Pei Mianman couldn't help but said: "Yunzhong County is more than ten thousand miles away from the capital. It is definitely much more difficult to go there to report the news than to contact Madam Yu and Gong Pan in Yunzhong County, so the second scenario is more likely. ."
How could Zu An not know that this was the case, especially now that Gong Pan was not on good terms with anyone, but he followed Yu Yanluo wholeheartedly.
Yu Yanluo's smiling face appeared in my mind, and I wondered if it is true that the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at deceiving others.
When Shen Zhou came to the capital to report the news, the information revealed by his remnant soul after being silenced clearly stated that Jian Taiding had done something to Duke Yunzhong, but he did not dare to contact Yu Yanluo or Gong Pan. Could it be that these two people were also related to Jian Taiding? Are they in a group?
"Hmph, looking at you like this, you are obviously thinking about women," Pei Mianman snorted, "Why, when I see that jade smoke is so beautiful, I can't let it go?"
Zu An came back to his senses, hugged her and smiled: "No matter how beautiful she is, she is still someone else's wife. How can she compare to you in my heart."
"Glib tongue~" Although he knew that the other party was deliberately trying to coax him, Pei Mianman couldn't help but feel happy, "Now the clue has been broken again. Unfortunately, we didn't find anything at Shen Zhou's house. We thought he would leave it behind What traces are there?"
"It's not without gain. At least I found out Shen Zhou's identity, knew who was suspected, and got an entry point into what will happen next," Zu An said in a deep voice, "And I just chatted with his wife and learned about Shen Zhou's temper. He is taciturn, and with such a character, he is definitely not the kind of impulsive person. He must know that he will escape death in Beijing, so he will definitely be prepared and leave any clues through secret methods."
"But my sister-in-law just said that the things have been searched by Gong Pan and others." Pei Mianman frowned.
Zu An shook his head: "Since the other party has made two preparations, he will definitely think that someone will come to collect his things after something happens to him. Most of the items collected by Gong Pan are of no use."
"But we also searched his room just now, and we didn't find anything." Pei Mianman recalled the situation just now, and he really couldn't connect the most ordinary things with clues.
Even after asking his sister-in-law and Huzi, Shen Zhou didn't say anything to them before leaving. Both of them had analyzed the specific content of what he said, and it didn't seem like there was any hint.
"That's the problem." Zu An felt a headache, rubbed his temples and said, "Now we can only check the relics that Gong Pan took back, and then inquire about Shen Zhou's interpersonal relationships during his lifetime."
I just asked his wife. Unfortunately, she is a typical housewife who only does housework and works hard. She doesn’t know much about Shen Zhou’s work. Moreover, due to his special position, Shen Zhou rarely discloses his work to his family. things on.
"You have to be careful. Shen Zhou has been silenced. If you really find out anything, I'm worried that the people behind it won't let you go." Pei Mianman held his arm with a worried look on his face.
Zu An laughed: "Don't worry, no matter how dangerous this place is, can it be more dangerous than the secret realms like Yin Ruins? No matter how powerful the people behind it are, can they be more powerful than the emperor? What's more, my cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds now..."
"Look how proud you are," Pei Mianman thought of what happened before and felt a little relieved, "By the way, you haven't even told me what happened after we separated."
"It's freezing here, why don't we find an inn to hold a candle and talk at night?" Zu An looked around and saw that Yunzhong County was very prosperous, with merchants from the northwest gathering there, so even in the suburbs, there were many inns.
Pei Mianman's face turned red, and she naturally knew what he was planning. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly raised her head and glanced at the sky, and her face changed slightly: "Oh no, it's getting dark soon."
"Well, the city gate is probably closing soon." Zu An suddenly felt that this scene was a bit familiar. Didn't those college students in the previous life often like to do this kind of thing? They would ask their girlfriends to go out to play, deliberately stay late, and then go to the school dormitory.
After closing the door and not being able to go back, I can justifiably find a hotel to stay outside.
"No, I have to go back." Pei Mianman suddenly became anxious.
Zu An was stunned: "I'm afraid it's too late now, right? Weren't you very carefree outside before?"
It's still some distance from the city gate, and the city gate will definitely be closed by the time we get there.
Pei Mianman bit his lips: "It was in the past, but now my home is here. If I stay up all night, there may be some unpleasant words coming out of my stepmother's mouth. I don't care, but I am worried about damaging my mother's reputation.
"
Zu An understood immediately. If all the rumors really spread, and he raised a daughter who was a licentious woman, his mother-in-law would also be blamed.
"Don't worry, I'll just take you back." Zu An got on his horse, no longer caring about enjoying himself, he held her in his arms and galloped away towards the city gate.
Finally, he stopped at an inn outside the city gate and handed the horse over to the innkeeper to take care of him.
Facing Pei Mianman's puzzled eyes, he explained: "The city gate must be closed now. We will climb over the wall to get in later, and this horse will definitely not be able to get in. It's freezing cold now, if we stay here
Outside, it will probably freeze to death."
Pei Mianman looked back at the horse. Although it was considered a sacred horse, it was still far from a real thousand-mile horse. It was just a standard official horse assigned by the local officialdom to the imperial envoy.
She sighed faintly: "Although others say all kinds of bad things about you, only I know how gentle and kind you are in your heart."
Zu An laughed: "I was given a good guy card by that aunt just now, and now you come again? I'm not as good as you think."
"I don't care, in my heart, you are the best person." Pei Mianman took his arm and nestled happily on his shoulder.
The men in the inn were all staring. When had they ever seen such a beautiful woman?
Especially those two lumps, tsk tsk tsk, the man's arm almost got stuck in them.
Although it was freezing cold, everyone felt excited when they saw this scene.
Yunzhong County is located in the northwest, and there are frequent monster attacks. The folk customs are very fierce, and there are also many ruthless bandits who lick blood with their swords. Many people in the inn have their own thoughts.
The brave one swallowed his saliva and walked towards the two of them.
Zu An frowned, but at this moment Pei Mianman raised his finger, and a black flame went directly to the back, and the hats on the heads of those people instantly ignited.
A group of people yelled and hurriedly threw their hats on the ground. Even so, most of their hair was burned.
"Giggle~" Pei Mianman's charming laughter came from the front.
"It's rare to see you show mercy." Zu An was a little surprised.
"Hmph, am I such a cruel person in your mind?" Pei Mianman said angrily, "I am in a happy mood today and don't want to see blood."
But she still had an idea that she didn't say out loud. She heard Zu An mention before that the children they gave birth to would definitely be cuter, and she subconsciously wanted to avoid bloodshed, so as not to damage the silver.
The two people gradually disappeared into the wind and snow, but the men in the inn felt as if they were lost. At that moment, they naturally knew that these two people were definitely not someone they could afford to offend.
But they would probably never forget that woman's charming look.
Who is that man? He’s so damn lucky!
Seeing the series of anger points received backstage, Zu An couldn't help but laugh. His previous idea of taking a beautiful confidante shopping to earn anger points was indeed feasible.
The two of them were not disturbed by this incident and soon arrived outside the city tower.
It was getting late, and the city gate was indeed closed.
But this couldn't stop Zu An. He found a secret place, hugged Pei Mianman and flew up the city wall.
"Azu, be careful. There are patrols everywhere on the city wall after nightfall. Once the alarm is triggered, it will be troublesome." In a big city like Yunzhong County, once the city defense is triggered, not to mention them, even the grandmaster will have a headache.
"It doesn't matter, I've found a cat to lure the sentinel away." As they spoke, the two of them had successfully leaped into the city.
Sure enough, as the two of them landed, several soldiers from the other side of the city wall came back cursing.
Pei Mianman looked strange: "It must be the ability of the jade cong. Tsk tsk, this thing is really a good thing for stealing fragrance and jade."
Zu An coughed in embarrassment: "Am I that kind of person? I've only come to steal from you from beginning to end."
As expected, the flames of war caught up with him, and Pei Mianman diverted his attention: "Bah, we are in love, why would stealing be so unpleasant?"
The two of them flirted and flirted all the way, and soon returned to his boudoir in Pei Mansion. Pei Mianman blushed and took his hand: "Don't leave yet, I'm going to show my face first, and I'll be back later."
Looking for you."
"Don't I still want to tell you what happened after we separated? I didn't plan to leave at first." Zu An looked at her with a smile.
Pei Mianman's heart skipped a beat, he stood up on tiptoes and kissed him on the face, then trotted away.
Zu An wandered around her boudoir, which was where Da Manman grew up.
I couldn't help but smile when I saw some childhood toys, and the appearance of a little girl with pink makeup and beautiful clothes appeared in my mind.
He had seen what the Lolita version of Pei Mianman looked like in the Yin Shang Secret Realm.
While he was lost in thought, his expression suddenly changed, his figure flashed, and he suddenly grabbed him to the side.
