"There's moreβ€”" Someone exclaimed, but in the thorny bushes behind them, which had deviated from the mountain path, a large amount of blood was found.

Like the blood stains on the edge of the cliff, the blood stains were clear and fresh.

Could it be ......

Lei Bingwen and Qu Ling's hearts sank at the same time, and a bad premonition came to their hearts.

The two rushed over together, but the more they looked, the more frightened they became-

Fang Cai only thought about chasing forward, and didn't pay attention to his feet at all. At this time, I carefully investigated, and on the mountain road a few feet away, there were not two rut marks. And the obvious one is deeper, and the other is shallower.

And a short distance further along the crooked trajectory, there was a pool of blood that was spurting out.

Qu Ling dipped her finger in it and sniffed it, and her face became even more ugly:

"It's the blood of livestock."

The sight was immediately glued to a deep scratch on the edge of the cliff!

"What a good thing this is!" Rao is Lei Bingwen, and he is also messed up at this time.

In fact, all kinds of situations show a fact, it is clear that there is a car that has fallen off the cliff due to a frightened horse!

But according to the results of the previous pursuit of the two, the carriage that escaped from this road was **, and it was the fifth prince Ji Sheng who was holding Yang Xihe hostage!

If it was really a carriage falling off a cliff......

The two leaned down to look down, only to feel dizzy and bottomless. At this moment, a wild wind passed by his ears, and when the wind was too strong, a guard near the edge of the cliff was blown so that his body could not stop swaying, and in a panic, he hurriedly retreated, not beware, but he just kicked a stubborn stone, which was the size of a grinding disc, and it was already loosened after being hit so hard, and it fell down the cliff when he landed. But I didn't hear an echo for a long time.

"How high should this cliff be......" A brocade-clothed guard smacked his lips, someone really fell from here, I'm afraid it will be physical.

"I'll go down and see." Qu Ling gritted her teeth.

Ji Sheng is the prince after all, and if he really falls into a pulp like this, the emperor must feel uncomfortable. Not to mention that Yang Xihe-

Wasn't it because of her that the adult went from a killing machine to a living person with the joys and sorrows of ordinary people? If you die here, I can't imagine what will happen to adults......

"No, the wind is big and the cliff is deep, and there is no good point to borrow......" Lei Bingwen frowned.

Before the words fell, Qu Ling had already flown down like a big bird.

Lei Bingwen raised it in his heart, but he was helpless. I had to tell my subordinates to quickly find some ropes to be ready for rescue at any time.

After about a stick of incense, Qu Ling's figure finally reappeared, but there was obviously a lot of moss on his hands and feet, the clothes on his arms were scratched, and a hideous scar on his fair skin loomed.

Lei Bingwen frowned and handed over a cloak:

"Any clues?"

Qu Ling shook her head, her expression gloomy. Fang just jumped one after another, and he was afraid that he had fallen more than one or twenty zhang, but he still couldn't see where the bottom of the cliff was...... It is really falling from such a high place, even immortals can hardly survive......

It wasn't until two days later, under the leadership of the local mountain people, that Qu Ling and Lei Bingwen finally bypassed many obstacles and came to the bottom of the cliff where the incident occurred, only to see a broken carriage and the remaining horse skull gnawed by wild beasts, in addition to several pools of dried blood, and a jade pendant.

After being identified by the servants serving the five princes in the palace, is it owned by the five princes Ji Sheng?!

On the same day, the news of Qinzhou's victory was sent to the imperial court by a fast horse-

Yang Zefang, who insisted on Qinzhou, finally waited for the long-awaited rescue of the four princes Ji Lin, and Shen Chengli, who had been killed all the way from Linzhou, joined forces and made dumplings for the rebels and Xiliao. In particular, Shen Cheng killed the leader of the rebels in the array of ten thousand armies and captured the prince of Xiliao alive.

When the news came, the world was shocked.

Under the agitation of the emperor, he laughed three times in the court, but immediately spat blood from his mouth and fainted on the throne. When he woke up, the first holy decree was to summon the crown prince to return to Beijing, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the prince's accession to the throne; As for the second holy decree, the British Duke Shen Cheng was appointed as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and the crown prince Yang Zefang and others accompanied the prince to Beijing to receive the reward.

When the news broke, the whole country shook.

The war is peaceful, and the prince, as the prince, returns to the dynasty is the proper meaning of the title. As for Yang Zefang, he has long been a famous Confucian all over the world, and he has a great merit in defending Qinzhou, and the emperor can't overuse it.

Only that Shen Cheng was beyond everyone's expectations.

After all, the entire imperial capital doesn't know which family, Shen Cheng's father, Shen Qingyun, was a confidant and confidant who followed the fifth prince Ji Sheng before, and it was not nice to say that when he held heavy power, he didn't stumble on the prince, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the prince's mortal enemy.

Even if when the emperor belittled Shen Qingyun, Tete reserved Shen Cheng with the title of Duke of the Kingdom, in the eyes of many people, it was just an expedient measure. After all, Shen Cheng fought bloodily on the front line, and the victory or defeat of the battle in Qinzhou played a crucial role.

But once the war is over, there will definitely be no more Shen family members to support him. If you can't say it, you will find an excuse to put Shen Cheng aside, and after a long time, you will just throw it aside and sit on the cold bench.

How could he have thought that the emperor would give Shen Cheng such a heavy power-

In addition to the 100,000 troops sent to Qinzhou by the imperial court before, there are at least 100,000 elite soldiers brought by the prince from the northern border!

The two are combined, and Shen Cheng's subordinates are afraid that they do not have half of the forces of Dazhengtai. I think that when the old prince was alive, when the Shen family was at its peak, it was nothing more than that.

Only when the old prince held the power, he was already in the age of not being confused, how old is this Shen Chengcai? People haven't even married!

Some people are even more puzzled, can the prince endure such a thing? After all, the previous generalissimo was Ji Lin himself. How can the army that was β–‘β–‘ single-handedly have to find a trustworthy person to take over, why can't it be given to the person of the fifth prince Ji Sheng?

Qinzhou.

Just after a big war, Qinzhou is full of ruins and broken walls, and it is extremely desolate to look at.

Shen Qingyun and Zhou Jingwen's hearts were even more panicked than the broken city wall.

The two of them have been imprisoned in the same small courtyard for a long time, and they still had a fluke mentality at first, thinking that now that the five princes are in power, how can they tolerate the loss of the military power in their hands, and it is not long before the imperial court will come to imprison Yang Zefang, and when the two of them return to power, they will definitely teach Yang Zefang to repent and break his intestines.

But I didn't want to look forward to it, I didn't wait for Ji Sheng's people, but I waited for the army of the four princes Ji Lin, and I heard the news that a soul flew out of the sky, the emperor came to power, and then set the crown prince and promulgated the world, but it was not the fifth prince Ji Sheng who they tried to protect, but the four princes Ji Lin who had calculated in many ways before.

"I don't know ...... the court" Shen Qingyun cleared his throat, his voice was dry, but he was just halfway through his speech when he was interrupted by a tsunami-like cheer-

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chitose Chitose!"

"Shen Shuai is mighty!"

"Shen Shuai?" Shen Qingyun was stunned for a moment, but I don't know when there was an extra general surnamed Shen in the army, and he also became a marshal?

Zhou Jingwen was also a little trance--could it be that it was Shen Qingyun's eldest son named Shen Cheng?

But he immediately denied himself.

How can it be!

At this time, Qinzhou is the world's attention. The commander of Qinzhou is even more frequent, and everyone expects it. Then Shen Cheng is young, how can he have such prestige?

Let's take 10,000 steps back and say, since the crown prince Ji Lin is here, he will hand over the handsome position to his closest people no matter what, how can he not let an outsider snatch the credit and military power.

The two were suspicious, and the courtyard door was pushed open from the outside, but it was the handyman who was in charge of taking care of the two people all day walking in with two food boxes.

Different from the gloomy clouds in the past, the miscellaneous servants are beaming with joy these days:

"Eat, the prince will treat the three armies, and the two of you will also be stained, and there will be meat in this dish today."

Got meat to eat? Shen Qingyun and Zhou Jingwen suddenly gave birth to a lot of saliva in their mouths-

Since Qinzhou was besieged, the most vivid memory in the minds of the two of them is hunger, and as for meat, they have tasted it in their dreams.

The two took the food box and couldn't wait to gobble it up.

It wasn't until he reluctantly ate the last bit of broth in the food box that Shen Qingyun held his stomach with one hand and wiped his mouth with the other:

"By the way, the little brother knows the Shen Shuai who was chanting outside before......"

"You said Generalissimo Shen Chengshen!" The miscellaneous servant has a low status, but he doesn't know that Shen Qingyun is Shen Cheng's father. Hearing this, he straightened his belly, looked like he was honored, and remembered something, he glanced at Shen Qingyun with disdain, and muttered, "It's all surnamed Shen, and Generalissimo Shen is called the head of the family, if they are all the same as you, tsk, the ancestors will crawl out of the ground in anger......"

Saying that, he packed up the food box angrily, threw down the stunned Shen Qingyun and Zhou Jingwen, and walked away.

It wasn't until the figure of the handyman disappeared that Shen Qingyun came back to his senses, and desperately banged on the door and howled:

"Let me out, I want to see Shen Cheng."

He screamed several times, where did anyone take care of him?

Shen Qingyun hurriedly changed his rhetoric again, slamming the door "bang" and roaring:

"I'm Shen Cheng's father, let Shen Cheng come over to see me-"

The handyman had just walked not far, and he almost laughed when he heard the words, so he casually threw away the food box, picked up a stick, and slammed it on Shen Qingyun, who heard the footsteps and ran to the window to look out:

"Do you want to be faced? Dare to pretend to be our Shen Dashuai's father, are you tired of it? Just a soft egg like you, will you have a penny to do with our handsome? Dare to talk nonsense again, see if the master doesn't seal your mouth? ”

Shen Qingyun screamed "oops" when he was pounded, and he fell to the ground with his face covered, the corners of his mouth were obviously pounded, and blood flowed down.

The handyman was still angry, and he smacked Shen Qingyun a few times with his head and face, and then walked away with a scolding, walked a few steps, and turned back to Shen Qingyun's place and snorted:

"Shen soft, you remember, dare to take advantage of Shen Dashuai, don't think about eating today and tomorrow, you won't starve to death, bastard!" 166 Reading Network
