Chapter 200: Covering Up
The Hanging Temple and Heqing are not far from the Imperial Capital, and it is not a large family move. Commander Jiang led the group to move at a very fast speed and they were about to enter the Imperial Capital in a blink of an eye.
After taking a rest, Zhong Dingyuan's face turned pale.
A man who looked like a eunuch came forward and supported him.
He glanced at Jiang Shenyuan coldly.
Jiang Shenyuan thought Zhong Dingyuan was going to blame him for not saving him when he was crying in the carriage.
Who knew that Zhong Dingyuan would just glance at him.
He said nothing else and walked towards the inn. When he entered the door, he turned his head and said two words to Cheng Nianying: "Follow me."
Jiang Shenyuan was slightly surprised.
But it would be better for him not to cause trouble.
Only after Jiang Shenyuan entered did Master Ruan take Cen Yaoxin out of the carriage.
In front of Master Ruan, Cen Yaoxin lamented, "From now on, I will never be seen in public again."
Master Ruan didn't think about it and said, "It's not that you are not allowed to see others or that I want to hide you. It's just that others can't see that noble man."
"Oh?" Cen Yaoxin leaned against Master Ruan. There was no other way; without her wheelchair, she couldn't walk. She smiled happily, "Then I finally feel much better."
Inside the door.
Although Zhong Dingyuan asked Cheng Nianying to follow, it was up to Cheng Nianying whether to listen or not.
Cheng Nianying was not far behind, and was caught up by Jiang Shenyuan in just a few steps.
"What did you do to him in the carriage?"
The "he" Jiang Shenyuan mentioned naturally refers to the deposed Crown Prince Zhong Dingyuan.
"Nothing."
"Still trying to scare me?" Jiang Shenyuan laughed, "I heard him scream."
Cheng Nianying felt awkward when she heard the laughter.
Although it was all pretend, Fu Yi was more natural than him.
"Originally, someone was going to go and save him, but do you know why no one went in the end?" Jiang Shenyuan took a half step faster and was half a body length away from Cheng Nianying.
Cheng Nianying wrinkled her nose quietly.
Even so, I can't act well.
If Fu Yi wants to act, at least he should act alongside her.
Jiang Shenyuan suddenly turned his head, and when he glanced at Cheng Nianying from a sidelong glance given his height, he felt an invisible sense of oppression: "It's because I stopped you."
Cheng Nianying: "Oh."
Jiang Shenyuan: "..."
For a moment, he suspected that the reason Fu Yi fell in love with Cheng Nianying was because she was too difficult to deal with.
Difficult things are what people care about most.
"This is not the attitude a subordinate should have." Jiang Shenyuan stopped.
Cheng Nianying said seriously, "Please give me your instructions, sir."
"..."Is it the same when facing Fu Yi?
Jiang Shenyuan thought about it this way, and the lump in his throat was gone.
He said, "You should thank me."
"Thank you, sir." Cheng Nianying still had a stern face and spoke quickly.
Jiang Shenyuan: "..."
At this time, Zhong Dingyuan had already walked upstairs and leaned over the railing to shout down, "What are you still standing there for? Come up quickly!"
Cheng Nianying didn't care whether it was her or not, and she went upstairs actively.
Jiang Shenyuan touched the sword at his waist.
It really makes people want to see her other expressions.
Go upstairs and follow Zhong Dingyuan into the guest room.
Zhong Dingyuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the girl would listen to him again.
"Are you curious why I didn't report you to Commander Jiang for injuring me?" Zhong Dingyuan snorted coldly.
Cheng Nianying was not curious.
But Zhong Dingyuan continued, "I've also noticed that, although you're Jiang Shenyuan's subordinate, you're clearly more distant than close to him."
"If I report you with him, I'm afraid I'll be punished."
"A man doesn't want to argue with a little girl like you..."
As Zhong Dingyuan was speaking, Cheng Nianying gave him a strange look and interrupted, "So you tried to push me into the water at Prince Kang's mansion earlier?"
Zhong Dingyuan choked.
I have a good memory.
He spared her, but why didn't he know to go down the stairs?
"Let's put things in perspective. Shouldn't you thank me today for tolerating and protecting you?" Zhong Dingyuan found his voice again.
Cheng Nianying tilted her head.
Why does she have to thank everyone?
If she doesn't pursue any of them, then she doesn't have to thank anyone!
After thinking about this logic, Cheng Nianying turned around and left.
Zhong Dingyuan was immediately very angry.
It just so happened that Jiang Shenyuan was not outside at this time, so Cheng Nianying went to find a place to live.
Inside the house, Zhong Dingyuan's expression gradually calmed down, and he laughed at himself, "No one really takes me seriously..."
"Father, oh father." Will you really reinstate me?
Or do I only exist as a knife to kill Fu Yi?
Zhong Dingyuan raised his eyes and looked at the door closed by Cheng Nianying again, hiding the deep look in his eyes.
＊
Cheng Nianying had not rested in the room for long when she was called out.
Jiang Shenyuan drew his sword and threw it to Cheng Nianying: "Hold it tight."
Cheng Nianying didn't understand why, but it was her instinct to grab any weapon she could get her hands on.
Without thinking, she opened her five fingers and took it.
"That day, Master Ruan saw the monk and left. Today, you must have a serious fight with Master Ruan and let me see your skills."
Cheng Nianying raised her hand and touched the wound on her neck.
Not fully recovered yet.
But she didn't have time to hesitate, and the next moment Master Ruan rushed towards her excitedly.
Cen Yaoxin and Zhong Dingyuan, two people who were not allowed to show up, hid upstairs and watched quietly.
Just when I was worried, this opportunity came. Without the monk here, it wouldn't matter if Master Ruan accidentally killed Cheng Nianying.
Cen Yaoxin let out a sigh of relief.
"Clang——" A cold collision sound.
Cheng Nianying's finger bones felt numb and her neck felt painful at the same time.
The wound was slightly broken.
But she had witnessed Master Ruan's great strength last time, and at this moment, the sword in her hand slid along with the force, actually reducing Master Ruan's strength.
There was a flash of surprise in Master Ruan's eyes.
Not only did she continuously improve her body movements during the last fight, but she also seemed to review and study after it was over.
Master Ruan became more excited: "I'm going to let go."
These words were not spoken to Cheng Nianying, but to Jiang Shenyuan.
Jiang Shenyuan refused to give in. In fact, he really didn't dare to kill Cheng Nianying in person.
Jiang Shenyuan will take action.
"As a killer, you have to give your all every time you attack. How can you be bound by any constraints?" Jiang Shenyuan said.
Master Ruan understood as soon as he heard it.
His body attacked Cheng Nianying in a weird and twisted posture.
His bones made crackling sounds from twisting too much.
But he seemed to feel no pain at all, showing a monstrous talent.
Cen Yaoxin didn't pay attention to these things, she just stared at Cheng Nianying...
Just when the knife was about to cut Cheng Nianying's neck... Jiang Shenyuan blocked it with a knife.
Master Ruan's long sword was easily blocked.
And what Jiang Shenyuan used was just a short knife... Cheng Nianying lowered his eyes and memorized it in his heart.
＊
Imperial Capital.
Fu Yi changed his clothes again and put on his sword, which was rare.
He has a gentlemanly demeanor, and the sword seems a bit out of place.
The members of the Divine Guards looked at him from a distance and thought that this man would kill without shedding blood or using a knife.
"The assassin from Tianzi Pavilion died a quick death, but we don't know if he was Yajiu. Master Ruan is different from ordinary people and is very easy to identify."
"If you meet these two, be on your guard. Go."
