Zhao Ming frowned slightly, with some doubts: "But she is a daughter of the Shang family, and I heard that she is quite powerful in martial arts..."

Mr. Ye waved his hand indifferently: "No matter how powerful she is, she is just a woman. It is enough for His Highness to bribe a few soldiers at will."

Zhao Ming looked at Mr. Ye suspiciously, seeing the latter's confident and fairy-like appearance, he believed it, so he immediately sent someone to join the team of five hundred elite soldiers.

Zhao Ming gave those three people a few words, and then sat silently in the hall, not knowing what he was thinking, fiddled with the small-leaf red sandalwood bracelet with his right hand once and for all.

After a long while, he curled up his mouth and came to the back garden of the county prince's mansion. He pushed open an inconspicuous and abandoned wooden door, and there were more than ten tombstones densely packed inside. Beside the tombstones were beautiful cannas and poppies. , is a bit more gorgeous than the flowers that the most careful gardener takes care of, and it looks a bit coquettish.

On the tombstone in the middle, it is engraved with "My Beloved Wife Shang Jieyou". There are 12 yuan tombstones surrounding Shang Jieyou's tomb. The "sudden death" girl of a powerful family.

Zhao Ming went straight to Shang Jieyou's tomb, a smile slowly bloomed on his soft and cold face, he bent down, hugged Shang Jieyou's tomb, rubbed his cheeks affectionately, like a lover: "Jieyou, you Don't worry, I will avenge you right away, and when those people are dead, I will come to you, okay?"

Of course, no one could answer him. A gust of cold wind blew by, and the black clothes on Zhao Ming's body billowed in the wind. From a distance, it looked like a cloud of dark clouds, ready to set off a violent storm at any time.

……

As soon as Shang Shaoyan and his party left Shengjing, they learned that Emperor Chen had sent five hundred elite soldiers to escort them.

Shang Shaoyan knew that this was Shang Yunlan's idea - he wanted to take these five hundred elite soldiers for his own use, but how could this be so easy?Not to mention that there are two prime ministers staring at them, just say that these five hundred elite soldiers are directly under the control of Chen Huang, which shows how difficult this matter is.

Shang Shaoyan rubbed the center of his brows with some headaches, and then forced himself to greet the leading soldiers.

The soldier was handsome and gentle, he didn't look like a soldier, he was more like a scholar, with a personable demeanor, he looked into Shang Shaoyan's eyes and smiled: "The county master doesn't need to be too polite, in the next Chengchu, our team will rely on it all in the future." The county head dispatched."

After a pause, he lowered his voice: "Don't worry, the Duke has already taken the power of our army. He just told you to do it."

Shang Shaoyan: "...?"

She looked at Cheng Chu with complicated eyes, and the dagger in her sleeve was about to be unsheathed: "How did brother tell you?"

Cheng Chu motioned Shang Shaoyan to take a step to speak, Shang Shaoyan nodded, and followed him two or three steps away.

"This subordinate's real name is Yan Nan, and the Duke usually calls me Anan. I was originally a secret guard in the mansion, and the master has already told me about it. I joined this elite army half a month ago, and I will be at the mercy of the county lord from now on. "Cheng Chu bowed, and couldn't be more respectful, and took out the token of the Zhen Guogong Mansion and asked Shang Shaoyan to look it over, "This is the identity certificate of the subordinates, and you can also use it to dispatch this team."

Only then did Shang Shaoyan suddenly realize that the old man had left behind a group of hidden guards, but she found it troublesome and left them all to Shang Yunlan.

Shang Shaoyan took the token of Duke Zhen's Mansion from Cheng Chu's hand, and knowing what to do, he was relieved, nodded slightly at him, and then returned to the carriage.

This carriage was remodeled from an old sedan chair, and it was still a sparrow. Although it was small and well-equipped, it looked nothing special from the outside, but inside it was like a small bedroom, exquisite and luxurious.

Shang Shaoyan and Bai Lu were sitting in the carriage, Bai Lu was still biting her finger in confusion, seeing Shang Shaoyan came back, she felt like crying, "Master..."

Shang Shaoyan gave her a funny look, and joked: "Why, are you afraid that I will silence you?"

Bai Lu shook her head, she thought for a moment, and then said: "When the county lord rescued the slave from Paihuazi, the slave swore to follow the county lord for the rest of his life. The slave has no relatives in the family, left is only a life, and I would sell it Leave it to the county lord. County lord, Bai Lu will always be with you in the future."

Shang Shaoyan took Bai Lu's hand and smiled: "You are always smart, but you don't have to rush to a conclusion. You can think about it on the way we go to Shuzhou."

Bai Lu shook her head, her gaze was firm: "You don't have to worry, the county lord. The servants never like to change their decisions easily... When the father of the servants was still alive, he once praised the talents of the servants as good as a man. If you can help the county lord a little bit, the servants will be happy too. .”

Shang Shaoyan looked at Bai Lu firmly, and said in her heart that it was a lie to be impassive, but she was suspicious by nature, so she didn't dare to believe it all, so she could only suppress her doubts and patted Bai Lu's hand in relief.

……

Because of Shang Shaoyan and Shang Yunlan, the more than 30 people who were exiled have been well taken care of. Although they are not as comfortable as Shang Shaoyan, they are well fed, warmly clothed, and social with others. The exiled officials are completely different.

Before nightfall, the group had already arrived at the boundary of Hangzhou. Shang Shaoyan had already taken care of his Uncle Zhizhou in Hangzhou in advance, so what they stayed in was not an ordinary inn, but a refurbished inn with a lot of charcoal fire. .

Outside the post station, the five hundred elite soldiers and the soldiers responsible for escorting the exiled prisoners sat around the fire and chatted, laughing loudly from time to time.

Chen Shu and Li Xuan were arranged in a room. They held Mrs. Tang in their hands, soaked their feet in hot water, and the fatigue of a day's trek turned into comfort.

Chen Shu said with emotion: "The Lord of Heyang County is really a meticulous and warm-hearted girl. If we hadn't been exiled, I would have asked Wulang to marry her."

Li Xuan didn't answer.

Chen Shu is a straightforward person, often not so careful, but he can see clearly that this Heyang County Lord is not a simple person, and being nice to them is definitely not just for "repaying favor".

If it is for repaying kindness, then the cost is too high.

Although the head of Heyang County went to Shuzhou firstly to seek medical treatment, and secondly to look for iron-eating beasts under His Majesty's order, but in fact she didn't need to go with them at all—especially after His Majesty dispatched five hundred elite soldiers. Even more incredible.

Li Xuan had a headache, looked down at his feet that had already been blistered in the hot water, and his mind was in a mess.

At this moment, someone knocked on their door: "My lords, I am here to deliver medicine by the order of the county magistrate."

Chen Shu quickly dried his feet and opened the door: "What medicine? We are not sick..."
