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

After the loud noise, all the court officials knelt down, not daring to raise their heads, holding their breath.

"We suffered a disastrous defeat at the Shancheng Station!"

Anger swirled between Ji Xunchuan's brows.

as predicted.

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to speak.

"Dai Qing!" Ji Xunchuan's eyes fell on Dai Mengtao who was standing beside him. "I remember that you went to Hong County specially and made a battle plan for the army. Why did you suddenly do this?"

Dai Mengtao stepped forward and knelt in front of Ji Xunchuan.

"Your Majesty, I did formulate a battle plan based on the situation of the army. If we had fought according to my plan, we would have won in one fell swoop. As for why we were defeated, why don't you ask the son of Zhenbei Marquis and General Shen?"

He really had a clever tongue, and he directed his criticism at the two other families without making any expression.

Although they are two families, the Marquis of Zhenbei is not in the court, so the pressure can only be borne by General Shen alone.

General Shen came forward slowly, frowning, "Your Majesty, I know nothing about Lord Dai's battle plan. I only know that we need to be flexible on the battlefield. My daughter came here to do something under the order of Your Majesty, but Lord Dai thinks that I am causing trouble. I wonder if Lord Dai wants to slander me, or if he wants to use me to express his dissatisfaction with Your Majesty!"

As the words fell, everyone's eyes trembled.

I'm afraid that only General Shen, who has made great military achievements, would openly quarrel in the court.

Dai Mengtao was speechless. He knelt aside and stammered for a long time without uttering a word.

General Shen also stood up, his eyes were extremely firm: "Your Majesty, the situation in Shancheng is not good, I volunteer to do my part to help wipe out the rebels!"

After he finished speaking, General Shen bowed deeply.

At that time, in the court, there was not only an old veteran who was concerned about the country's affairs, but also a father who was concerned about the safety of his daughter!

Ji Xunchuan frowned and remained silent for a long time.

"Shen Qing, the nearby garrisons will go to rescue you. If you go to the mountain city, I'm afraid they will have won the battle by the time you get there!"

After a long time, Ji Xunchuan slowly spoke and rejected General Shen's request.

He understood that as a minister, especially an important minister with military power, his every move was monitored by people in the court.

Ji Xunchuan glanced over, which was both a warning and an advice.

General Shen said nothing more and retreated.

At that time, the mountain city.

During the day, Shen Wantang just stayed in the room, and when he had nothing to do, he asked the servants to bring him some books to read.

"Brother, do you really want to support this woman?" Zhang Shan couldn't bear it anymore. He kicked open Chen Kangjian's door and hurried over to confront him face to face.

Chen Kangjian was writing slowly and steadily, still writing something in his hand.

"What's wrong? Any questions?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shan was completely furious. He snatched the brush from Chen Kangjian's hand and twisted his face into a frown: "Chen Kangjian, I think you have lost your mind because of lust! Leaving a woman like that in the city will sooner or later become a disaster."

Chen Kangjian then raised his eyes, a smile gradually emerged in his eyes: "You listened to me and learned something. Do you know what it means to be blinded by lust?"

These two people are truly the city gate tower and the hips and elbows.

Zhang Shan frowned and held the brush in his hand. With just a little force, the brush broke into two pieces.

Chen Kangjian smiled calmly and stood up slowly: "Don't worry, I'm not as bad as you think. I kept Shen Wantang for a reason."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

Zhang Shan continued to ask, his eyes becoming even more fierce: "Aren't we brothers? Shouldn't brothers keep everything to themselves?"

After the words fell, Chen Kangjian's eyes darkened, and after a closer look, there was a hint of sarcasm: "Brother? Zhang Shan, ask yourself, do you really regard me as your big brother?"

After hearing these words, Zhang Shan stood there in a daze, and the pen in his hand almost fell.

"From now on, you don't have to ask too much about Shen Wantang's affairs." Chen Kangjian stood up, left a cold sentence, and then turned and left.

Everyone in the mountain city knew about Zhang Shan's violent temper, but considering his talent in the government, they were somewhat tolerant of him and no one bothered with him too much.

This was especially true for Chen Kangjian, who had never been so cold towards Zhang Shan.

Looking at Chen Kangjian's resolute back, the beast in Zhang Shan's eyes gradually rose. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, his bones creaking. "Chen Kangjian, do you really think that I, Zhang Shan, am afraid of you?"

"We'll see!"

At that time, the backyard.

Next to the fish pond in the middle, Shen Wantang grabbed a handful of fish food and scattered it around.

The fishes scrambled for food, causing ripples in the pond.

There was a sound of brisk footsteps coming from the side. Shen Wantang turned around and saw Chen Kangjian with a frown on his face.

"Mr. Chen, I was just about to look for you." Shen Wantang put the fish food aside and walked towards him.

The two went to the pavilion nearby.

"Ms. Shen, have you decided to stay in my mountain city?" Chen Kangjian raised his eyebrows and asked inquiringly.

Shen Wantang smiled gently, picked up the teacup, and took a sip calmly: "A few days ago, I drove an ox cart to the mountain city to find out the news of the mountain city."

After he finished speaking, Chen Kangjian's eyes shook - what was going on?

"However, when I was outside the city, I ran into General Zhang Shan, who took my ox cart away without explanation. If I had bought it, it would be fine, but I borrowed it from a woman in Fenghuang County. If I don't return it, it's really unreasonable, so I have no choice but to ask for help from Mr. Chen."

Shen Wantang spoke helplessly.

Chen Kangjian was such a smart man that he immediately understood the deep meaning behind it.

This is not about asking for the return of the ox cart, it is clearly about wanting Zhang Shan to be punished.

After looking at Chen Kangjian for a long time without saying anything, Shen Wantang continued, "My warhorse is still at my wife's house. If Mr. Chen doesn't believe it, go and take a look for yourself."

The haze in Chen Kangjian's eyes finally dissipated: "I'll give the order right away."

"Miss Shen, have you considered what I told you before?"

Chen Kangjian changed the subject and brought the topic back to Shen Wantang.

The sky was clear just now, but suddenly, it started to drizzle.

The next autumn rain will bring colder weather.

Shen Wantang turned his head and looked at the ripples caused by the rain falling on the pond. He smiled calmly: "Mr. Chen, would you use someone who betrayed his former master?"

After saying this, Shen Wantang fixed her sharp gaze on Chen Kangjian.

Chen Kangjian hesitated.

Since ancient times, people who are treacherous will never have a good ending, and he will definitely not employ people who are treacherous.

But these words, coming out of Shen Wantang's mouth, sounded like a test.
