"Report..."
A long sound disturbed Fu Yuheng's thoughts. As soon as he raised his head, Sun Ning signaled and the man came running over in a hurry, with a look of fatigue on his face.
"Report from the front, General Shen is in trouble, the situation is not optimistic."
Fu Yuheng's heart tightened when he heard the report. He didn't expect that General Shen would encounter difficulties. He had just solved Shen Qingwan's problem and thought that things would be a little easier. But now he was afraid that he couldn't do so.
The person who reported the incident told Fu Yuheng the details and was taken away to rest. Fu Yuheng held his forehead in front of such a large table of memorials. The intelligence from the front line was undoubtedly worse for Fu Yuheng, and it seemed to make him even more depressed.
Sun Ning saw that Fu Yuheng looked unhappy, and thought of Shen Qingwan who had just been released from house arrest. He felt sorry for her and started to mutter to himself.
"Alas, this virtuous concubine has just escaped a disaster, and now she must be worried sick."
When Fu Yuheng heard Sun Ning's words, he thought of Shen Qingwan and her cold yet clear eyes. If she were there, perhaps he would feel a lot more relaxed.
Then she thought about how she had just suffered a great disaster and had been tortured to the point of almost dying. If she knew about General Shen's situation now, she would definitely be deeply worried and would not be able to rest well. It would be a bad idea to let her know.
Fu Yuheng sighed and recalled the events of the past few days. When he went to see her in her yard, she had inadvertently asked him about General Shen's condition. She looked concerned, and now he couldn't bear to face it when he thought about it. Shen Qingwan, this woman, had always been indifferent to everything, as if only General Shen could arouse her emotions.
"Sun Ning, don't mention this to Concubine Xian for now."
At this time, General Shen was in dire straits.
This time, he was careless and fell into someone else's trap. He was now trapped in a cave in the mountains. Outside, there was only one group of people around him. He could only fight a desperate battle against the enemies outside.
"General, what should we do now?" A soldier had cold sweat on his face and was feeling anxious.
The situation had originally tilted in his favor, but he didn't know if it was because too many things had happened at home recently, and he was still a little dissatisfied with this matter. After all, he didn't know what was happening to his daughter now.
Early in the morning, someone came to report that the bandits were running towards the mountain. He was cautious and took more people with him. However, when they arrived at the mountain, they found that their leader was running in another direction. He had no choice but to split his troops into two groups. As a result, they did not chase them far before they found that the leader ran into a valley. In order to catch the leader, he had to catch the leader first. He took a team of people and followed him in.
However, he found that there was no one inside. After searching, he only found a figure flashing in front of a cave. Although he was confused, a soldier said that he had left a few numbers along the way, and he thought that reinforcements would arrive soon. General Shen didn't worry about anything and chased in.
But after entering, they found that there was only a thief inside. After seeing them, he committed suicide.
Only then did he realize that he had been tricked. When he looked back, he saw that there were twice as many people surrounding the cave entrance as they were. However, because they were in the cave, the people outside did not dare to act rashly, and the people inside could not get out either, so they were in a stalemate for a while.
"I'm afraid we can only wait for reinforcements now." General Shen sighed, feeling a little annoyed. He was too impatient. He had hoped for a great victory and underestimated the enemy for a moment. However, he did not expect that the bandits would want to use their last troops to fight them to the death.
Half a day had passed since they came in, but there was no movement from outside. The food they brought with them was not much, and they could only last for two days at most.
But logically speaking, the reinforcements should have come out to look for them when they saw that they had not returned. Why is there still no news
While he was confused, he heard a mocking voice coming from outside, "Hahaha! It seems that the dignified General Shen is just like this. He is still trapped here by us and waiting to die." General Shen had heard this voice before. It was the voice of the leader of those bandits.
"Hmph!" He snorted coldly and his eyes turned cold. Now they were like fish on a clam shell and could lose their lives at any time.
"Are you sure you have marked it?" Frowning, General Shen looked at the soldier with some doubt in his eyes.
If there was a problem with the mark, then they would never be found even if they went to the ends of the earth. He knew how remote this cave was, and it had brought them a great crisis.
"Haha! General Shen is still waiting for reinforcements? Your deputy general?" The man outside spoke again. Without even looking at him, one could tell that he had a disgusting expression. He must be laughing at his delusion in his heart. "General Shen can't even judge people well."
Upon hearing this, General Shen's face changed. He knew that his deputy general would definitely not betray him. After all, he was the one who had always been by his side. So the only one left could be the soldier who had made the mark.
The people around also reacted and looked at the soldier with a little more vigilance. They took a step back and formed a circle to surround him.
"Traitor!" A soldier started to curse, and the others followed suit, spitting at the soldier. For a moment, the soldier became the target of everyone's criticism. If looks could kill, that man would have been turned into a sieve long ago.
Sure enough, the soldier's legs suddenly went limp and there was panic in his eyes.
"General, please spare my life!" He suddenly knelt down and started crying loudly.
General Shen was upset and extremely disappointed with this soldier. He had never expected that he would be betrayed. "I have never treated anyone here unfairly. Why did you do such a thing?"
The battle situation is already volatile, but now with the addition of variables, this team will be doomed!
The soldier obviously knew the seriousness of the matter. He felt guilty but helpless. He was not a man who coveted fame and fortune, nor was he afraid of death. However, he was originally from the border area and had joined the army to fight for his dignity. However, the leader recognized him and found his parents to threaten him. Moreover, he had a younger brother at home. How could he feel at ease
For the time being, they had no choice but to compromise and only put up marks at the beginning to confuse people. Later on, they just did a perfunctory job and even guided people in another direction where no one could see.
"Forget it, just kill yourself." General Shen threw the sword in his hand and stabbed it in front of the soldier.
The soldier knew he had no face to live any longer, so he picked up his sword and committed suicide.
