Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 322 Ambush
The Emperor Chen returned to Yuxiu Palace, and the first thing he did after seeing Su Qingning was to embrace her in his arms.

Su Qingning leaned in the arms of Emperor Chen, knowing in her heart that this test is over for the time being, as long as all the rainy days and times are right in the future, those rumors will be self-defeating.

Nanny Chen led the people and left the hall, leaving the space in the hall to Emperor Chen and Su Qingning. The two embraced each other quietly. This was the most comfortable moment for Emperor Chen since these days.

After a while, the two let go, and Emperor Chen pulled Su Qingning to sit on the soft couch.

"Your Majesty, are there any hidden guards in the harem?" Su Qingning wanted to tell Emperor Chen about this before, but she has noticed the pressure from the Emperor during this time, and she doesn't want to add more to her. pressure.

"In the current harem, only my Chengqian Palace and your Yuxiu Palace have hidden guards, and the rest of the palaces don't have them for the time being."

"However, after going through these things, I figured it out. Originally, the hidden guards existed for me. With them, not only my safety is guaranteed, but many things should also be easier."

"Before, I called Mingyu into the palace and tried it out. The power of the queen mother did not fall into her hands. Presumably, it was in the hands of someone in the harem. Don't worry, I will arrange for it today. If you go down, there will be people watching in every palace.”

No matter what, he will definitely find out that person. Only in this way can the harem be truly peaceful.

When Emperor Chen said so, Su Qingning nodded. With the hidden guards around, maybe soon, the person in the dark will be able to be caught.

No matter how cautious that person is, there will always be times when he shows his feet.

Outside the northwest border, Shen Xiao took Gu Sheng back to the border.

Every once in a while, Shen Xiao would leave the border to conduct a survey of the surrounding terrain. This was done in order to gain more advantages when fighting.

It is said that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. Knowing the terrain is also very important.

Because of this habit of his, he won the victory without any effort in the previous frictions with the surrounding tribes.

In many cases, taking advantage of the terrain can reduce many injuries.

Gu Sheng followed Shen Xiao, and after a period of contact, she found that Shen Xiao was really a very good general.

It's no wonder that the emperor reused him back then, and he really didn't use the wrong person.

"Gu Sheng, it doesn't seem too far from your home, do you want to go back and have a look?" Turning to Gu Sheng, Shen Xiao asked.

After getting along with her for a while, Shen Xiao admired Gu Sheng more and more. He felt that Gu Sheng was very smart. Although his skill was a little weak, it was not a big problem.

She thought of many things more than the counselors around her. He felt that Gu Sheng could be a strategist and counselor, not a soldier who charged into battle.

"Thank you, General, let's go back to the border. The small tribes outside the pass are not very peaceful recently, so it's better not to leave for too long."

After thinking about it, Gu Sheng replied that she was very relieved to have Zhishu and Zhihua at home.

Furthermore, if she went home to watch, she would have to invite Shen Xiao and take him back, she always felt a little awkward,
"Alright, after this period of time, I will let you go on vacation alone." Shen Xiao thought for a while, then nodded in response. Recently, some small tribes outside the border are really not peaceful, and I don't know if it is because of the long-term drought. , giving them a sense of crisis.

Most of those small tribes live by hunting and farming. However, it is very difficult to store the prey. Although the food can be stored, the drought will lead to a serious reduction in production.

There are quite a few people in the small tribe, and the food alone is not enough.

It is possible to rob the tribes around themselves, but this is not a long-term solution, so under normal circumstances, these small tribes will unite and attack the northwest border together, hoping to gain benefits from the northwest border.

After hearing Shen Xiao's words, Gu Sheng heaved a sigh of relief, and the two continued to urge their horses to return to the border.

"Stop." After walking a certain distance, Shen Xiao suddenly pulled the reins, signaling Gu Sheng to stop. He looked around warily, as if he sensed something.

Gu Sheng's expression also became serious. Although her skill was not as good as Shen Xiao's, she could feel the tense atmosphere in the air.

I'm afraid that the news that they came out to investigate will be leaked...

In the forest, a group of masked men in black came out and surrounded the two of them. They didn't look like they were from the tribe.

"Shen Xiao, why don't you just catch him?" One of them bent his bow and set an arrow, and said to Shen Xiao.

"Who are you, dare to block this general's way?" The other party covered his face and couldn't see his face, Shen Xiao put his hand on the weapon and asked.

"Sensible, I advise you to get off the horse. As for who I am, I will tell you before you die, and let you be a sensible ghost."

The other party sneered, the bow and arrow in his hand was ready to go, Shen Xiao pulled out the weapon, he didn't intend to catch it without a fight.

Holding the sword in his hand, Gu Sheng looked at the man who bent the bow. For some reason, she always felt that the man's eyes were somewhat familiar.

But the other party covered his face and couldn't tell anything with just his eyes.

The attention of the leading man in black was all on Shen Xiao, and he didn't pay much attention to Gu Sheng.

Seeing that Shen Xiao didn't intend to surrender, the arrow in the man's hand flew towards Shen Xiao.

As if it was a secret signal, at the same time, the other men in black waved their weapons and attacked Shen Xiao and Gu Sheng.

Both of them are on horseback, with advantages and disadvantages. Their backs are facing each other to deal with the approaching enemies.

Gu Sheng's horse was hacked a few times, and she went crazy. In order to avoid being thrown off, she had no choice but to get off the horse and fight with the man in black.

Seeing that Gu Sheng had given birth to the horse, Shen Xiao also got off the horse. The two of them stood back to back, dealing with the men in black who kept attacking.

The one in the lead bent his bow and set his arrow again, aiming at Gu Sheng. He could tell that Gu Sheng's kung fu was not as good as Shen Xiao's.

The arrow flew out, and with the sound of the wind, it came towards Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng sensed the danger and wanted to dodge, but was entangled by the man in black.

Seeing that the arrows were about to hurt Gu Sheng, Shen Xiao quickly turned around and separated the arrows with his weapon. At the same time, a man in black cut his arm with a sword.

"Shen Xiao, are you okay!" Shen Xiao didn't hum, but Gu Sheng knew that he was injured, so she asked Shen Xiao quickly.

"It's okay, focus on it!" Said quickly, and Shen Xiao continued to deal with the man in black in front of him.

Seeing that his arrow had missed, the leading man in black took out three arrows at once, bent his bow and set the arrow, and aimed at Gu Sheng again.

The previous time, Shen Xiao blocked it for her, so for the next three arrows, he wanted to see how they dodged it?
