Chapter 9 The Praetorian Guard

From behind, Xu Yan sneered and said, "I think you'd better get out of the way and let me meet this poetry ghost."

Shen Yunfan thought for a moment and then spoke slowly: "Thirty years of success and fame are dust and dirt, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon. The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when hungry, and to laugh and drink the blood of Huns when thirsty."

After four sentences, he smiled and said: "You are right."

For poetry, the most important thing is artistic conception and momentum. Only by surpassing your opponent in these two points can you win.

But Shigui was completely stunned at this time, because these four sentences were so heroic. With his current level, it was difficult to match them.

Xu Yan thought about it for a moment, with a hint of surprise on his face.

Shigui quickly put down his disdainful expression, stood up decisively, raised his hands and asked, "Brother, have you ever been on the battlefield?"

Only those who have personally been on the battlefield can write such a poem.

Before Shen Yunfan could answer, Xu Yan rolled his eyes and sneered: "This Young Master Shen is a refugee from the Central Plains. Of course he has seen battlefields, and he has probably seen several battlefields."

Chen Yunfan's heart moved when he heard this. It seemed that his true identity had been found out.

However, no one can find out the background of the Shen Jiajun. After all, the Shen Jiajun has been completely destroyed. People in the Southern Wei Dynasty all thought that he was just a refugee who fled from the war.

Xu Yan said, showing an expression of sudden realization, and said decisively: "I think the poem you just heard was probably something you heard when you were in exile, right? If you really have this level, why did you hide from me and compare poems to me before?"

"I told you, poetry dialogue with you is too simple and boring."

Listening to the two people bickering, Shi Gui also hesitated. The boy in front of him was at least twenty years old. How could he write such a mature poem at such a young age?

Maybe it was just hearsay.

However, Shen Yunfan's identity as a refugee also gave him a hint of sympathy in his eyes. After all, he also escaped from the Central Plains.

"Tough talk!" Xu Yan snorted coldly at this time, "Shigui, ask him to answer a question. I will expose him today!"

When Shigui hesitated and was about to speak, five or six strong figures suddenly rushed in from outside, with swords clanking at their waists.

Wearing mysterious black armor, they are the Imperial Guards of the capital!

"Poetry ghost, right? You came from the Central Plains and dared to cheat in our Southern Wei Dynasty. Li was ordered to capture you." The leading general of the Imperial Guard had a solemn look on his face.

The poet's expression changed, and he explained: "It's a literati thing for me to challenge poetry, and they will be convinced even if they lose, so how can they say that they are cheating?"

"Stop talking nonsense and come with us." General Li was a little impatient.

Some time ago, a young master from a general's family lost to Shi Gui. He had a grudge, so he reported Shi Gui for cheating.

He, Li Cheng, was just following orders today.

"The Imperial Guards are doing business, and the rest are waiting to get back." Several sergeants stepped forward.

Xu Yan hurriedly exited the courtyard, but Shen Yunfan did not retreat. Instead, he stepped forward to Shigui and whispered: "You are the great military advisor of Zhao State, known as Ghost Fox Sun Liangce. You were exiled by Zhao Wen four years ago. Right?"

Sun Liangce's expression changed greatly: "How do you know?"

"Don't ask me yet, let's make a deal. I'll save you from the imperial guards, and you'll work for me in the future and help me return to Zhao. How about that?" Shen Yunfan narrowed his eyes.

Sun Liangce was known as the ghost fox because of his extraordinary strategy. He had made outstanding achievements in the war when he was on duty in the State of Zhao.

There are not many prominent families with the surname Sun in Zhao State, so when Shen Yunfan saw Shigui's waist badge, he immediately guessed his identity.

Emperor Zhao had to deal with many of the founding heroes, the Shen family was one of them, and the same was true for the Sun family. Sun Liangce and Shen Yunfan were both fallen from the world.

It's just that the two belong to different armies and have never met before.

How sharp is Sun Liangce's mind? After just a moment of hesitation, he roughly guessed Shen Yunfan's identity, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

Zhao Wen’s enemies are really all over the world!

He then sighed and pointed to the side. Shen Yunfan looked along and saw a six or seven-year-old girl behind the hut looking at him with fear.

"I'm different from you. I have a family and I can't take risks." Sun Liangce sighed.

Shen Yunfan suddenly felt a little disappointed.

"But if you can protect me, I will give you three tips to help you overcome three difficulties." Sun Liangce added.

"Deal!" Shen Yunfan's eyes lit up, "I've been trying to accumulate power recently, sir, please write me your first tip now!"

"This...are you so confident that you can deal with the Imperial Guards?" Sun Liangce frowned, but still took out a pen and paper and started writing.

At this time, Li Cheng shouted impatiently: "Boy, if you don't leave, don't blame us for having no eyesight."

After shouting, he sneezed repeatedly and muttered: "Damn, it's getting more and more serious recently. What is this... rhinitis? It just so happens that Divine Doctor Shen is also released from prison, alas!"

Thinking of this, he became even more angry and cursed: "Get out of here! Don't delay our work! Ah!"

Xu Yan was happy when he heard this.

"This kid still won't leave? The Royal Guards are the emperor's army. Even if that kid is the crown prince, he will not get any good results if he collides with the Imperial Guards!"

The arrogant and domineering Shen Yunfan is about to encounter a tough fight!

At this time, in the carriage not far away, the coachman entered the carriage and announced: "Princess, the Imperial Guards have entered the yard, and there seems to be a dispute inside."

"Guards?" The little princess blinked, "That guy is so arrogant, can something happen?"

After hesitating for a moment, the little princess got out of the car and murmured: "For the sake of his painting, I will be merciful and help him!"

In the small courtyard, the imperial guards gathered around him one after another.

Li Cheng sneered: "Take this kid back and throw him into the dungeon. The dungeon just happened to be empty recently."

It was only then that Shen Yunfan turned around and said with a smile: "General Li, I just came out yesterday, and you miss me so much?"

At this moment, Li Cheng's expression changed from anger to surprise, and then to surprise. This look of turning his face was even more exciting than turning the page in a book.

"Divine Doctor Shen!"

Li Cheng was ecstatic, but halfway through shouting, the little princess came in from outside, and a voice like a silver bell sounded: "Stop it!"

When the imperial guards saw her, they immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Greetings to Princess Ningchen!"

The little princess nodded and asked about Li Cheng's origin.

Li Cheng reported truthfully, and the little princess frowned and said, "Mr. Shigui is my princess's friend. No one is allowed to touch him. Do you understand?"

Sun Liangce was a little moved when he heard this. He didn't expect that he had defeated the little princess of Southern Wei so many times. The little princess actually didn't hold any grudge at all.

He is truly a kind-hearted person.

"Understood." Li Cheng did not hesitate.

The Imperial Guard is directly under the jurisdiction of the royal family. If the princess says it, it is an order.

"Also, this is the eldest son of the Prime Minister's family, so don't be rude." The little princess pointed at Shen Yunfan and opened her mouth to help him.

Li Cheng was startled, then stepped forward to stand in front of Shen Yunfan, and said with a smile: "Awesome, Divine Doctor Shen, how long have you been out and you have become the heir apparent? Don't forget each other even if you are rich and noble, and don't forget us brothers when we get rich!"
