C189

On this night, the team entered the depths of the valley. It was desolate and overgrown with vegetation, as if several hundred years old large trees towered into the sky. The dense foliage covered the moonlight, making it impossible to see through.

The team set up camp on the spot, saying that it was a tent, but it was a simple shack, but Wei Tengfei gave the best place to Xiaowan and Hanxi. His soldiers were self-disciplined and would never embarrass the two women.

In the forest deep in the mountains, there was no condition for to wash up with hot water. Xiaowan thought that Hanxi would not be able to take it, but seeing that she had directly splashed water on her face and quickly passed the handkerchief to her, she asked with a smile: "Is it cold?"

Hanxi shook her head and said weakly, "Sister-in-law, you wash too."

Just now, Ling Chaofeng had come over to remind him that there would always be beasts around. Wearing their clothes, they could sleep quickly and escape from this place.

The Xiaowan naturally wanted to follow her husband, but Hanxi was very pitiful. Thus, she separated her patience from her husband and secretly took a sip before peacefully accompanying Eldest Miss.

Not long after they laid down, they gradually unconsciously leaned against each other. Like this, they were both warm and peaceful, with their backs against each other, the distance between them gradually shortened, and Xiaowan very naturally began to call out Hanxi's name, no longer estranged from each other.

Hanxi then asked her: "Sister-in-law, what is General Wei doing in the mountains, catching bandits?"

Xiaowan did not dare to casually reveal it, so she replied: "I don't know either, I followed them."

Hanxi said, "Isn't Manager Ling running an inn, why would he come into contact with General Wei?"

Xiaowan thought for a moment, then laughed: "I didn't ask for details, I asked next time, then I will tell you, okay?"

Hanxi laughed: "Sister-in-law, can you not say?"

Xiaowan turned over and replied shamefully, "You are a smart girl who has studied before, you are much stronger than me. Since you can understand, don't blame me for what's good for me."

Hanxi also turned around and shook her head: "Why would I blame sister-in-law? I suddenly appeared and caused all of you so much trouble. "I'm just asking out of curiosity. I'm only thinking of my mother right now. My mother is fine, anything else is fine."

"I heard my husband say that General Wei thinks that walking is too slow, he just needs to send the person over, he doesn't care about anything else, so he would hire a horse carriage to send Mrs. Bi directly to the Siping Mansion." The Xiaowan comforted Hanxi, "On the road, you will definitely not suffer anymore, it's just that once we get there, you will have to work or something, so it will not be good for you to get involved."

"If that's the case, then why didn't he ask me to follow him?"

"Once we reach the Siping Mansion, your mother will be put on trial again for punishment. She definitely doesn't want you to see how miserable she is. "Do not misunderstand the general's meddling."

"Yes, I cannot misunderstand him. General Wei is a good person, I am very grateful to him. " Hanxi was full of guilt, "I don't even know how to repay him, and I even made him angry, this is already the second time he has saved me."

"You knew each other before?" Xiaowan asked.

"Just last year …" Hanxi told her about him being forced to marry Wei Tengfei once, and even made her try to seduce Wei Tengfei no matter what methods she used, and the more he said, the more sorrowful he became. "Father didn't just let down Brother Xingye's mother and son, he treated me, my brother, mother and grandmother, as mere pawns in his eyes. We were in a mess, and he was at home, and the world was unfair, and he was my father. "

The Xiaowan touched Hanxi's arm and covered her with more of her blanket, then said gently: "Right now, Young Noble Bi is setting up his own sect. If you and Ershan were to travel together in the imperial palace, you will definitely be even more amazing than your father.

In her heart, she thought, "Every family has its own problems. Wealthy families may not be able to get along well, but she can marry her husband. To be able to meet such a good family, she must cherish them well."

"Go to sleep, you might have to travel early tomorrow morning." The Xiaowan said and patted Hanxi. The two of them snuggled together and unknowingly fell asleep.

The people outside the tent were also nestling together to keep warm. Ling Chaofeng closed his eyes to rest his mind, but suddenly he heard some movement in the forest around him. He stood up and vigilantly observed his surroundings to see if there were any signs of movement.

"Are you alright?" Wei Tengfei also came over, holding his sword.

"It's fine, let's go." Ling Chaofeng said, "Usually no one visits this place, the beasts here are quite fresh when they see us."

Wei Tengfei laughed: "It's been a long time since I've stayed in such a dangerous place. I'm so excited."

General Wei was a few years older than Ling Chaofeng. He was already in his early thirties, but his entire body was exuding the vigor of a youth. "Of course, in places that should be calm and dignified, a single glance would cause a person's soul to scatter in fright. The Chuan Yu army's fame was not to be trifled with.

The first time Ling Chaofeng and him met, was when they were rushing through General Shen's tents. Then, due to a fortuitous encounter, the Empress came to an inn on his way to the capital, and after they met again, they became friends with Mo Ni.

The two of them observed for a while, after confirming that no wild beasts approached them, they sat down by the bonfire. General Wei smiled: "I didn't expect you to get married so quickly.

Ling Chaofeng laughed: "Fate has come. I can't help but want to grab onto it, Xiaowan and I finally succeeded after going through some tough times. The general's fame has spread far and wide. All the women in the world are willing to marry you, but fate has yet to arrive.

Wei Tengfei instead laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "This isn't like the Manager Ling, to actually tell me what fate it is."

Ling Chaofeng did not think so, and laughed: "When the general's beautiful woman appears, you will naturally think so."

"But right now … "It's not the time for me to be in love with a girl." Wei Tengfei's expression suddenly became serious, "I heard that the prince of Xiluo stayed in the capital for the whole summer, he asked everywhere for my Daqi's culture, and even wanted to study my Daqi's defense military. The Emperor does not care about this and lets him do whatever he wants. Furthermore, he does not cause trouble and is a modest and courteous person, making others unable to find any weakness in him. "

Ling Chaofeng listened quietly. Naturally, he had known about this a long time ago.

"Just what does the emperor mean? I'm just a boor, I can't figure it out." Wei Tengfei said, "There is a thousand miles between us and Xiluo, and we are separated by the ocean. If they really want to fight, should we go, or should they? "Attack or defend?"

Wei Tengfei said many things and he was even more straightforward, "You all said that the Chuanyu’s Army is infamous, but the truth is that your infamy is all with my father. After I had taken over the army, I had only swept through the bandits a few times. After I had taken over the army a few times, I had only swept through the bandits a few times. When the Emperor invades the Kingdom of Liang, he didn't bring all of my Chuanyu’s Army with him. I really can't sit still anymore, that's why I met you in the General Shen's military camp day and night.

Separated by the sea, wanting to open a new land is extremely difficult. On the other hand, in the thirty odd years that I have spent in the Daqi, I have made countless enemies. Ling Chaofeng said, "What I, an amateur, said, might not make sense, but since there are no battles in this world, that is the true way of life for An Bangxing."

Wei Tengfei laughed: "If you want the world to have no wars, you can't ask outsiders to not bully us, but to request for our strength, so that they won't even have a thought."

Ling Chaofeng said: "His Majesty is the same as you, he has never been to the battlefield."

The two of them smiled at each other as they understood each other.

Up until now, this enormous country had truly reached the hands of the young generation.

A thousand miles away, in the tranquil capital, within the Prince Shen’s Mansion, the study room was still lit.

Shen Qing heard that her father was still busy with official business, so she brought supper over from the kitchen and entered: "Daddy, you're hungry, right?"

Shen Zhe put down the letter in his hands, seeing his daughter's shadow slowly approaching, he said lovingly, "Why haven't you slept yet? This morning, I accompanied my aunt to the Temple of National Protection to burn some incense, and accompanied her for an entire day. Are you tired?"

"If I have something on my mind, I won't be able to sleep." As Shen Qing said this, she pulled his father's hand and called him over to the table for supper.

"What is father's little Little Qing thinking about? Did she come here specifically to tell father?" Shen Zhe smiled lovingly, "Where's your mom? Does she know? When she finds out that we don't bring her along, she'll be angry."

Little Qing charmingly said, "Daddy thinks of Mommy with all his heart, I'm going to get jealous."

Shen Zhe patted the back of his daughter's hand, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Dad, let's have supper. You take your time."

Her daughter sat beside her and looked gently at her father, relieved to see him devouring his food.

"Is it an unhappy thing?" Shen Zhe asked again.

"I don't know …" Shen Qing lowered her eyes, lowered her heart, and said, "Outside, it is said that Big Brother Emperor is choosing a person, and is getting along with Xiluo and that blue-eyed prince."

Shen Zhe slightly frowned and put down the spoon.

Shen Qing asked: "Father, did Your Majesty's big brother choose me?"
