320 Life on the Line 3
An hour later, Shen Lian was already standing outside the carriage and warned the old butler again and again. "Butler, be careful in everything you do in the future. If anything happens, please inform me immediately. If the matter is serious, please find a way to inform His Highness the Second Highness first." Finally. In one sentence, she lowered her voice, almost whispering in the old housekeeper's ear.
The old butler nodded solemnly. This old butler had almost watched Shan grow up. He was an old man of the Shan family. He had no wife, no children, no daughters, and devoted his whole life to the Shan family. Therefore, Shen Lian felt that , he is credible.
She got into the carriage with her child in her arms, and then the carriage driver waved his whip and drove forward. In fact, not long after leaving Shan Mansion, before reaching the city gate, Shen Lian stopped the carriage. She walked out and looked at The carriage driver sitting outside said: "You continue to drive the carriage out, all the way to my hometown. Along the way, don't stop easily, and don't open the curtain to look. In short, let people think , I’m still in the carriage.”
The coachman responded well and immediately understood what she meant and nodded. "Madam, don't worry, I understand. I will occasionally stop to rest for a while. And during this period, I will say a few words to my wife through the curtain. Never." It will be known that Madam has left the carriage."
"Okay, if this matter goes smoothly, I will reward you well when you come back, madam."
The carriage driver nodded, "Thank you, madam." The place they were standing at was exactly at a corner, and others could not see clearly. Shen Lian quietly left to the other side, while the carriage driver returned to his original position. He got up, waved his whip and continued to drive the carriage towards the city gate. Shen Lian looked back at the direction the carriage was leaving and thought to himself.
This coachman was not old, but he was quite clever. Thinking about it, he should be able to hide it from those people for a while. As for her, she naturally hugged her son and went in the other direction.
After Shen Lian arranged everything, she hurried out of the city gate early the next morning. And before leaving, she also spent money to buy a good horse to travel with. At this moment, she changed from the lady's dress yesterday. , disguised herself as an ordinary farm girl. She even sprinkled ash on her face. At this moment, she looked gray and simple, not eye-catching at all.
Wearing a commoner dress and a thorn skirt, with only a hairpin made of wood on her head, she was no different from an ordinary civilian woman. She carried a small baggage on her back and slowly walked out of the city gate. Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with her. draw any attention.
When she got out of the city successfully, she immediately got on her horse and galloped towards the border town. Along the way, she traveled day and night, non-stop. In the end, the insides of her legs were so painful from the saddle that she endured the bite. .Although the original owner Luo Hongmei also worked as a female general, it was a long time ago after all. She has been taking care of her children at home for more than a year.
Now she suddenly got on the horse and drove day and night, and her body was a little overwhelmed. Sure enough, she had to do this exercise every day, otherwise it would be easy to slack off. However, Shen Lian has always been supported by a firm will, so she must be fast.
When she was only two hours away from the border town where Shan Cheng was, she was suddenly stopped on the official road. Shen Lian looked at the young man who appeared in front of her with caution. He was holding a sword in his hand, and he looked like a practitioner. Jiazi didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, so Shen Lian could only keep a distance from him and at the same time keep an eye on him and observe the surrounding terrain in order to escape.
Seeing her looking at him defensively, the visitor quickly identified himself. He took out a token from his arms, which belonged to the Second Prince's Mansion. Only then did Shen Lian let him get closer to her, "Mrs. Shan, in fact, the little I have followed you all the way. Although you are careful and have changed your appearance to hide your identity, there is still a flaw."
Shen Lian looked at him curiously and motioned for him to continue.
"You dress up so simply because you don't want to attract attention. But you are leading a fine horse out of the city." After saying this, Shen Lian understood. Yes, she was negligent. She chose a good horse for traveling. But how could such a simple commoner woman like her now afford such a good horse?
Shen Lian imitated the behavior of a man in the world, and clasped her fists in gratitude to him. "Thank you, brother, for reminding me."
The visitor looked around and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Shan, His Highness the Second Highness has told me that I will secretly follow my wife to the border town. After my wife meets General Shan at the border town, if she encounters any difficulties, she can just contact me secretly." The young man has a way to contact His Highness as quickly as possible. His Highness said that General Shan is a talent he relies on, so he will do his best."
Sure enough, the second prince is quite a good person. Shen Lian thought so in his heart, but his face showed a calm look, "Thank you so much, brother, but how can I contact you?"
The visitor's hand quietly reached into his sleeve. After a while, he took out something and put it on Shen Lian's hand. Without saying anything, Shen Lian gave him a clear look and put it away. After getting her things, she turned around, mounted her horse and left. Finally, Shen Lian arrived at the border town. When she stood at the gate of the city, she encountered a problem.
That is, she can't enter the city. Now this border town has closed its gates because of the enemy's invasion. The timing of Shen Lian's arrival is obviously unlucky, it is the moment when the two sides are fighting. It seems that she is temporarily Unable to enter the city. Shen Lian hid aside and analyzed quietly, and suddenly thought of a question. That is, this battle will not be Shan Cheng fighting the enemy.
Was it the first battle and the victory, or Shan Cheng had been plotted by the prince's party and could not return to the city. Shen Lian was holding a sword in her hand, which she bought on the road. When she was in the capital before, In order to hide her from others, she did not carry a sword with her. The sword in her hand now is considered good, but it is not a precious sword.
Shen Lian quietly approached the city gate, wanting to see clearly the fighting situation between the two sides. She originally wanted to sneak to the city gate quietly without alerting the two warring parties. But obviously, she overestimated Her own abilities. She hadn't even taken two steps towards that direction when someone saw her. Shen Lian didn't know for a moment whether it was his own soldier or the enemy's.
However, she thought that no matter which side she belonged to, they probably didn't recognize her. Therefore, Shen Lian immediately drew her sword to face the enemy. She also took time to practice martial arts on the way here. The original master's martial arts and the martial arts she had learned before , but the time was too short, and the time to practice was even shorter. So now that she suddenly came to the battlefield, she was a little confused at first.
But after a while, she began to feel more comfortable. At least when facing these low-level soldiers, Shen Lian was a little soft-hearted at the beginning. Although she had killed people before, she had never been on the battlefield. On the battlefield In the past, killing someone was as easy as chopping a melon. However, after a cup of tea, she could kill the person who wanted to kill her at her feet without changing her expression.
The reason why she changed so quickly was because the soldiers wanted to kill her as soon as they saw her. She was wearing ordinary clothes, which did not belong to this side or the enemy. Therefore, they did not care whether she was Someone, just kill her directly.
In order to save her own life, Shen Lian had no choice but to kill them before she found Shan Cheng. As time passed and more people were killed, her heart gradually became numb. However, she At the same time, he also guessed that Shan Cheng must not have been deceived this time and was unable to return to the city. Because that time, he only had one person to fight, and there were not so many people at all.
Shen Lian wanted to find Shan Cheng, but the battlefield was a mess of swords and swords. She couldn't find anyone at all, not even his shadow. So, she could only deal with the battle situation in front of her.
However, the woman's physical strength was limited after all. In addition, she had slept all night without getting a good rest. Now, after only half an hour, she was sweating on her forehead. She could no longer hold on, and she also wanted to However, there was no room for her to leave here now. There were people everywhere, and swords were waving at her everywhere. She had nowhere to retreat except to fight.
Shen Lian wailed in her heart, was she going to die before the mission even started? She hadn't found the capture target yet, so she was going to die first. No, she had to hold on.
Suddenly, a knife swept across and hit her waist and abdomen. If the knife was to hit her, her body would have to be cut in two. So, Shen Lian quickly jumped to the side to avoid the knife. Her body After rolling around on the ground, she managed to steady herself. Before she could take a breath, another sword hit her head. She quickly lay down and kicked her upwards.
She kicked the sword away with one kick, and without a breath, Shen Lian kicked the soldier aside again. She took this opportunity to stand up and faced him again with the sword. She was so unlucky. Everyone, no matter which side she was on, regarded her as an enemy. Although her martial arts skills were good, her physical strength was almost exhausted, and she began to falter.
Shen Lian clearly felt that her movements had slowed down. With this slowness, she received several scratches on her arms and back. But she had no time to cry out the pain and gasp, so she could only strike with one sword after another. Swing it away. She understood that this time, it was not the end of the competition. Instead, it was on the battlefield of swords and blood. As soon as she stopped wielding the sword, she would be killed immediately.
So, she could only grit her teeth and persevere. Her hair was messed up, her clothes were stained with blood, and she became particularly embarrassed. It was at this time that she found Shan Cheng. To be precise, Shan Cheng found her.
Just when Shen Lian saw a sword coming and she stepped back, a spear suddenly came and blocked the sword for her. Shen Lian was able to escape. When she raised her head to look at the person, the person was riding on a horse. Immediately, he had a cold and handsome face, a long gun in his hand, and danced like an airtight man. Basically, few soldiers could get close to him.
Wearing silver armor and a black cloak, he looked extraordinary. When the two looked at each other, one was excited for surprise, and the other was a little cold. However, he didn't say anything, he just protected her while waving his spear. Next to him, Shen Lian knew as soon as he saw General Ma Ma's face that he was the target of the attack.
She was the husband of the original owner Luo Hongmei. It seemed that this battle should be the first battle he won. When she was brought back to the city by Shan Cheng, Shen Lian saw the prince standing in the city being protected.
