Thousands of Mountains

Now Yin Cen dared not leave Chen Ji at night, and guarded him every second, looking for Shen Cang every minute, only in the early morning hours of the day.

Yin Cen still went to the old house in the alley, and found that Shen Cang was actually there.

The old god is actually drinking tea, counting the days, brother Shen is thirty-seven this year, he can be regarded as middle-aged and old in this era, but Yin Cen doesn't know why, still feels that Shen Cang took him half a distance on horseback The appearance of a 19-year-old boy in Daning Kingdom, now Shen Cang has fine wrinkles around his eyes, and his skin is no longer fair. He seems to have been living in the dark, and even his face has become like a night. There is only one pair of eyes, which are still narrow and deep.

Shen Cang looked at Yin Cen, and Yin Cen looked at him in a serious manner, but always felt that he would laugh in the next second.

"Why aren't you in Shizifu today?" Yin Cen spoke first.

"If I'm in Shizifu, how can you find me?" Shen Cang choked back.

"It's more accurate than a god. Could it be that you are waiting for me here every day?" Yin Cen just didn't want to lose his tongue in front of Shen Cang.

"Tsk tsk, every day, every month, every year, every day, every day, every night, are you satisfied?"

Yin Cen, "..."

Disrespect for the old.

"Let's get down to business," Yin Cen started the conversation, "I just want to know, which side are you on?"

"What do you mean by which end?"

"Who do you belong to? Today I just want this sentence." Yin Cen sat across from Shen Cang, pressed down his teacup, and said deeply, "Xin Shangyun, is it Yun Jianqing, or is there someone else? "

"Do you believe me?" Shen Cang asked.

If it was the past, Yin Cen must have nodded without even thinking about it, but now there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes, and he nodded.

This trace of hesitation was fully seen by Shen Cang.

"If you don't believe me, it's useless for me to say it." Shen Cang said.

"I believe you."

After a while, Shen Cang stood up, the courtyard was sunny, the wind was light and the clouds were calm, and he told a story from the long past.

He is indeed the adopted son of Xin Shangyun. Both of his parents died. He was adopted by the Xin family. He practiced martial arts with Xin Chong, the young master of the Xin family. , died of a high fever.

The youngest son died early, and Mrs. Xin's family became ill because of this, and she passed away within half a year. Under successive blows, Xin Shangyun had no intention of continuing, and no longer accepted disciples. Shen Cang is a successor.

When Shen Cang was 16 years old, just in time for the pirates in the southeast, Ningxi Emperor Chen Ze, who had just ascended the throne, appointed Fa Xiaoyun Jianqing, who had grown up with him, as the general of the Funan Camp to fight against the pirates in the southeast. Xin Shangyun, who was the personal bodyguard in front of the imperial court, sent his adopted son Shen Cang, whom he had taught, to Yun Jianqing's side as a bodyguard.

For this reason, Shen Cang stayed by Yun Jianqing's side for three years until Yin Cen was born.

"It's that simple?" Yin Cen always felt that some internal reasons were not clear.

"To put it simply, it's that simple." Shen Cang replied.

"If you don't just say it, how should you say it?" Yin Cen felt that there was something in Shen Cang's words.

"Master Xin's wife who died of illness is called Qiu Yikong."

Hearing this name, Yin Cen froze, daughter of the Qiu family.

"Who is she and the queen?" Yin Cen asked.

"The elder sister of the current queen's mother and compatriots." Shen Cang replied.

Yin Cen felt that his mind was in a mess and he gradually figured it out. People who were unexpected and shouldn't be in the muddy water were actually in the middle of the water.

"Then you, Mr. Xin and the Queen are together..." Before Yin Cen could finish speaking, Shen Cang interrupted him, "No," and said disdainfully, "If I were, would you still be alive to this day?"

Yin Cen choked, why, should I still be grateful to you?

"When Mrs. Qiu was dying, she asked Mrs. Xin to take care of the Qiu family. At that time, Qiu Yiren was not a queen, and the Qiu family was not as powerful as it is now. Mrs. Xin has a deep love for Mrs. Xin, so naturally he promised me and sent me to General Yun. It's not Master Xin's idea, but Qiu Yiren's idea."

"Qiu Yiren was only Concubine Yu back then, and she was still young, but she promised Lord Xin that in the future she would sit on the throne of empress, and her child would be the crown prince. Lord Xin must use all her strength to help her future child, who is also sister Qiu. Yikong's nephew, Mr. Xin can't forget his deceased wife, so he listened to Qiu Yiren's arrangement in everything."

"I went to General Yun's side because I was an insider, and if the general still refuses to cooperate with the Qiu family, let me kill him."

Having said that, Yin Cen's face was full of surprise and uncertainty. In the future, it was obvious that Shen Cang and Yun Jianqing were quite close, but they were obviously estranged from the empress.

Shen Cang continued, "When I followed the general to the southeast, the general quickly rectified military discipline, recruited new soldiers, and retrained the originally weak Funan battalion. In just half a year, he won the first battle against the Japanese pirates. The happiest The local people lived a rare and peaceful life.”

"That's when I decided to follow the general. I forgot all the secrets and assassinations."

"In this way, isn't the queen annoyed?"

"So, in the next three years, I will be assassinated one after another. I still don't want to believe that Master Xin will send people to assassinate me. These people can only be sent by the Qiu family, but," Shen Cang smiled treacherously, "They killed me." Don't kill me."

"He didn't kill me for three years. Then, I disappeared with you in the northwest. No one knew where I was. In those few years, I lived a peaceful and good life. I have to thank you for talking about it." Shen Cang stared at Yin Cen's eyes with a faint smile.

Yin Cen simply didn't know how to answer, and then he thought of something, "Now that you have entered the capital with such a big swagger, doesn't the empress do nothing for you anymore?"

Shen Cang said, "Now that she has been a queen for many years, her status is stable, and the ministers of the court are her goals. She can't take care of a small person like me who is not worth mentioning and refuses to obey. Besides, I couldn't kill him back then, but now I can kill him even more." not dead."

That's right, Yin Cen nodded.

The Queen's ambitions are clearly revealed at this moment, but Yin Cen did not expect that this woman, whom Qi Yanzhi called "crazy", started planning at such a young age, and really deserved the title of "crazy".

From this point of view, the "accidents" that Chen Ji encountered on the shooting range and Guiyun lake swing that day, as well as the assassination in the streets and dark alleys, were all related to the queen. The cover of the wild engagement ceremony and the banquet made Chen Ji unprepared.

Whether there were Zhao Lun and Qi Yanzhi during this period, Yin Cen was still unable to judge at the moment, and he was also vaguely aware of Qi Yanzhi and Zhao Lun's "ambition" that Wu Ye'er heard that night. Yue Yue felt that it would not be as simple as making Chen Yi the prince.

How could two foxes, one old and one young, make wedding dresses for others.

So, what is it?

Yin Cen felt that Wu Ye'er's monitor listened more closely.

Wu Ye'er on the roof of Shizi Mansion in the distance sneezed several times.

Yin Cen thought for a while, then asked tentatively, "Why does the emperor not like the prince, do you know the reason?"

Shen Cang shook his head, "This is what happened when I was in the northwest after I left Beijing, it's too far away from me."

Yin Cen asked again, "It is said that the emperor and the crown prince's birth mother, Empress Chunhui, have a good relationship?"

Shen Cang remembered this time, "That was when I was a teenager. Before the emperor ascended the throne, I married Empress Chunhui. This is the concubine appointed by the late emperor. She has a good family background, is dignified and virtuous, and can be regarded as equal to the emperor. When I left Beijing, Empress Chunhui still gets along with the emperor like this, she is quite famous in the capital, and then I don’t know what happened, as if everything changed overnight, Empress Chunhui suddenly died of a sudden illness, Concubine Yu became a successor, the emperor became more and more Obsessed with alchemy."

Yin Cen calculated the time, at that time Chen Ji was probably only three years old, and Qiu Yiren really became a queen as she predicted to Xin Shangyun.

It's just that Yin Cen doesn't believe in coincidences, but any coincidence must be done carefully.

With mysteries waiting to be revealed, Yin Cen sighed, this world is really interesting.

It's nothing to be afraid of. If you live two lives, you won't survive one life.

Estimating that it was about time for the next court, Yin Cen and Shen Cang bid farewell and returned to the Prince's Mansion.

Shen Cang laughed, "Can't you leave for a moment now?"

Yin Cen raised his head and said bluntly, "That's right, day and night, never leave."

Shen Cang opened his eyes wide, "Yeye...you..."

The corner of Yin Cen's mouth hooked into a smile, "It's better to watch at night."

After saying that, he turned around, walked to the yard and fluttered up to the roof, but heard Shen Cang exhorting from the house, "Ping Shan, General Yun, your father is not a bad person."

Yin Cen froze, turned his head and left Shen Cang with a bright smile under the clear sky tomorrow, and left.

Shen Cang: ...

Call Xiao Tiantian when you need it, and Auntie Niu when you have used it, come when you say it, leave when you want, tsk tsk tsk.

After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Chen Ji came back in a short while, Yin Cen called Shang Wu Ye'er, and locked him in the study with Chen Ji.

Yin Cen briefly talked about the news obtained today, skipping the part between the emperor and Empress Chunhui, and only talked about the relationship between Qiu Yiren and Xin Shangyun.

Wu Ye'er's mouth was rounded, and his eyes were wide open. Yin Cen patted him vigorously before he came back to his senses.

Chen Ji frowned, "Since the little queen treated me well, I thought she might not be reconciled to her child not being a prince, but I never thought that she would want me to die so much. I was also brought up by her alone." .”

Yin Cen couldn't help hugging him again, and patted him gently on the back.

Wu Ye'er couldn't stand it anymore, he was hugged by someone who was tall and burly, if he rubbed over, I wanted it too.

Yin Cen,...

What's the matter, a little wolf dog on one side, can it work?

Yin Cen let go of the man and asked Wu Ye'er, "I told you to keep an eye on Yuanyuan Mountain, what's going on?"

Only then did Wu Ye'er look serious, and said, "He was stabbed in the shoulder by brother Pingshan, and he was seriously injured. He has been resting in Lord Xin Shangyun's residence for the past few days."

"Has anyone seen him?"

"Zhao Lun."

Yin Cen stood up, sure enough!The fox den is assembled.

"Did you hear what they talked about?"

"I didn't dare to go when Mr. Xin was here. I was afraid of being discovered. I only heard that Zhao Lun had complained to him and told him not to act bravely and act alone. Now I am trying to scare the snake. How will it end?" Wu Ye'er said.

"How does Yuan Yuanshan come back?"

"He was still unconvinced, and said that he was not trying to be brave, and that this revenge must be repaid no matter what." Wu Ye'er said again, "followed Zhao Lun and scolded him, saying that people who practice martial arts have lost their minds gone."

"From this point of view, the assassination was not arranged by Zhao Lun and Qi Yanzhi, but there must be another time," Yin Cen said.

Chen Ji and Wu Ye'er nodded, and the three of them looked at each other for a while. Yin Cen made up his mind and said, "Then, Yuan Yuanshan must die."

There was a smile on the corner of Yin Cen's mouth, "It's not rude to come here, and we will give them their heads as well."

Then he said to Chen Ji, "After this matter is over, it's time to discuss with Liang Taifu. I want to enter the court as an official."
