Chapter 44: Dragon Shadow Guard, Exposed?
"Who are you? What's your name?"
Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan asked casually.
"I am Dragon Shadow Guard, codename Chongba."
Facing everyone's incredulous gazes, the man in black answered her question woodenly.
"this···"
If I was just shocked just now, now I am scared.
Qingying and the others all opened their mouths in disbelief, and even Wei Chengyi couldn't help but look sideways.
Shen Xiangwan glanced at them lightly, but ignored them and continued to ask in a serious tone, "Dragon Shadow Guard? The Dog Emperor's Shadow Guard? What is your purpose? Why did you show up at the post station?"
"Yes, the emperor ordered us to monitor Wei Chengyi and confirm his death with our own eyes before returning to report. If he shows any abnormality, he must be killed immediately. The imperial doctors have already determined that he will not live for more than seven days and will not wake up again, but he suddenly woke up in the daytime. The leader is worried and suspects that he may be faking the poison. That's why we visited the post station at night to determine the truth."
"Besides you, is there anyone else monitoring Wei Chengyi?"
"We are the only Dragon Shadow Guards."
In other words, the rest is uncertain?
Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but frown. With the character of the dog emperor, she had reason to suspect that there might be his accomplices among the bailiffs, the Shen family, or even the Wei family.
"How do you Dragon Shadow Guards communicate with each other?"
This time, the person being questioned was not Shen Xiangwan, but Wei Chengyi. He had long known that the emperor had secretly sent people to monitor him, so there was not much point in asking again. Now that they had killed the Dragon Shadow Guards who were secretly monitoring them, they had to delay the emperor's discovery as much as possible. As long as they arrived in Chenzhou safely, it would not be so easy for the emperor to take their lives again.
"We communicate through a specially trained bluebird."
As he spoke, the man in black tore off the scent sachet he was carrying and handed it to him: "Each Dragon Shadow Guard has a scent sachet with a different scent. The scent inside cannot be smelled by ordinary people. Only the specially trained Blue Bird can smell it and accurately pass the message to the corresponding Dragon Shadow Guard."
"is it?"
After taking the sachet, Wei Chengyi's eyes darkened. Fortunately, he asked, otherwise, if they dealt with the corpse casually, the emperor would probably notice something was wrong soon and send more people to hunt them down.
"Let me see."
Shen Xiangwan took the sachet and smelled it, then tore it open and poured out the spices inside to look through it carefully: "It really doesn't have any smell, and it doesn't contain spices, but some wood blocks, which should have been soaked in some special medicine."
As long as she is given some time, she can use the instruments in the space to analyze the ingredients of the potion and make the same potion.
"Ah."
Nodding, Wei Chengyi handed the sachet to Qingying: "When dealing with the bodies, don't forget to collect the sachets on them. You don't have to deal with them, just carry them with you. If you receive instructions from the emperor, try to fool him and buy as much time as possible for us to go to Chenzhou."
Chenzhou is located to the west of the Tianqi Dynasty, nearly three thousand miles away from the imperial city. It is a border state. He was reborn a little late, and it was too late to change his fate of impending exile. Therefore, after his rebirth, the first thing he did was to gather the guards who remained in the army and some secret forces in the palace. Except for the people who were settled in the imperial city, only Qingying and others were left to accompany and protect him, and all the others were sent to Chenzhou for deployment. The only thing they can do now is to rush to Chenzhou as soon as possible.
"Yes."
After taking the sachet, Qingying bowed respectfully with his fists clasped.
"Let's go back."
There was nothing else to ask, so Wei Chengyi turned and looked at Shen Xiangwan.
"Ah."
Shen Xiangwan did not object, and the two of them turned around at the same time. As for the man in black and the corpses, Qingying and the others would take care of them.
When the two of them walked back to the post station, Shen Xiangwan remembered that the door of the post station was closed. The only window that was open and accessible was the window of the room of Wei Chengyi and his brother. She had no way of explaining how she got out, and there was no way she could fly back directly through the window like Wei Chengyi and his brothers.
"that···"
"Offended."
Shen Xiangwan was about to say something when Wei Chengyi suddenly picked her up sideways. Before she could react, he tapped his toes and both of their bodies rose from the ground and instantly returned to the room on the second floor.
"Forehead···"
Both hands reflexively hugged his neck, and Shen Xiangwan's forehead was covered with gorgeous black lines. "Where did you go before?"
While she was speechless, Wei Chengyi had already carried her back to their room, and asked in a deep voice when he put her down.
"what?"
Shen Xiangwan raised his head suddenly, and then said unnaturally: "Yes, where can I go? To the toilet."
How did he know she had not been in the room before?
Not knowing when he discovered it, Shen Xiangwan felt somewhat lacking in confidence and did not dare to look him in the eye.
"Toilet?"
Raising his eyebrows, Wei Chengyi moved closer. Who would take nearly two hours to use the toilet?
"Well, to the bathroom. Otherwise, where would I go in the middle of the night if I wasn't in my room?"
Under tremendous pressure, Shen Xiangwan simply pretended to be confused. She just went to the toilet anyway, believe it or not.
Still a little rascal!
Wei Chengyi's lips curled slightly, his eyes full of helplessness. He could only accept having such a wife.
"By the way, how did you know I wasn't in the room before?"
Shen Xiangwan tiptoed over and poured himself a cup of herbal tea and asked in a low voice.
"I suddenly felt your breath disappear, so I came over to take a look."
Walking over and sitting down opposite her, Wei Chengyi did not hide anything and did not continue to ask questions. He knew that she had a secret and had no intention of exploring her secret. After all, everyone has their own little secrets, and so does he. He was reminding her so that she would not expose her secret to others.
"Ok?"
Can you feel this?
Shen Xiangwan paused while drinking tea. The idea of being a martial arts master was too fucked up.
"It's almost Yin hour, let's sleep a little longer."
After making sure that she had understood his hint, Wei Chengyi did not linger any longer. As he stood up, he could not help but ask, "Wanwan, do you want to learn martial arts?"
"what?"
Shen Xiangwan raised his head reflexively, and then immediately came close to him: "Are you willing to teach me?"
Only by becoming one of the martial arts masters would she know how to circumvent their keen perception, and her secrets must never be exposed.
"This is the Taixuan Heart Sutra, the most advanced internal energy technique. You should familiarize yourself with it first, and I will teach you how to use it another day."
Seeing how anxious she was, Wei Chengyi smiled and took out a yellowed booklet and handed it to her, but...
"Late night?"
Shen Xiangwan did not reach out her hand immediately, but stared at him. Wei Chengyi could not help but feel a little confused.
"Ahem..."
Coming back to his senses, Shen Xiangwan clenched his fists and coughed twice, then raised his head and said with a deliberately fierce face: "I'm not saying that your appearance is too unfriendly to the heart."
Damn it, that smile of his just now almost killed her, it was too tempting, wasn't it? It almost made her want to do something lustful and mind-boggling.
"Forehead···"
Wei Chengyi's forehead darkened, and his ears turned red. Is she still a woman? How can she praise a man so bluntly?
There is no doubt that if Shen Xiangwan knew what he was thinking, she would definitely let him see what true straightforwardness meant.
After that, the two of them talked for a few more words before Wei Chengyi left and returned to his room. Shen Xiangwan was not in a hurry to look through the Taixuan Heart Sutra. After making sure that she did not disturb Zhao Yuping and her daughter, she lay down on the bed made of long benches. She kept thinking about what happened after she traveled through time and space, and fell asleep unknowingly.
