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

Three days later, late at night, Shen Wantang went to the appointment as agreed, and the location was a private room in a tavern in the south of the city. This was considered a prosperous area in the capital, and even late at night there were still people coming to drink. However, compared to other restaurants around, the door of this tavern was simple and low-key, and it seemed that there were not many people coming and going.

She changed into an inconspicuous outfit and found the door of the private room mentioned in the letter. There was no candle lit inside, and all she could see from outside was a dark hole. Shen Wantang frowned and pushed the door open and walked in.

The door closed silently behind her. Before she could see what was inside, she saw a man flying towards her.

Someone is attacking!

A cold light flashed in Shen Wantang's eyes, and he swiftly drew out a sword from his side and attacked.

Her kung fu was all taught by General Shen, and was all the experience accumulated from killing enemies on the battlefield. Therefore, she was extremely ferocious and her every move was a killing move.

The other party was obviously cautious, but Shen Wantang did not intend to show mercy.

She swung the silver blade in her hand, and with a clean sweep of her leg, she tripped the man to the ground.

The next second, the sharp sword blade was directly pressed against the opponent's neck.

Shen Wantang was just about to make a move when moonlight shone through the window lattice, allowing Shen Wantang to see the other person's face clearly.

It was a very beautiful face, with delicate features, fair skin, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and a red teardrop mole at the end of the eye, which unexpectedly added a bit of enchantment.

Just from the facial features, it is obvious that the other person is a man.

She frowned, but the sword in her hand did not fall, but remained close to her flesh.

Lian Zhao originally just wanted to test Shen Wantang's skills, but he almost lost his life. He lay on the ground, his heart beating like a drum, and he managed to force a smile on his pretty face that looked like a boy.

"Miss Shen, I am Lian Zhao, the twelfth prince of Rong State. I am sorry for intruding on you just now."

Shen Wantang stared down at the other person. She had just recognized Lian Zhao's identity, otherwise her sword would have taken his head long ago.

The girl chuckled softly, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

"The twelfth prince is in a good mood and asked me to come here in the middle of the night. Just to get a beating?"

Lian Zhao was lying on the ground. Although his breathing was still a little uneven, his face was calm: "I just wanted to see how Miss Shen was different from other women. Now that I see her, she is really unique."

After he finished speaking, he smiled slightly, and the scarlet teardrop mole at the end of his eye drew a touch of charm: "Miss Shen, why don't you cooperate with me? You help me survive here, and I will help you reach the pinnacle of power."

Shen Wantang did not respond. She slowly put away her knife and stood up, saying calmly, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell His Majesty about this?"

Lian Zhao sat up, his peach blossom eyes smiling: "No one has come to arrest me until now, which means Miss Shen has made her choice."

Shen Wantang lowered his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "You are a smart person, I can protect you."

"But on the other hand, I want to know who in the court is colluding with Rongguo."

In his previous life, Ji Xunchuan used this to slander the Marquis of Zhenbei for treason.

In this life, she must take these things into her own hands in advance.

Lian Zhao was stunned.

Without waiting for him to speak, Shen Wantang said softly: "Don't try to fool me. I have a rough idea of ​​the three bases of your Rong State in the north of the city, the two bases in the south of the city, and the bases in the subordinate states. As for who is colluding with you, I can find out by myself."

"It's just that some things are too laborious to do by myself. I think the twelfth prince won't let me down, right?"

Lian Zhao opened his eyes wide in shock.

He didn't expect that the woman in front of him knew so much. After thinking for a moment, Lian Zhao sighed softly.

"I can tell you, but there are some things I need to verify, so give me a few days."

Shen Wantang had no objection: "Okay, since the cooperation has been reached, I will leave first."

The longer she stayed outside, the less safe it felt. She had to go back quickly.

Lian Zhao looked at her back as she turned to leave, and suddenly remembered something. He spoke slowly: "Come to think of it, I came here this time to find a woman to be the prince's consort. If Miss Shen is not married, why not consider it..."

Before he finished speaking, the blade was once again placed on his neck. Lian Zhao swallowed and immediately changed his words: "...consider helping me find a candidate."

Shen Wantang snorted coldly, put away his knife and walked out. Lian Zhao saw this and quickly said, "Wait a minute, Miss Shen. In order to show our sincerity, I specially prepared a gift for you."

After saying that, he pointed to the next door.

Shen Wantang was a little confused, but did not ask any more questions. Instead, he pushed open the door of the next room. When he saw the scene inside clearly, Shen Wantang's pupils suddenly shrank.

Captain Zhou in the military camp was lying on the table, looking drunk. The man next to him was the Minister of Revenue, who was also Ji Xunchuan's confidant.

Both of them were quite drunk and were still mumbling about sworn brotherhood.

Shen Wantang stood at the door and clenched her fingers tightly.

She was trapped in the palace in her previous life, and she only knew that after her entire family was executed, Lieutenant General Lin took over her father's position.

She originally thought that Ji Xunchuan had only placed a hidden chess piece, but she didn't expect that the military camp had already been leaked like a sieve!

She knew what the Minister of Revenue was thinking when he became sworn brothers with a colonel.

Shen Wantang closed her eyes and quietly walked out. Just at this moment, Lian Zhao also came out of the private room next door. The two did not talk to each other, but passed by each other as if they did not know each other.

It was only when Lian Zhao passed by her that Shen Wantang whispered softly, "Thank you."

She accepted this favor.

Lian Zhao smiled slightly and left without looking back.

Shen Wantang did not go out immediately, but at a different time, he sneaked back from the back door of the tavern in a carriage that had been prepared long ago.

She returned to the general's mansion quietly, and before she had time to figure out how to tell her father, she suddenly heard a shallow breathing coming from the dark room.

Shen Wantang's pupils tightened and he subconsciously drew his sword.

"Who is there!"

The moonlight shone through the sword blade, illuminating the scene inside the house. When Shen Wantang saw who was in the house, his face suddenly turned cold.

"Prince Cen, breaking into a woman's bedroom late at night, is this your manners and upbringing?"

Cen Xiao slowly walked out of the shadows, his fairy-like handsome face now shone with moonlight. He looked at Shen Wantang, without replying, but with a firm tone.

"Did you go to see Lian Zhao?"

Shen Wantang frowned.

Cen Xiao didn't need her answer, but continued: "I worked hard and finally caught the person who shot the arrow. Although he is a stubborn man, I can at least get some information."
