Ye Chutang looked at him frankly.
Well... I really can't tell him. It will be the same no matter how many times he asks.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yanchuan nodded as if he understood.
"The King of Qi is suspicious by nature. The palace is heavily guarded with numerous checkpoints. It is not easy to keep someone here to do things. It is natural for Second Miss Ye to be cautious."
Ye Chutang: “……???”
Did Shen Yanchuan misunderstand something?
From the sound of it, he actually thought that she had spies in Prince Qi's mansion?
...Why does this reason seem to be quite useful?
In this way, all her actions can be directly attributed to the non-existent "informant".
Ye Chutang didn't say anything, which Shen Yanchuan thought was his agreement.
Although I don’t know how Ye Chutang did it, it doesn’t seem out of place for her to do this.
She is a person who, as long as she wants, there seems to be nothing she can't do.
Chen Yanchuan always knew his limits and did not ask any more questions about these.
Ye Chutang also breathed a sigh of relief.
It was raining outside, so the cave seemed particularly quiet.
Ye Chutang raised his arm slightly, and the wound on his shoulder was pulled, causing another sharp pain.
She frowned slightly.
"Those people are really persistent. They still refuse to give up from Jiangling to the capital. There were at least five people who attacked today, right? They all went after you. If you were a little slower, I would think that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi is doing well. They say that he is a man of both civil and military talents. I can see today that he does have some skills."
Chen Yanchuan tilted his head to look.
Ye Chutang blinked: "What are you looking at me for?"
Chen Yanchuan said: "If you have anything you want to ask me in the future, just tell me directly."
Hearing this, Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly.
Chen Yanchuan looked at her, his deep black eyes clear and calm.
He said——
"These assassins today were indeed sent by Xiao Chengxuan."
…
The rain outside seemed to have subsided a little, and in the brief interval when the wind stopped, Shen Yanchuan's voice was particularly clear.
Ye Chutang was really surprised this time.
She just wanted to test and ask Shen Yanchuan who was the one who secretly tried to kill him.
I thought Shen Yanchuan wouldn't say anything, but who knew - he actually admitted it directly like this! ?
Seeing Ye Chutang's expression briefly stunned, and a rare look of confusion in his clear and dark eyes, Shen Yanchuan suddenly felt a lot happier.
He smiled and said, "Why, you don't believe it?"
Ye Chutang shook his head slowly.
"That's not the case, it's just...I thought you wouldn't tell me."
As soon as these words were uttered, it was equivalent to directly exposing the most fatal contradiction between him and Xiao Chengxuan.
Chen Yanchuan is a thorough and thoughtful person, and he would never tell others about this matter so easily.
Especially, it was someone like Ye Chutang who had nothing to do with him.
But he just told her so casually.
Shen Yanchuan nodded: “I also thought you wouldn’t ask.”
After all, she used to be most afraid of being involved in his affairs and always tried to avoid him.
Ye Chutang: “…”
Why does this sound so sarcastic?
In fact, she really didn't want to ask more questions, but after having that dream last time, she knew that she had to make this trip.
That dream was definitely related to her.
So she came today anyway.
This means that she has made up her mind to get involved, so naturally the more she knows, the better.
Ye Chutang sighed silently in his heart.
"So he deliberately did this today not to discuss anything with you, but to take the opportunity to attack you? If he can get rid of you, that would be the best. If not, at least he can clear up the past, right?"
Chen Yanchuan's eyes moved: "Did you hear it?"
"A little bit."
Shen Yanchuan didn't seem to mind and nodded: "He knew I wouldn't agree, so from the beginning, he had other purposes."
Ye Chutang felt that he had touched upon the crux of the matter.
"Agree to what?"
…
Lian Zhou led his men to come hurriedly. When he saw Yun Cheng, he frowned and asked, "Where is the master?"
Yun Cheng shook his head: "I haven't found it yet."
Lian Zhou looked around, pulled him aside, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Wasn't it all planned? How did it turn out like this?"
Yun Cheng comforted him, "Don't worry, the master will be fine."
Lian Zhou didn't believe it at all: "The situation in this mountain is so complicated, how can it be so easy to find someone? What if the master——"
Yun Cheng coughed and said something in a low voice.
Lian Zhou didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"
Yun Cheng had no choice but to repeat it again.
"The master and Miss Ye Er fell down together, and they should still be together now."
Lian Zhou's originally anxious expression froze for a moment, and then he spoke slowly.
"...Oh, that's fine."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Yun Cheng again, with three parts of contempt, three parts of admiration, and three parts of emotion.
"Tsk, it has to be you. Otherwise, how can you be the chief steward?"
Yun Cheng said modestly: "No. The rain is about to stop, we still have to find the master and Miss Ye Er as soon as possible. Oh, and those assassins——"
Lian Zhou raised his chin towards the back.
"Don't worry, I brought someone with me this time, and I will definitely clean it up."
…
Time passed slowly, and in the evening, the pilgrims trapped in the temple were finally released one after another.
There are guards strictly guarding the middle and foot of the mountain.
In addition to the people from the Dingbei Marquis Mansion and the Princess Chang Mansion, the Beijing Guards also dispatched elite troops, some of whom were responsible for guarding and some of whom began to search the mountain.
Fortunately, the rain finally stopped at this time.
Princess Qinyang's skirt was stained with mud, but she still insisted on following the team in the search.
She followed the path where Ye Chutang and Shen Yanchuan fell, took a detour from the side, and went down.
The hillside was steep and no one knew where the two people were now or whether they were safe.
Princess Qinyang kept walking while waving a whip to knock down the branches and leaves that were in the way.
Xiao Chengxuan was also here, but he also had wounds on his body, so he didn't go down.
Seeing the figure of Princess Qinyang gradually moving away, Xiao Chengxuan frowned and ordered: "Send more people to protect the princess."
"yes!"
The guards responded, and soon a team of people followed.
Someone behind him advised, "Your Highness, you are also injured. Why don't you go back and rest? With so many people here, we will be able to find the prince and Miss Ye Er soon."
Xiao Chengxuan waved his hand without even turning his head.
"I am waiting here, you don't have to persuade me anymore!"
As he spoke, he looked down at the bottom of the cliff, where the branches and leaves were so tangled that it was almost impossible to see the bottom. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
…
The sky gradually darkened.
Ye Chutang gradually felt a little cold, tired, and his eyelids became heavy.
Finally, she tilted her head and fell to the side.
Chen Yanchuan suddenly felt his shoulders sink.
