Chapter 209 Shen Ruolan, is it you who is here?
When Wei Biao heard that it was the Shen family's carriage, he hesitated for a moment and asked his subordinates, "Have you found out who is in the carriage?"
The man told his general truthfully: "General, the first carriage is the eldest son of the Shen family, and the one behind is a woman with two children."
When Wei Biao heard that it was Master Shen, he was silent for a moment and said to his subordinates, "Let them leave and don't disturb them."
If it were someone else, Wei Biao would definitely not let them leave so easily today, but the other party is from Yaowang Valley. Not to mention that he is a general, even the emperor in the palace would give the Shen family some face.
"Yes, General." After the man finished speaking, he returned to his seat and followed the large group.
In the evening, Shen Ruolan and her friends came to a remote town and stayed in a simple inn. Shen Ruolan first helped the two children take a bath, and finally took a comfortable bath herself.
There was no other way. They had to sleep outdoors five out of ten days on the road, which was not something Shen Ruolan, who had to take a shower every day, was used to.
Not long after, when Shen Ruolan finished taking a bath and came out with her two children, Shen Ziqian had already ordered a table of delicious food waiting for them.
Shen Ruolan looked at the soft noodles and egg custard on the dining table, which were specially cooked for her two sons. She said to Shen Ziqian with gratitude, "My eldest cousin is so thoughtful."
Shen Ziqian understood what Shen Ruolan was referring to. He smiled at her and said, "This is what I should do as an uncle."
After saying that, he reached out and pulled the child in Shen Ruolan's arms, teasing them, "We can't let our babies go hungry, right?"
Shen Anhe, with his little hand being held, jumped excitedly in Shen Ruolan's arms.
"Hehe..." Shen Ziqian looked at the happy child in Shen Ruolan's arms and couldn't help laughing out loud.
The children were having a good time, and Shen Ruolan was in a good mood. She looked at Aunt Liu and Aunt Shi and said, "Aunt Liu, Aunt Shi, come here and hold them. I'll feed them."
"Yes, master." After Liu Gu and the other two finished speaking, they quickly reached out to hug the child.
However, both children were clinging to Shen Ruolan's arms, unwilling to let others hold them. Seeing this, Shen Ruolan looked at them and said, "Zheyi, Anhe, you two go to Aunt Liu's arms so that your mother can feed you. Otherwise, you will be hungry later."
After hearing what their mother said, the brother and sister came to Liu Gu's arms reluctantly and started eating noodles cooperatively.
Shen Ruolan was feeding the child, thinking back to the people they met today. She was silent for a moment, then asked Shen Ziqian, "Cousin, what on earth was going on with those groups of soldiers today?"
When Shen Ziqian heard Shen Ruolan asking about the encounter with the army today, he thought for a moment and said, "Sister Lan, that's a military matter, so it's better for us not to ask about it."
The Shen family does not interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, so they do not want to inquire too much. Even if they know what they are going to do, as long as it has nothing to do with Yaowang Valley, they will not intervene.
Shen Ziqian's words made Shen Ruolan pause for a moment, and she responded to him: "My cousin is right."
After she finished speaking, she stopped talking and focused on feeding the children.
At this time, in the capital of Yan State, Mu Jinxuan had just put down his bowl and chopsticks when he heard his subordinates loudly report to him: "Your Highness, there is news about the Shen family."
Mu Jinxuan heard that there was news from the Shen family. He looked at the visitor and asked expectantly, "Tell me quickly, what's the news from the Shen family?"
The messenger reported to Mu Jinxuan truthfully: "To reply to His Royal Highness, there is news from the south that Master Shen was seen returning from Xia Country with a woman."
After hearing what his subordinates said, Mu Jinxuan suddenly stood up and asked, "Is this news true? And what does the woman look like?"
Ding Kang shook his head at Mu Jinxuan and said, "Your Highness, this is not written in the letter."
Mu Jinxuan nodded and said, "Hurry up and reply. Tell the people over there to keep an eye on Master Shen's movements."
"Yes, Your Highness." After Ding Kang finished speaking, he turned around and left.
After Li Heng and the other people who replied to the message left, he looked at his master with a serious expression and asked, "Master, what do you think of the emperor's actions this time?"
Now is the time when there is a shortage of food. In Li Heng's opinion, it is very inappropriate to send troops to attack Bei Ming at this time.
After listening to his subordinates' questions, Mu Jinxuan paused for a moment and said, "Let them do as they please."
Mu Jinxuan naturally knew that it was inappropriate to send troops at this time, but no one would listen to his advice, so as long as he was not sent to lead the troops to fight, he would see nothing.
After all, in the eyes of everyone, he, Mu Jinxuan, was already a useless person who was "terminally ill" and dying, and no one would care about what he said.
After hearing what his master said, Li Heng became a little anxious for him and said, "Master, if you let it go, and Jiang Dichen comes in to kill us, what should we do?"
During the time when the master and servant were looking for medical treatment in Beiming, they saw the miserable situation in Beiming and could be said to be full of confidence in attacking Beiming.
However, when his master recovered from his illness and returned from Beiming, he saw that the people of his country were on par with those in Beiming, and both the master and the servant fell silent.
In this situation, it is not appropriate to send troops to attack others, otherwise, you may end up losing more than you gain.
Mu Jinxuan was silent for a moment and said, "Others will take care of these things. We don't need to think too much."
After Mu Jinxuan finished speaking, he paused and told his subordinates: "Take this opportunity to quickly send a few people to Xia Country to buy more food in case of emergency."
After hearing what his master said, Li Heng breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Yes, Master, I will arrange it right away."
After Li Heng finished speaking, he wiped the sweat from his forehead due to nervousness. Fortunately, his master was not indifferent, otherwise, he would be really worried about his master's situation.
You have to know that in the court, from the emperor to the ministers, no one is optimistic about his master. If any accident happens on the battlefield ahead, his master will definitely be the unlucky one to clean up the stall.
After Li Heng left, Mu Jinxuan put down what he was doing, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the dark night and muttered to himself: "Shen Ruolan, is it you who came?"
After Mu Jinxuan finished speaking, he sighed helplessly in his heart. Why did he have to think about a married woman when there were so many other things he could think about?
However, this is not the point. The point is, who is Shen Ruolan's man? Who hurt her so much that she is wary and disgusted when she sees a man?
Yes, it was disgust. He had irritated her several times, and the way she looked at him was full of unconcealed disgust, which gave him a headache.
After Mu Jinxuan pondered for a long time, he instructed his subordinates outside the door: "Come here, I want to go to Yaowang Valley to seek medical treatment. I will leave early tomorrow morning."
