Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 212 Everything is under control

"Escaped?" Shen Shenshen was a little surprised.

Zhu Yanxiao nodded, and the two of them were silent in the garden.

At this time, Xie Wangan also walked into the courtyard of Xunyu Cottage and said to Zhu Yanxiao from a distance: "Ziyuan, how could you let Zhou Yiran escape?"

Zhu Yanxiao gave him a murderous look, "Weichuan means that this prince is wrong?"

"No, no, no, no." Xie Wang'an smiled awkwardly and sat down opposite the two of them in the pavilion. "I was just anxious at the moment. I definitely don't mean to blame the prince."

"There is no best." Zhu Yanxiao snorted in dissatisfaction.

Shen Shenshen said, "Did you two hear the conversation I had with Chang'an just now?"

"Yes." The Crown Prince replied reluctantly.

"I heard it, Shenshen. It seems that Zhou Yiran really likes you... ahem, I think he is a toad wanting to eat swan flesh, which is wishful thinking." Master Xie, who had no "spine" at all, immediately changed his words after seeing the look in Master Zhu's eyes.

Shen Shen ignored Xie Wangan and said, "You two adults, time is running out. We must find out what the Fourth Prince's actions are as soon as possible."

The two nodded, knowing full well that the situation was now extremely urgent and dangerous.

"Hmm... Ziyuan and Weichuan, Shenshen has a question. Do you think... that capturing Zhou Yiran this time was a little too easy?"

Zhu Yanxiao and Xie Wangan looked at each other after hearing this, and both saw appreciation for Shen Shenshen's acumen in each other's eyes. In the end, it was Zhu Yanxiao who spoke.

"God has discovered it too?"

"I feel that whether it is looking for him in Wuwei Taoist Temple, capturing him in the Taoist Temple, or knowing all the plans through him, it is too smooth, as if every step is carried out according to the ideas of the evil people. Am I too suspicious?"

"I share the same opinion as Ziyuan and Shenshen. The key is that Zhou Yiran is not only good at martial arts, but today, he has mastered all the secret techniques of the Burning Shadow Hall. Logically, he should be impossible to capture." Xie Wangan added, "Moreover, he could have escaped successfully while we were escorting him back to the capital."

Shen Shenshen frowned, "Although he said that he let himself be captured by you on purpose because he wanted to see me, I don't quite believe it. I feel that they must have some other conspiracy."

Zhu Yanxiao nodded solemnly: "So we must be careful and not let the Fourth Prince succeed."

"But, we know nothing about the Fourth Prince's plan now. Where should we start?" asked Shenshen Shen.

Zhu Yanxiao tapped the table with his index finger, thought for a moment and said, "We can start with the people around Zhou Yiran and investigate his recent whereabouts and the people he has come into contact with."

"Good idea!" A shrewd look flashed in Master Xie's eyes, "I will send someone to investigate immediately."

"It's getting late, Ziyuan. Shenshen will go back to the Marquis' Mansion first." Shen Shenshen stood up and saluted the two of them.

"Okay, I will send someone to protect you. I will be busy recently and won't be able to visit the gods often for the time being." Zhu Yanxiao was a little reluctant.

Shen Shen waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. After we get through this crisis safely, we will all enjoy endless wealth and glory."

Zhu Yanxiao knew her temper and didn't talk much, but Xie Wangan looked at her with some inquiry.

Because there were too many things going on and things were not peaceful recently, Shen Shenshen returned to the Marquis An's Mansion.

Zhu Yanxiao acted decisively and together with Xie Wangan, called together his trusted subordinates to discuss how to deal with the complex and difficult situation.

After careful consideration, Zhu Yanxiao locked onto several people who were familiar with Zhou Yiran, including Hu Jiaxiu, Qiao Shaoyu, and Zhu Chutang, whom Shen Shenshen had met. Fei Daowei sent different people to secretly watch the three of them for twelve hours every day, but the people from Fenyingtang were a bit tricky. If they used secret techniques, Fei Daowei might be discovered if they followed them.

At the same time, Xie Wangan was responsible for sending his trusted men to quietly and carefully investigate the Fourth Prince's entire plan, hoping to find some clues or loopholes.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

After Zhou Yiran jumped into the shadow of the pavilion in the courtyard of Xunyu Cottage in Prince Zhong's Mansion, he jumped out from the shadow of a three-courtyard house about an incense stick of time later. At this time, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked no different from Mu Yejun who looked a little crazy every time he performed his secret techniques.

Most of the houses in this three-story building are backlit, and the eaves have been artificially lengthened and widened. There is almost no sunlight in the yard, which looks cold and damp. Only a ray of light can be seen between the eaves, like a thin thread. The house is painted completely black, and the candlelight inside cannot be seen, giving people an extremely depressing feeling.

There was no one else in the house, it was quiet and strange. Zhou Yiran entered the main house and saw a handsome man wearing royal blue brocade clothes sitting in the main seat, looking down at him.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince De." Zhou resolutely stepped forward and knelt down.

The man in gorgeous clothes is the fourth prince Zhu Jizhan. Your Majesty has named him Prince De and has him temporarily living in Prince De's Palace in the imperial city. He has not been granted any fiefdom because of his title. This also shows that Prince De still has the possibility of vying for the throne of the crown prince and has a group of followers in the court.

"No need to be polite." The fourth prince raised his hand. "How is the work I asked you to do going?"

"In reply to Your Highness, I have already spread the false news to Prince Zhu and Junior Master Xie." He then recounted what had happened in the past few days.

The Fourth Prince listened and pondered, and finally couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha, Chang'an is not bad. This king who is infatuated with Second Miss Shen is almost believing it. Now they must be wondering whether the news is true or not, and whether it is fake. We can attack or defend. Not bad, not bad."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness." Zhou Yiran clasped his fists and saluted.

Prince De looked at Zhou Yiran with great appreciation, "Sure enough, I was right about you. Chang'an is a smart man. Mu Yejun is also very smart, but he has too many thoughts. If he is not restrained by me, I will not let him stay. How can a legitimate son understand the suffering of a concubine's son? Chang'an can empathize with me."

Zhou Yiran showed disdain on his face, "Legitimate? Humph, a legitimate son of a noble family can't even compete with a prince for his favorite woman. He is a waste."

Prince De looked at him with admiration, "I like Chang'an's ruthlessness. A man without ruthlessness is not a hero, and a person with a soft heart and soft hands can only be a loser. After the great cause is accomplished, I will give Miss Shen Er to Chang'an."

Zhou Yiran did not hide his excitement and bowed to the person in the main seat, "I thank your majesty for your grace."

"Hahahahaha, this is really funny. Very good, let's continue to confuse Zhu Yanxiao and Xie Wangan according to the plan. Remember, don't be careless, these two are extremely smart, and a little flaw will allow them to unravel our overall plan. Chang'an, we must not underestimate any opponent."

"I obey your orders. I will follow your instructions. Please rest assured that I will fulfill my mission."

The fourth prince stood up and patted Zhou Yiran on the shoulder to show his encouragement. He then put on a witchcraft mask and called the flying guards to escort him out of the small gate of the house. After Zhou Yiran respectfully sent the fourth prince away, he stared at the shadows in the yard, wondering what he was thinking.

That night, a Feidao guard came to the study of Xunyu Cottage to report to the prince, saying that he had discovered Hu Jiaxiu was secretly in contact with people from Feningtang.

Sure enough, everyone around Zhou Yiran has problems.

After Zhu Yanxiao and Xie Wang'an got the news, they decided to follow Hu Jiaxiu in person, hoping to find some clues through him and then understand the Fourth Prince's overall plan. Unexpectedly, not long after they started tracking, they felt that something was wrong - their whereabouts seemed to have been discovered by the other party. Then, the people from the Burning Shadow Hall suddenly appeared and attacked them.

Faced with this sudden change, the two of them thought to themselves: "Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!"

In an instant, the battle between Fei Daowei and Fen Yingtang was about to break out, and the scene was extremely fierce. Seeing that the situation was not good, a Fei Daowei immediately launched red fireworks.

Zhu Yanxiao and Xie Wangan were in an extremely dangerous situation. Especially Xie Wangan, because he didn't know any self-defense skills, he could only rely on the prince to protect him with all his strength, but his thigh was cut by the people from Fenyingtang in the dark, bleeding profusely, and the bright red had already stained the hem of his clothes.

The number of Flying Dao Guards who came out with the Prince today was relatively small, and two fists were no match for four hands. Zhu Yanxiao and his companions were defeated step by step. Just when the Flying Dao Guards were careless, a man from Fening Hall rushed towards Zhu Yanxiao with a dagger in his hand. The Prince wanted to protect Young Master Xie, and it was too late to resist. All the Flying Dao Guards cried out in surprise.

"Sir."

Then, the dagger was seen inserted into Zhu Yanxiao's heart.
