Chapter 432: The Wolf Enters the Tiger's Mouth

Shen Ke's servant was scolded, but he didn't dare to get angry. He smiled and said, "Master, where are we going next? Are we going directly to find the prince?"

"Of course, we're going to Sangluo City, the capital of Linzhou." Shen Ke's mouth twitched, and his tone was grim. "As a younger brother, I'm having such a hard time. My good brother must at least take me in for a few days!"

If I don't go to Shen Nian, how can I find a chance to take revenge on him?

Shen Ke narrowed his eyes and looked towards the direction of Sangluo City.

If it weren't for his good elder brother, would he have escaped from the capital like a stray dog now?

The servant was a little worried, "But Master, the prince has always been against us. If we just go to his house like this, wouldn't we be like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth?"

This young master has sent people to kill the prince several times, and the prince will definitely hold a grudge.

Most people wouldn't even have time to hide, so how could the enemy come to their doorstep?

The servant was a little worried, but he knew his young master's temper. What he said was what he meant, and it was useless for others to object.

Shen Ke smiled sinisterly, "Don't worry, my good brother is not a reckless person. I will go to him in a big way, but for the sake of his reputation as the governor, he won't do anything to me!"

At this point, Shen Ke laughed out loud. He thought about how Shen Nian saw him. Although he wanted to kill him in his heart, he still had to pretend to be a brother in front of others. He couldn't help but laugh out loud!

Because in the eyes of others, he is still Shen Nian's brother, but others don't know that they have become enemies.

As long as he was under everyone's eyes, Shen Nian would not dare to do anything to him. Not only that, he also had to treat him with good food and drink.

After all, they are brothers in the eyes of others!

"But, what if the prince..." The servant was not as optimistic as Shen Ke.

When they were in the Marquis' Mansion, the Crown Prince had already fallen out with his young master. Now that they are in the Linzhou people's territory, do they still need to worry so much?

The mountains are high and the waters are long, even if the Marquis wants to control it, he can't.

What's more, his young master was kicked out of the Marquis' Mansion!

Maybe the prince has already received the news that his young master has been expelled from the clan.

But Shen Ke was not one to listen to advice. "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up! We have finally reached Linzhou. Where else can we go if not to find Shen Nian?

Besides, we've almost spent all our money on this trip. If we don't ask him for some money, do you think we'll end up sleeping on the streets?"

When they left the capital, they only brought less than two thousand taels of silver notes with them. They had almost spent all of it on food, accommodation, and shopping along the way.

The servant sighed. It was indeed so. If he didn't go to the prince, there seemed to be no better way.

Who made his young master live in the best place, eat the best food, and spend money like water when he goes out?

If an ordinary family had that much money, they would never be able to spend it all in their lifetime.

And his young master finished it in just two months.

"Awu, let's go!" The servant called Awu to drive the carriage. They had just arrived in Linzhou, and it would take several days to get to Sangluo City from here!

The boy took off his cotton-padded jacket and put it away first.

The three men drove the carriage towards Sangluo City.

On the other side, the person who went to gather information came back.

"Boss, they have already entered the territory of Linzhou."

Mu Feng was sitting under a shed, crossing his legs and looking at the road ahead with boredom.

Hearing the guard's reply, he finally smiled, "We're finally here!"

They have been waiting here for more than a month, and finally the person has arrived.

When he first heard the news, he thought of waiting until they got outside Sangluo City before stopping them.

Later, I thought that it would have a bad influence on the master. Since we have to do it secretly, we cannot let them come into the jurisdiction of Sangluo City.

So he and his men and Mu Lin have been taking turns guarding here for almost a month.

They thought the news was wrong and Shen Ke would not come, but they didn't expect that this person walked as slowly as a turtle. Fortunately, hard work pays off and they finally got what they were waiting for.

"How long will it take to get here?" Mu Feng stood up. They had prepared everything they needed.

Now we just have to wait for someone to come!

"Based on their speed, they'll probably be here in three or four days. Should we ambush them on the roadside?"

"Do as planned!" Mu Feng narrowed his eyes.

He was about to instruct another guard to report to his master when he suddenly remembered that he had missed an important piece of information. "How many people are there?"

The guard was about to leave, but when he heard Mu Feng's question, he was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had forgotten to mention it. He blushed and said, "There are only three of us, a servant, and a guard driving the carriage."

"Okay, got it. Go ahead!" Mu Feng waved his hand and let the guard go.

The master didn't need to take any action to deal with these three people, he could handle it alone.

I don't know why the master insisted on coming here in person!

"Go and inform the master!" Mu Feng instructed another guard.

He still has to continue guarding this side!

This opportunity is rare, we can't afford to make any mistakes!

On the other side, Shen Nian received the news that Shen Ke was about to arrive, so he sat in the study for a while before coming to find Xia Tian.

"Xia Xia, I have to go out these few days and can't stay at home with you." Shen Nian walked in and sent everyone out and said.

"Is there something wrong?" Xia Tian was surprised. The earthquake issue had been almost dealt with, and there should be no other urgent matters that required Shen Nian to personally monitor during this period.

"Shen Ke has arrived in Linzhou." Shen Nian was silent for a moment, but still did not hide it.

After saying that, he stared into Xia Tian's eyes. He believed that she must know what he meant.

I also want to know what she thinks, whether she thinks he is cruel!

Xia Tian held Shen Nian's hand, thought for a moment, and said, "You can go, but be careful!"

Shen Ke's intention of coming to Linzhou was obvious. She was afraid that Shen Nian would have an accident.

Shen Ke is not a pushover!

Shen Nian pursed his lips and shook Xia Tian's hand. "Don't worry, I will completely solve this problem this time. I won't let you worry about it anymore."

"Brother Shen, you must be careful. My son and I are waiting for your safe return."

"Okay!" Shen Nian's throat was a little blocked, and he nodded after a long time.

Shen Nian made an agreement with Xia Tian before going out to talk to Auntie Zhang and Auntie Zhang, "Auntie, I have something to do these few days and need to go out for a while. I'll trouble Auntie Zhang and Auntie Zhang to take care of Xia Xia and the others."

"What are you talking about? Just go ahead and do your thing. We are here and will take good care of you." said my aunt with a smile.

The people who come to take care of her during the confinement period are all her close relatives, nephews and their wives, and they will definitely do their best.

"Is the young master going far?" asked Nanny Zhang.

"It's not far. Let's go to the village outside the city to see the harvest!" Shen Nian casually gave a reason.

Nanny Zhang didn't ask any further. In the past, Shen Nian was always away on long trips, and it was common for him not to come back for a few days or even more than ten days, so she didn't take it to heart.

After all, as an official, you are responsible for the people of a state!
