Hidden Sky Light

Chapter 20: king and minister

Ah Nian is very heavy, and it is a little difficult for Chen Ling to hold him on weekdays.

A dress appeared, which seemed to be heavier.

Shen Ci put away his thoughts and stepped forward quickly, "I'll hug."

Chen Ling hummed softly.

Shen Ci took A Nian from her arms. Chen Ling was afraid of waking him up, so he bowed a little. Shen Ci saw the gleaming white on the back of her neck again, and her ears couldn't help but turn red, so she avoided her eyes, "Go up. The carriage."

Chen Ling didn't know, so it should be fine.

"There is Deng Weng." Both Shen Ci and Chen Ling said goodbye to Deng Weng, and Deng Weng looked at Xiao A Nian, who was lying on Shen Ci's shoulder, frowning while sleeping, and was a little reluctant.

It should be the same age when the little grandson left.

Dumbledore glanced at it and said gently, "Let's go, don't be late."

It was cold in the morning, Shen Ci hugged A Nian and got on the carriage first, while Chen Ling stayed at the end.

"Deng Weng, I leave this to you." Chen Ling stepped forward and handed the bamboo grasshopper in his hand to Deng Weng. When eating Yangchun noodles last night, Deng Weng looked at the bamboo grasshopper in Anian's hand for a long time, although he did not speak. , but Chen Ling could see it and guess that it should be Deng Weng's grandson earlier.

Deng Weng's eyes were a little bit, and his hands trembled slightly when he took it, "Thank you, Master."

Chen Ling said warmly, "Deng Weng take care."

Chen Ling knew that he should not meet in the future.

Deng Weng nodded, "Master, take care."

After Chen Ling got on the carriage, Uncle Fu drove the carriage slowly away from the village.

Looking at Chen Ling again, he seemed to be getting used to it. Except for changing into women's clothes, his demeanor and tone were the same as before, which should be an expedient measure for safety on the road.

In the carriage, A Nian slept peacefully in Shen Ci's arms, and was used to reaching out and hanging on the back of Shen Ci's neck.

Chen Ling got on the carriage, and Shen Ci lowered his head to avoid Chen Ling's gaze, not daring to look any further.

Last night and today, Chen Ling put on some light makeup, so it was Chen Ling, but I couldn't tell that it was the original Chen Ling. It was clearly the same person, but they had two completely different looks. That mask should be safe.

It's just that Chen Ling who looks like this is still a little uncomfortable.

He raised his head and glanced at her, and saw that she was holding the grass clippings on the embroidered shoes with her head down. It should have been in Deng Wengyuan just now. Because her head was lowered, her eyes were slightly drooping, her eyelashes were overturned, and the spring was hidden. dash.

Before she was about to look up, he withdrew his gaze in time and did not let her see it.

But thinking that she has to wear women's clothes all the way, Shen Ci's eyes don't know where to put...

Chen Ling also clearly noticed that Shen Ci's words were less. When he was on the carriage, he basically kept silent, and would deliberately avoid her eyes.

Finally, Chen Ling couldn't help, "Shen Zi'an!"

Shen Cicai had to look at her - the familiar eyes in his eyes, wise and sharp, and his voice was the same as before, but if he was serious, he carried the majesty of a king.

Chen Ling said in a deep voice, "Do you want to be used to me dressing up as a woman, come by yourself?"

Shen Ci: "…"

Chen Ling looked at him, "Shen Ci, how long are you going to be awkward?"

Shen Ci swallowed softly, and said, "I was thinking about the garrison last night..."

Chen Ling paused slightly.

Shen Ci continued, "Did you see that we met the garrison last night at the herbal tea shop at noon?"

It was Chen Ling's turn to have an accident, noon? Herbal tea shop?

Chen Ling had the impression that the 20 or 30 garrisoned troops he met at the herbal tea shop were all from the Tanzhou garrison from Huaicheng.

At that time, she was afraid of making the other party suspicious, so she deliberately avoided it.

Last night in the swimming village, the atmosphere was a little tense, almost to the point of tension. She was afraid that Shen Ci would conflict with the garrison holding torches, and was anxious to change herself and Anian into women's clothes, but she didn't pay much attention to the others...

If it was the same group of people, it would be too coincidental!

The two sections of the road at noon and at night were deliberately chosen out of the way, and they met twice in a row, and they didn't seem to be related to each other...

Moreover, Chen Ling had the impression that they were obviously going to Qucheng to deliver the letter, so why did they suddenly detour to Yong Village to search for people?

Shen Ci said, "I confirm that they are the same group of people. I remember several of them and will not admit their mistakes. But it was too late last night, and I was afraid that A Nian would be intimidated, so I didn't go into details. They went door to door last night to find them. Man, Ling, I think we might have thought wrong before..."

When Shen Ci talked about important matters, he didn't notice that the name in his mouth was changed to A Ling.

He didn't notice it himself, but Chen Ling clearly heard it, but didn't interrupt it.

Shen Ci always called her A Ling, even if he was in the East Palace later, he would call her His Royal Highness in front of others, but when others were not around, he always called A Ling.

This title is very familiar to Shen Ci, so familiar that he didn't react to it, she is now the Son of Heaven...

Chen Ling retracted his gaze and continued to listen to him, "We all thought yesterday that these garrisoned troops were sent to Qucheng to deliver the letter, and we also thought that this news must be very important, so to be on the safe side, let 20 or 30 garrison send the letter together, not Take the carrier pigeons. But last night they suddenly appeared in Yong Village to find people, and they couldn't make any sense. Since they were sending letters, why did they take a detour instead of taking a shortcut? But if we thought wrong earlier, they didn't go to Qucheng to deliver the letter, but It is to send people to Qucheng, but if they are lost near Yong Village, it all makes sense..."

Chen Ling's thoughts also followed Shen Ci's words.

"With so many garrisoned troops, the people who are going to be sent to Qucheng are inconspicuous among the garrison, and no one will doubt it, so this group of people, like us, chose a remote road to hide their eyes and ears. Yesterday noon, I was there. The stables heard the garrison complaining about going to Qucheng to deliver the letter, which shows that not many of the garrison knew the truth. But it happened that the person they were escorting escaped on the way and was near the swimming village, so they had to investigate the whole village, and then again Because this matter is kept secret and cannot be talked about, it can only be searched in one place and not made public... At that time, they searched and avoided you and Anian directly, indicating that the people they were searching for were the people who were in the garrison before, so they were familiar with it. , know it's not you."

Chen Ling's eyes were slightly stagnant, so it made sense, but there was one more point, "How do you know it's an escort?"

Shen Ci smiled and said, "It's not an escort, why is he running? I'm with you, do you need to run?"

Chen Ling: "…"

After a while, Chen Ling sighed softly, "This comparison is inappropriate, don't use me as a metaphor."

Shen Ci stopped joking, and continued, "There is one more thing, the leaders of the garrison yesterday should have recognized me, so they avoided it everywhere for fear of conflict with me. But even if they avoided it, they risked conflict with me and the Shen family. It means that this person is very important, but he can’t make a statement, he can’t run away halfway, and he has to find him. So I’m thinking… Who are the secret escorts of this group of garrisoned troops?”

When listening to Shen Ci's words, Chen Ling kept putting his arms around his arms, looking down at a certain place and thinking.

After Shen Ci finished speaking, Chen Ling tacitly replied, "This group of garrisoned troops started from Huaicheng, which means that when Huaicheng was captured, Tan Jin brought this person with him, and this person also stayed in Huaicheng. But Tan Jin took this person with him. When I entered Yucheng, I didn't take him with me, and let him stay in Huaicheng, so this group of garrisoned troops started from Huaicheng and sent people to Qucheng."

Shen Ci nodded, "Yes."

Chen Ling continued, "From Tan Jin's standpoint, when he led his troops to capture Huaicheng, he was confident that I was definitely in Huaicheng; but later, although he guessed that I was in Yucheng, he was not sure that I was definitely there, so he went to Yucheng. When I was in the city, I didn't rashly take this person with me... Now, the longer I disappear, the more Tan Jin is actually unsure of where I am and whether he can find me in the end, so he sent this person away. Qucheng... Zi'an, Tan Jin is doing both preparations."

After Chen Ling finished speaking, she looked at Shen Ci.

Shen Ci also seemed to suddenly want to understand.

Chen Ling added, "And what's interesting is that the garrison was fine when they met us at noon, but in the evening, the people they escorted suddenly fled and went from house to house near Yong Village. I think, this person I saw you and me in the herbal tea shop at noon, and recognized you and me, so I ran away."

Chen Ling took a deep breath and said softly, "I guess who this person is..."

Shen Ci looked at her in surprise.

Chen Ling said firmly, "My second brother, Chen Xian."

Shen Ci was surprised.

Chen Ling sighed lightly, "No wonder Tan Jin attacked Huaicheng so decisively that day. Once Huaicheng was captured, he could rely on the emperor to make the princes, and use me to deal with Chen Xiuyuan and Jingping Palace. But if I don't listen to him , with Chen Xian around, he will kill me first, then help Chen Xian come to power, let Chen Xian be his puppet, and then let Chen Xian abdicate after he has dealt with Jingping Houfu and other forces hostile to Tanzhou in the future. ."

Shen Ci sighed in his heart, Tan Jin's work was really leak-proof, and Chen Xian was left behind for a long time.

Chen Ling continued, "But he didn't expect that I wasn't in Huaicheng, and he didn't find me, so Chen Xian couldn't take out this card for a long time, because he was afraid that Chen Xiuyuan would know that he would be prepared, so he took Chen Xian to God. I unknowingly sent it to Qucheng. I haven't figured out why it was Qucheng. But Chen Xian was afraid of me. I told him that if I saw him again in the future, I would kill him. He was used to being timid. He was also encouraged by the advisors around him. This time Tan Jin found him, but he might not be willing. Yesterday, he should have seen me and you and was so scared that he ran away..."

Chen Lingyu's eyelashes lightly blinked, "Right now, I can't take care of Chen Xian anymore, he runs faster than a rabbit, the garrison may not be able to find him, and he won't appear by himself. After a few days, Tan Jin will There was a fire in the backyard, and Chen Xian didn't dare to show up..."

Shen Ci said in a deep voice, "I heard that Tan Jin's son and grandson were in the army with him when I was in Huaicheng. How could there be a fire in the backyard?"

Chen Ling said mildly, "Tan Jin also has a nephew named Tan Weiming. Tan Mingwei has always had conflicts with Tan Jin, and was marginalized by Tan Jin to Meizhou. Wu sent the letter to Meizhou, and told Tan Weiming that the ancestors of the Tan family received kindness, and his grandfather named Tan Jin as the king of different surnames. This kindness belongs to the Tan family, not Tan Jin. The Tan family wants to keep this kindness, Or complicit in conspiracy to ruin the reputation of the ancestors, let him choose... Tan Jin is conceited, and conceited people often look down on people who are inferior to him, especially those under his own eyes. Tan Jin underestimates Tan Weiming, and he will fall for Tan Weiming. "

Shen Ci looked at Chen Ling, and Chen Ling also looked at him, "I also asked Xiao Wu to send a letter to Cao Zhidu, Huo Lianqu, Chu Pingyu, An Yunbai, they will definitely come to the rescue, and there will be someone with Tan Weiming. Disrupting Tanzhou and making Tan Jin the enemy, as long as these few days pass, it's just a matter of time..."

Shen Ci looked at Chen Ling, and suddenly realized that Chen Ling in front of him, whether it was a woman's clothes or not, was the emperor who strategized.

is the king.

It was no longer the old Chen Ling whose fingertips were scratched by branches, and the tip of his nose was reddish, and he could not walk.

And he, like Cao Zhidu, Huo Lianqu, Chu Pingyu, An Yunbai...

They are all servants of the king.

Shen Ci lowered his eyes lightly, monarch, minister, minister.

It happened that Ah Nian woke up in his arms and moved. It should be that he was hotter than Chen Ling. Ah Nian was sweating a little. Chen Ling stepped forward and said, "I'll hug him for a while."

Shen remarks should be fine.

Chen Ling stood up, leaned over in front of him and hugged Ah Nian, the blue silk was slanting, just brushing against his face, he couldn't avoid it, so he had to turn his face...

It's just that A Nian fell asleep and suddenly kicked Chen Ling's arm. He stretched out his hand to support Chen Ling's arm and looked up at her, "Are you alright?"

"It's okay." Chen Ling just looked back, and his lips just touched her cheek.

Both were stunned.

He forgot to let go.
