Chapter 187 Lure the snake out of its hole
With the secret tracking technique of the Burning Shadow Hall, it is rare to detect that one is being followed.
Mu Yejun performed the shadow jumping technique and followed the dancing woman in white through several streets and alleys, and came to a remote courtyard. The woman looked around and saw no one else, so she walked into the courtyard and closed the door with a sigh of relief.
Mu Yejun jumped onto the roof lightly and observed the movements in the yard.
Soon, there were footsteps in the house, and the woman's voice was heard: "Master, you are here. The message has been delivered as you ordered."
"Well done." A deep male voice sounded: "Next it depends on whether Shen Shen will take the bait." This voice was exactly the same as the black-clothed man who killed Mu Mian'er under Fei Daowei's nose a few days ago. The man was still hiding under the eaves, and Mu Yejun could not see his appearance from his angle.
As expected, this woman was the spy sent by this person.
"Master." The woman in white continued, "Should Rong'er go to meet the Second Miss Shen tomorrow?"
"Oh? Rong'er thinks he can stop Fei Daowei and Zhu Yanxiao?" The man's voice, half smiling, was heard, followed by a creaking sound from the chair being weighed down. It should be the sound made by the man leaning back in the chair.
The woman in white was speechless for a moment. She thought she had good kung fu, but she was not sure if she could fight against Prince Zhu and Fei Daowei who had eaten the imperial bell.
"Humph, if you don't capture Shen Shen tomorrow, Mu Mian'er will be your fate. Now she is accused of scratching Miss Zhou's face. There is really no evidence against her." The man seemed to sigh, and then chuckled, "Zhu Yanxiao... is really good at deceiving the emperor. This gives me many opportunities to slowly take action."
"Master, Miss Shen Er is accompanied by her master... Mu Yejun..." the woman in white named Mian'er said in fear and trepidation.
"Mu Yejun..." the man said sinisterly, "He will be dead soon. Rong'er won't fall in love with him, right?"
"I dare not!" the woman in white said hurriedly.
"It's better this way." The man said in a cold tone, "He is part of my plan, he must die."
When Mu Yejun heard this, he was shocked. Want his life? His eyes gradually turned blood red, and a crazy killing intent began to surge in his heart.
Just when he was hesitating whether to kill him directly, he heard the man say, "Women are superficial. Everyone likes a pretty appearance, Rong'er is one, Shen Shenshen is one too."
Mumaner didn't dare to say a word.
The man waved his hand impatiently: "Go down. The young master will make his own arrangements tomorrow."
"Yes." Rong'er stepped back.
Mu Yejun suppressed his inner demon's urge to kill, and told himself not to move, to see what this person would do tomorrow and how he would target Shen Shen. At the same time, he realized that the current situation was more dangerous than he thought, and he also had to think about how to protect Shen Shen tomorrow.
The man who was speaking looked at Rong'er's back as she walked away until she disappeared. Then he slowly half-leaned back in his chair, slowly closed his eyes, and looked up at the roof as if he was thinking about something. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a sly and complacent smile that was hardly noticeable.
After hearing no more noise, Mu Yejun quietly left the roof and returned to Heyinlou. On the way back, the bloodshot in his eyes gradually faded, and his temperament returned to his usual gentle and elegant self.
At this time, the grand opening ceremony of Heyinlou was drawing to a close, and Shen Shenshen was using all her skills to sell valuable jewelry to the ladies. In the eyes of Mu Yejun and Zhu Yanxiao, who knew her very well, on the surface, she was selling jewelry, but in fact, there was only one, no, it should be countless fox tails swaying behind her, which was the cunning appearance of a cashier.
Mu Yejun walked to her side calmly and whispered in Shen Shenshen's ear: "Shen Shen, I have just tracked the whereabouts of that woman in white. She is also a spy sent by others. We may be in trouble." After that, he told Shen Shenshen the general news he had just heard.
Shen Shenshen's eyes flashed with surprise. He turned to look at him and whispered, "Huai Bi, I will be careful tomorrow. But... this matter seems to be too smooth?"
"What do you mean by that, God?"
"Well... Huaibi, you know Kung Fu. Let me ask you first, if I'm talking to you here and someone suddenly jumps up to the second floor to eavesdrop, will you notice?"
Mu Yejun thought for a moment: "If the skill is very good, it will be difficult for this young master to detect it. Is Shenshen afraid that this is a trap?"
Shen Shen also tilted his head and thought about it, then said, "Do you think that tomorrow's situation is not to lure me out, but to lure you out, Huaibi? Huaibi followed her and overheard everything, and things went too smoothly."
"What the God said makes sense." Mu Yejun thought about it carefully and felt that it was too easy to find the person behind the scenes.
"The reason why this person wants to harm me is to threaten you, Huaibi, and lure the snake out of its hole. However, since the snake has been lured out today, wouldn't it be more convenient to catch it directly tomorrow?"
"Catching snakes..." Mu Yejun's eyes were sharp, "No matter what, we need to be careful tomorrow." Looking at Shen Shen, his eyes became very tender again: "Shen Shen, you are really great. This young master can't bear to let go."
"God, God."
At the same time, two different male voices came from behind the two of them, one cold and the other cheerful.
"Why does it take so long to talk to Second Young Master Mu?" Zhu. Jealous King. Yan Xiao looked at Shen Shen with great dissatisfaction.
"Shenshen, today I have opened my eyes. Would you like to have lunch together? I have a lot of questions to ask." Zhou. Fanboy. Still looking at Shenshen with undisguised admiration.
"No." Zhu Yanxiao and Mu Yejun refused at the same time.
Mr. Zhou Si had been suffering from lovesickness recently, but he suddenly came to his senses and thought that since he was already a bastard, it was impossible for him to marry the goddess, so he might as well give up and just see the goddess to relieve his lovesickness. So he completely ignored the two people who were much higher in status than him, and just looked at Shen Shen and said, "Shen Shen, how about it?"
Facing the murderous looks from the Crown Prince and Second Young Master Mu, Shen Shen didn't care and smiled, "Chang'an, why are you here for the grand opening ceremony today?"
"Mother is not feeling well, so she can't come to the banquet today. My eldest sister said she could come on my behalf. Because of what happened last time, my eldest sister said I am more familiar with you, so she asked me to come with you."
"Yunxi is here?" Shen Shenshen leaned over to look, and then he indeed saw a slim woman in the crowd with a thick hat on her head that covered her entire face.
"I'm coming. Oh, Shenshen, do you want to have dinner together?" Zhou Yiran didn't care about his sister at all and only cared about the beautiful woman opposite him.
Shen Shen was a little amused and said patiently, "Chang'an, the Heyin Building is open today, and the ladies and girls have not left yet. I want to wait here."
"No, Shenshen, this Heyinlou is a shop of Prince Zhong's mansion, what does it have to do with you? You are not a servant, so why are you working for them? It's time for lunch, shall we go to Zuiyuelou?"
Zhu Yanxiao, who had been well educated by aristocratic families since childhood, couldn't help himself at this moment. He blocked Zhou Yiran's gaze and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhou Si, Miss Shen has already refused."
"Why did Prince Zhu refuse on behalf of Shen Shen? Did Prince Zhu help my elder sister make all the decisions in the past? Otherwise, how about I go and ask my elder sister now?" Zhou Yiran looked fearless.
"Mr. Zhou Si, please be careful with your words." Zhu Yanxiao didn't want to argue with him in front of everyone, so he said indifferently.
"Prince Zhu, please don't interfere in other people's affairs."
Zhu Yanxiao's eyes moved around his face but he didn't say anything.
Mu Yejun had long been dissatisfied with the naked admiring look Zhou Yiran gave Shen Shenshen, and his uncontrollable anger broke out. He stared at Zhou Yiran and spat out a word viciously.
"roll."
"Second Master Mu, don't think that my Duke's Mansion..."
"Chang'an."
Shen Shen interrupted him and said with a smile: "Do you want to go and see if Yunxi has chosen the jewelry she likes?"
Zhou Yiran was staring at Mu Yejun with bloodshot eyes the previous second, but the next second he immediately regained his handsome expression and looked at Shen Shenshen affectionately.
"Shenshen, my elder sister is already old enough and doesn't need my care." After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Shenshen, why don't you pick out a piece of jewelry too? Changan will give it to you."
Before Mu Yejun could explode, Shen Shen immediately curved her eyebrows and said to the two men who were on the verge of a fight: "How about Huaibi and Chang'an both give me a piece of jewelry?"
