Shen Yuanbai was a cautious man. He wandered around the streets of the royal capital for a long time with Yinzhu and Qiao Bo, until he was sure that no one was following them, and then he returned to the courtyard where they stayed.

Yinzhu was in a state of anxiety all the way and couldn't calm down for a long time. She thought that Qiao Bo, who was following her, was one of his subordinates. As soon as she entered the yard, she couldn't wait to ask Qiao Bo to leave.

She had many, many questions to ask the young master, what exactly did the princess appear to her just now...

Thinking this, Yinzhu waved at Qiao Bo, but at this moment she glanced at Qiao Bo casually out of the corner of her eye, and she was so scared that she froze in place.

She opened her mouth slightly, and just as the word "Qiao" came out of her throat, Shen Yuanbai covered her mouth from behind.

"Yinzhu, he is here to help us."

Shen Yuanbai explained in a low voice, but this sentence made Yinzhu's eyes widen even more.

help?

If she was not mistaken, this person was the palace guard who followed Qiao Zhongguo when he was in Nanli. He was a member of the Qiao family!

Aren’t they and the Qiao family enemies?

Qiao Bo stood there without moving. Seeing Qiao Bo's calm appearance, Yinzhu finally came to her senses and nodded slightly.

No matter what the real story is, since the young master has brought the Qiao family here, he must have his reasons.

Shen Yuanbai loosened his hand upon seeing this and said gently, "Yinzhu, go down and rest first. Let someone take a look at your injuries."

Yinzhu nodded knowingly, glanced at Qiao Bo before leaving, and retreated with a heart full of doubts.

In fact, it's not just Yinzhu, even Qiao Bo is still a little confused.

It was obvious that the Qiao family and Shen Yuanbai had been fighting each other to the death before, but the situation has changed since the young lady and Shen Yuanbai had a face-to-face chat on the outskirts of Nanli capital last time.

Some time ago, the young lady even found him in person, gave him two talismans, and asked him to go on a trip with a serious look.

Naturally, he would be extremely happy to serve the young lady, and he would not be afraid of anything, no matter how hard it would take!

As a result, the young lady asked him to come to the capital of the Northern Kingdom, with the mission of helping Shen Yuanbai.

Qiao Bo: (??灬?? )Ah?

Then, he came.

At this time, only Shen Yuanbai and Qiao Bo were left in the yard. Shen Yuanbai thought for a moment, then tilted his head and said, "How about we go inside and have a chat?"

Qiao Bo knew that since the young lady dared to let him come to see Shen Yuanbai, she was sure that Shen Yuanbai would not harm him, so he walked in with confidence.

"The guest should follow the host's wishes."

Qiao Bo was even a little proud. After all, of the two talismans Jiaojiao gave him, one was for serious use, and the other was a rebound talisman specifically for saving his life.

Seeing that Qiao Bo was completely unguarded, Shen Yuanbai did not think that he was a careless person. On the contrary, judging from Qiao Bo's performance at the South City Gate just now, he was bold and careful, and could be of great use.

The two sat down in the house, and Shen Yuanbai thanked Qiao Bo straightforwardly without any hesitation.

He knew very well that if it weren't for Uncle Qiao today, Yinzhu's life or death would be in danger.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Bo hurriedly waved his hand. Shen Yuanbai treated people with courtesy. Although the situation was a bit strange, Qiao Bo still became polite.

"Master Shen, I am just following orders. It was my young lady who sent me here."

Shen Yuanbai naturally knew that this was Qiao Jiaojiao's work. He lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while, then suddenly asked:

"Did she - Miss Qiao give you a message?"

Qiao Bo nodded and said bluntly, "The young lady said that she knows that you, Mr. Shen, always have a plan in mind, but you may misjudge people's hearts."

Shen Yuanbai's body stiffened slightly when he heard this, but Qiao Bo didn't notice it and just continued to talk:

"I don't really understand it either. Anyway, the young lady said that when you mentioned the silver beads last time, you seemed to cherish them."

"So, Master Shen, you are likely to send Yinzhu away in the hope of getting him out of danger. However, Yinzhu has been hiding in Nanli for Princess Yuliu for more than ten years, which shows his friendship with her."

"So it is very likely that Yinzhu will come back, and even that you are willing to sacrifice yourself for Mr. Shen. In this case, Mr. Shen's plan may be disrupted."

"The young lady ordered me to come here. If I can make it in time, I will first remind Mr. Shen. If I can't make it in time, I will act according to the plan."

When Shen Yuanbai heard this, his expression became very complicated, and his right hand suddenly clenched the white talisman on his sleeve.

Just as Qiao Jiaojiao said, he thought he had planned every step carefully and had no omissions in his plan, but he had indeed misjudged people's hearts and Yinzhu's feelings for him.

He knew that Yinzhu was loyal, but he had never been wholeheartedly devoted to anyone, so he did not expect Yinzhu to do so much for him.

Even if Yinzhu doesn't come back, he will do his best to fulfill his mother's last wish. This is what he had promised Yinzhu a long time ago.

Yinzhu knew the situation clearly, but she still turned back without hesitation because she was worried about his safety and worried that he would be in danger, so she rushed up to the city wall without hesitation.

Qiao Jiaojiao even saw this step...

Could it be that day in the Ganzhou Canyon, he was so unguarded that Qiao Jiaojiao could see into his thoughts?

Shen Yuanbai couldn't describe his feelings at this moment. Even he had to admit that Qiao Jiaojiao knew him very well.

Qiao Bo noticed something strange about Shen Yuanbai at this moment, but seeing that Shen Yuanbai didn't speak, he continued:

"The young lady said that if the Northern Kingdom has already started a commotion, then it would be too late. She asked me to encourage the people to carry out Princess Yu Liu's golden body in time, and then hold the 'fraud' talisman in my hand and wait for the opportunity to act."

"The lady also said that Master Shen, you will definitely not ignore the silver bead. If you show up at that time, I will be told to keep calm and use the talisman on the tip of the knife, striving to 'kill with one blow'!"

When Shen Yuanbai heard this, he could even imagine the expression on Qiao Jiaojiao's face as she said these words seriously.

In fact, he had been secretly cautious just now, because the golden statue of his mother was carved impeccably and looked like it was carried out from the royal princess temple.

Ordinary people would probably not have the courage to touch the royal princess' temple without anyone's instigation.

He had always made all the plans on his own, so he never thought of having helpers. Therefore, the first person he suspected was King Jin Sun.

He guessed that King Jinshun wanted to play the "profitable game" trick, so he secretly instigated and encouraged.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuanbai couldn't help but look up at Qiao Bo again.

The situation was changing rapidly and was unpredictable, so the orders given by Qiao Jiaojiao were also vague, and everything depended on Qiao Bo himself to control it.

Just now at the South Gate, he had used words to force King Kim Yu to lose his composure on the spot. This was already a very good opportunity, but he had not yet forced King Kim Sun to come out and completely disrupt the Northern Kingdom's court and bring the fight for the throne to the surface.

An ordinary person would probably lose his patience at this time, but unexpectedly, Uncle Qiao was so courageous that he waited until the most critical moment.

He is indeed a capable person.

Seeing that Shen Yuanbai was still speechless, Qiao Bo said, "......"

After entering the room, he was the only one talking. It turns out that Shen Yuanbai is still a man of few words!

Well, the outcome here has been decided. After delivering the message, he must rush back to Wuding as soon as possible. After all, Wuding is about to usher in the most important moment!

"Mr. Shen, the young lady has one more thing to say."
