Hidden Sky Light

Chen Xiuyuan returned to the house, and Liu Zijun was already waiting.

Today, the emperor suddenly brought Ziyiwei out to relieve the siege, which really shocked everyone around him.

Liu Zijun is no exception.

Over the years, the emperor has been trying his best to govern, but most of them appear to be diligent and diligent in managing political affairs. Not to mention that in the eyes of others, even he thinks that the emperor is showing slightest.

But when today's purple armored cavalry appears, everyone should be shocked.

This kind of shock is completely different from the embargo and the garrison next to the rescue.

This kind of shock is like the emperor is removing the veil and disguise on his face little by little, revealing the original appearance of the emperor...

And such a purple-clad armored team must not be built in a day or two.

The emperor is also calm enough. In the three years since he ascended the throne, he could not bear to let it go, and only today did he show the trump card in his hand.

Liu Zijun knew that the prince should have never expected it.

Chen Xiu picked up the teacup and tried to be as peaceful as possible, "There must be someone behind Chen Ling who gave her advice. When her grandfather passed away, she didn't have such a purple-clothed guard in her hand. It was a matter of the past three years."

Liu Zijun sighed, "The number of Ziyiwei in the hands of the emperor must be more than the current number. This Ziyiwei is well equipped. I have seen that the war horses should all be war horses on the Baer grassland. If I didn't see it with my own eyes in such a short time, it must be very difficult. Believe me, how did the Son of Heaven do it?"

Chen Xiuyuan put down the tea cup and replied in a low voice, "What is even more powerful is the ability to hide from the sky and the sea. Let Qu Bianying be the commander of the Ziyi Guards to avoid the eyes and ears of the middle school, and build this team under the guise of canceling the garrison in various places. Let others not think about it at all, just say that these numbers of Baal warhorses, want to trade, want to transport to the country, have already attracted attention, have you ever heard half of the news of the country?"

Liu Zijun made a soft "hiss" and took a deep breath, "Yes!"

He really forgot about this, "The war horse will never be given by Barr, who bought it? How? These are all unsolved mysteries. How did the emperor do it?"

Liu Zijun was at a loss.

Chen Xiuyuan got up, put his hands behind his back, and paced slowly in the room, with a slight tick on his lips on his handsome face, "Uncle Liu still remembers that in the first year of Chen Ling's ascension, Nan Shun once sent an envoy. I came here, and it was Xu Jiao, who was the young minister of Honglu Temple at the time of Nanshun."

Liu Zijun had an impression, "My minister remembers that the minister was with the master at the time, and I saw Xu Jiao at the palace banquet. He is not very old, but he has a great mouth. He also heard that he was the favorite minister of Emperor Nanshun Yuan. little."

Speaking of this, Liu Zijun suddenly realized, "The master is saying that the emperor bought this batch of Baal war horses through Nanshun?!"

I have to say that this guess is very bold, but it is indeed possible!

Chen Xiuyuan continued pacing the house, and said, "Namshun is different from the surrounding countries. The commerce and trade in the country is developed, and many large transactions between neighboring countries are done through Namshun. Namshun is between neighboring countries. They have excellent word of mouth, and such word of mouth can avoid trust problems in large transactions. With such a number of war horses, Baal will not easily trade with Yan Han, but Nan Shun can."

Liu Zijun understood, "So the master's meaning is that Xu Jiao came to Yanhan as an envoy in the second year after the emperor ascended the throne, and he discussed the matter with the emperor?"

Chen Xiuyuan nodded.

Liu Zijun sighed, "Namshun and Yanhan do not share borders, they are only friendly countries, not neighbors, so Namshun appeared very rarely in the court's field of vision, and no one would pay attention to Namshun's head. Nan Shun helped the emperor to buy these war horses, and then sent them to Yan Korea in batches in the name of trade, so he didn't realize it... Hey, the emperor's move was really good early in the morning, and it wasn't noticeable at all. , No wonder there hasn't been any rumors in the past three years, it's meticulous everywhere."

Chen Xiuyuan nodded, "Yes, Chen Ling's mind is very meticulous, otherwise he will not be able to hide it for three years..."

Liu Zijun stroked his beard again, "But there is still something unknown to the master and his ministers. Since the emperor is so cautious, Xu Jiao is only the young minister of Honglu Temple in Nanshun. For such a big matter, the emperor dares to be the same as the young master of Honglu Temple. Sir?"

Chen Xiuyuan chuckled, "Uncle Liu, in the final analysis, it is Chen Ling and Emperor Nanshun Yuan, the two kings are talking, Xu Jiao is just the messenger, and the messenger is the close minister beside the emperor. Son of Heaven, would you give such a thing to someone like Shen Ci who gave your life to you, or a person of high authority?"

Liu Zijun opened his mouth.

Chen Xiuyuan also sighed, "Although Xu Jiao is the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, he is the companion of Emperor Yuan when he was in the East Palace. He has been with Emperor Yuan since he was a child. Emperor Yuan can make Xu Jiao go to Yanhan, that is, Xu Jiao can represent Emperor Yuan. Talk to Chen Ling. Uncle Liu, now two or three years have passed, Xu Jiao is no longer the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, but the Zaifu of Nanshun State. You think he cannot be trusted by Emperor Yuan?"

Liu Zijun nodded again.

Chen Xiuyuan tapped the edge of the table with his fingertips, "Shen Ci is the same today. Even at the border, he is the person Chen Ling trusts the most. Do you think what Chen Ling said in public today is nonsense?"

- The person who moved me, have you asked me?

Liu Zijun's eyes were slightly stagnant.

Chen Xiuyuan sneered lightly, "It's always said that Tan Jin underestimated her, and I underestimated her too. Her words spread out, which is to send a signal. The Tan family is conspiring, even if Tan Ming kills his relatives righteously, he can keep half of the Tan family and the Tan family's reputation, but The Tan family's being overthrown is bound to become a foregone conclusion. The huge Tanzhou, there will always be someone watching, who do you think is suitable? Who does, Chen Ling can rest assured?"

Liu Zijun was surprised, "The main family means, the Shen family?"

Chen Xiuyuan stopped at his fingertips, "The late emperor liked Shen Ci very much, so he asked Shen Ci to be Chen Ling's companion, because he wanted to leave Shen Ci to Chen Ling and let Shen Ci be Chen Ling's arm in the future. Therefore, the late emperor The reason to keep suppressing the Shen family is to give Chen Ling the opportunity to open the Shen family as a favor, and to make the Shen family swear allegiance to Chen Ling. But after the Yushan hunting ground, Chen Ling drove Shen Ci out of the East Palace, and the Shen family has been marginalized all these years. Now, with Chen Ling's words, do you think the Shen family will be grateful to the emperor?"

Liu Zijun sighed, "The emperor's ingenuity."

Chen Xiuyuan seemed to be remembering something, his eyes sank slightly, "Shen Ci took his life in exchange."

But Chen Ling is soft-hearted towards Shen Ci, which is not a good thing.

At the end of the day, Liu Zijun asked again, "Master, this time the emperor asked Qu Bianying to be the commander of the Ziyi Guards, does Qu Laoye know?"

Chen Xiuyuan's thoughts were taken back from Shen Ci, "Qu Bianying is the granddaughter of the old man Qu. She grew up on horseback and is not inferior to men. If there is no approval from the old man, how can Qu Bianying go to Ziyiwei? The Qu family? All the men in this generation have taken up the civil service, and Qu Bianying is the granddaughter who is most liked by the old man. Qu Bianying is the commander of the Ziyiwei, and the old man Qu is too happy. This has attracted the Qu family. The entire Ziyiwei belongs to Chen Ling, who is the commander and not the leader, why does Chen Ling not use Qu Bianying?"

Liu Zijun sighed, "Didn't Qu Bianying have a marriage contract with the Prince of Pingnan Hou?"

Chen Xiuyuan shook his head, "I heard Lu Wenchi say that Qu Bianying is not satisfied with this marriage. The commander of Ziyiwei is the emperor's guard, and without the emperor's approval, even if there is a marriage contract, it will not be a marriage. If the emperor does not speak, the marriage contract can only be A piece of paper was placed there, and it was nothing. The Qu family was not satisfied with the marriage, but the Qu Lu family were both wealthy families, so Qu Bianying wanted to use the hand of the emperor to make the matter go away. bright."

Chen Xiuyuan sighed, "These women are more terrifying than each other."

Better stay away.

But let him meet.

***

After Chen Xiuyuan left, Chen Ling talked with Qu Bianying for a long time.

Qu Bianying told Chen Ling about the situation along the road and the situation of Ziyiwei one by one. Originally there was no rebellion against King Tan. Now, Chen Ling should also join Qu Bianying. This is why Chen Ling said to take a day off. In fact, it is necessary to ventilate with the curved edge first.

Chen Ling listened carefully, and then picked out the question and asked in detail.

Qubian Ying solves the puzzles one by one.

Once or twice, time passed quickly, and it was late at night in the blink of an eye.

"Bian Ying, rest early. We'll talk about Tan Jin tomorrow." Chen Ling got up, and Qu Bianying accompanied him.

Now that Chen Ling has Qu Bianying and Ziyiwei beside her, she doesn't need to panic all day as before, but Qu Bianying sees that her face is not very good, "Your Majesty?"

Chen Ling shook his head, "It's okay, I'll go see Ah Nian."

Qu Bianying understood and did not keep up.

Shen Ciyuan was quiet, and there were also guards in Ziyi on duty. When he saw Chen Ling, he bowed his hands, but he didn't make a sound in the middle of the night.

Chen Ling lifted the curtain and entered the inner room. There was only one night light left in the inner room.

When Chen Ling stepped forward, the two people on the bed fell asleep.

A Nian is in the same place with Shen Ci, and should be afraid that he will fall, A Nian sleeps on the inner side, and Shen Ci sleeps on the outer side. It's stable, the father and son are still sleeping together, which means that these days, A Nian has been with Shen Ci all the time.

The father and son were originally hanging statues, and when they slept together, their sleeping posture and demeanor were very similar.

Shen Ci, and Xiao Shen Ci...

Shen Ci must have been extremely tired this day, he took medicine again, and Zi Yiwei was guarding outside, so he slept soundly this night, and he didn't wake up with Chen Ling by his side. When he was on the road earlier, he would wake up at night when the wind and grass moved.

A Nian slept honestly, but it was a little hot in the same place as Shen Ci, and kicked the quilt with her feet, exposing her small belly button; when she came earlier, Shen Ci was only covered with gauze, and now she was wearing a thin layer of clothing.

Both will catch cold.

Chen Ling got up and reached out to hold the quilt on A Nian's side.

Xu Shi noticed someone at this time, and Shen Ci reached out his hand subconsciously, just holding Chen Ling's arm. His hands were heavy, and there were calluses on the tiger's mouth that had been using swords all the time. Chen Lingdun felt the pain and numbness in his arms.

Shen Ci was used to being alert, and just fell asleep after taking the medicine, and was used to being alert again, so once he woke up, he reacted very quickly, especially with Ah Nian around.

When Shen Ci opened his eyes, he just heard Chen Ling's voice, "Shen Zi'an, let go, it hurts..."

Chen Ling did not dare to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing Ziyiwei in the garden.

But there was indeed a bit of crying in his voice. He happened to hold the place where he bit her arm earlier, and Chen Ling's tears almost fell.

Shen Ci also knew his strength. When he closed his hand, he just caught a glimpse of the teeth marks on her arm, and suddenly remembered that when he was seriously injured and comatose, he bit her arm in a daze, here...

He didn't expect the marks to be so deep, since childhood, she was so afraid of hurting someone...

Shen Ci was stunned.

He wanted to ask her if she still hurt, but his heart was pounding like a deer, so he tried his best to lower his voice and asked, "Why is Your Majesty here?"

But just after asking, I remembered that she had said earlier that she would come to see him later.

The back of his ear was slightly red.

Both of them were on the bed, very close to each other. Chen Ling didn't answer him, and said softly, "Just now, Ah Nian kicked the quilt..."

Whether in Quecheng or Yongcun before, A Nian both slept with Shen Ci.

Chen Ling would cover them with quilts at night.

Chen Ling continued, "You lie down too."

Shen Ci did as she did, thinking with a guilty conscience, fortunately at night, the light of the night light was just blocked, and she couldn't see him blushing...

The curtain from earlier today seemed to be still in front of him, and Shen Ci didn't say a word.

Chen Ling covered A Nian with the quilt, and was skilled at picking angles. He couldn't push it off for a while, and when he pushed it away, Shen Ci should also be awake and can take care of it.

After Chen Ling covered Anian, he also put the other side of the thin quilt on top of him.

This action is already intimate.

Especially now.

The angle of Chen Ling sitting by the window just blocked the light of the night light. Shen Ci didn't dare to look at her at this time, and she couldn't see her expression clearly now.

Suddenly, he heard her voice, gentle in the night, "Didn't you have something to ask me before? You ask."

Shen Ci was stunned, remembering that in the carriage that day, he kissed her cheek...

Right now, she was right in front of him, but he just couldn't see her clearly. He wanted to ask a lot. In the current ambiguity, a heart seemed to jump out of his chest.

"Don't ask?" she said warmly.

His voice couldn't help hoarse, "Ask, I want to ask a lot..."

She replied, "Just one question."

Shen Ci: "…"

Chen Ling's fingertips rested lightly on his side, leaning forward slightly, he smelled the familiar smell on her body, the "buzz" in his mind went blank, as if he had forgotten to think, he swallowed softly in his throat, and sighed. He said loudly, "When the fish jumped, were you..."

He wanted to ask if she kissed him...

Before she finished speaking, her palm stroked his cheek, just like when she was in the carriage.

It's just that he was half-dazed at that time, but now, he is fully awake.

She also knew that he was awake.

Shen Ci froze, his breathing seemed to stop.

"Shen Ci, you are obviously very smart, why are you always being stupid?" He didn't react, and when he looked up at her, her voice just brushed his lips, "Shen Zi'an, you asked in vain..."

Heart beating, she closed her eyes and kissed his lips.

—Yes, I kissed you.

If the tall building in Shen Ci's heart collapsed suddenly.
