Back to the Northland (2)

After resting in the south for a few days, Qingyue's illness was also cured, and after getting ready, he set off again Xichen said that once they left the south country, the elite sailors of the south country would also set off for the western coast

It seems that Xichen has been prepared for a long time, Shen Wan no longer pays attention to it, and takes the child back to the north with the escort of the big ship

Xichen chose the nearest waterway, so as to reach the territory of the northern country early, and then return to the capital by land

It was already a month in the month, and after a few snowfalls, even the official road was difficult, but fortunately, they were not in a hurry, and the carriage was made anti-skid, and then slowly drove towards the capital

A few days later, seeing the outskirts of the capital, Qingyue stared curiously outside, and asked Shen Wan: "It looks no different from the West Country here, it's white everywhere, will it be fun?" ”

Shen Wan smiled: "You only know how to play, what's fun outside, when you get to the capital, I will take you into the palace, which is different from the palace of the Western Kingdom."

Qingyue asked excitedly, "Really, really?" ”

Shen Wan smiled, and the nurse smiled: "That is, Miss Qingyue, this illness is cured, and the human leaves are spiritual."

Qingyue grinned, still lifted the curtain and looked out, and suddenly, I only felt a strong wind coming, and an arrow "swished" on the side, almost hitting Qingyue, and Qingyue suddenly screamed

Shen Wan was alert, pulled Qingyue over, and then heard a continuous "whoosh" sound, and then the sound of arrows shooting on the carriage

Qingyue asked in fear, "What's wrong?" Isn't it...... Pursuers? ”

Shen Wan groaned slightly, and said: "This is the territory of the northern country, how can there be chasing soldiers!" The curtain outside the door opened, and the guard who was driving the car rushed inside: "Niangniang, sit tight, I'm afraid there are assassins!" ”

Because Xichen did not ride with him, but rode with the guards, Shen Wan hurriedly said: "Let the emperor be careful!" The carriage continued to move forward, and Shen Wan heard the sound of blades intersecting

Qingyue asked nervously, "It's not a chaser, then ...... Could that be a bandit? ”

Shen Wan sneered: "This is already the outskirts of the capital, no matter how bold the bandits are, they will not dare to commit murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven!" What's more, we are not a caravan, how can the bandits come to rob us? ”

"Bang", it seemed that something hit the carriage, the three of them were hit and rushed forward, Shen Wan pulled Qingyue with one hand, grabbed the door frame with the other, the nurse was also alert, grabbed the window lattice and didn't fall but the carriage stopped

I don't know what the battle situation is outside, Shen Wan didn't dare to open the curtain, Qingyue couldn't help it, looked out from the door curtain, and suddenly shouted loudly Shen Wan followed her gaze and looked out, the guard who was driving the car was dead

There was another "bang", the carriage was hit again, and Shen Wan hurriedly said: "Get out of the car!" While she took the child from the nurse's hand, she was the first to get out of the car, and the guards outside were fighting with a group of men in black, and the three of them dodged the rain of arrows and hid aside

I saw a man in black lifting a boulder and smashing it into the carriage, the carriage immediately became torn apart, Qingyue and the nurse both called out, Shen Wan pursed her lips, and stared at the group of people in black with blazing eyes

Zhao'er suddenly cried out with a "wow", and a man in black who was closer heard it and rushed towards them with a big knife, Shen Wan chuckled in her heart, and immediately said, "Hurry up!" ”

The three of them ran away, and Xichen over there also saw that the man in black was chasing Shen Wan, and the only frowning eyebrow also chased after him, and he killed the man in black and protected Shen Wan in front of him, and said: "There is a pile of stones over there, you guys hide behind first, I don't think these people are good!" ”

It seems that he also saw the strangeness of these people! Shen Wan looked at him and said, "Be careful! ”

Xichen nodded, and while blocking the dark arrows that came from him, Shen Wan and the three of them hid behind the stone pile, because Xichen was a micro-suit and did not alarm the officials along the way, how can he still carry the name of "retreat"! So there aren't a lot of guards, but fortunately, they're all well-trained, but those men in black don't seem to be idle people, and they seem to be trained practitioners!

The leader of the man in black seemed to be entangled in Xichen, and his tricks were ruthless, so that Shen Wan didn't want to do anything with the dust, so he handed the child to the nurse, and rushed out with Wang Fengjian himself, Qingyue hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Niangniang, what are you doing!" ”

Shen Wan pressed her hand and said, "You and the nurse don't make a noise here, protect Zhao'er!" Saying that, she jumped out, since she practiced swordsmanship with Wang Feng, her cultivation in swordsmanship has been very strong

Wang Feng came out of the sheath, pointed the sword at the black-clothed leader, the black-clothed leader looked at the helper, was stunned for a moment, hurriedly avoided Wang Fengjian, Shen Wan made another move, and the black-clothed leader retreated three or four steps, and when he saw clearly who came and the sword used, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Wang Fengjian!" ”

Shen Wan sneered: "Hmph, count you as having eyesight!" "It's no nonsense, it's still a move

The black-clothed leader hesitated, then suddenly stepped back and shouted, "Withdraw!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and before they could think about it, the group of people had already retreated with the leader

The guards were puzzled, so they said: "That's it, poor Kou Mo chases, there are the corpses of their companions on the ground, and then call someone to check them" and asked Shen Wan again: "Are you okay?" ”

Shen Wan shook her head, let Qingyue and the nurse come out, held the child and coaxed her for a while, looked up and smiled at Xichen: "It's strange that these people are here, it seems that the news that the emperor is not in the palace has leaked."

Xichen's face was gloomy, and he said: "I am not in the palace, and few people know about it!" Who could have leaked the news? ”

Shen Wan said lightly: "Just now, those people clearly want to know that I am dying, and it seems that even Zhao'er refuses to let go!" Otherwise, the carriage would not have been destroyed! It seems that someone doesn't want me and my children to go back to the palace! ”

Xichen frowned and said, "No matter who it is, I will definitely let you and your child return to the palace safely!" Investigate and punish that person, I will cut him with a thousand knives! ”

Shen Wan looked at the sparse carriage and said, "The carriage is gone, it seems that I have to ride a horse, just enter the city before dark!" ”

In order to prevent changes, everyone quickly packed up and got on the horse, and finally returned to the capital when it was just dark

Xichen said to Shen Wan: "I can't take you back to the palace now, I can only place you outside the palace first, the twelfth brother knows this matter best, so you can live in the twelfth brother's mansion for the time being."

Shen Wan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Aren't you worried?" ”

Xichen smiled and said, "Worried that Nika is bullying you? I saw your swordsmanship today, and no one would bully you, if you say you're worried about something else...... Well, we have all the children, and I'm afraid you won't be able to escape! ”

Shen Wan was stunned, her heart sank, seeing that she had arrived in front of the gate of the twelfth mansion, Xi Chao had already stood at the door and waited, and when she saw them coming, she hurriedly knelt down to ask for peace

Knowing that he couldn't bear to look at the court, he was helped by Xichen to get off the horse, and he was led to the courtyard where he lived with his head down, and someone came to serve and freshen up

Because this is the mansion of Xichao, Shen Wan seemed a little absent-minded, and she slept with the child in a daze, and she didn't know when Xichen left
