Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 296 First Meeting
Gu Sheng raised his head and looked at the plaque above. This is the General's Mansion at the Northwest Frontier Pass.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Sheng raised his foot and walked towards the general's mansion. The guards at the door stopped her.

"I would like to ask the two of you to help me with the report. I said that I will bring the emperor's letter and come to find General Shen."

Clasping his fist at the guard, Gu Sheng lowered his voice and said, the guard at the door looked her up and down, told her to wait here, and then turned and entered the general's mansion.

Seeing the guards entering, Gu Sheng waited patiently. She was glad that she listened to the emperor and took the letter from him. Otherwise, no one would pay attention to her. It would not be easy for her to enter the barracks.

Although there are frequent battles at the northwest frontier, the soldiers who can be called are all from all over the world, and there has never been a precedent for recruiting troops halfway.

If Gu Sheng didn't take the emperor's letter, even if she was talented or capable of fighting, the barracks would not accept her, and might even arrest her.

After all, this is the northwest border, and the border city is home to many tribes and countries that are eyeing Daxing. Who can guarantee that the one who wants to enter the barracks is not a spy sent by the enemy?
The guards came out quickly and brought Gu Sheng into the General's Mansion. Shen Xiao was not there, so she was placed in an empty room in the front yard for the time being.

The person she was looking for was not there, so Gu Sheng had no choice but to obey the arrangement. Fortunately, there was water in the room, so she could drink it when she was thirsty.

After waiting until the evening, Gu Sheng thought, she might be staying in the general's mansion tonight. She was thinking about the situation at home, but she also understood that once she entered the military camp, she wanted to go home in the future. , it is not easy.

"Tuk tuk tuk!" There was a knock on the door, interrupting Gu Sheng's thoughts. She got up and opened the door.

"The general hasn't come back yet, why don't you eat something first." It was a guard who came, and he was the one who brought Gu Sheng into the general's mansion and settled her down.

After thanking him, Gu Sheng took the tray in his hand, turned and went back to the room, the guard glanced at him, turned and left.

Sitting at the table, Gu Sheng ate something. Although it was just simple food, she still ate it with relish.

Being outside is no better than the imperial palace. In the past, she was a queen, and as long as she wanted to eat delicacies from mountains and seas, someone would bring them to her.

When she was in the palace before, she would also be very restrained. She was born in a family of generals, and was influenced by her elders since she was a child, so she didn't have high requirements for food and clothing.

The elders often told her that if she endured hardship, she would be more likely to survive on the battlefield. The conditions on the battlefield were far more difficult than she had imagined.

If you are used to living a life of rich clothes and fine food, when you are on the battlefield, let alone killing the enemy, survival is a problem.

She kept everything the elders said in her heart. Over the years, she had always been very strict with herself. Every morning, she insisted on getting up early, doing a set of boxing, or a set of kung fu.

At that time, I never thought that I could go out of the palace, but I just thought that doing so would be good for my health.

Because of this, after leaving the palace, she can still adapt to the hard life.

When she just left the palace, she was fine in the carriage, but Zhishu and Zhihua couldn't stand it anymore.

However, along the way, the two got used to a lot, after all, they were the people who had been with her for many years.

After eating, Gu Sheng stood up and walked around the house. She wanted to go outside, but she was afraid that she would be missed too much.

Someone came to collect the things and prepared water for her so that she could wash up.

It was completely dark, Gu Sheng was sitting in the room, not feeling sleepy, she didn't know when the general Shen Xiao would come back, and she didn't know how he would react after reading the letter.

She wanted to stay, to go to the battlefield, and to feel the joy of killing the enemy on the battlefield again.

These are not found in the palace. In the harem, there are some bloodless fights. Compared with the battlefield, it may be more terrifying.

As the night gradually deepened, Gu Sheng lay on the bed, not feeling sleepy at all.

There was a sudden noise in the yard, and a torch lit up the front yard. Gu Sheng sat up from the bed with a bang.

Putting on his shoes, Gu Sheng walked quickly to the door and opened the door.

Under the light of the torch, the young general in armor was walking towards her.

Gu Sheng looked at him, feeling a little dazed.

The young general was Shen Xiao. Today he led his soldiers out of the northwest border and strangled a tribe that had been harassing the people in the border.

Because of his command, not many soldiers were injured. Although there was blood on his face, it belonged to someone else.

Seemingly noticing that someone was looking at him, Shen Xiao raised his head and looked towards Gu Sheng. His eyes were so bright in the dark night that they seemed to be able to shine into people's hearts.

Seeing Gu Sheng, he couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, because he was so unfamiliar, he walked towards her with scrutiny in his eyes.

There is an aura on Shen Xiao's body, which is different from that of an emperor, even Gu Sheng can't describe it, what kind of feeling it is.

"Who are you?" When Gu Sheng was approaching, a deep voice came. Gu Sheng looked at him and didn't recover for a while.

After being a queen for many years, this was the first time that her aura was overwhelmed by another person.

"Report to the general, this person claims to have a letter from the emperor, and came to see the general."

On the side, the guard opened his mouth and informed Shen Xiao of Gu Sheng's identity.

"The emperor's letter?" Gu Sheng glanced at the guards, looked away, and looked at Gu Sheng again, "Where's the letter?"

Generally speaking, when the emperor writes letters to Shen Xiao alone, there will be a special person to deliver them. Shen Xiao knows that person, but he has never seen the one in front of him.

However, compared with the messengers before, she looked very delicate.

Although there was a torch, it was late at night. Gu Sheng was considered tall among women, but he was still a long way short in front of Shen Xiao.

She made a disguise, her Adam's apple can be seen, and her chest is bound. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to tell that she is a woman.

"Here is the letter." He took out the letter from the emperor from his cuff, and handed it to Shen Xiao. At this time, Gu Sheng had completely recovered, and she admired the General Shen in front of him.

Looking at him, it was like seeing the Gu Jiajun back then. His aura was unmatched by others.

Seeing her take out the letter, Shen Xiao reached out to take it, he lifted his foot, walked into Gu Sheng's room, and lit the oil lamp.

Using the light, Shen Xiao read the letter. After reading it, he raised his head and looked at Gu Sheng.

"Do you want to join the army?" You can get the emperor to write a letter of recommendation, which shows that this person is unusual, and Shen Xiao asked Gu Sheng with a deep voice.

"Yes." Nodding his head, Gu Sheng answered very concisely.

"What can you do?" After asking this question, Shen Xiao waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to speak, "Well, tomorrow morning you will compete with me, and if you can do a few tricks under my hands, I will accept you."
