Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Shen Lanxi was extremely sad and angry at this time.

"I told you not to go into the city, why didn't you listen?"

"This is definitely a purposeful and planned assassination, otherwise you wouldn't have been assassinated right after entering Xiling City. Obviously, the assassin has already targeted us and knows our whereabouts very well!"

"Lord Cao sacrificed his life to save the princess. Although he was righteous, this cannot cover up his dereliction of duty."

"If he hadn't insisted on entering the city, the envoys wouldn't have been assassinated. He could have prevented the incident in advance, but he wanted to send the envoys to their doom!"

"This general will report to the court and impeach Cao Ziling for acting on his own, not following orders, and pursuing pleasure. As for whether the court will sentence him to treason, it depends on your majesty's opinion!"

Shen Lanxi was speaking in the front, while Xiao Fang and the others were standing by with their heads down and giggling.

If they hadn't done it last night, they would have believed it!

When the officials of Xiling City heard what Shen Lanxi said, they immediately begged for mercy and tried to please her.

Shen Lanxi made some pretentious remarks with them, then sighed: "I know you are all innocent. You just wanted to show your hospitality to the princess because she has arrived. I will speak well of you to the court and His Majesty later. You are also victims of this assassination attempt!"

Officials of all ranks in Xiling City looked down on Shen Lanxi yesterday, but when they met her today, they were so shocked by her flawless appearance that they dared not even breathe.

"The losses of the marriage delegation this time are too great, and many of the guards we just recruited have been killed or injured. Should you send officers and soldiers from Xiling City to escort us to the northwest, or should we recruit some warriors from Xiling City to escort us? You can discuss it among yourselves."

Shen Yuanjing reminded at the right time: "General, let's go see the princess first. I just heard from the imperial physician that the princess was quite frightened. I don't know if it will delay her trip!"

Xiao Fang shouted, "It's written in the imperial edict that if you delay the trip, your entire clan will be executed!"

Shen Lanxi swept through all the officials, big and small, without leaving any trace. Not long after she left, someone came to contact Shen Yuanjing and others.

"General, you are really smart. The governor just gave me five thousand taels of silver!"

"The magistrate gave me a box of gold."

"The prefect sent me..."

Everyone around Shen Lanxi was given generous gifts!

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "Take them away for a while, and when they come to find you again, you can handle it yourself."

Xiao Fang put the gold down.

Shen Lanxi: "No need to give it to me, this is their gift to you, just take it!"

Xiao Fang refused: "General, use this money to buy food!"

Shen Lanxi smiled mysteriously and said, "Do I need this much? What I got last night is not enough. From here all the way to the northwest, there are so many cities. Isn't it enough for my tomb-robbing team to take?"

Tomb Raiders Team?

A few people thought about the things they moved back last night, and then thought about the name, which was indeed very appropriate.

This time the court responded quickly.

"...Cao Ziling acted on his own initiative, causing the marriage delegation to suffer heavy losses. He cannot escape the blame. He is willing to protect Princess Wanhe with his own life and spare the lives of his family. All males over the age of 15 in his family will be sent to the army, and the rest will be exiled to Dongchuan to be slaves of armored men..."

"In view of the heavy casualties among the marriage delegation, Shen Lanxi is specially ordered to continue hiring guards locally. Once the guards are hired, they must head to the northwest as soon as possible. There must be no mistakes..."

Shen Lanxi took the imperial edict and looked at everyone.

"Continue to recruit guards!"

No one dared to raise any objection, and the marriage delegation obediently followed the arrangements.

Two days later, we continued our journey.

Zhou Yunyue sat in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside the window with a numb expression. Suddenly, someone pushed her wrist.

"Princess, here I come!" the maid said hurriedly.

Zhou Yunyue came back to her senses, immediately took out the handkerchief in her hand and threw it aside with force.

"Oh, my silk handkerchief~"

"Yuan Jing, go get it for me!"

Shen Yuanjing was on patrol. When he heard Zhou Yunyue's voice, he rode over on his horse.

"Princess, what's the matter?"

Zhou Yunyue pointed to the back and said, "My silk handkerchief was blown over there by the wind. It was given to me by the Queen. I can't lose it."

"Yuan Jing, go pick it up for me!"

Shen Yuanjing saw her standing up in the carriage and didn't want to cause any more trouble.

"You wait!"

Zhou Yunyue smiled: "Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Shen Yuanjing felt that this was strange, frowned twice, and then ignored it.

He turned the horse around and walked back for a while, and actually saw a silk handkerchief. He took it, stuffed it into the carriage, and continued to patrol on horseback!

Zhou Yunyue watched Shen Yuanjing's back for a while, then looked away and whispered, "Where's my box?"

Zilan: "It's in your dressing box."

Zhou Yunyue raised the corner of her mouth with cold eyes.

The further northwest you go, the farther the post stations are. Except for Xiling, you didn't see a single post station after walking for two days. The envoys were forced to sleep in the wild for two days!

It's time to set up camp again.

"Yuan Jing, I'm afraid there are bugs in there, please come and help me check it!" Zhou Yunyue asked the palace maid to find an excuse to call Shen Yuanjing over.

No matter how careless Shen Yuanjing was, he could tell something was wrong.

"Princess, you can call me Lord Shen, or Shen Xianfeng." It felt weird to call him by that name, and they were not familiar with each other.

Zhou Yunyue poured a cup of tea for Shen Yuanjing: "We are relatives, you call me uncle, I am a few months older than you, if we were in an ordinary family, you should call me cousin!"

Shen Yuanjing's hair stood on end after hearing what Zhou Yunyue said. Didn't she always claim that she was a princess?

How did you change your personality and talk to these untouchables?

"I checked it, nothing's wrong, I'm leaving!"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhou Yunyue quickly stuffed the tea into his hands.

"You have helped me so much, have a cup of tea. I brought this tea from the palace, it tastes sweet and fragrant, try it!"

Shen Yuanjing looked at the teacup stuffed into his hand. He didn't know whether to put it down or drink from it!

"...Okay, from now on, if you have something to do, just call the guards. I'm very busy. For small things like chasing away insects, you can ask the guards or palace maids to do it!" Shen Yuanjing raised his head, drank the tea, put down the teacup, turned around and left!

Zhou Yunyue hurriedly grabbed him.

"Yuan Jing, don't leave in such a hurry!"

Shen Yuanjing just felt dizzy and thought something was wrong. Just as he took a step forward, everything went dark in front of his eyes!

Zhou Yunyue looked at the person lying on the ground, sneered and scolded: "You two idiots, why don't you come and help carry him to the bed."

The two palace maids hurriedly lowered their heads and tried to move Shen Yuanjing.

……

"Yuan Kun, have you seen Yuan Jing?" Shen Yuanxu asked.

"No, was he called away by the general?"

Shen Yuanxu: "No, I just came from the general's place!"

"Strange, where did you go after dinner?"

~

"General, something bad has happened, you should go and take a look!" Xiao Fang hurriedly found Shen Lanxi and spoke to her in a low voice.
