"Du Kang wine, the Du Kang wine brewed during the first snow of last year!"

There were endless sounds of hawking in the street. Cen Xiao walked on the street, and the snow under his feet made a crunching sound. He turned his head and looked at the children playing on the street and smiled indifferently.

"Young Master, please wait for me." At that time, the deputy general finally arrived and ran to Cen Xiao panting.

Having said this, he put the cloak in his hand on his young master.

"There are people selling wine there, why don't we go and take a look?" The deputy general raised his eyebrows and asked.

Cen Xiao stopped, turned around, took a glance, and then left without looking back: "No."

"No, didn't you want to buy wine just now?" The deputy general was helpless, he sighed deeply and hurriedly followed.

At that time, Shen's house.

After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone went back to their rooms.

Shen Wantang went to the ancestral hall alone.

The ancestral hall was deserted and extremely quiet. The dim candlelight flickered, casting Shen Wantang's figure on the wall.

"Mom, it's New Year's again." Shen Wantang choked up, tears flashing in her eyes.

He didn't know how many tablets there were in front of him, but Shen Wantang could see his mother's tablet at a glance.

Just now during the dinner, seeing the deep love between Aunt Liu and Shen Ying, it really reminded Shen Wantang of her sad memories.

"If my daughter achieves military merit again, mother, you will also be proud of Tang'er." Shen Wantang forced a smile on her face.

But suddenly, her smiling face turned gloomy, and was replaced by infinite sadness in her dark eyes.

"There is a person my daughter wants to protect, but now, someone wants my daughter to kill that person." Shen Wantang said softly.

After she finished speaking, she was silent for a long time, and then she slowly spoke: "Being with the king is like being with a tiger. My daughter is so tired."

Click...

There was a faint sound coming from the roof.

The ancestral hall is an important place, and outsiders will naturally not come here. Moreover, it is on the roof, so the person who comes must have bad intentions.

"Who!" Shen Wantang's eyes narrowed, he stood up and chased after him.

The man's lightness skill was quite good, he was about to leave the Shen Mansion by climbing over eaves and walls.

However, this was the Shen Residence after all. Shen Wantang recognized the visitor's escape route early in the morning and chased him along the path, stopping him just in time at the back door.

"Who is so bold as to break into the Shen family's ancestral hall at night?"

Shen Wantang stood in front of the man in black, drew the soft sword from his waist, and asked in a stern voice.

The man was wearing a cloak and covering his face. He waited until Shen Wantang asked before slowly taking off the veil on his head.

"It's me." Lian Zhao smiled indifferently, with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.

Shen Wantang frowned, still keeping a vigilant look in his eyes: "Why did you break into my ancestral hall at night?"

As he spoke, Shen Wantang directly placed the soft sword against Lian Zhao's neck and asked sternly.

Seeing this, Lian Zhao smiled awkwardly, his neck shrinking involuntarily: "Don't be angry, I really have no choice. You are the only person I know in the capital. On New Year's Eve, I wanted to look for you, but when I went to your yard, I found that you were not there. So, I came here to look for you."

What Lian Zhao said made sense, but Shen Wantang remained alert.

"I'm really worried that you'll be troubled by your aunt. If that's the case, I can still save your life."

Lian Zhao finally spoke, feeling really helpless.

That's it.

Shen Wantang put away his soft sword, and his brows slowly opened: "How do you know about my family's situation?"

As soon as I asked the question, the answer came to my mind.

Lian Zhao smiled calmly and came forward: "You also know what I did in the capital. Before doing anything, I must make full preparations. Only in this way can I have a greater chance of winning."

"It's also said in your military books that if you know yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle." Lian Zhao smiled calmly.

Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth, and said teasingly: "Oh, you know a lot."

Having said that, he was about to go back to the courtyard. It was getting late now and he had to get up early tomorrow morning to pay New Year's greetings.

Just as she was about to leave, Lian Zhao grabbed her arm tightly: "Wait a moment."

Shen Wantang's footsteps were tripped, and her eyebrows were knitted tightly: "Your Highness, is there anything else?"

"I haven't had my family reunion dinner yet tonight. Why don't you accompany me to the restaurant?"

Lian Zhao raised his eyebrows and stated the purpose of his visit today.

But it was already late, and Shen Wantang really didn't have the energy to do so. She pulled her hand away from Lian Zhao's with a sudden pull.

"No, I don't have time."

After leaving a few words, Shen Wantang walked away.

"If you are willing to go with me, I can tell you who the men in red and blue were during the battle at Shancheng."

Lian Zhao also came prepared.

After all, he said, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle.

He has made great progress in controlling his mind.

Sure enough, Shen Wantang paused and turned around abruptly.

His eyes were fixed on Lian Zhao, but a layer of helplessness slowly emerged in his eyes - using this kind of thing as a bargaining chip really showed that he had control over Shen Wantang's mind.

Lian Zhao stood there, his eyes slightly raised: "If Miss Shen doesn't want to, then forget it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lian Zhao was about to turn around.

Suddenly, Lian Zhao felt someone pulling him, and when he turned around, he had already been taken far away by Shen Wantang.

"Tell me, which restaurant are we going to?"

Shen Wantang was angry, but also helpless.

The capital city was in a state of prosperity. Even on New Year's Eve, the restaurants were packed with people.

Lian Zhao was a man who knew how to enjoy life, so he asked the shopkeeper directly for a room on the second floor, which had a lot of space outside and from which he could also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the capital.

"Is Your Highness satisfied?" After the waiter brought the last dish, Shen Wantang raised his eyes with some resentment and asked.

Lian Zhao nodded repeatedly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course I am satisfied."

"Can you tell me now who those two people are?" Shen Wantang didn't have the time to talk to Lian Zhao about other things.

However, Lian Zhao, who was now in the upper hand, smiled calmly: "Don't worry, I will tell you the truth after I finish my meal."

Looking at Lian Zhao in front of him - where is the temperament of the prince of Rong? Although he is wearing gorgeous clothes, the etiquette of sitting and lying on the couch is really not decent.

Shen Wantang glanced helplessly, then looked downstairs——

It is better to look at the beautiful scenery than to look at Lian Zhao.

"Dacheng is so powerful, do you know how many famous generals our Rong country has?" Lian Zhao asked suddenly, leaving Shen Wantang a little confused.

Then thinking about it carefully, Shen Wantang could remember some things: "The four famous generals of Rong State, the four of them joined forces to fight for Rong State on the battlefield and were invincible. However, in the previous battle, one of them was killed by my father himself. Now there are only three of the four famous generals left, and their fighting power is not as good as before."

After the words fell, Lian Zhao smiled helplessly, put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and raised his eyes: "Miss Shen, are you showing off to me?"
