Although Shen Ruo had expected that Xiao Chen would deal with the king's sheriff, he didn't expect it to be so soon, but he didn't know what method he used to force the king's sheriff to resign voluntarily.

But it didn't seem to have much to do with her. After listening to it for a while, she probably knew that there was such a thing, so she didn't take it to heart.

Those seriously injured soldiers will not recover within two or three months, so after the counting of the number is completed, the criminals captured by Heifengzhai will be locked in the prison car and they will return to Beijing together.

At Shen Ruo's request, they left the county before dawn, and they lost the crowds of the people in the city.

On the dusty official road, a long procession came from south to north, and the one walking in the front was a low-key and simple carriage.

The sky was getting higher and higher, and the sun was scorching the earth like a stove, even in the carriage, it was still sweltering hot.

They had already set off for five days, but they only traveled a hundred miles. Shen Ruo lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the unchanging scenery outside, rested his stomach in one hand, and said a little tiredly: "It's such a slow speed, and it takes years of monkeys and horses and moons to reach the capital? "

"Young lady, don't worry. After all, there are still prison cars and soldiers behind, so it's hard to walk fast." Li Shichang, who was sitting opposite, comforted in a broad voice.

Xiao Chen, who already had a backlog of government affairs and had to catch up with work, raised his head from the memorial: "If you are bored, let's take a rest in the next city. Anyway, the emperor didn't set a time."

Lin'er, who was sitting next to her, held a jade bowl and brought it over as if offering a treasure: "Mother, is it hot? The prince asked someone to bring ice cubes and made mung bean smoothie. Would you like to try it too?"

Shen Ruo was a little funny, she just complained, why both of them treat her like a child?

She looked at Lin'er with a smile, but just as she caught sight of the empty bowls in his hand, she couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Lin'er, how much have you eaten?"

Lin'er chuckled, and scratched her head in embarrassment: "It's so delicious, I couldn't hold back for a while."

Shen Ruo covered her forehead, she just didn't look at it for a while, the child ate up three bowls of smoothies for her, before Qi'er didn't like to eat, she almost forgot Lin'er's foodie nature.

"Okay, don't eat any more. From now on, you're only allowed to eat one serving of anything, do you understand?"

She snatched the jade bowl from Lin'er's hand, put it in the secret compartment, and said solemnly.

Lin'er held back her small mouth, held her arm, and continued to act coquettishly: "Mother, I know I was wrong, can you let me eat two? My stomach is strong, so it won't be a problem."

Shen Ruo was shaken by him so that the serious expression on his face almost didn't tense. Just about to let go, a big hand stretched out, lifted Lin'er's collar like a chicken, and threw it into Li Shichang's arms.

Xiao Chen said solemnly: "You are so old, and you still act like a baby with your mother? As a prince, I don't have a good type. When I return to Beijing, go to the academy for me to study."

"Ah!?" Lin'er was stunned as if he had been hit, and looked at Shen Ruo aggrievedly, begging for mercy.

Added a sentence next to it: "If you want to talk too much, you will live in the academy directly. You will be seven years old this year. It's time to cultivate your independent ability."

"..."

The sun was getting hotter and hotter, and gradually some people in the traveling group became overwhelmed, so Xiao Chen simply gave an order to rest temporarily in a small forest.

It happened that there was a clear stream, and everyone cheered and jumped into the water to escape the heat, Shen Ruo brought a pot of water to the prison cart: "Qiu Ning, drink some water, and you will take the carriage with us, you must listen. "

Qiu Ning, who followed all the way on foot, his mouth was peeling from the sun, after receiving the water bottle, he didn't drink it by himself immediately, but handed it to Duan Ze in the prison car: "Brother Duan, drink it first, I'm not thirsty. "

Duan Ze naturally wouldn't drink it by himself, so he hurriedly pushed back: "You must be exhausted after walking all the way, you go ahead and drink."

Seeing that the two were pushing each other away, Shen Ruo looked down at Lin'er helplessly: "Go, bring another pot over here."

"Okay!" Lin'er happily went to get water.

Duan Ze took the opportunity to stuff the water bottle into Qiu Ning's arms: "Now you can drink it first."

Blushing blushed on Qiu Ning's face, and he took small sips of the water bottle while Duan Ze looked at Shen Ruo: "Is there no news about third brother?"

Shen Ruo shook his head: "The world is so big, if he hides and hides his name, how can he be easily found."

Duan Ze's expression became depressed: "I still can't believe that the third brother even had an affair with the Lin family, and even put the spies in the stockade."

"That's the evidence, it's up to you to believe it or not."

At that time, when the soldiers checked Heifengzhai, they found a large amount of gold and silver in the residence of Sandang's family, and also found letters between him and the Lin family. can be completely destroyed.

After moistening her throat, Qiu Ning held the water bottle in both hands, and asked softly, "Brother Duan will be sentenced to death if he goes to the capital this time?"

Shen Ruo patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Duan Ze has helped us take down the Black Wind Village this time, and he will be fine."

"En." Qiu Ning nodded, but the gloom on her face still couldn't dissipate.

"Mom, the kettle."

Lin'er ran over, handed her the things, then tugged at her sleeves, with a sullen face, hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, she bent over suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Lin'er's face turned blue, and she looked terribly shy: "I want... I want to go to the toilet."

Shen Ruo was stunned for a moment before realizing what going to the toilet was. She laughed and said, "I made you eat so many smoothies just now."

"mother……"

Lin'er called out in a drawn-out tone, feeling ashamed and ashamed.

She held back her smile and pointed in the direction: "here, there is no one over there, go there, do you want me to accompany you?"

Lin'er hurriedly yelled: "No need." He clutched his stomach, swung his short legs and ran into the bushes.

As soon as he squatted down, before he had time to take off his pants, he suddenly glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a corona nailed to death with a hidden weapon on a tree, and it was still bleeding.

His eyes froze, and before he could call for an assassin, there was a "squeak" in the forest, and sharp arrows were shot like rain.

Lin'er turned over, let out an "Hey Yo", hurriedly covered her stomach, picked up a dead branch with the other hand, and knocked out the rain of arrows.

It's just that the stomach churning like a sea is really a burden, and if the movements of his hands are a little slow, a fish that slipped through the net will shoot towards his head.

"Lin'er!"

Seeing the assassin, Shen Ruo ran towards this side, but those short arrows delayed her speed, and she saw that Lin'er was in danger.

At this critical moment, "Lin'er"'s small body unexpectedly dodged the two sharp arrows shot from her head and waist in an unbelievable and strange posture, and when she heard her voice, she rushed towards her like a bird returning to its nest , with an excited and happy look on his face.

"Sister Qiao, are you okay?"

"Qi'er?"

It's just that Shen Ruo is sometimes confused by the seamless transition between the two of them, "Forget it, now is not the time to chat, let's deal with these assassins first."
