Hidden Sky Light

The carriage stopped at the herbal tea shop on the road.

Another half day has passed, and there is still more than half a day's journey to Qingguan City. It will arrive after dusk, and the horses need to drink enough water and feed grass.

This road is not easy to go early, otherwise it won't take so long. The road bumped once and hit a stone. Uncle Fu was careful and checked the carriage on one side.

A Nian wanted to feed the horses. Anyway, he sat in the carriage for a long time. Shen Ci took A Nian to the stable to feed the horses.

A Nian stuck with Shen Ci for a few days, and then started sticking with Chen Ling again.

Even if Shen Ci was there, he had to pull Chen Ling along to watch him feed the horses.

A Nian's height was just enough to reach the gap in the stables. Shen Ci squatted down, took it, and reached out with him to hold the horses that were fed to them.

No one has ever brought Anian along to feed the horse grass before. This experience is very novel, "It ate it!"

A Nian looked at Chen Ling in surprise, "Look, it's eating grass!"

Chen Ling smiled.

When A Nian was excited, Shen Ci took him all the time, gently and patiently telling him how to feed the horse grass, the horse liked it the most.

Ah Nian was very happy when she did these novel things, and the joy of the child was written in her eyes.

Shen Ci hugged him again, tightened the reins with one hand, and taught him to reach out and try to touch the horse's mane with the other.

Ah Nian exclaimed "Wow~".

Chen Ling knew that he liked…

"Uncle Shen, I still want to feed the horse!" Anian thought it was very interesting to feed the horse with grass, so Shen Ci put him down and told him, "Be careful."

Anian nodded.

He remembered what Uncle Shen said just now, and A Nian did it little by little.

Ah Nian is very smart, much like Chen Ling's smart...

Shen Ci crossed his arms and looked at A Nian, Chen Ling was by his side, both of them looked at A Nian, but they were standing, and there was no one else in the herbal tea shop, so Shen Ci spoke first, "Cao Zhidu, Huo Lianqu, Chu Pingyu, and An Yunbai have never heard of them except Chu Pingyu who had seen them in Beijing earlier, is it safe?"

He remembered most of Chen Ling's companions when he was in the East Palace. Those people have been in the East Palace for a long time, and he knows everything.

But among these names, except for one Chu Pingyu, the rest were almost completely unfamiliar to him, and they were all his cronies who were promoted by Chen Ling after he left Beijing.

Chu Pingyu's reputation in Beijing was not very good earlier, and he was a famous playboy. The Chu family is an aristocratic family, and in Licheng he also heard that Chu Pingyu got into trouble in Beijing, and the Chu family spent a lot of effort to transfer him out to do idle jobs and quell the troubles in Beijing. But at the moment, Chu Pingyu's external transfer should actually be what Chen Ling meant.

In just a few short years, Chen Ling did not assign these people to important positions. Except for Chu Pingyu, the others were rarely heard, and others would not pay attention.

After he left Beijing, there were many things around Chen Ling, and many people were different from before...

When he asked, Chen Ling didn't hide it, "Apart from Chu Pingyu, Cao Zhidu is also a son of an aristocratic family. Cao Zhidu was born in Cao Guimian's outer chamber, the Cao family is attached to the Luo family, and with Mrs. Luo around, Cao Guimian will not Dare to recognize Cao Zhidu's son, but Cao Zhidu's talent is very good, and he is more accomplished in water conservancy. Cao Guimian tried his best to put him in the construction of water conservancy ditches in Mintang two years ago, so I happened to meet him. , he is safe and available, and he is also very calm. Over time, he will not only be in the Ministry of Industry. Now the Quzhou water conservancy fortification is under construction for a period of three years. ."

"As for Huo Lianqu and An Yunbai," Chen Ling looked at him, "they are the children of the poor family, you have never seen them before. Over the years, the families have been hindering each other, and there must always be plans. Cao Zhidu, Huo Lianqu, Chu Pingyu Among the four people and An Yunbai, except for Cao Zhidu, I started to transfer to various places after I returned to the East Palace. The time was not short, the official position was not high, and it was not noticeable, but I did a lot of things and it was safe. It has been released for several years, and I just took the opportunity of this rebellion against King Tan to transfer a few people to the right place, justifiably…”

Shen Ci knew that Chen Ling said it was easy, but it was not easy to take every step of the way. If you want to put these people under the eyes of so many people in the DPRK, if you are not careful, there will be rumors.

In his thoughts, Chen Ling also slowly asked him, "How about you?"

This seemed to be the first time she had asked him about it in the past few days.

Shen Ci also looked at her, "You didn't put someone next to me?"

Chen Ling was slightly surprised, "What am I doing with people beside you?"

Shen Ci said in a low voice, "Chen Ling, didn't you tell Mommy Fang to tell me that it's a long way to go to Licheng, and there's nothing to do in the future, so you don't have to go back to Beijing?"

Chen Ling was stunned, but did not respond.

Shen Ci lowered his eyebrows and smiled, then turned to say, "Didn't you ask me how I was at the border gate? You'll be able to climb out of a pile of dead people, and you won't let someone you want in where the spring breeze isn't good..."

Chen Ling's eyes were slightly stagnant.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves sounded far behind, Shen Ci was alert, many people...

Far away, Chen Ling didn't hear much, and Shen Ci said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

Chen Ling called out, "A Nian."

A Nian obediently stepped forward, and Chen Ling picked him up.

"Uncle Fu, get ready to go!" Shen Ci called, Uncle Fu responded, and Shen Ci took the horse out of the stable. The horse was not full, but the place was not stable at the moment.

Shen Ci led the horse, and Chen Ling walked beside him with A Nian in his arms.

Shen Ci whispered, "Let's go back to the carriage first. If you have something to do later, just hide behind me."

Chen Ling nodded, and then he heard a series of hooves, much more than the twenty or thirty horsemen he encountered on the way earlier...

Chen Ling frowned slightly, "Zi An?"

Before Shen Ci could answer, the other party had already arrived.

There were more than forty or fifty riders, and they should have come here with fast horses and whips, and the sound of horse hooves and neighing was as loud as the sky.

Shen Ci calmly said to Uncle Fu, "Uncle Fu, load the car."

Uncle Fu was frightened and quickly responded, "Hey!"

To put the horse back on the carriage, fasten the ropes, and check whether the horse can go on the road, Uncle Fu hurriedly did it while trembling.

Shen Ci looked at Chen Ling, who could not recognize her appearance.

He stretched out his hand to hold her. Chen Ling didn't know if he was trying to look good or just naturally, but a garrison had already stepped forward and said impatiently, "Look up!"

It was said by Chong Shenci.

The other party held the portrait in his hand. It was a routine check on the road. The rest of the garrison had been drinking water at the herbal tea shop, but they were not seated. They should be on their way immediately after drinking the water. people, so it won't stay for long.

The other party only looked at Shen Ci, and Chen Ling vaguely saw that there was only one head on the portrait.

If they were looking for her and Anian, they should be two.

Something was wrong... Chen Ling held it in his heart, and the other party clearly looked at Shen Ci, then at the portrait, and repeated this twice.

Not really.

The garrison said casually, "Let's go."

Chen Ling felt slightly relieved.

She changed back to the women's clothes, and the mask returned to Shen Ci's place. Before getting off the carriage, Shen Ci brought the mask, so the three of them are not the three of them before, and the possibility of being recognized is very small. Although I don't know who these garrison troops are looking for, the number is twice as many as those who were looking for Chen Xian earlier. If there is a conflict, it will be difficult to escape.

"Get on the carriage." Shen Ci whispered, Chen Ling hugged A Nian and nodded.

But just after taking a step, a voice came from behind, "Stop!"

Chen Ling was surprised, didn't the other party check it, and turned around and turned back?

Shen Ci did not look back, but whispered to Chen Ling, "Remember what I said earlier? Go to Qingguan City, find a garden in the east, and leave a mark ten meters away..."

Chen Ling was stunned, why did he say this?

A habitual smile appeared on Shen Ci's face, and he continued, "You and Uncle Fu go first, I'm fine, if I don't come back by midnight today, you and Uncle Fu will leave as soon as possible, follow the route to Yuyue, and Xiaowu will be late. We have so many garrisoned troops in one day, Xiao Wu must be vigilant, he will take you out of Fuyang in less than half a day, and let Xiao Wu take you out of Fuyang, remember?"

Chen Ling froze.

"Get in the carriage, now." Shen Ci said again, not saying anything.

Looking at each other, Chen Ling's nose was slightly red. Seeing the garrison leader behind him step forward, Chen Ling turned around and let A Nian get on the carriage first, and then also got on the carriage.

The footsteps stopped behind him, and Shen Ci slowly turned around.

Just now he saw Lou Chi.

Lou Chi is one of Tan Jin's subordinates. He met in the army earlier. Lou Chi has been following Tan Guangsi for the past few years and is Tan Guangsi's lieutenant.

Lou Chi was there, indicating that Tan Guangsi was probably also nearby, and A Ling was not safe here.

Lou Chi has seen him before. The leather face of this human body will change its appearance when worn on the belt, but it is also the original appearance. It's hard to deal with, he may not be able to leave this time, that's why he asked Chen Ling so much...

Lou Chi really looked back and forth between Shen's speech and the portrait several times, and it really didn't look like it.

But he had seen Shen Ci when he was at the border of Licheng.

At that time, the little general went to the border for training and happened to fight side by side with Shen Ci, and the back figure just now was very familiar...

The face doesn't look like it, but it feels a lot like it.

Lou Chi raised his head to look at Shen Ci again, "Stretch out your hand."

On the carriage, Chen Ling could hear the outside of the carriage, so he couldn't help holding his breath. Shen Ci was wearing a mask and probably couldn't recognize it, but Shen Ci was a general who led troops. If there is a clue, even if you don't recognize Shen Ci, on such a road, there will be troubles.

Chen Ling was so nervous that he swallowed softly in his throat, and A Nian also asked softly, "Where's Uncle Shen?"

Chen Ling forced himself to keep quiet, "Uncle Shen is fine, don't make a sound."

Ah Nian was obedient and didn't say anything, and didn't look outside the carriage.

Outside the carriage, Shen Ci stretched out his hand, really revealing the calluses on his hand.

Lou Chi looked at him, and he also looked at Lou Chi.

Lou Chi chuckled, "General Shen, long time no see."

They have fought side by side, Shen Ci's face is not the same, but the body shape, including the movement of reaching out just now, and the calluses on his hands are all the same.

Shen Ci said in a hoarse voice, "You have recognized the wrong person."

Lou Chi sneered, "It doesn't matter if you admit the wrong person. I would rather admit the wrong person than let it go. The general and the people on the carriage, please come with us."

Chen Ling was shocked, did he recognize it?

Shen Ci looked at him, "Is there still Wang Fa?"

Lou Chi stepped forward and said, "Here, I am Wang Fa. General, don't let the situation be difficult."

Shen Ci stopped pretending and resumed his earlier voice, "What? When did the Shen family offend you Tanzhou?"

Lou Chi laughed, "Is General Shen unclear? Whoever General Shen took away must be returned."

Shen Ci also smiled, "I don't understand what you said?"

After just saying that, he suddenly suppressed the smile in his eyes, and regained his eyes in the Licheng army earlier, "But you Tanzhou must be the enemy of the Shen family and me, Lou Chi, you can't get out of here today. ."

Lou Chi also restrained his smile, he had seen Shen Ci on the battlefield.

But right now, he is the only one.

Lou Chi stretched out his hand and pressed it on the saber, and the garrison behind him also drew the saber.

"Uncle Fu! Go!" Shen Ci shouted.

Uncle Fu panicked, Chen Ling clenched his fingertips, did he want to stay alone? !

Chen Ling's eyes turned red, Shen Ci!

But just as he was about to get up, Uncle Fu suddenly hit the whip, and the carriage suddenly galloped away. Chen Ling could only hold on to the handrail in the carriage with one hand and Ah Nian with the other, while Ah Nian fell off.

Outside the carriage, the garrison was about to chase after him. Shen Ci stopped in front of him, took off the mask on his face little by little, and said solemnly, "Whoever wants to go over, just step on my Shen Ci's body."

Lou Chi glanced at the distant carriage and frowned, "General Shen, are you crazy? There are forty or fifty people here, and you don't have a knife..."

Shen Ci looked at him and said solemnly, "My sword, I only go into battle to kill the enemy and serve the country, not the people of the country and the soldiers in the army. If you want to use it, just use your sword!"

All around were stunned and shocked.

Including Lou Chi.

Lou Chi took a deep breath, still in his mind when he was fighting side by side at the border, handing over his back to Shen Ci's security, trust and friendship, Lou Chi whispered, "Okay, General Shen, I respect you! But today, No one can leave."

Lou Chi waved his hand, and the garrison behind him quickly stepped forward.

But almost at the same time, Shen Ci knocked down one person in the garrison, grabbed the saber and killed the two people next to him, and everyone around was shocked. This skill and speed were completely different from the garrison that he had seen in peacetime!

"Go!" Lou Chi stared.

Immediately no one dared to be careless!

Shen Ci was a person who fought against Xi Rong at the border. Anyone who was careless or merciful would have no choice but to die.

Shen Ci beheaded the two and seized two sabres. Soon the third and fourth people who approached were also killed by the sword. Lou Chi knew very well that it was not easy to deal with Shen Ci, but Shen Ci was not without flaws. , Lou Chi looked to the side, "Get on the horse and chase the carriage!"

Shen Ci turned his head and saw two people jumping on the horse.

Almost at the same time, the two garrisoned troops by his side rushed towards him at the same time, knocked him to the ground, and scuffled in one place. The saber in the other's hand was inserted on the side of his head, and Shen Ci grabbed one of them who was holding him down. , brought the person to the place of the saber heavily, the man's throat was cut by the blade of the saber, Shen Ci's weight suddenly lightened, he turned over, grabbed the saber and stabbed the remaining person.

The speed is astonishing.

While the others were shocked, Shen Ci grabbed the saber in his hand and threw it at the two people on the horseback. In an instant, the people on the horseback fell to the ground, leaving only the frightened horse roaring and galloping away!

All around staring blankly.

But Shen Ci suffered a pain in the back and was hit twice.

He was able to avoid it just now, but the time to avoid it would not be able to stop the two riders who had just passed.

Shen Ci turned around and looked around at him without feeling a little backward.

Lou Chi's eyes were scarlet, "Shen Ci, you don't want to die!"

Shen Ci was holding a saber in his hand, and his eyes were already red, "Who will try it again!"

The person who was just about to jump on the horse didn't even dare to move rashly.

But Lou Chi knew from the bottom of his heart that no matter how powerful Shen Ci was, there was only one person, and the battle of the people here could kill him, and then he chased the people in the carriage in front.

Lou Chi pulled out his saber from his waist and stepped forward, with killing intent in his eyes, "Then step over you!"
