Chapter 442 I feel bad for you
Shen Wanxiong’s expression began to become gloomy.
He looked towards the gate and remembered that when Wen Yu came to report just now, he did not mention at all that the imperial envoy was going to Shabao County.
Doesn't he know?
Or are you deliberately hiding it?
But now is not the time to deal with Wen Yu, the first priority is to deal with the imperial envoy.
Shen Wanxiong began to pace back and forth in the room, and finally made up his mind.
He looked at Duan Shenshen with a sinister smile on his face.
“I remember there was a very deep ravine on the road to Shabao County. If someone fell into it, they would die without a trace of their body.
In such an icy and snowy environment, if the imperial envoy encounters an accident while traveling, he might accidentally…"
Upon hearing this, Duan Shenshen was so frightened that her legs went limp and her already fair face became even paler.
"Master, that, that, that... that's the imperial envoy..." Duan Shenshen's face was filled with fear, and even his voice was trembling. "Why don't we discuss this with the prefect..."
"There's no point in discussing this with him." Shen Wanxiong sneered.
"Shi doesn't have the guts to attack the imperial envoy. If he's pushed too hard, he'll just sell me out to save his own life!
Fortune and wealth are sought through risk, and there are some things that we can only do ourselves. "
At this moment, a very slight strange noise suddenly came from outside the door.
"Who!?" Shen Wanxiong and Duan Shenshen were shocked at the same time.
Shen Wanxiong winked, and Duan Shenshen immediately opened the door to check, but only saw the lantern at the door fell to the ground.
"Master, it's okay, it's just that the lantern was blown away by the wind."
Duan Shenshen picked up the lantern and hung it up again.
…
Early in the morning, Zhu Lan packed his bags and just opened the door, he saw Wen Yu waiting at the door.
There was a layer of snow on his shoulders, and it was obvious that he had been here for a long time, but he was afraid of disturbing Zhu Lan, so he kept waiting outside.
"Mr. Wen?" Zhu Lan was a little surprised. Seeing that his handsome face was a little red from the cold, he quickly invited him into the house to talk.
After entering the house, Wen Yu's face was unusually serious.
"Miss Zhu, are you going to Shabao County?"
The smile on Zhu Lan's face froze slightly, and he felt a little embarrassed.
"Master Wen, I didn't intend to hide this from you... You have your own difficulties and can't tell me everything about Qingzhou. Then we can only investigate it ourselves."
"That's not what I meant to say." Wen Yu shook his head and said anxiously, "I was at the Shen residence last night. Mr. Shen already knew that you were going to Shabao County. He wanted to fight to the death. You will be in danger on the way."
"A fight to the bitter end?" Zhu Lan asked with a frown.
Wen Yu nodded, looking extremely serious.
Zhu Lan smiled softly and took a step closer to him, "Master Wen, are you worried about my safety?"
"Of course I'm worried!" Wen Yu blurted out, then realized that he had lost his composure.
Zhu Lan's smile deepened. She looked into Wen Yu's eyes and said:
"Then you tell me the whole truth, and I won't have to go. It will be safe."
"I...I can't say." Wen Yu's expression began to become tangled and painful.
The two of them stood in stare at each other for a moment, and Zhu Lan finally withdrew her gaze and walked out. Zhu Qingyan was already waiting for her outside.
"If I don't force you, then don't stop me."
Wen Yu suddenly caught up.
"I'll go with you!"
…
"What, the imperial envoy went to Shabao County!?" Shi Yuanzhong jumped up from his chair when he heard the news.
He immediately asked someone to invite Li Moxu and Shen Wanxiong.
Li Moxu arrived soon. When he heard that Zhu Lan and Zhu Qingyan went to Shabao County, he was also shocked.
Shi Yuanzhong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"My Lord Li... they suddenly want to go to Shabao County, why didn't you send anyone to spread the news!"
"They didn't tell me in advance, how would I know!" Li Moxu also got angry and said, "Didn't that Shen arrange people to keep an eye on the imperial envoy? How come he has a bunch of good-for-nothings!?"
Shi Yuanzhong yelled outside the door: “I told you to call Shen Wanxiong, why hasn’t he arrived yet!”
Before he finished speaking, a servant came in hurriedly.
"Sir, Master Shen said that the snow and wind are too strong today and he doesn't want to go out.
He also said that he already knew about the two imperial envoys going to Shabao County and had made arrangements. Please be patient and he will take care of it. "
…
On the small road from Yu County in Qingzhou to Shabao County, a horse-drawn carriage was moving slowly forward in the snow.
Wen Yu originally wanted to drive the carriage, but Zhu Qingyan did not trust him and wanted to drive the carriage himself.
Wen Yu and Zhu Lan sat in the carriage. Wen Yu said nothing and looked solemn.
"Master Wen may be worrying too much. It's broad daylight now. Could it be that Shen Wanxiong dares to assassinate the imperial envoy?" Zhu Lan looked at him and smiled.
Wen Yu's eyebrows were deeply knitted together. He said nothing, but occasionally lifted the curtain and looked out.
"Wait, we're almost there!" he said suddenly with a stern look on his face.
Zhu Qingyan, who was outside the carriage, stopped the carriage and asked him what was wrong after hearing it.
Wen Yu jumped off the carriage and pointed to the road ahead and said:
"There's a narrow road over there, which is difficult for a carriage to pass through. There's also a deep ditch nearby, which is very dangerous."
Zhu Lan and the other man looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, they saw the ditch among the layers of dead tree branches.
Zhu Qingyan laughed and said, "That place is still far from the road. We are walking on the road. How could we fall into the ditch over there?"
After that, she asked the two to get in the car and prepared to continue their journey.
At this moment, a sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a feather arrow shot straight from the woods ahead!
"Be careful." Zhu Qingyan pushed Zhu Lan and turned sideways. The arrow was firmly nailed to the wooden board of the carriage.
Then, four or five masked figures emerged from the woods and rushed towards the carriage.
“This Shen Wanxiong actually dared…” Zhu Lan’s expression also changed.
Wen Yu gritted his teeth and said, "He wants to kill someone here, then dump the body into the ditch and turn it into an unsolved case!"
"You two, get in the carriage!" Wen Yu said anxiously, looking around for something that could be used as a weapon. "I'll take care of these people."
"Do you know martial arts?" Zhu Lan asked, his eyes full of worry.
"I know a little." Wen Yu nodded, pushed her gently, and urged her to get on the carriage quickly.
Zhu Lan winked at Zhu Qingyan, and the two of them got on the carriage.
Soon, the sound of fighting was heard outside.
Zhu Lan sat quietly in the car, his expression had returned to calm the moment he entered the car.
Zhu Qingyan leaned against the window, gently opened the curtain a little, and glanced at the scene outside.
She observed for a while and said with certainty:
"Not in the same group."
Soon, she seemed to have seen something interesting and said happily:
"Your Master Wen is quite good at martial arts, but it's a pity that he is unarmed, while the other side has more people and they are armed with knives, and every move is fatal.
Tsk tsk tsk, I'm afraid he's going to get hurt!"
"Why don't you save people quickly?"
Zhu Qingyan looked at Zhu Lan with disdain and said in a mocking tone:
"Look how distressed I am to you...Okay, okay, I'll go save him."
