Hidden Sky Light

General Shen suddenly asked, and Guo Zixiao recalled again, "General, it was before I heard about Harmiya. That time, Lao Han and I were addicted to drugs, and when I woke up, I lost the trace of the Xirong people. Later, when we met them again, we learned that their leader was Harmia."

Xue Chao and Xiao Wu looked at Shen Ci again.

That's what happened. That's what General Han and General Guo said last time.

Shen Cihuan his arms, leaned against the corner of the table and bowed slightly, and continued to ask, "That is to say, before you were drugged and unconscious, Harmiya was not in this group of people, and you have never seen Harmi. Ya, on the contrary, after they were stunned by them, they saw this group of Xirong people again, and only then did they know that their leader was named Harmia?"

Guo Zixiao affirmed, "Yes, the general is right."

"What's the matter, General? Is there a problem?" Guo Zixiao was at a loss.

So did Xue Chao and Xiao Wu.

Shen Ci raised his eyes and looked at Guo Zixiao, and seeing Guo Zixiao's exploratory look, Shen Ci said solemnly, "I thought something strange before, when you say this this time, I'm thinking about one thing. Zixiao, you and Hanguan is a border garrison, and often sneaks into Xirong. It is common for people to deal with Xirong, and they have rich experience, so the two of you must be very cautious. But being so cautious, they were drugged and unconscious on the way, which shows that they are also very cautious. , and come prepared. Since they have been cautious enough to find out your flaws and drug you again, how can they be so careless, even their leader called Harmiya such a confidential thing, you will listen to it Is it too coincidental?"

After Shen Ci finished speaking, not to mention Guo Zixiao, Xue Chao and Xiao Wu were stunned.

"Fuck!" Guo Zixiao got goosebumps, "Isn't it... intentional?"

Shen Ci continued to wrap his arms and lowered his eyes, "I guess Harmia was there when you were intoxicated and unconscious, and then...he has been following you."

Guo Zixiao and the others all took a deep breath.

This!

Shen Ci continued, "He deliberately let you know that Harmia has been here."

Guo Zixiao's faces turned pale.

Xue Chao suddenly remembered what happened in Qucheng, and couldn't help sighing, "General! When he was in Qucheng, Harmiat had consulted the general, and then led the general to chase another person. When the general turned back, he wrote a blood letter to the general. The general has issued the gauntlet!"

This is Harmiya's style of doing things, exactly the same!

Several people's faces are not very good-looking.

I have been at the border of the city for many years, and I have played against Xirong people countless times, winning and losing, but I have never seen a lunatic like Harmiya!

Shen Ci restrained the thoughts in his eyes and said warmly, "Be careful on the way back, remember, if you meet Harmiya, don't fight him head-on, you are not his opponents, you have twists and turns, unless you are sure to catch him, first Follow his trail, don't act rashly. With him, there should be people who are proficient in all things in Yan and Korea, and also know your origins. This trip will go back to Licheng first, and then meet with General Liu, be sure to remind General Liu , strengthen the security and inspection of the border, and be careful not to be too careful in troubled times."

"Yes!" Several people cupped their hands.

Guo Zixiao sighed, "At the moment the general is not there, neither is General Liu Lao Licheng, only General Liu is there. I wonder if General Liu can handle this matter?"

Shen Ci hesitated for a while, and then whispered, "Zixiao, let someone inform Old General Liu."

"Yes!" Guo Zixiao handed over again.

This matter has come to an end, the general will **** the emperor and the prince back to Beijing tomorrow. This time he will not be at the border for at least a few months. Xiao Wu stretches out his hand and scratches his head, while pouting, "General, I can't bear you..."

Shen Ci also looked at him.

When Xiao Wu arrived in the army, he followed him. Wherever he went, Xiao Wu went wherever he went. Xiao Wu always relied on him.

Guo Zixiao looked at Xiao Wu, and then at Shen Ci, "General, let Xiao Wu stay."

"Ah?" Xiao Wu was surprised, "You have all returned to Licheng, why should I stay?"

Guo Zixiao smiled, "Our little five are clever, there will always be someone to look after the general, don't you have a neat leg? If you stay, you can help the general..."

Guo Zixiao pretended to whisper, "By the way, keep an eye on the general, don't let him have the idea of ​​not coming back, you have to keep an eye on it!"

"Oh, yes yes yes!" Xiao Wu suddenly realized.

Everyone in the house laughed.

Xiao Wu also remembered that the general had an accident last time, but fortunately he arrived just in time.

No matter how powerful the general is, he can't be alone.

He is one of the most agile members of the Licheng Border Garrison, so of course it's good for him to stay.

Shen Ci said with a smile, "What did I say before?"

Xiao Wu sighed, "Beijing is no better than border gates, guard your mouth and be careful that misfortunes come out of your mouth~"

Shen Ci hummed softly, "Then are you doing well this way?"

Xiao Wu stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and rolled his eyes several times.

Shen Ci didn't reveal it again.

Shen Ci asked again, "Have you seen Yunniang this time?"

Xiao Wu's mouth was quicker than others again, "I've seen it, I've seen it~ Yunniang also asked about the general, your majesty and the prince! How did Yunniang know that it was the majesty and the prince earlier, and then the general escorted the whole Fuyang County. Now that I know, Niang Yun knows that it was His Majesty and the Crown Prince who were caught at her house earlier!"

Xue Chao and Guo Zixiao couldn't help laughing.

When this happens, Xiao Wu's mouth is always the fastest one.

"Where's Uncle Fu?" Shen Ci asked Uncle Fu again.

All the way in Fuyang County, Uncle Fu was taking care of him and Chen Ling. If Uncle Fu was not brave and seasoned and alert, it would have been difficult for them to join King Jingping peacefully.

Xue Chao replied, "Oh, the general said Uncle Fu! Uncle Fu is good, and asked us to ask the general how he is! Saying that this trip with the general is not a waste of time."

Shen Ci smiled, and then mentioned it again, "By the way, there is one more thing, I'd like to trouble you two."

"General, you said." Xue Chao looked at him.

Shen Ci said, "This time I was injured, and the doctor who has been treating me is called Uncle Hu. His son was also a soldier in Licheng Garrison. He died at the border more than ten years ago. Uncle Hu has always wanted to go to the border to see. But as he got old, he wanted to join the army, but he was not accepted in the army. Licheng was a long way, and it was a border crossing, so he could not go by himself. I promised him that if I went back to Licheng border crossing, I would take him with me. I can't leave for a while, so I want to leave the matter of Uncle Hu to the two of you, and send Uncle Hu to Licheng for me. If it is possible, ask if Uncle Hu can get a military doctor position in the army. If it is not possible, Let Uncle Hu temporarily stay at my official residence in Licheng, and if there are soldiers with minor illnesses from the cold, let them go to Uncle Hu to see a doctor and move around more."

Shen Ci always remembered about Uncle Hu in his heart.

"Don't worry, General, leave this matter to me and Xue Chao." Guo Zixiao responded.

They only came today and will be separated tomorrow. It is indeed a bit hasty, but they have already explained everything they need to say.

At the end, Guo Zixiao said again, "By the way, General, I have something to say to the General alone."

Shen Ci nodded.

After Xue Chao and Xiao Wu left, Guo Zixiao took out a very small whistle-like thing from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Shen Ci.

Fired from willow soil?

Shen Ci looked at Guo Zixiao unexpectedly.

Guo Zixiao said, "I remember that when I was in Qucheng and the General exploring the fire place, the General showed me the residue of the willow earth burning products, saying that the willow earth is called earth, but it is actually a forging material, resistant to high temperature and very hard. , the cost is high, and the forging process is difficult, and the willow soil products can be burned into residues, and the fire will definitely be huge."

Shen Ci remembered.

Guo Zixiao continued, "The last general still remembers that the general also said that things forged by Liutu are not uncommon. Coincidentally, this time on the way to Miaocheng, I saw a whistle made by Liutu, so I bought it. I heard from a local businessman that some people are selling this kind of thing, because it is not common, so we have to wait for someone who knows the product, but the profit is very high, so I am willing to sell it. The more I look at it, the more I feel that the pattern on it looks like I saw it in Qucheng. The pattern on the batch of residues that I have passed, so I brought it to the general to see."

Shen Ci recognized that Guo Zixiao said this, and he confirmed that it was the same.

Shen Ci read it several times, "Zixiao."

As soon as Shen Ci finished calling, his heart paused again.

——Zi'an, stay by my side, don't go anywhere, don't care about anything... If you don't go back to Licheng, don't care about Harmiya, go back to Beijing with me and Anian, and you don't care about border issues... …

"General?" Guo Zixiao looked at him.

Shen Ci lowered his eyes, sighed softly in his heart, and said, "Zixiao, listen, privately inquire about this batch of willow soil transactions, don't tell anyone, and don't let others know that I'm investigating this matter."

"Yes!" Guo Zixiao obeyed.

Most willow soils are produced near Anseong...

Shen Ci looked at the whistle in his hand again.

***

After coming out of Pingnan Hou's mansion, Sheng Wenyu counted the garrison on the school grounds and made deployment arrangements for departure in advance.

"Sir, General Shen is here." A lieutenant general announced.

Sheng Wenyu looked up at him, Shen Ci smiled at him, and stood a little far away with his arms around him, not disturbing him.

Sheng Wenyu withdrew his gaze and returned to the surroundings, "As per this arrangement, let the Huaicheng defenders do a round of counting in advance. When Ning Xiang goes to Huaicheng, make sure not to cause trouble."

"Yes, Prince!" The lieutenant responded.

Seeing that General Shen is here, he should be discussing something with the prince, and no one will stay around.

"General Shen."

"General Shen."

The people who left all greeted Shen Ci one after another, and Shen Ci nodded in return. When everyone else left, Shen Ci stepped forward, "Did you just come to the inn to find me?"

Sheng Wenyu hummed softly, "Walk around the school grounds?"

"Okay." Shen Ci smiled.

The two were pacing side by side in the training camp on the school ground. There were soldiers practicing against each other in the training camp. Some were empty-handed, some were armed with swords, and there were shouts, voices, and training sounds everywhere. Very lively.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, the training on weekdays cannot be left behind.

Both Shen Ci and Sheng Wenyu were leading soldiers, and such scenes were very common.

The two of them walked and watched. They had been in the army for a long time, and they were used to holding the saber in their right hand, especially when they were in the army.

"Have you seen your uncle?" Shen Ci spoke first.

"Well." Sheng Wenyu replied, "No matter what Fan Zhuo said this time, not only did he not get into trouble, but the arrest of Tan Jin was somewhat related to Fan Zhuo. The Pingnan Hou Mansion was bright this time, and Uncle Lu was too late to be happy. In previous years Speaking of letting Fan Zhuo enter the capital, Uncle Lu was in a panic, for fear that something would happen to him in the capital. He was afraid that His Majesty would protect him too much and one day he would not want to protect Fan Zhuo. But this time it was different! Speaking of letting Fan Zhuo went to Beijing, not only did he not object to it, but he also specifically asked Fan Zhuo to arrive in Beijing a few years ago, so don't be late when he pays homage on the first day of the new year."

Shen Ci listened and smiled, "Fan Zhuo is good, and my uncle is happy."

Sheng Wenyu also said, "Fan Zhuo can't control that mouth. If he can control it, he is really smart and useful; This time you return to Beijing with the emperor, Uncle Lu will let you take care of Fan Zhuo more."

Shen Ci smiled and said, "That's what happened when I was a child. He is rebellious now. I can't control him. He is afraid of His Majesty."

Sheng Wenyu didn't answer.

"By the way, what are you looking for from me?" Shen Ci asked.

Sheng Wenyu just stopped and walked to the stable. The lieutenant at the stable saw Sheng Wenyu in person, and stepped forward and handed him the whip in his hand.

Sheng Wenyu took it, and then handed it to Shen Ci, "Here, I will pass Ancheng on the way back to Beijing. This is a birthday gift for Shanhai. I have been looking for this horse whip for a long time, and you gave it to Shanhai for me. I originally promised to see him on his birthday. Yes, I'm afraid I can't get through in Huaicheng right now, so you just happened to take it for me."

Shen Ci took it, and couldn't help but look at him, "You really have a heart."

Sheng Wenyu smiled, "Children, you always look forward to your birthday, you will remember these things..."

Shen Ci also lowered his head and smiled.

Shan Hai is his nephew, the son of his eldest brother, who is a few years older than A Nian.

The Sheng family, the Lu family and the Shen family are on good terms, and it’s better if they meet Shanhai if they don’t meet each other. Shanhai is the few of them who watched him grow up, and they all love him!

Sheng Wenyu looked at him, "What about you? What have you prepared for Shanhai? Don't be driven over by my uncle Wenyu."

Shen Ci smiled, "Little pony!"

Sheng Wenyu looked at him.

Shen Ci said, "Last time eldest brother brought Shanhai to Licheng, Xue Chao, Guo Zixiao and others brought eldest brother and Shanhai to play very well, and also took Shanhai to see the pony, he liked it very much, I told him , I will give him a foal when it is his birthday. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to give a whip, but it's a perfect match."

Sheng Wenyu also laughed.

Shen Ci put his hand on his shoulder, "Thank you for my nephew, Uncle Wen Yu~"

Sheng Wenyu pushed him away.

Shen Ci was not annoyed, and continued, "My aunt said that I haven't seen me for a long time, and my eldest brother said that it happened to be Shan Hai's birthday, so I wanted to see my aunt first, and then I would go back to Ancheng to celebrate Shan Hai's birthday. I didn't expect an accident in Huaicheng, this time Xue Chao and the others helped bring the pony back."

If it wasn't for Xue Chao this time, Zixiao would have to go back in a hurry. Big Brother and Shan Hai would be happy to see them.

Sheng Wenyu looked at him and said solemnly, "Zi'an, it's fortunate that you are here this time."

Shen Ci also looked at him, "It's also a coincidence..."

Not far away, Sheng Wenyu's lieutenant stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Prince, Huaicheng has urgent military affairs!"

Since it was an urgent military task from Huaicheng, it was not something that could be done in a few words. Both Sheng Wenyu and Shen Ci knew that they had to say goodbye.

"Wait for me." Sheng Wenyu responded, and the lieutenant stood up and backed away.

Sheng Wenyu turned to Shen Ci, "Zi'an, take care of Your Majesty on the way back to Beijing, see you in Beijing."

"See you in Beijing." After Shen Ci said, seeing Sheng Wenyu turn around, he went to another place with the lieutenant.

Looking at Sheng Wenyu's back, Shen Ci looked down at the whip in his hand again.

rarely meet...

Shen Ci smiled, then turned and left to go to Pingnanhou Mansion.

If the elder brother hadn't mentioned about his aunt and Shanhai this time, he probably wouldn't have come back.

When he went to Licheng, Shanhai was three or four years old, and he was the same age as Anian, but Anian was much more sensible than Shanhai at that time.

Right now, Shan Hai is six or seven years old, just at the age to practice riding ponies, he must like it...

When he asked Xue Chao to return to the west today, he would pick another pony.

When he returned to Beijing, he taught Ah Nian to ride horses, and Ah Nian would definitely like it.

Shen Ci raised the corners of his mouth and jumped on his horse.

The school grounds are still some distance from the Pingnan Hou Mansion. It is almost dusk now, and it will be night when we arrive at the Hou Mansion, so things at A Ling should be pretty busy.

These days seem to be accustomed to seeing her every day, and when I don't see her, it seems that something is missing in my heart.

People always have greed, and they get used to it and look forward to it every day.

Even a brief meeting is fine.

He misses her...

Shen Ci rode away with a smile on his face.

Along the road, the streets and alleys began to turn on the lanterns one after another. The lanterns started to come on, and then the day was full of traffic and quiet. When the horses' hoofs fell, and the dusk was getting away, he had someone he wanted to see.

***

In the side hall, Fang Sifu snorted and shed tears, so he almost fell on Chen Ling's feet, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty~ This time Tan invaded and made trouble, and Wei Chen failed to serve Your Majesty with all his might, Wei Chen should be blamed. Even if you die, although Wei Chen is useless, in times of crisis, you can at least help Your Majesty to block the knife, Your Majesty! Wei Chen should serve His Majesty's left and right. When Wei Chen thinks of the days when His Majesty is worried, Wei Chen can't sleep at night. what!"

Fang Sifu was really crying with snot and tears, and the tears could be seen.

Qu Bianying looked at the emperor with a smile.

The emperor has a headache when he sees it.

Chen Ling also really had a headache.

——Fan Yu is talented, such a person should be used by Your Majesty; but a person such as Fang Sifu should be used by Your Majesty.

——As a monarch, you can reuse ministers and generals according to your own preferences, but all kinds of people in the court will let a hundred flowers bloom... Your Majesty must reuse Shen Ci, Sheng Wenyu, Fan Yu, and also reuse Square four volts.

With great difficulty, Fang Sifu finally finished crying.

Chen Ling also looked up at him, "Get up, Fang Qing, I know what you mean."

Fang Sifu cried again with a "wow", "Your Majesty..."

Chen Ling wanted to die!
