Chapter 83 Shen Shilang, you ungrateful villain!

"Because Jianlang still has the Northwest Army behind him." Shen Shilang said clearly, "Just wait for the day..."

Shen Shilang did not say it, "Then Jianlang can rest assured, like a dragon entering the sea, like a tiger emerging from the mountain."

Wei Jianlang took a deep breath and looked at Wei Zhaoxian, "Father, what do you think?"

Wei Zhaoxian felt that it was too early for him to retire now as he still had ambitions to fulfill.

There are still barbarians who have not been conquered.

However, the Shen family’s fate is still vivid in our minds.

Wei Zhaoxian also always used this to remind himself that when facing the man in the capital, he should not be too brave, and when it is time to retreat, he should retreat quickly while he can.

Wei Zhaoxian took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

There were thick bloodshot eyes.

It's a relationship that has lasted a long time, but it's also due to the choice we have to make in the current situation.

"Then I will do as you say and resign from my post." Wei Zhaoxian said with red eyes.

Shen Shilang also breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Wei Zhaoxian would fight to the death.

He couldn't lose anymore.

"Then... I have another plan that requires the cooperation of the general and Jianlang." Shen Shilang said.

An hour and a half later, everyone in the military camp heard Wei Jianlang's roar from his tent: "Shen Shilang! You ungrateful villain!"

Shen Shilang's weak voice could be heard faintly from the tent: "Ahem! Ahem! The general took me in at the Wei family and allowed me to study with them. I was able to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, naturally because of the general's kindness. That's why I gave my life to repay you yesterday."

"Now, I have repaid the general's kindness, right?" Shen Shilang's voice was weak, but it was full of sarcasm. "I wonder where this hat of ungratefulness came from?"

"You!" Wei Jianlang roared as if he was at a loss for words.

"Young General, I dare not accept the accusation of being ungrateful." The more Shen Shilang spoke, the weaker his voice became, but he could still insist on continuing, "When I was in the Wei family, I was indebted to you. So when I was whipped by the second son of the Wei family and almost died, I dared not utter a word, dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction. Otherwise, I would be ungrateful."

"I passed the imperial examination, but was almost forced by Madam Wei to arrange a marriage with a merchant family. However, I dared not show any dissatisfaction. The only thing I could do was to leave the Wei family. Otherwise, I would be ungrateful."

Everyone outside listened to the voice in the tent, which sounded weak but every word was audible clearly. They thought to themselves that Shen Shilang was really strong!

Even though he was injured like this, he could still talk so much!

"Of course, it was thanks to General Wei's return to the mansion to administer justice that the marriage was not really allowed to take place." Shen Shilang coughed several times and continued, "Of course, Shen also remembers this favor. But Shen almost lost his life this time, and even now, he has already lost half his life. Shen's half of his life should be enough to repay these favors, right?"

When Wei Jianming walked outside Wei Jianlang's tent, he happened to hear Shen Shilang's words.

He was still wounded and had been beaten with a military stick, so it was difficult for him to get out of bed.

But he still wanted to come and see Shen Shilang despite his injuries.

No matter what, it was Shen Shilang who saved Wei Zhaoxian and also saved him.

Wei Jianming wanted to come and see how Shen Shilang was doing.

The previous conflicts were just a thing of the past, and he would not make things difficult for Shen Shilang again.

Who would have thought that when I arrived outside the tent, I would hear Shen Shilang say these words.

"Shen Shilang!" Wei Jianming angrily opened the tent, limped in, and walked in with a grin, "What do you mean by saying this!"

"It's nothing. I just want to say that Mr. Shen has repaid all his favors. Please don't use favors as an excuse in the future, Wei family." Shen Shilang said in a cold voice.

Everyone wondered, wasn't it fine before?

Why did they suddenly break up?

Then, Shen Shilang said, "General Wei made a big mistake this time. He disregarded the lives of many soldiers in order to save his own son. They can die on the battlefield, but they should not be implicated by a playboy who disobeyed military orders."

Wei Jianming's eyes turned red after hearing what Shen Shilang said, "Shen Shilang, don't go too far!"

Shen Shilang didn't care about Wei Jianming at all, and said in a cold voice: "Therefore, General Wei failed in his duty this time, and Shen will definitely report it to His Majesty."

Shen Shilang clasped his hands together and raised them up twice, "Your Majesty, please remove General Wei from his position."

Everyone outside the tent was shocked!

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Even Quan Guanran and Sheng Jinchao, who had rushed over after hearing the news, froze where they were when they heard Shen Shilang's words.

"General?" Sheng Jinzhao turned his head and looked at Quan Guanran.

"Let's go back first." Quan Guanran said as he turned around and strode towards his tent.

Sheng Jinzhao hurriedly followed and entered the tent, where Quan Guanran sent everyone away.

Sheng Jinchao then whispered cautiously: "General, is Shen Shilang real or fake?"

"He risked his life to save Wei Zhaoxian yesterday, and today he said he would petition His Majesty to remove Wei Zhaoxian from his post? As a result, the life-saving grace was directly offset, making the Wei father and son hate him so much. What did he want?" Sheng Jinchao asked.

"For the sake of a future." Quan Guanran thought he had figured it out and answered in a deep voice.

"But... he has offended the Wei family. Once the news spreads, he will be regarded as an ungrateful person. He already had a bad reputation in the court, and now he is truly a villain." Sheng Jinchao said in confusion.

"What does it matter if he is a villain in the eyes of the world? In the eyes of your majesty, he may be considered a capable minister." Quan Guanran said coldly.

Sheng Jinchao reacted immediately, "Yes, he was appointed as the Imperial Censor by His Majesty. This trip must be with His Majesty's order. His Majesty wants him to depose Wei Zhaoxian."

"We were all wondering what His Majesty could accomplish by sending a new scholar with no experience. Unexpectedly, Shen Shilang actually managed to accomplish it." Quan Guanran sneered.

"Then why did Shen Shilang take the risk to save Wei Zhaoxian?" Sheng Jinchao still didn't understand everything. "He just let Wei Zhaoxian die outside."

Quan Guanran glanced at him, shook his head and said, "You've been with me for many years, why are you still so unclear?"

"Leave Wei Zhaoxian outside. He is surrounded by enemy troops outside his hiding place. It is only a matter of time before Mr. Wei Zhao is captured." Quan Guanran said, "Wei Zhaoxian is a good general of Daxi, loyal and brave. The Turkic army has suffered several defeats under him. If such a man is captured alive by the Turks, it will greatly damage the morale of Daxi. How can we fight the next battle?"

"Even if Wei Zhaoxian committed suicide to prevent this from happening, his body would be taken away by the Turks, and his head would be hung outside the city. Where would Daxi's face be?" Quan Guanran said, "So the best way is to bring Wei Zhaoxian back safely."

"Shen Shilang saved us with his life. In this way, as he said, he repaid the Wei family's kindness with his life." Quan Guanran raised his lips slightly, "They are scholars and value their reputation. Although Shen Shilang's reputation is not very good now, he has to keep some face and pretend."
