Kill me if you can (9)
Yun Sheng did not take Shen Tang seriously. His gradually clear eyes watched the white pigeon spread its wings and flew into the sky. He turned around and returned to the resting place that Shen Tang arranged for him. Jiang Mo was alert by nature. Perhaps he had vaguely sensed the danger. He did not care whether he would stay by his side. Instead, Yun Sheng had an illusion that his arrival had always been calculated by the other party. Even the things he usually investigated were what Jiang Mo wanted him to see.
Although Yun Sheng had his doubts in his heart, he was an experienced killer after all, so he would not expose his doubts. He wanted to kill the evil man who made medicine recklessly and killed people, and he would find him even if he escaped to the ends of the earth.
"Young Master, all the maids in the mansion will go shopping with the housekeeper tomorrow. I have asked someone to pick up your new clothes, and I think they will be delivered to the mansion soon." In order to prevent Yun Sheng from knowing his identity, Shen Tang had already told Lu Ya to call her Young Master even when she was in the house. The new clothes were specially made for her by her cheap father. Look how excited this girl is.
Shen Tang helplessly raised his fan and patted Lu Ya's head: "You, why are you making such a fuss? It's just a small matter. Why are you making such a fuss?"
Less than three days before the birth of the third prince's mother, the epidemic could not be solved at its source, so the only thing they could do was to stop the disease from spreading everywhere. The old owner of the Qianji Pavilion wanted Murong Jin to die, but she insisted on letting him live.
"Luya, I'm going to the bathhouse to wash up. You wait outside. After I finish washing up, I'll go to the medicine cabinet to take a look." As if she had thought of something, Shen Tang raised her lips in a good mood, took her bathing things and walked out from a side door in the house.
Except for the Jiang family, no one knew that her house had a side door leading to the open-air bath. How could Shen Tang, who died at the hands of Yun Sheng in the previous life, not know his methods? The other party was reluctant to take action, probably waiting for the right time. Most of the servants of the Jiang family would leave the mansion to go out to do business the next day. She always went to the bathhouse to bathe at regular intervals, and the servants knew her habit of not sending anyone to follow her. It would not be surprising if Yun Sheng wanted to take action.
It's a pity that she couldn't fulfill the other party's wish so quickly this time. After all, she still had things to do in this world.
Shen Tang walked along the side door towards the open-air bath outside. This place was clean and it used to be Mrs. Jiang's favorite bathing pool. However, ever since Mrs. Jiang passed away, the Jiang sisters did not want their father to be reminded of the past, so they came here less frequently.
The hot steam rolled in the bathtub. Shen Tang untied her long hair and let it slide down. Then she took off her outer clothes and put them aside. After slowly changing into her bathrobe, she walked barefoot into the bathtub. The warm water warmed Shen Tang's whole body and also unclogged her blood circulation. Jiang Jiutang's body was originally cold, so soaking in this bathtub was good for her body.
Thinking of this, she gently closed her eyes and leaned against the edge of the bathtub, letting her body relax in the hot water. Wrapped in layers of hot air, Shen Tang couldn't help but feel sleepy, and her snow-white skin turned slightly red under the hot water. She couldn't really fall asleep here, so she shook her head and walked slowly out of the bathtub. At the same time, a stone suddenly appeared in the air and rushed straight to Shen Tang's head. If Shen Tang hadn't slipped when stepping on the moss and fell back into the pool, she would have been hit by that trick.
"Who is it?"
Although Shen Tang regained her balance and looked around, the surroundings were filled with water vapor, blocking her vision, and she couldn't tell where the attack came from. She buttoned up her bathrobe and took careful steps, her wet black hair dripping with water, but Shen Tang's mind was full of thoughts about whether that person had come up to her.
"I'm warning you, if you don't come out, don't blame me for sending guards to arrest you!"
Her tone was calm, but after a while, no one appeared in her sight. Could it be that she was wrong?
Shen Tang straightened up slightly, the bath towel tightly fitting the girl's exquisite body curves, water drops kept falling, she took two steps towards the shore, and seeing that there was still no movement, she couldn't help but frowned slightly. Could it be that she really made a mistake?
“Squeak——”
Yun Sheng never expected that he would accidentally come to a bathing place of the Jiang family, and the person bathing there happened to be the person he had planned to assassinate the next day. Yun Sheng, who thought it was better to kill the next day than the next day, never expected that when he threw the stone at the person, he would accidentally see the exquisite curve in the misty water vapor.
This person is not Jiang Mo? The moment the doubt appeared in Yun Sheng's mind, he immediately withdrew his hand and hid in the corner, listening to the familiar voice of the person in the bathtub echoing in his ears.
The voice was clearly Jiang Mo's, but how could the figure he saw just now be...
Yun Sheng was distracted for a moment and naturally did not notice that the corner of his clothes got caught on the bushes, and as he moved, a loud noise was made.
The sound of the swiping immediately attracted Shen Tang's attention. She turned around and ran towards the corner where the sound came from. However, just as she reached the edge, a dark object emerged from the bushes. Shen Tang took a closer look and found that it was a cat.
"It's actually a cat?" Shen Tang suspiciously poked his head towards the bushes, but still couldn't find any clues.
Maybe she was insane after being assassinated by the male protagonist, Shen Tang muttered a few words, and no longer wanted to continue soaking in the pool. After drying herself and changing into dry clothes, she walked back to the house. Yun Sheng didn't jump down from the tree next to her until Shen Tang's figure completely disappeared from the original place.
What was going on with Jiang Mo? Did the old thief from the Medicine Pavilion use a trick to summon a woman to pretend to be his eldest son? Or was this son of the Jiang family a scam from the beginning?
Shen Tang was still feeling a little nervous after leaving the bathing pool. It would have been terrible if there really was someone by the bathing pool just now.
"Little lucky bag, little lucky bag? Can you help me check if there was anyone else in the bathing pool besides me?" Shen Tang muttered in his heart, while calling Lu Ya over, "Lu Ya, go get Yun Zhu, I want to see him now!"
Xiao Fukudai didn't reply, so Shen Tang changed back into men's clothes and sat in the house, playing with an emerald teacup in his hand, with a chill on his fair face. If Yun Sheng wasn't here at the moment, then it was most likely that he had just gone to the bath with her!
"Hello, Young Master. I wonder why you called me here?" The man in black calmly saluted towards Shen Tang, with the green belt still tied around his face. He seemed confused that Shen Tang would suddenly summon him.
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, put the tip of his tongue on his upper teeth, and walked around Yun Sheng leisurely, "Where did you go just now?"
"My Lord, I am taking care of your medicine garden. If you don't believe me, you can ask your maid."
Managing the herb garden? A killer managing the herb garden? She believed that this guy would sneak away to do something else and she didn't believe that this guy could honestly manage her herb garden.
Shen Tang chuckled and asked Lu Ya symbolically, "Lu Ya, is what he said true?"
"Young Master, Guard Yun saw that you did not go out and had nothing to do, so he was indeed taking care of the medicine garden for you." Lu Ya honestly explained what she saw when she passed by the medicine garden, but she had no idea how long Guard Yun stayed in the medicine garden.
Shen Tang looked up and down the man's body, but didn't see any scratches, so the doubt in his eyes dissipated a little.
"Well, I guess you, a blind man, can't do anything. Even if you really go there, you probably won't be able to see anything." Shen Tang's last words seemed to be to convince herself. No matter what, the male protagonist is still a blind man now. If he really went to the bathhouse, he shouldn't withdraw so hastily. In her opinion, Yun Sheng has always been a person who will not give up until he achieves his goal. If he really has the intention to kill her, he will never let her go back.
"Okay, you can leave now," Shen Tang gently waved his hand to signal Yun Sheng to leave, but the other party stood there for a long time.
"What? Do you have something else to do?" The young man raised his eyebrows and looked at the person in front of him. Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly bent down, passed his arm over her fur coat, reached around her waist and took down a leaf. The suddenly shortened distance made Shen Tang's face slightly red. He pushed the person away in anger and said, "You arrogant guy!"
Yun Sheng innocently raised the leaf between his fingertips and said, "I just took a leaf for you, how can I be so arrogant? Besides, you didn't seem so embarrassed when you touched me."
Shen Tang was so angry at Yun Sheng that he was speechless. He could only glare at him and said, "From today on, you stay two steps away from me and don't cross the line!"
The man's expression was gentle, and he nodded calmly, "Of course, no problem. But if you want to leave the house, take this with you, and I will come as soon as I hear you."
Yun Sheng handed a palm-sized whistle to Shen Tang, and said softly, "Young Master, please keep it with you. Otherwise, if anything happens, I will not be held responsible."
Although the opponent was blind, Shen Tang felt a sense of pressure. This murderer knew that she would not accept the call, so he used his power to pressure her! Okay, then she accepted the whistle. She wanted to see how this guy was going to kill her.
She was able to survive under Yun Sheng’s hands in the past, so she can certainly survive now. I’ll beat her to death if I dare!
Shen Tang snorted heavily and held the whistle in his palm. "Okay, I'll take it. Why don't you leave now!"
Yun Sheng saw that she accepted the whistle, and then she was willing to leave. Shen Tang felt a little relieved, and while drying her hair, she told Lu Ya to prepare the car, and she had to go to the pharmacy to see the situation of the medicine making.
However, perhaps due to the influence of the bug in the quick-travel game, some things happened earlier than the plot.
As soon as Shen Tang arrived outside the pharmacy, he received a call from the Third Prince's men.
"Mr. Jiang, a disease suddenly appeared in the south of the city this morning, and has now spread to the west of the city. The Third Prince specially invites you to a gathering."
Shen Tang glanced in the direction of the pharmacy. He didn't expect that the spread of the epidemic this time had been advanced. The Third Prince might have sent people here just for this matter.
"Luya, go tell Dad about the epidemic, he will know what to do." Shen Tang patted the head of the little maid beside him, "Remember to be careful."
"Don't worry, sir, but what about you?"
"I have something important to discuss with His Royal Highness the Third Prince," Shen Tang said calmly, and turned around and followed Murong Jin's personal guard. If the antidote for the disease is not passed on, the entire capital will be in danger. In addition, the disease is highly contagious. If the old owner of Qianji Pavilion takes action, he will naturally not only place the source of infection in the capital. I am afraid that other territories will also encounter the disease at this moment.
Shen Tang's brows furrowed as he quickly followed the guards into the carriage parked at the street corner.
