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

After he finished speaking, Cen Xiao and the deputy general, who were sitting aside in silence, lowered their heads to hide the upturned corners of their lips.

Dai Ying slammed his palm on the table, stood up, and said angrily: "Shen Wantang, what do you mean! Can you execute me on behalf of the emperor?"

I was so unsure that I could only raise my voice to give myself courage.

But when Shen Wantang raised her eyes, the coldness in her eyes instantly made Dai Ying shut his mouth, and his gaze began to wander.

"Of course I can't." Shen Wantang said quietly, "But I have plenty of ways to make General Dai Ying extremely uncomfortable, so miserable that he would rather die than live."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Ying's legs softened and he sat down with a thump, beads of sweat the size of green beans appearing on his forehead.

"What's the current situation of the army?" Shen Wantang cleared his throat, straightened his clothes, and asked casually.

Although Dai Ying was reluctant, he had no choice but to respond to her.

The deputy general's face turned red from trying to hold back a smile, but the corners of his mouth still did not relax.

"Have the scouts reported anything?" Shen Wantang continued to ask.

Dai Ying stood there in shock, his brows furrowed, "Scout?"

As the words fell, an awkward atmosphere filled the hall.

The deputy general was also shocked. He shook his head helplessly and said, "As the son of the Minister of War, you don't even know what a scout is?"

"If you tell this to others, who would dare to believe that he is the child of the Minister of War? This is simply destroying your own reputation." The deputy general was merciless, and his voice became more and more sarcastic.

Cen Xiao didn't stop him. He just sat there leisurely with a slight smile on his face.

Shen Wantang glanced over with a cold look, and the deputy general immediately shut his mouth.

"It's okay. We can take our time with these things." Shen Wantang stood up slowly, his voice becoming much calmer. "General Dai, I don't mean to be hostile to you. Our original intention is to help His Majesty solve his problems."

Dai Ying raised his eyes with an aggrieved look, and his eyes wandered between Shen Wantang and the other two.

"Thank you for your hard work during the time my father was away. From now on, you just have to listen to me." After leaving these words, Shen Wantang turned and left.

Cen Xiao also stood up, turned his head to glance at Dai Ying, but smiled in a sinister way, and said teasingly: "General Dai... forget it, just call me Master Dai. Goodbye."

After saying that, he followed Shen Wantang and left.

Dai Ying was the only one left in the room. He was so angry that he grabbed the teacup next to him and smashed it to the ground.

Walking on the streets of Hong County, Shen Wantang slowly raised his head and looked thoughtfully at the sun which had not appeared for several days.

There was a sound of horse hooves behind him, and Shen Wantang just stopped.

The horse stopped beside her.

Cen Xiao said, "Why are you in such a hurry to come out? Why don't you wait for me? Aren't you afraid that I will do something bad while you are out?"

"If you do something bad, the soldiers in the county government will definitely not forgive you."

Shen Wantang walked forward on his own, his low voice revealing a sense of alienation.

Cen Xiao jumped off the horse and walked beside Shen Wantang, leading the horse.

"Don't ride a horse next time you go out, so as not to cause panic." Shen Wantang's tone sounded a little blaming.

Cen Xiao glanced at the horse beside him and said helplessly: "How is it in the way? I usually go out on horseback."

But before he could finish his words, Shen Wantang cast a cold glance over at him.

Only then did he shut his mouth.

There is a drugstore not far ahead.

"Boss, please prepare three days' supply of medicine according to this prescription." Shen Wantang handed over the prescription.

Now that war is imminent, the things we need are still not available.

"Boss, how many pharmacies are there in Hong County?" Shen Wantang handed over the copper coins and asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper looked alert and held the medicine tightly in his hand, fearing that Shen Wantang would do something else.

"Madam, why are you asking these questions?" The shopkeeper looked Shen Wantang up and down, and his tone was not as friendly as before.

It seems that they regarded Shen Wantang as an insurgent who came to scout the area.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper." Shen Wantang smiled calmly and took out the token from the government, "I am not a bandit or an enemy."

After looking at the things in Shen Wantang's hand again and again, the shopkeeper finally felt relieved and handed the things in his hand to her.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. Before General Shen came here some time ago, many rebels came here to cause trouble. They would scout the area in advance and attack suddenly at night. At that time, every family was worried and the shops along the street didn't dare to open their doors."

When he mentioned this, tears welled up in the shopkeeper's eyes.

"Later, General Shen came and drove away the rebels. But some time ago, General Shen suddenly left, and everyone was afraid to open their doors again. Only a few shops on the street were open."

Just by listening, Shen Wantang unconsciously clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"Don't worry, boss. Trust us. We will definitely be able to drive these people away."

Because of sadness, Shen Wantang felt a dull pain in his throat.

After leaving the pharmacy, Shen Wantang seemed to be thinking about something.

"I have already sent out the scouts. I believe there will be news soon. Dai Ying doesn't even know what a scout is. I don't know what the person in the palace is thinking to hand over the battlefield to such a person..."

As he spoke, Cen Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud - this was truly the biggest joke he had ever heard in his life.

Looking at Shen Wantang beside him without saying a word, Cen Xiao frowned.

"Prince." Shen Wantang spoke suddenly, which surprised him.

"I need to borrow your spy." Shen Wantang said firmly.

Cen Xiao stood there in a daze, staring at Shen Wantang in front of him, as if thinking about something.

The matter of the spy, except for the people in Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, no one else would know, how could it be...

Looking at Cen Xiao's eyes, Shen Wantang also knew what he was worried about.

"Don't worry, Prince. It's just a loan. You are the one who will pass on the information. I won't interfere." Shen Wantang continued. Although this could not dispel his doubts, it was better than not explaining anything.

Cen Xiao's dark eyes showed no emotion. After a long while, he spoke quietly, "Can't the scout satisfy Miss Shen's request?"

Shen Wantang was frank: "After all, what a scout can find out is limited. Naturally, it cannot compare to the prince's spies."

"Don't worry, I won't trouble you in vain. If it works out now, what you want, if I can help, I will definitely do it for you." Shen Wantang let out a long sigh and said the last sentence.

After the words fell, Cen Xiao raised his evil eyes, the suspicion in his eyes melted away, and he became more interested: "Miss Shen, can you really promise me anything?"

Shen Wantang's eyes tightened, and when she raised her head, she was caught in Cen Xiao's ambiguous eyes.
