Chapter 54: Go find the fourth princess!

"After I went in, the fourth princess asked me to drink tea. After I drank the tea, I realized that there was a drug in it. The drug was colorless and odorless, and I couldn't detect it at all."

Hearing this, Shen Tianming couldn't help but think of the time when he was poisoned before. Not to mention Lu Jiu'an, even he didn't notice that the food was poisonous.

But why did Shen Qingtang drug Lu Jiu'an?

Seeing that Shen Tianming's expression softened a little, Lu Jiu'an continued.

"Now that I think about it carefully, the fourth princess's expression seemed a little unnatural at that time, as if she was being coerced."

"Did the assassin threaten the fourth princess to drug me?" In order to protect Shen Qingtang and frame the crime on the assassin, Lu Jiu'an had to lie to Shen Tianming.

This was the first time he had lied in front of the emperor.

Shen Tianming followed Lu Jiu'an's train of thought and thought that this might really be the case.

Even if Shen Qingtang wanted to escape, she would not set fire to the Lan Yue Palace because Lu Jiu'an was still unconscious in the palace and other palace maids and guards were also in the palace.

Shen Qingtang has always protected her shortcomings, and Shen Tianming is willing to believe that she was coerced by the assassin.

But Shen Tianming always felt a little weird.

He asked the captain of the guard: "How many people have left the city?"

"There is only one, that young man in black."

One?
Does that prove that Shen Qingtang is still in the imperial city?
"Send the order and immediately search all shops in the city. We must rescue the fourth princess."

Lu Jiu'an was also about to go out to look for him, but Shen Tianming immediately stopped him.

Shen Tianming has always dealt with things in a muddle-headed manner, but now that it was about Shen Qingtang, his meager IQ suddenly took over the high ground.

Although Shen Qingtang was captured by assassins, she also wanted to leave the imperial city.

There is only one person out of the city tonight, and that person is either an assassin or Shen Qingtang!

Maybe there were other assassins outside the city responding, so the assassins in the city gave Shen Qingtang the only general token to let her out of the city.

Shen Qingtang took advantage of the situation and sneaked out of the city dressed as a teenager.

Shen Tianming's analysis was very clear and logical, and he finally convinced himself.

You can't just look for it in the city, you also need to send people to look for it outside the city.

"Lu Jiu'an, I want you to find the fourth princess and bring her back safely. If you don't have her in the city, go and look for her outside the city."

"I will send a few people to look for it with you. If you can't find it, you don't have to come back!"

"As for Mrs. Lu, I will send someone to take good care of her for you."

Shen Tianming's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone contained a hint of threat, which made people shudder.

Lu Jiu'an was unfavorable in protecting the fourth princess and should have been punished. He couldn't beat Lu Jiu'an, so couldn't he threaten him?
Mental punishment is far more painful than physical punishment.

Lu Jiu'an's mouth tightened, the emperor actually threatened him with his mother!
On one side is the woman he loves, and on the other side is his respected mother.

"My lord, I obey the order." Lu Jiu'an spoke with difficulty.

In addition to Lu Jiu'an and others, Shen Tianming also sent other guards out to look for Shen Qingtang.

Shen Muxin watched all this quietly in the dark, with a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Isn't it a good thing that Shen Qingtang left the palace? Why did the emperor send people to find Shen Qingtang back?

She wished that Shen Qingtang would just die outside, but no, she couldn't let Shen Qingtang come back alive.

Outside the city gate, the guards divided into several groups and pursued Shen Qingtang with all their strength.

The search direction of Lu Jiu'an's team happened to be north.

Lu Jiu'an knew that these people were sent by the emperor to monitor him.

In order to escape further, Shen Qingtang flew all night.

This was her first time flying with a sword for so long, and it almost killed her.

Her flying speed is not particularly fast, and she does not have a lot of spiritual power.

Shen Qingtang didn't want to fall to his death from the sky, so he landed near a small town.

She found an inn, ate something and slept to replenish her energy. After her spiritual power was restored, she continued flying north.

"Meow~" Master~
Xiaomi got out of the spirit beast bag, pulled Shen Qingtang's clothes and climbed onto her shoulders. "Xiao Mi, aren't you afraid of heights?" Shen Qingtang touched its soft little head.

"Meow~" I'm not afraid!

"Yes, it is said that cats have nine lives and have strong climbing abilities. They are generally not afraid of heights."

"Now that we are flying so high in the sky, Xiaomi is not afraid. Xiaomi is so brave~ You are so awesome~!"

Shen Qingtang Kuku praised her fiercely. Xiaomi was so dizzy from the praise that she raised her chin proudly.

"Meow~!" Of course, I am the bravest and most powerful kitten in the world!

Shen Qingtang's heart was so cute.

"From now on, we will live together. We can be as comfortable as we want with one person and one cat."

She glanced back behind her and saw that no one was catching up with her.

The world is so big, no one knows where Shen Qingtang will go, and those people will not be able to find her for a while.

At the same time, Lu Jiu'an was also looking for Shen Qingtang, and he was accompanied by several other guards.

"General Lu, which direction should we start looking for?"

Lu Jiu'an didn't know where Shen Qingtang would go, so he gave a random direction: "Let's go to the north."

……

Shen Qingtang kept flying like this, almost bumping into Lu Jiu'an and others several times.

A month later, she finally arrived safely in Lingquan Town.

Lingquan Town is built on the mountain, surrounded by mountains, and lives next to the water. The water flows along the small bridge and the scenery is pleasant.

Shen Qingtang sighed repeatedly. I have to say that the scenery in this place is really beautiful!
She originally thought this was just a small town, but she didn't expect that the town was quite big.

When she first arrived, Shen Qingtang was going to get some information first.

Although the book describes some local customs and customs, those were all books written before. What if things have changed now?
There is a shop in town that specializes in selling news, called Newsletter.

Well, simple and easy to understand.

As soon as Shen Qingtang entered the store, a handsome young man came over to greet her with a smile.

"This handsome, elegant, charming and stunning young master, may I help you in any way?"

Shen Qingtang:
There is no need to be so prosperous.

Shen Qingtang is still dressed as a teenager, but has replaced the black clothes with a green one.

"I know I'm handsome, but you don't need to praise me so obviously. I'm easily shy."

Bro:.
After so many years, he finally met someone more shameless than him.

"Young Master, please come with me."

The younger brother led Shen Qingtang to the private room inside. The news could not be told outside.

"Young Master, what news do you want to know?"

"First tell me the latest news about Lingquan Town, something important."

"No problem, please pay one hundred low-grade spiritual stones first."

"Okay." A hundred low-grade spiritual stones are not expensive.

"Since two months ago, Lingquan Town has only allowed entry and no exit."

Shen Qingtang:! ! !

What? ! Does that mean she can't get out? When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

"Why are you only allowed in but not allowed out?"

"Please young master, please continue to pay one hundred low-grade spiritual stones."

The little brother showed an extremely friendly smile, but in Shen Qingtang's eyes, he was a ruthless money-demanding machine.
