Chapter 123: Secretly Playing the Game

As Gao Chengyan speculated, the solution that Shen Zhizhang came up with was to join forces with the prince. As the so-called enemy of the enemy is my friend, in line with this principle, Shen Zhizhang went to negotiate with the prince, but the prince held a grudge and was stunned and did not allow him to step into the East Palace for half a step, and after the matter was delayed for two or three days, the whole situation changed.

Liu Bin on the front line sent an excerpt, and the emperor was completely dumbfounded: the sixth princess was not dead, and was secretly taken hostage by the people of the Northern Night Country. At this time, the second prince, who had already blackened, said: The emperor retired and abdicated, everything is easy to discuss, and the two countries are still good friends. If he insisted on fighting, then he wouldn't be able to stop the Northern Night Kingdom if he wanted to kill the six princesses. When the time comes, your emperor will kill his daughter for the sake of power, and the little dragon chair will be punished if he can't sit steadily.

The evaluation of this brocade book is: Isn't the second prince a fool? What kind of ability does the Northern Night Kingdom have to take the six princesses as hostages? He jumped up and down, so he wasn't afraid that the Northern Night Kingdom would tie him up and have two hostages?

Gao Chengyan also sighed a little: "It's a pity that I gave him a good hand of chess to let him play like this." ”

"So he also knows that my carriage accident is fake?" Jin Shu frowned and found that things were not so simple: "So you and the second prince have teamed up?" ”

"On the surface." Gao Chengyan kindly explained: "His brain is not as good as yours." He thought I was helping him, and I asked him if he wanted to put the prince along, and he said yes. The second prince was blind, he thought that the beam had me, and Beiye had already surrendered to him, and the victory was in his hands. As everyone knows, I don't know that I was sent to the door as a hostage. ”

"Then does he know that you calculated Shen Zhiyan's expedition to the Northern Night Kingdom?"

Hearing this, Gao Chengyan laughed and said: "What is there to say, you are a hostage, is there anything that the Shen family can't say to save you?" ”

"Hello ......" Jinshu sighed a lot: "It seems that so many people who have entered the game are just your pawns." ”

"There are some that don't."

"For example?"

"Northern Night Country." Gao Chengyan poured a cup of tea and took a slow sip before saying, "They are really fighting." ”

"You ...... "Uncle!" Jin Shu burst into foul language in his heart, and suppressed his anger several times before asking, "Then you still let my eldest brother go on the expedition?" I thought ......"

"Why do you think so? Look at you. Gao Chengyan smiled lightly and said, "Shen Zhiyan is very powerful." Don't underestimate him...... For a general who has been sick for many years, it can be said that it is his lifelong wish to return to the battlefield. What do you think of it...... The zombie and lonely village does not mourn, and Shang Si is the national military wheel. Lying down at night and listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse and the glacier fell into a dream. ”

"How do you know?" This is what she and Shen Zhizhang said in private, how could Gao Chengyan know?

"It's a long story." Gao Chengyan sneered and said, "Last time Shen Zhizhang went on a scientific expedition, I originally wanted to secretly operate for him, but the result was beyond my expectations. This poem was the best on the test paper, and it added a lot of luster to him. I was amazed at how he could write it, and then Xiaohuan told me that you wrote it. He said and glanced at Jinshu up and down, and said with a hint of doubt in admiration: "I don't want your letter to be written like that, and you still have such a ability?" ”

"I didn't write it." Jinshu denied: "It's just a nameless book." ”

"It's ...... It's possible. Gao Chengyan nodded in agreement with this statement: "In short, it should be Shen Zhiyan who wants to rebuild the Shen family army and revitalize the Shen family more than me." When the time comes, Lan Ting will be with the army, and you can rest assured physically; There is also Zhuhai who will be his lieutenant under a pseudonym, so there is no need to worry about safety. No matter how bad it is, I will release Yuwenbai, and Yuwenqiao will naturally withdraw at that time. ”

"Why is that?"

"Yuwenbai is alive, and Yuwenqiao's throne can't be kept." Gao Chengyan will not elaborate until now. I had to persuade him: "Since you are pregnant, go back to the house to take care of the fetus, what do you run to my study every day?" ”

"Learn how to play chess with you!" Jin Shu rolled his eyes, deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "chess" to tease him, and then took the books on the two shelves, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”

Gao Chengyan smiled and said nothing, he didn't refute, just silently watched the back of Jinshu leaving. In fact, he didn't know why he trusted this cousin so much, if he really wanted to explore a thing or two, I'm afraid it would have to start with her falling into the water a few years ago.

But looking at her appearance, I shouldn't know yet. When the fourth princess and the fifth princess caused her to fall into the water, he rescued her.

Thinking of this, Gao Chengyan smiled slightly. He sat quietly for a while, then lowered his head and began to write again.

———————————

There was no time to think about all the details, and the news that the sixth princess was a hostage broke all the plans of Shen Zhiyan, Shen Zhizhang, and Zhu Dongxu. As soon as the news reached the Shen Mansion, Shen Zhiyan raised his hand and poured three bowls of medicine, and immediately ordered the Wang family to go to the martial arts hall behind the ancestral hall to take out the silver-armored spear that had been sealed for many years.

The silver armor, which has not been seen for many years, is still the same as in the memory of the year after being cleaned and sorted out by everyone. Shen Zhiyan raised his hand and gently touched the lines of the silver armor, and the cold temperature of his fingertips instantly brought him back to the days and nights when the Jin Ge Iron Horse was stuffed with frost. The encouragement of the father, the beard of the side plug, the fierce horse of the soldiers, and the celebration wine that was drunk by the collision of the bowls...... Bits and pieces of memories came flooding back to his heart, and his entire chest cavity heated up for a while. His eyes were moist, and his voice was calm and powerful: "Jizhen, put it on for me!" ”

When Wang heard this, he hurriedly raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, stuffed the handkerchief in his sleeve, and held back the tears to loosen his clothes for him, but when his hand touched the armor that was extremely unfamiliar to her, she finally couldn't help crying loudly: "Zhiyan, Zhiyan, do you have to go?" ”

His wife Wang has always been gentle and virtuous, except for crying like this on the first day of marrying him, Shen Zhiyan is the second time to see her lose her temper. Seeing her tears rippling, Shen Zhiyan couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe away her tears and said, "What are you crying about?" ”

"Can I not go?" Wang's voice choked up: "I know it's the sixth princess...... I know, but you're not in good health, you're going to the battlefield......"

"It's because she's the sixth princess." Shen Zhiyan raised his hand to embrace her into his arms, put his chin against her forehead, gently patted her back, and comforted her softly: "She is my brother's wife, my family, and the princess of Daliang." I promised my father that I would take care of my family, and I also promised him that I would take good care of the beams. ”

"But...... But ......" Wang couldn't cry: "Zhiyan, I'm really scared." It took me ten years to take care of you...... I don't know if you're going......"

"I know, I know." Shen Zhiyan was rarely so tender and gentle, he lowered his head and kissed Wang's forehead and said, "I just went to the front line to command, and I can't go to the battlefield." When I pacified the North Night Kingdom and picked up the six princesses, I came back. Look at you crying as if I wasn't coming back. ”

"I didn't." Hearing him say this, Wang quickly wiped away his tears and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you will come back, why don't you come back?" You've said before that you're going to watch our wishful marriage! I'm the only one, but I can't keep myself busy. ”

"Yes, I promised." Shen Zhiyan smiled slightly, slowly let go of the Wang family, wiped the tears on her face and said: "Quickly dress for me, I want to enter the palace to ask for battle, and go to the front line quickly, otherwise I will ......" He didn't say any more, only raised his hand to pick up the armor and put it on his body, Wang hurriedly helped him, and asked softly: "Otherwise, what?" ”

"I'm going late, I'm afraid that the second prince and the sixth princess will become hostages together." After Shen Zhiyan finished speaking, he raised his hand and waited for Wang to tie his bracers, he pretended to be relaxed and joked: "This set of armor has been worn for many years, and I don't want to wear it just right now, as if it was tailor-made." ”

"It shows that my husband's stature hasn't changed over the years." Wang Shi smiled and asked, "Is that so?" I'm hand-born, not very good. ”

Shen Zhiyan turned his wrist to try the tightness, and said with a smile: "No problem, I did it very well the first time." ”

While the husband and wife were gossiping, Shen Zhiyan had already put on his armor. Wang took a step back, looked up and down at Shen Zhiyan's heroic and majestic appearance, and couldn't help but redden.

She has seen Shen Zhiyan, who was pale and weak, lying on the bed coughing, and she had also seen him vomiting and being embarrassed because of drinking medicine. He was weak and arrogant in her eyes, and he needed someone to take care of men carefully. But she didn't think that her Shen Zhiyan might have been the appearance in front of her!

Suddenly, the Wang family understood Shen Zhiyan's wish. An eagle flying in the sky will not be willing to hide in a comfortable birdcage. Maybe he was born to belong to the battlefield.

Thinking like this, Wang smiled with tears: "My husband is so good-looking, I don't know how many girls' hearts will be taken away from this appearance......

Shen Zhiyan shook his head and laughed and said, "What nonsense, I'm already in my thirties......"

Wang gently threw himself into his arms, put his cheek on his cold armor and said, "Then I am the most blessed one, go general, concubine body waiting for you to come back." ”

Hearing her call "general", Shen Zhiyan was stunned for a long time, he gently hugged Wang, sighed and said: "I never thought that in my lifetime, I could still hear my wife call me a general." This life is enough ......"

Wang went to see Shen Zhiyan in tears, and when the husband and wife walked to the gate, they saw Shen Zhizhang, who was also wearing iron armor, standing at the gate and waiting. He is tall, very handsome from a distance, and the whole person seems to be reborn, and he no longer looks lazy in the past. I don't know if it's Shen Zhiyan's illusion, he saw that Shen Zhizhang actually had five or six points of his father's appearance. This made him feel a lot more at ease.

Seeing him coming, Shen Zhizhang saluted on one knee and said, "Big brother, I am willing to go with you!" ”

Shen Zhiyan was full of emotion, both relieved and moved, and bent down to help him up and said, "Okay!" ”

The second son of the Shen family, the stubborn and rebellious teenager at the beginning, finally really grew up after experiencing so many things.

Wang looked at the backs of the two brothers in the distance, gritted his teeth and held back his tears. She is the only one left in the Shen family, she must hold on and wait for them to come back!
