Tianwu City.

The sky was gloomy, and an autumn rain had dyed the blue bricks and tiles a layer of black, with drops of water dripping down the eaves.

In the alley outside the Wuwei Division.

"Didn't you go to deal with the Eight Dao Clan? Why did you capture two barbarians?"

Xiao Xiang asked in surprise.

Shen Yian threw Alonso and the leader to the ground and said lightly, "I caught them when I met them on the road. I have sealed their cultivation."

The reason why the two were not sent to Guimian for direct soul search was mainly because of their identities. Their strength and status were definitely high-level among the barbarians. When the two armies fought, there would definitely be losses on both sides.

When necessary, they can be used to exchange for captured generals or other important figures. This can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the two parties. Interrogation is interrogation, but direct execution will not be carried out.

Shen Yian has always felt that this kind of tacit understanding is pretty "shitty", because few people would care about the lives of ordinary soldiers. After they were captured, the best outcome might be to become slaves.

run away?

In the face of absolute strength, resistance will only lead to large-scale massacre.

"That's amazing. He managed to capture a high-ranking general of the barbarians with just a flick of his hand. How did he do that?"

Xiao Xiang turned the leader over with his feet and was somewhat surprised to see the patterns on his armor.

The robe Alonso was wearing next to him was also high-end. She remembered that this style seemed to be exclusive to the Grand Mage of the Barbarian Court.

A high-ranking barbarian general and a barbarian court wizard.

If this happened during wartime, catching just one of them would be enough to turn an ordinary soldier into a powerful official on the spot.

After a pause, Xiao Xiang's face gradually became ugly: "You won't lead the front line..."

I hope that brat would start a war in advance just to catch someone!

"No."

Shen Yian shook his head: "The barbarians seem to be waiting for something and don't want to start a war now."

"then you…"

Before Xiao Xiang could finish her words, Shen Yian said quietly, "Do you believe me if I say I caught him by chance?"

Then he told Xiao Xiang about the confrontation between the two fleets at sea and the storm. Of course, he did not mention a word about the existence of Chiwen.

Xiao Xiang's face was full of suspicion. It would be strange if she believed it. There must be some important content that the brat didn't tell her.

"By the way, I heard that the King of the South China Sea came to Tianwu City. Did anything happen?" Shen Yian raised his eyebrows.

The mastermind behind the Thousand Dream Flowers incident was none other than his Sixth Uncle.

Seeing that Shen Yian changed the subject, Xiao Xiang did not continue to ask, and said: "After he arrived, he went directly to the palace to meet the emperor. His Majesty's safety was in the charge of the Dragon Guards. I don't know what they talked about."

"After leaving the palace, I was the one who sent him to a temporary residence. We didn't have any communication during that time, and then it was over."

Xiao Xiang shrugged.

"I thought my father would take him down on the spot." Shen Yian couldn't help but mutter.

"What do you mean by taking it down on the spot? Tell me quickly."

Xiao Xiang's eyes lit up, knowing that the brat must have interrogated something out of the captured person.

"You'll find out tomorrow."

Shen Yian deliberately kept the secret.

Shen Jinbai wants to use the Thousand Dream Flowers to cause a riot in Tianwu City. The current tranquility is just a precursor to the coming storm.

Tomorrow is the old man’s birthday feast and the whole city will celebrate. It only happens once a year and the excitement is comparable to the Spring Festival.

The more lively it is, the bigger the commotion will be. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and no "villain" will miss it.

The answer to the biggest question in my mind should be revealed tomorrow.

Why did Shen Jinbai prepare for this?

Knowing that there is a dead end ahead, you still keep moving forward. What could be so attractive?

"you!"

Xiao Xiang clenched his fists, looking like he was about to hit someone.

"I'll leave the person to you. I'm leaving now~"

It was not advisable to stay here for long. After leaving a few words, Shen Yian quickly left the alley.

Xiao Xiang held his forehead helplessly. It seemed that the current situation would not be resolved tomorrow.

Prince Chu's Mansion.

The first thing to do when I come back is to hug Ye Liyan.

In just three days, I missed you so much.

Ye Liyan knew very well that after the war, her husband would be away from the palace for a longer time, so she cherished every minute he was there.

At dinner time, with the beauty sitting beside him and a glass of wine in his mouth, the warm atmosphere made Shen Yian feel extremely relaxed physically and mentally.

Tomorrow is the old man’s birthday party, so I need to get up early and go to bed early at night.

"Snapped."

In the room, Shen Yian turned off the movie "The Luminous Prince II" with a slap. Being too bright can be a disadvantage sometimes, as it can make it difficult for people to see clearly.

In the darkness, there was a sound of "moaning", and then there was an autumn wind and rain. The red leaves fluttered in the wind and rain, and they could not fall to the ground for a long time.

On the other side, the temporary residence of the King of Nanhai.

"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged according to your plan."

The tall and thin man lowered his head and spoke respectfully.

"Well, I understand."

The lights flickered. Shen Jinbai, dressed in white, sat at the desk, flipping through a book with an expressionless face.

The tall and thin man continued, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report to you. The people below can't contact Ah Shu."

"Isn't he in charge of Qianmenghua? How come he can't be contacted all of a sudden?"

Shen Jinbai put down the book in his hand and frowned.

"I suspect that Ah Shu's mission has failed." The tall and thin man whispered.

Apart from the parties involved, only the prince and he knew about the kidnapping of the fifth prince Shen Tengfeng.

"Haha, as expected, whether when he was a child or now, my second brother always thinks things through very carefully."

Shen Jinbai suddenly laughed foolishly.

The tall and thin man clenched his fist: "Your Majesty, what about Ah Shu..."

"Just assume he's dead."

As he was laughing, Shen Jinbai stopped smiling and waved his hand coldly.

"My subordinate understands."

The tall and thin man could not hide the sadness in his eyes.

The room was quiet for a moment, and Shen Jinbai suddenly said in a gentle tone: "Ah Xin, with your skills, it is not difficult to leave Tianwu City now. Tomorrow is destined to be a dead end. Have you really thought it through?"

"Your Highness, if it weren't for you, your subordinates would have died on that ship long ago. So no matter where you go, your Highness, I will follow you, regardless of life or death." Gao Xin answered without any hesitation.

He should have died a long time ago, but he only met a noble person and is now where he is today.

"Thank you."

Shen Jinbai smiled silently.

"Your Highness, you are too polite." Gao Xin said hurriedly.

"Tonight, there is no master or subject, only you and me. Go get some wine. This king and you will not return until we are drunk."

Shen Jinbai swept the papers and books on the desk to the ground and laughed.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Gao Xin grinned and quickly walked out of the study to get the wine.

Shen Jinbai sat there alone, taking off a broken jade pendant from his waist, his eyes full of determination, muttering: "Wait for me..."
