"This... Is this the General Shen? " The gate guard was shocked and widened his eyes. Right now, the news of the border incident had already spread far and wide. Who didn't know that the border had been defeated? It was said that no one knew if the General Shen was dead or alive, and there were no clues at all. But now that someone had appeared in front of him, how could he not be excited!
"Shut up!" Ye Feng shouted. Since General Shen's body had not fully recovered yet, it was best not to let too many people know about it.
The guard was shocked and quickly shut his mouth. However, there were already many people surrounding them.
"Is this General Shen? It is said that the General Shen uses troops like a god, but he has suffered a great defeat this time. Some people said that he is about to die! " A young man in the crowd whispered to someone beside him, but his voice was still heard.
Soon after, whispers could be heard from the surroundings of the carriage.
"Tch!" And he said he was a wargod, but he still couldn't beat him, and in the end he almost got himself beaten to death? " Someone started it, and it stopped.
However, there were some elderly who stood up and spoke up for General Shen. After all, they had lived for a long time, and had a certain understanding of the affairs of General Shen.
"Hmph, what does a kid know? General Shen has been on the battlefield for most of his life, so naturally, he can't be compared to us mortals. Moreover, if one was not a saint, how could he not be one? "How can you view everything from success or failure in one round!"
At this time, many people were discussing about it, but they were worried about Ye Feng. If this continued, the news of the General Shen would certainly spread, and at that time it would not be easy for people to enter the capital.
"Hurry up and get out of the way. If you delay the matter, who will bear the responsibility?" Can you bear the responsibility? " With that loud shout, the surrounding people immediately quieted down. They all stepped back, making a path open up for them.
"Cough, cough …" The voices of the people outside were not very soft. Adding to the fact that General Shen was a martial artist, his hearing was much better than ordinary people. There were many things that reached General Shen's ears.
He sighed, "Sigh..." Haha, it seems like this old man has not lived his entire life in vain! "Haha!" The General Shen was rather open-minded. Someone talking meant that there was still someone who remembered him, this old man. It could be said that he didn't come to this world for nothing.
Ye Feng heard the laughter coming from the carriage and was a bit confused. Today, the crowd's evaluation of him was not clear, but it was clear that this time's border incident had a huge impact, so why would the General Shen laugh? Was he infuriated?
"General, they are just commoners in the city, don't be too angry. The border incident isn't all the fault of the general." No matter what, Ye Feng still decided to comfort her, but he did not expect the General Shen to laugh.
"Do you think this general has gone dumb from anger?" General Shen laughed, revealing the magnanimity in his heart, "So it's... I believe you will understand this logic sooner or later. You will understand it in the future. " Regarding Ye Feng, he only felt that he had to fear the younger generation, and it was not easy to reach such a state at such a young age.
Ye Feng nodded. It seemed like the General Shen naturally had its own considerations. In the end, he was still young and couldn't compete with others.
In less than a day's time, Fu Yuheng received the news that the General Shen had returned. He immediately sent people to assist his, and the matter at the border had already passed.
"Has the emperor made his decision?" Sun Ning stood at the side with a somewhat worried expression. He had followed the emperor for a long time so he naturally knew of his troubles for the past few days. But now that the General Shen had returned, he had to make a decision.
Fu Yuheng rubbed his glabella, but no longer worried. "It all depends on the will of the heavens!" These words caused Sun Ning to be stunned. Looking at the smile on the person in front of him, he suddenly felt that he couldn't see through the current Emperor.
"Your servant greets your majesty! Long live the Martial Monarch! Long live the Martial Monarch! " With the support of Ye Feng, the General Shen came in and directly knelt on the ground with a "putong" sound. His eyes were slightly red.
When Fu Yuheng saw this, he was somewhat moved. However, he still could not lose his dignity on the surface. "General Shen, rise." The people who abhor the imperial family's reputation the most are also people who like to doubt and doubt. However, he rarely tried to intimidate him. Instead, he did his best in the war.
"This subject does not dare, this subject deserves to die a thousand times. Please punish me, Your Majesty!" Hearing his words, General Shen still refused to get up. Instead, he kowtowed once again, and his tone was filled with guilt.
Seeing this, Fu Yuheng could only sigh. It was true that he was a cherished genius, and that the General Shen had contributed greatly to the imperial government. It was a pity that he had too much military power and made the royal family feel threatened. His end was already decided.
How could General Shen not know that? He had already realized that to the emperor, he was already a type of fear.
"As for the border matter, we will naturally punish you. As long as General Shen follows our orders. But now that you have just returned, your injuries have not yet healed. It would be better for you to return early to rest and recuperate from your injuries. " Fu Yuheng had long discovered that Ye Xiwen's injuries were severe. Moreover, Ye Feng was beside him, so he had some things he wanted to ask.
"Then, this subject shall take his leave first." Seeing that, Fu Yuheng signaled Sun Ning with his eyes. Sun Ning immediately understood and called for a servant to help General Shen out.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned solemn.
"Ye Bodyguard, it's been hard on you these days." During these days, Ye Feng had always been by General Shen's side, so he must have suffered a lot.
"The Emperor is too serious. It's your subordinate's fault for not protecting the General Shen properly." Although he had been rather tired these past few days, he did not receive any substantial injuries. Instead, he did not manage to protect the General Shen well, making him feel very bad.
Fu Yuheng waved his hand and said, "Ye Bodyguard, you don't have to blame yourself. Tell me, what have you discovered in the past few days?" Back to the main topic, what exactly had happened at the border that caused General Shen, who had been fighting for so many years, to fall to such a state, that was what he wanted. Plus, he already promised Shen Qingwan that he would give her an explanation.
In the end, he decided to temporarily hide the matter of the Ninth Prince. "If you go back to the Emperor, your subordinate will find out that there is a spy at the border, but because the other party is too cautious, we weren't able to find out. However, my initial assumption is that he should be a deputy general. "
"Do you have anyone in mind?" Fu Yuheng's thoughts changed and his gaze turned cold. He would never have imagined that there would actually be such a person in the army. He was quite bold.
"This …" Ye Feng was a bit hesitant. Although he had his suspicions at this time, he still could not find any evidence.
Fu Yuheng glanced at him. "Just say it directly. There's no need to be so restrained."
