she quickly said, "Mom...you're mistaken. I was scared by a mouse and made some splashing noises, so he rushed in to take a look...We're fine..."
Qin Mengyue couldn't help laughing and said, "You kid, you are husband and wife, so even if there is something going on, it's only natural. There's nothing to be shy about..."
Seeing that Qin Mengyue was still teasing her, Chen Fenghe couldn't help but say shamefully, "Mom, I... I suddenly have a stomachache. I need to go to the toilet..."
With that, he went out in a flash.
The cold wind on the winter night after the snow had just fallen was so chilling that it made people shiver, but it also took a lot of the heat off her face.
Chen Fenghe simply walked to the backyard of the inn to check on the horses and mules, intending to feed them some good fodder while no one was around.
While feeding, I suddenly heard low voices of conversation outside the inn, which was just across the wall.
"General Qu, are you really willing to put in a few good words for us in front of the Second Prince and the Emperor so that we can be reinstated?"
A surprised voice came through the wall.
Chen Fenghe couldn't help but frown.
Because the owner of this voice was actually Qin Jinzhong!
The person speaking to him also lowered his voice, but his tone was filled with arrogance and sarcasm. He said, "Don't worry, Uncle Qin. Our general's words are of course counted. As long as you act according to our general's instructions, you will be reinstated in the future, and even climb up the Second Prince's ladder to success. Isn't that easy?"
Qin Jinzhong couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this.
"Thank you, General! I will obey your orders, even if it means death! I just don't know what your instructions are..."
The other party was very cautious and said, "I will tell you what you want me to do when the time is right. No need to ask any more questions!"
Chen Fenghe frowned even tighter.
The Qin family is really a family that won't cry until they see the coffin. She was too disdainful to pay attention to them, but she didn't expect that they would secretly harm them. Don't blame her for being rude!
However, I don’t know what General Qu is up to, so I need to be patient and wait and see.
