"Originally, I planned to find Haowen and tell him everything, but those people blocked my way back to the barracks, as if they knew my escape route."

"I can only take the risk of activating the secret bank, giving them the news, and telling Haowen privately, while I attract everyone's attention in public."

"After such a long time, there hasn't been any bad news. I guess Haowen must have seen the news sent by Anzhuang!"

"Besides, I was the one who contacted the two people who saved me about the Anzhuang incident. Even they didn't know about it."

After he finished speaking, he took out a wrinkled, blood-stained letter from his bosom.

"This is the letter I snatched away. General, please take a look!"

"Qin Guoan's health is getting worse and worse, and his suspicion is getting heavier. I really don't know if this letter can have any effect. If he doesn't trust Haowen or me, or even gets tired of us, it would be bad to reuse Qin Shi!"

"From what he said, I can tell that Qin Guoan's poor health may have a lot to do with his concubine, Qin Shi's mother."

"They probably think that the situation is very good now and they will unify the world soon. According to Qin Guoan's temperament and Qin Haowen's current performance, they will definitely pass the throne to Qin Haowen. Then they are afraid that they will really have no way to survive."

Shen Zhiheng took the letter in his hand, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy.

"These people are truly more foolish than the last. At this crucial moment in the war between the two armies, they actually dare to smuggle food and fodder to the enemy!?"

"There's even a map of our troop distribution marked on it. This is truly unbearable."

Yu Shi sneered, "They did such beastly things to Qin Haowen and his mother. They knew that if Qin Haowen succeeded to the throne, they would die. So they would die sooner or later. They might as well fight it out like this."

“Even if I fail, I can drag everyone down with me.”

"What a vicious mind."

"It's just that Qin Guoan is becoming increasingly confused and wary of Qin Haowen. Only you can make him trust you a little bit!"

Shen Zhiheng clenched the letter in his hand, his face looking very ugly.

He just wants to spend some time with his wife and children. Why is it so difficult?

He let out a long sigh.

He knew that the situation was extremely critical and he couldn't let his children's personal affairs hold him back.

So he stood up, his face full of determination!

"Okay! I'll go say goodbye to Ruyue first."

"By the way! This time you should stay in Qingtian Mansion and don't go out."

"With Lin Yihao here, this is our territory. They can't get in."

Yu Shi shook his head anxiously, "How can this be possible?"

"If I rely solely on letters, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince that person. It's better for me to go with you. After all, I can be a witness and it can be very useful in a critical moment."

Shen Zhiheng looked at his legs, then at the injuries all over his body, "You'd better take good care of yourself and don't let Ruyue and your uncle and aunt worry."

"Even if you go back, it won't help. Should he not believe it or not? He's getting old and confused now, and he feels his health is getting worse day by day, so he's starting to be wary of Qin Wenhao again. It doesn't matter who says this. Only by letting him hear it with his own ears and see with his own eyes that the concubine is endangering his own interests can you shake his heart!"

"So, if you go now, you'll just die."

Yu Shi's face was filled with helplessness and anger. "Hey! Why am I so useless? I'm neither good at literature nor martial arts. I just got some information and now I'm being hunted everywhere..."

Shen Zhiheng quickly comforted him, "Brother, you are already very capable. Don't underestimate yourself. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know how brave Qin Shi and the others were."

"You just need to rest for a while and recuperate. You'll be busy sometime later!"

After such a long period of training, Yu Shi is no longer the timid and cowardly young man who would complain about himself or even take his anger out on others because of the smallest things!

He said this just to complain.

"Okay! I understand. Go and say goodbye to my younger sister. I'm afraid Qin Wenhao can't hold on there alone."

Shen Zhiheng nodded, quickly pushed the door open and walked out. However, just as he reached Yu Ruyue's room, the door was pushed open from the inside.

"What? Are you leaving?"

Shen Zhiheng looked at the girl in front of him with eyes full of reluctance, and felt very sad.

"Yes! I'm going to be away for a while this time. Are you going to stay here, or... or go find him somewhere else?"

"I'm afraid that after I leave, Lin Yihao won't be able to protect you."

Yu Ruyue looked at his sad expression, quickly pulled his hand into the house, closed the door, then held his face and kissed him.

Shen Zhiheng felt the soft fragrance between his lips, his eyes widened instantly, and then he took the initiative, pinching her slender waist with one hand, and holding the back of Yu Ruyue's head tightly with the other big hand, entangled his lips and teeth, as if he wanted to take away all the oxygen in her mouth and eat her alive.

He really didn't want to leave and wanted to stay with Yu Ruyue forever...

Wait until the two of them separate, breathless.

Yu Ruyue then said, "Don't worry and leave. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere!"

"But……"

Yu Ruyue covered his mouth and looked at him firmly, "You must have forgotten that I'm not a shrew who can only rely on others for survival, nor am I the kind of caged bird that dies at the first sign of fright."

"I don't need anyone's protection. If I want, I have something in my hands that can overthrow the entire court!"

Shen Zhiheng listened to her firm and domineering words, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably again.

Yes!

When he first met Yu Ruyue, he was attracted by her tenacity and optimism...

After that, Yu Ruyue was the only one who protected him during their time together!

Even though he was able to hold on to the position of general later, it was largely because of her!

She has never been a weak woman who needs to be protected. She just temporarily put away her claws, which does not mean that she has no ability to protect herself.

"Rather than engaging in intrigue and backstabbing in the court, I prefer to stay with my parents, farming and doing business. So you have to work hard. If I really take out those things, it will be really dangerous!"

Shen Zhiheng nodded firmly immediately, "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard."

He now felt an immense fighting spirit in his heart. He knew that if he didn't work hard, things would definitely become uncontrollable when Ruyue took action herself!

Thinking of this, he kissed Yu Ruyue twice, then reluctantly pushed the door open and went out. He found An An and Ning Ning who were still sleeping, and talked in their ears for a long time. Then he kissed their rosy little faces and went to say goodbye to others.

When An An and Ning Ning got up, they realized that the mosquito that had been buzzing in their ears was actually a farewell from their old father.
