Chaos of Ming 1628

Sun Qingzhen wanted to cry out, "Alas, this is certain death!"

It's unknown whether, after losing their lives, they will disappear from the world or be able to return to their original world.

He closed his eyes in despair.

The expected pain did not come; instead, the smell of blood filled the air, and screams could be heard.

A familiar fragrance wafted past his nose, and Sun Qing suddenly opened his eyes.

Shen Junru was currently locked in combat with the two men, one tall and one short. Despite her petite stature, Shen Junru was only about the shorter of the two.

Its moves are wide and sweeping, with no fancy techniques whatsoever.

The two attackers, one on the left and one on the right, surrounded him, but he was still forced to retreat repeatedly. In the end, his broadsword was knocked away, and he was stabbed several times, screaming in agony.

After several exchanges, Shen Junru had subdued the two men and pinned them to the ground, her gaze cold and fierce, as if she were about to kill them.

"Denglai," the tall man called out.

"Wait a minute," the short man hurriedly asked, "Judging from your style, you don't rely on agility and maneuvering, but only on brute force and slashing."

"If I'm not mistaken, this is definitely not something that can be countered by petty tricks." The short man's breathing became heavier: "This is a large-scale battle formation passed down from the Dengzhou-Laizhou border army."

"And this is also a fighting style created by General Shen himself."

Upon hearing this, Shen Junru sheathed her sword, her eyes filled with wariness: "Who are you?"

The two men exchanged a glance, and the two who were ruthless killers had bloodshot eyes with tears welling up in them.

"My name is Wang Er, and his name is Wang Da." He said in a trembling voice, "We are brothers, and we were ordered by General Shen to guard Guanglu Island, control the Liaodong troops at sea, and contain the Later Jin."

"It was our incompetence that prevented us from protecting the general, and we fell into the water, where we were rescued by fishermen."

"Having no face to return, he became an outlaw."

After they finished speaking, the two were filled with shame. The shorter one trembled as he emphasized, "But we will only kill the eunuch faction, those corrupt officials."

"Heh," Shen Junru let out a soft scoff, but her voice was filled with overwhelming sorrow: "Do you even know who you're trying to kill?"

The two were confused.

Shen Junru smiled and said, "Sun Qing of the Sun family of Gaoyang."

Time seemed to stand still at that moment. The two of them were stunned for a long time before they finally came to their senses.

"He...he's a descendant of the Grand Coordinator?!" The short man's voice trembled violently.

The tall man looked at Sun Qing, held the knife in both hands, and knelt directly in front of Sun Qing: "Kill me, I deserve to die."

Sun Qing was so frightened that he took a step back.

The short man knelt down, his shoulders trembling: "If we had known earlier that you were a descendant of the Grand Coordinator, how could we have attacked you?"

"There are absolutely no wicked people among the Sun family members. The Grand Coordinator will not tolerate this."

"It seems we've been deceived. We were already guilty, and now we've compounded our mistakes. The only way we can atone for our sins is with our lives!"

Sun Qing had already started brainstorming.

In a short time, the conversation contained a wealth of information.

What can be confirmed first is that the two men were once stationed in Dengzhou and Laizhou, but after being defeated and falling into the water, they never returned.

Furthermore, Shen Junru's fighting style was recognized, but she did not refute the two.

He can call Sun Chengzong "Grandpa" and is extremely loyal to him. He claims to be a member of the Sun family, yet his surname is Shen.

Now that he has made contact with Dengzhou and Laiyang, Sun Qing has already identified a candidate.

In the early years of the Tianqi reign, Sun Chengzong made arrangements on three fronts, personally assigning Shen Yourong to garrison Dengzhou and Laizhou. Shen Yourong was the naval commander-in-chief and also a well-known trusted general of Sun Chengzong.

However, he resigned from his post and returned to his hometown in the fourth year of the Tianqi reign.

Sun Qing already had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, and helped the two of them up, saying, "You two have also gone astray."

"As long as one is willing to repent, there is still hope for them."

"My brother and I have been scraping together travel expenses, hoping to go back and apologize to General Shen," the short man said with difficulty, his head bowed.

Shen Junru looked somber, her hands hanging limply at the edges of her legs, carefully concealing her sorrow.

"Alas!" Sun Qing sighed deeply, full of regret: "It's a pity that you no longer have this opportunity."

"General Shen passed away not long ago. He was worried about his granddaughter, so he entrusted her to the Sun family." Sun Qing said this naturally, as if she had known all along.

Shen Junru turned her head abruptly, shock overshadowing her sorrow.

The two men looked at Shen Junru with the same expression, then knelt down and wept bitterly: "You are General Shen's granddaughter?"

"Our lives and deaths are entirely in your hands."

Shen Junru said in a flat, languid voice, "No need."

"I swore to my grandfather that I would serve Grandpa Sun in his place in the future."

She is no longer a free person, so how can she make decisions for others?

The two exchanged a glance, then, without further hesitation, declared in firm voices: "Whoever Miss pledges allegiance to in the future, we two will pledge allegiance to that person as well."

Shen Junru looked up at Sun Qing. Both of them smiled helplessly and sighed softly.

Although they had guessed the two men's identities, they also knew that Sun Chengzong's men were all extremely loyal. As long as they were under Sun Chengzong's banner, these two men would definitely be devoted to him.

The key is that the more loyal they are, the greater the backlash. If Sun Qing is from the Gaoyang Sun clan, they'll risk their lives to help you. Otherwise, they'll be the sharpest blade on your side, since they only recognize the Sun clan.

"OK!"

Before Sun Qing could speak, Shen Junru agreed first: "If you really want to atone for your sins, the two of you can stay by his side."

"After all, my mission is to protect him."

"yes!"

Without saying a word, the two turned around in unison, then immediately stepped back, keeping a certain distance from the two men, and waited there.

Sun Qing hesitated, lowering her voice further and further: "You know perfectly well that I am not."

"So what?" Shen Junru chuckled lightly, staring at him warily. "You know everything, even my grandfather. You really are a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"No," Sun Qing replied truthfully.

Shen Junru snorted, full of disbelief: "It's a pity that even though you're so capable, there's still one thing you haven't found out."

"What?" Sun Qing asked.

Shen Junru did not answer directly, but said in a deep voice, "If you want to know, let's exchange!"

"Tell me first, does the current emperor have any intention of recalling Grandpa and giving him an important position? What is his attitude towards Grandpa?"

Hey!

They still regarded him as one of Chongzhen's men.

Sun Qing didn't bother to argue; there was no point in saying anything more. Let them think what they want!

To be honest, according to history, "Wang was still in the Ministry of War during the Jin Dynasty."

Although all of this happened after the purge of the eunuch faction, hopefully mentioning this person now will prepare Sun Chengzong mentally.

Shen Junru frowned, wanting to explain to those who didn't understand. But since they had said so, she would simply relay the message.

Faced with this answer, he couldn't help but add a complaint: "You really are a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Having said that, he sheathed his longsword, his voice becoming somewhat heavy: "Mr. Song is going to Gaoyang, and I will accompany him."

"Your identity can no longer be hidden."

"Mr. Song asked me to tell you to make plans as soon as possible."

When Sun Quan saw Sun Qing, he was already extremely agitated. Not to mention Sun Chengzong.

"Are you leaving?" Sun Qing asked, her voice a little urgent.

Shen Junru's eyes lit up: "What? You can't bear to part with me?"

Unexpectedly, Sun Qing's smile grew even brighter, and she suddenly exclaimed, "That's wonderful!"

Shen Junru's expression changed, she raised her long sword and roared, "Prepare to die!"

Sun Qing took off running.

Wang Da and Wang Er nodded, and Wang Er remarked with emotion, "The two of them have such a good relationship."

"If it weren't for Young Master Sun's outstanding character, how could Miss be so intimate with him?" The more Wang Er looked, the more he felt that what he said made sense.

Wang Da nodded.

Wang Er solemnly said, "It's all those local gentry's fault; they deceived us and almost hurt Young Master Sun."

"Beat them up," Wang Da said.

Wang Er grinned: "Alright, I won't have the face to show in front of Young Master Sun until I see them beaten to a pulp."
