Chapter 171 Rumors seem to have grown wings

When Ruan Ningxiang went to see General Xiao Shen in the middle of the night, she was seen by the patrolling soldiers and spread the news.

The rumor seemed to have grown wings. No matter what the original truth was, it was finally rumored that Ruan Ningxiang wanted to seduce and knocked on General Shen's door late at night.

The first person to hear rumors about this was the half-grown boy Wang Huansheng who was brought from Nanhai.

Wang Huansheng has been following Ah Yue. Ever since Ruan Ningxiang came here, Ah Yue only brought a bandit army with her.

Among them, most of the troops followed Xiao Wu and stayed in Yanhui City to defend the city.

Wang Huansheng usually behaves well and abides by his duties. Today, when he heard them talking about Zhao'an County Lord, he got angry on the spot and started fighting with that person.

When the soldier was beaten, someone came to help him. Finally, the topic turned to the bandit soldiers, and it turned into a fight between the two parties.

The movement here alarmed both Ruan Ningxiang and General Xiao Shen.

The scorching sun burned the parched ground. Under a crooked-neck Elaeagnus tree, soldiers in military uniforms, with colorful faces and torn clothes, stood in two teams.

Ruan Ningxiang raised her eyes slightly, and looked over with a cold look, "You said he struck first, then let me ask you, why did he hit you?"

With one question, the soldier who was beaten the worst was rendered speechless.

Shen Lichuan on the side wanted to speak, but Ruan Ningxiang gave him a sharp look, and his mouth that he just opened slowly closed again.

Ruan Ningxiang sneered coldly: "What's wrong? I can't speak out? When words spread behind my back, aren't they all more powerful than the tongue-tied woman? Now, I'm standing in front of you, and you've all become mute again?"

The soldiers present, you peeked at me, I peeked at you, and finally I peeked at General Shen, who they called the Living King of Hell, but did not dare to speak in front of a little girl.

I was convinced that the relationship between these two people was definitely unusual, and in this unusual way, it could be seen that General Shen was actually a man who was afraid of his wife.

The scorching sun roasted each of the soldiers like wilted chickens with their necks shrunken, and all of them lowered their heads.

"Since you can't say it, just stand here and think about it!" Ruan Ningxiang walked up to Ah Yue and ordered, "A Yue, take a few of them and bandage them."

They refer to bandit soldiers.

Ah Yue led the others and praised the big black boy Wang Huansheng: "It was a good fight."

Su He glanced at him and said, "You are still encouraging me."

A Yue was frightened for a moment.

Shen Jiajun, who was still standing under the bright sun, looked at the group of bandit soldiers who were beating people being led away like this. He felt dissatisfied and resentment was written on his face.

General Shen's usually sharp eyes fell on Ruan Ningxiang, and there seemed to be some emotions hidden in his eyes that he himself was not aware of, quietly emerging.

Ruan Ningxiang came to him again, her stern gaze disappeared, and she asked in a gentle voice: "I wonder where General Meng is. Can General Shen take me to see him?"

"It should be in his own yard." Shen Lichuan said, "What does General Ruan have to do with General Meng?"

Ruan Ningxiang glanced at the row of standing soldiers and the people watching the excitement from a distance.

She kept two steps away from Shen Lichuan and gestured, "Apply pressure."

Shen Lichuan only saw her flesh-pink lips move, but she made no sound, but he seemed to hear the clear and shallow voice that was unique to women.

He took Ruan Ningxiang and Qi Haolin, the guard who followed her every step of the way, to Mr. Meng's yard.

General Meng actually does not refer to how old he is, but to his military experience. He has been in the army for more than 20 years and has experienced changes in dynasties. He was also the man who led more than 3,000 soldiers to fight out of Lone Wolf Peak alive.

The terrain there is the clearest.

On the road, with no outsiders around, Ruan Ningxiang and Shen Lichuan quietly explained that what they were fighting now was psychological warfare.

Regardless of whether it is Mr. Meng or anyone else, their every move will become the focus of that person's surveillance.

This is one of them.

Secondly, Mr. Meng is the only leading general left when he and Mr. Shen attacked Tianyu. He knows the terrain there better.

Deep down in her heart, Ruan Ningxiang still did not give up on attacking Tianyu.

When Mr. Meng explained to the map what they had experienced that year, Ruan Ningxiang did not miss every key point.

She understands the terrain of Tianyu in detail, as well as the fighting methods of Tianyu people.

Shen Lichuan's eyes fell on Ruan Ningxiang from time to time, and he was always attracted to her invisibly.

When the two came out of Mr. Meng's residence, Shen Lichuan said: "Well, my soldiers are not disciplined strictly by me. I will take them back and deal with them according to military law soon."

Ruan Ningxiang lowered her head and stared at the moving shadow under her feet, "I don't want them to be able to control their mouths but not their hearts. I only blame myself for my bad luck and need to be trapped here for the rest of my life."

There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice, and those helpless emotions seemed to fall on Shen Lichuan's heart, making him feel a little sour for no reason.

He said: "I went to Dao Zhezi and said that you were feeling unwell and applied to return to Beijing to recuperate."

Ruan Ningxiang suddenly stopped and raised her head to face General Shen, "General Shen, why do you think the emperor asked me to come here?"

"Um?"

"You and I are just pawns fighting for other people's rights." Ruan Ningxiang curled her lips helplessly and continued walking forward, "Your soldiers are still standing under the sun. General Shen should take them back first."

Shen Lichuan looked at her small back and slowly clasped his hands.

He had received a letter from the Sixth Prince, asking him to take more care of the Lord of Zhao'an County.

There was something else in the words. Someone in the capital was deliberately targeting her. Who was that person? Was he the current Crown Prince?

So she wants to target the prince by finding out the evildoer?

When Ruan Ningxiang returned to her small courtyard, Wang Huansheng was waiting in the courtyard to receive her punishment.

Since Wang Huansheng came here, he has been following A Yue for more than a year. He has grown up quickly and has become a little more masculine.

But he still looked that silly and naive, standing under the bright sun.

"Straighten your back. If you are a man, show some manliness." Ruan Ningxiang knocked on his hunched back and said, "If you have anything to say, come inside and talk."

Wang Huansheng straightened his back and stood in a military posture, but did not move.

The curtain that Ruan Ningxiang had just raised lowered again, "Why do you also like to bask in the sun?"

"If you do something wrong, you should be punished." Wang Huansheng said.

Ruan Ningxiang came over and said, "Then tell me where I went wrong."

"Wrong..." Wang Huansheng raised his chin, then slowly lowered it.

"I think the fight was good." Ruan Ningxiang looked at the injuries on his face, "However, if I were you, knowing that I was obviously inferior to the opponent, I would not fight him openly. I would secretly find opportunities to give him a fight. He makes little mistakes and makes people unable to figure out who did it."

After saying that, Ruan Ningxiang opened the curtain and entered the room.

In the house.

Su He brought a pot of herbal tea over, "This child is very stubborn. I asked him to come in and said he would wait for you to come back. He has been standing here all afternoon without even drinking water."

"I think it's good. You have backbone and loyalty." Ah Yue smiled and took the initiative to take the cup. "But sometimes she is too stubborn. I'm afraid this character will suffer in the future."
