Shen Nianyi got the three hundred personal soldiers of the Empress Dowager, and only brought Qiu Cheng with him, Yu Ze wanted to stay and take care of it, Tang Churou assisted, he suddenly thought that there was no Shaoqing in Dali Temple to help recently, and it seemed that the official business was heavier and busier.

Qiu Cheng had already gone home, got the news, rode up to catch up, and was startled when he saw this battle: "My lord, where did these light horses come from?" ”

"The Empress Dowager's personal guards." Shen Nian saw that he was in a hurry, and his face was covered with sweat, "Wipe your face, don't be so dry." ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, the outside of the city is open, and it will be difficult to find it when the time comes." Qiu Cheng raised his sleeves and said secretly, what means did the Lord use, even the Queen Mother's personal guards were taken out of the Tiandu City, "My lord, where are we going?" ”

"The border between the two countries."

Qiu Cheng's voice trembled slightly: "The border with the Shun Heavenly Kingdom? ”

"Scared?" Shen Nian's gaze swept over quietly.

Qiu Cheng immediately puffed up his chest and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, what is there to worry about when walking with adults, I just feel a little sudden." ”

"It was a matter of urgency, and it was a decision made on the fly." Shen Nianyi looked at the rapid march ahead, "Their equipment is better than you and mine. ”

"What do you mean?" Qiu Cheng was overwhelmed by the news one after another, but the adult's speech was unfathomable, and his brain couldn't turn around.

"These pro-guards of the Queen Mother are all taken care of by special personnel, and the full set of equipment is complete, no more than you and me, who were temporarily recruited." The corners of Shen Nianyi's mouth rose slightly, this way over, it must be a colder and colder place, although he has internal force to protect his body, and the clothes on his body are a little thin, but it is not a big deal, there will always be a way to solve it when the time comes.

He looked Qiu Cheng up and down again, and saw that he was riding alone, only on the road, and probably didn't even bring a change of clothes: "It's also good to be alone." ”

"Have you ever said goodbye to your wife?" As soon as Qiu Cheng's words came out, he hurriedly lowered his voice, even he was in a hurry to be recruited, the adults must have made a decision with the emperor in the palace, and where did the time come from, but he heard about it when he was in Dali Temple, saying that Mrs. recently had a knife technique, and he was afraid that he would suffer again.

Sure enough, Shen Nian's eyes were heavy, he had just left Tiandu City, he had already begun to miss, missed Shi Ning who was lying softly, even if he had suffered so much, one of her hearts was still hanging on his body, and he insisted on checking his wounds first, I was afraid that in her little heart, he had already occupied a full position, and others would not be able to squeeze in.

However, she was also wronged herself, Shen Nianyi always thought that she couldn't let her suffer anymore, but she didn't expect that every time she broke her word, it was him, he always brought her close to the most dangerous places and met those most dangerous people.

Qiu Cheng saw that he was silent, so he naturally didn't dare to speak more, and when he saw a good horse coming over, some of the three hundred people came over to talk.

"Shen Zhengqing, below is Que Yingjie, the captain of the pro-guard team." That person was only in his twenties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was very energetic, "The Empress Dowager's decree is already in my hands, and I will try my best to cooperate with Shen Zhengqing's actions." ”

After speaking, he arched his hand, and without waiting for Shen Nian to reply, he ran to the front of the team.

Qiu Cheng coughed lightly and said, "What does he mean by trying to do his best?" ”

"That is, he feels that he is on an equal footing with me, and I can't use my identity as an official to suppress him, he is the captain of the personal guard directly under the Empress Dowager." Shen Nianyi said very slowly, "This trip is all for important tasks, before official business, he will definitely cooperate well, outside of official business, please don't dispatch him at will." ”

Qiu Cheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "This, is this to give us a dismount?" ”

Think about it, they are three hundred personal guards, they are only two people, or temporary requisition, where will they really obey wholeheartedly, and work together.

"Maybe." Shen Nianyi replied thoughtfully.

"Sir, you don't mind at all?" Don't mind that Que Yingjie was unruly and didn't look at Dali Temple Zhengqing in his eyes, Qiu Cheng wanted to be anxious, but Shen Nianyi was so calm, as if everything was under control, there was no need to worry at all.

"Mind it." Shen Nianyi replied solemnly, "Why don't you mind, if I call him to charge into battle, he gives me an excuse and refuses to send troops, what will I do." ”

"But, but, when I see the attitude of the adults, it seems to be very tolerant." Qiu Cheng has been following Shen Nian for a long time, and he has long had no bad habit of twisting and pinching, and he thinks of everything straightforwardly, which is the attitude of Shangguan to deal with things.

"He's just a temptation." Shen Nian looked at the person very accurately, since this Que Yingjie was able to hold this position in obscurity, it must be the power of the Empress Dowager's mother's family, this small group of people, three hundred, not too much, not much less, it is more than enough to save his life, maybe this is an idle errand, and he will not be used for the rest of his life.

Therefore, no matter how well-equipped and well-trained they are, these people are just a group of soldiers on paper, not to mention those elites under Ningxia Sheng, who probably retired from the barracks, can overpower them.

However, because of their special status, they must be too high, even the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, from beginning to end, did not prepare to put it in their eyes, and actually just left Tiandu City only ten miles away, first prepared to directly suppress it with a high profile, they had a full three hundred people on their side, and there were only two people on the other side.

"What about the results of the temptation?" Qiu Cheng asked cautiously.

"I don't think we're worth it at all." Shen Nian had a smile at his eyes, but the smile was cold and unpredictable.

Qiu Cheng heard himself grunt and swallowed saliva, and didn't know how to answer, that Que Yingjie probably had eyes on the top of his head all year round, so he was basically blind, even if he was blind, his ears were not good, hadn't he heard of those things that adults investigated in Dali Temple, and those things even the first emperor had to praise from time to time.

"So, I think it's forgivable to see how closed they usually are and how they usually show such an attitude." Shen Nianyi said such arrogant words, so that people could not refute them at all.

Qiu Cheng also laughed, a heart that was still hanging was completely put back, he knew that the adults must have found the most suitable way to deal with it, not to mention the three hundred frogs at the bottom of the well who had never been far away, even if there were three hundred, there was nothing to be afraid of.

After chasing for four hours, Que Yingjie appeared in front of him again: "Shen Zhengqing, the sky is about to dawn, and people are most likely to be tired and tired at this time, do you want to rest all?" ”

Shen Nianyi didn't look at him at all: "Hurry for another half an hour." ”

"Shen Zhengqing!" Que Yingjie was obviously a little resistant, and was expected by Shen Nian, these so-called elite soldiers had never gone far at all, and they did not expect that they would suddenly receive the queen mother's decree, and they would be ready to go in time, except for taking all the equipment and riding their own horses, there was no time to make other adjustments.

Some people didn't even sleep well the night before, and then rushed all the way to catch up, and their bodies couldn't bear it, especially from midnight to dawn, and it was such a season, the fog spread, and the breathing was not smooth.

The Empress Dowager's Yi was in the hands of Que Yingjie, he knew that things were definitely not simple, but he was instigated by a few people, his head was a little hot, and he was indeed tired, so he came over to ask arrogantly, saying that it was an inquiry, but in fact, it was a commanding tone.

Unexpectedly, Shen Nian didn't think about it, and directly pushed back a sentence.

Que Yingjie's face sank and said: "If Shen Zhengqing feels that he can't sleep halfway, then please make it clear, what is it to delay for half an hour like this!" ”

"Half an hour later, you should go to the post station, when the time comes, although the post station can not accommodate three hundred people and horses, but it is better than staying in the wild, at least there is hot water to drink, the horses can also be fed enough feed, and after a little adjustment, after the road, the spirit will not wither." Shen Nianyi explained very patiently.

But Que Yingjie's face was white and red, knowing that his foundation was seen through by the other party, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to be vivid, so he smiled and said: "That's Shen Zhengqing's kindness, I'll explain to them that after half an hour, I will stop and repair when I arrive at the post station." ”

When he had already turned around, Shen Nianyi coughed lightly and said, "Captain Que, do you know that this mission is a life of nine deaths?" ”

Que Yingjie's back suddenly stiffened and did not move, he didn't dare to look back, he really didn't dare, and said in a muffled voice: "I know a little bit about it." ”

"Do you know about the three hundred men under your command?" Shen Nianyi then asked.

"I haven't explained it to them yet." On such a chilly night, Que Yingjie felt that the vest was sweating for a while.

"I'm going to do my best to keep the damage to a minimum, and even though I know it's hard, I'm hoping to come with three hundred people and be able to go back with three hundred." Shen Nianyi's tone was very sincere, making the listener feel that he would do what he said, how to say it, how to do it, "However, I need your full cooperation." ”

"What does Shen Zhengqing want me to do?" It's just a basic contest, Que Yingjie has fallen behind, Shen Nianyi said it too bluntly, too directly, nine deaths, three hundred people died nine deaths, do you want him to watch these people around him who are like brothers, and never return, he, he doesn't even dare to think about it.

"I won't order you too much, but I hope that when you reach the border, you and the three hundred light horsemen will be able to obey my orders, even if you think it is unreasonable and unfeasible, you must cooperate."

"So, what if Shen Zhengqing calls us to die?" Que Yingjie's hands gripped the reins tightly, and finally couldn't help but turn his head and make contact with Shen Nianyi's gaze.
