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

The deputy general looked at the map with a frown.

The emperor ordered a thorough elimination of the remnants of the rebels, which naturally included the rebels in the mountains.

But if we were to divert our energy to deal with the rebels in the mountains now, it would probably delay our progress in returning to the capital.

The torches flickered, burning people's faces in the dark night.

"Sir, why don't I take some troops and stay here to wipe out all the rebels in these mountains? Then I will go to the mountain city to look for you."

The deputy general spoke slowly, his eyes already very determined.

"No." Before Cen Xiao could speak, Shen Wantang spoke first, "It's a bit risky."

"We don't know how many rebel troops there are in the mountains. It would be dangerous if you lead the troops alone." Shen Wantang spoke slowly.

"That's right. These rebels value brotherhood the most. If you lead the army to attack a hilltop, who knows, the people on the remaining hilltops might come to help. We are not familiar with the terrain, and by then, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out!"

Dai Ying also echoed.

The discussion was stuck in a cycle again, with no way out.

Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in Shen Wantang's eyes - loyalty.

"Let's leave these hills alone for now and go to the mountain city first." She spoke softly, already having a plan in mind.

Cen Xiao raised his eyes, not knowing if it was the light of the fire, but his eyes lit up for a moment, and then he lowered his eyelashes, but the corners of his mouth could not help but rise a little.

The deputy general and Dai Ying were a little confused.

"What do you mean?" Dai Ying asked bluntly.

"General Dai just said that the most important thing for the rebels is loyalty. The leader was able to cross mountains and ridges from Shancheng to Hongxian to avenge his brothers. It can be seen that what you said is of course right."

"This is what they are most proud of, so let us make this their fatal blow."

As soon as the words fell, the gentle look in his eyes suddenly darkened.

They spent the night in peace, and the next morning they reorganized their troops and continued their journey towards the mountain city.

Hong County was not too close to the mountain city, but it was not too far either. If one rode at full speed, it would only take two days to reach the city. However, the large army had to move forward much more slowly, so it took five full days. Only when one stood on the top of the mountain could one barely see the direction of the mountain city.

Fifty miles away from the mountain city, Shen Wantang found a flat place between two mountains and set up camp.

As the sky gradually darkened, Cen Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief after explaining everything to the generals.

I stood up slowly, feeling like something was missing.

He walked out of the tent and looked around.

The deputy general hurried forward and said, "Prince."

"Where is Shen Wantang?" Cen Xiao frowned and asked in a low voice.

The deputy general looked around and thought: "I didn't see Miss Shen. I stayed in the training ground for the rest of the afternoon. Miss Shen might be in a tent."

Cen Xiao's heart tightened, and he turned around and walked towards the stable without looking back.

Cen Xiao had a clear idea of ​​how many war horses there were, and he took a quick look - as expected, this girl had sneaked out again, just like she did in Qingshui Town.

Cen Xiao shook his head helplessly, led his horse out, jumped up, and disappeared silently into the mountains.

The sun was setting in the west. We walked along an official road and were about to reach the mountain city, but there was no sign of Shen Wantang.

Cen Xiao suddenly tightened the reins and let the horse pace on the official road.

There is only one official road from the camp to the mountain city. Even if there are other small roads beside it, it is too risky. Shen Wantang would not do that.

Not far behind me, an ox cart was slowly approaching. The cart made a creaking sound, and it must have been quite old.

I don’t know if the farm lady saw Shen Wantang.

Cen Xiao's Adam's apple moved, and he called the horse softly, then headed towards the ox cart.

"Madam, I'm sorry to bother you, but have you seen a girl riding a horse?" Cen Xiao stepped forward and stopped in front of the ox cart.

The peasant woman had her face covered, but her eyes looked particularly familiar.

Cen Xiao was stunned and stared at the woman closely.

The lady raised her eyebrows, cleared her throat, and then said, "I didn't see it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cen Xiao's eyes flashed.

After responding to Cen Xiao, the lady prepared to continue on her journey.

But Cen Xiao somersaulted over and stood right in front of her, ready to take off her veil.

Unexpectedly, the lady also knew some martial arts skills. She dodged Cen Xiao's hand with a flash and stretched out her hand to wrestle with Cen Xiao.

Cen Xiao made a feint to the east and attacked in the west. He stretched out his hand to take off the wooden hairpin on the peasant woman's head, but his wrist turned and the veil fell gently.

Under the veil is the person Cen Xiao is looking for.

"This lady really has great skills." Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows, rubbed the veil in his hands, and smiled indifferently.

Shen Wantang's eyes darkened: "What are you doing here?"

"This time it's not a handsome young man, but a farm lady."

Cen Xiao did not rush to respond to Shen Wantang's question. Instead, he looked up and down at her attire - a coarse linen dress with a floral cloth wrapped around her head. Her face was no longer as fair as before, but had become a little dark.

"If you want to go to the mountain city with me, then change your clothes and get on the ox cart. If you don't want to, then return my veil to me."

Shen Wantang was not discouraged. He sat down and spoke slowly.

Cen Xiao played with the veil in his hand and slowly moved forward: "If I put on this dress, who am I to you?"

His face slowly moved forward, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised in a look of watching a show.

Shen Wantang felt discouraged and raised his eyes with a look of blame on his face.

Seeing this, Cen Xiao couldn't help but laugh, and then he sat on the ox cart and rummaged through the clothes under the straw at the back.

Not far away, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came over, Shen Wantang's brows furrowed and his heart tightened.

Even though Cen Xiao was very disgusted, he could only put the clothes on hastily.

Then he turned around and whistled at his horse.

"Your horse." Shen Wantang's heart tightened.

Cen Xiao naturally took the rope from Shen Wantang, his face calm and composed: "An old horse knows the way. My horse is very smart. No matter where he is, he can return to the tent safely."

The old ox walked slowly in front, and Shen Wantang lifted up her veil.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. Shen Wantang hurriedly wiped the mud off the cart behind him and smeared it on Cen Xiao's face.

"What are you doing!"

Cen Xiao cried out in surprise, turned around and looked at Shen Wantang with resentment in his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of eight or nine people on horseback appeared behind him.

"stop!"

The leading man spoke in a deep voice, and the horse slowly stopped in front of the two men's ox cart.

The man glanced suspiciously at Shen Wantang and Cen Xiao, frowning as he asked, "What do you two do?"
