Yanmenchun

Chapter 72

Shen Tuchan got up at dawn, she was too tired from traveling all night, so she decided to go to the nearest town to stay for a day.

Hu Dao was already waiting outside the door. The farmer's man got up early and helped them feed the horses. The woman made breakfast and killed a chicken. Finally, the man carefully brought the chicken soup to Hu Dao.

Hu Dao is a killer, and he knows the common poisons as soon as he smells them. After checking, he asked Xiaoman to present it to Shen Tuchan. Seeing the clarity of the chicken soup, Shen Tuchan took a few mouthfuls at will.

Seeing that the sky was almost getting dark, the two couples knelt at the door, waiting to see off the 'Wang Concubine'.

Not long after the chicken soup was delivered, the door opened. The maid who opened the door frowned and looked at them without saying a word, and then helped the 'Princess' who was wearing a veiled hat to come out.

They didn't dare to look too much, they just remembered that when the woman entered the door last night, she didn't speak from the beginning to the end, she was tall and tall, and her hands were as white as jade, which didn't look like a good one. A man and a woman were protecting her back and forth.

At this moment, they only saw the pair of black boots walking out behind the maid. The lights were dim last night and they could see nothing. Now the sky was bright, and they saw the thin gold wires on the boots.

They hastily lowered their heads, and the two shouted unevenly: "See Wangfei."

The hooves of the horses sounded, and the smoke and dust came out. No one spoke, and when they raised their heads, the hooves of the three horses quickly disappeared.

The couple got up with a sigh of relief, and when they entered the room, the chicken soup on the table seemed untouched, and the bedding on the bed was the same as before they moved in.

Shen Tuchan rested overnight in a nearby town, and they arrived in Hanzhong the next day.

She went back to the mansion where she lived with her mother in the past. The mansion was the property of the Zhenbeihou Mansion. She left in a hurry, leaving only an old housekeeper to look after the house.

The old housekeeper is over fifty this year, and Shen Tuchan called him Uncle Cang since childhood.

Xiao Man stepped forward to knock on the door, Uncle Cang still remembered Xiao Man, he was stunned for a while and then stammered: "Little Man girl?"

Xiao Man giggled: "Uncle Cang, I brought Miss here!"

Uncle Cang hurriedly looked behind Xiaoman in surprise, Shen Tuchan raised the veil on the veiled hat with one hand, and said with a smile on his face, "Uncle Cang."

Uncle Cang was surprised and happy at the same time, and burst into tears immediately: "Miss!"

Xiao Man hastily pushed him and said, "Don't cry, let the young lady in!"

Uncle Cang hastily welcomed Shen Tuchan in.

This mansion is much older, Shen Tuchan walked all the way, the few clumps of flowers and trees planted in the past have disappeared and turned into small trees, and the stone benches in the yard are also mottled and disfigured.

Uncle Cang choked with sobs and said: "Unexpectedly, I would see Missy again in my lifetime. After Missy went there for three or four years, many people from this mansion were dismissed, and the house collapsed quickly if no one lived in it. Up to now, only me and the two are left. She's an old woman who is sweeping, and recently picked up a little girl from outside."

Shen Tuchan nodded and didn't say anything. She lived in Hanzhong not long ago, but she and her mother can be seen everywhere in this yard. Uncle Cang also often traveled between Hanzhong and Mobei.

Even if the house in Mobei was gone when it was broken, it is probably deserted now.

This is already the only place where she can still find the old days.

Xiao Man waited on her to clear away the dust along the way, and Shen Tuchan sat with disheveled hair in the bedroom where she and her mother used to live.

Everything was the same as before, as if Shen Tuchan raised the curtain again and called out to A Niang, and someone came in with a smile outside the door and said, "If Ah-chan doesn't get up again, I won't have breakfast today."

Shen Tuchan had no more tears, her tears had already been shed when she decided to go back to Mobei to kill the Huns.

She leaned on the bed and looked at the room for a moment, four years was just a moment, and after a while she smiled and whispered to the empty room: "I would rather die than fall into my father's name."

During dinner, Shen Tuchan called Uncle Cang over.

Now that she looks more and more like Shen Tulang, Uncle Cang is very relieved to see her.

Shen Tuchan asked, "What was the weather like in Hanzhong half a month before my parents died?"

Uncle Cang's expression became serious, and he only recalled a little and said: "It snowed a few times during that time, but not too much. When the news came, the old slave was still planning to go to Mobei. I was in a hurry, so I was very impressed.”

Shen Tuchan supported her forehead with one hand: "Who was the general of the Hanzhong Guards at that time? What about now?"

Uncle Cang knelt down on the ground with a thud, tears rolled down from his cloudy eyes, and his voice was old and hoarse: "Miss, you are here to investigate the matter of Master Hou's death in battle! This old slave has been waiting for you for four years!"

Shen Tuchan's face was calm, her eyes looked at him like a bottomless well.

Uncle Cang wiped away his tears: "At that time, a large number of people in Mobei retreated to the vicinity of Hanzhong, and even directly retreated to Hanzhong. The old slave has been here for so many years, and he has never seen such a big battle. The fierce battle, Hou Ye has been in the army for decades, he will only know better than the old slave, but the Hanzhong guards have not moved, and the old slave is also anxious, going around the barracks every day."

He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The army has indeed started to prepare to set off to support Mobei, but the preparations have been delayed for a few days. The old slave got angry and went to the military office to meet him again, but he didn't care about it As soon as I drove the old slave out, he said that the war was imminent, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. The old slave had been a slave in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion for a lifetime. Falling, the Marquis and his wife are gone, the Xiongnu are good at plain warfare, but not good at the battle inside the pass, the guards in Hanzhong almost came out in full force, quickly turned defeat into victory, and hid back to Yanmen Pass, the Shentu family completely lost Yanmen pass!"

Shen Tuchan could no longer hear what Uncle Cang said, she could make up reasons for the group of people who harmed his father. The big battle was imminent, Hanzhong had prepared most of its troops, and when they were preparing, the Xiongnu suddenly launched a big attack, and Yanmen Pass fell .

She didn't stop Uncle Cang from continuing to express his indignation, and consciously imagined the war.

It wasn't until Uncle Cang called her twice that she came back to her senses. Uncle Cang was looking at her with concern.

Shen Tuchan smiled slightly, very calmly: "Uncle Cang, I already knew, I will deal with this matter, don't worry."

Uncle Cang was stunned when he said this, and before he could speak again, Shen Tuchan said: "Go down and rot this matter in your heart, even if it is Lord Hou, I don't want him to know, do you understand?"

Her Shen Tulang-like eyes stared at Uncle Cang, with seriousness and coldness, Uncle Cang knelt down and said: "Master Hou and his wife have devoted their entire lives to teaching Miss, this old slave believes in Miss, and I will die if I leave this door today." Don't mention it again."

After saying goodbye, he got up and left after saying goodbye again.

Xiaoman stood aside, she never thought that there would be such a big thing inside, and she was already in tears.

At the beginning, she only thought that the Huns killed the Hou Ye and his wife. The young lady grew up here, and she understood the deep hatred. At that time, she wanted to persuade her to marry a general here.

It turned out that there was a secret in it. It turned out that the generals in Hanzhong and Mobei might also be enemies. She knelt down and put her head on the ground.

Shentuchan looked at her condescendingly, and said calmly, "Get up."

After a moment of silence, he said again: "Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge."
