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

Shen Wantang picked up one at random, picked up a branch from his side and was about to insert it into the fish's body.

I tried many times but still failed.

Cen Xiao, who was watching from the side, sneered and shook his head helplessly.

Taking out the dagger, Cen Xiao took the branch from Shen Wantang, cut a few times on the branch, and then took the fish over.

"It turns out that Lord Shen is not omnipotent."

While gutting the fish, Cen Xiao did not forget to make a teasing remark.

Shen Wantang raised her eyes, and although there was some dissatisfaction in her eyes, she didn't say anything.

Cen Xiao cut open the fish body and handled it with ease.

But there seemed to be something else mixed in the internal organs.

Cen Xiao spread out his palm, and a small thing wrapped in oil paper lay on it.

Shen Wantang frowned slightly and opened the oil paper - there was a note inside.

"The fifth prince has registered, and his great destiny is approaching!"

A line of words appeared prominently on the note.

After just a glance, Shen Wantang hurriedly closed the note.

Alarm bells rang in her heart, and she slowly raised her eyes, only to meet Cen Xiao's cold gaze.

This matter is not that simple.

"General."

Before the two of them could say anything, their men came forward one after another and spread out their palms, revealing the same note.

Everyone was silent and looked at each other.

Why did the river water that was frozen in the past not freeze this year?

The fish in the river are so plump and plump, even during the flood season.

Why are there words like "great success is approaching" hidden in the belly of a fish?

All of this is too weird.

Shen Wantang frowned, crumpled the note in his hand, and threw it into the fire without hesitation.

Seeing this, everyone followed suit.

"As if today's incident had never happened, if I hear any rumors from the outside world, don't even think about your future. Think carefully about how to save your family's lives."

Shen Wantang's eyes suddenly dimmed, and there was no warmth at all between his brows.

Everyone looked grim and nodded.

After checking the caught fish and making sure there was nothing else wrong, everyone prepared to return to the city.

"Who do you think is behind this?" Cen Xiao spoke softly on the way.

Shen Wantang frowned and thought - she naturally knew that someone was behind this, but now, the rebel army that was against the court was still under control, and naturally no one in the court dared to do such a thing.

The more Shen Wantang thought about it, the more he couldn't believe it.

She turned her head in shock, staring at the man in front of her with vigilant eyes.

Feeling the burning gaze beside him, Cen Xiao suddenly turned around and shook his head helplessly: "I'm with you all day, even if I want to, I don't have the time."

This is true, but it cannot be ruled out that it was done by the Cen family.

While being alert, a barely detectable worry flashed across Shen Wantang's eyes.

She stopped in her tracks and said, "General Cen, we are now on the same page. Please don't hide anything from me."

Seeing her like this, Cen Xiao felt helpless and stopped as well.

He stared into her eyes for a long time before he spoke slowly, "I know what will happen if you spread such rumors. Now that I am an official in the court, how could I possibly do such a thing?"

Seeing that Cen Xiao's eyes were still sincere, Shen Wantang finally let go of her worries.

If it’s not the Cen family, then who else could it be?

But it only took a moment to reach the city.

"The most urgent thing now is not to think about who did this. I will go and tell Magistrate Jiang to seal the river bank later. I don't know how many fish have notes hidden in their bellies."

Cen Xiao let out a long sigh.

Shen Wantang nodded.

After returning to the county government office, the two went to County Magistrate Jiang's room together.

"What! Poisoned? Is it serious? I will call the best doctor in the city right now."

County Magistrate Jiang suddenly stood up, his round body trembling constantly, and he exclaimed in surprise with his eyes wide open.

Shen Wantang responded quickly: "It's not a big deal. There are military doctors in the army. The condition is under control now. But I would like to trouble Lord Jiang to set up guards by the river to prevent the people from accidentally eating poisonous fish."

After he finished speaking, County Magistrate Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he hurriedly called his men and immediately arranged what Shen Wantang had ordered.

Seeing this, Shen Wantang felt relieved.

The stay in Mo County should not be too long. After only two or three days of rest, the main force set out again.

When the army was about to leave, the people of Mo County were really enthusiastic. As the army marched along the way, the people stuffed the things they had prepared along the way.

There are dry food and winter clothes, really everything you need.

Only when they reached the city gate did the people finally stop.

After bidding farewell to the people of Mo County, everyone set out on their journey home again.

In order to find out the matter of the note in the fish's belly, everyone followed the river.

After walking for a day, at night they entered a valley.

Coincidentally, as we followed the river, we found a hot spring in the mountains.

Because of the mountain spring, the cave is particularly warm.

"I think the river is not frozen because of this hot spring." Cen Xiao leaned over to take a look, and the hot steam from the hot spring hit his face.

"But why is it that only this year it wasn't frozen?" Shen Wantang was still puzzled.

At that time, the soldiers had already begun to settle down, and tonight they rested in this cave.

Holding the torch, Cen Xiao looked around.

I saw something strange in the corner of the hot spring.

Shen Wantang also followed and squatted down like Cen Xiao.

"Here." Cen Xiao pointed to the hot spring. "This is not a depression caused by the hot spring. Someone must have done it on purpose."

"If I'm not mistaken, someone must have changed the flow of the hot spring water, dug a ditch, and diverted the hot water from the hot spring into the river, which is why the river did not freeze this year."

Cen Xiao’s analysis is very logical.

Shen Wantang took a closer look and it seemed to be what Cen Xiao said.

"The person who did this must have calculated early on when winter would come and when the fish would grow up." After a moment, Cen Xiao continued to speak softly.

If that were the case, it turned out that this person was really coming for Ji Xunchuan.

This rumor must be spread before the end of the year.

But now, the matter of the note has been discovered by Shen Wantang and others, and he is afraid that his plan will be ruined.

"If the note doesn't cause much stir this time, I'm sure that person will do the same thing again in the future." Thinking back to the words on the note, Cen Xiao seemed to be thinking about something.

After the words fell, Shen Wantang's eyes tightened a little——

Returning to the group of soldiers, Shen Wantang slowly sat down and regained his composure. He picked up a bowl and drank the water in one gulp, as if he had made up his mind.

If it fails once, there will be a second time. Why can't you use it for your own benefit?

Those who achieve great things naturally accumulate things over time. Isn't now a good time to accumulate?
