Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 83

Old Shen's house.

Ye Lingwu stood absent-mindedly in the corridor, her hands and feet were cold.

Thinking about the dreamlike words last night, and the story Sun Kunqian told himself in the carriage, will Shen Zhan go to the banquet tonight?

After thinking about it, he finally walked towards the stables in the backyard.

The night was dark, and the sky suddenly drizzled.

As soon as Ye Lingwu left the yard, she saw Shen Ci walking towards the night, as if she had come to talk to her.

Compared to Ye Lingwu, Shen Ci was more childish: "It's so late, where are you going?"

Ye Lingwu's mind was in such a mess that she didn't know where to start, so she said helplessly, "I'm going to the Zhizhou government."

Shen Ci frowned, and said in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing in Zhizhou Prefecture? Find Sun Kun?" Why are you looking for that dead old man.

Ye Lingwu was anxious and restless, and she didn't bother to explain to him, so she passed Shen Ci and went to the backyard.

Only one candle was lit in the stable, and when Ye Lingwu pulled out the horse that Sun Kunqian had given her that day in the dark, she saw Shen Ci also pull out a horse.

"Why are you following me?" Ye Lingwu was surprised.

Shen Ci said angrily: "What else can you do, you are going to find Sun Kunqian, I can't keep a close eye on you yet."

Ye Lingwu: "..."

The old Shen's house is far away from Zhizhou's mansion, one is in the south and the other is in the north. Under the boundless night, there are no pedestrians on the street. Shen Ci and Ye Lingwu rode horses all the way to Zhizhou's mansion unimpeded.

On the way, Ye Lingwu finally explained why she was going to Zhizhou Mansion, and Shen Ci, who knew that her elder brother might be in trouble, raised her whip and galloped out first.

When they arrived, the gate of Zhizhou Mansion was closed.

Inside the high wall, the sound of fighting and shouting was particularly eerie in the night, and the surrounding people seemed to be aware of it, but they didn't dare to go forward to ask, so they had to hide far away, or stood behind the door and looked around.

Shen Ci looked at the gate of Zhizhou Mansion, frowning.

Ye Lingwu arrived later, pulling the reins tightly, her messy head finally regained consciousness after hearing a scream from the high wall, turned her head to look at the city not far away, turned her head and said to Shen: "Light the beacon tower!"

The Beacon Tower is not a tower, but built on the city tower, which symbolizes the start of the war. When the beacon smoke is lit, the black flag guards outside the city will definitely be able to see it.

Similarly, the beacon smoke cannot be lighted casually, once it is lit, there will be riots in the city.

Shen Ci was stunned for a moment, but without hesitation, he raised his whip and drove towards the gate of the city. Ye Lingwu followed closely behind. When he arrived at the gate, there were six or seven soldiers on duty standing underneath.

"Stop!!"

"There is a curfew at this moment, how dare you break into the city gate!"

Two soldiers stopped Shen Ci and Ye Lingwu who were coming on horseback.

Shen Ci tightened the reins, stopped the horse and said sharply: "I am the second son of Ningbei Hou's Mansion. There is turmoil in the Zhizhou Mansion. Let your leader go to light the beacon tower."

The two soldiers looked at each other.

One person said: "Beacon towers can't be lighted casually!"

Seeing their resolute expressions, Shen Ci didn't say much nonsense, and got off his horse and walked up the stone steps of the tower. Ye Lingwu also dismounted.

Seeing that they dared to trespass, the two soldiers drew their knives and said, "Again, the Beacon Tower can't be ordered casually!"

Ye Lingwu said anxiously: "Brothers, something really happened to Zhizhou Mansion, and the consequences of this Beacon Tower would be disastrous!"

"I said, this beacon tower..."

The soldier was kicked away by Shen Ci before he finished speaking. Ye Lingwu was dumbfounded on the spot, and then heard Shen Ci say lightly, "If you spend more time with them, my brother's life is gone. You are here!" wait".

After all, the young man in red ran up the tower through the night, and someone shouted "someone broke into the gate", and all the soldiers on duty below the tower chased after the red spot on the tower.

There was constant noise from the high city tower, Ye Lingwu waited anxiously at the same place, and the fire of the beacon tower had not been seen for a long time.

Whether those soldiers were armed with knives or not, Shen Ci was unarmed. If he was caught or hacked there, he would be in danger of death. Ye Lingwu regretted it. She shouldn't have let Shen Ci go up the tower alone.

"Shen Jingyan!"

Ye Lingwu yelled towards the tower, eyes filled with mist.

For a moment, she seemed to have returned to the night when she was abandoned in Qingquan Temple. The wind was very strong, and she sat slumped outside the temple gate and cried. The helpless feeling made her panic in the dark.

The lingering sound echoed in the night, and Shen Ci's reply was heard after a long time.

Ye Lingwu panicked, she lifted her skirt and was about to run towards the stone steps of the tower.

There are more than a hundred stone steps, and after Ye Lingwu climbed up, her heart almost jumped out of her throat, but before she had time to catch her breath, she started running towards the Beacon Tower.

"Shen Jingyan!"

The echo floated in the darkness, and what responded to her was the raging fire that suddenly ignited from the beacon tower on the top of the city tower.

The flame instantly illuminates a corner of the tower!
The black flag guards who had been waiting outside the city gate saw the flames engulfing the darkness on the city wall of the moon. The silence like a black pool was broken, and the beacon smoke was like a big stone thrown into the pool, causing waves.

Like a fiery snake hovering, accompanied by the same sound of rumbling horseshoes, it quickly crossed the empty and cold plain.

The city tower seemed to be shaking, Ye Lingwu raised his eyes and looked out of the city, only to see a group of soldiers in black armor rushing out of the darkness, their horseshoes were like tigers howling and wolves running, and they came under the city wall in just a moment.

Hundreds of black banner guards reined in and stopped their horses under the city wall, and a black and gold-rimmed battle flag with the word "Shen" was raised high.

"We are the Marquis of Ningbei, and we are the Black Banner Guards. We also ask the tower guards to open the city gate!" A loud shout pierced the darkness, and it was deafening.

Ning Beihou Banner, Black Banner Guards, and the soldiers chasing on the city wall have never seen such a battle. They took a look at the general who came down from the city, and immediately led everyone to rush down the city tower.

Ye Lingwu was stunned, and before she could react, a hand by her side had pulled her and ran down the city wall. Ye Lingwu raised her head to see the tall and tall young man in red.

The wind on the tower was very strong, and the blue hair hanging on her chest was blown in disorder, and her heart was beating wildly.

The gate of the city opened slowly, and the black flag guards downstairs in the outer city immediately galloped their horses, and the "Shen" flag was blown up again by the wind, invisibly commanding the black flag guards.

Shen Ci dragged Ye Lingwu down the tower, and hundreds of black flag guards were waiting at the gate of the city, as if they were waiting for the report from the front.

Qin Xiao sat on the horseback, looked at the men and women walking towards them, with his eagle eyes that could accurately capture the movement even in the dark night, Qin Xiao recognized the boy on the left as Shen resignation.

He has been in contact with Shen Ci several times, and he has a deep memory.

At that time, the young Shen Ci always liked to practice swords behind Shen Zhan's ass, but the six or seven-year-old Shen Ci obviously couldn't even hold the epee steadily, and his round cheeks were flushed and refused to let go.

He thought that Shen Ci would lead the army to fight like Shen Zhan in the future, but what he didn't expect was that when he grew up, Shen Ci would become a well-known playboy in the capital.

Qin Xiao came back to his senses, got off his horse and cupped his fists and said, "Second Young Master Shen!"

Shen Ci's expression was solemn, and he clasped his fists in a serious manner and said: "Lieutenant Qin, I know that there is a change in the state government, please lead your troops to go with me."

Qin Xiao's face changed suddenly, and even though he had many doubts, he was suppressed. He didn't dare to underestimate the young man in front of him with a faint sense of determination. He replied "Yes!" and walked towards the horse.

Shen Ci looked back at the girl behind him, and said in a deep voice, "You go back first, I will take Captain Qin to Zhizhou Mansion."

"I'm with you, I won't make trouble."

Ye Lingwu grabbed Shen Ci's sleeve.

She knew that she could do nothing and was useless, but at the moment she didn't want Shen Ci to leave her again. She didn't want to experience the feeling of suffocation just now.

Shen Ci knew very well that he couldn't gossip at this moment, so he turned around and got on the horse without hesitation, and said, "Then follow me closely."

The sound of horseshoes broke the long and peaceful night of the moon.

When Shen Ci led the black flag guards to Zhizhou Mansion, there were flames floating inside the high wall, mixed with screams and the sound of swords colliding.

Qin Xiao, who was walking at the front, was holding a trident weighing more than [-] kilograms. Seeing that the gate of the Zhizhou mansion was closed, he raised the trident and attacked the gilded mansion gate. A big hole was broken in the mansion gate! !

The Black Banner Guard didn't stop for a moment, he rode through the gate of the mansion and rushed in. He moved quickly, methodically, and neatly.
