Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 209

Shen Wei said to the three of them, "I'm almost fully recovered and I plan to set off for the Northwest border now. If I delay any longer, the weather will get cold and it will start snowing in the Northwest, which will make things even more inconvenient."

Shen Lingjun went up and took his pulse, then nodded: "He is indeed almost fully recovered."

Although the mission to the border was difficult and dangerous, none of the three stopped Shen Wei.

Because there is no other choice, the only way for the Shen family to have any hope of turning things around is to find evidence that the Shen family army was murdered.

Wen asked Shen Wei, "Are we leaving tomorrow?"

Shen Wei nodded: "I've already spoken to Chief Mo, and he'll send two of his men to come with me. Help me pack my things."

Shen Lingjun said, "Dad, I'll come to see you off tomorrow."

She wasn't too worried about Shen Wei's trip. According to Yao'er's dream, the war between Bei Yi and Xi Qi would begin at the end of September. She would also need to find a way to go to the northwest border in a while.

The next day, Shen Wei set off from the city, preparing to head to the Northwest.

Wen Shi, Shen Jingyang, and Shen Lingjun, along with Qin Chuyao, all came to see him off.

Shen Lingjun brought Shen Wei a whole bunch of miraculous medicines, and Wen Shi, just like every time Shen Wei went to war before, kept nagging him...

He gave him instructions.

Only Shen Jingyang remained silent beside him, his expression quite unpleasant.

He really wanted to go, but his legs were paralyzed, which meant he couldn't go. Even if he did go, he would only cause trouble.

At the appointed time, Mo Zhonggui arrived with two of his men.

Both men were young eunuchs, but they were dressed as guards, so you couldn't tell they were eunuchs at all. They were very capable and clearly had exceptional skills.

Mo Chonggui said to the two men, "From now on, you will escort Marshal Shen to the Northwest border, obey all of Marshal Shen's orders, and protect Marshal Shen's safety at all costs. Understand?"

The two men accepted the order in unison.

Shen Wei and the others mounted their horses, and Wen Shi and the others watched as the three of them walked onto the official road and headed northwest, gradually disappearing from sight.

By the time they could no longer see anyone, the sun was high in the sky, scorching the earth.

The autumnal equinox has passed, but this year's late summer heat is particularly intense, and the weather in Kyoto is still quite hot.

Shen Lingjun looked around. For months, not a single drop of rain had fallen, and the mountains and forests outside Beijing had all turned into a withered, yellowish-brown landscape.

The severe drought of this year has undoubtedly arrived.

She should also make her next plans.

Wen and Shen Jingyang were preparing to return to the city, while Shen Lingjun wanted to visit Qin Jianxi at the workshop in the suburbs on the way.

Qin Jianxi has gotten her wish and really went to the workshop to test the explosives. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to see Shen Wei off today.

However, Shen Lingjun didn't dare tell Wen Shi about this, for fear of being scolded by Wen Shi for spoiling the child and letting him run wild.

On their return to the city, Shen Lingjun lagged behind and whispered to Mo Zhonggui, "Chief Mo, shall we go together to see how your adopted daughter's explosives experiment is going?"
