Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 417 Embarrassment
After getting a definite answer from Gu Sheng, the young general was very excited.

During this period of time, he has been guarding here, and he feels that he is going crazy.

"Thank you Counselor Gu." Hurrying to salute Gu Sheng, seeing the excitement on his face, Gu Sheng laughed a little.

"It's done. I'll leave first. Come back in two days. You can work harder." After explaining a few words, Gu Sheng left on horseback.

Knowing that Shen Xiao was in the barracks, Gu Sheng hesitated for a while, and went to find Shen Xiao. Anyway, he should report the progress of this matter to him.

Shen Xiao was discussing matters with other soldiers, when he heard the report from outside the tent, he ordered Gu Sheng to enter the tent.

Seeing a lot of people there, Gu Sheng greeted them, found an inconspicuous place, and sat down.

The things being discussed now are related to the city defense of the border. Although she can't get involved in these things, she can listen to them.

After all, the more she knows about the situation inside the border, the more she can think of a solution when something happens.

Seeing Gu Sheng sitting in the corner, Shen Xiao looked away and continued talking with the soldiers.

The city defense of the border will be adjusted every once in a while, this is to prevent the existence of spies in the border.

As long as the opponent cannot control the city defense inside the border, it is not easy to break through the border guards.

Gu Sheng listened carefully from the side, and she found that listening to Shen Xiao discussing these matters with the soldiers, she seemed to be able to get a lot of benefits.

Although in the past, she has gone to the battlefield with her elders, but the number of times can be counted.

She does have some cleverness, and she has read a lot of military books, but many of them are from books, not from practice.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is useless to rely only on the theory in the book of war. It also needs the experience gained from practice, so as to be able to make better plans.

While Shen Xiao was talking to the soldiers, occasionally, he would glance at Gu Sheng and see that she was listening very seriously, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

After the discussion is complete, Shen Xiao will assign the task, and he will personally inspect it when the time comes.

The lieutenants, who had received his orders, left the military tent with his order. At this time, Gu Sheng was still immersed in the topic just now.

"Haven't recovered yet?" Crouching in front of Gu Sheng, Shen Xiao smiled and said, Gu Sheng suddenly recovered, saw the face so close, and backed away in fright.

She was sitting on the chair, retreating so quickly that the chair lost its balance in an instant, and she fell to the ground with her.

Shen Xiao didn't expect to startle her. Seeing that she was about to fall, he quickly reached out and grabbed her arm, bringing her towards him.

Gu Sheng wasn't heavy at all, Shen Xiao used all his strength, she just felt a strong force hit her, and she bumped into Shen Xiao's chest.

Fortunately, Shen Xiao was not wearing any armor, otherwise, she would have had a nose bleed all of a sudden.

Even so, her nose still hurts. After all, Shen Xiao has been exercising all year round and has been in the army. His body is very strong, and his chest is hard.

"Are you okay?" Letting go of Gu Sheng, Shen Xiao nervously checked her situation, except for a little red nose, there was nothing unusual.

"It's okay, thank you General." Rubbing his nose, Gu Sheng thanked her, because her nose was hurt and her eye circles were a little red, which was a subconscious reaction.

"It's fine." Shen Xiao stared at Gu Sheng's red eye circles, even though he said so, he still blamed himself a little.

If it weren't for being so close, maybe Gu Sheng wouldn't have been frightened, and the following things wouldn't have happened.

The point is, he didn't expect Gu Sheng to be so careless, nor did he expect that he would scare her.

"I overreacted too much, please don't blame the general." Gu Sheng's voice came, apologetic. If she hadn't had a ghost in her heart and reacted so strongly, what happened later would not have happened.

Both of them felt sorry in their hearts, and for a while, the atmosphere in the tent was a little awkward.

"That... I went there just now and talked to their people."

"You came to me, what's the matter?"

Gu Sheng felt that she was the one who caused this situation and should be remedied by her, so she spoke first, but unexpectedly, Shen Xiao spoke at the same time as her.

For a while, the atmosphere became awkward again. Gu Sheng was thinking about how to continue the topic, while Shen Xiao was thinking about how to follow Gu Sheng's words.

"Ahem..." In the end, Shen Xiao spoke first. In order to prevent the two from speaking in sync again, he coughed twice, "Well, what's the result of the conversation?"

"Well... It's half done. Among them, there is a leader named Tuna. I talked to her. I gave her a two-day deadline to go back and discuss. After two days, a decision will be made. "

Following Shen Xiao's words, Gu Sheng took it and told Shen Xiao what he was going to report.

"Success, then wait for two days to see how they choose." Shen Xiao didn't know what choice Gu Sheng gave Tuna, he believed that it was beneficial to them.

"Things in the military camp are almost over. Otherwise, let's go back to the general's mansion together?" When he spoke again, Shen Xiao felt that there was always a bit of embarrassment in the military tent.

After hearing what he said, Gu Sheng responded, she just planned to go back to the General's Mansion to make sure of one thing.

The two of them left the military tent together and walked towards their respective horses. On the way back to the General's Mansion, neither of them spoke, as if they both had something on their minds.

The steward was at the gate of the general's mansion, and he saw Shen Xiao and Gu Sheng from a distance.

Seeing that the expressions of the two were a bit wrong, the steward couldn't help but think of the clothes he saw in Gu Sheng's yard when he woke up early. Could it be that the two had quarreled so quickly?

In the steward's mind, a lot of pictures were filled in his brain. He always felt that the expression of the two of them was wrong at this time, which had something to do with their residence.

This morning, he saw the general leaving his yard with his own eyes, but by chance, the general's coat appeared in Counselor Gu's yard.

Could it be... After the two got close last night, the general was afraid that people would find out, so he went back to his yard late at night?Then this morning I wanted to persuade Counselor Gu to move to his yard, but Counselor Gu was unwilling?

Under the strange look in the steward's eyes, Shen Xiao and Gu Sheng arrived in front of the General's Mansion. The two got off their horses and walked towards the General's Mansion together.

I don't know if it's because of their own concerns, but neither of them greeted the steward, which made the steward more sure that there must be something awkward between the two of them.

He ordered the horses to be led to the backyard, and the steward followed them.

Because Gu Sheng wanted to confirm some things, he went directly to the backyard. Shen Xiao wanted to say something, but because Gu Sheng left, he had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips.

He watched Gu Sheng walk away, thought for a while, and ran straight to the study.

The steward behind him looked at Gu Sheng's back, and then at Shen Xiao's back, with a sad expression on his face.
