Chapter 15: Arriving at Shan Yang City

"Don't bother General Ning, I'll go back first." Shu Qingyue said goodbye.

"I'm going to leave early tomorrow, Miss Satsuki will rest early tonight." Ning Sichen watched Shu Qingyue leave. It's because the military uniform she wears is too big, and her back after she turns around looks even more petite.

Shu Qingyue had already left, but Ning Sichen was still staring at the direction of the tent for a long time.

On the other side, Shu Qingyue met Ye Xiangquan outside the tent. The two looked at each other, and she lowered her head and hurried away.

Ye Xiangquan still remembered Shu Qingyue, she had been standing next to Yue Rongfei since the salt poisoning before. It's strange to say, Yue Rongfei is a dignified general, but he always takes a soldier with him? Also, what did a soldier do when he came to Ning Sichen? Ye Xiangquan turned his head and looked in the direction where Shu Qingyue had gone, something was confusing in his heart.

couldn't figure it out, Ye Xiangquan entered the military tent.

"General, is that soldier just now, is it the soldier who was with Yue Rongfei the old man?" As soon as Ye Xiangquan entered, he asked about Shu Qingyue.

Ning Sichen didn't speak, and Ye Xiangquan took him as a default.

"What did he come to the general for?" Ye Xiangquan asked again.

"She came to deliver a message to Yue Rongfei." Ning Sichen did not tell Ye Xiangquan the truth. Since the previous incident of salt poisoning, knowing that Ye Xiangquan had given orders to Ning Feixue, Ning Sichen had been guarding against Ye Xiangquan in private. He didn't want his sister to sink any further. Without waiting for Ye Xiangquan to ask again, Ning Sichen changed the topic. "The dead have all been disposed of?"

The dead that Ning Sichen said were enemy soldiers. Whether it is their own side or the enemy's side, the soldiers are only carrying out orders, not the initiators, and they cannot be exposed to the wilderness.

"It's all buried." Ye Xiangquan said that he came here to report this matter to Ning Sichen.

Actually, many times, Ye Xiangquan didn't understand Ning Sichen very much. Just like this time, they are all enemies, and if they die, they will die, so why bother digging a pit and burying them all. Even if Ning Sichen didn't do this, as soon as they left here, the enemy should come back to collect the corpses. Yes, Ye Xiangquan is not sure about this, he can only say that he should.

"Let's go down." Ning Sichen asked Ye Xiangquan to step down.

In the middle of the night, the rain that had been held back for a day finally fell, and the rain was pouring down and crackling on the roof of the tent, as if a hole had been opened in the sky, and the rain behind the clouds fell at once. Occasionally, it is accompanied by a few thunders and lightning. In the wilderness, such a rainy night with thunder and lightning is indeed a little scary.

The candle burning in Yue Rongfei's tent suddenly went out, and the surroundings suddenly became pitch black, and he couldn't see Wuzhi Mountain.

Outside the tent, there was a deafening sound of rain, and even the earth seemed to tremble. Yue Rongfei fell asleep on his clothes and turned back and forth twice, and when he opened his eyes, he rarely had a time when he couldn't sleep.

"Miss." Yue Rongfei called Shu Qingyue softly.

Shu Qingyue didn't react.

Yue Rongfei turned over several times and found a more suitable sleeping position before closing his eyes.

It was a long time later, and Shu Qingyue opened her eyes. She lay on the couch and listened quietly to the roaring rain outside.

However, someone took advantage of the rainy night and rode out of Ning Sichen's camp alone. But he didn't run far, only heard the sound of a sharp weapon piercing the thick rain in the air, and the man on the horse fell to the ground, and he had a blood-stained arrow stuck in his chest, and the continuous rain hit him, and the blood was diluted at once. Then out of the bushes came another man, the night was too dark to see the man's appearance, and he saw the man crouch down and take out a letter from the bosom of the dead man who had fallen to the ground. The sealed letter was already wet, and the man did not look at it, tore it to shreds, and rode away on another horse.

The storm is surging, and there is no place for peace.

The next morning, after the rain, the weather was unexpectedly clear.

The army marched normally, and there was no enemy attack along the way, perhaps because the enemy thought that the army had burned all the grain and grass, and the task was completed, and they all went back.

In the afternoon of the next day, the army arrived at the city of Shanyang.

As soon as they entered the city, Yue Rongfei, Shu Qingyue, and Ning Sichen hurried to their camp.

General Deng Chenglin, who was guarding the city, heard that the reinforcements had arrived, and immediately went to greet him. Deng Chenglin saw Yue Rongfei from a distance, but he was surprised by Ning Sichen, who came with him. Why is Ning Sichen here?

"General Deng."

"General Yue."

Approaching, Yue Rongfei and Deng Chenglin called each other.

"General Deng, how is the current battle situation in Shan Yang City?" Yue Rongfei didn't have any greetings and asked directly.

"Him?" Deng Chenglin was referring to Ning Sichen.

Almost all the soldiers in Chu Hui* have some prejudices or wariness of Ning Sichen, and Deng Chenglin is no exception.

And for these, Ning Sichen has long been accustomed to it.

When outsiders were present, Shu Qingyue rarely spoke, she would stand aside silently, quietly observing and listening to Yue Rongfei's conversation with them. She is not a flamboyant person, when she is quiet, it is like the surface of the lake on a moonlit night, the wind and waves are calm, however, a pair of extraordinarily black and white eyes are like watching fire.

Shu Qingyue looked at Ning Sichen, his cold face was secretive, and it was difficult to see what he was thinking in his heart.

Ning Sichen, what do you want to say? He is indeed different from ordinary people. He can bear a great infamy for distrusting his king, let others misunderstand and ignore him, and do not argue, explain or get angry, as if what others think of him has nothing to do with him. As far as Shu Qingyue had the last few contacts with him, she found that he was actually not so difficult to get along with, but he was always indifferent to rejecting people thousands of miles away, and in him, she didn't feel that he had the ambition to chase fame and fortune. He doesn't care about fame or profit, he seems to be just doing his part, and he doesn't care about what others say, but there is nothing that is particularly important to him. Suddenly, Shu Qingyue wanted to know, in Ning Sichen's heart, was there anything he really cared about?

To be honest, Shu Qingyue didn't understand Ning Sichen very well.

By feeling alone, she didn't resist him.

"General Ning is the supreme commander of this reinforcement." Yue Rongfei explained simply, and seeing that Deng Chenglin was a little confused, he added another sentence. "The Emperor's will."

Deng Chenglin naturally believed Yue Rongfei's words, but looking at Ning Sichen's eyes, there was still something strange.

It was in the end that Deng Chenglin looked at Shu Qingyue beside Yue Rongfei, but he felt that she was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere? Deng Chenglin has been following Shu Shengxuan and knows Shu Qingyue. He still looked at Shu Qingyue, thinking hard, and finally, he thought that she was very much like the marshal's daughter.
