"Report …"
A long sound disturbed Fu Yuheng's train of thought. He raised his head and Sun Ning signaled for the person to come over as he hurriedly ran over.
"Report from the front, the General Shen encountered difficulties, and the situation is not looking good."
Fu Yuheng's heart tightened upon hearing the report as he did not expect the General Shen to be in trouble. He had just settled Shen Qingwan's matter and thought that things would be a bit easier.
Fu Yuheng and the man who had reported the details were brought back to rest. Fu Yuheng facepalmed as he faced a large table full of memorials. To Fu Yuheng, the intelligence on the front lines was undoubtedly adding insult to injury. He was already feeling even more annoyed and annoyed than before.
Sun Ning saw that Fu Yuheng's expression did not look good, and thought of Shen Qingwan who had just been released from her confinement.
"Sigh, this Concubine Xian just escaped from a calamity, I'm afraid he's worried sick."
Hearing Sun Ning's words, Fu Yuheng thought of Shen Qing Wan and her ice-cold, clear eyes. If she was here, he might be able to relax a lot.
Now that she knew about the General Shen, she would definitely be deep in thought and worry. She wouldn't be able to recuperate properly so she wouldn't be able to find out.
He went to visit her in her courtyard, and she had even unintentionally asked him about the situation of the General Shen. That concerned expression of hers was a little unbearable to face now that he thought about it, Shen Qingwan had always been indifferent to everything, as if only the General Shen could arouse her emotions.
"Sun Ning, don't mention this matter to Consort Xian first."
And at this time, the General Shen was in a state of deep suffering.
He was careless this time. He was caught in someone else's trap and was trapped in a cave inside the mountain. There was only a group of people outside. It would be a battle to the death for the enemies outside.
"General, what should we do now?" A soldier's face was covered in cold sweat while his heart was filled with anxiety.
Originally, the situation had shifted in his favor. However, it was unknown whether it was because too many things had happened in the family recently. In addition, he was somewhat dissatisfied with this matter. After all, he did not know what would happen to his daughter.
In the morning, someone came to report that the thieves had run up the mountain. He brought a few more men cautiously, but when they reached the mountain, he found that their leader was running in another direction. Helpless, he could only split his troops into two.
After the search, he only saw a shadow flash in front of the cave. Although he was suspicious, but a soldier said that he left a few numbers behind along the way, so it was likely that reinforcements would arrive soon. General Shen was not worried anymore and chased into the cave.
However, only after entering did he discover that there was only one thief inside. Upon seeing them, he immediately committed suicide.
Only then did he realize that he had fallen into a trap. When he looked back, the cave entrance had already surrounded them twice as many people. However, because they were inside the cave, the people outside didn't dare to act rashly. The people inside couldn't go out either, so there was a moment of stalemate.
It had been half a day since he entered, but there was no sound from outside. They didn't have much rations on them, so they could only sustain themselves for two days at most.
However, logically speaking, the reinforcements should have come out to look for them after seeing that they still hadn't returned after so long, so why hadn't they heard anything from them yet?
Doubt arose in his heart, but at this moment, he heard a mocking laugh coming from outside, "Hahaha! It seems like a dignified General Shen is only so-so, wouldn't he be trapped here by us, waiting to die? " General Shen had heard this voice before, it was the leader of the bandits.
"Humph!" With a cold snort, their eyes also turned cold. Right now they were like fish on a board, they could lose their lives at any time.
"Are you sure you made the mark?" Frowning, General Shen looked at the soldier with doubt.
If the mark was wrong, then they wouldn't be able to find them even if they found the ends of the world. He knew that this cave was remote, but it had brought them great danger.
"Haha!" Was the General Shen still waiting for reinforcements? That vice general of yours? " The people outside spoke again. They did not even need to look to know that it was a disgusting face, and secretly mocked him in their hearts, "General Shen actually has times where people can't recognize each other."
Hearing that, General Shen's face also changed. He knew that his assistant general would definitely not betray him, since he was someone who had been following him the entire time.
The surrounding people also reacted, and the gaze in which they looked at the soldier became more vigilant. They all took a step back, leaving a circle to surround him.
Sure enough, the soldier's legs went limp and his eyes were filled with panic.
"General, please spare our lives!" Putong knelt down and actually started crying.
General Shen was frustrated and disappointed by the soldier. He did not expect to be betrayed by someone, "I have never treated any one of you unfairly, why do you want to do such a thing?"
The outcome of the battle was ever-changing, but if it were any more unpredictable, it would be the death of this team of men and women!
He was not greedy for wealth, nor was he afraid of death. However, he was originally a person of this border, and went to the army to fight for his own life, but the leader had somehow recognized him and found his parents to threaten him. Furthermore, there was a young brother in the family, how could he be at ease!
In a short while, they had no choice but to compromise. They had only left a mark at the beginning to confuse the situation. Afterwards, they had perfunctorily done so and no one had seen where they were leading them in another direction.
"Whatever. You can decide for yourself." General Shen threw the sword in his hand over, right in front of the soldier.
The soldier knew he was too ashamed to live, so he picked up his sword and slit his own throat.
