Rebirth of the Prime Minister's Daughter: Not to be Trifled With

After seeing his subordinates off, Shen Shigang sat down to rest for a short while. Just then, a subordinate rushed in, shouting, "General...General, something terrible has happened...something terrible has happened!"

After hearing this, Shen Shi took a sip of tea, looked coldly at the subordinate who had rushed in, and said in a cold voice, "We have won a great victory now and should celebrate properly. What do you mean by this?"

The subordinate looked at Shen Shi, and after a long while, he finally spoke, trembling, "General, something really terrible has happened!"

"You dare say that again?" Shen Shi's face immediately turned extremely ugly. "Then tell me, what kind of serious incident has happened?"

Just then, someone came to report, "General, General Su is missing." Upon hearing this, Shen Shi was immediately filled with doubt!

Didn't he arrange for Nanxuan to help clean up the battlefield? How could he have disappeared? Could it be that Nanxuan went somewhere else to slack off? But Nanxuan isn't that kind of person.

Immediately, Shen Shi went to find Shen Tianyi and whispered, "Tianyi, go look for Nanxuan, he's gone!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Tianyi was shocked and puzzled, but he still rushed out to find Su Nanxuan.

Shen Tianyi searched the area around the battlefield several times, but still couldn't find Su Nanxuan.

His anxiety grew, and he expanded the search area. However, after searching for several hours, he still couldn't find Su Nanxuan.

So, he walked back dejectedly. Seeing this, Shen Shi looked at Shen Tianyi and anxiously asked, "Tianyi, have you found Nanxuan?"

After hearing this, Shen Tianyi looked at Shen Shi and shook his head listlessly, "Sixth Uncle, Tianyi couldn't find Nanxuan."

Shen Tianyi told Shen Shi that he had searched around the battlefield several times and expanded the search area, but still could not find any trace of Su Nanxuan.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shi was terrified. How was he going to explain this to Su Lie when he got back? So, he quickly sent men to intercept his subordinates who had gone to deliver the battle report.

Then, Shen Shi ordered the remaining subordinates to go find Su Nanxuan. Just as Shen Shi was anxiously waiting, the subordinates who had been sent out to report the battle situation returned.

Shen Shi glanced at his subordinate who had brought the battle report and asked in confusion, "Hey, how come you got back so quickly? The battle report is here already?"

"General, I was in a hurry," the subordinate said in a low voice, "so I entrusted the nearest post station to send out the battle report. They set off several hours ago and should receive the imperial decree from the capital tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shi realized something was wrong and immediately recalled the men he had sent out to intercept and deliver the battle report.

These people looked at Shen Shi and asked in a low voice, "General, should we intercept the messengers sent out by the post station to report on the battle situation?"

"You want to die, don't you?" Shen Shi said coldly. "You even dared to intercept the messengers sent out by the post station. You've got some nerve!"

After hearing this, these people looked at Shen Shi with doubt. They came from poor families and were illiterate. How could they understand these things?

Seeing this, Shen Shi looked at the people and said in a low voice, "A post station is a very important communication and transportation facility. It can provide services such as rest, changing horses, and delivering documents."

"The documents delivered by the post stations are addressed to officials and the Emperor. To intercept them is tantamount to treason, tantamount to rebellion, a capital offense punishable by death. Do you understand now?"

After hearing this, the men nodded tremblingly and said in unison, "General, we understand!" Shen Shi looked at them and nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately, Shen Shi instructed these people to also help find Su Nanxuan.

Several groups of people were dispatched, searching from day to night, but they still couldn't find Su Nanxuan.

Shen Shi was extremely anxious. He knew he had to find Su Nanxuan as soon as possible, otherwise it would be unsafe. Therefore, he decided to personally lead a team to conduct a thorough search of the mountains and forests surrounding the battlefield.

Night fell, and the bright moon hung high in the sky. Shen Shi led the group forward with torches in the darkness, carefully searching for any clues Su Nanxuan might have left behind.

Holding torches to light the way ahead, they walked and called out, "Su Nanxuan... Su Nanxuan... Where are you? Come out quickly!"

But no matter how loudly they shouted, there was no response; it was eerily quiet.

Shen Shi led the group to search for hundreds of miles around. Everyone was exhausted, but they still couldn't find any trace of Su Nanxuan.

So, Shen Shi led everyone back to the camp. He suddenly remembered that he had arranged for Su Nanxuan to help clean up the battlefield.

So he found his subordinates who had helped clean up the battlefield and asked in a low voice, "When you were cleaning up the battlefield, did you see General Su? Did he come to help?"

At this moment, one of the subordinates looked at Shen Shi and whispered, "Reporting to the general, General Su came to help clean up the battlefield. But he disappeared after a short while; he probably left early!"

"Yes, yes! General Su did come to help clean up the battlefield," the other subordinates chimed in, "but he left shortly afterward, and we can't find him!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Shi was shocked and puzzled. He was completely confused. How could Nan Xuan, who was cleaning up the battlefield, suddenly disappear?

Then, Shen Shi looked at the people cleaning up the battlefield together and asked in confusion, "How do you all know that it was General Su who left on his own?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at Shen Shi and said in a low voice, "Reporting to the general, we did not notice when General Su left. We only know that when we looked up, we found that General Su was no longer there, so we assumed that General Su had left on his own."

At this moment, one of the people cleaning up the battlefield suddenly remembered something, looked at the group, and asked in a low voice, "Did you hear something that made you look up?"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly remembered, looked at Shen Shi, and said in a trembling voice, "General, we remember now."

"It seems we heard something like 'Ah...' before we looked up, and then we couldn't see General Su anymore. Do you think he might..."

Before the people cleaning up the battlefield could finish speaking, Shen Shi coldly interrupted them, "Stop talking and go about your own business!"

After the people who had helped clean up the battlefield left, Shen Shi became increasingly frightened, unsure how to face Su Lie.
