"Sir!"

The deputy general shouted.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wantang rushed in, only to see Cen Xiao's face was pale, and he had fallen to the side, unconscious.

The doctor came forward hurriedly.

Several people worked together to carry Cen Xiao to the side. The doctor examined him for a while and confirmed that Cen Xiao was fine. Only then did he feel relieved.

"Did you sew this scar?" The doctor looked at the deputy general beside him in surprise and asked.

The deputy general nodded and said, "I have followed the prince for many years and learned a lot. This is one of them."

Shen Wantang seemed to be thinking about something, and looked at the deputy general thoughtfully.

She had never seen this deputy general in her previous life, but she heard from her brothers in the army that before the two got married, the deputy general returned to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and stayed by the old marquis's side on behalf of Cen Xiao.

Now, they have been traveling together for a long time, but they still don’t know the name of this deputy general.

"The prince's wound is not serious, but he is still in a coma. I will go back and get some medicine, boil it and give it to the prince." The doctor packed up the box in his hand and left the county government office.

Seeing Cen Xiao lying quietly on the bed, Shen Wantang couldn't help but shed tears.

She wanted to hold Cen Xiao's hand with her trembling hands, but after hesitating for a long time, she finally did not hold it.

In the previous life, the two were forced to separate. On the day of Cen Xiao's tragic death, Shen Wantang knelt down and begged for mercy, asking Ji Xunchuan to let her see Cen Xiao for the last time.

That night was the most humiliating night for Shen Wantang.

After a whole night of tossing and turning, she was exhausted the next morning.

The gauze curtain was slowly opened, and she lay on the bed with a lifeless look in her eyes like a pool of stagnant water, and there were many red marks on her body.

"Your Majesty, everything has been handled according to your instructions." The eunuch came forward and reported in a shrill voice.

Ji Xunchuan spoke lazily, turned around and glanced at the dragon couch, snorted coldly, and deliberately raised his voice: "Already dead? Then just deal with it as we agreed beforehand."

Shen Wantang moved his body and tried to resist, but his whole body was in great pain.

After the eunuch left, the beastly man lifted the veil, held her face, and looked at him with a sly smile: "Don't think about the one in your heart anymore. Now, I'm afraid he has become the meal of Zhenbei Hou."

"Miss Shen."

The deputy general's voice brought Shen Wantang back to her senses. She was startled and pulled her hand back.

"What's wrong with you?" the deputy general came forward.

Under the dim light, Shen Wantang's eyes were extremely bloodshot.

She hurriedly lowered her head to hide her panic and cleared her throat: "Nothing."

"I'm sorry. I've been busy with the soldiers' affairs during this period and neglected the prince." After she came to her senses, she raised her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a traceable movement.

The deputy general looked at Cen Xiao, who was lying on the bed beside him, with an extremely distressed look.

"Most doctors in the army are there to treat soldiers. In order to take good care of the prince, I had no choice but to do it. Over the years, I have learned a lot."

The lieutenant spoke.

Shen Wantang slowly raised her head, but tears blurred her eyes again: "Thank you for your hard work."

I didn't know when the rain would stop. Just when it started to slow down a little, it got heavier again.

The rain kept falling, and the city could not be rebuilt. The rooms were moldy, and even the medicinal materials in the warehouse showed signs of mold.

The soldiers could only light a fire, hoping to use the heat from the fire to drive away the moisture.

However, good news came from the dam thirty miles away.

"Thanks to your timely reminder, when the brothers arrived, the dam had already cracked. Fortunately, the rain was not heavy at the time, and the dam was repaired, which really saved this year's crops!"

This is the first good news in many days.

Shen Wantang let out a long sigh.

The heavy rain continued for three days before it finally stopped at night.

The next morning, the sun rose and hung high in the sky.

The sun, which had not been seen for many days, restored a lot of energy and spirits of the people.

"I told you not to drink this medicine."

Looking at the medicine in the deputy general's hand, Cen Xiao frowned and said with disgust.

"Prince, if you don't take the medicine, this wound will never heal!" The deputy general said like he was coaxing a child.

But just as the medicine was brought to Cen Xiao's mouth, he suddenly knocked it to the ground.

The bowl fell at the feet of Shen Wantang who had just entered the room and broke into pieces.

"Miss Shen..." The deputy general smiled awkwardly, glanced at Cen Xiao, and then turned and left.

"The bowl of medicine you spilled today was saved by the soldiers with great difficulty for you." Shen Wantang squatted down and picked up the broken pieces slowly.

"It has been raining for a long time, and many medicinal herbs have become moldy. In order to let you drink the medicine, the soldiers will save some every day." Shen Wantang walked forward slowly, with a hint of anger in his dark eyes.

Cen Xiao lowered his head and said nothing.

"How is your injury?" Shen Wantang sat down and was about to go forward to check Cen Xiao's wound.

Cen Xiao turned around abruptly and held her clothes tightly: "You are an unmarried girl, how can you look at a man's body so casually!"

She forgot...

Shen Wantang barely pulled back the hand he had extended.

He coughed twice in embarrassment and then sat aside.

"The reinforcements were not able to arrive in time due to the rain. We still need to recuperate during this period. If we want to annihilate all the rebels, I'm afraid it will take a long time."

Shen Wantang recounted in detail what had happened recently.

Cen Xiao nodded in agreement.

"It's okay. We suffered some losses due to the rainy weather, but the people in Shancheng suffered much more than us. Moreover, the rebels in this area have been wiped out, and only the stronghold in Shancheng remains."

Cen Xiao let out a long sigh. Judging from the tone of his voice, he seemed to want to take some time to recuperate.

Shen Wantang had the same idea.

"I have already written a letter and sent it to the capital. The emperor's decree will be issued soon." Shen Wantang spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "His will? What do I need his will for?"

"It's a reward for you, of course." Shen Wantang responded.

As soon as the words fell, a burst of disdainful sneers came over, and Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows: "I don't lack that little military merit."

Every word between the lines is a satire on the person in the palace.

Walls have ears. Shen Wantang glanced over with a cold look, and Cen Xiao finally shut his mouth.

"I have also sent a letter to Mo County. I believe the supplies will be delivered in the next few days." Shen Wantang continued.

During the days of recuperation, Cen Xiao had forgotten about the fat Magistrate Jiang.

He raised his eyebrows, leaned against the bed, and carefully looked at Shen Wantang in front of him. His thin lips slightly raised, he asked with interest: "Does everyone targeted by Miss Shen have to be skinned like County Magistrate Jiang?"
