Hidden Sky Light

For two consecutive days, Shen Ci went to see Chen Ling.

But have not seen.

Chen Ling was with Bai Jin most of the time. Once Harmiya died, there was a mess in the west that needed to be cleaned up. If handled carelessly, he would point the finger at Yan Han, giving the tribes of Xirong a chance to challenge.

Qu Bianying is fine in private, but now is a sensitive time, so the general should not show his face.

The patrols and alerts at the border have been stepped up in the past two days, and the public opinion in the city towards Xirong has gradually become tense.

The more and more Shen Ci understood what Chen Ling told her, it was not that simple.

Yanhan's geographical location is special, and once the news spreads, all parties will be ready to move. The news has not spread so fast at the moment, and it must be handled properly at the beginning to avoid more disturbances.

And Shen Ci can almost imagine that even if this matter is handled properly, the remonstrance of Yan Guan will go to Chen Ling in batches.

After Qu Bianying mentioned it, Shen Ci did not come to Chen Ling again for three or two days.

Military affairs in the army are busy, and he will be distracted from time to time.

Originally, Chen Ling was supposed to leave for Huishan.

It should be all messed up by now.

On the evening of the third day, Shen Ci still went outside the mansion, "Yunchi, I want to see Your Majesty."

Yunchi looked at him, wondering, "General, Your Majesty really rested."

Shen Ci looked at him.

Yunchi said again, "Your Majesty has had a headache for the past two days, and he rested very early. The next day, most of them will be at the Cang Yue East Palace. If General Shen has something to tell His Majesty, please tell me, General."

Except for Qishan, Yunchi has always been by Chen Ling's side. When in the palace, Yunchi also knew that he would not stop him from entering and leaving the emperor's bedroom, but now Yunchi will stop him, and Shen Ci's heart is clear.

"It's nothing, just tell Your Majesty, I'll be here." Shen Ci said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, General." Yunchi handed over.

Shen Ci thanked him and turned around.

Looking at Shen Ci's back, Yun Chi sighed softly, His Majesty really rested, except that he was with Cang Yue East Palace these few days, he was just looking at the topographic map around Yan Han Tong, forgetting to eat and sleep. He only glanced at it when he was serving tea, and when he saw that the emperor had several piles of handwritings, as well as the densely packed topographical map, just now, His Majesty really stopped.

***

On the fourth day, Chen Ling finally saw what Bai Jin said, "Another person."

Chen Ling looked at the person with the hood in the side hall. He was neither tall nor burly, but when the hood was taken off, a pair of blue eyes were revealed, and Chen Ling was slightly stunned.

The blue eyes are almost the characteristics of the Qiang Asians, and the people in front of them are beautiful, most of the Qiang Asians are born with deep outlines, and they are handsome, are the Qiang Asians in front of them?

But soon, Chen Ling frowned slightly again, and the man with blue eyes in front of him still looked a bit like Harmiya...

Chen Ling looked at Bai Jin.

The blue-eyed man stepped forward and saluted Bo Jin and Chen Ling, "Halmia has seen His Highness, Your Majesty."

Both Chen Ling and Qu Bianying's expressions changed slightly.

Only Bai Jin looked as usual.

The other party continued, "Your Majesty, I have caused trouble for Yanhan, and the clan also complained about the eldest brother's deeds. I originally wanted me to bring the eldest brother back. Right now, the eldest brother is in trouble in Yanhan, which attracts the army and the people. Dissatisfied, I had a conflict with General Shen and lost my life, and the responsibility lies with me, Xirong. But after all, the eldest brother is Shanyu, please allow me to take the corpse of the eldest brother to the clan for disposal. "

When the other party bowed his head, Chen Ling looked at Bo Jin.

Bo Jin nodded towards her.

Chen Ling understood, although he did not know what role Bo Jin played in it, but Bo Jin represented Cang Yue. Bo Jin endorsed in front of the Xirong Puyi tribe, and the cause of Harmiya's death had been finalized - provoking Yan Han, Blame yourself.

Bo Jin wants to promote the tripartite cooperation, and now it is a turning point.

Chen Ling also pushed the boat smoothly.

"Who are you?" Chen Ling hesitated.

The other party looked up, "Halmia."

Chen Ling glanced at him more, and Harmiya said, "Halmia is the surname, my elder brother and I are half-brothers, and the leaders of the Xirong clan are called by their surnames. , I am Harmia."

Chen Ling suddenly understood why the other party would leave Yan Han's responsibility clear. Only in this way can he pass his brother's children to inherit the leader of the Puyi tribe, and even secure the position of several tribes.

Sure enough, Harmiya said, "I don't blame Yanhan for this matter. Your Highness has already informed me about what the eldest brother did in Yanhan. Now that the eldest brother was killed by the garrison, it was his own fault. It was my duty to almost provoke a dispute. The original intention of the clan is that the Puyi tribe and the tribal alliances in the west are all willing to make friends with Yanhan."

The corner of Harmiya's mouth ticked slightly, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, all the tribes in our clan are unwilling to fight with Yan and Han. Taking this opportunity, it is better for the three parties to conclude an alliance and not fight."

After Harmiya finished speaking, his eyes turned to Bai Jin and Chen Ling in turn, Bo Jin and Chen Ling looked at each other, and finally his eyes fell on Harmiya again.

...

When Sheng Wenyu sent Harmiya away, he happened to meet Grape at the corner.

Grape accidentally bumped into Harmia.

Although Harmia was not tall, she directly knocked the grapes away, her eyes narrowed slightly, her skills were very good, and her physique was very good, probably not inferior to the previous Harmia.

Grapes hurt.

Harmia stepped forward and reached out to support him, "Be careful."

Grape looked at those azure blue eyes with a smile, and there was something strange in Grape's heart.

I don't know if it's an illusion. When I bumped into him just now, there was a hostility in the other party's eyes, but now, it's kind.

Grapes have indescribable violations in them.

In particular, Harmiya didn't like people bumping into him, but she only smiled when she saw that Grape was the guard beside Bo Jin.

When returning to the garden, Grape was still rubbing his chest.

"What's wrong?" Bai Jin glanced at him.

Grape's face was not very good-looking, "I just bumped into the blue-eyed Harmiya, it hurts."

Yumu said quietly, "Come here."

Grape stepped forward, Yumu reached out and touched his chest and back, Grape itchy, "Don't take the opportunity to touch me."

Elm glared at him.

Grape mouth.

Yumu said, "I'm injured, this Harmiya is not simple, and his skills may not be worse than his elder brother."

"Huh?" Grape was surprised.

Yumu thought he was noisy, with anger in his eyes, Grape shut up.

Bai Jin said leisurely, "Is he worse than his eldest brother, and he is much smarter than his eldest brother, his eldest brother is the leader of the tribe and Shanyu, compared with the Puluo tribe, his eldest brother has children, and with the various tribes alliances, He will only follow people who are convincing. He originally had no contact with both sides. But as long as he believes that his eldest brother died in Yan Han because of his own fault, Yan Han and Cang Yue both had bad relations with his eldest brother. His appearance turned the tide and the three parties concluded a contract. He is a hero who deserves his name after making the covenant, in the clan and in the tribal alliance."

"Oh~" Grape was surprised, "The mind of this!"

Bai Jin continued, "He is still very smart, he knows that Emperor Heng defends Shen Ci, so he straightens up Shen Ci's relationship. Such a person knows the balance of interests well, and he knows how to judge the situation. He is more suitable than his eldest brother. s position."

Yumu said, "Earlier Harmia was arrogant and arrogant, and he made many enemies in the Xirong family. He was in the position, and Xirong was also willing."

Grape sighed, "This is so cunning."

Yumu said, "There is no distinction between right and wrong, only the position is different, but if you take a wrong step carelessly, you will be the same as the previous Harmiya, and you will become a dead soul under the knife."

Grape tutted and sighed, "Lord Yumu, how come you are the dead souls of the sword!"

Yumu ignored him.

"His Royal Highness, the matter between Yan Han and Xi Rong has come to an end for the time being, but they are going back to Cang Yue?" Yumu looked at Bai Jin.

Hearing that he was going back, Grape was happy.

Bai Jin said, "Go back, Yumu, Barr has not been very peaceful recently, go to the border for me, let the garrison be martial law, and prepare for war at any time."

Grape didn't understand, "Your Highness, isn't the cold winter all over?"

Bai Jin looked at him and said, "Yes, it is because the wind and waves were calm throughout the cold winter, so there must be dark tides brewing, and great events are brewing. After a long period of time, we must divide, and after a long period of time, we must join together. Maybe Baal is about to change. After the incident with Baal is over, we will go to the south. Take a look at the Eight Cities along the Riverside."

Grape sighed, "Namshun, it's so hot..."

Yumu frowned, "You are so noisy."

Grape said again, "Lord Yumu, let me see the face under your mask~"

Yumu replied, "Apart from His Highness, everyone who has seen my face is dead, do you want to see it?"

The grapes trembled.

Bai Jin couldn't help but laugh.

...

"His Royal Highness, I will send it here." Chen Ling and Bai Jin went outside the city side by side.

The Xirong affair is over, and the face-to-face meeting between Chen Ling and Bai Jin will also come to an end.

Bai Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please stay."

Chen Ling nodded.

Bai Jin said, "Good things take a long time to come, and the Xirong incident may not be a bad thing right now, but in any case, Cang Yue is willing to work with Yan Han."

Chen Ling looked at him.

Bai Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the agreement between Cang Yue and Yan Han about Baal is still valid."

Chen Ling also laughed, "Bai Jin, I actually don't understand why you're taking so much trouble."

Bai Jin replied, "Chen Ling, there are many things that can be done outside the war. If you look further afield, there may be a different answer."

Chen Ling looked at him.

Bai Jin nodded, "Your Majesty, farewell now."

Chen Ling nodded, "See you next time."

Bai Jin smiled like a breeze, "Perhaps it will be very soon."

"Shao Feng, take your Highness for me." Chen Ling instructed.

Sheng Wenyu cupped his hands, "Yes."

"There is Marquis Lao Jianping." Bai Jin lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.

Watching the carriage drive away slowly, and finally disappearing at the end, Chen Ling said, "Let's go."

***

Xue Chao was buried on the top of the hill looking towards the grassland in the distance. Today, Han Guan, together with Guo Zixiao, built another small tomb next to Xue Chao's tomb.

Xiao Wu likes to be with Xue Chao the most on weekdays, and now, he should also be willing to be with Xue Chao.

I didn't bring anything next to me, only the dagger in my hand.

Shen Ci held it in his hand as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold.

"Bury here first, and tell Aunt Feng when things are over now." Guo Zixiao said in a deep voice.

Shen Ci nodded.

Han Guan squatted down, "Little Wu, let's go."

Han Guan also poured wine.

Shen Ci slowly put the dagger into the coffin, his eyes slightly red.

"General, cover the coffin." Guo Zixiao reminded.

Shen Ci nodded.

Shen Ci got up, the garrison beside Hanguan, Guo Zixiao closed the coffin together, the rosy tip of Shen Ci's nose did not fade, and another horse came, "General, the border is urgent."

Everyone knows that Xiao Wu is under the coffin today, if it is not for the urgent letter, he will not come here at this time.

Shen Ci took it, it was a secret letter.

There will be spies going to Xirong in the garrison, and secret letters will be sent back, all of which will change hands and then change hands. When Shen Ci opened it, the palm of his hand was slightly stagnant. Five can be written.

The scene where he kept saying that he didn't practice his calligraphy well came to mind, and now, his eyes were even more red.

Xiao Wu has been following him, feeling like siblings.

In Fuyang County, it was Xiao Wu who carried him back to Chen Ling.

If it weren't for Xiao Wu, he would have died under Lou Chi's hands long ago, so when he heard that Xiao Wu was cut off by Harmiya and his head was finally put down, he and Han Guan's emotions would be out of control.

Right now, just today, when Xiao Wu left the coffin, he received another letter from Xiao Wu earlier.

Shen Ci's sadness came from it.

It takes a long time to send the letter back. Xiao Wu was still alive when he wrote this letter. At the moment, only the dagger and the clothes from the army earlier were buried in the tomb.

"General?" Han Guan was stunned when he saw Shen Ci.

"Xiao Wu's letter." Shen Ci opened it.

-General, don't scold me, I'm doing something stupid...

Seeing this, it's like Xiao Wuyi's tone of admitting mistakes, lifelike, and it's right in front of him. Shen Ci hid it well just now, but now his eyes were red again, and he continued on.

——My dagger was lost, it seems to have been stolen, and I can't find it...

Shen Ci petrochemical.

"General?" Han Guan and Guo Zixiao saw his strange expressions.

Shen Ci's expression was indeed complicated and strange, and his eyes were rejoicing, like the rest of his life, Xiao Wu's dagger was lost, that means Xiao Wu was still alive; but at the same time, Shen Ci's brows were wrinkled again, thinking of the guard next to Harmiya that day. .

——We cut off his hands and feet, and finally cut off his head!

Shen Ci's fingertips trembled slightly, Xiao Wu didn't die, the other party lied.

More and more information is pouring in.

——You deliberately made people garrison provocation, forced the personal guards around me to do something, and then hurt the people of Licheng. You want my life, you deliberately did these actions behind your back, and then framed me, Shen Ci, you The Yanhan people are nothing more than Xiao Xiao! Ants! bed bugs!

Shen Ci frowned.

Harmia did say so, and he also found it strange that Harmia had no position to kill people in Licheng at this time. Harmia also said that people ran away before him.

At that time, if the guards behind Harmiya suddenly drew their swords and stepped forward, shouted to protect Shanyu, and smashed and fought with this group of Yan Han, the situation at that time would not have been suddenly chaotic, and they all drew their swords, and chaos In the middle, there were also people who slammed into the garrison, and the crowd was excited, shouting to kill the Xirong people, and the situation was further chaotic!

In the end, he and Harmia fought to one place in the chaos, and it was also the guard who dropped Xiao Wu's dagger from his sleeve, saying that Xiao Wu was cut off by Harmiya and his feet, and finally... Finally, he was red Look, kill Harmia!

fake?

Shen Ci suddenly realized that every step just happened to be such a coincidence, whether it was a guard, a dagger, or the instigated public anger, it just happened to be such a coincidence!

Coincidentally, he clearly realized that there was a problem at the time, and he clearly remembered that Chen Ling repeatedly told him that this matter was not that simple, so be patient, he still killed Harmia...

Would he still kill Harmia if there was no such thing as Xiao Wu?

Cold sweat broke out from behind Shen Ci, and his heart was cold.

Counted!

Shen Ci clenched his fingertips.

Another garrison rode forward, "General!"

Shen Ci turned his eyes, "What's wrong?"

The garrison dismounted, "General, General Qu let me tell the general that His Majesty has left Licheng."

A Ling?

A trace of panic flashed in Shen Ci's eyes, "When did it happen?"

Garrison Road, "In the morning..."

For a moment, Shen Ci was at a loss, but soon jumped on his horse and headed for the city gate.

"General, general!" Han Guan didn't know what happened, Guo Zixiao picked up the letter on the ground, and the whole person froze.

Shen Ci beat his horse and whipped all the way, and galloped away, but he knew that people had already left and couldn't catch up. If he wanted to know, he would not leave in the morning, and the news was sent to him before noon.

But he still galloped all the way to the North City Gate, and there was no one at the North City Gate.

Shen Ci seemed to be suffocating.

——You did everything right, from your position, you did what you were supposed to do, and you did nothing wrong... Go back first, you are still injured, the army is still waiting for you, and I will also pay you back. There are other things to talk about later. Listen and go.

——General, Your Majesty really rested.

——You have never considered things from the standpoint of the emperor. She was afraid that Harmia was a thorn in your heart, and she came forward to pull Harmia into the water, just to pluck you out! She takes care of you everywhere! Did you take care of her? You are used to the East Palace, you go to show off, she will clean up the mess for you! Do you really not know? You are relying on the Son of Heaven's connivance, preference, and fearlessness for you.

A Ling...

Shen Ci's sadness came from it.

——Chen Ling likes Shen Ci the most, how much I like it, how much I like it...

***

On the carriage, Chen Ling leaned against a corner.

——His Majesty thought that Shen Ci did the right thing earlier, because of his trust in Shen Ci, so he would stand by Shen Ci. If it wasn't for the emperor's close ministers, who lent the courage to others, who would dare to do this in the forbidden army? As a monarch, once he is biased, how can he convince his courtiers? Or did the courtiers follow suit?

——Since he is a close minister of the emperor, he should know the importance and not easily put the emperor at the cusp of the storm.

The wheels rolled forward, and Chen Ling stared blankly at one place.

She and Shen Ci should be calm.
