Moonlight and wind

"These days, I have bribed all the inns and taverns in Yunlan City," Yuwen Lin took a sip of tea, took a breath and continued, "Since you were brought into this governor's mansion, a large number of foreigners have poured into Yunlan City, whether they are from the North or the South. Anyway, almost everyone from the entire Wu Kingdom has come!"

"It's good to have money!" Shan Boyu leaned against the door and listened to Yu Wenlin's report.

"Ignore him," Shan Zimo rolled his eyes at him, "What exactly did you find out about those people?"

"The first group of people to come to Yunlan City were from Jinxiufang. According to the spies hired by the inn, they accepted this mission under the instructions of Miss Yunfang."

"Of course!" Shan Zimo said with a smile, "After all, Miss Yunfang still has a side quest with me. If I go offline, she won't be able to follow up with me!"

"What side quest?" Yu Wenlin asked. "Don't ask," Shan Boyu said nonchalantly, "You won't understand even if I tell you. This is the young master's secret!"

"Go on, who else?"

"Some women came to our teahouse. I couldn't understand their speech, they were talking a lot. Judging from their clothes, they must be from southern Xinjiang." Yuwenlin said lightly, but Shan Zimo and Qu Xuanyue were both shocked.

"Miss Qi, Young Master Shan," he could see the nervousness of the two at a glance, "I think they already know that Master Zhiye forged the dagger for the Luohui Sect. We met them here, and there is a possibility that they are guarding the dagger in secret. You two don't need to be so nervous." After hearing Yijianhui's explanation, the two relaxed.

"There is also a group of very strange people who wear masks all day long. Don't they think it's very eye-catching to walk around the streets like this?" Yu Wenlin didn't understand. "Are they trying to keep a low profile? Or are they afraid that others won't see them?"

"It's them!" He was a little excited at first glance, "Those are the people from Secret Realm Square. Bao Datong and I were kidnapped by them!"

"It seems that the Secret Realm Square is stronger." Shan Zimo thought.

"Besides these, guess who else I saw?" Yu Wenlin asked mysteriously.

"Who?" Shan Zimo's curiosity was also aroused.

"I saw Ziyun in the crowd!"

"What?" Shan Boyu jumped up. "Ziyun also came down the mountain? Did he say anything?"

"No, when I saw him, he was leaving with a group of people," Yu Wenlin was a little disappointed, "but he turned around and looked at me, as if he didn't want me to tell you that he had been here."

"It's probably because the hall master was worried about you that he asked Ziyun to go down the mountain urgently to rescue you, young master!" Shan Boyu was very moved.

Shan Zimo smiled knowingly, "The old man is not bad!"

"Master Shan," the eunuch poked his head out from the crowd, "don't forget, there is also our Princess Jinyu, she is always paying attention to you, Master! Especially this time, Master Shan got out of trouble, Princess Jinyu played an indispensable role!"

"Please go back and tell Princess Jinyu, Shan Zimo is very grateful!" Shan Zimo stood up and saluted the eunuch. "Oh! This is so painful for me!" The eunuch quickly lifted Shan Zimo's hands.

"What should we do next?" they asked Shan Zimo. "Now so many forces have gathered in Yunlan City. It is still unknown whether they are enemies or friends. Although we have escaped from the prefectural mansion, we have not left Yunlan City. We still have to be careful." Everyone nodded.

Just as everyone was thinking of a solution, Bao Qingjian and Bao Datong cautiously appeared in front of their door with fake smiles on their faces, "Everyone is here, can you come in and sit for a while?" Bao Qingjian bent over, rubbed his hands, and looked at his father-in-law. He was not asking for Shan Zimo's opinion, but his father-in-law's consent.

"Young Master Shan, what do you think?" The eunuch folded his hands in front of him and asked Shan Zimo, who was sitting on the chair, respectfully.

"Come on, I haven't come to find you yet, but you came here on your own!" Shan Zimo put on a wicked smile and winked at Shan Boyu who was standing beside him. Shan Boyu understood what he meant and found a bundle of ropes in the room and brought them to Bao Qingjian and Bao Datong. Shan Zimo raised his head to them, indicating that they should tie him up, and if they could hang him up like bacon, it would be more in line with Shan Zimo's idea.

"Tie! Tie!" Bao Qingjian picked up the rope on the ground and tied up his son Bao Datong skillfully. "Young Master Shan, take a look. Are you satisfied?" The flattering smile on his face made Shan Zimo feel nauseous!

"Master Shan, before leaving Yunlan City, why don't you stay in the prefect's mansion temporarily? It's safer than staying outside." The eunuch leaned over and said softly. "Yes, yes!" Bao Qingjian quickly agreed, "Master Shan, you can stay as long as you want."

"But I killed the Right Prime Minister's men and lost his treasure. I'm afraid the Right Prime Minister will misunderstand you if you treat me like this!" Shan Zimo looked at Bao Qingjian with a hint of amusement.

"What left prime minister or right prime minister? I never form any clique or take sides. I am only dedicated to the people of Yunlan City, working diligently and conscientiously!" Bao Qingjian's words were very moving, and the tied-up Bao Datong also nodded repeatedly.

"Since Mr. Bao said so, then we are sorry to bother you!" Shan Zimo stood up. Bao Qingjian thought he was going to salute him and hurriedly returned the salute. However, Shan Zimo just stood up and stretched, then left the hall on his own. The others also left, leaving only Bao Qingjian, Bao Datong and the eunuch. The three of them smiled at each other, feeling very embarrassed.

"I was in danger twice before and almost died. How come no one came to save me?" Shan Zimo asked Shan Boyu who was standing beside him while lying on the bed. Shan Boyu tilted his head and thought for a while, "Maybe they thought it was not worth it!"

"Huh?" Shan Zimo sat up suddenly. "My life is about to be lost, isn't it worth their effort? I was arrested, but so many people came!"

"Ah, this?" Shan Boyu didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Also, after I was injured, the old man didn't help me, but this time he let Ziyun go down the mountain?" Shan Zimo became more and more angry as he spoke, "Princess Jinyu is the same, I don't believe that their spies are only in Yunlan City!"

"Master Shan, don't worry so much," he heard the noisy sound next door, and came to Shan Zimo's room from next door, "To put it bluntly, Master Shan may not like it, it doesn't matter whether you live or die, what matters is where you die!"

After these words were spoken, Shan Zimo and Shan Boyu were both stunned, "What do you mean?" Shan Zimo felt very unhappy.

"Young Master, haven't you figured it out yet?" He smiled slightly, "Behind you is the struggle between the left and right prime ministers!"

"I haven't even met either of them, how could I be the reason for their fight?"
