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

The carriage traveled along the forest path.

"My people brought me news that the emperor has recalled General Shen."

Cen Xiao thought for a long time, and still handed the note in his hand to Shen Wantang.

Recalled General Shen?

Shen Wantang frowned, but she still didn't believe it due to her stubborn character. She took the letter from Cen Xiao's hand and read it again and again. Then she raised her eyes, with a little more doubt in her eyes.

"You don't have to look at me like that. If you don't believe me, you will understand when you get to Hong County." Cen Xiao raised his eyes, took a long breath, and responded indifferently.

Why were they so anxious to recall the rebels? The rebels in the mountain city had not been completely wiped out. Why were they so anxious?

Could something have happened in the capital?

Shen Wantang pursed her lips.

That shouldn't be the case. Although not all the people in the court are Ji Xunchuan's people, most of them are his people, and some of them are his most trusted ministers. Even if something happens, they won't be so nervous.

What's more, what kind of thing is it that requires recalling a military general back to the capital?

"The rebels in the mountain city have not been wiped out yet. If General Shen cannot fight with us this time, then there will be only two of us left." Cen Xiao's eyebrows moved, he raised his eyes, and his brows slightly raised.

Shen Wantang glanced towards him, but as soon as her gaze met his, she suddenly lowered her eyes.

"Don't forget, Prince, I'm just an inspector." Shen Wantang spoke coldly and mercilessly.

After he finished speaking, Cen Xiao paused. Instead of being angry, there was a hint of interest in his eyes.

The sun slowly sets in the west, and Hong County is right in sight.

I don’t know why, but the further south you go, the more depressing the county seems to be.

Looking at Hong County from a distance, one always feels depressed.

The carriage slowly stopped at the city gate, and the officer guarding the city came forward. One could tell at a glance from the fierceness in his eyes that he had been on the battlefield.

This feeling was so familiar that the deputy general hurried forward and wanted to reminisce with this "brother".

Just as he took a step forward, the officer clenched the spear in his hand and pointed it at the deputy general.

The red tasseled spear separated the two men, and the smile on the deputy general's face was twisted.

"Who are you?" the officer asked in a loud voice.

Seeing that people were so unromantic, the deputy general waved his hand, took out the token of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion from his chest, and displayed it in front of everyone: "Zhenbei Marquis's son, I have been ordered to come here to suppress the rebellion."

"My prince is in the carriage right now. Oh, and General Shen's daughter, Miss Shen, is also in the carriage. You should know this, right? Didn't General Shen just leave a few days ago?"

The deputy general raised his eyes and spoke.

The officers looked at each other.

"Come with me!" The officer who was blocking the deputy general put away his spear and spoke slowly.

The officials led the way.

Cen Xiao slowly lifted the curtain and looked at the streets of Hong County - no one went out during the day for no reason. It was completely different from Qingshui Town and even Mo County.

"What else did your informant tell you?" Shen Wantang asked softly.

Cen Xiao was stunned for a moment, turned around, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Apart from the news about my father, the prince should know something else, right?" Shen Wantang turned around and smiled coldly, with an unquestionable chill in his eyes.

The reason why the Zhenbei Marquisate was able to hold military power was not only because it had its own brave and loyal army, but also because of the Cen family's unique intelligence network.

Cen Xiao is also a romantic man. In his previous life, on his wedding night with Shen Wantang, he showed Shen Wantang everything about himself.

Including the intelligence network that the Cen family is proud of.

"Sometimes I am very curious about who Miss Shen is. It seems that she can see through people's hearts."

Cen Xiao smiled helplessly. Although he looked calm and composed, he was curious in his heart.

Seeing through people’s hearts is nothing more than God’s curtain hanging after one has died.

Seeing that Shen Wantang didn't say anything, Cen Xiao slowly said, "You will know when we get to the county government office."

After a while, the carriage slowly stopped.

General Dai was already waiting at the door.

"Greetings to the Prince of Zhenbei Marquis." General Dai stepped forward and bowed.

"I didn't expect that the one who stayed here was the acting general." Cen Xiao pretended to be surprised, then turned his head to look at Shen Wantang behind him and raised his eyebrows.

It turns out that this was the suspense he was keeping.

Dai Ying was a well-known playboy in the capital. He got into trouble and was sent to the military camp by his father, the Minister of War. He had never even been on the battlefield many times and only had some ability to talk about military affairs on paper.

How could Dad be so desperate to leave this generation of generals here?

Shen Wantang's face darkened instantly.

Dai Ying realized what Shen Wantang meant.

"Oh, I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be the eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Wantang, whose kung fu is the best among all the women in Beijing!" Dai Ying acted calmly, but his tone was clearly hostile.

Shen Wantang didn't want to waste time talking to him, so he stepped forward and bowed, "General Dai."

Several people entered the county government office.

In the front hall, Dai Ying was not polite at all and walked straight to the seat of honor. His butt seemed to be stuck to the seat. No matter how Cen Xiao looked at him, he did not move at all.

It’s okay. A gentleman doesn’t care about trivial matters.

Cen Xiao sneered and sat aside.

"Now that the emperor has temporarily recalled General Shen to the capital, I am in charge of the army. We cannot force our way through with such a small army. I have already contacted the generals guarding the city nearby, and now I can gather 20,000 troops."

Dai Ying was not polite at all, and acted as if he was in control of the situation and was sure of victory.

It was as if I was Zhou Gongjin - with a feather fan and a blue scarf, and while chatting and laughing, the masts, oars, and sails were reduced to ashes.

"Do you know how many rebels there are near Hong County?" Shen Wantang asked sternly without showing any mercy, "Do you know where the rebels are stationed?"

"Do you know what their equipment is like? What is their combat capability?"

Shen Wantang left Dai Ying speechless with just a few words.

He had just sat in the seat of honor with such a thick face, but now he felt like sitting on pins and needles, with the words of rebuttal stuck in his mouth like a thorn in his throat.

"General Dai, it's not that we don't trust you, but do you really have the ability to be a general?"

Shen Wantang rebuked coldly, staring at Dai Ying with his sharp eyes, not missing any change in expression on his face, and the cold breath instantly spread throughout the hall.

Hearing this, Cen Xiao slowly lowered his head, with a hint of "revenge" on the corner of his mouth.

Dai Ying was speechless for a long time before he managed to utter a string of words from his tight throat: "But the emperor asked me to come. Do you want to question the emperor?"

Would Shen Wantang be scared by bringing Ji Xunchuan out?

He was wrong.

"As a minister, I should distinguish right from wrong. Your Majesty has been deceived by a traitor, so we naturally want to ask Your Majesty to help me solve my problem. For this kind of thing, even if I act first and report later, I think Your Majesty will understand me."
