Shen Yun's gaze was like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, piercing Commander Zhou's heart and making him a little flustered. He had heard of Shen Yun's reputation on the battlefield; he was the God of War of the Great Qi and was now highly regarded by His Majesty. If he offended Shen Yun, it would probably be detrimental to him as well.
But when he thought about how he had the Crown Prince behind him, he figured that once the Crown Prince ascended the throne, Shen Yun would probably be discarded like a used tool.
How could the Crown Prince tolerate a treacherous general by his side? Shen Yun was going to die sooner or later anyway, so let him be arrogant for a while.
Commander Zhou thought to himself with disdain that he was just a simple-minded, muscle-bound fool who was not worth fearing at all.
He turned to look at Shen Yun, then chuckled, “General Shen, your wife is naturally worthy of respect. Since your wife says there are no thieves inside, I will search another location.”
Commander Zhou did not break ties with Shen Yun. He bowed to Shen Yun and then prepared to leave with his men.
Shen Yun smiled smugly, believing that Commander Zhou was also afraid of his power, and his sense of superiority arose again.
He is now a guest of honor in the State of Chu, and the State of Chu still needs to rely on him to take down the State of Qi. Not to mention a mere commander of the Imperial Guard, even the emperor himself has to give him some face.
Shen Yun was secretly pleased with himself. He watched as Commander Zhou's men walked further and further away, then turned around and knocked on the door, gently soothingly saying, "Ayin, did I scare you? Can I come in and see you?"
Shen Yun wanted to proceed gradually and treat Ning Yin with courtesy, which meant that he had to ask Ning Yin's opinion on everything.
Ning Yin, who was inside, realized that the group of people had left. While she breathed a sigh of relief, she also began to worry that Shen Yun might suddenly push the door open and enter.
Seeing that Ning Yin did not respond immediately, Shen Yun moved his hand on the doorknob, feeling an inexplicable urge to go in and take a look.
Today, thieves broke into the palace. He was worried about Ningyin's safety and went in to check on her before he felt at ease.
If the thief hides well and escapes everyone's notice, then Ning Yin will be in danger.
Thinking about it, Shen Yun pushed the doorknob as if possessed, but the door was locked from the inside and could not be opened from the outside.
He was about to speak again when he heard the woman inside say impatiently, "I told you, I'm asleep. I don't want to get up now, I'm very sleepy..."
Although Shen Yun lacked Xiao Xuan's strategic acumen, he had still risen to the position of a general in a country. Ning Yin's voice didn't sound like she was asleep at all.
His sharp eyes quickly scanned the Jade Pavilion, his gaze landing on the windowsill. The window was ajar, but the dirt on the windowsill was clearly visible.
His heart clenched immediately, realizing that Ning Yin was very likely being held hostage by thieves.
