Chapter 143: The Slapper
The crowd around him looked even more lonely, and her heart was stormy, like a paper boat wandering in the ocean, letting the wind and waves sweep over and save themselves. Yunguan was worried about Shen Yishuo, and even more worried about Youchen. As soon as she released the prayer lantern to bless Youchen, why did she disappear after she was released? Maybe she was too greedy.
"Sister Wan, do you miss me?" Shen Yishuo joked. He just wanted Yunwan to smile to relieve his nervousness.
"Did your brother discover Youchen?" Yunguan became more and more anxious as she waited, but fortunately, Shen Yishuo came back safely.
"No, those people are very familiar with the surrounding streets and alleys, and they turn left and right and throw me away." Shen Yishuo shook his head helplessly, not knowing what those mysterious people did to take advantage of the bustling lantern festival.
"Sister, be careful." A masked man suddenly stabbed Yunguan with a dagger. Shen Yishuo instinctively pushed Yunguan away, and raised his leg and kicked the murderer down.
"Brother, be careful behind you." Yunguan felt too late when she reminded her. She found a thin silver needle flying towards Shen Yishuo. Fortunately, he jumped up quickly and the silver needle only pierced his sleeves and did not hurt his flesh.
At this time, Ze Fenglin led a dozen guards guarding the city back swayingly. Seeing that Shen Yishuo was fighting with the mysterious man, he immediately ran over to support him with his soldiers.
The two masked men noticed that the situation was not good and quickly got into the crowd.
Yunguan was about to reach out to pick up the silver needle that fell on the ground, but Shen Yishuo stopped him, "Don't move!"
"What's wrong?" Yunguan and Ze Fenglin asked in unison.
"Be careful that it is poisonous, don't take it directly. Linzi, you brought this little manpower. It's not enough. Go and call some guards." Shen Yishuo pulled Yunguan tightly to chase the masked man. Now he can only feel at ease by bringing her by his side.
"Tsk, don't explain it clearly in advance, who knows how many people will be transferred?" Ze Fenglin was full of resentment and had to vent his anger at the guards, "You are guarding a street intersection and watching me, so you are not allowed to fly by a fly."
"Affect the order." The guards immediately went to stick to their posts in an orderly manner. Ze Fenglin picked up the silver needle with a handkerchief and wrapped it before leaving. Although he was angry with the Three Emperors, he still had to do his job.
Not long after, Ze Fenglin transferred a thousand guards to seal the temple street and investigated everyone strictly. It seemed that as long as the people who came to attend the temple street lantern festival were like masked men who had just committed the crime, how could the bad guys reveal their behavior in public?
"Linzi, what did you find?" Shen Yishuo found out that Temple Street was blocked by the guards, so he rushed back to meet Ze Fenglin. At this moment, they could only wait quietly. He didn't want to alarm the snake, but it would be difficult for the masked man to be found without the guards in the vast sea of people. I don't know whether those people came for him or Yunguan.
"I got nothing except finding two masks." Ze Fenglin specially transferred more guards. He was afraid that he would not have enough staff and be scolded by the third prince again, so he even transferred some guards guarding Tianfu City.
"I don't know if anyone sees their true faces. Go and inquire, maybe you will find out." Shen Yishuo asked while observing the mask in his hand, "Is this mask special?"
"It's sold at this temple street stall, and there's nothing special about it." Ze Fenglin responded truthfully. He was not good at paintings, so naturally he couldn't see the tricks.
"Brother Shuo, let me see, okay?" Yunguan took the mask handed over by Shen Yishuo and looked at it carefully. "The paintings are exquisite and the colors are bright, especially the cinnabar must be made new. You can check all the mask-selling stalls on Temple Street, and you may get some rewards."
"Linzi, you can take a few people to check in person now, hurry up." Shen Yishuo directed Ze Fenglin, who was frowning.
"Affect the order." Ze Fenglin was very worried. If Youchen's disappearance was related to the disappearing masked man, he would be a complete sinner.
"I wonder what the purpose of these people?" Shen Yishuo muttered to himself, and was very scared when he thought that he and Yunguan were almost attacked just now.
"Brother Shuo, Youchen..." When Yuchen mentioned, Yunguan's eyes were slightly red. She didn't dare to make the worst plan because she couldn't bear the plan.
"Sister Wan believes in me, Yu Chenji people have their own appearance, there will be no trouble, don't worry." Shen Yishuo held Yun Guan's hand tightly, making her feel extremely warm. Fortunately, he was still by her side at this moment.
The lively Lantern Temple Fair was interrupted by a sudden thousand guards, and all the investigations and inquiries made everyone present lose interest.
Many people who were questioned were impatient and were not friendly to the guards. Some strong men even pointed at him and showed their power. No matter how burly his figure was, they were pressed to the ground by Shen Yishuo and dared not make trouble.
The investigation of the mask stall did not make any substantial progress. Although it was found which stall the two masks came from, the stall owner said that his mask was the most exquisite and beautiful in the entire temple street. He sold hundreds of them today. He didn't remember who bought them all, so the clues to the investigation were naturally broken.
The people who should be investigated were investigated, and the people who should be interrogated also. The people gradually dispersed, leaving only the guards who continued to patrol and guard, trying to find the suspicious person.
The sky was lightly bright, and the fish belly turned white in the distance. Shen Yishuo, Yunguan and Ze Fenglin were busy but never found Youchen, so they had to withdraw their troops and return the purity of Temple Street.
Yunguan was anxious and tired after not closing her eyes all night, and she seemed to faint. Fortunately, Shen Yishuo's eyes were quick and his hands were almost holding her.
"Sister, I've asked you to go back to the house and wait, so you won't listen." Shen Yishuo looked at Yun Wan in his arms and said with great care.
"Brother, don't blame me. Even if I go back to the house, I will feel at ease. It's better to look for you here. It's a hope." Yunguan leaned against Shen Yishuo weakly. Her legs were already numb and swollen. If Shen Yishuo hadn't helped her, she would have spread on the ground.
"Linzi, I'm busy. Take the guards back quickly and get some rest early. I'll go find you if I have time." After Shen Yishuo asked, he rode the guard's horse and sent Yunguan back to Murong Mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw Hao Yun and said, "The princess is back, and the young master is very worried."
"Yuchen is very worried?" Yunguan asked in surprise, "Have he returned? When will he come back?"
"Young Master has been back for a long time. I asked Master Han and I to go to Miao Street to find you. We didn't find it, so we had to change shifts at the door and wait for you to come back."
"Sister, are you okay?" You Chen hurried over when he heard that Yunguan had returned home. He was very worried when he saw his sister so haggard.
"Ba~" Yunguan didn't ask anything, and just a slap in her backhand, making Yuchen's cheeks red and numb in an instant, as if she had used all her strength.
It is a trickle, undercurrent and wanton; it is disappointed, worried and painful.
