Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled
Chapter 97: Your Majesty, are you nervous?
"Where are you going?" Xiao Heng asked curiously, his dark eyes flashing with a gentle look.
Shen Qingge smiled and replied in a relaxed tone, "Of course, I'm going to visit County Magistrate Zhang's residence!"
Yun Yi, who was standing behind her, was stunned when he heard this. Then he slapped his head suddenly and said as if he suddenly understood:
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Madam Shen possesses the ability to teleport, so we can take this opportunity to go and explore the terrain of the county government!"
However, Xiao Heng, who was standing by, glared at him fiercely upon hearing this and said unhappily, "Did Miss Shen tell you to go with her?"
Yun Yi was so frightened by Xiao Heng's sudden glare that his whole body trembled, and a dense layer of goose bumps instantly appeared on his body.
He looked at Xiao Heng timidly, muttering softly, "Master, that...that's not the case."
At this time, Shen Qingge also added: "Yun Yi, I will only take the prince with me on this operation. After all, a large number of people will make a large target. If we are accidentally discovered, it will be troublesome."
In fact, Shen Qingge didn't want to show too many of her special abilities in front of Yun Yi. Instead, she was much more calm when facing Xiao Heng.
After hearing her words, Yun Yi's face was full of disappointment.
Ever since he had the good fortune to experience teleportation with Madam Shen last time, that wonderful feeling of traveling thousands of miles at lightning speed has been deeply imprinted in his mind, making it hard for him to forget.
He always wanted to feel that exhilarating feeling again.
However, what Madam Shen said made sense. It was easy to be exposed when there were too many people. He couldn't let his master fall into danger just for his own selfish desires. Besides, the look in his master's eyes at that moment was as if he was going to... stab him.
Yun Yi raised his eyes timidly and forced a smile at Xiao Heng that was uglier than crying:
"Then, Master, you and Madam Shen go ahead, but be extremely careful. I'll be waiting here for you to come back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qingge and Xiao Heng disappeared from the house without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Yun Yi also cleverly blew out the candles in the room, lying on his side on the bed, pretending to rest.
……
It's too late, but it's soon.
In just a blink of an eye, Shen Qingge and Xiao Heng had landed steadily on an old eaves.
The two men slowly stood up, their eyes simultaneously looking towards the street below.
It was just after curfew, and the once bustling streets became deserted, with only a few lanterns left hanging on the streets, emitting a faint and dim light.
These lights flickered in the darkness, adding a touch of silence to the entire street.
"It's dry and dry, be careful with the candles!"
At this moment, the figure of a night watchman happened to be walking slowly on the street, accompanied by the clear and distant sound of a clapper.
"Knock knock—bang bang—", by counting the number of times the night watchmen beat the drums, it can be inferred that it has just passed midnight.
The night is deep and everything is silent.
Xiao Heng asked softly, "So, where is the county government?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingge gently stood on tiptoe, looked around, and pointed a finger at a faintly gleaming light in the distance. She said firmly, "It's right there!"
Xiao Heng looked at the direction she pointed with a hint of doubt, and asked puzzledly, "Why do you think so?"
Shen Qingge chuckled and said patiently:
"Look carefully over there; it's brightly lit. And from this distance, its outline is enormous and majestic, like a small palace. Besides the county seat, is there any other place in Anshan County that's as grand as this?"
After hearing her words, Xiao Heng squinted his eyes and looked hard in that direction for a long time, but the distance was too far and he still could not see any clues.
He couldn't help but be surprised. Shen Qingge could actually see so far away clearly, which was simply beyond the reach of ordinary people. How many other things about her could make him marvel?
Shen Qingge, on the other hand, was clearly impatient. She reached out and grabbed Xiao Heng's hand, then flashed once more. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had steadily entered the courtyard.
The courtyard was just as they had seen. Even though it was late at night, the lanterns hanging on the corridors were still brightly lit.
Just at this moment, a patrol team passed by, and the two of them hurriedly hid in a gap at the corner of the eaves.
The small and cramped space forced the two to press close together, so close that they could smell each other's scent and clearly hear each other's breathing and heartbeat.
Plop--plop--plop--
"Your Highness, are you nervous? Why is your heart beating so fast?"
Shen Qingge asked softly with doubt in her voice. At the same time, she suddenly felt a cold touch on her fingertips.
When she felt carefully, she found that Xiao Heng's palms were sweating! She suddenly remembered that she had just inadvertently held Xiao Heng's hand.
The situation was very urgent just now, so I clenched my hands even tighter, with all ten fingers clasped together.
Somehow, after feeling the coolness, the scene of accidentally touching Xiao Heng's lips two days ago flashed in her mind.
So, before Xiao Heng could answer, she hurriedly let go of his hand as if she had been scalded.
Xiao Hengmin also realized something was wrong, his cheeks instantly became hot, and he hurriedly said:
"I'm not nervous! That... I just accidentally held Miss Shen's hand, you... don't mind it.
I see the patrol soldiers have gone far away, we... let's go out! The most important thing right now is to quickly figure out the topography of this county."
"it is good!"
Shen Qingge, having regained consciousness, gently tugged at Xiao Heng's sleeve. The two of them flashed away, leaving the small space.
The next moment, they appeared on the branches of a lush and verdant tree. From this high vantage point, they could clearly see every corner of the county government.
However, Shen Qingge had only gently pulled the corner of Xiao Heng's clothes. When Xiao Heng appeared, due to his unstable center of gravity, his body suddenly tilted forward and he almost fell from the branch.
Seeing this, Shen Qingge quickly reached out and grabbed Xiao Heng's arm, pulling hard and finally pulling him back to safety.
However, due to the huge inertia, the huge impact force caused the two of them to collide involuntarily.
After gaining his footing, Xiao Heng's face flushed slightly, and he coughed twice unnaturally.
"Ahem...Miss Shen, the location you chose is excellent. It allows you to have a panoramic view of the entire county government."
Hearing this, Shen Qingge laughed awkwardly, but in order to avoid escalating the slightly awkward atmosphere, she quickly turned her head and began to carefully observe the surrounding terrain, no longer looking at Xiao Heng.
The breeze blew by, rustling the leaves, as if adding a different charm to the subtle atmosphere of the moment.
