Hidden Sky Light

Chapter 7: reunion

At first, she was a little afraid of being among the refugees. These refugees were all Yucheng who came to the city after suffering from disaster. When you are excited, you are not sure what will happen.

With the Son of Heaven mixed in, Mama Fang was inevitably worried, so she could only stay there to protect her, for fear of what would happen again.

After being separated from General Shi and the Crown Prince last night, the thirty-odd people who followed them rode to the point where there were only a few people left. Fortunately, the emperor was alert and let the refugees infiltrate, thus avoiding King Tan's going back and forth against the party. search.

I finally arrived at Yucheng around dusk, but seeing the darkness of the refugees in front of me, Mother Fang's heart was suspended again.

"Do you want someone to enter the city with a token of the Son of Heaven and let the garrison in the city pick them up?" In the crowd, Mother Fang looked around and whispered to Chen Ling.

Chen Ling said in a deep voice, "Don't be in a hurry, let someone inquire."

Mommy Fang accidentally went to Yucheng Castle...

Chen Ling knew in his heart that it was because he had arrived at the city of Yucheng that he had to be careful to sail the Wannian Ship...

They were at the back end of the refugee team, and they didn't know the current situation, so they rushed into the city for fear of being imprisoned.

Their accent is not the accent in the southeast of Fuyang County, and it is easy to be heard by others. It is the first priority to let the guards find a way to get in front of them to hear the news.

Three days have passed, not less than this moment.

Chen Ling called the guard beside him, and the guard pretending to be a refugee pressed forward.

There were so many people around, it was inconvenient for Chen Ling to talk about it in detail with Mommy Fang.

Mother Fang also knows that the emperor will not be in a hurry. Mother Fang trusts the emperor. The emperor has a delicate mind and has always been calm. There must be other plans in such a chaotic situation...

Seeing that the sun was setting a little bit, and the evening was coming to an end.

When night fell, the refugee team outside the city began to riot slowly...

Madam Fang couldn't help but get closer to Chen Ling.

Not only is she afraid that others will crowd her, but she is also more and more worried that these refugees will cause trouble.

The person who went to inquire about the news has not returned yet. The longer it takes, the more unstable Fang Fang feels, and she endured it for a while, and finally she couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you still waiting? Unsettled outside."

They are all starving people who have suffered from the disaster. If something happens, they are afraid that the garrison in the city will expel them...

Chen Ling clenched Aunt Fang's hand, "We went around the city for half a day before arriving at Yucheng. I don't know the situation of Yucheng. What if Tan Jin's people entered the city first and waited for the rabbit?"

Mommy Fang sucked in a breath of cold air.

Just in time, the guards of the Imperial Army who had just squeezed in front squeezed back in the crowd, and Chen Ling said in a low voice, "We'll talk about it later."

Mommy Fang nodded.

The guards gathered in one place and separated the surrounding refugees from a small gap. The guard just now lowered his voice and said, "I have inquired, there are too many refugees outside the city, and a fixed number of refugees will be brought into the city every day to avoid riots in the city. Basically, it will be released every three hours, and a batch will be released in half an hour, and the number of each batch is about four or five hundred people."

Chen Ling looked around. There were at least two or three thousand people here. There were still a steady stream of refugees, but even if there was a commotion outside the city, there was no chaos. The rules for accepting refugees in the city were clear. Even if it takes a long time, you can definitely enter the city, but you can't enter the city when you have trouble...

The person in charge of Yucheng is very powerful, but there are many local officials, and she can't match who it is.

This person must be bold and careful, and can be reused.

Chen Ling put away his thoughts, and the guard continued, "From this morning to the evening, all people entering and leaving the city are the garrison in the city, and there is no turmoil in the city..."

That's what she wanted to know.

Tan Jin was so anxious to intercept her earlier, because he was afraid that she would enter Yucheng, indicating that the garrison in Yucheng did not obey Tan Jin.

She hesitated because of the extra half-day, with Tan Jin's careful thought, maybe he would do something in Yucheng. She was not sure, but since she had doubts, she couldn't take it lightly.

Right now, there is no other garrisoned troops entering the city in batches, and there is no turmoil in the city. It is preliminarily inferred that the city is temporarily safe...

More, you can't inquire outside the city, you can only find a way to infiltrate the city and explore the truth...

Chen Ling said in a low voice, "Come into the city first and see if there is anything abnormal in the official residence."

The embargo should be fine.

There are currently about two or three thousand refugees outside the city, and this group of four or five hundred people entered, Chen Ling and Fang Ma and others went to the middle of the team.

Just stuck in the next batch and the next batch of teams entering the city, the shortest is three hours, and the longest can enter the city before dawn tomorrow.

not long...

Chen Ling didn't speak much, and listened carefully to the speeches of the refugees beside him.

The accents of the refugees are roughly the same, and they are all in the southeastern part of Fuyang County.

Later, when you enter the city gate, someone will check it, issue a pass number, and simply ask about the situation.

Chen Ling concentrated his attention.

On one side, Mommy Fang saw that her lips were pale, and she remembered that since last night, she hadn't eaten or drank a sip of water.

Mommy Fang suddenly remembered that the prince had stuffed a candy for her on the carriage. She put it in her sleeve and should still be there.

Mommy Fang looked around, it's just such a small piece of candy, it shouldn't be...

Mother Fang stretched out her hand, but Chen Ling pressed her hand back, "Mother Fang!"

Calling "Mother Fang" is a reminder.

Mommy Fang returned to her senses, she saw that the emperor's lips turned white...

Knowing that she was worried, Chen Ling said softly, "Let's talk after entering the city."

Madam Fang could only nod her head.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the refugee team at the rear, as if they were crowding and pushing each other. Suddenly, many people were affected, and suddenly, the rear end of the team began to be chaotic.

As soon as there was confusion, there were collisions and stampedes, and the guards immediately protected Chen Ling and Fang Mae behind them.

Because the movement was so loud, the garrison was alerted.

There were clashes and stampedes in the crowd, there were cries, shouts, and movements of hands, and in the end it really turned into turmoil...

Mother Fang was frightened, and Chen Ling's expression changed slightly, and she said to the guard, "Go forward as much as possible while the chaos is in progress."

She is worried that this wave of homeless people will be in chaos, and Yucheng will temporarily close the entrance to the city.

Sure enough, when the garrison stepped forward, in addition to stopping the chaos, it also separated the refugee team from it. And Chen Ling and several people were just drawn in the middle part of the front end. Originally, they were stuck between the positions of the first batch and the second batch of entering the city, but now, they should be able to enter the city when they arrive.

Chen Ling's face softened slightly.

After the scene just now, I heard that the chaos just now was because someone among the refugees took out half of the cake and was looted immediately, and they didn't care about anything when they grabbed it.

Pushing, bumping, stamping, and finally turmoil...

Mother Fang was frightened when she heard it, and she was afraid to look at Chen Ling.

If Chen Ling didn't stop her, they might be involved in the whirlpool.

Chen Ling didn't pay attention to Mother Fang's expression. After the riot just now, it was almost midnight. There were sporadic movements at the gate of the city. It should have happened just now. , to avoid too many people outside the city, regeneration turmoil.

"Remember the accent." Chen Ling saw that the city gate was slowly opening, and the refugees filed in. They were strictly stopped by the garrison in the city, and they were numbered one by one to enter.

When entering the city, Chen Ling took the hand of Mother Fang and pretended to be a mother and son.

The garrison guarding the city simply asked a few questions, and seeing that there was no difference, they let Chen Ling and Fang Momo in.

Mommy Fang was relieved.

Chen Ling held Aunt Fang, lowered her head, and rushed to the resettlement with the refugees beside her.

***

At dawn, Shen Ci turned back with Han Guan.

When Shen Ci turned back, A Nian was already sleeping on Guo Zixiao's back.

Shen Ci glanced at A Nian, his eyes froze, thinking of Chen Ling's earlier time...

"General!" Guo Zixiao was afraid of waking up the prince, so he could only whisper, "Has the prince fallen?"

Shen Ci just came back to his senses, and Han Guan kept shaking his head behind him.

Shen Ci remained silent.

They just turned back from outside the city. Even if Chen Ling pretended to be a refugee, he could recognize it. He had seen it outside the city, and there was no trace of Chen Ling.

Chen Ling is either in the city or somewhere else...

There are still King Tan's minions on the road, indicating that Chen Ling has not fallen into the hands of King Tan, and King Tan's people are still looking for him.

Chen Ling rushed into the city before they arrived, and it is very likely that he had already entered the city of Yucheng among the refugees...

He's going to Yuki to find him.

But before that, he had to put the prince in a safe place...

"Go to Lizhen and abandon the horse." Shen Ci stepped forward, Guo Zixiao had been with him for many years, and had a tacit understanding, Shen Ci stepped forward, and Guo Zixiao put the prince on his back.

Han Guan and Guo Zixiao looked at each other. Originally, they were going to Lizhen this time.

Lizhen is Lao Qi's hometown, and they originally wanted to visit...

Shen Ci has carried A Nian on his back and walked in front.

Lizhen is very close to Yucheng, just north of Yucheng. Because of its special location, there are very few people passing by. It is clean and famous for its embroidery craftsmanship. However, there are very few people who go there.

Abandoning the horse, others will not follow the vine to find Lizhen.

This is to place the prince in Lizhen...

Several people from Han Guan quickly followed, but they were still used to maintaining a dispersed and alert formation.

In the turbulence, A Nian woke up in a daze.

With sleepy eyes, I found myself lying on the warm and steady back, not Uncle Zixiao, but Uncle Shen? !

Anian woke up and said excitedly, "Uncle Shen!"

"Awake?" Shen Ci said warmly.

"Uncle Shen, you found my father..." A Nian suddenly remembered something and lowered his voice, "Uncle Shen, have you found my father?"

Shen Ci was stunned for a moment, and said softly, "Not yet."

A Nian seemed a little disappointed.

In his heart, Uncle Shen was omnipotent, and Uncle Zixiao also told him that the general would definitely be able to bring His Majesty back.

Hearing that the glutinous rice **** on his back were silent, Shen Ci said softly, "Your Highness, let's go to a safe place first, and when I come back, Your Highness will be able to see His Majesty..."

"Really?" A Nian suddenly regained his senses.

"Well." Shen Ci said softly and firmly, "Your Highness, I am afraid it will take longer this time. Your Highness must be patient and listen to the words of the people around me, so that I can find Your Majesty with peace of mind."

A Nian lay on his back, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Nian Nian is obedient..."

Shen Ci's mouth twitched slightly. .

"Uncle Shen, the beginning of the sun!" A Nian sat upright on his back.

Shen Ci suddenly felt how familiar this scene was.

- "Zi An, the beginning of the day!"

- "Didn't you just see it yesterday?"

- "Yesterday's is not the same as today's..."

Shen Ci's eyes sank slightly.

Ah Nian lay back on his back again, put his head on his shoulder, and looked at him seriously, "Uncle Shen Ci..."

Shen Ci collected his thoughts, "What's wrong?"

A Nian whispered, "If you see my father, can you help me hug him first? Just tell him, Nian Nian hug him..."

Shen Ci was slightly stagnant, "Why...why?"

Anian replied in a milky voice, "Because every time I'm afraid, he will hug me, so I'm not afraid anymore; if you hug him for me, he won't be afraid anymore."

Shen Ci: "…"

Anian looked at him, "Uncle Shen, are you okay?"

After a long time, Shen Ci said in a deep voice, "Okay."

***

For the convenience of management, the resettlement house is located in the west of the city.

The government office specially set aside a space for temporary resettlement of refugees. There are many refugees in the resettlement, but there are also many troops stationed there, so there is no chaos.

From entering the city to the west of the city, and then to a series of cumbersome arrangements, it is almost time to wait until you can really settle down and rest.

The people who had entered to inquire before had not returned, so Chen Ling did not dare to go to the official residence rashly, so he waited temporarily at the resettlement place.

The mind and body were extremely tense all day and night. Chen Ling was so sleepy that she leaned on Mammy Fang's side to fall asleep. Mammy Fang did not dare to wake her up.

Chen Ling was so sleepy that she fell asleep, and soon, Mommy Fang heard her whispering, softly calling "A Nian"...

Fang mama knew that she didn't say anything, but she was worried about the prince in her heart.

They are still in such a difficult time, I wonder if the Prince is safe with General Shi?

Mommy Fang raised her eyebrows.

This road is full of dangers, I don't know when to wait, and who can be considered safe?

***

At dawn, the sky was white with fish belly, and Mommy Fang couldn't bear to close her eyes. There were guards watching on one side, so it was safe.

Around the hour, the refugee resettlement slowly began to return to the bustling crowd. It was about right that the forbidden army who had infiltrated the city earlier came back.

"Master's house..." Fang Mama called out.

Chen Ling didn't close his eyes until Yin Shi, and when he was half asleep and half awake, he was called by Fang Mo, and he immediately opened his eyes with bloodshot eyes.

It was the imperial guard who had entered the city earlier.

Chen Ling suddenly became refreshed, "How is it?"

The guard replied, "I stayed in the official residence for a night without seeing anything different. From last night to this morning, all the people in the official residence were going in and out normally. The last general... also saw General Qu Guang Tong Qu."

"Refractory Tong?" Chen Ling was surprised, and it should not be here.

Chen Ling hesitated, "Did you read it wrong?"

The guard shook his head, "You can't be wrong. The last commander has seen General Qu and won't admit his mistake."

Chen Ling sighed in his heart, Qu Guangtong held a garrison of Lingbei in his hand, if Qu Guangtong was also in Yucheng, it would be more stable.

Chen Ling didn't say anything, but he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"How long does it take to get to the official residence from here?" Chen Ling asked.

The guard replied, "It's almost half an hour, and I can be there around noon."

Chen Ling looked at Mother Fang, "Mother Fang, you wait here first, and I'll have someone pick you up when it's safe."

Madam Fang nodded, "Master, be careful."

Around noon, Chen Ling and several guards arrived near the official residence. The guards confirmed the safety of the surrounding area, and only one of them entered the official residence to test.

Chen Ling didn't dare to get too far, and just waited in an inconspicuous place in the street. You can go to the official residence at any time, and you can leave in time.

As time passed, it was fake that Chen Ling was not nervous. He had already arrived at Yucheng, and he had been cautious, but when the servants entered for a while, no one came out.

A little cold sweat oozes out from Chen Ling's palms, and a bad premonition floods into his heart.

Not right.

Her people are very cautious, knowing that she has waited for so long and will try to notify her, but now that people enter the official residence, they will sink into the sea.

"Master, it's been a long time, I'm afraid there's something weird, the master will leave first, and I will wait here at the end. If it is safe, please return to the master." Another guard also said.

"Go." Chen Ling turned around.

But as soon as I turned around, I saw not only people coming out of the official residence, but also many people looking for them along both sides of the street.

will meet!

Chen Ling was in a cold sweat.

"The master goes first, I'll lead people away." Another guard said.

Chen Ling and the remaining two people by his side speeded up their pace and shuttled through the alley. Although he didn't know what was going on, he could clearly feel that there was a side issue.

The people around her are cautious, her identity may not be exposed, as long as she is not exposed, others will not know that she is in the city.

Chen Ling walked quickly.

In his thoughts, the guard suddenly said, "The master is General Qu."

Refractive?

Not far behind are the people who were just looking for them everywhere. In front of them were dozens of guards accompanied by Qu Guangtong. Chen Ling felt a little relieved, but fortunately met Qu Guangtong!

But the people behind him quickened their pace and came after them. After the two guards were cut off, Chen Ling went to the same place of refraction.

But when Chen Ling passed the alley beside her, someone suddenly reached out and dragged her into the alley. She wanted to speak out, but the other party reached out and covered her mouth.

Chen Ling's panic was only for a moment, the familiar breath made her freeze, and she forgot to move...

Shen Ci dragged her back to the corner, squatted down, and quickly pulled the bamboo basket on one side to cover it, and said in a low voice, "Don't make a sound, Qu Guang is also from Tan Jin."
