"Shen Wantang!"

A very low voice called out to her.

Shen Wantang held the sword tightly, waiting for the man to come over so that he could chop him down.

But when he looked around, Qing'e, who had just followed him, was nowhere to be seen.

"Death to you thief!"

Suddenly, a scream rang out in the room, and a figure suddenly rushed out, holding a candlestick, closing his eyes, and pounced on the intruder.

"what!"

The man called out in a low voice, and Shen Wantang's heart tightened: "Lian Zhao!"

Then he turned around and rushed out.

Shen Wantang rushed forward and grabbed Qing'e's hand. At that time, the candlestick was only an inch away from Lian Zhao's throat.

After lighting the candle, Lian Zhao was still in shock.

Qing'e knelt down on the ground: "Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

At that time, Lian Zhao was still immersed in the happiness of escaping danger. He glanced at Qing'e who was kneeling on the ground and waved his hand: "Forget it, get up quickly. I'm scared when I see you."

Shen Wantang frowned slightly and looked at Qing'e beside him: "Go down."

The candlelight flickered in the room. Shen Wantang stared at Lian Zhao in front of him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Your Highness, why did you come here so late at night?"

I've heard something about you recently, so I wanted to come and see you." Lian Zhao forced a smile and stared at Shen Wantang in front of him, with an indescribable affection flowing in his eyes.

It's been so long, and Shen Wantang is still his candidate.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am fine. But Your Highness, I heard that there was a thief in the hostage house. When he entered the palace with the prince, he stole the palace's property. Now the prince still has time to take care of me. It seems that the matter has been dealt with."

Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows, with a hint of teasing in his words.

After he finished speaking, Lian Zhao smiled awkwardly.

"Actually, I came here today to talk to you about Mobei."

Shen Wantang lowered his eyes and asked slowly, "Your Highness, you are wrong. It's just a little disturbance, not a war."

Knowing that Shen Wantang would say that, Lian Zhao raised his eyebrows and took out a letter from his chest.

"Can the information from your Majesty be as accurate as my direct information?"

Shen Wantang's expression became stern and his brows tightened.

"I wonder if Miss Shen still remembers what I told you about the brother and sister generals of our Rong country?"

Lian Zhao raised his eyebrows, feeling quite proud.

"This time, the brother and sister went on an expedition and gained quite a lot. We captured three cities of your Cheng country and also got a group of excellent war horses."

Shen Wantang raised her head, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The Marquis of Zhenbei, who guards Mobei, is valiant and good at fighting, and the Cen family army is one of the best soldiers in Chengguo. They were no less inferior to the four famous generals of Rongguo in their battles. How could they be beaten into such a state by these two juniors?

Suddenly, Shen Wantang put on a cold smile: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you are lying to me? Although the Zhenbei Marquis is old, he is still strong. Do you really think that his Cen family army is vegetarian?"

After the words fell, a trace of guilt flashed in Lian Zhao's eyes, and then he cleared his throat: "Why is Miss Shen so anxious? Can't you bear to hear me say bad things about the Cen family?"

As he said this, he raised his eyebrows playfully.

Everything was fine, why did it bring it to Cen Xiao again?

Shen Wantang frowned and stood up suddenly: "If your highness has nothing else to say, please go back."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked straight to the couch.

Lian Zhao behind him was a little anxious, and hurriedly stood up: "Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you so impatient!"

Shen Wantang's tentative steps finally stopped, and she turned around, with a cold look that had already revealed everything: "Your Highness, please tell me if you have anything else to say. I haven't been feeling well these days, so I'm afraid I can't keep you here for long."

Lian Zhao handed over the envelope. He looked a little embarrassed, and then said quietly, "I wanted to tell Cen Xiao about this, but I also know Cen Xiao's bad temper. I saw you and him together before, and you have been through a lot. If I tell you about this, you won't hit me on the spot, right?"

Shen Wantang only took a glance at the letter, and his brows, which had just relaxed, instantly twisted into a "川" shape.

His eyes tightened and the letter in his hand was instantly crumpled into a ball.

Before Lian Zhao could recover from his shock, Shen Wantang's hand had already tightly grasped his collar.

"Impossible!" Shen Wantang exclaimed.

Lian Zhao was also startled and struggled, "Just now I said you wouldn't be so impulsive, but now I see that you are even scarier than Cen Xiao!"

Shen Wantang didn't loosen his grip on Lian Zhao's hand at all, his eyes were wide open as if he wanted to eat someone.

"Marquis Zhenbei is an expert in martial arts, how could he be trapped in the quicksand?" Shen Wantang pressed on.

Lian Zhao had no choice but to push Shen Wantang away, straightened his clothes, and panted heavily: "How can I know? Why are you taking out all your anger on me? Why don't you blame the Marquis of Zhenbei for being greedy and reckless?"

Shen Wantang felt uneasy in his mind.

If there is no news about Marquis Zhenbei this time, Ji Xunchuan will definitely not let Cen Xiao go.

Maybe the Cen family will be punished. By then, even if Cen Xiao has wings, he will not be able to fly away.

Shen Wantang gritted her teeth to hide her grief, then fell to her knees with a thud.

"Your Highness, I have a favor to ask."

Shen Wantang raised her head and stared at Lian Zhao with her tearful eyes.

Lian Zhao, who had been looked down upon many times, was startled by the sudden gift and stared at the woman in front of him.

"What are you doing?"

"Your Highness, please save the Marquis of Zhenbei."

After he finished speaking, Shen Wantang fell heavily to the ground.

To a hostage from an enemy country, these words were ridiculous, but Shen Wantang still had no other choice.

Only the Marquis of Zhenbei is stationed in the Mobei area. If we transfer troops from other places, it will probably take a lot of time.

Putting aside the issue of time, how could Ji Xunchuan miss this opportunity to eradicate the Cen family's power?

This time it’s the Cen family, next time it’ll be the Shen family!

"Miss Shen, it's not that I don't want to help you. I am also trapped in your Cheng Kingdom now. How can I help you? You think too highly of me."

Lian Zhao sat down slowly and waved his hand helplessly.

Shen Wantang slowly raised her head: "I understand your ambition, if one day you return to Rong State, I am willing to help you overcome all difficulties."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ambition hidden deep in Lian Zhao's heart suddenly fluctuated.

The usually cynical face suddenly froze.

He looked at the daughter of a military commander kneeling on the ground in disbelief - how did she know?

Then, he waved his hand and smiled helplessly: "Miss Shen, what are you talking about? Since I came to Chengguo, I have no intention of going back. Don't make such a joke."
