Cen Xiao walked forward slowly with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"It was Lord Dai who stuffed Dai Ying into the military camp. Once he entered the military camp, he became a soldier. As a soldier, it was his responsibility to fight on the battlefield. Not to mention suffering minor injuries, it was not impossible for him to die on the battlefield."

Cen Xiao spoke directly. He had no intention of giving Dai Mengtao a way out. Instead, he wanted to lift him up high to see how he struggled in the air.

He slowly stood in front of Dai Mengtao and raised his eyebrows: "All the soldiers in the army can do this, why, is it that only General Dai Ying cannot do this?"

Dai Mengtao's words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Everyone has come all the way from the capital. Don't wait here. The people in the city are already ready to welcome you."

The deputy general Gao Sheng shouted at the side.

As soon as the words fell, the convoy headed towards the city.

Dai Mengtao glanced coldly at Cen Xiao, then glared at Shen Wantang who was kneeling on the ground. He gritted his teeth and uttered a string of words from his tight throat: "Good, a good prince, a good inspector!"

After he finished speaking, he turned away.

After everyone left, Cen Xiao reached out his hand and tried to help Shen Wantang up.

She turned her eyes, walked away from Cen Xiao's hand, and stood up.

"Thank you, Prince, for helping me out." Shen Wantang bowed.

Cen Xiao smiled awkwardly and withdrew his hand that was hanging in the air.

As soon as Dai Mengtao entered the county government office, he was led by someone and went straight to Dai Ying's room.

Just looking at his back, Cen Xiao said helplessly: "Just wait, there is another good show to watch."

Sure enough, Dai Ying's miserable cries were heard from the backyard again.

Shen Wantang indeed looked calm. He just glanced at the backyard and walked towards the front hall.

Not long after the crying in the backyard stopped, Dai Mengtao came to the front hall in a threatening manner.

"Prince Cen, my son is sick, why do you want to keep him under house arrest? He is injured! And you also send many people to keep a close eye on him. Are you watching a prisoner, Prince Cen?"

Dai Mengtao shouted harshly, the veins on his neck bulged and his face turned red in an instant.

Cen Xiao just sat aside, leisurely waving his folding fan.

Shen Wantang stepped forward and said, "Sir, it is my idea to find someone to take care of General Dai Ying."

"General Dai Ying's leg was injured a month ago. Such an injury requires bed rest. However, General Dai is very active and often sneaks out in the middle of the night. As a result, more than a month has passed and the injury on his leg has not improved. I have no choice but to resort to this measure."

Shen Wantang talked about the whole thing from beginning to end, but this made Dai Mengtao even more anxious.

"You mean it's my son's fault!"

Dai Mengtao grabbed the teacup at hand and threw it out the door.

The teacup was shattered on the floor at the door.

Cen Xiao suddenly stood up and quickly stood beside Shen Wantang.

"Master Dai, you came here for the war, not for these trivial matters. Why don't you finish the business first and talk about other things later?"

Cen Xiao's dark eyes were faintly revealing murderous intent. He was holding Meng Tao's head higher than his head, with his eyes lowered, staring down at him condescendingly.

Dai Mengtao snorted coldly, turned around and sat down.

"The emperor was very pleased with the battle in Hong County, and he specially ordered me to inspect it and make plans for the next battle."

He coughed lightly and spoke slowly.

Listening to the Minister of War's sermon-like words, Cen Xiao could not help but close his eyes, and even the folding fan in his hand fell silent.

I do not know how long it has been.

"Cen Xiao!" Dai Mengtao woke Cen Xiao up with an angry rebuke.

Cen Xiao twitched and the folding fan in his hand fell to the ground.

"You really don't take the emperor seriously! When I return to Beijing, I will definitely report you!" Dai Mengtao pointed his trembling finger at Cen Xiao and said through gritted teeth.

The deputy general at the side picked up the folding fan and handed it to Cen Xiao.

"I'm really sorry, Lord Dai. I've been very busy with work recently and it was not intentional to be negligent." Cen Xiao coughed twice.

Dai Mengtao stared at Cen Xiao for a long time. Many things he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say them for a long time. In the end, he just turned away.

Looking at Dai Mengtao who left in a rage, Cen Xiao snorted coldly.

Then his eyes fell on Shen Wantang, who had been silent for a long time, and his brows could not help but frowned: "Miss Shen is usually very eloquent, why is it that she became a quail when she met Master Dai?"

Shen Wantang raised his eyes, glanced at Cen Xiao indifferently, then turned and left.

Seeing Shen Wantang leave, the deputy general at the side finally spoke: "Sir! The Shen family and the Dai family seem to have some connection."

After saying this, the deputy general stopped talking.

Cen Xiao raised his eyes and signaled the deputy to continue.

"It is said that it was because Lord Dai had made a mistake in his previous strategic planning, and General Shen saw it and did not follow Lord Dai's wishes. As a result, General Shen won a great victory in that battle.

"This was a huge loss of face for the Minister of War, Lord Dai! Since then, the conflict between the two families has been established."

The deputy general spoke for a while, but Cen Xiao seemed to be thinking about something.

He had heard of this matter, but he only learned about the story behind it today.

It seems that Shen Wantang will have a hard time with the arrival of this generation of Meng Tao.

Cen Xiao frowned, suddenly stood up and walked out.

Since Shen Wantang came here on behalf of Meng Tao, he would take him to see the basic situation in the military camp and the situation in Hong County during the day, and review official documents at night.

But within a few days, he had become visibly thinner, and the bruises under his eyes had been there for a long time.

In the blink of an eye, autumn is coming.

Autumn is the season of harvest.

Because of the heavy rain in the summer, Shen Wantang sent people to repair the dam in time, and the harvest near Hong County was also considerable.

Now, with sufficient troops and food supplies, it is a good time to counterattack.

"I have sent the plan back to the capital city in an emergency over a distance of 800 miles. I believe that the emperor's response will arrive in a few days." Dai Mengtao said.

Somehow, Shen Wantang was still a little nervous about this attack.

"Master Dai, are we really so anxious? Several of our secret agents in the mountain city have been eliminated one after another. I'm afraid there will be changes."

Shen Wantang retorted.

But what he got in return was Dai Mengtao's ruthless sneer: "Miss Shen, a winter is not just a few days. How do you know what the situation will be like this winter? During this period, the rebels will not counterattack? If you strike first, you will be defeated!"

After the words fell, Shen Wantang did not interrupt any more.

However, before he could receive the emperor's instructions on the next battle, the news of summoning Meng Tao back to the capital arrived first.
