Rebirth of Bamboo Horse Treacherous

The mountain where the small temple is located is located outside Pingyang City. Although it is not far away, it will take at least a day for the coachman to run back to Pingyang and wait for Shen San and other hidden guards to come over.

And this period of time is enough for a person with able-bodied hands and feet who wants to find a place to hide in the deep mountains and old forests.

Not finding Pei Ye all night, Shen Guzhi was very anxious in his heart, but what made him even more anxious was the rapidly changing situation in the capital.

Everything is at this juncture, and people dare not relax at all, because at such an important moment, if one wrong step is made, it is very likely that the whole game will be lost.

The pigeons sending the message to Huai Jing have already been released, and they will arrive in the capital in about three days.

Shen Guzhi didn't dare to stay in Pingyang for too long, and originally wanted to arrange Pei Ye to live here for a while, and pick him up after the affairs in the capital were settled.

But he didn't expect that Pei Ye would take advantage of the loophole and escape when he became dizzy for a while.

Now in the capital, the news that Pei Yu and King Pingyang colluded to rebel spreads all over the street, and the old slickers in the officialdom are all scheming to get a share of this case.

Everyone knows that after this incident, the third prince Huaijing's position as the crown prince is firmly secured, and the people who were still vacillating and trying to please both sides before are now in a hurry!Trying to make a contribution in front of Huai Jing, to sell well, to show his determination to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

There was no news about King Pingyang, and the Pei family became the target of public criticism.

Everyone worked hard to investigate the ins and outs of this matter secretly, wishing to dig out all the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Pei family in Jiangnan!

Under such circumstances, Shen Guzhi certainly didn't want Pei Ye to be exposed to these people when he returned to Beijing.What's more, there is a Pingyang King who has not been caught in the dark...

Thinking of the news that Hua Wenyu brought back from Jiangnan on Qingshi Street, Shen Guzhi's heart sank, and he lowered his eyelids to cover the darkness in his eyes.

----If, that thing is dug up...

----I'm afraid, the first person who wanted to kill Pei Ye was Huai Jing whom he was thinking of.

Holding the small teacup planed out of sandalwood, Shen Guzhi turned it around gently, watching the two young leaves in the water sinking and chasing each other for a long time with the fluctuations, before putting down the teacup and straightening his sleeves to stand up.

"Sir?"

Shen Er, who had been standing silently behind him, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Shen Guzhi looked at the bright sunlight outside the window, and after a long while, he said, "Send a letter to Shen Qi, and we will meet in Luoyang."

Shen Er was slightly taken aback when he heard the words.

If they meet in Luoyang, Shen Yi and Shen Qi are almost here. Counting the news to the little prince and the time for subsequent deployment and preparations, they have to leave now at the latest!What about Young Master Pei?

A few days ago, their son specially lit the lights and stayed up all night to deal with a lot of mess in the Pingyang Palace, just to squeeze out time to arrange Young Master Pei's problems. Now he managed to bring him here, but he lost it because of a misunderstanding. What should I do if I lose someone, just leave it alone and leave?

Shen Er was a little bit unwilling to take care of his son from the bottom of his heart.

But he is not Shen Qi, even if he has doubts in his heart, he will not speak out.

In his eyes, his young master has his own ideas on what to do, so they just need to follow his own young master's arrangement as the secret guards, and his young master can naturally think of what he can think of.

Regarding Young Master Pei's matter, Shen Er believed that his young master must have made other arrangements.

In the end, Shen Guzhi certainly did not disappoint Shen Er.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at the carriage that the little monk pieced together from a corner, Shen Er twitched his eyes and looked at Shen Guzhi, "Master, do you really plan to take this carriage?"

The little monk who was brushing the horse's hair was not happy when he heard his words. While brushing the long mane on the horse's neck, he kept choking: "What's wrong with this carriage?! I didn't say that, you can't go anywhere in a hundred miles away." I can’t find a better carriage than this! Even the horses are authentic wild captive horses in Houshan! There is absolutely nothing better than this!”

Shen Er glanced at the horse that was tied up with a rope, and thought to himself, "It's quite wild. The horse that just got back from the back mountain has never been roped before. Can it be wild?" !

"This horse hasn't been domesticated, so I'm afraid it's not perfect." Shen Er turned his head, and wanted to persuade Shen Guzhi to wait until the coachman came back from Pingyang before leaving.

"Don't worry, don't worry! It's safe!" The little monk jumped off the stool holding the horse brush, patted the horse's head to comfort him, "We grew up together! Listen to me, don't worry!"

"Xiaoyuan," the old monk holding the rosary stood beside the carriage, looking at the happy little apprentice, he felt a little worried, "You have never been out of the house, the journey of Benefactor Shen is very important, if you..."

"Oh, Master~ Don't worry! I will definitely not make mistakes!"

In order not to lose the opportunity to travel, the little monk hastily jumped to comfort his master in two steps.

"Look if there is anyone else here. Shen Ershi mainly stays here to look for that little Mr. Pei from yesterday. You can't leave the mountain temple casually. Besides, I'm already so old. How could it be so short from here to Pingyang?" Something went wrong! Isn't it? So you can rest easy!"

After spending a day with Shen Guzhi and the others, the little monk's shyness when he saw strangers disappeared long ago, and his eloquence was frightening.

To him, he didn't care what Shen Guzhi and the others were going to do, but it would be different if he could follow him out to see the outside world!

The old circle carried water in the courtyard on the mountain and chanted scriptures. The young monk was already tired of chanting, and finally he was able to go out. Even if it was just a circle around the foot of the mountain, he didn't want to miss it!

Hearing the young monk comforting the old monk with his eloquent tongue, Shen Er's heart hung even higher.

Because Shen Guzhi was in poor health since he was a child, all seven of their hidden guards never left Shen Guzhi's side from the very beginning. Even if they had missions, they would leave one or two people by his side for protection.

Like today, when Shen Yi and Shen Qi were in the capital, the few of them stayed to find someone and let Shen Guzhi go on the road alone, it never happened.

Shen Er always felt a little worried in his heart.

"My lord, how about I send you back to the capital? Shen San and the others will search for you on the mountain first, and then rush back to find someone with them after I send you there?"

"No need, just follow him secretly when you find him. As for where he wants to go, just let him go."

Shen Guzhi turned his head and glanced at Qingshan behind him, then turned around, "You don't have to worry about the rest, I will go back to Luoyang with Chao He's officers and soldiers in Pingyang, meet Shen Yi and Shen Qi in Luoyang, and then go back together Beijing."

"Then we..."

"You protect Pei Ye."

Without giving Shen Er a chance to speak again, Shen Guzhi lifted his robe and got into the carriage.

Seeing him go in, the little monk quickly put away the horse brush, bid farewell to Master, and excitedly climbed into the carriage and waved his hand at them, "That Master, we're leaving now!"

The old monk sighed helplessly, and shook his hand at him, "Let's go, be careful on the road."

As a result, a simple carriage without a soft carpet and a table for incense tea gradually drove away under the dignified gaze of the old monk and Shen Er.

Shen Guzhi had already left the mountain temple, while Pei Ye was still looking for a way forward in the forest.

Because he was afraid of bumping into the people Shen Guzhi had arranged for him at the foot of the mountain, Pei Ye picked the most difficult places to walk all the way.

At night, there was a gust of gloomy wind in the forest. Pei Ye was afraid that if he bumped into a wild animal that came out to feed, he didn't dare to continue walking. He found a dense bush, smashed a small area, squeezed in and fell asleep. one night.

When he woke up the next day, his whole body was sore...

Facing the bright morning sun, Pei Ye shook his arms, turned his feet, and got up to set off.

He hadn't eaten for a whole day, and his stomach was so hungry that he couldn't help but look at the various trees around him that didn't even bear a single fruit, so he had no choice but to endure the hunger, push aside the branches and leaves blocking the way and continue walking forward.

After walking without thinking for a long time, Pei Ye didn't know where he was, but looking up at the green hills gradually emerging behind him, he felt that at least he was heading down the mountain in the right direction.

As for why he didn't go on after walking for a long time, of course it was because he spent most of his time avoiding the blue stone road that Shen Guzhi took him up the mountain!

Now Pei Ye reckons that he has already walked to the back of this mountain!

As long as you go down, find an inn to take a rest first, then change your clothes and take a carriage, the rest of the journey will be much faster.

With encouragement for himself, Pei Ye tore off a piece of fabric to tie up his hair, tightened the straps around his wrists and ankles, and prepared to continue down the mountain.

Suddenly his ears moved, Pei Ye seemed to hear something!Holding his breath, he pricked up his ears to listen...

It sounded like running water.

Pei Ye's heart moved, and he walked towards the direction of the voice.

People go to high places, and water flows to low places. Nature is generally better at choosing shortcuts than humans, so following the direction of the river will definitely save him a lot of detours.

Enduring the hunger in his belly, Pei Ye tried his best to approach the sound of running water.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Pei Ye was startled when a cliff suddenly appeared in front of him.

Do you want to be so bad? !

Pei Ye looked at the official road on the other side and wanted to cry.

After sitting on the ground and resting for a while, he stood up helplessly and poked his head out to look at the cliff.

It's a little bit reluctant to say that the cliff is actually a relatively steep mountain wall.The mountain wall itself is not high, and it is covered with crooked trees, but the rushing river below makes people look a little scary.

Pei Ye looked at the rushing water below the mountain for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to climb the mountain and cross the water, and go to the official road opposite!

Throughout the outfit, he flexed his muscles and bones eagerly.

Anyway, it's always going to pass!It's better to choose a convenient and quick way, so what if it's a bit dangerous?For him now, saving time to go down the mountain is the most important thing!
