Women dressed as men: powerful officials

There was a long silence in the room.

The wind outside was getting stronger, rustling the leaves. Shen Yichuan looked at Xu Yuan, and after seeing that Xu Yuan didn't seem too surprised, he recalled what Xu Yuan had said.

He asked, "Do you know how to make a wish?"

"My guess."

After thinking about it, Xuyuan chose the latter between making a joke and finding an excuse.

"How do you guess?"

"Mr. Shen is from Shangjing, so he naturally doesn't know about Sishui County and Geshu tribe."

Xu Yuan spoke slowly and calmly, "The Geshu tribe is brave, but they don't have much food. If the summer is not hot, the harvest can barely make it through the winter. But this year the weather is hot, not to mention that the Geshu tribe has no harvest, even the harvest in Sishui County is not that good. In this case, the Geshu tribe has only one choice, and that is to rob food."

"If you just thought that there might be a war before, then the other thing is that the Geshu tribe had to fight. Mr. Shen, you may not know that your good brother burned more than a dozen camps of the Geshu tribe. If you were the Khan of the Geshu tribe and failed to find the murderer, what would you do?"

Shen Yichuan continued with Xu Yuan's words, "Frame Tianqi."

Making a wish requires careful consideration.

It was so detailed that Shen Yichuan was secretly shocked by Xu Yuan's intelligence, so much so that he didn't even care about the words "your good brother".

"Yes, so I also think that Tianqi and Geshu are going to fight."

After making the wish, she stood up. The wind blew up her shirt and her eyes were determined.

"Some say heroes make the times, others say the times make heroes. I am not a very powerful person who can stir up a storm, but I am not a mayfly that lives in a day and dies in a night. My destiny has never been in my own hands."

"Under the imperial power, most people are mayflies that are born in a morning and die in a evening." Shen Yichuan looked at Xu Yuan with admiration and regret in his eyes.

He admired Xu Yuan for his extraordinary talent at such a young age.

It is a pity that if Xu Yuan is determined not to join Bei Yao, Bei Yao will definitely not let Xu Yuan go.

Talented people are often proud, but there are also many people who have been harmed by their pride.

"I won't. I don't covet power, fame or fortune. I just do what I want to do and protect the people I want to protect."

After finishing his words, Xu Yuan said, "Mr. Shen, please have a rest. I will take my leave now."

"Wait a moment." Shen Yichuan stopped Xu Yuan and said, "Xu Yuan, before I leave, if you have anything else you want to know about the capital, you can ask me."

"You have already repaid me for the city defense map, why are you still helping me?" Xu Yuan was slightly stunned.

"I guess you will definitely come to the capital in the future, and I am also sure that you will become a famous official who will amaze the capital in the future. Therefore, I don't want to miss this opportunity to get to know you."

Shen Yichuan also has his own selfish motives.

On the one hand, Beiyao might use Xuyuan to seize power.

On the other hand, it was because of the jade pendant that Xu Wenxian had shown him.

He didn't believe what Xu Wenxian said, that the jade pendant was taken from a dead person.

Xu Wenxian should be the descendant of the Xu family.

And making a wish, too.

The year he was born was the year when the Xu family was raided and exiled. Although his father never mentioned anything about the Xu family to him, he had heard his father lament more than once. It was a pity that the Xu family was full of loyal heroes.

When he was a child, he didn't understand and even laughed with his playmates on the streets, saying that the Xu family deserved the punishment.

When his father found out about that, he was punished to kneel for a day and a night, and he also swore in front of his mother's tablet that he would never slander the Xu family again.

From then on, he vaguely felt that the relationship between the Shen family and the Xu family was different.

But no one told him what the details were. Just like the Xu family case was a taboo in the capital, the Xu family was also the biggest taboo in the Shen family.

"Mr. Shen's joke is a little too funny."

Xu Yuan didn't believe it, but after saying this, she still said, "If I meet Mr. Shen in the future when I go to Beijing, Mr. Shen must not tell me that he knows me."

"Why?"

"Because I don't know how to curry favor with the rich and powerful. I don't want to be your ally, let alone your opponent."

The voice of making a wish is shallow.

The last thing she wanted was for the Shen family to be involved.

Therefore, she will definitely stay away from the Shen family.

After saying this, Xu Yuan left. After leaving the teahouse, she looked up and saw Shen Yichuan still watching from the second floor. She slightly suppressed her thoughts and murmured, "How strange."

Since she came back from the desert, Shen Yichuan seemed like a different person.

There is something strange everywhere.

Xu Yuan walked away without giving it much thought.

On the second floor, Shen Yichuan looked at Xu Yuan's back and hesitantly took out the two letters from his sleeve.

He did not leave Sishui County, nor did he open the letter.

But now, he wanted to open it and see what secrets were hidden inside.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Yichuan closed the door and window, and under the candlelight, opened the letter that should have been given to his father.

Brother Shen, I am glad to see you.

Fifteen years have passed since we last parted.

Now I am living in a corner, working as an idle teacher. My life is hard but uneventful, which is a blessing.

A few days ago, I heard that a Mr. Shen from the capital had come here. I guessed that he should be the son of the Shen family, so I wrote a letter in advance, dared to meet him, and asked him to take the letter and give it to Brother Shen.

I will never forget the kindness that the Shen family showed me in the past. Times have changed and I shouldn't have disturbed my brother and ruined his leisure time. But as a parent, I must always consider my children again and again.

I have a son named Yuan. He has lofty ambitions and will go to Beijing one day. I am afraid that he will be depressed and suffer grievances in the capital, so I hope Brother Shen can take good care of him.

What happened yesterday is a thing of the past and should not be passed on to the next generation. I do not want my son to experience it again in my lifetime, so I hope Brother Shen will keep the things of the past a secret and not tell my son about it to avoid complications.

This summer, the weather is hot and the harvest in Sishui County is poor. I am worried that the bandits in the north will take the opportunity to move south. If Sishui is not in chaos when Brother Shen sees this letter, I would like to ask Brother Shen to pay more attention and hope that a disaster can be avoided.

In addition, the jade pendant that the Third Miss gave me earlier will be given to my son when he goes to Beijing. Firstly, it is to give Brother Shen a token of recognition, and secondly, I hope that the jade pendant can be returned intact.

As winter approaches, please take care.

Even after reading the last few words, Shen Yichuan's heart could not calm down for a long time.

This letter does not mention the Xu family at all.

But the Xu family is hidden everywhere.

A discerning person can see it at a glance.

The reason Xu Wenxian didn't mention the Xu family was because he was afraid that the letter would fall into the wrong hands and implicate the Shen family.

But Brother Shen and his younger brother revealed everywhere that the writer of this letter had a very close relationship with the Shen family.

Shen Yichuan looked at the letter in his hand, speechless for a long time.

He couldn't give this letter to his father.

Similarly, he couldn't tell Bei Yao about this.

If Beiyao knew that Xu Yuan was really a descendant of the Xu family, he would definitely do everything he could to allow Xu Yuan to become his disciple.

At that time, if you don't want to make a wish, then there is only one way out, and that is death.

Shen Yichuan also had a premonition that when Xu Yuan went to the capital, the situation in the capital would definitely change.

Xuyuan is not a hero created by the times.

He is the hero, and he has been waiting for an opportunity to stir up the storm.
