Chapter 7: Assassination

Shen Yuntang tried her best to suppress the pounding heart in her chest, she used both hands hard, and the other leg was about to step into the bamboo basket, when suddenly her calf was hugged by something, and the next moment a sweet Lolita voice sounded behind her, "Big brother, it's dirty inside, don't go in." ”

Shen Yuntang: "......"

From an angle that Shen Xiang couldn't see, Shen Yuntang's face was like a palette, which was wonderful.

She did everything she could, deceived her longevity, and actually lost a ten-year-old little Lori!

She's in the mood of a dog now.

Fang Cai's situation was chaotic, Shen Yuntang suddenly disappeared from Changshou's sight, Changshou and the guards were panicked, only Shen Yuntang was in his eyes, where would he take care of Shen Xiang, a young lady.

Shen Xiang has been paying attention to the movement outside, the eldest brother bought her a sugar gourd, she was looking forward to it, and suddenly found that Changshou looked flustered, and she was naturally not at ease. Shen Xiangren was a big ghost, jumped out of the carriage, and easily squeezed through the cracks in the crowd.

The group of "mud legs" who came out of nowhere deliberately stopped Changshou and others, but no one would specifically guard against a child.

Shen Xiang easily walked through the crowd and saw Shen Yuntang who wanted to hide.

In Shen Xiang's heart, her brother is as bright as the sky and the moon, how can she not be contaminated with the peasants' muddy frames, she will hug Shen Yuntang's thigh when she sees this, and kindly remind her.

Shen Yuntang was about to cry.

Being shouted by the little girl like this had already attracted the attention of the longevity over there, and she had lost her best chance to escape......

Shen Yuntang turned his head stiffly, looking at Sister Xiang who was still holding her leg with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Oh, this girl is really her ancestor!

Sister Xiang didn't understand Shen Yuntang's eyes, she tilted her head and asked suspiciously, her big black eyes were confused and dazed.

Sister Xiang is still relatively sensitive, she can feel that her brother is not very happy, but she doesn't know why.

"Big brother, why are you in this dirty basket?"

Shen Yuntang gently pulled Sister Xiang'er's little hand, took her leg out of the basket, and explained with a stiff face: "No...... Nothing, just want to see if there are any bigger sugar gourds in this bamboo basket. ”

Sister Xiang didn't doubt what her brother said.

Even heard Shen Yuntang talk about sugar gourds, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Did the big brother see the bigger one?"

Shen Yuntang shook his head with a tense face.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Sister Xiang'er's eyes, and she immediately smiled sweetly, she pulled Shen Yuntang's sleeve, "It's okay, big brother, Sister Xiang just needs a string of ordinary ones." ”

Shen Yuntang rubbed his eyebrows "painfully", pulled his sister Shen Xiang with one hand, and walked back to the peasant man with the package in the other.

The man who sells sugar gourds is a sincere person, just now Shen Yuntang gave the copper plate but didn't take anything, the next time he saw her, he didn't need Shen Yuntang to pay any more money, he chose a large string and handed it to Shen Yuntang.

"Childe, you just walked too fast, and the villain hasn't even had time to give you the sugar gourd!"

Shen Yuntang nodded, and handed the sugar gourd to the villain next to him.

Xu is group of people saw Shen Yuntang come out by himself, and understood that the best opportunity had been lost, so they cleaned up with each other, and the people quickly dispersed and retreated.

Changshou and the guards also quickly rushed over.

The guards tightly surrounded Shen Yuntang in the center and looked around vigilantly.

Changshou wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, it was late autumn, and after just such a while, he was covered in cold sweat, and he was all frightened.

"Lord Shizi, you really scared the little one."

Shen Yuntang was slightly stunned, pretending to look at Changshou in confusion, "I just bought a string of sugar gourds, can I still lose it?" ”

Changshou touched his head, and hurriedly invited the master back to the carriage, "Let the little one do this kind of trivial thing next time." ”

Shen Yuntang didn't nod or shake his head, and after carrying Shen Xiang into the carriage, he was helped by Changshou and got into the carriage.

Changshou pursed his lips, but he still didn't say the strange place of the group of mud legs just now.

He comforted himself that he had thought too much, maybe the group of people just now was really a peasant man who was rushing to the market.

However, after this false alarm, Changshou became more vigilant.

Shen Yuntang was annoyed, but there was no way, he lost a chance, so he could only act at the opportunity to find the next time.

What Shen Yuntang didn't know was that the people who were staring at Shen Yuntang not far away were far more annoyed than her.

If Shen Yuntang really escaped the protection of Changshou and the others just now, then it wouldn't take long for them to succeed.

After all, everyone knows that the Dumiao Shizi of the Yongxing Marquis Mansion is just a nerd, but he doesn't know any martial arts.

"Commander, what should I do?" A sturdy man dressed as a farmer whispered to a street vendor on the side of the road.

The vendor's eyes were sharp, and he squinted at Shen Yuntang's carriage.

"Keep up, notify Team A, and do it on the mountain road."

"Yes!"

There are very few people who go to the royal temple Guiyuan Temple, and even if it is fifteen today, most of the time there will not be many people on the way up the mountain.

Although the temple was guarded by small groups of officers and soldiers, those officers and soldiers were in the teahouse at the foot of the mountain and the temple on the mountain, and there was no one to guard the road, so this road became a good place to get started.

A middle-aged man dressed as a peasant quickly disappeared into the crowd.

The mountain road of Shangguiyuan Temple is not steep, but even so, the carriage can not pass, must be on foot, some dignitaries are not in good health, will specially prepare a simple soft sedan chair all the way for the sedan chair driver to carry up.

Shen Yuntang's health is not very good, so longevity has made people prepare bamboo to wait in the teahouse at the foot of the mountain early in the morning.

When they arrived at the teahouse at the foot of the mountain, Shen Yuntang took Sister Xiang out of the carriage and walked towards the teahouse.

The teahouse at the foot of the mountain is under the management of Guiyuan Temple, and the little guy on duty in the teahouse is the little novice of Guiyuan Temple.

Shen Yuntang walked to the door of the teahouse, but saw that the teahouse was not empty today, but already had a team of people.

When I went in, I saw that sitting on the throne was an old woman with gray hair, wearing five phoenix tails on her head, and indigo blue with a forehead inlaid with the finest opal, and she was rich and noble, surrounded by four or five delicately dressed maids.

There are also guards with knives guarding him.

When Shen Yuntang saw this old woman, a title popped up in his mind - Mrs. Zhenguo!

Mrs. Zhenguo is the old lady of the Jiang family, a family of military generals.

Jiang Rong, the general of Zhenguo, held heavy troops in his hands, guarding the south of Dayan, when Dayan was invaded by the Yi people and captured ten cities in a row, he led 30,000 elites to destroy 100,000 enemy troops, and brought back the disadvantage of Dayan to a city, and then led the army to fight against the Yi people, and finally drove the Yi people out of Lian Qi Mountain, and was assassinated by the Yi people.

Five years later, the Yi people made a comeback, and Mrs. Zhenguo took over the handsome seal in her husband's hand, personally led the army south, successfully repelled the strong enemy, and became the first brave female general in Dayan! Later, she was named Mrs. Zhenguo by Emperor Wen!

Mrs. Zhenguo's three sons were all killed in the battle with the Yi people, and only Da Lang left a drop of blood, but he was a granddaughter and was not in good health.

Emperor Wen took pity on the Jiang family and asked Mrs. Zhenguo to select a boy from the side branch to succeed him, and inherit the title of general of Zhenguo.

After Mrs. Zhenguo ended the war in the south, she handed over the handsome seal and returned to Hubei with her granddaughter and step-son to retire.

Not only did she not attract jealousy, but she was valued by the emperor.

After so many years, Mrs. Zhenguo has not only not been forgotten by the royal family, but has become more and more respected by the royal family.

The emperors have been generations, but the status of Mrs. Zhenguo in the minds of generations of emperors has not changed much.

Now the Great Yan Dynasty is not just such a prestigious lady of the country.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the regent Qin Yin is present, he will be polite to Mrs. Zhenguo.

The original Shen Yuntang had a relationship with Mrs. Zhenguo.

When Shen Yuntang was young, he followed the old marquis to Hubei to congratulate Mrs. Zhenguo on her birthday.

The old Yongxing Marquis and the general Zhenguo grew up together, and the suicide note left by the general Zhenguo before going to the battlefield mentioned that if he died in battle, let the old Yongxing Marquis take care of his wife and children for him.

It is precisely because of this that for so many years, even if the Yongxing Hou Mansion is on the cusp, Mrs. Zhenguo still keeps in touch with the old Yongxing Hou.

The two can be described as a good family.

When Shen Yuntang and the others came in the door, Mrs. Zhenguo also looked this way.

At this glance, Mrs. Zhenguo was stunned, Shen Yuntang's appearance was two or three points like when the old Yongxing Hou was young, especially the thin lips.

Before Shen Yuntang walked over to say hello, Mrs. Zhenguo had already spoken, "But the children of the Yongxing Marquis Mansion?" ”

The old man had already recognized Shen Yuntang one step ahead of her, and she was no longer rude as a junior, so she hurriedly walked towards Mrs. Zhenguo.

Respectfully gave Mrs. Zhenguo a junior salute.

"Mrs. Guo has a really good memory, and it is Shen Yuntang, the son of the Marquis of Yongxing."

Mrs. Zhenguo's eyes were reminiscing, she looked Shen Yuntang up and down and said with a smile: "Okay, good, when you see your child, you are only so tall, I didn't expect to grow into a man in a blink of an eye." ”

Indeed, when he saw Mrs. Zhenguo, he was still a five or six-year-old little bean ding, and now Shen Yuntang is seventeen years old.

If it were the original Shen Yuntang, it might be unnatural, but now Shen Yuntang is good at communicating.

There was a warm smile on the corner of her mouth, she was more like the old Yongxing Hou when she was young, which immediately made Mrs. Zhenguo full of good feelings.

"The younger generation saw Mrs. Guo when they were young, but I didn't expect that after so many years, Mrs. Guo has not changed much. The juniors still recognized it at a glance. ”

Mrs. Zhenguo was amused by Shen Yuntang's words, more than ten years have passed, her temples are gray, wrinkles are everywhere, and her body is not as good as before. Where can I really recognize it, Shen Yuntang saw her identity because he saw the jewelry on her head.

Although she understood that Shen Yuntang was probably deliberately making her happy, Mrs. Zhenguo was also very happy.

How could you not be happy when you see the heir of an old friend, and you are a sweet-mouthed person.

Mrs. Zhenguo glared at Shen Yuntang and called her to come and sit down beside her.

"I didn't expect that the grandson of the old marquis has not only grown up, but this mouth has also become sweeter, and that old guy in Ji'an has been coaxed by you to be happy all day long?"

As she spoke, Mrs. Zhenguo noticed that Shen Yuntang was still holding a little girl in her hand.

Shen Yuntang saw Mrs. Zhenguo's gaze falling on Sister Xiang'er, and explained: "Mrs. Guo, this is the sister in the lower house, and her name is Shen Xiang. ”

Mrs. Zhenguo likes children, so she immediately asked her grandmother to take a purse to give to Sister Xiang as a meeting gift.

After a few words of greeting, Mrs. Zhenguo asked, "Why did Ah Tang come to Guiyuan Temple today?" ”
