In charge

When the border war started, Emperor Yuanming didn't panic, there were generals guarding the border, and one hundred thousand was not a lot, so he could handle it for a while.

When the news reached Shu Yunci's ears, she laughed, "How old is Hua Zhiguo? They only have 20 troops in the whole country, but they use [-] to provoke them. If there is no one behind them, who will believe it?"

This point was also mentioned in the analysis of the border situation in the previous dynasty.Emperor Yuan Ming wanted to find out what forces were backing Hua Zhiguo, and also wanted to find out what the other party's real purpose was?As soon as he was busy with the political affairs of the previous dynasty, Shu Yunci came to condolences to his father with the tonic he made himself.

Seeing his daughter's considerate and well-behaved appearance, Emperor Yuanming deeply felt that it was better for her to be her daughter. This is a caring little padded jacket.

"Father, I have heard a little about Hua Zhiguo's crime, and I am curious about the main messenger behind it, so I want to go and see." Shu Yunci felt that he had read thousands of books, and it was time for him to travel thousands of miles.

"Nonsense!" Emperor Yuanming refused without thinking. "You are a princess, golden branches and jade leaves, how can you go to the battlefield? How dangerous."

Shu Yunci raised his head, "Father, do you not believe that your subjects have the ability to protect themselves?"

"Uh..." How could Emperor Yuan Ming say that he didn't believe it?Wouldn't that hurt the baby girl's self-esteem?But a 14-year-old girl wants to go to the border where the war is fought, not to mention that he is the emperor, but who can agree to any real father?

"Father—" Shu Yunci's acting like a baby is really not something that ordinary people can see, nor can ordinary people refuse.

Just like that, Princess Zeyin acted coquettishly and acted cute, which warmed Emperor Yuanming's heart. She couldn't say a single word, so she agreed in a muddle-headed manner.

After taking care of the most important person, Shu Yunci has to deal with the big old man.

When Shu Zhengwei heard that she was going to the border, he didn't object.But he let the five ghosts go out for a while, and when he came back, the fat old man was holding a long box in his hand.

The long box was handed over to her, she opened it, and as expected, there was a long sword inside.

"For you." Shu Zhengwei said.

"I haven't chosen a weapon for so long, but I don't know what kind of weapon I want." Shu Yunci was arrogant again.

Shu Zhengwei didn't even bother to talk to her.

Shu Yunci put down the box and took out the long sword.The scabbard is silvery white, with a light blue shimmer looming, it is extremely beautiful.Her hand lightly stroked the scabbard, then the hilt, her fingers touched the spring, and when she pressed it, the long sword was unsheathed.

The sword body is as blue as lake water, no matter from which angle you look at it, it seems that there is water rolling on the sword body.With a wave of Shu Yunci's hand, a corner of the stone table in the room was cut off.Even if she is used to seeing good things, she has to admit that this is a weapon worthy of her.

She looked at the sword carefully from top to bottom, but she didn't find the name of the sword on it. "Old man, what kind of sword is this?"

"Call Master!" Shu Zhengwei said with a serious face.

"Master." Shu Yunci got a good thing, of course he knows how to make the old man happy.

"Little Ci'er, this is the Yuhu sword. It was forged from the molten iron extracted from the thousand-year-old town lake stone under the Yuhu Lake." Before Shu Zhengwei had time to speak, the bearded old man vented his frustration.

"Get out!" Shu Zhengwei was robbed of the limelight, and with a wave of his sleeve, not only the bearded old man, but also the other four old men were swept out of the room by his internal force.

The five ghosts fell down one by one, and they couldn't say anything. The four ghosts looked at the bearded old man with resentment, which meant accusing him of talking too much.The bearded old man flattened his mouth in a gesture of grievance.

"Jade Lake Sword?" Shu Yunci looked at the sword in his hand, "Where did Master get it?"

Shu Zhengwei coughed, "This is the sword of the royal family of the Yin Kingdom, which has been passed down for hundreds of years. It was only more than 100 years ago that there was a political struggle within the royal family, and many members of the royal family died, and this sword was also lost at that time. Little Ci'er, do you know how this secret room at the bottom of the lake came about?"

With Shu Yunci's intelligence, he immediately understood what Shu Zhengwei meant. "To save your life?"

Shu Zhengwei was noncommittal. "I have been hiding in the palace for decades, and I know how many mouse holes there are in the palace.

Makes sense.This sword was discovered by accident, and the day I found it was the day you were born. "

Shu Yunci smiled, "So I'm destined to have this sword." She put the Yuhu Sword back into the box, and came to sit beside Shu Zhengwei, "Master, there can't be outsiders in the palace. Why would Father allow it?" Have you lived with the five ghosts for decades?"

She had wanted to ask this question a long time ago.It was no accident that Shu Zhengwei took her as his apprentice. Emperor Yuan Ming knew about the existence of these six people all along, but he didn't say anything. What kind of chess are these adults playing?

"You don't know?" Shu Zhengwei found it interesting.This girl is so arrogant that she doesn't know about it.

"I have guessed some, but I still hope that Master can tell me." Shu Yunci was not hypocritical, and expressed his guess.

In her opinion, at such an advanced age, Shu Zhengwei certainly couldn't have lived in after Emperor Yuanming succeeded to the throne, that is, he had lived in Emperor Yuanming's father, that is, her grandfather Emperor Fengde.This must have been approved by Emperor Fengde.So what is the reason?Even if Shu Zhengwei is a child of the royal family, and his father's meritorious service is in Sheji, there is no precedent for him to live in seclusion in a secret room at the bottom of the lake.

"It can't be all because of me." Shu Yunci had such a guess, but she overturned it immediately.Even if a fortune teller really figured out that Shu Zhengwei wanted to take her as his apprentice, he could wait until after she was born before living in the palace, why decades earlier?

"Do you think that everyone in the world can practice Guiyuan Kungfu to the third level in just a few years like you?" Shu Zhengwei said angrily, "I practiced Guiyuan Kungfu for 20 years before Practice to great success." Even so, he is still a rare martial arts prodigy.He is the only person who has practiced Guiyuan Gong in a hundred years.

Shu Yunci stopped talking.She felt that what she said now was showing off and provoking the old man.Young people should know how to respect the old and love the young.

Shu Zhengwei did indeed get angrier the more he looked at her. This girl's high talent is one thing, but the hard work the day after tomorrow is the most important thing.There are always people who attribute a person's success to high talent, thus obliterating the person's acquired diligence and hard work.As if a talented person can succeed by doing nothing.

Shu Yunci is ruthless to herself, which few people can do.She pushed herself to the limit, and then enjoyed the happy feeling of dying and being born again.Even Shu Zhengwei often felt that this little girl was so strong that she was almost insane.

"The swordsmanship taught by the five ghosts is enough for you to cope with this trip to the border." He knew that Shu Yunci had always wanted to learn his own swordsmanship, it wasn't that he didn't teach it, the point was that this girl simply didn't have time to learn it!

Sure enough, Shu Yunci pouted, a little dissatisfied. "If I knew it earlier, I would have spent a few nights less to learn your swordsmanship."

Shu Zhengwei took a deep breath, trying not to get angry.What is this girl's sword technique?The five ghosts have been with him for most of their lives, and they haven't comprehended the essence of swordsmanship until now. This girl... how long does it take to learn it?Crazy is not so crazy.

Seeing Shu Zhengwei angry, Shu Yunci found it quite amusing.She helped Shu Zhengwei trim his long beard, "Old man, your beard is so long, may I braid it for you?"

Shu Zhengwei immediately grabbed back his beard, and then he heard Shu Yunci's arrogant laughter from near to far.

Shu Zhengwei frowned, and said to the five ghosts who came in through the door: "Who has this girl been with lately? Why is she getting more and more naughty?"

Of course Zhong Zhaoyuan was worried about her daughter going away.But Shu Yunci didn't say that he was going to the border where the war was going on.It's just that I have to go out for a while, at least one month, and at most three months will come back.

Zhong Zhaoyuan always listened to her daughter, although she was reluctant and worried, she could only nod her head.

Since she was not in the palace, Zhong Zhaoyuan had absolutely no ability to protect herself, so Shu Yunci had to go to Concubine Shen to ask Concubine Shen to take care of her mother.

Concubine Shen Gui and Shu Yunci had no interest relationship, so naturally she agreed.

Emperor Yuanming also knew what Shu Yunci was most worried about when he left Beijing, and he promised to take care of Zhong Zhaoyuan, so Shu Yunci was relieved.

As for Jiang Fengmin, she had no intention of telling Jiang Fengmin at all.It's not that she can't trust Jiang Fengmin, because Jiang Fengmin

To practice the Frost Art, there should be no delay in time.Furthermore, she asked Jiang Fengmin to follow Lei Shaoyuan to learn the Spinning Spear, and also supervised the blood silkworm to learn the Yuehua Jue, so she couldn't leave at all.

Besides... Do I have to ask Jiang Fengmin to accompany me?

When she left Beijing this time, she only brought the silk bottle with her.Of course, Emperor Yuanming was worried, and secretly sent some masters to follow Shu Yunci.He thought that Shu Yunci would not find out, but he didn't know that Shu Yunci had already noticed from the moment these masters started following them.

Shu Yunci would not refuse her father's kindness.Anyway, it would be easy for her to get rid of these people.

Shu Yunci hired an ordinary carriage and traveled westward.The driver who drove the coach walked the road from the capital to Kaiyang Mansion all the year round, so he was very familiar with the land.In the carriage, Shu Yunci was leaning on a soft pillow, reading a local chronicle.

Si Ping sat aside, put a few candied fruit on a small plate by Shu Yunci's hand.

Shu Yunci seldom eats snacks, probably her mind is too mature, and she has no interest in this kind of food that only children love to eat.But Zhong Zhaoyuan always asked the silk bottle to prepare some for Shu Yunci. The mother always felt that her daughter was a child who hadn't grown up, let alone Shu Yunci had never grown up.

"Kaiyang Mansion is next to the capital city, so it is said that it is a very rich place. But along the way, I can't see where it is rich." Shu Yunci felt a little strange.

She spoke in a moderate voice, the coachman who was driving the car outside was very talkative, and she didn't know the identity of the little girl in the car, she only thought of it as a lady from a wealthy family.The interface said: "Miss does not know, this Kaiyang Mansion is very big. The road we are walking now belongs to Hongyi Town, and it was also a lively and bustling place in the past two years, but in the past two years, I heard that the town is haunted, and everyone died. Many people have been killed, the government can’t catch anyone, and the people in the town are afraid, so they move away one after another, so this place is getting more and more desolate.”

When Si Ping heard that there were ghosts, she was so frightened that she went to see Shu Yunci.Seeing Shu Yunci's big eyes sparkling, his face full of curiosity.She pouted helplessly, her master probably didn't know how to write the word "fear".

"Brother, aren't you afraid? It looks easy on you." Si Fing opened the curtain of the car and chatted with the driver.

"Hey! I haven't done anything wrong, so what's there to be afraid of? Besides, this ghost only comes out at night. At night, we'll rush to the next place. Girl, people can't live here," said the coachman. Then, he whipped his whip on the horses, and the two tall horses neighed at the same time, and ran faster.
