Jiangbei female bandits

Chapter 62

Lu Xiao and Chen Nian avoided the bright fire, and just found a place to hide, but they heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the west.Chen Nian followed the sound and vaguely saw dozens of horses galloping from a distance.The team of knights was extremely fast, and they were approaching in the blink of an eye. As soon as Lu Xiao pulled Chen Nian back, he heard one of them report: "General, the fire seems to have just been lit, and people should not be far away."

The person called the general said "hmm", Chen Nian heard the deep and familiar voice, he couldn't help but look again, and saw that the person in the lead was actually Zheng Lun.

Zheng Lun glanced at the fire, and ordered: "Look around and see who is here."

Chen Nian secretly said "It's bad", he had always said that her words and deeds were dissolute, if he saw her and Lu Xiao here late at night again, he didn't know what to scold her, he would really be full of mouths and couldn't say no Cleared up.Her thoughts turned very quickly, and she hurriedly leaned into Lu Xiao's ear, and whispered: "I'm going out, you hide your whereabouts, and don't let them find out."

Although Lu Xiao didn't understand why Chen Nian was like this, he still nodded his head to express his understanding.

Chen Nian smiled at him, then got up and went out, biting the bullet and shouting loudly: "General Zheng!"

Zheng Lun was slightly taken aback when he heard her voice. He turned his horse's head and watched Chen Nian walk out of the darkness. When she got closer, he asked in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"

Chen Nian glanced at the crowd and saw that they were all cavalrymen under Zheng Lun, so he replied: "I was watching the moon at the Wangjiang Tower, and I accidentally saw a boat coming from the upper reaches. It was a bit strange to see those boats, so I decided to stop here." They built a fire and wanted to warn Shuiying on the other side of the river."

Zheng Lun looked at her, then raised his eyes to look at her previous hiding place, and asked lightly, "Are you enjoying the moon in Wangjiang Tower alone?"

Chen Nian nodded and said, "Yes."

Zheng Lun didn't believe it, and glanced at the guard next to him.The guard understood his eyes, and went to Chen Nian's hiding place calmly, seeing that there was no one else there, he shook his head secretly to Zheng Lun.

Chen Nian just pretended not to see the small movements of the guard, looked up at the horse, and asked Zheng Lun, "Why did General Zheng come here?"

Zheng Lun replied: "I followed those ships all the way, and when I saw a fire here, I came here to have a look."

While speaking, those boats were coming from upstream, Chen Nian saw them at a glance, pointed to Jiang Zhong and Zheng Lun and said, "Look, those boats are coming."

Zheng Lun also turned his head to look, his inner strength is stronger than Chen Nian's, he can already see at night, and said: "These boats all sailed quietly from the Taixing water army camp, they are not good at water warfare, most of them are for transporting troops. use."

Chen Nian frowned when he heard the words, and asked: "The He family is going to conduct a sneak attack? But with these few ships, even if they are full of people, what can they do?"

Zheng Lun thought for a while and replied: "A few miles to the east, not far from the south bank, is where the prince's granary is located."

Chen Nian was surprised when he heard it: "The He family is going to attack the granary?"

He Zhen had already agreed to retreat, but tonight he came to sneak attack on the Nan'an granary. This behavior is obviously extremely dishonest.But soldiers never tire of deceit, she once surrendered to He Zexiu during the day, but went to attack his camp at night.If He Zhen really did this, it would be regarded as an eye for an eye.

Zheng Lun didn't answer, but stretched out his hand to the side guards, and said in a deep voice, "Strong Bow."

The personal guard hurriedly took off the strong bow on his back and handed it over. Zheng Lun took it, set up an arrow and led the bow, and was about to shoot into the river, but Chen Nian suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."

Zheng Lun paused when he heard the sound, and turned his head to look at Chen Nian.

Chen Nian quickly tore off a corner of the clothes, took off the wine bag hanging on his waist, unplugged the plug and soaked the corner of the clothes with spirits, then reached out to ask Zheng Lun for the feather arrow, saying: "Give me the arrow."

Zheng Lun looked at her twice, and handed her the feather arrow in his hand.

Chen Nian saw that his eyes fell on his wine bag, smiled, and explained: "Just now I stole it from Wangjiang Tower, and I wanted to bring it back to the city for your prince to taste."

Zheng Lun couldn't tell whether his heart was sore or astringent, so he just lowered his eyes and didn't look at her.Chen Nian didn't care to look at his expression, he just lowered his head and wrapped the piece of cloth tightly around the arrowhead, handed it back to Zheng Lun, went to fetch fire from the fire, and said with a smile: "You have a try." , so it is possible to shoot into that boat?"

After she finished speaking, she clicked on the arrow.

Zheng Lun pursed his lips, pulled the strong bow to the maximum, loosened his fingers slightly, and the rocket shot towards the center of the river like a meteor, hitting the front ship.The boat suddenly burst into flames, and several people rushed out of the cabin to put out the flames, and some of them cursed loudly: "Who is so wicked? Why don't you take someone else's boat!"

After a while, the lights on several boats were lit up, and the boats and boats were brightly lit. Chen Nian looked at it from a distance, and saw a young man in brocade clothes coming out of the middle boat, he took a closer look, but he didn't expect it to be He Ze.

Chen Nian once slapped He Ze hard. He thought that even if he couldn't kill him, he would have to lie down for a month, but he didn't expect him to appear here alive and kicking.Chen Nian suddenly felt annoyed in his heart, turned his head and said to Zheng Lun: "Is there a way to get on his boat?"

As soon as she finished asking, she saw many boats coming upstream from the lower reaches and stopped all the boats in the river. It was the Jiangnan navy who had heard the news.After a while, a boat came to the north bank, and a small boat was released to pick up Zheng Lun and others.

Chen Nian didn't know where Lu Xiao was hiding at the moment, he just glanced back and followed Zheng Lun into the boat.Seeing her coming, Zheng Lun only glanced at her indifferently, and asked, "Does the lord know that you are here?"

Chen Nian didn't dare to tell him the truth, so he replied vaguely: "He knows I'm coming out."

Zheng Lun didn't ask any more questions, but hesitated for a while, but took off his cloak and threw it to her, saying in a low voice, "Put it on."

Chen Nian never cared about these little details, so he wrapped the cloak around his body when he heard the words.The boat was very small, and there were several people standing there, Zheng Lun turned his head slightly, and saw Chen Nian standing beside him, although the cloak covered her figure, it couldn't cover her head and face.Under the moonlight, I felt that her face was as white as jade, her brows were delicate and picturesque, and the sparkling water in the river was reflected in her dark pupils, which was even brighter than the stars in the sky.

His heart throbbed, and when he realized it, he felt a little annoyed, and wanted to take off the helmet for her. He raised his hands, and then realized that this behavior was too deliberate, so he put his hands on the helmet again. On the hilt of the sword, Shen Sheng ordered the guard: "Take off the helmet to her."

The personal guard hurriedly took off the helmet and handed it to Chen Nian.Chen Nian didn't know what Zheng Lun was thinking, he only thought that he was afraid of revealing his identity, so he silently took the helmet and put it on his head.Unexpectedly, the guard's head was much bigger than hers, and the helmet tilted forward, covering half of her face.Chen Nian stretched out his hand to push the helmet back, and as soon as his hand left, just in time for the boat to shake with the waves, the helmet slid off again.This time, even the bridge of the nose was covered, leaving only the small, white tip of the nose outside, which looked very ridiculous.

From the corner of Zheng Lun's eyes, he caught her movements in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Chen Nian had no choice but to support the helmet with his hands, and asked Zheng Lun, "Maybe you can change it to a smaller one?"

Zheng Lun tensed his face, and replied flatly, "No."

While talking, the boat was already close to the tall boat, and a ladder was lowered for the people in the boat, but Zheng Lun didn't use the ladder, he jumped up from the boat and onto the deck of the tall boat.Chen Nian could have jumped into the boat like him, but after thinking about it, he was afraid of attracting attention, so he put on the helmet and climbed up the ladder obediently.

Zheng Lun was quite surprised to see her like this, so he looked at her twice, but didn't say anything.There was a general of the navy on the boat upstairs, he went up to greet Zheng Lun, and said: "General Zheng, as soon as General Wan received the news, he ordered the younger one to come over, and now all the other ships have been blocked. Down."

Zheng Lun nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Send someone back to the army camp to inform General Wan, and ask him to send troops to protect the granary on the south bank to prevent the enemy from sneaking in from land."

The general heard the words and went to arrange the matter in a hurry.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Nian came to understand, walked behind Zheng Lun, and asked him in a low voice, "Are you afraid that He Ze will show up here on purpose to confuse us?"

Zheng Lun looked back at her and replied, "Not bad."

While speaking, the boat was already approaching the boat of the He family's navy.He Ze stood at the bow of the boat, raised his voice and laughed, "I don't think it's General Zheng here. General Zheng, like He Ze, came to enjoy the autumn moon on the river?"

Zheng Lun pressed his sword and said nothing, just looked at He Ze coldly.If someone else had reacted like this, he would feel embarrassed, but He Ze didn't care, and even invited Zheng Lun over, and said with a smile: "I have good wine on this boat, General Zheng wants to come and drink with him, Enjoy the autumn moon on the river together?"

Looking at him like this made Chen Nian feel annoyed, he just wanted to go up and beat him up first.Zheng Lun seemed to have sensed her emotions, glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and then took a step forward, blocking Chen Nian behind him without showing any trace.

I didn't want him to move like this, but it made He Ze notice Chen Nian.He Ze glanced slightly sideways. Although he couldn't see Chen Nian's face clearly, he could see some clues from her figure. When his eyes fell on her feet, he confirmed his guess.He Ze looked at Zheng Lun with a smile, and said, "It turns out that General Zheng is actually enjoying the moon with his beauty, no wonder he refuses to come on my boat."

Hearing this, Chen Nian simply stretched out his hand to push away Zheng Lun who was standing in front of him, supported his helmet with the other hand, exposed his whole face to He Ze on the opposite boat, and asked coldly: "He Twelve, you want to die, don't you?"

He Ze didn't expect Chen Nian to appear here, he was slightly taken aback, and then a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he said calmly, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Where is Feng Junyang? He didn't care you?"

Chen Nian didn't think that he would talk to him in such a tone, and after a second thought, he guessed that He Zhen might have told him his identity.She couldn't help but sneered, and asked, "Why? Could it be that the moon in the sky is for you to congratulate Twelve and One, and you are only allowed to enjoy the moon on the river, but no one else is allowed to see it?"

Zheng Lun looked at her sideways, and said lightly, "What nonsense are you talking to him about!"

When the two of them talked like this, He Ze couldn't help laughing angrily.Although he had other thoughts about Chen Nian before, he didn't know that she was his cousin at that time, so it can be said that those who don't know are not guilty.And she knew her life experience a long time ago, but she still killed him like that, which shows that she didn't care about the brotherhood.He Ze looked at Chen Nian and Zheng Lun, laughed mockingly, and said, "I forgot, these two are legitimate couples, not to mention admiring the moon in the middle of the night, even if they get together, they should do something together."

This sentence directly hit the hearts of Chen Nian and Zheng Lun.Zheng Lun exerted strength in his hand and tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, but Chen Nian flew up from the bow of the boat and rushed towards He Ze on the opposite boat.She made a sudden attack, and her figure was extremely fast. Before everyone could react, Chen Nian had already rushed in front of He Ze, and slapped him in front of him with a wave of his palm.

He Ze hurriedly drew back, but his martial arts were far inferior to Chen Nian's, and he was seriously injured at the moment, so he barely avoided Chen Nian's palm, and hurriedly shouted: "He Chen Nian! How dare you kill brother?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Nian's palm was a false move, but another palm was raised quickly, and He Ze slapped loudly across the face with a slap.He Zehe had never been humiliated like this in public before, and he was so angry that he forgot his life and death for a moment, and opened his mouth to curse.

Chen Nian raised his hand and gave another slap, and said in a cold voice: "If you scold me, I will slap you, I want to see if I can't stand your scolding first, or if you can't stand my slap first! "

He Ze's personal guards rushed over from all directions, intending to rescue He Ze.Seeing this, Zheng Lun also flew across the boat, put his sword on He Ze's shoulder, and said coldly: "Whoever dares to take a step forward, I will kill He Ze first."

Everyone was afraid of Zheng Lun's prestige, so they didn't dare to act rashly for a while.He Ze was slapped twice by Chen Nian, he felt shocked and angry, but he didn't dare to say anything, he just stared at Chen Nian in silence.Chen Nian was not afraid of him, he looked at He Ze indifferently for a moment, and suddenly said to Zheng Lun: "I don't think he is going to attack the Jiangnan Granary."

When He Ze heard this, he was startled, and his eyes flashed.

Seeing his expression, Chen Nian became more certain of his guess, then turned his head and said to Zheng Lun: "If he really intends to sneak attack on the Jiangnan granary, he shouldn't be so ostentatious and draw everyone's attention to the granary. I guess he might I deliberately lured you out." She paused for a while, then glanced at He Ze again, and suddenly asked Zheng Lun, "How is your camp prepared? Don't fall for his tricks."

Zheng Lun's complexion changed slightly, and he asked He Ze in a cold voice, "Really?"

He Ze smiled mockingly, and said, "That's right, but it's a pity that you understand too late. My cavalry has already landed secretly, and in a short while, we will enter your camp."

Zheng Lun didn't think that he would fall into He Ze's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and was extremely annoyed. He pressed the long sword in his hand to He Ze's neck, and he already had the intent to kill.

At this time, the Jiangnan navy had already controlled all the enemy ships, and even the big ship He Ze was on was firmly held by several warships with long hooks.The navy general ordered someone to build a plank between the two boats, strode over to the boat, and reported to Zheng Lun: "General Zheng, all ten enemy ships have been captured by our army."

Chen Nian's heart moved when he heard this, and he said to Zheng Lun: "Don't worry, I have a way to make him regret his past."

Her words attracted Zheng Lun and He Ze to look at her together. Chen Nian smiled and said, "Since he is going to raid your military camp, let's touch his water village. Anyway, there are warships of his He family's navy here. It’s useless. It’s better to pack more dry firewood and dry grass and go back, light it up, and burn down his water village. I’d like to see, without the boat, what kind of navy is his He family’s navy!”

Before Zheng Lun could speak, He Ze couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "You bastard girl, don't forget, your surname is also He!"

"My surname is not He, but my surname is Xie!" Chen Nian said lightly.

But He Ze sneered, and said: "If you don't recognize this surname, the blood shed on your body is not from my He family, are you not the daughter of my He family? You have taken all the benefits of my He family, You still have the mouth to say that your surname is not He! If your surname is not He, you will treat you like this? If your surname is not He, how can uncle compromise with him and give up this Yiping?"

"Ridiculous!" Chen Nian couldn't help laughing, and said, "I've never eaten a piece of food from your He family, or worn a piece of clothing from your He family. What good did I take from your He family? This Yiping is clearly your He family's victory." No, why did you say it was a concession? As for how Feng Junyang treated me, what does it have to do with your He family?"

He Ze raised his jaw slightly, and said proudly: "I am here with the Taixing navy, how can I not take this little Yiping! If I let Yiping go, taking advantage of the emptiness of troops in the south of the Yangtze River, I will go straight down the river to Shengdu, How can Feng Junyang stop me? Just rely on his Jiangnan navy? Haha, what a joke! If Feng Junyang is not afraid of my navy, why would he put you in Yiping? Uncle, isn’t it just to make Uncle take care of you, so that Yiping can be handed over to him?”

Chen Nian was startled slightly, frowned and asked, "What did you say?"

Zheng Lun also sensed something was wrong, pressed the long sword in his hand against He Ze's neck, and shouted in a cold voice: "Shut up, stop talking nonsense!"

Chen Nian reached out to clamp Zheng Lun's sword point: "Tell him to finish speaking!"

Zheng Lunjian frowned, looked at her, and said: "You have to believe what he says? Don't you see that he is deliberately provoking?"

Chen Nian understands that He Ze's words are definitely not out of good intentions, but no matter whether he intends to or not, she has to make this matter clear. "Whether it's true or not, you'll know when you hear it." She moved Zheng Lun's sword away from He Ze's neck with force, and looked straight at He Ze and said, "Say what you just said again!"

Although He Ze said those words on the spur of the moment, he didn't have any good intentions. Hearing what Chen Nian said, he said, "I said that Feng Junyang deliberately put you in Yiping so that Uncle would miss you. .”

"Not this sentence!" Chen Nian said.

He Ze thought that since Chen Nian refused to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, he would definitely not want his life experience to be revealed.He paused for a while, and then said: "I said he deliberately leaked your life experience to uncle."

Chen Nian asked, "What evidence is there?"

Chen Nian's life experience was leaked from the Xian family. Speaking of it, it was He Zhen who investigated it himself. How could He Ze have any evidence to give Chen Nian.However, he is also a cunning person. He only smiled coldly when he heard the words, and said: "Who is Feng Junyang, you still don't know? How can he easily leave people with a clue when he does things!"

Chen Nian sneered, and said: "Since there is no evidence, there is no proof. I know who Feng Junyang is. But I also know who you are. Not to mention anything else, just talk about character , you are still far behind him."

He Ze was annoyed when he heard this, and sneered: "You really have long hair and short knowledge! Although your life experience was leaked from the Xian family, don't you think about it, why didn't you leak it sooner or later? Leaked out at ordinary times? He clearly calculated the timing, so he deliberately leaked your life experience to uncle."

Chen Nian suddenly remembered what Lu Xiao said just now, and his heart beat faster, but he still tried his best to maintain indifference on his face, and asked He Ze, "You said this news was leaked from the Xian family?"

"That's right." He Ze nodded and said, "Uncle has been sending people to find out about your whereabouts, but it's hard to get any news. Not long ago, there was news from the Murong Department of the Xian Family that it was a man named Qiu Muling. The people of Yue brought the orphan of the princess back to the royal court, and uncle found out about your origin."

Chen Nian only heard the three words "Murongbu", and couldn't hear the words after that clearly.Murong Department, Murong Department, Lu Xiao just said that he once saw Fan Jingyun who changed his face in Murong Department, and then Murong Department began to oppose Li Yunsheng as a queen, and then the identity of the adoptive father was leaked from Murong Department...

Is it all just a coincidence?

But where do so many coincidences come from in this world!Chen Nian hadn't doubted the sudden leak of her life experience, but she chose to believe in Feng Junyang.He said he didn't know, and she believed it.

Although Chen Nian's face was still calm, his lips had already lost their color.The long sword clearly transmitted the trembling from her fingertips to Zheng Lun's hand, causing Zheng Lun's heart to tremble slightly, with a slight pain, but also a little despicable, unspeakable pleasure.He is extremely conflicted in his heart now, rationality tells him that he should stop He Ze and defend Feng Junyang at this moment, but another kind of mind hopes that He Ze can speak out all the words, so that Chen Nian can know the truth.

He Ze continued: "Whether you recognize the He family or not, Feng Junyang's marriage to you is a marriage with our He family. Even because of his uncle's guilt towards you, it is more important for Feng Junyang to marry you than to marry Yunsheng." It can benefit. He has calculated this correctly, so he will do everything possible to hold you in his palm, so as to restrain his uncle. Do you really think that he loves you because he loves you?"

Chen Nian stood silently, not feeling any pain in her heart, she just seemed a little empty, she suddenly remembered that Feng Junyang had said that he would never lie to her again, that he would treat her well in the future, and that he would call her Believe him... Now that I think about it, he actually said these words a long time ago, and she believed them then.

Three years later, when he said that again, she still believed him.

There was undisguised contempt and mockery in He Ze's eyes, Chen Nian saw it, but unexpectedly calmed down.She had already been fooled by Feng Junyang as a fool, and should not be treated as a joke by He Ze anymore.This thought supported him, causing her to bend her lips and smile at He Ze, saying, "If I believe everything you say, I will be really stupid!"

Holding the tip of the sword, she put the long sword on He Ze's neck again, then raised her eyes to Zheng Lun, and said calmly, "It's too late to report the news even if the horse returns to the camp quickly, so it's better to use his plan and use him." These boats are going back to burn his water village. Just hurry up and go back before dawn, otherwise it will be easy to reveal the truth."

He Ze never expected Chen Nian to react like this, and was momentarily stunned.

Zheng Lun looked at Chen Nian with a complicated expression, and while he was thinking about it, another soldier rushed over the boat to report the military situation, saying: "General, there are a few more Taixing warships coming from upstream."

Chen Nian and Zheng Lun felt weird when they heard the words, but He Ze's expression changed.After a while, the leading boat came into everyone's sight, and they saw that the lights on the boat were very bright, and there was a general standing on the bow, it was He Zhen.

He Zhen's boat was parked in the distance, and the sergeant on board raised the lantern in his hand and played a string of lights. The navy general standing behind Zheng Lun looked at it for a while, and reported to Zheng Lun: "General Zheng, He Zhen is going to cross the boat. Come."

Seeing that He Zhen dared to come alone, Zheng Lun faintly understood, turned his head to look at He Ze coldly, and asked, "He Twelve, did you do what happened tonight behind He Zhen's back?"

He Ze pursed his lips tightly, gritted his teeth and did not answer.

Zheng Lun ordered the general: "Please come here."

The side general then took a lantern from the soldier beside him and sent a message to the other side's ship.But after a while, He Zhen changed to a light boat and got on the big boat. He glanced at Chen Nian and He Ze first, and then said to Zheng Lun in a deep voice: "General Zheng, your camp is safe and sound. Please release my nephew."

Although Zheng Lun guessed that He Zhen didn't want to fall out with Feng Junyang now, he was afraid that he would deceive him, so he said, "General He, I have to wait for the news from the camp before I can release the Twelve Young Masters. Please forgive me, General He." .”

He Zhen was neither in a hurry nor angry, and responded lightly, "Okay."

With Zheng Lun's personal guards disembarked and landed, he hurried back to the camp to check the situation.Zheng Lun had to give He Zhen some face, so he couldn't make him stand on the deck and wait, so he invited him to wait in the cabin.He Zhen didn't refuse, but stopped when he passed by Chen Nian, and stood there silently looking at her.

Chen Nian raised his eyes and looked at him, the corner of his mouth suddenly curled into a hint of sarcasm, and said: "General He, you really don't need to be so hypocritical. You and I both know that you are not a loving father, and I am by no means a filial daughter."

He Ze was at the side, hearing Chen Nian say such words, he was about to yell and curse, but before he could speak, Chen Nian's long knife was unsheathed with a swipe, and it was pressed against his neck .She squinted at him coldly, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "He Twelve, if you dare to scold me, I will dare to kill you. Let's compare the two, who is more courageous?"

He Zhen frowned, and said coldly, "Ze'er back down!"

Although He Ze was annoyed in every way, he could only take a step back.Only then did He Zhen look at Chen Nian, and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, he is your elder brother!"

"I don't have such a despicable and shameless elder brother! Similarly, I don't have such a cruel and calculating father like you." Chen Nian sneered, and said, "General He, I advise you, don't ask Nephew Ling to say that your He family is for I will abandon Yiping. Saying this, not only can’t fool others, but it will make him look extremely stupid. Why don’t you attack Yiping, you know it best in your heart, it’s just a temporary compromise with Feng Junyang. It's just the benefits. Don't call the choice after weighing the interests into your own sacrifice, it's not a joke."

He Zhen glanced at He Ze with a gloomy expression, and asked coldly, "What did you tell her?"

He Ze felt a little flustered, but he didn't dare not answer, and said, "My nephew just wants to persuade her to recognize her ancestors and return to her clan."

He opened his eyes and spoke nonsense like this, causing Chen Nian to let out a slight sneer, and sneered: "What a recognition of the ancestors!"

He Zhen looked at Chen Nian, and said: "You recognize your ancestors and return to your clan. It will be beneficial to Feng Junyang, to the He family, and to yourself! I still think you are smart and clever, but you are so naive if you don't know it. Although your mother You are also stubborn, but not as stupid as you!"

It's fine if you don't mention your mother, but if you mention it, it will make Chen Nian Sheng hate even more. She stared at He Zhen and slowly asked, "Why do you have the face to mention my mother?"

This question left He Zhen speechless, but extremely annoyed. He raised his hand and wanted to hit Chen Nian, but when he saw her stubborn face that was very similar to his dead wife, he felt a pain in his heart, and that hand would no longer matter. No matter what, I can't fall anymore.Slowly lowering the palm, He Zhen closed his eyes, turned and left without looking at Chen Nian again.

Because Chen Nian refused to let He's family see the joke, he managed to survive until now.Seeing that He Zhen, He Ze and others entered the cabin, she didn't want to be with them, and wanted to go ashore to find Lu Xiao to ask about the Murong Ministry, so she secretly pulled Zheng Lun's sleeve and said to him: "You send a boat Send me ashore, I want to go back to the city."

Zheng Lun glanced at her, but said: "You wait for a while, wait for the news from Daying, and I will send you back to the city."

Chen Nian frowned when he heard the words, and said: "I'm such a big man, I don't need you to send me."

Zheng Lun lowered his eyes slightly, and said: "If you escape from my hands again, I can't explain to the prince."

Chen Nian was stunned for a moment, and said with a sneer, "Don't say that I didn't think of running away this time, even if I really wanted to run away, you wouldn't be able to stop me! If you don't want to send me a boat, I'll just rob it."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly jumped towards the boat that He Zhen came in, cut the cable with a backhand knife, and ordered the sergeant who stayed on the boat to sail.Unexpectedly, those sergeants were extremely stubborn, even if Chen Nian threatened them with a knife, they refused to sail.Seeing this, Chen Nian felt that anyone could bully her, and when his temper came up for a while, he simply arrested those people and threw them into the big boat, and went to steer the small boat by himself.Unexpectedly, the small boat hadn't gone far, and another person flew off from the big boat.

Seeing Zheng Lun chasing after him, Chen Nian raised his eyebrows to look at him, and asked, "What? Are you looking for me to fight again?"

Zheng Lun lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I'll take you ashore."

Chen Nian was a little surprised and couldn't help but startled.Zheng Lun didn't speak any more, and only manipulated the boat skillfully.After a while, the boat arrived at the riverside.Chen Nian jumped to the shore, turned to look at Zheng Lun, hesitated for a moment, and thanked him: "Thank you."

Zheng Lun was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Where are you going?"

Chen Nian misunderstood that he was afraid that he would run away, so he said: "Don't worry, even if you want to leave, I will ask Feng Junyang to ask you clearly before leaving, and I will never let you be troubled by me."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and left in a hurry.

Zheng Lun stood on the boat, stared at her for a long time, then punted and left.When the boat was about to reach the center of the river, he turned his head inadvertently, only to find that there was a figure beside Chen Nian at some point.Because the distance was far away and it was night, Zheng Lun couldn't see the man's face clearly, only felt that the man was tall and straight, obviously a young man, walking side by side with Chen Nian, turning his head to look at Chen Nian from time to time, as if is saying something.

Zheng Lun narrowed his eyes slightly, and it took him a moment to recognize that the person was actually Lu Xiao, and suddenly realized that Chen Nian had lied to him before, and she was not alone by the river, but with Lu Xiao.He suddenly felt cheated by her again, and couldn't help feeling annoyed in his heart, with a little force in his hand, he crushed the handle of the oar.

But Chen Nian and Lu Xiao were two on the shore, Lu Xiao saw Chen Nian's expression was very ugly, and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? I think the person on the boat seems to be He Ze, is it really the He family who came to sneak attack?"

"It's He Ze." Chen Nian briefly told Lu Xiao what happened on the boat.After saying this, she raised her eyes to look at him, and asked suddenly, "Do you know the whereabouts of my adoptive father?"

Lu Xiao is someone trusted by Tuobayao, so he knows where Mu Zhanyue is now, but the matter is so important that he can't tell Chen Nian, so he replied: "Yes, but without the king's permission, I can't go with him yet." you say."

Chen Nian knew his difficulties as a minister, nodded slowly, and said: "I understand."

Lu Xiao smiled apologetically at her, and said, "But I can tell you one thing, Lord Qiu Muling is fine now, you don't have to worry about him."

Chen Nian was silent for a while, but then asked again: "Does the Murong Department have Tuoba Yao's trust?"

Lu Xiao replied: "The king relies heavily on the Murong family, otherwise Yun Sheng's resistance would not be so great."

Chen Nian stopped to look at Lu Xiao, and said: "My life experience has been leaked. According to He Ze, I learned from Murong's department that Yunsheng was brought to the royal court by my adoptive father. I really want to know now, Murong Why did the Ministry leak such news, and how did they know? Did it come from Tuobayao, or... Fan Jingyun used tricks in it."

Lu Xiao was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and asked Chen Nian, "Do you suspect Feng Junyang?"

Chen Nian smiled wryly: "This is the best thing for him."

Lu Xiao thought about it for a while, but said fairly: "It is indeed Feng Junyang who hindered Yun Sheng from becoming an empress. As for the leak of your identity, there is no sufficient evidence that he did it."

Chen Nian was a little surprised when he heard this, turned his head to look at Lu Xiao, but couldn't help but smile, and said: "This is the difference between you and Feng Junyang. If it were him, he would definitely not answer like this I."

Lu Xiao wondered, "How will he answer you?"

Chen Nian thought for a while and said with a smile: "He clearly said it wasn't you, but when he heard it in people's ears, he would make people believe it was you."

Lu Xiao smiled heartily and said, "A man should be frank and frank!"

Chen Nian nodded, and asked Lu Xiao again: "Who knows that Yun Sheng was taken to the royal court by my adoptive father?"

Lu Xiao replied: "This matter is extremely confidential, only a few people know about it, and they are all trusted by the king. However, on the way back to the royal court with Yun Sheng, Lord Qiu Muling was hunted down by killers, and the accompanying guards were killed and injured. However, it can be seen that even though they are so careful, some news has leaked out. Since the Murong Department is determined to stop Wang Li Yunsheng from becoming the empress, they must trace Yunsheng's origin, so it is also possible to find Lord Qiu Muling."

Chen Nian thought for a moment, and said: "If I'm not wrong, my adoptive father didn't show up in Shangjing, but went to another place incognito, right?"

Lu Xiao was very surprised when he heard the words, and asked: "How do you know?" As soon as he asked this, he couldn't help laughing first, and said: "I forgot, you are so smart, you must have guessed it from my words. "

"It's easy to guess. If it wasn't like this, how could his identity not be revealed until now." Chen Nian paused for a while, then frowned slightly, and asked again, "What did he do?"

But Lu Xiao refused to answer, Chen Nian knew he was in trouble, so he smiled lightly and said: "Forget it, don't ask."

Seeing her forced smile, Lu Xiao felt a little worried in his heart, and called out to her, "Chen Nian?"

Chen Nian raised his head, smiled at him, and said, "I'm fine."

The two walked side by side for a while, and Lu Xiao suddenly said: "If you suspect that Feng Junyang leaked your life experience, I will investigate this matter for you after I return to Shangjing. If it is really him, there will always be traces of it." Leave."

Chen Nian shook his head, and said softly: "You don't need to check, I'll go back and ask Feng Junyang."

Lu Xiao glanced at her, nodded and said, "Alright."

At this time, the sky has gradually brightened, and the city wall of Yiping can be vaguely seen in the distance.Chen Nian looked up at the towering city tower, stopped, and said to Lu Xiao, "You don't have to send me into the city, let's go with the sparrow."

Lu Xiao looked at her for a moment, but asked, "If Feng Junyang really did it, what should you do?"

There was a trace of confusion on Chen Nian's face, and he said: "To be honest, I don't know what to do. In fact, I already have an answer in my heart whether this is what he did. It's just that I can't give up and want to go to him. Need an answer."

After hearing this, Lu Xiao wanted to persuade her to go with him, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to say those words.Seeing him like this, Chen Nian raised his spirits and smiled at him, cupped his hands and said: "I bid farewell to you today, and hope to see you again in the future, take care!"

After saying that, he didn't even look at Lu Xiao again, and ran towards Yiping City with lightness kung fu.Lu Xiao stood there for a while, worried after all, hurriedly chased after him.It's just that Chen Young's skills are very good, and he has already gone far in such a short time.Lu Xiao chased straight to the outside of the city gate, but he failed to catch up with Chen Nian.

Chen Nian hurried all the way and entered the city, just outside the gate of Chengshou's mansion, he happened to see Feng Junyang coming out of the mansion.Feng Junyang saw Chen Nian at a glance, his eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly walked towards her, and then slowed down again until he got close, but the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, and he asked her with a smile: "Are you back?"

Chen Nian said nothing, just stood there and looked at him silently.

Feng Junyang is such an obedient person, he can tell at a glance that Chen Nian's expression is wrong.It's just that he didn't know that when Chen Nian saw He Ze last night, he thought she was like this because of Lu Xiao, and seeing her reddish eyes, haggard face, feeling a little sour in his heart, he said in a low voice, "You go and come back." It's good, I went all night before returning, I'm afraid I won't be angry."

Although he was complaining, but his tone was still so intimate, Chen Nian felt a dull pain in his heart, forced a smile at him, and asked him: "You want to go out?"

"Last night, the army sent news that the He family had a warship coming to the east. I have to go and have a look." Feng Junyang said, reaching out to caress Chen Nian's somewhat scattered temples.Unexpectedly, Chen Nian turned his head sideways, avoiding his hand.Feng Junyang was slightly taken aback, his hands froze in mid-air for a moment, and then he asked her softly, "What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"

Chen Nian slightly raised his head to look at him, and said, "Ah Ce, I want to ask you something, can you tell me the truth?"

Even at this moment, she still had an extravagant hope in her heart, hoping that he hadn't calculated her identity before, and even, even if he had calculated her identity before, after the two of them had a heart-to-heart relationship, he would be honest with her instead of Continue to hide and deceive.

Chen Nian's words and deeds were too weird, which made Feng Junyang feel inexplicably uneasy. He subconsciously shook Chen Nian's hand and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Nian stared into his eyes without moving: "But you, Fan Jingyun, leaked the identity of my adoptive father to the Murong Ministry?"

Feng Junyang's pupils tightened suddenly. He looked at Chen Nian silently for a moment, bent his lips and chuckled, and asked her, "Did Lu Xiao tell you? Do you believe me or him?"

The last glimmer of hope in Chen Nian's heart was also shattered, she slowly closed her eyes, looked at Feng Junyang again, and said in a harsh voice, "I just ask if you are?"

Feng Junyang replied in a deep voice: "No, I didn't do it."

Chen Nian nodded, and wanted to withdraw his hand from his palm, but he held it so tightly that she couldn't break free.Chen Nian had no choice but to give up this plan, and said softly: "Feng Junyang, I want you to swear to me that you did not do this."

"Okay." Feng Junyang responded without thinking, raised his right hand, and swore, "I, Feng Junyang, swear to the Tianmeng that if I did this, I will die a terrible death."

Chen Nian smiled at him, but said: "A Ce, I don't want you to die badly. If you say this, if Feng Junyang did this, it will make Xie Chennian shorten his life and die badly."

Feng Junyang's body froze suddenly, his throat seemed to be strangled, and he couldn't speak a word.

Chen Nian still looked at him with a smile, and said, "Tell me, Ah Ce, if you are willing to make such an oath, I will believe you."

Feng Junyang's thin lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't make such a poisonous oath after opening and closing several times.In the end, he smiled shyly and said, "If you believe me, you will believe it. Why bother stabbing me in the heart like this."

Chen Nian lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand to cover his left chest, quietly felt the strong heartbeat under his clothes, and murmured, "You also feel pain? But is there really a heart here?"
