If reinforcements do not enter Jinzhou, it means that the remaining two thousand Xie Jiajun and the people in the city will either be slaughtered or save themselves.

Shen Wan had never had any hope for the dynasty, nor had he ever expected Mo Junli to send troops to Jinzhou for the sake of justice.

She deduced all the strategies thought by the traitorous officials of the royal family. If the people of Jinzhou want to survive, they must find another way out.

Shen Wan, Xie Yujin, Gu Lanchen, Gu Mingzhu, and Tian Deng gathered in the camp to plan an escape plan.

At this time, Shifeng's voice came from outside the camp: "What are you doing? This is not where you came from."

Shen Wan, Xie Yujin, Gu Lanchen and others all raised their heads and looked outside the curtain.

Everyone heard Shen Zhengyi say outside: "I came to see Young Master Xie and Master Jialuo to discuss strategies to rescue Jinzhou."

"You!" Shi Feng's words were full of malice. Just as he was about to ask someone to drag Shen Zhengyi away, Master Jialuo said, "Let Lord Shen come in and talk."

Shi Feng snorted coldly and let Shen Zheng enter the curtain.

When Shen Zheng walked into the camp, everyone's eyes fell on his torn robe.

At this moment, Shen Zhengyi could be described as looking shabby and in rags. He still had a wound on his forehead, but the blood had solidified. His right hand was also wrapped in gauze. When he walked in from outside the camp, his legs were limping.

Shen Wan glanced at Shen Zhengyi calmly, thinking of the scene of him fighting with Xie Jiajun in Xiangcheng, she felt very complicated in her heart.

In her eyes, Shen Zhengyi was a great villain. She thought that this time he would continue to follow the King of Jin and issue an order to massacre the city for the sake of profit, but he did not do so.

Who does he want to follow?

There is no king here that he wants to assist. No matter who takes the throne afterwards, the Shen family will not be able to return to Shangjing City, and Master Jialuo and the Xie family will not be able to help the Shen family enter the Qingyun Palace again.

"You said you wanted to discuss countermeasures to save Jinzhou, go ahead." Shen Wan said.

Master Jialuo made a gesture and asked the sky lantern to move a chair for Shen Zhengyi. Shen Zhengyi bowed slightly and did not sit down: "I want to tell you that based on my understanding of the prince, the prince will not send reinforcements. Jinzhou, he will send reinforcements to wait for the Chen soldiers in Quan County. We don’t have to hold on here. The Chen soldiers are well prepared for this war. They have enough troops and food. We only have a group of remnants and weak generals. There is not much food left, and the prefectures and counties outside Jinzhou are unwilling to send military rations in. Instead of doing this, it is better to send the people away and let them leave the city."

"What to do about the epidemic at that time? Once the people of Jinzhou leave Jinzhou, they will bring the epidemic with them." Gu Lanchen said.

"We are taking the people out of Jinzhou and will not enter other states or counties. I know there is a place that can take in the people of Jinzhou." Very few people in this place know that in order to cross over, they need to pass through a swamp. It was Shen Chengyi who accidentally discovered it when he was doing business. found in between.

As soon as Shen Zheng walked to the sand, he picked up a small flag and dug it into a hill nest.

Master Jialuo saw where the flag fell and said: "There is a swamp on this mountain. Anyone who enters by mistake will have their bodies buried in the swamp and it will be difficult to survive."

"My son Saburo has transported items across here, and behind the swamp is an ancient city with no vegetation and no human habitation. It can accommodate nearly ten thousand people. This is the most suitable place for transfer."

As soon as Shen Zheng finished speaking, everyone looked up at the people around them.

Master Jialuo made a prompt decision and told Sky Deng: "Sky Deng, go explore the way."

"Yes."

Tian Deng picked up the red tassel gun, led Ah Hei and a group of dogs to explore the road.

Master Jialuo said to Shen Wan: "Mrs. Xie, let the people on the Lotus Terrace prepare early and ask them to bring only food and nothing else."

Shen Wan said: "I will make arrangements for the people."

Master Jialuo looked back at Xie Yujin.

Xie Yujin's eyelids were dark purple, and his eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes. His face was haggard and tired, but when Jia Luo called him, his eyes were shining sharply.

"Master, I will take the remaining two thousand Xie Jiajun to delay time."

His words brushed against Shen Wan's ears, and Shen Wan subconsciously looked at Xie Yujin with a heavy heart.

At this time, Shen Zhengyi said: "Give me the two thousand Xie Jiajun."

"What are you talking about in your sleep?" Shi Feng grabbed his clothes and cursed.

Shen Zheng looked in the direction of Duke Zhen: "I am serious. With the five hundred tiger wing guards in my hand, let me stay and I will guard the city, but I have a condition."

Duke Zhen Guo also looked tired. He didn't know what Shen Zhengyi wanted to do. He just wanted Shen Zhengyi not to make any more conspiracies, because it was very difficult for everyone to fight for this battle: "I will not abandon Xie Jiajun. He left the city on his own."

He turned back to Xie Yujin and said, "Son, you take your wife and the people out of the city. I will stay in Jinzhou to guard the city."

At this point, Duke Zhen Guo turned back and asked Shen Zhengyi: "You just said that you were willing to send those five hundred tiger wing guards to the battlefield."

These five hundred Tiger Wing Guards guard the west gate of Jinzhou to prevent the rebels from leading troops to escape from Jinzhou. They have not yet been on the battlefield. If Shen Zheng uses them, they can delay the people's departure from the city.

"Yes." Shen Zhengyi said.

"Then what are your conditions?"

Shen Zhengyi said: "Take my wife and children away from Jinzhou as well. I only want them alive."

"Okay." Duke Zhenguo said without hesitation: "I promise you, Aci..."

"Dad, I'll stay."

"Why stay? You have walked through a lot of swamps and have some experience. You have led the people safely to the deserted city. This is your battlefield. You think it is so easy to swim through the swamps. I don't trust your wife alone. Look back. Wan'er, she has lost face these days." Zhen Guogong sat on the chair and said in a hoarse voice.

Xie Yujin really looked back at Shen Wan, Shen Wan just raised his head, the two looked at each other, their usually round cheeks were slightly sunken, the curvature of their chin was sharp, the eyelids were red, the face was pale, and the lips were chapped.

His heart felt like it was being severely pulled by a string. When he saw her looking at him silently, he clenched his hands slightly.

Fight the urge to pull her into your arms.

Although the two were in the same city, since the war, one was in the east and the other was in the west, running around on their respective battlefields. Shifeng and Xiao Yun sent letters back and forth between the two places to inform each other of each other's situation.

He didn't even take a good look at her, and she lost weight unknowingly, suffering from the weather.

Xie Yujin reached out and touched her face.

After about an hour, the sky lanterns came back, along with a group of dirty dogs.

Sky Lantern said: "There is a road in the swamp. I have marked it. As long as I put a wooden plank on it, the people can walk across it."

The news brought by the sky lantern is undoubtedly good news.

Shen Zheng flicked the dust off his body and said, "Then take action."

He walked out of the tent first, but the guards of the Shen family hurried over: "Master, the eldest son... is dead."

Shen Zheng swayed, staggered a few steps, his ears were buzzing, and he couldn't accept the news of his eldest son's death.

The guard's voice echoed in my ears: "Before the eldest son passed away, he left a letter to the eldest lady."

Shen Zhengyi looked at the letter handed by the guard in despair, and then looked back at the camp. Shen Wan happened to walk out of the camp. Shen Zhengyi took a deep look at her and handed the letter to Shen Wan: "Wan'er , your elder brother wrote to you."

Shen Wan said expressionlessly: "When a person is about to die, his words are also good. Since he is dead, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not."

She turned around and left. When Shen Zheng saw how heartless she was, he knelt down behind her and cried in a broken voice: "Just take a look. Just treat it like I'm begging you. Just take a look. He keeps saying he wants to atone for his sins. He knows that you are a very good person in Jinzhou." It’s difficult, Wan’er, no matter what he did to you before, he has already regretted it, he has regretted it.”

But she could not forget the scene where the entire Shen family massacred the Xie family.

She could not forget that Shen Chengxiao assassinated her and looked at her dead eyes indifferently.

It is said that debts are wiped out after death. If Shen Chengxiao was given a new life and restored to a healthy body, would he regret it?
