Chapter 450: Matters in the Regent’s Palace will be taken care of on their own
Beixiu Yan looked solemn and stepped into the tent, carrying an intimidating pressure around him. Everyone in the tent was afraid to show his anger.
Shen Ruzhou glanced outside the door, and Jian Yu's figure flashed past.
She looked back at Xiu Yan and saw that his temples and shoulders were stained with a lot of falling snow. She thought that as soon as he heard that Xiao Ruohan was in trouble, he rushed over in a hurry, not even bothering to put on his bamboo hat.
As expected, he is someone who is at the forefront of his heart.
Xiao Chenyan calmed down and bowed his hands in greeting, "Why did the regent come to the north?"
Bei Xiuyan raised his cold eyes slightly and said in an indifferent tone: "We lost someone in the house, we found him along the way."
While he was talking, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Ruohan who was hanging up, and his eyes were full of heartache.He strode forward, waved his sleeves, flew out a short sword, and cut the hemp rope on the pillar.
Xiao Ruohan's body instantly lost balance, and he fell forward, falling into Bei Xiuyan's arms.
Her face was pale and she was panting weakly.The red marks on the white wrists were particularly dazzling.
Bei Xiuyan's gaze shot towards Xiao Chenyan like an arrow.
"Don't King Wu Cheng know that she is mine? He would commit such a vicious attack."
Xiao Chenyan had recovered from the shock just now, brushed his sleeves, and replied calmly: "I know how the regent treats Xiao Ruohan. It's just that this woman is really not a peaceful person, and she actually talks to you. The secret guard eloped. I happened to catch her, so I took it upon myself to punish her on behalf of the regent."
elopement?Secret guard?After hearing Xiao Chenyan's words, Beixiu Yan's eyes were quenched and he looked at Xiao Ruohan inquiringly.
Xiao Ruohan didn't know how to explain it, so he bit his lip tightly, nestled in Bei Xiuyan's arms and started crying.
Bei Xiuyan raised his hand and stroked her back gently, warning Xiao Chenyan in a cold tone.
"I will handle the affairs of the Prince Regent's Palace on my own without bothering anyone else."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Xi on the other side hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, it's all your subordinates' fault. You can kill or chop them up as you please. I just ask Your Majesty not to embarrass Ruohan..."
Before Hong Xi could finish his words, he received a sharp blow from Bei Xiuyan. His body trembled and he lowered his head, daring not to speak anymore.
At this time, there was a sudden noise outside, and two of Xiao Chenyan's guards came in carrying a soldier covered in blood. Shen Ruzhou recognized this man as his brother's attendant with sharp eyes, and a bad premonition came to his heart.
The man forced his blood-stained eyes open, looked at Xiao Chenyan and said weakly: "King Wu Cheng, we encountered an ambush on the way back from transporting food. General Shen fought desperately and fell off the cliff. His life or death is unknown..."
After the soldier finished speaking this sentence with all his strength, his head tilted to his shoulder and he lost his breath.
My brother fell off a cliff.
Shen Ruzhou felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his eyes were empty and confused, as if his soul had been taken away.
Only then did Xiao Chenyan remember that in order to prevent Beiliao from robbing grain, he had sent Shen Chumu to provide support and escort the grain team back to the camp.
Xiao Chenyan took out the map, studied it carefully for a moment, and then ordered: "Jun Wu, summon the scout camp and go out to find people."
Shen Ruzhou heard Xiao Chenyan's words in a trance, his eyes became clear, he pressed his hands on the map to check the location, and murmured to himself, "I'm going to find my brother, he will be fine, he will be fine."
Shen Ruzhou forced himself to stay calm and walked out of the camp. Upon seeing this, Xiao Chenyan hurriedly chased after him and said very thoughtfully: "I'll go with you."
Seeing Shen Ruzhou panicking and trying to stay calm, Beixiu Yan felt a trace of imperceptible distress in his eyes.
At this time, Hong Xi knelt down to his feet and said pleadingly: "Your Majesty, then let's..."
"Send Ruohan down to rest first, and I will take care of you when I come back." Beixiu Yan cut the rope on Hong Xi's body with his knife, handed Xiao Ruohan in his arms to him, and left without looking back after leaving these words. .
Horse hooves galloped, and everyone quickly arrived at the place where Shen Chumu was attacked.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the bodies of many soldiers were strewn on the ground.
It was the first time Shen Ruzhou saw such a tragic and bloody scene, and his delicate and fair face was full of fear.
When Bei Xiuyan saw that the grain truck was still there, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Shen Ruzhou leaned down and looked at the corpses on the ground one by one, but could not find his brother.She moved forward along the line, and inadvertently raised her eyes to see a red sword tassel hanging on the withered grass on the edge of the cliff.
She had knitted it herself and tied it to her brother's sword.
Shen Ruzhou seemed to be in a daze, and walked towards the cliff with empty and confused eyes.When Xiao Chenyan saw this, he immediately went up and grabbed her.
Shen Ruzhou was lying on the edge of the cliff, trying his best to look down, trying to find his brother's figure, but the bottom of the valley was so deep that he could see nothing but white mist.
Her eyes were red, and waves of dizziness struck her. She no longer had the strength to struggle, and her whole body collapsed on the ground.
Shen Ruzhou's sadness was like a sharp knife inserted into Xiao Chenyan's heart. He clenched his fist and smashed it on the ground. He said apologetically: "Ruzhou, it's all my fault. I didn't expect that this trip would happen." It’s so dangerous, otherwise I would never send Shen Chumu here.”
He stretched out his hand to take Shen Ruzhou into his arms, hold her and comfort her, but Shen Ruzhou pushed him away angrily.
She looked forward and said very calmly: "I don't blame you. As the deputy commander of the northern garrison, my brother is responsible for leading the troops to fight."
Shen Ruzhou was weak, standing on the edge of the cliff as if he would fall if the wind blew.But her expression was firm, her eyes were shining, and her words were even more powerful.
The life or death of her biological brother was uncertain. She did not make trouble unreasonably and blame others casually. Instead, she understood the righteousness and responded calmly and calmly.
Such Shen Ruzhou not only made Xiao Chenyan admire him, but also gave him a bit of admiration.
"Please also ask the prince to quickly send someone to go around to the bottom of the cliff to look for him. Maybe my brother still has a chance of survival." She bowed to Xiao Chenyan and said lightly.
Shen Ruzhou turned around silently and inadvertently caught sight of Beixiu Yan from the corner of his eye.
At this time, Bei Xiuyan was squatting down and carefully examining the horse hoof marks on the ground and the wounds of the dead soldiers.
He didn't even look at Shen Ruzhou from the beginning to the end.
Was he so insignificant in his heart?Shen Ruzhou's heart was severely pinched.
Jun Wu came to Xiao Chenyan and reported in a low voice, "I just counted the trucks transporting food. There are quite a few of them, and the food on them is all there."
Since Beiliao has intercepted and killed the people in the convoy and the vanguard camp, why not transport the food away?
Xiao Chenyan was puzzled, and just when he was about to go forward to check it out in person, Bei Xiuyan suddenly shouted loudly: "There is an ambush, everyone, hide quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, arrows all over the sky were shot from the opposite valley, densely covering the sky and the sun.
Fortunately, everyone got Beixiuyan's warning in advance and quickly hid behind the grain truck.
"Boom, boom, boom." After a sound of arrows falling to the ground, the black cavalry of Bei Liao appeared on the valley.
