It was almost dawn and the roosters began to crow. General Yan's eyes were dark and lifeless, and he yawned continuously. He left General Shen's study with unsteady steps.

If General Yan could be given another chance, he would definitely not have asked that one extra question last night. Not only did he not hear any gossip, he was also forced to stay behind by General Shen to stay up late to draw a defense map.

General Yan also tried to resist:

"Why am I the one drawing? Aren't you back?

And is there any need to be so anxious?

You really are the one who assigns me work every day. Even animals are not used like this!

I'm going home to sleep! No more painting!"

General Shen was in a bad mood and was not polite to General Yan:

"Why are you sleeping? I see you have too much energy and don't know where to use it. You are bored, so come and work on the city defense, and then go to sleep!

Shen He hasn't come back yet, so I have to go out for a while. You and General Qiu should switch positions. General Qiu will guard Xinghe, and Xuanfu will be left to you.

Keep it safe for me. If anything happens in Xuanfu, bring your head to me."

Going out? Something's happening!

General Yan did not learn anything from his question just now. He became more and more courageous and asked with a smile:

"What are you going out for? Getting married?"

General Shen didn't understand General Yan's humor, and he just felt depressed.

I would have my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon illuminates the ditch.

He was ready to confess and was willing to pay any price for his unreasonable desires.

As a result, the eldest princess didn't need any price from him. In her eyes, he didn't exist at all.

Shen Quan just didn't believe it. If the situation was like last night and Pei Zhaoming was present at the scene, would the princess still be so indifferent and not even ask a question?

By this comparison, it was Shen Quan who lost.

If you lose, you have to win it back.

What did he go out for? Of course, he led his troops to fight Zuo Xian King. Even when she was drunk, she was still thinking about chopping Zuo Xian King off. If she didn't chop him off, he would just be a nuisance to her.

And it was time to kill Zuo Xian Wang.

Among the five royal courts of the Northern Tartars, the Little Prince of the Northern Tartars and the Left Wise King are the strongest. They are evenly matched in strength, restrain each other, and are also hostile to each other.

Now that the little prince of the Northern Tartars is dead, the Zuo Xian King's family is the only one in power. Given time, they will surely unify the Northern Tartars and become a major threat to the Great Mu Dynasty.

Therefore, now is the time to annihilate Zuo Xian Wang in one fell swoop, while he is still dreaming of becoming king.

Ten years ago, he was able to lead his army deep into the northern desert and kill the King of the Northern Tartars alone. Now, he can naturally kill the King of Zuo Xian as well.

Shen Quan glanced at General Yan with a gloomy look:

"Since you have so much free time, you can write the war report to the court and the memorial to the emperor asking for military rations and military pay."

It's fine to let General Yan deploy the defenses, but asking him to write a memorial is really a death sentence for him.

General Yan worked hard all night and finally produced a nonsensical memorial. He threw it to General Shen, and while General Shen was reading it, he threw down his pen and ran away.

After General Yan left, Shen Quan was so depressed that he lay on the bed with his clothes on, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

When it was dawn, Shen Quan could no longer sleep, so he went to the outer room, lit a lamp, and took out a copy of The Art of War by Sun Tzu to read.

The love field is like a battlefield, where victory and defeat are common.

It doesn't matter if you suffer a temporary defeat. You can't just give up and never go to the battlefield again after losing a battle.

There is no city that cannot be conquered, only generals who don't work hard. As a military general, winning a battle depends not only on force and bravery, but also on patience and means.

General Shen opened Sun Tzu's Art of War and read it carefully.

……

Compared to General Shen who almost didn't sleep all night, Su Fengyi slept very well last night.

Yesterday at midnight, after everyone had left, she took advantage of the fact that she was still drunk and slept until the beginning of the morning.

After waking up, there was no one in the house. Faced with the unfamiliar environment, Su Fengyi thought for a while before realizing that she was in Shen's house.

It was still early and Wutong was not at home. Su Fengyi didn't know how to do a complicated hairstyle, so she simply put on her clothes, tied her hair with a headband, and left the house.

Su Fengyi didn't expect that there was someone in the yard at this time. It was General Shen who was practicing martial arts.

The courtyard of the Shen family also serves as a place for the two generals of the Shen family to practice martial arts, so its layout is completely different from that of Jian Jingzhai, and it is mainly empty.

The open terrain will not limit the performance of the two generals of the Shen family. It is not like in the Princess's Mansion, which may be elegant, but so elegant that General Shen can't even use his combos.

Without the restriction of terrain, General Shen's combo was smooth and flowing like clouds and water, which was extremely pleasing to the eye.

Since it was pleasing to the eye, Su Fengyi stood quietly under the eaves and watched for a while until General Shen discovered her.

General Shen put away his axe and walked towards Su Fengyi with a smile.

They both said almost at the same time: "It's time for me to go."

The two of them were stunned almost at the same time and asked, "Your Highness, where are you going?"

Once again, the two of them smiled at each other without saying a word.

After a while, Su Fengyi spoke first:

"The country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and it is not appropriate for the emperor to stay abroad.

I will set out today to escort the Emperor back to the palace.

General Shen, let's say goodbye here and see you later."

Although the capital and Xuanfu are only 300 miles apart and can be reached in one day by fast horse, one is the eldest princess of the current dynasty and will not leave the capital easily, and the other is a general guarding the frontier and will not come to the capital easily.

I don’t know when we will meet again.

Thinking of General Shen's words about going out, Su Fengyi asked again:

"I wonder where General Shen is going?"

Shen Quan said directly:

“Shen is going to Beilu to kill Zuo Xian Wang.

Your Highness said yesterday that he wanted to kill Zuo Xian Wang. Shen is willing to kill Zuo Xian Wang for Your Highness. Are you happy?"

Shen Quan looked through all the military books and tried every possible means, but in the end he found that there was not a single one that he was willing to use on her.

Just now when he was practicing martial arts in the yard, he was still thinking about how to set up a situation to win her heart.

But when she came out and turned her eyes to herself, Shen Quan changed his mind.

Since you don't know, I will tell you clearly what I think in my heart and put my true heart in front of you completely. Please have mercy on me and take a look at it, okay?

Sincerity. This is the only method Shen Quan chose to use on the road of love after reading through ancient and modern military books and hesitating for a long time.

Even if he still lost in the end, he had no regrets.

Because any other means are not worthy, cannot, and should not appear between him and her.
