With Shen Quan joining, two more teammates were added, and Su Fengyi's team to kill the male protagonist was officially established.

However, the male protagonist is far away, and the matter of the little prince of the Northern Tartars has to be settled first.

Su Fengyi began to assign tasks:

“Within ten days, the little prince of the Northern Tartars will arrive in Xinghe. If he learns that General Shen is safe and sound, he might go back home and retreat to the Goddess Lake. It will be very difficult to capture him again.

Since he has come to my door on his own initiative, I will not let him go back. I must make sure that he has no way back.

In this case, I will have to trouble General Shen to take care of you. I will be seriously injured and in critical condition for a while."

Shen Quan smiled and said:

"Your Highness has a good plan. Mr. Shen is seriously injured and dying. The little prince of the Northern Tartars must be in a dilemma. He dares not to invade the capital, but he is reluctant to leave.

If he stays in Xinghe with his large army, we can attack him unexpectedly and capture the poorly guarded Northern Tartar King's Court.

Don't worry, Your Highness. Even if Shen is seriously injured or dying, Your Highness will arrange everything."

Su Fengyi was once again shocked by the tacit understanding between herself and General Shen. She was indeed planning to arrange for General Shen's "death due to illness" after some time, and General Shen had even anticipated this.

After arranging for General Shen, Su Fengyi began to arrange for Shen Hedao:

"General Shen will stay in the capital as bait to buy time. Junior General Shen, I'll leave the matter of conquering the Northern Tartar King's Court to you. As for the secret treasure, I'll send Xie Xuan to help you.

I wonder how many days the young general needs me to keep the little prince of the Northern Tartars, and how many troops are needed to ensure success?"

When talking about the war, Shen He's eyes suddenly became sharp, and for the first time ever, he stopped addressing Su Fengyi as "you" and "I", and instead used a respectful title for her:

"Three thousand light cavalrymen, one month's time, will definitely live up to your highness' trust."

Su Fengyi evaluated the two conditions mentioned by Shen He:

"Three thousand light cavalry will be sent to our door tomorrow. It is not difficult to keep the little prince of the Northern Tartars for a month.

The difficulty now lies in the collection of food and fodder. If we do it in a big way, we are afraid that the news will leak out. But if we do it secretly, it will be difficult to collect enough food and fodder for 3,000 soldiers to last for more than a month. Let me think of a way..."

Su Fengyi was worrying about food and grass, but Shen Quan suddenly laughed and said:

"It takes more than a month to gather food and grass. What kind of a rich war is this? Your Highness, are you sending him to fight or to travel?

When attacking the Northern Tartars, you only need to prepare enough food and grass for five days. The Northern Tartars are full of cattle and sheep, and you can let them take the rest by themselves."

When we go out to fight, but no food or fodder is given to us, we have to rob them ourselves?

If Shen Quan was not Shen He's biological brother, Su Fengyi would have suspected that Shen Quan was taking revenge and cheating others.

As a result, Shen He also took it very seriously and said:

"That's right. When my brother killed the Northern Tartar King, he only brought three days' worth of food and fodder. Bringing too much baggage would have slowed down the march and was just a burden."

The Shen brothers are professionals in fighting. In this case, Su Fengyi immediately made the decision:

"Since we only need five days' worth of food and fodder, there is no need to make a big fuss. I will go out now."

Now that the Shen family has made all the arrangements, it’s time for the next scene to begin.

Su Fengyi looked at Xie Xuan:

"Xie Xuan, go ahead."

Xie Xuan faced Zhang Wu's face and even changed his voice to Zhang Wu's, and answered:

"Yes, Your Highness."

Then he bowed to Shen He and said:

"General Shen, please go ahead. It's time to send out the news that General Shen is seriously injured and dying."

. . . . . .

When the cries of "catch the assassin" were heard from the Princess's Mansion, Wutong released the second group of people who came to assassinate.

The second wave of people called themselves Wang Liu, a pseudonym that was even more ridiculous than Zhang Wu.

Wutong seemed to be completely unaware and led Wang Liu out, complaining as he walked:

"Since you are here to save General Shen, you should have told me in the daytime, otherwise why would you suffer all this?

If it weren't for Zhang Zhuangshi knowing that you were in prison and asking me to rescue you, you would have died in vain."

Wang Liu looked so grateful:

"Thank you for your help, Miss. I will never forget it."

Wang Liu was obviously more suspicious than Zhang Wu. Although he said words of gratitude, his body was hiding behind Wutong the whole time. This way he could guard against sneak attacks from the front, attack Wutong from behind, and even take Wutong hostage at a critical moment. It was a position that could be used for both offense and defense.

Once is new, twice is familiar. Wutong has amazing talent and makes rapid progress.

Compared to just now when he was trembling with fear and nervousness, almost as if he was chased by a ghost, Wutong was much calmer this time.

Her nagging complaints not only did not make Wang Liu angry, but instead made him lower his guard.

As soon as the two men walked out of the private prison, they ran into Zhang Wu, who was holding a bloody knife.

When Wutong saw the knife, he screamed:

"You are actually an assassin! Who did you kill? I respect you as a good man and I saved you out of kindness, but you actually lied to me!"

Without saying anything, Zhang Wu raised his hand and stabbed Wutong with a knife, and quickly said to Wang Liu:

"Shen Hongxian is seriously injured and will not survive. Shen Ke is chasing us. Let's go!"

Wang Liu had something to ask, but the sound of catching the assassin behind him was getting closer and closer. In addition, he heard that Shen He was chasing him, so Wang Liu didn't dare to say anything more. He ran faster than Zhang Wu and ran forward.

The two fled to a remote place, just a few steps away from the outer wall of the Princess's Mansion. Just as they were about to escape, Shen He stabbed Zhang Wu with a sword in the flower path and shouted:

"You dare to hurt my brother, you bastard, die!"

Zhang Wu raised his knife to stop Shen He and threw Wang Liu over the wall:

"Run!"

Wang Liu jumped onto the wall, looked back, and saw that Zhang Wu was unable to hold on and had been stabbed down by Shen He. Not daring to delay any longer, he jumped off the wall and left in a panic.

The man ran away and Shen He wanted to chase him. A feather arrow shot into the top of the wall. Shen He paused and looked towards where the arrow came from. Not far away, at the window of the theater, Shen Quan and Su Fengyi were standing and sitting, looking at him.

Su Fengyi put away the bow and arrow, shook her head at Shen He, and waved, meaning for him to come back and not chase him anymore.

Shen He hurried over and asked anxiously:

"Why not chase him? You are casting a long line just to catch the big fish. If you don't chase him, the fish will get away! Why not take this opportunity to catch him red-handed, except for Liu An?"

After a noisy night, Su Fengyi was also tired and yawned:

"You've been busy all day, aren't you tired? I'm tired.

Liu An is not a big fish, so let him be and let him jump around for a few more days. Without him, who would have passed the news that General Shen was seriously injured and dying to the little prince of the Northern Tartars?

No one passed the news to the little prince of Beilu. What if he heard that General Shen was fine and was so scared that he ran back to his hometown?

Well, we have a distinguished guest coming to visit tomorrow, so everyone should go back early to rest and prepare to welcome the guest.

Wutong, this house is no longer suitable for living in. Please arrange a new place for the two generals to live nearby."

It's so late now. If we clean the courtyard again, I don't know how long it will take. Since the princess said it's nearby, Wutong knows a place to live. That's the courtyard that Your Highness has prepared for Prince Pei. The courtyard and the people are all ready, and we can move in now. I just don't know if Your Highness is willing to leave.

Wutong asked tentatively, "If it's nearby, how about Jian Jingzhai?"

Su Fengyi didn't even think about going from Jian Jingzhai to Pei Yu, and nodded:

"Let's go to Jianjingzhai, by the way..."

Su Fengyi looked Shen He up and down:

"Shen Kezheng, how's your crying skill?"
