Chapter 029: Regret

"What kind of secret is hidden in the things left by Empress Duanjing, how did you provoke the eagle dogs of the imperial court to stab us repeatedly?" When she escaped from danger and fled to the depths of the jungle to rest again, Shen Yan finally couldn't help it, she hoped that Li Chengqi could tell her the truth. Pen? Interesting?

"This secret," Li Chengqi looked at Shen Yan and said in a frightened manner, "The more people who know, the more people will die, and the sooner you know, the sooner you will die." So Miss Shen still doesn't know for the time being. ”

"We are grasshoppers in the same boat now, and if we want to die, we will die together. What else do you have to hide from me? Shen Yan was furious.

Li Chengqi sank his face and said seriously, "I won't tell you, not only for your good, but also for Ling Zun's good." ”

Hearing this, Shen Yan was frightened. She no longer wanted to know the secrets left by Empress Duanjing, nor did she want to be in the same boat with them and endure so many dangers. Immediately, she took a step back and said, "In that case, I will not walk with you." She turned and wanted to leave.

"Stop." Li Chengqi scolded coldly, "The matter has come to this, do you think you can still stay out of it?" Instead of going back and bringing this disaster to your Shen family, it is better to follow me and ask for a thorough understanding. ”

What Li Chengqi said is self-righteous. Even if he didn't tell Shen Yan the secret, those eagle dogs from the imperial court might not think that Shen Yan didn't know the secret, and they would still kill her in the end just in case.

For a while, Shen Yan was difficult to ride a tiger and regretted it. Knowing that there would be so many troubles and thrills, she would not have followed Li Chengqi from Ning'an City to her current situation.

"Those people, will they be bad for my father?" What she is most worried about now is that she has caused a big disaster, and instead of helping her father, she will bring death to her father.

"As long as you don't go back and contact Ling Zun now, Ling Zun will be fine." Li Chengqi is very sure of this.

Seeing that Shen Yan no longer had the intention of escaping, Ning Anhou also calmed her uneasy mood, Huo Qing stepped forward and asked worriedly: "Master Hou, the imperial court eagle dog is so persevering, how can we enter the city?" I'm afraid that at the gate of the city, there are already people waiting for us to throw themselves into the net. ”

Li Chengqi was silent, and after pondering for a long time, he suddenly set his eyes on Shen Yan, and said with joy: "Aren't you good at disguise techniques?" ”

He wanted to use Shen Yan's disguise technique to avoid the imperial eagle dog. This is a good idea, but it is difficult for a clever daughter-in-law to cook without rice, and Shen Yan has no tools and materials to disguise, and she cannot display her skills. However, when she said the difficulty, Li Chengqi took the idea and asked Huo Qing to find the materials and tools that Shen Yan needed nearby. He has to use it to hide from danger.

After Huo Qing left, Li Chengqi and Shen Yan were not idle. They gathered some dry wood and prepared to light a fire in the dense forest to welcome the sunset.

In the middle of the dense forest, the air is particularly humid. As soon as the sun set, Shen Yan felt more and more cold. She finally couldn't bear it anymore, took out Li Chengqi's cloak, and wrapped herself in Guzi.

"You don't wronged yourself." Li Chengqi looked at her and laughed.

Shen Yan glanced at him and didn't make a sound. Lonely man and widow, she doesn't want to talk to him more, lest there be a conflict and he will mess with herself again. However, the more she didn't speak, the more Lee Seung-ki wanted to tease her. Driven by this emotion, he shifted his body towards her.

"What are you going to do?" Shen Yan was alert and stood up in an instant.

Li Chengqi only felt funny, and said unhurriedly: "In this deep mountain and wild forest, if I really want to do something, no matter how vigilant you are, I am afraid that there is no room for turnaround." ”

Shen Yan was disgusted by the way he looked. But hearing him say this, she was relieved. She walked across from him and sat down again.

Li Chengqi shook his head and smiled, and then accepted his thoughts of teasing her. He took out the cross-shaped iron vessel with the word "salty" written on it from his bosom, looked at it again and again by the light of the fire, and pondered for a long time.

"You said that the reason why the people of the imperial court chased and killed us was because of the things left by Empress Duanjing, how did they know that Empress Duanjing's things were in your hands?" Shen Yan suddenly thought of it, so she asked.

"This question, I'm afraid I have to ask Ling Zun." Li Chengqi put away the iron tools and looked at Shen Yan with deep eyes.

What do you mean by that? Don't you suspect that my dad told someone else about this? When Shen Yan asked this question, she suddenly thought that her father had been to Gu Mangu's house in the capital. Father and Master Gu Mangu are close friends of life and death, and he really told him the secret left by Empress Duanjing. However, Gu Man is trustworthy, and his father who will not betray him is.

"What do you think?" Li Chengqi saw that she was distracted, so he asked her sensitively, "Ling Zun went to the capital to get the brocade box given by Queen Duanjing, have you been to other places and accidentally leaked the news?" ”

"If it's something important, Master Gu won't talk nonsense."

As soon as Li Chengqi heard this, he confirmed the guess in his heart. He suddenly realized: "Don't forget, Gu Chongzhi, the only son of Lord Gu, is the one who changed Ling Zun from a high-ranking prime minister to a small governor in Ning'an City." ”

"What exactly is ......" Shen Yan was impatient, and she couldn't help but want to ask the secret left by Empress Duanjing. It's just that she quickly stopped talking and didn't say her doubts.

"Don't ask too much, don't think too much." Li Chengqi knew her thoughts, so he seriously reminded, "I can only tell you that this matter is related to my Great Zhou Jiangshan Sheji, and you can't talk nonsense until the critical time." The reason why we were killed is because the imperial court has long known that Empress Duanjing has left an earth-shattering secret. ”

Shen Yan only felt that the road ahead was terrifying, she had no intention of stepping on this road, and there was no possibility of maneuvering. She was shocked and asked, "Then how did you know this secret?" Just rely on the ** left by the queen? ”

"That's right." Li Chengqi said and looked into the distance, his expression instantly became sluggish. He seemed to be recalling something.

Shen Yan didn't bother him, and rubbed her cold hands against the fire.

Not long after, Huo Qing hurried back with the tools and materials that Yi Rong could use. He said: "Master Hou, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, those people are going to come over." ”

"Let's walk through this forest, find a place to hide for the night, and then change our appearance into the city tomorrow morning." Li Chengqi made a decision unhurriedly.

It was very easy to hide after dark, and the night passed quickly. Early the next morning, under Shen Yan's meticulous crafting, an elderly couple and a son in their thirties appeared.

"Miss Shen, how can I be my father and let Hou Ye be my son?" When Huo Qing saw Li Chengqi's young appearance, he was in a hurry, "I took this man's white hair for the Hou Ye." ”

"It's all dressed up, and I can't change it if I want to." Shen Yan was very proud, and after saying that, she beckoned to Li Chengqi and said in a hoarse and slightly trembling voice: "My son, come here, hold my mother well." ”
