262. Three birds with one stone

Shen Chen hummed in a low voice, let go of Lin Xi, and reluctantly dropped a kiss on her forehead, the action was light and gentle, and Lin Xi's face turned white and red.

Really, it's so unproductive!

Lin Xi secretly spat on himself, coughed dryly, and pulled Shen Chen to get up, "Then I'll take down the things I need to bring back from the carriage, so that the carriage is lighter and you can hurry quickly." ”

Shen Chen nodded, and the two returned to the carriage.

Shen Chen didn't let Lin Xi do it, he went up and put everything together and took it out, and it was quickly done.

This movement woke up Yi Huaijin, got out of the car sleepily, and was stunned when he watched this scene.

Shen Chen came to him and said, "Take care of my lady, if something happens, I ......"

"Shen Chen!"

Lin Xi interrupted Shen Chen's words with a grimace and hurriedly grabbed him. Where did you say that to a child! Shame on you!

Even if Lin Xi was reluctant now, he didn't want to see him, so he urged: "Hurry up, hurry up and find your friend!" "If she stays any longer, she will be embarrassed to die in front of Yi Huaijin, a junior!

Shen Chen hugged Lin Xi again, got into the carriage step by step, and drove the carriage away calmly.

Seeing that the carriage was getting farther and farther away, Lin Xi was infinitely reluctant. As soon as they separated, she began to miss Shen Chen.

Yi Huaijin looked at Lin Xi, then looked in the direction where Shen Chen left, and pointed to his subordinates. Moved Lin Xi's things to the carriage, then walked to Lin Xi's side, and asked curiously, "Aunt Lin, where is Uncle Shen going?" ”

"Yuezhou County."

Yi Huaijin was puzzled: "Is there a friend in Yuezhou County that Uncle Shen knows?" But I heard Ah Dai say, hasn't Uncle Shen been staying in Pingxian all the time? ”

Lin Xi said: "Hey, your Uncle Shen has actually been to many places before. "I've even been to the South, so what's so strange about having friends here?

Lin Xi yawned, "I'm sleepy, Huai Jin, Aunt Lin went to sleep in another carriage, and I won't squeeze with you." On the road ahead, you have taken me hard. ”

"If Aunt Lin is there, it's good if Aunt Lin doesn't dislike it." Yi Huaijin immediately asked his subordinates to clear the other carriage and take the mattress to lay it out for Lin Xi.

Fortunately, the two carriages in Yifu were very large, full of things, and the open space was enough for Lin Xi to sleep. Lin Xi didn't let the Yi family's subordinates busy, and slept after laying out the mattress.

However, Lin Xi slept very unsteadily, and he would wake up when he heard a little movement.

After a night, it was clear that the place where he slept was very soft, but Lin Xi slept with a sore back.

She wondered, could it be that she recognized the carriage?

Anyway, she felt something weird, something was wrong.

……

The other side.

In the second half of the night, Shen Chen finally went to the pavilion.

When he arrived, he saw that there were already people sitting in the pavilion, and there were guards on each side of the pavilion.

The surrounding scenery is desolate, the forest is bleak, but Yi Hong is leisurely playing chess, and the hot tea next to the chessboard is still steaming.

Shen Chen got out of the carriage and strode over, and when the guards saw him, they held the saber at their waist vigilantly.

Yi Hong said unhurriedly: "Let's go down." You are not enough for him to move his muscles. ”

The guards left quietly, and Shen Chen went to the pavilion, his face was as cold as a pine and cypress, and his black eyes were sharp and cold.

"If you let them go, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"You won't."

Yi Hong got down, raised his hand slightly, and asked Shen Chen to sit.

It's just that Shen Chen didn't move, and Yi Hong said with a smile: "Since you came, it means that you still care about whether your lady can go back safely, doesn't it?" As long as you and I cooperate well, no matter how useless my people are, I can still escort them back safely. ”

Shen Chen sneered: "Yi Hong, you are really going back more and more. Threatening people with women, that's how you do it? ”

"Be unscrupulous, just be useful." Yi Hong said, "At the beginning, dozens of tortures failed to force General Shen to bow his head, but now just one woman can make General Shen surrender." Changing small for big is worth it to Yi. ”

"It's not mediocre, she's my lady." Shen Chen sat down with a cold face, his eyes became more and more indifferent, but he was slightly warm when he mentioned Lin Xi.

Shen Chen said: "How could those rebels assassinate? As far as I know, you will only spread the news of your mother's poisoning when the lantern festival will be held tomorrow at the earliest, and take advantage of the chaos to catch them off guard. ”

Before the news spread, why did those people assassinate them?

This is something that Shen Chen can't figure out.

It is also the fundamental reason why Shen Chen came.

He can't tolerate the unknown. As long as it is unknown, it may threaten Lin Xi's safety, and he is not completely sure to protect Lin Xi.

So he can't take risks, he can't not come.

Yi Hong said: "I heard that General Shen's chess skills are not inferior to today's saints, if you can accompany Yi to finish this game of chess, Yi will tell you." ”

Shen Chen was unmoved, "If you want to follow me, you are not qualified." If you don't say it, I, Shen Chen, have never lacked anyone, but you are indispensable to me. I could have found someone else. ”

"For example?"

"Your mother, old lady."

As the words came out, Yi Hong's hand stopped on the chessboard.

Shen Chen crossed his arms and looked at him lightly, and his words were sharp: "The old lady alone is not enough to make your son leave obediently." Unless you go back. But you shouldn't have risked being discovered at such a time to go back to Yi Mansion, then there was only one reason. You know that my lady has spoken to your mother, and you know from the people who have been planted near the inn that we are leaving. So you wonder if the old lady said something that caused us to leave. ”

"Once you go back, you will know from the old lady that she wants to protect my wife. But my wife and her are not related, the first time they met, why did she want to protect my wife? ”

Shen Chen stared at Yi Hong, "So you are curious about this, and deliberately leaked the secret to the rebels in the city, leading them to chase and assassinate." ”

Yi Hong withdrew, "Even if I leak secrets, how can they listen?" ”

"Because of the old lady. The old lady had been seriously ill for many years, and had already made those people ready to move, and when the time came, they would raise an army to rebel. At this time, the old lady wants to protect someone, no matter what the reason, they can't tolerate the emergence of variables. It was also because they didn't know who it was, so they only sent a few people to test it. ”

"But they don't know that there is me, and you know, they will fail. In this way, they will not be able to go back, and the people who sent them will realize that something is wrong, and they will be in trouble, or they will start an incident in advance; In the same way, you succeeded in forcing me back; In the end, you've made sure what you want. ”

Killing three birds with one stone, no matter which one it is, Yi Hong has benefited.

Yi Hong smiled slightly, "Yes, you guessed it." I do wonder why my mother wants to protect you, Mrs. As soon as I go back and talk to my mother, I can be sure of what she thinks. But not anymore. ”
