Chapter 186 Zhang Jing, Straight into the Hou's Mansion

When the military report was sent back to the imperial city, Shen Liang and the others were already on their way back. Huo Yelin said at the time that it would only take one day to arrange it. It really only took one day, because he had no intention of bringing all the 30 troops with him. When he went back, he left a few generals and asked them to lead the soldiers to turn soldiers into farmers and stationed in Ding'an City. Only a few generals and his personal soldiers followed him back to the imperial city.

Along the way, Huo Yelin reported once a day, not only to report the itinerary to the emperor, but also to deepen the fear of those who were afraid of them going back. Compared with when he went, Pei Yuanlie would not allow Shen Liang to ride a horse again anyway. Undoubtedly, it was much slower. It was nearly half a month later at night before they resisted the east gate of the imperial city.

"Huo Shuai returned to Beijing, and he still hasn't opened the door!"

The gate of the city has been closed, and the commander of Huo Yelin's soldiers took out his token. The general guarding the city is too far away to see it. It is inevitable that he hesitated. After a while, he shouted down: "It is said that Huo Shuai will come back tomorrow." Leading troops into the city, why rush into the city at this time?"

Everyone inside and outside the court and field knew that Huo Yelin would arrive today, but the emperor had already issued an imperial decree to let them rest in the western suburbs barracks tonight, and he would personally lead the civil and military affairs as he greeted the Wei family and the prince of Wei in the morning. Hundreds of officials greeted them, at this moment, regardless of whether the people outside the city were Huo Yelin or not, the general guarding the city did not dare to open the door hastily.

"Why does Huo Shuai need to explain to you, a city guard? Open the door!"

They are also soldiers, and the soldiers who come down from the battlefield often look down on the comfortable defenders, not to mention that the other party seems to be disrespectful to Huo Yelin, and the tone of the personal commander is suddenly not kind.

"The emperor's life is difficult, please Huo Shuai to enter the city tomorrow."

The general on the tower seemed to be annoyed, and his tone couldn't help but become tough. Huo Yelin, who was sitting in the carriage, remained calm, but Pei Yuanlie called Tianshu, and in an instant, Huo Yelin's soldiers retreated , Hundreds of iron armored guards took their place, and the leader Tianshu held the token of King Qingping: "Huo Shuai can't open the city gate, so how about our prince's head office? If you don't open the gate, believe it or not, this broken gate will be crushed by you?"

Just like his master, the armored guard was always arrogant and unreasonable. The general defending the city on the tower almost peed in fright. He looked down with the help of a torch and saw that it was the armored guard. He didn't dare to talk nonsense immediately. Order the soldiers to open the city gate.

"See Your Majesty!"

Who in the imperial city doesn't know the armored guards?Not long ago, someone was forced to go out in the middle of the night. When the carriage entered the city, the soldiers all knelt on one knee to welcome them.

"Is Mr. Shen back?"

"Master Shen!"

"Master Shen..."

The refugees gathered at the East City Gate had heard the noise here long ago. Hearing that it was Huo Shuai and General Shen, they immediately thought of Shen Liang. The refugees knelt on both sides of the road to welcome Shen Liang back to Beijing. Shen Liang said That's right, most of the people are simple and honest, whoever treats them well, they will reward them, no matter what your emperor is, Shen Liang's kind deeds saved their lives, they will remember Shen Liang well, and treat him as a god Treat it the same way.

"How is this going?"

Shen Da raised the curtain of the carriage, looked suspiciously at the mass of people kneeling in the dark outside, Shen Liang, who was relatively silent all the way, smiled rarely, and briefly talked about his donation, Shen Da listened The pride on his face, look, look, this is his younger brother, so capable!Does he really give his brother a face?

"My lord, should I go through the main entrance or the side entrance?"

The carriage drove for a while, and it was about to arrive at the Hou's Mansion. Lei Zhen's voice suddenly sounded, and the smile on Shen Liang's face disappeared: "The main entrance, go directly to the main courtyard."

This time, he didn't intend to be polite to Liu Shuhan.

"Yes."

Understanding what he meant, Lei Zhen communicated with Zheng Han and Xiao Yu while commanding the team, and asked them to inform Yuan Shao and Yang Peng who were staying in the Double Advent Court at this time, that they needed to explain some things to the lord in person later.

Huo Yelin and Shen Da led people into the city overnight in disregard of the imperial decree. He was accompanied by Qingping King Pei Yuanlie who was said to have gone hunting a month ago. The news, including the Wei family who has been paying attention to them, learned that they went directly to the Dongling Hou Mansion, and many people's spies also gathered towards the Dong Ling Hou Mansion. Everyone wanted to know what it was like The incident actually caused Huo Yelin and Shen Da to enter the city overnight even if he resisted the decree.

"Bump!"

"who?"

Nether Dark Guards, Iron Armored Guards, Huo Yelin and Shen Da's personal soldiers, more than 2000 soldiers were lined up outside the gate of the Hou Mansion. Not long after the door was knocked, there was an inquiry from the gatekeeper, and the personal soldiers said in a concentrated voice: " General Shen returns to the mansion, open the door!"

"what?"

"Squeak..."

There was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping inside the door, and the closed door was slowly pulled open from the inside. Seeing the battle outside, the gatekeeper was so frightened that his legs trembled, and the dark guard who was familiar with the terrain waved him away and ran away After entering, the soldiers and armored guards followed closely behind. More than 2000 soldiers set up guards all the way, leaving one person every one meter. Shen Da Huo Yelin and Shen Liang Pei Yuanlie, who had already got off the carriage, walked side by side , Go straight to the main courtyard.

"Master Hou, Master Hou...the young master and the others are back."

As the night darkened, Shen Ruiting had already fallen asleep. After Chen Xiang heard the news, he immediately asked his son Shen Ling to report, while he himself followed to the main courtyard full of doubts.

"What did you say?"

With disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, Shen Ruiting opened the door, with shock and ecstasy intertwined on his face, he came back, his eldest son and youngest son came back safely.

"Master Hou, the Eldest Young Master and the Fifth Young Master are back, but they didn't go back to the Chonglin Courtyard, but went directly to the Main Courtyard. Father has already gone to check, Hou Ye, you should go and have a look as soon as possible. I heard that the Eldest Young Master He and Fifth Young Master both look very bad."

Shen Ling grew up in the Hou's mansion. Although she was the son of a servant, she was raised like a young master. She was only twelve or thirteen years old, and she was very eye-catching.

"what?"

Thinking about what Shen Liang said to him before he left, Shen Ruiting no longer cared about being happy, and couldn't care less about tidying himself up, and hurried out of the room.

At this time, under the leadership of Lei Zhen and others, the personal soldiers and armored guards had already arrived at the main courtyard, and the outside of the courtyard was locked. They noticed that the people in the main courtyard quickly woke up Liu Shuhan, and Shen Xiao in the other courtyard was also arrested. Arguing, just like Shen Ruiting, hurried to the main courtyard.

"Break the door!"

"Yes!"

"bump……"

"what……"

The two Shen Da brothers, together with Pei Yuanlie and Huo Yelin, came forward together, and as Shen Da gritted his teeth and spit out two words, the two soldiers stepped forward together, and the closed courtyard door flew out to a long distance, and the servants were frightened There was a scream, the soldiers did not need to be ordered, they were well-trained to enter.

"stop!"

Liu Shuhan, who was called up by the maids, appeared with disheveled hair, and the soldiers who entered stopped reflexively. Liu Shuhan took the two big maids and greeted Shen Da brothers who had entered the main courtyard with anger on their faces. Suddenly, Liu Shuhan felt flustered for no reason, and then recalled that his elder brother said that Shen Da could not see his face. With a gentle and graceful smile, he said: "It turns out that Da'er is back. Why, come to pay aunt's greetings at night?"

"Hmph! Dimma?"

Shen Da snorted coldly, and looked at him mockingly: "A concubine's stepmother is also worthy of claiming to be the general's aunt? Enclose the entire yard for me, and not let a single fly out."

"Yes."

Under his order, not only their own soldiers, but also the Nether Dark Guard and Iron Armored Guard also took action.

"How dare you?! Shen Da, this is my yard. Even if I am a step-mother, I am your aunt. If you dare to force me to do so, tomorrow I will go to the palace to play the imperial concubine, and sue you for disrespecting your aunt and respecting your elders."

Seeing those soldiers rushing into the yard in a well-mannered manner, Liu Shuhan took a step forward and scolded them harshly.

"That depends on you being able to go out tomorrow."

Shen Liang curled her lips, and walked around him with Pei Yuanlie.

"What do you mean?"

After a brief moment of stupefaction, Liu Shuhan blocked their way again. Maybe it was because Wei Zeqian had been imprisoned for too long, or maybe because he was too confident about what happened back then. Liu Shuhan didn't think about that at all, he just thought it was their assassination of Shen Da. Exposed, what fatal evidence was caught by him.

"Tie me up."

Now they just want to go to the secret room and don't want to tangle with him. Shen Da frowned, and the two soldiers stepped forward without thinking. Liu Shuhan backed away in fright: "You dare? I...Help me, Lord Hou..."

In the middle of speaking, Liu Shuhan, who was facing the gate of the courtyard, saw Shen Ruiting striding forward, and immediately pushed them away, crying and ran towards him. The two brothers, Shen Da, turned around, and watched Liu Shuhan rushing towards Shen Ruiting's body from a distance. body.

"Da'er, Liangliang..."

Seeing the eldest son whom he had not seen for five years, Shen Ruiting was stunned for a moment, and forgot to push away Liu Shuhan who rushed forward. At the same time, Shen Xiao also rushed over with his people: "Father? What's going on? Shen Da, what do you think?" What are you doing?"

"Snapped!"

"Father."

As soon as Shen Xiao finished speaking, Shen Ruiting slapped him backhanded, and at the same time pushed Liu Shuhan away, Shen Xiao covered his face and looked at him in disbelief, now it was obvious that Shen Da was leading the troops for nothing, yet he actually hit him?

"Da'er has been away from home for five years, and you can't even call your eldest brother?"

Ignoring Shen Xiao's resentment and grievance, Shen Ruiting cast a stern look, turned around and wanted to walk towards Shen Da and the others, but Liu Shuhan suddenly hugged his arm again: "Master, as soon as Da'er comes back, he will lead troops to rush into me. If this gets out, how will I behave in the future? Master Hou, you have to decide for me, no matter what I say, I am also his aunt, how can he be like this..."

"If you are not his aunt, can you be quiet?"

Without giving him a chance to finish crying, Shen Ruiting turned his head and looked at him coldly. Now he just wants to talk to his sons, and has no time to watch her cry, make trouble and hang herself.

"what?"

Liu Shuhan was completely dumbfounded, what did he mean?Could it be that he wants to divorce him?

"Liu Shuhan, I have tolerated you for a long time, don't force me to write a letter of divorce immediately."

Pushing his hand away mercilessly, Shen Ruiting turned around and walked towards the two Shen Da brothers, standing in front of them, stretched out his hand tremblingly: "Da'er, you are finally back, I..."

Originally, he wanted to reach out and touch the face of the eldest son, telling him how much he worried about him all these years, and how disturbed he was after learning that he was poisoned, but Shen Da turned away when his hand was about to touch him, Shen Ruiting The rest of the words stuck deep in his throat, and his eyes were filled with sadness. Sure enough, the eldest son also blamed him, and both brothers blamed him.

From the beginning to the end, Huo Yelin and Pei Yuanlie didn't open their mouths, because they both knew that this was a matter for the Shen Da brothers. As their lovers, they could accompany and not intervene.
