Hidden Sky Light

Shen Ci looked at him without speaking.

Tan Jin laughed again and again for a long time, but Shen Ci didn't interrupt him, just kept looking at him.

Tan Jin, who was originally far away from him, suddenly stopped laughing and walked towards him.

The purple-clothed guards beside Shen Ci drew their swords one after another, Shen Ci stretched out his hand, and pressed the saber of the nearest person back into the scabbard.

Tan Wang was seriously injured earlier, and he fell off the horse just now. The force of the impact on the ground directly broke his arm. The current Tan Wang really can't threaten General Shen...

Seeing Shen Ci like this, Tan Jin said with a low smile, "Shen Ci, you have the courage. You are stronger than your father!"

Shen Ci still looked at him and said nothing.

Tan Jin also continued to step forward, "I originally thought that since your grandfather, the descendants of the Shen family have only their own appearance, and none of them can go to the battlefield, but you, Shen Ci, you have never been to the border. A man who has followed Liu Jian in Licheng for several years, is more promising than your father and your elder brother! Liu Jian taught well, you are his beloved apprentice, and he gave you all his life's learning. Now, I also handed over Licheng border gates to you, not even my own son!"

Shen Ci said in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?"

Tan Jin finally walked up to him, as if looking at him so carefully for the first time, and Shen Ci didn't step back.

"Like! It's like! It looks like your grandfather!" Tan Jin snorted softly, "You Shen family finally gave a serious speech, and your grandfather Jiuquan should rest in peace."

After Tan Jin finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand, and the dagger in his sleeve stood out.

The Ziyiwei behind Shen Ci panicked, "General!"

But before he finished speaking, Shen Ci was already holding his hand in the direction of the dagger. Tan Jin was startled and wanted to break free, but his other hand was broken and he couldn't exert any strength. The dagger fell to the side, the only arm that could move was also held behind him, his face was pressed against the dust on the ground, and he couldn't move at all.

The surrounding Ziyiwei only let out a sigh of relief, and General Shen knew it.

Right now, Tan Jin can't move anymore, and Shen Ci also stretched out his hand to hold his arm to make sure he couldn't get up again, and then said in a low voice, "Your Highness is also a person who fights on the battlefield, don't you want the last respect?"

"Decent?" Shen Ci's words seemed to stimulate Tan Jin again. Tan Jin spit out all the ash he had eaten earlier, and said in a low voice, "Do you know what decency is?"

Shen Ci said without hesitation, "Loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and galloping on the battlefield, are the dignity of people in the military like you and me."

Tan Jin laughed again, but this time, behind the smile, there seemed to be more hysteria.

Shen Ci looked at him.

After Tan Jin finished laughing, the dying person, Tan Jin had nothing to take care of, "Dignity? What is the use of this dignity? In the end who can tolerate me? You ask your little emperor, if he knows I have the blood of an ordinary Xi Rong, can he sit on his dragon chair with peace of mind? Even if he is at ease today, tomorrow is at ease, what about the day after tomorrow? Can he sit back and relax?"

Shen Ci didn't answer.

Tan Jin laughed and said, "Just because I am half Xirong, no one will trust me! I have made great achievements for Yan Han. If it wasn't for me, Tan Jin, half of Yan Han's country would have been in the hands of the Baal people! I Every wound on the body is iron proof! What's wrong with me taking this Yanhan's country!"

Shen Ci said in a low voice, "If every general who guards the frontier feels that he has made great military exploits, if it weren't for him, half of Yanhan's country would have long since fallen into the hands of foreigners, and everyone would feel that there is nothing wrong with taking Yanhan's country. , what will Yanhan look like today? Torn apart, to run their own affairs! Fragmented, the people are struggling to live! Is that right?"

Tan Jin gritted his teeth.

Shen Ci continued, "Ask yourself, the chaos in Huaicheng is as you said, it's because you have the blood of Xirong, others are jealous of you and can't tolerate you, or it's because of your own ambitions!"

Tan Jin was silent.

Shen Ci spoke again, "If you have no ambition, what are you afraid of Xirong blood, what are you afraid of!"

Tan Jin interrupted, "Shen Ci, have you never been ambitious?"

Shen Ci replied, "No."

Tan Jin chuckled, "That's what it feels like you don't know ambition, Shen Ci! You'll be me in the future."

Shen Ci was firm and firm, "No, I will never be you!"

Tan Jin laughed, "That's because you haven't tasted power. After you have tasted it, are you willing to give up the throne to a yellow-haired boy like Chen Ling?"

Shen Ci said in a deep voice, "I will never betray her."

Tan Jin laughed even more happily, "Shen Ci, you are the son of the emperor's companion and have a friendship with him. If it is the son of the emperor, what about the grandson of the emperor? Will you still be scruples? At that time, you will already be in control of the world. A person who does not have even teeth bows his head and becomes a minister, are you willing? Even if you are willing, will your descendants be willing? Will your Shen family be willing? In this world, the surname is not Chen!"

Shen Ci pressed him tightly, "But it's surnamed Chen now, and it will also be surnamed Chen in the future!"

Tan Jin clenched his teeth so hard that he groaned.

Shen Ci didn't want to argue with him again, "Tie it up and take it to Zhencheng!"

Shen Ci gave an order, and the Ziyiwei behind him stepped forward.

Originally, Shen Ci was only healed from an old injury, and just now he subdued Tan Jin, who suddenly burst out. Although Shen Ci was not injured again, he still used up a lot of physical strength. Especially, even if Tan Jin was seriously injured, he was still brute force. Tightening him is not easy.

Right now, Shen Ci just got up, and the Ziyiwei behind him didn't have time to step forward when Tan Jin suddenly broke free!

Ziyiwei was surprised, and Shen Ci was also stunned.

Tan Jin couldn't escape, but he rolled on the ground, picked up the dagger from earlier, and laughed frantically, "The king is defeated! I, Tan Jin, will never bow to the emperor!"

When Tan Jin finished speaking, the dagger slid across his throat, and blood was pouring out immediately. Tan Jin looked at Shen Ci with a smile on his face, then knelt down a little in front of him and fell to the ground.

When one side of Ziyiwei stepped forward, there was no breath.

Not far away, the sound of hooves galloped, it should be the pursuit of soldiers all the way.

Shen Ci looked at Tan Jin in a pool of blood, and remembered that when his grandfather was alive, he had told them about how he and Tan Jin were fighting the enemy in the north...

"Second brother!" Lu Mingjian's voice came.

There was excitement, surprise, and disbelief in his voice, "Second brother! It's really you~ I thought I was wrong!"

Almost didn't jump into Shen Ci's arms.

Behind him, several riders dismounted, "General Shen!"

Shen Ci recognized Shi Huaiyuan!

When Shi Huaiyuan saw Shen Ci, he couldn't help but get excited, and his eyes were filled with eyes.

When he parted ways with General Shen earlier and entrusted the prince to General Shen, he went to Jingping Palace to deliver a letter, and General Shen said that he was going to save the emperor!

General Shen did not break his promise!

The emperor and the prince are all well, he rescued the emperor and the prince from Tan Jin!

Shi Huaiyuan stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "General Shen!"

Shen Ci helped him up, and naturally changed the subject, "Tan Jin committed suicide."

Only then did Shen Ci and Lu Mingjian look at Tan Jin, who was in a pool of blood, and Shi Huaiyuan nodded, "General Shen, leave the rest to the last commander to deal with."

Shen Ci nodded, then turned to look at Lu Mingjian, "Why are you here?"

After just saying that, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but smile again, "You've grown so tall?"

Lu Mingjian hadn't seen him for a long time. Tears were tightly wrapped in his eyes just now, but at the moment, he threw himself into Shen Ci's arms with a 'wow', "Second brother!"

Lu Mingjian's strength is not small, and he is just in the inch of strength. It was not long before Shen Ci was injured, and he fought against Tan Jin again, but he didn't pay attention to throwing Shen Ci to the ground.

Lu Mingjian looked panicked, "Second brother?"

Ziyiwei on one side couldn't stand it any longer, "Sir, is the general still injured?"

Lu Mingjian seemed to have just regained his senses, and quickly stretched out his hand and got up from Shen Ci, "Second brother! Are you alright?"

Shen Ci said warmly, "It's okay."

"Second brother, why are you in Kuncheng?" Lu Mingjian asked while everyone was cleaning up.

Shen Ci replied, "Your Majesty asked me to **** the prince all the way to safety. I heard on the road yesterday that Huaicheng was captured, but Tan Jin ran away. I guess Xu is here. According to the journey of a day or two, it should be there. It's nearby, so I tried my luck, I just happened to see a signal flare and told people to straighten the rope here and stop them."

"You...how did you know Tan Jin was here?" Lu Mingjian was curious.

Shen Ci stretched out his hand and sighed at his forehead, "I will find time to tell you in the future."

After saying that, Shen Ci got up, and Lu Mingjian also got up, "Second brother, where are you going?"

Shen Ci turned to look at him, "No, His Majesty asked me to **** the Crown Prince to safety. I slipped here halfway, and I had to return to the Crown Prince as soon as possible, otherwise His Majesty would know, and I'm afraid he would be blamed. As for you, Tan Jin found it. , I've also killed myself, hurry back to find His Majesty to return to life!"

"Oh! That's right!" Lu Mingjian responded, "I'm looking for His Majesty to return to life!"

He didn't do anything in front of His Majesty, and now he just feels that the second brother is the most thorough in everything.

Shen Ci patted him on the shoulder, "Go, go with General Shi."

"Okay!" Lu Mingjian rejoiced, "Second brother, I'll come to you after I see His Majesty~"

Shen Ci nodded.

Shi Huaiyuan also explained the matter here, simply said a few words to Shen Ci, and then rode back with Lu Mingjian, before leaving, Shen Ci instructed, "Tell Your Majesty for me, Prince is well, as His Majesty said. , first send the prince to Miaocheng."

"Yes!" Shi Huaiyuan responded.

Seeing Lu Mingjian and Shi Huai go far away, Shen Ci also breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, the Tan Jin thing came to an end.

He didn't go to Zhencheng with Lu Mingjian and Shi Huaiyuan, because he thought that Chen Ling had told him to be optimistic about A Nian, so his duty was to be optimistic about A Nian. He went to Qucheng for a few days, and came to Kuncheng again. Both times, A Nian was placed with Mommy Fang and Chi Hongying. He was afraid that Chen Ling's temper would come up again...

He missed her, but he couldn't go with Lu Mingjian and Shi Huaiyuan.

"Let's go, go back to Kun City." Shen Ci also jumped on his horse and returned to Kun City with the Ziyiwei behind him.

***

Kuncheng Inn, when Shen Ci turned back, Ah Nian was already asleep.

It was Mother Fang who was guarding, and when Shen Ci came back, she took a special look.

"General." Mother Fang was blessed.

"I'll come and see His Highness." Shen Ci stepped forward and saw that A Nian was really sleeping alone.

"Is the general still going well?" Mother Fang knew that he had gone to look outside Kuncheng.

Shen Ci nodded, "Going well."

Mommy Fang also breathed a sigh of relief, "It will be smooth."

With Mama Fang here, Shen Ci was inconvenient to stay for a long time, "Mother Fang, rest early, we will leave for Miaocheng around noon tomorrow."

"Okay." Fang Fang responded and escorted him outside the house, then sighed softly.

In fact, she didn't know that the emperor had said earlier that General Shen would take the prince to Zhencheng, but on the way, he changed his mind and said that he should take the prince to Miaocheng.

Miaocheng is the capital of Pingnan County and the seat of Pingnan Houfu. General Shen's aunt is Marquis Pingnan. If General Shen goes to Miaocheng, wouldn't he want to meet Mrs. Marquis Pingnan?

The prince...

Madam Fang couldn't figure it out in her heart.

It was only on that trip just now that General Shen said he had something to go out and he would come back later, but now he was back, but she clearly saw the blood on his sleeve.

He just said something to go out, I'm afraid it's another excuse.

Mother Fang did not dare to ask more.

It was not until dawn the next day that Mother Fang heard that yesterday General Shen brought Ziyiwei to intercept King Tan who escaped. King Tan had committed suicide. The Prince of Pingnan and General Shi returned to Zhencheng, and the Emperor returned to the front. General Shen returned to Kuncheng's official residence and said he would take care of the prince.

Mommy Fang froze, and it took a long time before she could react.

King Tan, Fufa committed suicide, was General Shen intercepted?

It turned out that General Shen was there last night... Mama Fang did not expect General Shen to be so low-key.

Madam Fang sighed in her heart.

In order to facilitate the destination on the road, they can start from Kuncheng around noon today, just before nightfall to Mingcheng, so that they can start from Mingcheng tomorrow and arrive at Miaocheng around dusk. This arrangement is the most reasonable.

So in the morning, Mommy Fang still saw General Shen bring the prince along to memorize "Five Eyes", practice daggers, make horse steps, and would soon follow General Shen to run.

Throughout the morning, the Crown Prince and General Shen were very full.

Right now is the beginning of August. It is hot during the day, and the heat will gradually disappear at night. Mommy Fang will try her best not to let him catch a cold. Whenever she sweats with General Shen, Mother Fang will take the Prince to change his clothes.

When Madam Fang took the prince to change clothes, Ziyiwei came to the garden, "General, Madam Pingnan Hou is here."

aunt? Shen Ci was surprised.

He originally came to see his aunt this time, but when he encountered Tan Jin's rebellion, he hasn't reached Miaocheng yet. Didn't expect his aunt to come here?

Shen resigned to greet him.

Shen Ci's mother passed away early. When he was at home, it was his aunt who took care of him, so he had a good relationship with his aunt, which was also the reason why he shared a brief message with him later.

"Aunt!" When Shen Ci greeted her, she saw someone beside her aunt holding her up the stairs of the official residence.

Shen Ci couldn't help frowning.

Mrs. Pingnan Hou just looked up and saw Shen Ci, with a smile on her face, "Aci!"

Shen Ci raised the corner of his mouth, "Auntie."

Mrs. Pingnanhou treats him with kindness and kindness. She hasn't seen him for a few years, and her joy is written in her eyes, "Well, well, I'm relieved to see you well~"

Before Shen Ci could speak, Mrs. Pingnanhou patted and held her hand, "Ayao, this is your brother Zi'an."

Shen Ci was slightly startled.

Sheng Yaochao blessed Shen Ci, "Brother Zi'an."

Shen Ci looked at Mrs. Pingnanhou and said, aunt?

Mrs. Pingnan Hou said, "Ayao is a girl from Jianping Hou's mansion, don't you remember?"

Shen Ci was annoyed, and suddenly understood why his aunt was so anxious to let him go to Miaocheng.

Mrs. Pingnan Hou said, "Ayao is gentle and virtuous, I heard that I miss Jian'er, and I was afraid that I would be boring alone on the road, so she went with me to Zhencheng, and said to see how Jianer is, but I just arrived in Kuncheng. , I heard that you are here, so come and see, where is the prince?"

Naturally, Shen Ci didn't believe it. He dismantled people and sent a letter to his aunt two days ago, saying that he was going to Miaocheng, and he would pass through Kuncheng on the way.

My aunt brought Sheng Yao here on purpose.

Shen Ci bit the bullet and said, "The prince has gone to change his clothes."

"Oh, so that's it, is it convenient for us to go together?" Mrs. Pingnanhou said, and then reached out and stroked her forehead, "I just got a little dizzy, so I have to take a break."

Shen Ci took a deep breath and looked at his aunt.

My aunt has become a weak willow without the wind.

Sheng Yao was nervous, "I'll help you to rest."

Mrs. Pingnan Hou suddenly became energetic, "No need, no need! It just happens that I have a headache and no time to accompany you. Let Ah Ci accompany you to walk around the mansion."

Shen Ci: "…"

Sheng Yao bowed her head shyly.

"Aunt?" Shen Ci said, Mrs. Pingnanhou was too 'dizzy', and asked the people in the official residence to lead her to rest.

Shen Ci sighed and thought that they were going to Zhencheng later, they would go to Miaocheng, but they didn't have to go all the way.

My aunt left Sheng Yao alone, which was always a little embarrassing.

Sheng Yao's face turned a little red when she saw him, "Brother Zi'an."

Shen Ci froze, this name made him really not used to it.

But he also knew that it was his aunt who was like this, and it was not easy to help Sheng Yao's face. As the two walked away, he said to Sheng Yao, "I'm not used to this name, so I'd better call my second brother along with Mingjian."

Sheng Yao was also relieved, "Second brother."

Shen Ci also smiled with relief, just as he was thinking about how to reject his aunt later, out of the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of the indigo dragon robe on one side, and suddenly, Shen Ci was stunned.

A Ling?

Qi Shan has been following Chen Ling's side, he didn't notice that Shen Ci was also in the garden, and he was talking to Chen Ling, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince was with General Shen when he woke up this morning, and he is still with General Shen at the moment. where..."

Chen Ling's eyes were just looking at Shen Ci who was with Sheng Yao in front of him.

Qishan's face was slapped, and he was embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

Just as Shen Ci was about to speak, he saw Chen Ling looking at him lightly, "I'm here to see the prince."

Shen Ci wanted to die.
