Outside the gate of the capital, the Shen family looked at the towering city wall and felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts. They stood there for a quarter of an hour before getting on the carriage to enter the city.
Pei Yu and Shen Jingyuan left a day ago to join the army, and Tianqing took the Shen family into the city first.
He did not get any privileges and had to wait in line for a long time before he was able to enter the city smoothly. As soon as he entered the city, Su Heng asked to leave.
"Uncle Shen, I'm going to take my sister back to the Su Mansion first. Where are you staying? I'll definitely visit you someday."
Shen Changshan looked at Shen Li, and Shen Li looked at Tian Qing, "Where did your master arrange for us to live?"
"Prince Jingnan's Mansion."
"Change place."
Tianqing was in a dilemma because the master didn't give any instructions!
"Does Ayu have a private residence in the capital?"
Before Tianqing could say anything, Mo Qing spoke up, "Miss Chen, I have a house in the capital. It's usually empty. How about you stay at my house?"
"No, Dr. Mo, it's a rare trip for you to the capital. I'm sure there will be many people seeking medical treatment. It's inconvenient for us to stay here."
Mo Qing choked, and when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true.
Tianqing was afraid of what Dr. Mo would say next. If he messed up, his master would make him wash the dung bucket!
“Miss Shen, the master does have a private house, but he rarely lives there on weekdays, so he needs to take care of it.”
"It's okay, just go wherever."
There are so many of them that it is not appropriate for them to live in Prince Jingnan's Mansion before they get married.
Mo Qing nodded, "Okay, I'll take Wen Lan and leave first. I'll come see you another day."
"Take care."
Tianqing also led them towards Pei Yu's private residence. Along the way, they passed through several bustling and lively streets with endless streams of pedestrians and countless peddlers and vendors.
"As expected of the capital, it's bustling."
The family had already lifted the curtain and were looking out through the car window. Shen Mochi was dazzled by the sight.
Chen Li had been here last time, but didn't stay for long and didn't take a good look at the streets of the capital. Today, it was a rare opportunity for her to watch them with her family.
Pei Yu and Shen Jingyuan were waiting for the army to arrive a hundred miles away from the capital. It was almost time.
The army cannot enter the capital and must set up camp in the suburbs. Most people are not allowed to leave their posts without permission and must wait for the emperor's summons.
This majority of people naturally does not include Pei Yu, and Shen Jingyuan is not included either, because Pei Yu will take him away.
Unexpectedly, the assassin arrived the next day before the army arrived.
There were quite a few assassins in this group, about two hundred of them at a rough glance.
"Your Majesty!"
Pei Yu signaled him not to worry, then blew a whistle, and dozens of black-clad guards appeared.
These assassins couldn't possibly know his whereabouts. The only possibility was that they were lying in ambush here in advance, but they didn't know how to be sure that he would get there first.
He also drew his sword and said to Shen Jingyuan beside him, “There are many of them, be careful.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A group of people fought each other. It was not until the moment of the fight that Pei Yu realized that these people were not ordinary killers. They were all well-trained and looked like good soldiers.
Oh, that's quite a big deal!
These assassins naturally understood the principle of capturing the leader first, and they rushed towards Pei Yu without regard for their lives.
Shen Jingyuan and An Yi were always by Pei Yu's side, and the secret guards were just scattered around to kill the enemies.
This group of assassins and secret guards had different moves, so they suffered casualties. However, with Pei Yu around, the casualties of the secret guards were still under control.
Not long after, a group of archers appeared in the distance.
"Find a place to hide!"
They were obviously enemies. An Yi followed Pei Yu and hid behind a large tree. Seeing so many people, he became a little worried. "Master, you take Captain Shen and retreat first. We will cover your rear."
“No need.”
"master!"
An Yi was also a little anxious. The other party was large in number and powerful. Fortunately, they were only in the capital, and these secret guards had just been gathered around him. If they were attacked in other places, he couldn't imagine what the outcome would be.
"Calculating the time, the army will be coming soon. Tell our people not to fight them head-on."
"yes."
The assassins followed into the woods, and the archers were just outside the woods. After entering the woods, the arrows became less effective, which made Pei Yu and the others feel relieved.
Pei Yu and his men held on for about a quarter of an hour. Finally, a group of riders in black armor arrived from afar, and Shen Jingyuan immediately whistled.
"General, it seems our people have been ambushed ahead."
The general immediately pulled the reins and observed the terrain. After seeing this place, he thought to himself, "Oh no!"
"Not good, the one who was attacked might be the prince, and all the soldiers, so I will kill the enemy together."
"yes."
Seeing someone coming, the assassins all rushed into the woods, wanting to fight to the death. However, this advance team had a thousand people, and they were no match for them. At the last chance, they bit themselves with poison. If An Yi had not been quick, the last two would not have been saved.
"Your Majesty, I am late."
"General, please stand up. You arrived just in time. The king is not injured."
An Yi walked over and said, "Master, there are only two survivors. Most of the people we captured are dead."
Pei Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of anxiety. "Alright, torture them severely. We must find out who is so eager to claim my credit."
Shen Jingyuan also came over with a knife. Apart from a bloody mark on his cheek, there were no wounds anywhere else.
"Captain Shen, take your men to clean up the bodies and set up camp on the spot."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
This area is backed by woods, with an open plain in front and a stream not far away. No wonder those people chose to ambush here.
Because this is the best place to set up camp before entering Beijing.
…
Chen Li and his family followed Tian Qing to a house in a bustling area. The house was quiet in a bustling area and had a good location.
“Miss Shen, this is it. This is the master’s private residence. Few people know about it. You can live here with peace of mind.”
In front of me is a courtyard with four entrances. The vermilion gate is awe-inspiring and the stone lions at the door are also majestic. It is obvious that this is not something that an ordinary family can own.
"Okay, thank you."
Tianqing shook his head. Miss Shen was the future mistress, so how could he deserve a thank you from her?
“Miss Shen, Master Shen, Madam Shen, you go find a place to live first, I’ll find someone to clean up.”
As Shen Changshan walked inside, he said to him, "Why bother asking people to clean up? We have enough people here."
Tianqing quickly shook his head, "No, I'll go get someone to clean it up quickly."
After saying that, he ran out of the door like the wind. Chen Li looked at his dazed father and said, "Dad, even if you are not tired after such a long journey, you should think about mother and sister-in-law."
"Yeah, look at my head."
Chen Li could probably guess Tianqing's thoughts. They could clean up by themselves, but they were afraid that Pei Yu would punish Tianqing later, so they decided to just sit and wait.
