Empire

The guards quickly brought a basin of cold water, and Chen Ziang washed his face with the sound of rushing water to make himself more sober.

They completed the task of luring the enemy at the risk of their lives, and wiped out the vanguard of the Dynasty Army. It can be said that they won a great victory.

But Chen Ziang was not happy at all at this moment, because he was so dazzled by the victory that he was tricked by someone, which made the Marshal Zhang Dayuan unhappy. It has always been a taboo to be too successful and shock the master. Chen Ziang rose like a dazzling star in the Qinghe Army, and was unstoppable.

Zhang Dayuan made an exception by holding a grand welcoming ceremony for him, but someone took the opportunity to shout"Long live Lieutenant General Chen" and tricked him severely.

"Damn it, it’s really easy to dodge a spear but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark."Chen Ziang couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Although with his ability, he could still thrive even if he left the Qinghe Army.

But he knew that it was good to take shelter under a big tree, and being able to take shelter under the banner of the Qinghe Army could reduce many troubles.

Although the Far East Dynasty is now corrupt, all provinces are in flames, and the court's control over various places is constantly weakening.

However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The strength of the Far East Dynasty is rapidly declining, but they still have elite central army troops, powerful border guards and other troops.

Any of these Far East Dynasty troops would be enough for Chen Ziang to drink a pot, not to mention the numerous rebel armies and local security forces in various places.

If you want to stand out in this chaotic time, you can't fight alone, and you might be destroyed before you get ahead.

Now Chen Ziang is weak, and can only take shelter under the banner of the Qinghe Army to accumulate his own strength.

"It seems that I have to be more careful about Xu Fu and his son in the future."

Every failure makes you wiser. Chen Ziang suffered a loss this time. Although he hated Xu Fu and his son in his heart,

Xu Fu was the third person in the Qinghe Army. He was just a lieutenant general. He was not stupid enough to hit the stone with an egg.

Things have come to the worst result. There is no point in thinking too much. He can only be careful in the future and take one step at a time. Chen Ziang quickly put aside his messy thoughts.

"Come on, go to the kitchen and get me something to eat."

Chen Ziang was fed a lot of wine at the celebration banquet, but he didn't get to eat any delicious food. His stomach was rumbling.

""Yes!"

The guard responded, and the footsteps soon faded away.

Only half an hour later, footsteps were heard again outside.

""Eh? Miss Shen, why are you here?"

Chen Ziang thought that the guards had prepared the food, but it was Shen Xiuxiu who walked into the tent carrying the food box.

Under the soft light, Shen Xiuxiu's pretty face and graceful figure made Chen Ziang's imagination run wild. He was too guilty to meet her eyes.

"I heard that the general was hungry after drinking, so I cooked some porridge for him. Please eat it while it's hot."

Shen Xiuxiu bowed slightly to Chen Ziang, and took out a large bowl of porridge and a dish of side dishes from the food box.

"Miss Shen is thoughtful."

Chen Ziang heard the concern in Shen Xiuxiu's words, and a warm current surged in his heart. After all, it feels good to be cared for.

Chen Ziang was also hungry, so he picked up a big bowl of hot porridge, ate a big mouthful, and immediately felt much better in his stomach.

""Miss Shen, the porridge you cooked is really good." Chen Ziang saw Shen Xiuxiu standing beside him and praised her.

Shen Xiuxiu stroked her hair and replied,"As long as the general likes it, it's good.""

"I wonder if Miss Shen has anything else to say?"

Seeing Shen Xiuxiu who was hesitant to speak, Chen Ziang picked up a piece of small dish and put it in his mouth, and couldn't help but look up and ask.

Shen Xiuxiu glanced at Chen Ziang, bit her teeth, and seemed to have something to hide.

"Miss Shen, please feel free to tell me what you have to say. Did someone bully you?" Chen Ziang asked curiously after inviting Shen Xiuxiu to sit down.

"With the general's support, naturally no one dares to bully us. Thank you for your concern."Shen Xiuxiu thanked him and said

"What is that? Just tell me. If I can help, I will."

The Far East Trading Company run by the Shen family is one of the main sources of military funds for the 9th Battalion. Chen Ziang will naturally take care of the Shen family.

"General, there is one thing I don't know whether I should say or not."

"But it's okay"

"The general is wise and brave, and has led his army to victory in battles. He is well-known in the Qinghe Army and his reputation is at its peak."

Shen Xiuxiu looked at Chen Ziang who was drinking porridge in big mouthfuls, and seemed to have mustered up her courage. She first praised Chen Ziang greatly.

Chen Ziang felt very satisfied to be praised by such a lady, and nodded frequently.

"It's just that tall buildings are easy to fall, and tall trees are easy to break. Please be more low-key in the future to reduce unnecessary trouble."

Shen Xiuxiu quickly changed the subject, and looked at Chen Ziang's face while speaking, ready to shut up at any time.

After hearing what Shen Xiuxiu said, Chen Ziang also looked at Shen Xiuxiu again with an uncertain expression. He didn't expect that Shen Xiuxiu, a lady from a wealthy family, actually understood such a truth.

"This is just a shallow remark from a common woman. If the general finds it unpleasant, he need not pay attention to it.

Shen Xiuxiu was also uncomfortable with Chen Ziang's staring eyes. She tugged at the hem of her skirt with her delicate hands, her heart beating like a child who had done something wrong.

""Miss Shen is right. I, Chen Ziang, have learned a lot."

Chen Ziang retracted his gaze and couldn't help but sighed:"If Miss Shen had reminded me earlier, I wouldn't have suffered a loss today."

Shen Xiuxiu was also quite surprised when she heard what Chen Ziang said. She didn't expect that Chen Ziang himself had realized this.

Shen Xiuxiu also participated in the Hundred Days Welcome Ceremony. When she heard someone shouting"Long live Brigadier General Chen", she realized the problem. So she took the opportunity to send porridge to remind Chen Ziang.

But what Shen Xiuxiu didn't expect was that Chen Ziang had already realized it, and her reminder seemed unnecessary.

"Since the general has already thought of it, I will not say more. Please take a rest as soon as possible. I will take my leave. Shen Xiuxiu said as she stood up and was about to leave.

"Miss Shen, please stay"

"General, do you have any other instructions?"

"There is something I don't understand. I detained your family in my camp, why don't you hate me but want to help me?" Chen Ziang asked.

After hearing this, Shen Xiuxiu couldn't help but smiled bitterly.

"General, what you said is wrong. If you hadn't taken us in, my family would have probably died in the chaos of war. I should be grateful to you, why should I hate you?"

"Furthermore, my Shen family has become a wanted criminal by the court, and now we can only live in Qinghe Army. In the huge Qinghe Army, we are only familiar with the general, and the Far East Chamber of Commerce also relies on the general's support. Our Shen family and you are now in the same boat, and we naturally hope that you will stand firm."

After hearing what Shen Xiuxiu said, Chen Ziang touched his nose and felt that it seemed to be the same.

He thought Shen Xiuxiu was just the daughter of a businessman, but her words at this moment made Chen Ziang re-examine this talented and beautiful lady.
