On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

As soon as he finished speaking, Lian Zhao stopped in his tracks, and the false politeness in his eyes immediately disappeared.

"Your Highness Lian Zhao, in your dreams at midnight, have you ever thought about returning to your homeland, trampling those who bullied you under your feet, and making them bow down to you?"

Shen Wantang's voice was gentle, but every word was sonorous. Her gaze was fixed on Lian Zhao, leaving him no place to hide.

"Your Highness is a smart man. There is no need to beat around the bush when talking to a smart man. You must understand what we mean."

Shen Wantang took a sip of tea and smiled calmly.

Lian Zhao tightened his grip on the cup a little more - he thought he had hidden it well enough, but the woman in front of him still saw it all.

Then, the fierceness in his eyes disappeared, revealing a smile: "Before, I only knew that Miss Shen was very good at martial arts, but now it seems that this psychological strategy is also powerful."

"You are too kind." Shen Wantang smiled calmly, and then continued his offensive, "Now, we can try to protect you back to Rongguo. In the future, if you need us, we can also protect you and wait for you to ascend the throne."

After the words fell, Lian Zhao laughed out loud, put the cup on the table and said helplessly: "Miss Shen, why do you think that a foreign minister can help us ascend the throne of Rongguo?"

Shen Wantang didn't say anything else, but just shifted his gaze to Ji Xunze beside him.

Lian Zhao understood instantly, but then a wave of fear swept through his heart - he half-closed his eyes and stared at the person sitting next to him.

Immediately, he realized that he had fallen into the trap set by these people.

These people were truly cunning. They had woven a huge net and trapped Lian Zhao tightly.

"My Lord Prince, you yourself wanted to commit treason, so why did you drag me, a foreign minister, into this tragedy with you?" Lian Zhao laughed twice in self-deprecating tone, and then a hint of viciousness covered his eyes.

Hearing this, Cen Xiao clenched his fist tightly. If Lian Zhao made any further move, his fist would be ready to fight back.

Ji Xunze looked sullen for a long time, staring closely at Lian Zhao in front of him——

"Your Highness, I cannot bear the charge of treason. I am only trying to take back the world that originally belonged to me." Ji Xunze's usually kind and humble eyes disappeared, replaced by an unfathomable viciousness.

"There are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests. The interests between you and me are already clear. Your Highness, if you don't do this deal, when you leave this door today, I will treat it as if I didn't meet you today."

Although Ji Xunze's eyes were a little vicious, they were actually sincere.

Lian Zhao stared at it for a long time before he sneered, "Why not do a deal like this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the gloom on Ji Xunze's face suddenly disappeared, and he returned to his usual gentle appearance.

When the door opened again, the sky was already getting light.

After sending Lian Zhao away, Shen Wantang and Cen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

The streets are still deserted in the early morning, and no one dares to set up stalls outside.

"We have been investigating this matter for such a long time, why is there still no clue at all!" Ji Xunchuan's angry voice echoed in the Taiji Hall.

Everyone knelt down and trembled.

"Shaoqing of Dali Temple, how did you make promises for me in the past?" Ji Xunchuan grabbed a handful of documents and threw them in the face of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Shaoqing huddled aside, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Veins bulged on Ji Xunchuan's forehead, but he could only rub his brows and force himself not to fall down.

At that time, an urgent report came from outside the palace -

"Report! During the truce, the Rong Kingdom attacked our city. Our border is in danger!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the court was crowded with people.

Ji Xunchuan frowned, the matter here had not yet come to an end, and the matter there had already started.

"Where is the Zhenbei Marquis?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a mighty figure slowly stood up from the crowd with a sharp gaze.

"Chen is here!"

"I order you to go to Mobei immediately and quell the war!" Ji Xunchuan's eyes were slightly fierce, he clenched his fists and spoke in a stern voice.

Cen Weiwu knelt on the ground with his fists clasped: "Your Majesty, I will not refuse even if I die!"

The Marquis of Zhenbei, who had just returned a few days ago, is now leading his troops north again.

In the capital, every common people felt insecure.

No one goes out on the streets in winter, and now with these things happening, there is no one on the streets, making it particularly deserted.

"The war in Mobei has started again?" Hearing the sound of the army leaving the city, Shen Wantang leaned against the door and looked towards the direction of the city gate.

Cen Xiao sighed: "Yeah."

"Did my old friend leave the city with the army?" Then she lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice.

Cen Xiao's heart was beating fast, and he replied absentmindedly, "Yeah."

"Looking at this, I'm afraid we won't be able to have a good New Year this year." Shen Wantang sighed, then turned around and went back to the room.

Now, in order to investigate the rumors, people all over the country are in panic.

Even business was not as prosperous as before, and the people in Mo County were complaining.

"We wanted to make some money during the Chinese New Year, but now the inspection is so strict, it's like asking for our lives!"

"I don't know what happened. I can't make any money. I feel really bad!"

Outside the government office of Mo County, the people gathered together all day, wanting to write a letter to Magistrate Jiang.

County Magistrate Jiang is now in a dilemma. He has been ordered by his superiors to conduct a thorough investigation, but he really has no other choice. Now he is caught in the middle, unable to be the right person.

"I can't even make any money, someone please pity me!" Looking at the table piled with complaints, County Magistrate Jiang could only close his eyes and pretend not to hear the bell.

Even the wealthy Jiangzhou has been affected to varying degrees.

"Miss, a letter from Jiangzhou."

Early in the morning, Qing'e hurried over with a letter in her hand.

When Shen Wantang heard that it was something from Jiangzhou, he stood up immediately.

As soon as Shen Wantang took the envelope, he frowned - the envelope felt really heavy. Why did his uncle and aunt have so much to say to Shen Wantang?

But as soon as he opened the envelope, Shen Wantang was stunned on the spot——

"Tang'er, I'm glad to see you. There are many disputes in the capital, and my uncle has been imprisoned unjustly. I know you are having a hard time, so I'm sending you some money."

The content of the letter was only a few lines, but the banknotes were indeed a lot.

Shen Wantang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Today, the old butler came and gestured to me, saying that there might be something valuable hidden in here. My cousin even sent people from the escort agency to escort it here."

Qing'e smiled helplessly.

Shen Wantang raised her eyebrows and accepted all the banknotes: "Sister Tao'er's kindness is really simple and unpretentious."

The end of the year is approaching, but it is not as lively as before. There are many more soldiers patrolling the streets. Even those who set off firecrackers will be sent home. In serious cases, they will be thrown into prison!
