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

"How could she?"

The red-robed general was shocked.

Behind Shen Wantang was the rumbling sound of horse hooves. The army was approaching, and the soldiers of Rong State instantly panicked.

The soldiers of Rong State were like showing off their skills in front of the victorious army.

The situation of the battle that had lasted for three hours was reversed in an instant.

After rescuing Chen Kangjian, Shen Wantang threw himself into the battle.

After only five rounds of fighting with the man in blue robe, he seriously injured the other party.

"retreat!"

The red-robed general felt uneasy and raised the sword high in his hand. With a command, all the soldiers of Rong State retreated.

Shen Wantang frowned, turned around and looked at Hai Qingnan who was not far behind him: "I'll leave the rest to you!"

Don’t waste the free military merit.

Hai Qingnan jumped onto his horse, shouldered his spear and said righteously: "All soldiers, listen to my orders, follow me and drive away the enemy!"

The horses were galloping, Hai Qingnan was full of fighting spirit, and the roars of the soldiers fighting behind him echoed in the valley.

Just as Cen Xiao was about to leave, he was grabbed by Shen Wantang.

"Leave the task of chasing the enemy to Hai Qingnan. The mountain city still needs us." Shen Wantang frowned slightly, with a different emotion flashing in his eyes.

On the way back to the mountain city, Chen Kangjian had already fallen into a coma.

The doctor they brought could only stop the bleeding from his wounds. If they wanted to treat the wounds further, they would have to go back to the city.

"What about the Rongguo soldiers?"

Cen Xiao's horse paced closer to Shen Wantang, and he asked softly.

Shen Wantang sighed: "I only got a little bit of information from Zhang Shan, I really don't know anything else."

"But judging from the number of Rongguo soldiers today, I'm afraid the southwestern border is already in danger. But why can't the court receive military reports?"

Shen Wantang frowned and looked at Cen Xiao beside him.

There are only two situations that lead to this result:

The officials in the border cities have surrendered, or perhaps the Rong State has massacred all the people in the border cities.

"Someone is coming."

Cen Xiao's heart tightened and he whispered.

The men behind him hurried forward.

"Go tell Hai Qingnan to drive the Rongguo soldiers out of our country. In the meantime, conduct a thorough investigation of the border to find out who let these desperate criminals in."

Cen Xiao spoke slowly.

But his subordinates looked embarrassed: "General, the matter of thoroughly investigating military intelligence has always been decided by the Minister of War. I'm afraid it's against the rules for us to do this privately..."

"No problem. Your Majesty has granted me the power to act at my own discretion. If anyone in the court dares to use this as a threat, I will bear the consequences alone."

Shen Wantang said without hesitation.

Compared with comforting the people living on the border, what do these formalities matter?

With Shen Wantang's order, his subordinates immediately responded: "Yes!"

The sun sets and the sky turns a faint blue.

The doctor took Chen Kangjian back to the city first, while Shen Wantang and Cen Xiao led the remaining soldiers to check the area around the mountain city again.

Peace returned to the mountains and forests.

"Are you ok?"

The fierceness in Cen Xiao's eyes faded away, but a barely detectable emotion flowed in his dark eyes.

When Shen Wantang turned around, he lowered his eyes and covered them slightly.

"Fortunately."

"You should have a good rest tonight. I will arrange the execution of the rebels in the mountain city tomorrow."

Cen Xiao said clumsily to comfort people -

He really didn't understand how to comfort people.

Shen Wantang frowned slightly and turned around suddenly: "Perhaps there is a better way than executing them?"

After he finished speaking, Cen Xiao frowned.

An unrealistic idea slowly arose in my mind.

He stared into Shen Wantang's eyes, and the thought that just flashed through his mind was instantly rejected by himself -

How is it possible? The Shen family has served the emperor well and would never do such a thing to deceive the emperor.

"Then what do you want to do?" Cen Xiao frowned and looked at the girl in front of him with sad eyes.

The girl stammered but didn't say anything.

When it got dark, everyone returned to the mountain city.

The people hid in their homes and dared not go out.

The house facing the street had a small crack open, allowing one to peek into the street scene.

After the soldiers passed by, he immediately closed the window.

The mountain city, which is usually brightly lit, is now pitch black, and the usual bustling sounds have disappeared.

In Chen's house, Dai Ying felt a headache when he saw the documents on the desk.

I thought that after joining the army I wouldn't have to deal with paperwork all day, but I didn't expect that I would end up with this.

"When will Shen Wantang come back?"

He threw the document in his hand aside, and his impatient voice echoed in the front hall.

"What do you want me to do?"

As soon as the words fell, a faint female voice came in.

Dai Ying, who was lying on the table with a worried look on his face, sat up straight in an instant and pretended to cough lightly: "Ahem."

The lights in the front hall were dim, with only two candles flickering on the table.

Cen Xiao followed the girl, still thinking about what Shen Wantang said when he came back.

"Where are all the retainers of Chen Kangjian placed?"

Shen Wantang asked.

Dai Ying hesitated, lowered his head deeply, and stammered: "Ah, those retainers, retainers..."

Shen Wantang raised his eyes, glanced at Dai Ying, and then pulled him aside.

"The retainers in Chen Kangjian's mansion manage many things in the mountain city, from big things like business to small things like daily routines." Shen Wantang explained.

After inquiring from many sources during the past few days in the Chen residence, I have already memorized these things.

Looking at the old files on the table, Shen Wantang raised his eyes and cast a resentful look on Dai Ying: "Why did you put these useless things here? The people in the city were not appeased, and the situation of the uprising army in the mountain city was not inquired. Did you spend the rest of the afternoon looking at these things?"

The voice of harsh rebuke echoed in the front hall. Dai Ying slowly lowered his guilty eyes, and slowly retracted his fingertips that had been circling around.

Shen Wantang was helpless and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows.

The front hall fell into silence. Dai Ying wanted to ask for help, but when he raised his head, he saw Cen Xiao who was watching the fun. The thought of asking for help disappeared instantly.

"That's all."

After a moment, Shen Wantang waved his hands helplessly.

"It's late at night, take a rest first. It won't be too late to deal with the remaining matters tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, Shen Wantang stood up, glanced at Dai Ying who was feeling guilty beside him, and then left the front hall without looking back.

Cen Xiao, who was leaning on the chair, slowly stood up and laughed teasingly.

"why are you laughing!"

In order to save face, Dai Ying cleared his throat and frowned.

Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows, picked up the sword on the table and placed it on his waist: "I laugh, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son will dig holes."

After leaving behind some unclear words, Cen Xiao sneered and left, leaving behind a string of laughter.
