Captain Yu was filled with resentment. He raised his spear and pointed it at a young general, his eyes wide open.

"Yu, don't think I'm afraid of you just because your family has connections with the governor. You're just a good-for-nothing, and now you're able to be a captain here. If you have the guts, stab me to death!"

The young general gnashed his teeth, his dark skin was dotted with blue veins, and a burst of anger was about to burst out from his chest.

"Well, you asked for it!"

Captain Yu gritted his teeth in hatred, raised his spear and stabbed it into the young general's chest.

The young general was very angry and stood there motionless.

Just as the spear was about to pierce the young general's chest, a long knife flew over and knocked the spear out of Captain Yu's hand.

Everyone's eyes focused on the direction where the long sword was flying from. They saw Cen Xiao striding towards this side, his cold eyes showing a bit more eerie coldness.

"Who allowed you to provoke me like this on the training ground?"

Pei Qing made a mouth for Cen Xiao, glanced around, and actually learned a little bit of Cen Xiao's ruthlessness.

At that time, Captain Yu was the first to file a complaint.

"It's all his fault! He slandered me without a word and even cursed me!"

Captain Yu’s finger was about to point at the young general’s nose.

Without saying a word, the young general grabbed his fingers, turned his wrist, and tried to break Captain Yu's fingers.

Pei Qing immediately stepped forward and pulled the young general away, but it was too late.

Captain Yu's fingers were visibly deformed and he cried out in pain, even shedding a few tears.

At that time, Cen Xiao walked forward slowly and said, "Just now, I was able to knock your spear away so easily. Your fingers are just like you, so useless and unusable!"

Just now in front of Shen Wantang, Cen Xiao wanted to lose his temper, but he actually endured it.

Unexpectedly, Captain Yu was a troublemaker. Now, Cen Xiao had nothing to tolerate.

I thought Cen Xiao would comfort me and punish the young general, but unexpectedly, he came up and scolded me.

He stared at Cen Xiao in astonishment, then gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Cen Xiao! Are you very happy to see me like this now? Do you know who my uncle is? "

"In my training ground!" Cen Xiao's voice was higher than that of Yu Duwei, and he was awe-inspiring and unquestionable. "It doesn't matter whose name you mention. Even if your uncle is a royal relative, I won't acknowledge him."

"Somebody come!"

Then, Cen Xiao glanced at Captain Yu coldly and said, "Take this bastard away and treat his wounds. From tomorrow on, you don't have to come to the training ground again. If I see you again, I will do to you what you did to him today."

As he spoke, Cen Xiao pointed at the young general who had just been targeted.

"You! Cen Xiao, you bastard! I will definitely file a complaint against you in front of the governor—"

Captain Yu was dragged away, and only his shrill voice could be heard still echoing in the parade ground.

The people who had just stood beside Captain Yu looked at each other, then lowered their heads in disappointment and stood aside.

Cen Xiao swept his sinister eyes over the crowd and said, "If there is anyone who stirs up trouble again, this person will be the one who ends up!"

After the words fell, Pei Qing said coldly: "Did you hear everything clearly?"

Everyone answered: "I heard it clearly!"

Then Pei Qing waved his hand, and everyone dispersed, returned to their original positions, and continued training.

"Sima, thank you Sima!" The young general did not go back, but walked straight forward and spoke respectfully.

Cen Xiao glanced at him coldly, and in an instant, the young general's smile disappeared.

"You were standing there blankly just now, but were you waiting for Captain Yu to take your life?" Cen Xiao did not give a good look, but questioned in a cold voice.

The young general forced a smile and stepped forward again and again: "That Yu guy neglected training all day, and his broken gun can't hurt me."

As he spoke, there was a hint of complacency in his tone.

But before the young general could be happy for long, he was scared back by Cen Xiao's fierce gaze.

"Sima, I'm going to practice over here."

The young general spoke awkwardly, then turned and left.

Looking at the young general's back, Cen Xiao's eyes were somewhat amused. He then raised his eyebrows, waved his finger at the young general, and then turned around and said lazily: "Ask about it."

At that time, Shen Wantang, who saw all this, lowered the curtain.

Life in the military camp is interesting, but now that I have come to Jiangzhou, repeating the same old days would be a bit boring.

Shen Wantang drank the tea and then left the military camp.

"Miss, where are you going?" Qing'e took small steps to catch up and asked hurriedly.

Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows: "Pingjiang Street, let's go boating."

The boat drifted slowly on the Pingjiang River, and the green water reflected its shadow.

A melodious song came from the street, and Shen Wantang closed his eyes comfortably.

It is said that people are obsessed with the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. Who wouldn’t like such a comfortable life?

"Madam, are you from another place?" The boatman asked jokingly, looking at Shen Wantang.

Shen Wantang slowly raised his eyes, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did the boatman know?"

"I can tell from your clothes. I think you came from the north." The boatman thought for a moment and then spoke slowly.

Shen Wantang smiled, and the boatman knew that he had guessed correctly.

"My lady is so blessed!" The boatman rowed the boat and spoke loudly, his voice echoing.

Shen Wantang was a little confused by what she said. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Where does happiness come from?"

"In a few days, the young man from the governor's house will be getting married. The governor has posted a notice, saying that he is inviting all the people in the city to a banquet! As long as you come to the door, you can sit at the table and drink! Isn't this a blessing?"

Talking about this, the boatman became excited and even the strength in his hands increased a lot.

No wonder my aunt had to take care of it herself. It must have been hard work for her to prepare such a big banquet.

"The governor has been doing good deeds all his life, and he has done a lot of good things for Jiangzhou! The Jiangzhou dike not far away was built by the governor. In the early years, there were often floods and waterlogging disasters, but now, Jiangzhou has good weather and good harvests!"

When talking about these things, the boatman couldn't stop smiling.

This is consistent with the image of uncle in Shen Wantang's mind.

This is also thanks to my grandfather's planning back then. If the princes fought each other, there would definitely be bloodshed in the capital.

Before his death, his grandfather arranged for his uncle to live in the prosperous Jiangnan region, and warned General Shen that the capital was dangerous. General Shen rushed to the border to kill the enemy, and Shen Wantang's mother also followed the army.

The children were able to escape the bloody struggle for the throne.

"Alas, what a pity! The governor has done good deeds all his life, but the marriage of his eldest daughter is really not a good one..."

The boatman changed the subject, bringing Shen Wantang back to his senses.

How could the boatman know such private matters in a family?
