The man's voice was like a loud bell. He pulled the reins tightly, and the horse let out a long sigh and stopped outside the military camp.

The father-in-law frowned, turned around, and the anger in his triangular eyes fell on Cen Xiao.

Cen Xiao jumped off his horse, stepped forward, and knelt respectfully: "I am late in coming, please forgive me, eunuch."

The eunuch sneered, glared at Cen Xiao fiercely, and said in a harsh voice: "Your Highness, there is no need to apologize to this old servant. You should think about how to explain to His Majesty."

Cen Xiao slowly raised his head. Although he had a smile on his face, his smile did not express his true feelings, and it made people feel a chill down their spine.

"The Emperor has issued an order that the rebels in Shancheng are causing chaos, and has ordered the son of Zhenbei Marquis, Cen Xiao, to lead the troops there. General Shen, General Ye and all the others are to be at the disposal of the son of Zhenbei Marquis. I decree this."

The eunuch dragged out the last syllable of his voice, and Shen Wantang felt a jolt in his heart.

Voices of people accepting orders rang out around them, but Shen Wantang was the only one who remained stunned where he was.

In the previous life, it was General Shen who went to pacify the rebels, but why is it that today, it is... Cen Xiao!?

The eunuch placed the imperial edict in Cen Xiao's hand, snorted, pulled his loose skin, and forced out a creepy smile: "Son, please don't disappoint the emperor's expectations."

Cen Xiao raised his head, and raised his eyes wickedly: "I will definitely live up to the trust of the emperor."

After he finished speaking, the eunuch snorted barely perceptibly, then turned and left.

Now the task of leading the troops to fight did not fall on anyone in the military camp, but instead fell on the head of the son of Zhenbei Marquis, who did not belong to the new emperor's camp.

Everyone's eyes intertwined, and they were thinking something in their hearts.

This is the first military mission after the new emperor ascended the throne. If the battle is successful, he will be promoted.

"Prince, I didn't expect that the emperor would choose you to be the leader." General Ye, who was the most excited just now, spoke.

Cen Xiao carefully put away the imperial edict and handed it to the deputy general beside him.

"General Ye, your jealous heart is shaking and is about to fall over." Cen Xiao pulled up a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.

"You!" Old Ye was choked for a moment and stretched out his hand to point at Cen Xiao.

Cen Xiao glanced through the crowd and stopped for a moment on Shen Wantang not far away.

Everyone was determined to quell the rebellion, but unexpectedly, Cen Xiao showed up halfway and snatched everyone's Feng Tou Ming before the rebellion was quelled. At this moment, everyone was filled with anger.

"Suppressing the rebellion is urgent. Generals, pack up and set off in three days." Cen Xiao left his back and a few words before mounting his horse and leaving.

"That's unreasonable!"

General Ye's voice was as loud as a bell, and he punched the training post. In an instant, the post was smashed to pieces.

"You shameless boy, how dare you challenge me!"

Mr. Ye is an upright man who has never suffered any loss in his life, but now he has been brought down by Cen Xiao.

The sixty-year-old man's face was as red as the sun, and he wished he could catch up with Cen Xiao and teach him a lesson.

General Shen stepped forward and grabbed Elder Ye: "Old General! Now that things have come to this, there is nothing else we can do!"

"Since this kid is so rude, don't blame me for being rude! Come on! Go to the court and ask for leave. Say that I am ill and can no longer fight for the emperor!"

Old Master Ye pushed away the person next to him, spoke in a low voice, and turned away.

The remaining few people looked at each other, and went back without saying anything.

"Dad." Shen Wantang came forward, her brows furrowed, "I'm afraid this trip will be dangerous."

General Shen knew it, but the emperor had already issued an order. Although the Shen family had military industry to rely on, they could not become arrogant because of the favor, otherwise they would be criticized in the future.

"Don't worry, Tang'er, Daddy will definitely return safely."

Having said that, but...

"The emperor's will cannot be disobeyed, Tang'er." General Shen patted Shen Wantang on the shoulder and sighed deeply.

How could he not know that this journey was dangerous? General Shen knew in his heart that this was a test from the new emperor to the generals.

The merit of following the emperor is enough to make the Shen family rich for half their lives. As long as the Shen family is safe, it doesn't matter if they don't have the military power.

"Tang'er, go back quickly." General Shen smiled indifferently, then turned around and returned to the tent.

The emperor's heart is hard to predict, and the anger in Shen Wantang's eyes gradually spread.

An eagle was hovering on the mountain in the west, and its sharp cry seemed to pierce the sky.

Only sharp arrows kept shooting out, and the only sound left in the air was the echo of the eagle's cry.

"Sir, we hit it!" the deputy general shouted, then ran over and caught the eagle that had landed deep in the jungle.

Cen Xiao pulled the reins and the horse walked towards him.

"Take it back and make an eagle feather fan." Cen Xiao said casually, pulling the reins and preparing to leave.

Suddenly, a strange noise came from behind.

Cen Xiao picked up the arrow and put it on the bow. The arrow left the string and landed squarely on a tree.

The arrow brushed past the girl's face, and she suddenly froze in place, her eyes falling on Cen Xiao who was riding a horse not far away.

"Miss Shen?" The deputy general stepped forward happily, but what he saw was indeed Shen Wantang standing there.

Passing through the lush forest, Cen Xiao had already seen Shen Wantang and pulled the reins to the side.

"Miss Shen said last night that I don't follow the beaten path. I didn't expect that Miss Shen would use all kinds of strange tricks to see me." Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows, smiling.

The deputy general understood instantly, pulled out the arrow and left in a hurry.

"I went to your military camp to look for you, and they said you were hunting in the mountains." Shen Wantang spoke coldly, neither humble nor arrogant.

The two men left from the bushes.

"Do you want me to arrange for your father to stay in a safer place?" Cen Xiao asked curiously, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Shen Wantang.

Shen Wantang didn't dare to look him in the eye, but lowered her eyes and said, "Please, whether the Shen family can get through this difficult time depends on whether the prince is willing to help."

This is quite interesting.

Cen Xiao stopped and looked at Shen Wantang with interest.

After looking at him for a long time, he finally spoke: "Miss Shen, I really can't figure you out."

"Prince, guess what I am doing?" Shen Wantang turned around, his expression indifferent, his whole body showing neatness.

Cen Xiao couldn't help but laugh angrily and took two quick steps forward.

But it forced Shen Wantang to take two steps back.

He stood still and smiled helplessly: "Ms. Shen, you provoke me again and again, but you don't tell me the reason. This makes me curious, why do you do this?"

"If you like me, why did you reject the marriage that the emperor gave us? If you are annoyed by me, why do you keep approaching me?"

Cen Xiao spoke out all his doubts without reservation.

A breeze blew by, blowing away the disguise on Shen Wantang's face. A feeling of bitterness surged into her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.
