"Are you sure that's what the other party means?"

"Yes, Lord Wang, Ah Li said that the leaders of the other five or six small tribes have arrested Mr. Yan, and they will release him if you go in person."

Ah Li was also in the team, and when he heard this, he hurriedly nodded to Li Qi: "Yes!" They are bad, catch Yan. He is young and smart, and now he has learned a lot of official dialect, and often translates for Li Qian and Shen Qiutan.

"Is there a place to stay?" Li Qian asked.

"No, Ali knows, the other side of the canyon." Alley was clear.

This area is vast and open, with deep dense forests, and Yan Fa's tribe is only as far as the canyon. As for the other side of the canyon, it is said that the well water on Yan Fa's side has always been inconsistent with the river water.

Li Qian nodded: "Lead the way." ”

Qin Feng persuaded: "Your Highness, is there anything wrong, you really want to risk your life?" "Although they were outnumbered and well-armed, the prince was worried about the princess, so he left nearly half of them to guard the fortress; Moreover, this is the territory of the savages, whether it is the terrain or combat experience, the savages are richer than them. The time and place are favorable, and it seems that they do not occupy the same.

"Hmm." Li Qi responded, as if he understood, and then rode a horse to follow Ah Li.

Qin Feng shook his head, so he had to whip up and chase after him.

…………

The capital, in the abandoned East Palace. A laurel tree spreads in the wind, adding a bit of sparseness.

Changshou was wearing a plain skirt, and opposite was Wang Enshu, who was dressed in a gorgeous brocade phoenix robe.

The two women seemed to have expected such a day, but after all, it was Wang Enshu who couldn't hold his breath first.

"The eldest princess, is this still wearing filial piety to the old princess? How did the palace hear that the eldest princess came to the funeral in time? Now, the world has spread the truth. Wang Enshu flicked his sleeves, revealing the golden thread and phoenix pattern. It seems that only in this way can her noble identity be more revealed.

Changshou chuckled, with a slight disdain in his eyes: "Heh, what the little brother and sister said is that the world is ignorant and accustomed to spreading falsehoods, but some things have been spread too much, and most of them are true." ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Enshu was extremely angry in his heart, and he had to endure it on his face: "Brother and sister are brother and sister, what is a little brother and sister?" "There has always been only a side room partial room, there will be some "little sister-in-law", "little brother and sister" and other nondescript titles, although she is the step-room, that is also the successor of the Son of Heaven, the most noble step-room in the world.

"Well, I really can't see it, it turns out that the little brother and sister still remember their identity." Changshou sneered: "What can I mean?" When it comes to rumors, who can compare to the Queen Mother? ”

Wang Enshu restrained his arrogance, and even felt a little weak: "Since you came to the appointment, you must be sincere, Ah Shen, you and I have been fighting for most of our lives, and now that we are here, can't we let each other go?" ”

Changshou lowered his eyes and looked at the fallen leaves under his feet, and the queen mother said: "As long as you don't chase Sheng'er anymore, you can bring other requests." ”

"Oh? Seriously? Changshou chuckled: "My requirements are not low. ”

"What do you want?" Wang Enshu asked.

"What do I want, will my brother and sister not know?" Changshou asked rhetorically: "My sons and daughters are not to be bullied!" ”

"Are you illustrating beads? But her subordinates also injured Jue'er, and now the injuries are all good! "Xiao Zhao's domineering really comes from Li Shen, the county lord beat the prince, is it possible that the prince wants to make amends to the county lord?

"So, my brother and sister's sincerity is not enough." Changshou said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Wang Enshu suddenly became a little nervous. She originally thought that if Li Shen really insisted, it would be a big deal to quietly let Li Yu accompany her, as long as she stopped holding Huo Sheng, then everything would be easy to say, compared with a grandson who was not related by blood, of course, Sheng'er's future was more important. But what does Li Shen mean by this?

"Shh Changshou put his index finger to his mouth and made a quiet movement, and a bird flew over from the northwest corner and landed on the laurel tree behind the two: "I heard that this tree was planted by the prince himself, the laurel tree, the belonging, and the ghost tree, which one do you think is more suitable?" ”

After speaking, Wang Enshu, who no longer looked like a vegetable, quietly left with his guards.

Wang Enshu, who was left, raised his head and looked at the lush laurel trees, feeling a little cold for no reason.

And she didn't know that tomorrow at dawn, there would be an even bigger storm waiting for her.

…………

Night came quietly, the fortress was not lit, and Li Qian did not return.

Shen Qiutan gently patted his son to coax him to sleep, and his daughter on the side was already drooling.

If Li Qian went well, he should have come back before the night, why hasn't there been any news yet?

Just as he was thinking this, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from outside.

It was a warning signal in the stands.

Bai Zhi was still in the fortress, and Shen Qiutan asked her to take care of the children with Shannai, and walked out after approving and putting on her clothes.

"Mother, it's like a wild man raid. There is already a warning ahead. ”

Shen Qiutan nodded: "Can you see the number of the other party?" ”

"Not to mention two thousand!" Qin Lang went out again, and Zhu Siwu came up, his eyes were bright, and he touched the big ring knife on his waist, his face was not nervous, but a little excited.

"Go meet the enemy and watch out for casualties." Since Zhu Siwu is not afraid, he has nothing to be afraid of.

"Yes." Zhu Siwu left in a hurry.

Soon, screams were heard, and the fort was brightly lit.

Arrows rained wave after wave, fire oil and boulders were not far behind, plus the fortress was strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, unless there was gunpowder, otherwise it would not be possible to come up with human brute force alone.

Shen Qiutan returned to the room, and Changzhen, who woke up, was guarding the children, and immediately asked, "Sister?" ”

"Well, it's okay, if you're worried, let's sleep here extravagantly, the other party is not a big man, it's not our opponent."

Changzhen nodded: "I'm not sleepy yet, I just want to read the book, I'll accompany my sister." ”

He knew that his sister wouldn't sleep, and he couldn't sleep at all.

Sure enough, Shen Qiutan nodded, took the book casually, and picked out the candle by himself, and counted it under the light.

The voices outside came and went, in addition to a few sharp screams, there were also a few faint laughter of Zhu Siwu.

Shen Qiutan flipped through a page of the book and rubbed his neck.

There may be many more nights like this in the future, and she must learn to get used to it.

"Sister, Mr. Yan will be fine, right?" Changzhen put down the book.

Yan Fa didn't accept disciples, and he didn't like Shen Qiutan's behavior of stuffing his younger brother several times, at first he ignored Changzhen, but Changzhen was not ashamed, but asked more and more, and then Yan Fa reluctantly picked up Changzhen's article, I don't know that sentence touched him, since then, it has become a logical thing for Changzhen to ask him to solve his doubts, and it is smoother than Shen Qiutan imagined.

At this moment, the fortress was besieged, Shen Qiutan was calm, and Changzhen probably guessed that it would be okay here, but when he heard that Mr. Yan was tied up, he felt a little uneasy.

Shen Qiutan soothed: "It's okay, I believe in your brother-in-law." ”
