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

"When I came, Lord Shen left."

The military doctor responded.

Cen Xiao rubbed his fingertips and nodded calmly: "Thank you for your hard work during this period."

At that time, Chen Kangjian was in his room.

"I know you won't give up on me."

Although he woke up, Chen Kangjian's face was still pale and his breath was particularly weak.

After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at the servants serving behind Shen Wantang.

Shen Wantang understood instantly, turned around and said quietly: "You guys go down first, I'll call you if I need you."

After the people left, Chen Kangjian stared at Shen Wantang closely, and after a moment he slowly spoke: "Miss Shen, if you spare my life, it will be useful. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

Chen Kangjian was very straightforward, so Shen Wantang didn't beat around the bush and just smiled.

"Mr. Chen, I will not execute all of your rebels. I can also secretly protect your life."

Shen Wantang spoke slowly, with an obscure light flashing in his eyes, "But what I want is that when I raise the flag in the future, you can help me with all your might."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Kangjian's eyes trembled - he had just woken up and heard such shocking news. For a moment, his head also felt a little painful.

"Miss Shen, the Shen family is a loyal and brave family. How can I believe what you say?"

Chen Kangjian raised his eyebrows and asked inquiringly.

Picking up the teacup beside him and taking a sip, Shen Wantang said slowly, "Mr. Chen, my Shen family is a loyal and brave family, so we only serve the chosen one. But is the emperor really the chosen one? Is the death of Crown Prince Duanxian really as it was said back then?"

As he finished speaking, Chen Kangjian's eyes were already filled with tears.

When Crown Prince Duanxian passed away, everyone believed that he would not live long. However, only a few of them who served him closely knew that the crown prince had clearly died of poisoning.

Not long after the crown prince's death, the late emperor passed away. Within just a few months, the world was in chaos.

Ji Xunchuan led his men to quell the rebellion and secure the throne.

The grievances of the common people can still be redressed, but what about the grievances of Prince Duanxian?

"Miss Shen, how did you know these things?"

Chen Kangjian frowned slightly and asked his last question.

Shen Wantang's eyes flickered, and her eyelashes drooped to cover up the barely detectable panic in her eyes: "Mr. Chen, you don't need to know how I know this. You just need to know that only I can clear the name of Prince Duanxian."

It is impossible to form cliques and factions just by talking.

Shen Wantang stood up slowly: "I have already arranged a place for your rebel army to go. They will be dispersed in the surrounding villages."

"As for those who are to be executed, they are all rebellious bandits from the surrounding areas." Shen Wantang spoke slowly.

"I will be leaving next month, you still have time to think about it." After leaving the last words, Shen Wantang turned and left.

This kind of thing cannot be rushed.

After coming out of Chen Kangjian's room, Shen Wantang breathed a sigh of relief.

At that time, his subordinates also hurried over: "Sir, there is a letter from the capital."

In the front hall, several generals gathered together. After reading the letters from the capital, they felt a headache.

"What does this mean? They want to execute the rebels and recruit soldiers? If so, there won't be many people left in Shancheng. When the time comes, the people of Rongguo will come back, and Shancheng will be handed over to them, right?"

A straightforward general at the side spoke up.

His complaint truly expressed the thoughts of everyone.

"Who on earth came up with this idea? When I return to Beijing, I will give him a good lecture!"

Everyone slowly raised their heads and looked at Cen Xiao standing beside them.

Cen Xiao coughed awkwardly and sat up straight: "It's my father."

Marquis of Zhenbei?

Marquis Zhenbei is now in the frontier, and is more than a hundred or eighty kilometers away from the mountain city. Why does he suddenly want to interfere in the affairs of the mountain city?

What's more, it is well known that the Marquis of Zhenbei has a bad relationship with the emperor. Now it has been brought to Ji Xunchuan, but Ji Xunchuan has instead thrown the mess to his son.

"General Cen Xiao, if you think about it carefully, this is also the family affair of your Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. I think you should handle this matter. We will not interfere anymore. If we accidentally make Zhenbei Marquis unhappy, we will have to take action!"

The remaining few people had already revealed their displeasure on their faces, and they left after leaving a few words.

People left one by one, leaving only Shen Wantang and Cen Xiao.

Cen Xiao frowned, he didn't understand why his father did this.

"Has the Marquis of Zhenbei encountered any difficulties?" Seeing Cen Xiao's worried look, Shen Wantang spoke slowly.

He shook his head. He had not received any letters from home during the months he had been fighting in the mountain city.

"The mountain city is an unstable factor now. Recruiting soldiers from the mountain city rashly does not seem like a solution that a resourceful person would come up with," Shen Wantang analyzed.

"If it weren't for the fact that the Marquis of Zhenbei was in trouble, then it would be that he was sincerely opposing the imperial court."

Since Ji Xunchuan ascended the throne, the attitude of the Zhenbei Marquisate has always been very ambiguous. It was only for the development of the Marquisate that Cen Xiao had to serve as an official in the court.

Now that things are like this, is it possible that he wants to abandon Cen Xiao as a chess piece and completely break with the court?

No, that wouldn't happen. Cen Xiao is the only son of the Cen family. Even if the Marquis of Zhenbei is old and confused, he will still be thinking about this only child.

Now that I think about it, there is only one possibility -

Everything was just Ji Xunchuan's trick.

This is in line with Ji Xunchuan's approach.

Looking at Cen Xiao beside him, Shen Wantang frowned.

He stood up suddenly and was about to go out.

Shen Wantang didn't ask anything, but just sighed - he didn't know how the Shen family was doing now.

Somehow the news of the conscription leaked out, and the next day, the entire mountain city was in a panic.

Under the protection of Chen Kangjian, the people of the mountain city had already lived a life of enjoyment all day long. If they were to be conscripted, they would naturally be unwilling to do so.

"Conscription? I don't want to be a soldier and work hard for the court. I don't even know what the court is like now. What if they sell me out?"

"That's right, I won't be a soldier!"

"No matter what, I'm going to pack my bags today and head south. At worst, I'll go to Rongguo to do some small business. That's better than dying!"

The city was in chaos, and everyone was clamoring to escape.

"Why did the news leak out?" Shen Wantang frowned and questioned his men beside him.

His subordinates couldn't explain it either. The entire army was on high alert and this kind of information was top secret.

"Forget it, I'll investigate it later." Shen Wantang shook his head helplessly, grabbed his cloak and walked out.

When he arrived at the courtyard, he jumped on his horse and galloped towards the city gate.

"Open the city gate! Let us out!"

In front of the city gate, people gathered together and shouted in indignation.

On top of the city gate, Cen Xiao’s face was filled with worry.
