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

Although the eyes of the two looked gentle, there was no lack of swords and sabers in them.

As the rain fell heavier, the sound grew louder.

"The brothers at the training ground are still waiting for me."

Chen Kangjian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly.

Looking at his departing back, Shen Wantang curled her lips——

They were not the brothers from the training ground at all; it was clearly him alone who couldn't handle it.

The maid who was waiting not far away came forward slowly, bowed and said, "Miss, it's raining, go back to the house."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew over, carrying raindrops and falling into the pavilion.

Shen Wantang raised her eyebrows and picked up the teacup beside her: "This is a beautiful autumn scenery. If we go back to the room, wouldn't it be a waste of this beautiful scenery?"

At that time, in the tent.

"According to the information obtained by the scouts, this side, this side, and this side are the most critical places where Chen Kangjian has deployed his defenses."

In front of the map, Hai Qingnan circled the places he had just mentioned.

Cen Xiao spotted the familiar terrain at a glance, and pointed with his bony fingers: "Here, too."

Hai Qingnan frowned slightly and looked aside.

"I went there with Shen Wantang, and happened to see Zhang Shan and his men deploying the mechanism."

Whenever Shen Wantang is mentioned, Cen Xiao is always in a bad mood.

"The general offensive will be launched in ten days. We will start deploying our troops today and proceed according to what we have agreed upon before."

Cen Xiao let out a long sigh and spoke.

After arranging things, Cen Xiao returned to the tent with a gloomy face.

"Cen Xiao!"

Hai Qingnan followed closely behind, frowning, looking furious: "I see you have lost your mind since returning to the capital! Now you are so careless for a woman!"

Cen Xiao had no intention of arguing with his old friend, but when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly raised his eyes, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Hai Qingnan, I consider you my best friend. I have no problem with what you say about me, but why do you say that about Shen Wantang?" Cen Xiao stood up, his brows furrowed, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

"She had a part in commanding the army, she had a part in investigating the enemy situation in the mountain city, and she had an even greater part in the battle of Hong County. At the last critical moment, she sacrificed herself to save me, but she was captured by Chen Kangjian! Is this what you call a woman?"

Cen Xiao became more and more agitated, and his vision began to blur.

"A woman who has fought in the battlefield and has military merits, do you really look down on her so much, Hai Qingnan?"

After a series of questions, Hai Qingnan was suddenly speechless.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke: "There are always sacrifices on the battlefield. Shen Wantang sacrificed himself for the country, which is also a merit! Are you going to use the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to exchange for one Shen Wantang? "

After he finished speaking, Cen Xiao sneered, turned around and sat down.

Looking left and right, the Hai Qingnan in front of me doesn't look like the high-spirited Hai Qingnan of his childhood.

"Hai Qingnan, let me tell you, I, Cen Xiao, am one of the best in the imperial court in terms of deploying troops. Moreover, we have discussed our deployment for ten days. We will definitely win this battle."

Cen Xiao's bony fingers tapped the tabletop regularly. He raised his eyes and continued, "I'm not using the lives of the soldiers to exchange for Shen Wantang's life. I'm saving everyone's lives."

"The Emperor has issued an order that we must return to the capital before New Year's Eve. It will take time to attack the mountain city, and it will also take time to clear the area around the mountain city. Just look at the almanac and see what year it is now!"

In order to control his emotions, Cen Xiao could only roar in a low voice.

"You and I both know exactly what kind of person Ji Xunchuan is."

As soon as the words were spoken, the tent fell into silence.

Hai Qingnan had nothing to say and lowered his eyes in disappointment.

Cen Xiao had a headache and didn't have time to argue with him about those useless things.

He waved his hand, then gently closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows with his fingertips to relieve his anxiety.

"Cen Xiao, you know in your heart how much of what you said to me today is true and how much is false, but I must remind you that the Shen family has the merit of following the dragon. No matter how much you like her, there is still a gap between you and her."

Hai Qingnan left a few words and turned to leave the tent.

Yes, accepting her means that Cen Xiao accepts Ji Xunchuan’s surveillance.

He didn't want that.

The current prosperity of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is the result of the accumulation of generations of the Cen family. If Ji Xunchuan were to target them, I'm afraid that the ancestral foundation would be completely destroyed.

only……

Since when, Cen Xiao's heart unconsciously leaned towards Shen Wantang.

He didn't know how to explain this feeling.

Cen Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the empty tent, a feeling of melancholy surged into his heart.

The camp was prepared intensively, and the soldiers set out quietly at night.

Late at night, Cen Xiao was lost in thought as he stared at the software left by Shen Wantang.

Shen Wantang's face appeared in front of him uncomfortably.

But then, his father's stern rebuke echoed in his ears: "Cen Xiao, remember, the foundation of the Cen family cannot be destroyed in the hands of others, even if you are the emperor!"

He closed his eyes tightly, forcing himself not to think about these things.

After several days of intensive preparations, the day of war is getting closer and closer.

"Miss Shaoyao, this book of mine is really old. Could you help me buy a new one?" Shen Wantang handed the book, which was almost rotten, to the maid assigned to her by Chen Kangjian.

Shaoyao came forward, took a look at the book, and smiled calmly: "Miss Shen, you don't have to buy a new one. I know this bookstore. The owner said that you can exchange it for a new book for free. Wait, I will go and exchange it."

Holding the book, Shaoyao went to the bookstore.

It was almost nightfall when Cen Xiao dragged his tired body back from the training ground.

The deputy general hurried forward, frowning and saying, "Prince! Miss Shen, there is news about Miss Shen!"

As the words fell, those lifeless eyes suddenly lit up.

After receiving the secret letter handed over by the deputy general, Cen Xiao's nerves, which had been tense for many days, finally relaxed.

"Tell me, how did Miss Shen know about our secret agent?" The deputy general followed Cen Xiao and kept muttering, "Could it be that she has been eyeing us for a long time, so she also knows about our secret agent?"

“Then those in our capital city, aren’t they also…” The deputy general became anxious and his voice became a little louder.

Cen Xiao stopped and suddenly punched the deputy general: "Don't talk nonsense and disturb the morale of the army."

"A lot of wooden stakes were broken during training in the training ground today. If you are free, go and fix them." Glancing at the deputy general beside him, Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with a sarcastic smile.

"General, you! How could you do this!"
