Wang Jin saw Shen Wei's worries, reached out and picked up the iron kettle, and added tea to the cup in front of Shen Wei. While adding tea, he said, "The general doesn't have to worry too much, although the second prince is ruthless, Xu Lei is not the young man in his early twenties." Su Jiang has always had a complicated heart, Xu Lei has been able to gain a firm foothold there over the years, and he has lived a good life, which shows that he still has the means. Moreover, Xu Lei was also mentioned in the letter from home before, and there must have been arrangements. ”

Shen Wei watched the yellow-green clear tea soup rush into the cup, and the faint aroma rushed into his nose with the heat, which made people feel calm. He smiled, "You're right, I really shouldn't be too worried. The main thing is that worrying is useless. As he spoke, Shen Wei picked up the cup of tea, blew it, and drank it all. Putting down the teacup, he looked up and asked, "What's going on on Your Majesty's side?"

Wang Jin shook his head: "Madame's letter did not mention it. However, there was some movement on the third prince's side. ”

"Oh?" Shen Wei immediately asked, "What's the movement?"

Wang Jin said: "Did the general remember that when the eldest prince was alive, there was a strategist named Wenqu in the palace?"

Shen Wei frowned and thought for a while before he remembered who this person was, and wondered, "Hasn't this person disappeared?"

"Recently, it appeared again, and it entered the door of the third prince. Wang Jin said.

After Shen Wei heard this, he suddenly fell into deep thought.

Wang Jin looked at it, puzzled, and waited for a while before asking in a low voice, "What did the general think of?"

Shen Wei replied, "After the death of the eldest prince, he went to the palace to have a deep talk with His Majesty. After he left, His Majesty came to me and asked me to secretly investigate the daily life and diet of the eldest prince. I didn't think much about it at the time, and after some investigation, I didn't find anything. Later, the Wenqu disappeared. After he disappeared, within a month, the second prince was assassinated three times in a row, although they were unsuccessful, but the second prince was scared enough, the second prince's biological mother was worried about his safety, went to His Majesty to intercede, let the second prince move into the palace, lived for three months, and only moved back to the original residence after making sure that it was safe. ”

Wang Jin listened to these words, and also began to recall the past: "At that time, I was near the assassination on Chengping Street, and I happened to see it. That time, if it weren't for the fact that the commander of the forbidden army happened to be nearby, the second prince would probably have died under the assassin's sword. ”

"After those assassinations, there were rumors in the court that the death of the eldest prince was not a death of illness, but a chronic poisoning. Shen Wei said again.

After Wang Jin was stunned for a moment, his expression changed slightly, and his voice couldn't help but be lowered, "What does the general mean is that the death of the eldest prince may be related to the second prince?"

Shen Wei sighed and said, "At first, I was only slightly suspicious, but now it seems that it should be true." Otherwise, this literary song would not have suddenly appeared at this time. ”

Wang Jin looked shocked, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "I remember, the eldest prince died of illness at that time, and it seems that it was not long after His Majesty planned to establish the prince." ”

Shen Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Now that I think about it, the ambition of the second prince should have been there at that time. ”

Wang Jin's face was still shocked, he rubbed his thigh with one hand, and said, "The second prince was less than twenty at that time, right? ”

"Yes, it was back then, let alone now. It seems that this battle is really difficult to fight. Shen Wei said, smiling bitterly again.

Wang Jin was shocked in his heart, looked at Shen Wei, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered comforting, "The general doesn't have to be discouraged. No matter what, we will accompany you in life and death, advance and retreat together. ”

Shen Wei smiled, took a deep breath, and said, "There is something I want to ask you for." ”

Wang Jin was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "The general commands." ”

"The Lin Gongzi who followed Ping'er's side, and the girl named Qingguo, you have already seen it just now. Shen Wei said.

Wang Jin nodded.

"If you can't do anything then, you can help me take him and the girl away, and don't stay. When Shen Wei spoke, his eyelids drooped, hiding the thick guilt in his eyes.

Wang Jin was a little surprised. Looking at Shen Wei, after hesitating for a while, he cautiously asked tentatively, "What is the relationship between this Lin Gongzi and that girl?"

Shen Wei replied: "He is the benefactor of my Shen family. Ping'er was able to come back from Dayuan before, and it was all his credit. Lin Gongzi is righteous, once something happens at that time, he will never watch us die and flee alone. My Shen family already owes him a lot, and I don't want to bother him anymore!So, if things really come to a desperate situation at that time, then you can help me take them and the two of them away, okay?"

Wang Jin hesitated.

Seeing this, Shen Wei said again, "Your wife has already given birth, right?"

Wang Jin was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth immediately overflowed with a smile, he couldn't suppress it, and nodded and said, "Well, it's born, it's a kid." ”

Shen Wei also laughed, "Hello boy, is it famous?"

Wang Jin shook his head: "I want to wait for the general to give me a name!"

"Okay, then I'll think about it. Saying that, Shen Wei really thought about it seriously. After a long while, he said, "How about calling Mu An?"

After Wang Jin was stunned for a moment, he was overjoyed, "Okay! General Xie gave him a name!" he said, took a step back, and was about to bow down. Shen Wei leaned over to stop him, and after he sat down again, he said, "What I said just now, please leave it to you." ”

The smile on Wang Jin's face suddenly disappeared, and he groaned for a while, and said, "Don't worry, general, I will order this matter later, and select ten people to be responsible for the retreat of Lin Gongzi and that girl." ”

Shen Wei listened, and frowned slightly, "What about you?"

Wang Jin was silent.

Seeing this, Shen Wei sighed, "I know that you are sincere." It's just that if you die on this road with me, what will happen in Jingzhong? Although the second prince is well prepared this time, His Majesty and the third prince are not unprepared, and he may not be able to win! If he loses, Your Majesty will definitely keep my Shen family safe for decades if he cares about the feelings of the monarch and ministers. At that time, on the lady's side, there must be a competent person to help take care of the affairs of the family. The animal husbandry has been delayed all these years, and he also needs someone to help control it, Uncle Lian is already old, and he can't do much of these things. If you go back, I will be able to rest assured!"

"But......" Wang Jin wanted to argue a few more words, but Shen Wei raised his hand to signal him not to say more, and said, "I still have one more matter, I want to ask you." ”

Wang Jin took a deep breath, bowed his head and said, "General, just give orders." ”

"Madame, if Ping'er and I can't return safely this time, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it. Therefore, when the time comes, I hope that you can make Mu An recognize her as a stepmother, and often take the child to her to go around, so as to relieve her worries. Shen Wei said.

Wang Jin lowered his head, and after a long silence, he moved his knees back and bowed down.

Wang Jin took the order. ”

Shen Wei laughed, his eyes slightly red.

Although he was prepared for this trip out of the city, he actually had the heart to die.

In this battle, if the second prince wins, then whether he goes out of the city or not, the final result will be the same. The Shen family can't escape being settled by the Autumn Queen, and the best is just exile, and at worst, they will be beheaded all over the house. With the heart of the second prince, the latter is the most likely.

If the second prince loses, if he stays in Anding City, he will inevitably be made a fuss about this matter, and he will have to buckle a hat that he and the second prince secretly teamed up. Therefore, instead of being tarnished and innocent at that time, it is better to simply fight bravely now. Even if the chance is slim, even if he really dies on the way back to Beijing, His Majesty will definitely keep his Shen family safe if he cares about his attitude of going back to Beijing to save the driver regardless of life and death.

He also has a daughter and a son, although the pastoral industry is not very competitive, but in the end it is also his own blood. I don't want him to be glorious and rich, I just want him to be stable and stable, and the Shen family's bloodline can be continued, and the death of him and Ping'er is worth it.

It's just this child......

When Shen Wei thought of this, guilt surged in his heart, and he sighed secretly......

The mighty convoy finally left the city in a state of immersion.

On the official road outside the city, there is no one in sight.

The sky was even more gloomy, and night was approaching.

Shen Muzhi, who was walking next to the carriage, glanced back at Anding City, which was gradually disappearing in the wind and snow, and couldn't help but feel a little solemn in his heart.

Blizzard Killing Night.

Will the old thing come after you?

Liu Guan seemed to hear Shen Muzhi's heart, and suddenly appeared outside the city gate.

The big gray sleeves fluttered in the wind, and his white hair danced wildly in the wind and snow, and the whole person seemed to be one with the wind and snow.

He squinted his eyes as he looked at the convoy in the distance, which was gradually moving into the snow.

Suddenly, the wind was stronger, and the snow was heavier.

Xuan Cheng, who was walking next to Shen Muzhi, seemed to have feelings, and the long sword behind his back trembled, making a buzzing sound. Xuan Cheng frowned, turned his head to look in the direction of the city gate, and his face immediately sank.

"He's coming......"

The muffled voice, as soon as it exited, was swallowed up by the sound of the howling wind. But Shen Muzhi still heard it.

He reached out and touched his chest, where under his clothes, a piece of jade pendant hung from a rope.

It was sent by Brother He Xian.

Brother He Xian said that this jade pendant can block the full force of the cultivator of the Heteroscope Realm.

However, Xuan Cheng also said that the old thing should already be an Upper Realm monk.

He turned his head to look at the carriage beside him. In the carriage, Shen Muping was already asleep. Qingguo was sitting alone in the corner, flipping through a book that Shen Muping had given her.

Suddenly, her expression changed slightly, she put down the book in her hand, and got out of the carriage.

"Here he comes. Qingguo looked panicked.

Shen Muzhi nodded and replied, "I know." After speaking, he smiled slightly and said, "You go in first, it's snowing outside." ”

It was probably his calmness that soothed her.

She also laughed, her eyes were crooked, her gaze was clear and bright, as if it was the brightest star in the night sky, which made people's hearts instantly sweep away the haze and be clear.

"Hmm. She replied softly, and without hesitation, turned and entered the carriage.

Once inside, she sat back in the corner, picked up the book, flipped to the page, and read it again.

Outside the carriage, Shen Muzhi was silent for a while, then said to Xuan Cheng, and then turned his horse's head and went back to Shen Wei's carriage. After shouting outside the carriage, he handed the horse to the man next to him, then got into the carriage and got into the carriage.

Wang Jin saw him come in, hesitated for a moment, got up and gave up his seat to him, and then went out by himself.
