After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

The village chief sighed after hearing this.

Shen Jinyao also nodded.

It turned out that when Xiang Hongxuan was fighting with the villagers outside, Aunt Liu and others surrounded Shen Jinyao.

They tied Shen Jinyao up and took her into the house.

After entering the house, Aunt Liu and others began to interrogate Shen Jinyao.

It was then that Shen Jinyao realized that the people in Changshou Village did not want her life.

They just wanted to know who sent Shen Jinyao and what her purpose was.

So Shen Jinyao asked to meet with the village chief.

At the beginning, the village chief was more cautious, thinking that Shen Jinyao was the same as those who had caused trouble before.

Shen Jinyao tried to say the name of the third prince.

Unexpectedly, the village chief actually untied Shen Jinyao.

The village chief looked at Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan. Although he didn't know Xiang Hongxuan's true identity, he thought that he was also a subordinate of the third prince.

"Ever since the Second Prince disappeared, our village has never been at peace."

"At the beginning, people kept coming to the village to cause trouble, forcing us to take out weapons and knives. They didn't want to kill us, they just forced us to take action."

"Later, more and more people came whose identities were unclear."

"Until a few days ago, news came out that we were planning to rebel under the name of remnants of the previous dynasty."

Xiang Hongxuan sneered when he heard this and said, "There's no need to sound so aggrieved, village chief. Aren't you all aggrieved?"

The village chief narrowed his eyes and said, "This young master is right. So what if our entire village is made up of remnants of the previous dynasty?"

"We never thought of rebelling."

Xiang Hongxuan: "You haven't thought about rebelling now, have you?"

They are just waiting for the right time.

The village chief suddenly looked at Xiang Hongxuan with sharp eyes, and then smiled.

He said: "Sir, why are you so aggressive? Whether Changshou Village rebels or not, and when it rebels, these are not important at the moment."

"The important thing is that someone wants to put the blame on our Changshou Village."

"Also, they want to use the Longevity Village to hold you back."

Shen Jinyao: "What did the village chief say?"

The village chief nodded and said, "Of course, whoever benefits from it will be the one who does it."

The third prince's mission is to track down the second prince.

The whereabouts of the second prince are now unknown, and at the same time, news of a rebellion in Changshou Village has been revealed.

According to common sense, even if a small village chief rebelled, it was not worth mentioning at all.

But unfortunately, at this moment, the current emperor is both sensitive and suspicious.

It is better to kill by mistake than to kill by mistake.

The emperor must be aware that Changshou Village has been able to survive for such a long time in this dynasty.

Then the emperor's actions this time may also be intended to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

but……

The third prince certainly doesn’t think so.

Therefore, when the village chief knew that Shen Jinyao was the third prince's man, he immediately laid down his weapon.

The village chief was very clear that the situation would only get worse.

Although the small Changshou Village is of average strength, its identity is very sensitive.

If you are not careful, you will be taken advantage of by others.

So it is not a solution for Changshou Village to keep fighting alone.

So the village chief discussed with the villagers and decided to join the third prince.

The village chief currently has no better solution. For the sake of the lives of all the villagers, they can only trust Shen Jinyao.

Originally, they planned to treat Shen Jinyao to delicious food and drinks, and let her report to the Third Prince at dawn.

Before they could say a few words, the young man came back.

Shen Jinyao looked at the village chief and Xiang Hongxuan, neither of whom spoke, and she coughed lightly.

"Village chief, this is General Xiang."

The village chief, who was originally glaring at Xiang Hongxuan, immediately relaxed his expression when he heard that it was General Xiang.

The village chief bowed to Xiang Hongxuan.

"It's General Xiang, I've heard a lot about you."

Xiang Hongxuan glanced at the village chief, but ultimately didn't say anything unpleasant.

"Since you two already know the details of my Changshou Village, please take me to meet the Third Prince."

This is also the village chief's purpose.

The village chief was skeptical about Shen Jinyao's words, but if it was Xiang Hongxuan, then the person opposite could only be the third prince.

Everyone in Jiuzhou Kingdom knows that the one who has the best relationship with Xiang Hongxuan is the third prince.

Xiang Hongxuan didn't say anything.

The village chief was not angry either. After all, Xiang Hongxuan was as famous for his military achievements as for his temper.

He simply looked directly at Shen Jinyao.

Shen Jinyao pretended not to see it.

Her current situation is not much better than that of Changshou Village.

It was only because of that mine that she was able to have a say in front of the Third Prince.

After all, the current Shen family is not the same Shen family as before.

If it weren't for the Shen family and her father, who still had value to be used, the Shen family would have been wiped out as early as when they were exiled.

I guess the grass on the grave is now one meter high.

but……

Shen Jinyao wondered if Shen Maoshan had told her a secret?

Otherwise, Shen Jinyao felt that it was a bit far-fetched if he just wanted the Shen family to be spies in Wuming Village?

She seemed to have thought of something, but felt something was wrong.

The village chief saw that the two people opposite him were ignoring him, but he was not angry.

"In that case, you two should rest here for a while."

He had already put drugs in the tea of Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan.

As long as the two of them stay here, I don’t believe that the Third Prince will not come to look for someone?

Shen Jinyao stood up and said, "You're too polite, Village Chief. General Xiang and I will be leaving soon."

Xiang Hongxuan did not move.

Shen Jinyao looked at Xiang Hongxuan in confusion.

Xiang Hongxuan was still drinking tea calmly.

The village chief clapped his hands and laughed, saying, "Haha, Miss Shen, you still don't know that I have already put drugs in your tea."

"Since you are unwilling to take me to see the Third Prince."

"Then I can only wait for the Third Prince to come and see me. Speaking of which, I haven't seen anyone from the royal family for a long time."

"The last time I met him was with General Xiang."

Shen Jinyao watched the village chief finish his words and said, "Village chief, I thought you were a gentleman."

"It's just a pity that ordinary drugs can't trap me."

It turned out that Shen Jinyao didn't think there was anything wrong when she was drinking tea.

But Lanlan gave her a few bottles of medicine powder before she went out.

Tell her to drink some in advance whenever she eats other people's food.

She wouldn't be drugged.

but……

Shen Jinyao looked at Xiang Hongxuan and saw that he was still calm, but he didn't stand up.

"General Xiang, can you still walk?"

Xiang Hongxuan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Shen Jinyao, and said, "Sit down."

Shen Jinyao was puzzled and didn't know what Xiang Hongxuan was up to.

At first, the village chief felt regretful that Shen Jinyao was not drugged, but when he saw Xiang Hongxuan couldn't stand up, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this is somewhat unethical.

But given their skills, there's no way to stop them without resorting to some shady tactics.

"what!"

There was a wailing sound outside.

"Three princes..."

It turned out to be the third prince.
