Chapter 221 The Game (Part [-])
Xuanying's eyes darkened, and the moves in her hands became more and more fierce.

And the other side.

Mu Bai sneaked into Su Rao's room and walked straight to the inside.

As soon as he entered the room, his eyes fixed on the bed in the back. There was a black ball on the bed, as if Su Rao was lying on the quilt.

But Mubai quickly noticed something was wrong.

The sound of fighting outside was already very ear-piercing, Su Rao is a martial artist, it is impossible that he has not woken up until now, most likely he dug a trap for himself to jump into.

Mu Bai felt vigilant, looked around, saw nothing unusual, and carefully moved towards the bed.

When he got to the couch, he raised the sword in his hand and slashed at the couch quickly.

As expected, there was only the touch of the quilt and the bed on the sword, and there was no one on the bed.

His eyes turned cold, and without any pause, he turned over and jumped to the side.

As soon as he left the spot, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes.

Turning around, she saw Su Rao slashing at him with a sword in her hand, just now she was lying in ambush on the roof, waiting for an opportunity to end Mu Bai.

Seeing her coming prepared, Mu Bai didn't dare to take it lightly, the moves in his hands changed and he went up to meet her.

Although Su Rao's martial arts were not weak, she still had the upper hand in front of Mu Bai.After a few moves, he failed to dodge one of them, and his left shoulder was cut open by the tip of his sword, revealing a long and thin wound, and there was a sudden burst of pain.

Her eyes showed fierceness, she knew that she couldn't beat Mu Bai like this at all, she frowned, and the left hand hidden in her sleeve suddenly sprinkled forward, white powder hit Mu Bai, blurring him in an instant Sight.

Mu Bai didn't know what she sprinkled, so he had to hold his breath and use the sword wind to disperse the white powder.

When he was finally able to see things, he looked around, but saw that the window in the room was wide open, and Su Rao had disappeared.

He turned over from the window, but he could only see the vast darkness around him, and there was no sign of Su Rao at all.

I jumped to the tree in the courtyard and saw that there was a winding torch coming here in the distance. I am afraid that the Imperial Forest Army patrolling the Chengwen Museum heard the movement.

Although Xuanying killed some people, they did not completely gain the upper hand.

The most important thing is that Su Rao didn't know where to hide, and after a while, there was no one at all.

Mu Bai's eyes sank, he made a decisive decision, and whistled downward.

Today they can only retreat for the time being, and if they continue to fight, they will fall into a passive position instead.

Xuanying and Yinwei who were fighting in the courtyard all looked down upon hearing this, they no longer wanted to fight, quickly got away, tapped their toes, jumped in all directions, and quickly disappeared into the dark night.

The guards in Xuanyi in the courtyard wanted to chase after him, but the leader waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Forget it, they are strong in martial arts, if they can't catch up, the most important thing is to protect His Highness."

Only then did the others stop.

"Go and see Your Highness."

"Yes."

Mubai and Xuanying led the hidden guards and used lightness kung fu all the way, finally successfully bypassed the imperial forest army who came, and left the Chengwen Hall without any danger.

When he arrived at a secluded place, Mu Bai pulled down the mask, with a frustrated look on his face, "I didn't expect Qinshui Diji to have so many masters by her side! This time we underestimated the enemy."

Xuanying shook her head, her tone was gloomy, "That seems not to be the bodyguard of Emperor Qinshui, but someone from Wuhen Palace."

"What did you say?" Mu Bai was shocked.

When he was in Yu Kingdom earlier, His Highness was assassinated by Wuhen Palace.However, the assassination at that time was the work of Jun Che, the second prince of Zhao Kingdom, but after several assassinations failed, he gave up the idea.

But now, how could Emperor Qinshui have something to do with Wuhen Palace?

He frowned, realizing that the water here seemed to be deeper than they thought.

"Go back first." He made a decisive decision, looking at Xuanying and the hidden guard behind him.

Prime Minister's House.

At this time, the night was deep, Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan had already fallen asleep, and the room was pitch black.

Song Qinghuan beside her has fallen asleep, breathing shallow and long.

After confirming that she was asleep, Shen Chuhan suddenly opened his eyes, got off the bed lightly, took his clothes and put them on outside, then put on a cloak, opened the door and went to the study.

The night is getting darker.

Finally, there was movement in the yard.

Shen Chuhan raised his head from the scroll in his hand, and looked towards the door.

"Dong dong dong" knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open from the outside, and those who walked in were Mu Bai and Xuan Ying who hurried over before they had time to change their night clothes.

"Young master." The two saluted Shen Chuhan.

"Failed?" Seeing the expressions on their faces, Shen Chuhan said coolly.

The two knelt down on one knee, "Your subordinates are ineffective, please punish them, Your Highness."

"Get up and talk." Shen Chuhan's expression was indifferent, and he didn't seem very surprised or dissatisfied.

"Yes."

"What's going on?" Shen Chuhan asked again.

Mu Bai then told Shen Chuhan about the situation in Chengwen Hall just now.

Shen Chuhan's eyes turned cold, and he looked at Xuanying, "You said, the guards in Su Rao's courtyard are from Wuhen Palace?"

Xuanying nodded, "This subordinate clearly saw an arrow-shaped tattoo drawn on one of them's wrists." Before Shen Chuhan was assassinated in Yu Country, they discovered this problem when they investigated Wuhen Palace. The killer from Wuhen Palace , has an arrow-shaped tattoo on his wrist.

Wuhen Gong is originally a killer organization, and he is not afraid of attracting revenge. In this way, it can act as a deterrent and consolidate Wuhen's reputation and status in the arena.

Shen Chuhan curled his fingers, and tapped on the table one after another, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Su Rao." After a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Xuanying.

"Yes." Xuan Ying responded, "Then, on the side of Emperor Qinshui, do you still need subordinates...?"

"No need." Shen Chuhan waved his hand, "She will definitely take precautions now, if she is not careful, she will easily expose us, so let's stop for now and wait and see what happens."

"promise."

"Retire first, today's mission failed, you are not to blame, so don't think too much about it." Shen Chuhan has always been clear about rewards and punishments, although his tone is still light, there is no color of blame.

Mu Bai and Xuan Ying muffledly agreed, feeling somewhat remorseful.Seeing that it was too late, he didn't dare to bother him any more, and retreated after saluting.

Shen Chuhan's eyes were heavy, he put the book he was reading back on the shelf, blew out the candle and went back to his room.

The next day, Song Qinghuan learned of the failure to assassinate Su Rao from Shen Chuhan.

"How could she have anything to do with Wuhen Palace?" Su Rao was a little surprised.

Wuhen Palace is a Jianghu organization, and it has always been a killer's job, how could it play the role of bodyguard beside Su Rao.Or, as long as money is given, Wuhen Palace can do anything?
"I've already sent someone to investigate."

"Do you think Su Rao is deliberately guarding against us?" Song Qinghuan asked.

Shen Chuhan shook his head, "Our assassination was carried out in secret, and Su Rao would never know about it in advance. The only possibility is that she knew that the trip to Liang Country was full of hardships and dangers, and the guards of Chen Country were not very reliable, so she asked in advance The Wuhen Palace sent people to come to guard it personally."

Song Qinghuan nodded thoughtfully.

Shen Chuhan's conjecture made some sense.

However, from this point of view, Su Rao is indeed an opponent not to be underestimated.

"Then, what about Xiao Zhuo?"

"I have placed other people in the Southwestern Army. Don't worry about the military power for the time being. If it doesn't work, Xiao Zhuo can only set off first. After all, how can I get it so easily? Although I have gone, can I get it? , but that’s another story.”

"I don't know something." Song Qinghuan frowned slightly.

"What?" Shen Chuhan looked at her tenderly.

"Although Yin Zhan learned about the Qingyuan fruit in the Chen Kingdom's palace from you, how does he know that Su Rao must have the Qingyuan fruit now? Can we start from this aspect?"

Shen Chuhan pondered for a while, "You are right. With Yin Zhan's cautious and suspicious temperament, Su Rao must have faked Qingyuan fruit and showed it to him. Yin Zhan has never seen the real face of Qingyuan fruit, and the medicine It's impossible to tell from the outside, so I can only believe Su Rao's words. Believe it, he still has a chance to recover, but if you don't believe it, he will only drag this sick body forever."

"In my opinion, we might as well spread the news about the theft of Qing Yuanguo from the Imperial Palace of Chen Kingdom."

Shen Chuhan frowned, and there was a deep silhouette in his eyes. "This is also a way."

"Yin Zhan has a suspicious personality. This rumor can only be released in Luocheng first. After all, the Qingyuan fruit was stolen in Chen Kingdom. Yin Zhan must have planted spies in Luocheng. Knowing this news from the spies will obviously make people more uncomfortable. People are convinced." Song Qinghuan said again.

"I'll call someone to arrange it right away."

Right now, the game between them and Su Rao has reached a stalemate, and Yin Zhan is staring at Shen Chuhan, so on their side, they can't move too much, they can only take it slowly.

Unexpectedly.

Su Rao kept the assassination a secret, and no news leaked out.

As a result, Song Qinghuan became more and more suspicious.

With Su Rao's cleverness, she must have guessed who wanted to do something to her, but she chose to hold back, why?

At this time, Yin Zhan has no trust in Shen Chuhan. Even if Su Rao has no solid evidence, Yin Zhan will definitely choose to stand by her.

Such a great opportunity, but she chose to give up, there must be something tricky about it.

Could it be that... you don't want to expose the Wuhen Palace?
Thinking of this, Song Qinghuan frowned even tighter.

What kind of existence is this traceless palace?For some reason, she always felt that the Wuhen Palace would become a major obstacle for Shen Chuhan to succeed in his career in the future.

As for the palace master of the Wuhen Palace, who is said to be a dragon who sees the head but can't see the end, who is so sacred?
Although they were reborn in one life, in the previous life, Wuhen Palace was basically a Jianghu organization with a very weak sense of existence, but for some reason, they always felt inextricably connected with them in this life.

Although I feel a little uneasy in my heart, in the current situation, I can only respond to changes with the same.

*
The three-day deadline expired, and soon it was time for Xiao Zhuo to go on the road.

Due to their status, Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan couldn't see him off, so they went to the Yage Pavilion facing Zuixianlou ahead of time to wait.

Not long after, a galloping horse came galloping in the distance, and the person on the horse was Xiao Zhuo in narrow-sleeve riding attire, followed by several guards sent by Yin Zhan.

These guards were said to be sent to assist him, but in fact, they were just Yin Zhan's eyeliner placed beside Xiao Zhuo.

In this world, Yin Zhan only believes in himself.

Xiao Zhuo's horse quickly walked under them, as if there was a telepathy, Xiao Zhuo pretended to raise his head inadvertently, and looked at Shen Chuhan in the air for a moment, then quickly lowered his eyes, curled his right ring finger and little finger, and placed them on the left The shoulder blades touched.

Then he raised his whip and galloped away, disappearing from the sight of the two of them.

Song Qinghuan sighed a little, looked back at Shen Chuhan, saw his eyes welling up, and his expression was as cool as the severe cold weather in the first month.

Sending Xiao Zhuo away, the two didn't stay in the Zuixian Tower for long, and quickly returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a carriage.

Shen Chuhan still had things to deal with, so he went to the study first, and Song Qinghuan, accompanied by Shen Xing, walked to the hospital.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Qiu'er and Xunyan mumbling about something.

Song Qinghuan frowned and glanced at Shen Xing.

Shen Xing understood, took two steps forward, and said coldly, "What are you doing?"

The two might as well have someone come back suddenly, startled, raised their eyes in a panic, saw that it was Song Qinghuan and Shen Xing, hurriedly put away the confusion on their faces, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I have seen you lady."

"What are you talking about?" Song Qinghuan asked coldly.

"No...it's nothing..." Qiu'er didn't say anything, but Xun Yan stammered.

Song Qinghuan sneered, and just about to speak, Liu Yue heard a voice coming out of the room.

When going out today, Song Qinghuan purposely brought only Shen Xing alone. Now is a special period, Yin Zhan is keeping a close eye on the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she can rest assured that Liu Yue is staying in the mansion.

Liu Yue bowed to Song Qinghuan, seeing Qiu'er and Xun Yan here, her face immediately collapsed, and said sharply, "Why are you two still here?!"
