Thousands of Mountains

The soldiers who were having fun all around were so excited that they threw their torches into the sky, and the loud and noisy shouts were mixed with the thunder of the military drums. Everyone's eyes were shining, and they roared at Yin Cen, and their hands were directed at him, and they were slapping their necks. With the act of cutting the throat, the whole tent fell into madness.

Only the bearded general in the middle stared at Yin Cen with his usual expression.

Yin Cen's whole body was tense, one person and one wolf looked at each other, and they both bowed down and did not move. This was the last calm before the blood dripped.

He was still careless, the perverted game in Shule Kingdom exceeded his expectations, not to mention this life, Yin Cen had never seen a wolf in his previous life, and he was so thin that he didn't know how long he hadn't eaten. The teeth are long and bared, and the Yin Cen in front of him is the best food.

However, Yin Cen never imagined that something more serious is yet to come, the door curtain of the aisle was blown off again, and a soldier threw in a man tied up all over. Yin Cen glanced at the wolf from the corner of his eye, and it turned out to be Wu Ye'er!

The cheers around seemed to pause for a while, and after seeing the situation in the arena clearly, there was an even more shocking thunder.

The bound Wu Ye'er stuffed a big ball of cloth into his mouth, and struggled desperately on the ground to no avail. Yin Cen found that he seemed to have been deliberately whipped on the back, and the dripping blood flowed faster and faster as he struggled.

Smelling the blood|smell, the wolf instantly turned around and rushed towards Wu Ye'er like an arrow.

Yin Cen's faster figure flashed past, and he was already in front of Wu Ye'er. The wolf pounced on Yin Cen, his fangs were close at hand. Entering the shoulder, Yin Cen's internal force pierced through, the wolf threw back half an inch, and its sharp claws swept across Yin Cen's body fiercely, flying a piece of flesh and blood.

The wolves who had already been driven crazy looked even more fiercely, and when they rushed up again, they went straight to Yin Cen's throat, but Yin Cen also found the gap and grabbed the wolf's neck fiercely with his backhand. The smoke and dust filled the air, the hungry wolf was extremely powerful, and Yin Cen's fingers could not penetrate deep into his throat. During the stalemate, Yin Cen, who had been abused for months, began to lose his strength.

Sweat poured down from his body, his fangs approached inch by inch, but Yin Cen thought that he would be buried in the mouth of a wolf, thinking that he would have a thousand plans in his life.

Just as he was gasping for breath, the cheers and drums around the tent suddenly stopped. Yin Cen saw behind the wolf, a skyrocketing fire rose outside the tent, someone shouted, and all the soldiers stood up with panicked faces rushing outward.

Yin Cen didn't know what happened, but no matter how chaotic the surroundings were, the wolf in front of him was absolutely determined not to let him go, and the suffocation hit him, and Yin Cen felt that he was about to be unable to hold on.

At this moment, Yin Cen heard a vigorous and powerful shout in front of him, "Cen'er, take the knife!"

Before Yin Cen could think about it, he saw a familiar figure in black passing by in the chaotic stands, Shen Cang!Yin Cen's eyes widened grimly, and tears filled his eyes in an instant. Shen Cang was fighting Cangran general, and he threw a long and thin white blade from a distance. Yin Cen used his last strength to throw the wolf into the air. , got a moment of gap and flew forward, holding the knife firmly in his hand.

That powerful, familiar, and confident feeling spread all over the body instantly, Qingshan Ren, I miss you so much!

Yin Cen, who got the green mountain blade, turned around and cut sharply. The hungry wolf's head was separated. Yin Cen flew past Wu Ye'er and cut the binding rope. At this moment, Shen Cang also flew to their side, and lifted the two of them straight up. Skimmed the tent and rushed out of the encirclement.

Only then did Yin Cen see that the entire camp was in chaos, with fires one after another, the soldiers were busy putting out the fire, Shen Cang led the two of them and ran all the way in the opposite direction, Cang Ran followed closely behind and came out. When they got to the camp, they saw two horses prancing from a distance, and Yijian Mei, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, was neighing and running towards Yin Cen.

Yin Cen only felt that there were thousands of words in his heart to say to the person in front of him, but he couldn't stay for a moment, Yin Cen grabbed Shen Cang, "I can't go yet, my sister, Yin Cun, is still inside."

Shen Cang turned his head to see the pursuers, dragged Yin Cen forward, and said with difficulty, "Before I set fire to the granary, I had searched all the military tents, and searched all corners of the camp..."

"I don't believe it! She was arrested with me, and came here together, and an officer on horseback led her all the way..."

"You saw her enter the camp with your own eyes?" Shen Cang shouted.

"No..." Yin Cen couldn't answer. It's not that he didn't think about the worst ending, but he just didn't want to believe it. Yin Cen himself almost died here several times along the way, let alone Yin Cun, a nine-year-old girl. Weak girl, but she died without seeing her body, Yin Cen couldn't believe anything she said.

"If I can find you, I will definitely not let go of every corner of this place." Shen Cang looked at Yin Cen, "Maybe Yin Cun has already..."

More soldiers came here on horseback holding torches, "Let's go!" Shen Cang didn't dare to delay any longer, he picked up Yin Cen and threw him on the horse's back, and the horse's hooves were clanging forcefully, and the three of them quickly Leap into the boundless darkness.

Not daring to stay all the way, he ran straight to the border between Shule Kingdom and Daning. Shen Cang was sure that there would be no one following behind him, and Yin Cen breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that the Qilian Mountains were in front of him.

Still not following the official path, Shen Cang took Yin Cen and Wu Ye'er into the deep mountains and jungles.Wu Ye'er didn't ask Shen Cang's identity, but followed the two silently. The three of them were silent all the way, Shen Cang always paid attention to the surrounding situation, Yin Cen and Wu Ye'er only cared about being exhausted.

At night, Shen Cang found a safe hole to shelter from the wind, and the three of them huddled together. At this time, they only had wild fruits to satisfy their hunger and stream water to satisfy their hunger.Yin Cen felt that the experience of the past six months was stuck in his throat, and he looked at Shen Cang several times, but he didn't speak after all.

Shen Cang rubbed his head, leaned over his shoulders, and said, "I'm late."

Yin Cen choked his throat again in an instant, and suppressed the tears that were about to rush out of his eyes. After a while, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "I thought I had seen a ghost..."

Shen Cang was also stunned for a while, and slightly mocked, "If I don't come again, you really have seen a ghost."

"You..." Yin Cen stretched out his hand and punched him.

"After all, I've trained you for so long, why can't you even beat a wolf?" Shen Cang said in an unbelievable tone.

Yin Cen was set on fire, "Try to starve for two or three months, your whole body will be injured, and then kill a wolf unarmed and show me!" He was so angry that he wanted to stand up and leave.

"Don't quarrel... Finally escaped." Wu Ye'er pressed Yin Cen and coaxed softly, "This brother saved us anyway."

Yin Cen turned his back to Shen Cang, feeling extremely wronged in his heart, the person who was about to pierce his heart, now he was in front of him, but he didn't feel any pity for him, thanks to him reciting this name every day, he really fed the dog with his sincerity.

Shen Cang was kind enough to start a routine with Wu Ye'er, and asked Wu Ye'er what he did before his name and identity. At the beginning, I knelt down to recognize my master.

Not long after, the exhausted three fell asleep. In the middle of the night, Yin Cen was pushed awake by someone on the shoulder. Shen Cang gestured to him, and the two came out of the cave quietly.

Shen Cang took Yin Cen a little far away, and after confirming that there was no one around and that it was safe, he said seriously, "This time not only the seven guards in Kansai were slaughtered, but also the southeast area was not peaceful. If General Yun hadn't discovered the other party's spies earlier and made In order to take precautions, several state capitals in the southeast may also be in danger."

"The general transferred me back to the barracks because of this incident. After I dealt with the spies secretly, I heard about the tragedy on the way back to Chaha Town. I tracked all the way to the desert camp in Shule Kingdom, and I found you here." .”

"What happened behind the scenes is unknown. Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for such a coincidence. At almost the same time, Daning's north-south defense line was hit almost destructively."

Shen Cang paused, "This matter can only be investigated later."

After finishing speaking in one breath, Shen Cang found that Yin Cen didn't speak, just stared at him blankly, Shen Cang waved his hand in front of his eyes, "Is this stupid?"

Yin Cen knocked off his hand, "I don't blame you, I just really thought I was going to die, thinking that if you spend most of the rest of your life looking for me, I feel..."

"How?" Shen Cang raised his eyebrows.

"I'm sorry for you." Yin Cen said seriously.

Shen Cang: "..."

Alas, with a sigh, it turned out to be true.

"Chaha Town is gone, where are we going?" Yin Cen asked.

"Go to the imperial city." Shen Cang blinked his eyes.

"What are you going to do?" Yin Cen was suspicious.

"You have to protect a person and gain his trust."

"Protect who?"

Shen Cang was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Prince Chen Ji."

Yin Cen thought for a while, but didn't understand the relationship between them, "Why should I protect him and make him trust me?"

"This is a matter for the future, let's do this first."

"Who asked me to do it? You? Or, my general father?" Yin Cen pouted.

Shen Cang remained calm, "Yes, General Yun."

Yin Cen couldn't help ridiculing, "It's weird, I haven't seen him since I was born, even though he is my father, he is basically the same as a stranger, where do you have the confidence that I will definitely listen to him? "

Shen Cang didn't respond, and fell into silence again, and finally said, "The slaughter of Chaha Town is not simple. The general and I don't believe that it was just an enemy country's sudden invasion. If you want to find out who killed If you adopt your parents and kill Yin Cistan, you have to go to the place closest to the power."

Yin Cen was silent, bowed his head for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Shen Cang, the moonlight in the dense forest couldn't shine in, Shen Cang couldn't see the ruthlessness bursting out from Yin Cen's eyes, Yin Cen finally nodded, "Okay, I go."

Shen Cang patted him on the shoulder, and the two of them turned back. Yin Cen remembered something and asked, "Then my brother, Wu Ye'er, too?"

"Aside from you and my general, there is no need for anyone else to know about this matter. Wu Ye'er can stay by my side and be a helper."

At dawn the next day, the three of them continued on their way. Qingyuan Mansion, the once prosperous capital, was now only desolate. All the way to the east, the population gradually became denser. After passing Yuzhou, they turned north, and after traveling for more than a month, they finally arrived at the center of Daning Kingdom—— Yanjing Imperial City.

Both Yin Cen and Wu Ye'er came to Beijing for the first time, and it was the first time they went back to such a crowded market. On both sides, there were sugar paintings, steamed hawthorn cakes, stewed noodles, and rattles... small stalls and shouting Stretching forward endlessly, behind the small stalls are a row of serious shops of all sizes, brocade silk and satin clothing shops, rouge and gouache shops that are many times larger than Chaha Town, and the four-story Lion House Restaurant. The restaurant is said to be the favorite place for the nobles in the capital... and from time to time, there will be a four-wheeled carriage with tall horses rumbling past, showing the good days of the capital everywhere.

Shen Cangti walked around with two and a half boys, and if he didn't pay attention, he would run away. He deliberately chose such a busy road, which relieved a lot of the depression in Yin Cen's heart.

Shen Cang bought a house in Pai'er Hutong in the center of the city. It is a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle. People of all kinds are used to coming and going, and the three of them go in and out without attracting attention. Finally, there is a place to stay, and the body and mind that has been running around for days are finally at ease. relax.

Wu Ye'er didn't ask any more questions all the way. He seemed to be the survivor of a catastrophe, and met Shen Cang, a top expert. He was already so happy that he didn't care. Just a little instruction, Ma Liuliu is a good hand.

After nursing for a few days, when Yin Cun's injuries were almost healed, Shen Cang started to act.

Shen Cang put Yin Cen in tattered clothes, led him to a bustling trading market in Nancheng, and handed him over to a black-faced man who looked like a butcher. The black-faced man dragged Yin Cen and pushed him into the A dark room.

Yin Cen looked around, and there were all ragged boys who were around his age, huddled together one by one, and the black-faced man dragged Yin Cen to the front, facing a person who was drinking tea with his legs crossed Said, "Grandpa Ai, these are all fresh products from today, all of them come from innocent sources, and all eight generations of the family have died|extinct. Do you think you are satisfied?"

"Especially this one," the black-faced man pointed at Yin Cen, "this little face is fair and tender, it's not just right."

But the father-in-law who was drinking tea opened his mouth and let out a "bah", "You think I'm choosing a godson? This is choosing a personal servant for the prince. Cleanliness is the most basic thing, and you have to be discerning, smart, and able to protect people. "

"Yes, yes, yes," the black-faced man stretched out his legs and kicked Yin Cen, "Go away."

Yin Cen dodged it sideways, raised his legs slightly, hooked his feet, and with a little force, he threw the black-faced man staggeringly. The man got up and wanted to hit someone, but Eunuch Ai came out behind him. voice, "Stop—"

Eunuch Ai got up, squinted his eyes and swayed, came over and pinched Yin Cen's wrist, "I still have some strength, yes, where is your home?"

Yin Cen raised his eyes and looked at his father-in-law. When he mentioned home, his eyes really turned red, "My family is in Chaha Town, Kansai. My parents and sisters..." Seeing that tears were about to roll down, Eunuch Ai patted Patting him on the shoulder, he said in a drawn-out voice, "I understand——Chaha Town, the whole city has been slaughtered, and it's a poor man."

After finishing speaking, he said to the black-faced man, "Let's just send him here today."

The black-faced man didn't care about the pain, he nodded repeatedly in response.

In the evening of that day, Yin Cen followed the black-faced man to a large mansion close to the imperial palace. From a distance, he could see the vermilion courtyard walls stretching and stretching. People took them, bypassed the main entrance, and entered from the back door.

A man who looked like a housekeeper told him that this is the mansion bestowed by the emperor to the crown prince Chen Ji. Today is the first day the crown prince formally enters the mansion, and he has to take care of it carefully.

Yin Cen responded, and hurriedly cleaned himself up before the prince came.

A table of exquisite dishes is prepared in the kitchen, and a warm brocade quilt that has just been exposed to the sun is arranged in the bedroom. The garden yard is cleaned spotlessly, golden carps are wagging their tails in the pool, the charcoal fire in the house is warming up, and the lanterns are brightly lit. ... All the servants of the mansion were waiting respectfully in the yard, waiting for the prince and master to move into the mansion today.

Yin Cen also stood in the crowd with his legs straight, respectful.
