Hidden Sky Light

Such speculation made Shen Ci feel surprised...

But at the border of Licheng, he had dealt with many Xirong people, especially the Xirong people on horseback.

This feeling can't be wrong.

Shen Ci had met Tan Jin earlier in the court, but at that time Tan Jin mostly concealed his edge.

Although there is also Tanzhou garrison in hand, but it has been far away from the northern battlefield for many years, even if it looks proud, but it is not overwhelming.

But the Yucheng time, Tan Jin didn't hide it, so he showed his sharp-edgedness - that kind of sharp-edgedness brought the fierceness and suffocation on the battlefield.

That's what's in the blood.

If it hadn't been deliberately restrained on weekdays, it wouldn't have been hidden so deeply.

Tan Jin was originally from Xirong?

Or, is there the blood of Xirong people on his body?

Shen Ci was also unsure in his heart.

But today's events did set off a storm in his heart...

"General?" Several people in Han Guan saw the subtle changes in the expression on his face. In a short period of time, several changes in expression appeared one after another, and they were all very fast, even fleeting.

When Han Guan called him, Shen Ci also came back from his thoughts and continued to ask, "Afterwards, where did these Xirong people go?"

Shen Ci knew very well that if these Xirong people came because of Chen Xian and no one was found, these Xirong people should not give up.

Moreover, Lou Chi was killed by him, and Tan Guangsi was chased by Chen Xiuyuan first, and then chased them back, so he didn't have time to take care of those Xirong people.

During that time, where did these Xirong people go?

What are you doing?

Also, according to what Han Guan and Zixiao just said, these Xirong people should also not understand what Tan Guangsi and Lou Chi are doing, at least explain one point, or they have not really trusted each other, so they have reservations; or...

Shen Ci's eyes narrowed slightly, and these Xirong people were actually not on the right track with Tan Jin. It's just that Tan Jin has a handle on them, so he has to follow the yin and the yin...

Shen Ci looked at Han Guan, and Han Guan continued, "At that time, Zixiao and I felt that this matter was very suspicious, and I was afraid that we would catch up with the general as soon as possible and tell the general about the matter, so we still discussed it, and I brought Fang mama to **** him first. General and Your Majesty, Zixiao continued to follow them to see if they could find any clues, but a strange thing happened, these people suddenly disappeared out of thin air overnight."

Disappeared out of thin air?

Not only Shen Ci, but Xue Chao and Xiao Wu were stunned.

Guo Zixiao nodded, "Yes, Lao Han is right, these fifty Xirong people just disappeared overnight, we didn't notice it at all, and..."

Guo Zixiao stopped talking.

"And what?" Shen Ci frowned.

After Guo Zixiao and Han Guan looked at each other, Guo Zixiao continued, "Furthermore, Lao Han and I found out that we should all be drugged, so we didn't notice the movement that night, otherwise the fifty people would have to leave, and the two of us would have to leave. How can it be possible when everyone is alert?"

Han Guan also said, "Not only that, the other party didn't even search our body, and then took advantage of this time to leave and disappear. There is no clue, and I don't know where we went. Zixiao and I are very strange and simple. I've inquired about it, but there's really no trace, that's what's weird."

Guo Zixiao also nodded, "Accordingly, the people of Xirong hate us and the generals to the bone. If they found out that it was me and Han Guan, they would have cut their heads and removed their heads. How could they be so peaceful, so we can't figure it out."

Speaking of this, it is really doubtful.

Slowly, I felt that Tan Wang's rebellion was just the tip of the iceberg. With the appearance of this group of Xirong people, it seemed that more doubts gradually surfaced, far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Shen Ci lowered his eyes, many things were spinning in his mind.

Xue Chao asked, "No, it's the same thing for General Han and General Guo to be drugged, but how did they get drugged?"

Han Guan and Guo Zixiao are used to being cautious because they often come and go in and out of Xirong. At the same time, it is not easy for the two of them to speak together.

Xiao Wu also reacted, "Yes! It shouldn't be!"

Shen Ci also looked at the two of them, "Who else is there?"

The two looked at each other, shook their heads again, and Han Guan said, "There is no one around except for Mama Fang, but it must not be Mama Fang. We have been with Mama Fang all the way, and Mama Fang is not like that. The two of us In fact, I am at a loss as to how to get the medicine... But after that night, I did not see those Xirong people again."

Guo Zixiao also said, "Then I heard the wind and knew that King Jingping and General should go to Liaocheng, so we caught up all the way, but because there were few people and garrisoned troops were chasing in this direction, to be on the safe side, we could only circle around. Yes, it can avoid the garrison and catch up to the general faster."

Xiao Wu scratched his head, "Then you are not too fast?"

Han Guan gave him an annoyed look.

So is Guo Zixiao.

Xiao Wu quickly fell silent.

Guo Zixiao said, "It seems that the general is using troops and is running around with Tan Guangsi's people, so the more you chase, the more you can't catch up, and there is a chance that you will run into Tan Guangsi's people; if we are unlucky, we will really find the general. Maybe Tan Guangsi's people will be brought, so we want to watch it for two days, and then we will bring it up after confirming stability and confirming the general's route."

Xiao Wu sighed, "That should also be pushed up, it will be seven or eight days after it settles down!"

The two didn't look at Xiao Wu this time angrily, but turned to look at Shen Ci, Shen Ci almost guessed it, and still listened to Han Guan, "We met those Xirong people again, they should not have thought that we would come around. I went and went around to the same place with them again, and this time, Zixiao and I both paid more attention. I was in the same place with Mammy Fang, and Zixiao went to investigate alone. However, I heard a name, the leader of the more than fifty Shiron people, named Harmia."

Harmia?

This surname and name are rare in Xirong, and Shen Ci seems to have a vague impression, but it doesn't match the number.

They went in and out of Shijon from time to time, but there was no Harmia in the neighboring Shijon tribe.

Guo Zixiao also said, "General, do you still remember when we touched the Dao tribe in Xirong earlier?"

Shen Ci nodded, "Remember."

Guo Zixiao said, "The general may not remember, we heard this name when we were in the Dao tribe."

Shen Ci frowned, he vaguely remembered the name, but he didn't know where he heard it, but Zixiao remembered it?

Guo Zixiao continued, "At that time, the identities of several of us were almost discovered by the people of the Dao tribe, but because we kept our minds at the time and spoke Xirong dialect, they mistakenly thought we were from other tribes, so they blurted out a sentence, you are ha People from Ermia? At that time, the general had an idea and said yes, but his mind should not be on it, so he can't remember it, but the last general just happened to remember."

Yes, there is such a thing.

Shen Ci suddenly remembered that the other party exclaimed, you are from Harmia!

But at that time, the situation was critical, and he didn't think too much about it, but he did have such a name.

Later, when An Wen returned from the Dao tribe, he didn't pay attention to the name anymore, but Zixiao remembered it.

At the very least, this Harmia was the one who feared the Dao tribe.

There are many Xirong tribes, who else can Xirong people be taboo?

Only other tribes.

Shen Ci seemed to remember something, "You said just now that the first time you heard Xi Rong's words from them, it was really bad luck. Someone ran away, so you need to notify Shanyu in time?"

Han Guan and Guo Zixiao nodded, "Yes."

Shen Ci said solemnly, "Then this Harmiya is the leader of one of the tribes of Xirong, that is, their Shanyu."

"But..." Han Guan was surprised, "Chan Yu from a tribe will come to Yanhan in person?"

Guo Zixiao was also surprised.

Shen Ci slowly opened his eyes, "He is either a person with great ambitions, or a person with an extremely conceited person, and he will feel that if he enters and exits Yanhan, he enters a no-man's land."

Han Guan and several people were silent.

Seriously terrified.

Shen Ci continued, "This group of Xirong people must be related to Tan Jin, but I can't figure out more details. Among the people who came is Harmiya, the leader of a tribe, Xue Chao, find a way to find out, ha Which tribe is Ermia the leader of?"

"Yes!" Xue Chao responded.

There are at least thirty or forty tribes in Xirong, and the ones they have had a lot of contact with are the Xirong tribe in the east. If they continue inward, there are also Xirong tribes in the west. It's not clear that it's normal. These tribes fight all year round. Sometimes one tribe rises and another tribe perishes, and the changes are very fast.

Shen Ci said to Han Guan again, "Han Guan, you are going back to Licheng today. There is such a big movement in Huaicheng, and now there are Xirong people haunting, Licheng is very careful, for fear of problems."

"Yes!" Han Guan took the order.

Shen Ci looked at Xiao Wu again, "Xiao Wu, go to His Majesty's place and tell His Majesty all the things that he just said, so that His Majesty knows."

"Oh~" Xiao Wu responded.

"Also." Shen Ci urged, "except Your Majesty, don't tell anyone about this matter. Since you are clear, don't tell anyone. This time a word leaked will be dealt with by military sticks."

Xiao Wu quickly drooped the corners of his mouth and said nothing.

Shen Ci finally said, "Zixiao, you and me, go to Qucheng first. There must be some clues in Qucheng, where should we spend more time."

"Yes!" Guo Zixiao cupped his hands.

After several people dispersed, Shen Ci also left the room.

There was still a doubt in my heart that I didn't say before - the appearance of these Xirong people faintly connected two things that were not related before...

The first one was the Huaicheng Rebellion.

The second is that he left the border gate of Licheng and returned to Pingnan to visit his aunt.

And Pingnan is around Fuyang County...

Shen Ci clenched his palms tightly, this was what made him feel wrong.

***

In the garden, Mother Fang was also with A Nian.

But A Nian didn't cry anymore. She should be very happy to see Fang Mama. She wanted Fang Mama to hold her and was unwilling to let go.

At the official residence, only Mama Fang has been following Anian all the time. Whether it is Qi Shan or Shen Ci, it is not as long as Mama Fang takes care of A Nian, nor is it as familiar as Mama Fang and A Nian.

Just in time, when Momma Fang saw Shen Ci coming forward, she said to Anian, "His Royal Highness, this old slave greets General Shen first."

Anian nodded wisely.

Mama Fang put him down, and he didn't keep looking at Mama Fang.

On the way, Mother Fang knew that General Shen was with His Highness. Although she knew that General Shen was with His Majesty all the way, Mammy Fang was already a little uneasy, but she heard that His Majesty entrusted His Highness to General Shen to take care of her. Jumping like a deer.

And now even more.

General Shen was a companion to the East Palace earlier, and Mammy Fang was waiting by His Majesty's side. Mammy Fang was already familiar with both General Shen and His Highness.

At first glance, I felt that their father and son were more alike than I imagined.

Others may be fine, but Momo Fang has a guilty conscience at a glance.

"The old slave has seen General Shen." Fang Momo tried her best to remain calm.

Shen Ci stepped forward and said, "Mother Fang has been very polite. We haven't seen you for a few years. Mama Fang is still the same as before, and has not changed."

Mommy Fang smiled, "It's the general who is getting more and more excited."

Shen Ci also smiled and said warmly, "Your Majesty will go first, let me take His Highness, detour from Liaocheng back to Pingnan, and then reconcile with His Majesty after stability. This journey may take more than a month, and Mammy Fang came just in time. , Your Highness is just thinking of Mommy Fang."

Madam Fang nodded, "Your Majesty should be worried about His Highness's safety. This road is very dangerous, and it was easy to settle down. Even if I wanted to come, I didn't want His Highness to take risks, so I asked the General to go with His Highness to Pingnan County."

Shen Ci glanced at Mama Fang, knowing that Mama Fang had reservations in her eyes and didn't say anything else.

It happened just now that Han Guan and Guo Zixiao were talking about Xirong. He wanted to go to Qucheng as soon as possible, so he said to Mommy Fang, "I would like to trouble Mommy Fang to take care of His Highness first. I am suitable for something with General Chi."

"Okay." Mommy Fang responded.

A Nian looked at Shen Ci, "Uncle Shen?"

Shen Ci squatted down and said gently, "His Royal Highness will stay with Momo Fang first, and come to find Her Highness later."

A Nian smiled and nodded.

Mommy Fang looked at His Highness in surprise, then at Shen Ci, and then withdrew her gaze.

What, why are you so familiar?

The more I am afraid of what the more...

But in a blink of an eye, General Shen took His Majesty and His Highness to escape all the way. Only the three of them are there, and they must rely on General Shen for everything, then His Highness should also be close to General Shen.

Mommy Fang retracted her thoughts and watched Shen Ci leave the garden with Chi Hongying, trying to calm her heart down.

When he looked at A Nian again, he couldn't help hugging him again, his eyes were filled with mist, "Your Highness will be fine, this old slave is worried all the way."

A Nian patted her on the back, "Mother Fang, don't worry, with Uncle Shen here, my father and I are fine."

Hearing this, Mommy Fang was stunned.

His Highness likes General Shen very much...

Mommy Fang's heart was pounding.

***

On one side, Chi Hongying shared with Shen Ci, "General Shen said to go to Qucheng first?"

Shen Ci nodded, "Yes, there were some things in the past, and His Majesty and I were a little bit puzzled. Since this road was originally going to Qucheng, I will go faster on the way for two days, and stay in Qucheng for two more days before heading to Pingyang County. Go. Qucheng should be stable and there will be no trouble, so discuss this with General Chi in advance."

Chi Hongying hurriedly handed over, "Your Majesty asks the last commander to obey General Shen, and General Shen decides!"

Shen Ci stopped, "General Chi, is your father Chi Tiancheng, the servant of the Ministry of Works earlier?"

Chi Hongying was stunned, but since Shen Ci had already said it, Chi Hongying knew that Shen Ci had guessed it, so he did not hide it, "Yes, General Shen, the last general is the son of Chi Tiancheng, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry."

Sure enough, Shen Ci smiled, and did not continue talking, but said, "Please make preparations for General Chi first, and we will leave for Qucheng tomorrow."

"Yes!" Chi Hongying responded.

Looking at Chi Hongying's back, Shen Ci guessed Chen Ling's arrangement more and more.

Ziyiwei is her personal guard, and others may not be able to send it, and even if they can, they may run into a wall.

But Chi Hongying is different.

At the beginning, Shilang Chi was a scapegoat and was imprisoned because of the shortage of water conservancy. It was the former emperor who Chen Ling went to plead for mercy. At that time, he went to Dali Temple to guard the prison.

The Chi family always remembered.

Therefore, he was able to send Chi Hongying.

Chen Ling knew in his heart that he didn't want him to have any trouble going to Pingnan, and he thought about it all.

Moreover, A Nian is close to him, and others are bound to see it.

Chi Hongying won't chew his tongue...

***

At night, Mommy Fang took care of Anian and fell asleep.

A Nian hadn't seen Mommy Fang for a long time, and it was the time when she was cordial, so she didn't look for Shen Ci any more, but Momma Fang coaxed her to sleep.

And Momma Fang finally saw Anian, and she seemed to have a heart that fell back into her heart. After Anian fell asleep, she looked at Anian for a long time before leaving the room.

But when he got out of the house, he saw Shen Ci in the garden.

Mommy Fang was surprised, "Shen, General Shen?"

Shen Ci seemed to be thinking about something next to her, and when she heard the voice of Mama Fang, she raised her eyes to look at her, "Mother Fang."

Madam Fang greeted her, "General Shen, are you here to see His Highness?"

Shen Ci smiled, "Your Highness is asleep?"

Mommy Fang nodded, "I slept, I should be tired during the day, and I slept quickly."

Shen Ci also nodded.

Seeing that he didn't move, Mommy Fang asked, "Is there something wrong with General Shen?"

Shen Ci seemed to be still thinking, and finally looked at Mama Fang, "There is something, Shen Ci wants to ask Mama Fang."

Mommy Fang was surprised, "General Shen, please speak."

Shen Ci said softly, "Four years ago, when I left the capital, it was Mother Fang who said to send me for His Majesty."

Hearing this, Fang mama groaned in her heart, and panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up again, and smiled, "Do you remember the general? The old slave almost forgot, it should be."

Shen Ci knew that she was caring, and that some things were better not to be exposed.

"It's alright, Mommy Fang, let's rest early, we have to hurry tomorrow." Shen Ci said warmly.

"Hey, so does General Shen." Mother Fang was deeply concerned, but seeing that Shen Ci did turn around, she didn't stay any longer.

Mother Fang breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't see Shen Ci's expression.

Shen Ci lowered his eyebrows and smiled, with a ray of warmth in his eyes.

——General Shen, Your Highness has a message for General Shen. It’s a long way to go to Licheng. In the future, if General Shen has nothing to do, there is no need to return to Beijing…

This is not what she said.

She never thought that she would never see him again...
