Yanmenchun

Chapter 70

After Jiang Lan said that, he said again: "The king will set off for Hanzhong in the next few days, and look forward to the good news."

Shen Tuchan smiled and said: "Naturally, I believe in His Highness's ability."

The two said a few more things and Jiang Lan got up and left.

In fact, Shen Tuchan didn't understand whether he was here to warn her to report to him. Originally, she wanted Xiaoman to visit Yanwangfu directly at night to send the blueprint.

She sat by the window and watched Jiang Lan's carriage drift away.

Xiao Man also leaned over and said, "Miss, what are you looking at?"

Shen Tuchan didn't speak, got up and left.

Xiaoman hurriedly followed with the cloak.

Within two days, the palace issued a decree that Concubine Yu murdered the officials and family members, took away the imperial seal, and put her in the cold palace.

The emperor reprimanded Concubine Rong, and ordered her to kneel in front of the Buddha for seven days. Li Taiwei fined her salary for half a year, and self-reflection at home for half a month.

Princess Wenyang went to meet the emperor, and the emperor issued a decree that day, and Lin Zicheng was relegated to Mobei.

Shen Tuchan couldn't help but sneered when she heard the words: "These are all cats and dogs, and they deserve to go to Mobei!"

Xiaoman was also a little bit aggrieved.

Chen Jing helped Shen Tuchan make an appointment with Chen Wuyong.

Shen Tuchan didn't dare to stay in Qingfeng Teahouse, Jiang Lan's eyes and ears were there, and what she asked, Jiang Lan knew, meant Donggong also knew, and Shen Tuchan didn't want Donggong to know.

They met in a courtyard of the Feng family.

Feng Yingru brought her and went out to meet Chen Jing, Shen Tuchan walked slowly into the living room.

Chen Wuyong was wearing a blue-gray round-neck robe with blunt edges and round beards, and the northwest wind made him a bit vicissitudes. At this moment, he looked up and saw that Shen Tuchan hadn't spoken.

Shen Tuchan stepped forward to salute. What she did was not a blessing ceremony for her daughter's family, but a salute for a man's meeting. She said in her mouth: "Shen Tuchan of the Marquis of Zhenbei, I have met the general."

Chen Wuyong did not expect her to make such a move, and said with a smile: "Miss Shentu, please sit down."

Shen Tuchan got up and sat down on the chair beside her.

Chen Wuyong only heard from Chen Jing that the young lady of Zhenbeihou's mansion was on the battlefield, and Zhenbeihou and his wife died, so I wanted to ask him some questions.

He smiled and said, "Miss Shentu, what questions do you have?"

Shen Tuchan looked at the maid next to her and said, "Go down."

The maid bowed and stepped back.

Chen Wuyong was stunned for a moment, and he immediately restrained his smile: "Miss Shentu doesn't want to ask about military secrets, does she?"

Shen Tuchan stared at him intently: "General, I want to know why Hanzhong's support was late in the battle when my father died?"

Mobei is not a big war, it is a continuous dispute for years, and the Huns have been testing that border.

When Zhenbeihou and his wife died, she didn't think about it, but as she tossed and turned day and night, as she thought over and over again, she became more and more suspicious.

Shen Tulang has been guarding Mobei for nearly several decades. He is not only familiar with Mobei and the Huns, but most of Shentuchan's dispositions are inherited from him. Be strong, cautious, and decisive. How could he turn over because of a small war? so powerful.

She couldn't inquire about the news in the army, so she could only guess through the few conversations with her father's old general, and contact the war where her parents died.

The Xiongnu attacked, the city gate was broken, the father died in battle, and the mother died in the city, but not many people died in the pass, so many people could be evacuated, why the support from Hanzhong was late?

why?
She had never thought about going to Hanzhong until Feng Yingru reminded her of the guards in Hanzhong.

Chen Wuyong looked at Shentuchan sternly: "Miss Shentu, do you know what you are asking?"

Shen Tuchan withdrew her overly tough gaze, trying to calm the atmosphere a bit, with a smirk: "General, my parents died in that war, so I naturally want to know more."

Chen Wuyong's expression relaxed slightly: "Miss Shentu, the army has its own military laws, when and how to send troops, each has its own regulations, and it is not for the daughter's family to intervene."

Chen Wuyong regarded her as an ordinary boudoir lady.

Shen Tuchan could only laugh and said, "General, how long has it been since my father asked for reinforcements from Hanzhong and sent troops to Hanzhong?"

There was a smile on her lips, and her eyes were puzzled.

This is not a big secret, at least not on the battlefields of Hanzhong and Mobei.

But Chen Wuyong always felt that he saw sarcasm in that gaze, he was a little displeased and said: "It coincides with the heavy snow, around five days."

Shen Tuchan let out an oh, her smile was still floating, but her eyes were indescribably cold.

Chen Wuyong only felt that this woman was pretending to be a ghost, and the people who saw it felt uncomfortable, so he said: "Since Miss Shentu has nothing else to do, Chen will leave."

Saying that, he got up and went out.

Shen Tuchan sat on the grand teacher's chair and let out a long sigh, the sigh trembled slightly, as if she couldn't suppress it.

She slowly leaned on the back of the chair and closed her eyes. After a while, she stared at the exquisite wooden ceiling on the roof.

Shen Tuchan didn't say a word when she came out of Feng's courtyard, there was no fake smile on her face, not even the coldness between her brows, but an indifferent, calm bored look.

Xiao Man sat beside him cautiously, she knew that Shen Tuchan was in a very bad mood now, but she was forcing herself to calm down, and the bigger things she faced, the more she would force herself to calm down.

The carriage drove all the way back to Zhenbeihou's Mansion, and she didn't say until she was almost at the door: "Let's go to Hanzhong."

At that moment, Xiaoman almost thought that he had heard wrongly.

When she wanted to ask Shen Tuchan again, the carriage arrived, and Shen Tuchan almost got out of the carriage without stopping.

Xiao Man hurriedly helped her get out of the car, hesitant to speak on his face.

Until Shen Tuchan entered her bedroom, she took off her Cloud-Putting Moon Sword and put it on the table and said, "Go and pack your things, it's light and easy."

Only then did Xiao Man realize that she was serious. She looked at her master seriously and said, "Miss, what did you just say?"

Shen Tuchan put her hand on the scabbard and repeated almost word for word: "We're going to Hanzhong, just the two of us."

Xiao Man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and turned to go out.

Shen Tuchan got up, walked to the mirror and sat down, the girl in the mirror had already faded away from her innocence at that time.

When she grows up, she can find answers to all her questions by herself.

When Shentu Danlin heard her words, he almost immediately frowned and refused: "No! Are you crazy?"

Shen Tuchan looked directly at him with firm eyes: "Brother, you said you could help me."

Shentu Danlin almost wanted to shake her shoulders: "That can't help you hide the truth from grandma and let you try your own danger!"

"Brother, I came back from Hanzhong in the same way. I was only ten years old at that time." Shen Tuchan calmly reminded him.

Shentu Danlin paused for a moment, and said firmly: "It's not the same, it's luck, how many times can you have good luck!"

Shen Tuchan turned her back to him and said, "Brother, you know you can't change me, and I don't need your help."

She was about to leave after she finished speaking, Shentu Danlin sighed heavily: "Stop."

He added: "I'm worried about you and Xiaoman."

Shen Tuchan turned to look at him, and said frankly: "I will bring a killer from the Yan Palace."

Although Shentu Danlin was surprised, he felt relieved: "Is it reliable?"

Shen Tuchan nodded, she knew that this was very embarrassing for Shentu Danlin, and said frankly: "Brother, thank you. I have one more thing to confess, although you may already know it."

"I took refuge in the East Palace."
