Chapter 317 Which No. 1 Assassin?
The jewelry store has been surrounded.
Shi Li saw Fu Jin, who was in a hurry, through the crowd watching the excitement.
Having lost her, Fu Jin was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Shi Li blinked and was about to speak when Axue's reins were stuffed into her hands.
Looking back——
Very good, Xuan Yiren has disappeared again.
But considering that he is an assassin, maybe it would be better for him to stay in the dark.
Shi Li did not hesitate, but reached out and touched Axue's head, "Then you can stay with me instead of him."
As if she understood what people were saying, Axue gently raised her front hoof.
Unlike in the past, it is now obviously more respectful to Shi Li.
[Hahaha! Axue knows that the anchor’s identity has changed~]
[She used to be a customer, but now she is the boss’ wife. Of course I have to respect her, hahaha~]
[Axue now looks just like me when I meet a relative of my boss while working~]
Axue took Shi Li and walked a few steps forward, and was finally discovered by Fujin.
She first wiped her tears in disbelief, then hurriedly pushed aside the guards blocking her way and rushed over -
"The princess!"
It was also the first time that Shi Li knew that Fu Jin's voice could be so loud.
She patted Axue's head, and the latter knelt obediently to let her dismount.
Shi Li looked at the busy guards around him and said apologetically, "The shopkeeper here is a scout sent by the imperial capital. Someone saved me. Let's go back."
Although everyone present wanted to know what Shi Li went through after being captured, her identity was there after all.
If she doesn't say anything, no one can ask.
Fu Jin didn't care at all. As long as she saw Shi Li come back safely, she would be satisfied.
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Fu Jin immediately arranged water for Shi Li to take a bath.
Shi Li subconsciously looked down at herself.
……
Very good, even with all this dust and dead leaves on her body, it was difficult for Xuan Yi to hug her without any disgust.
Now she completely believed that Xuan Yi must truly love her!
People who are favored are always fearless.
Shi Li made a casual complaint, then started bathing and washing without caring at all.
She was not used to having other people present when she took a bath, so she dismissed her attendants and went into the spacious bath alone.
My whole body was immersed in the warm water, and suddenly my head felt hot and I had the idea of playing a prank.
She first tried to call Fu Jin who was guarding outside the door softly. After making sure that she couldn't hear her, she raised her head and looked around.
Then, he said in the same voice as before: "Xuan Yi."
There was a light knock on the window facing the hot spring pool.
Then, Shi Li heard Xuan Yi's voice clearly coming in, "Want me to go in and accompany you?"
Shi Li: ...
Although ninety-nine percent of the time Xuan Yi was just talking, her face still turned red.
The next moment, he seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and submerged his head in the water. It took a while for the heat on his face to dissipate.
Coming out of the water again, Shi Li quickly glanced at the closed window and said, "I just wanted to ask if you were there."
She responded with a familiar chuckle.
It seemed to tell her that people outside didn't believe a word of it.
By the evening, Sun Jianchen and his son Sun Zhaonan, who were at the front line, hurried back on horseback and anxiously came to the City Lord's Mansion to ask to see Shi Li.
Shi Li was not surprised that they came. He almost got arrested, such a big thing, there was no way his subordinates would have the courage to hide it from the two deputy generals.
But...what does it mean that Sun Zhaonan also came back?
Isn't he supposed to make achievements on the front line?
Shi Li had a premonition that things would not be easy in the near future.
She had been lazily leaning on the beauty couch, but now she sat up, straightened the hairpins on her bun, and then asked Fujin to go out and invite someone in.
Watching Fujin walk out, Shi Li called out again tentatively, "Xuan Yi?"
An echo came from the beam, calm and quiet, "Yes."
With just one word, Shi Li felt completely relieved.
She pursed her lips to hide her smile, and waited calmly for the father and son of the Sun family to come in.
As hurried footsteps approached, Sun Jianchen and Sun Zhaonan walked in, looking exhausted in military uniforms.
No matter who sees these two people, they will feel that they care about the princess very much.
But Shi Li felt that this kind of deliberate display was like showing unwarranted kindness, and was either a traitor or a thief.
Sun Jianchen didn't know what Shi Li was thinking. He frowned and bowed with worry, then asked with concern, "Is the princess okay?"
When Shi Li faced him, she could not say nothing and could only be vague.
"Nothing happened. A knight passed by and happened to be an old friend of my father. He saved me."
She said it seriously, but she didn't know whether Sun Jianchen would believe it.
Anyway, the reason is there, no matter how prestigious he is, he cannot interrogate the princess.
"I'm glad that the princess is alright, I..."
As soon as Shi Li finished speaking, Sun Zhaonan next to her started to steal the show, looking as if he was still frightened.
Shi Li: ...
You'd better not act too much, otherwise the hero who saved me might stand up for the weak and suffer injustice, okay?
