Xuan Bin followed the doorman to the gate of the princess's mansion and saw the woman standing outside the door at a glance.

The moment he saw the woman's face clearly, he was shocked.

Future mistress?

Why is she here?

Xuan Bin stepped forward quickly, "Your subordinate Xuan Bin greets Miss Shen. Are you here to see the master? The master..."

Shen Wanwan had never met Xuan Bin, but she had heard of his name from Feiyue and knew that he was one of Gu Beichen's most capable confidants.

"I already know about your prince's accident. Have someone prepare a carriage immediately. I need to leave the city now. Move quickly!"

If she hadn't considered that this was in Yong'an City and that any big movement would cause a commotion, she would have flown directly into the princess's mansion.

Does she know where the master is?

Xuan Bin was shocked, but he didn't have time to ask any further questions. He immediately turned around and asked someone to prepare the carriage. Then he took out a token from his pocket and handed it over respectfully, "This is the token of the princess's mansion. With it, you can enter and exit the city gate at will."

Shen Wanwan took the token without hesitation, on which the words "Pingyang" were engraved.

"Just tell me briefly, what happened in Yong'an City? Is it related to those 50,000 private soldiers?"

She couldn't think of any other reason why Gu Beichen rushed over right after Princess Pingyang's funeral, except that something happened to his private soldiers.

The master actually told her about this?

As expected, he had already determined that Miss Shen would be the future Princess Qin.

Xuan Bin was slightly startled, but he immediately replied: "Reporting to the princess, the master rushed here day and night because of the private soldiers."

Shen Wanwan frowned, but did not interrupt Xuan Bin.

It turned out that after Gu Beichen officially took over Princess Pingyang's private army, he discovered that there was a problem with the private army roster and the registered information, and no matter how he did it, they couldn't match.

It was not until Feiying came and investigated various aspects of information, both openly and secretly, and combined the information from local household registration documents, that he discovered that the identities of 500 private soldiers were fake.

At that time, Princess Pingyang had just passed away. Gu Beichen waited until after her funeral before rushing over from Shangjing City with Xuan Bin.

But before that, Canglang was ordered to lead people to hunt down Chen Qianru, the former mistress of the Anguo Mansion, Mrs. Lin, and went all the way south to Yong'an City in Jiangzhou.

"Five days ago, Canglang discovered Chen Qianru's whereabouts. The master asked me to stay behind at the Princess's residence. He left with Canglang, but... he hasn't returned yet."

Shen Wanwan nodded, "What about Xie Moxuan? Where is he?"

Canglang sighed. "The day our master left the Princess's Mansion, Master Xie arrived right after us. We've been searching for him these past few days. This morning, Feiying sent word that something strange had occurred at the Xie family's ancestral tomb in Dongjiling, and that Master Xie had led his men out of the city..."

Suddenly thinking of something, he paused and asked, "Princess, you are leaving the city at this hour. Are you going to Dongjiling?"

Shen Wanwan frowned again, but she didn't have time to argue with Xuan Bin about the name. "You're right, I'm indeed going to Dongjiling when I leave the city this time."

Xuan Bin almost blurted out: "How can that be possible!"

Dongjiling is a very weird place. If anything happens to the princess, the master will definitely not forgive him when he comes back.

At this moment, the coachman drove the carriage and stopped in front of the vermilion lacquered gate.

Xuan Bin wanted to say something, but Shen Wanwan walked towards the carriage without looking back.

"Princess, since you have decided to go, I will be your coachman..."

"No need!"

Shen Wanwan paused, "Your master has a reason for asking you to stay here, so you should guard well."

As she spoke, she had already arrived beside the carriage.

"By the way, Feiyue will be here soon. Remember to keep a close watch on the people she brings with her. Don't let anyone steal or kill them."

Hyun Bin: “…”

The carriage started slowly and left the princess's mansion.

The sound of horse hooves stepping on the bluestone road, combined with the sound of wheels, could be heard from far away in the night.

It was not until the carriage completely disappeared into the night and the sound of the carriage gradually faded away until it finally disappeared completely that Hyun Bin turned around and walked up the steps to return home.

Just then, a strange dragging sound came from a distance, and Hyun Bin stopped.

After a while, two figures slowly emerged from the darkness and finally stopped in front of the princess's mansion.

"Hyun Bin?"

Feiyue was stunned. "My master told you I would come, didn't he? I didn't expect you to be waiting at the door. That's quite considerate of you, brother."

Hyun Bin: “…”

He just stayed there for a little longer. Who was waiting for her here on purpose?

Feiyue ignored Xuan Bin's reaction, threw the rope in her hand to the ground, turned around and left, "My master said that these five heads will be temporarily locked up in the princess's mansion, and not one can be lost. You have to keep an eye on them."

Hyun Bin: “…”

What's going on with this chatterbox?

What do you mean by her master? Is the master not her master anymore?

wrong!

She just left him behind and left like that?

Hyun Bin looked at another figure who was obviously stunned. It was a man.

Zhang Bin was a little confused.

Can you do this?

"you……"

"Oh, my name is Zhang Bin, a guard beside the Prince of Pingnan. This time I am going on a long journey with the Prince of Pingnan. Now that he has been sent there, I will also..."

Xuan Bin interrupted Zhang Bin and said, "Brother Zhang, this is not the place to talk. Let's get the person in first."

Zhang Bin thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Xuan Bin walked forward and looked down. Wow, straw mat rice dumplings?

The two of them worked together to carry the five corpses wrapped in straw mats, oh no, five motionless men in black, into the dungeon of the princess's mansion.

The mat was worn out from dragging, and the side facing the ground of the five people was rubbed into a bloody mess. They looked in pain, but they were like fish on a chopping board, unable to move.

The corners of Hyun Bin's lips twitched.

Looking at Zhang Bin, "This is..."

Zhang Bin shrugged, "This was Miss Feiyue's idea."

There were five men in black, and he could easily carry two on each shoulder.

But Miss Feiyue came back.

"They can still be carried on their shoulders after injuring someone? With such good treatment, why are they still Japanese killers?"

Zhang Bin had no choice but to find a straw mat and hemp rope, rolled the five people side by side in the straw mat, and tied them up with hemp rope.

The two men each pulled a rope and dragged it for several streets before they got here.

Zhang Bin briefly recounted how he arrived in Yong'an City, discovered Canglang, and how Feiyue easily defeated the assassin. He then clasped his fists and said goodbye, "I have to hurry back to the inn. I'll take my leave now."

He looked calm but was very anxious inside.

Just now, Miss Feiyue told her that Young Master Ye and Miss Shen were going out of the city tonight, and she would follow them after helping them see them off.

As a result, there were only the master's family of four and a maid in the inn, and he had to rush back as soon as possible to fulfill his duties as a guard.

Xuan Bin didn't dare to stop him anymore. The inn was full of masters, and Zhang Bin should really go back as soon as possible.

Feiyue left in such a hurry just now. If I guessed correctly, she would definitely not go back to the inn honestly.

East gate.

Ye Tianlan and Canglang waited at the corner for about a quarter of an hour before hearing the sound of a carriage coming from a distance.

Soon, the princess's carriage emerged from the darkness and slowly stopped in front of the two of them.

"Brother, Canglang, get in the car quickly."

After the two got on, the carriage started slowly again and drove towards the east city gate.

"who?"

The guard at the city gate stepped forward and stopped the carriage, but was obviously stunned when he saw the unique logo of the princess's mansion on the carriage.

Shen Wanwan lifted the car curtain and waved the token from the Princess's Mansion in her hand, "Open the city gate!"

"Yes!"

The guards did not dare to delay and quickly opened the city gate.

The carriage slowly drove out of the city gate.

"It's really strange. It's so late, why is the person who is temporarily staying at the princess's mansion still leaving the city?"

"Who knows? The person holding the Princess Mansion token just now seemed to be a girl."

"But this is the East City Gate. Thirty miles away is Dongji Ridge. Shouldn't a girl be more afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"Are you afraid of ghosts? Haven't you heard that Dongjiling is haunted?"

"Come on, you haven't been there yourself, so how can you be sure it's haunted? Maybe someone wants to take it over..."

As the two were talking, a breeze suddenly blew by, carrying with it a faint scent of medicine.

"Why is there wind out of nowhere?"

"You feel it too?"

"Yeah, there's also a medicinal scent, which is quite pleasant."

The two looked at each other and shuddered in unison.

“It can’t be…

"Oh, stop talking and close the door!"
