Chapter 515 Getting Into The Tiger's Lair (Part One)

Yun Shang nodded her head slightly. In this dangerous state of Xia, they must seize every opportunity to find a possible ally.

"Your ladyship, the secret guard said that someone was following you when you went to the pharmacy the other day." Qian Yin was standing at the gate of the yard. When she saw Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan coming back together, she said hurriedly, "that person was not following you that closely, so the secret guards didn't notice him at first, but later they heard him asking the owner of the pharmacy about what kinds of herbs you have bought."

"Did it happen when you went asking the shops about the Seven-day Drunk that day?" Hearing this, Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang and asked.

Yun Shang nodded her head. "Yes, I changed my face yesterday when I went out. I was a mere envoy in the state of Ning, but I was followed by someone. I guess that he must be the person who have done something bad to Wang Jinhuan. It was them who drugged Wang Jinhuan with the Seven-day Drunk. Now that they know what I have bought in the shop.

A secret guard followed her. Qian Yin moved two steps forward, with her eyes fixed on the dagger on the ground, and was about to reach for it. Yun Shang stopped her, "wait, be careful. We don't know if there's poison on it."

Qian Yin was surprised. She then quickly took out a brocade handkerchief from her waist, squatted down, carefully wrapped the dagger with it, and handed it to Yun Shang.

Yun Shang lowered her eyes to have a look at the dagger, and said with a slight smile, "this dagger is inlaid with pearls of this size. Its owner must be very wealthy. Take it with us. I'd like to see what they are up to. "

Not long after they returned to the post house, her secret guards came back. "I didn't catch her up. There seemed to be a hidden path in the yard. I've searched everywhere, but I didn't see her at all."
