There are still two months to go before the emperor's birthday, and the princes who are far away have already set off.

The imperial capital Jiankang is not far from Xuzhou, so Shen Ning and Sima Haiyun are not in a hurry to go, and they will set off again in ten days.

Because it was Shen Ning who led the soldiers and horses to escort them, it was natural to arrange Zhang Liao and Lu Xun, and during this time, the two were stepping up their time to train the soldiers and horses.

Hearing that Shen Ning was going to the imperial capital, Yu Xuefei decided to go with her, she was just about to go home, and followed the soldiers and horses to the imperial capital, which was close to his home.

This also gave Shen Ning a wake-up call, he could go to the Yu family to visit, and immediately nodded and agreed.

Ten days passed in a flash, and it was time to go.

Zhang Liao and Lu Xun each led a thousand soldiers and horses to accompany them, since they represent the southeast palace, naturally the armor and war horses are the best, and going out represents the face of the southeast king, and they must be equipped with the best equipment, and they look like brave men at a glance.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Shen Ning made a big deal and formed an elite army.

And as the leader of this escort, Shen Ning's dress is also very good.

Dressed in a white robe and armor rewarded by Sima Yue, sitting on a white horse without miscellaneous hair, holding a tiger spear, coupled with that handsome and extraordinary appearance, walking on the street, instantly attracted the attention of countless girls.

Who doesn't know Shen Ning's name now!

And there is no marriage contract in the body, the matchmaker who proposes marriage is about to burst her head, and she can't wait to send a good girl to the Shen family, if Shen Ning doesn't like tender, any type can be.

Shen Ning didn't dare to go home recently, he stayed in the barracks, looking at all the old men, safe.

Shen Ning went to the Li Mansion first and picked up Yu Xuefei.

Seeing Shen Ning's dress, Yu Xuefei's face turned crimson at a glance, her eyes drifted away, she didn't know what she thought, and she replied shyly like a girl with a spring.

Even Li Qingkong, who is usually beautiful, raised his eyebrows and had to praise him.

"Look at my nephew, he is so handsome, if my mother is twenty years younger, there will be nothing to do with your father. is so wishful, and he is not happy to die, is it a clear sky? Yu Meiqian's eyes became lively, and she took Li Qingkong's hand and asked.

What is his mother's mind, how can Li Qingkong not know?

Since ancient times, cousins and cousins have deep feelings, bamboo horses surround green plums, and candles are spent in the cave room, and the water comes naturally.

Li Qingkong didn't pay attention, but said to Shen Ning, who got off the horse, and said, "Shen Ning, this trip will trouble you." ”

"Call cousin!" Shen Ning glared.

Li Qingkong was suddenly stunned, hesitated, and shouted, "Cousin." ”

Shen Ning nodded and said with a smile: "Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely send Xue Fei back to Yangzhou safely." ”

"I want to call Auntie!" Li Yunchang on the side immediately reminded.

Syllable...

Yu Xuefei gave Li Yunchang a slap and scolded: "What is it called, auntie, am I that old?" ”

Li Yunchang rubbed the back of his head, feeling that life was full of crises, so it was better to stay at home honestly.

Shen Ning saluted Yu Meiqian again, and Yu Meiqian pulled Shen Ning and told him to pay attention to safety, go less to the land of fireworks, and get acquainted with strange women, which made Shen Ning embarrassed.

Li Qingkong was even more ashamed, and hurriedly pushed his mother into the house, out of sight and out of mind.

Then, Yu Xuefei and Li Qingkong said goodbye.

After waiting for a while before coming to the southeast palace, Sima Haiyun was sent out of the mansion by everyone.

It was another exhortation before parting, and finally under the eyes of the princess and others, Shen Ning led people to escort the carriage out of the city, and after meeting Zhang Liao and Lu Xun who were waiting outside the city, the group officially set off.

A hundred years ago, foreign enemies in the north continued to invade the Great Jin Dynasty, and the emperor at that time, Emperor Wen of Jin was mediocre, greedy for life and afraid of death, worried about what if foreign enemies entered Sizhou? So, he thought of a good countermeasure, that is, to move the capital!

He tried his best to disagree and chose Jiankang as the new imperial capital.

With the Yangtze River as a barrier, even if the foreign enemy attacks the other bank, is it difficult to swim over on horseback? So you don't have to worry about foreign enemies.

It's a pity that the new imperial capital was built for more than 20 years, and the Jin Wen Emperor died before moving the capital.

His son was more afraid of death than him, so he ascended the throne directly in Jiankang.

Since the beginning of the relocation of the capital, the Great Jin Dynasty has gone from prosperity to decline, and now it is a princely separation, and it is still loyal to the Great Jin Dynasty on the surface, but everyone knows that the chaos in the world is imminent.

And why does the current emperor always want to take Xuzhou for himself? Because Linhuai County in Xuzhou goes south, across the river, it is Jiankang.

It can be said that Xuzhou is the gateway to the imperial capital, and such an important position cannot fall into his own hands, will the emperor feel at ease?

He was afraid that one day Sima Yue would directly wave his troops across the river and take away his world.

In fact, Sima Yue really had this idea.

A few years ago, there were 100,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, of which 40,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Linhuai County, which scared the emperor into sleeping. Later, Sima Yue became ill, his health deteriorated, and he lost his ambition, so he withdrew the soldiers and horses from Linhuai County and reduced the number of soldiers and horses.

As for how Sima Yue got sick, whether there is Taoism or not, God knows, Shen Ning is not clear.

......

Shen Ning and his entourage set off in the southeast direction, passed through Xiapi County, entered Linhuai County, crossed the river, and entered the land of Gyeonggi.

There is plenty of time, so there is no hurry or impatience, while enjoying the beautiful scenery while hurrying, the relationship between Shen Ning and Yu Xuefei is getting more and more harmonious, and there are no accidents on the road, two thousand brave soldiers and horses escort, and a group of great grandmasters have to be hated, as for bandits and bandits, they are even more shrunken and honest.

Half a month later.

The soldiers and horses came to the river, and as long as they crossed the river, they entered the territory of the imperial capital.

"Shizi, I have ordered Zhang Liao and Lu Xun to requisition ships, and they can cross the river tomorrow." Shen Ning reported the situation to Sima Haiyun.

Sima Haiyun nodded and sighed: "After crossing the river, it is someone else's territory, Shen Ning, my heart is starting to panic." ”

Shen Ning said with a smile: "Don't worry about the prince, after entering the imperial capital, let's do things in a high-profile manner, be low-key, and follow the instructions of the prince, we will be fine." And the prince has senior Wu by his side to protect him, who can hurt His Royal Highness? ”

I saw a middle-aged man standing next to Sima Haiyun.

This is the master of the grandmaster arranged by Sima Yue, who protects Sima Haiyun closely, plus other great martial artists and brave warriors, which gives Sima Haiyun some self-confidence.

Sima Haiyun's eyes rolled, as if he had a ghost idea, he patted his stomach, looked at the handsome Shen Ning again, and suddenly pulled Shen Ning to the side, and said in a low voice: "Brother, let's discuss something." ”

"Nope." Shen Ning didn't get used to him and immediately refused.

Along the way, Shen Ning slowly began to reject Sima Haiyun, and he couldn't let him think that he was a subordinate and could arrange it at will. Sima Haiyun can't get used to this kind of person all the time, otherwise he will take it for granted.

Hearing Shen Ning's refusal, Sima Haiyun was used to it, and said kindly: "Good brother, I haven't said anything yet, why did you refuse." ”

"As soon as the prince called me brother, I knew it wasn't a good thing." Shen Ning quipped: "The prince of the world should say, what is the matter?" ”

Sima Haiyun stretched out his hands and said, "Look at my flesh, I feel that I have lowered the prestige of the Southeast Palace." So I thought, when you enter the imperial city, you take off your armor, change into civilian clothes, and ride forward on horseback in front, surrounded by soldiers with tigers and bears' waists, you look so handsome, others look at it, and immediately praise: Hey, the prince of the southeast is so handsome! Lost and lost. And I followed in a carriage. ”

"No! This is a crime of deception! Shen Ning flatly refused.

Sima Haiyun hurriedly said: "You have never claimed to be the prince of the southeast to the outside world, how can you be considered a deception?" How can the people of the imperial city guess, that is their business, besides, when the time comes, the court will come to entertain people, and I will naturally come forward in person. You're just ahead of the curve, and it's their business to guess wrong. ”

"Your Royal Highness, is it necessary?" Shen Ning gave him a helpless expression.

Sima Haiyun said with a smile: "What you said, do things in a high-profile manner and be a low-key person." Who called me so fat, although I am more handsome than you, but it is too late. ”

Shen Ning: ??

I've never seen such a brazen person, shameless!

"Good brother, help." Sima Haiyun pleaded.

Shen Ning asked again: "Shizi, there's no point in doing this, it's all skin!" ”

"You don't understand! Imagine that the girls in the imperial city are obsessed with the handsome appearance of the prince of the southeast and can't extricate themselves, haha, I, Sima Haiyun, will shine in the world, this reputation is more enjoyable. Sima Haiyun's eyebrows fluttered.

Shen Ning frowned.

In other words, if you fiddle with this place and be coquettish, will it increase the score?

Last time, the wheel descended on the meteorite, which made Shen Ning feel a pity, and now there is still a score of 85100, and he will soon be able to start a new wheel.

This time he went to the imperial capital, but Li Ru did not follow. Originally, Li Ru was going to come, but before leaving, he suddenly contracted a cold and had a high fever, and Shen Ning was afraid that he would run around on the road, so he didn't let him follow. After all, there are still Meng Xingchen and them in the imperial capital.

Li Ru was not at ease, but thinking that Meng Xingchen's strategy was not inferior to him, he nodded in agreement.

However, Meng Xingchen is also a traitor and is being wanted, although he has not returned to the imperial capital for some years, Shen Ning does not dare to let him show his face. It would be great if the wheel could pick a new strategist this time!

Seeing Shen Ning's hesitation, Sima Haiyun hurriedly said: "Old brother, if you are willing to do it this time, I will promise you a request, you can let me do anything, if I regret it, Sima Haiying will not die well!" ”

swore by his brother that Sima Haiyun was indeed Sima Haiyun.

"Alright then, but the subordinates are limited to leading the way on horseback in front." Shen Ning said.

Sima Haiyun was overjoyed and nodded again and again.

After Shen Ning left the military tent, he came to the riverside wharf.

Looking at the vast Yangtze River, rippling blue waves, Shen Ning's eyes looked at the vast river, as if he saw the majestic imperial city.

It is the place where he was born, and it is the place where his family died tragically.

At first, I fled in embarrassment, but this time I came back cautiously and didn't dare to make a noise.

One day, Shen Ning will hold the banner of the Shen family crest, walk into this imperial city in a dignified manner, and tell everyone that the Shen family has returned.
