As time passed, Shen Lingxi counted the days, and soon it was the fourth year of Shen Yunxi's departure, Chinese New Year's Eve.

As in previous years, Shen Fu prepared a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and invited the heads of each house and their children to participate.

Shen Lingxi's cultivation is not so eye-catching now, so the dinner table is more of a praise for Shen Lingxi's alchemy talisman making.

After three rounds of drinking, Uncle Shen Aotian's face was a little bad, and he felt a little lonely, as if he had something in his heart.

Shen Aofeng in the third room saw that the eldest brother seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked out loud in front of everyone.

"Big brother, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the family is having a lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, if you have any troubles, you may want to say it, let us all share some for the big brother." ”

Of course, Shen Ziyan also saw that there was something wrong with her eldest brother Shen Aotian's face, but Shen Ziyan never cared about the affairs of the Shen Mansion, she just wanted to teach and raise Shen Lingxi wholeheartedly to grow up, and she only pretended not to know about other things.

"Fourth brother, the eldest brother is a little disappointed today, and I really don't want to go. Alas, but since the death of the first emperor and the queen came to power, my Feng country has been attacked by neighboring countries one after another. After several years of encroachment, the beacon fire on the border has not stopped. Especially in the Xuanwu Kingdom in the south, relying on the Xuanwu mine, people's attack magic weapons are becoming more and more powerful, and the number is terrifying!"

Speaking of this, Shen Aotian picked up a glass of wine, drank it all as soon as he raised his head, and then said sadly and angrily: "The queen's excessive requirements for the Xuanwu Kingdom have always been to meet them as much as possible, but every time she gets in exchange for the Xuanwu Kingdom. Nanxi County, Dongcang County, Donghua County, and Gaoling County successively fell under the control of the Xuanwu Kingdom. The Canglong Kingdom in the north also took the opportunity to go south, and the border was lost in many places. It is also because we are in the hinterland of Runan County that we can temporarily avoid the flames of war......"

In fact, everyone knows the current situation of Fengguo, seeing that the eldest brother is worried about the country's affairs, Shen Aofeng doesn't know how to comfort him, so he can only take a glass of wine and drink it all.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a little solemn.

Shen Ziyan was already dissatisfied with the coup d'état launched by the queen a few years ago, and now she doesn't know which country Lin Feng fled to, and she really doesn't have much affection for the current people in power in Feng Kingdom, so she pretends not to know anything, and continues to eat food without a bite.

After a period of silence, Shen Aotian suddenly said: "Elder Zhang Tiande of the Secret Guard has returned to Runan this time, and I heard that some people will be selected to go to the Xuanwu Occupied Area to wait for an opportunity to lurk. I've been notified, they've chosen Lingxi!"

The originally harmonious atmosphere of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was suddenly made tense by Shen Aotian's words.

Shen Ziyan originally hung up high and didn't care about herself, but when she suddenly heard Lingxi's name, she reacted, and then stood up angrily and slapped the table.

"What are you talking about, big brother, are you saying that the elder of the Zhang family of the secret guard chose our Lingxi to go to the Xuanwu Kingdom occupation area. Why don't you refute it, when will it be the turn of our Shen family to call the shots. I don't agree!"

Shen Ziyan heard what Shen Aotian meant, and wanted Shen Lingxi to leave Runan to go to the dangerous enemy occupation area, and she panicked in her heart, and she couldn't care about the Chinese New Year's Eve meal or the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and turned her face on the spot.

Shen Lingxi is the only orthodox bloodline of the Feng Kingdom's royal family, and Lin Feng asked her to raise Shen Lingxi as an adult, now that Shen Lingxi is only twelve years old, she will be conscripted to do a hidden mission in the dangerous enemy occupation area, this Shen Ziyan is absolutely unacceptable.

Seeing Shen Ziyan's angry face and resolute attitude of refusal, Shen Aotian also spread his hands helplessly.

"How could I want my nephew Lingxi to go to the occupied area of the Xuanwu Kingdom, but Zi Yan, you also know, I am just the former army of Runan County now, and I can afford to say a few words in Runan. But the second eldest of the Zhang family has now climbed to the high position of the elder of the royal secret guard. And I heard that Zhang Lao Er came back with an edict to recruit people this time, and we really can't refuse this. ”

Shen Ziyan now understands that the eldest brother's sigh at this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was specially made for her.

"Why does the second eldest of the Zhang family choose us Lingxi, can't he let others go......?

The more Shen Ziyan spoke, the more angry she became, so she pointed at Shen Aotian's nose and coldly said her guess.

"Sure enough, it's a good son of the uncle, back then, your big house forced me to marry, and now your big house is forcing me Lingxi to fight against you. That Xuanwu National Bingfeng is winning, Lingxi is only twelve years old, what role can he play when he goes to the occupied area. Isn't this letting Lingxi go to death! I think this is because the Zhang family is jealous that our Shen family has produced a junior talent like Lingxi, so they want to get rid of our Lingxi by all means. Anyway, I don't agree with Lingxi to go, if you want to go to the eldest brother, let your son Shen Lingxiao go!"

Shen Ziyan felt that her analysis was very correct, first of all, the Zhang family deliberately made trouble for their Shen family this time, and secondly, the eldest brother Shen Aotian was reluctant to let his sister-in-law go, so he pushed Shen Lingxi out.

Shen Aotian saw that the third sister used the events of the year to blame Dafang again, and he felt even more guilty, but the truth was not what Shen Ziyan thought, so he explained the details one by one.

"Third sister, don't get too excited. Things are not what you think at all, this time the second child of the Zhang family came back and even Zhang Xueqin of their Zhang family was going to be taken away. As for why Lingxi was chosen, one is because Lingxi didn't grow up in Runan, and many people don't know much about Lingxi's background, and the other is that Lingxi has extraordinary talents, whether in cultivation or other aspects. In short, the Zhang family feels that Lingxi is the key candidate for this mission, so Lingxi may have to go this time. ”

Shen Aotian saw that Shen Ziyan wanted to get angry again, so he hurriedly added: "This time I went to the occupied area, in fact, Lingxi is the safest, and that Zhang Lao Er and I have already made a ...... to the bottom."

Shen Aotian saw that this matter was designed to be some secrets, and it was also for Lingxi's safety in the future, so he walked to Shen Ziyan's side and continued to communicate with Shen Ziyan in a low voice.

"What, go and be a son......" Shen Ziyan was a little surprised, so she said a few words in surprise.

"Shhh, small voice, this is confidential, and it is also related to the safety of Lingxi in the future. ”

Shen Aotian was a little surprised when he saw Shen Ziyan, so he hurriedly stopped Shen Ziyan from continuing.

Seeing that this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner could not be eaten, Shen Aofeng and Shen Aojun took the rest of the children down, leaving only Shen Lingxi still sitting in the dining room.
