Chapter 451

"Who are you talking about?" Princess Huaizhen's eyes were dim, she just woke up, the sky was so dark, under the candlelight, Mistress Mo couldn't see her face clearly.

"It's Shen Guozhu, the son-in-law's master..." Officer Mo lowered her head and emphasized again.

Princess Huaizhen woke up a lot after hearing the word "son-in-law".She grabbed the quilt and asked:

"Is the son-in-law here too?"

"No, only Shen Guozhu is alone. He looks very anxious, and the servants dare not delay..."

Princess Huaizhen lowered her head and didn't speak or move. Officer Mo thought she was going to lose her temper and was just about to leave quietly.

I heard her say quietly: "Changing clothes."

Huaizhen knew that Xie Yuan's position in the court was very dangerous. He held a high position at a young age, not only would he be hated by many people, but also because he hurt Ma Shuo because he was fighting for him, he provoked Ma Guogong to target those who framed him everywhere. Things, she also knows.

She hated Xie Yuan with a helpless kind, but if anyone targeted him, she felt that she couldn't bear it.

Because she was worried about whether something bad happened to Xie Yuan again, she suppressed her temper that even disturbed her sleep.Frowning all the way in his fancy clothes, he went to the front hall to meet Shen Qingzhi.

When Father Shen saw her coming, he ignored the courtesy and said directly:
"Princess, please go into the palace. When you see the emperor's order to dispatch troops, Xie Yuan has gone out of the city to inspect the defense. Maybe he will use swords. Without the order, it is easy to be caught afterwards."

Princess Huaizhen was stunned for a moment, and asked:
"Now, in the middle of the night? He went out of the city to inspect the defense?"

"The incident happened suddenly. It was reported that someone was going to support King Xian to rebel. It is not clear who it is. The three camps outside the city had to prepare early, so he was let go." Father Shen said.

When Princess Huaizhen heard this, her expression seemed to be in a trance, and she went out directly, complaining:

"You are Ding Guozhu, don't you have the final say on this kind of thing? You can just write a decree, and you have to let His Majesty write it."

Shen Qingzhi didn't see whether she cared or didn't care, so he just followed her and said:

"Princess, don't you say that you are trapping the old minister in disloyalty?!... When it's my turn to make the decision, don't you always ask His Majesty for instructions, and His Majesty agrees to act according to the will?"

There is no lack of anxiety and grievance in the tone.

Princess Huaizhen snorted coldly, and dropped a sentence in a low voice:
"hypocritical!"

Shen Qingzhi was furious, thinking that this Huaizhen was used to being outspoken and arrogant, so he could say whatever he wanted.

In the past, when the old emperor was around, she could still restrain her for a while, but now that the old emperor is gone, she is even more casual.

But he couldn't say anything when he asked for help, so he pretended not to hear him and asked:

"Princess, can you help me with this?"

Princess Huaizhen suddenly stopped, turned around and said angrily:

"Didn't you see that I was walking outside?! If I didn't help you, what would I do in the middle of the night?!"

When Shen Qingzhi heard this, all the anger in his heart dissipated, he smiled happily, and said:
"Yes, yes, old minister is dull. Thank you, princess, thank you, princess..."

Princess Huaizhen rolled her eyes at him and said, "You don't need to thank me? I'm helping my own son-in-law!"

Shen Qingzhi now sees Huai Zhen much more pleasing to the eye, and replied with a smile:

"Yes, yes... the princess is right..."

……

……

On a hillside outside the city, it was getting darker in the second half of the night, and a group of cavalry stood indistinctly on a high place, with banners fluttering in the air, majestic.

Xie Yuan, who was in heavy armor, unfolded the map, and Xiao Erdan beside him lit a torch for her. The mountains and hills on the map, as well as the locations of the three battalions were marked on it.

Sun Tian asked aloud:

"General, didn't you say that you don't know that the personnel relations of the generals in each battalion are more difficult to handle? I think Zhang Qing, who handled the case with us at the beginning, can be used. I chatted with him, and the things in the capital seem to be Nothing he doesn't know."

"Him?" Xie Yuan turned his head, and the red tassel on his helmet swayed gently with the wind.

Under the light of the torch, her phoenix eyes were shining like two fires, and she said in a deep voice for a while, "The situation is special now, so it's uncertain whether he is reliable. Besides, it's too late to go back and find him now."

"Then what should we do? We just sent people to investigate, and there seems to be no movement in the three camps." Sun Tian said.

"There are only a few of us, and it will be too late when there is any movement." Xie Yuan took a roll of the map and threw it to Erdan Xiao, with a resolute look on his face, and said:
"It's okay, there is a way to play in the dark."

After finishing speaking, she raised her arm, and the small rubbing sound of the copper armor smelt of iron and blood, and said in a cold voice:

"Send a distress arrow!"

Without saying a word, the commanding soldier who received the order drew out three feathered arrows, and took out a whistle with the characteristic of loud arrows from his bag, pressed them one by one neatly, and drew the bow full towards the sky. Arrow, two arrows, three arrows.

A series of arrows flew into the sky, one after another sharp and piercing whistle, following the arrow's lift-off, from near to far, three long beeps, with the same rhythm, instantly spread throughout the world. The whole wilderness.

Xie Yuan looked at the darkness in the distance and said:

"There are three ways to investigate, and if there is any change, report it at any time."

"Yes." Following the resounding echo, three groups of people separated from the queue.A wave of three people drove the horses and quickly disappeared into the night.

Sun Tian asked: "General, some of my subordinates don't understand, what is your intention?"

In the light of the torch, Xie Yuan's Danfeng eyes narrowed, his power became stronger, and he said:
"Under normal circumstances, if you hear the sound of distress arrows near the station, you will definitely send scouts to investigate the situation. When you see my banner, those with a guilty conscience will not dare to show their heads. Wait and see..."

After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he looked at the darkening sky and heaved a sigh of relief. As if he was ready, his hand holding the rein tightened, and the horse under his crotch stepped on its hoof uneasily.

She withdrew her gaze and said with a firm expression:

"It's almost dawn, and it's time to go to battle!"

……

……

Shen Liuzhen in Shen's courtyard suddenly woke up from his sleep, looked at the already pale skyline, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt uneasy.

It happened that a servant who removed the lantern walked by the yard, and Shen Liuzhen asked loudly:
"Hey, that little brother! Is my dad back?!"

The servant turned around with the removed lantern in his hand, and said respectfully:

"Back to Mr. Lang, he hasn't come back yet."

"Oh..." Shen Liuzhen couldn't help dragging out his voice, "It's all right, go get busy."

He lowered his brows, and before he started to think about it, some bad premonition jumped out of his heart, and he felt his eyelids twitching immediately.

He raised his fingers irritably and pressed gently.Liu Qinbing next to him saw him fidgeting and asked:

"what happened?"

Shen Liuzhen said regretfully in a low voice:

"...I hope that my father and A Yuan will be in trouble in the Song Dynasty, so that they can listen to my advice, but what if they really are in trouble?... What is so serious that it will not be unmanageable? What danger..."
