After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

By the time the soldiers had dealt with the bodies of those who ambushed them, it was already dark.

Xiang Hongxuan ordered his men to set up camp on the spot.

As usual, Shen Jinyao did not go to get dinner tonight.

She didn't go to get food and no one cared about her.

After Shen Zhiyong gave Shen Jinyao steamed buns twice and was rejected by her, he never gave her any more.

Because Shen Jinyao said that she had plenty of ways to get enough food.

Something was strange today. Not only did the soldiers not give Shen Jinyao food, they were also whispering to each other.

"What do you think of this Mr. Shen? Who is his background?"

"Should it be the General's friend?"

"Or maybe he's a relative of the general?"

"Is it possible..."

"What's the problem?"

Seeing everyone looking at her, the person whispered, "It's just... have you ever heard of the term 'Duanxiu'?"

"what?"

"What is a cut-sleeve?"

"Don't talk nonsense. If the deputy general hears it, it's okay. But if the general hears it, you will die a miserable death."

"I didn't say the general was gay, I said..."

"I'm not talking nonsense. Don't you think this Mr. Shen is weird?"

"What's weird?"

"I feel weird too."

"that is……"

"Sometimes a bit effeminate."

"Bah! Who said that? Have you forgotten the time when Master Shen killed the enemy alone?"

"Yes, Mr. Shen is not a woman."

"I know what you are talking about. I have also seen Master Shen's skills. What I mean is..."

"What I mean is that Mr. Shen is a strange person, with a lot of things to do, which makes him seem very pretentious..."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was the case.

Although some people looked at the general's expression and kept giving Mr. Shen some advice.

But Master Shen ignored those people and continued to do his own thing.

He didn't seem to be affected in any way.

He was still dressed cleanly and didn't seem to be thirsty or hungry.

Master Shen never showed any fear towards General Xiang.

There have been more and more such remarks in the past two days, as if someone was spreading them.

"Hey, Mr. Shen, go get some water."

I saw a team leader giving orders to Shen Jinyao.

"See? Captain One has started again."

It turned out that during this period of time, it was the team leader who had been saying bad things about Shen Jinyao behind her back.

There was no other reason, he just thought that Shen Jinyao relied on his own skills to make the general order the troops to follow Shen Jinyao's command.

He was about to be promoted to deputy general, and he didn't want anyone to get there first.

Shen Jinyao first glanced at the captain, and she saw that everyone around her was looking at her.

She sighed inwardly.

How come there are so many conspiracies and intrigues in a place full of men?

Just when Shen Jinyao was about to take the bucket, Xiang Hongxuan appeared behind Shen Jinyao.

"Captain One, you go."

"Mr. Shen doesn't have to do this anymore."

The captain was originally a hot-tempered man who refused to accept defeat, and the general's words made him even more dissatisfied.

"General, why? Master Shen has never fetched water, and the soldiers are..."

Xiang Hongxuan asked, "How many enemies did you kill?"

Then Xiang Hongxuan looked at Shen Jinyao's clothes and thought of her helpless expression just now.

He knew what the soldiers were thinking.

The deputy general also talked to him several times.

Before, with the third prince around, no one would pay too much attention to Shen Jinyao.

On the way back, Shen Jinyao hid everything from everyone, and he also heard some people say something nonsense because of this.

He didn't want to care about it before, thinking it was a big deal.

He looked at Shen Jinyao and she didn't seem to be troubled, so he ignored her.

But when he looked at Shen Jinyao just now, he suddenly felt that she should live with her own identity.

He took a step forward.

He said to all the soldiers: "Everyone listen!"

All the soldiers obeyed the order carefully.

Everyone thought Xiang Hongxuan was going to say something important, and everyone's expression became serious.

Shen Jinyao stood behind Xiang Hongxuan.

!

Xiang Hongxuan grabbed Shen Jinyao.

The soldier who just said that Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan were gay had his eyes wide open, as if he thought what he said was right.

He only calmed down after the soldier next to him stepped on him.

Shen Jinyao glanced at Xiang Hongxuan holding her hand, and didn't know what General Xiang was going to say, so she didn't move.

"This is Miss Shen, from Wuming Village. Miss Shen is very skilled, as you have all witnessed."

"I've heard a lot of rumors about Miss Shen recently. Miss Shen is here to help us and is our comrade!"

"Did you hear everything clearly?"

……

Xiang Hongxuan’s answer was silence.

No one reacted.

what?

Mr. Shen?

No, Miss Shen.

This turned out to be a girl.

"Did you hear that clearly?!"

Xiang Hongxuan asked again loudly, with terrifying majesty in his voice.

"I hear you clearly, General!"

Everyone looked at Shen Jinyao carefully again, and Xiang Hongxuan subconsciously blocked Shen Jinyao.

Shen Jinyao stood in front of Xiang Hongxuan.

"Excuse me everyone, I didn't mean to hide anything. You don't have to treat me differently just because I'm a woman. I've killed just as many people as you have."

"If anyone still refuses to accept this, you can challenge me directly. You are always welcome."

"General, I'm going to get some water."

Although Shen Jinyao didn't know why Xiang Hongxuan wanted to reveal her identity, and although he didn't say that she was from the exiled Marquis' Mansion.

But saying that she is a woman is indeed a bit tricky in the military camp.

So Shen Jinyao’s thoughts were relatively simple.

Since there are those who are not convinced, then beat them into submission.

Shen Jinyao was about to take the bucket, but the man didn't give it to her.

"Ah, Mr. Shen, no, Miss Shen, I'll go fight."

The deputy general looked at Xiang Hongxuan and saw that he didn't say anything.

"Everyone, disperse! Anyone who keeps gossiping will be punished with a military stick!"

"Yes!!"

Everyone dispersed.

Some people were so surprised that they didn't react yet, while others found it unbelievable.

Some people even wondered how Shen Jinyao looked like a woman.

"General Xiang, what does this mean?"

Xiang Hongxuan looked at Shen Jinyao and saw that she was a little confused, with some anger in her eyes.

Suddenly I felt a little funny.

"It's nothing. You're a woman anyway. You don't have to work yourself hard here. Isn't it good to be yourself?"

Shen Jinyao opened her mouth, wanting to say that she was not tired.

But the restraint on her chest told her that it was still a bit difficult.

And a change of clothes every time.

Although there is space, there are also many things to worry about.

Xiang Hongxuan waited for Shen Jinyao to speak, but found her unusual silence.

"Well, I just thought it would be more convenient to pretend to be a man. Besides, there would be less gossip and trouble, and it would be easier to kill people this way..."

"Need not."

"what?"

"Just keep dressing as a man... whatever you want to do, that's all."

Shen Jinyao looked at Xiang Hongxuan's receding back and fell into deep thought.
