Shen Ning had never been to Hanoi Province, and he was worried about the situation in Nantu, so he only felt that Hanoi Province was very far away.

The 300 Praetorian Guards who escorted Shen Ning to Hanoi Province were carefully selected. Each of them has experienced the battles of Queensland and the Recruiting Division, and they are all loyal to the Shen family.

The head of these three hundred Praetorian Guards, named Zhang Xun, is the lieutenant general of the Praetorian Guard. This man was not brave, but he was known for his carefulness, and the soldiers he brought with him suffered the least losses in the vanguard army. Being able to survive on the battlefield is a great skill. Shen Huashan picked him for this.

The name Shen Ning has always been well protected by Shen Huashan, Shen Zejing and others, and the Praetorian Guards did not know that behind their political affairs and wars, there was Shen Ning's shadow.

Shen Ning is Shen Zejing's only daughter-in-law, or the wife of the tiger general Ying Nantu, all Zhang Xun knows.

Zhang Xun was very puzzled when he received this order. He didn't know why Shen Ning, an inner house woman, wanted to go to Hanoi Dao when the Chinese New Year was approaching, and he wanted to be escorted by him, a Zhonglang general.

It's just that before leaving, Shen Huashan and Shen Yuxian specially called Zhang Xun to come, and repeatedly told Zhang Xun to protect Shen Ning and do his best along the way.

"When the Chinese New Year is approaching, you and the three hundred Praetorian Guards will have special favors; Not only that, but after you successfully complete the mission, you will be promoted and rewarded as appropriate. This trip to Hanoi is also a heavy task in battle! ”

Shen Huashan's expression was very serious, which made Zhang Xun fully realize that escorting Shen Ning this time was not only a private matter of the Shen family, but also a military matter of Zhang Xun, a lieutenant general.

Zhang Xun naturally received the order solemnly, even if there was a lot of confusion, he tried his best to protect Shen Ning and advanced to Hanoi Road in the bitter cold.

In order to facilitate the march, Shen Ning, Qiu Ge, and Qiu Shu's master and servant all changed into men's clothes. The skills learned in Jianhuatang back then were once again put to use.

Shen Ning once again felt that the winter in Dayong was so cold, and it was not much worse than the Changchun Cold Palace. Even though she was wearing a tight padded jacket, she still felt cold.

This kind of cold, one is because of the environment, and the other is because of anxiety. There is no news from Ruliu now, what happened to Ying Nantu and the Shence Left Army?

In such weather, it is most suitable for a woman's family to take a horse-drawn carriage to Hanoi Province. Therefore, Zhang Xun also prepared a carriage for Shen Ning, and the carriage was also equipped with a thick mattress to ensure the comfort of Shen Ning on the road as much as possible.

But Shen Ning didn't even look at the carriage, but ordered Qiu Ge to take out the horse, and she was going to follow Zhang Xun and the others to gallop on the horse in Hanoi - in order to save time as much as possible.

Shen Ning's horses were specially prepared by the horse dealer's saddle. The horse was not particularly athletic, but it was not slow at all, and it was of very good character.

From Lingnan Road to the north, the folder the weather becomes. The three masters and servants of Shen Ning followed Zhang Xun and the three hundred Praetorian Guards and moved forward at the fastest speed.

It can be seen that Zhang Xun and the three hundred Praetorian Guards are accommodating to Shen Ning's master and servant. Despite this, Zhang Xun was still impressed by Shen Ning.

Originally, he thought that most of the women raised in the back house were delicate and couldn't endure hardship at all. Who knew that the three masters and servants of Shen Ning followed them on a rapid march and ran for a day, and they did not cry bitter.

When Zhang Xun wanted to stop and rest in order to take care of Shen Ning, he was stopped by Shen Ning.

"Master Zhang, we can still stand it, let's go to Hanoi Road, hurry up."

Shen Ning smiled and asked Zhang Xun to continue the march. Zhang Xun is a Zhonglang general, and Shen Ning called him Master Zhang as a sign of respect.

"In that case, let's go two more hours. If the little master thinks it's okay, let's stop again. ”

Zhang Xun didn't dare to hold it up, and he still regarded himself as a subordinate to Shen Ning. With the current status of the Shen family, Shen Ning is of course Zhang Xun's master.

The group rode their horses and galloped for several hours, and arrived at Fuzhou in Jiangnan Province, and then stopped.

When Qiu Ge lit the candle flame and saw the red, swollen and broken skin on Shen Ning's inner thighs, he almost shouted out.

"It's okay, I'm okay. Take the ointment and apply it, and you'll be fine tomorrow morning. ”

Shen Ning's expression was relaxed. The skin is fine and tender, and after running on a horse for so long, how can it not be red, swollen and broken? It's also too normal.

Fortunately, before leaving, Shen Ning instructed Qiu Ge to take some plasters from Hu's Anhetang, which are now available for use.

"Which of the soldiers on the battlefield didn't come over like this?" Shen Ning said again, frowning when Qiu Ge applied the plaster to her.

She just rode a horse for a day, and that's it. Those Janissaries, every time they encountered a war, they needed to march quickly; They also have to fight and kill the enemy, they are really hard.

Thinking of these, Shen Ning would think of the wars that Ying Nantu had experienced over the years. Shen Ning has not experienced the hardships of the war in Xining Road and Lingnan Road, and he has no specific concept at all; This time it was just over a day to go to Hanoi Road, and she could imagine how difficult it was for Ying Nantu and the Praetorian Guards!

From Fuzhou in Jiangnan Province to the west, through the areas of Haozhou, Fuyang, and Taihe, you will reach Hanoi Province.

What Zhang Xun took with Shen Ning was the path taken by the Sixth Route Transfer Division back then, which was the fastest military road. Zhang Xun is a person in the military and knows this very well.

Of course, if it was just him and the Praetorian Guards taking Shen Ning with him, of course it would be impossible for them to pass through these places smoothly - these places were under the jurisdiction of the Sixth Route Transfer Division and the Cao Gang.

The Cao Gang is the overlord of the river and the sea, and no one can take this waterway without passing through the Cao Gang.

Zhang Xun thought that he had to pass through these places and open up the line between heaven and earth, so he had to worry about Shen Ning's safety, so he thought about starting from the people in the rivers and lakes to pass the customs smoothly.

However, when he was in Fuzhou, Shen Ning took out a letter and handed it to him, asking him to find Gu Shun, the six-way transfer envoy, and there was no need to worry about the rest.

Dayong's transfer envoy, how could he ignore the Shen family's letters? Zhang Xun thought so in his heart, and sent the letter to Gu Shun's hands suspiciously.

What shocked him happened, Gu Shun actually took the main children of the Cao Gang in person, saying that he would do his best to escort Shen Ning to the water and land checkpoints in Hanoi Road and Taihe, so he didn't have to worry about Shen Ning at all.

Zhang Xun didn't understand why Gu Shun treated Shen Ning so politely, because he didn't know about the situation of the Sixth Route Transit Division transporting military rations two years ago.

At that time, Shen Huashan went to Hanoi Province to quell the chaos, and Gu Shun was responsible for transporting military rations for Hanoi Province, but was ambushed by the guards of the Xiyan Imperial Family. It was Zhang Ge and Ying Nantu who arrived in time with the soldiers of the Recruitment Division to save the lives of Gu Shun and the children of the Cao Gang. ‘

Gu Shun is an official of the Dayong Imperial Court, but he is also the leader of the Cao Gang, and the people in the rivers and lakes value righteousness and kindness the most. Ying Nantu's kindness was remembered by Gu Shun and the children of the Cao Gang.

Now Ying Nantu's wife has to pass through Fuyang and Taihe, does Gu Shunyan have a reason to be unsatisfied? And it's just a gesture of his hand.

Another point, Gu Shun, a child of the rivers and lakes who can be an official of the imperial court, has an extraordinary vision and temperament. After several battles in Xining Dao, Lingnan Dao and Jingzhao, Gu Shun had already judged the future influence of the Shen family, and he was worried that he would not have a chance to show favor to the Shen family. When Shen Ning came, he found an opportunity.

Shen Ning is Shen Zejing's only daughter-in-law.

"I can't be wrong, it will definitely be the world of the Shen family in the future. When you get to know the Shen family, this is also considered to be a creation. ”

That's what Gu Shun said to the children of the Cao Gang. For the sake of the future, he had to escort Shen Ning for a ride.

Of course, Shen Ning knew this, and accepted Gu Shun's escort with peace of mind, and also let Zhang Xun save some snacks. Gu Shun is an eye-catching person, and she knows very well what he and the Cao Gang want.

With Gu Shun's escort, Shen Ning and Zhang Xun soon arrived at Taihe Dutou, where Jiangnan Province and Hanoi Road meet. After going ashore and walking more than 30 miles, it is the jurisdiction of Hanoi Road.

When they were about to go ashore, Shen Ning said goodbye to Gu Shun, took out a letter, and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Lord Gu. This letter was a woman's reply. If Lord Gu is willing, the Shen Family's Praetorian Guard will have a place for Lord Gu. ”

This is a promise on behalf of the Shen family that as long as Gu Shun comes, the Shen family will definitely accept it and will give them the corresponding benefits.

Gu Shun respectfully accepted the letter. The return gift that Shen Ning gave him was exactly what he needed.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Xun on the side was a little arrogant. His task was to take the Praetorian Guards to protect Shen Ning and send Shen Ning to the Shence Left Army smoothly.

However, Shen Ning didn't need to protect it, but the joints on the road were all opened by Shen Ning.

"Lord Zhang, after entering Hanoi Province, I bothered Lord Zhang. I don't know what the situation in Hanoi Province will be, but we still have to disguise ourselves. ”

After sending Gu Shun and the others away, Shen Ning said to Zhang Xun. The places where the two places meet, most of them are remote places. As soon as he stepped into Hanoi Road, Shen Ning clearly felt that the atmosphere here was different.

The corpses and bones that could be seen everywhere on the road, as well as the wild dogs that were biting the corpses on the side of the road, all made Shen Ning know clearly that she had entered the troubled land of Hanoi Road.

In a turbulent situation, it is not easy at all to save his life and find Ying Nantu and Shence Left Army.

Shen Ning knew that his father, Shen Zejing, had come to Hanoi with the right army of Shence. The first thing she has to do is to meet her father Shen Zejing, so that the news will be more well-informed and it will be easier to find Ying Nantu.

At Shen Ning's suggestion, Zhang Xun and the three hundred soldiers all disguised themselves as departing small merchants, dragging shabby goods, and looked like that.

But they had not gone long when they passed a mountain range when they suddenly heard the sound of rustling.

"Be careful!" Zhang Xun immediately pulled out the sword hidden in his waist and hurriedly ordered.

The three hundred Praetorian Guards were all on alert.

Shen Ning, Qiu Ge, and Qiu Shu's master and servant suddenly raised their hearts to their throats and felt extremely nervous.

Immediately, more than a dozen people jumped out of the mountains and forests, which surprised Shen Ning! rs
