Venomous Empress Reborn Chapter 448 - Returning to the capital (4)

Chapter 448: Returning to the capital (4)
Someone nearby heard her voice and turned to look. The moment he saw the group of people, he screamed, “It’s General Shen. General Shen is back!”
Shen Xin had always remained a respectable figure in the hearts of the people of Ming Qi. In the past two years, the Xie family couldn’t recover from the death of Xie JIngxing and the Shen family moved away, it really made people feel sad. When the people of the State of Qin and the Daliang Dynasty came to the capital, they suddenly felt that no one was there to protect them anymore. At this moment, Shen Xin’s appearance undoubtedly gave the people a boost of confidence. Immediately, more and more people surrounded Shen Xin and exclaimed, “General Shen is back!”
For a moment, the cheering crowd almost blocked the entire street. The citizens were shouting fanatically, and their faces were filled with admiration. Luo Tan covered her mouth. “Oh my god, Uncle is so respected by the people in the capital.”
Outside, Luo Ling and the others looked a little troubled. It was a good thing to be welcomed and praised. Every year, when Shen Xin returned to the capital in triumph, he would receive the respect of the people. However, this time, Shen Xin did not come back after winning a battle. Instead, he was summoned back by the emperor two years after he was chased out of the capital. The louder the cheers of the people, the louder the slap was on the emperor. How could the emperor be happy with that?
In the carriage, Luo Xueyan and Shen Miao’s expressions darkened, especially Shen Miao’s. Her gaze suddenly turned cold. Only Luo Tan did not know the hidden danger and was happy.
The street was blocked, so Shen Xin could only ask his guards to explain to the people. When the people heard this, although they were still standing on both sides of the street and looking, they were not as excited as before and made their way.
Mo Qing and Ah Zhi rode their horses to find a house first. Just as Shen Miao said, there was a street next to Yanqing Alley in the south of the city, and the house there was not bad. Now that Shen Xin had spent a lot of money on reorganizing the Luo army, he was not as rich as before. Even so, Shen Miao insisted on living in a house in the south of the city, so Shen Xin agreed without hesitation.
The carriage headed south of the city.
The closer they were to Yanqing Alley, the fewer people there were. This was because most of the people living around Yanqing Alley were either rich or noble. The commoners could not afford to live there. Most of the commoners who followed along had dispersed gradually, and the carriage was moving smoothly. Mo Qing and the others quickly returned to report that they had already found a house. The renter trusted Shen Xin, so he didn’t ask for a security deposit.
When they were only a wall away from Yanqing Alley, a gust of wind suddenly blew open the curtain of the carriage Shen Miao was sitting in.
Shen Miao narrowed her eyes. Seeing this, Luo Tan asked, “What’s wrong?”
Shen Miao glanced at the curtain of the carriage and shook her head. “Nothing.” However, she was secretly alarmed. Just now, she actually felt like she was being watched. That kind of gaze made her extremely uncomfortable.
On a tall building in the distance, a young man holding a jade flute and a woman stood side by side. The woman was as beautiful as a flower and was wearing a golden dress. She had large eyes and a small mouth, and her entire body was covered in pearls. This tacky jewelry did not look ugly on her. Instead, it made her look exquisite and beautiful. She glanced at the carriage in the distance and said disdainfully, “Is this General Shen’s family? Looks like he’s not what he used to be.”
The man beside her was about 20 years old and looked a little like her. He was considered handsome, but because his nose was a little crooked, he looked more vicious. He smiled and said, “To be able to make the Ming Qi royal family afraid, he’s not simple.”
