Jiaohua

The group of people who suddenly arrived were obviously tired and haggard, and also uncomfortable, but Zhai Jinsheng and Wu Shaoning did not let them into the camp.

The fifteen people stood outside awkwardly, being stared at by the Yan army soldiers who had just finished training and were moving freely in the sunset.

Liang Jun whispered to Ji Xiahe, "It's not a good idea to leave them here."

Ji Xiahe said, "They came here in an unpredictable way."

"How strange?"

Ji Xiahe looked at the fifteen people and said in a low voice, "Zhiyan used to be hated by many people, but only a few wanted him dead. Shen Shuangcheng was born a military general, and the Shen family also has a lot of soldiers, so they can handle it themselves. Later, Zhiyan offended more and more people, so he deployed an emergency force of about a hundred people around Yunliang. If there is any unusual movement, they will send a letter back immediately. Now these fifteen people came quietly, don't you think it's strange?"

Liang Jun felt warm: "The general's filial piety is evident. Everyone said that he and his father were not on good terms, but he still protected him."

Ji Xiahe rolled his eyes: "Why protect him? Zhiyan's grandparents are still alive."

As they were talking, they saw Miao Zhonghai riding out on horseback, and they were both very surprised.

The Yan army has a military law that prohibits riding horses in the barracks except in emergency situations and combat situations. Shen Lie himself sets an example by never riding a horse into the camp.

Miao Zhonghai came out, pulled the reins, and looked at the fifteen people: "Is there a leader?"

A young man with a fair complexion and handsome features walked out and spoke with a pure Yunliang accent: "I! My name is Shen Guheng! I came with a letter from Old Madam Cui. Old Madam Cui specifically told me to hand it to General Shen in person!"

Ji Xiahe raised his eyebrows and looked at him carefully.

Liang Jun saw that he knew him and asked, "Who is it?"

"The grandson of Mr. Shen's cousin, three years older than Shen Lie."

Liang Jun nodded. After so many generations, he wasn't even his cousin, he could only be called a clan brother.

Ji Xiahe added: "This person is said to be a young genius. He could recite a hundred poems at the age of four. He is very smart. If the world had not been in chaos, he would definitely be able to pass the imperial examination."

Liang Jun frowned: "Is this true or false? A four-year-old who can recite a hundred poems? I'm afraid his parents spread this rumor on purpose to make people think highly of him."

Ji Xiahe paused and said, "Shen Shuangcheng really thinks highly of him. It was Shen Shuangcheng who personally took him to the Shen family school. He had high hopes for him and often used him as an example, saying in public that Zhiyan was dull and not even as good as one of his fingers."

"Oh no," Liang Jun said quietly, "It seems that filial piety is sometimes unacceptable. I hope our general will never be filial in the future."

"Don't worry about that," Ji Xiahe smiled, "He won't do that to Shen Shuangcheng."

While they were whispering, Miao Zhonghai had already dismounted and led Shen Guheng and the others inside.

Ji Xiahe said: "Let's go, let's follow."

Shen Lie was forcibly interrupted from reading the letter and had to return to the tent.

Ping Yuefeng, Xu Licheng, Jie Shi and the others had all left, and Mao Shuxing did not stay either. The camp, which had been noisy just now, suddenly became quiet.

Hui Jin and Zhang Chi stood outside the tent door, looking up at Miao Zhonghai approaching and the tall man behind him.

Zhang Chi said: "This person is quite good-looking, and he lives up to his name."

Hui Jin nodded: "Not as good as the general, but far better than you and me."

When they approached, Hui Jin stepped forward, stopped everyone, and said to Shen Guheng: "You should be the young master of the Shen family."

Shen Guheng smiled and said politely: "I can't be called a young master, I'm just a member of the Shen family."

Hui Jin smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, please come in. The general only wants to see you."

"Thank you for waiting here." Shen Guheng said.

As the last rays of the setting sun were about to fade, the lights in the big tent were already on, illuminating everything in the tent with a faint scent of sandalwood in the air. Shen Guheng's eyes met the black eyes that looked up from behind the desk, and he felt an indescribable shock in his heart, followed by a mixed feeling of sourness.

The year Guo Hanyue died, Zui Lu was extremely angry and immediately rushed to Yunliang to take Shen Lie away.

At that time, the Guo family made a big show of it. Guo Zhaohai and Guo Yanchuan came in person. In addition to their sons, several sons from other families also came.

They threw all the things that the Shen family had prepared for Shen Lie into the street, and did not want the maids and servants either. As soon as they received the things, they immediately got on the carriage and drove away.

Shen Guheng's impression of Shen Lie only stayed before Shen Lie was eight years old. He was a boy with a small stature and a face that was prettier than a girl's, but lifeless and without any vitality. He was usually silent, and would hide from everyone he saw. He would not look people in the eye, and his beautiful eyes would only dodge and avoid everyone.

At that time, others were talking about it behind his back, saying that the eldest son of the Shen family, who was only eight years old, was so gloomy at such a young age, and that his life was doomed.

Later, Old Master Shen became seriously ill, and Shen Lie returned to Yunliang once when he was twelve years old, but no one saw him that time. He did not stay for long, and left again after Old Master Shen showed signs of recovery.

After a few years, I heard his name again. It was him who was sent to the capital as a hostage by Zuilu.

Countless people in Yunliang sighed, thinking that this was the fate of the eldest son of the Shen family who had given up his job and went to live under the roof of his grandfather's family.

Later, the world was in chaos. Not long after, news came that Shen Lie went to Jiangzhou to pick up Guo Zhaohai, but died in Jiangzhou.

Shen Guheng still remembers how happy his parents were when they heard the news.

Half a year ago, the news that Shen An died in Longdan Mountain was delivered, and half a year later, Shen Lie also died.

The eldest branch of the Shen family lost two sons at once, and they were their only two!

Because of Shen Shuangcheng's love for Shen Guheng, everyone thought that Shen Shuangcheng's huge wealth would fall into the hands of Shen Guheng.

As a result, Shen Lie was alive again and Shen An was not dead.

After that, year after year, Shen Lie took step by step and finally rose to the top and became the famous commander of the Yan Army.

Shen Guheng looked at the cold and sharp young man in front of him, who was intimidating without being angry, and found it difficult to associate him with the eight-year-old boy in his memory.

Obviously, everyone said that he was much smarter and stronger than Shen Lie, and Shen Lie could not compare to him in everything...

"Where's my grandmother's letter?" Shen Lie asked.

Shen Guheng was awakened by his words. He suddenly felt out of control and discovered that he had been distracted so much.

He lowered his head and took out a letter from his pocket, and presented it with both hands: "Here."

The envelope was written with "From Zhiyan" in a neat and elegant handwriting, which was indeed my grandmother's.

Shen Lie opened the letter and found only two thin sheets of letter paper inside.

Shen Guheng didn't know the content of the letter. He quietly looked at Shen Lie's expression, trying to see the change of emotions from his face.

But it was difficult. Shen Lie read the letter in silence, his expression calm from beginning to end.

Shen Guheng said: "What the letter said..."

"Mr. Hui." Shen Lie suddenly said.

Hui Jin came in from outside: "Master."

"Mr. Lao will take them to rest."

"Yes." (End of chapter)
