Chapter 54: The Uncle of Pingle Village

Sheng Xuanhao and Shen Le'an drove a long way overnight, only going to Pingle Village, twenty or thirty kilometers away.

When dawn broke on the second day, everyone stood at the entrance of Pingle Village. Liuli slept badly in the car overnight, but it was also relatively comfortable, Xiao Si and Xiao Zhuozi exchanged horses, only Shen Le'an and Sheng Xuanhao were driving horses alone, and they had to lead the way in front, plus Shen Le'an was a little worried about what to do if An Fu really caught himself, and he was very tired all the way.

"Someone needs to lower the drawbridge at the entrance of the village so that we can cross the wide river below and enter the city. We also have to go into the city, so that even if An Fu chases after us, his soldiers and horses will definitely fight with Shen Lu of Pingle Village, and then create more opportunities for us to leave, and it is best to fight and lose both. Sheng Xuanhao said to Shen Le'an.

Shen Le'an glanced at the suspension bridge on the opposite floor with tired eyes, where there was no one to guard it.

"This place may be bigger than the village, and since there is a drawbridge inside, I am afraid that it is actually a small city inside, and it is hiding from people's eyes." Shen Le'an analyzed.

"Yes, from here, the endless crowds are all households, maybe it is really Shen Lu's trick to cover people's eyes." Sheng Xuanhao took a closer look at the terrain, it was really a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, a good place, Shen Lu would really choose a place.

"But there is no one guarding outside, will no one come out and open the city gate to let us in if we scream and cut our throats?" Shen Le'an asked.

Sheng Xuanhao could see the fatigue between Shen Le'an's eyebrows, "You go and change the glass and come out to rest for a while, right?" ”

Shen Le'an shook his head, "It's okay." ”

Sheng Xuanhao raised his eyes and looked at the opposite city, how about using light power? Is it possible to cross this river? He calculated the distance and the maximum ability to leap, and finally shook his head in disappointment, no, I'm afraid that no matter how powerful the master is, he will only sigh.

Let's shout loudly.

"Is there anyone on the other side? Please open the gates and let us in. Sheng Xuanhao used his internal strength and shouted loudly.

However, there was no sound on the other side for a long time.

"We are from Anping Kingdom, so we came to seek refuge in Lord Shen Lu and find someone to rely on." Sheng Xuanhao wondered if it was because they were worried that it was the enemy soldiers sent by Anfu in disguise, so he ignored it, so he changed his statement, but unexpectedly, the city tower opposite was still silent, and not even a bird flew by.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a person suddenly appeared on the city gate, and he stood on the top of the city gate wearing filial piety clothes and looked over.

"Who's coming?" The people above the city gate shouted at Sheng Xuanhao.

"We're passing through here, and we want to open the gates and let us pass." Sheng Xuanhao replied.

The people above the gate were silent for two seconds, and then shouted in reply, "Wait a minute, I'll go tell our lordship." ”

The people above the gates vanished.

After waiting for about an hour, two people appeared above the city gate, one was an ordinary young man who had just gone to call someone, and the other was a middle-aged man.

"Who is under the gates?" The ordinary young man beside the middle-aged man asked again.

Sheng Xuanhao and Shen Le'an glanced at each other, and as soon as Sheng Xuanhao wanted to answer, the middle-aged man recognized Shen Le'an at a glance.

"That girl, but I borrowed two silver taels from Jinzhen to buy a horse?" The middle-aged man asked.

"Yes, it's me, the horse money I paid for you." Shen Le'an replied to him loudly.

"Put the drawbridge down and let them in." The middle-aged man admonished, and the ordinary young man beside him asked, "My lord, what if they are spies who have mixed in?" ”

The middle-aged man glanced at him: "I know in my heart, open the door." ”

"Yes." The ordinary young man left to open the drawbridge.

After a while, the suspension bridge was lowered, and Shen Le'an and his party walked across the suspension bridge, and as soon as they walked over, the suspension bridge was immediately put away.

Sheng Xuanhao looked at the closed city gate downstairs, and looked up to see that the middle-aged man was no longer upstairs, presumably on the way down to open the door.

"Be careful when you go in, don't reveal your identity easily." Sheng Xuanhao lowered his voice and said to Shen Le'an.

Shen Le'an glanced at him, then nodded.

The middle-aged man walked down with the ordinary young man, he commanded to open the small door next to the city gate, stood at the door and said to Shen Le'an: "Everyone, there are some special circumstances in our city now, so it is not suitable to open the city gate for everyone, you just pass by here, and I will escort you out of here." ”

Shen Le'an and Sheng Xuanhao nodded, jumped off the horse's back at once, and led the horse through the small door.

As soon as we crossed the gate, everyone walked into the city gate, Shen Le'an raised his eyes and took a closer look, it was a very wide field inside, but unfortunately it was deserted, how could it be?

Shen Le'an looked back at the middle-aged man and instructed the ordinary young man to lock the door and put the bolt down, and then the middle-aged man saluted Shen Le'an respectfully: "On that day, I would like to thank the girl for coming to the rescue, which saved me a lot of trouble, and I immediately asked people to prepare money for the girl." ”

"No need, just a little bit." Shen Le'an waved his hand.

"Where, then, are you going through this gate?" The middle-aged man asked.

"We're going to a farther place, and we need to pass through your land, so it's really annoying." Sheng Xuanhao replied.

"Okay, okay, then I'll send you away, don't bother anymore, it's inconvenient to keep people in this city now." The middle-aged man said that he was about to send Shen Le'an and his party away.

Shen Le'an and Sheng Xuanhao glanced at each other suspiciously, and then left behind the middle-aged man.

There are really no people along the way, isn't it an empty city plan? Or are many people actually hiding in the shadows with hidden arrows?

Occasionally, when I met one, I saluted respectfully to the middle-aged man and shouted, "My lord." The middle-aged man smiled kindly at him.

"Dare I ask who you are?" Sheng Xuanhao took the liberty of asking.

The middle-aged man glanced at Sheng Xuanhao with ulterior motives, and then said, "Shen Lu, I am Shen Lu." ”

"Lord Shen, don't worry, we're just passing by, and we have nothing to do with the imperial court." Shen Le'an explained to him.

Shen Lu looked at Shen Le'an and smiled knowingly, "Okay, okay." ”

Shen Lu came to the exit of the city with a group of people, "Then say goodbye, the front is not too peaceful, please be more careful." ”

Shen Le'an nodded, turned around and was about to get on the horse with a half-bypass long skirt, when Shen Lu noticed that she was wearing a bracelet on her hand to scratch the long skirt.

"Wait." Shen Lu shouted.

Shen Le'an looked back at him and stopped getting on the horse, "What's the matter, Lord Shen?" Liuli also opened the curtain and poked his head out, and Xiao Si had already clenched the sword in his hand.

Sheng Xuanhao also looked over, and looked around, keeping vigilant at any time, he was also afraid that this Shen Lu would not believe in himself so easily, let the group go over, what if many people around stood up and were holding weapons and arrows?

"Girl, where are you from?" Shen Lu asked Shen Le'an.

Shen Le'an tidied up his clothes, "People from An Pingguo." ”

"What's the last name?" Shen Lu continued to ask.

"Shen Le'an."

"Shen, Shen Le'an?" Shen Lu stumbled and took two steps back.

"What's wrong?" Shen Le'an asked.

"Can you take off the jade bracelet in the girl's hand and show it to me?"

Shen Le'an raised his hand and glanced at his jade bracelet, he won't give it back to me, this is a relic left by my mother, and after a while, she took it off.

"Yes." Shen Le'an handed the jade bracelet to Shen Lu.

Shen Lu took it and looked at it carefully in his hand for a moment, he even looked at the sky for a while, and finally returned the jade bracelet to Shen Le'an with red eyes, and asked, "Miss Shen, where did you get this jade bracelet?" How is it so good jade? I've lived most of my life, and I've never seen something so good. ”

Shen Le'an took it and put it back on his hand: "What was left by the deceased mother must be a family heirloom." ”

Shen Lu couldn't hold back a stumbling and almost fell down, and the ordinary young man around him immediately supported him: "My lord, my lord." ”

"Lord Shen, are you alright?" Shen Le'an stepped forward and asked.

Shen Lu waved his hand, "Let me ask you, you, you, are you, surnamed An?" ”

Shen Le'an's eyes widened, he, he knew? Could it be that Anfu has already sent him a letter asking him to intercept him?

"I ......" Shen Le'an was hesitating whether he should confess or not, whether the person in front of him was good or bad, and whether he was trustworthy or not?

Sheng Xuanhao stepped forward, stopped in front of Shen Le'an, and said to Shen Lu: "She is, I don't know what the relationship between Lord Shen and her is?" ”

Shen Lu immediately cried into tears, and cried loudly to the sky: "Ah, little sister, I finally found your daughter, it's not easy." ”

Seeing him like this, Shen Le'an already began to feel that he was his relative a little bit after his words.

"Le'er, your name is Le'er, right, I am, I'm your uncle, we're almost going to miss it, but fortunately, it's your queen mother who has a spirit in the sky, I can finally find you, God." Shen Lu pushed away the hands of ordinary young people and staggered towards Shen Le'an, grabbed Shen Le'an's hand and began to cry and complain.

"Uncle, you, are you really my uncle?" Shen Le'an asked Shen Lu.

Shen Lu nodded hurriedly, "I am, I am, but, let's go, go back to my house first, it's not safe outside, and people will die." ”

Shen Lu said that he was about to pull Shen Le'an back, Shen Le'an glanced at the sky suspiciously, why did he die.

Sheng Xuanhao stood in place and watched Shen Le'an being taken away by Shen Lu, he turned his head to look at Xiao Zhuozi, who immediately jumped down from the carriage and came to him: "Childe." ”

"Be careful, it's weird here."

"Yes." Xiao Zhuozi answered, and then the group followed Shen Le'an in.

Shen Lu took Shen Le'an into a house, pulled her straight to sit down, poured water for her and gave her food, and waited for Shen Le'an to drink three glasses of water before he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked excitedly: "Le'er, hurry up and tell your uncle, where have you been all these years?" ”

Shen Le'an swallowed a mouthful of water, and just as he was about to speak, Shen Lu stood up again, "Xiao Huang, you take these people to the backyard to arrange for them to stay." ”

The ordinary young man named Xiao Huang immediately nodded in response, "You guys come with me to the backyard." ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Shen Lu's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

"Just let them follow, I don't have to." Sheng Xuanhao directly excused himself, he always felt that this place was weird, in case this was just a confession drama of Shen Lu, what should he do, Shen Le'an is so stupid, it's strange if he doesn't die!
