Early in the morning of the second day, Shen Miaolan and Shen Yilan went to say goodbye to the third lady and the old lady respectively. Because it was the first time for the two girls to go out without the escort of their elders, the old lady was naturally not at ease. I deliberately picked two capable mothers in my yard to accompany me. Four additional private guards with higher force values were added to escort them all the way.

After thousands of instructions, people were asked to travel.

As soon as the two girls left, the old lady stroked her eyebrows. said to Cui's mother, who was waiting on the side, "My right eyelid has been jumping today, and I always feel like something is going to happen." ”

Cui's mother was relieved, "Old lady, relax, the Jokhang Temple is in Xicheng, it is an official road, you don't need to take the mountain road, there is no danger." Besides, the old lady personally selected the sixteen of the top private guards in the house to send each other to protect the two girls. This Jokhang Temple is a royal temple and is heavily guarded on all sides. The old lady and relaxed. ”

After listening to Cui's mother's words, the old lady thought about it carefully, and it was the same. A heart has also been put down.

The carriage of the Yongning Marquis Mansion slowly drove out of Rongchang Street and walked in the direction of Xicheng. Sixteen private guards sent each other on both sides, which was quite conspicuous. Pedestrians on the side of the road exchanged ears and talked about which noble family it was.

There are those who have knowledge, and they see the emblem of the Marquis of Ningyuan on the carriage. He lowered his voice and said, "The person sitting on this should be someone from the Yongning Marquis Mansion." Looking at the guard pomp, I thought it should be from General Shenwu's mansion. ”

Master Shen San made meritorious contributions to the country and fought against the Japanese and barbarians. It is quite admired by the people. For a while, everyone accepted Fang Cai's contempt and looked at the carriage with a little envy.

At the corner of Rongchang Street, the carved lattice window on the second floor of the teahouse was open, and two teenagers sitting opposite the bed were looking down the street.

The blue-clothed young man looked in the direction of the carriage of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, and arched his hand at the young man opposite, "General Shenwu is now a saint, congratulations to the fourth brother." ”

The purple-clothed young man withdrew his gaze from the carriage, and raised his sword eyebrows slightly, "Why did the sixth brother congratulate me?"

The sixth prince said with a smile, "General Shenwu is the fourth brother's uncle, how can you not congratulate you on having such an uncle?"

The fourth prince turned the white porcelain painted teacup in his hand, and a smile hung on his lips. He beckoned to the guards standing behind him. The guard, who had been standing straight, took two steps forward and bowed down. The fourth prince tilted his head and whispered two sentences. The guard was stunned for a moment, then nodded and hurried out.

The six princes looked at the series of actions of the four princes, and they were inevitably curious. But he knew that his brother had always been secretive, and he was always not good at asking too much, and his lips moved and he didn't speak after all.

At this time, Shen Miaolan and Shen Yilan, who were being talked about, were nesting in the carriage and playing leaf cards with the little maids. When he had almost lost all the broken silver in his purse, he suddenly heard a sound of people outside mixed with the sound of iron smashing. The carriage also paused, and slowly stopped.

"Yunying, go and ask what's going on outside. Shen Miaolan commanded while holding the leaf card in her hand.

Yun Ying sang, then got up and picked up the colorful curtain of painting Wufu. Only then did I see that many people outside were building roads shirtless.

The little girl suddenly saw so many shirtless men, her face turned red, and she quickly lowered the curtain. Stretched out his hand and pushed the groom who was driving the car, "Second brother, what's going on outside?"

The one who drove the car was the second son of Yun's mother, the second brother of the lark and the cloud warbler. "This section of the road is being repaired, I'm afraid I can't walk it. And tell the girl not to worry, Shen Guard is going to communicate. Let's see if you can accommodate us and make way for us. ”

Shen Miaolan heard clearly in the car, and looked at her sister and each other.

"The Ministry of Industry doesn't seem to have put up a notice lately saying that the road will be built. Moreover, this is an official road, and there are many vehicles and pedestrians passing every day. Suddenly there was a need to build a road, but there was no notice, which is really a bit strange. Shen Yilan lowered her voice and said to Miao Lan.

Shen Miaolan was used to being nervous, so she didn't care, "Is this the only way to Jokhang Temple?"

As he spoke, he lifted up a small gap in the curtains of the carriage and looked out, where their carriage had stopped, and there was a fork in the road where they could get down. She didn't care about what Yilan said, but it was inevitable that she would mumble at this fork in the road. It doesn't matter if the road is repaired without notice, maybe they were notified and they didn't see it. There is a fork in the road near the blocked road, which is a little wrong.

Shen Miaolan lowered the curtain and said to her sister, "There is a fork in the road next to it, where is it going down?"

Shen Yilan didn't go out often, so she was also very dazed and shook her head.

At this time, Shen Lie, who had been communicating with the road repair workers for a long time, held the sword on his waist with one hand, walked to the carriage in three steps and two steps, saluted through the window, and said, "Girl, the people in front of you are building the road, and it is impassable. If you want to arrive at the Jokhang Temple, I am afraid that you will have to get off the official road from the fork in the road next to it and walk a mountain road. Tell the girls if you want to move on, or if you want to go back to the house. ”

When Shen Lie negotiated with the workers in front of him, he found that many of them had the same tattoo on the back of their necks. Most of the workers hired by the Ministry of Industry are strong men recruited from the private sector, but these people in front of them seem to belong to the same organization. Shen Lie replied as he glanced in the direction of the worker, and found that someone was secretly paying attention to this side. Years of experience told him that there was something strange about it. Since they were staring at this, they couldn't explain it themselves. I just hope that the two girls can understand the meaning of turning back to the house.

Shen Miaolan and Shen Yilan both understood the meaning of his words. Yilan spoke up first, "Since it's inconvenient to pass today, let's turn back to the house." ”

"Yes!" Shen Lie responded. After a few steps, he walked to the carriage and waved to everyone and shouted, "Turn back, go home!"

The guards who were originally following the team quickly lined up, ran to Shen Lie's side in unison, and stood in unison on the left and right.

A carriage that followed behind also began to turn the horse's head with the carriage that started with it.

If these people really came for them, I am afraid they would not have escaped so easily. Shen Yilan took Shen Miaolan's hand, and a layer of cold sweat gradually appeared.

Miaolan patted the back of Yilan's hand and said in a low voice, "Sister, don't panic, this is the official way, they don't dare to make a mistake." Besides, Shen Guard is his father's personal guard, and he has good martial arts. The fifteen accompanying guards must not be idle people. ”

"Hmm. Shen Yilan nodded and pulled her sister's hand tight. "Whatever happens, just remember not to be separated from me. It's better for two people to be together than to be alone. ”

"Okay!" Shen Miaolan nodded.

As soon as the words fell, I heard Shen Lie shouting outside, "Protect the girl!" Then there was a burst of soldiers.
