In the afternoon, smoke and dust billowed on the official road of Xilin City, and a team of military horses escorted a carriage through the streets of Xilin City and stopped in front of the prefect's yamen

Sima and all the officials knelt down in unison and shouted: "Weichen Xilin City Sima, see Lord Qincha"

The car door opened, and a person got out of the car and asked, "Where is Master Shu?" Why didn't you come? ”

Sima felt that something was wrong when he heard the voice, raised his head and glanced at it, and was stunned on the spot! Isn't this Shen Qiu, Shen Zhitang's housekeeper?

Li Zhilian sat in front of the table and pondered, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and after a while, the door slammed, and someone shouted: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Lord Shen has arrived, and our son-in-law is already waiting in the main hall."

Li Zhi stood up pitifully: "Got it!" ”

Li Zhilian and Shu Yihuan came to the main hall of the mansion, and they were stunned when they came, and walked forward quickly: "Brother Shen Qiu! How are you? What about teachers? ”

Everyone looked at Shen Qiu in confusion, waiting for his answer

Shen Qiu glanced at Shu Yihuan and did not speak

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, Li Zhilian turned his head sideways to Shu Yihuan and said, "General Shu, you go to the Blue Flag Barracks first to help Fu Yuheng settle the army, and the others should also retreat first!" ”

Everyone said in unison: "Yes~" and retreated

Shen Qiu looked around, and after everyone faded, his body that was originally standing straight instantly collapsed, hooking his back: "Miss Zhilian, I'll drink saliva first!" ”

Li Zhilian said "um", handed him the teacup on the table, and asked, "What about the teacher?" ”

Shen Qiu "Gurgling~" After drinking a cup of tea, he said softly: "My lord, he didn't come"

Li Zhipian was taken aback: "What? ”

Shen Qiu hurriedly smiled and said: "The lord is still leaving Ningcheng, he said that he was afraid that there would be fraud in this trip, so he asked me to pretend to be him and get into the carriage, and I couldn't get out of the carriage any matter along the way, but I was suffocated......"

Li Zhilian only felt that her mind was in chaos now, and when Shen Zhitang asked her to set off first, she felt that this trip was boring

But she didn't understand why Shen Zhitang sent the army and her to Xilin City, but she stayed in Lining City, could it be that something big was going to happen in Lining City?

Shen Qiu looked down at her and continued, "My lord said that there are 100,000 troops, and I will only obey you in the future. ”

What does it mean that a hundred thousand troops are at my disposal alone? Li Zhi raised his head sharply and looked at Shen Qiu for a long time before turning his head sideways

Impossible! Teachers have always hated war the most, how could it be......

Li Zhilian only felt a thin layer of cold sweat on his back: "What else did the teacher explain?" ”

Shen Qiu shook his head: "No, but on the way here, I heard that the Western Zhou Dynasty wants to return the whole country to our country, and the condition is that Li Jianqing will be the emperor of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom."

Li Zhilian frowned: "Where did you hear about it?" ”

Shen Qiu replied: "On the official road leading from Hengzhou to Xilin City, the people are talking there, Fu Yuheng was in a hurry, and ordered the army to speed up, and the army arrived in Xilin City in the afternoon."

Li Zhilian turned around and pondered for a while, then turned around and said, "Let's go~ Go to the Blue Flag Barracks"

Shen Qiu stopped her and said, "General Fu will come over in a while, he is more anxious than you"

Li Zhilian paced in the main hall, her breathing was slowly not smooth, she tried to calm herself down, but to no avail

As soon as she thought that Shen Zhitang intended to let her rebel, she wanted to return to Shen Zhitang immediately and ask him what he meant in person?

Shen Qiu stared at her and said puzzledly, "Miss Zhilian, are you okay?" ”

She raised her head, glared at Shen Qiu in front of her, and asked word by word, "What about Senior Brother?" But there's news of him."

Shen Qiu shook his head: "No~ Seeing that Young Master Qing has not had any news since he went to Lingyun City. ”

It is impossible for Shen Zhitang to hand over the 100,000 army to her for no reason, there must be something missing in the middle?

Shen Zhitang is loyal to their Li family, Li Chenghou is the son of Li Xingcheng, Li Jianqing is the son of Li Kun, this is the blood of the Li family, why? Why should I leave it to her?

Suddenly, she thought that Shen Zhitang had told her in Xilin City three years ago that she might be the last bloodline of the Li family

Li Jianqing knew it, but Li Chenghou ......

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and Fu Yuheng walked in quickly: "Weichen has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess~"

Li Zhilian helped him up: "The army is settled?" ”

Fu Yuheng got up: "No~ handed over to General Shu"

Li Zhilian nodded slightly, and asked suspiciously: "So anxious, but what's the matter?" ”

Fu Yuheng nodded, took out a note from the belt around his waist and handed it to her, "This was thrown to me by someone on the way to the Blue Flag Barracks." ”

Li Zhilian opened the note, which read: Encircle and suppress the Western Zhou military camp tonight

"Encircle and suppress the Western Zhou military camp?" Li Zhilian pondered for a while and asked, "Is it from the Blue Flag Army?" ”

Fu Yuheng looked at her: "It shouldn't be, the military newspaper said that the Blue Flag Army has been wiped out!" ”

It's not the Blue Flag Army, but who is it? Anti-Weekly Organizations? Li Zhilian shook his head vigorously, forcing himself to calm down a little: "Tonight, we will stall the Western Zhou military camp at night."

The garden is planted with a large field of seasonal flowers, which look a little listless in the hot sun

Li Zhilian asked casually, "Did Lord Shen explain anything to you?" ”

Fu Yuheng thought for a long time before he said slowly: "Yes~"

Li Zhilian stopped and turned his head sideways: "What did he say?" ”

Fu Yuheng took out a letter from his arms: "He said that this was copied by Lord Liu Wen and Liu when he went to Hushan in Jing'an City"

Li Zhilian opened the envelope and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Fu Yuheng replied: "Lord Shen said that Lord Liu didn't want to take the things of the dead, so he copied the silk book."

Li Zhilian nodded, and quickly glanced at the contents of the letter

Since His Majesty gave me the black jade, I have researched day and night and finally discovered the secret hidden by the black jade, which is a treasure map and a key.

The black pupil is the only way to open it

The black pupil is also the only symbol of the Xiao family

It is like a mole in His Majesty's pupils, the only symbol of the Li family

The words in the letter made Li Zhilian stunned, Shen Zhitang knew that Li Jianqing was not Li Kun's son, so he would hand over the army to her and let her make her own choice

After a long time, Li Zhilian asked dryly: "...... him Did you say anything else? ”

Fu Yuheng shook his head and said, "No! Before leaving, Lord Shen only asked me to bring this letter to you, and then asked me to obey your command after I arrived in Xilin City."

How does this make her choose? Li Zhilian only felt that he was about to collapse, raised his head, let out a long breath, and asked, "So you also know that it was Shen Qiu on the carriage, and Shen Zhitang didn't come?" ”

Fu Yuheng nodded: "Yes...... I know that the night before departure, Lord Shen came to me and told me about the current situation, and he concluded that Western Zhou did not really want to go to war, but had some ulterior secret, and that secret might be aimed at His Majesty, so he wanted to stay."

"What about me? What am I? Li Zhilian gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice

"Lord Shen said that you are his last retreat, as long as you are still there, everything he has done will be worth it"

Li Zhilian held back his tears and turned his back to Fu Yuheng: "You go down to rest first, and we will set off to the Western Zhou military camp as soon as it gets dark."
