After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 22

"Are you awake?"

Shen Yu firmly held the handle of the dagger, but between the seemingly flimsy fingers, the bright white blade remained motionless.

Obviously looks like a weak person.

After settling his mind, Shen Yu said in a deep voice: "If His Royal Highness Cheng Wang finds out that his beloved Mrs. Ru is a man pretending to be a man, how would he feel?"

At this moment, Xie Tangru, who was alone without any disguise, did not look like a woman at all.

The dagger slashed across Yingbai's fingertips, turned lightly, and the blade mercilessly stuck tightly to Shen Yu's fragile throat.

"Oh." Xie Tangru raised the corners of his eyes, with a casual attitude, "How do you know he didn't find out?"

Xie Tangru was talking nonsense, but his calm appearance made Shen Yu wonder if there was something inside that he didn't know.

There was a wave of wavering in Shen Yu's heart.

Except for Xue Ciyi, that crazy and blind woman, no one should be able to see through Xie Tangru's disguise.

Xie Tangru narrowed his eyes: "Now it's my turn to ask you."

"Mr. Shen, you and I are strangers. We have no grievances or enmities. As soon as we met, you wanted to kill me." He stared at Shen Yu and said word by word, "It's too cruel."

"..." Shen Yu remained silent.

"Mr. Shen is a sensible person." Xie Tangru smiled slightly, "If you are honest earlier, I will let you go as soon as possible. After all, it is so late, and I still want to have a good rest."

When he was speaking, the thin blade in his hand moved a little to the side, just right to avoid Shen Yu's fatal spot, and then blood dripped out, and a slight pain spread to Shen Yu's mind, before Shen Yu realized it was the blunt knife with the skin cut open. pain.

One more point to the side, Xie Tangru could kill him immediately.

What was even more frightening was that when Xie Tangru did this, Shen Yu didn't feel the slightest tremor in his hands.

——This means that the other party really dared to take his life.

Shen Yu's mind sank slightly, and he said, "I want to kill you... because you saw me being humiliated today."

"Mr. Shen's sincerity is like this?" Xie Tangru raised his eyebrows, and asked, "If Mr. Shen is really so unbearable to be humiliated, then why don't you fight Miss Ciyi to the death?"

"Shut up! What right do you have to call her name?" After speaking, Shen Yu realized that he had lost his composure, and looked away stiffly.

"So it really has something to do with Miss Xue?" Xie Tangru held his chin and looked at him with a smile.

Shen Yu was silent for a moment, then followed his words and said: "That's right. I'm jealous that Ciyi treats you differently. I can tell at a glance that you are not a woman at all, but Ciyi is so naive that you deceive her. You are just a stick Get close to her as a woman..."

Before finishing this sincere heart-and-heart analysis, a low voice suddenly came from outside, as if two people were having a conversation.After a while, the voice stopped, and a young woman went around the screen and went to the inner room. When she saw Xie Tangru pointing a dagger at someone, she did not blink her eyes, and said in a hasty manner: "King Cheng is outside. He said that he saw the lights in the young master’s room suddenly turned on, and the guards in the other courtyard found the intruder’s footprints, so they came here to ask the young master if it is safe here.”

Shen Yu's heart sank.He wasn't sure if Xie Tangru would take the opportunity to hand him over to King Cheng, and he wasn't sure if falling into King Cheng's hands would be worse than the current situation of being controlled by others.

The worst thing was that this woman, who was obviously a maidservant, asked without any fluctuation in her tone: "King Cheng is still outside, should you send him now? Or now—" She said and glanced at Shen Yu, "Deal with this trouble directly. "

The more Shen Yuxin listened, the colder she became.

Good guy, he has met an expert in killing people!

Xie Tang looked at Shen Yu thoughtfully, "So Mr. Shen wants to kill me because Miss Xue has a good impression of me and is jealous?"

Shen Yu didn't answer, but the expression on his face confirmed this.

Although she didn't know the cause and effect clearly, Jianshuang felt that Mr. Shen might be out of his mind after listening to the words of his elder son.

Cant wait to catch up to die.

"Because of emotion, impulsive. It's really a good excuse." Xie Tangru said with a soft sigh, and leaned closer to Shen Yu's ear, "It's a pity that Mr. Shen's performance is too stiff. It's really hard for me to force myself to believe it. You are full of nonsense."

Shen Yu looked at him in disbelief.

But only saw Xie Tangru's indifferent face, and the back of the dagger held by the backhand fell unexpectedly, and then his consciousness was lost in the endless darkness.

Shen Yu fell to the ground with a "bang--".

Jianshuang took a step back, afraid that the other party would hit her when she fell down.

Xie Tangru had already put on his clothes and got up, without looking at Shen Yu again, he ordered Jianshuang: "Hide him in the cabinet." After speaking, he walked outside.

Shang Qingyao stood under the frosty moonlight. His long hair was untied, and he only hurriedly put on his coat, which was quite different from his usual tidy appearance.

Xie Tangru didn't miss the worry hidden under his brows, opened his mouth and said: "... Nothing happened to me here, thank you His Highness Cheng Wang for worrying. The deeper the exposure, His Highness Cheng Wang should go back to rest earlier."

His last words were inexplicably warm in the cold evening wind.

"Since you're fine." Shang Qingyao nodded, not wanting to ask any more questions, and said, "Tomorrow, the Governor of Yuzhou invited me to Baiyun Temple. It is said that there are immortal masters who have traveled here. Can Ah Fei go and see?"

"His Highness King Cheng believes in the immortal family?" Xie Tangru curled his lips.

The smile on Shang Qingyao's lips was light and weak, Xie Tangru felt that it was just a polite smile, and his real attitude was hidden under his unscrupulous expression.

Keep it secret.

"I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't think I'm destined for immortality. Naturally, there's no need to believe it or not."

Xie Tangru's voice was tinged with subtle malice that can only be discerned by listening carefully: "But Emperor Daxing believed in immortal alchemists and has always pursued the way of longevity."

Shang Qingyao sneered very lightly, "It's getting late, I won't disturb your rest. Rest early. I'm going to Baiyun Temple tomorrow."

Watching Shang Qingyao's back disappear into the boundless moonlight, Xie Tangru blinked, so did he just acquiesce that he planned to go to Baiyun Temple?

...His Royal Highness Cheng Wang's approach is a bit difficult.

After all, on the surface, as the son of the Duke of Wei, he has always devoted himself to praying for blessings in the Baiyun Temple.Instead of appearing in the governor's mansion as Cheng Wangru's wife.

Xie Tangru sighed regretfully.

Sure enough, it was all the fault of Mr. Shen Yu Shen, if he hadn't barged in in the middle of the night, Xie Tangru wouldn't have been "invited" by Shang Qingyao to the Baiyun Temple in the middle of the night.

So it's better to leave this annoying trouble to His Royal Highness Cheng Wang to solve it.

Shen Yu was of no use to him, but it might only increase Cheng Wang's suspicion of him.Xie Tang didn't want to make too much trouble with Shang Qingyao at this moment.

Xie Tang made up his mind, walked into the inner room with a smile.Jianshuang was staring at a pair of embroidered screens in a daze, her pitch-black eyeballs could not move, they were as delicate as a doll.

"Is there any movement in Baiyun Temple?" Xie Tangru sat down and asked.The governor of Yuzhou would not have the leisure to visit the Taoist temple with King Cheng. This is probably a good show.

And Shang Qingyao must also know that the governor of Yuzhou is weighing the timing and will kill him at any time.

Does His Royal Highness Cheng Wang know that there is him beside him, ready to be the oriole?

Xie Tangru actually looked forward to King Cheng's expression when he found out the truth.

The author has something to say: Doing so will only be (silenced——).
