The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists
Chapter 84: Wild Goose
Before leaving Jimingyi, Su Fengyi called Old Man Qian. Old Man Qian was almost sixty years old and it was time for him to enjoy his retirement, so Su Fengyi gave him two choices.
One is to stay in Jimingyi, hold the title of a centurion, receive a centurion's salary, and live out his retirement in peace on the territory of his eldest nephew.
One is to follow her back to the capital, also hold the title of a centurion, receive a centurion's salary, and live out his retirement under her care.
No matter where he goes, he will definitely find a proper county magistrate to kowtow to him and fulfill his dream of bringing honor to his family.
As a result, Old Man Qian was no longer the same as he was yesterday. He had higher ideals and pursuits, and he said to Su Fengyi very seriously:
"Your Highness, I want to follow General Shen to fight against Prince Zuoxian.
The fortune teller said that I would be the top scholar when I am 60 years old. I feel like this is the time."
Old Man Qian's ideal had soared from "the county magistrate kowtowed to him" to "Zuo Xian Wang kowtowed to him". Su Fengyi felt ashamed of not recognizing the great man and praised him:
"Captain Qian has great ambitions, and I am willing to help him realize his ambitions."
Su Fengyi immediately wrote a letter to General Shen, entrusting Old Man Qian to General Shen. The letter stated frankly that Old Man Qian was a talented person with real abilities and great aspirations, and asked General Shen to promote and take care of him.
Apart from this matter, she didn't write anything else in the letter. It would be more like a simple official document than a letter.
So she didn't think that General Shen would write back. However, when the team was halfway back to Beijing, a fast horse arrived, bringing General Shen's reply.
According to the time calculation, General Shen wrote a reply to her almost as soon as he received the letter, and then immediately sent someone to deliver it by express horse, so that it reached Su Fengyi so quickly.
General Shen's request was so urgent that it seemed as if he was sending the letter in an 800-mile hurry. Su Fengyi thought that there had been some setbacks in the expedition against Prince Zuo Xian, and she could not wait to return to Kyoto, so she stopped on the spot and read the letter by the roadside.
General Shen's reply was also concise. He used only three or five sentences to write about his arrangements for Old Man Qian.
The letter said that with Old Man Qian's talents, he was a natural scout, so he was promoted to leader of the scouts, responsible for reconnaissance of the enemy during the Northern Expedition.
Scouts are the most important source of intelligence on the battlefield and are the ears and eyes of the commander-in-chief.
General Shen actually entrusted such an important position to Old Man Qian with confidence, which shows that he has great trust in her recommendation and recognizes Old Man Qian's ability.
After chatting about business for a few sentences, General Shen wrote two large pages of text in a very eloquent manner.
All of it is about homely matters such as putting on more clothes when it's cold, eating when hungry, going to bed early, and living a worry-free life.
The soldier responsible for delivering the letter was General Shen's personal soldier. While Su Fengyi was reading the letter, he was waiting eagerly by the side.
He was waiting to see if the princess would have any words to take back to General Shen after reading the letter, so that he could complete his mission successfully.
Otherwise, why was General Shen so anxious and asked him to make this trip?
It was because the eldest princess passed away so quickly that General Shen couldn't bear to let her go, so he asked him to be the carrier of the message.
Even though the personal soldier is young, he understands too well the reluctance to part and separation between men and women.
As a result, Su Fengyi read the two pages three times, and finally couldn't help asking his guards:
"Did General Shen pack the letter in the wrong place? Or did you send it to the wrong person? Shouldn't the last two pages be for the emperor?"
Ask for instructions in the morning and report in the evening. Write a letter to your superiors whether there is something to do or not, asking if they have eaten well, slept well, are in a good mood, and so on.
General Shen finally got it and learned how to write such a memorial, but he wrote it to her?
What's the point of writing to her? She can't give him a promotion or a title. It would be more appropriate to write to the emperor!
Therefore, Su Fengyi seriously suspected that General Shen's letter was sent by mistake.
The guards were also confused by the princess' words and shook their heads like rattles:
"I heard General Shen's instructions myself, so there is no way I could have sent the wrong message!"
Well, it seems that General Shen is only halfway enlightened. Su Fengyi received the letter:
"Okay, I'll accept it. I wish you a safe journey back home, General."
That's it? No!
The personal soldier was about to cry. He had come here excitedly, but the princess didn't say a word. How could he explain this when he returned?
The guard did not give up and asked pitifully:
"Your Highness, please have mercy on me. Is there anything you want to tell General Shen?
"At least one word, otherwise General Shen will definitely punish me for not doing my job properly."
Although Su Fengyi felt that General Shen would not be so unreasonable, there was no need to embarrass the people serving under him for just a few words.
So Su Fengyi said:
"I hope you will be unstoppable and return triumphantly. I am in the capital, waiting for your good news."
After receiving the message, the personal soldier recited it several times to make sure he had memorized it, and then he rushed to Xuanfu with satisfaction.
The personal soldiers returned overnight without even staying in a hotel on the way. When they arrived in Xuanfu, they passed by their own home without entering it, and first went to the General's Mansion to report back to General Shen.
As a result, Shen Quan was not in the General's Mansion, but in General Sun's Mansion, dealing with the confiscated funds.
Since the emperor had issued an order that all the property of General Sun's mansion be confiscated for military supplies, General Shen did not hesitate and sent all his personal soldiers to search the house.
The surroundings were fine. As the bodyguards were searching, they found a secret door in the basement. They opened the door and randomly opened a box, revealing a golden glow inside.
I opened another box and saw another golden glow.
The soldiers who were confiscating the property were so frightened that they hurriedly sent for General Shen.
General Shen had heard from General Yan before that General Sun was very good at making money, but when he took inventory of the basement, he felt deeply that he had underestimated General Sun's ability to be greedy for money.
The more General Shen counted, the darker his face became. After leaving the basement, the aura of the person who wanted to kill was so strong that no one dared to approach him within five meters.
The personal soldier who delivered the letter finally rushed from the General's Mansion to the Captain-General's Mansion. When he saw General Shen, he was shocked by his murderous aura.
Done!
The soldier who delivered the letter suddenly went blank and could not remember a single word the princess had said.
When Shen Quan saw the personal soldier who had gone to deliver the letter had returned, his expression eased a little, and he asked with anticipation in his tone:
"You're back? Did His Highness reply?"
The soldier who delivered the letter had a depressed look on his face and could not utter a word.
As a messenger goose, it actually lost the message. This is such a failure in its job!
When Shen Quan saw the look on his guards' faces, he knew that the princess had not replied. After all, what he wrote were just some random bits and pieces of daily life.
It was all just what he felt and it wasn't a serious matter, so it was reasonable for the princess not to reply.
Shen Quan could not hide his disappointment:
"I see. You've had a hard time along the way. Go back and rest."
do not!
Let me think about it, let me think about it!
The soldier who delivered the letter racked his brains and pondered over it. Although he could not remember the original words, he was able to summarize the meaning of the princess's words by intuition and blurted out:
"Yes, yes, the princess asked me to tell her that she is waiting for you!"
As spring came and flowers bloomed and the ice and snow melted, the soldier who delivered the letter discovered that General Shen, who had been full of murderous intent, suddenly changed his aura and smiled in a very cheap way.
