When Lin Xi woke up, the carriage had already stopped.

She got up and lifted the curtain to look out, it was already dark, they stopped in a clearing, the people of Yifu were lighting a fire, smelling the fragrance should have cooked porridge.

Yi Huaijin was by the fire, reading books by the firelight.

Lin Xi looked around and didn't see Shen Chen.

"Huai Jin, where is my father-in-law?"

Lin Xi went out.

Yi Huaijin turned around when he heard this, called Aunt Lin, and said, "Uncle Shen, he said to take a look nearby, and if it is suitable here, he will stay overnight." Wait until early tomorrow morning to continue your departure. ”

Lin Xi passed, "Which direction did he go?" ”

Yi Huaijin pointed to the back.

Lin Xi asked again, "How long have you been going?" ”

Yi Huaijin calculated and said, "It's been half an hour." Uncle Shen didn't leave until dinner, Aunt Lin, you can eat it too, this porridge is still hot, and there are warm meat cakes, as well as some hanging flower cakes and cloud roll cakes. ”

Yi Huaijin motioned to his subordinates to give Lin Xi a treat.

Lin Xi took it and thanked him, and then ate it.

But without seeing Shen Chen, Lin Xi was a little uneasy, and frequently looked at the rear.

Yi Huaijin noticed it and said, "Aunt Lin, the relationship between you and Uncle Shen is really good. ”

Lin Xi said: "We are husband and wife, so naturally we have a good relationship. ”

Saying this in front of a child, Lin Xi was a little embarrassed and didn't say anything further.

Yi Huaijin closed the book, looked at the light of the fire that was extinguishing and beating, and added firewood not very skillfully, and then the subordinate dialed it before the fire continued to burn.

Lin Xi took a bite of the meatloaf, and heard Yi Huaijin whisper: "But not all couples are like you and Uncle Shen. My father and mother didn't get along very well. ”

Lin Xi thought to himself, nonsense, your father uses the Wang family, it's strange that the relationship can be good.

She said, "Everyone has their own fate, and I hope they will ...... in the future Well, it's going to get along. "It's hard to speak with a clear conscience in front of a child.

Yi Huaijin shook her head, "My mother has passed away. ”

Lin Xi shook his hand, "You mean, your dead mother." ”

Yi Huaijin hummed, his little face looked calm, and he clenched the book and said, "Wang is not my mother, my mother is called Zhou Ruoyi." I remember that my mother was not in good health, and it was not easy to give birth to me, and it was not easy to pick up her life, and then she always seemed to be unhappy. At that time, my father was also very busy and rarely came back. The longest time he spent at home was the day his mother died. ”

"And then?"

"Less than half a year after my mother's death, my father married Wang."

"Ah......h

Lin Xi felt that the cake in his hand was not eaten for a while, nor was he not eaten.

She asked, "Do you hate your father?" ”

Yi Huaijin shook his head and said, "Before my mother died, she took my hand and told me that my father couldn't help himself. I didn't understand at the time, I hated my father, but then I understood. Because I was still in Beijing at that time, the people I knew were very different from me, and I heard a lot of things about my family. Then I came to Jinling with my grandmother and saw more. ”

Lin Xi looked at Yi Huaijin and sighed.

How else to say that the children of the high-ranking families know things early.

She said: "Actually, there are always some people around you, who step on the high and praise the low, laugh today and run tomorrow." You don't have to worry about that, just be yourself. If you care about friends, in fact, friends are not expensive, as long as there are a few friends, it is enough. ”

Yi Huaijin nodded seriously, "Aunt Lin, Huaijin understands. Now Huai Jin rarely thinks about that. But now......" he looked at the fire and said gloomily, "I miss my mother a little." ”

Lin Xi couldn't bear it and said, "You're too tired, stop reading, go to the car and rest." ”

Yi Huaijin took a deep breath, hummed, got up and walked to the carriage with the book.

Lin Xi watched him get into the car with heavy steps, sighed, and continued to eat her meal.

After eating, Shen Chen didn't come back, Lin Xi lit the fire with a branch, sat for a while in vain, and simply went to the car to find her medical book and read it.

……

The other side.

The moon and stars were scarce, and in the silent deep forest, Shen Chen held a long sword in his hand, staring at the black-clothed man lying on the ground in front of him with murderous intent.

Most of them were silent, and two or three were still alive, but they were covered in bruises and wounds, and only one breath remained.

Shen Chenjun's face was also stained with blood, he raised his hand and slowly wiped it away, and walked to the nearest person with his sword.

When the other party saw him approaching, he was frightened and crawled with difficulty to get away.

The next moment, the cold sword that was still dripping blood appeared in front of him.

He froze.

This was their weapon, but it was easily taken away by this man, and in the hands of this man he was as invincible as a swimming dragon, and he was shocked, and took their lives in a few words.

"Who sent you?"

Shen Chen's cold voice sounded.

The man in black looked up at him tremblingly, gritted his teeth, suddenly his eyes were round, his body stiffened, and he fell, black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Shen Chen's face changed slightly, and he immediately moved to the other ones.

Who knew that they had already bitten the poison and committed suicide.

Shen Chen clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand little by little.

After a while, Shen Chen closed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "People in the shadows, if you don't come out again, you will never see anyone again." ”

When the words fell, several soft sounds sounded behind Shen Chen.

Shen Chen turned around and saw a person jumping from a tree and landing on the ground.

The other party bowed respectfully, and his back was bent very low: "The villain has seen General Shen." Listen carefully, with imperceptible jealousy in your voice.

Shen Chen recognized him as Yi Hong's henchman in the High Crane Tower in the White Sun.

"I haven't heard anyone call me for a long time."

Shen Chen took a step forward with his sword expressionless, and the other party noticed that he subconsciously retreated.

"Refund what? You are a master with sound hands and feet and came from the military camp, do you need to be afraid of me, a cripple? Shen Chen wiped the blood on the sword with his finger and said lightly.

The person on the other side glanced at the corpses all over the ground, and forced himself to calm down: "General Shen praises falsely, the villain is less than one thousandth of yours." ”

"Oh? One person was insufficient, so Yi Hong sent more than 30 people? Shen Chen raised his eyes, his eyes showing a cold glow, "In this way, Yi Hong's people are unexpectedly wasted." ”

"General Shen misunderstood!"

The man knelt on his knees and bowed his head and explained, "These are not my masters, they are rebels in the city. The master expected that your group might be in danger, so he specially sent a villain to escort you! ”

Shen Chen sneered, "Escort? This head is really high-sounding. It's just that Yi Hong only sent forty elite soldiers, and he wanted to threaten me to go back? Is it that I, Shen Chen, can't use the sword now, or is he Yi Hongpiao? ”

"Not a threat." The man stubbornly said, "The master said that your party has been targeted by the rebels, if General Shen wants your wife to return to Ruyang safely, it is better to go back and solve the rebels once and for all." Otherwise, I'm afraid that there will always be assassinations along the way, no matter how powerful you are, you will not be able to do it, and I am afraid that the escort will not be able to handle it. My master is really thinking about you. ”
