Today is Zhengdan, as usual, the courtiers will return to their homes after the court meeting, and enjoy the family relationship with their families.Even though Zhao Jue hopes to spend time with Shen Xun in his heart, he has no suitable reason to keep him.

During the day of Zhengdan, the courtiers will also walk around with each other, handing out the New Year's card to the mansion of their colleagues.Famous thorns are written on bamboo slips, which include the official position, place of origin, first and last name and auspicious words of the New Year.Shen Xun is the head of all the ministers, with a high position and authority, and has an extremely close relationship with the Empress, so there are countless people who have sent famous assassins to the Shangshu Mansion in the first day of the year.Shen Xun doesn't like socializing, and doesn't want to deal with these red tapes, so every year after the Zhengdan court meeting, he goes straight to his mother's house.This is Shen Xun's habit, and everyone knows it.However, although Shen Xun is not in the Shangshu Mansion, the officials will still go to Shen Xun's Mansion to deliver New Year invitations. The deacon of the Shangshu Mansion will set up a case, accept the famous assassin, and give back a New Year's gift on Shen Xun's behalf. proud of.

Shen Xun stepped outside the hall, and saw that the chariots and horses in the mansion were already waiting in the palace road.Shang Shuling's daily car is also a Xuan car.Shen Xun has always disliked publicity, and he only uses two horses to drive side by side when traveling. One of the horses is the one who bears the child for the Shen family, and four horsemen follow behind the carriage as escorts.Today's guard of honor is the same as usual.

Shen Xun walked to the front of the car, and the horse driver lifted the curtain, and wanted to help Shen Xun get into the car. Shen Xun thought for a while, looked at him, and said in a clear voice, "I don't know the name of the young man yet?" The horse driver heard Yan, cupped his hands and saluted, and replied: "My surname is Guo, and my name is Yu. I have met Lingjun." Shen Xun didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.Guo Yu was stunned, and hurriedly said: "I follow Patriarch Shen, whose surname is Shen, for Shen Yu." Shen Xun smiled and said, "Thank you." Xun nodded slightly.

Shen Xun said to Guo Yu: "I'm going to Shen's house, can you know the way?"

"Don't worry, you will recognize it!"

Shen Xun nodded, and got into the carriage with Guo Yu's support.The carriage slowly drove out of the palace gate, entered the East Market, went to the end of Xuanwu Street, then turned around and drove towards the suburban road.The residences of the emperor's relatives and dignitaries of the Kingdom of Qin are all located in the east city of Emperor Jing, but Shen's residence is built in the outskirts, because Shen Xun's mother, Cui Yuan, the princess of Qi'an County, likes the mountains and rivers, and doesn't like living in the busy city.

Shen Xun felt that the carriage was gradually leaving the market, going further and further away, and the surrounding area became quieter.Shen Xun closed his eyes, slowly clenched his hands under his wide sleeves, and tapped lightly on the couch.Guo Yu also began to be vigilant and always on guard, but on the surface he remained calm.He knew that Shen Xun asked his name just now, to remind him that he was an ordinary horse driver of the Shen family at the moment, and he must not let any clues out.

Xuan car went on for a while, the road was slightly bumpy, and the trees on both sides of the road were overgrown.Suddenly, there was only a sound of "whoosh", Guo Yu groaned, and then his figure shook, he clutched his chest, and fell off the horse.A hidden arrow hit Guo Yu's chest directly.Guo Yu fell to the ground, struggling in pain, and yelled at the four riders behind the chariot: "Protect...protect Mr. Ling!" Then he didn't move or make a sound.

Siqi hurriedly stepped forward to surround the carriage of Xuanche, drew out his sword, and looked into the jungle on both sides, trying to find out where the person who shot the arrow was hiding. , the four guards raised their hands and swung their swords to block the arrows. One of them shouted: "Hiding in the dark and shooting cold arrows, it's the villain's doing!" noodle.All the men in black exchanged hands with the four guards, and swords and swords flickered immediately.

Another person, who seemed to be the leader, did not fight with the guards. He stepped in front of the carriage and raised his hand to lift the curtain.Shen Xun raised his head, only to see the masked man in front of him with eyes like eagles, shining a cold light.Even though Shen Xun was usually calm and self-sufficient, it was inevitable that a trace of fear would pass through his heart at this moment.She was born in a noble family since she was a child, pampered and loved by others. As a courtier, she also lives in the temple and strategizes. Although she is talented and powerful, she is not like Zhao Jue who practiced martial arts since childhood.Such wicked men and thieves fought with swords, how had the petite and frail Shen Xun ever experienced it?

Shen Xun's complexion was slightly pale, his vermilion lips were pursed tightly, and his bare hands were clenched under his wide sleeves, trying to calm down.The masked man sneered, and said: "Shen Lingjun, you really deserve your reputation, and you can still be calm in a dangerous situation." Shen Xun took a deep breath, looked at the masked man, and said coldly: "Why does the visitor need to cover his face? My slave was killed with one move, his archery skills are rare in the army. I don’t know, am I right? Captain Sun?”

The masked man paused, obviously he didn't expect Shen Xun to be able to see his identity at once.He immediately shouted to the crowd fighting beside him: "Let's go!" The men in black listened to the order, suddenly raised their sleeves, and scattered a lot of dust. Before Shen Xun's guards could cover their faces, they inhaled the dust and fell to the ground limply.Sun Yao took off the mask, smiled at Shen Xun, said "Offended!", also raised his sleeves and scattered dust, stunned Shen Xun, then jumped on the horse and galloped away in the Xuan car.

The author has something to say:

Zhao Jue: Huo Qi Huo Qi, let's talk about life.

Huo Qi: Your Majesty?

Zhao Jue: Why do you listen to Shen Xun so much?How dare you hide it from me?

Huo Qi: (Idiotically recalling Shen Xun's figure with hairpin flowers and curly train) Shen Lingjun is good-looking, and he is right in everything he says.

Zhao Jue: ...

Chapter 14

Huo Qi paced back and forth as the imperial guards guarded the government office, unable to hide his anxiety.

As Lang Zhongling, Huo Qi is the leader of the Royal Palace Guards and one of the nine ministers.Under it, there are many Lang officials, divided into Yi Lang, Zhong Lang, Shi Lang, Lang Zhongsi and so on.Shen Xun instructed Huo Qi to carefully select four Zhonglang generals to act as the accompanying guards of Shang Shu's mansion.Shen Xun's former attendants were good at ordinary defense, but they were not as capable of fighting and dealing with ambushes as the imperial guards.Zhong Lang is quick to respond and has excellent martial arts skills, but Shen Xun ordered Huo Qi to repeatedly order the four of them to only protect her from harm, and not to show off their martial arts too much, lest the thieves find out that Shang Shuling's chariot is prepared come.And Guo Yu, the selected horse driver, is the leader of General Yilang, who is very skilled, courageous and resourceful.Huo Qi also followed Shen Xun's entrustment in advance and ordered Guo Yu to treat himself as an ordinary servant of the Shangshu Mansion. In case of a surprise attack, he must adapt to the situation and wait for the opportunity to find clues about the thief.
