Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 209 Wuwei Taoist Temple

In a blink of an eye, it was the Yin month (October). It was late autumn in the east, and the air was getting colder. The sky was condensed with light clouds, and the mountains appeared a sapphire blue in the twilight. The osmanthus tree in Shen Shenshen's yard had begun to shed its leaves, revealing bare branches, which looked a little bleak.

She has been finalizing the design of the "couple jewelry" for Heyinlou for the past ten days. After it was finalized, the craftsmen have started to make it, and it is expected to be available for sale in another twenty days. By the way, she also finalized the "crane" character and the "crane" pattern. She is waiting to make a big move and make a sensation in the entire Dongxiang capital again.

Recently, all preparations of Heyinlou are progressing normally. Although the temperature is a little low on this day, the sky is as blue as a wash, and the sun shines through the clouds on the earth, warm and soft. The mountains and fields are full of red maple trees and golden ginkgo trees. It is the most beautiful season of the year in the suburbs of Dongxiang City. Shen Shenshen took the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion and led Lu Hen out of the city to Wuwei Taoist Temple to admire the maple leaves.

Wuwei Temple is a Taoist temple in Dongxiang Capital. In the early days of Dongxiang, it was just an ordinary small Taoist temple left over from the previous dynasty. It is unknown which master had the ingenuity to plant maple trees behind the temple. Every late autumn, the maple leaves cover the entire back mountain like flames, making it a good place for people in the capital to enjoy the autumn. As a result, the Taoist temple began to become popular.

Shen Shen accidentally heard Cui Ling mention the scenery of the Taoist temple in autumn at Heyin Tower, and was quite yearning for it. He had agreed to go with Ziyuan today, but the Censorate had an emergency errand, and Zhu Yanxiao was called by his colleagues after leaving the palace. Shen Shen has always had his own ideas. Since Ziyuan is working overtime? Then go by yourself.

The carriage arrived at Wuwei Temple after traveling for about an incense stick of time. They came early today, so there were not many carriages parked at the gate of the temple. Shen Shen saw a sea of ​​red from afar, and was extremely excited. After the carriage stopped, he led Lu Hen into the Taoist temple quickly.

The master and servant walked into the Taoist temple, where they saw a lot of incense burning and a constant flow of people. She took a tour of each hall with great interest, and looked at the Taoist gods and immortals enshrined in the halls very seriously.

Lu Hen asked puzzledly, "Miss, do you want to be a Taoist nun?"

"Huh?" Shen Shen was puzzled.

"I see you are looking very carefully."

"Humph, it's all Ziyuan's fault. He didn't have time to accompany me today. I will be back later and make him worry."

"The prince is busy with official duties, not that he doesn't want to come."

"I don't care. Luhen, when you return to the capital and see Ziyuan, don't say anything."

"Oh. I know."

In this way, Shen Shenshen traveled very slowly, looking at every place very carefully. Because of her natural beauty, it was inevitable that men would look at her sideways and secretly glance at her several times.

After leaving the Taoist temple, Shen Shen and her maid strolled along the mountain path and finally saw the legendary maple forest.

The maple leaves were like fire, dyeing the entire hillside red, which was a beautiful sight. She ran into the forest excitedly, feeling the softness of the fallen leaves under her feet and the whistling of the autumn wind in her ears, jumping and shouting with joy. This attracted the frowns and sidelong glances of some noble ladies around her.

Lu Hen followed behind, calling Shen Shenshen carefully, "Miss, please slow down, I can't keep up, don't go deeper into the woods, Miss, Miss."

Shen Shenshen kept shuttling through the forest, sometimes picking up a maple leaf to observe carefully, sometimes looking up at the sky and letting her thoughts drift. She walked farther and farther, and finally, she discovered something was wrong.

Green Hen's voice hasn't been heard for a long time.

She was a little anxious, "Luhen, Luhen." Shen Shenshen shouted loudly.

The entire maple forest was quiet, with only the rustling sound of the autumn wind blowing through the maple leaves.

Shen Shenshen was really panicked this time, and hurriedly turned around to look for his maid.

Suddenly a figure jumped out of the forest, and she was delighted, "Lu... Zhou Yiran?"

"God, God, long time no see." Zhou Yiran still had that handsome face, but this time he was wearing a dark blue linen Taoist robe, dressed like a Taoist priest, which seemed somewhat out of place with his overall temperament.

"Why is Chang'an here?"

"Second Miss Shen," he said with a sarcastic smile, "you deliberately walked very slowly in the Taoist temple, visited every hall, and shouted loudly in the maple forest, wasn't it just to lure this young master to show up?"

"Uh..." Shen Shen was speechless for a moment. Was it because his acting was too exaggerated? !

"In fact, there is no need to go to such great lengths. This young master already knew that Shenshen would come to Wuwei Taoist Temple today."

"How did Changan know?"

"Because it was I who told Chang'an. Since we are in the same prince's mansion, it is not difficult to find out everything that my brother has done." Another figure walked out of the maple forest.

"Zhu Chutang?" Shen Shenshen was surprised. She understood that he must have told Zhou Yiran about her whereabouts. He should have told her earlier, otherwise she would have played so many roles in vain.

"It's better to call him Zhuqing, it sounds more friendly." Zhu Chutang smiled, which was a bit creepy.

Shen Shen's eyes rolled around, "Zhu Qing, do you know who Chang'an is? You are courting death if you stay with him."

"God Shen, the strategy of sowing discord is useless. I don't care who Chang'an is. As long as he gets rid of Zhu Yanxiao, I will give him whatever he wants." Zhu Chutang didn't care.

"I'm sorry." Shen Shen looked at the man opposite indifferently. One of them wanted to burn her to death, and the other wanted to clear her name. Neither of them was a good person.

Zhou Yiran said: "Can the gods really not accept me?"

"I haven't forgotten that Chang'an once wanted to burn me to death."

Under Zhu Chutang's puzzled gaze, Zhou Yiran defended himself, "That time I had no choice. How could I bear to sacrifice the gods?"

"I'm sorry. This feeling is too precious. I can't afford it."

"Since the God said so, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

After saying that, he snapped his fingers. After a "pop" sound, many heads emerged from the shadows of the surrounding trees. Gradually, the whole person emerged, there were men and women, a lot of people.

"Capture Miss Shen II alive. If necessary, break her hands and feet to prevent her from escaping." Zhou Yiran's voice was cold.

Zhu Chutang was shocked to see the masked people in the Fenying Hall. When he heard about the broken hands and feet, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He looked at Zhou Yiran in disbelief. It turned out that his close friend was so cruel and heartless that he abandoned the woman he loved.

"Yes, master." The men in black jumped up and grabbed Shen Shenshen.

Shen Shenshen did not dodge, she stood there and smiled at Zhou Yiran and Zhu Chutang. Many guards jumped out from behind her, each holding a sword to block Shen Shenshen, fighting with the people from Fenying Hall who rushed over.

"Hey, you two, we can talk."

"Second Miss Shen, there is nothing more to say at this point."

Before he could finish his words, a pair of slender hands stretched out from the shadow beside Zhou Yiran and suddenly grabbed Zhou Yiran. While he was struggling without any preparation, he was immediately pulled into the darkness.

As the fight was going on, a voice said, "Stop."

Everyone in Feninging Hall saw a handsome young man with a high ponytail and a men's crown, looking at everyone with a smile. He was as gentle as jade, but the words he said were chilling.

"You can all die."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the people who had just helped Zhou Yiran seemed to be poisoned, foaming at the mouth and dying.

Zhu Chutang was so frightened when he saw Zhou Yiran being dragged into the darkness that he stumbled and turned to run away. He was the younger brother of Zhu Shizi and a minor character, so no one chased him.

"God, are you okay?"

"Huai Bi, thank you for today." Shen Shenshen looked at Mu Yejun with a smile.

I have to say that this man is very charming and responsible. If Ziyuan wasn't there, I would have really been attracted to him.

"It's not for Shen Shen, I am also here to purge the traitors in Fen Ying Tang." He touched Shen Shen's head, like he was touching a pet. "Didn't Zhu Yanxiao come to protect you today?"

"No need. There are many Feidao Guards. Besides, don't we have Huaibi?"

"Where is Zhou Yiran?" Shen Shenshen poked half of his head out from in front of him and looked behind him.

"He was subdued by my men. He will be sent to Prince Zhu soon."

"Hehe, then my worries were not in vain."

"Now that Zhou Yiran has been captured, shall we go have lunch?"

"No, we should send him to Ziyuan first. The longer the night, the more trouble we will have. Otherwise, we will fail."

Mu Yejun thought about it and nodded, "Okay. Let's go back to the city."

"Ok."

The two walked side by side, like a perfect couple.

Zhu Yanxiao's flying Taoist guards had already left the Taoist temple quietly. These guards would only obey the orders and dispatches of the Zhu royal family members. They came this time not out of consideration for the safety of Miss Shen Er, but only to complete the specific task assigned by the prince.
