Hidden Sky Light

Han Guan, Guo Zixiao, and Xiao Wu were all nervous, looking at the general's appearance, um, they must have found something!

Now that we are near the border, if we continue to move forward, I am afraid that there will be negotiations with Xi Rong, but the general did not let him stop. It is very likely that what he found is the same...

Several people invariably thought of Lao Xue.

Han Guan, Guo Zixiao and Xiao Wu couldn't help but get nervous.

"General, go ahead to the Xirong territory!" Guo Zixiao reminded.

Everyone stopped and looked at Shen Ci, wondering whether to continue. It's just a routine patrol, there are not many people at the moment, and if you chase it further, it is very likely that you will encounter people from Xirong, there are many things to consider in advance...

Whether to continue or suspend, it is up to Shen Ci to make up his mind.

Shen Ci was hesitant, but he was still screaming forward, and while sniffing, he became more and more excited. This should be the closest to Xue Chao's death. If he doesn't continue now, there may be no chance in the future.

But now is not the time, and he is not fully prepared. If he encounters it, whether he can withdraw safely, whether conflict will break out, whether it is time or not, Shen Ci quickly calculated in his heart.

After a while, um, he seemed a little tired, and bit his tail desperately to look at him.

Shen Ci seemed to have made up his mind, and just as he was about to speak, a garrison in front shouted, "General!"

The surroundings were stunned. Shen Ci and a few people stepped forward. It was the garrison who found bloodstains on the grassland. Shen Ci half squatted down, and Han Guan stretched out his hand, "It's not long since the blood stained, and people have only left soon. Someone was injured."

Shen Ci said, "Follow the blood trail."

It should be all around.

The bloodstains have been extending from the west. Because there are not many, it is difficult to find them, especially during routine patrols. Today is because of ummm, and finally, the bloodstains stopped abruptly at one place, ummm also stopped. There is no further progress here.

Shen Ci knew very well that it was the smell and blood that were broken here.

"General!" Han Guan and several others also stepped forward.

This is so weird!

If the fight was fierce, the bloodstains could not have been so little. There is so little blood, but it has been there, it is very likely that the injury is not so serious, but it is chased and run all the way. This is the border between Xirong and Yanhan, and there are patrolling garrisoned troops from both sides at any time. It is unreasonable to be chased or chased by people in this kind of place...

The smell and bloodstains were interrupted here, and Shen Ci said in a deep voice, "It was rescued by someone."

By now, the matter has become more and more confusing.

"Which tribe is this near to the east of Xirong?" Shen Ci confirmed again.

"The nearest one is Yanzhi tribe." Guo Zixiao responded.

"What else?" Shen Ci continued to ask.

"A little further away is the head, and the two tribes of the Niu are also nearby." Han Guan added.

"Continue the search here. Zixiao, you arrange for someone to go to these three tribes to inquire about the news in the past few days, and investigate carefully." After Shen Ci finished speaking, several people responded.

Xue Chao's death was only related to Harmiya earlier.

Harmia is only to the west of Xirong, but at the moment, it seems that the tribes to the east of Xirong are also involved.

Shen Ci said to Han Guan again, "Let the city also check it to see if there are any clues, find an excuse, and don't startle the snake."

"Yes!" Han Guan did not hesitate.

The rest of the people remained nearby to continue the search.

Chen Ling just left Licheng, but will come back in half a month. It's not a good thing to do something wrong at this time. He wants to ensure the safety of this place.

"General! Come and see!" Xiao Wu's voice came.

Xiao Wu got up and handed a talisman in his hand to Shen Ci, which was just found in a hidden place. Shen Ci took it, and when his eyes fell on the words on the amulet, he suddenly froze.

Harmia?

Shen Ci's eyes froze, didn't the amulet earlier fall into Qu Bianying's hands? He's seen it before, it can't be wrong.

Shen Ci looked at the amulet in his hand again, it was Harmia, what happened?

Shen Ci was puzzled.

The amulet of the Xirong family will be there since birth. It is issued by the priest, only one, and it is not the same color when it is lost, so there are very few cases of fraudulent use.

Xiao Wu was surprised, "General, what's wrong?"

Shen Ci looked at Xiao Wu, "I asked Xue Chao to investigate Harmiya earlier, and he found out that Harmiya is from the Puyi tribe and is also a Shanyu of the five tribal alliances in the west of Xirong, but he can also inquire in Yanhan. Without too much news about Harmiya, I wanted to sneak into Xirong to inquire again after returning to Licheng, but an accident happened later. I have read all the information that General Liu asked to inquire, and it is similar to Xue Chao's, I am afraid The only way is to go to the west of Xirong. It was a severe winter earlier, and it is not suitable for movement, Xiao Wu, find a way to go to the west of Xirong. If all the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods are here, it is suitable to go to the west. "

"Yes!" Xiao Wu responded.

"Lao Han and Lao Guo are not suitable to show up again. Bring enough people and pay attention to safety." Shen Ci urged.

Xiao Wu nodded, "You know the general, don't worry."

Shen Ci looked at the amulet in his hand again, and then lowered his head to look, um, no accident, he should meet Harmiya soon...

***

On the carriage going to Sizhou, Chen Ling leaned against the corner of the carriage, looked out of the carriage, and didn't say much the whole way.

Licheng three days, fast like a dream.

During the three days she was with Shen Ci, there were also greedy thoughts growing in her heart, but she couldn't. She is good, Shen Ci also has it, she has her own perseverance and compromise, and they all accommodate each other in perseverance and compromise...

With Licheng already behind him, Shen Ci's matter can only be put on hold temporarily.

Bai Jin and Xu Jiao are different.

No matter how powerful Xu Jiao is, the person behind him is Emperor Nanshun Yuan. Talking about collapse with Xu Jiao, there is Emperor Yuan behind Xu Jiao; but Bai Jin is different.

Bai Jin himself represented Cang Yue.

And Bai Jin was extremely low-key this time, and did not disclose any news to the outside world. What Bai Jin wants to talk about is not something that is on the bright side...

Chen Ling looked away from the curtain, Xu Jiao sent Yan Han to represent Nan Shun to negotiate a deal with Yan Han; but Bai Jin came to discuss the private agreement between Cang Yue and Yan Han. Moreover, Bai Jin came to Licheng, which was an important border town between Yanhan and Xirong.

To put it uglier, Cang Yue's hand was stretched too long...

Chen Ling narrowed his eyes.

***

A few days later, the carriage slowly arrived in Sizhou, and the voice of the guards sounded outside, "Your Majesty, we have arrived at Sizhou City, and the Marquis of Jianping and General Qu have arrived outside the city to welcome you."

As soon as the guard's voice fell, he heard the sound of a horse beating in the distance.

Soon, the sound of the horse's hooves stopped not far away, Sheng Wenyu got off his horse and bowed his hands outside the carriage, "Wei Chen picks up the car!"

Chen Ling raised the curtain and saw Sheng Wenyu in a military uniform.

The House of the Marquis of Jianping inherited the title, and Sheng Wenyu always called himself a Weichen. He was escorted by Ziyiwei on this trip, so he also wore military uniforms.

Chen Ling looked at him and asked warmly, "When did you arrive in Sizhou?"

No name was given, it is a close relationship.

Sheng Wenyu raised his head, "Go back to Your Majesty, it's been two days."

Other than that, nothing else is mentioned.

Chen Ling nodded, "I just happened to have something to do and went out for a while."

Chen Ling mentioned it without saying much, and asked again, "Where's the Cang Yue East Palace?"

Sheng Wenyu said, "The whereabouts of the East Palace have been kept secret earlier, and I only received the news today that they will arrive in Fengcheng tomorrow morning. General Qu has brought Ziyiwei to Fengcheng to welcome them today, and the East Palace will arrive in Sizhou around dusk tomorrow. Your Majesty to meet."

Chen Ling should be fine.

"Go into the city first." Chen Ling put down the curtain.

Sheng Wenyu should be.

Outside the carriage, Sheng Wenyu jumped on his horse.

Externally, Chen Ling is still praying for blessings in Huishan, so this trip is low-key.

Although the escorts are all Ziyiwei, they are not the emperor's honor guard. Ziyiwei's functions involve a wide range of functions, and he will also work on his grandfather's business, so it is not noticeable.

The carriage entered the city, and instead of staying at the official mansion and the post house, he found a quiet house somewhere on the outskirts of the city.

"Your Majesty is tired all the way to Zhoucheng, let's rest first." Sheng Wenyu and Chen Ling said when they got off the carriage.

"Okay." Chen Ling said quietly.

"Have everything been arranged for tomorrow?" Chen Ling asked.

Sheng Wenyu cupped his hands, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything has been arranged. General Qu will personally **** him along the way. There are purple-clothed guards on duty to patrol around here, and there are secret guards watching, nothing will happen."

"Okay." Chen Ling reminded again, "Bai Jin's status is special, and he cannot make any mistakes in the Yanhan realm. We will meet you rarely. When Bo Jin arrives in Sizhou City tomorrow, you must pay attention to his safety throughout the whole process for me."

"Yes." Sheng Wenyu responded.

Chen Ling returned to the garden, and the inner courtier next to him quickly followed and served. Emperor Yi was still in Huishan Palace, and Qishan stayed in Huishan Palace to deal with it.

As Chen Ling entered, he explained things to the inner waiter beside him.

The waiter hurriedly bowed to answer.

Sheng Wenyu stopped outside the garden, looking at the emperor's back from a distance, slightly dazed.

There is no need to inquire about the whereabouts of the emperor, even if there is, it is a cover-up news, the emperor is coming from the direction of Licheng...

The emperor is losing his sense a little bit. Whenever something happens to Shen Ci, the emperor will be like this, especially after the Ancheng Rebellion, it becomes more and more out of control.

——Yan Han has been silent for too long, I want to be the prosperous Mingjun of Yan Han.

——This Louis has to go, and it is not easy to go, there is no turning back.

——Sheng Wenyu, swear to follow His Majesty to the death.

Sheng Wenyu lowered his eyes slowly, the night light just came on, and the eaves light stretched the figure on the ground.

***

The next day, Chen Ling slept very late and woke up.

Licheng is an important border town. The road from Licheng border to Sizhou is not easy to walk. It was as if he had just slept for a long time.

When I woke up, there was a waiter serving breakfast.

"What about Shao Feng?" Chen Ling asked.

The waiter replied, "The Marquis of Jianping left this morning and went to wait at the Shili Pavilion outside the city."

morning?

Chen Ling was surprised, didn't he say that Bo Jin would not arrive until around dusk?

The maid understood, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jianping said, if His Majesty asks, he will inform His Majesty that he will go earlier, and then inspect one side to ensure the safety of the surrounding area, Cang Yue East Palace is a long way, and if you arrive first, there will be people waiting for you, not bad. Half a day."

These things don't need her to explain more, he takes it all right.

"I know." Chen Ling responded.

The maid withdrew.

Chen Ling continued to use the cakes, and remembered that whether it was the Ancheng Rebellion earlier, or the current envoy of Bai Jin, with Sheng Wenyu there, it was always safe...

She had never seen Bai Jin before.

But the teacher just came back from Cang Yue's mission earlier. Bo Jin is two or three years older than her, but she is one year older than Cang Yue. The crown prince is in charge of the country. He can visit Yanhan in private for such a long time, which shows that the regime in Cang Yue Kingdom is very strong. stable.

Bai Jin began to supervise the country at the age of sixteen, and by now eight years, he has already mastered it with ease.

I am afraid that Bai Jin is not easy to deal with, nor easy to deal with.

The more this is the case, the less urgent it is, listen more and talk less, there are still a few days from Sizhou to Licheng.

Chen Ling put down the tableware and said softly, "Put it away."

The waiter should be.

***

Outside the ten-mile pavilion, Sheng Wenyu was already waiting.

When I arrived in the morning, I thoroughly inspected the surroundings to confirm that there would be no mistakes, and then patrolled every half an hour to ensure that there were no hidden dangers.

There is a curved edge in Fengcheng.

Although Qu Bianying is a woman, she is the granddaughter of General Qu. She grew up with General Qu since she was a child, and she was familiar with her, so she brought the old general's composure in her actions. Do it for Qubian Ying. Ziyiwei is a sharp sword in the hands of the emperor, so the emperor will use the sharp blade of Ziyiwei, and he will also use the person who can hold it.

Qu Bianying is not a man, but he does not lose to a man.

Qu Bianying just lacked the experience of marching and fighting, but Ziyiwei was not originally a garrison, but a sharp blade in the hands of the emperor.

Bianying is good at it.

Qu Bianying went to pick it up, Fengcheng was stable.

Sheng Wenyu looked up at the sky, it was almost dusk, it should be coming.

Sheng Wenyu asked Ziyiwei next to him to inquire, and after a while Ziyiwei turned back, "Master Hou, General Qu is here."

Sheng Wenyu was able to lead troops to fight in the first place, but listening to the movement in front of him, he could almost judge that there were no more than a hundred cavalry. Among them, Qu Bianying was accompanied by a hundred horsemen, so Cang Yue East Palace brought dozens of people?

Sheng Wenyu was surprised.

When the sound of horse hooves gradually progressed, the oncoming team could be clearly seen. If you look at it from a distance, you can almost see Ziyiwei, so there are not many people around Cang Yue East Palace.

Sheng Wenyu stepped forward, and it was Qu Bianying who was riding at the head of the team. Seeing Sheng Wenyu stepping forward, Qu Bianying tightened the reins and stopped, nodding to him, the Ziyi guard behind Qu Bianying and Cang Yue's guards all stopped. .

Near the escort's carriage was a dark guard wearing a blue-faced fang mask. One of the dark guards said to the carriage, "Your Highness, the Marquis of Jianping."

The carriage slowly stopped, and Sheng Wenyu saluted, "Sheng Wenyu has been ordered by Emperor Heng to come to greet His Highness."

As soon as the voice fell, the people in the carriage stretched out their hands lazily and raised the curtains, "It's time to work, Marquis of Jianping."

Sheng Wenyu couldn't help but look up, just in time to see the corner of Bo Jin's mouth pulling, "Is Your Majesty Heng okay?"

Sheng Wenyu replied, "His Royal Highness remembers, Your Majesty Antai has been waiting for His Highness in Sizhou City."

"Then let's go, don't let His Majesty wait for a long time." Bai Jin smiled, as leisurely as the breeze and the moon.

Sheng Wenyu responded.

When Sheng Wenyu got on his horse, he rode in parallel with Qu Bianying.

When he saw Bo Jin just now, Sheng Wenyu could see clearly that there were really only more than 30 cavalry on his side, and each face wore a mask with blue-faced fangs, but the colors and patterns were different, especially those close to him, the masks were all Be terrifying.

Sheng Wenyu is a person who leads troops to fight, and you can see the skills of these people at a glance.

Sheng Wenyu and Qu Bianying rode ahead on horseback, and the Cang Yue Dark Guard behind them was still some distance away.

"Going smoothly?" Sheng Wenyu asked.

Qubian smiled, "Smooth, no wind and no waves."

"Where's Your Majesty?" Qu Bianying also asked.

Sheng Wenyu nodded.

Qu Bian Yuguang glanced behind him, and said again, "Cang Yue East Palace, isn't it different from what you imagined?"

The two have been acquainted with each other since childhood, and Sizhou, who came from Beijing together, has discussed Cang Yue East Palace in private. She said that it might be fierce and mighty, while Sheng Wenyu guessed a plot of power, which is why Qu Bianying asked the question just now. That sentence.

Sheng Wenyu smiled and didn't answer.

No matter how skilled these thirty or so riders are, if you can bring more than thirty riders to the city of Sizhou, this Cang Yue Donggong has extraordinary courage and is not easy to deal with.

He was thinking of the Son of Heaven.

...

In the garden, Chen Ling looked at the book, and the inner court hurriedly entered, "Your Majesty, the East Palace is here."

She is the master and the other is the guest; both are kings, but Bo Jin is the heir; among the neighboring countries, Cang Yue is the upper country. Many etiquettes are equal, and Chen Ling wants to welcome them, but he cannot respect them.

Chen Ling got up and slowly put down the book.

Sheng Wenyu had already welcomed Bo Jin into the room.

"I have seen His Majesty Emperor Heng."

This is the first time that Chen Ling has seen Bo Jin. Although there is not much difference in age, it is not the same as the Bo Jin he imagined. She thought it would be long-standing, deep and introverted, but instead she was clear and handsome. Having seen herself, Qu Bianying thought of graceful and graceful.

In particular, the sound has both the stability of the morning bell and the evening drum, and the gentleness of the jade. There is both the majesty of the emperor and the gentleness, but there is a little blandness in the gentleness, and it also hides the sharpness of jade.

It's really hard to deal with.

Chen Ling also said warmly, "His Royal Highness has come from a long way, and it is full of brilliance."
