Chapter 84

After Shen Shanzhi said it, Chang Ji remembered one thing. A few years after her leg recovered, it happened that the empress of Weishui launched a palace change and proclaimed herself emperor.Afterwards, the empress ordered the massacre of the Lin Hu family.A pair of brothers from the branch of the Linhu family fled to Shenshan. They wanted to flee to Nanzhao, and begged Yuan Che to send them out of Shenshan.

At that time, Chang Ji was studying archery with Yuan Che in the third battalion in the west of the city. After hearing the entreaties of the brothers, she lowered her blindness and said coldly, "Kill them."

Yuan Che was shocked, looked at her and said, "What did you say?"

Chang Ji said, "I said, kill them."

Yuan Che said: "Although the Linhu family belongs to the Weishui clan, Luoshui and Weishui are originally a family. Shen Shan and Lin Hu also had in-laws in the early years. Now when they are in crisis, they come alone to ask for help. I can't stand by. I can Try to send them out of the border, I have friends in Nanzhao who can help them, I can save them..."

But Chang Ji only said: "Kill them."

Yuan Che said: "Aman..."

She was taught by Yuan Che since she was a child, and the two rarely disagreed.And when there was a disagreement in the past, she would eventually listen to Yuan Che's words.That time she insisted.

She said: "The Shenshan Mansion has held the Luoshui military power for tens of thousands of years, and the emperors of all dynasties have never been so afraid of the Shen Shan Mansion. Why did he become more and more afraid of the Shen Shan family when he came to His Majesty? It was only because the Shenshan Mansion controlled the Luoshui military power. Is it? No. It's because of Lin Hu."

She said: "The Chen Shan family controls the military power in Luoshui, and the Lin Hu family controls the military power in Weishui. In the early years, His Majesty watched Lin Hu's rebellion and took the Weishui family's throne. Therefore, he was afraid, he was afraid of Shen Shan who also held military power The family is the next Lin Hu family, who seized his throne with a knife on his neck. Now that the Weishui royal family is still in court and regaining the throne, Lin Hu's death is what he wants to see most. But you Want to save Lin Hushi at this time?"

She said: "Once His Majesty knows that you have sent the remnants of the Lin Hu family to Nanzhao, he will definitely believe that you, the Shen Shan family and the Lin Hu family have colluded for a long time, and have the same conspiracy as the Lin Hu family! You, the heir of the Shenshan Prince, who is a courtier inside and Nanzhao outside, will only be more afraid of the Shenshan Mansion, and he must get rid of it quickly."

She actually didn't know much about Emperor Chu, but perhaps because she was born in the royal family, she seemed to have a particularly keen perception of the various fears of imperial power.Empress Huixian and Prince Gongde are the bloody victims of the struggle for imperial power.

Everything she said made sense, Yuan Che remained silent for a long time, but still couldn't bear to say: "I know your worries, but they are two lives."

Chang Ji immediately said: "Is two lives worth the safety of the Shen Shan clan? Yuan Che, you are the eldest son of Dongzhou, but you are also the eldest son of the Shen Shan palace. Which one is more important? I still need to cooperate with you." Can you distinguish clearly? If you can't give up benevolence and righteousness, and can't bear to kill them, I will come."

Yuan Che disagreed, and ordered Yanjiang to send the Linhu brothers away overnight.

The more Chang Ji thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, so he asked Shen Shanzhi to chase him that night.

When they brought along a group of elite soldiers along the river to escort the Linhu brothers to the Shenwu Border Pass, they were suddenly robbed and killed. It was none other than the patriarch of the Cangyu clan, Cang Yuwei, and his son, Cang Yuce.They brought a large number of dead soldiers, and all the elite soldiers escorted were slaughtered, leaving only one person along the river.

They wanted to capture Yanjiang and the pair of Linhu brothers alive as evidence of Shen Shan's collusion with Linhu's liaison with foreign countries. Yanjiang had no expression on his face, and he fought against dozens of people, forcibly killing a bloody path.

Lin Hu's brothers took advantage of his unpreparedness, drew a dagger from their sleeves and stabbed him in the back.

Yan Jiang didn't even move his eyelids, he avoided the sword, turned around with his sword, cut down one of them with a sword, and the other flew back to Cang Yuwei's side.

Sure enough, it was Cangyu's conspiracy to frame Shenshan Mansion.

Yanjiang still had no expression on his face, half of his body was soaked in blood, and broke out of the encirclement.However, Cang Yuwei led the dead men in hot pursuit. The group chased out of the dense forest, and saw a person sitting on the back of a horse under the cold moonlight. His figure was extremely tall, and his dark figure was like a towering mountain.He took the lead, holding a silver longbow in his hand, and behind him hundreds of elite cavalry were arranged in a fan shape, all wearing black armor and holding longbows.

It was Shen Sanzhi who rushed over.

When they met on a narrow road, Shen Shanzhi spoke first: "Patriarch Cangyu, what do you want to do at the Shenshan Border Pass with the remnants of the Linhu clan in the middle of the night?"

Cang Yuwei narrowed his eyes, he originally wanted to use Lin Hu's to design Shen Shan's, but if Shen Shanzhi caught him, he would be beaten upside down instead, and immediately said: "Withdraw!"

Shen Shanzhi waved his hand on the horseback, and all the cavalry drew their bows and set their arrows together, and the arrows rained down like rain.Shen Shanzhi also pulled away the silver longbow, and shot Cang Yuwei's horse under the crotch with a "swish", the horse neighed and fell to the ground, and Cang Yuwei also fell off the horse.

After some fighting, most of the dead soldiers were also killed or injured.Seeing this, Cang Yuce's eyes flashed, and he made a decisive decision and killed the remaining member of the Linhu family.

Shen Shan Zhice was about to shoot Cang Yuwei, but Cang Yuce hurriedly jumped off his horse, stood in front of his father and said, "General Zuo, be merciful."

Shen Shanzhi pointed the arrow at him.

Cangyu said: "I have already killed the members of the Linhu family. There is no proof of death. Even in front of His Majesty, you can't tell who is right and who is wrong. It is just a trivial matter. But if the general kills the Cangyu family at this time The patriarch has become a major event, and the Cangyu clan will never let it go."

Shen Shanzhi sneered and said: "You think I, Shen Shan, are afraid of your Cang Yu?"

Cang Yuce hurriedly said: "I definitely don't mean that. It's just that the patriarch of the clan was killed, and His Majesty must intervene. This frame-up is a private conspiracy of my father, and outsiders don't know about it. King Shen Shan must not know about it. In order to Mr. Shen Shan, the general shouldn't make this matter public."

Emperor Chu has always favored the Cangyu family, if this matter really broke out, there is no evidence, Emperor Chu will only make a major incident into a small matter.But if the patriarch of the Cangyu Clan is killed at this time, Emperor Chu will definitely investigate to the end, and King Shen Shan and Yuan Che will be involved.

Shen Shanzhi thought for a moment, staring at Cang Yuwei, loosened the bowstring in his hand, and shot the feather arrow in his hand.

The arrow shot straight at Cang Yuwei with the force of thunder, Cang Yuwei and Cang Yuce were shocked, and when their lives were hanging by a thread, they saw that the arrow was unbiased, obliquely inserted into the ground in front of Cang Yuwei's toes superior.

Shen Shanzhi retracted the bowstring and said: "I let you go, I don't care about it, it's for the face of Mrs. Shen Shan and Kanmu."

Mrs. Shen Shan is from the Kanmu family, and Cang Yuce's wife is also from the Kanmu family. Shen Shan and Kanmu are inextricably linked.Therefore, Shen Shanzhi released Cang Yuwei and Cang Yuce.

Thinking of these old events, Chang Wei felt a little dazed.

Shen Shanzhi called her: "Your Highness..."

Chang Wei looked at him sideways, and he said: "Cang Yuce is still a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and he didn't say anything when he went back. Cang Yuwei has been quiet all these years, and he is probably discouraged by him. If you don’t wait to see him, he won’t offend His Highness again for no reason. Looking back now, if His Highness hadn’t been astute at the time, hadn’t noticed the abnormal situation, and ordered me to hunt him down overnight, I’m afraid the Cangyu clan used the Linhu clan to frame the Shenshan Mansion. The charge will be settled. If this is the case, I am afraid that it will be a bloody storm at that time. At that time, except for Cang Yuwei and Cang Yuce, everyone else was killed by me. Although this matter was done secretly, after all In Shenshan territory, the prince quickly noticed it. He questioned why I led the troops out at night, so I had to tell the truth, and the prince also praised His Highness for his wit and determination."
