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

Shen Shi felt extremely distressed and guilty. Nan Xuan was a perfectly healthy person, and he had sent him out to help clean up the battlefield. Now, he was missing and his fate was unknown. He simply couldn't face Su Lie, nor could he forgive himself for his mistake.

Shen Shi suddenly realized that he had sent Su Nanxuan to help clean up the battlefield, and that something might have happened during the cleanup.

So he found his former subordinates who had helped him clean up the battlefield.

He looked at the group and asked in a low voice, "When you were cleaning up the battlefield together, did you notice anything amiss?"

After hearing this, these people tried hard to recall the details of cleaning up the battlefield. Suddenly, one of them realized something was wrong.

He glanced at Shen Shi and said in a low voice, "General, when we heard a 'ah' sound, we looked up and found that General Su was gone. We thought he had left early and continued cleaning up the battlefield."

"Later, when I was taking inventory, I found that one enemy soldier's body was missing. It's possible that General Su had already met his end at that time."

"It was my dereliction of duty that I failed to report to you in time, General. Please punish me severely!"

After hearing this, Shen Shi looked at the subordinate who had spoken with a puzzled expression, and asked coldly, "So you think the corpse has grown legs and can run away by itself?"

After hearing this, the man looked at Shen Shi, unsure how to answer the question. But it was clear that one enemy soldier's body was missing; he couldn't possibly be mistaken!

Just then, one of the other subordinates who were cleaning up the battlefield looked at Shen Shi and spoke timidly.

"General, do you think it's possible that someone in the enemy army impersonated a corpse and hid among the pile of corpses, pretending to be dead to get away with it?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Shi immediately thought it was possible. After all, he himself had used this method before to fool the enemy right under their noses.

Immediately, Shen Shi instructed Deputy General Li to arrange for men to find the missing body. Upon hearing this, Deputy General Li looked at Shen Shi with suspicion, "General, why do you want to find the missing body? Do people steal corpses?"

Shen Shi explained this possible situation to Vice General Li, who looked at Shen Shi and nodded thoughtfully.

A moment later, Lieutenant General Li burst into uncontrollable laughter as he spoke, “Oh, this guy is such a coward… He’s really disgraced us men, utterly humiliated. General, don’t you agree!”

After hearing this, Shen Shi glanced at Deputy General Li and coughed awkwardly.

Seeing this, Lieutenant General Li looked at Shen Shi and asked with concern, "General, have you caught a cold? Are you alright? You must take good care of yourself!"

After hearing this, Shen Shi looked at Lieutenant General Li and waved his hand, "Lieutenant General Li, go and carry out my orders!" Lieutenant General Li clasped his hands in acceptance and then left.

Before long, Lieutenant General Li led his men to find the enemy soldier who was pretending to be dead in the pile of corpses and brought him to Shen Shi.

The enemy soldier looked at Shen Shi and smiled provocatively, "Shen Shi, you killed so many of our brothers, and you even killed our marshal."

"Now that you've lost a key general, let me show you what that pain feels like, hahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shi stepped forward, grabbed the enemy soldier by the collar, and roared angrily, "Tell me, tell me, what did you do to him... what did you do to him?"

"Look at Shen Shi, he's gotten so angry and embarrassed," the enemy soldier continued to provoke recklessly. "Anyone who didn't know better would think he was your son."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Shen Shi and found that he looked very much like the person he had kicked off the cliff. Could that person really be Shen Shi's son?

However, according to the intelligence they had, Shen Shi was not married at all and was still single. It was impossible for him to have such a big son. Could it be an illegitimate child he was raising outside?

The enemy soldier immediately dismissed the idea. According to their understanding, the Shen family had very strict family rules and would never do something like keeping an illegitimate child outside the home.

Then he thought of Shen Yurou, the youngest daughter of the Shen family, who was skilled in swordsmanship. She was exceptionally beautiful, possessing both the charm of a young woman and the fierce spirit of a woman from a military family.

Back in the day, their king had pursued this young lady from the Shen family. However, she resolutely and firmly rejected him.

Later, it was said that she married Su Lie, the eldest son of the Su family, who is now the prime minister of the Tianyue Kingdom.

Could the person he kicked off the cliff be the eldest son of Prime Minister Su Lie and this young lady of the Shen family, and Shen Shi's nephew?

That would be interesting. Military officers and civil officials already had different political views, and now with this incident, Shen Shi might have a hard time facing Su Lie when he goes back.

Shen Shi glanced at the enemy soldier who had been provoking him and said coldly, "Speak, speak quickly, what exactly did you do to him?"

The enemy soldier glanced at Shen Shi and said indifferently, "Shen Shi, you'll never find out where that person is. Hahaha, you'll never find out."

After the enemy soldier finished speaking, he looked at Shen Shi provocatively, smiled, and prepared to bite his tongue and commit suicide.

Upon seeing this, Shen Shi immediately sent men to stop the enemy soldier from biting his tongue and committing suicide.

Then, Shen Shi instructed Lieutenant General Li to put something resembling a pill into the enemy soldier's mouth. Lieutenant General Li obeyed the order, put the pill into the enemy soldier's mouth, and watched him swallow it.

"Shen Shi, you despicable and shameless scoundrel!" the enemy soldier looked at Shen Shi in horror, "What exactly did you feed me?"

After hearing this, Shen Shi looked at the enemy soldier and said with a cold smile, "What I'm giving you is a poison that will make you wish you were dead."

"This poison takes effect every half hour. When it takes effect, it feels like tens of thousands of ants are biting your body at the same time, and each time it is more painful than the last."

Upon hearing this, the enemy soldier fearfully pleaded, "General Shen, please, just give me a quick death!"

"You're not even afraid of death, so why would you be afraid of this?" Shen Shi said with a sneer.

"This general will not let you have your way. Tell me what you did to General Su, and maybe I'll consider giving you some antidote!"

After hearing this, the enemy soldier looked at Shen Shi and said with some doubt, "General Shen, I'll tell you everything, but you have to keep your word!"

After hearing this, Shen Shi looked at the enemy soldier and nodded slightly.

“I was lying in the pile of corpses pretending to be dead when General Su came to clean up the battlefield,” the enemy soldier said honestly. “I took the opportunity to kick him off the cliff.”

After speaking, the enemy soldier looked at Shen Shi and extended his hand, "General Shen, can you give me the antidote now?"

After hearing this, Shen Shi looked at the enemy soldier and shook his head. "What I gave you was just an ordinary licorice pill!"

"Shen Shi, you despicable and shameless scoundrel!" the enemy soldier glared angrily at Shen Shi, "How dare you play me for a fool!"

After hearing this, Shen Shi glanced at the enemy soldier and smiled indifferently.

Seeing this, the enemy soldier glanced at Shen Shi and sneered, "Shen Shi, that kid was kicked off the cliff by me. He won't survive that high!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Shi immediately ordered Li Fujun to lead men to search for Su Nanxuan's whereabouts at the bottom of the cliff.
