Chapter 255 I want to meet someone within a month.
After paying the shopkeeper another three thousand taels of silver as a reward, Shen Shuyi asked the shopkeeper to send the people he had bought earlier to an inn near Jiang Li's home, and then left with Jinzhu and Yuping.
The shopkeeper's eyes fell on Shen Shuyi's back, and he waved to the clerk, "Have someone check her background, and take the job if there's no problem."
"Yes."
As soon as the shopkeeper turned around, he bumped into a cold suit of armor. When he met the newcomer, he smiled and said respectfully, "Lord Ye Lan, what can the prince do for you?"
"The prince invites you." Ye Lan was the guard who had been guarding under the curtain before. He had a cold face and a shallow scar on one of his eyebrows, but he was still handsome.
"Yes... yes!" The shopkeeper swallowed and responded immediately.
A moment later, the shopkeeper appeared in the private room where the Wolf King was, hunched over, holding his breath, with his head tightly lowered, not daring to breathe.
"What does Shen Shuyi want you to do?"
The man was still sitting on the couch in that lazy posture. When he saw the shopkeeper coming in, he just raised his eyelids lazily, showing little patience.
The shopkeeper immediately presented the portrait left by Shen Shuyi to Ye Lan and said cautiously, "Miss Shen ordered me to find the person in the portrait and find two maids who are good at martial arts."
The man slowly raised his hands. His slender and clear fingers, unlike those of an ordinary man with broad joints, were particularly beautiful. It was hard to believe that these were hands that had taken countless lives.
The man raised his eyes and glanced at the portrait. It was drawn with just a few strokes. It was not delicate and exquisite, but it was quite charming. People could see the characteristics of the person in the portrait at a glance.
He had seen her painting skills before. Although this painting was sloppy, it was full of charm.
It’s easier to find with a portrait.
"I want to see him within a month." He loosened his fingers and the portrait fell lightly to the ground.
The shopkeeper's heart trembled, and a thin layer of sweat oozed out of his forehead: "Yes, we must gather our forces and find this person as soon as possible."
Ye Lan waved his hand, and the shopkeeper picked up the portrait on the ground and hurried away.
As soon as I left the room, my calves started to feel weak and I was suddenly aware that I was sweating.
"Send someone to keep an eye on her and see what she does with these people." The man spoke softly, his beautiful phoenix eyes deep and dark.
Ye Lan responded: "Yes."

After Shen Shuyi left with Yuping and Jinzhu, he went directly to the house rented by Jiang Li.
At present, in addition to Jiang Li and Jiang Lian, there are some of Jiang Li's trusted subordinates in the house. In addition, he also added a few maids for Jiang Lian.
The back door of the house led to an alley, and beggars and vagrants delivering letters would often knock on the back door.
Shen Shuyi first ordered someone to go to the inn to pick him up, and then arranged for a few people to erase the traces left by his arrival.
Jiang Lian ran out of the hall and was extremely happy to see Shen Shuyi.
In order to avoid being seen, she still dressed as a man and painted her skin black and yellow.
"Sister Shuyi, you haven't been here for a long time." Jiang Lian wanted to take her arm, but when she realized that she was dressed as a man, she gave up.
"There are a lot of things going on in the mansion, so I can't leave for the moment." Shen Shuyi spoke in a gentle voice, carefully looking at Jiang Lian in front of him.
Compared to the beginning, she has grown taller, and her figure has changed from unhealthily thin to much more graceful. In addition to these, the most important thing is that her beautiful eyes have become brighter, making her whole person full of life.
"Sister Shuyi, what's wrong?" Jiang Lian felt a little embarrassed when she looked at him.
Shen Shuyi looked at that face carefully for a while, then smiled softly: "Jiang Lian, have you ever thought about your previous life?"
Jiang Lian was a little puzzled: "Previous life?"
Shen Shuyi explained: "My life before I was separated from my family."
Jiang Lian was stunned for a moment, shook her head, and said to Shen Shuyi: "I think my life is very good now. I have a brother and sister Shuyi. I can also cure diseases and save lives. There are many things I can do."
Shen Shuyi didn't ask any more questions, but when he glanced at the herbs drying in the yard, he couldn't help but pause.
Jiang Lian explained: "It snowed this morning, and the sun was nice at noon, so I thought of drying the herbs. Otherwise, when the weather gets cold and it snows, I won't be able to dry many herbs in time."
Thinking of this, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but think of what happened in this winter. He turned to look at Yuping and said, "Give 30,000 taels of silver to Jiang Lian."
Jiang Lian was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Shen Shuyi say, "Before winter comes, prepare more herbs, especially those for treating fever, typhoid fever, and frostbite. The more the better."
If she hadn't met Jiang Lian today, she would have forgotten that she should stock up more herbs and food.
"Yes." Seeing that Shen Shuyi wanted her to do something, Jiang Lian did not refuse.
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "You and Jiang Li have a lot of people to support right now, so prepare more food."
"Sister Shuyi, do you think this winter will be difficult?" Jiang Lian has always been very smart.
Shen Shuyi looked up at the sky and said softly, "The snow came early this year, and the weather is colder than usual. I'm afraid it will be a cold winter."
"Before winter comes, prepare a few sets of winter clothes for yourself, Jiang Li, and your subordinates. If it is really a cold winter, it will take a long time to prepare them after winter comes."
Jiang Lian curled her eyes and felt a warmth in her heart.
As they were talking, Jiang Li came back from outside and saw Shen Shuyi. Just as he was about to greet her, Shen Shuyi interrupted him and said, "Let's not talk about this, Jiang Li, I treat you as a friend."
Jiang Li paused for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice: "Miss Shen."
As he was talking, the people that Shen Shuyi bought also arrived. He looked at Jiang Li and said, "Xingwanglou occasionally has some good people. If you are short of people, you can go over and pick some."
"I bought these guys today. You can take them with you and see which one you can use."
"Thank you, Miss." Jiang Li glanced at the few people and asked someone to take them away first.
"Send someone to keep a close eye on Song Tingshan's movements. He must have made some moves during this period. Also, if anyone is trying to find out about me, don't let them notice our relationship."
Shen Shuyi once again reminded her that Xiao Tingshan would definitely be suspicious of her after this incident and would send someone to investigate her again.
She didn’t care about anything else, but she didn’t want him to pay attention to Jiang Li so soon.
"Don't worry, miss."
As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, several men in front of the door came back and said to Jiang Lian, "Miss, all traces of Miss Shen's visit have been wiped out. I found two groups of people watching Miss's whereabouts, but they were unable to follow after our people intercepted them."
Shen Shuyi's eyes were cold. Two groups?
It seems that Xiao Tingshan has woken up, at least, he will not die.
I don’t know who the other group of people are.
Could it be the Qin family?

At this moment, a spy quietly returned to Xingwang Tower and knelt in front of Ye Lan.
After hearing what he said, Ye Lan frowned and turned back to the private room: "Your Majesty, we lost them. The other side had someone to pick them up. They made a feint to the east and attacked in the west. Our people were careless."
The man in the dark red python robe raised his eyebrows, seemingly not surprised, and said in a cold voice: "Ask the shopkeeper to send Qin Xin and Jian Po to her."
Ye Lan was stunned for a moment: "Yes."
