"Xiaoman, give me the crossbow!" Shen Huaixu's voice became deeper.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the three people beside him suddenly changed.
Cui Liuniang asked with a pale face, "What happened?"
"Mingyi, did you see anything?" Chaohua asked anxiously.
Carrying weapons with her has become Xiaoman's habit, but she didn't expect that the young lady wanted a crossbow at this time. After a moment of hesitation, she immediately took action.
Handing the crossbow to Shen Huaixu, she quickly said, "Miss, if there is anything wrong, just tell this servant to do it."
Taking the small crossbow, Shen Huaixu made a prompt decision, his eyes still paying attention to the light reflected from above, "Sister Yi, please take Chaohua and the others and hide first..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she noticed the movement on the opposite side, raised her crossbow, and shot an arrow into the void. Two arrows from different directions simultaneously pierced the void and met in the air. Sparks seemed to fly when the arrows collided.
Yi Xi didn't ask any questions and immediately pulled Chao Hua and Cui Liuniang towards the door of the private room.
Chaohua struggled not to leave, "Let's go, Shen Huaixu..."
"Princess, if you stay here, the county lady will have to pay attention to protect you, which will only cause more trouble."
Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Yi Qian was right. Chao Hua puffed up his cheeks and followed reluctantly.
After blocking an arrow, the cheering people and soldiers downstairs also noticed the incident. Screams rang out one after another, and many people scattered and tried to escape.
Qi Zhan's eyes shot towards Shen Huaixu very sharply, and when he saw that she was just a young girl, his expression was shocked, and then became strange.
The arrow was just a reminder. Shen Huaixu had no intention of solving the subsequent matters for General Qi, so he just nodded at him.
After taking one last look at Shen Huaixu, Qi Zhan withdrew his gaze. He had adapted well to the sudden change. Seeing that the army behind him was also in a state of turmoil, he immediately shouted, "All soldiers, obey my orders, protect the people, and capture the thieves alive. You will be rewarded according to your merits later!"
After he finished speaking, he realized that Fu Yin, who had been following him, had gone somewhere. He asked in a deep voice, "Where is Fu Yin?"
The guards on the left side immediately replied, "General, help the centurion to the roof."
Qi Zhan:...
This bastard disappeared without a trace!
At this time, Fu Yin, who was on the roof, released his mental power to suppress the assassin.
The man covered the lower half of his face with a piece of cloth. His mind was suddenly in a state of confusion, and he froze in place as he was about to jump off the roof. After a moment of trance, his whole body rolled down.
Fu Yin, who was walking on the roof as if it were flat ground, just looked at this with a cold expression, withdrew some of his scattered mental power, stopped and did not move forward.
At the critical moment, the masked thief stretched out a hand to climb up the eaves, and used his last strength to sprinkle powder with a strange fragrance towards Fu Yin who was walking towards him.
When he smelled the familiar fragrance, Fu Yin was startled for a moment, quickly held his breath and raised his cloak behind him to cover himself, but unfortunately the powder still affected him.
The moment his eyes turned dark green, he took a last look at the teahouse across the roof and disappeared over the roof.
The masked man hanging in the air was terrified when he saw this scene. The strength in his hands disappeared as the man disappeared. He shouted in fear: "Monster! Monster..."
Before he could finish his last words, he fell from the three-story roof to the ground with a dull thud.
Shen Huaixu's gaze followed the masked man's fall, and finally stopped at the face with wide-open eyes lying on the ground and the blood spreading beneath him.
There was a lot of noise all around, but Shen Huaixu heard the last words of the dead man. He was worried that something had happened to Fu Yin and couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
She held onto the window frame and looked out, but she didn't see Fu Yin coming down from the roof. She was about to call Xiao Man to check on the situation when she heard a familiar low voice - "Chen Huaixu, my mental strength is unstable."
Shen Huaixu's face darkened, he closed the window, and said to Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, you go down first."
Xiaoman bowed and walked out.
[What just happened?] Shen Huaixu asked.
Fu Yin gasped softly, his long wings piercing through his clothes, unwillingly exposed, sweat dripping down his forehead. Despite trying his best to restrain himself, his mental power still rushed out of his body uncontrollably, causing a throbbing and swollen pain in his temples.
He tried his best to keep his mind clear and replied, "That man has no accomplices. He carries a kind of pollen that is only found in my hometown. Fei Yuan will experience a mental turmoil if he inhales even a small amount. He must have been sent by Qiao Man."
Quickly reviewing what had just happened in his mind, Chen Huaixu immediately realized that the arrow he shot might not be intended to kill anyone. The person who was arrested, whether it was Fu Yin or not, could be smelled by Fu Yin as long as he had pollen on his body.
Perhaps it was because Fu Yin was too cautious and could not be approached easily, so Qiao Man resorted to this bad idea. There were too many people in such an occasion, and Fu Yin's mental strength could not play a big role.
It is indeed a bit risky. If it succeeds and Fu Yin falls into a mental riot, it can be said to be a devastating blow to the capital.
Chen Huaixu clenched his fingers into a fist and then quickly released it. "You stabilize your mental strength first. I'll handle Qi Zhan."
The other party's comfort greatly relieved Fu Yin's anxiety. He half-knelt on the ground, raised his head slightly, revealing his white and smooth neck drenched in sweat. He sighed heavily, spread his wings, wrapped himself in them, and fell into a deep sleep. After that, his body hung in the air unconsciously, like a god born from another world.
