Chapter 153 Xiaosheng
Chapter 153 Xiaosheng
In the past few days, everyone in the capital has seen another good show. If it weren't for the need to arrange Yu Tinglin's wedding, Yu Huaiyi would not have wanted to leave the house at all.
Now, on the way to court, vendors would look at him and whisper to him with what they thought were obscure eyes, as if they wanted to stab him to death!
Because of this, the entire Shangshu Mansion has been dead silent these past few days, and the servants are trembling with fear in doing things, for fear of displeasing their master.
That night, Yu Tingwan and Shen Chenli arrived outside the Shangshu Mansion together.
After several inquiries into the Shangshu Mansion, Yu Tingwan was very familiar with the process. She turned her head and looked at Shen Chenli, who was standing next to her in black, with surprise in her eyes.
"what happened?"
Shen Chenli was waiting for Yu Tingwan to take action, but he found that the little guy was just staring at him without moving.
"Nothing, you really don't want to cover your face?"
Looking at this handsome face, what's the difference between this and telling others that you are Prince Chen? What's more, this face will attract attention even if it is covered with a sack. It seems to shine in the night, making it even more obvious, right?
Shen Chenli was quite helpless. He took out two black face towels from his sleeves and handed one to Yu Tingwan.
"So I'm ready. Also," Shen Chenli looked at the clothes she was wearing, "What material is your clothes made of? It feels quite novel."
Whenever she went out at night or practiced martial arts, I saw her wearing this outfit. It looked very convenient, but it showed off her figure too much. There was also something made of unknown material in the middle, and it seemed that it could be opened.
Yu Tingwan looked at the sportswear she often wore. It was really convenient.
"This is called sportswear. It's more suitable for sports. As the name suggests, it's suitable for large-scale exercise, just like a training suit. This way, your hands and feet are flexible and it's convenient for you to do anything."
"It looks more convenient, but I'd better not wear it when there are many people around."
Shen Chenli was actually more curious about the material of the clothes, but seeing that she had no intention of saying anything, he did not ask any more questions. Everyone has secrets, and there was no need for him to dig deep.
Looking at his expression, she knew what he meant. Yu Tingwan shrugged, covered her face with a scarf, raised her chin at him, and took the lead in using Qinggong to fly to the eaves.
Shen Chenli looked at the figure flying away, shook his head helplessly, and quickly followed.
When she reached the roof, Yu Tingwan watched Shen Chenli out of the corner of her eye. After all, this was the first time she saw Shen Chenli stand up and use Qinggong. Yu Tingwan had some ideas in her mind about his martial arts skills.
But when he saw a figure flash in his peripheral vision and then disappeared from the spot, he was surprised that his lightness skill was so powerful!
The next moment, a pair of arms wrapped around my waist. If I hadn't had enough self-control, I would have screamed out in fright.
"How good are your martial arts skills?"
"Will you try next time?"
Yu Tingwan narrowed his eyes and slapped him. He knew something from the smile in his eyes and snorted coldly:
"Just try it."
The Shangshu Mansion is different from the Wang Palace. The staff are there, and only a few servants are on night guard and patrol.
The two of them jumped to the study of the Shangshu Mansion, but they didn't expect that there was someone else inside!
Seeing the flickering candlelight in the house, but no human figure was reflected on the window paper, there was probably no one inside.
"Go and see."
I lifted a tile and found there was indeed no one inside. It was obvious where they had gone.
Yu Tingwan pointed to the door behind the desk and mouthed to Shen Chenli: Secret room!
Looking at the direction of her finger, Shen Chenli nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
But obviously they couldn't go in at this time, so they could only wait.
Then the two of them sat down on a nearby tree branch and waited for Yu Huaiyi to come out.
About half an hour later, just as Yu Tingwan was gradually losing his patience, a figure suddenly appeared on the window lattice of the study, and then the candlelight went out.
After a while, Yu Huaiyi walked out of the study, looking like he was in a bad mood?
"go!"
The two entered the study, which was no different from the one Yu Tingwan had entered before. Without any further delay, Yu Tingwan directly opened the secret room and prepared to enter.
Someone suddenly grabbed her wrist. Yu Tingwan turned around in confusion. Shen Chenli said nothing, pulled the person behind him, and walked in first.
Yu Tingwan was stunned for a moment, looked at the figure that had already walked in, pursed her thin lips and curled up a smile.
This feels pretty good!
"There's no one inside."
Yu Tingwan nodded, "It's no different from the last time I came."
"But if it was just a secret room for rest, why would Yu Huaiyi value this study so much?"
Yu Tingwan looked at this place and always felt that there must be some use for this place.
After looking around, the two of them didn't find anything special, so Yu Tingwan took out a book and handed it to Shen Chenli.
"Hey, this is where I took out a copy of Dasheng Travels translated into Dongqi characters."
Shen Chenli took the book and flipped through two pages, then looked at other books, all of which were written in Dongqi language.
"If Yu Huaiyi has any connection with Dongqi, then we cannot rule out the possibility that someone from Dongqi was involved in my mother's affairs."
From Dongqi?
'I saw the master taking a man in a cloak to the lady's courtyard in the evening.'
There was a sharp light in Yu Tingwan's eyes, so that person was from Dongqi?
"what happened?"
Clearly sensing Yu Tingwan's mood change, Shen Chenli asked.
There was no need to hide anything at this time, so Yu Tingwan told Shen Chenli what Yunniang had said to her.
Smart people know how to make the connection, and Yu Tingwan naturally guessed what Shen Chenli was.
"If that's the case, this person's status in Dongqi must be quite high, and he must be very skilled in martial arts. In that case, if he was brought to see my mother, I'm afraid he was already prepared to make her disappear. But why he stayed there for so many years, I still can't guess."
There was no clue at all. The longer his mother stayed in their hands, the more dangerous it would be. Yu Tingwan couldn't help but rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
"Is there no such thing as a know-it-all?"
"Bai Xiaosheng?"
Shen Chenli lowered his eyes and thought, "There are several major forces in the martial arts world. In addition to the Ming Pavilion I told you about before, there is an organization called Dark Tower, where intelligence can be bought and sold. Perhaps we can go there to look for information."
"Dark building?" It doesn't sound like a good place!
"Intelligence gathering?"
Shen Chenli nodded, "They basically know about some of the movements of neighboring countries, they just need money to buy them."
"I'm not short of money!" Yu Tingwan looked at this place unwillingly, "Is there really no other way out?"
Shen Chenli frowned, "Most people's secret rooms are not built very big. This one is already very big. If there are other places, they need mechanisms, but we have searched all these walls and books and still can't find where the mechanism button is? Now we haven't searched the wall at the entrance and..."
The two of them glanced at each other quickly, and at the same time looked towards the soft couch in the secret room!
