"Commander-in-chief." The guard called Yi Zhengjin and pointed to the foot of the mountain.
"There's a man and a horse waiting at the foot of the mountain. They haven't moved."
Yi Zhengjin, with a dusty face, looked up at the foot of the mountain and frowned.
"Everyone be careful."
How could there be a man and a horse at the foot of the mountain in such a remote place?
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
They searched the mountains for several days but didn't see any trace of the Shen family.
However, on the other side of the mountain, we saw many bodies of villagers from Waibo Village.
No...it can't be called a corpse, it should be wreckage and fragments of tattered clothes.
Those villagers who fled over the mountains basically died in the mouths of wild beasts in the mountains.
In years of famine, ordinary people had a hard time and wild animals also lacked food.
The refugees crossing the mountain were like food delivered to the mouths of wild beasts.
How could those beasts let go of the food that was right in their mouths?
When he thought of those fragmented remains, he would imagine the scene of people being torn apart by wild beasts.
Miserable~
Yi Zhengjin sighed heavily and frowned as he looked at the person sitting at the foot of the mountain.
The road down the mountain was cleared so clean by the people that anyone could see anyone at the foot of the mountain at a glance.
This will save them from being ambushed.
Yi Zhengjin stared at the figure at the foot of the mountain and walked towards it step by step.
It took them an hour to walk from halfway up the mountain to the foot of it.
Although the mountain road is bare and you can see the foot of the mountain at a glance, it is very rugged and steep, and you may easily roll down the mountain if you are not careful.
It would be embarrassing if you spent all your time trying to find the person but ended up getting injured.
"Commander Yi~~"
Shen Yong stood at the foot of the mountain with his hands behind his back, looking at Yi Zhengjin not far away, and shouted in a deep voice.
Yi Zhengjin paused, holding the sword in front of him, frowning as he looked at the young man in gorgeous clothes and wearing a mask.
"Who are you!?"
Judging from the man's voice and body shape, he couldn't remember who he was.
However, the fact that this person could accurately focus his eyes on him meant that he was most likely an acquaintance.
Chen Yong looked at the vigilant Yi Zhengjin, curled his lips and smiled, glanced at the dozens of guards around him, and said in a low voice,
"Excuse me for a moment, Commander Yi must have the courage to do so."
Yi Zhengjin's mouth twitched, and he looked the man up and down.
"If I don't have the courage, what do you want to do?"
Provoke him...haha, he won't be fooled.
Who knows what this person who suddenly appeared wants to do.
"Haha!" Chen Yong raised his eyebrows and smiled, "How could it be that the dignified commander of the Imperial Guards would be afraid of a nobody like me?"
Yi Zhengjin's face darkened. "Just say what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush."
Shen Yong sneered.
"I have some news you'd like to know. The married woman you like is..."
Shen Yong winked at Yi Zhengjin, "I know where she is."
The guards following Yi Zhengjin widened their eyes in shock and looked at Yi Zhengjin in surprise.
Good job.
They heard a huge news.
No wonder the commander-in-chief has not gotten married for so many years. It seems that he has fallen in love with a married woman.
Which young wife can make the commander so obsessed with her?
Yi Zhengjin's ears turned red from being stared at by the guards.
He gritted his teeth and glared at the man in front of him.
"Stop talking nonsense."
"You ruined the girl's reputation with just one word. It's better not to do such a shameless thing."
The moment Yi Zhengjin said this, he remembered that Chen Yong always liked to use this matter to threaten him.
However, he knew that although Shen Yong was a playboy, he would definitely not tell anyone about such things.
The reason why he followed Chen Yong in everything was just that he wanted to hear more news about his beloved from him.
But the person in front of me may not be so moral.
Yi Zhengjin looked at the other person's half-smile eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he took a step forward.
"If you have anything to say, I'll just go over there with you and talk."
"Don't involve innocent people because of what happened between you and me."
"Of course." Shen Yong smiled faintly, turned around and walked in the direction Yi Zhengjin pointed.
Yi Zhengjin pursed his lips, turned back to look at the gossiping guards with a dark face,
"You wait here, no one is allowed to move around."
"......Yes!" The guards' mouths twitched a few times.
It seems that the man really knows the commander's little secret.
Otherwise, why is the commander so nervous and doesn't let them go, for fear that they will hear some terrible news?
The guards stretched their necks to watch the two people walking away, feeling extremely curious.
Everyone's ears stood up straight, as if they wanted to pluck their ears off and throw them over to eavesdrop.
Which young bride could win the favor of the young, promising and handsome commander?
Yi Zhengjin walked up to the man, looked back at the guards at the foot of the mountain, frowned, and walked forward a dozen steps before stopping.
Shen Yong smiled and followed.
"Commander Yi is really vigilant."
"I'm sure Sixth Sister-in-law would be very touched if she knew about this."
The fact that he was willing to risk his life to protect Sixth Sister-in-law's reputation shows how much this guy favors Sixth Sister-in-law.
It’s a pity that Sixth Sister-in-law has no interest in Yi Zhengjin.
Chen Yong felt uncomfortable when he thought about marrying his sixth sister-in-law to Yi Zhengjin.
It was like... like I gave my own daughter to a yellow-haired guy. I was so angry that I wanted to hit someone.
Yi Zhengjin paused, looking at the man in front of him in shock.
"You...you are...Chen Yong!?"
When the word "shenyong" was mentioned, Yi Zhengjin made almost no sound.
He looked at the group of guards at the foot of the mountain in panic, and hurriedly pulled Chen Yong's arm and walked forward more than 20 meters.
Yi Zhengjin stared at Chen Yong's eyes and said in a low voice,
"Are you really Shen Yong?"
Chen Yong smiled faintly, "Of course, it's genuine."
"Are you...crazy?" Yi Zhengjin stared at Chen Yong in disbelief, gritting his teeth and squeezing out a few words.
"Don't you know that everyone in the capital is trying to catch you?"
"The Emperor sent so many people out and couldn't find you, so you should just hide. Why are you coming out?"
Yi Zhengjin glared at Chen Yong angrily and anxiously, wishing he could slap him.
Chen Yong curled his lips and smiled, "Why, Commander Yi isn't going to capture me and take credit for it?"
"Capturing the Shen family is a great achievement. A meteoric rise to prominence is just around the corner."
Yi Zhengjin glared at Chen Yong.
"Don't talk to me about this nonsense. Are you out of money?"
As he said this, Yi Zhengjin took out a small bag of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into Shen Yong's pocket.
"Something happened in the capital, and I don't have much money on me. Take this first and take your sisters-in-law to the south. It's enough for you to hold out for a while."
