Chapter 168: Embarrassment

As the old saying goes, treat others the way they do.

Nie Biao dared to sneak attack Shen Ning, and Shen Ning naturally let him taste the taste of being sneak attacked! As Nie Biao led the troops closer, everyone in the dense forest lowered their breathing sounds, and they didn't even dare to fart.

Seeing that the other party entered the encirclement, Shen Ning held a three-stone strong bow, built a draw, and the bow turned into a full moon and aimed at Nie Biao, who was the leader.

Fortunately, the bright moon hangs high today, sprinkled with white moonlight, which provides convenience for the sneak attack.

Syllable...

Shen Ning immediately let go of the taut bowstring, only to see the arrow feather turn into an afterimage, directly through the trees, and shoot Nie Biao.

Nie Biao screamed miserably and fell off his horse.

This seemed to be a signal, and in an instant, bows and arrows were fired in the woods on both sides, and countless Qingzhou soldiers were hit by arrows one after another, and the tragic sound continued.

After releasing the arrows, the soldiers and horses in the dense forest rushed out, directly blocked the two ends, completely surrounded the Qingzhou soldiers, and then began to annihilate them one by one.

The morale of the Qingzhou soldiers has plummeted, but now they have been attacked again, and they are still outnumbered, and the result can be imagined!

In the end, many soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered, so that there was no possibility of total annihilation.

The ambush was fought quickly and ended in less than two quarters of an hour.

When Shen Ning found Nie Biao, he was already dead of anger, and the arrow hit him in the neck, even if he had high combat effectiveness, he would have to die. It is a pity that this martial artist at the peak of the great martial artist was killed by a secret arrow.

Shen Ning ordered his head to be chopped off, put it in a box, and then pressed the surrendered Qingzhou soldiers back to the barracks.

Sima Haiyun had already returned to the camp, and at this time he was completely sleepy, waiting for Shen Ning's triumph.

Hearing that Shen Ning was back, he hurriedly greeted him out, and when he met, he asked, "What is the result?" ”

"Returning to the world, defeating the enemy army, this is the head of the other party's general Nie Biao!" Shen Ning replied.

Sima Haiyun looked at the box and hurriedly ordered someone to open it, in the box, Nie Biao's eyes widened, looking dead, Sima Haiyun did not dislike blood, and laughed excitedly.

"Sima Jian's five fierce generals, two of them are lost in your hands, Shen Ning, you are really Sima Jian's nemesis, my deputy general in Xuzhou! This time, thanks to your caution and allowing the scouts to probe on a large scale, only then did you discover the other party's tricks, and if you were someone else, you would definitely be careless, and it might be me who died tonight! Sima Haiyun said excitedly.

Shen Ning said calmly: "Your Highness, this is what you should do!" ”

Sima Haiyun nodded, and then said, "Didn't you catch a lot of Qingzhou soldiers?" Pick a few with sharp legs and feet, and let them take this head back to Qingzhou, so that Sima Jian will be happy. ”

can make Sima Jian angry, Sima Haiyun is happy when he thinks about it.

Shen Ning didn't stop him, and did what he wanted.

Before you know it, the dawn has come.

After cleaning up the battlefield and treating the wounded, the building boat had arrived, and everyone crossed the river by boat and finally entered the boundary of Xuzhou.

The next thing is to hurry, there are no accidents on the way, and it is getting closer and closer to Pengcheng.

......

Southeast Palace.

Sima Yue was lying on the bed and had just drunk the medicine.

His face was even more haggard, and he had begun to be bedridden.

Jiang Xiao was standing next to the bed, and he said with a guilty face: "Lord Wang, you are incompetent and incompetent, and you have not been able to find the Taoist Jindan from Longhu Mountain. ”

Sima Yue sighed, looking lost.

He has a similar lifespan, and his only hope is that he can change his life with Taoist Jin Dan, but now it seems that there is no chance.

"Your Majesty sent the Earth Tiger Guard to Longhu Mountain to look for the Taoist Jindan, but the search was fruitless, it seems that the Taoist Jindan is long gone, it is a legend." Sima Yue didn't blame Jiang Xiao, but said: "What's more, even if you get the Taoist Golden Pill, you can really be cured?" ”

Jiang Xiao stood respectfully and did not answer.

"Where has the prince been?" Sima Yue came back to his senses and asked.

Jiang Xiao replied: "It's already past Xiapi, and I will return to Pengcheng in three days." ”

Speaking of Sima Haiyun, Sima Yue smiled: "This kid is used to messing around, this time he went to the imperial capital to open his eyes, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and only then did he know that there were people outside the world, and only then did he understand his future situation." It's just that he didn't expect that the vicious Sima Jian would sneak attack halfway and prepare to intercept him. Fortunately, Shen Ning was here, not only did he not let the other party's conspiracy succeed, but also killed Nie Biao, and broke one of Sima Yin's arms, kill well, kill well! ”

"What the prince said is that Shen Ning is worthy of being Li Yuanxiao's nephew, he is as brave and resourceful as him, and in the future, with Li Yuanxiao, under the leadership of the two of them, Xuzhou soldiers and horses will be able to win a hundred battles and deter foreign enemies." Jiang Xiao praised.

And Jiang Xiao's words seem to be compliments, but in fact they have ulterior motives. Praise Shen Ning is praise Shen Ning, why mention Li Yuanxiao, so the extra meaning is that in the future, the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou will be in their hands.

So how can Sima Yue not think too much?

Jiang Xiao has followed the king of the southeast for so long, and he has long figured out his temper, so a few words can provoke the suspicion of the king of the southeast.

In addition, the news from the imperial capital said that the emperor valued Shen Ning quite a lot, and not only promoted to the third rank, but also recruited him into the palace to meet him in person.

Sima Yue didn't say anything, and Jiang Xiao's intention had been realized, so naturally he didn't say much.

Three days later, Shen Ning and Sima Haiyun finally returned to Pengcheng.

Sent Sima Haiyun back to the palace, and Shen Ning also met Sima Yue.

After Sima Yue praised Shen Ning, he rewarded him heavily, rewarding a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, showing sufficient trust and attention.

Afterwards, Shen Ning left the palace and returned home.

Li Ru was waiting in front of the door, and when he saw Shen Ning coming back, he hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Childe has been running all the way, and he has worked hard." ”

Shen Ning smiled: "Let Mr. worry." ”

The two entered the house, and they told each other what had happened during this time.

Basically, Shen Ning is talking, and Li Ru is listening. Because during the time when Shen Ning left Pengcheng, there were no major events in Pengcheng, but many important things happened in Shen Ning in the imperial capital.

This conversation lasted until late at night.

The next day, Shen Ning brought the gifts he brought back from the imperial capital and went to visit the Li Mansion.

Yu Meiqian said happily: "It's okay for people to come, and they bring so many gifts, it's too expensive." ”

"Here are some of my nephew's thoughts!" Shen Ning said with a smile.

Yu Meiqian asked about Yu Xuefei's situation again, and when she learned that someone from the Yu family had picked her up, Yu Meiqian was relieved, and then got up and left by herself, leaving the space to Li Qingkong and Shen Ning.

There are only two people left in the hall, and Shen Ning and Li Qingkong naturally understand Yu Meiqian's thoughts, but there seems to be a gap between the two, and they have never been able to see each other frankly.

In addition, Li Qingkong's temperament is relatively cold and he can't take the initiative to speak, and Shen Ning has already passed the pure age of teasing girls with his mouth, so he sat and tasted tea, stayed together and prepared to go back.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that this time Li Qingkong took the initiative to speak: "I heard that you saved Princess Changle and were able to rise to the third rank in a row?" ”

Shen Ning nodded, this is not a secret.

"You be careful of Jiang Xiao in the Southeast Palace, not long ago, Zhang Xiu'er and I went to Dongfeng Restaurant for dinner, and I accidentally saw him enter Dongfeng Restaurant, and the person who met him seemed to be Sima Haiying." Li Qingkong introduced.

Shen Ning smiled and nodded, not surprised.

Although he has been away for a while, Li Ru has been staying in Pengcheng, and Shen Ning's future plan is to use the power of the Southeast Royal Mansion to become stronger, so Li Ru must ensure that this process goes smoothly, and Jiang Xiao and Sima Haiying are the roadblockers.

So Li Ru kept staring at the two of them, and when chatting with Li Ru last night, Li Ru introduced Jiang Xiao and Sima Haiying that they should be embarrassed.

Jiang Xiao originally looked down on Sima Haiying, a concubine, it was difficult to get on the throne. But since Wang Xiao and Wei Chizhan attacked the southeast palace and Sima Haiyun took away the princess and Sima Yue, Jiang Xiao realized that Sima Haiyun did not pay attention to him.

Coupled with the fact that Shen Ning's position in Sima Haiyun is becoming more and more important, Jiang Xiao completely understands that once Sima Haiyun inherits the throne, he will be kicked out immediately.

In that case, why not turn to someone else?

Although Sima Haiying has a deep city and a gloomy personality, Jiang Xiao still has the confidence to control him.

In the face of Jiang Xiao's overtures, Sima Haiying was suffering from a long drought and nectar, and immediately opened his arms, eager to recognize Jiang Xiao as his father-in-law and call him his godfather.

Li Ru had long guessed that the two would be embarrassed, and the targets to deal with after hooking up were Shen Ning and Li Yuanxiao, especially Shen Ning, who was the primary enemy. Because Jiang Xiao understands that once Shen Ning is gone, what else does Sima Haiyun have besides a body of flesh?

"Thanks for the reminder, I'll be careful." Shen Ning responded with a smile.

In the imperial capital, Shen Ning may have to keep a low profile, but now that he has returned to Pengcheng, he can be regarded as returning to his home field. It was not easy for Jiang Xiao and Sima Haiying to deal with Shen Ning.

In addition, Shen Ning's next target is not the two of them?

Li Qingkong nodded and replied: "It seems that you already know it in your heart, and that's right, my third uncle is extremely smart and resourceful, how could he not remind you?" Cousin, do you remember when you were eight years old, you went to visit relatives in Xiapi and gave me a gift? ”

Shen Ning was stunned, what the hell gifts, his cousin is fake, how could he know the gifts.

It seems that Li Qingkong has always suspected Shen Ning's identity, so he specially tried it, and this woman is also cunning, the question she asked is not one, but a serial scheme.

When he was eight years old, did the young master of the Shen family go to Xiapi to visit his relatives? It's a trap.

"Visiting family at the age of eight? I don't have any impression at all. Shen Ning answered this question, this question can be pretended to be confused, because it takes a long time, and Shen Ning can't remember that it is possible. But if you forget to give a gift, it is a side affirmation of the family visit.

Li Qingkong looked at Shen Ning, Qingli didn't have too much expression on his face, and responded: "If you can't remember, forget it." ”

"I have carefully selected some of the gifts I have just brought for you, I hope you will like them. It's getting late, it's time for me to go to the barracks. Shen Ning got up and said goodbye, to avoid another tricky question from Li Qingkong, it seems that he will come to the Li Mansion less in the future.

Li Qingkong watched Shen Ning leave, and then frowned.

"He's too cunning to try it out. Ay... Are you willing to tell your true identity to your aunt and avoid me like a snake and scorpion, because you are afraid that I will frame you? ”

At this moment, her clear face showed annoyance.
