Chapter 156: Decision
Shen Yuan saw it clearly, and was suddenly frightened, rushed up and grabbed the medicine bag, and didn't look at the loss of it, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Are you crazy?" β
This porcelain bottle, this medicine, he is very familiar, it was back then, he was demoted out of Beijing to Yanjing, there were frequent bandits along the way, Wang was young and young, young and beautiful, in the northbound carriage, she took out the poison hidden at the bottom of the bottle to show him, and smiled calmly: "If I meet a thief, I will swallow it, and I will never embarrass the Shen family and you!" β
At that time, he once hugged his wife so distressed and guilty, and felt this sweet lingering with each other in that simple and difficult journey.
Taking out this medicine at this time, Shen Yuan remembered that back then, his whole heart softened, but he found that his wife in his arms trembled slightly, but she cried in a muffled voice.
The delicate body struggled in the crook of his arm, but finally hugged him, lay on his chest, and whispered: "Master, I have embarrassed you, I can't stand you......"
Shen Yuan's anger was completely dissipated at this time, he carefully put his wife on the couch, brought her a towel to wipe her tears, and Wen Yan asked, "What's going on?" β
Wang said the matter briefly, and added a faint sentence at the end, "I don't understand, where did Ruyao's niece get those rancid vegetable scraps?" β
Shen Yuan frowned deeply, paced in the room for a while, and sighed: "She is making such a fuss, she is simply stepping on the face of the entire Hou Mansion to the ground, and now it is an eventful season, isn't it messy enough?" β
Between words, he was very tired of Ruyao, but he was very partial to his wife.
The corners of Wang's lips were slightly hooked, but then they turned worriedβshe looked at the exhaustion and gloom in her husband's eyebrows, and asked carefully, "Is there anything wrong in the court lately?" β
Although she is a woman in the house, the ancestor of the Wang family has been the privy deputy minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, and she also has a lot of experience in court politics, but because of the infamy of Si Chen, she usually does not talk about this kind of topic with her husband easily.
Shen Yuan sighed and rubbed his eyebrows to relieve his fatigue. After saying a few words, he suddenly asked another person: "Has the evil obstacle returned?" β
Wang Shi was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, he was referring to Guangsheng, thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "I heard the people over there say that they packed some clothes and left five or six days ago, and I don't know if they are home now." β
After speaking, he was about to let people take a look, but Shen Yuan was shocked by this "five or six days ago", and said after a while: "If he comes back." Let him come to me at once. β
There was a second-class maid Almond who went to see it and said that the second young master had not seen anyone, Shen Yuan's face was even more gloomy and gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "He is in the flag guard, don't get involved in any trouble!" β
Thinking of this unruly and troublesome son, Shen Yuan's eyes and eyebrows were filled with a look of disgust and disgust, "If I knew this, I shouldn't have softened my heart and left this evil obstacle alive!" β
The tone of these words was extremely low, but the Wang family beside him heard it. Under the change of expression, I didn't know what to say for a while.

The sky gradually darkened, and the guards in front of the Jinyi Guard's yamen were heavily guarded, and more than a dozen dead wind lamps were swaying in the night. It looks like a miserable white head hanging in the air, exuding a mysterious and ominous atmosphere.
Standing on the second floor of the tower, Guangsheng stared down, only to feel that the night was like an endless abyss of thick ink, like a mist that annihilated everything. Only the armor of the guards remained, reflecting a cold iron light in the light.
And the entire Jinling City was also shrouded in this endless dark haze, those lights far and near. It was originally as bright as a bright jewel, but now it has become distant and elusive.
The surroundings became extremely silent, and in the endless sky, he seemed to hear his own heartbeat.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, such a familiar voice, but it still sounded calm and indifferent at this time-
"What are you waiting for?"
The person who came was dressed in a silver-blue treasure flower robe, his long hair was casually draped on the snow-white placket, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes showed his age and weather, but it showed his handsome and calm bearing.
"I'm waiting for providence, maybe there is a turning point in this matter."
Guangsheng said meaningfully, his eyes flashed, but even he couldn't believe what he said.
"In this world, providence is the Sacred Heart, and the Sacred Heart is never fathomable."
Ji Gang said indifferently, even if he was facing danger, there was still no panic or anxiety in his eyes.
"As early as when I was in charge of the Jinyi Guard for the Son of Heaven, I knew that the so-called Sacred Heart Trust is actually worthless, we are just sharp knives in his hands, used to produce blood and killing, in order to deter everyone in the world - once this knife is blunt, too much blood becomes filthy, the Holy One will abandon it, let everyone trample on it, destroy it to vent hatred, and then, he will look for the next convenient knife - you are the Son of Heaven, what kind of divine weapon, he is at his disposal."
Ji Gang squinted his eyes, he had already seen through his fate, and he didn't have the slightest wave in his heart, "The holy will forgiveness you are waiting for will not come after all, as mortals, we can only rely on our own strength to fight against the wall!" β
His voice was sonorous, containing decisive power, as if responding to his words, and a faint blue-purple electric light flashed in the sky, illuminating the eyebrows and eyes of the two.
The thunder roared, but there was no rain, and in the boundless dark clouds, the electric light shuttled and meandered, like a magical snake, which made people even more upset.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded like a storm on the long street, a large group of soldiers and horses galloped forward, the sound of the clash of iron armor was particularly harsh in the dark night, and the thorny horse boots clanged against the bridles, which was rapid and powerful like a small raindrop in people's hearts!
"Sure enough!"
Ji Gang showed a sneer, and Guangsheng also looked intently - only to see the front of the team, the light of the torches lit up the entire long street, between the fluttering flags, the snow-bright swords, guns and weapons like a forest flashed with cold light, countless figures riding war horses and armor came quickly, and the bright red cloak was thrilling under the light of fire and thunder!
The other yamen at both ends of the long street were deserted and silent, and even the soldiers who were on guard day and night were nowhere to be seen.
"The neighbors around are empty, and they are coming for our Jinyi Guard......"
Ji Gang was still smiling gently, but a light flashed in his black pupils, and he said to Guangsheng: "I know the saint's temperament very well - he will not let me be killed with a knife so easily, he will definitely capture the living and then execute Ling Chi, and play killing chickens and monkeys again." β
Before the words fell, only to hear a panicked scream from the galloping army, Guangsheng raised his eyes to see that the forward stopped at the intersection of the fork in the street, and dozens of people fell from their horses, covered in blood and did not know whether they were alive or dead!
It was as if the horse's hooves had been injured by thistles and other objects on the ground...... Guangsheng was thinking about it, and Ji Gang's indifferent and slightly tired voice sounded beside him, "I am also a little prepared, and I will not be restrained." (To be continued......)
