Chapter 282 Pan Wanli's Care
As Liu Jianzhang read out the items one by one, his expression became more disappointed. When the last item was finished, Liu Jianzhang went to check other people's lists. Zhu Yixuan came to Shen Yi and asked expectantly: "Brother Shen, is there anything she prepared for me, or some news?"
Chen Yi shook his head, "You heard it too, my wife prepared clothes and food for me, as well as money and some small toys for the children. She couldn't bring letters and the like, and the box was limited in size. I'm afraid she didn't want to trouble my wife.
Mr. Zhu should have received some things from his hometown, so how could he not know their situation?"
Zhu Yixuan looked at Shen Yi deeply and smiled, "That's right, I was too impatient. No matter what, I feel relieved that they are with Brother Shen. I came here today not only to ask about their situation, but also to apologize to Brother Shen.
I know that Brother Shen and Xiong Kai have an old grudge, but Xiong Kai is working under me now. He is physically disabled, so the brothers will naturally take care of him. As the captain of a hundred, I can't ignore him.
In the past, I had Bai Feng around, so I had an excuse. Now that Bai Feng is gone, I have no one around me. If I don’t protect Xiong Kai anymore, my brothers will inevitably become alienated from me. I hope you can understand.”
Shen Yi pulled the corner of his mouth, just finding it funny, "Mr. Zhu, you don't have to tell me so much, you just did what you should do, just have a clear conscience."
"You have a clear conscience. I'm leaving first." Zhu Yixuan laughed and left.
His face became gloomy after he left the tent. As smart as he was, how could he not notice the alienation and vigilance of Shen Yi and his group towards him? But in order to climb up, he didn't care about so much. As long as they could help him rise to the top, he would use them no matter who they were.
As soon as Zhu Yixuan left, everyone's expressions immediately relaxed a lot.
Shen Yi opened the purse and found five hundred taels in it, and inside the small box was still a box of top-quality jade.
After thinking about it, he picked out the two best pieces and went to the tent of Deputy General Pan Wanli.
Pan Wanli was obviously very happy to see him coming, and waved his hand to let the others go down, "Chen Yi, you actually came to see me privately, is there something wrong?"
He admired Shen Yi very much and often promoted him. He also knew Shen Yi's personality. This guy rarely came near him except to discuss serious matters.
Chen Yi put the two pieces of jade on the table very directly. Seeing Pan Wanli was puzzled, he said, "Deputy General, my wife asked someone to send me something. I just got it. I can't use it, so I just gave it to the deputy general."
"Hiss!" Pan Wanli gasped, "Chen Yi! What on earth does your family do? You just give away jade like this! The box of treasures you gave me before was enough. You can take these two. I can't have them."
Chen Yi insisted, "Deputy General, there is no reason to take back what has been given away. If you feel bad, just tell me some news. How long will this war last? When can we go home?"
Pan Wanli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Chen Yi, oh Shen Yi, people are eager to start a war again so that they can make meritorious deeds. You have been promoted to a small commander-in-chief, but you don't want to continue to climb up. Why do you want to go back so much? You are really a hopeless case!"
Pan Wanli cursed angrily.
Shen Yi was not angry at all, but said in a burst of words: "Sir, you know my temper. I am not the kind of person who can be an official. If I hadn't made a few achievements and you appreciated me, I wouldn't have been able to sit in the position of the little governor.
I know my own limitations. If I continue to rise, I can only become a governor. Why bother? If we stop fighting sooner, we can all return home and live a peaceful life, right? "
Pan Wanli lost his temper after hearing what he said. After thinking for a while, he came close to Shen Yi and said in a low voice, "There is a distinguished guest in the military camp this time. It is General Cen's newly widowed daughter. It seems that General Cen wants to choose a husband for his daughter in the military camp. You young talents have a chance."
"Deputy General, what does this have to do with me?" Shen Yi frowned.
Seeing that he really didn't have any ideas, Pan Wanli breathed a sigh of relief but was also a little disappointed. He shook his head and smiled, "If you have any ideas, it's up to you. If not, stay away from General Cen's tent for the time being. That distinguished guest will probably stay in the barracks until the second day of the New Year before leaving.
As for when the truce will be, to be honest, I don’t know, but the fact that Longxia Country took the initiative to withdraw from Wuli this year is good news, so let’s wait and see what happens.”
"Thank you, Deputy General!" Shen Yi clasped his fists heavily, turned around and slipped away.
Pan Wanli looked at the jade on the table and laughed, then put the thing away solemnly.
Chen Yi is indifferent to fame and fortune, but he is different. He still has ideas about his career. Unfortunately, his family is too poor to help him get around. These jades can indeed be of great use to him.
After returning to the tent, Shen Yi called Song Yongnian and the others to his side and secretly told them the situation.
Shen Dagou was anxious. "Brother Shen, the generals will definitely not look down on us little soldiers, but it's different for young talents above the rank of centurion, especially you. You are the youngest little commander-in-chief. I guess General Cen has already included you in the candidate list for son-in-law. You can't agree to it! Otherwise, what will Sister Su Tai do?"
"That's right! Chen Yi, you must withstand the pressure, Xiao Tai is still waiting for you to come back!" Su Sheng looked nervous.
Su Tai is the sister he has watched grow up. She is no different from his own biological sister. He does not want Su Tai to be abandoned.
Shen Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I know what you said. If this kind of thing is not handled properly, it is easy to offend people, so I want to find Deputy General Pan and ask to patrol the border."
This was the most suitable solution he had thought of. Patrolling the border was a tough job. One trip took more than ten to twenty days and was fraught with danger. Generally, no one went there. Those who went there were soldiers who had committed crimes before.
Everyone looked solemn, weighing the pros and cons and respecting Shen Yi's decision.
Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief and went to Pan Wanli again to put forward his request.
Pan Wanli was confused by Shen Yi. He had seen people who were lazy and enjoyed themselves, but he had never seen someone who asked for abuse like him.
I had no choice but to agree.
In order to avoid any further complications, Pan Wanli delivered a message to the marshal's tent and set off with his men, including Shen Yi.
At this time, Cen Yingfan didn't know that his beloved son-in-law had run away, and he was trying to persuade his willful daughter earnestly, "No one here knows about what happened to you in the imperial capital, and no one will investigate your past. Dad has already told everyone that you are a newlywed widow. Choose a good man in the barracks to marry. With Dad here, you don't have to worry about anything.
This Shen Yi is not bad. He is young, but he is already a junior commander-in-chief. As long as he makes another contribution, he can be promoted to a senior commander-in-chief. In the future, if he follows me, it will not be difficult for him to be promoted to a deputy general. My father is very optimistic about this man. "
Putting aside other things, Shen Yi is indeed a good candidate, but he is a little dull and can't please his superior, which makes him a little unhappy. However, his daughter's lifelong event is more important, so this small problem can be completely ignored.
