The incense of the Shen family has never been vigorous, although there are many people in each generation, but there are also many who die early, and few can become talents in the end. Shen Jungao's generation is counted as the only one who and his eldest brother Shen Junli have inherited the Shen family's incense.

But God is jealous, Shen Junli, as the eldest son in the family, has no children under his knees and only a few daughters, so Shen Jungao's eldest son Shen Zunli naturally passed on to his brother and inherited his brother's title, so that only a few younger sons were left with Shen Jungao.

Among these children, Shen Zunyi is the oldest, quite smart, and usually quite loved by Shen Jungao, needless to say, Shen Jungao will inherit his mantle and title after a hundred years.

Li Xinchen and several people went in and out of the East Palace, and often saw this kid in the study, he was a hard-working and motivated boy, so he was also very impressed, but no one thought that he would see Shen Zunyi at this time.

Shen Zunyi was not stage frightened, but looked around with great interest, obviously the huge map and the situation of the enemy outlined on the map could attract his attention more. As for the dust on his face from the day and night journey, it did not seem to hinder his good interest.

Xiao Maha handed the secret report to Pei Zilie who was nearby, looked at Shen Zunyi and said in a deep voice: "Shen Gong's news is indeed terrible, but where did this news come from?" ”

Shen Zunyi lowered his voice and said, "General Hui, this is the news from Ruan Zhuo, the secretary of the Yangzhou Assassin History. He found that several henchmen who had been following the assassin in Yangzhou had disappeared in the past few days, so he hurriedly informed the East Palace of the matter. ”

"······ Ruan Zhuo" Xiao Maha chewed on the name gently, and he obviously didn't have much impression of this person, "What is the origin of this Ruan Zhuo, is it reliable?" ”

Shen Zunyi nodded solemnly: "Although I haven't seen this person's juniors, my father has dealt with him a lot, and has praised him many times for being loyal and upright, and he is a trustworthy person." And because this Ruan Zhuo is quite talented, he was forcibly recruited by Yangzhou Assassin Shi in the name of 'Mu Cai', and as a result, he has never changed in the position of this 'record room' since then, and Yangzhou Assassin Shi doesn't seem to be interested in him anymore, otherwise this person would not have turned to tell us the news. ”

"Forced conscription?" Xiao Maha frowned slightly, and then looked sideways at Li Xinchen and the others, "Do you think this person's news is credible?" ”

Li Xinchen said with a smile: "The henchmen of the Yangzhou Assassin Shi left, and nine times out of ten they arranged the situation to be unfavorable to the prince, and this was originally expected by us, so even if there is no news, we have to be more prepared, so that we know more about vigilance, which is equivalent to taking the lead in vain, so we would rather believe it than believe it." ”

"Shi Zhong is right, there are many people who dare to die under the command of Yangzhou Assassin Shi, and we learned this once when we returned to Jiankang Mansion from Zhongli last time," Pei Zilie said in a low voice, "Therefore, from Jiankang Mansion to Jingzhou, we must not relax our vigilance, especially Jingzhou." ”

The atmosphere in the entire council hall suddenly became a little colder, and the thoughts of everyone present became solemn. Chen Shuling's audacity is not the first time they have been taught, and they don't want to make any mistakes the next time they teach. After all, Chen Shuling's target was only Wu Mingche before, and this time, nine times out of ten, it was directly aimed at Chen Shubao!

Although Ruan Zhuo did not say it explicitly in the secret letter, everyone knew that these henchmen who left Chen Shuling's side were the ones who led those dead soldiers.

"They set off so many days in advance, and it is unlikely that they will do it on the road," Li Xinchen gently rubbed his chin, "From Jiankang Mansion to Jiangling, although the road is long, there are sailors and princes all the way to protect it, and it is by boat, there are really not many opportunities to start, not to mention that there is no way to blame for it in the middle of the road." ”

Xiao Maha and the others' expressions became more and more solemn, Chen Shuling's assassination of Chen Shubao was naturally not to die with Chen Shubao, so it must be carefully arranged, and it will be the same as the last time, so that people can't hold the handle at all. And if you do it on the road, it will not be so easy to blame anyone, and all the front-line departments have their own careful thoughts, and there is no guarantee that the Northern Zhou people will take risks, so it will be easier to deal with the scene at that time.

Even if everyone knows that it was Chen Shuling's hand, there is no tangible evidence, and it can only be tacitly assumed that Chen Shuling has nothing to do with this matter.

"Then we'll have to have a charter to deal with." Xiao Shilian frowned and said. He knows that the enemy is bright and dark now, but he can't be beaten passively like this, waiting for the killer to come to the door.

Li Xinchen said in a low voice: "In this way, after the prince comes, we will add another layer of personal guards, and no matter the prince's clothing, food, housing and transportation, we must add an additional inspection, and the prince's inspection and reward camp must ensure that nothing goes wrong!" ”

"That's a no-brainer." Pei Zilie said lightly, since they already know what hole cards the other party plays, they naturally can't let them succeed in such a small detail that they usually notice, "The key is that with the character of the prince, when you come to this Jingxiang land, I'm afraid ······ is indispensable."

Including Shen Zunyi, everyone had a worried look on their faces. Food, clothing, housing and transportation can be under everyone's control, but as we all know, Chen Shubao is a master who likes or even says that he is obsessed with traveling in the mountains and rivers and reciting poetry.

And the dead soldiers under Chen Shuling's command probably also noticed this, otherwise they would definitely not rush out - after all, no matter what, this Jiangling should be regarded as Xiao Maha's territory now.

Li Xinchen said softly: "Instead of letting the prince walk around, it is better to choose a few suitable places for the prince and take the prince there, so that we can scatter the scouts in advance and find out the surroundings." ”

"This ······" Xiao Maha frowned, no matter how you say this, there is a feeling of flattery, if you let Shen Jungao, Fu Wei and the others who stayed in the East Palace know that the Jiangling generals not only did not stop Chen Shubao, but connived at his behavior, I am afraid that they will inevitably be scolded.

"Can we stop Your Highness?" Li Xinchen asked rhetorically.

Xiao Maha clenched his fists, with a struggling look on his face, but he still nodded after all: "According to what Shizhong said, there are only a few of you who can be trusted by His Royal Highness, so you have worked hard these days, and the scouts have also come out of your command, this time the prince is coming, there must be no mistakes." ”

Li Xinchen and the others all solemnly bowed their hands, and the solemn look on their faces did not diminish at all.
