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

That night.

Darkness enveloped the mountain city, with only a faint moonlight shining through.

From time to time, there were sounds of wild animals hunting in the forest, but after a moment, everything returned to silence.

Cen Xiao, who was unable to sleep, opened the window. The biting cold wind that blew into the room made him much more awake.

call out--

Under the moonlight, a black figure flashed away.

Cen Xiao frowned, grabbed his cloak and followed.

The black figure jumped on the roof of the house and finally landed at the northeast corner of the city wall.

At that time, there was a figure waiting for a long time.

Cen Xiao lay on the city wall, looking at the two people under the tower.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Only the sound of the wind echoed in his ears. Cen Xiao could hear the two people's voices clearly.

"What news did your father ask you to bring me?"

The black-clad figure spoke slowly, but Cen Xiao's eyes suddenly widened - was it Shen Wantang?

"There are mixed opinions in the court about you and Cen Xiao, but don't worry, Miss. The master said that he alone can handle the court."

Another male voice responded.

Shen Wantang breathed a sigh of relief.

"The master also asked me to ask Miss..." The man spoke again, "What are your plans for the rebels in the mountain city? Do you need the master's help?"

After the words fell, Shen Wantang was silent for a moment.

It seems that General Shen has already guessed what she was thinking.

The reason we send people here now is just to confirm it.

Shen Wantang lowered her eyes, and after a moment, she suddenly raised them. Under her eyelashes was an unprecedented majesty and unquestionableness.

"I want to stay with the rebel army. Chen Kangjian, I want to stay too."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind blew by, and Cen Xiao's eyes trembled on the roof.

"Miss, this is a road of no return."

The man seemed to have guessed what Shen Wantang was thinking. He was not surprised at all, but instead worried.

Point of no return…

Shen Wantang no longer had any other choice.

She didn't want to experience the ending of being a fish on the chopping board in her previous life again.

Now, your destiny is in your own hands.

She had no choice but to resist.

Another gust of cold wind blew by, her face was tense, but her dark eyes had already stirred up a storm.

After getting Shen Wantang's response, the man left quietly and disappeared into the darkness.

Seeing this, Cen Xiao also disappeared silently.

Walking in the mountain city, the cold wind swept across the entire city, mercilessly blowing on Shen Wantang's face.

But she didn't feel any cold.

Now, Hai Qingnan has gone to the border to drive away the Rongguo army, and he cannot come back for three or two months. However, Dai Ying in the city is a trouble.

Shen Wantang's steps became heavy.

The Minister of War has been eyeing the Shen family's military power covetously. If he gets a hold of the Shen family here, I'm afraid they will have a hard time in the future.

However, there is still a lack of a legitimate reason to send Dai Ying away.

After returning to Chen's house, Shen Wantang fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

When Shen Wantang woke up, it was already bright day.

She suddenly stood up, put on her clothes and hurried to the front hall.

Maybe it was because of the biting cold wind last night that my head aches slightly today.

"Miss Shen, what are you doing..." Not far away, the deputy general saw Shen Wantang running hurriedly, caught up with her and was about to ask something, but before he could finish his sentence, Shen Wantang left his side.

Above the front hall.

"Cen Xiao, what rights do you have to transfer me away from Shancheng?"

There was a raging fire in Dai Ying's eyes. He stood up and questioned Cen Xiao who was sitting in the upper seat.

Cen Xiao raised his eyes slowly and said leisurely: "I know you want military merit. Obviously, you have no chance of getting military merit on the battlefield. If you want other merits, you have to start from other places."

"Luotianzhuang and Fenghuang Village need to be properly managed, so I'll leave it to you."

But after the words fell, Dai Ying felt even more dissatisfied: "Cen Xiao, you are abusing your power! You know that I am not good at governing, but you still want to send me, what is your intention!"

"The emperor has granted me the power to command the army. Dai Ying, are you questioning the emperor when you question me?"

Cen Xiao's dark eyes turned cold in an instant, and he raised his eyes faintly.

Dai Ying's arrogance dropped instantly. After all, he was afraid of Cen Xiao.

After all, as someone of the same age as him, Cen Xiao had already killed countless enemies on the battlefield.

The label of killing people without mercy and being inhumane has been deeply engraved in Cen Xiao's bones.

Dai Ying didn't say anything else. He could only lower his eyelashes and consider himself unlucky.

"Time is running out, we'll set off today."

Cen Xiao continued to speak.

"We're leaving today!?"

Dai Ying's eyes trembled and he asked in disbelief.

Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows, and his sinister eyes fell on Dai Ying again. He instantly held back his subsequent words.

When Shen Wantang just arrived at the front hall, he saw Dai Ying coming out of the front hall dejectedly, with a reluctant look on his face and muttering to himself.

"Miss Shen."

Before she could open her mouth to ask Dai Ying what happened, Cen Xiao's voice came from the front hall.

She walked slowly into the front hall.

"We have sent people to invite the retainers in Chen Kangjian's mansion, and also sent the most skilled military doctor to treat Chen Kangjian. I believe his condition will stabilize in a few days."

Cen Xiao spoke slowly and calmly: "We will also send people to the villages near the mountain city to settle them. We will set off at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month and will be able to return to the court to report on our work around New Year's Eve."

Listening to what Cen Xiao reported, Shen Wantang felt uneasy.

"General Cen, now that everything has been settled, is there anything else I need to do?"

Shen Wantang sat down calmly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

There was a faint and obscure light flickering in Cen Xiao's eyes.

"The rebels will naturally still need Miss Shen to deal with them."

After he finished speaking, Shen Wantang's hand paused and his eyes trembled.

She looked slightly startled, then smiled calmly: "General Cen, you are embarrassing me. I am just a small inspector. How can I deal with the affairs of the rebel army?"

Cen Xiao raised his thin lips slightly, leaned to one side, and stared at Shen Wantang with interest.

She raised her eyes and, like a young animal, ran headfirst into the trap that Cen Xiao had prepared long ago, struggling feebly.

"But I want Miss Shen to handle it."

Cen Xiao supported his head with one hand, leaning sideways in the chair, with an unexplainable calculation hidden in his evil eyes.

Shen Wantang slowly put down the teacup in his hand and smiled calmly: "In that case, thank you General Cen for your trust."

After he finished speaking, Cen Xiao became even more curious about the girl in front of him.

"General!"

The men outside the door came in hurriedly: "Chen Kangjian, I'm afraid Chen Kangjian is not going to make it..."

Shen Wantang suddenly stood up and ran out without thinking.

Cen Xiao followed closely behind, grabbed the men beside him and asked, "Isn't he the best military doctor in the army? Why is this happening?"

"I don't know either..."
