Xiao Chuyun should be in Yuzhou now.

From what he said, he wants to take her to Yuzhou?

Shen Nanzhi originally guessed that the reason this bastard trapped himself here was to wait for Xiao Chuyun to return from Yuzhou.

Taking her to Yuzhou on their own initiative... Could it be that they wanted to do something else in Yuzhou?

You should know that the Zhou family of Yuzhou played an important role in quelling the rebellion of the Three Kings.

Back then, Yuzhou Mu Zhou Zhengyong led the Yuzhou garrison in full force to help the Duke of Zhenguo defend the capital, which allowed the current emperor to turn defeat into victory.

As a result, the Zhou family gained the trust and respect of Emperor Shunqing. The current governor of Yuzhou has at least 300,000 elite soldiers under his command, and is a veritable prince.

This time, Xiao Chuyun was ordered to go to Yuzhou secretly with the eunuch Liu Shouxin, saying that they were investigating the case of embezzlement by Zhou Yunxian, the son of Zhou Zhengyong. But who knows if this was not an excuse to secretly check whether Zhou Zhengyong had any ulterior motives.

Shen Nanzhi could guess without thinking that Xiao Chuyun's trip would be difficult, but Xiao Yanchu wanted to take her to join in the fun.

What is he thinking?

Shen Nanzhi frowned and looked at him: "What if I don't go?"

Xiao Yanchu smiled and said, "Of course, I am giving Miss Shen the choice, not making the decision for her."

Looking at his smiling eyes, Shen Nanzhi felt that things were not that simple.

Before she could think about it, she heard Xiao Yanchu smile and said, "Miss Shen can choose whether to cooperate with us or to be knocked out or drugged and be taken all the way by us."

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

What kind of choice is this?

Shen Nanzhi wanted to hit someone after hearing this.

Xiao Yanchu, who was standing opposite to her, didn't seem to notice the anger in Shen Nanzhi's eyes. He looked at her with a smile and asked, "What do you think, Miss Shen?"

Shen Nanzhi had a deep understanding of the fact that he was at the mercy of others at this moment.

She clenched her fists and was about to speak, but she heard Yuewu's hurried footsteps outside.

"Sir, this is not good."

Yuewu paused at the door, and when she saw Shen Nanzhi, her words suddenly stopped.

Xiao Yanchu turned to look at her: "What's the matter?"

Seeing that he had no intention of avoiding Shen Nanzhi, Yuewu continued, "A lot of soldiers suddenly came outside, saying they were looking for bandits. The third brother just brought back news that two groups of people were recently found investigating Qin Suyi."

At this point, Yue Wu looked at Shen Nanzhi cautiously before continuing, "One group is the secret guards of the Zhenguogong Mansion, and the other group is the Seventh Prince's men. Just now, our people saw the Seventh Prince's spies following Qin Suyi all the way here, so the arrival of these officers and soldiers should also be related to the Seventh Prince."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but frown.

She didn't expect that the first person to find her was Xiao Qian'an.

Shen Nanzhi certainly wouldn't take it for granted that Xiao Qian'an went to such great lengths to find her.

As early as when she was trapped in Xiao Qian'an's villa and almost died together with Xiao Qian'an, Shen Nanzhi thought that Xiao Qian'an should be reborn like her.

Only in this way can the various differences between the previous life and the previous life be reasonably explained.

After Shen Nanzhi was reborn at the foot of Qingyun Mountain and chose another route to return to Beijing, Xiao Qian'an also followed him to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

He said that he wanted to confirm Xiao Chuyun's safety, but in fact, given the hostile relationship between him and Xiao Chuyun, it would be good enough for him not to hope that the other party would die. How could he let the seriously injured Xiao Qian'an ignore his own safety and rush to visit him in a hurry? He was obviously puzzled as to why Shen Nanzhi was different from in the previous life, took a different path and missed the chance to save him, so he came here to find out!

Shen Nanzhi still remembers the first time she saw him.

She greeted him, but Shen Nanzhi only responded with a long silence.

At that time, Xiao Qian'an did not speak immediately, but his gaze seemed to have substance as it fell on Shen Nanzhi.

Even though Shen Nanzhi lowered her eyebrows as per the rules, she could still feel the heat of that gaze, which made her scalp tingle.

That was definitely not the first time they met, and the look in the eyes of the woman who was a complete stranger to him.

When Xiao Qian'an, who was rescued by Shen Nanzhi in his previous life, woke up in the side courtyard, he was also amazed when he saw Shen Nanzhi for the first time, but not like he was that time.

Moreover, when she accidentally met his eyes, she caught a flash of sadness, melancholy, and irrepressible surprise in his gaze.

Shen Nanzhi felt something was strange at that time.

It was just that she had just been reborn, and there were too many things to distract Shen Nanzhi's mind, so she didn't have time to delve into it.

Later, on the day of the flower-viewing banquet at the *** Mansion.

No matter how calm and reserved Xiao Qian'an was in his previous life, he could not hide the youthful vigor and vitality of a young man.

But when Shen Nanzhi saw Xiao Qian'an that day, his eyes were like a deep pool, as if they were silent after going through all the vicissitudes of life and could not stir up the slightest ripple.

It was clearly still that young face, but Shen Nanzhi saw some of his shadow in his previous life when he seized the throne.

There was also the encounter in the side yard where Shen Nanzhi was imprisoned in the previous life, and the accidental eye contact by the Taiye Lake...

Almost every time Shen Nanzhi meets Xiao Qian'an, she is reminded of important memories from her previous life.

Moreover, the complicated look in his eyes when he looked at her also made Shen Nanzhi feel uneasy.

If it happened once or twice, it was Shen Nanzhi's illusion. Then with so many abnormal signs added together, Shen Nanzhi should have thought of it even if he was slow-witted.

But at the beginning she thought that Xiao Qian'an cared so much about Jiang Yanran in his previous life and did so many things to pave the way for Jiang Yanran. If he was also reborn, he would definitely protect Jiang Yanran at the first opportunity and would not allow Shen Nanzhi to deal with the Jiang family and Jiang Yanran and her siblings like this.

Influenced by this preconceived idea, Shen Nanzhi did not delve into what was wrong with Xiao Qian'an.

But what if Xiao Qian'an doesn't like Jiang Yanran either?

It's just like what he did to her in the beginning, it was all exploitation and calculation!

Therefore, even if he was reborn, he would not care about Jiang Yanran's life or death if Jiang Yanran could not provide him with effective value!

After all, in Xiao Qian'an's eyes, all he cared about was his imperial power. He was a hypocrite who would do anything to achieve his goals.

If you think about it this way, many things make sense.

Including the current matter of Qin Suyi being followed.

At this time in his previous life, Xiao Qian'an should not have known that Qin Suyi was a member of Prince Ning's party, otherwise, Qin Suyi would not have had the opportunity to be favored by the six palaces and kill Emperor Shunqing.

It was precisely because of the memories of his previous life that he knew about the existence of the remnants of Prince Ning that Xiao Qi'an in this life, like Shen Nanzhi, had already been looking for Qin Suyi's whereabouts before Qin Suyi entered the palace.

So, I took the opportunity to check these two places.

"Sir, the soldiers are already downstairs. The Third Brother will soon be unable to stop them. Let's retreat quickly."

Yuewu's words interrupted Shen Nanzhi's thoughts.

She turned to look at Xiao Yanchu, and was very curious whether Xiao Yanchu would run away first or take her with him.

No matter which one it is, it's not a good thing for Shen Nanzhi.

If it was the former, she would most likely fall into Xiao Qian'an's hands.

Given the delusions Xiao Qian'an had about her before, Shen Nanzhi didn't think Xiao Qian'an would be "kind" enough to send her back.

Maybe he saw what Shen Nanzhi was thinking, but Xiao Yanchu was not in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Shen Nanzhi with a smile: "Where is Miss Shen? Do you want to stay or follow me?"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at his slightly raised fingertips, and couldn't help but sneered: "Do I have a choice?"

What Xiao Yanchu gave her were never multiple-choice questions.

This man is vicious, cruel, overbearing and annoying, but compared to falling into Xiao Qian'an's hands, it has now become a choice that Shen Nanzhi has to make.

Xiao Yanchu seemed not to notice the mockery in Shen Nanzhi's eyes. Not only was he not annoyed, he also smiled and waved at Yuewu and said, "Yuewu, look carefully. I am not trying to kidnap Miss Shen. It is Miss Shen who insists on going with me."

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

The innocent Yuewu at the side echoed with a look of surprise: "Great! Then I will carry Miss Shen on my back."

After seeing Yuewu's physical strength far beyond that of an ordinary person, Shen Nanzhi, who was now having difficulty walking, did not bother to be polite with her. She stood up, and Yuewu carried her on her back very easily.

Xiao Yanchu walked in front, Yuewu and Shen Nanzhi followed closely behind, and the three of them walked all the way to the first floor.

As soon as he came down, Shen Nanzhi heard an argument outside.

As expected, some soldiers tried to break in. The man Yuewu called Lao San was circling outside, but this was not a solution.

Since Xiao Qian'an had arranged for people to come here in the name of searching for bandits, it meant that he was certain that Prince Ning was a traitor here, and these people would not withdraw until they achieved their goal.

Xiao Yanchu walked up to the Buddhist shrine in the lobby on the first floor and activated the mechanism by raising his hand.

A stone door suddenly appeared on the originally flat wall, and when you walked in, there was a dark secret passage.

"Miss Shen, the secret passage is a bit narrow, please come closer to me and be careful not to knock your head."

Before carrying Shen Nanzhi in, Yuewu did not forget to give her a careful reminder.

Shen Nanzhi nodded, leaned down a little, and got closer to Yuewu's shoulder.

Afraid that Yuewu couldn't see it, she whispered again, "Thank you."

Xiao Yanchu's lightness skill was very good. His feet were so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

But even though Yuewu was carrying Shen Nanzhi on her back, she didn't fall behind much.

The secret passage was not only cramped but also pitch black. Shen Nanzhi's instinctive fear of darkness instantly surged up.

But fortunately, Yuewu was there. Although her steps were fast, her body was very steady while carrying Shen Nanzhi on her back.

As if she was afraid that Shen Nanzhi would be scared, Yuewu whispered to comfort her: "Don't worry, Miss Shen, we will get out soon and no one will catch up with us."

The secret passage was so dark that Shen Nanzhi couldn't even sense Xiao Yanchu's presence since he entered it.

I don't know whether he has run far away or is following me not far away.

Regardless of whether he was there or not, Shen Nanzhi asked curiously, "Do you often run away like this?"

Hearing this, Yue Wu laughed and said, "When I was little, I used to run around with you, but now it's not the case anymore."

Shen Nanzhi asked in a gentle and persuasive way, "When you were a child, have you been with your master since you were a child until now?"

Hearing this, Yue Wu, who was concentrating on getting on with her journey, answered without a second thought: "Of course not, all these years, Master has been..."

Yuewu had just started talking when Shen Nanzhi pricked up his ears to hear the most crucial part. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yanchu suddenly said indifferently in the secret passage: "Yuewu, am I too lenient with you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Nanzhi clearly felt that Yuewu, who was carrying her steadily, suddenly stiffened.

"Please forgive me, sir. I know I was wrong!"

Yue Wu said in panic: "I will never dare to do that again!"

There was no more sound coming from the front, but Yuewu had subconsciously held her breath, and she didn't dare to utter a single word along the way.

Stirred by this overwhelming feeling of oppression, even Shen Nanzhi was reluctant to speak to embarrass Yue Wu.

I don’t know how long this secret passage has been running or how long it is.

Shen Nanzhi felt like he was holding his breath and was about to pass out when he finally saw the light coming from the front.

Xiao Yanchu has already opened the exit of the secret passage.

After staying in the darkness for a long time, Shen Nanzhi finally followed Yuewu out. Before her eyes had time to adjust, Yuewu put her on a carriage.

Xiao Yanchu was sitting opposite her. As soon as Shen Nanzhi sat down, Yuewu tightened the reins and urged the horse to gallop out.

Just like the carriage that kidnapped Shen Nanzhi before, the windows on both sides of this carriage were also sealed. Only the door curtain could be opened, but now it had been pressed down, leaving not even a gap. Shen Nanzhi didn't even know where she was being taken again.

Compared to her nervousness, Xiao Yanchu, who was sitting opposite her, still looked calm and composed.

After running all the way, even though Shen Nanzhi was carried on Yuewu's back, his sleeves were inevitably rubbed with dirt from the secret passage, but his snow-white clothes were spotless.

Perhaps sensing Shen Nanzhi's gaze, Xiao Yanchu suddenly turned to look at Shen Nanzhi, smiling and said, "Miss Shen, do you think we are eloping?"

Shen Nanzhi glared at him unhappily before asking the question that had made her think all the way.

"What were you planning when you arranged for Qin Suyi to join the Jiang family?"

With Qin Suyi's looks and skills, how could she really submit to Jiang Shiyan?

Moreover, in her previous life, Qin Suyi entered the palace and her target was Emperor Shunqing.

Shen Nanzhi really couldn't figure out what was worth their planning about Jiang Shiyan.

Xiao Yanchu lazily leaned against the side wall, one hand resting on the soft pillow and the other supporting his chin. He looked so leisurely and calm, as if he had come out for a walk to relax. There was no sign of him running away at all.

There was a smile in his black eyes, and he looked at Shen Nanzhi with curved eyebrows: "Guess."

Here it is again!

If she could guess, why would she ask him?

For a moment, Shen Nanzhi almost couldn't resist the urge to kick him down.

But she also knew that she couldn't kick it.

Maybe before she even raised her leg, he would have easily resolved it, just like the bamboo basket, and in the end she would have brought shame upon herself.

Shen Nanzhi, who had never felt so aggrieved, no longer wanted to see such a fox mask in front of her, so she simply turned her head away.

It was at this moment that she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from outside the carriage.

"Who are you? Stop the car!"

A scolding suddenly sounded.

The moment she heard that voice, Shen Nanzhi almost cried for joy.

Infinite hope suddenly emerged from my heart that was already in despair.

It’s her cousin Changan!
