At this moment, the world was very quiet, except for the sound of the howling wind.

The moonlight hidden behind the dark clouds also broke free from its constraints and intertwined with the beacon lighting up the sky, enough for everyone present to see clearly.

He was a very young man, wearing black clothes with dark silver python patterns and embroidered with strong cypress. He was as tall and tall as a pine and cypress. He made people feel at ease at the first sight and made them surrender unconsciously.

He was also very well born, with handsome and deep eyebrows, as indifferent as the white snow on the top of a mountain, and an unparalleled appearance.

The long sword in his hand faintly reflected the cold light under the moonlight, and together with the cold silver wristband, his expression became even more stern.

It made everyone shudder.

At this moment, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, half-smiling, but there was no hint of smile in his eyes.

"It's you who wants to capture Jinling?" Shen Chen's voice was low, and he looked at Xiao Xianwen coldly, not hiding his sarcasm, "Can you do it? Are you worthy?"

The moment he finished speaking, Shen Chen suddenly swung his sword, and before anyone could react, he cut off Xiao Xianwen's arm with one strike.

The severe pain suddenly spread, and Xiao Xianwen, who was caught off guard, only had time to scream, before he was kicked away by Shen Chen. His body hit the wall not far away like a kite with its string broken, directly collapsing the wall.

The gravel fell and hit Xiao Xianwen, burying him completely.

No one could see him, they could only hear him scream a few times, then silence.

Shen Chen sheathed his sword, turned around slowly, and looked at the rebels.

This shocked the rebels who followed Xiao Xianwen, and they all retreated uncontrollably, looking horrified.

At this moment, a trembling voice sounded in the dead silence.

"General...general?"

Those rebels were still young. They had been in the army for many years and were low-level soldiers. It was impossible for them to have seen Shen Chen, let alone recognize him.

But Qian Renjie is not.

He had been with General Zhenguo for many years.

Like Han Qingfeng, he knew the general almost from the time he entered the camp. He earned military exploits and was promoted along the way, and finally secured a high position.

He remembered the general's appearance better than anyone else.

Qian Renjie couldn't believe what he saw. He subconsciously wanted to step forward, but was timid. In the end, he fell to the ground with all his strength due to the pain. He only had time to insert the sword in his hand into the ground to support his trembling body.

Then, a pair of ink boots appeared in front of Qian Renjie's eyes.

A familiar cold voice sounded.

"Get up. A true man, kneel to heaven, kneel to the ground, kneel to your parents. Never kneel in front of your enemies, for no reason."

Qian Renjie's heart trembled and tears burst into his eyes.

He looked up and saw Shen Chen looking down at him and reaching out to him.

Qian Renjie could finally believe that the person in front of him was a living person.

The general he once followed is really not dead, and now he appears in front of him!

Shen Chen seemed to frown, "Why are you crying?"

Qian Renjie held Shen Chen's hand, used his strength to stand up, and wiped away the tears on his face.

He looked around and saw that there were not many Qin soldiers left, but it didn't matter.

"General, the sky is hanging behind the curtain, and I can see you again in my lifetime! It's great that you are still alive! Even if there are no Qin soldiers, I will follow you and defend the city of Qin to the death!" Qian Renjie was in high spirits. As if he had endless strength and courage, he waved his sword fiercely and said.

His words finally brought the rebels back to their senses.

Faced with the situation where the life and death of the leading general was unknown, they had the intention of retreating.

But soon someone who could take the lead stood up, holding a gun and shouting: "Don't care who is coming, go ahead, kill them! We must capture Jinling tonight! We still have people outside!"

Qian Renjie immediately stepped forward to block Shen Chen, "If you want to enter the city, you must pass through me first!"

The rebels' eyes became fierce and they charged towards them again.

Before they had rushed far, a distant and thick bell suddenly sounded in the direction of the city gate in the distance, accompanied by loud and high-pitched horns and drums.

Upon hearing this voice, the faces of the rebels all changed drastically.

That's not their signal sound!

Qian Renjie was overjoyed, this meant that someone had come to reinforce them!

But...why is it from the direction of the city gate??

Suddenly, the rebels were in chaos behind them, and panicked shouts and screams sounded at the same time.

The rebels in front looked back and saw a large team rushing towards them, with the two leaders riding horses.

This completely panicked the rebels.

When one of them was approaching the rebels, he suddenly jumped into the air on horseback, flew to the roof on one side of the street, and quickly shuttled over it. Soon he saw the street on the west side of the corner in front of him, and the rebels looked lonely in contrast. Shen Chen and Qian Renjie.

Wang Shou's eyes lit up and he shouted at them in the loudest voice: "Brother Shen, the brothers are here! The remaining tens of thousands of private soldiers hidden in the mountains in the northwest have all been wiped out, and the rebels outside the city have also been killed. That’s all that’s left!”

As his voice spread, all the rebels heard it.

This news made them panic, and they shouted in confusion what to do, and they were already in a state of defeat.

When Qian Renjie saw clearly that it was Wang Shou from a distance, he was overjoyed. He turned to Shen Chen and said, "General, it's Wang Shou! Wang Shou is still alive!"

Shen Chen hummed as usual and said to Qian Renjie: "I have to leave first. After you and them deal with the person here, dig him out and take him to find Magistrate Li and Du Buyou. They will meet at the magistrate's mansion." wait for me."

"yes!"

Qian Renjie was so excited that he felt as if he had returned to the past and was extremely excited.

Shen Chen threw away his sword and left with Qinggong.

From a high place, Shen Chen noticed that the isolation camp was empty, there were obviously no civilians, and the city was extremely chaotic and without order.

Just like that, he still claims to be a big city person.

Shen Chen took note of this and decided to go back and ridicule Yi Hong a few more words to repay him for having to stay for so long.

Finally, Shen Chen arrived outside Yi Mansion.

He looked up at the plaque of the Yi Mansion, his eyes deepening.

There are no servants on duty in the Yi Mansion.

Because after Jinling closed the city, Yi Hong had already transferred all the people in the mansion through the discovered secret passage.

Shen Chen opened the door and went in. He walked through the courtyard based on his memory and finally arrived outside the old lady's courtyard.

When pushing the door open, Shen Chen's hand hesitated and stopped in mid-air without moving. He didn't know the consequences of his trip and whether he could accept it.

After a long silence, Shen Chen finally opened the door.

But he didn't go in.

He was standing at the door and saw two people by the pool in the courtyard. One of them was Yi Hong. He was not surprised by Shen Chen's arrival. He took one look at Shen Chen and took it back, and respectfully held the fish food in his hand. presented to another person.

The man was dressed in casual clothes, which still showed luxury. The silver magatama belt around his waist was inlaid with warm jade and embellished with a dragon-shaped white jade.

There was no surprise on Shen Chen's face, only the hand hanging by his side slowly tightened.
