Seeing Shen Wantang's provocative look, the imperial guard put his hand on the hilt of his sword and was about to draw it.

Shen Wantang didn't care. He reached out his hand and forcibly stuffed the sword back into his hand.

"Since you are a member of the imperial guards, you must know my skills. You must be a smart person. I believe you will not do something that will hurt you and cause you to lose your job."

Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows and said something that made the imperial guard blush, but no one could find any fault with him.

But even so, the imperial guard still gave her a fierce look.

"It's enough to buy one box. The rest of the money, little general, can be used to buy wine." Shen Wantang stuffed the banknote into the man's hand, then put on a faint smile and turned to walk into the house.

Ever since the imperial court issued a notice saying that the person who spread the rumors had been caught, more and more people have appeared on the streets.

"Boss, a box of chestnut cakes."

The young general of the imperial guards changed his clothes and came reluctantly to help buy things.

The boss frowned as soon as he saw the banknotes handed over: "Why is this young man buying things with banknotes?"

As soon as the words fell, the imperial guard was startled, and lowered his eyes in embarrassment - he had never been the head of the family, and he really didn't know that there were such things when buying things.

However, the shopkeeper just smiled calmly and waved his hand: "Well, I can change it, young master, just wait a moment."

After a while, the shopkeeper brought over the chestnut cake and the change.

"Sir, please take care."

After sending the man away, the shopkeeper just turned around and saw a man in black standing on the counter without anyone noticing, with sharp eyes, looking for something.

He hurried forward and handed over the silver note that the imperial guards had brought just now: "Sir, what you ordered has been done."

Bai Ge nodded with satisfaction, took out two more silver bills from his pocket, and then disappeared into the backyard.

He took the banknote back and applied the prepared potion on it. A few big words appeared on the banknote:

"Tell Cen Xiao and fake your death to deceive the world."

After leaving a letter, the white dove hurried away.

As they got closer and closer to Mobei, Cen Xiao remained silent along the way.

"There are many bandits in this area, and they rob everything they can. You'd better be careful and don't let those bastards rob you."

Cen Xiao glanced around and reminded in a cold voice.

In the silent wilderness, there was only the sound of horse hooves stepping on the snow, but suddenly there was a burst of mocking laughter: "Shouldn't the biggest bandit leader in this area be the Marquis of Zhenbei?"

"Oh, no, it's not Marquis of Zhenbei. Now that the title is lost, we should call him, Thief Cen." Sarcasm came from the crowd, followed by mocking voices.

Cen Xiao had heard a lot of gossip along the way and had long been numb to it. He just sighed, lowered his eyes and said nothing more.

"Shut up!"

A hoarse rebuke was heard, and General Ye threw his empty kettle of water over, hitting the man squarely on the body.

"Now that the war is imminent, are you trying to shake the morale of the army? If I hear anyone being so presumptuous again, I'll be punished!"

Along the way, General Ye saw everything and developed some respect for Cen Xiao.

After hearing General Ye's words, everyone put away their arrogant smiles.

After a moment, a rustling sound was heard in the forest.

Cen Xiao was very familiar with this kind of voice. He frowned and drew out the sword.

"They are bandits." He looked around with cold eyes.

Just as he finished speaking, an arrow flew towards him from the woods. Cen Xiao dodged it by suddenly turning sideways.

The noise in the forest became louder and louder. Only a howl was heard, and then countless people poured out of the forest.

In just a moment, everyone started fighting each other.

This group of bandits was really strange. They were more organized than those we encountered in the past. When they started fighting, even though General Ye was an experienced man, he lost his footing for a moment.

The successive defeats made everyone feel powerless. Finally, a scout escaped and went straight to the capital.

Two horses died of running before they finally reached the city gate.

"Quick, hurry and tell His Majesty that the enemy is coming!"

But just as he reached the city gate, the man fell off his horse with a sudden thrust. He had not slept for several days and nights and died of exhaustion in front of the city gate.

"How could this be?"

Ji Xunchuan slammed the table and stood up, shouting harshly.

The court was crowded with people, but no one dared to speak.

After a long while, the Minister of War stepped forward slowly, his eyes fixed, "Your Majesty, the only way now is to send more troops to subdue these demons and monsters!"

Having said that, there are only a few people in the court who can lead troops.

"I have an unreasonable request!" The Minister of War knelt down in the palace, ready to be dismissed from his post. "Your Majesty, please allow General Shen to lead the troops to the battle to atone for his sins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Ji Xunchuan could even open his mouth, there were already voices of opposition in the court.

"No! General Shen was dismissed from his post to serve as a warning to others. How can we let him go so easily now? Moreover, he was appointed by His Majesty. No! Absolutely not!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone responded.

Ji Xunchuan's originally wavering thoughts disappeared in an instant.

Dai Mengtao frowned, but seeing Ji Xunchuan's unquestionable expression, he had nothing to say.

Now it is in a deadlock again.

"Your Majesty, I do have a candidate." The Minister of Justice, who had been silent for a long time, spoke slowly, "Shen Wantang is the daughter of General Shen. She has the demeanor of General Shen and once helped Your Majesty quell the rebellion in Shancheng. In my opinion, she is the best choice."

After the words were spoken, the crowd's questioning voices slowly died down.

The only solution now is to let Shen Wantang go.

Suddenly, the hurried figures of the Imperial Guards appeared on the long street which was as quiet as usual, and everyone tried to avoid them.

The gate of Liuhe Palace slowly opened, and Shen Wantang, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes - news came so soon?

"The Emperor has decreed that I will send Shen Wantang to Mobei to quell the rebellion. He will set off today."

A barely perceptible smile flashed across Shen Wantang's lips, and then he acted very respectfully and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

"Your Highness Shen Wantang, I accept your order."

At daybreak, the army had already gathered outside the city. Shen Wantang looked back at the capital city behind him, a layer of shadow covering his eyes - when he came back again, it would be a different scene.

Although the ice and snow have already smiled, it is still white all the way north.

The army led by Shen Wantang was the former army of the Shen family.

The Shen family army is only loyal to the Shen family and doesn't care about anything else.

Within a few days, they arrived at the place where Cen Xiaozhong had ambushed before.

There was a sound of birds chirping in the forest, and Shen Wantang raised his eyes in surprise.
