342: You will choke to death if you drink water.
At nightfall, the Guanyin Temple was set on fire.
The nearby black-armored guards saw it and immediately came over to take a look, only to find that not only the sister-in-law in the nunnery was killed, but two colleagues also died unexpectedly.
After Qingyang came over to check, he looked unhappy.
Although one of them had been burned beyond recognition, the other's appearance was well preserved because he was face down.
It was actually the two black-armored guards who were unlucky.
He was a little annoyed and said: "The princess clearly said that they are not suitable for missions, why are they here?!"
The others looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
Someone who knew them well speculated: "The two of them have always wanted to be promoted. They probably wanted to make meritorious deeds, so they went out to carry out the mission despite the princess's dissuasion."
Qingyang raised his head and glanced at them, his voice suddenly cold: "On weekdays, the dignitaries in the capital want to ask the princess to give her a few words, but the princess has no time to pay attention to them. If any of you lose your life by doing anything arbitrarily, the Supervisory Yuan will not pay for the resettlement.
, you must remember it!”
Everyone responded with a yes, and their awe for Nan Li increased even more.
Qingyang expected that Xue Shengnan would not run too far and asked the black armored guards to continue the pursuit.
However, he still kept Nan Li's words in mind, if he couldn't catch anyone within twelve hours, there was no need to look for him again.
He returned to Beijing first and informed Nan Li of the matter.
"It's all because of the lax governance of my subordinates that they lost their lives in vain."
Nan Li was preparing the elixir, without raising his head, and said slowly: "Sometimes the King of Hell wants to take their lives, and no one can stop them. Life and death are matters of fate, so don't take it to heart."
Qingyang's expression was serious: "I just didn't expect that Xue Shengnan and the other two women are not only powerful, but also so ruthless."
Nan Li paused, then raised his head: "How did those two black-armored guards die?"
Qingyang said: "One was burned to death, and even the bones were broken. I guess Xue Shengnan used talisman seals. The other..."
He coughed slightly and continued: "The other one seemed to have stumbled and fell down, and his neck was wiped by his own sword."
For a well-trained black-armored guard, this was simply a great shame and humiliation.
Nan Li opened her eyes slightly and was a little surprised: "It's really painful to die."
Qingyang nodded, "Indeed, if a person is unlucky, he will choke to death if he drinks water."
Nan Li shook his head, "His destiny is ordinary, so when he met Xue Shengnan, he couldn't resist it and became unlucky. It can also be said that Xue Shengnan has a good destiny and good luck, so he can always turn danger into safety."
Qingyang immediately frowned: "She brutally killed the sister-in-law who took her in. How can such a cruel and ruthless person have a good fate and good luck?"
Nan Li pursed her lips, a little confused by this.
Could it be that this Xue Shengnan was some kind of reincarnation of a great Luo god, and that’s why he had such luck?
No matter what, this woman is so lucky. If someone with a slightly different fate collides with her, they will be killed or injured, making it difficult to catch her.
If you want to catch her, you either have a good life or a hard life.
It's a pity that the toughest man in Kyoto is now taking the fake prince to inspect the military defense.
"Is there any news from the prince?" Nan Li thought of Ye Siheng and felt empty in her heart.
Qingyang looked outside and lowered his voice, "The prince has arrived in Qi State. It's hard to spread the news over there."
So they could only wait patiently in Beijing.
Nan Li nodded.
I just hope Ye Siheng’s trip goes well.
The medicine was almost ready. She stretched her body and said, "It's time for me to arrest someone."
At night.
Those groups of black-armored guards left the city to hunt down Xue Sheng's male master and servant, but little did they know that the two of them had used the disguise talisman and sneaked into Kyoto again.
Shuang'er was very timid at first, unable to straighten his waist, and was almost spotted by the officers and soldiers guarding the city.
However, a wanted criminal on the imperial list appeared later, causing a commotion, and the two of them were able to enter the city safely.
They were hungry, so they looked for a stall to fill their stomachs first.
Halfway through the meal, two officers and soldiers from Dali Temple came.
Shuang'er immediately stiffened and almost dropped his chopsticks to the ground.
Xue Shengnan held her hand, and their hands were cold and warm.
"Miss……"
"Eat more." Xue Shengnan said expressionlessly, "It's okay."
They are now using disguise talismans, and it is impossible for anyone without any skills to see their true appearance.
Shuang'er nodded, took a deep breath and continued eating noodles.
The two officers and soldiers did not pay attention to them, but instead talked about trivial matters in Dali Temple.
"It's also interesting. Your Excellency solved two cases with just one move."
"This seems to be the Ninth Princess's idea." Another person looked regretful and shook his head slightly, "It's useless even if it's broken. It's just that the man who manipulated the water ghost was not caught. Why didn't even a weak woman like Xue Shengnan be caught?"
"Although Xue Shengnan ran away, Miss Xue Er was cleared of her grievances. Although she was a bit domineering, it was pitiful to be wrongly accused of being a murderer."
"What's so pitiful? We adults are providing her with good food and drink. You're probably feeling guilty for using her as a trap, and you even agreed to Mrs. Xue's help in meeting the Third Young Master Chu!"
"Third Young Master Chu? Tsk tsk, so to speak, Second Miss Xue is a blessing in disguise."
"No, if you can marry into the Anyang Marquis Mansion and have money and power, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life."
"..."
When Xue Shengnan heard this, his eyes became terrifyingly cold.
The fists were clenched tightly, and the nails were embedded into the flesh due to the force. It was obviously very painful, but it was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.
It turns out that the Ninth Princess had seen through her tricks a long time ago.
She doesn't mind being a chess piece, but why does Xue Yaner have this opportunity?!
A woman who has no talent at all and is not good at playing, playing, chess, calligraphy or painting, is she worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Chu family?!
The cold breath spread, Shuang'er noticed it, and his body trembled: "Miss, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Xue Shengnan had calmed down and his eyes were cold.
From now on, she will never tolerate it again!
Everyone who has hurt her must pay the price!
After the two of them had eaten, they went directly to the Cheng Mansion. Xue Shengnan used the talisman to pass a secret letter in.
Not long after, the back door opened with a creak.
A young boy held a lantern, looked at the two of them, and then said: "Please follow the younger one."
He was a close servant of the general Cheng Wei, and he deliberately spared the way, avoided the servants in the mansion, and took them to the study.
Cheng Weigang read a secret letter and after thinking for a while, he burned it.
The attendant had already led him outside, "Sir, the young one has brought you here."
"Come in." Cheng Wei said.
The waiter opened the door and extended his hand in a gesture of invitation.
Xue Shengnan walked straight in. Even if he changed into an ordinary skirt, he still looked very elegant.
She raised her hand and used a talisman to remove the disguise talisman from her face, revealing her true appearance.
"Shengnan has met my uncle." Xue Shengnan's voice was melodious and calm.
