Noble First Daughter-in-law

The room fell into a long, dull, and peaceful silence.

I don't know how long it took before I heard Shen Wuzheng sigh, and said: "It seems that we still underestimated each other, this person shot cleanly, it doesn't seem like he did it for the first time."

"..."

"But the scariest thing is not this person's methods."

Yu Wenye looked at him, but remained silent, but Pei Xingyuan said suspiciously: "Isn't that scary? I almost lost my life today at the hands of this person. What could be more frightening than this?"

Shen Wuzheng smiled and shook his head.

Then said: "What's even more frightening is that there is such a person beside us, but we have never noticed it."

"...!?"

Pei Xingyuan suddenly opened his eyes wide.

And Yu Wenye's eyes flickered slightly, and after thinking about it again, he said: "Brother Fu Ming means that a wise man lives in the world, if he is in the bag, he will see it at the end."

Shen Wuzheng nodded.

Pei Xingyuan blinked, thought for a while, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, if there is such a powerful person, how could there be no reputation at all in the past."

Shen Wuzheng said: "Even Shantong'er—such a child, Fengchen can call him by name and know his origin when he goes to Wanggang village."

"..."

"This person's means and wisdom have caused us far more trouble than Wang Gangzhai, but we have never known his existence, and the folks have never had such a person's name. "

"..."

"This guy is like, like—"

He frowned slightly, as if considering his words.

At this moment, Shang Ruyi who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "It's as if, God threw it into this world out of thin air."

"...!"

Hearing this, the three men were stunned for a moment.

Especially Yu Wenye, who seemed to have never expected Shang Ruyi to say such a word suddenly, looked at her in surprise, but Shen Wuzheng thought about it, and said slowly: "That's right."

"..."

"This person knows and can do much more than ordinary people."

"..."

After hearing this sentence, Shang Ruyi's eyes deepened a little, his lips were drawn into a line, and he didn't speak any more.

The whole room fell into an almost dull silence again.

However, this silence was immediately interrupted by Pei Xingyuan, who raised his hand and slapped the table, but he forgot his wound, grinned in pain, his red eyes showed disdain, and said: "More than What about ordinary people?"

"..."

"How many of us are ordinary people?"

"..."

"That person tried so hard to kill me, but didn't he succeed?"

Speaking of this, he seemed to have just remembered something, turned his head to look at Yu Wenye, and said: "By the way, that Jin Daji sent people to stop him all the way tonight, just because he didn't want me to play tricks and let people follow us. Then How did you find that place? And come so fast?"

Yu Wenye glanced at him and said, "Wanghuolou."

"what?"

When Pei Xingyuan heard it, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "The watchtower next to the metropolis?"

Yu Wenye nodded.

Wanghuo Tower is a high-rise building built outside the four most prosperous Fangshi in Daxing City. It is said to be a tower, but it is actually a simple wooden tower. The height is almost the same as the city wall. If there is a fire in a city, you can find it immediately, and you can roughly locate it to fight the fire.

One of the two watchtowers in Dongcheng was built in the northwest corner of the city.

After Yu Wenye found out that he had lost Pei Xingyuan, he didn't force his way in. After all, that might not be able to keep up with the opponent.

He said: "I arrived at the watchtower, and as soon as I arrived, I saw the fire over there."

"..."

"I estimated the location and immediately led people there."

As he said that, he glanced at Pei Xingyuan, his eyes flickering slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Fortunately, you bought some time yourself."

"..."

"Otherwise - I really may not be able to make it in time."

When Pei Xingyuan heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Indeed, at that time, if he hadn't tried his best to lure Jin Daji forward with the 1000 taels of silver notes, and then grabbed his arm to die with him, forcing him to order those people to extinguish the flames and wait until he was rescued If he did something to himself again, and saved the time for Yu Wenye to come here, he was afraid that something bad might happen to him tonight.

Pei Xingyuan had lingering fears in his heart, but he immediately smiled and said, "My good brother, you are still reliable."

"..."

But Yu Wenye didn't speak immediately, only remained silent for a while, then looked at him and said: "Xing Yuan, tonight, you saved yourself!"

Pei Xingyuan suddenly became a little proud again, shook his head and smiled, then looked at Shen Wuzheng, and said: "Look, let me just say, the other party is better than ordinary people, but are we ordinary people?"

"..."

"He can't kill me with all his efforts, let alone the combination of us."

"..."

"Also, even if the other party can predict—or even omniscient, can he figure out what's going on in our minds? I don't think so, otherwise, if he wants to kill me, he doesn't have to go through every step of the way."

"..."

"So, the same sentence, as long as we think deeper than the other party, he will have nothing to do with us, let alone win us!"

"..."

"Fengchen, what do you think!"

"..."

Yu Wenye didn't answer him, but just glanced at him, then slowly stood up, walked to the other side of the room, and pushed open the window.

Suddenly, a gust of fresh wind blew into the room, blowing away the anxious emotions that had just grown up, not only Shang Ruyi and Shen Wuzheng, but also Pei Xingyuan, who had inhaled a lot of smoke before and felt his chest was stuffy all the time. They all felt a smooth breath and let out a soft sigh.

So comfortable!
And then looked up to the outside, the originally pitch-black horizon, now faintly glowing a little white.

It's almost dawn.

It wasn't until this time that Pei Xingyuan realized that they had been tossing all night—it's not surprising that he was already Zishi when he arrived at the north gate of the city, and after experiencing life and death, he was taken here again. Yu Wenye dealt with those people again, and now, it's not almost dawn.

On the dimly lit street, carriages had already begun to appear. The sound of horseshoes and wheels rolling over the ground gradually broke the silence of this long night.

Usually at this time, the officials of the imperial court would enter the palace to attend the early court, but now, although the early court was exempted, Yu Wenyuan had already ordered on the first day of the plague that he would get up early every day to do business in the Chengqing Hall, It was at this time that these officials were about to rush to the palace to assist in government affairs.

Yu Wenye slowly turned around and looked at the three people in the room.

The deep night behind him, and the faint morning light that cannot be concealed even by the deep night, outline his tall body more and more clearly, and what is more clear is that those pair of eyes are never flustered, but calmer in the chaos. eyes.

He said, "Of course."

As he spoke, he slightly lowered his eyelids again, and his long eyelashes covered those pure and introverted eyes, only a little bit of flickering light leaked out, and said: "After tonight, I feel that this person may really be able to Prophet, but—”

Shang Ruyi said, "How?"

Yu Wenye said: "Knowledge and wisdom are two different things."

Hearing his words, a gleam of light flashed in Shen Wuzheng's eyes, and after a while, he nodded slightly.

But Pei Xingyuan obviously didn't understand what they meant, looked at Yu Wenye, then at Shen Wuzheng, and said anxiously: "What do you mean? What do you two mean? Explain it!"

Yu Wenye only pursed his lips, but ignored him, but said to Shang Ruyi: "It's almost time, let's go."

Shang Ruyi nodded and immediately stood up.

After all, she is different from the "ruthless" Yu Wenye and Shen Wuzheng. After getting up, she said to Pei Xingyuan who was a little angry at being left out: "Mr. Said."

Although Pei Xingyuan was a little dissatisfied, he could only nod when he heard what she said.

Shang Ruyi looked up at Shen Wuzheng again: "Brother, then you—"

Shen Wuzheng said: "I have no official position and no kindness, so I won't enter the palace with you, I'd better stay here and take care of Xingyuan."

Originally, he was displeased, but when he heard this, Pei Xingyuan immediately laughed again, and said, "You have a conscience."

Shen Wuzheng shook his head, looked at Yu Wenye again, his expression was a bit more serious than before, and said: "The success or failure of the recent plan depends on it—you, be careful!"

Yu Wenye nodded: "Yes."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room with Shang Ruyi.

After a while, there was the sound of a carriage leaving downstairs, and Shen Wuzheng walked to the window, watching their carriage getting further and further away, and finally disappeared at the end of the still dark long street.

He sighed softly, turning around.

Seeing that Pei Xingyuan stood up slowly and stretched his waist, but it involved several bruises on his body, which made him grin his teeth in pain, so Shen Wuzheng walked back to him and asked, "Do you want to call a doctor again?" Let's see, or—"

Pei Xingyuan waved his hand immediately: "Let's talk again, I'm going to sleep for a while, I've been tossing all night, and my eyelids are almost inseparable."

Shen Wuzheng smiled and shook his head, then helped him to the side of the bed and lay down, then pulled the quilt and covered him up.

Pei Xingyuan smiled and said, "Unexpectedly, you still care about me so much."

Shen Wuzheng tucked the corner of the quilt for him, and then said: "By the way, you burned Ruyi's 500 taels of silver note last night - remember to make it up for her."

"what?"

Pei Xingyuan's screams immediately sounded in the room——

"500 taels, let me make it up? I lost 500 taels of my own!"

"I don't care if you burn your own, but if you burn Ruyi's, you have to pay for it."

"You are too heartless..."

During the complaints and disputes between the two, the sky gradually brightened, and the streets that had been silent all night gradually revealed bright outlines in the morning light. When the first ray of sunlight shone on the Daxing Palace, the originally closed city The door suddenly opened.

A horse galloped in, stirring up the already turbulent morning in Daxing City, making it even more tense.
