Chapter 204: Stopped Leaving the City
Shen Yanshu is not surprised, Jingwangfu has a heavy army, although the emperor has deliberately weakened the military power of Jingwangfu over the years, but has not succeeded, and now Daqi is coming, he naturally comes to Jingwangfu, but Jingwangfu is located in the southwest, and there are countries to watch out for on the border, so naturally he can't bring too many soldiers.
She nodded and said, "So what are you going to do?"
Yan Qinghan looked at her, knowing that she had always been smart, so he said, "I will probably go to Liangzhou soon." β
Shen Yanshu's eyes flashed slightly, now that Da Zhou has been emphasizing literature and light on martial arts all these years, it is difficult to find a qualified general, even if he has this talent, he is hesitant because of the affairs of the Zhenbei Army, who can know if he is the next Qi Yi?
Yan Qinghan's consideration has his reason, Shen Yanshu said: "An Ruyi has always been cunning, Yu Wenrui is bent on dealing with Da Zhou, I am afraid that Pei Yao will be powerless, if you want to go to Liangzhou, you can't do it." β
Yan Qinghan said: "It's just that I'm a little worried that you are in Chang'an." β
Shen Yanshu smiled: "You don't have to worry, there are not many people who can move me in Chang'an, you just need to do your thing well." β
Although Shen Yanshu said this, Yan Qinghan still said: "If I go to the frontier, I will definitely not be able to hide the fact that the poison on my body has been resolved, King Yu has always been cautious, and he can't deal with me, but I'm afraid that he will turn his head to deal with you." β
Shen Yanshu knew his worries: "I'm not a good person, how can I deal with it if he says it?" What's more, with the precedent of King Ning being demoted, he doesn't dare to be presumptuous." β
Yan Qinghan looked at her like this, she always seemed to be thoughtful about everything, and she didn't need others to plan more, but he still couldn't help but feel distressed.
He stepped forward and hugged Shen Yanshu tightly in his arms, speechless for a while.
Shen Yanshu leaned in front of his solid chest and felt extremely warm, she didn't know where Yan Qinghan's sudden sentimentality came from, but she really felt his concern for herself.
"In short, everything has me. He spoke.
Shen Yanshu didn't say anything anymore, just hummed softly.
Pei Yao, the prince of King Jing's Mansion, went to support Liangzhou, and King Jing went to Liangzhou with his brother Pei Yao in order to train Pei Xuan, the twelve-year-old third son of King Jing's Mansion, and King Jing's Mansion left only King Jing and Lord Yining at this time, as well as the princess of King Jing, Qiao Ruolan.
In the southwest, there are small countries such as Nanzhao, but they have been intimidated by the forces of Jingwangfu over the years, but they dare not move.
King Jing was their nightmare back then, but now he has lost a leg, and he is still the evil wolf who kills people without blinking.
Yan Qinghan has been very busy these days, and Shen Yanshu is naturally not idle.
Since she went to the prison, the queen committed suicide in the prison that night, and then King Ning was exiled, and King Ning, who was already a commoner, was unwilling to decline, and wanted to convene the old department, but was directly taken down by King An's people, and in the melee King Ning Yanxiao was killed, and King Yu joined King An.
As King Yu said, even if Yan Xiao has become a commoner, he is also a brother of flesh and blood, and King An's move is really chilling.
King An is not convinced, then Yan Xiao wants to build momentum again, it will become a big disaster, since the emperor has degraded him, he can't have these rights, if it causes a riot, it can only be the people who are injured, and the tiger is a problem!
The two quarreled in the court, which made the emperor even more upset, and he felt more and more that the two sons were uneasy.
However, these have nothing to do with Shen Yanshu, all she cares about is the Xiao family and Jiang Wu returning to Jiangnan.
Princess Zhaojun and King Zhaojun accepted Xiyan as a righteous daughter, changed her original name to Chen Yanxi, and married her daughter to the Xiao family.
Xiao Lu happened to be in Chang'an, and seeing that the two were in love, they agreed to this family affair, and Princess Zhaojun prepared a dowry for Chen Yanxi, so she was sent to the road to Jiangnan.
Shen Yanshu and Princess Zhaojun sent the people of the Xiao family out of the city gate.
After saying goodbye to them, the Xiao family was about to leave for Jiangnan, but they just boarded the carriage, but they saw a group of horseback soldiers galloping out of the city gate, and they came towards the Xiao family in a fierce manner, directly surrounding everyone in the Xiao family.
A cloud of dust kicked up all around.
Shen Yanshu's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.
The leader was Wan Quji, the commander of the Ouchi guards, and Shen Yanshu recognized it at a glance.
The people of the Xiao family watched as so many soldiers surrounded their chariots and horses, and the guards all drew their knives to defend them.
Wan Qu Jile immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly: "We are the inner guards of the imperial palace, and we have been ordered to investigate you. We suspect the fugitives who are going to accompany you in your group!"
When Xiao Yan heard this, she said angrily: "These are all people brought by our Xiao family, how can there be any fugitives!"
Wan Qujian still had a tense face and glanced at the group.
Princess Zhaojun stepped forward and asked, "Commander Wan, what are you doing here?"
Wan Qu dismounted and saluted Princess Zhaojun and Shen Yanshu.
"The princess of the county and the princess of Ling, they have official duties, and they suspect that there are assassins in this group who entered the palace last night, and they all plan to check and check. β
Princess Zhaojun looked at him with such an unchanged face, and snorted coldly in her heart, she didn't follow her own footsteps, she probably found out Chen Yanxi's identity, and felt that Jiang Yan would also be with Chen Yanxi.
Shen Yanshu was puzzled and asked, "Has Commander Wan seen what that assassin looks like?"
"It's two female assassins, and as for what they look like, I can't reveal what they look like. Wan Quji said.
Princess Zhaojun and Shen Yanshu glanced at each other, naturally knowing that he was talking about Jiang Wu and Mama Fang.
"It seems that the palace is not strictly guarded, and it has allowed two female assassins to escape, and the female assassins have always been extremely martial arts. Shen Yanshu said something casually, which made Wan Quji's face change.
Xiao Lu got out of the carriage, asked his guards to put down their swords, and stepped forward and said, "This lord, these are all people from our Xiao family, there must be no assassins." β
Xiao Nansheng said: "Since they don't believe it, let them check." β
Wan Qu was not verbose, and directly asked the guards to come forward to search.
Not only did the carriage search, but even the boxes were opened and checked one by one, but they didn't find the slightest trace of Jiang Wu and Mama Fang.
"Back to the Commander, we only found one suspicious person. One of the guards stepped forward and said.
Wan Qu quickly turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "Oh, bring it up!"
The two guards brought Chen Yanxi directly forward, Chen Yanxi looked up at Wan Quji, but did not speak.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is General Chen Yi's daughter Chen Yanxi, right?" Wan Quji narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Chen Yanxi.
Chen Yanxi said coldly: "Commander Wan didn't admit his mistake, it's me." What's the matter, Commander Wan is trying to arrest me back?"
Wan Qu quickly turned his head to look at the other people, the Xiao family brought more than 30 people, but it was not much, you can see it all at a glance, twenty guards, and the rest are maids, and the maids only have the two personal maids brought by Xiao Yan and a wedding maid who takes care of Chen Yanxi, or they came out of the Zhaojun Palace.
There is just no Jiang Wu and Mama Fang.
Wan Quji said: "The emperor has rehabilitated the Zhenbei Army, Miss Chen is now free, Wan Mou doesn't dare to arrest it, it's just ......"
Xiao Nansheng stepped forward and said: "She is my fiancΓ©e, if this adult has something, just look for me, don't embarrass a woman!"
Wan Qu said, "Don't worry, I just want to know where Miss Chen is these days?"
"On my house. Princess Zhaojun said, "She has always been the maid in my house, I saw that she was pitiful, so I accepted her as a righteous daughter, what else does Commander Wan have to ask?"
Her voice sank, with a hint of coldness in her tone, and she looked at Wan Quji with some impatience.
Judging the two of them with the gentle Princess Zhaojun on weekdays, they are obviously already angry.
King Zhaojun has a deep relationship with the emperor, and has always been trusted by the emperor, if he angers the princess of Zhaojun, he is afraid that King Zhaojun, the favorite wife, will come to him for trouble.
After checking again and still finding nothing, Wan Qujian said slowly: "Release!"
The inner guards gave way one after another, and Xiao Lu looked at Shen Yanshu, and then led them on the journey again.
Watching them drift away and finally disappear from sight, Shen Yanshu and Princess Zhaojun finally came back to their senses.
Shen Yanshu turned his head to meet Wan Quji's gaze.
She knew he was watching her.
"Excuse me, then we'll go first. Wan Qu bowed his hand, and as he spoke, he turned on his horse, intending to return to the city with the soldiers and horses.
Shen Yanshu stood still, turned his head and said to Princess Zhaojun, "Let's go back too." β
The two of them walked towards the sedan chair not far away, and suddenly Wan Qu on the side quickly pulled out the accessories on his waist and stabbed straight towards Shen Yanshu! The sword in the sun reflected a dazzling light, Shen Yanshu shook his eyes and slipped under his feet, exclaimed, and fell backwards.
Wan Quji originally just wanted to spy on Shen Yanshu's martial arts, he always felt that this Princess Ling seemed too weird, but he didn't expect that he was originally just a tentative move, if Shen Yanshu had martial arts, he would avoid it, and if she didn't have martial arts, he could stop in time.
But he never expected that Shen Yanshu's feet would slip and fall to his sword!
He was shocked, and hurriedly took back the sword in his hand, but the sword body was too sharp, and it directly stabbed Shen Yanshu's arm lightly, and then opened a small opening, cutting the clothes on his shoulder.
"Ahh
Princess Zhaojun, who was on the side, looked at this scene in surprise, hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, raised her head and said angrily: "Presumptuous! It's just a small internal commander who dares to assassinate the princess!"
Shen Yanshu covered her arm, and after a while, she saw that the clothes on her arm were soaked in red blood.
Wan Qu hurriedly dismounted, knelt on half a knee, hugged his fists and said: "Damn it, I missed and injured the princess for a while!"
Shen Yanshu bit his lip and glanced at Wan Quji: "Isn't it that Commander Wan feels that this princess looks like an assassin?"
"Don't dare!"
"Commander Wan is really dutiful. Princess Zhaojun snorted coldly, glared at him, and helped Shen Yanshu to get straight into the carriage and head towards the city.
Wan Quji stood in place, watching their carriage enter the city, and his mind was still replaying Shen Yanshu's actions just now.
She did fall because of her slippery feet, but how could it be at this time?
His eyes became dark, but he couldn't explain it, so he could only take his subordinates back to the palace, this time he found nothing, and the emperor should have been furious again.
