"Evil or good?" Tan Shu asked.

Jiang Wenyu held his neck with both hands and said with a wrinkled face, "I don't know."

"Don't you have a strong sense of malice?"

"I just don't know."

Tan Shu heard and laughed: "Then what do you know?"

Jiang Wenyu thought for a while and said slowly: "They are from Futian Pavilion."

"How do you tell the difference?" Tan Shu narrowed his eyes and asked curiously.

"The sound of bells." Jiang Wenyu said matter-of-factly, "When they travel to find their accomplices, they tie a specific bell to the horse's feet."

"Your Majesty, please put me down first."

Jiang Wenyu stood firm on the ground, and Tan Shu turned around, his eyes fell on her, his dark eyes moved slightly, and he reached out to remove the leaves on her head.

The sound of horse hoofbeats became clearer and clearer, and when he looked around, he saw a man in black and green clothing in front of him. The horse he was riding had bells tied to its feet. Apart from the leading man, there were four other men following him.

Jiang Wenyu grabbed his sleeves and covered them in front of his nose to avoid inhaling dust.

Tan Shu reached out to hold her and pulled her behind him. He looked at the burly man coming over from his dismount with an indifferent expression.

The man has a shrewd and capable face, but it is different from Zhong Ling's shrewd and capable face. This person is partial to martial arts, and one can tell at a glance that he has extraordinary skills.

Cai Zhaoyang was startled when he met Tan Shu's cold gaze, and then looked at the girl who was hiding behind Tan Shu and looking at him.

"My Excellency, Cai Zhaoyang, has been ordered to find a girl named Jiang Wenyu." Cai Zhaoyang said, cupping his fists.

Jiang Wenyu glanced at him timidly, stretched out his hand to grab Tan Shu's sleeve, and pulled it.

Tan Shu lowered his head to look at her and tapped his chin.

"I am Jiang Wenyu." Jiang Wenyu blinked, "Whose order are you on?"

Cai Zhaoyang: "Quartz."

"That's it." Jiang Wenyu raised his hand to press his forehead hair blown by the wind, and said with a smile, "Where is she now?"

Cai Zhaoyang answered methodically: "Suzhou Mansion."

"Then can you take us to find her?" Jiang Wenyu's face lit up, and he seemed to believe him.

"I came here this time to take Miss Jiang back." Cai Zhaoyang said.

Jiang Wenyu's eyes were bright and he sincerely thanked you: "Thank you so much!"

Tan Shu took the time to look at Jiang Wenyu, who was playing tricks on others, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

Cai Zhaoyang thoughtfully handed over his horse: "Miss Jiang and..." He looked at Tan Shu, not knowing what to call him.

Obviously, no one told him that there was a strange man beside Miss Jiang.

Jiang Wenyu still smiled politely and said: "We can do it with just one horse, thank you."

She said so, Cai Zhaoyang could only nod.

On the official road, the sound of horse hooves sounded again, and they rode towards Suzhou.

The dust was flying all the way, and Jiang Wenyu and Tan Shu tacitly agreed not to speak.

Noon. The seven people stopped, rested at the inn, and had a meal.

Jiang Wenyu and Tan Shu dined in the private room on the second floor, while Cai Zhaoyang and the other five dined in the lobby on the first floor.

When the meal was almost done, Cai Zhaoyang knocked on the door and signaled that the two of them could continue on their way.

The moment Jiang Wenyu opened the door, Cai Zhaoyang, who was standing outside, was caught off guard by his shoulders and dragged into the room. With a bang, his back was pressed against the wall.

The incident happened so suddenly that before Cai Zhaoyang could react, Tan Shu grabbed his throat with his backhand.

Jiang Wenyu closed the door slowly and said softly: "I want to ask you a few questions. I thought this way would be faster."

Cai Zhaoyang looked at the young girl with lively and harmless features and the clear and indifferent man in front of him in fear.

"Who sent you here?" Jiang Wenyu said slowly, with a smile on his eyes, "Don't tell me about quartz."

Cai Zhaoyang looked shocked and hesitated.

Tan Shu closed his palms, tightened the hand around his throat, and said with sharp eyes, "Reply her."

Jiang Wenyu still had a smile on his face: "When someone asks you a question, it would be rude not to answer."

Cai Zhaoyang was puzzled, why did this little girl feel so oppressive despite her skinny appearance and thin arms and legs?

Tan Shu tightened his fingers as if to break his neck. Cai Zhaoyang was almost choked and couldn't breathe. He said with difficulty: "Master Dongfang."

"Dongfang Quan?" Jiang Wenyu frowned for a moment, then resumed his curved look, "Where is he now?"

Cai Zhaoyang: "I don't know. The head of the Dongfang family has always been elusive."

The strength in Tan Shu's hands loosened a little. Just when Cai Zhaoyang thought that Tan Shu was going to let him go and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Tan Shu tightened his throat without warning.

Cai Zhaoyang choked suddenly, but because he couldn't breathe, he couldn't choke out. His neck and face turned red from holding back.

"Who informed you of my location?" Jiang Wenyu looked directly at him and asked softly.

Cai Zhaoyang was shocked and looked at the girl in front of him with wide eyes.

"You were sent by Dongfang Quan, but the person who provided me with my location was definitely not Dongfang Quan." Jiang Wenyu said slowly, "He doesn't have the brains."

Cai Zhaoyang's breathing became increasingly difficult. Just when he was about to suffocate and die, there was a knock on the door.

A hoarse voice reached Jiang Wenyu's ears through the door: "It's me."

Jiang Wenyu first looked at Tan Shu and then looked at Cai Zhaoyang, who was about to be strangled to death.

Jiang Wenyu pulled down Tan Shuzhiren's hand and motioned for him to let him go.

Cai Zhaoyang touched the pinch mark on his neck, leaned his back against the wall, and breathed rapidly.

Jiang Wenyu looked at the door warily, and there was another knock on the door.

Tan Shu squinted at Cai Zhaoyang, who had not yet recovered, and felt that he could do no harm to Jiang Wenyu, so he stepped forward and opened the door.

Jiang Wenyu stood behind Tan Shu and looked at the girl in green standing in front of the door calmly.

She was wearing a veil, so her appearance could not be seen, and all she could see was a pair of gentle and elegant eyes.

When those eyes saw Jiang Wenyu, excitement was visible to the naked eye.

"Arjun, it's me." The hoarse voice was also filled with excitement.

Jiang Wenyu: "Oh, it's you."

Tan Shu turned his head and looked at her: "Do you know him?"

Jiang Wenyu said honestly: "I have no impression."

Tan Shu was amused by her.

The girl in green's eyes flashed with sadness.

"Can we go in and talk in detail?" the girl in green asked politely.

Jiang Wenyu looked at her for a moment and said friendly: "Of course, please come in."

Cai Zhaoyang, who had regained his breath, calmly greeted the girl in green with his fists raised: "Master of the Xuan family."

The head of the family? Where is the head of the family?

Jiang Wenyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was even more curious about the girl in his heart.

"Get out." The girl in green glanced at Cai Zhaoyang and said calmly.

Cai Zhaoyang lowered his head: "Yes."

There were only three people left in the room, and it was extremely quiet.

Tan Shu folded his arms and leaned lazily against the door wall, his eyes following Jiang Wenyu who was eagerly pouring tea.

Jiang Wenyu generously poured the tea for the girl in green, then poured a cup for himself, holding the teacup with both hands, and took a sip.

The girl in green looked at her for a moment, then raised her hand to pull down her veil.

Jiang Wenyu raised his eyelids to look at her, and saw a red birthmark like a crescent moon on the fair left side of her delicate and beautiful face. “Your Highness, do you still remember me?”

Jiang Wenyu thought quickly, his eyes slightly focused: "Sister Xuan?"

Hearing this familiar title, Lu Xuan smiled: "It's me."

Lu Xuan, Bai Qiong's cousin.

When Lu Xuan was a child, she was often disliked because of the birthmark on her face and her mother's concubine. Bai Qiong often taught others for her and often rescued her. The two had a good relationship.

Jiang Wenyu's apricot eyes showed joy, he rolled his eyes and asked, "Why are you here?"

Lu Xuan sighed softly: "It's a long story."

"When the city was destroyed, the emperor's uncle and the queen's aunt died, and you disappeared. The Dongyao royal family broke the contract and killed all the previous royal families."

At that time, Lu Xuan barely escaped because she was a transparent person and did not attract attention. Later, she was in panic all day long and met Mr. Dongfang, who took her back.

However, that was after Bai Qiong left the Dongfang family.

Jiang Wenyu suddenly realized and asked, "Are you the one who helped Dongfang Quan become the head of the Dongfang family?"

Lu Xuan nodded.

Dongfang Quan's reputation in the world was not good. He was unruly, mixed among flowers, and caused trouble. With his bad reputation, it was not his turn to be the head of the family.

Jiang Wenyu guessed that there should be someone behind him, but he didn't expect it to be Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan asked worriedly: "How have you been doing these years?"

Jiang Wenyu smiled and replied: "It's almost the same as now, how about you?"

Lu Xuan also answered the same question.

Jiang Wenyu got to know everyone in Futian Pavilion, but no one mentioned Lu Xuan, which showed that she was well protected by the Dongfang family.

It's not a bad life.

Jiang Wenyu and Lu Xuan talked about what happened over the years again. At this time, a waiter came to bring snacks. Tan Shu took them and went straight to Jiang Wenyu.

Lu Xuan seemed to have finally lost her patience, and looked at Tan Shu, who had a cold look on her face, and said, "You man, what's the matter with you?"

Tan Shu: "?"

Jiang Wenyu didn't know why.

Lu Xuan held Jiang Wenyu's hand and said with an unhappy expression: "I've been wanting to talk about it from the beginning, why do you, a man, keep staring at our Highness! I know that our Highness is beautiful and dazzling, but in broad daylight he keeps staring at us. It’s very rude to stare at His Highness.”

Jiang Wenyu: "..."

Tan Shu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Lu Xuan gestured to Tan Shu to tell him not to follow him, then pulled Jiang Wenyu to the farthest place from Tan Shu in the room, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, I understand."

"what do you know?"

"You're stuck with him."

Jiang Wenyu couldn't help but laugh: "Who told you, Dongfang Quan?"

Lu Xuan: "That's not important."

"Can't we just be in love?" Jiang Wenyu asked with a crooked eyebrow and a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Xuan was stunned. After a moment, she wondered:

"Your Highness, who do you like? Why do you like the crown prince of Beidu Kingdom? Don't you know that his reputation abroad is not good at all?"

Jiang Wenyu said: "Are you okay?"

"I'm not saying that you can't judge people accurately." Lu Xuan said earnestly, "It's just that Tan Shu is such a weird person. If you get entangled with him, you can't get rid of him. Moreover, he has always been arrogant, doing things his own way and doing evil things. Anyway, I'm worried that you will be deceived by him."

Jiang Wenyu blinked and tilted his head slightly, is that so?

Lu Xuan frowned and said seriously: "Your Highness, please don't let your sex drive you crazy."

Jiang Wenyu never thought that one day she would be said to be so lustful that she would faint.

Jiang Wenyu glanced at Tan Shu who was staring here from the corner of his eye, and agreed seriously: "He is indeed good-looking."

Lu Xuan: "."

Shouldn't we review ourselves under normal circumstances? Why did she take the opportunity to boast! His Highness was indeed deceived.

"Your Highness."

Before Lu Xuan could say anything, she was intercepted by Jiang Wenyu: "Sister Xuan, just call me Jiang Jiang."

Jiang Wenyu turned his eyes slightly and asked, "What's Zhu Lifeng's situation now?"

Dongfang Quan took advantage of Zhu Lifeng's departure from Beidu Kingdom and set up a dark net to catch him, waiting for him to fall into the trap. A few days ago, Zhu Lifeng's people wanted to take Jiang Wenyu away, but it seemed that Dongfang Quan failed.

"He was rescued by people from the Xuanying Sect." Lu Xuan pursed her lips and said.

Jiang Wenyu said thoughtfully: "Where is Dongyao Kingdom?"

Although the Dongyao royal family has blocked the news, all parties in Futian Pavilion have their own spies.

"The Empress Dowager Zhang heard that Zhu Lifeng had left Dongyao, so she secretly undermined Zhu Lifeng's power." Lu Xuan said softly, "The powers are unfair, and now Zhu Lifeng is probably having a headache."

Jiang Wenyu nodded and asked in a low voice: "Did Sikong Lou join forces with Queen Mother Zhang?"

Lu Xuan paused and said: "Sikong Lou is eager to become the master of Futian Pavilion, and Empress Dowager Zhang wants to avoid future troubles forever. They are all targeting you."

The answer is to join forces.

Even if they don't fall off the cliff that day, there will be an endless stream of killers who can break through the attacks of the men in black.

"If the tree falls and the hozen disperses, the matter of Futian Pavilion can be settled, but Dongyao Kingdom will probably need Sister Xuan's help." Jiang Wenyu weighed in.

Lu Xuan nodded: "There are many people from Futian Pavilion who are in high positions in Dongyao Kingdom. Don't worry about this."

Jiang Wenyu spread his arms and hugged her: "Sister Xuan, I'm really happy that you are still alive."

Lu Xuan hugged her back and said with a smile, "Me too."

Seeing this scene, Tan Shu raised his eyebrows.

She is very proactive with others.

Tan Shu pulled up a chair and sat down, leaning back on the chair, looking at Jiang Wenyu with a relaxed expression. Suddenly, his mind became dizzy, he felt the world was spinning, his vision went dark, and he suddenly lost consciousness.

Lu Xuan was shocked and hurriedly let go of Jiang Wenyu and said: "He..."

Jiang Wenyu turned around to look, his heart skipped a beat, and he stepped forward to help Tan Shu, only to see that his eyes were closed, his brows were furrowed, and there was a trickle of sweat on his forehead.

Isn’t it time for the Nirvana poison to take effect yet?

"Jiang Jiang, I'm going to find the doctor." Lu Xuan ran out expressionlessly.

Jiang Wenyu didn't have time to stop her.

"Prince? Crown Prince?" Jiang Wenyu called several times, but Tan Shu didn't respond.

Jiang Wenyu frowned and suddenly remembered that the one-year deadline was getting closer and closer.

She had been busy with Futian Pavilion and Dongyao Kingdom, so she didn't pay much attention to his poison.

Jiang Wenyu helped Tan Shu onto the couch and gently put him down. She sat on the edge of the couch and slid her fingers to his pulse, focusing on feeling it.

The pulse that was like a broken line last time has now become a string, with ups and downs.

"Prince?"

No sign of sobriety.

A strange look flashed across Jiang Wenyu's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

She looked at him steadily, her dark eyes reflecting the man's handsome face, unable to discern any specific emotions.

After a while, Jiang Wenyu moved his eyes, stretched out his hands, and held Tan Shu's cheeks in his hands.

Even colder than last time.
