Yanmenchun

Chapter 73

at night.

When Shentuchan and Xiaoman were about to go out through the window, Uncle Cang reported from the outside: "Miss, His Highness King Yan is here, and he said he was an old acquaintance with you."

It is not unusual for Hu Dao to leak Shen Tuchan's whereabouts to Jiang Lan.

Shen Tuchan glanced at Xiao Man, and Xiao Man approached the door and said softly: "Uncle Cang, miss is not feeling well today, she has already fallen asleep, please come back tomorrow or please leave a place for the lady to visit tomorrow .”

Shen Tuchan waited for a while, Uncle Cang went and came back, and softly reported: "His Royal Highness Yan Wang has gone back, saying that he will come to visit Miss tomorrow."

Shen Tuchan waited for the sound of Uncle Cang's footsteps to be far away before stabilizing the windowsill with both hands, and jumped out of the room, followed by Xiaoman.

The nighttime curfew in Mobei is strict, and the streets are empty.

Shen Tuchan stepped on the roof tiles and ran fast.

They were like two black cats leaping at night.

The Commander of the Guards Army was very lively at this time, and there were a lot of wine and wine.

A beautiful maid shuttled among them, and a short and strong man in purple was talking: "Hmph, Chuan Shu is hugging his thigh, and he is getting richer and richer!"

A thinner man next to him stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty is partial to the left. I always feel that Sichuan and Sichuan are humid, mountainous, and poisonous."

After speaking, he sighed again: "Where do you know the hardships in Hanzhong?"

Shi Yuanzhi, the commander of the guard army, sighed softly, "It's more than hardship."

Several high-ranking officials and dignitaries dressed in silk and satin pretended to complain here.

Shen Tuchan hid for a long time, as if she was waiting for someone on the table, and did not leave for a long time.

After a long time, an attendant went in and said something to Yuan Zhi, Yuan Zhi said: "Let's stop here tonight, everyone, don't think about it when you go back, we Hanzhong, we come here every year."

The short and sturdy man in purple snorted, and said unconvinced: "Who said, it wasn't last year."

Last year, the Marquis of Zhenbei and his wife died in battle in Mobei, and almost all the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong were mobilized, but it was not a difficult year.

Shen Tuchan tightly shook the sword in her hand.

Several people waved their sleeves and said goodbye, Yuan Zhi sent them away one by one, then walked quickly to another direction.

Shen Tuchan and Xiao Man followed him quietly.

He hastily walked quite a distance before entering a small courtyard, looked left and right before entering the house, then turned around and closed the door, Shen Tuchan walked over to the wall and gently cut the window paper a little with his sword.

Jiang Lan was sitting indoors, Yuan Zhi had already finished his salute and got up.

Xiaoman was a little nervous to be beaten by Shen Tuchan, Jiang Lan was very skilled in martial arts, maybe he would find them.

Shen Tuchan remained motionless, only staring at Yuan Zhi.

In the room, Yuan Zhi said: "Your Highness, I have been in Hanzhong for so many years, and I have relied on being cautious in my words and deeds. You have revealed to me that these ministers have deep feelings, but I am afraid that Your Highness will be disappointed."

Jiang Lan seemed not disappointed at all, and said with a smile: "Master Yuan, it is not up to you to decide whether to be cautious in your words and deeds. This king has already mentioned you. You are not willing to fight for Hanzhong. After that, the army will not be able to blame you." , Mobei borrows food from you again, can you go to search the battlefield again?"

After he finished speaking, he restrained his smile again, and looked at Yuan Zhi seriously. Yuan Zhi was so frightened that his legs shook. Last year, Hanzhong was going to support the battlefield, and Chaozhong sent food from Yulin. Mobei's granary, at that time Hanzhong Mobei's accounts were very chaotic, and the court couldn't figure it out at all. In the end, they had to replenish grain from Sichuan and Shu to Mobei.

The well-off granary made Hanzhong cheaper, so at the banquet just now, he said that Hanzhong was in trouble, and some people said it was not last year.

He remained silent for a while, his face calm, but there was a little sweat on his forehead.

This is spring, and the spring ice in Mobei has not yet melted.

Yuan Zhi was quiet for a moment and said: "Your Highness is just joking, it's just a little better than in previous years, otherwise with the heavy snow this year, some people might starve to death."

Jiang Lan snorted softly, but before she could speak, she heard someone coming from outside the house.

He glanced at Yuan Zhi coldly, before Yuan Zhi could speak, the door was pushed open.

Two masked girls in night gowns walked in.

Yuan Zhi was startled, grabbed the handrail tightly and said, "Who is it? How dare you barge into the commander at night!"

Xiao Man turned around and closed the door, Shen Tuchan pulled off her kerchief, didn't look at Jiang Lan, only looked at Yuan Zhi and said: "Master Yuan, I haven't seen you for many years, but you still recognize me?"

As she spoke, she walked to the chair opposite Yuan Zhi and sat down.

Seeing that they were not murderous, Yuan Zhi looked at her, then at Xiao Man, and stared at Shen Tuchan for a moment in a daze: "You are."

As if he couldn't believe it, he stared at Shentuchan for a moment: "It's you, the daughter of the Shentu family."

Her appearance is much more refined than before, the immature baby fat on her face is gone, she is white and thin, but there is the same indifference and coldness between her brows as Shentu Lang.

In fact, Yuan Zhi hadn't seen Shen Tuchan for four years, and he should have forgotten it long ago, but he still remembered.

He used to know that this little girl was special, but he never felt anything, but at this moment he suddenly felt a secret fear.

There was a cold smile on Shen Tuchan's lips: "Master Yuan has a good memory."

Only then did Yuan Zhi realize: "Why are you here? How dare you barge into the commander at night?"

Shen Tuchan had two swords hanging around her waist, her hands were pressed on the swords, and Yuan Zhi's eyes also fell on the swords.

Looking at his reaction, Shen Tuchan was very satisfied: "Master Yuan, is the food in Mobei delicious? Stepping on the blood of my parents to make contributions and get the spoils of war, isn't it considered the highest honor in your life?" ?”

Yuan Zhi glanced at Jiang Lan quickly, and then said to Shen Tuchan in a serious voice: "Nonsense, as a woman, you broke into the government office in the middle of the night, even if I give your father face, you can't let me do it."

After he finished speaking, he was about to open his mouth to call out, but Shen Tuchan had already pulled out the thorn cloud and put it on his neck.

Yuan Zhi's voice choked in his throat, he turned his head slightly to look, Jiang Lan looked at them calmly, or looked at Shen Tuchan.

Shen Tuchan said with a smile: "Master Yuan, if you dare to let people outside hear any word, I will cut off your head directly."

The sword light reflected a piercing light in the candlelight.

The sweat on Yuan Zhi's forehead became thicker, and he straightened his face: "Miss Shentu, rushing into the mansion rashly, pointing the sword at the elders, the Zhenbeihou couple are loyal, is this how you treat their teachings? You are worthy of the Zhenbeihou mansion Qing's name?"

Shen Tuchan smiled and said, "What kind of elder do you call me? Then you will say, do you want to go to the underworld to complain to my parents?"

"As for what you said about breaking into the commander at night is a serious crime, who saw it? Who proved it? His Royal Highness King Yan has never been to Hanzhong."

Yuan Zhi tensed up when he heard the last sentence, and said again: "Why did you come here? Why did you have trouble with this officer for no reason? I used to be good friends with your father, so you should call me Uncle Yuan."

Shentuchan smiled so much that the hand holding the sword was shaking.

Jiang Lan stared at her intently.

Shen Tuchan said with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Yuan, then tell me, why did you procrastinate when Mobei asked for reinforcements, and you had to wait until the Huns' army came under pressure, and my father would soon be unable to hold on?" Let's go, why?"
