The next day.
After Jiang Wei woke up, Shen Xining came to his tent and asked about his injuries. He also asked his subordinates to help make medicine for him. Jiang Wei did not stop him at all. Instead, he had a big smile on his face, as if he was very happy that Shen Xining did this.
He put the dish into Shen Xining's bowl and whispered.
"I have heard about your life in Jingnan. Aning has grown up. If your uncle knew that what you did today could not only preserve the honor of the Shen family, but also ensure the safety of the people, he would definitely be very pleased. However, this frontier is indeed not as good as Kyoto. If nothing happens, Aning should leave early and go back."
Shen Xining nodded. She didn't know how much Jiang Wei knew about her current situation, but Shen Xining didn't want to tell him all the bad things. Jiang Wei was currently busy with the war on the border and was already very anxious. She didn't want to distract Jiang Wei any more.
But Jiang Wei's eyes dimmed a little as he watched her finish the food on the plate. After dinner, Jiang Wei stood up. Shen Xining held her head, feeling a little dizzy. She fell asleep on the table.
Jiang Wei stood up and ordered the people beside him to help Shen Xining to the bed to rest.
"General, why don't you just tell Miss Shen?"
"A Ning has a stubborn personality. This matter is inherently risky. If I tell her, I'm afraid she will either disagree, or accompany me to the battlefield, or worry too much. There's no need for that."
Their family has been loyal for generations, and they are all good generals. If they could die on this battlefield, that would be the best outcome.
Jiang Wei put on his armor and led his troops to battle.
Xie Zhaoan was still wearing the same plain clothes. He lazily instructed Yuewei to feed the antidote to Shen Xining.
"Mr. Yue, it's fine even if Lord Shen doesn't go to today's battle."
This war was a surprise attack, not only on the enemy, but also on the imperial court. In previous battles, the actions on the battlefield would be reported to the imperial court. However, yesterday, Xie Zhaoan and Jiang Wei made a bet not to report the matter to the imperial court. Both of them were smart people, so how could they not understand the meaning of this operation? It was simply saying that perhaps the real traitor was not the people Jiang Wei ordered to be killed, but the officials within the imperial court.
Or maybe it was the one...
How could Xie Zhaoan not know that Shen Xining had nothing to do with this matter, but he just wanted to prove that Shen Xining would also feel heartbroken when seeing him get hurt. At that time, he would tell Shen Xining that heart-breaking pain is something that everyone knows and is not worth mentioning. Only people like him who never feel heart-breaking are the most valuable people in the world.
Fortunately, Yuewei didn't know about this idea, otherwise he would probably start to laugh at Xie Zhaoan's childishness.
In short, after Shen Xining woke up, he learned about this plan. Although he felt it was risky, he thought it was feasible.
After all, what he had seen and heard along the way were enough to change some of Shen Xining's inner thoughts. Perhaps the current court itself was a huge loophole. In this case, the affairs of the court might not be enough to make people feel enough trust.
While Shen Xining was anxiously waiting in the military camp, she suddenly saw a pigeon flying out. She ordered her men to capture the man and put a dagger on his neck.
"Tell me, what was the content just transmitted? And who are you?"
"Hahaha! Lord Shen, right? What was just spread was nothing more than the news of this expedition. General Jiang, you will definitely die this time!"
After saying this, the man swallowed pills and committed suicide. He fell to the ground and could not get up. His whole body was filled with the smell of poison.
Shen Xining pursed her lips, and immediately decided to dress up and go to the battlefield.
"Miss, you can't go!? On the battlefield, swords are merciless, and the slightest misfortune can cost you your life!"
Shen Xining held Haruki's hand tightly.
"Chun Xing, now they have already gone to the battlefield. The only trustworthy people on the battlefield are either stationed at the food and grass station and cannot move, or they are not trustworthy. There are rumors of traitors in the military camp. If I don't go, Jiang Wei will not trust the person who reported the news, and this battle will be lost."
Chun Xing's hands that were blocking her gradually loosened, and she already understood what Shen Xining's intention was.
"Miss... ... ."
"Don't worry, Jiang Wei will definitely protect me."
After saying that, Shen Xining ran away at full speed.
When they were almost there, Shen Xining did not see Jiang Wei, but only saw Xie Zhaoan. He was still wearing plain clothes and was surrounded by a group of people. Shen Xining looked at them and was stunned.
"this... ... "
Xie Zhaoan looked at Shen Xining and raised his eyebrows slightly. There was a firmness in his eyes. Shen Xining was stunned for a moment, and then countless arrows flew in the sky, and the ground was shaking. It was the enemy!
"Danger!"
The corners of Xie Zhaoan's mouth were still raised, and he looked very happy.
The number of the enemy troops was very large, and it was obvious that they were well prepared. Shen Xining came here to report the news. Seeing this scene, she wanted to escape through a small path to see where Jiang Wei was. Unexpectedly, an arrow shot directly at her feet. What she didn't notice was that the arrow was shot by Xie Zhaoan.
Shen Xining's figure shook, exposing her whereabouts. The enemy noticed her movements and several people rushed over.
Shen Xining clenched the dagger in his hand, wanting to fight these people to the death, but he didn't expect that Xie Zhaoan moved the sword in his hand slightly upwards to resist the attacks of these people. Then, he inserted the sword in his hand into the enemy's chest. The blood in the enemy's chest instantly flowed out, and plasma gushed out and sprayed on the ground, and the enemy fell to the ground.
Xie Zhaoan looked at Shen Xining.
"Master Shen, are you injured?"
Shen Xining was about to shake his head.
Xie Zhaoan suddenly widened his eyes, grabbed Shen Xining's wrist fiercely, pulled her forward, and then pulled her into his arms when Shen Xining lost her balance. Shen Xining smelled the familiar smell of pine on the man, but before she could react, she heard a muffled groan from the man, followed by the sound of the enemy falling to the ground.
Xie Zhaoan's body softened, but his hands were still on her shoulders. His eyes were closed, and his long eyelashes covered his eyes, which usually had a teasing look, making them less cunning and more cute.
Shen Xining was stunned for a moment, then fell to the ground under his body. The sound of military equipment came from outside. It was Jiang Wei!
Jiang Wei came with a large army! He was dressed in military uniform, so I'm afraid he had planned it all out! So, this matter was a plan from the beginning!
