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

As the sky gradually darkened, the lights in Qingshui Town also lit up.

This lively scene is not inferior to that in the counties during the day.

Vendors along the street were hawking all kinds of goods.

Walking on the corridor, Shen Wantang looked around.

This Qingshui Town is so prosperous that it is much better than the surrounding counties.

Of course, this is the second reason why the rebels chose this place - money.

"Baozi! Big freshly baked buns!"

The aroma of steamed buns wafted over from not far away. If Shen Wantang hadn't heard the sound, she would have forgotten that she was already starving.

"Boss, give me two buns."

Shen Wantang came forward and asked.

The boss smiled and pointed to a table nearby, saying politely, "Okay, please sit over here, sir. The buns will be served to you right away."

After a short while, the proprietress came over with buns and a bowl of mutton soup.

"Boss, I..." Shen Wantang was stunned for a moment and looked up at the boss's wife.

"Don't worry, sir. This is a gift from us." The proprietress spoke in a loud and clear voice with a beautiful smile. She patted Shen Wantang's shoulder with such strength - she was indeed a businessman.

Shen Wantang curled the corners of her mouth. The aroma of the mutton soup in front of her tempted her, so she was no longer polite.

Just as she drank a bowl of mutton soup, a hand with blue veins and distinct joints appeared on the bun in front of her.

"My dear young master, I came out in a hurry and didn't bring any money. I wonder if you can help me?"

Shen Wantang raised her head, and Cen Xiao deliberately dragged out the emphasis with a joking tone.

Before Shen Wantang could respond, he sat down without any hesitation, picked up the bun and put it into his mouth.

"Mmm! These buns are really delicious! Boss, give me two more!"

Shen Wantang put down the mutton soup and stared at Cen Xiao in front of him with a vigilant look.

After the boss brought the buns in the back, she finally spoke: "You followed me."

Cen Xiao swallowed the bun in his mouth, raised his eyebrows and shook his head: "Young Master, why do you say that? I would like to ask you, where did you come from and why?"

"Of course I came to check out the situation." Shen Wantang cleared his throat, looked at Cen Xiao eating with relish in front of him, and picked up the bun to eat as well.

Cen Xiao raised the corner of his mouth: "What a coincidence, I am here to inquire about the situation as well."

"you!"

Shen Wantang paused: "Ahem... ahem..."

The bun and the words were stuck in her throat. She glanced at the man in front of her, feeling both love and hate in her heart.

"How is it? Have you found out anything?" Cen Xiao looked around and asked casually.

The only response he got was Shen Wantang's silence.

"Little boy..."

"Eat without talking or sleeping without talking."

Shen Wantang was too lazy to say anything more to him and spoke coldly.

After eating the buns, the two continued to inquire about the situation in the town.

It is already night time, but the sounds of hawking can be heard constantly in the town, which is very different from the capital.

Shen Wantang couldn't help but frown.

"Seeing how much the people of Qingshui Town like doing business, tomorrow's market will definitely be a good option." After a long time, Shen Wantang spoke slowly, and as she spoke, her eyes fell on Cen Xiao.

Cen Xiao put away his previous cynicism and looked calm and composed.

"Of course." Hearing Shen Wantang's words, his expression seemed to relax for a moment, and he raised his eyebrows.

After walking around the town, the two returned to the military camp outside the town.

"We'll proceed as planned tomorrow."

All the generals were called together and Cen Xiao gave instructions.

These generals followed Cen Xiao across the country, made countless military achievements, and were victorious in every battle.

Asking them to suppress the rebels now is really like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

"General, rest assured. Tomorrow, within half an hour, we will be able to wipe out all the rebels in this city!"

As soon as the words were spoken, morale boosted.

But Shen Wantang seemed to be thinking about something.

"We can't kill them all," she said slowly.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on her.

The emperor's spy had already made everyone unhappy, but unexpectedly, this spy would also gossip while everyone was discussing matters.

Everyone sneered, but since Cen Xiao didn't say anything, no one dared to say anything.

"Tonight, Prince Cen and I went to Qingshui Town to investigate. The people in Qingshui Town were not as rumored, bullied by the rebels and living a life worse than death. Instead, they lived and worked in peace and contentment."

Shen Wantang analyzed calmly, "There may be another hidden story. When we take action tomorrow, I ask all soldiers not to kill them all and leave some alive."

Everyone's eyes turned to Cen Xiao, who had been silent for a long time.

Shen Wantang also looked at him.

"Okay, since the person sent by the emperor has spoken, then let's do it." Cen Xiao let out a long sigh and raised an ambiguous smile at the corner of his eyes.

Now that Cen Xiao has finalized everything, even though everyone is dissatisfied, they no longer say anything.

After everyone left, Shen Wantang also stood up and wanted to leave.

"Young Master." Cen Xiao said in a joking tone.

Shen Wantang steadied his steps, turned around, and stared at the man with a stubborn look: "My Lord, are you happy teasing me?"

Cen Xiao's arms were propped up on his side, his head leaning on his hands. The candlelight reflected on his face, and there was a hint of playfulness on his evil face.

"It's not a joke." Cen Xiao spoke slowly.

Shen Wantang didn't say much, just glared at him and turned away.

Outside the tent, he whispered to himself, "Why didn't I realize before that this guy is so..."

As she spoke, she turned around, glanced at the tent behind her, and then turned and left.

The next morning.

As planned in advance, the market outside the town opened and people came early to set up stalls.

The hundreds of people who followed Cen Xiao changed their clothes and pretended to be ordinary people and entered the town in batches. The rest who were ambushing around the town were also ready to go.

As soon as Cen Xiao's smoke bomb was fired, everyone rushed out in full force.

The people of the town gathered at the entrance and outside of the town, but there were not many people where the rebel leader was on the map.

Cen Xiao and Shen Wantang went straight to the courtyard.

This courtyard is the most magnificent not only in Qingshui Town, but also in the area within a hundred miles.

As expected, after gaining power, the first thing people think of is enjoyment.

Shen Wantang was about to step forward when Cen Xiao grabbed her wrist from behind.

He pulled her behind him, then slowly walked forward and knocked on the door.

But after a moment, an elderly voice came faintly from inside the door: "Here we come..."

Then, the door creaked open and an old man with white hair stuck his head out.

"Are you two here to look for my master?" the old man asked softly with a kind smile.

Cen Xiao nodded, smiling seriously: "A few days ago, I asked someone to bring him a message, saying that I came to see him today, I wonder if he has prepared wine and food?"
