Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled
Chapter 96: Deciding to Go to the "Hongmen Banquet" Together
As Yun Yi spoke, he carefully observed the changes in Xiao Heng's expression. Seeing that he remained calm and without any ripples, he continued:
"The enemy is cunning. Although Madam Shen is very powerful, she is no match for her own strength. In addition, when facing relatives, one's concern will naturally make one panic. If one is not careful, it is not impossible for someone to plot against them!"
Everything Yun Yi said made sense, and even Xiao Heng frowned slightly. His eyes looking at the courtyard became much more solemn.
Shen Qingge was keenly aware of Xiao Heng's strange gaze, and a trace of doubt welled up in her heart. She looked up at Xiao Heng and instantly understood his concerns.
It turned out that Xiao Heng was worried about the safety of her and everyone in the Shen family.
Shen Qingge couldn't help but feel touched, and immediately gave Xiao Heng a faint smile, telling him not to worry too much.
After all, she had long been aware of the schemes of Zhang Jun and his men, and had made full preparations to deal with them. At this banquet, she would launch a counterattack and give the enemy an unexpected surprise.
Later today, she would naturally find an opportunity to discuss the next action plan in detail with Xiao Heng, including the itinerary arrangements after leaving this place...
At this moment, the appearance of a person directly broke the delicate atmosphere between the two, and Shen Qingge immediately withdrew his gaze.
The person who came was none other than the messenger Wang Gui.
He walked over slowly with an arrogant expression. Seeing Shen Qingge looking ahead in a daze, he looked up following her gaze, but saw only rows of guest room windows and nothing else.
He lowered his head in dismay, pointed at Shen Qingge and said, "Madam Shen, your Shen family is so lucky!"
Wang Gui deliberately raised his voice. Upon hearing this, all the Shen family members came over, and the other families also looked at him with curiosity and envy.
However, now, the women and children of the Shen family are not so easy to fool. They all look at Wang Gui with some vigilance, but still appear respectful on the surface.
Grandmother said, "Master Wang, you must be joking. Where does our Shen family get its good fortune from now?"
"Ah... Madam Shen, who says you don't have good fortune? The county governor will host a banquet at his residence tomorrow to entertain the Fifth Prince. I heard that the Shen family members are also among the exiles.
He remembered Lord Shen's previous achievements and felt sorry for the Shen family's situation, so he allowed your family to attend the external banquet and let you have a good meal.
Even in this state, can't it be called a blessing?"
Wang Gui was very excited when he spoke, and he paid attention to the expressions of everyone in the Shen family as he spoke.
He felt that this was a great thing for these exiled criminals. The Shen family would be grateful and would automatically fall into the trap they had set.
Little did they know that with Shen Qingge around, although the Shen family didn't eat all the delicacies along the way, they definitely didn't go hungry, so they didn't have to be grateful for a bite or two of food.
Upon hearing this, the Shen family members did not answer in a hurry, but turned their heads together, their eyes all falling on Shen Qingge.
At this time, Shen Qingge had become the absolute backbone of the Shen family. Only with her approval could others act with confidence and boldness.
Shen Qingge smiled lightly, her attitude obviously warmed up a lot, but the smile did not reach her eyes as she said:
"Really? The County Magistrate actually still remembers my father. We are truly touched! During this exile, we couldn't even get a good meal. Our Shen family is truly blessed! What about the other noble families?"
Wang Gui's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said, "This... why do you say your family is so blessed? The county magistrate didn't mention any other families at all!"
He cursed in his heart, thinking that Shen Qingge was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.
However, Shen Qingge did not give up. Instead, he raised his voice and deliberately said loudly:
"The Shen family has this opportunity thanks to Lord Wang's kind words in front of the county governor."
Shen Qingge also deliberately raised his voice very high. Since you want to play the trick of making the Shen family the target of public criticism again, then I will naturally pull you along and let you see what it means to be grasshoppers on the same rope.
Sure enough, after hearing Shen Qingge's words, several families around turned to look at Wang Gui.
Wang Gui was a little embarrassed, cleared his throat and said:
"Well, I've got my message across. Tomorrow when we get to Anshan County, please be smart and polite, and don't embarrass me."
After saying this, he glanced at Xiao Heng's team, which was about to leave, and shouted, "Everyone, set off!"
Upon hearing the news, the people in the exile team immediately packed their bags, formed a long line, left the Jixiang Inn, and headed towards Anshan County.
Sister-in-law Wang Lan squeezed in front of Shen Qingge and asked in confusion:
"Little sister, why did you accept the invitation from the royal messenger? It's obvious that he has bad intentions!"
Shen Qingge only smiled slightly and responded, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I have my own arrangements. You will know after tomorrow!"
……
That night, the entire team found an inn to stay in Yongping County, which was about ten miles away from the county center.
What’s even more serious than the previous two days is that the number of spies around the inn has continued to increase.
There are several of them hanging on one tree. If you don’t know, you might think that this group of people are gathering to enjoy the lantern festival at the market!
In the quiet of the night, Xiao Heng's door was knocked rhythmically again.
Boom...boom...boom...
However, this time the person who opened the door was none other than Prince Xiao Heng.
When Shen Qingge saw the door open, she rushed in so quickly that she entered the house while Xiao Heng's hand was still frozen at the door, and he had not had time to withdraw it.
After entering the room, Shen Qingge handed over a water bag and a pill without saying a word.
This pill was something she had found with great difficulty in the jade pendant space. It was called the Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill, and was made from the dew on nine kinds of flower petals in the early morning. It was scarlet in color and had a refreshing fragrance. After taking it, it could replenish the mind and strengthen the body. It was especially suitable for Xiao Heng, who was still a little weak after detoxification.
If supplemented with spiritual spring water, it can achieve the dual effects of clearing out remaining toxins and strengthening the body.
Xiao Heng looked at the water bag and pills handed to him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Immediately afterwards, before Shen Qingge could explain to him in detail the effects and origin of the pill, he put the pill into his mouth and swallowed it, then raised the water bag in his hand and drank it in big gulps.
All I could hear was the sound of "gulp gulp", and in the blink of an eye, half a bag of water was drunk by him.
Shen Qingge was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly and jokingly said, "Why, Your Highness, do you trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I might poison you?"
When Xiao Heng heard this, a blush instantly appeared on his face, and then he said softly:
"Don't be so frivolous. I've been waiting for you for a long time. What's your plan for tomorrow? Let's discuss it!"
Shen Qingge shook her head and said, "Your Highness, how do you feel after taking the pills? Does your leg still hurt? If you are not feeling unwell, would you be willing to go with me?"
