Chapter 120: The Charming Beauty of the Lord of War (8)
At midnight, the road was pitch black, with no one in sight.
But there was no news about Ji Ning at the gate of the city.
Xiyue has been wiping tears in the room since she found out that Ji Ning had left, but seeing Wei Jianzhou come back alone again, Xiyue suddenly stopped crying.
No one has been found so far, which means that Ji Ning has successfully escaped.
Xiyue felt more fortunate than worried.
Fortunately, Ji Ning was not confused by the current comfort.
Xiyue clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, praying that Ji Ning would return to the king's side as soon as possible. As for herself, Xiyue didn't care what Shen Huai would do with her.
Shen Huai's face became more and more ugly in the night.
Recalling Ji Ning's appearance during the day, Shen Huai sneered.
It seems that the previous cuteness was just to confuse him.
He had already had people search the city strictly, but no trace of Ji Ning was found.
According to the previous passerby's description, the direction Ji Ning left was the city gate they came from.
Shen Huai licked his back molars, and there was an elusive meaning in his eyes.
"Take her to the imperial city."
Shen Huai raised his head, the expression on his face was the usual indifference, as if Ji Ning's escape was just an insignificant matter to him.
Wei Jianzhou couldn't figure out Shen Huai's plan, "My lord, you are..."
"No one has seen Princess Xifei before, have they?"
Shen Huai's expression was cold, and he looked at Xiyue without any emotion.
The coldness in the eyes is like a layer of ice, and if you are not careful, you will be torn apart.
Being stared at by such a terrifying Shen Huai, Xiyue suddenly trembled involuntarily with fear.
"Our princess is just playing, she will be back later."
Xiyue was very scared, afraid that Shen Huai would kill them all.
Ji Ning is just a woman, and she can't walk very far with her feet. Xiyue struggles to buy some time for Ji Ning.
Looking at Xiyue's avoiding gaze, Shen Huai sneered mercilessly.
"What a loyal follower."
But in this world, not only loyalty can solve problems.
With Ji Ning gone, he will create another Princess Xifei.
He doesn't care who Princess Xifei is, he only cares about whether he can "enter the palace to face the saint" smoothly.
Wei Jianzhou looked at Xiyue with a calm expression, "This subordinate understands."
Although Wei Jianzhou has a good relationship with Shen Huai on weekdays, when it comes to business, Wei Jianzhou never smiles.
It was clear that Shen Huai had no intention of going to Beijing with him.
But Wei Jianzhou still didn't ask anything.
Wei Jianzhou took Xiyue and left, leaving Shen Huai alone in Ji Ning's house.
Even the escape tool made by Ji Ning is still hanging by the window.
Shen Huai drew out the sword that had been stained with countless blood, and cut off the cloth strips tied at the foot of the bed.
"It's unimaginable that you have become so courageous."
No one was found in the city, and she did not leave the city gate.
So there is only one way to go.
Shen Huai slowly withdrew his sword, his eyes were undisguisedly cold, and the hand holding the handle of the knife couldn't help but tighten.
The owner of the restaurant never saw Shen Huai leave the room, and when he came up with breakfast in the morning, he found that the room was empty.
"It's strange, why did the two big living people suddenly disappear?"
The owner of the restaurant is Shen Huai's eyeliner many years ago. Every time they take over the task, they only recognize Yupei.
So after Shen Huai took out the jade pendant yesterday, the restaurant owner subconsciously regarded him as the mysterious leader.
He had previously suspected that the person above might be the god-killer, but yesterday he heard the news of the general's death, and in the evening, Shen Huai appeared as usual, so the owner of the restaurant dispelled his doubts.
As for who their boss is, the restaurant owner doesn't bother to pursue further.
What puzzled him was the identity of the woman.
The whole process was tightly wrapped, and none of them saw her true face.
Now that both of them left quietly, the boss had a faint suspicion that the woman might be the missing Princess Xifei.
It's a very sweet place~
