This matter caused quite a stir. The reason Shen Yueshan agreed to it was naturally because Xiao Huayong was in control of the overall situation and out of trust in Xiao Huayong. But why not take advantage of such a good opportunity
There must be someone His Majesty's confidant in the Northwest Army, but this person is buried very deeply. The loss of Protector An's defense map must also be more deeply involved. From then on, Shen Yueshan did not show it on his face, and still treated the soldiers equally, but he no longer got drunk with the generals from time to time, and they all refused on the grounds of missing their daughters. Later, Xue Heng brought Xue Jinqiao here, and his son was about to get married, so as a father, he naturally could not indulge himself anymore.
In his heart, he was actually a little wary of these people who had gone through fire and water with him. Emperor Youning was meticulous and he did not dare to take it lightly. However, so many close friends who had been through life and death with him, and who had fought on the battlefield more times than anyone else, were now distant all of a sudden, which made Shen Yueshan very sad.
Although these people may seem rough and uncouth, they are extremely sensitive and have already sensed his deliberate alienation. If this continues for a long time, they will inevitably become alienated from him and be more easily exploited by others.
Xiao Huayong said that he wanted to arrange a scheme so that Shen Xihe could watch the wedding of his only brother with her own eyes. Shen Yueshan thought that Xiao Huayong was crazy at the time. He caused so many problems just to let Shen Xihe go to see Shen Yun'an's wedding, and it was a serious matter that could lead to eternal damnation if one was not careful.
Even if he had the ability, it was still not worth it in Shen Yueshan's opinion, and Shen Xihe himself would not allow such a big fuss.
But Xiao Huayong was determined to make this happen. He said, "Father-in-law, I know that you and Youyou are both clear-minded people who can clearly weigh the gains and losses. I also know that Youyou is eager to see my brother get married, but she will also reject my proposal. Therefore, I have to come and convince father-in-law first."
"You can't convince me." Shen Yueshan refused very straightforwardly and decisively at that time.
Xiao Huayong was not discouraged at all: "Father-in-law, this is a great opportunity, an opportunity to wipe out the Northwest Army."
This sentence completely moved Shen Yueshan. He began to seriously consider the feasibility and found that it was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime method. Then he listened to all of Xiao Huayong's arrangements and agreed only after he was sure that he could guarantee Shen Xihe's safety.
In order to reassure Shen Yueshan, and also because he did not know these areas as well as Shen Yueshan, when Shen Yueshan arrived in Liangzhou, Shen Yueshan arranged everything himself, including pretending to be a Turk to launch a surprise attack and hiding in this village.
Even these Xiao Huayong did not intervene, not to mention the situation in the Northwest Army, Xiao Huayong naturally knew nothing. He would not intervene rashly out of curiosity, which would be disrespectful to Shen Yueshan. However, Shen Yueshan was still unwilling to leave, which could only mean that the Northwest Army had really found out something this time, and it was so far-reaching that even Shen Yueshan could not act rashly.
Shen Xihe felt that Xiao Huayong's guess was the truth. She couldn't sit still for a moment and wanted to get up to ask Shen Yueshan, but Xiao Huayong grabbed her hand: "I don't think my father-in-law is sure yet. If you ask now, he won't tell you. Why don't we wait a day or two and decide based on the situation?"
Shen Xihe thought about it, nodded, and sat down again.
