In her previous life, she joined King Yan three years later.
At that time, she was still an inconspicuous secret agent and was not qualified to appear in front of His Highness King Yan. The eighteen-year-old Shen You was already a celebrity around King Yan.
There is naturally a reason why Shen You is so favored by King Yan. I heard that His Highness King Yan was away from Beijing on business and met a group of skilled assassins. King Yan almost died in the hands of the assassins. It was Shen You who blocked the inevitable for King Yan. A killing sword.
Shen You was seriously injured and had to be nursed for half a year.
The King of Yan placed more emphasis on Shen You, and Shen You seemed to have stepped onto the blue sky, gaining the trust of the King of Yan and no one could match him.
Calculating the time, this incident should have happened two years later. At that time, the competition for the throne was at its most intense. I don’t know whether it was the King of Qin or the King of Zhao and the King of Han, who set up a deadlock against the King of Yan.
In this life, because of her rebirth, King Yan handled two major cases in succession. Especially the case of Langzhong Wu, which broke one of King Qin's arms. King Yan's reputation in the court increased greatly, and he also won the Holy Heart.
The flash of swords and shadows between the princes also started in advance.
It's a pity that she was in Prince Qin's palace and didn't have good news. She didn't know about it until Prince Yan left the capital. Now even if she wanted to send a message to warn, it was too late.
Furthermore, even if she can send news to King Yan, what can she say?
Do you mean to tell me, subordinate, that I know you will encounter an assassin and you must be careful?
Or tell Shen You not to block the sword for His Highness King Yan? When in danger, is it more important to protect your own life first?
"Miss," Ji Xiang saw that Feng Shaojun's face was unusually calm, and his voice became a little more cautious: "I heard that Prince Yan went to Pingjiang Mansion on errands."
Feng Shaojun hummed.
Mother Zheng thought for a while and then continued: "Fourth Young Master Shen also went to Pingjiang Mansion with His Royal Highness Prince Yan. If we find that the old lady and the cousin are both in Pingjiang Mansion, I am afraid that I will be suspicious of the young lady."
Feng Shaojun hummed again.
auspicious:"……"
Mother Zheng: "..."
Jixiang and Zheng's mother looked at each other. They were both close to the young lady and were with her day and night, but they could not figure out the young lady's thoughts.
Feng Shaojun was in no mood to speak, and Ji Xiang and Mama Zheng quickly stopped talking.
Half an hour later, Princess Qin sent someone to "invite" her. Feng Shaojun returned to his usual smile and went to see Princess Qin. His speech and behavior were as usual, and there was nothing unusual about her.
Princess Qin was a little upset.
I haven't received any news from Xu for almost half a month.
At first, Princess Qin didn't take it to heart. An ordinary merchant woman was guarded by more than a dozen guards, imprisoned in an ordinary passenger boat, floating back and forth on the river. Who could tell that something was wrong? It was inconvenient to deliver news. It is also inevitable.
But there has been no news for more than ten days, which is very wrong.
Could it be that something happened?
"My adoptive mother seems to be a little uneasy today," Feng Shaojun seemed to have noticed something, and smiled leisurely: "Could something have happened?"
Princess Qin calmed down her thoughts and said calmly: "I am very good, so I don't need you to worry about it."
Feng Shaojun sneered in his heart.
Bear with it a little longer.
She could endure it until her grandmother and cousin returned to Pingjiang Mansion safely, and it would not be too late for her to break up with Princess Qin again.
…
King Yan was ordered by the emperor to go to Pingjiang Mansion to investigate the case. He traveled so fast that he didn't even pass the river bank.
It was okay for the first two or three days, but after five days, some people couldn't hold it any longer.
Several officials accompanying the Ministry of Punishment often murmured privately: "I stay on the ship all day long and can't even get a bite of fresh food."
"Isn't that right? Some people go to Beijing on errands, and they eat and drink well. Some people are flattering, and some people give gold and silver to beauties. It's better for us, we didn't even see a mouthful of fresh and hot food."
"His Royal Highness, Prince Yan, is in an anxious mood and is on his way. He can also strive for a good reputation. But he has made a lot of trouble for us!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The Minister of Justice couldn't stand listening anymore and scolded him with a stern face: "Shut up! It's a good thing His Highness didn't take a boat with us. If these gossips got into His Highness's ears, would you still want to do the work?
Already?"
Several officials stopped talking.
His Royal Highness, King Yan, is good at everything, but he is a little too pure and self-sufficient.
They, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, must also follow Lian Ming. It is common for them to get some oil and water when handling major and important cases, but now everyone in the Ministry of Punishment is extremely cautious and does not dare to reach out.
The Minister of Punishment lowered his voice again and said: "His Royal Highness King Yan leads by example, and his daily meals are the same as ours. In this case, we have nothing to complain about."
"Everyone, be patient and endure it. We will arrive at Pingjiang Mansion in a few days. Pingjiang Mansion is famous for its wealth and prosperity. At that time, we can also relax a little while doing errands."
The Minister of Criminal Affairs said it implicitly, but the implication was very clear.
When you arrive at Pingjiang Mansion, as long as you run your errands, eat, drink and sleep, His Highness King Yan won't mind.
All the officials cheered up and responded.
It quickly became dark.
Three large ships were anchored not far from the pier.
This pier is not too big and can accommodate more than 30 ships. It just so happens that tonight, the pier is full of people. His Royal Highness, King Yan, did not want to make any noise and did not identify himself. The ships were parked farther away, which was particularly unusual.
Quiet.
Traveling on a boat is not much fun.
His Royal Highness King Yan was not idle either and kept reading the files along the way.
The guards who were guarding outside the cabin had also relaxed a lot due to the smooth journey over the past few days. At this time, His Royal Highness King Yan was reading files in the cabin, and the guards occasionally gathered together to chat for a few words.
Shen You still stood upright, his sharp black eyes scanning around from time to time.
Time slipped by little by little.
After midnight, night fell, covering the river in darkness. The sound of water flow mixed with the night wind, and the boats swayed slightly on the river.
King Yan has already settled down, and most of the guards have fallen asleep. Only the twenty or so guards on night duty still have their eyes open.
In order to protect the safety of His Highness King Yan, the bodyguards on night duty had to stay up all night.
It was better before the third watch, and everyone was in high spirits. After the third watch, the body's tiredness instinctively came up. Then at the fourth watch, someone yawned, and then one after another became sleepy.
It is absolutely impossible to sleep with your eyes closed. However, at this time, sleepiness will rise, your eyesight and hearing are far worse than usual, and your alertness is also not as good as usual.
Shen You remained calm and sober, his black eyes scanning from time to time.
Suddenly, Shen You's ears twitched slightly.
The sound of water flow seemed to be louder.
There were some strange noises from the bottom of the boat.
On the river, a night owl's call came from nowhere. Immediately afterwards, there was another sound. The water on the river surged quietly, and a black figure quietly appeared beside the boat.
Then, the second, the third...
These black shadows, like water ghosts, took advantage of the dark night to quietly emerge from the water. They did not reveal their traces until they reached the side of the boat.
Shen You's pupils suddenly shrank and he shouted sternly: "There is an assassin!"
