Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 188 Turning Point 1
The breeze blew, sending the faint fragrance of flowers in the yard into the quiet room.Lavender spices are burning in the red gold hollow carved incense burner on the window sill, and the curling white smoke floats in the air.

Shen Wanyu leaned lazily on the soft pillow on the bed, looking at the slender and tall figure standing in front of her.She pursed her lips slightly, intertwining her fingers.

"Yufeng, how is your progress?"

Yufeng's face was condensed, and his deep and dark eyes calmly looked at Shen Wanyu.

"Miss Hui, my subordinates bought a Zhuangzi not far from the capital and are building it. The underground has also been opened up, and secret escape routes and secret rooms have been built."

He took out a scroll from his pocket and handed it to Shen Wanyu, although he was worried about Yushui in his heart.But she didn't mention Yushui's matter, so he didn't ask about it either.He believed that Miss, Yu Shui's life must not be in danger now.Otherwise, she would not have stayed here so peacefully.

Shen Wanyu took the scroll and opened it, her eyes flickered slightly.This is Zhuangzi's construction drawing, which draws the structure of each courtyard and room in great detail.There are also the location of the secret passage, the escape route, and the location of several secret rooms.

Appreciation flashed in her eyes, such a cautious structure is not something that ordinary people can draw.It is not easy for this person to come up with such a precise arrangement of drawings.

"Who designed and drew this Zhuangzi's layout?"

Rolling up the scroll, she raised her head slightly to look at Yufeng with a condensed face.I haven't seen him for a while, but Yufeng's momentum is more stable, but the coldness on his face has deepened.But this kind of him makes people feel a little fearful, and he is more suitable for managing the people below.The so-called management subordinates like to let one person sing a bad face and the other sing a good face.

The candidate for the black face must be Yufeng, as for the white face, she doesn't have a suitable candidate yet.

"This is drawn by an old gentleman, he is very good at this." Yufeng put away the scroll, and said lightly.

Shen Wanyu raised her eyebrows, it seems that Yufeng has taken in a lot of strange people these days.She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled with satisfaction.

"Yufeng, you have worked hard these days. When the power is stable, you can choose a suitable person to assist you."

She intends to cultivate Yufeng. A good leader should not only be convincing, but also have a pair of eyes that can see people.He wanted to take this opportunity to see Yufeng's ability to judge people, but from the people he took in, it could be seen that his ability to judge people was pretty good.

Yufeng was taken aback for a moment, he knew what Shen Wanyu meant.That was to hand over the power to him to manage, so he pursed his lips slightly.

"This subordinate will definitely not disappoint Miss's trust in me."

Shen Wanyu nodded, she sat up and pointed to the chair in front of the table for him to sit down.

"I'm very assured of your ability. I asked you to come back this time to ask how you're doing there. I'm sure you know the other reason. Yushui has been imprisoned. Although his life should not be in danger, we still have to Get her out as soon as possible."

Yufeng nodded, his handsome brows furrowed.There was a trace of coldness in the voice, Yu Shui and he could be said to be companions who entered the Dark Guard camp together.Now that she was in danger, he would naturally be worried.

"Miss, Yu Shui will be fine. The subordinates will definitely rescue her, so don't worry."

Hearing the affirmative tone in his mouth, he seemed to have full confidence.Shen Wanyu was slightly taken aback, and frowned.

"What can you do to save her?"

Yufeng raised his head and looked at Shen Wanyu. He pondered for a moment before he spoke: "We can only stay in the Dark Guard Battalion today after a series of training, and those who stay will go out in groups of two. And this group Some people have their special contact method, so that it is convenient for one of them to be rescued when the other is in danger. It’s just that since Yu Shui and I left the Dark Guard Camp, I don’t know if she still has that sachet on her.”

Shen Wanyu was slightly surprised, she tilted her head and looked at Yufeng: "Sachet?"

"Yes, there is a special fragrance in that sachet. We normal people can't smell it, but there is a kind of bug that can smell this fragrance. It feeds on this fragrance, and it will automatically find it when it is released. go."

As Yufeng said, he took off a small brown bag from his body, and opened the mouth of the bag.A small bug about the size of a finger crawled out of it. Its whole body was emerald green, and it seemed to be covered with a thin film that shone with luster.With a small body and fleshy body, he was crawling on the table twisting and turning.

The corner of Shen Wanyu's mouth twitched, she had never seen this kind of bug and didn't know what it was.But look at the small fleshy body, and the slow movement of getting up.If you really follow it to find Yushui, how long will it take to find it.

"Yufeng, are you sure this little guy can lead us to find Yushui?"

Yufeng nodded, he looked at Shen Wanyu's face full of disbelief.The corners of the mouth turned up, no one would have thought that such an insignificant looking bug would have such an amazing speed.

"Miss, this bug's name is Flying General. Although its crawling speed is very slow, its flying speed is extremely fast. Those who are not good at lightness kung fu will not be able to keep up with it."

Shen Wanyu raised her eyebrows, she couldn't believe what Yufeng said.Seeing that she still didn't believe it, Yufeng put two fingers in his mouth and blew.

The little bug, which was twisting its body on the table, paused, and then stretched out a pair of thin, veiled wings from its fleshy body.The wings flapped slightly, and the fleshy body flew up.Going around in circles in the room, the speed surprised Shen Wanyu.

"This little guy is really fast."

Shen Wanyu couldn't help admiring, she really couldn't underestimate this little bug.It's true that people cannot be judged by their appearances, insects cannot be judged by their appearances, and sea water cannot be measured.

"But this little bug lives on that kind of spice, but that spice may not only be available to Yushui. What if she also has it?"

Hearing Shen Wanyu's doubts, Yufeng thought for a while before opening his mouth: "Everyone's spice is unique, and the flying general has been fed this kind of spice since birth. So it only recognizes this kind of spice in its life, every kind of sachet They are paired with flying generals."

Shen Wanyu nodded knowingly, her eyes flashed with excitement.With this little bug, it would be much easier to rescue Yushui.

"Okay, then we'll act tonight. I'll be with you, and you can pick out two more skilled people. There will be fewer people, so as not to alarm those people."

After making a decision, Shen Wanyu let Yufeng leave.She got off the bed and walked out of the house.

In the yard, Qiu Zhu and Ru Huan were taking care of the medicine garden. Seeing her come out, Qiu Zhu put down the kettle in his hand and walked over.

"Miss, seeing the smile finally appeared on your face, is it possible that Brother Yufeng can rescue Sister Yushui?"

Shen Wanyu felt much more at ease, and nodded when she heard Qiuzhu's words.She looked at the clear blue sky, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Yes, Yufeng said that there is a kind of spice on Yushui's body. There is a kind of worm in his place that feeds on that spice. Follow the worm to find Yushui."

Qiu Zhu's eyes widened. It turns out that there are such miraculous bugs in this world.She really saw it, thinking that she could save Yu Shui.Qiuzhu's mood also improved, and the smile on his face increased.

"That's really great, Miss can rest assured now."

"Well, go and prepare breakfast for me."

Shen Wanyu didn't eat last night, she was always worried about Yu Shui and now she knows there is a way to rescue her.Her heart was relieved, and she naturally felt hungry.

"Yes, ma'am."

Qiuzhu happily agreed, although Miss Yushui was imprisoned, her face was calm.But she knew that she was still worried to some extent, and the meal had not been eaten well.Now that she takes the initiative to eat, she is naturally happy.

Qiuzhu's movements were quick, and within a short while, he came out of the small kitchen with hot porridge and a few side dishes.

Ru Huan stood behind Shen Wanyu, listening to the conversation between the two.Her eyes flickered slightly, and her eyeballs rolled around.

"Miss, let me buy you some sour plums. It seems that you have no plums in your room."

Shen Wanyu took a sip of porridge, thinking of the sweet and sour plums.His eyes moved, and he nodded.

"Go, if you don't remind me. I really forgot that the plums are gone."

Ru Huan smiled happily, then turned and left the yard.Looking at the slender figure leaving, Shen Wanyu's mouth quietly curled into a smile.

After Shen Wanyu had breakfast, she scanned the yard but did not see that round little thing.

"Qiuzhu, where's the little thing?"

She found that the little thing seemed to always run out during this time, and used to dangle in front of her eyes as long as she was around.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it all morning." Qiuzhu also looked around and frowned.She has been busy these days, and she didn't pay much attention to small things.

"Forget it, maybe it ran out for fun, after all, it remembers the way home."

Originally, I didn't want to raise the little thing in captivity. It is a firefox, so I naturally want to keep it free so as not to wipe out its aura.She likes little things because of its aura and the intelligence in its eyes.

Qiuzhu nodded, and then cleaned up everything on the table.Shen Wanyu looked at the busy Qiuzhu, she thought for a moment before speaking.

"Qiu Zhu, come with me to the Zui Wu Xuan."

After Qiu Zhu packed up her things, she followed Shen Wanyu out of the courtyard to Zui Wu Xuan.

In the exquisitely furnished study room, a faint fragrance of books permeated the air.Chu Mohan's slender figure stood in front of the window, his narrow Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly.

"Sachet? Bug?"

A deep voice overflowed from the sexy thin lips, like a murmur.Shadow stood quietly behind him, waiting for his order.
