MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 124 chase
One evening in February, apricot blossoms drizzle lightly, and shadows sparse at dusk.
A low-key carriage was escorted by a group of entourages dressed in black outfits with bright eyes. The black horse that opened the way was Shen Ying, the personal attendant of the Crown Princess Qin Yan. The group entered Shangjing City and went straight to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to the west of the imperial city.
Last year, Shen Shiying and Emperor Beiliang entered Daxia, and they bought road leads through the black market, and they brought with them not many followers. This time, Shen Shiying brought hundreds of people into the country, and these people have special identities. Therefore, Qin Yan sent someone to personally bring the documents issued by the Prince's Mansion to meet Shen Shiying at the port where Shen Shiying entered to ensure his smooth passage.
But after Shen Shiying arrived, he did not go directly to Shangjing, but went to Jiangnan, and made a lot of noise.
Shen Shiying lost some manpower in Jiangnan, and some subordinates are still performing tasks, so there are only a hundred people who followed Shen Shiying to Beijing this time.
Outside the main entrance of the Zhenguo Gongfu, Shen Shiyan held the excited Fang Su and waited quietly.
As the sound of chariots and horses approached, the group finally arrived.
Shen Ying dismounted first and saluted Shen Shiyan and Fang Su.
Then the carriage stopped, and a tall and graceful woman wrapped in a brocade and feather satin cloak walked out.
After the woman got off the car, she stood where she was and looked at Shen Shiyan and Fang Su with a smile.
Shen Shiying is in her mid-thirties this year, but she doesn't look like she's twenty-seven or eighty-eight.
Fang Su covered her lips with one hand, and burst into tears in excitement.
"Shiying." Fang Su walked over quickly, reaching out to hold Shen Shiying's hand, but suddenly stopped.
Will Shi Ying feel abrupt...
"Sister-in-law." Shen Shiying smiled, stretched out her arms to hug Fang Su, and looked at Shen Shiyan behind Fang Su.
"Sink stone."
This long-lost call made both Shen Shiyan and Fang Su feel sour.
Shen Shiyan's throat choked, and his voice trembled.
"You still know how to come back."
The few people did not chat too much at the door, and entered the mansion.
And several groups of people who had been watching for many days outside the township mansion, the news that Shen Shiying was about to return to the township mansion was spread back.
------
"what!"
"Beiliang Chi training army!"
Shen Shiyan stood up abruptly and looked in shock at Shen Shiying, who was sitting on the large chair opposite him, with a lazy and relaxed posture.
In the main hall of the Duke's Mansion, apart from Shen Ci, who was sent to the northwest, the family finally gathered for the first time in more than ten years.
But... at the moment, the prince Feng Zhan, who is still in the south study room of the imperial city...
Grandson-in-law, not a family?
Fang Su reached out and tugged at her husband's cuff.
"Be quiet, I'm scared Shi Ying."
Shen Shiyan stroked Xia Su's hand, her eyes still fixed on Shen Shiying's calm face.
"Beiliang South Territory, the commander-in-chief of the Chi-Lian Army with 400,000 troops, General Ghost Face!"
"So capable, can you scare her?"
Fang Su got up and grabbed Shen Shiyan's arm, pressed him back to the seat, and then passed the tea cup on the side table to Shen Shiyan, half persuading and half forcing him to drink it.
Shen Changshan, the Duke of Zhen, sat up on his head, his brows narrowed slightly, as if he was contemplating.
Qin Yan, who was sitting next to Shen Shiying, was not too surprised by the news. After learning that her mother had an unusual relationship with Emperor Beiliang, she had some guesses based on some news about Beiliang she had obtained before.
The Beiliang Chi-Lian Army rose up in the southern border of Beiliang about seven or eight years ago, but its predecessor was a powerful border bandit. Later, it was recruited by the Beiliang court and became a regular army with an independent designation and complete organization.
There are rumors that the bandit leader before Chi Lianjun was recruited, and the coach after that are the same person, a woman wearing a blue-faced and fangs mask, known as the ghost-faced general.
It turned out that the ghost-faced general who made people feel fearful was actually his mother.
Miss Shen is indeed capable.
------
Shen Shiyan took a sip of tea and calmed down a little, then looked at Shen Shiying and said:
"We, the Duke's Mansion, hold heavy troops and guard the northwestern border of Daxia from generation to generation."
"As a young lady of the Duke's Mansion, you actually went to another country to establish a frontier army."
"If this matter is spread out, it will immediately be included in a book by the Censor. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Duke of Zhenguo is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country."
What Shen Shiyan said was indeed the truth, and one had to be vigilant.
There was silence in the hall for a moment, and Shen Changshan, the Duke of Zhenguo, said:
"Beiliang South Territory..."
"Is it the neighboring country south of Beiliang, the Turks, that the Chi Lian army is mainly fighting against?"
When Shen Shiying heard the words, she put down the tea cup and nodded slightly to her father, Shen Changshan, as an admission.
"Hahahaha..." Shen Changshan slapped the side table with one palm and laughed heartily.
Shen Changshan stopped laughing, and spoke again, with a sound like a bell:
"Good, good, good."
"Holding an army of 400,000 people to contain the Turks in the southern border of Beiliang, my daughter was born to be a general."
"It's a pity that when you got married early, it delayed your talent."
"Back then, you and Qin Wenzheng had a bad marriage, and your father suggested you go to the Northwest. I originally planned to let you show off your skills in the army, but I didn't expect..."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall was a little sluggish.
Back then, when Shen Shiying and Qin Yan were attacked and fell off a cliff, they had nine deaths and one life, which was extremely dangerous. If they survived, it was a matter of fate and God's blessing.
And the people behind the scenes...
------
Qin Yan looked at Shen Shiying and asked:
"Mother's person chose the helm of Huayuelou?"
Qin Yan finished, and several people in the hall looked at Shen Shiying.
Shen Shiying put down the tea cup, leaned against the back of the chair, adjusted a comfortable posture, and said:
"In the past few years, I have traveled all over the country. It just so happened that there were bandits in our army, and there were also members of some killer organizations or enemies. I have heard a lot of true and false news."
"It has been verified that the killer who was in Ao Ling came from Huayuelou."
"Huayuelou?" Shen Shiyan interjected.
"A few days ago, snatching witnesses from the forbidden army to the killer organization that killed the witnesses and a dozen of the forbidden army?"
Qin Yan tapped on the table and spoke softly:
"In that case, Huayuelou Yuzhou Branch, who received the order, was ordered by the Prince's Mansion."
"Mother went to Jiangnan this time to drive out Huayuelou and kill them?"
Shen Shiying said lazily:
"It's a pity that some of the rest of the party ran away, and my people are chasing them."
"Those people have a lot of lives on their hands, so what's the point of death?"
Qin Yan raised her eyes to look at Shen Shiying:
"Can I find out that Ao Ling was the killer's employer?"
Shen Shiying sneered, killing intent flashed in her eyes,
"I really let me find someone."
------
Imperial City, Former Dynasty, South Study.
After the prince Feng Zhan sat on the book table, he held a volume of books and rubbed a white jade wrench with the other hand.
Song executive came in and saluted:
"Your Highness."
Feng Zhan raised his eyes and put down the book.
Song Zhi said:
"Jiangnan secret report, the one who just returned from the Zhenguo Gongfu sent someone to pick the helm of Huayuelou Jingzhou, and he is still chasing the rest of Huayuelou in Mandaxia."
Feng Zhan's hands stopped, and he said in a deep voice:
"What time is it?"
"His Royal Highness, it is the beginning of Hai." Song Zhi replied.
Feng Zhan got up, strode out of the south study room, got on the prince's frame, and was escorted by the prince's mansion's personal soldiers, and headed to the town's palace.
Song Zhi sneered in his heart.
His Highness the Crown Prince spent so long in the South Study today, just to wait for the Crown Princess to return to the mansion together...
------
Shen Shiying arranged for her entourage to go to the house Qin Yan gave her, leaving only a few people to live with her in the town's palace.
Of course, the guards outside the house that Qin Yan prepared for Shen Shiying were not only from Qin Yan, but also from the Prince's Mansion.
The people Shen Shiying brought back were from the Chilian Army in Beiliang, but they did not have permission to walk around the capital at will.
Qin Yan was about to leave when he reported:
"His Royal Highness is here."
It was not early, and the prince did not get off the bus, but just waited outside the palace.
Shen Shiying stopped Qin Yan and whispered in Qin Yan's ear:
"Have you used the booklet I gave you?"
Qin Yan glanced lightly at Miss Shen, who was smiling but not smiling, and spoke, but did not answer Shen Shiying's question:
"Those people, keep them all for you, you can do it yourself."
Shen Shiying's brows moved slightly, her daughter was really sensible and knowledgeable.
Enemy, you really have to do it yourself...
Qin Yan left behind these words, turned around and strode away.
The mother, perhaps a blessing in disguise, lived out herself.
However, can't she keep it?
------
Feng Zhan took the woman into his arms as soon as Qin Yan got in the car, Feng Zhan held Qin Yan's tender white earlobe and said in a low voice:
"If you don't come, you don't know you're going back to the manor? Huh?"
Feng Zhan's deep and mellow voice made Qin Yan's whole body feel numb, Qin Yan turned away from her slender and fair neck, and bit Feng Zhan's neck unwillingly. Qin Yan couldn't stand the cold night.
Half an hour later, the carriage was about to arrive at the main mansion of Xishan County. Feng Zhan was arranging Qin Yan's clothes. Qin Yan's eyes were as silk as silk, and he caressed Feng Zhan's slightly rolled Adam's apple.
"Has your Highness ever thought that behind Huayuelou, there may be people in the palace."
Feng Zhan's hands stopped for a while, his deep eyes fixed on Qin Yan's delicate little face, but he didn't respond.
Qin Yan continued to say slowly:
"My mother and I were chased and fell off a cliff back then, and the killer was someone from Huayuelou."
"More than ten years ago, Huayuelou dared to take over the business of assassinating the young lady of the Duke's Mansion, and the young lady of the prime minister's mansion. Not long ago, she dared to take orders to steal people from the forbidden army, and even killed a dozen of the forbidden army. ."
"It's hard not to guess that the people behind Huayuelou are not simple."
Qin Yan raised her eyes, a pair of phoenix eyes stared at Feng Zhan's deep black eyes, and continued:
"Ms. Shen's people are chasing the Huayuelou Yu Dang, and those killers have been around for a while, and the direction of their escape is Yizhou."
"Huayuelou is a killer organization and an intelligence organization. It has been entrenched in Daxia for more than ten years, and it is making money every day."
"I don't think that the king of Yizhou, who has always been cautious in his words and deeds, wishing to hide in the small land of Yizhou, has the courage."
"Your Highness, do you think it will be the one from Shou'an Palace?"
Feng Zhan's narrow eyes narrowed dangerously.
Yizhou?
Huayuelou is a Jianghu killer organization that has been banned repeatedly, and its members are mostly hidden in the seventy-two lines. It is very difficult for the imperial court to control it.
No matter who is behind Huayuelou, since Miss Shen has opened a hole, she can push the boat along the way and destroy it.
"Song Zhi." The prince said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Highness." Song Zhi heard the words and came over, he was forced to listen to the corner of the wall, and there was an unnatural blush in his ears.
The prince coldly ordered:
"In the name of the Prince's Mansion, a wanted order will be issued, and the entire Daxia will kill the remnants of Huayuelou."
-----
Shou'an Palace is forbidden in the imperial city.
Empress Dowager Xiao violently smashed the Canaan bracelet in her hand, which had been raised for many years, to the ground in the distance.
Xia Ying, who had just finished reporting the news, stood aside. At this moment, he didn't want to get up and let the Queen Mother vent her anger.
"Shen Shiying, Shen Shiying!"
"As soon as I come back, I will give this palace a show!"
The Empress Dowager Xiao seemed to be very angry, and her body was trembling slightly.
Xia Ying bowed her head and said in a low voice:
"The queen mother, the people of the Shen family can pursue and kill the perpetrators without hindrance in Daxia, I am afraid there is still the decentralization of the Prince's Mansion."
Empress Dowager Xiao's chest heaved and her eyes were fierce.
How could she not have thought of it.
Shen Shiying, Prince, Qin Yan.
Really when this palace is down?
