The next day, early in the morning, news came that Princess Qinghe would stay in Pingliang for a few days to deal with the robbery and murder incident, and then change to the waterway to Beijing.
Naturally, a group of people from the Shen Mansion had no choice but to stay.
When Ban Xia opened the door and came in, Shen Xingwan had just gotten up and finished his breakfast.
"It was sent from over there on the door, name it to Miss." Ban Xia handed a letter to Shen Xingwan.
Shen Xingwan guessed it, and it read, "Bring some good wine, I owe you a favor, see you at Hanshan Temple."
Luo style is Zhou Meidai.
As Shen Xingwan put down the letter, Zhou Meidai's unrivaled figure flashed in his mind.
When they first met, they once said that if they had the chance, they would listen to Zhou Meidai's story.
"Qinghong, bring out a bottle of wine I brought." Shen Xingwan ordered.
He also asked Banxia to find out how to get to Hanshan Temple.
After having lunch, I greeted the old lady and set off with the others in a low-key manner.
Yan Ling has been waiting since the morning for Shen Xing to come home to apologize to him in the evening.
After waiting for a long time, no one was there.
"Are you letting me off the hook?" Yan Ling played with the fan in her hand and asked her subordinates beside her, "Go and see what Miss Shen is doing."
She quickly took it back and reported back, "Miss Shen took someone out in the afternoon."
Yan Ling crushed the cup in his hand hard, and the hot tea flowed out. He didn't seem to feel the heat, "It's because he didn't remember that I existed at all."
"It's quite temperamental and interesting."
…
Although Hanshan Temple is not a very famous temple, it can be regarded as a thousand-year-old temple.
Hidden deep in the mountains, just looking up makes people feel peaceful.
Shen Xingwan led people up the mountain from the side path.
There was a nun sweeping the floor outside the gate, and Shen Xingwan walked over to say hello, "Excuse me, Master Tai, if there is a lady named Zhou Meidai in the temple who is practicing meditation here."
The master clasped his hands together and said, "Donor, please come with me."
The back mountain of Hanshan Temple is very large, and many female relatives of high-ranking nobles often stay here, so there are many courtyards scattered in the mountain.
Shen Xingwan and his group followed Master Tai quietly, walking in the mountains where every plant and plant seemed to have a Zen feel.
After walking for a while, Master Tai stopped and pointed to a big tree and said, "The person the donor is looking for is right there. Go on your own."
Shen Xing looked up and saw three small wooden houses under a big tree. Various flowers were planted in front of the wooden houses.
Shen Xingwan walked up with Banxia Qinghong, and there were a few gray rabbits eating radishes next to the wooden house.
A sharp arrow shot out of the room, Shen Xingwan tilted her head, and the sword feather passed by her ear.
Shen Ruoyan made a gesture, and the secret guards swarmed forward.
The sound of fighting was particularly obvious in the quiet temple.
At this time, the wooden door was opened from the inside, Zhou Meidai was tied to a chair, and a knife was placed on her neck.
The woman holding the knife said loudly, "Stop."
Shen Xingwan said coldly, "Everyone stop it!"
"Miss Shen came to meet a friend and brought someone with her?" said the leading man.
Shen Zhou looked at him with sharp eyes, "Isn't this just in case something unexpected happens? Facts have proved that I was right."
The man in front of him was tall and mighty, wearing gray burlap clothes, and his whole body could not hide his gangster aura.
"You were the one who attacked Princess Qinghe at Fenglin Ferry, right?" Shen Xingwan said with certainty, "The master of Yanlin Dulin in Yunzhong!"
Lin Du looked at her angrily, "Humph, the girl is really smart. If your Shen family hadn't been involved in this matter, Princess Qinghe would have been in my possession long ago."
The Shen family just happened to show up, ruining the most critical part of the entire plan, the fire attack.
"How do you want me to compensate for my loss?" Lin Du said in a very rogue manner.
Shen Xingwan looked at Zhou Meidai who signaled her to leave with his eyes and asked, "What does Mr. Lin want?"
"Of course it's Princess Qinghe. The girl must have a way." Lin Du said bluntly.
Shen Xing looked at Lin Du at night. She had just heard about him last night. It almost happened out of nowhere. No one knew about his past.
"Did Princess Qinghe offend you?" Shen Xingwan asked. It seems that Princess Qinghe has nothing to do with the water bandits.
Lin Yan's face flashed with murderous intent, "She owes me a blood debt!"
Oh, it turned out to be the emperor's fault.
Shen Xingwan chuckled softly, "What if you capture Princess Qinghe or even kill her? Wait until the emperor gets angry and sends troops to suppress the bandits, and let your brothers follow you to finish the game?"
"You don't really think that you can get away with killing the emperor's daughter, do you?"
"Being pampered is just a daughter to the emperor. He will not be sad for more than three days. There will be other daughters and sons rushing to comfort him. He is still a high-ranking emperor."
"Is this the revenge you want?"
Lin Du clenched the sword in his hand, with a ferocious expression on his face.
He knew in his heart that what Shen Xingwan said was right.
But he had nightmares day and night, about the nine tribes being executed. Whenever he closed his eyes, there were only cries and blood.
He couldn't wait any longer. He was afraid he would go crazy if he kept waiting.
Only the blood of the royal family can ease the pain in his heart and pay tribute to his relatives!
"Then I want her to die too!"
"You can only choose between your senior sister's life and Princess Qinghe's life!"
Lin Du slashed the stool in front of him with a knife, and he looked like he was going crazy every minute.
Shen Xing lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I choose senior sister..."
"What?"
"I said I chose senior sister. Compared to the princesses who are favored by thousands of people, my senior sister has nothing and cannot be betrayed anymore." Shen Xingwan said.
Things were going so smoothly, even the reasons were impeccable.
The bandits in the room looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Hahahaha." Lin Du laughed, "The girl is indeed courageous."
"Then you go and kill Princess Qinghe!" Lin Du said with a bit of madness, "I will wait for the good news about the girl!"
Shen Xingwan didn't speak for a long time.
"Is this girl duplicity?"
The woman in black approached Zhou Meidai with her knife and threatened, "I'll see blood as soon as I exert force. It's better for me to give you an answer quickly."
At this moment, Zhou Meidai, who was tied up, let out a sob and tilted her body, hitting the knife edge directly.
Fortunately, the woman in black sheathed the knife quickly, and her neck was still bleeding.
"Sister!"
This scene was so shocking that I had never seen anyone rush to die.
"What a loving senior sister..."
Lin Du took the cloth stuck in Zhou Meidai's hand with complicated eyes.
"Wanwan, please leave quickly and don't worry about me."
"I don't have much nostalgia in this world anymore, so there's nothing wrong with going to Ikuro as soon as possible."
"Remember to bury Yu Lang and I together." Zhou Meidai said with a calm face, "In my life, I have a husband who loves me deeply, a husband, and finally I met my junior sister. It is not a regret."
Lin Du's eyes stopped on Shen Xingwan's face, "Your senior sister is willing to die in order not to implicate you."
"What about you, are you willing to let your senior sister die?"
It must be said that Lin Du is a master at manipulating people's hearts.
