Shengjing Noble

Chapter 521 With bad intentions

"Just now I found something similar to iron powder on the soles of Zhao Zide's shoes, so I suspect that there is a bigger conspiracy behind him."

Outside the door, Fu Wuyang was silent for a moment, as if thinking, and then said: "You can continue to investigate, but you have to ensure your own safety. Also, in order not to delay the journey, I will let the main force advance first."

"Okay, it's decided."

"Then I'll leave first. You take a good rest."

"Ah."

Su Lanyin responded, and then the dark shadow outside the door disappeared into the night, without any movement.

……

The next day.

Zhao Zide opened his eyes in a daze, having forgotten what happened last night. He held his head and sat up, still feeling dizzy.

"What's wrong with me?"

Nanny Jin stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Master, are you okay?"

"Why are you here? Where's Kagetsu?"

"Didn't you tell Miss Huayue to go back last night?"

"Nonsense! How could I let her... No..." Zhao Zide hesitated and shook his head, then finally remembered, "Did you bring a new woman last night?"

"Yes!" Nanny Jin nodded quickly, "Her name is Xiao Taohong, and she was caught by Gou San'er. She looks so unique, and the master likes her very much."

"Strange, why can't I remember what she looks like?" Zhao Zide scratched his head, looking confused.

"Maybe you were too tired last night and fell asleep as soon as you lay down. If you want to see her, I will bring her here right away."

"No need for now, Master, I have some important things to do today. I'll take a good look at that girl when I come back in the evening."

After saying that, Zhao Zide got up, changed his clothes, and then left the house with his men.

Su Lanyin was still thinking about asking Zhao Zide some questions when she met him today, but it turned out that the other party didn't even see her.

It was all because the drug was too strong last night and made him pass out too quickly. Otherwise, if he could remember what she looked like, he wouldn’t have been able to come back that night.

Fortunately, Fu Wuyang was keeping watch outside. After Zhao Zide went out, he would naturally follow him to find out what happened.

……

As soon as Zhao Zide went out, he got on a carriage. The carriage did not go to the county, nor to the village, but went up the mountain.

Fu Wuyang could not go any further after reaching the foot of the mountain, because almost all entrances to the mountain were guarded by guards.

This made him even more certain that there must be some unspeakable secret on the mountain.

If he went back to mobilize troops to attack the mountain directly, wouldn't he be held responsible if there was nothing illegal inside?

It seems that he has to find out first and then catch them all in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Fu Wuyang decided to sneak in and investigate at night. At this moment, he had to find a corner to hide.

……

Finally, it was night, Zhao Zide had already gone down the mountain, and the guards guarding the mountain also relaxed.

Taking advantage of the air raid during the shift change, Fu Wuyang knocked out a guard, then changed into his clothes and went straight up the mountain.

The forest was extremely dark at night, and it was almost pitch dark. Fortunately, Fu Wuyang had the night pearl given by Su Lanyin, which was able to illuminate the mountain path under his feet.

As they walked, they saw three forked roads ahead, and Fu Wuyang squatted on the ground to examine them carefully.

Two of the roads are relatively narrow, and only one is wide enough for horse-drawn carriages.

Fu Wuyang remembered that Zhao Zide went up the mountain in a horse-drawn carriage.

So he looked around to see if there were any signs of parking. For example, if the reins were tied to a tree, there would be marks left there. Also, if the wheels were parked in one place for a long time, the soil underneath would be compressed.

He looked around but couldn't find any signs of open space for parking.

Therefore, it was certain that Zhao Zide must have taken this road that was open to traffic.

So he immediately headed for the widest road.

After walking for about an incense stick of time, he finally saw a ray of light. He immediately hid the night pearl in a small box and put it in his arms.

He hid behind a big tree and watched the situation in the cave in the distance.

If the entrance of the cave had not been illuminated by a kerosene lamp, it would have been difficult to find even during the day, let alone at night.

Fu Wuyang wanted to get closer to see what was going on, but he saw a person coming out who looked very familiar.

But because it was night and the person was quite far away, he couldn't be sure if it was the person he had seen.

Just as I was about to move closer to take a closer look, I suddenly saw a man walking out with a very sharp sword.

A group of guards around immediately came over to check the sword.

Fu Wuyang looked at this scene and felt that what he had expected was probably accurate.

Since he had already found the location, there was no need for him to take the risk by himself. He immediately turned around and went down the mountain quietly.

……

the other side.

Su Lanyin was pushed in front of Zhao Zide by Nanny Jin again.

She bowed obediently and said, "This servant greets the master."

Zhao Zide drank yesterday, but didn't drink today, so he seemed less gentle.

He leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed, looking arrogant as he sized up Su Lanyin who was lowering her head.

"Are you the pretty woman that Nanny Jin mentioned? Raise your head and let the master see you!"

Hearing this, Su Lanyin slowly raised her head and looked at him.

The moment their eyes met, the same surprise from last night appeared in Zhao Zide's eyes.

Suddenly, the girl Huayue in his arms didn't smell as good anymore.

He pushed the person away again, sat up straight, and looked at Su Lanyin with a lewd look in his eyes, greedily.

"She is indeed a rare beauty!"

"Thank you for the compliment, sir." Su Lanyin smiled appropriately. She looked very dignified standing there, completely different from the women he had seen before.

"Oh, she is so beautiful and has such good manners. She looks like a lady from a noble family." Zhao Zide touched his chin, his eyes shining.

Su Lanyin did not deny it and nodded with a smile: "My Lord, I was reduced to living with my relatives because my family fell into poverty. I was originally a girl from a good family."

"I see. Oh, my little beauty has suffered. Come here quickly and let me, your master, feel sorry for you."

"Master, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let me serve you dinner, please?"

"Okay..." Zhao Zide was about to nod in agreement when he suddenly remembered something. He was startled and looked surprised.

Have a meal……

Last night, he ate the food she picked for him and suddenly fainted.

Could it be that this girl has bad intentions?

Thinking of this, he asked tentatively: "You also served me dinner last night, right?"

Su Lanyin didn't expect that he was quite smart, but it was useless. Once he was poisoned by the drug, he would lose all his memories before and after.

So she smiled and said, "Yesterday, the master said he wasn't hungry, so he lay on the couch and asked me to massage your legs. Did you forget? The master also said that my technique was good and that you would feel sleepy after I massaged you."

"Really? Why... I don't remember anything?
